Zhisi Li Gong said: "The Great Khan said that there is a word, and the letter is here, you can just take it and see it." As he spoke, he took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhu Luo, who quickly opened it and read it, and the more he looked at it, the more he frowned, and finally glared at Zhi Si Li and asked, "Why are some places smeared with a pen, what does this mean?" Zhi Si Si Li shook his head and said, "This is how they sent it, and I don't know the intention. Zhu Luo sneered, looked at Zhi Si Li and said: "Does the general treat me as a three-year-old child? This kind of carving insect skill also wants to deceive me?" Zhi Si Li was shocked, and said in a panic: "Great Khan" Before he finished speaking, Zhu Luo had already shouted: "Come on, take Zhi Si Li down, and put him in the water prison for the time being." ”

Zhi Si Li was shocked and took two steps back, only then did he react and shouted loudly: "Don't fall for the Han people's divisive scheme, I Zhi Si Li is loyal, there is no rebellion, heaven and earth can be learned!" But he listened to these words, and still ordered someone to take him down, because in doing so, although he lost the arm of Zhi Si Li, he could fight with Lin Nan with confidence, at least he didn't have any doubts in his heart, and he didn't have to worry about it.

This news quickly reached Lin Nan's ears, at this time Lin Nan was still on the way to the march, and he was overjoyed after hearing the news, and the rest of the civil and military forces also felt that this was good news, especially Zhuge Zhi, who applauded and praised: "Your Majesty, without the wisdom of Zhisi Li, how can you be the emperor's opponent." Lin Nan nodded, but he commanded: "Don't underestimate Jieli too much, although he is Chu Luo's younger brother, he is much smarter and more cunning than Chu Luo, we must not take it lightly, let him have a chance." "Yes!" the generals ordered.

After Jieli received the news that Lin Nan sent troops to Xiaoguan, he was busy discussing with his generals, and he mentioned two things, one is that the Sui army is now marching towards Xiaoguan, and the troops are surprisingly strong, and it is roughly estimated that it will reach as many as one million, and the other is that their food has been almost eaten, and if it goes on like this, even if they can resist the attack of the Sui army, they will be trapped to death and starve to death in Xiaoguan.

There was a buzzing discussion in the tent, and Jieli asked, "Is anyone scared?" His general Ha Dayun stood up and shouted loudly: "What are you afraid of? We have been fighting with the Han people for more than a day or two, and no matter how many sheep there are, they are not all for wolves to eat? Not to mention a million people, even five million, we are not afraid!"

An older leader with a white beard suddenly said: "But after all, the grassland has been dry for more than half a year, and our war horses have lost a lot of weight, and now the army is in short supply of food and grass, and the Sui army has a million people at once, so easy to fight this battle!"

Jieli glanced at the leader who spoke and said: "I think Ha Dayun's words are reasonable, although the Sui army is numerous, there are many infantry, few cavalry, and they have not fought for a long time, so they have no actual combat experience. Although the number of our army is less than that of the Sui army, they are all cavalry, and most of them are experienced in battle, and the Sui army is by no means the opponent of our army when it comes to fighting. ”

Jieli gestured to a courtier, and the courtier unfolded a huge sheepskin map, Jieli raised his horsewhip and pointed to a valley in the map: " This place is called Jiulong Valley, the Sui army must pass through here if they want to come to Xiaoguan, they are now in a hurry to enter the army, they must think that we will sit and wait, wait in Xiaoguan, then we will now make a posture to enter the Khitan to grab food to confuse the Sui army, and then divide 60,000 people to ambush here, just waiting for the Sui army to give them a head-on blow as soon as they arrive, although they can't eliminate them, but at least let them know how powerful our Turkic cavalry is. The leaders nodded their heads when they heard this, and Jieli continued: "As for the grain and grass, there are 500,000 stone military grain in the Sui army's Yunzhong warehouse and Tongzhou warehouse, and there are even more grains in Chang'an, Luoyang, and Yangzhou.

When he said this, he suddenly continued: "I will set a rule for my eldest brother today, kill a Sui soldier, and you can get ten stones of food after the war!"

Next, Jieli began to discuss with everyone about the general who was responsible for ambushing the Nine Dragons Valley, and finally decided that Ha Dayun would be in charge, and a big battle was about to break out, but they looked down on Lin Nan too much, and always thought that the emperor who stayed in the gentle countryside didn't understand anything, and it might not be easy to defeat Lin Nan in the Nine Dragons Valley.

Why do you say that? Because the place that Lin Nan is referring to in his tent now is the Nine Dragons Valley.

"Generals, please see, this place is the only way to Xiaoguan, recently it has been rumored that Jie Limo soldiers Lima, make a move to attack the Khitan, but I think this is just his ploy to cover up people's ears, he must have ambushed the men and horses here now, made a set, just waiting for us to drill in. ”

"What should I do then?" The generals had no idea for a while, only Zhuge Zhi and Liu Wenjing smiled silently, and it seemed that they were confident. ”

Lin Nan saw the thoughts of the two, so he asked Liu Wenjing: "What does Wen Jing think to do?" Liu Wenjing agreed, and then pointed to the map and said: "The reason why Jieli sent troops to ambush here is only because we expect that we have a large number of people and horses and can't take the waterway, but we can't follow his way now, and order the soldiers to cut down trees to make rafts and take the waterway alone, but we want to see how Jieli responds!"

On the Poluo River, the white camps that stretch for dozens of miles are covered with a thin layer of brilliance against the background of the bright moon.

The flags raised in the wind, the soldiers shouting from time to time, and the neighing of the restless horses show the unique temperament of the army. The soldiers patrolling back and forth, neat and agile, showed a murderous aura that only had iron and blood training, calm and sophisticated.

The coldness on the halberd seemed to be in contrast to the moonlight, and the sound of the river beating against the rocks could be heard in the distance, although it was not as strong as the fierce and slightly fishy waves, but the humid water vapor still entered the camp with the evening breeze.

The lights in the camp were extinguished seven or eight times out of ten, and it was very quiet in the layers of fog blocking the river.

After a day's bamboo felling, the soldiers were already tired, not to mention that the trees had almost been cut down, and they had to run farther to cut them down, and they had to carry them back, which was even more work than coolies.

Fortunately, the treatment is still good, at least the rice is enough, at this time, the Chinese military camp tent is brightly lit, and bursts of words are heard from time to time, and they disappear in the vast mist.

Lin Nan wore a rare mink robe, this thing was made of the softest part of the fur on the tail of the ferret, very soft, it was an offering from Gao Changguo to the Sui Dynasty, but this thing was also very hot, if it weren't for the cold in the early spring in the north, Lin Nan would definitely not wear it.

And Nalan Xue is still the same outfit, a beauty is a beauty, although the outfit has not changed, but every time it looks different, it feels different from the previous time, this may be the charm, the charm of the soul.

"In the whole grassland, it seems that only my princess Cher is the most beautiful. Lin Nan smiled and took her in his arms and asked softly, who knew that Nalan Xue shook her head, sighed and said, "No, there is another woman who is ten times more beautiful than me." "Oh?" This sentence was unexpected by Lin Nan, he knew that Nalan Xue would not lie, she said that the woman was beautiful, that must be beautiful.

Thinking of this, he really wanted to meet that beauty, so he couldn't help but ask, "Who is that person, and what is your name?" Nalan Xue said thoughtfully: " Her name is Ashina Yun, she is the daughter of one of the three Turkic tribal leaders Tuli, Zhang's appearance is like a fairy, she is the brightest star on the grassland, and the general that women on the grassland worship the most is Zhisi Li, and the man's favorite woman is Ashinayun, but her vision is very high, and ordinary men can't get into her eyes, so he hasn't married yet, and he is nineteen years old. ”

"Ashina Yun, I must meet you when I have the opportunity. Lin Nan said fascinatedly.

Nalan Xue is different from Murong Yun, the three wives and four concubines of the men on the grassland are not only ordinary, but also a symbol of status, so Nalan Xue didn't think there was anything like this, but smiled at Lin Nan and said: "When the emperor pacifies the Turks, isn't Ashina Yun your guest on the scene?"

As soon as he heard about the pacification of the Turks, Lin Nan sighed slightly, and lost his mind in the handsome seat, the fire in front of him was burning, steaming with a trace of heat, and the tent was very warm.

She showed a look of concern, and put a pair of slender jade hands on Lin Nan's shoulders and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, let's wait now, but Jieli can't afford to wait, they want a quick battle, but we don't need it, so even if we make a cut, Jieli will definitely retreat the people and horses who are ambushed in the valley in a few days." ”

Lin Nan saw that she could know her own thoughts, and liked it in her heart, so she smiled and said: "Jieli is not as simple as imagined, he will not fail to see that my felling is a delaying strategy, he will not withdraw his troops for a while, and even if Chu Luo smashes the pot and sells iron, he will send the grain to him, so that he can trap us, and even worse, they may go to slaughter the Khitan to replenish the grain and grass." ”

Speaking of this, he obviously felt Nalan Xue's body tremble, and hurriedly comforted: "But don't worry, I won't let them succeed." ”

"Well, the emperor's martial arts, how can they be compared. Nalan Xue sat on Lin Nan's lap, her eyes full of tenderness and sweetness.

Lin Nan can be regarded as having her now, but he hasn't slept with her so far, not because Nalan Xue refuses, but because he somehow can't be interested in seeing her, this thing makes Lin Nan very distressed, and secretly says that this is too strange, if Nalan Xue doesn't have that charm, then I'm afraid there is no one in the world, but how can I think about it, Lin Nan still can't figure it out, seeing that the night is also deep, I can only sigh to her gloomily and say: "Okay Xue'er, you go back to the tent, I still have to see the military strategy and sleep." ”

When Nalan Xue saw him driving himself away again, although she revered his behavior as a righteous gentleman, she didn't like it, after all, there was no such person on the grassland and in the Khitan tribe.

"Your Majesty, I'll accompany you today. Nalan Xue said delicately, if a man can stand it, it can be called Brother Liu's life, but Lin Nan still didn't react, it seemed that he had an instinctive resistance to Nalan Xue, and she was always not interested.

"I'm a little tired today and want to rest by myself. Lin Nanwan rejected her, Nalan Xue could only nod gloomily, and then got up and reluctantly went out.

"What's wrong with me, is there something wrong with my body, or is it just that I don't react to her. Lin Nan scratched his head and couldn't think of a reason, at this time a maid walked in with a supper, she lowered her head, she couldn't see her appearance clearly, but her figure was graceful, and she walked gracefully, and she must not be an ordinary product.

She knelt down and put the supper away, and then said respectfully and softly: "Your Majesty, please use it." Lin Nan's mind turned and decided to try himself with her, so he laughed and said, "Raise your head and let me take a look." ”

The little maid raised her head slightly, her lips were slightly red, her phoenix eyes were beautiful, and her face was red, although this kind of beauty was not as good as Nalan Xue, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was captivating the country and the city, and her elegance was peerless, and she showed a cuteness and a weakness, only Lin Nan couldn't help but sigh secretly: "There are so many beauties in the palace, and a slave maid will be so beautiful." In fact, he knew that there were not many beauties in the palace, and the beauties all called him to meet her, but she was really young, and it seemed that she was fourteen or fifteen years old, but she could be like this at such a young age, and maybe there would be potential for development in the future.

"What's your name. How old is this year?" Lin Nan asked, and the little maid weakly agreed: "The slave maid is named Shangguan Wan'er, and she is a little twenty-eight years old. ”

"Shangguan Wan'er?" This name made Lin Nan dumbfounded, but he felt ridiculous when he thought about it, what kind of person is Shangguan Wan'er, where can she be a slave, and the era is not right, the Tang Dynasty of that era doesn't know if there is any more in this era, think about it, this Shangguan Wan'er must not be the other Shangguan Wan'er, but there are not no people with the same name, this is not surprising, but it is just the same name as a celebrity, which will make people pay attention.

The little beauty is not yet sixteen years old, but she meets Lin Nan's standards, and she likes little Lori more and more, whether this is good or bad, I really can't tell.

Thinking about messy things in her heart, but it was a little strange for Shangguan Wan'er, this little girl had a very deep scheming, she could see Lin Nan's thoughts at a glance, and knew that she would not escape the clutches of the devil tonight, but in fact, she was thinking about this day.

The family revenge has not been avenged, she has been trapped in the palace first, and the slave maid has the most no status in the palace, and if she wants to get ahead, I am afraid it will be impossible in this life, so she has to seize the opportunity to capture the emperor's heart.

But the premise is that she can't be pretentious yet, she has to be reserved, she knows what men like, and she also knows what to do to be the best.

"Your Majesty, the supper is getting cold, I'll take it and change the bowl for you. Shangguan Wan'er reached out to get the bowl, but was pulled by Lin Nan, she immediately sighed, pretended to pull out her hand, her face was bloody, and she didn't know what to do.

If there is a man in the world who can deceive Lin Nan, then I am afraid that only Nangong Yuxing is the only one, but if there is a woman in the world who can't deceive Lin Nan, it means that this woman is really not smart.

Shangguan Wan'er, a little girl who had just experienced the world, did pretend to be very similar, so Lin Nan didn't have any doubts at all, and she liked it more and more, and couldn't help but smile at her and said, "What are you afraid of, I can't eat you again." ”

Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly knelt down, and said again and again: "The emperor is the son of heaven, and the slave is just a lowly person, how can she be" Speaking of this, she couldn't speak, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, and she looked pitiful and anxious.

"I have never said that slaves and maids are inferior people, and I have never looked down on slaves and maids, and subordinates are also human beings, and people like me, what is the difference between inferiority, if you think so, you will inevitably underestimate me. Lin Nan said this in her heart, but in Shangguan Wan'er's eyes, it seemed so hypocritical, all these words in her ears were just empty words for a man to deceive a woman into the cave room, although she was young, she had already seen through the man.

However, although she thought so in her heart, she showed a grateful look on the surface, and said again and again: "The slave maid didn't mean this, the emperor misunderstood, how dare the slave and maid say that the emperor is not." Her silly and silly appearance really made Lin Nan cry and laugh, and at the same time, she couldn't help but think: "Shangguan Wan'er is such a smart person, every time she thinks of this girl is so naïve, think about it, the same name does not necessarily mean that even the personality is the same." ”

"Alright, alright, get up. He gently helped Shangguan Wan'er up, looked at her teardrop-stained face, and sighed: "The little beauty is crying like a begonia with rain, how can it not be pitiful." ”

"Your Majesty. Shangguan Wan'er said softly, then bowed her head and said nothing, and Lin Nan took her into her arms, hugged her delicate and boneless body and walked up, Shangguan Wan'er saw that the plan succeeded, and a drum of vicious and hateful thoughts came to her heart.

"Sooner or later, you will all die at my hands. There was nothing to say all night, Lin Nan originally wanted to use Shangguan Wan'er to prove herself, but every time she thought of how this little girl looked naive, but she was so powerful in this aspect, she knew more things than Lin Nan, and she seemed to be tireless, so Lin Nan muttered in her heart: Such a little girl is also a girl who has no experience in the world, how can she be so familiar with this kind of thing? But muttering, Lin Nan didn't think deeply, because he was really happy this night, maybe very fast.

And Shangguan Wan'er is actually about to collapse, and the reason why she is barely supporting it is only because she knows that her appearance is not special, if she can't conquer Lin Nan in other aspects, she will soon be forgotten by Lin Nan, but she never thought that Lin Nan is a man that a woman can't conquer.
