At this time, Jieli once again regained his previous pampered and calm expression, glanced at everyone lightly, and finally fell on Tuoba Totoer's face, and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Zuo Khan, what do you think of the current situation?" ”

Tuoba Totar raised his head suddenly, looked at Jieli in disbelief, his lips trembled slightly, and said hesitantly: "Great Khan, below" Tuoba Totar did not finish speaking, Jieli interrupted him: "Zuo Khan, you are the commander-in-chief of this battle, although you cannot escape the blame for the failure of the war, but Ben Khan is not a timid and cowardly incompetent, dare not admit his mistakes, if Ben Khan is not eager to seek merit and personally lead the army to rush into the Sui camp, he will not be so passive, so that the Sui army has an opportunity, and eventually leads to the turmoil of the army's heart and the rout of the whole line." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" paused, Jie Li continued: "Your guilt Ben Khan will be noted first, and then the reckoning will be made after this attack on Sui, and at present, Ben Khan has ordered you to make meritorious contributions, talk about your views!" ”

"Thank you for the great khan's grace!" Tuoba Totar was moved, his eyes were slightly red, and he bowed to the end and said in a trembling voice.

"Tuli, you are not afraid of Ben Khan's power and dare to face the advice, Ben Khan is very pleased!" Jieli turned his gaze to Tuli again and smiled gently.

"The Great Khan is wise!" The strings that had been tense in Tuli's heart finally relaxed, and he felt a cold chill on his back, but it was caused by cold sweat wetting his clothes.

"Great Khan Shengming!" Tuli and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, and saluted Jieli together.

"Get up, go to the big tent with Ben Khan, and don't disturb Alain Zhe to rest!" After speaking, Jieli took the lead and walked out.

Back to the handsome tent, everyone's mood has changed a lot, and after Alan Zhebei's interruption, Jieli's anger finally dissipated a lot, which is not a good thing for them.

Although Jieli is eloquent and magnanimous, he is a human being after all, and if he is a human being, he has joys, sorrows, and sorrows, as well as seven emotions and six desires, and it is inevitable that emotions will be brought into it.

Now, Jieli has the courage to admit his mistakes, and everyone admires him even more, after sitting down on the main seat, Jieli did not hesitate too much, and asked again: "Leaders, what do you think of the current situation?" ”

"Great Khan, I thought we could make a move back to the carbine!" Everyone was silent for a while, and Tuoba Tuotar was the first to speak.

"Back to the pistol?" Jieli frowned and repeated, suddenly seemed to think of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, his body couldn't help but straighten up, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what Zuo Khan's clever plan is, Ben Khan listens!" ”

"The Great Khan praises falsely, and he is only a little foolish." Tuoba Totar was not complacent because of Jieli's praise, his face was still calm and flat, and he groaned slightly, and he continued: "Great Khan, although our army was defeated today, the Sui army was also a miserable victory, and the price they paid was definitely above us, which also gave us the opportunity to turn defeat into victory. ”

Jieli didn't speak, but he looked at Tuoba Tuo Tuo Tuo Er seriously, waiting for the following, Tuoba Tuo Tuo Tuo Er smiled slightly, and continued: "Although Luo Yi's arrival stabilized the people's hearts and inspired the morale of the Sui army, Luo Yi only had 5,000 men and horses after all, and now Xiao Pass is short of materials, and there are not many people available in the city, if there are no reinforcements to help, we only need to besiege Xiao Pass again, and it will not take many days, Xiao Pass will definitely be self-defeating." ”

"However, now not only Luo Yi led the army to help, it is said that even Yang Yu, the king of Sui, personally led an army of 50,000 to Xiao Pass, we must fight quickly, as far as possible to break through Xiao Pass, when the time comes, with Xiao Pass as a support, even if the King of Sui is brave and good at fighting, I am afraid that I will not get any benefits.

Speaking of this, Tuoba Totoer's eyes couldn't help but burst out with a bright essence, and his body suddenly exuded a strong fighting spirit and self-confidence, and the compelling momentum made everyone a little surprised.

Jieli's eyes flashed, but his heart was very gratified, although he did not hold Tuoba Totar responsible for the defeat, but there was still some discomfort in his heart, no matter how brilliant Tuoba Totar was, but after all, he was old, no longer as brave and fearless as when he was young, but from Tuoba Toel's current demeanor, the momentum exuded from his body, Jieli once again saw the demeanor of the god of war who had stood for decades without falling.

Looking at Tuoba's confident look, the only remaining anger in Jieli's heart quietly dissipated, and he became more and more interested in the strategy of the former's mouth, Jieli has always been a high-minded and arrogant person, he can withdraw his troops and retreat, but he never wants to be chased and beaten by the enemy, like a lost dog.

The former was a strategic choice, while the latter was a great disgrace and the greatest blow to the majesty of his Great Khan. Jieli was unwilling to fail, which is the real reason why he did not choose to continue to retreat, but rested in place. "In that case, Zuo Khan will tell me your plan!" Jieli had a smile on his face and said lightly.

Tuoba Tuo Tak said: "Great Khan, I thought that the new victory of the Sui army would inevitably get carried away and give birth to arrogance, so as to relax our vigilance, we can use this point to counterattack Xiao Pass, surprise, with a point to break the face, we will definitely be able to take Xiao Pass!" ”

Jieli continued to ask, "Then, according to Zuo Khan, when is the right time to attack?" ”

"Tomorrow dawns."

"Why?" Jieli's eyes moved slightly, but his face was still calm, and he continued to ask.

Tuoba Totar pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "In today's war, our army is already quite tired, and its morale has been frustrated, and it is really unwise to be unable to counterattack at this time. And the Sui army won a great victory, and the morale was high, and attacking at this time was not conducive to our army. ”

"The so-called one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, the Sui army is good and bad, all of them are a rabble, far inferior to the elite of our army, once relaxed, their sharp spirit will be discharged, at dawn, the world is the darkest, and it is also the most relaxed moment for people, our army will attack at that time, and it will definitely be able to win by surprise, so that Yang Yu is caught off guard."

Jie Li was noncommittal, turned his gaze to the others, and asked lightly, "What do you think?" Han Timo and the others glanced at each other, frowning and thinking.

After a long time, Tu Li spoke: "Great Khan, I think this plan is feasible, Yang Yu is arrogant, he will definitely be complacent because of today's lucky victory, and celebrate greatly, our army can take the opportunity to seize Xiao Pass!" Speaking of this, Tuli stood up, looked at Jieli with burning eyes, and said: "Great Khan, our army is rejuvenating the army, and it is not far away to destroy the Great Sui, and we must not cower because of a temporary defeat, which will inevitably affect the morale of the army. ”

"Great Khan, the general thinks that this matter needs to be considered in the long run." At this time, it was Hari Buda, the leader of the Turkic Anda tribe, who spoke, his face was solemn, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his tone was a little heavy: "If there is no Luo Yi today, I am afraid that the Sui Lord has already died, but Luo Yi only led 5,000 cavalry but could easily break through the interception of our army, and cooperate with the Sui Lord Yang Yu to attack from both sides, and finally turned defeat into victory, which shows that the elite of the soldiers and horses under his command is not weaker than our army, or even stronger." After a pause, Harry Buda continued: "Luo Yi is now stationed in Xiao Pass, and the Sui King Yang Yu is coming, Yang Yu has experienced a hundred battles and is famous, if our army can't break through Xiao Pass in one battle, and is entangled by Yang Yu, once Yang Yu arrives, the consequences are unimaginable." Therefore, in the next day, we think that this plan is too risky, we should quickly withdraw to Tongzhou, and then make plans! ”

After listening to Halibuda's analysis, everyone couldn't help but fall into silence, Tuoba Totar said well, according to Yang Yu's arrogant and arrogant nature, Xiao Guan's precautions will definitely be lax, giving the Turkic army a chance, but Halibuda's words have to attract their attention, Yang Yu, who has experienced a hundred battles, is not so easy to deal with, hearing this, Jieli frowned again and fell into deep contemplation.

He is the Great Khan of the Turks, and every decision is related to the rise and fall of the entire Turkic Empire, the life and death of millions of people, and he must be cautious.

From a selfish point of view, Jieli is more inclined to Tuoba Totoer's strategy, although it is a bit risky, but wealth is in danger, and there is nothing in the world that does not need to be risked, especially Jieli can't swallow this evil breath in his heart, since he has controlled the Turkic power, it is the first time that he has been so embarrassed and humiliated. However, judging from his position, Haribuda's suggestion is undoubtedly the safest, and it will affect the whole body, and the victory or defeat on the battlefield is nothing, and only the one who laughs and laughs at the end is the final winner.

After thinking for a long time, Jieli still hesitated, not knowing whether to retreat or advance, but at this moment, Tuli fell to his knees with a "poof", interrupting Jieli's contemplation.

"Right Khan, what are you doing here?" Jieli looked at Tuli with some surprise and asked, Tuli's eyes flashed, he looked straight at Jieli, and said in a deep voice: "Great Khan, after several months of fighting, the soldiers of the whole army have long been tired and homesick, and now the weather is getting colder and colder, if we retreat at this time, the army's heart will be turbulent, if we want to go south again, I am afraid that we can't in a short time, and our years of preparation will not be in vain?" ”

"In recent years, because of the bad relations with the Sui State, Mongolia can take advantage of the opportunity to make it continue to grow, and now it is the tail of the big one, and it has gradually become the biggest scourge of my Turks, since the Great Khan ascended the throne, my Turks have become more and more smooth, the country and the people are safe, and the soldiers are strong and strong, but if the stalemate with the Sui State is too long, it will undoubtedly greatly consume the national strength, and it will be unfavorable in the future. Knowing that the Great Khan is eloquent and ambitious, we also hope to follow the Great Khan to conquer the world and complete the great cause of unification. After a pause, Tuli said again: "Great Khan, I am willing to make a military order, if you can't break through Xiao Pass, I am willing to thank the world with death!" The words are sonorous, firm and powerful, which shows his determination and confidence in the main battle.

Jieli was shocked, infected by Tuli, the blood in his body began to boil, and his heart began to stir, this is the best time to exterminate the Sui Lord, if you miss it, I am afraid that I can find it again, thinking of this, Jieli's eyes can't help but become hot, and his breathing is a little rapid and heavy, and the balance in his heart is also shifting towards Tuoba Totar in an instant.

……

Not to mention that Lin Nan of Xiao Guan was overjoyed, Jie Li's heart was full of war, but there was a small but heavily guarded military camp in a hidden valley a hundred miles southeast of Xiao Guan, and on the top of the mountain outside the barracks, there was a man in red standing at this time, judging from his slender and graceful figure, but he was a young and moving woman.

The cold wind continued in winter, especially on the hillside, but the woman did not feel the cold, and let the cold wind blow away a green silk, and then leave a faint red mark on her fair and delicate face, but she looked blankly at the northwest, pursed her lips tightly, and did not move.

She didn't know how long she had been standing, maybe it was a moment, maybe it was a day, it was like a sculpture, and even the blurred and sad eyes did not change in the slightest, blending in with the desolate scene around her, making it even more desolate.

"Sha, Sha!" The sound of subtle footsteps sounded, and a slender figure appeared again under the hillside, she was walking towards the woman on the top of the mountain, the lotus step moved lightly, leisurely walking, white clothes fluttering, like a fairy who fell into the mortal world.

Her movement seemed slow, but with each step she took, she would drift forward for several meters, and it didn't take long for the woman in white to climb to the top of the mountain and stand still behind the woman in red.

"Sister Yun, it's windy outside, you've been standing for a long time, let's go down the mountain and rest!" The woman in white has a very beautiful appearance, but her expression is cold, as if she does not eat fireworks in the world, and only the occasional warmth in her eyes can make people feel the temperature in her heart.

"Xue'er, Lord Sui is really as good as you say, is it worth your help to him like this?" The cold voice of the woman in red came. "Yes." The woman in white nodded, not saying anything more.

……

The winter night came to the earth early, accompanied by even more cold weather, the northwest wind whined, raging on the somewhat desolate land, but the palace of Xiaoguan was brightly lit and prosperous.

During the day, Lin Nan won a great victory, so that the latter fled in embarrassment, and the boulder that had been pressing on everyone's hearts for days finally disappeared, and Lin Nan was able to raise his eyebrows.

Luo Yi, as a key player in turning the tide of the war at this time, is naturally Lin Nan's honored guest, the seat is on the left side of Lin Nan, just opposite Liu Wenjing, since the Turks went south, the winter night came to the earth early, accompanied by more severe weather, the northwest wind whined, raging on some desolate land, but the palace of Xiao Guancheng was brightly lit and prosperous.

This palace was originally the palace of Emperor Yang Guang, and now it has become Lin Nan's palace, although it is only a palace, but the previous owner Yang Guang is a spendthrift of money and extravagance.

Pavilions and pavilions, there are a lot of landscapes, flowers and plants, all of which are extraordinarily exquisite and luxurious, during the day Lin Nan won a big victory, so that the latter fled in embarrassment, the boulder that has been pressed in the hearts of the people of Xiaoguan for several days finally disappeared, and Lin Nan was able to raise his eyebrows, it was the time when he was extraordinary, he then issued an edict to reward the three armies, and set up a banquet in the palace to celebrate his achievements, Luo Yi as a key role in turning the tide of the war at this time, naturally Gao Changgong's distinguished guest, the seat was on the left side of Lin Nan, and Liu Wenjing was just opposite.

Since the Eastern Expedition of the Turkic Army, the Sui army has been at a disadvantage, losing land and losing cities, defeated again and again, and now finally achieved an unprecedented victory, so that Jieli was defeated and fled, which was an exciting victory for the people of the Great Sui, and for Lin Nan, it was also a bargaining chip for him to sit on the throne and win the hearts of the people, no wonder he was so excited.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time I was able to defeat Jieli, lift the siege of Xiao Pass, and restore peace and tranquility to Xiao Pass, thanks to all of you fighting to the death and working hard together, please drink this cup with me, and wish you this great victory!" Lin Nan was wearing a wide and luxurious yellow robe, his face was full of red light, and he was holding a gorgeous wine bottle, because the smile on his face was too bright, and his eyes were narrowed into a slit.

"We are just doing our duty, how dare we take credit, it is all under the command of Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven, blessed by heaven and earth, and he is no more reckless than a wild boy, how can he be compared with His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is extremely brave, he is really the first warrior of my Great Sui, and no one is invincible!"

……

Listening to the compliments in the hall and Lin Nan's arrogant laughter, Luo Yi frowned slightly, and there was a hint of displeasure on his face.

The siege of Xiao Guan was solved, and Luo Yi contributed a lot, but Lin Nan attributed all the credit to himself, which still made Luo Yi very angry, there was no one in the hall who did not pat Lin Nan's ass in addition to Luo Yi, that is, Liu Wenjing opposite Luo Yi, he is one of the few more pragmatic officials in the Great Sui, and he has a long-term vision, and he is not as optimistic about the current situation as Lin Nan;

Luo Yi just glanced at Liu Wenjing and then withdrew his gaze, his face did not show the slightest abnormality, just looked at the noisy hall like an outsider, and looked at those brightly dressed civil and military ministers who praised Lin Nan endlessly, and couldn't help but show a faint disdain in his eyes.

When Luo Yi was quietly observing everyone, Liu Wenjing was also observing him, although Luo Yi's arrogant posture during the day made him unhappy and his evaluation of him was greatly discounted, but when Liu Wenjing found that Luo Yi was not like everyone else, and there was a mocking look in his eyes, his heart suddenly burst out, and he was faintly uneasy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's drink this cup together!" Lin Nan smiled like a flower, his eyebrows danced, his face was full of red light, he said, he took the lead in raising a glass and drank it all, Luo Yi and the others did not dare to slack off, they got up and followed, and when everyone sat down again, Lin Nan continued: "You have worked hard these days, just drink happily tonight, one is to celebrate, and the other is to rest!" After speaking, Lin Nanchong waved his hand in the corner, and the music of the silk and bamboo orchestra suddenly played, which also marked the official start of the celebration banquet.

"Liu Aiqing, this time our army repelled the Turkic army, thanks to you sitting in the main camp, commanding and dispatching, I salute you!" After the maid was full of wine, Lin Nan looked at Liu Wenjing gently, her eyes full of appreciation. (To be continued.) )
