After speaking, Jieli once again regained his previous pampered and calm expression, glanced at everyone lightly, and then 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, Weichen-" Before Tuoba Totar could finish speaking, Jieli interrupted him: "Zuo Khan, you are the commander-in-chief of this war, although you cannot escape the blame for the failure of the war, but Ben Khan is not a cowardly and cowardly incompetent, and he does not dare to admit his mistakes." "If Ben Khan hadn't been eager to seek merit and personally led the army into the Sui camp, he would not have been so passive, giving the Sui army an opportunity, which eventually led to the turmoil of the army and the rout of the whole front." After a pause, Jieli 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 to the crime, talk about your opinion!" "Wechen Xie Great Khan's grace not to kill!" 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. Returning to the handsome tent, everyone's mood has changed a lot. After Alan Zhebe's interruption, Jieli's anger finally dissipated a lot, which was not a good thing for them. Although Jie Li is eloquent and magnanimous, he is a human after all. If you are a human being, you will have joys, angers, sorrows, and sorrows, and you will have 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 didn't hesitate much. He asked again, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the current situation?" "Great Khan, Wechen thinks we can 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 praised. Weichen is just a little stupid. 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 tragic 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 Tuotl seriously, waiting for the following. Tuoba Tuo Tuo smiled slightly. continued: "Although Luo Yi's arrival stabilized the people's hearts and stimulated the morale of the Sui army, Luo Yi only had 5,000 men and horses after all, and now Xiaoguan 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 in a short time, 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 Xiaoguan, and we must fight quickly. Defeat Xiao Pass as soon as possible. When the time comes, with Xiao Guan as the backing, even if the King of Sui is brave and good at fighting, I am afraid that he will not be able to 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, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart. No matter how glorious he once was, he was old and no longer as brave and fearless as he had been when he was younger. However, from Tuoba Totoer's current demeanor and the momentum emanating 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 plan in the former's mouth. Jieli has always been a high-minded and arrogant man, he can withdraw his troops and retreat, but he will never want 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 Totoer said: "Great Khan, Weichen thinks that the new victory of the Sui army will 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 little 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 blow, then decline, three and exhaustion. The Sui army is not good or bad, it is a rabble, far inferior to the elite of our army's officers and soldiers, 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, and our army will attack at that time, and it will definitely be able to win by surprise, so that Emperor Yang Yu of Sui 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, Tuli spoke: "Great Khan, Weichen thinks this plan is feasible. Yang Yu is arrogant and arrogant, and he will definitely be complacent because of today's lucky victory, and celebrate with great joy, our army can take the opportunity to capture Xiao Pass! Speaking of this, Tuli stood up, looked at Jieli with burning eyes, and said: "Great Khan, our army is mobilizing the army, and it is not far away to crusade against the faint king, and we must not shrink because of a temporary defeat, which will inevitably affect the morale of the army." The last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead 5,000 dead soldiers to take on the task of breaking the city! "Great Khan. In the end, I thought that this matter needed 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." However, Luo Yi only led 5,000 cavalry, but he was able to easily break through the interception of our army, and cooperate with Yang Yu, the lord of Sui, to attack from both sides. In the end, the defeat turned 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 his reputation is great, if our army can't break through Xiao Pass in one battle, and is entangled by Yang Yu." Once Yang Yu arrived, the consequences would be unimaginable. Yes, Weichen thinks that this plan is too risky, we should withdraw to Tongzhou as soon as possible, and then make plans! After listening to Haribuda's analysis, everyone couldn't help but fall into silence. Tuoba Totar is right, according to Yang Yu's arrogant and arrogant nature, Xiao Guan's precautions will definitely be lax. The Turkic army was given an opportunity, but Haribuda's words had to attract their attention. The battle-hardened Yang Yu 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 selfishness. Jieli is more inclined to Tuoba Totar's strategy, although there are some risks, but wealth and danger are sought, 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 was the first time he had been so embarrassed and humiliated. However, from the point of view of his position, Haribuda's advice is undoubtedly the soundest. Pull a hair and move the whole body, the victory or defeat on the battlefield is nothing, only the one who laughs the most is the final winner. After thinking about it for a long time, Jieli still hesitated, not knowing whether to retreat or advance. 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. Tu Li's eyes flashed, he looked straight at Jieli, and said in a deep voice: "Great Khan, after several months of fighting, the officers and 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 it will not be possible in a short time, and our years of preparation will not be in vain?" "In recent years, because of the hostility with the Sui State, Mongolia has been given an opportunity to take advantage of it and make it grow stronger, and now it is a big tail and has gradually become the biggest scourge of our Turks. Since the Great Khan ascended to the throne, our Turks have become more and more prosperous, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the soldiers are strong, but if the stalemate with the Sui State is too long, it will undoubtedly greatly deplete the national strength and be unfavorable in the future. "Wechen knows that the Great Khan is eloquent and ambitious, and we also hope to follow the Great Khan to conquer the world and complete the great cause of unification. Therefore, Weichen thinks that we must destroy the Sui State as soon as possible, even if the price is great! After a pause, Tuli said again: "Great Khan, Weichen is willing to make a military order, if you can't break through Xiao Pass, you are 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, and 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 you will be able to find it again. Thinking of this, Jieli's eyes couldn't help but become hot, his breathing was a little rapid and heavy, and the balance in his heart also shifted 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. On the top of the hill outside the barracks, there was a man in red standing at this time, judging from his slender and graceful figure, 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 movements seemed slow, but with each step she took, she drifted several meters forward. After a short time, the woman in white climbed to the top of the mountain and stood behind the woman in red. "Sister Yun, it's windy outside, and 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 flash of warmth in her eyes can make people feel the temperature in her heart." Xue'er, Lord Sui is really as good as you say, and he deserves to help him so much? The cold voice of the woman in red came. Be. The woman in white nodded. Didn't say anything more.

……

Winter nights come early on the earth, accompanied by even colder weather. The northwest wind whined and howled, raging on the somewhat desolate land, but the palace in Xiaoguan was brightly lit and prosperous. During the day, Lin Nan won a big victory, which made the latter flee 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, which was the time of great pride. So he issued an edict to reward the three armies, and even held a banquet in the palace to celebrate his achievements. Luo Yi, as a key player in turning the tide of the battle at this time, was naturally Lin Nan's honored guest, and his seat was on the left side of Lin Nan, opposite Liu Wenjing. Since the Turks moved south, winter nights have come to the earth early, accompanied by even colder weather. The northwest wind whined and howled, raging over the somewhat desolate land. But the palace in Xiao Guancheng is brightly lit and prosperous. This palace was originally the residence of Cushman & Wakefield. Now it happens to be the palace of Lin Nan. Although it is only a palace, the previous owner Gao Wei is a master who spends money and extravagantly, and this palace is not as good as the palace in Yecheng. There are many pavilions and pavilions, and there are many landscapes, flowers and plants. It's all extraordinarily exquisite. During the day, Lin Nan won a big victory, which made the latter flee in embarrassment, and the boulder that had been pressing on the hearts of the people of Xiaoguan for days finally disappeared, and Lin Nan was able to raise his eyebrows, which was the time of great pride. So he issued an edict to reward the three armies, and even held a banquet in the palace to celebrate his achievements. Luo Yi, as a key player in turning the tide of the battle at this time, is naturally Gao Changgong's honored guest, and his seat is on the left side of Gao Wei, opposite Liu Wenjing. 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 Xiaoguan, and restore peace and tranquility to Xiaoguan, thanks to your efforts to fight to the death and work together. Please join me in drinking this cup and wish you a 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, we are all under the command of Your Majesty! "Your Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven, blessed by heaven and earth, and you are no more reckless than a wild boy, how can you compare with Your Majesty?" "Your Majesty is extremely brave, and 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. In addition to Luo Yi, there is another person in the hall who did not pat Lin Nan's ass, 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. While 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, when Liu Wenjing found that Luo Yi was not the same as 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 fluttering, and his face was full of red light. As he spoke, he took the lead in raising his glass and drank it all. Luo Yi and the others didn't dare to slack off, and they got up one after another. After everyone sat down again, Lin Nan continued: "You have worked hard these days, just drink heartily 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! Waiting for the maid to fill the wine, Lin Nan looked at Liu Wenjing gently, her eyes full of appreciation. (To be continued.) )
