In the middle of dawn, in the southwest sky, a sea of red had already appeared at this time, and the banners were unfurled for several miles. At a cursory glance, I am afraid that there are no less than 30,000 people. Although they are far away, they exude a cold and murderous aura, which is very fierce. And in the forefront, is a sky-high flag, the flag is embroidered with a big "Yang" character, iron painting silver hook, strong and powerful. When he saw this handsome flag, Jieli had no luck in his heart. Since the death of Yang Zhao, the king of Yan, the entire Great Sui, who can still have such a strong soldier, I am afraid that only Yang Yu, the king of Qi, who escaped from the capital and has been in the fiefdom, is left. Jieli is the Great Khan of the Turks, leading the most elite Turkic iron cavalry, who in the world can make him fearful? But Jieli, who had woken up from his anger, knew that with his own strength at this time, it would not be easy to defeat Yang Yu, the king of Qi. Even if the 160,000 Turkic army can defeat Yang Yu, the king of Qi, it will suffer extremely huge losses, and it will be impossible to break through the strong Xiao Pass. And lost most of the elite, Jieli's battle to the south could only be stopped. From this point of view, the confrontation with Yang Yu, the king of Qi, is meaningless. "The Turkic army is defeated, the Turkic army is defeated!" Just when Jieli weighed the pros and cons, the situation changed again, and there was a sudden shocking cheer on the north city of Xiaoguan. Jieli looked back in shock, and saw that the entire northern sky had turned red at some point. This situation and this situation, Jieli couldn't understand it better. Just now, he was worried that Lin Nan would set fire to the north, but now that worry has really come true, which makes Jieli's already heavy mood more and more solemn. "The rear formation becomes the front formation, shrinks the formation, retreats, retreats!" Despite his reluctance, he gave the difficult order. Although Jieli tried his best to close the formation and slowly retreated. But the Turkic army, which was already panicked and had lost its fighting spirit, could no longer resist the erosion of fear, and only cared about fleeing for their lives, where could they still take care of Jieli's orders. "Jieli, you will definitely die today, hahaha!" See the retreat of the Turkic army. Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh arrogantly, and the rolling sound accompanied by the faint morning light completely tore the night sky. Even though Jieli was eloquent and good at dancing with long sleeves, he was also lacking in skills at this time, and fled towards the west in embarrassment under the coercion of the Turkic army. Hearing Lin Nan's disdainful laughter, the anger and humiliation in Jieli's chest could no longer be suppressed, and he couldn't help opening his mouth, "wow" and spit out a mouthful of blood, and his body shook a few times. Almost planted on horseback. The defeat was like a mountain, and it was crushed for thousands of miles. The Turkic army retreated on all fronts, and how could Lin Nan give up the opportunity to beat the water dogs, he turned over and jumped on a war horse, and turned with a thousand cavalry rushing out of the city, shouting loudly while chasing after the horse. "The long-haired one is Jieli, Hugh is going to run away Jieli dog thief!" At this time. The 30,000-strong army led by Yang Yu, the king of Qi, finally arrived, and the well-trained Qi army was suddenly like a pack of wolves that saw their prey under the order of Yang Yu, the king of Qi. Crazy towards the Turkic army. Although there is still a big gap between the combat effectiveness of the Qi army and the Turkic army, at this time, the Turkic army is all just running for their lives, and how can they be the opponents of the Qi army when their morale is low. It was a massacre, a bloody massacre. Under the pursuit of Yang Yu, Lin Nan, Luo Cheng and others, the king of Qi. The Turkic army was panicked like a lost dog, crying for his father and mother, and the Turkic army continued to fall in a pool of blood and turn into flesh at the feet of the Sui army, but more Turkic troops surrendered on their knees in fear. Lin Nan chased after a hundred miles before everyone stopped. One is that the front is already close to Tongzhou, and he is afraid that the Turkic army will still have reinforcements, and the second is that the Qi army of Yang Yu, the king of Qi, is coming from afar, and he is tired and tired, and he can't have much effect in chasing down. Although he still let Jieli escape, Lin Nan did not have many regrets. Jieli's hundreds of thousands of troops went south, and now there are less than 100,000 people left to flee back in disarray, and they are already injured, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to attack for a while. It wasn't until he fled into Tongzhou that Jieli stopped at ease, and when he raised his eyes, there were less than 5,000 people around him, and they were all panting like cattle, throwing away their armor and being embarrassed. "Great Khan, we were defeated, it was all the stupidity of Wechen that caused the failure of this raid, and the loss of 100,000 troops, Wechen is willing to apologize with death, and I hope that the Great Khan will be fulfilled!" Tuoba Totar knelt on the ground, his face sad, and his whole person seemed to be ten times older at once. Jieli's face was gloomy, and he wanted to say something, but a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth, his body shook, and he suddenly fell off the horse's back, and fainted.

On the battlefield in full swing, in the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood. "Jieli, you are at the end of your rope, where are you going to escape, why don't you be caught quickly?" Lin Nan was covered in blood, his face was hideous, his scarlet eyes flashed with madness and bloodlust, and the steel knife in his hand exuded a chill that made people's hearts palpitate. "Don't you think about it, Ben Khan has not failed, Ben Khan will cut you with a thousand knives, break your corpse into thousands of pieces, and raze Xiao Guan to the ground!" Jieli panted like a cow, staring at Lin Nan a few meters away with his eyes, and his voice was extremely hoarse. At this time, the long sword in his hand had been curled, and the armor on his body was even cracked in many places, and the red blood stained the robe, which looked extremely miserable and embarrassed. However, Jieli's eyes were still full of rage, and he stared stubbornly and haughtily at the enemy opposite. "Die!" Lin Nan roared, and his body suddenly burst out, and the bright sword light instantly blinded Jieli. "Roar!" Jieli roared unwillingly, and the long sword in his hand swung forward with all his might. The thunderous shouts of killing suddenly disappeared, and the fierce wind disappeared without a trace. Jieli looked around blankly, only to find that he was already in a magnificent mausoleum at some point, and a solemn and sad aura instantly enveloped him. "Hayan Miluo ......" An old and hoarse voice came from behind him, Jieli was shocked, his real name has not been called for a long time, thinking of this, he hurriedly looked back, and saw an old man with white hair standing a few meters away, although he was dressed in a yellow robe, it was difficult to hide his nobility, but his face was withered and extremely weak. When he saw the old man's appearance, Jieli was full of excitement, and his mouth grew in disbelief, and he couldn't speak for a long time. "Hayan Miluo, you have disappointed your father Khan too much!" "Father Khan!!" Jieli called out excitedly, but the old man didn't look at him, and said with a heavy face: "The destruction of the Sui State and the domination of the world is my Hayan's lifelong wish, the accumulation of several generations of ancestors, but you have fallen short, and you have repeatedly failed in the hands of Huangkou Xiaoer, how do you have the face to see your ancestors?" "Father Khan, Weichen is incompetent!" Jieli fell to his knees, ashamed. "You go, never appear in front of me again, I don't want to see you!" The old man shook his head. The body slowly retreated, and the figure slowly dissipated. "Father Khan, don't go, don't go......" Jieli wanted to keep his hands in the depths, but the figure of the old man finally dissipated into the void. Just when Jieli was ashamed and angry, and the pain was unbearable. The scene in front of me changed again. It was an empty space, with no clear boundary between heaven and earth, and the surrounding area was gray, and the damp and cold air made people shiver, and the silence was so silent that there was not a single sound and living creatures made people fearful. At this moment, a sharp and piercing laughter suddenly echoed between heaven and earth, as unbearable as a night owl. "Jieli, my good brother, you have finally come down to accompany me. Haha "Someone, get out!" Jieli shouted angrily. "It's only been a few years, and you don't recognize him as a brother, do you?" A ghostly white shadow appeared in front of Jieli, his hair disheveled, and his scarlet tongue hanging long from his chin, in stark contrast to his pale complexion. Jieli was so shocked that he sat on the ground, and the cold air on his back spine was rising, and he couldn't help but tremble and said, "Place...... Place. Is it you, are you a human or a ghost? "I want to be human. It's a pity that you made me a ghost, and I'm still a resentful ghost! Chu Luo bared his teeth and smiled, and Nirvana was even more terrifying, "I have been looking forward to it day and night, and finally I hope that you will come down to accompany me, quack!" He said. Chu Luo suddenly stretched out his hands with black nails and slammed them towards Jieli's neck. Jieli wanted to dodge, but suddenly felt that his limbs were suddenly out of control, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he looked at the vicious Chuluo. "Ahh

……

Jieli opened his eyes leisurely. The blinding light made him quickly close his eyes again, and his sluggish and chaotic mind slowly cleared up. "Am I dead?" Jieli couldn't help but think back to what happened before he lost consciousness. Thinking of this, Jieli's eyes that had just closed immediately opened again, looked around, and shouted in a hurry and panic: "Chuluo, where are you?" "Great Khan, are you awake? The Great Khan has woken up, come on! In the confusion, there was a call of surprise in his ears, and then Jieli heard the sound of stray footsteps, and soon many familiar faces appeared in front of him. Great Khan, you're finally awake! This was the voice of Tuoba Totoer, at this time his face was extremely haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and the whole person looked much older and decadent, and he no longer had the original sofa bold and energetic appearance. Jieli shook his head slightly, trying to get up, only to find that he was lying on the bed, his body was sore, he could barely move, and his brain was even more groggy and unresponsive. "Zuo Khan ......" His voice was very dry and hoarse, and it was obvious that Jieli's body was extremely weak at this time. Great Khan, Minister! Tuoba said in a trembling voice, kneeling beside the bed, his cloudy eyes flashing with excitement and joy, and a glitter of water swelled in them, which made the bloodshot on his eyes fade a lot. Where is this? How many days was Ben Khan in a coma? Jieli asked weakly. From the expressions on the faces of the courtiers around him, Jie Li probably understood that he must have been in a coma for a long time, and the thrilling things before should have been nightmares. It's just that after sobering up, Jieli's mood became heavier and heavier. He was defeated, defeated at the hands of a junior, and he was so embarrassed that he had no face. "Great Khan, this is Tongzhou, and you have been in a coma for three days and three nights. Heaven forbid, Great Khan, you have finally woken up! "Tuoba's mood has calmed down a lot by this time, but it can still be seen from his face that he is obviously much more relaxed." Three days? So long? Jieli was stunned for a moment, muttered to himself, and then changed his words, and said with some eagerness: "Zuo Khan, what happened to Ben Khan after he fell into a coma that day, and what happened to Xiao Guan?" Hearing this, Tuoba Tuo couldn't help but fall silent, and the excitement and joy on the faces of the generals around him also subsided a lot, and became a little heavy and serious. Talking, what the hell is going on? Jieli's heart tightened, his breathing became more and more cramped and disordered, and a sickly blush suddenly appeared on his pale face, and he struggled to get up, but as soon as his body left the bed, he fell down heavily, and it was thanks to Tuoba Totoer's quick hand that he grabbed him, so that he did not suffer from the flesh and skin again. Sweaty, you have injuries on your body, don't be excited, lie down! Tuoba Totar looked at Jieli nervously and with concern, and waited for the latter's stiff body to relax, and his excited heart slowly calmed down before he continued: "Great Khan, yesterday Yang Yu, the lord of Sui, and his brother Yang Yu, the king of Sui, led an army of 400,000 troops to Tongzhou, and now they are camping twenty miles outside the city, and they have not launched an attack on the city for the time being!" After a pause, Tuoba Totar hurriedly continued: "The Right Khan has arranged all the defense work, and the materials in the city are sufficient, if the Sui people dare to commit a rash offense, they will definitely not be able to please them!" "Yang Yu!!" Jieli couldn't help but clench the futon. With a look of resentment and anger in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said. "160,000 troops, how many have returned?" Jieli still has a trace of luck in his heart. Tuoba Totar looked at Jieli, hesitated for a long time before hesitating and said, "Less than eight thousand." Jieli was shocked, his eyes widened, and his face was incredulous. 160,000 troops. The entire army of 160,000 was wiped out. For many years, for many years, the Turks have not suffered such a crushing defeat...... Jieli's heart was dripping blood, his heart twitched violently, and the huge pain made him tremble slightly, and his breathing became more and more difficult. Jieli was just about to speak, but suddenly coughed violently, his face suddenly turned red, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of "wow". "Great Khan ......," Tuoba Totar and the others exclaimed. The maid wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with all his hands and feet, and the medical officer who went out with the army immediately started to pulse the Jieli, and everyone was nervous, and their hearts had just been lowered and hung again. However, although a middle-aged man with a pale face standing behind everyone was also panicked and nervous, there was an inexplicable color flashing in his eyes, and everyone in the audience was focused on Jieli, and no one saw it. This man was the first Turkic warrior, Alan Jebe. Three days of cultivation made him recover a lot. For three days, he could not care about the pain in his body. has been waiting for Jieli with a cadre of civil and military forces on the side until the latter wakes up at this time. "The Khan's body is still very weak and needs to be rested, so it should not be disturbed." The medical officer carefully examined Jieli's body, and then said to everyone with a solemn expression. After saying that, the medical officer took a deep look at Tuoba Tuo and then got up and left first. Tuoba's expression moved. looked at Jieli with concern and said: "The Great Khan, Xiao Guan's defeat is all the fault of Weichen's improper command, Weichen is willing to accept any punishment from you, I only hope that Dahan you will be healthy as soon as possible!" "Whew......" Jieli closed his eyes. Waving his hand tiredly, he said slowly: "This matter will be discussed later, the top priority is to stick to Tongzhou, Zuo Khan, please!" The shame and self-blame on Tuoba Totoer's face became worse, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, he bowed to the end suddenly, and said categorically: "Great Khan, you can cultivate with peace of mind, and Weichen will not bother!" You can rest assured, but if Weichen still has a breath, he will never let the Sui people step into Tongzhou City! Jieli didn't speak, and his breathing became long and slower. Tuoba Totar stood up silently, instructed the maid to wait for Jieli, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to leave together. When Tuoba Totar returned to the courtyard where he temporarily lived in the original Thorn Mansion in Tongzhou, the medical officer who had previously treated Jieli was already waiting at the door, as he expected. Tuobatol and the medical officer looked at each other, and neither of them spoke, and walked into the house together. Tuoba Totar retreated from everyone, then closed the door, and asked in a low voice, "Doctor Wang, how is the health of the Great Khan?" "Jieli is the rise and fall of the Turks, and the lives of all people are dead, so Tuoba Totar cannot be allowed to be careless and cautious. Especially at this time, when the Turkic army is newly defeated and the morale of the army is fluctuating, any small change may cause great turmoil.

Doctor Wang shook his head gloomily, frowned, and said worriedly: "The Great Khan was originally angry and angry, and he suffered from the wind and cold, which caused his heart and lungs to be seriously injured and his body extremely weak. The most worrying thing is that the Great Khan has a knot, and if it cannot be resolved, it will be very difficult to fully recover. Now that the Sui army is pressing, I am only afraid of ......" Although Doctor Wang did not finish speaking, Tuoba Totar had already understood what he meant, and his face suddenly became extremely serious and solemn. He understands that it is not the body that is sick, but the heart. The defeat in the battle of Xiaoguan not only hit Jieli hard, but even Tuoba Totar was difficult to accept. In decades, Tuobator had never lost so badly, and the Turks' losses this time were unprecedentedly heavy. The 160,000 troops were buried on the land of the Sui State, and such a large loss was only exchanged for a small Tongzhou, which was very different from the expected goal. In this battle of Xiaoguan, Tuoba Totoer's command actually did not make much mistakes, and the real reason was actually his insufficient estimation and understanding of the enemy. The art of war is cloudy, and knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Tuoba Totar and Jieli originally thought that they knew Yang Yu well enough, but in fact, they still looked down on him, and at the same time looked down on Luo Yi and Yang Yu. "Doctor Wang, this statement came out of your mouth and into my ears, and you must not let a third person know!" Tuoba Totol looked at Doctor Wang with burning eyes, full of murderous aura, and said in a cold voice. "Zuo Khan rest assured, the lower officials will never dare to talk nonsense!" Doctor Wang trembled and replied in a panic that fine beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead in the November weather, and his face had turned pale. Seeing Doctor Wang's answer like this, Tuoba Totoer's face turned slightly pale, and his tone couldn't help but be much softer: "Doctor Wang, the body of the Great Khan has to worry a lot about you, what do you need, just mention it to the old man!" "The lower official understands, the lower official resigns!" Doctor Wang sincerely agreed, and immediately left. Seeing Doctor Wang leave, looking at the re-closed door, the momentum of Tuoba Totoer's body suddenly dissipated, and the whole person became vicissitudes and sadness, his eyes were confused and gloomy, and he muttered: "Could it be that this is the doom of my fate?" Is it the Turkic calamity? "No, even if you are crushed, you can keep Tongzhou safe." Tuoba's sloppy eyes suddenly became firm, his cloudy eyes radiated a dazzling essence, and his murderous aura was awe-inspiring, "Yang Yu, I want to see what else you can do!" ”…… Twenty miles outside the city of Tongzhou, the commander of the Sui army. "What's the news in Tongzhou?" Lin Nan stared at a volume of maps on the table, which was the map of the entire territory of Tongzhou, and the mountains, rivers, counties, and towns were all clearly marked. This map was secretly surveyed and mapped by Lin Nan, and it is far more detailed than the maps in circulation today. "Your Majesty, although Tuoba Totar tried his best to block the news, we have no way of knowing the situation of Jieli, but Weichen concludes that something must have happened to Jieli." After a pause, Luo Cheng said with a firm face: "There are abnormalities and demons, and Jieli did not preside over military affairs for three days, which has already explained everything." Lin Nan nodded, and asked again: "General Luo thinks that we have a chance of winning the attack on Tongzhou at this time?" "Your Majesty, Wei Chen doesn't think that this is the best time to attack!" Luo Cheng smiled and shook his head. "Oh?" Lin Nan turned his head and looked at Luo Cheng with an inquiring expression. Luo Cheng pursed his lips and smiled, and said with confidence: "Your Majesty, although it may be possible to win Tongzhou City with the advantage of our army, a fight will inevitably cause us huge losses, which is not a good thing." The current situation is reversed, and the initiative is in me, we only need to slowly exert pressure on Tongzhou, and we can let the Turkic army mess up and collapse without attacking!
