Under the gloomy sky, the cold north wind whistled by, and the city of Tongzhou, which stood in the northwest of the Great Sui, became more and more desolate and bleak, just like the mood of the 200,000 people in Tongzhou City at this time, panicked, depressed and irritable. Gao Dehong's death caused Tongzhou City to fall into the hands of the Turks, and then the Turks did not commit any crimes after entering the city, which surprised the people of Tongzhou very much. However, just when the people of Tongzhou wanted to slowly forget the memories that belonged to the Great Sui and bury them deeply, less than a month had passed, and the Great Sui actually swept away the decline and turned defeat into victory. The people of Tongzhou City couldn't help but fall into confusion and contradictions, hoping to look back on the embrace of the motherland, but also fearing that the war would bring them more serious disasters. Lin Nan's army watched on the side, which not only made the people in Tongzhou City restless, but also an extremely difficult torment for Tuli and Tuoba Totoer. Jieli was seriously ill, and the burden of Tongzhou fell on the shoulders of the two. However, in just a few days, the two of them seemed to have suddenly aged ten years, their straight backs were a little stiff, and their steps were not as capable and neat as before. "Zuo Khan, is the Great Khan's body better?" Tuli and Tuoba Totar stood side by side at the head of Tongzhou City, looking at the Sui army's camp for several miles from a distance, the wrinkles on their weather-beaten faces became more and more profound, and their tone was very low and dignified. Tuoba Tuo Tar sighed, shook his head slightly, his brows tightly twisted, and a thick cloud of sorrow shrouded his eyebrows. "How?" Tuli's eyes suddenly froze, and his expression became more and more solemn. These days, he has been busy with the defense work in Tongzhou, and he does not have a clear understanding of the situation in Jieli. Tuoba Totar first looked at the four Turks, and then lowered his voice and said: "The Great Khan is depressed, and he is infected with the wind and cold, and he only woke up yesterday, and he doesn't want to pass the night. He vomited and diarrhea again, and only then did he pass out again, and he looked even weaker. Although Tuli was prepared, he did not expect Jieli to be so sick. Jieli is in the prime of life, strong and healthy, and it is the time to make great progress. The reason why he is so weak is only because of Xiao Guan's failure and incomprehensible knots. "Zuo Khan, this matter must be handled carefully!" Tuli looked at Tuoba Tuo and whispered. Tuoba Totar nodded and said: "I have changed the guards outside the Great Khan's house, and passed on the order to go, the Great Khan needs to recuperate, and it is strictly forbidden for others to visit, I think I can hide it for a ......while, I think I can hide it for a while, Tuoba Totar was silent. He sighed again, his voice full of exhaustion and helplessness. Hearing this, the ravine of the years on Tuli's face deepened again, and a flash of hope flashed in his melancholy and anxious eyes, "I hope the Great Khan can recover soon, otherwise the time will drag on for a long time, not only will there be changes in Tongzhou, but the Turks may also ......" Turki did not have a famous saying. But Tuoba Totar could not understand what he meant. At this moment, their minds are not thinking more about how to hold on to Tongzhou. It's about minimizing losses as much as possible and not letting this failure cause too much turmoil. "Zuo Khan, although I am not afraid of the Sui Lord, and I am confident that Tongzhou will not be lost, but the Sui Lord is not easy to deal with after all, so I should make plans as soon as possible." There was a pause. Tuli continued: "The Great Khan has a golden body, and the people of the Turks must not have any mistakes, so in my opinion, we should send the Great Khan back to the Turks as soon as possible." One is that the Turks are far more than Tongzhou in terms of the number of medical officers and medicinal materials, which is very beneficial to the recovery of the Great Khan, and the other is that the Turks are quiet and safe, and they are more suitable for the Great Khan to recuperate. "What the right khan said is very true. Although Yang Yu has not taken action at present, I estimate that it will not be long before he will besiege Tongzhou, and then the situation is only afraid that it will be very serious, if you want to hold the lonely city of Tongzhou, it will be difficult, difficult, difficult! Tuoba Totar said three words "difficult" in a row, and it can be imagined that the difficulties faced by Tongzhou are huge. Jieli waved 300,000 troops to the Eastern Expedition to the Great Sui, and the loss in the hands of Lin Nan alone was 1400,000, plus the number of people lost in Tongzhou, a total loss of no less than 1780,000, and the remaining men and horses were also scattered in various states and counties, and Tongzhou now has less than 100,000 people who can be used. Lin Nan is now leading an army of 400,000 troops, and with a great victory, morale is like a rainbow, fighting spirit is like fire, and there is the support of the entire Great Sui Empire behind him, and the material supply is abundant, which is diametrically opposed to the Turkic army with low morale and lack of materials. Yesterday, a horse was supposed to be transported to Tongzhou City, but it is still missing today. Thinking of the cavalry under the command of Luo Cheng and Luo Yi's father and son, who came and went without a trace and killed like hemp, Tuoba Totar had already expected the final outcome of that batch of supplies. Moreover, Tuoba Totar can also conclude that every move in Tongzhou City must be under Lin Nan's surveillance, and it may not be easy for any news to be transmitted. "Right Khan, when the situation of the Great Khan improves tonight, you will lead someone to escort the Great Khan back to Beijing, and I will go all out to block the pursuing soldiers for you!" Quickly weighing the current situation in his mind, the gloom in Tuoba Totar's eyes suddenly retracted, and he returned to his previous commanding look, and said to Tuli solemnly. "Zuo Khan, don't say that, the task of blocking the enemy after the break should be handed over to me." Tuoba Totar was about to speak out against it, but Tuli stopped him with great solemnity and continued: "You are experienced and respected, and you can not only escort the Great Khan back to Beijing safely, but also subdue the Quartet when necessary. Tubal Totar looked at Turi closely, and the latter's eyes were equally burning, and they both saw the determination in each other's eyes, and understood what they meant. After a long time, Tuoba Totar shook it to the end, and said solemnly: "Okay, everything will be Lao Youhan!" "Zuo Khan rest assured!" Although it is only four words, Tuli is categorical and sonorous. As these four words were spit out, his stiff back straightened in an instant, and the decadent aura on his body suddenly dissipated. Tuoba Totar was about to speak, when a soldier suddenly came from behind him to report: "Zuo Khan, General Ashina asks to see!" "What?" Tuoba Totar and Tuli suddenly turned around, their faces surprised. "The leader of the Arhan tribe, General Ashnasmo, asks to see Zuo Khan!" The soldier still thought that Tuoba Totar didn't know who Ashina Simo was, so he said again. Tuobattar and Tuli looked at each other, and finally realized that they had heard correctly. Ashina Simo, the leader of the Arhan tribe, the second general under Chu Luo, and the name of the steppe Zhuge Sili Sui, no one knows the entire Turkic, no one knows. Some time ago, Ashina Simo suddenly disappeared without a trace, and there was no news, Tuoba Totar and others were puzzled, but they didn't want to come to Tongzhou City today, which is undoubtedly good news for Tongzhou City, which has been a bit bleak and depressed for several days. "Quick, take Ben Khan to meet him!" Tuobatul's heart was excited. I can't help but feel a little out of shape and lose my former steadyness. Tuoba Totar's deeds are like this, which is enough to show the important position of Ashina Simo in his heart. Soon, Tubatol and Tuli came down to the city and saw Ashnasmo, the leader of the Arhan tribe who had been waiting for a long time. At this time, Ashina Simo was ragged and unkempt. Wind and frost and vicissitudes, where is there that high-spirited, old and strong, scolding Fang Xuan's general momentum. If it weren't for the soldier who led the way and said that this person was Ashnasmo, Tuoba Totar and Tuli would not have dared to recognize him. "Left Khan, Right Khan, to see the two of you again, it's really a sight in the sky, treat me well!" See the appearance of Tubatol and Tuli. Ashina Simo suddenly rushed forward excitedly, with tears in his eyes, and said with emotion. "General Ashina, what happened to make you so depressed and miserable?" Tuoba Tuo Tuor grabbed Ashnasmo's arm and asked with a surprised expression. "Alas, it's hard to say, it's hard to say!" Ashina Simo looked bitter and sad. Shaking his head and sighing. Tuli said: "Zuo Khan, General Ashina has been working hard all the way. Why don't we ask him to freshen up first, and at the same time, we can discuss the countermeasures against the Sui Lord together! "It's fine!" ……

"I see." For a whole hour, until Tuoba Totar and Tuli listened to Ashnashimo's words, they couldn't help but stand up.

It turned out that the reason why the second general of the grassland disappeared was that he was arrested by Jieli, and he almost lost his life. It was a desperate attempt to escape.

Knowing that Jieli wanted to kill himself, Ashina Simo still came to Tongzhou, which made Tuli and Tuoba Totol even more admired.

"Left Khan, Right Khan, you have this idea. Then let Ashnasimo escort the Great Khan out of the city. ”

"General Ashina......" The two of them looked at Ashina Simo in shock at the same time.

"Left Khan, Right Khan, don't worry, Ashina Simo will never be the enemy of the Great Khan, even if he dies this time, he will protect the whole Khan Turk!"

"Zuo Khan, since General Ashina said so, I thought that we should send the Great Khan to the Turks as soon as possible, I'm afraid that there will be changes later!" Tuli said solemnly, this was the second time he had made this suggestion to Tubatotl. As a general who has been a general for most of his life, everyone's life and death have long been put aside, but he can't let Jieli have any accidents in Tongzhou, otherwise not only himself, but even the entire tribe will become Turkic sinners, and there will be no place for him from now on. "What the right khan said is very true." Tuoba Totar nodded and said: "In this way, you and I will go to the city inspection school to drill the soldiers and horses in a while, attract the attention of the Sui army, and then select five thousand elite warriors led by General Ashina Simo to escort the Great Khan to sneak out of the city, try to take the small road, and don't arouse the Sui army's ideas." After a pause, Tuoba Totar said: "At the same time, let all the cavalry in the city concentrate on standby, once the Sui army makes any changes, we will take the initiative to attack, and we will send the Great Khan out of the city safely no matter what!" Do you have any doubts? "Although Tuoba Totar is an inquiry, both his tone and his demeanor are decisive and crisp, and there is no doubt about it." Everything is as Zuo Khan commands! Tuli and Ashina Simo glanced at each other, got up at the same time, and saluted respectfully, which can be regarded as solemnly receiving the military order. At present, the situation is in crisis, Jieli is unconscious, unable to preside over government affairs, Tuoba Totar is more than two of them in terms of status and prestige, and it is best for him to preside over the overall situation. "In that case, let's hurry up and get ready, and let's get started after dinner! It's up to the two of you! Tuoba Totar solemnly returned the salute with his fists clenched and said earnestly. ...... "I heard that General Ashnasmo, the leader of the Arkhan division of the Turkic army, suddenly came, but he was alone, as if he was still in rags, and I don't know what happened. "Not only that, our Great Sui Emperor is said to be the incarnation of the god of war, a few days ago, he flew through dozens of battles from the city, and killed thousands of soldiers of the Turkic army by himself, and even the Turkic Emperor Jieli was almost captured by him." "You're not right, I've heard people say that it's because the prince of the Turkic State wants to usurp the throne, and colludes with the Turks and Tuoba Totar to collude with foreign enemies, and deliberately let the Turkic Khan fall for the enemy's tricks. "The Turkic Great Khan Jieli has not appeared for several days, I am afraid that the injury is not light, and he may have already died, but it is very possible that the Turkic general will not mourn." "Our emperor personally led an army of 400,000 to attack Tongzhou, even if Jieli is still alive, I am afraid that he will not be able to avoid defeat." "The Turkic army has been defeated, and the banner on this Tongzhou city will change again!" …… From the time Ashina Simo stepped into Tongzhou City, in just three hours, rumors were spreading in the city, and they were intensifying. Tuoba Totar, Ashnasmo, and Tuli reunited. The faces of the three of them were extremely gloomy, their eyes were full of anger, and the muscles in the corners of Tuoba Totoer's eyes twitched slightly, and he forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "Have you found out, who is deliberately spreading rumors and deliberately causing trouble?" Turri shook his head. Helplessly and a little frantically said: "These rumors are spread from all over the city, and the source cannot be found at all. I've sent someone to control a group of people who spread rumors, but I can't arrest everyone in the city. "Damn it!" Although he knew that it was a vain question for Lu Dao to ask, but when Tuli said this fact, Tuoba Totar still couldn't help but be annoyed, and gritted his teeth and said: "The mouth of the people is worse than the mouth of the people, Yang Yu, what a poisonous scheming!" "According to the intelligence of the three of them, how can they not understand that this rumor is that Lin Nan is looking for someone to take a walk. The purpose is nothing more than to shake the morale of the Turkic army, to demoralize them, and to make them chaotic and Tongzhou to break itself. The highest level of falsehood is seven points of truth and three points of falsehood. If Jieli can come forward intact, the turbulent military spirit will inevitably be calmed down in an instant, and all rumors will be self-defeating, but the problem is that Jieli is indeed seriously ill. Unconscious. Tuobator wanted to suppress it with iron and blood, but he didn't dare. Tongzhou is a newcomer to the Turkic army. The people's hearts do not return, once Tuoba Totoer's behavior is excessive, it will inevitably cause a violent backlash from the people, and when the time comes, the city will be chaotic, Lin Nan will take advantage of the situation to attack, and Tongzhou will undoubtedly be broken.

"Left Khan. Can this ploy really be hidden from Lin Nan? "In the Tongzhou City Assassin Mansion, Ashina Simo frowned deeply and asked very worriedly. Now the city is full of wind and rain, rumors are getting stronger and stronger, and the food and grass materials in the city can't last much time. The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable the situation becomes. Rather than sit back and wait, it is better to break out of the city and abandon the city, so that we can preserve our strength as much as possible. Tuoba Totol looked gloomy, and he was helpless about the current predicament. It is true that Tuoba Totar can use strong means to control rumors and collect grain and grass from the people in the city, but this can only quench the thirst of drinking water, not only will it not help, but it may also make Tongzhou City break faster, and his own losses will be even heavier. Now that Lin Nan has not besieged the city, if the Turkic army abandons the city and retreats without a fight, it will be discredited, but the loss will be minimized, and the most important thing is that Jieli can be returned to the Turks safely. Even if the 400,000 troops in Tongzhou City were wiped out, they would not be able to make the slightest difference in Jieli, which was the supreme prerequisite for Tuoba Totar to make any decision. Tu Li nodded heavily, and said with a solemn expression, "What Zuo Khan said is very true, and I think so." As the right Khan of the Turks, I am willing to stay as the queen of the two generals, and I hope that the two can send the Great Khan to the Turks safely! "No!" Before Tuli's words fell, Tuoba Totar categorically vetoed it, frowning and said: "Yesterday I promised in front of the Great Khan that the city is in the people, the city is ruined, and the people are dead, and the task of blocking the enemy after this break should be undertaken by me!" "Zuo Khan's words are wrong, this time, that time. The cunning of the Sui people exceeded our expectations, and Tongzhou was undoubtedly defeated. Zuo Khan is the deputy marshal of the three armies, and now that the Great Khan is unconscious, you must consider the lives of the 100,000 soldiers in the city, and you must not be rash! Tuli resolutely looked at Tuoba Tuo and said in a deep voice. Tuoba Totar shook his head resolutely and said: "If you don't believe in it, you can't stand up, just because I am the deputy marshal of the three armies, I have to think about my own words, otherwise how can I be the army?" Now that our army is panicked and their morale is low, my staying behind can greatly boost their morale, and we have a better chance of winning when we break out of the Sui army's resistance! "This ......" Tuli was about to refute, but a guard outside the house suddenly came to report: "Left Khan, the Great Khan has a will, asking you and the Right Khan to go to face the saint quickly!" The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then they looked at each other, and their eyes suddenly burst into excitement and excitement. At this moment when the storm is coming, it is obviously a good thing for Jieli to wake up. "Let's go!" As he spoke, Tuoba Totole rushed out of the group first, and rushed towards the courtyard where Jieli was cultivating. Tuli and Ashina Simo did not slack off, and they all quickened their pace and followed behind Tuoba Totoer. ...... "Wechen Tuoba Totor, Ashnasmo, Tuli, see the Great Khan, may the Great Khan be safe and healthy as soon as possible!" Although he was prepared in his heart, when Ashina Simo saw Jieli lying and putting it on, he was still a little shocked in his heart. The originally tall and mighty emperor has aged a lot in just a few days, his cheekbones are high, and his face is covered with a layer of blue and gray. The charcoal basin in the room burned red, but Jieli was covered with two thick quilts. "Get up?" Hearing the sound, Jieli opened his tired eyes, his originally bright eyes were a little gray at this time, and with a faint death, his voice was even weaker, no longer as majestic and heavy as before. "Ashina Simo. You...... Are you still alive......" At this time, Jieli discovered the existence of Ashina Simo, his dim eyes lit up suddenly, and he said with some surprise. Just under the excitement, Jieli couldn't help but be a little short of breath and coughed lightly. Ashina Simo fell to his knees with a "poof" and said in shame: "Great Khan." The criminal minister Ashina Simo fled privately, hoping that the Great Khan would give him sin! "I am defeated, the Turks are defeated!" Jieli shook his head slightly, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Forget it, don't talk about it, everything will wait until you return to the Turks!" "Great Khan!" The three of them were shocked and looked at Jieli in surprise. "I know it. Tongzhou is difficult to preserve, withdraw the troops! Jieli gasped a few times and rested a little before he spoke again: "Zuo Khan, everything is up to you, don't let too many Turkic warriors bury their bones in other places!" Jieli's voice was full of gloom and twilight, but it was extremely vibrating in the ears of the three of them. The three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the worry and uneasiness in each other's eyes. "The Great Khan is relieved. The minister must do his best! Tuoba Totar agreed, and then bowed and retired with Tuli and Ashnasimo. …… The winter sun always can't wait to set in the western mountains. Very stingy with its warmth and light, the time was still early, the sky darkened, the north wind seemed to be more and more cold, the cold air raged on the earth, and the insolent cries spread throughout the four fields. However, in the Sui army camp outside Tongzhou City. The guards of the guard tower were as straight as a pine, not moving at all, allowing the cold wind to forge the dark and thin cheeks more and more resolute and fierce. In the center of the camp, hundreds of large iron pots burned red under the blazing licking. And in the pot is the boiling broth, the aroma of the meat and the smoke are blown away by the cold wind, and it is spread far away, but the soldiers in the camp are solemn and forgetful, and they don't seem to be attracted by the rich aroma of meat at all. When the command to "open the meal" was given, the soldiers in training did not disperse in a hurry, and their nervous and serious expressions did not relax for a moment. Their every move was very strict and standard, and the barracks, which stretched for several miles, were unexpectedly orderly and not a little chaotic. The food of Lin Nan's army is undoubtedly the best in this world, in this chaotic era, it is already a kind of happiness to be able to fill your stomach, not to mention being able to open meat, and you can eat meat and drink soup in a big bowl every three or five times. Regarding this point, the generals originally did not agree with Lin Nan's almost ruined approach. Although Zhilu said that he cherished his soldiers, after all, the Great Sui did not have much money to support the army. If you don't eat meat, you don't have the strength, let alone a soldier who licks blood from the knife. They worked hard for me, and I should do everything I could to make their lives better. Warriors can endure cruel conditions, endure loneliness, and even disregard for their own lives, but this is because they must do so to protect the people or things they cherish. Lin Nan has a deep understanding of these, so the soldiers under his command are several times higher than other places in terms of treatment and status, or even dozens of times. ...... "Woo ......" assembly horn sounded, all the soldiers stopped their movements and assembled in front of the school yard as quickly as possible. There are 10,000 people, boundless, when 400,000 fierce warriors stand in front of him, the evil aura of the sky is rushing to the face, Rao is Lin Nan kills people like hemp, after life and death, he can't help but sigh in his heart for his insignificance. "Brothers have worked hard!" With a warm smile on his face, Lin Nan said loudly, Qing Yue's voice penetrated the cold wind and clearly entered the ears of every soldier. "Defend the family and the country, never give up!" Everyone roared angrily, the rolling sound shook the sky, fierce and uncasting, and the domineering momentum seemed to make the cold wind tremble, and there was a momentary pause. When everyone cheered down, the smile on Lin Nan's face was closed, his face suddenly became extremely serious, and he glanced at everyone majestically, and Lin Nan said: "Brothers, we have been in Tongzhou for three days, and the boring waiting must have made you impatient, eager for the arrival of war and the rescue of Tongzhou in the hands of the Turks." After a pause, Lin Nan's eyes suddenly shot out of a clear light, and he shouted loudly: "Tonight, the big battle is approaching, and the opportunity to regain the lost territory will come, tell me, are your spirits sufficient?" "Yes!" "Have your steel knives been polished?!" "Yes......" "Victory!" Win!! Win!!! The blood in the body of the 400,000 army boiled in an instant, and the tidal shouts were like a landslide and tsunami, which made the heavens and the earth change color and the earth shook. Everyone's eyes were covered with a faint layer of blood, and the fierce and murderous momentum on their bodies soared upward, condensing into a towering mountain of nothingness. Heavy and oppressive, it is awe-inspiring. Looking at the 400,000 soldiers in the audience who were excited and murderous, Lin Nan's heart was shocked and happy, and at the same time, there was also a wave of pride and ambition in his heart to rebuke Fang Xuan and dominate the world. The blood all over his body also boiled, and the high battle intent and murderous aura fused and dispersed, making him look more and more majestic and domineering, like a domineering god of war. A good man is determined in all directions, and the husband should ride the horse and raise the sword, gallop the world, even if he dies on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud is not in vain. Although Lin Nan hated killing from the bottom of his heart, his blood belonging to the brave was destined for him to stand on the cusp of the storm for the rest of his life. Keep fighting in the sky, surpassing the limit, life is endless, and struggle is endless. After everyone's shouts stopped, Lin Nan laughed loudly: "All brothers are good, they are indeed the best warriors in the empire, and they are real heroes. You are here, no matter how strong the enemy is. We too can fight and protect our homeland and loved ones from bullying! "Speaking of which. The smile on Lin Nan's face completely disappeared, and he became more pious and solemn than ever, and said in a low but resolute voice: "I, Yang Yu, Emperor of the Great Sui, am willing to defend the country with all of you, and swear to die!" "Defend the country and the country. Swear to the death! "Live and die together, live and die together!" The 400,000 Sui troops exploded like a lit powder keg, but what exploded was their passion and blood, killing intent and fighting spirit. Everyone screamed as hard as they could. Expressing the fiery emotions and high fighting spirit in their chests to their generals.

The soldier dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases herself. Nalan Xue stood in the corner, looking at the high-spirited general on the high platform from a distance, and her eyes couldn't help but be stunned. Heroes are sad to pass the beauty level, why don't beauties love heroes? At this moment, she really understood why the men were always so aggressive and never tired of it, and finally understood why the Sui army was able to turn defeat into victory and expel the Turks. Many of Lin Nan's thoughts are always a little whimsical in the eyes of many people, and his behavior is even more deviant, but it is also his difference from all living beings that has conquered thousands of warriors and brave generals, so that delicate and delicate women are willing to throw themselves into his arms. After the oath was completed, Lin Nan was about to choose a horse, but he saw Nalan Xue in military uniform walking towards her, and it seemed that she had been waiting here for a long time. Nalan Xue has a resolute and resolute temperament, and now she is wearing a military uniform, and she is a little more sassy and heroic, and her charm is infinite. It's just that at this time, the beautiful woman frowned lightly, her expression was in a trance, and the smile she showed when she saw Lin Nan was very reluctant. "Cher, are you feeling unwell?" Lin Nan took a step forward, gently held Nalan Xue's soft wattle, and asked with concern. Nalan Xue shook her head slightly, looked at Lin Nan and stopped, and finally spoke after hesitating for a moment: "Your Majesty, may you return victorious." ”

"Good!" Lin Nan nodded heavily and turned away.

…… Tongzhou City, in the chamber of the Assassin's Palace. The important Turkic generals sat in turn, and even Alan Jebe, who had just recovered a little, was among them. Although Alan Zhebe did not achieve a gratifying and eye-catching record in this war, he stepped forward in danger to help Jieli escape from the enemy, but he also won Jieli's greatest trust. "Ladies and gentlemen, I think everyone has heard a little about the situation of the Great Khan these days." Topher sat at the top of the line, glancing majestically at the group, his voice flat and low, his deep eyes as if he could see everything. Everyone's hearts suddenly tightened, their expressions became more and more serious, and even their breathing was deliberately suppressed very slightly and slowly. It is true that they have made a lot of speculations about Jieli these days, especially the rumors that are spreading today, which make their thinking extremely confused, but now they dare not express any opinion on this matter. "The rumors are true, the Great Khan is indeed in good health!" As soon as Tuoba Totar said this, except for the few people who knew about it, everyone else widened their eyes and looked incredulous, and their mouths were wide open as if they wanted to say something, but they didn't know how to speak. The changes of everyone were all in full view, but his face was still calm and calm, and he said majestically: "The reason why the Great Khan is seriously ill is not because of the defeat in the Battle of Xiaoguan, nor because of the rumors of the rats in the city, but the poisonous arrow of Yang Yu's thief in his body. After a few days of careful recuperation, the Great Khan recovered a lot, but his body was still very weak, and his wounds could not see the wind, so he could not personally deploy military orders. Although there were still some doubts in their hearts, most of the people still believed it. After all, Jieli is their master, and no one wants him to have any problems, so that his glory and wealth, and even his net worth, will have problems. Seeing that everyone's mood was obviously a little soothing. Tuoba Totar couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Changing into an angry and hateful look, Tuoba Totoer's eyes were full of murderous aura, and he said viciously: "Yang Yu is extremely rampant and aggressive, first injured the body of the Great Khan Wanjin, and now Chen Bing is outside the city of Tongzhou. He threatened to annihilate all of my 100,000 troops here. After a pause, Tuoba Totoer's face was distorted, and he said indignantly: "Generals, as a Turkic humerus, can you tolerate the villain's ambition and wantonly trample on my Turkic majesty?" "Could it be that there is no warrior in my Turks, allowing Huangkou Xiaoer to run rampant?" "Zuo Khan, the last general is willing to lead three thousand armor soldiers to fetch Yang Yu's dog head and sacrifice to the Great Khan!" "The last general is willing to go, and the Sui people have no return!" The generals were immediately inexplicably indignant. The more irritable ones even stepped forward on the spot and shouted for battle. The purpose of Tuoba Totoer's fierce rhetoric and instigation of the hostility of the people was to divert their attention from the fact that Jieli was seriously ill, and also to make the morale of the people rise to high morale. Tuobatol allowed the turmoil below to continue for a while before he spoke again, earnest and sincere. "Ladies and gentlemen, I know your loyalty to the Turks. I also know that you are eager to serve the country and kill the enemy, but the Great Khan was generous and merciful, and considering that the soldiers had been on the expedition for a long time and were homesick, he decided to withdraw his troops and return to the west. Everyone was moved in their hearts and said one after another: "Zuo Khan." It is a supreme honor for my husband to die on the battlefield, and I am strong and full of spirit, and I can fight again! "Zuo Khan, we are now less powerful than the Sui army. But our army has Tongzhou as its backing, even if Lin Nan's 400,000 troops come to attack, why should we be afraid? "Why don't you rush out of the city and fight with the Sui army, but you have to see how rampant Yang Yu is!" ...... "Morale is available, morale is available!" Successfully provoked the general's fighting spirit and anger, Tuoba Totar was very happy in his heart, but his face was still very serious, and he said in a deep voice: "You are all my Turkic warriors, and your feelings are also very understandable, but the holy order cannot be violated. The Great Khan has passed down his decree, and tonight, the whole army will march out, abandon the city and return to the country! "Everyone still wanted to question it, but seeing the unquestionable look on Tuoba Totar's face, they had to obey the holy order, but everyone was holding back a surging anger in their hearts." Zuo Khan, the last general has something to say! At that moment, Alain Jebel suddenly stepped out, looking at Tuoba Tuo Tar with burning eyes. General Alain has something to say, although he says it clearly! Tuoba Tuo Tar raised his eyebrows and said in a gentle tone. Although Hanyan Tuoba had also heard of Alain Zhe's disobedient remarks about Tuoba Totoer, the fact that he stepped forward some time ago and helped Jieli escape regardless of his own life and death still made Tuoba Totar's senses feel a lot better for him. "Zuo Khan, the last general guessed that the rumors in the city today must have been deliberately spread by the Sui people, with the purpose of disturbing the morale of our army and making us chaotic, so that they would take the opportunity to attack the city." Tuoba Totar nodded indifferently, looked at Alain Jebe seriously, and motioned for the latter to continue. "Zuo Khan, the Sui army is watching on the side, you must be extremely careful in this retreat, and you must not fall for the enemy's tricks again!" Alain Jebel stared directly at Tuoba Tuo Tar. "General Alain, what are the sides, you might as well say that it will come out." "Ming repairs the plank road, and secretly crosses Chen Cang."

Looking at Alain Zhebe's determined and confident appearance, Tuoba Totar's eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced at Tuli and Ashina Simo on his side, and they both saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes. Although he was surprised that Alan Jebe's words were to the point, Tuoba Totar was silent, looked at Alan Jebe indifferently, and continued to ask: "General Alan has a clever plan, so he might as well explain it in detail. "Zuo Khan, although we must withdraw our troops and return to the west in accordance with the will of the Great Khan, but to withdraw like this will not only damage the majesty of our Turks, but also will hit the morale of the whole army, if the enemy tries his best to pursue, it will be very bad for our army." After a pause, Alan Zhebei continued: "Since the Sui army hopes that our army will collapse without attacking and abandon the city, then why don't we plan and calculate, even if we withdraw our troops and return to the west, we will not let the Sui army have a good time." "During the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Kongming once set up an empty city plan to scare Sima Yi away, now why don't we follow suit and put up a fake empty city plan, which can not only ensure the safe evacuation of most of our army from Tongzhou, but also take the opportunity to send the Great Khan away safely?" "Zuo Khan, our army can evacuate at night, let more than 20,000 people raise torches, pretend to panic, and quickly retreat westward to confuse the enemy, and then hide 15,000 elites to ambush on the side, as long as Lin Nan dares to pursue, our army can give them a head-on attack. In the meantime, you can order 5,000 elite men to take advantage of the chaos to escort the Great Khan back to the Turks by the trail. Speaking of this, looking at Tuoba Totar nodding again and again, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, Alan Zhebe's eyes suddenly became fiery and firm, and he said earnestly: "Zuo Khan, the last general is not talented." I am willing to lead 10,000 soldiers to stay in Tongzhou, do everything possible to stop the Sui army, and ensure that the army can return to the west safely! "Brilliant plan, really good idea!" "Hey, as long as Lin Nan'er dares to come, I will tell him to come and go!" After listening to Alain Jebe's plan. Tuoba Totoer, Tuli, and Ashina Simo were silent, frowning and thinking, but many of the generals below whispered, their eyes full of excitement. For the loss to Lin Nan, most of the people in the Northern Turkic army were not satisfied, and they were provoked by Tuoba Totar with anger and hatred in their hearts, and their fighting spirit was high. I can't wait to fight with Lin Nan on the spot and compete. Now, according to Alan Zhebe's strategy, they are likely to give the "proud and arrogant" Sui army a head start, save the face lost in the past few days, and even take the opportunity to send Jieli back to the Turks safely, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Ming is a counterattack against Lin Nan. Darkness is to ensure the safety of Jieli. Listening to the irrepressible below, whispering in surprise. Tuoba Totar couldn't help but applaud Alain Zhebe's plan in his heart. Although his original plan was to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chencang, when it came to planning, it was far less detailed and effective than Alan Zhebe. If the Sui army is really deceived, the Turkic army will not only be able to restore its dignity, but it is more likely to turn defeat into victory. It is by no means impossible to retake Xiao Pass. Tuoba Totar stared at Alain Jebe closely, looking at the latter's hot and determined eyes, and couldn't help but have doubts in his heart about Hanyan Tuoba's former words. How could a man who was intent on rebelling against the usurper be so heartfelt and took the initiative to undertake the most dangerous tasks several times, risking his own life? Will he be able to make sure he's safe? The idea just came to mind. Tuoba Tuo Tuo shook his head and expelled it. If Alan Jebe can really be sure that he is safe, unless he colludes with the Sui army and Lin Nan. But if this is the case, why does he risk his life every time, always take the safety of the Turks as his own responsibility, and disregard the toil and life and death? After thinking for a moment, Tuoba Totoer's eyes couldn't help but warm a little, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "General Alain, your injuries have not healed yet, and I am afraid that you will not be able to do it if you stay to stop the enemy!" "Zuo Khan, blocking the enemy is already a life of death, since Alan Zhebei is in poor health, he naturally can't drag down the army anymore, and it's best to stay and block the enemy." After a pause, Alan Zhebe's eyes suddenly brightened a little, and he raised his head and said: "Now that I am in trouble, the Great Khan is seriously ill, and the last general should stand up as a minister to share the worries and solve the problems of the Great Khan, even if he dies in a foreign land, it is just to prove his innocence and not to shame his ancestors!" What Alain Zhe said was categorical, solemn and loud, coupled with his impassioned appearance, which instantly made everyone change their impression of him and admire him very much. Most of the people present were martial artists, and they naturally had a strong and heroic temperament in their bones, and they had a greater sense of identification with Alan Zhebe's approach, and even the eyes of the three of them were full of brilliance, and they were impressed by it. "General Alain, don't be excited, you can see your heartfelt intentions, and you won't believe in slander." After a pause, Tuoba Totar changed his words and said hesitantly: "It's just that your body is really not suitable for staying in Tongzhou City!" Tuoba Totoer's voice fell, and Alain Zhe immediately denied without thinking about it: "Zuo Khan, the last general is willing to wash away the shame of our army with my blood, prove my innocence, and hope that Zuo Khan will be fulfilled!" As he spoke, Alain fell to the ground with sincerity and respect. This—" Seeing Alain Jebel so insisting, Tuoba Tuo Tuo couldn't help but be embarrassed. In the past few days, the Northern Turks have lost too many excellent generals, Alan Zhebei is young and promising, Wen Taowu is extraordinary, Tuoba Tuo Tuo really can't bear to watch him die in Tongzhou. "I still hope that Zuo Khan will be fulfilled, and Alan Zhe will not die without regrets!" Alain Jebel bowed in a deep voice again. Tuoba Totar glanced at Ashina Simo, Tu Li, and finally sighed helplessly: "General Alan, you get up, Ben Khan allows you to stay in Tongzhou and ambush the Sui army, but you have to agree to Ben Khan's one condition!" "Zuo Khan, please speak, the last general will be absolutely obedient!" There was a look of surprise in Alan Jebe's eyes, and to outsiders it seemed that his sincerity was admirable, but his approach was really a bit stupid. However, Alan Jebe knew that he had successfully won the recognition of the three important veterans in the Northern Turks, Tuoba Totar, Tuli, and Ashnasmo, which was an important weight for his career. "Alan Jebe, as long as the army successfully retreats, you will evacuate Tongzhou City as soon as possible. Ben Khan hopes that you will bring home as many Turkic warriors as possible who remained in Tongzhou, so that no more tragedies can occur. Tuoba Totol took a deep breath, and a touch of sadness flashed on his vicissitudes of life.

Hundreds of thousands of compatriots stayed in a foreign land like this, not knowing their life and death, which made Tuoba Totoer, as the commander-in-chief, feel extremely guilty. Whenever he faced the confused and frightened eyes of the soldiers in the city, his heart twitched unconsciously, and he was often awakened by nightmares at night. "The last general must remember Zuo Khan's instructions!" Alain replied quickly. …… Outside the city of Tongzhou, the Sui army camp. Lin Nan walked slowly from the stable to the school yard, holding a blood-red war horse in his hand. This war horse is from the Khitan tribe, it is an extremely rare sweat and blood horse, strong and healthy, it was originally the mount of Nalan Snow Father Khan, but now it is handed over to Lin Nan for use. Only a person like Lin Nan, who is as powerful as the god of war, can really exert the ability of such a thousand-in-a-thousand war horse. Next to Lin Nan, Nalan Xue was dressed in military uniform, standing next to a gentle black horse, and her heroic appearance was very moving. When Lin Nan came to the school grounds, the 400,000 troops had already been assembled and were ready to go. Under the mobilization of Lin Nancai, everyone was like being beaten with chicken blood, under the fire flashing with the wind, their faces were flushed, their eyes were hot and bloodthirsty, their bodies seemed to be boiling, and their strength was full of energy, and they did not vomit or feel unhappy. These 400,000 Sui troops were already the elite of the war, and now the Sui gathered together, the fierce and wild aura fused with the cold murderous aura, and then condensed with the high battle intent, the momentum was overwhelming, and the wind and clouds dispersed throughout the school field, making the light emitted by the swaying torches much weaker, and the dim sky became more gloomy and depressing. Lin Nan walked up to the platform and was about to speak, but suddenly a scout came to report: "Your Majesty, the Turkic army has been divided into three divisions half an hour ago, and they have withdrawn from Tongzhou from the west gate, north gate, and south gate of Tongzhou City. "Oh?" Lin Nan raised his eyebrows and asked, "How many people are there in the retreating Turkic army?" "It was too dark, and the humble duty was not real, judging from the number of torches, there should be seventy or eighty thousand people, and the city gates were wide open, and many of the materials and baggage were abandoned, and the enemy was always too anxious to retreat and not to transport them away." "Okay, I've got it!" Lin Nan waved his hand and motioned for the scouts to go down, and he turned to the army that was already a little ready to move, his eyes were full of majesty, and he said in a low tone: "Brothers, the Turkic army is already afraid, and does not dare to fight our army head-on, and intends to abandon the city, this is a good time for our army to counterattack!" "Your Majesty, since this is the case, what are you waiting for, you quickly give an order, let me Gao Dechang lead the army to chase the generals out of the army, so as to wipe out the remnants of the Turkic army!" If you can capture the thief, you can also avenge my brother! "Dechang, don't be impatient." For Gao Dechang's impatience, Lin Nan also has relatives, although Gao Dehong is good at slapping horses, but he has been loyal to himself all these years, and now he is dead at the hands of the Turks, not only Gao Dechang, even Lin Nan also wants to avenge him.
