As the sun is about to set, the sky is dyed red by the brilliant sunset! The two armies tacitly retreated, and the camp of the Sui and Turk coalition forces and the camp of Jieli Khan were thirty miles apart.

Jieli Khan stood on a high place with a group of subordinates to carefully inspect the Sui army camp, he received a report from the scout, among the 130,000 troops in front of him, the Sui army was only 20,000, and the rest were all some miscellaneous miscellaneous soldiers, Anassimo's so-called 60,000 main force He didn't take it to heart, a group of people who came to be plundered from thousands of tribes got together, what combat power could they have?

The last time he won the trick, he also fought an equal, as long as he didn't make mistakes again, his 180,000 warriors from various departments would definitely be able to wipe out these people in one fell swoop. The real combat power may only be the 20,000 Sui army, but the Sui people have always liked to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, how can they really help Ashina Simon's idiot?

As for the main force of the Sui army led by Yang Tong has been dragged by the Western Turks in the southern part of the Jinshan Mountain Range, and it is simply unable to support the battle of this miscellaneous army in front of him, Jieli Khan squinted his eyes and smiled proudly, he felt that he had caught a big fish.

The decisive battle should be tomorrow, and his 180,000-strong army will crush the miscellaneous army in front of him in one fell swoop the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Jieli Khan's eyes were farther south, and he knew in his heart that this battle must be won, not because he was difficult to ride a tiger, but more importantly, because the Turks were becoming more and more unstable.

He was not prestigious, and when he ascended the throne, Yang Tong went deep into the grassland and slapped him hard, making his Xuanhe's military strength a laughing stock. When he went south, he returned from a fiasco in this Wild Horse River, and this series of bad events made it difficult for his prestige to recover to this day. The signs of self-reliance of the three tribes led by Tiele Qi Bi He Li are becoming more and more obvious, although Xue Yantuo Yi lost the bowl is the father of Kedun, but this person is a duplicitous villain, and each other tribe only cares about its own interests, if there is no brilliant record to establish its supreme authority, then it is inevitable that the Turks will split again.

Now many people are clamoring to enter the Sui Dynasty, and he is also shouting this slogan, but in fact, Jieli Khan knows very well that the new Great Wall is not something he can break at present, and the well-defended Sui army even wishes that they would attack the Great Wall, and then annihilate them at the foot of the Great Wall like the Battle of Mayi.

The result of the battle of Mayi was too profound, and it was also a lesson from this fiasco, so that Jieli Khan was absolutely unwilling to give up his cavalry superiority and ran to fight a siege battle with the Sui army. First, the Turks are so weak that they don't have this strength; The second is that the Western Turks are looking at the big side of the tiger and delaying, and they need to be vigilant. Therefore, the purpose of this battle is to destroy the miscellaneous army in front of him and establish prestige.

As long as you can withstand the temptation of the prosperous Central Plains and don't go stupidly to attack the city, you are seventy or eighty percent sure of winning this battle, after all, the army has more people than the enemy, and the equipment and combat power are not weak.

At this moment, the Great Chief of the Khambi Department hurriedly came and said loudly: "I want to see the Great Khan, you let me pass." ”

"No! The Great Khan had an order, and he was considering a strategy to break the enemy, and no one was allowed to disturb him. One of them said coldly.

"It's a matter of success or failure, and you have to let me pass. Otherwise, it will be too late. Qi Bi He Li's voice was full of impatience.

"Let him come!" Jieli Khan stared coldly at Qibi He Li, his eyes were full of violence, this kid is also a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed, using his trust to annex countless small tribes, making the three Tiele tribes under his command a big tail.

Qibi He Li strode over and said worriedly: "Great Khan, I'm afraid we are going to withdraw our troops, and we can't fight!" ”

"Why?" Jieli Khan was a little dumbfounded, at this time, you let Lao Tzu not fight, and roll back to the grassland? What does that mean?

He resisted the urge to draw a knife and cut people, and looked at Qi He Li coldly, he didn't believe that this very smart Qi He Li would not know his intentions. At this critical time, he actually proposed to retreat north, what does Qi Qi Li mean by this, and what is his purpose? Jieli Khan looked at it with great annoyance, waiting for Qi Qi He Li to give him a reasonable reason.

Qibi He Li pointed to the sky and said to Jieli Khan: "This is a sign of heavy rain, if the heavy rain hits in the war, the battlefield will be muddy, and the war horses will be stuck in it, and they will not be able to advance or retreat. ”

Even the Turkic attachments next to him were a little uneasy at the words of Qibi He Li, and they all knew the consequences of the war horse falling into the mud.

Jieli Khan's expression was a little better, how could he not know. But now, it's not that he can retreat if he wants to, not to mention that Ashina Simo will catch up, just the name of fleeing in embarrassment is not something he can afford.

If he didn't even dare to fight, I am afraid that his prestige would be consumed immediately, and then what would the Turks think of their Great Khan? What is his ability to dominate the grasslands? So even if a knife falls from the sky, this battle must be fought and won.

"The Great Chief should go back! The war starts tomorrow, so don't let it affect morale. ”

The tone of the Jieli Khan was very cold, and in the eyes of their Turks, the Tiele and the Rigas were slaves, and they were inferior and despicable peoples who were conquered by them. Their so-called Great Chieftain, in front of the supreme Turkic Great Khan, was not even qualified to talk on an equal footing, let alone to raise objections and oppose accusations against him.

"Great Khan! Once the horses get stuck in the mud, we have no advantage. And the Sui army is good at foot horses. He Li continued.

"20,000 Sui troops, what can they do? Do you think that our 180,000 grassland children can't even deal with 20,000? ”

Jieli Khan's anger was almost uncontrollable, his eyes as sharp as knives stared at Qibi He Li, his hand was already pressed on the hilt of the knife, and he dared to say a word again, he immediately slaughtered this bastard, and then, like his brother Shibi Khan, swallowed the three parts of Tiele before the battle.

The vigilant Qi Qi He Li felt the opponent's undisguised murderous intention, and quickly lowered his head, at this critical moment he didn't dare to stimulate Jieli Khan anymore, he bowed and saluted: "The Turkic Great Khan is the wolf king, all wolf cubs should follow you across the world, and I am no exception, I will leave first." ”

Jieli Khan's hand left the hilt of the sword, and a false smile appeared on his face: "If you stand in my seat, you will know the reason why I have to fight." ”

"Don't dare!" He Li broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said: "The Qibi Department will always be the most loyal servant of the Great Khan. ”

"Go ahead! I hope that on the battlefield, I can see the majesty of the warriors of the Khibi. ”

"Yes!"

He Li saluted again and retreated.

Jieli Khan sneered, this unruly wolf cub, he had to scare him to be obedient, Jieli Khan knew that he was not the beginning, if he killed Qibi He Li on the eve of the war, there would definitely be infighting. Looking at the back of Qi Bi why he was going away, he yearned for his brother's supreme authority even more.

……

He Li returned to his tent, and he paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, anxious in his heart, anxious about the future of the three parts of Qibi.

If the Turks win this battle, the Jieli Khan, who is carrying the power of a great victory, will definitely use the three divisions of the Khambi to deter the rebellious divisions. If he loses, Jieli Khan will still attack them, because Jieli Khan has never really believed in himself, and he is afraid that he will turn against him, so he will also attack.

Now that he should do something for the three parts no matter what, Qi Bi He was heartbroken, and finally made up his mind.

He walked to the door of the tent and ordered: "Summoning Tengger, the chief of the Hui tribe, and Mu Zong, the chief of the Hun tribe, to discuss the matter." ”

In a moment, two burly young chiefs walked into the big tent and bowed, "Is there something wrong with us, big brother?" ”

"Sit!" Qi Bi He Li and the others sat down and told the three of them about the dead end. Tengger and Mu Zong were shocked and shocked when they heard this.

"I think we need to reconsider our relationship with the Turks, if we continue like this, we will be killed by the Great Khan of Jieli sooner or later!" The more he spoke, the angrier he became.

"Big brother, what do you say?"

Qi Bi He Li's expression became colder and colder, and said: "Last year, many tribes took refuge in the Great Sui, and the King of Qin of the Great Sui accepted their southward migration and annexation, I think, we can too." ”

Mu Zong worried: "It's not impossible to belong to the Sui Dynasty, but I heard that the Sui Dynasty has five households and one village to settle in various parts of the Great Sui Dynasty, and if this continues, within ten years, there will be no tribe for us." ”

"If we don't surrender to the Sui Dynasty, after the war is over, we will be gone." Qi Qi He Li looked at the two of them and sighed: "If you surrender to the Sui Dynasty, although the tribe is gone, the clansmen can at least live well." As the leader of the clan, isn't it just to let the clansmen live? As for our brothers, we can fight for a good future with our military exploits. ”

Tengger and Mu Zong glanced at each other and said, "We listen to the eldest brother." ”

He Li wrote a letter, handed it to Mu Zong, and said in a low voice: "Brother Mu sent this letter to the Sui army camp, hand over this letter to General Qin Qiong by hand, and be careful of the ranger ...... of Jieli Khan."

"I understand!" Mu Zong took the letter, put it away properly, and left in a hurry.

……

Qin Qiong had been in Baicheng for a long time, and he was extremely familiar with the situation of the Turks, and knew that when Jieli Khan used the Western Turks to contain the army led by Yang Tong, he made a desperate bet. And he, Qin Qiong, had no choice but not to defeat the main force of Jili Khan again, Ashina Simo was not the opponent of Jieli Khan at all, and he could not go back to support Yang Tong, who was under great pressure.

This is a crucial battle related to the calm of the northern border, and if this battle is won, Jieli Khan and Ashnasimo will be plunged into an endless civil war, and he can draw the Sui army to support Yang Tong, and then severely suppress the rapidly developing Western Turks. Only when the western and northern borders were peaceful could the Great Sui concentrate its efforts and make adequate preparations for domination of the world.

At this time, the partial general Fan appeared beside him and saluted: "General, the last general has been confused, and I want to ask the general to solve my doubts." ”

Qin Qiong smiled and said, "If you are confused, just ask?" ”

Fan Ze bit his lip and said: "When His Highness was young, he used tens of thousands of troops to break the enemy by hundreds of thousands, such as the Battle of Xingyang and the Battle of Wude Mountain in Jizhou. When Luo Yi rebelled, he used 100,000 troops to break Luo Yi, destroy the Khitan, destroy the Xi tribe, and recover Liaodong. During the Battle of Mayi, we also defeated the army of 300,000 or 400,000 with a weak army, and His Highness even captured Baicheng with a lone army, killing corpses all over the field. But this time, I feel that His Highness seems to have changed, and has become cautious and cautious. ”

Qin Qiong laughed, "Are you saying that Your Highness is timid and afraid?" ”

Fan Ze was taken aback and hurriedly explained: "The last general didn't mean that, but His Highness seems to be too cautious. ”

Qin Qiong shook his head, "If there is only one Jieli Khan, His Highness will not be like this, and even let us fight by ourselves." And now there is a big variable in the Western Turks, which sit back and watch us fight with Jieli, no matter who wins or loses, the Western Turks will advance eastward, and then unify the Eastern and Western Turks again. If the country is unified, we have no worries at all, and we can let go of our hands and feet to fight this great unification of the Turks, but the country is now divided, and if we fall into a protracted war with the Turks, it will lead to the weakening of our Great Sui's national strength, people's strength, and military strength one by one, and this result is exactly what Li Yuan and other traitors are willing to see. Therefore, in this battle, Jieli is secondary, the focus is on the Western Turks in charge of His Highness, only by winning the Western Turks, can the forces of Jieli, the Western Turks, and Ashina Simo be balanced, and if they fight in a three-way manner, they will not be able to cause harm to the border of our Great Sui, and in order to defeat the Western Turks, His Highness has even made preparations to sacrifice the two states of Yongliang. ”

"Sacrificing the land of Yongliang? Why? Fan was dumbfounded.

"My Great Sui is now the first prince in the world, and this momentum will become stronger and stronger, if I can bury my head in development for a few years, even if the southern princes join forces, it can be decided in a battle. However, His Highness always believed that the civil war was a battle of luck between brothers, and that the alien race was the great enemy. His Royal Highness thinks that if the territory is gone, it can be fought back, but if even the clansmen are gone, then what's the point of the world? Therefore, His Royal Highness would rather put down the strategy of burying his head in development, but also fight this battle, and was prepared to be stabbed in the back by traitors if the war did not go well. ”

Qin Qiong patted Fan Ze's shoulder and said with an open-minded smile: "Your Highness treats the people of the world as his own people, so he will have such an irrational decision. But isn't that the king in the hearts of my warriors? Don't think about it so much, fighting this battle well tomorrow is the greatest support for His Highness. ”

An indescribable excitement rose in Fan Ze's heart, and he nodded heavily.
