Chapter 234: Prairie Fox
That being said, but who is Yang Tong? The King of Qin of the Sui Dynasty, the actual master, whether it is fame, martial arts, or power, is the first in the Central Plains. When the Sui Dynasty was at its weakest, he killed hundreds of thousands of our Turkic troops under the White Wolf Pass with the power of a small prince in Mayi, and even Shibi Khan was also killed under the White Wolf Pass. ”
The old little khan of the Eastern Turks said to Xiang Zhi with great resignation: "We Turks are not good at attacking cities, but now, Yang Tong is surround the land of the Sui Dynasty with a taller and stronger new Great Wall, how do you say we can enter the Central Plains?" ”
Zhi Sili said coldly: "You are wrong, now it is not that we are going to fight the Sui Dynasty, but that the Sui Dynasty is coming to fight us." ”
When this man heard this, he suddenly found that everyone was looking at him with an idiotic eye, which made him extremely ashamed.
"Sheer, what do you think?" Jieli Khan asked another member of the royal family. Although he was extremely dissatisfied with Ashina Suyan, this was not the time for infighting, so he gave the other party a step down.
Ashina Sheer sighed: "If we retreat from a threat, it will deal a fatal blow to the prestige of the Great Khan, and we have the Holy Mountain behind us, and there is no way to retreat." ”
Hearing this, Jieli Khan's face became solemn.
In fact, when Yang Tong first established himself in Zhuo County, the two had a happy cooperation, and he was bent on replacing his brother Shibi Khan, and quietly exchanged many good war horses for many high-quality weapons. At that time, it was also Ashina Sheer, who persuaded him not to strengthen the Sui Dynasty because of temporary benefits, but he felt that the Sui Dynasty people were at a congenital disadvantage in riding, if the whole army of the Sui Dynasty was riding, it would be to promote their own shortcomings and waste their own strengths, which was in their own arms, and therefore, they did not listen to the words of Ashina Sheer and Insistence on losing their thinking, but who would have thought that in just a few years, the Sui cavalry became the strongest army in this land. This also shows how stupid he was at the beginning, because although the Sui Dynasty was an agrarian nation and there were very few good riders, the Sui Dynasty had a large population, and a hundred soldiers could pick out at least one good rider, and the Sui Dynasty had a population of nearly 30 million people, not to mention two or three hundred thousand elite knights. In this way, a huge number of elite riders naturally existed. Equipped with the terrifying crossbow of the Sui Dynasty, the cavalry of the Sui army is even more powerful.
At this moment, Jieli Khan had a feeling of moving stones and smashing his feet.
"How do you think you should deal with the present?" Jieli Khan narrowed his eyes for a moment and asked.
"Great Khan, since the day the Sui Dynasty was founded, it has always liked to sit and watch the Turkic infighting. In the past, Yang Jian divided our Great Turkic Khanate into two, and then supported the Qimin Khan and the Dulan Khan as enemies. Yang Tong is now supporting Anassimo and the Great Khan as enemies, and their methods have always been like this, and they have never changed. The Great Khan will test the reaction of the Sui Dynasty to see if Yang Tong is willing to accept us. When we have cleaned up Anashimo, we will compete with the Sui Dynasty like the Shibi Khan. ”
Ashina Suyan, the eastern Turkic royal family, with more than 200 tribes, is a major force on the side of the Anashi family, and is also one of the staunch supporters of Jieli Khan.
Jieli Khan said coldly: "Uncle means to surrender to the Sui Dynasty? ”
Ashina Suyan nodded and said: "There have been many heroes in the Central Plains since ancient times, Yang Jian, Yang Guang, Changsun Sheng, Yang Shuang, Shi Wansui, Yu Zeqing, Han Baohu, Yu Juluo, Yang Su, and now Yang Dong are all people with deep and far-reaching plans. ”
"Great Khan, do you still remember what Qimin Khan told us to cut grass for Emperor Sui?"
"Naturally, I remember." Jieli Khan's eyes flashed with a thick color of shame, he clenched his fists heavily, and said, "I can't forget until I die." ”
When the Khan of Qimin invited Yang Guang to tour the north, Yang Guang happily agreed, but before leaving, he still sent Changsun Sheng to test the attitude of the Turks.
When Changsun Sheng saw the big tent prepared by Qimin Khan for Yang Guang, he deliberately made it difficult. Qimin Khan immediately didn't say a word, and led a group of Turkic nobles, grabbed the thatch with spikes, ignored the blood flowing on his hands, and cut it little by little with a murderous scimitar.
Changsun Sheng was satisfied and left.
Returning to the tent in the evening, his father, Qimin Khan, said to all the Turkic warriors: "Today's shame is because we are still very weak, and when we become strong in the future, we will pay it back a hundredfold." ”
Jieli Khan will always remember that day, and remember that mighty man roaring like a wolf king.
In fact, his elder brother Ashina Duji (Shibi Khan) did it, and after his brother rose to the top, he besieged Yanmen Pass. Three or four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the world has changed dramatically.
His father died, his brother who was bent on rebellion died, and his second brother, who had reunited the Eastern Turks, died, but when the second brother handed over the Turks to him, the Turks were getting weaker and weaker in his hands.
Ashina Suyan said: "There is an allusion in the Central Plains, saying that the Yue Kingdom is not as good as the Wu State, and the Yue King Goujian showed flattery to the King of Wu in a thousand ways, and even gave the King of Wu a taste of dung to win the favor of the King of Wu, so that the King of Wu despised him. And after he returned to the Yue Kingdom, he slept on firewood and grass, and tasted bitter gall before eating and sleeping, so as to remember the shame and work hard, and finally he defeated the Wu Kingdom. ”
Jieli Khan understood that he was telling the story of lying on his back and tasting his courage, and said, "Uncle wants us to learn Goujian? Deliberately show weakness and surrender, secretly work hard, first attack Ashina Simo and other weak, and then compete with the Sui Dynasty when the strength is strong? ”
"That's exactly what it means." Anassuyan said.
"'It's okay if you don't tear your face with the Sui Dynasty, once you tear your face, you should do your best, and don't leave any room at all. Don't let your opponent breathe, when he loses control, it will be us who will perish. These words were also spoken by the Great Khan of the Enlightened People. Ashina Sheer glanced at Anashi Suyan, clenched his fists and said: "Yang Dong is particularly ruthless to foreign races, he is not like the second emperor of civil and military affairs of the Sui Dynasty, what he wants is absolute submission, just like Ashina Simo, he has been ground to no blood, he is now Yang Dong's obedient dog." ”
"Now that we have embarked on this road where the Sui Dynasty is also the enemy, there is no room for maneuver, take the lead in defeating Ashina Simo, and my Turks can stand up again, otherwise Yang Dong will go north, not to mention our soldiers and horses, even if they are doubled, they will definitely not be Yang Dong's opponents."
Jieli Khan's eyes froze, "She'er said it well, but I'm really worried that Yang Tong will send troops directly." ”
"Great Khan, Yang Tong will definitely send troops, but not many."
"How so?"
"Because Ashina Simo's forces have threatened the peace of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Tong needs to borrow our hand to weaken him. So the Sui Dynasty will send troops, but not too many. ”
After a pause, Ashina Sheer said: "The point is that even if we lose, we won't lose anything. ”
"Why?" Ashina Suyanqi said.
Ashina Sheer smiled bitterly: "Uncle, Yang Dong's Great Wall stopped in the Yin Mountain, and did not reach the Northern Khan Court. It's because the north is too desolate! He Yang Tong couldn't look down on it. ”
"I see." Ashina Suyan suddenly realized, and asked again: "The Sui army is extremely powerful, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the first Bi Khan were all folded under the White Wolf Pass. ”
Anashi Sheer said: "Shibi Khan was defeated by Ma Yi because he underestimated Yang Tong, but we won't. There is also the most important first point, that is, Yang Tong has never been defeated since he started the army, and he has been invincible all the way. If we can defeat the soldiers of the first person in the world, not only will the confidence of our people be greatly increased, but also the great prestige of Yang Dong can be used to achieve the glory of the Great Khan. ”
"She'er, what you said is really good, don't say that he Yang Tong won't come in person, even if he comes in person, I also want to learn his peerless martial arts." Stubborn Sili praised loudly and said, "Even if we are defeated, we can hide in the grassland." Even if Yang Tong defeated us, with the current situation in the Great Sui, it would be impossible for him to go on an expedition to the prairie. ”
Seeing that a group of young warriors were emboldened by the two of them, Jieli Khan laughed and said, "You are both right. Naturally, I will not run away in embarrassment just because Yang Tong is coming. ”
Speaking of this, he asked again: "But what about Tong Ye to protect this person?" As soon as this person heard that the Sui Dynasty was going north, he never mentioned the matter of jointly sending troops, obviously preparing to sit and watch us compete with the Sui Dynasty, and he also had the intention of returning to the Western Turks at any time. ”
Ashina Sheer said in a deep voice: "What the Great Khan said is very true, the Western Turks are internally stable, and after two generations of development, they have hundreds of thousands of troops. What is surprising is that he is not proud of his martial arts, but especially admires the civilization and system of the Central Plains, if he is not restricted, this person must be the first strong enemy of our Eastern Turks. Because the Sui Dynasty only wants to defeat us, but what he wants to seize is our foundation. ”
"She'er is very right."
Jieli Khan's eyes were full of cold light, and he said fiercely: "Tonight's banquet, we ......"
"Great Khan!" A Turkic general hurriedly entered and interrupted Jieli Khan's words: "Qiqi Great Khan, Tongye Hu Khan sent a message that there was a rebellion in Gaochang. Therefore, it was too late to say goodbye, and he had already led the army to return to the Western Turks. In addition, he wished us a victorious and successful start. ”
Everyone rushed out of the tent in a swarm, and sure enough, the Western Turks had already left the camp.
"This bastard, let him go first." Looking at the mighty army heading west, he scolded in a hurry.
Ashina Sheer's face also became quite ugly: "What a Tong Ye Hu, the reaction is really fast enough, as soon as he heard that the Sui army was coming, he immediately got out and returned, probably going back to wait for the result of the decisive battle between us and the Sui Dynasty." ”
"In a war, whether we win or lose, we have to pay a very heavy price. The most terrible thing is that our army has not returned, and Yudujin Mountain has fallen into the hands of the Western Turks. On the side, Zhao Deyan, who was raised as an arm by Jieli Khan, said in a deep voice.
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
Jieli Khan also frowned deeply, and yesterday he and Zhao Deyan also talked about the Western Turks.
At this time, they can only try to maintain friendly relations with the Western Turks, and once they turn their faces with the Western Turks, forming a flank attack of the Western Turks and the Southern Sui Dynasty, the Eastern/Turkic is in danger.
And just as Ashina Sheer said, the Sui Dynasty only wanted to defeat them, while the Western Turks wanted to seize the Holy One with them, that is, the latter was a powerful existence that wanted people's lives.
Jieli Khan silently looked at the Western Turkic army in the distance, slammed his fist, and said solemnly: "It seems that we must be ready for a decisive battle with Ashina Simo, since this battle is unavoidable, then win this battle, and then negotiate conditions with the Sui Dynasty." and then fight against the Western Turks."
"The Great Khan is wise, although we have suffered countless losses over the years, we still have 150,000 troops, as long as we can win Ashina Simo, we have the capital to negotiate with the Sui Dynasty, and I believe that the Sui Dynasty does not want the Western Turks to rise strongly in the Western Regions." Zhao Deyan said.
"Tong Ye Hu, this wolf cub, is unreliable, without him, I am more at ease, but he will definitely not go far. Stubbornly losing Sili and She'er, you two will each command an army of 20,000 to attack the Ashnasimo army heading north, and you must delay the enemy's time to move north. Jieli Khan waved his hand heavily.
"Yes!"
"Uncle Su Yan!"
"Yes." Ashina Suyan answered
"You will lead the army from Yudu Jin Mountain, and in order to fight this battle, we will pour out of the nest."
"This ......," Ashina Suyan looked at Jieli Khan in horror.
"Uncle, we have no way back." Jieli smiled miserably.
Thinking of Ashina Sheer's analysis before he lost his mind, Ashina Suyan nodded silently and said, "There are still more than 30,000 warriors in my department, and I will gather them in one day. ”
What is a loved one?
Relatives are when you need help the most, when you are most desperate, regardless of success or failure, regardless of consequences, without regrets to accompany you, and share all difficulties with you.
"Thank you uncle for your support." Jieli Khan was extremely grateful, and bowed deeply to this uncle, who had always been by his side and support.
