When the army crossed the Canghe Racecourse, and the Great Wall was faintly visible in the distance, Li Po had to make the army stop.

Because Liu Jing and Li Ya brought the Turkic envoys to the army.

The news they brought was very bad.

The Turkic envoy was still the woman from before, Bisero, the princess of the Great Sui Yicheng.

The first thing she said when she saw Li Po was, "Your Highness asked me to inform the general that the general is late, the khan has returned to the realm of the gods, and the nobles are preparing to hand over the authority of the khan to Ashina Elivo......"

Shibi Khan died, and the news was unmistakable.

There was no need for the woman to say anything, Li Ya had already quietly told Li Po the cause of Shibi Khan's death.

This is really not some Turkic civil strife, and there should be no conspiracy.

It's true that Shibi Khan is very sick, but it should have lasted a few days.

But the shamans of the gods demanded his life.

The Turkic shamans were also tired of praying to the gods day and night, so, in a negligent way, they set fire to the palace in the city of Dali.

Not only did it burn two temples, but it almost caused a fight among the Turkic nobles, who were already extremely sensitive.

And the shamans, in order to get rid of their crimes, began to talk nonsense.

They said that the gods were not satisfied with the sacrifice offered by the Khan, so they were angry and set fire to the Khan's palace, and they wanted the Khan to double the sacrifice, and even made the Khan prepare a thousand slaves to be slaughtered under the guise of a blood sacrifice.

This bloody way of sacrificing is not uncommon in the Turkic Khanate, especially the customs left by the Rouran people back then, which are still circulating among many steppe tribes.

But the Turkic royal court has been banned for many years.

Shibi Khan was undoubtedly a devout disciple of the gods, but he was also a Turkic khan, and after listening to the nonsense of the shamans, he believed it to be true, and in a fit of rage, he vomited blood that night.

The next day, he invited Ashina Eliver and other Turkic magnates to see, obviously, he was not optimistic about Ashina Elivo's brother, otherwise, it would not have been at this time to have the intention of passing on the throne.

This matter was persuaded by Princess Yicheng, in fact, there is no need to persuade her, Shibi Khan has been ill for some time, and the people around her are all confidants of Princess Yicheng, as long as Princess Yicheng does not agree, most of the news cannot be spread.

This is also the last effort made by Princess Yicheng.

She was known to be authoritative in the Turkic Khanate, but her inherent weakness was also extremely obvious, and in the succession to the khanate, consciously or unconsciously, the nobles would minimize her influence.

Even the nobles who were attached to her would not contribute to her ambitions at this time, let alone be like Ashina Elivivo, who could mobilize a large army and prepare to enter the royal court.

But when the Khan had run out of oil and dried up, and when Li Po returned to the county seat of Mayi, the Turkic Khan, who had reigned for eight years and single-handedly brought the Turkic Khanate into prosperity, finally died and went to see his god.

During the reign of Shibi Khan, it can be said that the life of the Turks in the northern steppe was the most stable season, and the internal strife of the Sui people also made the external strategic environment of the Turks the best improved.

It can be said that for the Turks, Shibi Khan was a great and wise king, and what he brought to the Turks was stability and prosperity, in fact, this is the most rare quality of a king.

And the failure of the two southern expeditions undoubtedly brought a stain to this khan, there is no way, the kings are well versed in internal affairs, and there are not too many examples of defeat by foreign enemies.

Moreover, he left a very serious hidden danger for the Turks......

As soon as Shibi Khan died, the process of succession to the throne of the Turks was immediately initiated, because he did not designate an heir to the throne, so it must have been chosen by the great nobles.

In fact, in the Turkic Khanate, where the strong are respected, this kind of election is not necessary, and now there is only one heir to the throne, that is, the Eastern Khan Ashina Elivo.

He has the most tribes, his status is the most noble, the warriors under his command are the most brave and good at fighting, and he has the support of Ashina, and he is the undisputed successor to the throne.

And the first thing he had to do was not to convince those nobles, but to prepare to remarry Princess Yoshishi.

The woman had no intention of concealing it, and she could not hide anything, and the accident in the city of Dali was very sudden, and the situation changed in a very short time.

Everything that Princess Yicheng promised, at this time, could not be done.

As the woman said, "His Royal Highness is ready to marry Ashina Elivo, this is the will of the gods, it cannot be violated, the general's will, His Highness has it, if the general is interested, His Highness will recommend it to the new Khan, and the general will be named the Southern Khan......"

This is undoubtedly a helpless move.

When Li Po heard this, he also scoffed, Southern Khan? It sounds good, but it may be a knife for the Turks to attack the Central Plains.

Although he Li Po is not a hero who stands up to the sky, he also disdains it.

Without thinking about it at all, Li Po laughed and said, "Does Your Highness want me to return to the army?" ”

The woman's posture is actually very different from before.

Today, when the Turkic Khan's throne has been decided, like many of the preparations made by Princess Yicheng before, this strange army has lost its due role.

The woman lowered her eyes and said, "Your Highness said that the future is long, and when you rely on the general, please don't be disappointed by this small setback...... His Royal Highness also said that he asked the general to return Princess Garan to the royal court. ”

Li Po's smile suddenly brightened a little brighter, showing that he was extremely annoyed.

He waved his army to attack Jinyang, and gathered troops in Mayi, these things were completed in just two months, how much energy did it take, how much blood flowed, how could he return to Daizhou at this time?

"You go back and tell Your Highness that the bow and arrow that has been shot out have no reason to take it back, the Turkic Khan's father and son, both married my eldest princess of the Great Sui as his wife, and humiliated me very much, as a Sui person, I hate to rip off his heart and liver, eat his flesh and bones, and now His Royal Highness has the heart to call the king of the grassland, I will do my best to help, but His Royal Highness actually has the intention of seeking perfection?"

"Go back and let Your Highness wait and see, I will lead my troops to kill Kruhu, Ashina Boyu and others, and eradicate Ashina Elivo's eagle dog, at that time, what Eastern Khan and Western Khan will not be in the hands of His Highness?"

With some admiration, but also some disdain for this kind of self-indulgent behavior, the woman with mixed feelings embarked on the return journey, looking back at the cavalry army that stood densely in the field.

The woman thought about those words that were a little arrogant, but extremely firm, and finally a thought came to her heart, how many such heroes are there among us Turks?

On this day, the army stopped moving forward and encamped on the spot.

Li Po summoned the generals to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Briefly talk about the current situation, and let the generals discuss.

The generals were surprised, but also worried, you know, at this time, the Turks have no worries about civil strife, and the loss of Princess Yicheng correspondingly, then it is very dangerous to wave the army north.

Discussions came and went, and the people led by Buqun believed that the danger of marching into the clouds at this time would outweigh the losses, because if they attacked the southern part of Ake, they might be surrounded by the Turks in Dingxiang County, and even if they defeated Ashina Biji, if they could not open the gate of Dali City, it would be in vain.

Liu Jingsheng thought that everyone would not be willing to go back like this, so it was better for Chen Bing to stay along the Great Wall and see the opportunity to make a decision.

Luo Shixin is a little indifferent, this guy has a bad idea, thinking that he will go to fight Akin Nanfang first, kill Ashina Biji, and then return to the army to fight with Kru Hu, and wait for Kru Hu to be killed, and then go to fight Ashina Boyu......

Well, this is a more death-seeking behavior, Ashina Elivo's cronies are leading their troops closer to Dali City to attack the south of Acre, even if they are rushing headlong into the encirclement of the Turks.

and then with Crewe, Daizhou's men and horses have to be thrown into the cloud grassland.

In fact, what Wei Chigong said makes sense.

"We waited to take advantage of the situation, and consumed countless grains and grass, but returned in vain, and the soldiers will have resentment, and after Ashina Elivo inherited the throne, once he waved his troops south, I was under the enemy's back, and the situation would be out of control."

"The chief manager led us to the north, aiming to eliminate the border troubles in the north, so how could we easily have the heart to lead the troops back to the south?"

Does that make sense? There must be, and the most important thing is that this is very much in line with Li Po's heart.

Just like he himself said, there is no turning back when he opens the bow, he leads his troops to the north, how can he easily return to the army if he does not achieve his goal?

If you don't have any chance, then forget it, after all, you can't lead your troops to your own death.

But there was still an opportunity, and the Turks were obviously defenseless against the south, and they were scattered and easy to break through.

Moreover, this time the enemy can only be counted as a part of the Turks, not the entire Turkic Khanate, and in terms of troops, it did not suffer too much.

So, after thinking about it for a long time, Li Po made a final decision.

"There is no need to discuss it anymore, do you want to wait for the Turks to be stable inside, and take advantage of the situation to bow down to them? The state of Turkic tigers and wolves has sent troops to attack our Daizhou twice, and it is difficult to reassure people to have such neighbors. ”

"Today I'm going to break in, smash his ancestral hall first, and then say, send an order, let the scouts explore to the east, I want to know where the 20,000 spirit riders of Kru Hu are, cheer me up, I'm afraid we want to see what kind of majesty the Turkic spirit rides on the grassland."

This is the first time that Li Po has temporarily changed his combat objectives, and it must be very uncomfortable for Li Po, who pays special attention to combat planning.

But the war is like this, many times it is impossible to go according to your plan, in that case, there will not be so many so-called famous generals in the world.

All along, Li Po has been able to find the right time to fight and use surprise attacks to crush his enemies.

And this time, will it be the same?
