In the midst of the golden-domed tent in the Turkic army, the Turkic Khan Ashina Jishi was issuing the most severe questioning in his characteristic casual tone.

"How long will it be before I can drink in this city? How much more warrior blood do you want me to see in order to win this insignificant victory? ”

His voice was not high, nor was it deliberately accentuated, but there was no doubt that this was a terrible man, and he held unparalleled power in the Turkic Khanate, and you had to listen carefully to every word, otherwise you might not have to hear any other voice in the future.

The Turkic nobles in the account bowed their heads one after another, not daring to look at him at all.

Most of them knew that the Khan was not angry, but had lost patience, and when the Khan was truly angry, he would not hesitate to tear those who had offended him apart.

Of course, the heads hanging from the flagpole outside the ledger also reminded them that this khan was far less merciful and generous than his father.

"Father Khan ......"

Someone opened his mouth, this does require some courage, everyone looked over, not surprisingly, it was the Khan's favorite son, Ashina Qiura.

"I think we should give up attacking the city of Mayi, our warriors are not good at such warfare, our horses are here to stop their horses' hooves, our scimitars can only be swung upwards to kill the enemy, and those walls made of stone block our bows and arrows......"

"Father Khan, it's spring...... The Warriors need to get their booty before they can go back to face their families......"

Some of them were nodding their heads secretly, and these words were exactly what they wanted to say.

Smack. Before Ashina Qiura could finish speaking, a wine glass had already fallen in front of him.

"Get out."

There was still no joy or anger in his voice. But in the midst of sweat, no one dared to disobey such an order.

The young Ashina Qiura stood up with a flushed face. He stooped down and beat his chest, and was kicked out of the sweat account backwards.

"Well, the ignorant cub likes to show off his ignorance, and I forgive him for his recklessness, because that is not cowardice...... Well, enough blood has been shed, and who else thinks that we can enter this city without much difficulty? Or...... I heard someone say that the Golden Wolf Banner has arrived here. And someone will open the gates and welcome us in? ”

"We always say that the Sui people are in civil strife, and many Sui people are expecting us to help them, and are always waiting for us to go south and lead them to kill their emperor."

"But now you should open your eyes and see, are those who have sent us kind words really willing to let us occupy their lands and wait for the call of the Golden Wolf Banner?"

"I brought you here. Is it just to get the wealth of the Sui people? ”

"Go back, your clumsy behavior makes the prestige of our Turks look like a joke, tomorrow. I will continue to watch the battle, and only those who fight bravely will be rewarded and glorified by me. ”

The Turkic nobles dispersed, and Shibi Khan took up the silver bowl. Sipping the milk wine inside, the irritability in my heart lingered.

It's just a small city of Mayup. Just to stop the tens of thousands of troops in their tracks, it's almost like a joke that is not funny.

What made him even more unhappy was that. At the beginning, the 300,000 army besieged Yanmen City, but in the end it was in vain, which disappointed him for a long, long time, and even every time he thought about it, he imagined what kind of glory he would have if he caught Yang Guang and offered such a gift to the gods.

It's a pity that it was just imagination, and more than a year later, he led his troops south again, but he had to face such a city.

Therefore, when he was talking to the generals, he was trying to suppress the anger in his chest.

Moreover, this time he came south, he planned very well, that is, to completely open the road to Jinyang, at least, to sweep Mayi County and prepare for the use of troops after the autumn.

Yes, this year he will lead the army to fight continuously, and will not give the Sui people any respite.

This is, of course, a manifestation of the strength of the Turkic state, but unfortunately, under the city of Mayi, he once again felt the frustration he had at the beginning.

In fact, there has been no war with the Sui people for many years, so that the Turks' southward road is full of uncertainties, just like the war in the eleventh year of the Great Cause, although the Turks have an absolute advantage, but after withdrawing the army, they found that the casualties were almost unbearable.

There is no need to think much about this, because in the previous negotiations with the wise people among the Turks, there are many methods, and there is actually only one that is useful and can quickly produce results.

That is, to obtain more Sui craftsmen, so that they can build elaborate and sturdy siege equipment, and to get more Sui soldiers, so that they can attack strong cities.

Thinking of these, Shibi Khan became a little more irritable, the Sui people are cunning, there are really not many people who can follow orders, and one by one the little Khans are rewarded, but how many can really listen to the Khan's orders?

Their obedience is only for one, and they just don't want the Turks to attack them.

In fact, Shibi Khan has now felt that the vast territory of the Turks has slowed down the southward movement of the Turks, and rebellions are occurring all the time in the Turkic Khanate, and the power of the Turkic tribes is becoming thinner and thinner in the face of such a vast territory.

And now, they have to save more people and land, which makes them seem a little overwhelmed.

Shibi Khan frowned and thought about it, this time when he went back, he should have summoned the leaders of the Tiele tribes to come to the royal court once, and his younger brother Jieli Khan was not a wise leader.

He was provoking more and more of the Tiele tribes to revolt with his incessant killings, and some tribes had begun to gradually migrate westward, away from the sweat of Jieli Khan.

You must know that the Tiele tribes on both sides of the Tula River are not only allies of the Turkic tribes, but also in-laws of the Turkic tribes, and they have inseparable blood involvement.

If the Tiele tribes were to be separated, the national strength of the Turkic Khanate would be severely damaged again, and it would bring even more terrible consequences than when the Turkic Khanate was divided into two parts, the east and the west.

Yes, the powerful Turkic Khanate also had many hidden worries, and when they were quiet, they had time to deal with these internal troubles.

But when they started to expand, many ills were completely manifested, and they continued to affect the pace of Turkic expansion.

People always say that blessings and misfortunes do not go alone, and there is indeed some truth, just when Shibi Khan was troubled, another bad news reached Khan's account.

His son, Ashinaqiuluo, went and returned to report to him, "Father Khan, Zhang Shujie...... Escaped back......"

Shibi Khan narrowed his eyes, this was not unexpected, this royal descendant of the Gaochang Kingdom was not a person who could lead the army into battle and achieve victory.

And in the clouds of the Sui people, there is still a poisonous snake entrenched.

Shibi Khan even thought with relief that more than 30,000 mouths that only knew how to eat meat should be worth the price in exchange for the life of this poisonous snake.

He casually asked, "How many people have returned?" ”

Ashina Qiuluo's resolute face showed a strange look, "Forty-two." ”

Shibi Khan gritted his teeth and hid the surprise in his heart very well, which was obviously a little inconsistent with his expectations, he had not heard of more than 30,000 cavalry being surrounded and annihilated for a long time.

Because no matter how stupid a guy is, he should know to let go of the reins and run away.

Ashina Qiuluo has always spoken very directly, because as the most favored son of Shibi Khan, the word cautious naturally has nothing to do with him.

"I asked, and they were so defeated that they didn't even have time to escape...... Under that city, it must have been stained with blood, Father Khan, I want to lead my troops to fight that man, his hands are already stained with the blood of Turkic warriors......"

This time, he was not reprimanded, and Shibi Khan showed a benevolent side.

"Be patient, my son, for you will only be satisfied if you cut off the enemy's head with your own hands? It is said that the brave will be rewarded, but you are different, you need more wisdom to discern who deserves the reward. ”

"Okay, go and bring Zhang Shujie here, kill the others, don't let more people know about it, understand?"

"Yes, Father Khan." Ashina Qiuluo thumped his chest, but his heart was full of unwillingness, thinking, what is more worthy of boasting than cutting off the head of a strong enemy with his own hands?

The young Turkic nobles did not yet understand that power was often more useful among the Turks than anything else, and that power was more often a matter of wisdom than horses and scimitars.

Subsequently, Shibi Khan heard a new version of defeat, Zhang Shujie wept bitterly about how he led his troops to kill the enemy bravely, how the generals did not listen to military orders and did their own thing, and finally how in the battle of wits and courage, he fell into the enemy's treacherous plan and was defeated.

How did he break out of the siege and get lucky to come back alive to report to the Khan.

Shibi Khan picked up what he could listen to and listened, but he couldn't sketch out how more than 30,000 cavalry could almost wipe out the picture under the first battle, such a scene was too beautiful, but it should definitely not appear under Yunnei City.

And in his opinion, as far as the subordinates led by Zhang Shujie are concerned, they should be some guys who will run faster than rabbits when they encounter danger, even if he leads the army to encircle and annihilate such a group of rabbits running around, it is impossible to be so perfect.

Therefore, he only got a definite news from the mouth of the defeated general, the 30,000-strong army was wiped out under Yunnei City, but Zhang Shujie, who led the troops, ran back alive.
