At the same time, in order to clear his suspicions, the timing of the poisoning of the dead soldiers by Duji was specially chosen when the Qimin Khan attended the banquet of the Tiele Ministry. In this way, even if it is revealed, the person who poisoned it can be said to be a member of the Tiele Division.

However, the course went smoothly after that, and sure enough, as Behrham depicted, Shibi Khan was poisoned and died shortly after. However, the symptoms are similar to those of a serious illness that would not be treated. No one suspected him.

Just when he was ecstatic, the envoys of the Sui Dynasty, Goryeo, and Western Turks came at the same time, which made him feel in a dilemma.

In fact, what Du Ji wanted most was to form an alliance with the Western Turks, and at the same time maintain a good relationship with the Sui Dynasty. After you have stabilized and strengthened, you can defeat these two opponents.

Therefore, he invited Bonham to come and discuss the alliance.

But he never expected that the envoys of the Sui Dynasty and Goryeo also came at the same time, which caught him a little off guard.

But in the current situation, he must have to choose one of the two between the Western Turks and the Sui Dynasty. Both sides were forcing him to make a decision, which disrupted his original plan and left him at a loss as to what to do.

At this time, one of the guards hurriedly reported: "Khan! Lord Chura is here! ”

After hearing this, Du Ji's spirit suddenly perked up, and he waved his hand and said, "Let him come in!" ”

The other younger brother of Duji was a who, unlike the average Turkic nobleman, did not like to fight, but preferred business. And he is good at calculation, good at weighing the interests of all parties, and among the several sons of the Khan of Qimin, he has the most tricks. Therefore, Du Ji also relied on him a lot, and regarded this brother as his own brain.

In the future, Du Ji planned to appoint Chu Luo as the trade envoy of the Eastern Turks, and was fully responsible for trade and tax collection with the Great Sui, Western Turks, Goryeo and other countries.

"What do you think of the current situation?" Shibi Khan hurriedly asked.

After Chu Luo knelt down and sat down, he chuckled, "Is the eldest brother embarrassed by the sudden arrival of the envoy of the Sui Dynasty?" ”

"It's really difficult! The Western Turks have already put a lot of pressure on me to give them an answer tomorrow, and although the Sui Dynasty did not ask me to express my position immediately, it is estimated that sooner or later it will also make this request. I'm in a dilemma! Shibi Khan sighed.

Jieli grunted at this time: "I guess Yang Guang has heard a little wind, so he hurriedly sent Changsun Wuji to come." They want us to break off the idea of an alliance with the Western Turks. ”

Chu Luo nodded and said, "This must be one of the reasons. But more importantly, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty is now bent on destroying Goryeo, and I heard that he is already preparing for his first expedition to Liaodong. This time, I sent Changsun Wuji to come, I am afraid that he wanted us to send troops to attack Goryeo from the west. This is also the reason why Gaisu hurried over as well. They arrived at the same time as Birham, just a coincidence......"

At this time, Jieli frowned and said, "Big brother, have you thought about it?" How could Yang Guang know that we were going to form an alliance with the Western Turks? Only a few people know about this, but he knows about it thousands of miles away, which is a bit strange! ”

"What's so strange about that?" Chu Luo said coldly: "Except for Princess Yicheng, who else can know the secret and reveal the news to the people of the Sui Dynasty?"

There was a sudden silence in the big tent, after all, Princess Yicheng was the new Kedun now.

After a long time, Shibi Khan snorted heavily, "If Yang Lihua dares to report to the people of the Sui Dynasty and leak the secret, I will let her also die of a violent illness!" ”

"So be it! Khan, let me go to the Western Turks' tooth tent! This Bohan probably doesn't make sense. We can only talk directly to the Khan of the Sui Dynasty and ask him to understand the Khan's difficulties, and after the envoys of the Sui Dynasty are gone, we will formally sign the alliance. ”

Shibi Khan pondered for a moment, secretly thinking that now he can only do this, he is not yet in the position of Khan, whether it is the Western Turks or the Sui Dynasty, he can't afford to offend.

So, he had to nod helplessly and said, "Okay! You go and get ready right away. Let's leave early tomorrow morning! ”

After Chu Luo retreated, Shibi Khan only felt more irritable in his heart, and he always had a premonition that something big was about to happen. He realized that he had made a mistake and that he should have gathered all the forces he could control in his tent.

Otherwise, if the Tiele tribe suddenly attacked the tent, I am afraid that he would be in critical condition. Even if he can escape, his strength will be greatly damaged, and it is difficult to say whether he will be able to sit firmly in the position of Khan at that time. Shibi Khan felt a little remorseful in his heart, and felt that he should not be in a hurry, especially not to get close to the Western Turks.

He originally wanted to appease the Great Sui while befriending the Western Turks, leaving the left and right, and letting both sides come to curry favor with him. But he forgot that if he wants to be left and right, he must have strong strength. If the strength is not enough, it may become an offense for both sides. And the Western Turks are not a good type, and in the end, he became the first to sacrifice.

While Shibi Khan and the Eastern Turkic nobles were panicking, Yuming began to act.

……

After nightfall, several elite Sui soldiers dressed in black night clothes lurked on the periphery of the Western Turks' tents, all of them covered their heads and faces with black cloths, revealing only a pair of eyes.

Each of them held a crossbow, a repeater fired from a bracket that fired from a short distance, but with a very fast rate, at least twice as fast as a normal short bow. Moreover, the arrows are small, and if you put wolf tooth arrows in the same quiver, you may only be able to hold ten arrows. It can be loaded with this repeating crossbow arrow, but it can be loaded with one. This kind of hard crossbow is most suitable for this kind of night sneak attack.

Yu Ming walked at the forefront of the sneak attack troops, he measured the distance visually, and then looked at the situation of the Western Turkic camp opposite, and said to Lin Mo beside him: "Mo, are you ready?" ”

"General, you're ready!" Lin Mo licked his chapped lips and said, "Our arrows are coated with powerful anesthetic, as long as the enemy is hit by an arrow and bleeds, it will immediately lose its combat effectiveness. ”

"Hmmm! Thanks to the busy whole day, the Dream Girl finally prepared two large vats of anesthetic. And the effect is so wonderful, it's really not a loss to be the heir of the medicine king! Yu Ming couldn't help but sigh.

"In fact, with the ability of the Dream Girl, it is not a problem to prepare the poison that seals the throat with blood, but it is a pity that she abides by the teacher's training and resolutely refuses to prepare the poison, otherwise we will have a greater chance of success in this attack!" Lin Mo said with regret.

"That's it! Now everything is ready, just wait for Tuli to come! Yu Mingmi raised his eyes and looked at the gate of the Western Turks' big camp.

At the same time, on the other side of the Western Turk camp, in a wooded area five miles away, more than five Eastern Turk soldiers were densely gathered. They seem to be anxiously waiting for something.

After a short time, one of the scouts hurried into the woods and said to Tuli: "Young master, the Western Turks are resting in the camp, and they are not well guarded, and there seems to be a woman's voice in the tent of Bohan. ”

"Hehe, this is the opportunity we were waiting for." Tuli laughed and said, "Brothers, get on the horse!" Take up your weapons! Let's give those bastards in the west a little color! Let them know that we are the strongest warriors in the steppe, and we are the real royal family of the Turks! ”

These Eastern Turkic soldiers were all Turkish soldiers and were loyal to Ashina. They were also the most well-equipped among the Turks.

After receiving the order to attack, they immediately put on their helmets, raised their sabers, and under the leadership of Tuli, rushed towards the Western Turkic camp five miles away.

Inside the tent, Bonham and his concubines were in the tent when they heard the dull sound of horses' hooves coming from a distance. He was a little strange that when he came to the camp so late, there was an immediate uproar outside the tent, and many soldiers shouted.

"What happened?"

He got dressed and was about to go out to ask what was going on, when a soldier with a bloodied face rushed in and shouted, "Lord Bohan, something is wrong! The Eastern Turks have slaughtered them, all of them are well-equipped elite cavalry, estimated to be more than five, and they are already about to rush to our camp! ”

Bonham took a closer look and saw that this man was the camp's scout captain.

He was so angry that he slapped the scout captain twice, and shouted, "Did you grow up eating dry rice?" How did you find out now? ”

The scout captain spat out a mouthful of blood, with two teeth inside.

He was aggrieved in his heart, thinking that we were originally an envoy group, and we were located in the important place of the Eastern Turks, if the Eastern Turks really wanted to deal with their own group, even if they sent all the soldiers out as scouts, it would be useless, what if they found out in time? Can you run away?

"How far are they from our camp?" Bonham asked hurriedly, calculating that if it wasn't close, he could at least organize the people in the camp to resist for a while.

"I saw them when I went out to pee and saw them at the time...... They are only a mile from our camp...... I don't know why, I ...... All the scouts I sent out were ...... Didn't come back! The scout captain stammered his face with pain.

"! Get out of here! Quick, tell everyone to prepare to meet the enemy! Duji, this bastard actually turned his face! Bonham exclaimed angrily.

He knew very well that mileage was nothing more than a matter of tea for the sprinting steppe cavalry, and the best way to deal with a surprise attack was to close the camp gate first, let his own archers hide behind the fence and shoot some of the enemy, and then let the others mount to meet the resistance. But now the soldiers in the camp have just fallen asleep. It would be nice for them to be able to get dressed and take up arms when the enemy arrives. Getting them to assemble in a formation is simply not going to do.

"This is really out of the way! You want to fight with us...... How many benefits did those Sui people promise him to make him do such crazy things? Berham said angrily as he hurried out of the tent and stepped onto the horse that his own soldiers had brought with him.
