Ashnasimo was really desperate.

Winter is the taboo of marching, especially for the grassland peoples, which means that countless cattle and sheep will become military food and will be consumed. And even if the Tang army's defense on the front line of the Great Wall is not impregnable, it is definitely not something that can be captured by the Xue Yantuo people under the cold and freezing.

What is the war fought for?

The purpose of the Han people is very different from that of the Hu people.

The Han people were always well fed, and they fought more often for those so-called ambitions, ideals, and ambitions. The Han people have a deep obsession with the great unification, but all the heroes who want to make a difference will take the great unification as their most noble goal, ambush millions of corpses, blood and pestle, just for the history of brilliant, the name of the history of the annals.

This is not the case with the Hu people.

It can be said that the purpose of most of the wars of the Hu people is to survive.

Either you live on your own, or you live on your tribe.

The environment of the grassland is really too harsh, a snowstorm may destroy all a tribe, and strengthening their tribe and obtaining enough food has become something that every tribal leader must do.

The Hu people don't care about land, they don't care about cities, they don't even care about wealth, they only care about population and food.

Therefore, plundering has become a habit in the bones of the Hu people......

Xue Yantuo braved the taboo of the winter march, gave up countless cattle and sheep, and crossed the vast sandy plains in the south of the desert to arrive at Baidaochuan.

Ashina Simo understands that they not only intend to make peace with the Tang Dynasty, but also take a fancy to the fertile land of Baidaochuan, compared to the desolate Mobei, the water and grass here are too abundant, every time spring comes, the land is like a huge green carpet, the meadow stretches to the horizon, the soaring river water moistens every inch of land, and the cattle and sheep can chase the water and grass unscrupulously, each fat and healthy......

However, this is the last territory of the Turks.

If you want to occupy this place, you must expel the Turks, but the Turks have no way to retreat, one step back is the Great Wall, and behind the Great Wall is the homeland of the Han people, even if all the defenders of the Great Wall are dead, the Han people will never allow the Turks to step into their homeland for half a step.

The Turks had no choice but to fight to the death if they wanted to keep their land.

But where is the weak Turkic at the moment the opponent of the strong Xue Yantuo?

So, this is a real battle to the death, a battle to the death......

In Ashnasmo's view, this is a dead end.

Since Zhao Deyan said that he could point out a way to life for the Turks, what else could Ashina Simo hesitate about?

Left and right are just deaths......

"Please give me advice!"

"Hehe, the old man has lived for revenge all his life, and he is determined to destroy the Turkic country, but he never thought that before he died, he wanted to come all the way from Yu Dujun Mountain to Dingxiang in order for the remnants of the Turks to survive, it is really impermanent...... Zhao Deyan was quite emotional, shook his head and sighed, and muttered.

The corners of Ashina Simo's eyes jumped, and he had to say: "The younger generation is sure that there is no malice towards the Turks now, at least he has let go of his hatred, and he no longer seems to have the intention of dying with the Turks." But the younger generation also knows that you will never plan for the Turks with good intentions, even if you let go of your hatred, if the Turks are dead, you are still happy to see it...... The younger generation does not delve into what you are planning, even if it is to use the Turks, the younger generation is willing, and only asks you to show a way out for the sake of the friendship between the younger generation and the father and son. ”

"Hey!"

Zhao Deyan narrowed his eyes, looked at Ashina Simo with displeasure, and scolded: "You kid was very clever when he was young, how can you be so stupid as you get?" Smart people, see through or not say through, everything is in tacit understanding, that is the highest state. ”

A disappointment of "children can't be taught".

Ashina Simo scratched his beard and said with a wry smile: "How many pounds and taels is the boy, dare to speculate on your thoughts in front of you?" Don't sell it, the younger generation now has no master of the six gods, please ask Mr. for guidance! ”

Zhao Deyan shook his head, pondered for a while, and asked: "The old man said bluntly, the Turks are already dead, how can it be so easy to survive in the delusional life?" The old man is not a god, but he has an idea, but he does not dare to guarantee that the Turks will be able to escape unscathed. There will always be losses, but I don't know if you can bear it? ”

Ashina Simo's eyelids jumped more and more, weighed it, and asked rhetorically, "Most of them can survive?" ”

Zhao Deyan said proudly: "That's natural, otherwise you think that the old decay came thousands of miles in the wind and snow, just to collect the corpses of the Turks?" ”

Weigh it in your heart, in fact, there is nothing to weigh, either die, or die part but some can survive, what else do you need to weigh?

Ashnasimo said categorically: "Please advise Mr.!" ”

Then he sat up straight, prostrate in front of Zhao Deyan, threw himself to the ground, and said loudly: "If the Turks can preserve their bloodline, the descendants of the Turks from generation to generation will regard Mr. as a benefactor. ”

Zhao Deyan ignored his oath and said happily: "Who is rare for the gratitude of your Turks? If it were only for the Turks, the old decay would not have come here...... There is no need to be grateful, you should remember the great enemy of the Turkic Khanate and become the enemy of the Turks, that is a more pleasant thing......"

*****

A group of cavalry marched through the snow on the pass.

The snow is quite heavy, the pass road is covered with snow, the cavalry all dismount and walk, a hundred steps and nine folds, the left and right cliffs are like cutting, the situation is precipitous, until the pass is in front of the pass, it stops.

The knight at the head lifted the mask on his face, raised a pair of thick eyebrows, and looked up at the pass standing in front of him in the snow.

"There are nine stops in the world, and Yanmen is the head."

This is Yanmen Pass!

Xiongguan is surrounded by mountains and dangers, high among the mountains. The mountains on the east and west flanks are undulating, and the Great Wall on the ridge winds majestically, even when covered with snow, you can see the momentum of the clouds. There are two gates of east and west on the gate, all of which are stacked with huge bricks, passing through the clouds through the geese, and the magnanimity is high.

There is a city tower built on the gate, towering in the sky, overlooking the world.

If you are a husband, you can't open it!

Someone on the city tower has already seen this team of no less than 1,000 cavalry, just because it is from the south, the Hu people will never bypass the Great Wall moat and turn behind the Yanmen Pass, so they did not ignite the beacon fire, but there are still soldiers on the tower of the pass out of the sheath and arrows on the winding, ready for battle.

A captain with a red-tasseled helmet on his head leaned over the pass, condescending, and shouted, "Who is coming?" ”

The leading knight did not speak, and a sturdy general beside him replied loudly: "It's Huating Hou, the left attendant of the General of the Right Tun Guard, Lang Fang Jun!" ”

Captain Guan froze slightly.

In the north, Xue Yantuo's army was approaching Dingxiang, Shuozhou was in an emergency, and the imperial court sent Fang Jun to lead the right guard to Shuozhou's battle report had naturally arrived.

"Please show the token!"

Even if he knows that it must be Fang Jun under the pass, there is no doubt that the military law is strict, and the procedures must not be slackened in the slightest.

After closing it, Fang Jun took out half of the tiger talisman from his arms and handed it to Gao Kan.

Gao Kan took it, held it in his hand, and then threw the talisman towards the gate with all his might, and with great strength, the bronze tiger talisman flew towards the mouth of the trench accurately, aiming at the captain's face.

The lieutenant was not in a hurry, he caught the tiger talisman flying towards his face, took a closer look at it in front of him, and ordered loudly: "Quickly open and close the door to greet him!" ”

"No!"

The soldier hurriedly agreed, and then hurried down the stone steps on one side to the pass, and struggled to push open the heavy gate.

"Squeak"

There was a tooth-aching sound, and the door was slammed open.

The lieutenant walked out of the doorway quickly, knelt on one knee, and said, "I haven't seen Master Hou!" ”

Fang Jun threw the reins of the horse to the soldiers behind him, bowed his head slightly, hummed, and asked, "Where is the Shuozhou guard general Yu Wenfa?" ”

The lieutenant replied respectfully: "Back to the Hou Ye, General Yuwen is sitting in Shuozhou to prevent the Xue Yantuo people from going south. ”

"Can Ashina Simo arrive in Dingxiang? Where is Xue Wanche, the general of the Right Guard, now? ”

"The two generals both went out of the customs five days ago, General Xue led the right military guard to garrison Shuozhou, and General Ashina arrived in Dingxiang two days ago."

Fang Jun bowed his head and said, "Get up, prepare hot water, food and fodder, and after a short rest, Ben Shuai will go to Shuozhou immediately." ”

The lieutenant was slightly stunned, and did not dare to get up, but said boldly: "Back to Hou Ye, General Yuwen has an order, after Hou Ye arrives at Yanmen Pass, he can be stationed on the spot." Shuozhou City is small, and there is already a large army of the Right Guard, and I am afraid that it will not be able to accommodate the tens of thousands ......of soldiers and horses of the Right Guard."

"Presumptuous! Hou Ye was ordered to go out of the customs, carrying the imperial sword and tiger talisman, stationed in the northern Xinjiang, to guard against the barbarians, but he ate the leopard and dared to obstruct the Hou Ye from the customs? ”

Gao Kan glared angrily and scolded sharply!

The lieutenant hurriedly said: "It's not that the last general is arrogant, it's really General Yuwen's military order, and the last general won't dare to disobey it!" ”

Fang Jun was expressionless, standing with his hands in his hands, without saying a word.

The wind is howling, and the goose-featherlike snowflakes are swirling and flying in the open space before the gate, making people dizzy, and it seems that the hook mountains on both sides are majestic and majestic, and the peaks are tall!

In the cold and biting weather, the captain lowered his head and did not dare to raise it, swallowed hard, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his body......
