Luo Yi had sent a letter of help to Jieli Khan before he died, although he died, but Jieli Khan was not idle, he immediately sent his nephew to attack the army south, intending to avenge the revenge of the original son Ah Dingyuanzhai! After receiving the military report, Chen Ling did not dare to slack off, hurriedly packed his bags and led the army to the north overnight, preparing to meet the enemy.

After the soldiers and horses were assembled, all the generals thought that Chen Ling would order the eastward march to relieve the siege of the states and counties attacked by the Turks, but Chen Ling ordered the soldiers and horses to go north to the desert. The generals were puzzled, is this Chen Ling exaggerated, how can he resist the Turks if he doesn't lead his troops to relieve the siege? All the generals ran to the camp to question Chen Ling what his intentions were.

Chen Ling saw that the generals were full of doubts, and said unhurriedly: "If we go to relieve the siege of those states and counties, it is a long way to go, and when we arrive, maybe those states and counties have already been lost, what is the point of us going?" Moreover, we have become a tired army on the way, and if we fight against the Turks, they will wait for their work, how can we be sure of victory? Labor is far away, this is the next policy. Now we are deliberately going north to attack the nest of the Turks with great fanfare, and when the Turks learn the news, how can they not save them? If we attack their lair, they will return to their rescue, so that not only will we be able to relieve the siege of those states and counties, but we will also be able to take the initiative. This is a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao. Only then did the generals know Chen Ling's intention to lead his troops north, and they all admired it.

Sure enough, as Chen Ling expected. When Jieli learned that the main force of the Han army was heading straight for their Turkic lair, he hurriedly ordered the Turks to stop the southern invasion and lead the army back to the rescue, and the two armies held each other in Wuhai. Chen Ling knew that in a head-to-head confrontation, the Han army could hardly be the opponent of the Turkic cavalry, and the Turkic spirit must be consumed first. Therefore, he ordered the Han army not to fight, but to hold on and wait for the opportunity.

In the blink of an eye, autumn and winter came, the two sides were deadlocked, the Han army was on an expedition, and grain and grass became a big problem, especially in the cold climate in the north, most of the Han army were from the Central Plains, and it was difficult for the body to adapt, and the number of sick people in the army gradually increased, if it could not win quickly, the situation would become more and more severe. However, as the commander of the Turkic front, Tuli was also very cunning, and when he saw that the Han army did not fight, he closed the gate and started a war of attrition with the Han army.

On this day, Chen Ling asked the people to come to the Shuai camp to discuss the method of breaking the enemy. Due to the Turks' favorable position at the right time, it was difficult to win quickly. Just when everyone was at a loss and helpless, I saw a young officer calmly bow forward and say, "Commander, the general has a plan." Chen Ling felt surprised, he looked the officer up and down, and saw that this person was handsome and powerful, his eyes were like electricity, but his face was very raw. At this time, an adjutant general scolded loudly: "Cheng Liang, this is the Shuai battalion, how can you have the right to speak as a junior officer, don't retreat quickly!"

It turned out that the young officer's name was Cheng Liang, and he was a young staff officer. He followed his commander into the camp and saw that everyone could do nothing about the Turks, so he came out and offered a bold plan. Cheng Liang was reprimanded by the chief, and his face turned slightly red. Chen Ling waved his hand and asked with a smile, "What plan do you have?" Cheng Liang saw that the marshal was not to blame, and said excitedly: "A few days ago, when the last general was patrolling the military camp, he caught a Turkic detail, and under strict interrogation, the detailer revealed that the Turkic grain route was transported to Wuhai through the Golden Tooth Mountain."

Hearing this, Chen Ling's eyes lit up, yes, if he could cut off his food channel, then Tuli would definitely be chaotic without a fight. Cheng Liang continued: "If the marshal is willing to let me bring 3,000 soldiers, prepare more bows and arrows, and ambush them on both sides of the Golden Tooth Mountain, and suddenly attack when his grain cart passes. If the Turks lose their food and grass, their morale will be weakened, and then the commander will lead the army to attack and win a complete victory. Chen Ling clapped his hands and praised: "Good plan! I will give you 3,000 elite soldiers, and I will set out at once, so that I can fight quickly. Cheng Liang didn't expect Chen Ling to trust him so much, he was overjoyed, got the order, and led the people away.

The lieutenant general next to him asked puzzledly: "Marshal, is it too rash to entrust such a heavy task to a hairy boy?" Chen Ling shook his head and said meaningfully: "Previously, the Central Plains army, including the Tang Army, every time they mentioned fighting with the Turks, why did the generals retreat and dare not fight? That's because after many years of hearing and seeing, the generals have been frightened and timid before they have even set out to fight, and even the best plan will not help. I saw that this man was calm and relaxed, and since he dared to fight, I expected that the Turks would be defeated with a little trickery. The generals suddenly realized.......

Cheng Liang led 3,000 elite soldiers day and night, and returned to Golden Tooth Mountain without realizing it. Cheng Liang looked around, the Golden Tooth Mountain was steep, which was conducive to ambush, and he found out from the mouth of the fine work that the Turkic grain cart would pass here at noon tomorrow, so he ordered the soldiers to quietly climb the Golden Tooth Mountain.

Unexpectedly, that night, the weather changed suddenly, and it was snowing heavily, and the soldiers could only hide in a sheltered place and huddle together in order to avoid the cold. By the next morning, the snow had stopped, the mountain wind was blowing, and a layer of ice had formed on the ground. Cheng Liang walked out of the camp tent and wanted to patrol around, when suddenly, the herald ran out of breath and reported: "General, the big thing is not good!" Cheng Liang said calmly: "Don't worry, what's wrong?" The herald replied, "It was cold last night, and the bowstring was frozen so hard that it could not be pulled at all." Cheng Liang waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go and have a look."

When they reached a leeward place, they saw that the snow was full of bows, and several powerful soldiers were desperately pulling the bowstring, but the bowstring did not move. Cheng Liang couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw it, he secretly thought, without a bow and arrow, how can he break the enemy? The herald whispered beside him, "I think the only way to do this is to make a fire on the mountain."

"No way!" Cheng Liang shook his head and said, "Once a fire is lit, there must be smoke, does this not know that there is an ambush on the mountain to tell the Turks?" The herald sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's impossible to thaw in a short time."

"What should I think of?" Cheng Liang fell into deep thought. If you lose this battle, your future will be small, and the intentions of the Han army will be exposed, and it will be even more difficult to break the enemy at that time. Unconsciously, Cheng Liang walked under a tree, and unconsciously heard a neighing sound of horses in his ears. He looked up and saw that it was the war horse he was riding. After a night of wind and snow, the horse's farrier was frozen and unable to move, and it appeared restless, so it kept neighing.

Cheng Liang was about to step forward to help the war horse remove the ice from the shoe, when the war horse sprinkled a bubble of horse urine, and the urine happened to fall on the shoe. Something strange happened, and the ice on the farrier melted away with a drench of hot urine. Seeing this, Cheng Liang was stunned at first, and then nodded understandingly.

Cheng Liang called the herald, and he ordered the whole army that before noon, all soldiers were not allowed to pee, and violators would be dealt with by military law. After this peculiar order was issued, the soldiers felt inexplicable, people have three urgencies, no one can hold back, how can there be no reason not to pee! Despite the complaints, the soldiers were afraid of military law and had to endure it.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Cheng Liang ordered the frozen bows to be lined up, and let the soldiers who had been holding back for a long time pee on the frozen bowstrings one by one. For a while, I only listened to the sound of dripping in my ears. Sure enough, those frozen bowstrings were pulled apart at once, and the soldiers were amazed by Cheng Liang's clever moves.

The Turks' grain trucks arrived as scheduled, and they never imagined that the Han army would ambush them in the mountains. Cheng Liang gave an order, and thousands of arrows were fired on the mountain, and the Turks were caught off guard, leaving the grain carts and fleeing for their lives, and the Han army took the opportunity to burn all the grain carts.

When Tuli learned that the grain wagon had been destroyed, there was no food left in the army, so he had the idea of retreating. I didn't want Chen Ling to set up an ambush plan on all sides, and the Turks were defeated in this battle, and only the Turks led some soldiers to flee back to the royal court in embarrassment.
