"So what should we do now? In any case, the successive defeats in the battles have dealt a great blow to the morale of our army, and some unforeseen things may happen if we don't want to do it again. Ashina Gulphosheth said.

Ashina Ligfisheth is the son of Qimin Khan Ashina Dyingan, and the younger brother of the current Khan Shibi Khan Ashina Dujishi, and at this time he is also the most prestigious and most supportive person in addition to Shibi Khan, so when Ashina Lifusheth spoke, the camp tent that was originally a little riotous was quiet, and everyone looked at Ashina Lushith and Tuoba Shishu.

Tuoba Shishu nodded, bowed slightly to Liversher and said, "As you said, our army can't afford to lose more than once, so my proposal is that we no longer storm the Great Wall defense line in front of us, but turn to the east, join forces with Liang Shidu, cross the Great Wall from Liang Shidu, and attack Wuwei County from the east. ”

He nodded and said, "I support Tuoba Shishu's opinion, instead of wasting his troops in front of him in the Great Wall defense line in front of him, which has no gain even if he captures it, it is better to turn to the east and directly find a way to threaten Li Wenyuan's hinterland." ”

"I don't agree, Master Liang can even sell his ancestors, what else can't be done? I am categorically opposed to exposing our rear to such people. A tribal leader stood up against it.

If Shibi Khan is here, he can still use the majesty he has accumulated for a long time to forcibly suppress some people's dissenting opinions, but Tuoba Shishu does not have this ability, and as a Hu man from the Western Regions, he inherited his father's position, and his father Shi Shu Hu Xi also offended a lot of people because of some tough measures when he was in power, and at this time he was looking for an opportunity to put on small shoes for Tuoba Shishu, not to mention cooperating with Tuoba Shishu.

Tuoba Shishu did not express his position, so several more chiefs of the tribe stood up against Tuoba Shishu's eastward expansion strategy. Some of them didn't want to embarrass Tuoba Shishu, but just wanted to withdraw their troops, after all, this kind of battle was for these small tribes that were originally relatively sparse in number, and the previous battle had already damaged their muscles and bones, not to mention that they did not get the reward they were satisfied with after paying such heavy casualties, so at this time, the chiefs of these small tribes had the idea of retreating.

Tuoba Shi Shu sat in the middle of the tent and did not say anything, and he also sat on the side absentmindedly drinking the milk tea that Li Wenyuan dumped into the grassland, this magical drink has appeared and directly swept the entire grassland, and the heavy taste specially blended for the grassland people has made these grassland people give up the traditional buttermilk and choose this emerging drink.

Tuoba Shi Shu saw that the quarrel in the camp was almost over, and the leaders of several factions were also revealed at this time, so he clapped his hands and said: "Okay, leaders, I have a general understanding of your thoughts, I will re-evaluate the gains and losses of the eastward advance, and you should not make a big fuss about this, today's deliberations are here, I will report to the Great Khan one by one." ”

After the people in the camp were almost gone, Tuoba Shishu motioned to the subordinates on the side to withdraw as well, and then stood up and came to the camp tent to sit upright in the camp and said: "Today, these people are frightened by those two fires, and it is really a shame for the grassland people. ”

"This can't be blamed on them, the kind of water that can't be extinguished in the sky is really shocking." Liversh said.

"But we have to find a way to get rid of these people who oppose the eastward expansion, and we will not be able to carry out the next step without the eastward expansion." Tuoba Shi Shu said with some concern.

"There are times when we have to purge our internal enemies in order to defeat the enemies that are waiting on our outside." Liversh said lightly.

"Then when will you deal with Shibi Khan? Why don't you just forget it on the way east, so as not to have many dreams at night, and maybe what will happen in the end? Tuoba Shishu said.

"You said big brother, don't worry, he must die under the city of Wuwei County and bear the responsibility for the defeat in this southward battle, otherwise we won't be able to give an explanation to those who support us to continue the war." Liversh said.

"My subordinates understood." Tuoba Shi Shu said.

"You just have to do things boldly and boldly, as for the army they brought with them, there are not many left, I will deal with them." Tong Lifu gave Tuoba Shi Shu a reassuring pill.

After Tuoba Shishu got the assurance of Plivosher, when he understood what he should do, so after sending him away, Tuoba Shishu called the soldiers he brought from the Western Regions, explained them some things, and then let them leave.

"We have offended Tuoba Shishu today, and we don't know how he is going to make things difficult for us." Several small leaders who led the opposition to the eastward march gathered together and said.

"Whatever, if it weren't for the Great Khan's ill health, where would he be able to point fingers at us?"

"But after all, he was personally appointed by the Great Khan to serve as the temporary commander of the army, if we are arranged to attack the city tomorrow and send us to death, we can't help but go, it is estimated that he is waiting for us not to go, so as to catch us on the charge of disobedience and cowardice."

"Otherwise, we will simply evacuate with the troops overnight and go back to the grassland, we can only die in vain here, and my wife and children are still waiting for me to go back."

"Alas, forget it, let's take a look tomorrow, if we lead the troops to retreat, it is estimated that the Khan will lead the troops to level our entire tribe at the instigation of Tuoba Shishu, let's see the move."

"That's right, let's disperse, let's talk about it tomorrow."

The next day the guards of these men opened the curtains and tried to go in and wake them up, and they saw the corpses of these men, all with blades stuck in their chests, and the blood stained the woolen blanket under them.

These people's own soldiers also knew a thing or two about Tuoba Shishu and their contradictions, so they rushed to Tuoba Shishu's camp with swords and guns, but on the way they were all arrested by the ambush soldiers arranged by Liverfishe, and they were all pushed out of the barracks and executed on the charge of rebellion.

These pro-soldiers are almost the hardcore supporters of those people, and after being disposed of by Liversh, the army of those people no longer has the backbone, and obediently put down the weapons in their hands and prepare to be absorbed by Liversheh and Tuoba Shishu.

However, Shibi Khan did not know anything about these things, he did not know that his most relied on personal soldiers had betrayed him under the money offensive of Philosher, and he naturally did not know that the power of the Khan in his hands was slowly draining.
