So later that day, in the tent of the Eastern Turkic army, a military order issued by Shibi Khan himself was handed down in turn. In the military order, it was said that no matter what work was done before, all the people in the Eastern Turkic army must be incorporated into the combat establishment one by one, and after dinner that day, launch a night attack on Wuwei County. This battle can only be won and not defeated! If any of the chieftains fails, the taxes to be paid by the entire clan are doubled, and all the families of the chief's army are to be given a female slave.

As soon as this military order was issued, it caused an uproar in the military camps of the Eastern Turks. Some people are cursing this military order for being unreasonable and tyrannical, where is this military order? This is simply a death order to rush them to death! Others, however, felt that something was wrong, after all, although Shibi Khan was capricious in his treatment of the Sui Dynasty, he was still very merciful to the various tribes and groups on the steppe who were also nomads. If they said that this kind of unreasonable military order was issued by Shibi Khan himself, they would never believe it, but the seal printed on the military order was indeed carried by Shibi Khan.

So some people are thinking of the words that Jito asked Tuoba Shishu before he died a few days ago, and Shibi Khan has been really ill for a long time recently, but he doesn't ask about the military, so the military and political power at this time has fallen into the hands of Tuoba Shishu, and it cannot be ruled out that Tuoba Shishu stole the seal of Shibi Khan, and issued this military order in the name of Shibi Khan, which may make the army leaders under Shibi Khan and Shibi Khan separate from Germany.

These people approached Shibi Khan's younger brother, Philesth, hoping to get the answer they wanted. After hearing their questions, he sighed, shook his head, and said, "The Khan's condition has become more and more serious lately, and he has been awake less and less in recent days. A few days ago, a doctor was invited to diagnose Khan, and the doctor said that Khan's time may be numbered. So when the khan turned around, he was very eager to end the war. In his own words, even if he dies as a steppe man, he can't die in the Han territory south of the Great Wall, so I know that although it is difficult for you to accept this fact, this military order was indeed issued by Shibi Khan himself. For this reason, Tuoba Shishu also had a fierce conflict with Shibi Khan, if I hadn't interceded from it, Tuoba Shishu might have been dragged out and beheaded by Shibi Khan because of his disobedience to Shibi Khan's will. In desperation, Tuoba Shishu could only accept the instructions of Shibi Khan and issued this unreasonable military order. ”

After receiving the personal confirmation of Philescher, everyone also retreated in a huff. Since this military order was indeed issued by Shibi Khan, they had to faithfully carry it out even if it was no longer justified to fulfill the oath they had made in front of Shibi Khan and in the presence of the Immortal Heavens.

After the entire army was assembled, Tuoba Shishu also walked to the front of the military formation in full armor to inspect back and forth. Although his face was deliberately disguised, it was still difficult to hide the traces of being beaten on his face. These traces were formed by Tuoba Shi Shu in order to convince the leaders who had originally questioned the authenticity of this military order that he and the plan formulated by Liverfishe, he specially found someone to beat him to the flesh.

When those who received orders from Tuoba Shishu to ask those people to come and beat them up, he watched the whole thing happen from inside the tent. Tong Lifushi couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, although he still had some disdain for Tuoba Shishu in his heart, but he also had to admire Tuoba Shishu's investment in order to achieve his goal. In order to behave as much as possible like being beaten by the Khan, Tuoba Shishu strongly asked his guards to beat him as hard as possible, so those guards trembled their legs while clenching their fists and hitting Tuoba Shishu's face.

This man went crazy, and he really beat himself.

The benefits of this were obvious, though, though the leaders who saw the traces cast the same sympathetic glances at Tuoba Shishu as Philoshim. However, unlike the sympathy mixed with some strange meanings, the sympathetic gazes of those leaders were obviously complaining for Tuoba Shishu. After all, these scars of Tuoba Shishu are traces left in order to fight for the interests of these leaders in front of Shibi Khan, so there are many small leaders who were originally neutral and secretly stand on the side of Tuoba Shishu, and the leaders who were originally a little disgusted with Tuoba Shishu have dissipated a lot of boredom in their hearts at this time.

"Warriors, I know that many of you have the same reaction as I did when you received the Khan's order, and you all had a hard time accepting it. But we all swore allegiance to the Khan under the witness of the Immortal Heaven Tengri, so even if the Khan asked us to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, we must not say a word. So no matter how bizarre this military order is, then we have to carry it out. So may Tengger bless the most loyal warriors of the steppe, and the warriors will follow me. Let those Han people who only know how to hide behind the city walls and tremble, see our unstoppable iron horses. Tuoba Shishu wandered in front of the formation for a while, and then he spoke out to encourage the Eastern Turkic soldiers in the formation.

"What you say is true? Did the Eastern Turks not join forces with Liang Shidu's army, but chose to attack us alone? Zhuang Fudi had just served the rice bowl at this time, and before he had time to eat, he was shocked by the news brought by the military lord in front of him, and then asked again in disbelief.

"It's true, Chief of Staff. At this time, our defending troops on the front line should have exchanged fire with the Turks, and now they should be able to resist for a while by relying on the advantage of muskets, but the Turks are pouring out this time, and it is estimated that they may not be able to hold out for long without reinforcements. The military lord nodded and said to Zhuang Fudi.

After Zhuang Fudi heard this, he nodded, and then put the rice bowl in his hand on the table. When Zhuang Fudi got up and was about to leave, he took advantage of the military owl's inattention to pick up the rice bowl violently, and hurriedly took the opportunity to take a few bites before following the military owl out of his residence.
