Chapter 47: Infighting
Following. The big tent of the Chinese army on the banks of the Weishui River.
The Khan of Jieli paced hesitantly, waiting for the herald's return. Early in the morning, he ordered his subordinates to come to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss the next strategy against Tang. Whether it is to fight or to plunder.
According to the current situation, there are Tang Jun eyeing the outside and disputes among various tribes inside, although everything is within their own control, there are still many individuals who do not follow their wishes, in addition to making trouble, they also form a small circle in private, ready to start anew. Hmph, I'm going to take this opportunity today to give color to these guys who don't obey the group. If you don't speak up again, I'm afraid there will be changes!
"Report to the Khan! The chiefs, generals, and elders of the tribes are already waiting outside the tent to listen to your orders. The herald shouted at his throat.
"Let them in!" Jieli Khan said quietly.
"Order!" The herald turned and went out.
After leaning slightly, a group of Turkic guys with heads and faces dragged their steps and slowly walked into the big tent of the Chinese army.
"I've seen the Khan King!" The people bowed and bowed.
Jieli Khan waved his hand.
"Today, I invite you to come and discuss the next strategy against Li Tang! The stakes are high, so please consider carefully! Jieli Khan said seriously, and when he saw that many of the people below were from Lu Gelie's group, he was really refreshed in his heart and prepared to fight for a while.
"Khan, I think that the current situation is very good, the army is mighty and glorious, my tiger and wolf division, if I don't take Chang'an in one fell swoop now and take away the territory of the Tang Dynasty, when will I stay?" The righteous indignation of what the general said really stirred up a discussion in the already quiet tent. All parties are talking and arguing, and the noisy people have a pain in their brains. And the high-ranking Jieli Khan can't sit still, and there is no talk of it, and there is no result, if it has been like this, I am afraid that there will be no ugly thing to discuss today.
"Bang ......" the Khan's throne was slapped with a loud bang, followed by "Quiet! Jieli Khan shouted at the top of his throat, not only to let everyone shut down, but also to find a path for the following words, and prepare to point out the way, so that they can be old and pedantic, wake up and recognize the way.
"What a noise! If there is something, report it, here is a blind shout, wait for Li Tang's army to hit your nose before discussing? Jieli Khan said with some anger, and there was some anger between his words.
"You know what? How many Tang troops were ambushed around this Guanzhong Plain? Do you know why the news from the scouts in the city is all waste paper? Do you know why I don't agree with driving Chang'an directly and capturing Chang'an now? Jieli Khan threw out a bunch of questions, his voice was fierce, his words were sharp, and he was silent on the spot, all staring directly at the Khan on the stage. Although I don't know the whole truth, judging from the aggressive posture of Jieli Khan just now, it can be seen that the seriousness of the problem is not an ordinary matter.
"Please make it clear to the King of Khan!" A guy dressed as a patriarch stepped forward and asked Jieli Khan to tell why.
Jieli Khan did not reply directly, but seeing that the momentum was stable, he walked to his seat and sat down steadily.
"The return of the scouts sent before is not at all the way we agreed on the message delivery, and the code words and marks in it are all messed up, which means that these scouts exist in name only, and they are already controlled by the Tang Army! Second, why did the huge Li Tang Dynasty, the Gyeonggi stronghold, have less than 10,000 garrisons? What about so many elite soldiers? Haven't you all doubted it? They had already deployed these soldiers in formation and laid ambushes on various key roads. Third, what kind of armies did we encounter as we went south? There were some stragglers along the way, not to mention the defeat of the army, such a smooth attack, don't you have any doubts? Jieli Khan made these key pieces of news clear, hoping that those guys who are swaying from side to side can take advantage of the present to distinguish the current situation, and it can be regarded as destroying the arrogance of some two-hearted guys.
"I don't agree, if you don't fight at this time, will you have a chance in the future?" The person who spoke was a general, and he was determined to fight. For the fighter in front of him, he saw it clearly, if he delayed the opportunity any longer, I was afraid that as Yuan Tiangang said, the Turks only had ten years to live!
"Have you analyzed the situation in front of you? As I said earlier, there are ambushes all around, and we are already alone in the depths, and if we enter Li Tang's pocket, we will lose the battle; After the peace, we can not only ask for some money and food, but also get out of the way! "Jieli Khan once again made the situation clear.
"Khan! But it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Several people immediately agreed, that is, the exhortation was more of a forced palace.
"You're gambling with your people's lives!" Jieli Khan roared back, as if he didn't want to listen to these innocuous or main battle voices anymore. Now he is even more sure that this group of extremists is clearly betting with the lives of the entire Turkic army and even the entire people, and he will never agree to do so!
"You have gone your own way like this, delaying the development of the whole clan and missing this opportunity, what will we Turks do in the future?" Some stubborn elements still refused to give up, staring at Jieli Khan's side, bound to argue in this turmoil.
"Delaying development is not not not developing! And you insist on going your own way, burying the lives of the whole clan and the whole army, isn't it a joke to talk about development and the future? "Jieli Khan fights with reason, and does not give the main battle faction any chance to take advantage of it.
"Yes, yes, yes! …… Life is gone, what do you want to develop? Some people talked again, chirping crookedly in the spirit of life and opportunity, some of them were red-faced, some were splashing with spittle, and they were about to overwhelm each other, in short, it was as lively as a bazaar, and the noise that made people's scalps explode could be seen everywhere. It's a breath of fighting, but it's all about survival.
Jieli Khan did not dislike these words this time. On the contrary, he felt a little more comfortable, after all, the main arguments were inclined to his intentions. He is the will of the Lord and the preservation of life. No matter how noisy the sound is at the moment, it is a clarion call for encouragement for him, such as hearing the sound of killing before the army, it is so unpleasant. The guys of the main battle faction saw that the situation was wrong, but they couldn't intervene, and they were already on the verge of collapse.
And just when these guys were anxious like ants on a hot pot, Jieli Khan took the opportunity to stand up.
"The situation is clear to everyone. But what I'm going to say next is one thing that humiliates my people! "Jieli Khan straightened his body and decided to take down those who were going to set up another stove in one fell swoop. He looked at the guards in the distance and made a gesture. With a few clicks, several armored warriors poured out from all directions of the central military tent, controlling those people with lightning speed and tying them firmly.
Just when everyone was still surprised, all these things had been understood, and they didn't come back to their senses at all.
