The 30,000 Turks divided into two groups and entered the deep mountains, and the direction of their advance was the direction of Jiucheng Palace, and their purpose was not to go to the top of the mountain to barbecue or anything.

Therefore, Su Dingfang believes that as long as he puts enough pressure on the other party moderately, then the other party should only have two choices.

First, in order to complete the task and speed up the march, it is better to die some people on the road than to rush to the destination and carry the mission on.

Second, turn around and go back, after all, it has only been two days since they entered this primeval jungle, and the way back has already been opened, if they really want to retreat, they will be able to get out in less than a day.

As for the third, Su Dingfang didn't think about it.

Because if the third really happens, it will be the complete collapse of the Turks, turning into a mass of scattered sand, crumbling in the jungle.

In this way, a situation will be formed in which you have me and I have you, and then it will be a chaotic war, and it will be useless to think about it and arrange it.

War is like a gamble, no one knows what kind of hole cards the other side has and what choices they will make until the cards are drawn.

Su Dingfang is gambling, betting that the other party will definitely turn back, because their whereabouts have been discovered, and there is no point in going any further, rather than being completely wiped out in front, it is better to retain the vitality and go back and redo the plan.

Toller was not a famous general, nor was he a wise man, and his thinking would not go beyond the scope of a normal person, so he chose to retreat.

'Bloodthirsty Fangs' are here, which means that their actions have been discovered, and these killing gods are only warnings, and the lack of slaughter indicates that they should be understaffed.

But now there are not enough manpower, it does not mean that there are still not enough manpower at the Jiucheng Palace, the 15,000 people who have been found to be whereabouts, if they go further, it is equivalent to the time to mobilize manpower for the 'Bloodthirsty Fangs', and when they arrive at the predetermined position, it is estimated that the manpower of the 'Bloodthirsty Fangs' will also be in place.

There is no doubt that you will die if you move forward, and there is a glimmer of life in retreat, this is a very simple multiple-choice question, and any normal person knows how to choose. As for breaking the team into zero, I'm sorry, the Turks don't have a compass, and if they don't have a guide after breaking it into zero, it's really zero.

Based on these considerations, Tohler chose to retreat.

Of course, he had also considered another team led by Ashina Simo, but now he was unable to protect himself, and it was difficult for him to take care of another group of people.

Rushing to the predetermined place to die, turning around and going home, it should be understandable to live one, such a choice is not uncommon on the grassland, and Ashina Simo, who looks like a Hu person, should not have other ideas.

With this attitude in mind, Toller chose to retreat, not even the corpses of the dead warriors, and the hurried rear team turned into the front team, and rushed like mad in the direction from which he came.

"General, the Turks have gone back, what should we do?" Su Dingfang was thinking about how to deal with the Turks and continue to move forward, but was interrupted by the sound of the guards.

"Went back?" Su Dingfang let out a long breath and stood up from the ground: "Have you prepared the gifts for them on the way back?" ”

"I'm ready, I'll set it up as we go." The guard replied.

"Good." Su Dingfang smiled faintly, and glanced at the squirters who were still raising bars to each other: "Let's go too, follow behind them, and see if they will fight by themselves when the time comes." ”

"Lao Su, you're so bad, you can think of this way, but I like it." Li Chongyi seemed to know what Su Dingfang had arranged on the way here, and his smile was very strange, as if there was a hint of schadenfreude.

The Turks retreated quickly, and before it was completely dark, they had retreated to a position about five miles from the edge of the jungle.

But the marching procession stopped here, and no one dared to take a step forward.

Because at the front of the line, a stone tablet with blood written on it stood there, just like the stone tablets erected on the grassland two years ago, standing alone.

It was the 'bloodthirsty fangs' who did it, it must have been them! This is what every Turkic thinks, even Toller, who is faintly annoyed when he looks at the stele.

"What's written on it?"

"I don't know, I don't think it's a good thing!"

"It's not going to make us commit suicide en masse, is it?"

"I think it's supposed to be the death of someone who passed this monument or something, that's what they wrote on the grassland."

The flurry of discussions distracted Toller, and after whipping the speaking warriors, he jumped off his horse and walked towards the stele.

You must see what is written on it, otherwise you will be frightened by a stone, and I am afraid that this soldier will not need to bring it in the future.

The stele with the word Datang written on the front is not many words on the back, only six: go half, leave half.

The meaning was simple and clear, but looking at Toler's eyes, he unconsciously began to break out in a cold sweat, and sighed in his heart the viciousness of the 'bloodthirsty fangs'.

"Walk half, stay half", can be understood as if you want to pass from here, you must cut off your hands and feet, past half of the people; It can also be understood as fifteen thousand people, only half of whom can pass, and the other half must remain in this jungle.

Toller stood in front of the stele and hesitated for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly to the surroundings: "General of the Tang Dynasty, can we talk?" ”

After a long time, no one answered, only a large number of Toller's men looked at him inexplicably.

But Toller did not dare to speak, nor did he dare to let his men look at the stele.

'Half go, half stay' was clearly provoking civil unrest, and it was hard to guarantee that the men who saw the stele would have any other ideas.

There are different tribes within the Turks, and in the past, in the steppe, whenever there was a disaster year, the large tribes would slaughter some small tribes in order to preserve their resources for the winter.

Now, in the face of life and death, who can guarantee that no one in this group will raise a butcher's knife to others in order to fall?

And when the butcher's knife is raised, will half of the 15,000 people really survive? Or even if they survive half of it, are they really the opponents of those 'bloodthirsty fangs'?

Toller knew it was a trap, a conspiracy, but he couldn't do anything about it.

If you don't want these people to be exterminated, then surrender is the best option, of course, depending on whether the bloodthirsty fellows agree or not, after all, no one will live in their hands.

"Lay down your weapons, put your hands on your back, and tie yourself up with your belt." Just as Toller was about to accept his fate, a clear voice rang out less than thirty paces from him, and a young man in a dark green strange suit came out from behind a bush.
