The winter night was long, in the tent of the Turkic army, the Turki Khan held the wine jar and drank the cow in a big gulp, and drank half of the old wine in one go, but he suddenly stood up and threw the wine jar out casually, and as a result, the sound of "呯~" fell on the ground, and the wine and broken pottery splashed everywhere.

"Khan, why be angry about these little things, the Han people have a saying, called 'If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan', and now the Khan is weak, so there is really no need to take some small things to heart." Seeing that the Turki Khan was angry, the other people in the tent were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, but an old Turk sitting on the right hand side of the Turki Khan opened his mouth to persuade him, this person's name is Qi He Li, who used to be a guard next to the father of the Turki Khan, and the Turki Khan grew up with him since he was a child, and the relationship between the two was very deep, and only he dared to persuade at this time.

"The deception is too great, hundreds of sheep are not willing to give, their own tribe eats mutton, but our warriors can't even drink mutton soup, such a person still wants to let our warriors die for him, it's ......"

"Khan is cautious!" Before Tuli Khan finished speaking, the beggar below interrupted him, although the big tent is full of Tuli's henchmen, but some words only need to be known in the heart, and it is really not appropriate to say them.

Tuli is not stupid, in fact, he is just twenty years old this year, he is actually very shrewd, but sometimes it is inevitable that some young people are impulsive, such as today he asked his uncle Jieli Khan for hundreds of sheep as military food, because most of the tribes he brought are small tribes, either relatively poor, and some rich are not willing to contribute, so the military food should be borne by Jieli Khan, but Jieli rejected him, on the grounds that the Turks have always solved the problem of military food by themselves, if the military food is not enough, Then let the Tuli and them lead the troops to grab it.

Jieli's answer seems to be very reasonable, and it is also very in line with the tradition of the Turks, but after hearing this, Tuli couldn't wait to cut his own uncle, because when he went south, Jieli's army was always in front, and everything they encountered was robbed by them, and the Han people were not stupid, they would also flee when they saw the Turks coming, so Tuli followed behind and didn't grab anything, and now he was blocked in Gyeongju, and the people around Gyeongju either fled or hid in Gyeongju City, so he wanted to rob it, But someone has to let him grab it!

In fact, the above is just a fuse of Turki's dissatisfaction with Jieli, in fact, the grievances between the two have been a long time, Tuli's father is a Turkic Khan, and the Khan's position should have been his, but because when his father died, he was not yet ten years old, so he could only be continued by another uncle, and as a result, this uncle was also a short-lived ghost, and he died a few years later, Tuli thought that this time it should be his turn, but he didn't expect Jieli to suddenly kill and take away the position of the Turkic Khan.

Jieli has always been angry about Jieli taking away the Turkic Khan, and what makes him hate even more is that after Jieli got the Khan throne, he even pretended to call him the Little Khan and put him in charge of some tribes in the eastern Turkic region, which seems to be not thin on him, but in fact, the eastern Turkic region is full of thorns, either very dissatisfied with the rule of the Turks, or he is so poor that he wants people to eat all day long.

In the face of this situation, Tuli is also a headache, and what is even more annoying is that Jieli often finds trouble with him, such as this time to the south, Jieli strictly ordered him to lead troops to follow, for which Tuli ran all over the subordinate tribes, or coercion or inducement, and finally let these tribes send troops, but now the advantage is not taken, but the casualties paid are not small, and even the military rations are insufficient, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that his tribes will rebel.

"Begging for what to do, all the tribes are asking me for food, but my good uncle is unwilling to give it, do you have any good way?" At this time, Tuli suddenly looked up and asked, although Qi Heli did not have the bravery of his youth, he had become a respected wise man, and whenever Tuli was helpless, he could give the right advice.

I saw that Qi He Li pondered for a moment after hearing this, and finally spoke: "Khan, it is not difficult to solve this matter, we only need to use the withdrawal of troops to threaten, and then Jieli Khan will definitely provide us with food, but in this way, I am afraid that the relationship between Khan and Jieli Khan will be even worse!" ”

"I can't care so much, I'll go to him again tomorrow, if he really doesn't give it, then we will retreat, Lao Tzu ran all the way here, but he didn't get any benefits, and now those tribes under his command have long been dissatisfied, and it will definitely be a bunch of troubles after going back!" Tuli Khan waved his hand very irritably, if it weren't for his lack of strength, I'm afraid he would have raised an army to resist, but unfortunately the reality made him only hide this thought in his heart.

Tuli was in a bad mood, and after discussing the matter, he let Qi He Li and others leave, and then he sat there alone and drank alcohol, and finally got drunk and didn't wake up, but that night he had a dream, in which he finally sat on the throne of the Turkic Great Khan, and then sent Jieli to the desert in the northwest, and he could never return, and the beauties in Jieli's back tent all became his women, and he was so unhappy all day long.

But just when Tuli was dreaming, he was suddenly woken up by a burst of shouting and killing outside, and when he rubbed his eyes and sat up, he saw Qi He Li suddenly rushing in and shouting anxiously: "The Khan is not good, the Tang army is attacking from the front and rear directions, and now not only the rear army is in chaos, but the front army is also in chaos, and the situation is very critical!" ”

When he first set up camp, he deliberately chose a high ground, so that it was convenient for him to observe the overall situation, but as soon as he came out of the camp, he saw the front and rear armies blazing into the sky, and it seemed that the Tang army was shouting and killing everywhere.

"Pass my orders, and all the armies will gather on my side!" Although Tuli is young, he has been on the battlefield for a long time, and immediately made the most correct judgment, now it is dark to see the situation, and the movement of the Tang army is unknown, so the most correct way is to gather all the troops, advance and retreat, and defend, as long as you wait until dawn, it is not too late to judge the form and make plans.

Qi He Li is also a veteran on the battlefield, immediately let people convey orders, and after a while, tens of thousands of troops belonging to Tuli began to assemble, until then Tuli found that something was wrong, and said to Qi He Li next to him in confusion: "The troops sent to us by the Tang Army seem to be just harassing, and have no intention of attacking us, but the Jieli battalion on the opposite side is their main direction of attack?" ”

"That's true, the Tang army's strength is insufficient, and it is impossible to launch a full-scale attack on us, so they can only concentrate their forces to attack a little, so as to achieve greater results, and now it seems that the Tang army has chosen the direction of the main attack on the side of Jieli Khan." Qi He Li also showed a happy expression at this time and said, if the Tang army attacked them, with their current situation, I am afraid that the whole army would have collapsed long ago, and then it would definitely cause the collapse of the entire Turkic army, even if the Turks could escape, they would definitely face the criticism of Jieli in the future.

"Hehe, very good, pass on my order, the whole army retreats, in such a situation where the enemy and I are unknown, preserving strength is the first priority!" Tuli suddenly smiled coldly and ordered, the Han people have a saying called 'you do the first year of junior high school, I do the fifteenth', since Jieli did everything possible to embarrass himself, then don't blame yourself for stumbling on him, anyway, there is also a Tang army on his side, and the enemy situation is unknown, and no one can say anything to protect himself by retreating from the army.

"Khan, I'm afraid that doing so will cause the dissatisfaction of Jieli Khan!" At this time, Qi He Li heard Tuli's order, and said a little worried, he was still more reasonable, after all, Jieli is now the Khan of the Turks, and Tuli's strength is insufficient, so it is really inappropriate to provoke Jieli in such a way.

"Qi He Li, I can't tolerate me in Jieli's heart for a long time, in this case, why do I have to run to him like a dog, and he wants to ask me for guilt, at least he has to find a way to escape from the front and rear attacks of the Tang Army!" Tuli is young and vigorous, and he finally found such a good opportunity to take revenge on Jieli, and he naturally can't let it go.

Seeing that Tuli didn't listen, Qi He Li had no choice but to help him command the army to retreat, and the harassing Tang army really didn't stop them, allowing them to retreat outside the battlefield.

In contrast, Jieli's army was fiercely attacked by the Tang army, and they had been attacking the city during this time, and the Tang army was on the defensive, so Jieli did not expect that the Tang army would take the initiative to attack, and the defense in the camp was also very lax.

In addition, Li Shimin's Tiance Army and Princess Pingyang's Women's Army were all the elite of the elite, and the two armies quickly entered the camp of the Chinese army in Jieli under the joint efforts of the two armies, and then began to set fire everywhere, which caused the Turkic army to become a mess. At the beginning, Jieli also tried to gather troops to block the charge of the Tang army, but in the end he only gathered a few thousand cavalry, and the rest only cared about fleeing for their lives, which made him sigh helplessly, and finally could only order the whole army to retreat.

This night, the Turkic camp outside the city of Gyeongju was full of fire, countless Turks died under the charge of the Tang army, Li Xiu stood at the head of the city and watched the battle outside the city, the blood in his chest also seemed to be ignited by the fire outside the city, he couldn't wait to ride out of the city to kill the enemy, but he also knew that for him, a scholar who couldn't lift his hands and shoulders, if he really rode out of the city, I was afraid that he could only deliver food to others, and any Turk might kill him, so he still didn't want to make trouble for Li Shimin.

After this battle, the Turkic army suffered heavy losses, Jieli Khan commanded the remnants of the army to retreat for dozens of miles, which stabilized the position, Li Xiu thought that Jieli suffered such a big loss and should retreat, but what he never expected was that Jieli once again commanded the army to kill under the city of Gyeongju after resting in the rear for a few days!
