"You three, can anyone tell me what happened?" Jieli Khan roared in the palace chamber like a tiger with a wounded head, and if it weren't for Princess Yicheng's timely reminder, the defense that had been built up with great difficulty would have fallen apart because of these three guys. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhao Deyan saw Ashina's posture of burying his head in the crotch of his pants, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, so he added oil and vinegar, and told the truth and falsehood.

In order to evade responsibility, Zhao Deyan, Ashina Xiantu, and Zhan Erhu have already thought of some countermeasures on the way to escape. The first is to expand the Tang Army's ability tenfold, the second is that the soldier's will is weak to the freezing point, the third is to expand Qin Feng's despicable sneak attack by a hundred times, and the fourth point is more funny, they actually implanted the lightning god into it! Lightning and the sun are opposites, they are incompatible existences of water and fire, and the Turks worship the sun, isn't that not unrelated to lightning?

Jieli only heard a mouthful of old blood almost spurting out, and he was so angry that he couldn't stop scolding: "Waste." One or two are all waste, a full 70,000 soldiers and horses, just like that, one day, less than a day, Qin Feng ate them all, the defense line I carefully arranged, the western front that I relied on the most, didn't even hold on for a day, no, half a day! How can the descendants of my wolf god have such incompetent descendants. The saddest thing is that they still killed each other, so that Qin Feng picked up a big bargain in vain, an army of 70,000, gone, all gone. Jieli Khan slapped the table and said angrily: "I originally thought that even if you lost the war, you would have to gnaw a large piece of Qin Feng's flesh, but now, the people are not damaged at all. Do you know what that means? This means that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be 40,000 more enemies under our walls. ”

After the Tuli rebellion, after the lesson after lesson. Jieli's heart is much calmer, and he knows how to buy people's hearts more than before, and he knows the definition of perseverance more than before. But at this point, the Turks have reached the point of life and death. Jieli couldn't help but lose his temper. couldn't help but scold to cover up his weakness. As the Khan of the Turks, he knew the current situation of the Turks best.

After nearly a year of civil war, nearly half of their forces have been reduced by killing each other. Because of the civil war, they did not have plenty of time to hunt and stockpiles, and many tribes did not have a good winter. Freezing to death and starving to death, everywhere. However, in this big winter, there is a means for the tiger of Datang to trap him, and he has to bear the attack of Yi Nan behind him.

The situation of being flanked between the front and back means one thing: the Turks are in danger.

The chrysanthemum was remnant, full of wounds, and the sharp expression on the face reflected in the pain became more and more hideous.

"King Khan, calm your anger, the matter has come to this, anger is useless, and there is not much time left for us to discuss." Princess Yicheng spoke out at the right time, hoping to alleviate Jieli's anger, these three guys are damned, but now, this is not the time for infighting, and now there is no need to use Zhao Deyan's brain to get out of the predicament! For now, the most feasible way is this Zhao Deyan, who even lost the feather fan.

Patience. Jieli forcibly suppressed the turmoil and anger in his heart, thinking about how to break the situation, and how to lead the Turks to a predicament.

"Sir, the current situation has become so erosive, what can you do?" Jieli Khan really couldn't think of a countermeasure, so he could only beg Zhao Deyan, who was relying on his arm.

Zhao Deyan knew that Jieli had let them go, and his heart was wide. Suddenly, he entered the role of a military advisor again, he thought about the situation in front of him, his face was also cold, and after a while, he said: "Today's situation is extremely critical, and the Tang soldiers came in three ways, intending to trap us in the north and destroy them in one fell swoop." Now there are only three strategies to choose from. ”

Zhao Deyan was able to become Jieli's confidant, and as a Han Chinese, he became the first Turkic strategist, and he still had some level of ability, and he sorted out a set of countermeasures in a short period of time.

"The first strategy, taking advantage of the fact that the Tang Dynasty has not yet formed an encirclement, immediately transfer the tooth tent, withdraw the Khan Court to the north, and directly jump out of the Tang Army's three-sided encirclement. As long as they flee into the far north, the Tang army will not be able to find any trace of our army, and as time goes by, they will inevitably retreat on their own because of the lack of food and grass, which is the best policy. ”

Hearing this, Jieli frowned, this escape to the north can indeed preserve a certain amount of strength, but it is equivalent to giving up everything the Turks have and giving it all to the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty was not rare in the grassland, nor was it rare in his land, but the wolf cubs in Xue Yantuo were rare, and the Tuli who turned his back on his ancestors was also rare, once they fled north, everything on the grassland would be renamed and surnamed. Yi Nan has now received the support of the Tang Dynasty, when they sit firmly in the northern grassland, only with their group of remnants defeated, how can they come back from the counterattack?

Thinking of Xue Yantuo's Khan Yinan, Jieli just regretted it, knowing that he would bring such harm, he should have listened to Xinyicheng's words in the first place and killed him cleanly, so that he would not fall into today's situation. Of course, the last thing that should be done is to support Li Yuan, Li Shimin, father and son, who pretended to be grandsons. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world to buy, and war is not a single-player game.

Trying his best to shake away the cranky thoughts in his head, Jieli Khan said: "What are the other two strategies?" ”

Zhao Deyan said: "The intention of the Tang Dynasty is to encircle and trap us in an urn, but if we can open a gap in Wengzhong, we can break his encirclement tactics. Then, we will be able to come and go freely on the grassland. We occupy the right time and place on the grassland, and we can afford to spend more time, but Datang can't afford it. ”

Jieli's eyes lit up, and he had already made a decision, but he still asked, "The last strategy?" ”

Zhao Deyan secretly glanced at Jieli, whose face was sinking like water, and said cautiously emphasized: "The last strategy is the middle and lower strategy, that is, to retreat to the west immediately, ask for help from the Western Turkic Khan Mohe Marquis Quli and Bi Khan, borrow 100,000 elite soldiers, and fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty." ”

The Western Turks were originally the western khans of the Turkic Khanate, and the later Turkic Khanate was split into two parts, the Western Turks and the Eastern Turks, by the Sui Dynasty. During his reign, he annexed the rest of Tiele in the north, crossed the Amu Darya River in the southwest, occupied the homeland of Tochar, and expanded the territory to the northern boundary of Zobin (Kabitsu). Tongyehu Khan is known as having hundreds of thousands of people who control the strings, and his martial arts exceed those of previous Khans. In order to consolidate the hegemony of the Turks in Central Asia, Tong Yehu incorporated the kings of the Western Regions into the military administrative system, granted the official title of "Jieli Xuan", and sent a Tutun to be stationed to monitor and supervise the collection of taxes. In addition, the political center of gravity of the Khanate was shifted westward, and Xinya was placed in the Thousand Springs (near Tokmak) in the Stone Kingdom, and directly controlled the strategically important Shabagawa River and the Atami Road of the Silk Road. It's just that Tong Yehu was conceited and strong, and he was ruthless in government, and was killed by his uncle in 627. His uncle ascended to the throne of Khan, and he is now the Khan of Mohedu, the Marquis of Quli.

It's just that the successive Khans of the Western Turks have always regarded themselves as Turkic authentic, regarded the Eastern Turks as scum who betrayed the portal, and thought of uniting with the Tang Dynasty to kill Jieli, but Jieli was too strong at that time, and finally the cooperation could not be achieved. The Eastern Turks, on the other hand, regarded each other as scum, so although they were in the same clan, they could not be stiffer.

As soon as Zhao Deyan, who was ready to let Jieli scold angrily, said a word, Jieli's face really changed drastically, and he said with a hint of fierceness: "Shut up, let me hear this, and I will not spare it." ”

"Whoa!" Zhao Deyan kept his mouth shut.

Ashina Xiantu and Zhan Erhu also had an angry expression, which also blamed them, they have always instilled a concept in their ancestors, that is, because of the betrayal of the Western Turks, the great Turkic Khanate collapsed, so no one has a good impression of the "culprit" of the Western Turks.

This defection to the Western Turks is tantamount to admitting that the Western Turks are the orthodox Turks.

This was an intolerable disgrace for Jieli, the Khan of the Eastern Turks.

The relationship between the Eastern and Western Turks is exactly the same as that of the two sects of sword qi of the Huashan faction. The current Eastern Turks have the same mentality as the Sword Sect after the defeat, even if they are all destroyed, they will not bow their noble heads. The only difference is that the enemies that lead to defeat are different, one is from one's own family, and the other is because of an external enemy.

"You can rest here, you can't go anywhere until the news of the defeat comes! Let me consider it before making a conclusion. Jieli thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't come to a conclusion, he personally preferred the second strategy, but a young general who was not famous before could turn the Turks upside down, and how could Li Jing, whose reputation spread all over the world, be so easy to deal with?

For a while, Jieli couldn't draw conclusions.

Zhao Deyan was about to say more, but he received the eyes of Princess Yicheng, and in desperation, he had to swallow the words back to his mouth.

For the current Jieli Khan, time is life and vitality. Zhao Deyan's original intention was to let Jieli Khan make a decision as soon as possible and make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to be able to leave if he wanted to.

But the warning in Princess Yicheng's eyes made him frightened, and he also realized it, and broke out in a cold sweat, now he is the general of the defeated army, and he is no longer the "little Zhuge " in Jieli Khan's mind, Jieli has endured it to the extreme, if he is wordy, maybe he will be annoyed and killed.

After Jieli left, Yicheng took Ashina Xiantu and Zhanerhu under the pretext of taking away, and when only she and Zhao Deyan were left in the secret room, Princess Yicheng asked: "Mr. Zhao, you tell the palace honestly, is there any hope for the Turks?" After speaking, a pair of phoenix eyes stared at him.

Zhao Deyan smiled bitterly and said: "Don't hide it from Her Royal Highness the Princess, the hope of the Khan King's victory is only one percent, but if the news of the defeat of the Western Route Army reaches Dingxiang, the hope will be even slimmer." The subordinates still said the same thing, leave Dingxiang immediately, and the farther away the better. As long as people live, there is still a chance to make a comeback, and when people die, no matter how good the country is, it will not be blessed! ”

Princess Yicheng asked again: "If there is no way out, how do you think King Khan will choose?" ”

Zhao Deyan said without hesitation: "The Turks are different from us Han people, if it really comes to that point, the Khan King has no choice!" It must be the same as Tuli, and it is attached to the country. This is the innate character of the Turkic people. ”

Princess Yicheng closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said, "This palace understands, don't let a third party know about this......"

Zhao Deyan said: "My subordinates understand! ”
