Chapter 429: Cat and Mouse

"King Khan, what if they don't obey?" Zhan Er asked in a daze. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Idiot, do you still need me to teach you?" Jieli Khan forcibly resisted the thought of throwing a knife over, glanced sideways, and said with a cruel smile: "I am not dead yet, I am still the supreme king of the Turks, if I don't listen to the call of the Khan, I will die, and I will have to go to heaven to kowtow to the wolf god to apologize." ”

Ignoring Zhao Deyan and Zhan Erhu, Jieli Khan wiped his face, mounted his horse, and gave the order to detour to the southwest.

Zhao Deyan and Zhan Er suddenly looked at each other, and the other party with a look of disbelief shivered one after another.

"Go ahead! We have run out of time to waste. Zhao Deyan sighed, he walked a few steps, turned back to Zhan Erhu and said: "This is the only hope, if, if you can't complete the things that the Khan King explained, you, you still don't come back, run as far as you want." ”

What ambition, what ambition, has disappeared without a trace after the last bombing of the camp, Zhao Deyan now has no way out, can only follow Jieli Khan all the way to the end, how far can he go. Zhan Erhu is a heroic and cool, scheming man, and still can't see that Jieli Khan has killed himself who has failed again and again, Jieli Khan's forcible suppression can be concealed from Zhan Erhu, but he can't hide Zhao Deyan, Zhan Erhu has always respected Zhao Deyan, and the last time he failed miserably, if he and Ashina had the courage to take responsibility, whether Zhao Dewen could be reused is still two different things. After thinking about the old feelings, I reminded him.

Zhan Erhu, who was about to leave, was stunned at first, but when he thought about it clearly, he was also shocked into a cold sweat, and said with sincere gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. for your kindness!" However......" his voice changed, and he said with a solemn expression: "I must complete the task assigned by the Khan, the Turks have reached the moment of life and death, as the descendant of the loyal guards of the great Ashina Tumen, I can't shame the ancestors, even if I can't complete the task, I won't leave." The Turks are my roots, and now my roots are about to be cut off, and I must not sit idly by. ”

The resoluteness of the attitude makes it impossible to humiliate. Zhan Erhu bowed respectfully to Zhao Dewen to show his gratitude and respect, and then rode away.

Zhao Deyan looked at the back of Zhan Er's departing blankly, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. He has always believed that the Turks have no loyalty, but Ashina Xiantu, Ashina Simo, and Zhan Erhu have taught him a lesson with practical actions, and also let him know that whether it is the Turks or the Central Plains, whenever the country is about to break, there will always be a group of loyal people who will jump out and use their blood and lives to maintain the faith in their hearts and defend the dignity of the nation. At the same time, Zhan Erhu's last words were like a loud slap, slapping him Zhao Deyan's face, making him red-faced, hot and painful.

When the national disaster was at hand and the nation was in danger, what did he Zhao Deyan do?

The words that came out of his sudden feeling were not aimed at Zhao Deyan, but he was very ashamed in his heart.

Zhao Deyan was stunned for a while, and suddenly had an idea, and suddenly chased after Jieli Khan.

At this time, Jieli Khan was convening the whole army to give a lecture, facing a pair of indifferent and desperate eyes, Jieli Khan was full of remorse, he suddenly looked moved, and thought in his heart: The arrival of Zhan Erhu must have fallen into everyone's eyes, and now the news has not yet come out, maybe he can make a big fuss about it.

"Haha!" Jieli Khan suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Clansmen, let me tell you a good news, our clansmen have successfully passed through Xue Yantuo's defense line, and achieved brilliant results, General Kang Sumi led the loyal and brave men, at the cost of a thousand people, beheaded Xue Yantuo 10,000 heads in the area of the Evil Yang Ridge, and built a Jingguan in the Valley of Ghasts, Li Ji of the Tang Dynasty led the army to help, but they were all infantry, although our clansmen were temporarily scattered, but General Kang Sumi and Zhan Erhu Khan fought bloodily, and they gave full play to the advantages of cavalry, shot more than 10,000 people on the other side, and now Li Ji made Kang Sumi fight so hard that he didn't dare to rush down the Valley of Ghasts, they were afraid that we would attack, and they were cowering on the mountain to drink the north wind, clansmen, do you think this is a great news? Haha, the army of the Tang Dynasty seems to me nothing more than that. They did outdo us by their intrigues, and they did win a brief victory, but when they got to the grasslands, to the open terrain of the desert, even if they had great plots, it was of no avail, and when we were ready, they hid in the crotch of their mother's pants with their tails between their legs. He raised his whip and said in a loud voice: "Just let him continue to hide in the mountains and drink the north wind, what bullshit, Lao Tzu doesn't play with them anymore, he wants us to confront them together, and there is no north wind gate together, I, General Kang Sumi, guard the main road and wait for their demise, while we change the route, go around the evil yang ridge, and directly attack the hinterland of Xue Yantuo, and then capture Yi Nan Xiaoersheng and ask him why he doesn't do it as a good person, and he has to act as a lackey of the southern barbarians in the Tang Dynasty." ”

Jieli Khan saw that the morale of the soldiers was gone, and he had no choice but to come up with this bad idea, now he can only take one step at a time, and if he encounters the returning deserters and people, it is a big deal to say that they are separated and returned, anyway, he has already said that the people are only temporarily let the Tang army be killed, since they are separated, they will naturally not know what happened next. When the time comes, even if the people say something about the fiasco, Kejieli Khan will be able to justify himself, and he will even ask the other party "You ran away early, how can you know what happened later?" As soon as these words came out, the people, of course, were speechless.

However, it has to be said that Jieli Khan can become the king of the Turkic Khan, and this demagogic statement is still very tempting to say.

Let the traitors of the Turks kneel in front of everyone and repent, just thinking about it makes the blood boil!

The shout of "huhahahaha" sounded, and tens of thousands of troops marched again, rushing vigorously and mightily in the southwest direction......

As a result, the tribes that settled in this area have suffered! First of all, let Zhan Erhu catch a strong man, and eat and take the loot again, and then, and then the soldiers who returned from the defeat led by Jieli Khan were poisoned again, the young men of these small tribes either died early on the battlefield, or let Zhan Erhu forcibly pull away, in front of the army of Jieli Khan, they are like beautiful girls without clothes, they have no ability to resist, they can only let them vent their bestiality, snatching, ** happens all the time, Although the leaders of these small tribes constantly protested to Jieli Khan, where would Jieli Khan stop the soldiers now, so, with his acquiescence, the soldiers became even more presumptuous, from the robbery of the previous day, ** gradually evolved into murder and arson. They were like locusts in transit, and they ransacked almost any tribe they went, and a catastrophe belonging to the Turks was staged. At this time, the Jieli Army was like a little devil during the Anti-Japanese War, and was implementing the "three-light policy" along the way, but the little devils were targeting the Chinese, while the Turks were even more behaved, just because they swung their swords at the chest of their own clan, and burned and killed compatriots of the same root.

However, this killing is not without benefits! First of all, the problem of eating has been solved, and secondly, the morale of the soldiers has been re-improved through this strange way, although it is still a few points away from the peak, but it is several times better than when it left Dingxiang City. The Khan was satisfied, and became more and more indulgent in the behavior of his soldiers. Of course, there are unsatisfactory things, that is, the Tang army behind the ass has been biting them, these five thousand cavalry are like wolves in the grassland, they avoid the real and the false, when Jieli Khan sent a large army to clear them, they fled, but once someone is alone, or the number is less, let them eat clean, the most painful thing is that they seem to be tireless, during the day they hang far away, because of the line of sight, they can't do anything out of the ordinary, but once it's night, the Turkic soldiers below Jieli Khan sat still. Every day when it was dark, whenever the Turks were ready to eat, they would rush nearby, if the Turks were unprepared, they would release a few waves of arrows nearby, and when the army came to their senses, they would disappear into the night, and if left unchecked, they would be even more arrogant, and even rushed to a distance of less than a dozen paces from them to release arrows and throw torches. The same is true when they are sleeping, and every night they rush at an unlimited number of times, either firing arrows or making loud noises. If you ignore it, if you do kill it, it's all over. In this way, after two days of marching, the Turkic soldiers were sluggish and yawning, walking and walking, and from time to time someone fell off his horse, but fell asleep on the horse.

Regarding the shameless behavior of the Tang Army, Jieli Khan and Zhao Deyan knew that it was a tired strategy, but they were also helpless and helpless.

The two also knew that the other party was playing a game of cat and mouse, and when the mouse was exhausted, the tired cat would swallow the mouse in one bite. But this is a naked conspiracy, and I have to let the other party lead the nose. But if it continues like this, the army will have to let the other party play to collapse, and in the end, under the advice of Zhao Deyan, Jieli Khan let the Turkic soldiers rest and patrol in batches, and sleep specially, even if the other party kills, just sleep.

In this way, the situation was better, but the pace of the march was undoubtedly slowed down. Under Su Dingfang's play, the Turkic soldiers only walked more than 300 miles in two days, and this kind of progress was definitely the speed of the turtle for the Turkic soldiers who were all cavalry. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Khan Court next year. Moreover, this is not terrifying, what worries Jieli Khan the most is that the young general of the Tang Army is very good at judging the situation, once there is a fighter, he will not hesitate to attack, and then take the lives of a wave of Turkic soldiers.

Two days, in just two days, without fighting head-on, Jieli Khan let Su Dingfang steal more than 3,000 lives. Although he kept replenishing his blood, it was a drop in the bucket. At this rate, his troops would have eaten not a single bone in twenty days.

In just two days, Jieli Khan seemed to be more than twenty years old, and his black hair was all gray, looking like he was in his last years.
