Chapter 844: Conservative
Ashina as the supreme commander of the tooth banner, without the consent of Shibi Khan and the tooth tent, decided to send troops to Anzhou, is to take responsibility, win is good to say a little, the big deal is to fall arrogant, wanton and reckless pretext, but lose or return in vain, then give the opponent a "attack" handle, and eventually may move a stone to his own feet, self-inflicted trouble, so even if Ashina Simo and Shi Shu Huxi jointly suggested that he send troops to Anzhou, the current situation also forced him to do something, We can no longer find some excuses to continue to passively slack off or even do nothing, let alone remain indifferent to the loss of Turkic interests.

However, in consideration of the political interests of the conservative faction in the Tooth Tent, considering that in order to gain more time for the Great Khanate to recuperate, it is necessary to maintain a relatively stable relationship between the north and the south at present, and considering the expansion of his own political forces, Ashina still adheres to the principle of "not seeking no merit, but seeking no fault", and is cautious and cautious, with the highest goal of maintaining the stability of the situation in the northeast and ensuring the security of the two powerful tribes of the Xi and Khitan. From this goal, the focus of this attack is not on the rebels in Middle-earth, nor on rescuing the Xi people and helping them recapture Anzhou.
Ashina's aggressive attack plan is to take advantage of the moment when the Middle-earth rebels are fighting fiercely with the Xi army in Wulieshui, and there is no time to look north, kill the flat pine forest with thunder, capture the ghost square city, and then rely on the flat pine forest, the ghost square city and the pine mountain to build a solid defense line, and at the same time unite with the Xi people to form a left and right attack on the Middle Earth rebels, so as to block the Middle Earth rebels on the wet water line, and not give the Middle Earth rebels the opportunity to invade the weak Luoshui north to further confuse the situation in the northeast. In this way, the conspiracy of the Middle-earth people to use the chaos in the northeast to contain and weaken the Turks was nipped in the bud.
This is a prudent and thoughtful attack plan that is small in risk and can win the greatest results and benefits at the lowest cost, and fully satisfies the political and military interests of Ashina, a stalwart figure of the conservative faction. If the goal is successfully achieved, it will not only rescue the Xi people, strike at the rebels in Middle-earth, curb the aggressive offensive of Middle-earth in the northeast, but also protect the two powerful other tribes of the Xi and Khitan, ensure the stability of the situation in the northeast, and safeguard the interests of the Great Khanate in the northeast, Donghu species, or Middle Earth, if you want to achieve the goals you need in the northeast region, you can't "bypass" Ashinadu, you must come up with enough benefits to exchange with it, so Ashina is profitable, and the strength will inevitably skyrocket, and the future can be expected.
Ashina's aggressive "wishful thinking" played well, and also protected Ashina Yelan and fully supported it, but the restraining force of the tooth banner was not small, Tutun Ashid Mohuang and Dagan Shi Alimen, at a glance saw through the true intentions hidden behind this plan, to put it bluntly, compromise and retreat, and acquiesced in the capture of Anzhou in the Middle Earth, in order to sacrifice the Xi people and damage the interests of the Great Khanate in the northeast region, in exchange for the continued maintenance of north-south relations.
Ashina's plan seems to be aimed at safeguarding the great interests of the Great Khanate, but in fact it is aimed at safeguarding the vested interests of the conservatives in the Tooth Tent, which is unacceptable to the radicals in the Tooth Tent. In the view of Asid Mohuang and Shi Alimen, under the current situation, relations between the North and the South are becoming increasingly tense, and as soon as the Great War between the North and the South is imminent, China and Turkey are even more aggressive in their external expansion.
As a result, Ashid Mohuang and Ashimon questioned Ashina's aggressive attack plan, and came up with a specific plan to besiege and kill the Middle-earth rebels and help the Xi people completely recapture Anzhou.
The two factions argued fiercely and did not give in to each other.
At the critical moment, Shibi Khan's order was delivered to the Tooth Banner, and the Tooth Tent responded to the sudden change in the situation in the northeast as quickly as possible.
More than a month ago, that is, after Li Fengyun led his army to break through the Lightning River and enter the flat pine forest, and the plot of Middle-earth to attack Anzhou was completely exposed, Ashina Du, Ashina Simo, and Shi Shu Huxi reported to Shibi Khan, Ya Tent, and important figures of their respective political groups.
Li Fengyun's identity is too much, the entanglement of interests is too complicated, and the position is also elusive, which makes it difficult for the elites at the core level of the tooth tent to control the future situation, and I don't know if the Middle Earth side will take this opportunity to move the Civil War, so the main war and the main peace two factions argued, but the desert has not yet completed the war preparations, which is the "weakness" of the main war faction, and finally had no choice but to make compromises and decided to make preparations with both hands, in the northeast battlefield to compromise and forbear in exchange for time, and to delay the outbreak of the war with the loss of interests, In the south of the moraine, the three tooth banners of Wolf Mountain, Wuyuan and Beiyuan, which are facing each other head-on with Middle-earth, have all entered a state of combat readiness, ready to fight at any time, and directly threaten the northern frontier of Middle-earth.
The Lord and the faction also backed down. In the face of the aggressive offensive of Middle-earth, the Lords and factions could not help but plan for the worst, once Middle-earth was determined to start a civil war in the near future, and the desert failed to complete the preparations for the war because of their obstacles, resulting in the defeat of the war after the outbreak of the war, then they must pay a heavy price for this, politically they will suffer heavy losses, and their losses are incalculableThe war conscription of the Tongluo, Xue Yantuo, and other tribes should be accelerated, and all preparations for war should be completed by the end of next year.
In this way, the two factions of the main war and the main peace reached an agreement on the strategy of dealing with the situation in the northeast, that is, to compromise and forbear, and the loss of the interests of the Great Khanate in the northeast in exchange for the difficult maintenance of north-south relations in the coming year.
Based on this strategy, Shibi Khan's 100,000 urgent orders were sent to the southeast of the Moraine Banner to set up Ashina Du, and to control the three tribes of Xi, Xi and Khitan Buli set Ashina Duer, in the face of sudden changes in the situation in the northeast, to be highly vigilant, to deal with it rationally, to maintain a relatively stable north-south relationship as the main goal, and from this goal, Ji Ji and Bu Li set to compromise and tolerate within the scope of tolerance. As for the specific countermeasures, they are judged by the Ji set and the Bu Li set and flexibly grasp the situation.
When he saw this command, he was not happy but worried. This is a "pit", it seems that Shibi Khan granted him the power to deal with the situation, but in fact, he was directly tied up with the rope of "maintaining north-south relations".
At the beginning, Khan avoided the important and trivialized, and avoided talking about key issues. At present, the most critical question in the Northeast War is whether China and Turkey will treacherously turn into enemies. Will the Great Wall openly send troops to attack the three tribes in the Northeast? If the situation reaches this point, according to the order of Shibi Khan, how will Jisheh and Bulisha be handled? Will the Northeast be ceded in exchange for a relatively stable North-South relationship? In fact, the premise of his so-called "maintaining relatively stable north-south relations" is that the fundamental interests of the Great Khanate in the northeast must be ensured, that is, the northeast cannot be lost, and the three tribes in the northeast cannot be destroyed. Once the situation in the northeast gets out of control, there is no possibility of maintaining the relations between the north and the south, and the civil war breaks out ahead of schedule, all the blame is theirs, and they are doomed, and the conservatives in the tooth tent will suffer a heavy blow.
He could not provoke Middle-earth in order to help the Xi recapture Anzhou, let alone risk the rupture of relations between the North and the South and the early outbreak of the Civil War to besiege and kill the rebels in Middle-earth.
Ashide Mohuang and Sharimen had no choice but to compromise. Shibi Khan's orders made it clear that a relatively stable relationship between the north and the south must be maintained in the short term, which severely limited the strong attack of the Banner on the battlefield, and their plan to kill the Middle-earth rebels and retake Anzhou would certainly not work.
So, at this moment, in the tent of the commander on the Taoshui front, the attack strategy described in detail by Dagan Shi Alimen was the battle plan prepared by Ashina to capture the ghost side and build a solid defense line with the ghost side as the center.
Of course, the "conservative" nature of this plan is obvious, and it will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the front-line generals.
As long as the Middle-earth rebels dared to invade the Lightning River, the powerful Turkic army rushed up and killed everything, but the high-level leaders of the Tooth Banner were cautious, timid as a mouse, afraid of detonating the Great War between the North and the South, and repeatedly compromised and forbeared, and the face was swollen to the Middle Earth people and did not dare to fight back, as a result, the lightning was originally broken through by the Middle-earth rebels, and Anzhou was captured by the Middle-earth rebels, and the Xi people fell into a precarious and desperate situation. The interests of the Great Khanate in the northeast were also lost. It stands to reason that the Tooth Banner is going to fight back at this moment, to slaughter the Middle-earth rebels, to protect the interests of the Great Khanate, and to win back the face of the Turks, but the decision of the top leaders of the Tooth Banner is still to compromise and retreat, and they still dare not eat and kill the Middle-earth rebels, which seriously hit their morale and makes them very disappointed.
The first to "jump out" was Tong Jin Wusu Chengzong. A month ago, he was ambushed by the rebels of Middle-earth on the lightning plain, lost his troops, and held his stomach, and then "boiled" in Taoshui for a month, and the tooth banner never allowed them to kill Taoshui, the more angry they became, and now they are finally looking forward to the opportunity to counterattack, 30,000 troops gathered in Taoshui, the momentum is like a rainbow, and the target is a small ghost square city, killing chickens with a knife, how can this be true!
"I want to ask, is our opponent the Middle-earth rebels or the Middle-earth Guards?" Wusu Chengzong held back his anger and questioned sharply.
Shi Alimen didn't refute, but turned his eyes to Ashina, which means that this is not my decision, if you want to be angry, you will rush at Ashina.
Ashina waved his hand aggressively, signaling Wusu Chengzong to calm down, and then asked with a pleasant face, "If the Middle-earth rebels are just a bait released from the Great Wall, what will be the consequences if we kill the bait?" ā
Wusu Chengzong was about to speak, but Ashina decisively shook his hand to stop him, and asked himself, "Two consequences, one is that the Great Wall swallows his anger, and the other is that the army in the Great Wall roars out, which one do you choose?" ā
Wusu Chengzong was silent. He is not a hot-blooded and impulsive young man, of course he knows the strength of the Middle-earth Guards, and he also knows the consequences of the Middle-earth Guards roaring. With tens of thousands of control strings, the southeast banner does have the strength to provoke a civil war, but the question is, has the Great Khanate completed its preparations for war? Can this Civil War be won? Under the current situation, Anzhou is very likely to be a trap deliberately set by Middle-earth, if Ashina is blindly impulsive and jumps headlong, his personal life is not important, but if it affects the Great Khanate, then it will be impossible to atone for his sins.
Wusu Chengzong took into account the overall situation and understood the general situation, and did not dare to "press step by step", which did not mean that other Jieli and Qi Jin were afraid of Ji Jishe, so they did not dare to question his decision-making and dare not challenge his authority. So as soon as Ashina's aggressive voice fell, some angry and warlike generals "jumped out" one after another, even if the army in the Great Wall roared out? Since Middle-earth dares to invade our territory and hurt our other tribes, we dare to swarm him and kill his corpse all over the wilderness and shed rivers of blood.
Ashina walked to the map aggressively and pressed his hands. The tent quickly fell silent, and Ashina raised his hand and pointed to Liaodong on the map, "This is Huaiyuan Town in Middle Earth." The Great Army of the Middle-earth Expedition to Goguryeo is now stationed here, and it is conservatively estimated that this expeditionary force has about 300,000 to 400,000 troops. ā
Then his finger started from Huaiyuan Town on the map, straight up, and stopped at Weak Luoshui, "From Huaiyuan Town to the north of Weak Luoshui, about 400 miles." Speaking of this, he turned to look at the generals in the tent and sneered, "If Zhongtu is determined to take the northeast and mobilize 200,000 troops to the north to weaken Luoshui, who can stop it?" ā
There was a dead silence, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and a cold chill filled the big tent in an instant, and everyone changed color, and there was no more questioning.
