September 14, early morning, on the west bank of the lightning plain, King Qi camped. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing Wei Fusi's hurried shout, King Qi suddenly woke up from his sleep, jumped up, and asked in a panic, "The Turks have attacked?" ”

Wei Fusi hurriedly shook his hand, signaling to be calm. King Qi was nervous, he was highly nervous these days, and he didn't dare to sleep at night, so he couldn't support it and took a nap with his clothes, lest he accidentally have an accident.

This is the first time he has gone out of the fortress in the real sense, in the past, he followed the Holy Lord on patrol, he was in the Great Wall, and he had never set foot in the desert, but this time it was different, this time he not only personally led the army out of the fortress, but also confronted the Turks head-on, and a fierce battle could break out at any time, and this real experience of being in danger made him feel both dangerous and exciting, and at the same time, he really tasted the terrible taste of fear. The fear of failure and death, the fear of the unknown future, if you close your eyes, you may never see the sun of tomorrow, the soldiers are desperately struggling on the line of life and death, they are all waiting for the verdict of fate, helplessness and despair are like the boundless darkness that covers the sky, devouring hope and obliterating the soul, the kind of fear that goes deep into the bone marrow can only be experienced as long as you are there.

The king of Qi was tormented in fear, when he saw the Turkic horse army overwhelming, the unstoppable, devastating invincible momentum made him frightened, and he couldn't help but want to turn around and flee, but he couldn't help himself, the soldiers around him were full of fighting spirit, the big drum fluttering high and hunting, and the earth-shattering drum horn with an indomitable momentum like a rainbow, like an impenetrable spider web, binding him and pushing him forward step by step.

Since there is no choice, there is no way out, you can only go to the soup and fire, you can only sacrifice your life to die, then you must stand up from cowardice, face the rain of guns and arrows strongly, bravely temper yourself on the cruel and bloody battlefield, and write the supreme glory with blood and life.

King Qi encouraged himself to confront fear and cowardice tenaciously, but the atmosphere on the battlefield became more and more tense, and the air was suffocated by the aura of slaughter, not to mention the pampered King of Qi, not to mention the storm, even the overwhelming dark clouds and lightning and thunder before the mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building were enough to destroy his courage, make him unsustainable, and make him closer and closer to collapse.

Wei Fusi knew that King Qi couldn't hold on, and under his arrogant and arrogant appearance, there was a fragile heart that had not been tempered, and the lust could only be covered up for a while, and the cowardly truth would eventually be exposed. Wei Fusi couldn't change the character that King Qi had cultivated since childhood, and the only thing he could do was to give King Qi the greatest support, make him confident, and make him strong.

Wei Fusi was worried about "frightening" the King of Qi, and said in a calm, calm, but still slightly urgent tone, "The Turks have crossed the river. ”

What does it mean that the Turks crossed the river overnight and marched east? Obviously, it means that Li Fengyun's intentions have been exposed. Li Fengyun wants to seize the time, to rush before the Turks wake up and do their best to hinder his eastward advance, enter the flat pine forest, in order to win the opportunity, so Li Fengyun will never be able to attack the tooth banner of Qishuibo, and it is absolutely impossible to waste the limited time on the temporary speed of the battle of will, once Ashina aggressively enters the lightning plain with the main force of the tooth banner and drags the alliance army, then the alliance army will lose the opportunity, even if it enters the flat pine forest, the price paid is very large, which will have an immeasurable impact on the plan to capture Anzhou.

When King Qi heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and his nervous emotions were also relieved, "In this way, the white hair has crossed the lightning plain and is or has entered the flat pine forest, and we have achieved the purpose of containment, and we can withdraw to Huaihuang." ”

Wei Fusi shook his head, "Extrapolating from the point of view of time, Bai Fa has not yet entered the flat pine forest, his army should be divided into two at this moment, one part of the Qi Shuibo tooth banner formed an encirclement, put on an attack posture, in order to force the Turkic army on the lightning plain to shrink the defense, while the other part of the army took the opportunity to quickly advance eastward and preemptively enter the flat pine forest. ”

King Qi is puzzled, my inference is not wrong, the white-haired army is entering or has entered the flat pine forest at this moment, and there is no conflict with your statement, why do you shake your head?

"Whitehair once said that he could enter the flat pine forest in three days as long as he crossed the Lightning River." King Qi frowned and said, "Extrapolating from the time, he should enter the flat pine forest today. "The implication is that we can evacuate today.

Wei Fusi didn't speak, but pointed to the map hanging on the side of the big tent, and stretched out his hand to ask. King Qi strode over to the map. Wei Fusi followed closely and raised his hand to the lightning river on the map, "The lightning river originates from the Dama Mountains at the northwest foot of Yanshan, from south to north, and after arriving at the lightning plain, it makes a big bend, along the northwest direction of the flat pine forest, southeast and down, after entering Anzhou, it is the Wei River in Middle Earth, passing through Yanshan Mountain into Beiping in Youzhou, and rushing into the sea." ”

King Qi understood. When the Lightning River arrives at the Lightning Plain, it goes around a "U" shaped bend, the Lightning Plain is in this "U" shaped bend, and the Qishui Bo where the tooth flag is located is at the top of this "U" shaped bend, and Li Fengyun's army must cross the Lightning River twice in a row to cross this "U" shaped bend before entering the flat pine forest. Before Li Fengyun crossed the Lightning River for the first time, he threw away most of the grain and grass baggage, and it took a whole day, but the second time he crossed the Lightning River, one day was definitely not enough, because after the Lightning River reached the section of the flat pine forest, the width increased, and the time to cross the river must also increase. In this way, if Li Fengyun's intention to enter Anzhou was exposed in advance, and the Turks of Yaqi followed closely and tried their best to pursue and kill, it would inevitably delay Li Fengyun's speed of crossing the river. From this, it is not difficult to guess that if Ashina is allowed to cross the Lightning River with the main army and rush to the battlefield day and night, the price for Li Fengyun to enter the flat pine forest will be too great.

Wei Fusi didn't say it directly, but the meaning was very straightforward, at any cost to drag the Turks and prevent the Turks from crossing the river, but the king of Qi couldn't do it, because to prevent the Turks from crossing the river, it was necessary to attack, and once the Middle-earth army launched an attack, it would tear the face, and there was no room for maneuver, the two sides would definitely fight, and the result was that no matter whether the Great War broke out in advance, or whether the two sides maintained restraint and political settlement of disputes, in the end it was very unfavorable to King Qi. The king of Qi went north to go out of the fortress, the purpose was to survive, to develop and grow, to continue his political life, and to strive for that extremely slim hope in despair, rather than self-exile and self-destruction.

Wei Fusi firmly believed that the Turks did not dare to tear their faces at present, let alone fight with the king of Qi, the future prince of Middle-earth, and directly angered the behemoth of Middle-earth, so he advocated attacking, but Wei Fusi understood the psychology of the king of Qi and was worried about conflict with the king of Qi, so he did not directly say his thoughts and did not put heavy pressure on the king of Qi. Now is a very moment, the monarch and the minister must be united, and the premise of unity is that the monarch and the minister must find their own position, if the monarch is weak and the minister is strong, the king and the minister are directly empty, it is just a puppet, then it is over, after the contradiction between the monarch and the minister is sharp, it is a matter of time before the defeat is a matter of time.

King Qi will never make a decision.

"The white hair said that he would enter the flat pine forest within three days, provided that Ashina and his main army were pinned down by the king on the west bank of the Lightning River." Wei Fusi said, "Since the king has come to this point, he should move forward bravely, he should hold on to the end, and even if he wants to retreat, it should be after the early morning of tomorrow." ”

Wei Fusi couldn't wait, King Qi's indecisiveness made him anxious, and he had no choice but to "strongly" put forward his bottom line, you can withdraw, at least you must keep your promise, you must help the white hair contain the Turks for three days, and you will not withdraw until after the early morning of tomorrow.

King Qi hesitated, with a gloomy face, and paced back and forth in the tent, turning around.

Li Shanheng came, Li Baiyao also came, and even Zhao Shizhu, the general of Wu Benlang who followed the king of Qi out of the fortress, and the general of Huaihuang Town, who broke the six Han Maha, also came, and they all came to consult the king of Qi's decision.

Li Shanheng was also anxious, although he didn't dare to attack immediately, he could analyze the situation thoroughly, and let King Qi know that for the huge benefits in the future, he must have the courage to take risks now.

"The intention of the white hair must have been exposed, the Turks on the other side of the tooth banner must be chasing and killing, desperately delaying the eastward advance speed of the white hair, and the horse army under the white hair tent is only a handful, with that point the horse army can not resist the attack of the Turks at all, and finally has to rely on the dense battle formation of the infantry army, so that the white hair is difficult to walk, and the eastward speed is greatly slow, in this unfavorable situation, if Ashina is aggressive and then leads the main army to follow up and kill, the loss of the white hair can be imagined."

The gray hair suffered heavy losses, and survival was in question, let alone to capture Anzhou. King Qi was very entangled, and turned his eyes to Zhao Shizhu and Po Liuhan Maha. These two generals have been fighting the border all year round and have fought many battles with the northern captives outside the Saiwai, so they should have a more accurate judgment of the current war situation.

Zhao Shizhu and Po Liuhan Maha glanced at each other and smiled bitterly secretly. This is the disadvantage of a typical layman commanding an insider, the king of Qi does not understand the desert at all, does not understand the northern captives, does not know the key point of the expedition outside the Saiwai, even politically speaking, the king of Qi does not seem to be mature enough, you have already gone out of the fortress, deep into the desert, and the Turks are facing head-on, the sword has been unsheathed, the risk has been infinitely magnified, at such a critical moment, you have to retreat, you have to retreat, you have to pull out the sword back into the scabbard, aren't you looking for death?

Zhao Shizhu had no choice, he was forcibly dragged onto the "boat" by the King of Qi, of course, there is also his selfishness, if it weren't for the immeasurable benefits after the recovery of Anzhou, what if he "turned his face" with the King of Qi? Now that he has broken the cauldron, but the King of Qi is hesitant, how can this be true!

"The law of the jungle." Zhao Shizhu said solemnly, "In the desert, only by devouring the weak can we continue to grow stronger, otherwise we will be the prey of others." "The implication is that if you don't fight the Turks, if you are afraid and afraid, the Turks will beat you, beat you all over the ground to find teeth, the weak eat the strong, and you will be finished, and all ambitions will be gone.

King Qi was silent.

Po Liuhan Maha resolutely said, "King, everything in the desert relies on fists to speak, as long as the fists are hard enough, as long as you knock the opponent down, beat down, and fight obediently admit defeat, you are an omnipotent god, you can do whatever you want, you can kill and take away." You say white, who dares to say that it is black? You said that Ashina made the first move, who dares to say that you shot the first arrow? ”

Zhao Shizhu added in time, "On today's battlefield, we have an absolute advantage, taking advantage of the Turkic people crossing the river in a hurry, we made a decisive move, dealt a fatal blow to him, and killed him with a river of blood." ”

King Qi was heartbroken, this sentence really moved King Qi, a battle with an absolute chance of winning, why not fight?

"Chuan Gu's order, attack, attack overnight, and unleash a thunderous blow on the Turks."
