On the tenth day of the ninth month, in the early morning, the dense torches on both sides of the Lightning River were as bright as stars, and tens of thousands of tribal armies crossed the river into the Star Plains overnight, and the atmosphere was very tense. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the middle of the river valley, Ashina and Ashnasimo sat around a bonfire, whispering solemnly. Although this trip came and went in a hurry and took a short time, because of Li Fengyun's "cooperation", Ashina Simo's purpose was basically achieved, proving that the white-haired thief is a knife, and the purpose of the knife is to survive and develop and grow, so that it can not only help the King of Qi to seize the imperial unity, but also consolidate and strengthen the northern Xinjiang town, and can also achieve the goal of curbing the desert by cutting off the north-south return in the direction of Yanbei.

"Whether the knife is out of the plug or the king of Qi is on the border, all the plans are long-term goals, so from the overall situation, they have no willingness to take the initiative to provoke a war between the north and the south, nor do they have the idea of fighting with us to lose both." Ashina Simo said in a low tone, "Shi Shu Huxi's purpose is obvious, although we are not careful, we may be self-defeating, once we are deceived, he will be used as a gun, and the consequences will be serious." ”

Ashina nodded again and again, "As long as we receive the news of the King of Qi's exit from the Fortress, the situation outside the Cypriot will deteriorate rapidly because of this, we will have an excuse to compromise and retreat, and avoid fighting, after all, whether to immediately turn the other cheek with Middle-earth, and immediately launch a north-south war is the decision of the tooth tent, even if Shi Shu Hu is rampant, but in the face of such a pivotal figure as the King of Qi in Middle-earth, he is also more than willing to do it, and he will never dare to make decisions and confront the King of Qi in Middle-earth, and directly break the bottom line of Middle-earth." ”

Speaking of this, Ashina looked up at Ashina Simo aggressively, with a puzzled look in his eyes, "Although this trip proves that the white-haired thief is a knife, I have a question, for what purpose did the knife return to Middle-earth and pull up a team to fight as a traitor?" If the purpose of the knife is to take revenge, then what is the relationship between him and Pei Shiju now? The knife gathers the crowd to rebel, once its true identity is exposed, it will inevitably implicate Pei Shiju, so it is reasonable that Pei Shiju will not support or acquiesce in the rebellion of the knife, nor will he support and acquiesce in the knife to openly help the king of Qi to fight for the imperial throne, so from this, can we guess that the knife and Pei Shiju have become enemies because of that incident? ”

"Are you saying that Shi Shu Huxi did not deceive us, the knife did not get Pei Shiju's support, and the knife was also a plan this time? The Eastern Capital fought to achieve many goals such as passing on the crisis, banishing the King of Qi, strengthening the northern Xinjiang garrison, and containing and weakening the desert. Ashina Simo frowned deeply, hesitated a little, and said, "Could it be that the knife is telling the truth, and there is no conspiracy to send troops to the northeast in the eastern capital?" Shi Shu Huxi deliberately made up lies in order to provoke a fight between us and the knife? ”

Ashina shook his hand aggressively, "The knife is not credible, and Shi Shu Huxi is not credible, before the facts appear, this kind of estimation means little to us." Although the Northeast is very important to us, the three ethnic groups in the Northeast have their own interests and are difficult to control, even if we have definite evidence, what can we do? Is it possible to send troops directly to support? Obviously not, the three clans in the Northeast are worried that we are plotting against us, and they will not accept it easily, and we have no decision to send troops to the Northeast rashly to confront Middle-earth head-on, and we will definitely suffer in the end, after all, the Tooth Tent is not fully prepared to fight with Middle-earth, and it is unlikely that we will give us full support. Therefore, the real purpose of Shi Shu Huxi may be to use our strength to fight a battle on the side of Yanbei and exert heavy pressure on Middle-earth, and if Middle-earth insists on sending troops to the northeast in this unfavorable situation, it will inevitably fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on its back, and finally has no choice but to make a compromise with the tooth tent in order to expand the north-south return in exchange for control of the northeast region. It's just that the three tribes in the northeast, with our covert support, how can they easily surrender? As a result, there is a high probability that Middle-earth will be trapped in the northeastern battlefield and will be unable to extricate itself, so that the entire north-south situation will be very favorable to the desert. ”

Ashina Simo shook his head again and again, agreeing with Ashina's aggressive analysis, "So whether it's a knife or a King of Qi, it's just a bluff, and he actually doesn't want to fight with us." ”

"We don't want to fight either." Ashina sighed, "It's just that this battle will be fought sooner or later, and there is no way to dodge." ”

"The knife is a demon, as long as he haunts the place, the killing will surely roar, and the corpses will be everywhere." Ashina Simo shook his head angrily, "Fortunately, winter is coming, and he won't be rampant for a few days, just wait for the spring of next year, and we will find ways to surround and kill him." ”

"I'm worried he's crossing the Lightning River." Ashina said aggressively, "I suspect that his target this time is Lightning Plains, that is, the Tooth Banner, which is to catch us off guard with lightning speed." ”

"Order the tribes of the Lightning Plains to speed up their evacuation." Ashnasimo said, "There is no need to hide it now, just say that the army of Middle-earth is coming, tens of thousands of troops are coming, the tooth flag can't resist, only evacuation can be preserved, please don't be lucky, a slight delay is the danger of death and annihilation." ”

Ashina hesitated. However, considering the fact that the war between the North and the South is getting closer and closer, and considering the fact that the return of the north and the south in the direction of Yanbei has been severed, it is pointless to continue to deceive oneself and others.

"If this order is conveyed, the happiest person is probably Shi Shu Huxi." Ashina said unwillingly.

Ashina Simo smiled bitterly, "The trend of the times and the direction of destiny, how can manpower change it?" ”

Dao has made it very clear that the Eastern Capital is very pessimistic about the future trend of North-South relations, and even predicts that the Great War between the North and the South will break out within two years, and the war is still provoked by the desert side, which is enough to show the severity of the situation, indicating that the Eastern Capital must increase the intensity of containing and weakening the desert, and the tooth tent will definitely launch a fierce counterattack, the result can be imagined, so although the conservatives of the tooth tent have good intentions to maintain peace between the north and the south, but under the impetus of the general trend, they can only go with the tide, whether active or passive, Regardless of whether it is positive or negative, it is inevitable to join in the preparations for the Great War of the North and the South, and do everything in their power to win the war.

On the morning of the tenth day of September, Xingxingyuan.

The northern and southern armies are facing each other, and the follow-up armies of both sides are still joining the battlefield in a steady stream, although the northern army is all the controlling knights, the tide is generally overwhelming, like a giant arrow, and the momentum is soaring, but the southern army has more armor, and the battle formation is more dense, supplemented by the car array and the horse army, the defense is extremely strong, like a giant battle shield, solid as a rock, unbreakable.

Li Fengyun is full of confidence, the victory is in his hands, as long as the Turks dare to fight this battle, he is sure to beat the Turks all over the ground to find teeth, but unfortunately the king of Qi has already led the army to Goutoubo, Ashina Simo also came alone to explore the truth, the overall situation has been decided, this battle cannot be fought, and now the two sides are just bluffing.

Shi Shu Huxi was very excited, very excited, and full of anticipation for the big war that would break out. The two sides have been at peace for a long time, and although there are contradictions and conflicts, a large-scale battle of tens of thousands of troops has not occurred for more than 10 years, and today's battle will not only destroy the peace between the North and the South for more than 10 years, but will also open the prelude to a new round of the Great War between the North and the South.

At this moment, the urgent report arrived, the army of the King of Qi of Middle Earth arrived at Goutoubo yesterday, if nothing else, the army of the King of Qi will enter the Star Plains today, and there is only a little more than a day away from the battlefield of the Lightning River.

Ashina Du, Ashina Simo, and Shi Shu Huxi were shocked.

Under the current situation, it is acceptable for the King of Qi of Middle-earth to go out of the fortress to patrol the border of Huaihuang, but the King of Qi of Middle-earth led his army deep into the desert, which is unacceptable. This is also called patrolling? Which country is it patrolling? Although Middle-earth is nominally the suzerainty of the Turkic Khanate, even if the emperor of Middle-earth patrols the border, he must tell the tooth tent in advance, let alone lead the army into the desert without the consent of the tooth tent, and the king of Qi, the son of the emperor of Middle-earth, not only went deep into the desert at this moment, but also led tens of thousands of troops into the desert, which is essentially a provocation, an invasion, a tear of the face, and a big fight.

The situation has escalated and the situation has suddenly deteriorated to the extreme, what should I do? How to dispose of it?

In fact, whether it is the noble and prominent status of the King of Qi in Middle-earth, or the sudden incident of the King of Qi leading a large army into the desert, or the serious consequences of the new round of civil war caused by the King of Qi who counterattacked Middle-earth, it is directly related to the survival of the desert.

Ashina was nervous, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this battle finally didn't have to be fought, he finally found the best excuse for compromise and forbearance, so that he could block the mouth of the tooth tent and give the tooth tent a "satisfied" explanation.

Ashnasimo didn't say a word. This battle is strongly requested by you, Shi Shu Huxi, knowing that this is the treacherous plan of the Middle-earth people, using a group of traitors to tempt the Turks to be fooled, but you still want to be fooled, you have to touch the bottom of the Middle-earth people, now it's okay, the army of the king of Middle-earth Qi is coming, standing on the side to reap the benefits of the fisherman, I see how you end.

"This battle can't be fought." Shi Shu Huxi was decisive and vetoed his previous decision, "Who would have thought that the people of Middle-earth would be so rampant, ignoring the tooth tent at all, and directly threatening us with the Great War between the North and the South, how can this be reasonable!" "He's a hooligan, where did he think that the people of Middle-earth were more hooligans than him, and slapped him in the face with a big mouth.

"Won't fight?" Ashina was "angry", and shouted at Shi Shu Hu Xi, "We have crossed the river, and the two sides are already on the verge of tension, at this time you say not to fight, retreat, how to retreat?" Where to retreat? Shall we allow the Middle-earthers to attack us halfway and slaughter us to the ground? ”
