September 13, morning, lightning plain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Fengyun commands the union? The army advanced rapidly, getting closer and closer to the Turkic tooth banner.

The tribal army guarding the tooth banner is united in hatred of the enemy, ready for battle, and the sword is tense and on the verge of breaking out. Of course, the tribal leaders have their own thoughts, and do not have the determination to sacrifice their lives to die, Ashina Simo knows this, after all, the tribes on the lightning plain have basically been evacuated, and the grassland is empty as soon as the people and animals leave, and the "clear field" is completed, and the property is preserved, as for the "strong wall", there is no practical meaning, leaving the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, the grassland is vast, boundless, and the nomadic race has adhered to the guerrilla tactics of "the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I advance", and will not compete with the enemy for the gains and losses of a city and a place, until cornered, will not fight with the enemy to lose both, and the jade will be burned.

Ashina Simo also had no intention of fighting Li Fengyun in a bloody battle, and he was sure that Li Fengyun would not fight with him.

Li Fengyun has already made it very clear that the reason why he went out to fight is to survive, and the premise of survival is strength, how can he survive without strength? If Li Fengyun fights the Turks to the death and dies for the first time out of the fortress, what will he do next? Therefore, Li Fengyun made a positive response to Ashina Simo's active "temptation", which obviously means to strive for "tacit understanding". As long as the two sides tacitly "cooperate", they will certainly be able to seek the maximum benefit at the minimum cost. Under the current situation, as long as Ashina and Ashina Simo ensure the stability of the situation in the southeast of the moraine, it will be a great achievement, and they can win more say for the conservatives of the tooth banner, and as long as the king of Qi and Li Fengyun firmly contain the Turks in the southeast of the moraine, in fact, they will worsen the situation in the desert and demonstrate their own value, which can not only effectively relieve the heavy pressure on the defense of northern Xinjiang, but also strive for a better living environment for themselves.

Therefore, although Ashina Simo was very anxious and nervous, it seemed that if the tribal leaders could not work together, the tooth banner would inevitably be destroyed by Middle-earth, the relationship between the North and the South would inevitably break down, and the Great War between the North and the South would inevitably break out.

At the same time, the horse thieves roaring from the direction of the flat pine forest are getting closer and closer to Qishuibo.

Ashina Simo received the news from the scout, and he was a little uneasy and felt a little abnormal. The Middle-earth people have entered the lightning plain, this news has already spread, this group of horse thieves and robbers who came to take advantage of the fire to rob it is impossible not to know, but even so, they still roared and killed them, and they had to fight the tiger for food, which is abnormal, are they not afraid that the Middle-earth people will "eat" them? Horse thieves and thieves are cautious, under normal circumstances, they should swim outside Qishuibo, watch coldly, and wait patiently for the opportunity to attack, as long as the Middle-earth people and the Turks fight "in full swing", they can take advantage of the fire to rob, there is no need to be so urgent.

Suddenly, a strange thought poured out of Ashnasmo's heart, could it be that they were in a group? As soon as this idea was generated, it was irrepressible, and Ashina Simo immediately used it as a basis to make a new analysis and deduction of the current confusing situation.

A few years ago, the knife was active in the pine desert area, and the flat pine forest was his station, and when it was prosperous, there were as many as 2,000 thieves under his command, which posed a serious threat to the various tribes in the east and west of the pine desert, and was surrounded and suppressed by the Turks and the Xi people, the Xi people, the Khitan people and even the Middle Earth people, and the whole army was annihilated. But now the knife is back from the dead, and the horse thieves and robbers in the flat pine forest are also swarming out, and at the same time appear on the lightning plain, this is a coincidence, if they are a gang, the horse thieves and robbers in the flat pine forest are the old department of the knife, things are complicated, the annihilation of the whole army is likely to be a scam to claim credit, and more seriously, the knife and his old department will meet, the knife will soon be able to pull up a strong horse army, the strength of the knife will swell to a new height in a short period of time, which will not only seriously threaten the security of the southeast of the moraine, It will also affect the situation in the Northeast, because the reason why the knife was stationed in the flat pine forest was that the target was the Northeast, and this is also an important reason why Xi Wang Ahui is taking the initiative to unite the forces of all parties and take advantage of the fact that the knife is not fledgling, and encircled and suppressed it on all sides.

The more Ashina Simo thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the fog in front of him gradually dissipated, and he gradually saw the secret hidden in the current crisis.

The Northeast has always been the target of the Middle-earth people, but there are too many enemies to deal with in Middle-earth, and Middle-earth has to concentrate on dealing with powerful enemies, so it can only postpone the smaller goal of Northeast China indefinitely, so although Middle-earth has coveted the heart of the Northeast over the years, it has not taken actual action.

Dao was active in the Song Desert area back then, and it must have been instructed by Pei Shiju to undertake an important mission, and the goal was the Northeast, even if it could not take the Northeast, it would also confuse the Northeast, weaken the Turkic control over the Northeast, and relieve the pressure of the Middle Earth in the direction of the Northeast Xinjiang. It's a pity that after his identity was revealed, the conspiracy of Middle-earth was also exposed, so the tribes around the desert joined forces to kill the knife and stifle the conspiracy of Middle-earth. Now the knife has changed its identity and made a comeback, and the target must still be the Northeast, but this time the knife is not alone, fighting alone, and Middle-earth is no longer hidden, and finally shows a hideous face, with the help of the knife, the power of the "traitor" of Middle-earth, to attack the Northeast, occupy the Northeast, and drive the Turkic forces out of the Northeast, so as to achieve the goal of containing and weakening the Turks.

In other words, Middle-earth still cares about the desert tooth tent, does not want to provoke a civil war for the time being, and must maintain the current North-South relations, and cannot immediately turn against the desert, and this is completely consistent with the fact that Middle-earth is continuously carrying out foreign expeditions, the national strength is huge, and it needs time to recuperate and recuperate. Therefore, Shi Shu Huxi's inference was wrong, he and the radicals of the Tooth Tent overestimated the national strength of Middle-earth, underestimated the wisdom of the Emperor of Middle-earth and the central decision-makers of the Eastern Capital, thinking that after the defeat of the two Eastern Crusades, the Middle-earth Guard Army wanted to attack the Northeast in person in order to wash away the shame and save the reputation, in fact, they did not need to kill people in person, they could just kill people with a knife. It was the knife that really attacked the Northeast, and in order to hide this secret and achieve the goal of killing with one blow, the people of Middle-earth worked hard, and all forces joined forces to create a big deception, for which the King of Qi in Middle-earth even went to the border in person regardless of the danger, the purpose was to get a piece of the credit for seizing the Northeast.

Ashina Simo found the key and suddenly penetrated, but this is not yet conclusive, there is no evidence to prove that his inference is correct, but by the time there is evidence to prove that his inference is correct, everything is too late, and the knife has long left the lightning plain, like an arrow from the string to the northeast. And no one in the northeast thought that the knife would be killed from behind, the Xi people because they have the southeast tooth flag to protect their backs, foolproof, so Xi Wang is leading the main force to fight fiercely with the Khitans in the area of Tuo Su Chenshui, and the focus of the southern Xi people is also in the Gubeikou of Yanshan, and they are fully focused on Youzhou in the middle of the earth, so the garrison force in the hinterland of the Xi people is very weak at the moment, and in the face of the army of tens of thousands of people in the sword, the Xi people have no power to fight back at all under surprise, and the result can be imagined.

Ashnasimo was anxious, worried that the conjecture would become true. If the knife enters the northeast with tens of thousands of troops, and the king of Qi with the army stays in the wilderness, then the southeast Yaqi will have to fight on two fronts, taking care of one and losing the other, and the situation is very embarrassing, and whether it is from Ashina himself or from the interests of the tooth banner, the southeast of the moraine is the focus of the town, so the support to the northeast is very limited, so the strength of the two sides on the battlefield in the northeast is one and the other, and the knife will inevitably occupy a greater advantage with the continuous material support of the Middle Earth, and it is very likely to hit the three tribes in the northeast. Instead of the Turks, de facto control of the Northeast. If the situation develops to this point, the southeast Yaqi will fall into the middle and earth people's attack, and the desert's advantage in the confrontation between the north and the south will be greatly weakened, and once the war between the north and the south breaks out, the desert's chances of victory will be minimal.

On September 13, at noon, Li Fengyun led the alliance army into Qishuibo, which was close to Yaqi. At the same time, the coalition of horse thieves from the flat pine forest also arrived at Qishuibo.

Soon, the three parties began a confrontation centered on Qishuibo, and the situation was extremely tense, and a big war was about to break out.

Time flew by, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the Middle-earthers to beat the war drums and attack, but the war drums were slow to sound, and the air on the grassland seemed to freeze, making it difficult for people to breathe.

Dusk came, the sun set like blood, and soon night fell, but the Turks did not dare to relax in the slightest, and looked at the starry sky on the steppe with wide eyes, guarding against the attack of the Middle-earth.

Ashina Simo's ominous thoughts became stronger and stronger, and finally he couldn't hold it back, and urgently wrote a copy, and sent it to Ashina on the west bank of the Lightning River overnight, and told him in detail about his analysis and speculation, and asked Ashina to be ready with both hands, and tomorrow he must dispatch the elite main force back to the tooth banner, once the knife suddenly turned around and rushed into the flat pine forest, confirming that Ashina Simo's speculation was correct, then the tooth banner must be remedied, gather all the main forces to hunt down, and do everything possible to prevent the knife from attacking the northeast, otherwise the consequences will be serious, The loss of the interests of the tooth flag is secondary, and the important thing is that it may change the existing situation of the confrontation between the north and the south, and it will be unfavorable to the desert.

However, Ashina Simo woke up too late, and when he was in a hurry to write Ashina, Li Zixiong had already led the left, middle and right armies and merchant teams, under the cover of night, quickly marched eastward and went straight to the flat pine forest.
