Qiji set Ashina Want, Yidu Protect Ashina Yelan, Tutun Ashid Mohuang, Dagan Shi Alimen and Tutun Ashina Zhalan of the Song Desert Tooth Banner, ten miles out of the Tooth Banner, greeted the three patrol envoys who came all the way from the desert tooth tent, Da Luo Ben Le Ashina Yishun, Tong Lifa Yang Shanjing, and Dagan Andu Khan of the Desert Tujia Army.

Ashina Yishun is the cousin of the Khan of Qimin, and the core minister of the Tooth Tent Center. His official residence is Da Luo, which is equivalent to the central ruler of the prince level of Middle-earth, and his position is high and powerful.

Yang Shanjing is the younger brother of Princess Kehe Dunyicheng. At that time, Princess Yicheng was ordered to go out of the Sai and marry the Qimin Khan as his wife, and the young Yang Shanjing was worried that his sister was lonely and homesick, so he resolutely went out of the Sai to accompany him. Now more than ten years have passed, Yang Shanjing has not only grown up, but also become a central member in the dental tent, and he participates in confidential information with his position of profit, which is very popular.

Anduan Khan was the son of Nga Kha Lifa Anwu Zhao. An Wuzhao and Shi Shu Hu Xi are equally famous, both of them are the pillars of the Ya Tent Zhaowu Jiu surnamed Hu, and they are both the ministers of Shibi Khan's right-hand man. Zhaowu nine surnamed Hu has been developing in the desert for a long time, spreading branches and leaves, and now it has reached tens of thousands of people with a population of more than 100,000 people, its young and strong is good at riding and shooting, it is called the Tuo Qiang people, its army is called the Tuo Qiang Army, the combat effectiveness is very strong, the reputation is prominent, and it is known as the fierce brigade of the division of the Tooth Tent Janissary Guard attached to the wolf on the desert. Anlu Khan was the military staff officer of the Tuang army, which was composed of Zhaowu Jiu surnamed Hu.

The scale of this patrol group is not large, three officials, some subordinates and personal guards, but the level is very high, a prince-level central core, a central minister, and a military staff officer of the Tuan Army, which shows that the tooth tent attaches great importance to the situation in Anzhou and the northeast.

However, the four military and political chiefs of the Yaqi in the southeast of the moraine did not see the high level of the inspection group and experienced the deep concern of the Yaqi for the situation in the southeast of the moraine, but saw the political complexity of the inspection group and the deep hidden worries brought about by it.

These three officials represent two diametrically opposed political positions in the Ya Tent, Tel Ashina Yishun is the radical main battle faction of the Ya Tent and is a staunch supporter of Shibi Khan, while Yang Shanjing is the conservative main peace faction of the Ya Tent and is the "spokesperson" of Princess Kehe Dun Yicheng, as for Anlu Khan, he represents Zhaowu Jiu surnamed Hu, representing a foreign migration group on the desert, and as a nation with both nomadic and migratory nature and business and profit characteristics, of course, survival and interests are paramount, and everything is done for this. Therefore, within the tooth tent, he was not only a radical main war faction, but also one of the important forces that actively promoted the Great War of the North.

In this eastern tour, Shibi Khan was mainly based on the highly respected Terra Ashina Yishun, supplemented by Zhaowu Jiu's powerful man surnamed Hu, An Xuan Khan, one old and one young, one literary and one martial, tacit cooperation, should be able to control the overall situation and achieve the expected goal, but how can Yang Shanjing be a good person? He is the younger brother of Princess Kehe Dun Yicheng, every move, word and deed actually represents Princess Kehe Dun Yicheng, representing the position of the conservative lord and faction of the tooth tent headed by Princess Yicheng, there is a big backer behind him, plus the southeast tooth banner of the Qi Ji set Ashina and Yidu protect Ashina Yelan are his political allies, and the Buli set Ashina Jar of the Song Desert Tooth Banner also belongs to the same camp, it is not difficult to imagine that Yang Shanjing's weight of voice in this eastern tour is enough to compete head-on with Ashina Yishun and An Du Khan.

Yang Shanjing came with great ambition, but who would have thought that in the more than a month that the patrol group braved the wind and snow, experienced hardships, and traveled long distances, the situation in Anzhou and Northeast China had undergone earth-shaking changes, and it was completely different from the situation when they left the tent in the eastern foothills of Dujin Mountain.

This is exactly where Ashina and Yidu protect Ashina Yelan are anxious and worried.

At the end of October, when the inspection group set out from Wanshanhai, it received news that an army under the banner of the Middle-earth rebels crossed the Lightning River, broke through the encirclement of the Turkic army, and took advantage of the great battle between the Xi and Khitan tribes at the Tuosu Chenshui to suddenly enter Anzhou, and quickly captured Anzhou, which quickly affected and might even change the overall situation of the confrontation between the north and the south.

The judgment of the tooth tent is that the initiative of Middle-earth to "shoot" to attack Anzhou is the beginning of a new round of civil war, and it is also the third round of foreign expeditions launched by Middle-earth after the western expedition to Tuyuhun, the Western Regions and the eastern expedition to Goguryeo, and the Great War between the North and South is about to break out in full swing, and this war is not provoked by the desert on its own initiative, but is imposed on the desert by Middle-earth, so it is meaningless to argue about the "main battle" and "main peace" within the Tooth Tent. It is also wishful thinking, honestly giving up delusions, and immediately speeding up war preparations to meet a new round of the Civil War.

In the face of the established facts, the Tooth Tent Lords and factions were speechless, and had to compromise with the main battle faction, make concerted efforts to prepare for war, and at the same time also agreed on a strategy to deal with the situation in the northeast, that is, to compromise and forbearance, and to exchange the loss of the Great Khanate's interests in the northeast for the difficult maintenance of north-south relations in the coming year.

The Ya Tent was confident that the preparations for war would be completed in the next year, so based on this strategy, Shi Bi Khan's 100,000 urgent orders to the southeast Yaqi of the Qi Ji set Ashina Du, and the Bu Li Shea Ashina Duer, who was responsible for controlling the three tribes of Xia, Xi and Khitan, should be highly vigilant and rational in the face of sudden changes in the situation in the northeast, and should maintain a relatively stable north-south relationship as the primary goal, and from this goal, Qi Ji Sheh and Bu Li Shi should 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.

However, this strategy seems simple, but it is very difficult to complete, because the war situation is changing rapidly, and if Middle-earth is determined to capture Anzhou and the northeast, with the strength of the southeast tooth banner, the Song desert tooth banner and the Xi, Xia, and Khitan three divisions, it will not be able to resist at all, but once the three divisions of the southeast tooth banner, the Song desert tooth banner and the Donghu three divisions do their best to fight against the invading Middle-earth army, then the civil war will definitely break out, and the middle earth will definitely attack the enemy unprepared, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity when the desert has not completed the war preparations, cross the Great Wall and go deep into the desert, In this way, even if the desert is undefeated, even if the Middle Earth army is killed, its own losses are incalculable, and what is even more terrifying is that there is a Western Turk eyeing the desert around, once the desert is bloody, scarred, and dying, how to resist the attack of the Western Turkic army from the direction of Dajin Mountain?

After weighing it repeatedly, Shibi Khan and the top decision-makers of the Tooth Tent decided to send a high-level inspection team to the northeast day and night to preside over the overall situation on behalf of the Tooth Tent.

Ashina and Buli Ashina are both military governors of the town and the guard, and they are not members of the highest decision-making level of the tooth tent, and more importantly, the political position of both of them is "conservative peace", and they have very serious unrealistic illusions about Middle Earth, and with this mentality in the face of the bloody mouth of Middle-earth, they will definitely suffer, plus because there is no authorization from the Khan and the tooth tent, the two of them do not dare to make decisions at the critical moment, so one wrong step is the wrong step, it is very likely to be defeated, once Anzhou is lost, The Northeast also fell, and Middle-earth seized the opportunity, then the desert was passive, and the chances of winning the Great War between the North and the South were even less. At stake is the future of the Turkic Khanate, as well as the ambitions of the generation of rulers of the Tooth Tent, and they cannot but do their best.

As a result, it was really as the Khan and the Tooth Tent feared, and the southeast Tooth Banner was indeed mishandled. Although he came up with countermeasures after receiving the order of the tooth tent, and resolutely counterattacked, he went straight to Anzhou, but because he misjudged the battle situation before, and then looked forward and backward, he was indecisive, so that he missed the fighter and was attacked head-on by Anzhou, failed to establish a barrier on the front line of Songshan, and failed to realize the protection of the northeast, and as a result, not only lost Anzhou, but also pushed the northeast into the abyss.

Three days ago, Tutun Ashinazharan of the Song Moya Banner suddenly appeared, bringing bad news to the Northeast. The most feared and feared thing of Shibi Khan, the Tooth Tent and the Tooth Banner in the southeast of the Moraine finally appeared, and the Civil War had just begun, and the desert fell into passivity.

At the end of October, the inspection team received the news of the defeat of Anzhou in Ashinagar, and the inspection team received the news on the way south, considering that Anzhou had fallen, the northeast gate had been opened, and the situation in the northeast was severe, the inspection team had accelerated its march, but it was still unable to catch up with the changes in the situation.

The Northeast fell. Ashina Yishun, Yang Shanjing, and An Xuan Khan were shocked and unbelievable. Middle-earth has been laid out for a long time, and if it is not hit, it will be fatal, and it will be like a bamboo, destroying and decaying, and it will go down in one drum, not giving the desert time to react at all.

What now? Standing on the field where the cold wind was howling, Ashina Yishun, Yang Shanjing, and An Xuan Khan had heavy expressions and did not say a word, while Ashina Duan, Ashina Zaran and others were also gloomy and depressed.

The group hurried to Yaqi, walked into the warm dome, and rested for a while.

The three envoys regained some strength, sorted out their terrible mood, and then immediately summoned Ashnagar to inquire about the details of the Middle-earth army's journey from the exit of the fortress to the capture of Anzhou and the repulsion of the Turkic army in the southeast of the city.

The inspector has the authorization of Shibi Khan and the tooth tent, and Ashina Yishun is a highly respected veteran minister of the tooth tent, and he is the position of the big Luo Ben who is the core of the tooth tent, and his power is overwhelming, so even if he is the son of Qimin Khan and the younger brother of Shibi Khan, he still does not dare to have the slightest neglect.

Any countermeasure, decision and order has advantages and disadvantages, and unpredictable deviations will occur in the process of implementation, and the resulting results may be 108,000 miles away from expectations, especially on the battlefield, the battle situation is changing rapidly, this countermeasure is correct at one moment, but it may be wrong at the next moment, so purely from the statement of facts, even if there are serious consequences, various objective and subjective reasons will generally be found to shirk responsibility, unless he himself admits it, otherwise there is certainly no evidence to prove that he has other intentions or bad intentions.

Ashina Yishun, Yang Shanjing, and An Xuan Khan were keenly aware of some key points from Ashina's statement.

King Qi, the heir of the first emperor of Middle Earth, went north to patrol the border, and has not returned so far, and has always Chen Binghuai deserted border town, staring at the lightning river with fierce eyes, effectively containing the southeast banner of the moraine, and giving Anzhou an effective response.

The white-haired thief is the famous secret knife in Middle Earth, this person not only did not die, but miraculously made a comeback, and behind him is Pei Shiju, according to which it is speculated that with the comeback of the secret knife, the contradictions between the high-level leaders of Middle Earth have eased, and cooperation is greater than confrontation, and the reason must be the need of the Civil War. As for Li Zixiong, he is an "outdated" figure who has been politically far away from the center of Middle Earth, and even if he comes back, he will not be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, let alone bear such a heavy responsibility, so in the eyes of the high-level of the tooth tent, Li Zixiong is not worried, what really needs to be paid attention to is the secret sword, it is Pei Shiju.

In the first battle of the ghost side, Ashina's speculation should be correct, that is a trap, in order to fight the northeast, the Middle-earth army must first avoid the danger of being attacked by the enemy on the belly and back, so it tries to induce the southeast tooth banner to send troops to counterattack, and in order to set up a barrier for the northeast, he must send troops, and he fell into the trap. Fortunately, Ashina was cautious and did not mess up in the face of danger, although there were losses, but there was no damage to the bones, and the strength of the southeast Yaqi was basically retained, leaving enough room for manoeuvre to solve the Anzhou and Northeast crises in the future. If he returns from a fiasco, in the face of today's crisis, the desert is powerless and helpless, so he can only knock out his teeth and swallow blood.

After listening to Ashina's "seamless" statement, Ashina Yishun sighed secretly.

Anzhou and Northeast China fell, Ashina's crime is unforgivable, no matter how good his reasons are, he will be punished and pay the price, however, what makes people feel aggrieved and depressed is that because Anzhou and Northeast China fell at an unbelievable speed, the desert has no time to react, and even if he comes up with countermeasures, because it takes time to implement, he will miss the best opportunity to counterattack. The lesser of two evils, since the crisis cannot be reversed at the lowest cost, it can only retreat to the second, in order to avoid a premature detonation of the Civil War, the tooth tent can only swallow its anger and compromise in exchange for precious time.

Compromise is negotiation, it is bargaining, it is the task of the conservative peace faction, which requires them to use their good relations with Middle-earth to do their best to obtain the most benefits for the desert, and even if the radical main battle faction swallows their anger and does it, it will not have a good result, but will be carefully calculated by the Middle-earth people, which will make things go in the opposite direction and run counter to the original intention.

Ashina is the backbone of the conservative main and faction of the tooth tent, and the southeast tooth banner is adjacent to Anzhou and the northeast, and now Anzhou and the northeast are in the hands of the Middle Earth, if the desert wants to negotiate with the Middle Earth, Ashina is undoubtedly the best candidate, so the first Bi Khan and the radical main battle faction of the tooth tent consider the overall situation, in order to maintain the unity within the tooth tent and maintain the cooperation between the two opposing factions, they can only open the net to temporarily let Ashina be ruthless, so that he will be guilty.

Ashina obviously expected this, the worse the situation in Anzhou and Northeast China, the more aggressive Middle-earth behaved, and the more passive the tooth tent, the more stable his position as a conservative leader and faction of the tooth tent became, which is also the reason why he had no fear.

Ashina Yishun did not comment on what had happened, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Yi Jishe, in the face of today's crisis, is there a countermeasure?" ”

Ashina shook his head aggressively and said without thinking, "I accept the Khan's punishment. ”

Ashnayi stroked his beard and smiled, "I was ordered by the Khan to go east to inspect and deal with the crisis, not to punish you. Of course, the Khan may order you to be punished, but before the order is issued, you still have to set up the banner of the southeast of the moraine, and you need to do your best to ensure the safety of the southeast of the moraine. ”

Ashina nodded aggressively, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Yaqi has two countermeasures to today's crisis. The first is to immediately launch a counteroffensive to Anzhou, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of the Middle-earth army's expedition to weak Luoshui, the main force has not returned, and the remaining troops are weak, and attack fiercely, forcing the main force of the Middle-earth army to retreat quickly, and then give the two other tribes of the Xia and Khitan to gain respite, and destroy the delusion of Middle-earth to quickly control the northeast with a thunderous momentum. If nothing else, the Middle-earth army will be in a predicament, the northeast side will not be able to take all of them, and the Anzhou side will be in the flames of war again, taking care of one and losing the other, it will be difficult, and we will lose the opportunity, so we will win back the initiative, and then we can fight to the death, and we can also seize the opportunity in the negotiations. ”

Ashina aggressively and tentatively put forward a proposal for negotiation and peace.

As a matter of fact, the southeast Yaqi no longer has the conditions for a second attack on Anzhou. The failure of the last attack not only caused a large loss, a serious blow to morale, but also consumed a lot of materials, affecting the tribal tribes for the winter, in addition to the situation has become clear, the layout of Middle-earth to seize Anzhou and the Northeast has all appeared, and now there is the King of Qi in Middle-earth on the side of Huaihuang in Yanbei, and there are Middle-earth border troops waiting for Chen soldiers on the side of Gubeikou in Youzhou, and the Xi tribes have surrendered to Middle-earth, and worse, Bu Lisan Ashina has defected with the main army of the Songdesert Tooth Banner, and it is estimated that the Khitan and the Xia people will soon surrender to Middle-earth, in this situation, If the southeast tooth banner attacks Anzhou for the second time, it will be purely a death, and it will not be able to win back the initiative as Ashina described at all.

In fact, the purpose of Ashina's nonsense is to throw bricks and lead to jade, that is, to euphemistically lead to the suggestion of "negotiation and peace".

Ashina Yishun, Yang Shanjing and An Xuan Khan looked at each other, nodded in unison, and reached a tacit agreement.

"Tell me about your second countermeasure." Ashina Yishun didn't "break" Ashina's careful thoughts, and followed his words and asked.

After getting Ashina Yishun's clear hint and seeing the affirmation in Yang Shanjing's eyes, Ashina was determined in his heart and was no longer worried, but he still remained cautious and said cautiously, "The second countermeasure is to delay the army, use negotiations to buy time, and find opportunities for reversal." ”

"Reversal?" Ashina Yishun was slightly surprised, "In such a situation, is there a chance to reverse?" ”

Ashina nodded very affirmatively, "If you know the details of the battle of Shaolanghe, you will know the reversal opportunity I am talking about." ”
