Ashina Simo and Shi Shu Huxi know very well that they will not make any progress if they continue to stay in Gaoyang Palace, especially in the situation of the fall of Anzhou, the drastic changes in the Northeast, and their own passivity, and the only way to do this is to immediately return to Saiwai, urging the Qiji Ashina of the Northeast Tooth Banner and the Buli Ashina of the Northeast Tooth Banner to unite the Donghu tribes such as the Xi and Khitan tribes, and take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Middle Earth rebels in Anzhou, to attack with all their might, inflict heavy losses on the enemy and even completely annihilate the enemy army, Quickly reverse the situation, and then coerce Middle-earth to make concessions with victory in the northeast.

Of course, Shi Shu Huxi is also very clear that Qi Jishe and Bu Lishe are both conservatives in the tooth tent, and they both hold the position of "main peace" in the relations between the north and the south, even if China is now aggressive and there are signs of actively launching a civil war, but considering the fact that the south is strong and the north is weak, considering that the desert needs more time to develop and grow, and considering that the political interests of the conservatives in the tooth tent must be maintained, in order to avoid a frontal conflict with China and Turkey, and to avoid the rupture of relations between the north and the south, the Civil War broke out in advance. It is bound to look ahead and hesitate on the battlefield in the northeast, and even make necessary compromises, such as giving up Anzhou and the disobedient Xi people, so as to continue to maintain a relatively stable north-south relationship at the expense of part of the desert's interests in the northeast.

Therefore, Shi Shu Huxi did not dare to pin all his hopes for reversing the crisis in the northeast on Qi Jishe and Bu Lishe, but it would take time for him to return to the tooth tent, and it would take time for Shibi Khan and the decision-makers of the tooth tent to make correct decisions, and now what the Turks lack is time, so he must do his best to delay the deterioration of the situation in the northeast, so as to win time for the tooth tent to save the crisis.

Now the emperor and the center of Middle-earth are in Gaoyang Palace, Hebei, close to the Great Wall, the expeditionary force of Middle-earth is in Liaodong, and it is also close to the Northeast, if the Middle-earth people are determined to take the Northeast with lightning speed, and do not hesitate to tear their faces with the desert, and do not hesitate to carry out the Civil War in advance, then the deterioration of the situation in the Northeast will be rapid and ever-changing, and the desert tooth tent will not have time to react at all, and the Northeast may be lost in a blink of an eye, and the Northeast may surrender. Therefore, in desperation, Shi Shu Huxi came up with a conspiracy to implement a divisive plan, no matter whether or not the expected goal can be achieved, as long as a thorn is inserted in the hearts of the central ministers such as the Emperor of Middle-earth and Yuwenshu, as long as the re-faction is vigilant because of the "special product" left over from a specific historical period of the "knife", and has greater suspicion of the central conservatives such as Su Wei and Pei Shiju, and deepens the estrangement and contradiction between the two opposing political forces, then it can more or less affect or even change the decision-making of Middle-earth on the Northeast Battlefield. It may be possible to slow down the deterioration of the situation in the northeast to a certain extent.

Ashina Simo and Shi Shu Huxi urgently made an appointment with Feng Deyi and found a high-sounding reason, saying that the Khan had summoned and had to immediately stop negotiations and return to the desert day and night.

If they want to have a better effect after the implementation of the discord plan, they must leave Middle-earth, otherwise the emperor and the central ministers of Middle-earth will see the conspiracy of the Turks at a glance, even if the facts are there, but from the overall situation, they will temporarily forbear, first work together to take down the northeast, and then tear their faces and fight, not giving the Turks any chance to "profit".

Feng Deyi immediately realized that the secret had been leaked, and the leaker must be the "traitor" in the palace, otherwise it would be impossible for the Turks to get the news of the fall of Anzhou from other channels in such a short period of time. But it doesn't matter anymore, the procrastination technique has worked, the goal has been reached, and since the Turks know that they have been fooled and are eager to leave Middle-earth, there is no need to forcibly "stay", let them send each other off with a smile.

Feng Deyi returned to the palace and reported the performance overnight, but when the Holy Lord and the central ministers heard this, they didn't pay attention to it at all. Everyone has "traitors", and there is even Princess Kehe Dunyicheng, an open super "traitor" in Middle-earth, on the desert, so as long as the center does not have a second Hu Sizheng and the core secrets are not leaked, it can be tolerated.

October 22, Anzhou, Ghost Fang.

The snow stopped, but the wind was stronger, the temperature was even lower, and it was cold to the bone. In the snow, in order to kill the ghost city as quickly as possible, the Turkic soldiers worked together to overcome all difficulties, quickly passed through the vast pine forest, entered the territory of the ghost side, and then regardless of fatigue, against the cold wind, stepped on the snow, galloped, and the momentum was violent, and went straight to the ghost city.

In the afternoon, the Turkic Xuanfeng Army led by Jie Lifa Uguri rushed to the Donghu Garrison Fort, thirty miles west of the Ghost Fang City, and fought again fiercely with the First Army of the Alliance, the Third Army of Thunder, and the Humiliating King Army, which had withdrawn here in advance.

Zhong Xin pointed out that the first army of the alliance held on to the city, and Hu Luba led the Thunder Third Army and Yu rate to insult the king of the king to control the strings on the two flanks outside the fort to respond, and the three armies fought bravely to resist with the momentum of horns, fearless of death, like an impregnable "embankment", firmly blocking the surging enemy army outside the fort, and it was difficult to advance an inch.

The selection of the vanguard army was blocked, and the advance of the Turkic army had to be stopped. When Sunia Ashina Aswin heard the news, he immediately arrived with thousands of reinforcements, intending to storm the fort with thunder, defeat and block the enemy army like a devastation, and strive to kill the ghost city before dusk, arrive at the destination, and win precious respite for the soldiers who have been marching for days.

However, before Ashina Aswin entered the battlefield, the reinforcements in the Ghost Fang City arrived, in addition to the control of the humiliation of the king led by Lei, there was also the fifth army of the alliance led by Hai Dongqing, and the combat effectiveness of the East Lake Fort immediately doubled, and the Turks were caught off guard.

Uguli, who was bound to be full of confidence, was taken aback and hurriedly retreated, but Wusu Chengzong, who was fighting with the Thunder Army on the left flank of the fort, could not retreat, and was cut off from the back road by the humiliating king Lei who came to support, and fell into siege, and was in danger.

At this moment, Ashina Aswin led the army to kill, and without hesitation, he rushed straight to the left flank of the fort, like a big eagle falling from the sky, with sharp claws whistling, and in an instant, he tore through the enemy's battle formation, and rescued Wusu Chengzong, who was in danger of heavy casualties.

Uguri was furious when reinforcements arrived, so he shouted and shouted at Aswin, the commander of the horse army, and strongly demanded to continue the attack, but Aswin was very calm, pointed to the several banners flying in the wind on the fort in the distance, and shouted, "Keep your eyes open, look at the banner on it, and see it clearly." ”

Uguri has long seen clearly, the banner of the banner as a symbol of the letter is inscribed with the official name of the commander of the unified army and the formation of the army led by him, there were three banners on it before, and now there are two more flags, although the specific official name of the inscription on the banner can not be seen, but from the color and pattern of the banner, it should be a governor of the Middle-earth army and a governor of the humiliating royal department, from which it can be inferred that the other party has increased at least five or six thousand men and horses, and the total strength of the defense of the East Lake Fort suddenly increased by half, as many as more than 10,000 people. In this situation, if you use five or six thousand troops to attack more than 10,000 enemies who are defending the city, even if the opponent's strength is mediocre, it is still a bloody battle of equal strength, and the losses of your side can be imagined.

Obviously, this battle cannot be continued, and it is necessary to ask the supreme commander of the Yaqi Banner, Qi Jishe, to be aggressive.

Seeing that Uguri was silent and had gradually recovered from his impulsiveness, Aswin immediately reached out and patted him on the back to show comfort, "Suspend the attack, send more scouts to probe around, and try to find out the opponent's reality." I immediately went to report the military situation to the Akishi, and during the time I was away, I must not act rashly. ”

In the snow-covered woods, the guards were lined up and heavily guarded, and in a small clearing in the middle of the woods, the Ashina Commander, Dagan Shi Alimen, and several of the Tooth Banner Men were gathered in a circle, wrapped in thick hair, and were listening carefully to Sunia Ashaswain's account of the military situation on the front line.

"It turns out that the defensive strength of the ghost side far exceeded our expectations." Aswin looked at Ashina, who had a cold expression, and said eagerly, "Donghushu is still thirty miles away from Ghost Fang City, but the defense force here is actually more than 10,000 people, including two commanders of the Middle-earth army, what does this mean?" It shows that there may be more troops in the ghost city. Taking a step back, even if the army in Ghost Fang City has poured out, with more than 10,000 people, it is enough to stop us under Ghost Fang City. ”

Speaking of this, Aswin turned his eyes to the expressionless Shi Alimen, and then looked at the others, and said in a heavy tone, "It's just that if there are more troops in Ghost Fang City......"

Aswin's words were not finished, in fact, the meaning was very straightforward, if there were more troops in the ghost city, his own side would be in a dilemma. continued to fight, losing both, and finally gaining nothing; retreated without a fight, allowing the Xi people to fall and Anzhou to fall, and there was no way to explain to the tooth tent; If there is a long-term stalemate and confrontation, the tooth flag cannot be supported, there are not so many grain and grass weapons, and once the Middle-earth army defeats the Xi people, turn around to support the ghost side, or the Middle-earth army in the Great Wall roars north, fighting on two fronts, and the one who flees in defeat may be his own side, and then he will lose his wife and fold his army, and it will be too late to regret it.

Ashina, Shi Alimen and other Yaqi officials looked at each other in shock.

"Is the news from the ghost party fake before?" Shi Alimen said slowly, "If it is fake, it was deliberately released by the ghost side, it is a trick to lure the enemy, and the ghost side is a trap under the city, then we are in the trap now." ”

Ashina shook his head aggressively, "Ah Huizheng is also a brave and good fighter, in the face of this predicament, in the face of the powerful enemy of Middle-earth, the first priority is to preserve his strength, he can't just fight because of impulsiveness, and kill himself." If Ah Huizheng refuses to fight a decisive battle, don't say that these Middle-earth people are at a loss, even if we want to defeat the Xi people in such a short period of time, it will be even more difficult. ”

Shi Alimen hesitated for a moment and said, "In this case, there are only two possibilities left, either the Middle-earth army is split in two, one part is facing off with Ah Hui, and the other part is reinforcing the ghost side, and the reinforcements have just arrived; Either the army inside the Great Wall has gone out of the pass and headed north, and a large number of Middle-earth troops have entered Anzhou. ”

Aswin was anxious and bowed slightly at Ashina, "The front-line soldiers are waiting, please set up an immediate decision." ”

Ashina looked aggressively at Shi Alimen. Shi Alimen waved his hand vigorously, "Attack with all your might!" Only by attacking can we find out the reality of the ghost. ”

Ashina thought for a moment and bowed slightly, "Attack!" ”
