September 14, morning, Xingxingyuan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The king of Qi finally mustered up the courage to fight a battle with the Turks, regardless of the ruin, but he did not expect that the Turks would not be fooled, avoid fighting, and the troops withdrew in two directions. King Qi punched the cotton, and he couldn't use the force, which was very uncomfortable.

Although the Turks' active retreat exposed the bottom line of their current north-south relations, which was conducive to the development of the Qi king's foothold in Yanbei, it also fully proved that they had seen through the real purpose of the Middle-earth people's exit from the fortress, and in order to protect the interests of the Turks in the northeast, they wanted to do their best to prevent Li Fengyun from entering Anzhou.

What to do? Next, should you cross the river and enter the Lightning Plain, threaten the Turks with an aggressive attitude, and force the Turks to divide their forces to deal with it, or will they take it when they see it, stop in moderation, and evacuate the Star Plains and return to Huaihuang?

Wu Benlang will Li Shanheng, Wu Benlang will Zhao Shizhu and Huaihuang Town will Po Liuhan Maha all try their best to persuade them to enter, and implore the King of Qi to enter the Lightning Plain in one go.

"We must enter the Lightning Plains to keep the Turks firmly in check." The most familiar with the southeast of the moraine, Po Liuhan Maha did not want to miss this low-hanging fruit opportunity in front of him, and spared no effort to actively lobby, "King, the Turkic soldiers are divided into two roads, and it seems that only the way to cross the river poses a threat to the white-haired thief, but in fact, the road left on the west bank of the lightning plain can cross the river at any time and join the pursuit team, which is very unfavorable for the white-haired thief to enter Anzhou in the east, so the last general thinks that the soldiers are fast, we must immediately cross the river and kill the lightning plain, and continue to pose a serious threat to the Turks. forced them to divide their forces to deal with it. ”

"King, now that the battle situation is clear, the Turks have decided to hunt down the white-haired thief, so it is clear how the battle will develop next." Zhao Shizhu was very eager and resolute.

The reason why Zhao Shizhu stepped on the "thief ship" of King Qi with one foot was not forced by the situation, nor was he "kidnapped" by King Qi, but was tempted by the results of the recovery of Anzhou. He was optimistic about the success of this strategy, and intended to get a piece of the harvest from this fruitful battle, of course, the risk was also very large, once this strategy failed, he would inevitably pay the price for one foot on the "thief ship" of the king of Qi, so he did not allow this strategy to fail, and did everything possible to send the white-haired thief safely into Anzhou, so he had to encourage the king of Qi to continue to attack the Turks.

"It is foreseeable that once we stay on the west bank of the lightning plain and hesitate, or simply turn around and retreat south to Huaihuang, and completely expose the bottom line that we dare not cross the lightning river and dare not turn against the Turks to detonate the Great War between the north and the south, then the Turks will inevitably concentrate all their forces, follow and kill the white-haired thieves, and even chase into Anzhou in one go, and take advantage of this God-given opportunity to send a large number of troops into the northeast, so the consequences will be very serious, not only will the white-haired thieves have no place to stand, but the strategy to recover Anzhou will completely fail, It also gave the Turks a high-sounding reason to justifiably strengthen their actual control over the northeast region and increase the military threat to our northeast frontier. And this consequence is contrary to the original intention of the king, and it must be what the king does not want to see. ”

Li Shanheng's attitude is also very radical, "One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, since the king has broken the cauldron and is determined to fight against the water, he has launched an attack, and he is determined to fight to the death with the Turks, and all kinds of adverse consequences have already existed, so he can't give up halfway, and he can't be timid and not fighting, because the king has no way to retreat at all, and the king can only help the white-haired thief recover Anzhou and establish meritorious deeds, so that he can turn passive into active, can he turn danger into relief, and can he eliminate the serious blow caused by various adverse consequences to the king." ”

King Qi hesitated. Li Shanheng, Zhao Shizhu and Po Liuhan Maha The three major generals of the unified army all actively asked to cross the river and enter the lightning plain, especially Zhao Shizhu's reasons were very sufficient, which gave the king of Qi great pressure.

It is true that although Li Fengyun only asked the king of Qi to help him contain the Turks for three days, but after three days, the king of Qi withdrew to Huaihuang, did the Turks let Li Fengyun enter Anzhou unimpeded? Obviously impossible, the benefits of the Northeast have a great bearing on the future development of the desert, and the conservative lords and factions in the desert tent do not allow the overall interests of the Great Khanate to be damaged, so the southeast Yaqi cannot bear the responsibility of the fall of Anzhou, the chaos in the Northeast, and the reversal of the situation between the north and the south.

King Qi also could not afford the consequences of the failure of this strategy. The reason why King Qi did not hesitate to exile himself to the north was not because of the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong, but also because of the power of the alliance, but because of the development plan of the north, because of the hope of the future, and the starting point of hope is to recover Anzhou, if the plan to recover Anzhou fails, all dreams will no longer exist.

However, at the critical moment, Wei Fusi and Li Baiyao raised objections. They did not support the king of Qi to cross the river and march eastward, the reason was very simple, everything had a degree, and there was also a bottom line for the southeast Yaqi and the Ashina of Qiji. If the king of Qi does not cross the river, the threat to the tooth banner is still within the tolerance range of the Turks, on the contrary, crossing the lightning river, approaching the tooth banner, and forming a flanking attack on the tooth banner with the white-haired thief, the threat to the tooth banner is beyond the tolerance range of the Turks, and it will inevitably attract a strong counterattack from the Turks, and the war will inevitably break out, and the north and the south will inevitably turn against each other, and the desert tooth tent will launch a retaliatory attack even for the sake of "face", and the war between the north and the south will break out. And this is what the Holy Lord and the Central Center absolutely do not want to see, and they can't bear it, and the final result is that even if both the north and the south are defeated, the political life of the King of Qi will definitely come to an end, and their followers will definitely have to pay the price of their lives.

The reason why they supported the King of Qi to launch an attack before was because the Turks on the Star Plains were limited in number, and their own side had an absolute advantage, and they would definitely be able to win a battle, so on the contrary, the Turks knew that they were invincible, how could they have eggs and stones, and they had to fight to the death with the Middle-earthers? Therefore, they expected that the Turks would evacuate on their own initiative. Taking a step back, even if the Turks are hot-headed and have to fight to the death, and if they don't retreat, the King of Qi will not kill them all, at most, they will defeat the enemy army, maintain restraint, and leave room for maneuver between the north and the south.

It turned out that their estimate was right, the Turks had withdrawn on their own initiative, and now that the purpose of their attack had been achieved, why did they have to cross the river to attack? Do you have to touch the bottom line of the Turks and attract a strong counterattack from the Turks?

"We must be temperate, we must control our own **, we can't get an inch, we can't stand under the dangerous wall." Wei Fusi was resolute, "The Lightning River is our bottom line, and it is also the bottom line of the Turks, crossing the Lightning River and crossing the bottom line of both sides, the situation will inevitably get out of control, and there is an unpredictable danger." ”

Zhao Shizhu scoffed, "The situation is out of control? Too much danger? When Yang Gong, if the white-haired thief is defeated and the strategy to recover Anzhou fails, what will be the situation? And at what cost? ”

Li Baiyao supported Wei Fusi, and immediately retorted, "There are many things in this world that can't be solved by fists, and impulsiveness will bring endless disasters, we must be calm, we must correctly weigh the pros and cons, we must have a choice, a trade-off?" ”

"An Pinggong's words are wrong." Po Liuhan Maha showed a cold light in his eyes and was aggressive, "On the desert, heroes are judged by success or failure, by strength, and by fists, whoever has a hard fist will be the winner." If the king is afraid and retreats, and lets the Turks turn defeat into victory, and let the Turks win the final victory, it will be a defeat for the king, and a great shame for Middle-earth. ”

This is not only a radical general, but also a forced palace, King Qi can't help but be angry, but now is a very moment, need the support of Po Liuhan Maha, if he puts his dissatisfaction on his face and provokes contradictions and conflicts between the two sides, it is really unwise, so King Qi endures it.

"King, the fighter plane is fleeting, and you must cross the river quickly, and you can't be afraid of it." Li Shanheng bowed down and pleaded, "King, please give the order quickly and cross the river to attack immediately." ”

"Your Majesty, please give the order to cross the river and attack." Zhao Shizhu and Po Liuhan Maha followed closely behind, bowing down and asking for help.

King Qi was resolute, and turned his eyes to Wei Fusi and Li Baiyao.

Wei Fusi and Li Baiyao's faces were very ugly, they had already expected that Zhao Shizhu and Po Liuhan Maha would be a big trouble, but they never expected that at the critical moment, regardless of the overall situation and overall interests, it was Li Shanheng who took the lead in the battle, which made King Qi and them extremely passive.

Can you cross the river and attack? This is actually not the key issue, not the reason why Wei Fusi and Li Baiyao resolutely stopped it, but after crossing the river, can the scale, rhythm, and time of the attack be controlled? If it gets out of control, Li Shanheng, Zhao Shizhu and Po Liuhan Maha are hot-headed, and they take advantage of this opportunity to go on a killing spree, and fight a protracted fierce battle with the Turks on the lightning plain, defeating both sides, and the seriousness of the result can be imagined.

However, the king of Qi is an indecisive person, is a weak monarch, Li Shanheng and other three generals of the unified army are of the same opinion, join hands to force the palace, at this moment must give in, must compromise, the result of not giving in must be the expansion of contradictions, fierce conflict, once the three generals of the unified army join forces to erect the king of Qi, without authorization with the army across the river to attack, the consequences are not serious, but irretrievable, all the previous efforts may be ruined in this instant.

Wei Fusi and Li Baiyao exchanged glances, they were very helpless to each other, and they had to compromise, so Wei Fusi said in an unquestionable tone, "You can only cross the river, you can't attack, this is the only condition, a non-negotiable condition." ”

Li Baiyao added in time, "Three days, three days at most, no matter what the result is, we must evacuate and we must return to Huaihuang." ”

Po Liuhan Maha immediately questioned, "What if the Turks take the initiative to attack?" ”

"Of course fight back, how can Lone be beaten passively?" King Qi understood Wei Fusi and Li Baiyao's intentions, and immediately made a decision, "Pass the order, immediately cross the river and attack!" ”

Li Shanheng, Zhao Shizhu and Po Liuhan Maha looked at each other and were also helpless. This condition must be agreed, and the consequence of the agreement is that the army will inevitably be divided into two, and the two sides will respond to each other on both sides of the Lightning River, so that both sides have troops on both sides of the Lightning River, and they will contain each other, and no one can move.

At noon on September 14, Po Liuhan Maha commanded his soldiers and took the lead in crossing the river to attack.

In the afternoon, Ashina and Shi Shu Huxi received the news one after another, and they were both shocked and shocked by King Qi's "crazy" move.

Ashina did not hesitate, and immediately led the army to approach the army of King Qi, making a half-crossing and attacking posture to contain the Middle-earth army, while Shi Shu Huxi stopped his galloping footsteps, gave up the idea of joining forces with Ashina Simo to chase and kill the knife, turned the horse's head, and then returned to the Lightning River to prevent the Middle-earth army from crossing the river and killing into the Lightning Plain.
