Chapter 977: Turkic Civil Strife (1)

"They finally retreated, probably because winter was coming, and their soldiers and horses would be oppressed by heavy snow here, so they couldn't help but retreat." After receiving the news of Li Xuanba's withdrawal, He Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although the soldiers outside have withdrawn, the inside have not." It was Ashina Simo who spoke, his face was depressed, his face was pale, and under the light of the fire, he was particularly eye-catching, just as Qibi He Li said, Jinshan was besieged, how could he leave easily, no matter how he said, he was also surnamed Ashina.

"What do you want to do now?" Qi Bi He Li sat down, there were only two people in the entire big tent, he and Ashina Simo, both of them were close comrades-in-arms, friends of life and death, and they seemed closer at this time. The first battle of Dingxiang broke the backbone of the Turks, otherwise, nearly 100,000 troops sat in Jinshan, but let Li Xuanba show off his might under Jinshan, which shows the degree of fear of Li Tang's army. Even Ashina Simo and Qi Bi He Li were also cautious, because they didn't know if Li Jing was leading a large army and lurking nearby. Therefore, we can only rely on the terrain of Jinshan to cope with the upcoming war.

"This time we lost, I have to admit that the Tang Dynasty is strong, no wonder over the years, no matter how strong the grassland is, this strength is temporary, although the Central Plains is weak, but one day, they will appear a strong king, defeat the strong enemy from the northern grassland. Li Xin is such a person. There was a glimmer of fire in Ashnasmo's eyes, either fear, or resentment, etc., and there was a crackling sound in the whole tent, and the bonfire was burning, bringing a touch of warmth to the tent.

"Li Xin is very powerful, but our grassland tribe is not easy to mess with." He Li glared at Ashina Simo with some dissatisfaction, and said, "The atmosphere in the tooth tent has been very strange recently. ”

"You found that, too?" Ashina Simo glanced at Qi Qi He Li and said, "The Khan lost the battle, isn't it normal for this kind of thing to happen?" He's doubting you and me. Who made you and I wield too much military power? The soldiers and horses in his hands can surpass the elite soldiers of the tooth tent, where can he sleep at night?"

"You, really think about it?" Qi Qi He Li said in a low voice.

"He won't be a good khan, a really great khan, how can he run away from the battle, look at Li Xin, charge into battle, never lag behind others, if there is a king as powerful as Li Xin in my Turks, he will definitely lead us to seize the glory of the past. You can't do that. He surpassed others in terms of power and strategy, but he was not good at bravery, so we had to change someone. Ashnashimo's eyes flickered, and a glimmer of light appeared on his face.

"You, do you have a candidate?" Qi Qi He Li was shocked in his heart, looking at Ashina Simo, he didn't expect Ashina Simo to be like this, there was a devil in his heart. Thinking about completely replacing Jieli Khan, this was almost a fatal thing in the past, but I don't know why, but at this moment, his heart is surging. I can't wait for this to be executed right away.

"Yes, that's you." Ashina Simo looked at Qi Bi He Li and said: "In terms of wisdom, you are not much different from Jieli, in terms of bravery." You are far above Jieli, and you are no worse than him in terms of prestige. There are still elite soldiers and strong generals under him, are you still afraid of him? Our soldiers and horses are in Jinshan, and we can besiege the tooth tent together. ”

"What if Datang kills him at this time?" He Li still hesitated a little, shook his head and said: "I can't bring the entire Turkic into chaos because of my position of power alone, Jieli Khan may have such and such shortcomings, but he is the ruler elected by the Golden Family after all." ”

"Li Xin will not conquer the grassland this year, but next year he will be the first to attack the grassland, once the snow melts on the grassland, the army will kill, they have captured a large number of war horses this year, whether it is to form cavalry, or to carry grain and grass, it will become very easy, his soldiers and horses will soon be able to kill the grassland, at that time, how will we resist?" Ashina Simo clenched his fists and said.

"yes!" He Li sighed softly.

With the loss of Dingxiang, Li Tang's elite soldiers rushed into the grassland, wantonly killing, thousands of miles of red land, and I don't know how many grassland herdsmen were killed by Li Tang's army, and I don't know how many horses, cattle and sheep were robbed by the Tang Dynasty, these war horses are enough to equip Li Xin with a powerful cavalry. With this cavalry, Li Xin will be able to form an army of tens of thousands at least next year to continue to attack the grassland and expand the results of the battle.

"Therefore, we must be prepared now, take advantage of the heavy snow, quickly solve this matter, and put you on the throne of the Khan, and only in this way will we have a chance to deal with Li Xin next year, otherwise, we Turks can only watch Li Xin rule us." Ashina Simo looked at Qibi He Li and said: "Although the khan is now on guard against us, he has not yet turned his face, and our soldiers and horses suddenly surrounded the tooth tent, and the rest is successful." ”

Ashina Simo's voice was full of demonic nature, which filled Qi Bi He Li's eyes with a hint of joy, being a khan, as long as there are ambitious people on the grassland, they are very willing, but whether they can be on it is another question. What does Qi Bi think? That must be thinking, at this moment, the little thought in his heart has been burst out by Ashina Simo, and the flames are slowly generated and gradually grown.

"In that case, who?" He Li was about to agree, when he suddenly saw a figure standing outside the tent under the firelight, his face was tense, he thought of something, and the dagger in his hand that cut mutton shot out violently, and the figure of the shadow outside was crooked for a while, and then disappeared outside the tent.

Ashina Simo and Qibi He Li glanced at each other, their faces were panicked, and they chased them out without thinking about it, but found that there was nothing in the darkness outside, only a group of soldiers walking there in the distance. But when they got close to the back of the tent, the two of them still found a pool of blood on the snow-white grass, and a series of footprints leading into the distance.

"Behind the tent, the soldiers did not defend that direction." Ashnasimo whispered.

Qi Qi He Li's face was pale, the person who eavesdropped was behind the big tent, there were no soldiers guarding this direction, the two of them were still careless, thinking that the time when Jieli Khan liked to do it the most, was to spy on others, this time it was even more serious, and the two leading generals were naturally in the scope of surveillance.
