Iron Army! This is the Iron Army, no wonder the Tang Army can sweep the invincible opponent of the world! Seeing that the Tang officers and soldiers lined up on the other side of the river did not make any commotion because of Li Zhen's arrival, and no one even made a noise, they all just straightened their waists and sat quietly on horseback, such a solemn atmosphere made Sogersos feel very emotional, a pair of dim old eyes revealed a complicated look, silently watching Li Zhen who slowly rode through the cavalry queue to the river, and a sense of powerlessness that could not compete with him couldn't help but come to his heart.

"The last general will see His Highness." As soon as You Sifan, who was standing in front of the cavalry queue, saw Li Zhen arrive, he hurriedly rode his horse to meet him, and bowed down on the horse and saluted.

You Sifan is a general from the royal guard, and he is definitely the descendant of the lineage, Li Zhen has always admired this person's talent in training and leading troops, however, it is quite a headache for him to always like to make some small moves in private, and what makes Li Zhen even more nerve-wracking is: You Sifan belongs to the kind of guy who has been taught repeatedly, and he makes big mistakes and small mistakes constantly, but for the sake of his loyalty and ability, Li Zhen will pass with one eye open and one eye closed- Let's take the matter of the vanguard army stopping by the Tila River this time, You Sifan's small abacus in his heart can be hidden from others, but he definitely can't hide it from Li Zhen, but in front of all the soldiers, Li Zhen didn't want to embarrass him too much, just raised his hand coldly, signaled that he would be exempted, and then didn't pay much attention to it, and drove straight to the river. Seeing this, You Sifan knew that his own careful thinking had been seen through by Li Zhen, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he didn't pay much attention to it, he knew very well that Li Zhen would not care about these little tricks with him, and after laughing dryly, he didn't care and squeezed into the middle of many senior generals to join in the fun.

"His Royal Highness King Yue, the old man is late, please forgive me." As soon as he saw Li Zhen riding his horse to the river, Sogthos rode on his horse, bowed and saluted.

"Suo Lao wants to see this king, if you have something, but it's okay to talk about it, but this king is busy with military affairs, and he can't be delayed, so it's good to give you a pillar of incense, and please make a long story short." Li Zhen replied very politely, but there was no ambiguity in his mouth, and he directly sealed Sogsos's plan to delay time.

Sogsus has dealt with Li Zhen many times, how could he not know Li Zhen's personality, and he didn't expect to delay for much time, but at this time, seeing that Li Zhen was talking very dead, he didn't care much, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, the old man does have an urgent military situation to report, I wonder if His Highness can borrow a step and talk about it privately?" ”

"Yes!" Li Zhen did not hesitate for a moment, and directly agreed, leading Yingda and several other personal guard masters to leap across the Tila River.

"Your Highness, please come here." Sogsus waved his hand, invited Li Zhen aside, let out a sigh, calmed his mind, and then spoke: "If the old man guessed correctly, His Highness should have come for the defeat of Therro, but does His Highness know how Thurro was defeated?" ”

As for why Ashina Serro was defeated to such a point, Li Zhen was still at a loss at this time - Amoti surnamed Ye Hu had already sent back the news, and the more than 160,000 soldiers and horses of the Bazhuo Department gathered on the front line of Hongshanzui and Tashken had not been dispatched, and the "Rising Sun" personnel who monitored the Dadu Establishment Department on the front line of the Lao Ye Temple also came with accurate news, clearly pointing out that there was no sign of sending troops to the Dadu Establishment Department, these two pieces of news have been confirmed by different groups, and there is no doubt that they are reliable, so as to do so, It really made Li Zhen puzzled, and in the case of insufficient intelligence, he could only attribute Ashina Sero's fiasco to the fact that Ishnathro had gone to the top of the shit, but anyway, Ashina Sero was defeated if he was defeated, and when would he not take the opportunity to beat the water dog at this time? At this point, Li Zhen will never let go of such an opportunity to completely surrender Ashina Sullo's troops, even if Sona Thos says it in vain, but Li Zhen doesn't mind spending some time to understand how Ashina Sullo was defeated, if he can know a clear answer, it will be somewhat helpful in the future war, so when Songasus threw the temptation out, Li Zhen was not polite at all, and smiled slightly: "I want to hear about it." ”

Seeing that Li Zhen was interested in this matter, Soghosos secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but did not continue, but changed the topic and said, "Where will Your Highness put my Turkic people?" ”

Hehe, you're a good old man, you want to bargain with such a broken military report, do you want to be beautiful, hey, there is no door! Li Zhen sneered, and said unceremoniously: "Suo Lao is afraid that he has a bad memory, what this king said will not be repeated, and now Suo Lao has only two ways to go, one is that the Erbu voluntarily surrendered, and the other is that this king has defeated Er, where to go, Suo Lao has chosen it himself." ”

Sogeros has long known that Li Zhen is difficult, but when negotiating in the past, there will always be some leeway, and he is not an unreasonable person, but he never thought that Li Zhen would say it so decisively this time, and he did not leave the slightest room for maneuver, and he was stunned on the spot for a while, his lips trembled for a long time, but he couldn't say a word, and his aging face was full of sadness, but Li Zhen didn't seem to see it, just riding on the horse with an indifferent look, waiting for Sogossos's choice.

Li Zhen dares to do this, he has his confidence - the Tang officers and soldiers of the Tang brigade who are constantly surging on the other side of the river are Li Zhen's greatest guarantee, with such a strong army in hand, Li Zhen is not afraid that Sogsos will not buy it, in contrast, the room for maneuver of Sogsos, who has reached the point of exhaustion, is already pitiful, even if Li Zhen does not kill him, Sogssos is also desperate, even if Ashina Thero's department can really lead the remnants to successfully withdraw to the old camp, it is in vain- With the poor remnants of more than 50,000 soldiers under Ashina Thero's department, and in the dilemma of lack of food and clothing, it was impossible to stop the more than 100,000 troops of the Ebi Lu division that were tracking, and it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.

is also defeated, defeated by the hands of the Tang army and defeated by the hands of Yibi Lu, the difference between the difference is not big for the magnates of the identity of Sogsos - Yi Bi Lu and other jackals, it is impossible to let go of the magnates who dare to rebel, torture and death is undoubtedly a thing, even ordinary people may not be able to escape the poisonous hands, being detained as slaves is the best result, it is more likely to face the end of the whole clan being wiped out, and if there is a conflict with the Tang army, As far as Li Zhen's ruthlessness in slaughtering the small tribes of the grassland back then, it is very likely that there will be a collective massacre of the people, of course, the ordinary people may not be affected, but it is possible to get relief from Anxi, so as to survive the upcoming drought, therefore, whether it is for the sake of ordinary people, or for the sake of his own life, Sogersos is unwilling and dare not desperately clash with the Tang army, but if he gives up the authority in his hands so easily, he is escorted to Chang'an as an idler, Obviously, it is not what Sogersos wants, not to mention that even if he Sogsos is willing, it will only be done with the nods of Ashina Serro and the other clan leaders, and this kind of thing is definitely not something that he Sogeros can do, otherwise, the conditions that have been negotiated at the time of the New Year will not be delayed until this time There is no result, and it is just because of the reluctance of the clan leaders.

Time passed minute by minute while Sogersos was pondering, Li Zhen did not say anything to urge, just stood silently aside, and when he estimated that a pillar of incense had arrived, Li Zhen unceremoniously interrupted Sogsos's contemplation: "Suo Lao, the time is coming, what do you mean?" ”

"Ahh Sogsos's body trembled suddenly, Huo Ran raised his head, glanced at Li Zhen with a frightened look, and said with a pleading expression: "Your Highness, can you give some time and allow the old man to discuss one or two with the heads of all clans?" ”

"Impossible!" Li Zhen didn't even hesitate at all, replied categorically, and then didn't even look at Sogsos, and marched towards the Eagle Lord and the others who were waiting by the river, and ordered in a loud voice: "Blow the trumpet, order all troops to march immediately, be sure to take the enemy camp before sunset, and kill those who are passive and sluggish!" ”

"Yes!" One of the guards answered, took out the horn hanging from his waist, and prepared to blow it. At this moment, Sogsos, who came after Li Zhen, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, slow down, the old man is willing to surrender!" ”

Hey, I really didn't cry when I didn't see the coffin, why did I go earlier? Li Zhen sneered in his heart, but also secretly relieved, without him, Li Zhenyuan did not want to fight with the five major departments, in addition to considering the next step to appease the people, the main reason is - now after the Anxi development plan is launched, the population, especially the labor force, although Li Zhen tried his best to buy a lot of slaves from Tubo and Tuyuhun, however, the vigorous rise of cotton field construction and various workshops are still extremely short of manpower, Only then did he have to hit the idea on the heads of the nearly one million Turkic people north of the Tianshan Mountains, if he could not kill people, Li Zhen didn't want to kill more, after all, labor force is the key to whether Anxi can rise quickly, and the power of more people is greater, isn't it?

Seeing that Sogsos softened, Li Zhen's face immediately eased, and said with a smile: "This is very good, if this king can pacify the north of the Tianshan Mountains, Suo Lao should be the first credit, and this king will play his father and ask for credit for Suo Lao." ”

Sogssos squeezed out a wry smile, shook his head and said: "Thank you for Your Highness's kindness, the old man is ashamed to be, however, the old man is willing to surrender, and he can only ensure that my Suoge Mohe Department completely obeys His Highness's orders, and as for the other tribes, the old man can't control so much." ”

"This is natural, this king will be measured, Suo Lao can bring the meaning of this king, as for those who do not surrender, it is easy to do, you can try this king's sword?" Li Zhen shrugged his shoulders indifferently, said unhurriedly, and waved his hand without waiting for Sogersos to speak: "This matter will be left here for now, as for the emergency military report that Suo Lao said, it can be put out." ”

Sogsus originally wanted to say good things for other tribes, but seeing Li Zhen's non-negotiable posture, he didn't dare to say more, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness doesn't ask, the old man will also say, alas, if you want to blame this matter, you can blame the nephew of Seroxian for being too careless, and during the battle with Yibi Lu, he was copied by Xue Yantuo's thieves, which led to a complete defeat." ”

What the? Xue Yantuo's soldiers and horses? How is this possible? When Li Zhen heard this, she was taken aback, her eyes flashed, and she asked quietly, "Oh? Yes, Brother Thuro is too careless, how could he be defenseless, careless, careless, well, by the way, what is the banner of this Xue Yantuo's soldiers and horses, who led the army? How many soldiers and horses are there? ”

"This ......" Sogsos hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "In the melee of the nephew of Thuro, he captured a thief named Xue Yantuo, and asked that it was the black wolf army, that's right, it was the black wolf army under the generous command of the eldest prince of Xue Yantuo, and the leader was a young man named Fu Kui, as for the origin, no one knows, and there are not many soldiers and horses, just 3,000 cavalry, it was taken advantage of the fact that the thief of Thuro Xian and Yi Bilu attacked the old camp of Thuro's nephew, and took advantage of the chaos to cover up and kill from behind, which led to the rout of the whole army of Thuroxian's nephew. ”

Black Wolf Army? Fu Kui? Well, that's a familiar name. Li Zhen frowned, and suddenly remembered that a brave young general in the Battle of Hotan was called this name, but this person had already been killed on the way to Jingshi - Xiao Dalong had already come to the secret letter, saying that in Khotan, the royal families of the two countries of Shule were completely wiped out, which was also confirmed by the "Rising Sun" personnel placed in the escort team, it stands to reason that Fu Kui should have turned into white bones, this Fu Kui should not be Bi Fu Kui, but Li Zhen has a strong premonition in his heart- This Black Wolf Army general named Fu Kui is very likely to be the Fu Kui of the Shule royal family! However, in the absence of clear evidence, Li Zhen didn't want to say anything more about this matter, but frowned quickly, and then asked: "Have you ever found out when and where this black wolf army crossed the Altai Mountains?" ”

"I don't know this old man, and I haven't asked about it, but I think that the nephew of Thero should know, if His Royal Highness wants to know the details, it is better to ask the nephew of Thero in person." Sogeros spread his hands, and unmistakably said that he didn't know, but he left a tail in his words, and his intention was to leave a thought for Ashina Sero to negotiate with Li Zhen, this Li Zhen could understand when he heard it, but he didn't care at all, seeing that he couldn't hear anything more from Sogsos's mouth, he didn't bother to talk nonsense with Sogsos anymore, waved his hand, and ordered loudly: "The whole army crosses the river!" As soon as the words fell, the mournful trumpet sounded, and the army, which had been arrayed on the other side of the river for a long time, immediately launched in full force, wading through the water one after another, led by the commanders of the various armies, galloping towards the five old battalions......

What the hell did Dadu set up a child to send out the Black Wolf Army, what the hell is going on? It doesn't make sense! Although Li Zhen, who was galloping in the crowd of everyone, was expressionless, but his heart was tumbling away, and he repeatedly calculated the intention of setting up such a hand - in Li Zhen's view, it is beneficial for all parties waiting for the two major forces of the Western Turks to fight to the death and consume each other, after all, if you sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then come to Bian Zhuang to stab the tiger, no matter how it is, it is a pleasant thing, after kicking the two major forces of the Western Turks out of the game first, the remaining three parties have a lot to do - from Li Zhen's side, After the vitality of the Western Turks was greatly damaged, the resistance to annexation was naturally much smaller, and it was enough to defeat the two brothers who looked like they were in harmony, and Li Zhen was naturally willing to see the two major forces of the Western Turks continue to fight.

From Bazhuo's point of view, he also did not want to destroy the balance between the two major forces of the Western Turks, in addition to increasing the difficulty of annexation, there were two other reasons: first, the Tang Dynasty's conquest of Goguryeo had not officially begun, Bazhuo did not dare to act rashly, so as not to be stabbed from behind by Li Shimin, after all, from Liaodong to Mongolia is actually a turning kung fu, once Li Shimin is allowed to kill into the steppe from behind, if there is no mobile troops at hand, it is doubtful whether the Xue Yantuo Khanate can still exist, Not to mention the annexation of the Western Turkic Khanate; Second, Bazhuo is not a fool, he naturally knows that Li Zhen is staring at the Western Turks, before he understands Li Zhen's movements, he will never be arrogant enough to easily eat the invincible Anxi Tang Army, not to mention that there is a brother behind him who is not very peaceful, the Western Turks This game of chess is obviously who moves first and who suffers, without full certainty, it is better to sit and watch the two major tribes of the Western Turks fight to the death, once Li Zhen or Da Du Shi can't help but make a move, There are more fighters that Bazhuo can use, and judging from these points of analysis, there is no need for him to stretch out that hand in advance.

From the perspective of Dadu, he also has no reason to strike first, without him, in addition to the two major forces of the Western Turks, the remaining three sides of the strength comparison, Dadu set is undoubtedly the weakest party, from his point of view, let Bazhuo and Li Zhen fight first, and then take the opportunity to profit is the right reason, and only when the two major forces of the Western Turks are almost finished, Bazhuo and Li Zhen will intervene impatiently, once the balance between the two major forces of the Western Turks is rashly broken, although it can make the situation more chaotic, But with his generous set of more than 60,000 troops, if he wants to seize the opportunity in a big chaos, it is too difficult, but I am afraid that some of them are out of the scope of the ability to control the magnanimity, how can they act so recklessly with the shrewdness of the magnanimity?

On the surface, it seems that no one can strike first, however, things still happened, and it was under the banner of the Black Wolf Army. Is it magnanimous? If it was him, how could he be sure that he would dare to act like this? Can't see through! Li Zhen thought about the whole situation for a long time, but she never saw through the mystery, which made Li Zhen's mood a little irritable......
