The Turkic envoys blackmailed the old emperor of Great Qi for territorial pastures, which did not hurt Li Bin. But when he heard Qi Xing say that Suleiman Khan was going to marry Qi Min, the princess of Great Qi in advance, Li Bin couldn't bear it anymore and broke out.

He stood up abruptly and said, "The Turks are so domineering and arrogant, why are they? ”

"According to Daqi's informant news in the Turks, Bi Lingfeng, the great mage of the Turkic protector and known as the number one master outside the country, has recently achieved great achievements and has been released. Coupled with the hundreds of thousands of well-trained iron horsemen that Suleiman held in his hands, this made Suleiman's ambition swell, and he no longer took us seriously. Qi Xing, the king of Chu, said the latest secret information.

"Bi Lingfeng's eldest disciple Batar was defeated by Brother Li in public, which made Bi Lingfeng feel embarrassed, and he always looked forward to the day when he could defeat you and avenge his eldest disciple Batar. So this time, Bi Lingfeng tried his best to instigate Suleiman Khan to coerce us into Daqi. ”

"Want to beat me?" Li Bin still remembers the scene of the fierce battle with Batar that day.

"Brother Li, there is bad news, after Bi Lingfeng came out of the customs, he personally went out to kill and capture the kings of several small countries around him who were not in harmony with the Turks, and used this as a threat to intimidate the surrounding small countries to join the Turks. Without the containment and restraint of the Turks by these small surrounding countries, the Turks added 300,000 iron cavalry out of thin air that could be used in the northern direction of Daqi. Nowadays, the border defense pressure in the north of Daqi is very great. The situation is even more dangerous than before. Qi Xing, the king of Chu, took out the secret letter from his bosom and sent back the secret letter sent back by the secret agents of the Great Qi infiltration into the surrounding small countries and said to Li Bin.

After Li Bin took the secret letter and read it, he sighed lightly and said in a heavy tone: "The big war is inevitable. ”

After a pause, Li Bin then asked, "Your Highness." How did the emperor deal with and reply to the coercion of the Turkic envoys? ”

"The emperor in order to stabilize the Turks first. agreed to Suleiman Khan's proposal to marry Min Mei in advance, and sent troops to send Min Mei to the Turks to complete the marriage in the near future. Qi Xing looked at Li Bin. Said worriedly.

The relationship between Qi Min and Li Bin, Qi Xing, who is an elder brother, has also heard of it a little. After telling the truth of the matter, Qi Xing was still very worried that Li Bin would be angry and couldn't control his emotions.

"Brother Li, I'm sorry. The Emperor needed time to adjust the deployment of troops and mobilize military supplies. If the Turks invade the south this time, the scale will definitely be unprecedented, and the pressure that Daqi will face will be unprecedented. Qi Xing explained.

"Your Highness, you don't have to say anything. I get that. The Turks are all iron cavalry, mobilize and move quickly, and the large Qi infantry army is the mainstay, and it will take a lot of time to readjust the deployment of troops. ”

"Brother Li, if you can understand my father's difficulties, I will rest assured."

"Your Highness, I just want to ask, Qi Min's exact exit time, I only have one request, I want to be the general of the escort team!" Li Bin knew that this matter was on the bow. I had to send it. I had to retreat and go with Qi Min, and never abandon Qi Min alone.

"This is no problem, I will try to do it for Brother Li tomorrow morning. But in the land of Turkic tigers and wolves, Brother Li is going to die for a lifetime. Qi Xing knew that Li Bin's martial arts were powerful, but he was deep in the Turkic steppe. The other party has a million tiger and wolf army, and the Turkic Protector Grand Mage Bi Lingfeng is not an easy person. Li Bin is going. Being alone is extremely dangerous.

"I can't let Qi Min feed the wolf without ignoring it. Since things cannot be avoided, I will definitely go all out to protect Qi Min to the death, and buy as much time as possible for His Highness to prepare for the battle. I hope God willing. Li Bin said from the bottom of his heart.

"But this time, my father did not hand over the command of the unified army to me, and I can't do anything." Qi Xing, the king of Chu, said a little helplessly.

"The emperor is old and has difficulty moving. The great war is imminent, and looking at the great Qi, among the generals and princes who have the ability to command the army, there is only one person, and I believe that the emperor will make up his mind sooner or later. Li Bin said firmly.

"From what Brother Li has seen, how will this Turkic southern invasion be different from the last battle?" Qi Xing, the king of Chu, lost no time in asking Li Bin for advice, if he didn't ask clearly, after Li Bin followed Qi Min's family team into the Turks, there would be no more chance.

Li Bin didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a while, and said, "Your Highness, is there a map of the northern border in the mansion?" ”

"Brother Li, wait a minute, I'll go get it." Soon, Qi Xing took out a map of the northern border of Daqi marked with various red lines from the back room.

Unfolding it on the desk, he said, "I carefully surveyed this map when the war broke out in the north last time. But even if I look at it now, I still can't find the established direction of the Turks' main attack. ”

The northern border defense of Daqi, bordering the Turks for more than 1,000 miles, on this border defense line, Daqi only has a city fortress and city wall defense in the middle section of the capital for hundreds of miles, and on the east and west ends of the large section of the border defense line, Daqi only has a thin city wall defense, lacking effective defense in depth, but the garrison force is more than the defense line with a city fortress in the middle section.

Especially in the last battle of the southern invasion of the Turks, the Turkic general Su Louluo waved an army of 100,000 to break through the defense line of the western section of the northern city wall, and the defense facilities of the western section of the city wall were destroyed by the Turks.

However, it was precisely because of the serious damage to the western section of the city wall that Daqi focused on gathering 400,000 elite soldiers to defend it in this direction, hoping to make up for the disadvantage of insufficient defense facilities with the advantage of troops.

Li Bin carefully looked at Qi Xing's military map of the northern border marked with troops, pointed to the numerous defense lines of the city fortress in the middle of the northern border, and said: "If I am a Turkic commander, the breakthrough point I choose for this southern invasion will be in the middle of the northern border!" ”

Qi Xing was shocked when he heard this, and asked in disbelief: "But the defense force in the middle of the northern border is relatively strong compared to the east and west ends, and there are many strong strongholds in the city, if the Turkic iron cavalry wants to forcibly break through from here, I'm afraid it will be difficult, right?" ”

"This time the Turks invaded the south, and the troops of the whole country went south, and the daily consumption of grain and grass by millions of people and horses was not something that a nomadic country like the Turks could afford for a long time, which was one of them; Second, although the Qi army in the middle of the northern border was well equipped, it was not strong enough to discourage the Turks.

Moreover, this time, Suleiman must have learned the lessons of the failure of the first southern invasion, and will accompany the army to deploy martial arts and strong martial arts, and good hands will fight with the army, and the middle section of the northern border gathers a number of grain and grass storage bases of the Qi army, once the defense line of the Qi army in the middle section is broken, the Turks will capture the most urgently needed grain and grass military supplies for the southern invasion, so as to maintain the huge consumption of the war of millions of men and horses;

Third, the middle section of the northern border is the closest to the capital, and once the defense line in the middle section is breached, the Turkic iron cavalry can also travel south, and the troops can reach the capital in less than half a day. At that time, the Qi infantry on the east and west ends of the defense line will definitely not be able to rescue, the defenders of the capital are the victorious tiger and wolf division of the Turks, does His Highness think that these recruits who have not been tempered by the battle formation can stop the Turkic iron cavalry superior forces from attacking the city? Once the capital falls, the 700,000 troops at the east and west ends of the northern border of Great Qi will become rootless duckweed, and they will be in a dilemma, and it is certain that they will be surrounded and annihilated by the Turkic iron cavalry. Li Bin pointed to the military map of the north and said carefully, every time Li Bin said a word, Qi Xing, the king of Chu, frowned, and when Li Bin finished speaking, Qi Xing was already full of sorrow, and his brows were tightly locked.
