However, Yelu Changlong also knew that these reasons could not be said on the surface.

Because it will greatly damage the fighting spirit and confidence of the tribe, once it affects the whole army, the consequences are unpredictable.

After all, the three tribes in the north are different from the Central Plains, they don't have much loyalty to talk about, more about interests. Once those clansmen below find out that there is a danger in following the Yelu tribe, I am afraid that it will be easy for them to choose to join the enemy.

But if the army is really mobilized, I am afraid that the end will be worse than patience, at least the current Yelu Changlong really has no chance of winning against this, even if he can find Wanyan to join forces.

was entangled in his heart, and his eyes naturally fell on the person he trusted the most-Xu Wenqi.

Although this is from the Han Chinese, he is indeed loyal enough to himself, and he is also precise in his eyes and outstanding in ability, and he is a rare strategist and staff.

After being looked at by him, Xu Wenqi also took advantage of the situation to speak: "What the generals said is that what the generals said is that what they have done like the people of Murowei has indeed broken through the bottom line of cooperation between our three departments, and if we don't respond, I'm afraid that our Yelu Department will not be able to raise its head in the future." ”

He opened his mouth according to the meaning of everyone, but let the important members of the Yiganye Law Department nod for it, it seems that the matter is really going to be done.

Yelu Changlong understands the habits of this henchman, so there must be a twist.

Sure enough, I saw Xu Wenqi change his words again: "But haven't you thought about what kind of danger we will bring to the three parts of us and the entire northern Xinjiang if we act like this?"

"If we really have civil strife, we will give the Han people in the south a chance to take advantage of it. Whether it is the Liangzhou army or the Pingtian army, they have always been looking for opportunities to use troops to the north to recapture the northern frontier. Now we have to add Ludi's soldiers and horses, if we mess up first, the consequences will be too serious. ”

"Yes, Mr. Xu's concerns are right, we must not ignore the overall situation because of a momentary anger." Yelu Changlong's spirit perked up, and he immediately echoed.

"Is it because of this bullshit that we have to be treated like this by the people of Murowei? If we go any further, everything we have in the north will be taken away by them! ”

"That is, we can't tolerate such a thing!"

But the leaders refused to compromise, and in their eyes, there was no such thing as swallowing their anger, and they should fight back with a tooth for a tooth!

Xu Wenqi didn't feel flustered because of this, but said with a smile: "Everyone's thoughts naturally understand, and I didn't say that I would just forget it." ”

"Then you say, what else can we do to retaliate?"

"Retreat, retreat to the grassland!" Xu Wenqi's answer immediately made everyone present silent, and then all of them widened their eyes and stared at him: "What did you say?" ”

If it weren't for Yelu Changlong's presence, these people would have stepped forward to discuss with Xu Wenqi with knives.

And even Yelu Changlong himself was speechless for a while by this earth-shattering statement, what kind of countermeasure are you, and is there a more cowardly performance than this?

"Taiji, leaders, listen to me." Xu Wenqi hurriedly explained, "The so-called retreat is not really subdued to the Murowei people, but to make a gesture and put them on the fire to roast.

"When we retreated, we were making it clear to the Great Khan and everyone that we would not endure this breath, and if the people of Murowei refused to give me an explanation, then the three clans would never be one again.

"In this way, those who don't care about the overall situation will become other people, even if they really want to meet each other in the future, we will also take a reason.

"Also, in the past few years, we have occupied fifteen cities in Northern Xinjiang, have we really gained any benefits?

"No, there may be a harvest of food, but it is much more than what we have looted in the past. But our tribal warriors, because these cities need to be defended, are all restrained.

"Take this time to enter Ludi, for example, it is because I can't attack with all my strength that I will fail one after another. It can be said that these cities have become a burden to us, and we have lost our mobility and lethality as a grassland tribe! ”

After this analysis, many people really have some thoughts, is this really the case?

Xu Wenqi looked at the thoughtful Yelu Changlong, and said earnestly: "In that case, why don't we take this opportunity to get rid of these shackles?" The vast grasslands in the north are the world where we can show our strengths.

"Didn't the people of Murowei want a city? We gave it to him, and then we also threw all the pressure on them in the face of the soldiers and horses of the Han people in the south. Just use these fifteen cities and their ambitions to completely drag down the Murwei Department!

"Of course, if we give up the fifteen cities, we don't really want anything, all kinds of things in the city, weapons and tools, including personnel, we can take them away, leaving them only an empty city, as well as the old and weak......

"Then, go to the Great Khan again, and report the crimes of the Murowei people, if not to make them pay for it, it is enough to let everyone in the steppe know that they are the one who is on the wrong side. And then, the fifteen cities in the northern Xinjiang have become a burden that they must defend to the end.

"Taiji, if we want to do this, not only do we have to do this, but we also need to give up other cities like us. And in my opinion, the Wanyan Department, which also suffered a big loss this time, will definitely accept to join forces with us. ”

This strategy of retreating as advancing, putting the room on the fire to roast, and using the enemy's strength to deal with them, there may be many ghost leaders in the hall who don't understand the ruthlessness, but Yelu Changlong quickly understood, and showed a different smile, and clapped the decision: "Just do as you say." Command the cities to prepare everything within five days, and we will depart. Then send a message to the Yan Ministry, so that they can also act like us.

"Don't the people of Murobe want these cities? I'll give them all! ”

Since Yelu Changlong, who is the backbone and leader, has made up his mind, whether the subordinates understand it or not, they can only do it at this time. At least in the short term, they are still willing to act in unison with their own tribe, after all, if they want to change their court and vote for the Murowei Department, they will have to start all over again from the bottom.

So, at this point in early September, when the dispute between Lu and Di had just come to an end, there were once again great changes in northern Xinjiang that were enough to affect the direction of the whole world.

Within ten days, the Yelu Department and the Wanyan Department withdrew from the key cities in the northern Xinjiang they occupied one after another and retreated back to the grassland.

And these vacated cities naturally fell into the hands of the Murowei people who still remained in the local area.

Perhaps this was a great opportunity for the ambitious Murowei people to rise to prominence, but by the time the news did reach the south, many were already ready to move.

At this time, Sun Ning and his entourage finally arrived in Luoyang City.

Some people died, but not completely......
