As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.

The Zhenjiang army suddenly appeared on the battlefield, whether it was arranging troops or setting up camps, showing the momentum of a strong army in every gesture, which immediately made the Turks dare not underestimate it.

Gemar Khan is also a battle-hardened veteran of the empire, and is not only no stranger to things like marching and fighting, but is also a very proficient expert veteran. What kind of level is the Zhenjiang Army, the two sides don't have to compete at all, he already knows it in his heart.

Even if the main force of the 120,000 Yakutia Independent Legion is fully loaded here, the victory or defeat is only between five and five, not to mention, he now only has 80,000 miscellaneous troops in his hands.

Beat? Hit a big watermelon!

Thinking about this, Gema decisively gave an order: the whole army will stick to the camp, and those who dare to fight without permission will be dealt with by military law!

The Turkic generals were generally surprised by such an order to hide in the camp to avoid the war, and although no one protested, everyone was somewhat unhappy. However, unexpectedly, this order was unanimously supported by the generals of Western Xinjiang, and they all said that the old khan was empathetic and very cute.

Gema couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, but he didn't bother to pay attention to these things at the moment, and after returning to the tent from the lookout, Gema immediately ordered someone to find Girus and arrange the secret.

"Now that the main force of the Zhenjiang Army has come to Zijin Pass, then Belen can act!" Gemar Khan lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

Hearing this, Girus hurriedly nodded: "Obey the order, and immediately go and inform the Duke to do it." As he spoke, he turned and was about to walk out.

Gema grabbed Girus and said angrily: "Idiot, Lao Tzu's words are not finished yet, you go and inform a ghost!" ”

"Huh? What else did the khan command? Girus was a little dazed: "Didn't you order Lord Belen to lead his troops to raid Ikru?" ”

Gema made a silent sign on her lips with her finger and whispered, "Shhhhhh You listen carefully, send someone to tell Belen, and let him divide his troops into three routes, all the way 5,000 soldiers and horses, and follow the original plan to attack Ikuru County. Not to occupy the city, but to burn the enemy's grain and grass! Once you succeed, immediately return to Kotani to standby. ”

Girus was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded silently.

Gema continued: "The second way, 10,000 men, to the east. Rouge City, Longcolondo City, and Yinghe Military Town, let him choose a random target to attack, he can choose one of the three, or he can fight all of them, you don't need to ask me, you decide for yourself. After conquering any city, hold on to the city and wait for new orders. ”

He paused slightly, looked around and continued: "There are 50,000 main forces left, as the third way, to secretly approach Metasequoia City. Once it was discovered that the Zhenjiang Army had sent troops to rescue Icoru County in the east, they would take the opportunity to sneak attack the vacant metasequoia and directly end Li Jiangyao's nest! Do you understand? ”

Girus's eyes widened and he muttered in disbelief, "My dear, you're amazing!" The direct raid on the base camp of the Zhenjiang Army was absolutely unexpected by the enemy! But why did you ...... before?"

Gema motioned for him to be quiet again, shook his head and sighed: "Lao Tzu, there is no way to do this!" The spies of the Zhenjiang Army are everywhere, and there is no way to ensure that Li Jiangyao will not know about any plan in advance. As a last resort, I can only talk about it in front of me. The new plan of action is currently only known to me and me, and must not be easily leaked to a third person. ”

"Khan, don't worry, just run it yourself." Girus said: "I will directly convey the order to the Duke himself, and promise not to let Li Jiangyao's spies succeed." ”

After Girus left in a hurry, Gema Khan did not delay, and hurriedly summoned the generals to gather and began to deploy the next battle.

According to his thoughts, in the face of Li Jiangyao's main force of the Zhenjiang Army, there is no hope at all for a hard battle. From the perspective of an expert, neither side can beat each other in terms of the quality of soldiers, the level of training, the morale of the troops, and the weapons and equipment, and the gap is by no means as simple as a little bit.

If the armies on both sides were to attack each other on the plains, Gema was sure that in less than two hours, all the Yakutian soldiers and horses and Western Xinjiang soldiers, including herself, would have to be completely pressed to the ground and beaten violently by the Zhenjiang army.

In two days, the battle of nearly 200,000 people could be basically over.

Therefore, the only thing that can be done now is to hold on. All 80,000 soldiers and horses hid in the camp, relying on simple wooden fences and bows and arrows to prevent the Zhenjiang army from approaching, and they could delay for as long as they could, until the battlefield situation took a turn for the better.

Gema had an idea in his heart, and he was naturally more able to grasp the balance in terms of arranging the troops, and this old man sacrificed his spirit at this time, carefully dispatched men and horses, and arranged a careful defense system based on the four sides of the camp.

However, to the surprise of the Turks, the Zhenjiang army in the distance on the opposite side actually chose to avoid the battle like them.

Except for the first day when they arrived here, the Zhenjiang army put on a terrifying appearance of teeth and claws, and for the next seven or eight days, this army of soldiers and horses always stayed in the plum blossom camp, not an inch, harmless to people and animals. Every day, the Turks heard the sound of drill slogans coming from the camp of the Zhenjiang army, and saw the convoys of grain and grass coming and going in the rear of the camp, and the rest was only peaceful, and there was no sign of war.

Gema Khan stood on the lookout every day, looking at the military camp opposite from a distance, and fell into deep thought. He became more and more convinced that his judgment was correct: Li Jiangyao was playing tricks! The 100,000 army is just a pretense, and the feint to attack Zijin Pass is all a trick!

Fortunately, he was clever and saw the opponent's plot in advance, otherwise he would inevitably fall into the trap of the Tang barbarian. At the moment, Gema was convinced that he was in control of the whole situation, and he couldn't help but feel proud, and he told his men with great ambition that the real battle between the two armies was not here, but the battlefield thousands of miles away.

All the subordinates were confused, and they didn't quite know the meaning of Khan's words, but since the old man was full of confidence, he should not be wrong.

His subordinates trusted the Khan's judgment, but others did not. On the thirteenth day, the guards of the Second Legion Zijin Pass came to the door again.

As soon as he saw Gema, the first thing he said was: "Khan, you said before that there was a small remnant of the Holy Tang Army, did you mean those outside?" Do you have any misunderstanding of the term tiny strands? ”

"yes...... Be...... Hahaha, this remnant of the defeated army is really a bit of a headache. ”

"Just a little bit of a headache, huh?" The guard general said angrily and funny: "According to the general, if the Great Khan knows the situation here, your old head may never hurt again in the future!" ”

Hearing this, Gema couldn't help frowning slightly, and her tone was instantly a little cold: "What do you mean by this?" ”

The guard general from the Golden Clan was not afraid of the leader of the Night Wheel Clan in front of him, and said word by word: "The last general came here this time just to get your own confirmation that those enemies outside are not the small remnants you mentioned before. If so, I will tell the Great Khan and our Princely Highness what is happening here: in front of the Zijin Pass, where my Second Legion is stationed, a large rebel army has suddenly appeared, and you, as the Governor of Western Xinjiang, have explained this only by a small group of enemies. It is your duty to warn the Great Khan for help, and at that time, you will have to give an account. ”

"Presumptuous!" The generals of the Night Wheel Clan who were standing around scolded one after another: "You bold maniac, how dare you be so disrespectful to our Khan? Believe it or not, I cut you! ”

The Golden Clan is the ruling tribe of the Turks, with a noble status, and the guards don't even care about the Khan of the second largest tribe, how can they be afraid of his subordinates, he smiled contemptuously: "Everyone, you don't have to be so angry, since I dare to come and ask Gema Khan in person, I didn't think about what you could do to me." In the final analysis, I am responsible for the Turkic Empire, and I am responsible for the Great Khan. In the face of thousands of rebels threatening the safety of Zijin Pass, do you want me to pretend to be deaf and dumb? ”

Gema's face was gloomy, he waved his hand lightly to stop his subordinates from continuing to attack, and turned to the Zijin Pass guard: "I know that the warriors of the Golden Clan are not afraid of heaven and earth, but, young man, think about it carefully, if I hadn't led the brothers of the Night Wheel Clan to block here, with only 2,000 or so people, would you be able to guard the Zijin Pass behind?" ”

The guard smiled faintly: "Whether you can defend it or not, that's a matter for our Second Legion." Who caused this trouble, Khan must have known in his heart. If the Yakut Legion doesn't stay well in the western frontier, and runs all the way to my defense area to help me block the enemy, I'm afraid it can't be regarded as kind and brave, right? ”

Hearing this, Gema couldn't help but laugh angrily, he stared at the guard for a moment, and suddenly his tone changed, and he said gently: "Good boy, you are right. With my age and status, it shouldn't be disrespectful to call you a child, right? ”

The guard general was in his thirties, and the other party insisted on his identity and qualifications, and he could only nod helplessly, and Gema continued to smile kindly when he saw this: "Child, you have a noble golden bloodline, and you are not afraid of any strong enemy in the world, which I know very well and admire." However, my body is also Turkic blood. Aren't you and I both descendants of the wolf god? Aren't they all the people of the Flame Cult? What is the purpose of us leaving our homeland and coming here thousands of miles? Is it to compete with each other and hurt each other? No, by no means! You, I, we are all the same, in order to follow the banner of the Great Khan, in order to lay a vast world for the descendants of the Turks! Even if you shed blood and die for your country, don't you? ”

The guard general didn't expect that the always arrogant Gemar Khan couldn't help but not get angry, but also raised such a noble tone with a pleasant face and a warm voice, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised, he was silent for a moment, and finally nodded silently.

Seeing that the other party had listened to what he had said, Gema hurriedly continued: "I know that it is taboo for the Yakutia Legion and the Western Xinjiang Reorganization Army to rashly intrude into your jurisdiction without passing through the air in advance. For this, please let me sincerely apologize to you on behalf of the Night Wheel Clan, on behalf of the Yakut Legion, and on behalf of the Western Xinjiang Governor's Office. ”

With that, he got up slightly, put his right hand on his left chest, and bowed slightly to the guard.

The guards of Zijin Pass couldn't help but be surprised.

Gema is not only the leader of the second largest tribe of the Turks, but also the father-in-law of the eldest prince Chili, and his status is so noble that in the entire empire, except for Ashina Zhijin, no one is afraid to match. Before, because of military affairs, the guard general relied on his identity as a golden clan and the background of the second legion, and dared to denounce him, and he was not afraid, but now Gema actually condescended to him and took the initiative to bow and apologize to him, which is really unbearable. The guard hurriedly returned the salute and said: "The last general does not dare, I have just offended the Khan, and I ask you to forgive me." ”

Gema stepped forward a few steps and took his hand with a smile: "Child, I hope you can also understand my difficulties." The remnants of the Holy Tang are too cunning, they have been lurking all over the Western Frontier, plotting to resist our Turkic Empire, and even I have been deceived. Some time ago, these people suddenly gathered together in a vain attempt to cross the Zijin Pass and attack the back of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, threatening the safety of the Great Khan. You see, our Yakutia Legion is not good at controlling the ghosts and deserts in the Western Frontier, although it is said that it is guilty, but we should always focus on the overall situation first. The conflict between the Golden Clan and the Night Wheel Clan broke out, who was happy? It's not that the enemy is happy. So I mean, how about waiting until we've pacified the hateful rebels, and then we're dealing with the internal problems? ”

He thought about it seriously, looked at Gema and said, "Khan, you are right, the overall situation of the Turkic Empire is more important, just ...... It's the last general who is reckless. Tell me, how do you need me to cooperate? ”
