North of the Datang border, a snowstorm raged.

The god of the steppe seems to have been angry and no longer blessed his pious people.

No matter how the Turks begged their grandfathers to tell their grandmothers, cattle and sheep still died in large numbers in the extreme cold.

Then there is the death of people from freezing and starvation, and then there is the shrinking of habitats and the extinction of tribes......

Of course.

All this suffering was not intuitively felt by the Great Khan Jieli, who stood at the top of the pyramid.

He could still lie in the warm tent, holding a Mei Ji in his left and right hands, enjoying the warmth in the ice and snow.

Suddenly, the curtain of the tooth tent opened a crack.

Whew!

A gust of cold wind blew in with a few flakes of snow, making Meiji's body on the bed tremble and shrink a little in the direction of Jieli.

"Who?"

Jieli squinted his eyes slightly, and said displeasedly,

"Didn't you say don't bother Ben Khan for a while?"

"Everything in the tribe is handed over to Desire Valley to deal with, and I will also learn from the Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Yuan, and be the ......emperor for a time."

At this moment, he looks fat and bloated lying on the kang, where is he still in high spirits three years ago, and he looks like he stepped on Chang'an?

A pure fat pig who eats, drinks and enjoys, and has no ambitions.

"Great Khan, it's me, Kang Sumi."

The person who came knelt down on one knee and bowed, and answered.

Jieli Khan got up slightly, looked at Kang Sumi, and said:

"It's Kang Sumi...... Get up. ”

"What's the matter?"

It doesn't matter what happens, but the power still has to be in your own hands.

Therefore, there must still be a confidant minister who has the ability to do things.

The person in front of him is his right-hand man, and it is also an important path for him to control the whole clan.

"Back to the Great Khan."

Kang Sumi got up and reported,

"More than 10 percent of the cattle and sheep in the tribe have died."

"The men in the clan quarreled over the ownership of the carcasses of cattle and sheep, and even intensified into a group fight!"

"The contradiction is fierce, and I ask the Great Khan to mediate in person."

Click.

Jieli Khan's back rested against the bed.

"Heh......"

He scoffed,

"What is a big deal about me, just such a small thing, and you are here to disturb my sleep?"

"This kind of thing, you can come forward to resolve it, or let Desire Valley set up."

"If they still won't stop, fight! Clan law disposal! ”

"Isn't that enough...... Alas. ”

With that, Jieli lay back in his warm bed.

He plans to follow Li Yuan's example, be idle, have a few more babies, and make more contributions to the Turkic fertility cause.

However, Kang Sumi did not answer.

"Great Khan, I'm afraid this time, it's not that simple......"

His face was a little ugly,

"It snows all day long, and the clansmen can't go out, they don't eat or drink."

"The only thing that can keep them alive is beef and mutton, cow and goat milk. Living cattle and sheep are precious resources that cannot be moved. Those frozen cattle and sheep became food for everyone to grab like crazy. ”

"You may not know it, but now people in the tribe are freezing to death and starving to death every day."

"The clansmen are not robbing cattle and sheep to death, but their own lives! If this group fight cannot be stopped, even greater chaos will inevitably break out, and at that time, maybe you will be affected! ”

When Jieli heard this, he snorted coldly.

"Ripple?"

He said disdainfully,

"Those bastards, not afraid of Ben Khan's army? Aren't you afraid of Ben Khan's golden sword? ”

"Alright, alright! Kang Sumi, it's not Ben Khan who said you, you are not our Turks, this temperament is still too weak, when you encounter this kind of thing, you will ignore it, and you will directly send out the army! ”

"Kill those thorns, and naturally no one will make trouble."

As he spoke, Jieli threw a gold medal from the bed.

"Go, give me the order, and send three hundred wolves to ride over."

He commanded,

"Whoever dares to make trouble and brawl again, let the wolf rider deal with them all!"

"This is how we Turks handle things!"

"Go ahead!"

Kang Sumi: "......"

Looking at the gold medal on the ground, he frowned.

"Great Khan, although the suppression by force is useful, it can only be effective for a while......"

Kang Sumi persuaded again,

"The resentment in the hearts of the clansmen is the root, if you don't resolve it, I'm afraid it will ......"

"Go!" Jieli Khan raised his tone and his expression became impatient.

“…… Be. ”

Kang Sumi had no choice but to pick up the gold medal and take the order.

"He's so cowardly......"

Mei Ji on the left held the arm of Jieli Khan, and said,

"In terms of courage, not even a single hair of the Great Khan can be compared."

The one on the right followed closely behind and patted the horse:

"That's it, you have to ask the Great Khan for such a trivial matter, little man, it's really useless......"

"Great Khan, did you say?"

When Jieli heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha...... The Sogdians, yes, are less daring than the rabbits of the steppe. ”

He said triumphantly,

"However, such people are easy to use and control."

"The dog used to be Ben Khan, that's the best."

The two Miki giggled.

Just when the three of them were ready to have an in-depth exchange of experience in giving birth to a baby.

Whew!

The curtain was suddenly lifted again, this time, not a small opening, but a large part of it directly!

The wind and snow swept into the tent, and the cold wind almost blew out the brazier!

"Ahh

Mei Ji on the outside screamed and said angrily,

"Who allowed you to be so rude? Your Majesty, these dogs under your command need to be disciplined and disciplined! ”

Jieli was also unhappy.

If the spell is interrupted again, can it be refreshing?

Seeing that the person who came was still Kang Sumi, he was even more unhappy.

"Kang Sumi! You're so lacking in discipline! Want to get whipped? ”

Jie Li shouted angrily,

"Get me the whip!"

As Concubine Ji said, these dogs under his command can't be too good to them, otherwise they will easily kick their noses in the face!

Occasionally, also discipline discipline!

However, he didn't see the look on Kang Sumi's face at this moment, full of horror!

"Great Khan! Oh no! ”

Kang Sumi shouted,

"Tang Jun...... The Tang army is coming! ”

Jieli: "!! ”

In just a few words, Jieli's heart contracted suddenly, and his whole body trembled!

Adrenaline, crazy rush!

Phew!

The quilt was lifted, and he hurriedly got up and put on his clothes haphazardly, and said:

"You...... What did you say? ”

"Tang Jun? Who is it? Make it clear! ”

The two beauties of the "Great Khan ......" were charming, and they wanted to hug Jieli with their snake-like arms, but they were slapped by Jieli's backhand.

"Oops, get out of here!"

Jieli shouted,

"Get out! Get out of here! ”

Two Mei Ji: "......"

You weren't like that in bed just now! You really don't recognize people when you put on your clothes?

Although they were full of grievances, the two were only high-ranking slave girls after all, and under the rough drive of Jieli, they had to put on their clothes and brave the wind and snow to get out of the tooth tent.

"Back to the Great Khan, it's the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty who came, about more than three thousand, about five thousand!"

Kang Su Mi urgent,

"I also just heard a report from the soldiers at the outpost, and the range that can be seen in this snowy sky has been greatly reduced!"

"With the speed of this cavalry, we can kill our base camp in more than an hour at the earliest!"

Jieli: "!! ”

In the last second, he was still in Gentle Township, and this second he was going to face the Tang Army's iron-hoof sword!

The ups and downs of life are so exciting that he is in a trance at the moment!

"Five thousand cavalry, five thousand cavalry ......"

Jieli paced in his tent in disheveled clothes, and whispered,

"Kang Sumi, tell me, how many soldiers and horses do we still have?!"

"Great Khan, if you can't gather it immediately, there are about twenty or thirty thousand people." Kang Su said, "In more than an hour, I can barely assemble and rush to the battle, but I think this is only the vanguard of the Tang Army!" So, the Great Khan can't fight! ”

Jieli's heart sank.

"You mean, Li Shimin launched a full-scale war against the Turks?!"

He said quickly.

"Yes, with Li Shimin's character, either he doesn't fight, as long as he makes a move, it must be a big army to attack!"

Kang Sumi analyzed,

"It's been three years, since the Weishui Alliance, Datang has been recuperating for three years!"

"The Turks, on the other hand, have suffered a low point for three years, and in the past three years, the extremely cold and freezing weather has not stopped! The Khitan, Xue Yantuo, Hui and other tribes also betrayed one after another, and they were unable to win the two wars, and our Turkic national strength was greatly reduced. ”

"Datang sees all this."

"To launch a war this time, Datang must have expected Dingxiang to be weak, so he resolutely launched a war and attacked the whole country!"

"I estimate that with the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, the troops they used in this battle will definitely be more than 100,000! Behind this cavalry, there is an endless army! ”

A cold sweat broke out in his palms.

He panicked, completely panicked!

Even the footsteps are a little vain.

"One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand!"

Jieli Khan gritted his teeth and said,

"Li Shimin, have you forgotten the covenant between us? You perfidious dog! ”

"Undeclared war, you want me to die, you want me to die!"

At this moment, Jieli greeted the eighteenth generation of Li Shimin's ancestors in his heart!

"Great Khan, now is not the time to scold, it's time to make a choice!"

Kang Sumiliandao,

"Shall we fight, or shall we withdraw first?"

"If it is a battle, with the strength of my tribe's army, it should not be a problem to block these five thousand cavalry, but I am afraid that after a fierce battle, the Tang army will fight more and more!"

"Five thousand cavalry is not terrible, but if the 100,000 army forms an encirclement, we will definitely die!"

Jieli: "!! ”

He was so distraught that he didn't know what to do.

"If we retreat, we still have more than an hour to buffer."

Kang Sumi continued,

"With more than 20,000 soldiers and horses escorting the Great Khan, we can safely retreat to the Mobei grassland."

"As long as you return to the grassland, the life of the Great Khan will be saved, there is an old saying in the Central Plains, it is called to stay in the green mountains, and you don't have to worry about no firewood!"

"As long as you are still there, the Great Khan, when the time comes, after a little rest and then raise your arms, won't the powerful Turkic Empire rise again?"

Under his analysis and persuasion, Jieli's brows became more and more wrinkled, and he almost twisted into a twist!

"Take away the ...... of the soldiers and horses"

Jieli whispered,

"What about the tribe? So many people, so many cattle and sheep, so much wealth! ”

You know, when he moved the capital to Dingxiang, he moved most of his belongings!

If you run away from the wilderness at this time, will you have to abandon them all?

"My Great Khan!"

Kang Sumi said anxiously,

"When is it, saving your life has become a problem, what kind of people are you considering?"

"Time is always passing, and the Tang Army is always advancing! Every time you hesitate for a while, the Tang army will advance hundreds of steps more! ”

"When the time comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if I want to!"

"Do you want to be the soul of the Tang Army? Or be Li Shimin's slave? ”

"Make a decision!"

He kept urging, the more Cui went, the more chaotic Jieli's heart became, and the more he couldn't calm down and think.

In Kang Sumi's mouth, the 100,000 heavenly soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are about to arrive at his loyal Dingxiang!

At that moment, there was another rush of footsteps outside.

"Great Khan, the Tang army is here! There are thousands of cavalry in Wuyang, and they are all elite in terms of posture! ”

"Great Khan, let me go and meet that general!"

"Great Khan ......"

Several generals got the news and ran to Jieli to ask for battle.

"Shut up!"

Kang Sumi rebuked viciously,

"Still thinking about fighting? You want the Great Khan to die without a place to be buried! ”

He fell to his knees and said earnestly;

"Great Khan, retreat! As long as we can get away, we will have the opportunity to talk to Datang on an equal footing, and maybe we can turn hostility into friendship. ”

At this time, Jieli's son Desire Gu Shi also walked into the tent and knelt down on one knee to offer advice:

"Father Khan, the Tang army is coming suddenly, and I don't know how many follow-up troops there are."

"I thought that we should adopt Kang Sumi's suggestion, retreat first, and send envoys to pretend to surrender, so as to paralyze the Tang Emperor, and wait for them to suspend their march, and we will catch them off guard again!"

Kang Sumi nodded repeatedly.

"Great Khan, I am willing to stay as a messenger to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty!"

He shouted,

"Great Khan, as long as you can get away, there will still be suspense about who will win and lose in this war!"

"Go to Yin Mountain, cross the white road, and you will be the world of grassland eagles!"

Jieli was shocked.

He looked at Kang Sumi, who had a sincere face, and couldn't help but be a little moved.

"Kang Sumi, you are really the greatest loyal servant of Ben Khan...... was willing to take such a big risk for the sake of the sweat. ”

Jieli helped Kang Sumi up, gritted his teeth and decided,

"Good...... All right! ”

"According to what you say, after you are broken, Ben Khan will lead his troops to the north of Yinshan, and then make a plan!"

"If you want to go down, tell me to go down immediately!"

"Yes!" Desire Valley set up and left, quickly gathering his army.

"Kang Sumi, you just stay here and pacify the rest of the clansmen......"

Jieli Khan patted Kang Sumi's shoulder and sighed,

"Believe in Ben Khan, Ben Khan will definitely come back!"

The matter was urgent, the Tang army's aggression was like fire, and he chose to retreat at the moment, like a lost dog!

But even if you are unwilling, being a lost dog is better than being a pet dog of Datang and a dead dog!

"I believe it."

Kang Sumi's expression was firm, and he said,

"I will definitely wait for you to come back and save your people!"

Smack.

Jieli said no more, tapped him on the shoulder twice, and then turned his head and walked quickly into the snowstorm......
