While Tu Li gathered his troops and exercised his troops, preparing to take advantage of the right opportunity to obtain some unexpected wealth, Xu Yunyan was also leading his troops to prepare for war.
After the soldiers and horses on his side were completely able to command like an arm, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he looked at the tens of thousands of Tang troops.
With such a ten-thousand-strong Tang army, coupled with the special detachment formed by the old soldiers that he had removed, which could launch unexpected attacks on the enemy, it would be easy to defeat the Turks.
"Turkish children, are you ready? Dad is coming to teach you a lesson!"
However, Xu Yunyan was busy here, Tu Li was also preparing here, and Jie Li was also staring at Tu Li when the good news came from the west.
As expected, Jieli was not disappointed. After the expedition, he galloped across the plains of the plains and came to the countries in the Western Regions. Although some of these small countries in the Western Regions had large populations and tens of thousands of people who could fight, in front of this Turkic army Like a chicken or a dog.
Although they were numerically superior and had city walls to rely on, under the threat of the brave and extremely bloodthirsty Turks, the city was breached by a group of Turkic soldiers without any chance to refute, and all those who dared not surrender Extermination of the race...
After all the countries in the Western Region were subdued, Zhishishili returned to the Turks with a large amount of food, grass, and money to meet their great khan, Jieli Khan.
"Khan, I brought it back..."
Jieli was so happy that he could get so much harvest by sending just one general. Now Jieli couldn't help but want to take turns arranging people to go out to rob.
While Jieli was here digesting the numerous treasures brought by Zhishisili from the west, Ashina Simo also sent an envoy to report to Jieli.
"Report, Great Khan, General Ashinasmo has sent someone back to ask for an audience with the Khan!"
Jieli, who was watching a group of Western singing and dancing people arranged by Zhishu Sili, kept dancing here, ignored his own messenger arranged by Ashina Simo, while the guard was a little helpless and didn't know what to do.
You don't care about your interests, but you can't care about your losses.
Here again I shout "Sweat!"
At this moment, Jieli finally reacted. After looking at Zhishusi Li, he looked at the person in front of him and asked.
"What's going on? Didn't you see that I'm in a good mood now, watching the singing and dancing here? Just come and disturb me. If there is no good news, I won't make it easy for you."
"Well?"
This suddenly frightened the people who came to deliver the information.
"Great Khan, General Ashina Simo asked Xiao to come and report. The Tuli tribe has moved..."
But before the messenger finished speaking, Jieli became furious.
"What? The Tuli tribe has moved. What do they want to do?"
Jie Li was also afraid that Tu Li would become stronger and attack him secretly.
"It seems like we are going south to enjoy the autumn breeze."
"An autumn breeze blows in the south? Let him!"
But as soon as Jie Li was reassured, Zhishu Si Li stood next to him and said something.
"Khan!"
Jie Li may not care about other people, but he cannot ignore his close and beloved generals. Then he looked at Zhishu Si Li and said.
"Just say what you have to say. Is there anything you can't say to me?"
The captain's heart warmed up, and he looked at the noisy crowd at the scene. A group of centurions and centurions under Jieli's command were watching the people from the Western Regions performing a dance performance in this tent. It was called A joy, and when Jieli saw this, he also understood the meaning of Zhishui Sili.
Jie Li waved his hand, "You all, please step back."
After everyone retreated, Jie Li looked at Zhisi Sili and said, "Can we talk now?"
"Great Khan, I suspect that if Tuli goes to the south to fight against the autumn wind, he will use our name and frame us."
But after Ji Shili just finished speaking, Jieli smiled.
"Whatever, if he dares to go, let him go. If it's in our name, we'll let him hand over some more stuff. He'll lose some manpower no matter what if he goes south.
Originally, we have fewer manpower than us. If he dares not to obey our wishes and give us something, then we will beat him. "
Jieli was in high spirits, but Sili could only agree with him.
"Khan Shengming! It's just..."
Just seeing Zhishu Sili still sitting here, Jieli became a little impatient.
"Why are you so hesitant? Just say whatever you have to say. Is there anything else you need to keep in front of me?"
After Zhishu Si Li Zai Jieli once emphasized that he absolutely believed in himself, he was so moved that he spoke to Jieli here.
"Khan, I'm scared."
"Afraid? What are you afraid of?"
Jie Li looked at Zhishu Sili and smiled.
"You led 10,000 people to the Western Regions and defeated so many small countries and made them bow to us. Are you still afraid?"
"Yes, Khan, I'm still a little scared. This Tuli has been flirting with the Tang Dynasty. I'm afraid that he will suddenly move this person to the border of the Tang Dynasty. What if he gets involved with the Tang Dynasty?"
When Zhi Shi Si Li said this, Jie Li laughed.
"You are overthinking. After all, this Tuli is also the second Khan of our great Turks. He is a person with noble Turkic blood. How could he give up his dignity as a Turk to mix with the Tang people? You are overthinking. This I really overthought it once.”
But even though Jie Li was here telling Zhishu Sili that he was overthinking, he still left one thought in his heart.
If such a situation really occurs, how should you choose?
Immediately, Jie Li was knocking on the table, while Zhishu Sili was staring at him.
Finally, Jieli made up his mind and said to him, "We can't help but guard against what you said. Then we will leave troops with the same strength as Tuli.
Other soldiers and horses are looking for me in other places, north and west. No matter what, you have to find me the same number of people as our original tribe and gather them here.
At that time, even if Tuli really betrayed us, we wouldn't be without the strength to fight. "
"Great Khan Holy Ming!"
Zhi Shi Si Li said this, and Jie Li waved his hand and immediately went out to mobilize troops and horses, and then went to the west and north to fight.
But just when Zhi Shi Si Li was about to walk out of the camp, Jie Li suddenly said another sentence.
"How about we attack first, eliminate Tuli first, and gather his tribe?"
It's just that Zhi Shi Si Li was very magnanimous when he walked out, but he immediately trembled after hearing these words.
"This is not okay, Great Khan. This must never be done. If we really launch an attack on Tuli and allow the Tang people in the south to take advantage, we will be doomed."
Jieli thought about it, and then sighed.
"Then let Tuli do his thing. If this scene really happens, I won't be able to spare him."
But just as Jie Li said this, Zhi Shi Si Li added.
"Khan, even if Tuli leads his people to surrender to the Tang people in the south, are all the small tribes that he has annexed willing to be driven by him? As long as the Great Khan gives them a certain amount of profit, they will all switch sides. , even when fighting against the Tang Army, if these people hit us from behind, we can turn defeat into victory."
"Yes, this is also a good suggestion. Then go to Feige to pass a message and tell Ashina Simo to let him communicate with the leaders of the small tribes in Tuli at all times. If Tuli really dares to do anything outrageous, If you can't talk about things, just leave him alone."
After things in the north were almost arranged, Jie Li looked eastward from the tent door along the gap opened by Zhishu Sili.
"Tu Li, don't let me down. If you really do such a thing, we really can't be so stable as brothers anymore. At that time, it will be you and me. When you go to see me, what will happen first?" Khan, let’s see what you have to say.”
While the two major tribes in the north were making arrangements here, Tuli gathered a group of elite troops to prepare for another plunder of the Yanmen area.
In front of the 20,000 elite cavalry selected, Tu Lina was arrogant.
Looking at the cavalry who were armed to the teeth, Tuli ordered.
"You all remember, we are the warriors of the Great Turks. We only have one slogan when we go out, that is, we are the warriors of the Great Turks. Don't let the enemy know that we are the Tuli tribe.
Half of the loot captured this time will be yours to handle. "
Tu Li asked to deliberately hide his elite so that Tang people would not know what he had done, and he would have room for maneuver when he really contacted Li Tang again in the future.
Just when Tuli and his 20,000 troops were hiding day and night and quietly approaching Yanmen, Xu Yunyan, who had already gathered the army for training, happened to lead the army to the border.
The message he received was to ensure the safety of the Northland no matter what.
Although Li Shimin didn't explicitly tell him how to act, he could either defend or attack.
Xu Guichang, the magistrate of Yanmen County in the North, was sitting in the hall, looking at the documents in his hands dejectedly.
"It's another year of evaluation, and I'm still in the middle. I'm neither promoted nor demoted. I'm still working as a county magistrate in Yanmen County."
Xu Guichang was here in mourning, and after the news was spread by a county official, the entire Yanmen residents clapped their hands and applauded.
"That's great, the county magistrate didn't leave."
"It's great. As long as the county magistrate is here, we will have the confidence to rebuild our home here."
"The county magistrate..."
The joyful atmosphere outside the city and the unhappy look of Xu Guichang inside the county government were in sharp contrast. When the news reached Xu Guichang's ears, Xu Guichang felt helpless.
Although he didn't leave, it would be nice to be able to benefit someone in Yanmen.
After Xu Guichang finally put down the official documents in his hand, he stood up again and looked to the north.
"Tujue, you just wait for me. I didn't leave. I also have a chance. When Wang Shibei conquers the Turks, I will definitely go into battle with them to avenge my wife's murder. You just wait for me. I I won’t let it go with you.”
Just when Xu Guichang was roaring in the lobby. More than ten figures in casual clothes walked in from the gate of the county government office, and the police officer in the Yanmen County government office was quite surprised.
"Trespassing to the county government office?"
Everyone rushed forward, "What are you doing? Why did you rush into the county government office without making a sound? It is a serious crime to rush into the county government office."
Xu Yunyan smiled when he looked at these people who were loyal to their duties and blocked him.
"Let your county magistrate come out. I haven't seen your county magistrate for a long time, so I came here specifically to see your magistrate."
These people couldn't help but get angry when they saw how these guys didn't take their county magistrate seriously at all.
"What are you doing? You want to see my county prince without opening your mouth? Don't you know that my county prince is a serious, seventh-grade county prince? You can't meet him just because you want to."
When these people said this, Xu Yunyan became curious.
"I didn't expect that Xu Guichang could become a seventh-grade county magistrate. This is a grade only reserved for magistrates of superior counties."
Yanmen had always been in his mind as a middle-lower county, and the county magistrate was a county magistrate who topped out at the seventh rank. Unexpectedly, it became the seventh rank.
It's gratifying, but what about the seventh grade? Which of the school captains behind you is not a seventh-grade official? Although it is only from the seventh grade.
