On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 290 Speculation on Mind (Fifth Change)
The Turks' two raids on the camp last night ended in failure. In fact, they only lost more than a thousand people. Compared with the size of the 13 coalition forces, it was not worth a day.

But Dulan Khan still underestimated the impact of these two defeats, especially for the [-] Eastern Turkic soldiers.

It is true that he was cautious enough, and even handed over all the Turkic soldiers who followed Cui Che to the Dujin Mountain expedition to his son Yu Qincha, and the guards moved to the west of Dujin Mountain to prevent them from defecting.

But even those who stayed in Xian'e Hebei, these years, they often heard Cui Che's reputation from those who participated in the war.

In addition to the repeated defeats of the Turks against the Sui Dynasty in recent years, even though the 13 Turkic allied forces are more than the [-] Sui troops, they are indeed at a disadvantage psychologically.

Seeing the low morale of his subordinates, Dulan Khan was anxious like ants on a hot pot. He desperately needed a victory to boost morale, even if it was just a small victory.

In this regard, Datou Khan also quite agrees.

On the same day, the two sent envoys to the camp of the Sui army to make an appointment to fight with Cui Che.

Cui Che looked at the envoy with great interest, and asked:
"What kind of tactics do Lan and Datou want?"

The Messenger relayed:

"Either send thousands of elite soldiers to fight in formation, or send warriors to fight in front of the formation."

Cui Che turned his head and laughed with his subordinates:
"These two are stupid and have no resourcefulness, so they want to show off my courage."

Everyone laughed, the messenger couldn't hold back his face, he suppressed his anger and said:
"Whether to fight or not to fight, Duke Yan's words are accurate, so why bother to hurt others!"

Cui Che suppressed his smile, and said in a deep voice:
"Go back and tell Dulan and Datou that I am different from them and will never treat the lives of soldiers as a trifle.

"Let people fight in front, but I just watch the excitement from behind, such a thing, the benevolent will not do it, and neither will the wise!

"If they want to fight, at noon tomorrow, we will set up our soldiers and horses and have a big fight by the Xian'e River!"

The envoy really couldn't figure it out. Before the big battle, isn't it common for hundreds or thousands of people from each side to fight on a small scale?

How did it get into Cui Che's mouth, it seemed like a huge crime.

The envoy still wanted to explain, but Cui Che lost his patience and listened to his nonsense. Based on the principle of the two countries fighting each other and not beheading the envoy, he expelled the Turkic envoy from the camp. There is an opportunity to observe the camp of the Sui Army.

After the envoy left, all the generals of the Sui Army left one after another and went back to inspect the tents. Only Mai Tiezhang remained. He really wanted to fight against the Turks.

"Why should Duke Yan not do this, I will take the head of the enemy general for Duke Yan!"

Relying on his strength, Mai Tiezhang spoke boldly.

Of course, he is indeed brave, and Cui Che had already experienced it when he saw him bring back twenty noses.

Cui Che smiled and said:

"Last night's attack on the camp failed, and today I was eager to ask for an appointment to fight, but I didn't dare to fight. It must be that the Turkic people's morale was frustrated. They should be anxious, so why should I be anxious.

"Besides, since Dulan and Datou took the initiative to propose this matter, there must be heroes in the army.

"Of course I know that General Mai is as brave as Shi Wansui, but I have my own plan to defeat the enemy, so why should you take risks."

Hearing Cui Che compare him to Shi Wansui, Mai Tiezhang opened his mouth almost to the bottom of his ears, but waved his hands again and again:

"General Shi has made outstanding achievements, and the last general cannot be compared with him for the time being."

He didn't ask Cui Che what the trick to defeat the enemy was, Mai Tiezhang knew it, and Cui Che would definitely tell him when it was time for him to know.

However, in fact, Cui Che just said casually, now that Turkic has not revealed his flaws, it is so easy to think of a way.

After the Turkic envoy was released, he hurried back to the camp, found Dulan Khan and Datou Khan, and truthfully relayed Cui Che's words for them.

Datou Khan was very dissatisfied with Cui Che's attitude, and was still complaining and abusing him.

Dulan Khan pondered for a while, but his eyes lit up, and he said to Datou Khan:
"I know Cui Che's intention!"

Datou Khan looked at Du Lan in confusion, and said in his heart: You know again?

Dulan Khan ignored Datou's suspicion, and said to himself:

"Cui Che is a man who understands people's hearts. The reason why he said this is that if we agree, we will only focus on tomorrow's battle and relax tonight!"

Datou Khan thought about it carefully, and felt that this was really the case.

Dulan Khan continued:
"We might as well stick to the plan and promise to fight the Sui army tomorrow.

"Tonight, they set up an ambush in the camp, waiting for Cui Che to throw himself into the trap.

"This person is used to attacking camps, so he will definitely not let go of this opportunity!"

When Datou Khan heard this, he clapped his hands and laughed loudly:
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

So he asked the envoy to go again and go to Sui Ying to inform Cui Che.

The envoy arrived at the Sui army camp in the afternoon, and was blindfolded again and sent into the tent. He just took off the black cloth from his eyes when he heard Cui Che ask:
"You go and come back, but Dulan and Datou agreed to the big battle tomorrow?"

The messenger bowed and said:

"Reporting to Lord Yan, my family's sweat said that tomorrow at noon, we will have a life-and-death battle with Lord Yan at the bank of the Xian'e River!"

Cui Che unconsciously changed his sitting position, he said:

"In this case, there is no need to say much. I will wait for the Turks to go south tomorrow."

After all, he shouted to the attendants outside the tent:
"Come on! See off!"

The envoy was sent away again, and the generals under the tent were all expressing their opinions and offering suggestions for the layout of tomorrow's decisive battle, but Cui Che frowned and remained silent.

After a while, he stood up, and there was no sound in the tent.

Cui Che pondered and said:
"The Turks should not be willing to fight me urgently, otherwise why would they invite me to fight in order to revive their morale.

"Is it possible that there is fraud in this?"

Everyone also fell into deep thought following Cui Che's train of thought.

One of Cui Che's confidantes, Zhao Mu guessed:

"Could it be that Turkic wants me to relax my vigilance and attack the camp again tonight?"

It can only be said that he and Dulan Khan's thinking matched.

But Cui Che shook his head, he said that Dulan and Datou were brave and foolish, but last night Turkic knew about the second night attack, which is somewhat wise.

Dulan Khan has known him for many years and they know each other quite well, how could he despise him so much.

After much deliberation, he couldn't find the reason, so Cui Che had no choice but to send Zhao Mu to the Turkic camp to find out.

It can be regarded as trying luck, and it would be a good thing if you can detect some clues.

At dusk, Zhao Mu finally returned to the Sui army camp.

Although he entered the Turkic camp, he was blindfolded, and he had nothing to gain when he paid homage to Datou and Dulan.

After Zhao Mu left, Dulan Khan proudly said to Datou Khan:
"Then Zhao Mu has nothing important to do, but he came to pay his respects. He must have come to scout the road. Cui Che will definitely come tonight!"

Seeing the way he was holding the wisdom beads, Datou Khan was also convinced.
