Chapter 398 Choice
"You three, who can tell me what happened?" Jieli Khan roared like a tiger with a wounded head in the secret room of the palace. If Princess Yicheng hadn't reminded him in time, the defense he had finally built would have been destroyed. Will fall apart because of these three guys.

Seeing Ashina's aggressiveness and Zhan'erhu's posture of wanting to bury his head in his pants, Zhao Deyan couldn't help but sighed, so he added fuel and vinegar, telling the truth about what happened.

Zhao Deyan, Ashina Xiantu, and Zhan Erhu thought of some countermeasures on the way to escape in order to escape the crime.One is to increase Tang Jun's ability by ten times, the second is to weaken the will of the soldiers to freezing point, the third is to increase Qin Feng's despicable sneak attack by a hundred times, and the fourth point is more funny, they actually implanted the lightning god!Lightning and the sun are opposites, and they are incompatible existences. The Turkic people worship the sun to rise, so don't they feel sorry for the lightning?
Hearing that a mouthful of old blood almost spewed out, Jie Li was so angry that he couldn't stop cursing: "Waste, one and two are waste, a total of [-] soldiers and horses, just like this, one day, one day is not enough!" I let Qin Feng eat them all. The defense line I carefully arranged, the western line I rely on the most, didn't last even a day, no, half a day! How could my descendants of the wolf god have such incompetent descendants. The saddest thing is that they still kill each other, and let Qin Feng take a big advantage for nothing. The [-] army is gone, all gone." Jieli Khan patted the table and said furiously: "I originally thought that you would be fine. After losing the war, he had to eat a large piece of Qin Feng's meat, but now, he is not damaged at all. Do you know what this means? It means that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, there will be four more people under our city walls. Thousands of enemies."

After the Tuli rebellion, after lessons again and again.Xieli's mind has become much calmer, he knows how to buy people's hearts better than before, and he understands the definition of perseverance better than before.But at this point, the Turks have reached the point of life and death.Jieli couldn't help but lose his composure.I couldn't help but yelled curses to cover up my guilty conscience.As the Khan of the Turks, he knows the current situation of the Turks best.

After nearly a year of civil war, their forces were reduced by almost half due to killing each other.Because of the civil war, they didn't have enough time to hunt and store supplies, and many tribes didn't have a good winter.Frozen to death and starved to death, everywhere.It happened that in this great winter, he had the means of trapping him by the fierce tiger of Tang Dynasty in front, and he was also harassed by barbarian men behind him.

The situation of front and back attack all means one thing: the Turks are at stake.

The chrysanthemum was crippled, and the buttocks were full of wounds. Xieli's expression, which reflected the pain on his face, became more and more ferocious.

"King Khan, calm down, the matter has come to an end, anger is useless, and there is not much time left for us to discuss." Princess Yicheng spoke at the right time, hoping to ease Xieli's anger. These three guys are damned, but Now is not the time for internal strife, and now there is no need to rely on Zhao Deyan's brain to get out of the predicament!For now, the best solution is Zhao Deyan, who lost even his lupine.

Be patient.Xieli suppressed the turmoil and anger in his heart, thinking about the way to break the situation, thinking about how to lead the Turks to the predicament.

"Sir, the current situation has become so corrupt, what can you do?" Jieli Khan really couldn't think of a countermeasure, so he could only ask Zhao Deyan, who was his arm.

Zhao Deyan knew that Jieli had let them go, so he felt relieved.All of a sudden, he entered the role of a military adviser again. Thinking of the situation in front of him, his face was also grim. After a while, he said: "The current situation is extremely critical. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty came from three directions, intending to trap us to death. The Northland will be wiped out in one fell swoop. Now there are only three strategies to choose from."

Zhao Deyan was able to become Jieli's confidant, and as a Han Chinese, to become the number one counselor of the Turks, he still had some ability, and he sorted out a set of countermeasures in a short period of time.

"The first strategy is to take advantage of the fact that the Tang army has not yet formed an encirclement situation. Immediately transfer the tooth tent, move the Khan Court to the north, and directly jump out of the Tang army's three-sided encirclement. As long as you escape to the extreme north, the Tang army will search If there is no trace of our army, after a long time, they will inevitably retreat due to lack of food and grass, this is the best policy."

Jieli frowned when he heard this. Fleeing all the way to the north can indeed preserve a certain strength, but it is tantamount to giving up everything in Turkic and giving it all to the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty didn't care much about the grassland, nor his land, but those wolf cubs in Xue Yantuo, and Tuli, who betrayed his ancestors, were also rare. Once they fled north, everything on the grassland would be renamed. surname.Yi Nan has now received the support of the Tang Dynasty. When they are firmly established in the northern pastures, how can they come back from the counterattack just by relying on their defeated soldiers?

Thinking of Xue Yantuo's Khan Yinan, Jieli regretted it. If he had known that he would bring such harm, he should have listened to Xin Yicheng's words in the first place and killed him cleanly, so that he would not fall into today's situation.Of course, the most inappropriate thing is to support Li Yuan, Li Shimin and his son who pretended to be grandsons.It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world to buy, and war is not a stand-alone game. If you overthrow it, you can start over.

Trying to shake off the random thoughts in his mind, Jieli Khan said: "What are the other two strategies?"

Zhao Deyan said: "The intention of the Tang Dynasty is to encircle us and trap us like turtles in an urn, but if we can open a gap in Wengzhong, we can break his encirclement tactics. To put it bluntly, this strategy is very simple. Qiankun made a desperate move and defeated Li Jingjun under the city with the force of thunder in the shortest time. Then, we can be on the grassland like a fish in water, coming and going freely. We occupy the right time and place on the grassland, and it takes more time , we can afford it, but Datang cannot afford it.”

Xie Li's eyes lit up, he had already made a decision, but he still asked, "The last strategy?"

Zhao Deyan secretly glanced at Jieli, whose face was sinking like water, and emphasized cautiously: "The last strategy is the middle-low strategy, that is, immediately retreat to the west, and go west to the Turkic Khan Mohe Duo Hou Quli. The Khan asked for help, and borrowed [-] elite soldiers to fight the Tang Dynasty to the death."

The West Turks were originally the West Khan of the Turkic Khanate, and the Turkic Khanate was split into two parts by the Sui Dynasty, the West Turks and the East Turks.After a series of wars in the Western Turks, Tong Yehu Khan won the Khan throne. During his reign, he merged with the rest of Tiele in the north, crossed the Amu Darya River in the southwest, occupied the old place of Tocharo, and expanded the territory to Kubin (Kabish) northern boundary.Tongyehu Khan claims to have hundreds of thousands of string-controlling men, whose martial arts surpass those of previous Khans.In order to consolidate the hegemony of the Turks in Central Asia, Tong Yehu included the kings of the Western Regions into the military administrative system, awarded the official title of "Jielijiao", and sent another Tutun stationed to monitor and supervise the collection of taxes.In addition, the Khanate’s political center of gravity was moved westward, and Xinya was placed in Qianquan (near Tokmak) in Shiguo, directly controlling the strategically important Suiba River and Atami Road on the Silk Road.It's just that Tong Yehu was conceited and powerful, and he used harsh policies, so he was killed by his uncle in 627.His uncle took advantage of the opportunity to ascend to the throne of Khan, and he is now the Khan of Mohe Duhou Quli Tuppi.

It’s just that the khans of the Western Turks have always regarded themselves as the authentic Turks, and regarded the Eastern Turks as scum who betrayed their sect. They even thought about uniting with the Tang Dynasty to kill Xieli, but Xieli was too strong at that time. Cooperation failed.On the other hand, the East Turkic side regarded the other party as a scum, so even though they belonged to the same clan, the relationship could not be more rigid.

As soon as Zhao Deyan, who had prepared for Jieli to scold him furiously, said something, Jieli's face changed dramatically, showing a hint of sternness, and said: "Shut up, I'm hearing these words, and I won't take them lightly."

"Here!" Zhao Deyan kept his mouth shut.

Ashina Xiantu and Zhan Erhu also had angry expressions on their faces, and I can't blame them. They have always instilled a concept in their ancestors, that is, because of the betrayal of the Western Turks, the great Turkic Khanate collapsed. , No one has a good impression of the "culprit" of the Western Turks.

This defection to the Western Turks is tantamount to admitting that the Western Turks are the true rulers of the Turks.

This was an intolerable shame for Xieli, the Eastern Turkic Khan.

The relationship between East and West Turks is exactly the same as the two schools of Sword Qi of Huashan School.The current Eastern Turks have the same mentality as the Jianzong after the defeat. Even if they are all destroyed, they will not lower their noble heads.The only difference is that the enemies that lead to failure are different, one is from one's own family, and the other is because of foreign enemies.

"You guys just rest here. You can't go anywhere until the news of the defeat comes! Let me think about it before making a conclusion." Xie Li thought for a long time, but he couldn't come to a conclusion. He personally preferred the second strategy. Yes, but a young general who was not well-known before can turn Turkic upside down. How can Li Jing, whose reputation has spread all over the world, be so easy to deal with?
For a while, Xieli couldn't draw a conclusion.

Zhao Deyan was about to say more, but he received a wink from Princess Yicheng. In desperation, he had no choice but to swallow back the words abruptly.

For the current Jieli Khan, time is life and vitality.Zhao Deyan's original intention was to let Jieli Khan make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to be unable to leave when the time comes.

But the warning look in Princess Yicheng's eyes made him terrified, and he came to his senses, and broke out in a cold sweat. Now he is a defeated general, and he is no longer the "Little Zhuge" in Jieli Khan's mind. "Well, Xie Li has endured to the extreme, if he continues to babble, maybe he will be killed if he is annoyed.

After Jieli left, Yicheng sent Ashina Xiantu and Zhanerhu away with excuses, and when she and Zhao Deyan were the only ones left in the secret room, Princess Yicheng asked, "Mr. Is there any hope?" After speaking, a pair of phoenix eyes stared at him firmly.

Zhao Deyan smiled wryly and said: "To tell you the truth, Your Highness, King Khan has only [-]% chance of winning, but if the news of the failure of the West Route Army reaches Dingxiang, the hope will be even slimmer. This subordinate will leave Dingxiang immediately, The farther away, the better. As long as people are alive, there is still a chance to make a comeback. If people die, no matter how good the country is, they will not be blessed!"

Princess Yicheng asked again: "If there is no way to go, what do you think King Khan will choose?"

Zhao Deyan said without hesitation: "The Turkic people are different from us Han people. If it really comes to that point, the King Khan will have no choice! It must be the same as Tuli, and the whole country will be attached. This is the innate character of the Turkic people. .”

Princess Yicheng closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said, "I understand, don't let the third person know..."

Zhao Deyan said: "This subordinate understands!"
