Tuli Khan, who had been unhappy all night, heard the news not long after he woke up. He couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Really?"
"Really." Ashina Jisheshu curled his lips and said, "Li Huairen underestimated him too much. He took the Chinese army directly yesterday, is he going to fight to the death today?"
Tuli Khan's eyes flickered, and he went straight to Ashina Sheer without saying anything. The latter did not look depressed after yesterday's small setback. Instead, his expression became more determined, and his control over his subordinates was also enhanced.
.
No way, who made last year's Jieli Khan such a waste?
Compared with Ashina Sheer who personally held the flag of Khan and moved forward, Jieli Khan was such a clear negative example.
"It is true that we sent a small group of cavalry to attack at night last night." Ashina She'er sneered: "The main force of the Tang army arrived the day before yesterday, and the battle lasted all day yesterday, but no stronghold has been built yet."
The day before yesterday, Li Shan led tens of thousands of troops to the front line and immediately sent cavalry to attack. At dawn the next morning, he first started a war with the left and right armies. In the afternoon, he launched a surprise attack with nearly ten thousand cavalry and almost reached Ashina She'er.
In front of the two Khans, the Turks were once in a state of embarrassment and the killings were heavy.
If we talk about the day before yesterday and yesterday, Li Shan seemed impatient, and last night, Ashina Sheer sent a small group of cavalry to attack at night just to investigate this matter, because yesterday he unexpectedly discovered that the Tang Army did not build any
camp and started the war immediately.
It is true that no camp was built, which shows one thing. Li Shan is confident and hopes to defeat the Turks as soon as possible, and even hopes to regain the three states and expel Liang Shidu in a short time.
Tuli Khan was a little excited and whispered: "When are you going to take action?"
"No rush."
"But the left and right armies of the Tang army are approaching. If Li Huairen's entire army were to press forward..." Tuli Khan frowned slightly, "There were too many casualties yesterday."
Ashina Sheer did not say a word. The casualties were indeed too heavy. Neither he, the Khan, nor the tribal leaders below could continue to bear such huge losses. Within a radius of ten miles, nearly ten thousand people had died these days.
The soldiers' bones are buried here.
After hesitating for a while, Ashina She'er whispered: "Look at today... Tang Qi also suffered a lot of losses yesterday, and Li Huairen doesn't have many such heavy cavalry."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise outside. The two of them frowned and turned to look. Ashina Sheer's confidant general Kang Juwei was confronting Tuli Khan's younger brother Ashina Sheer.
With raised eyebrows and raised eyes, it was almost time to take action.
"Great Khan, the Tang Army has sent a letter." Kang Jue, a tall man with a dark complexion, squinted at the association rate.
The leader of the association angrily took out a letter from his arms, "This is sent by the envoy of the Tang Army... and it is specifically addressed to the Great Khan."
The Great Khan mentioned by Kanshu refers to Ashina Sheer, and the association rate naturally refers to Tuli Khan.
"We are not joining hands with Brother She'er, but you two are fighting over a small gap." Tuli Khan scolded a few words, took the letter, and was about to say something to smooth things over, but he only glanced at it and opened his mouth.
It closed tightly.
When the surrounding area became quiet, Ashina She'er deliberately took a few steps to the side and then said, "Li Huairen is the best at sowing discord. Ever since he left Daizhou, the clan has been in chaos, thanks to him.
"
Tuli Khan knew that the other party was reminding him not to fall into the trap... He knew that the two Khans were here, but he sent a letter to his former sworn brothers. The meaning was too clear.
Tuli Khan thought for a while, waved his hands to repel everyone, and said with a smile: "It seems that Li Huairen also knows that you and I are working together, and he is powerless."
Stop talking nonsense, last year you and Jieli Khan went south together, and more than 100,000 troops besieged a small Guji town. Li Huairen was also unable to do what he could. In the end, didn't he sow discord and finally achieve a great victory?
Ashina Sheer complained a few words in her heart, took the letter from the other party and looked at it for a few times... Well, first her face turned white and green, then her body trembled slightly, and finally she rolled up the letter and threw it on the ground angrily.
, and stepped on it hard.
"Such nonsense!"
"Li Huairen!"
"You will be cut into pieces with a thousand swords!"
Tuli Khan also had an angry look on his face, but he was thinking in his heart that in a sense, he really wasn't talking nonsense!
This letter was written by Li Shan and Wen Yanbo. The first paragraph roughly means this... Ashina She'er is a person who kills his uncle with his nephew, which is unfilial, and kills the monarch with his ministers, which is unfaithful.
It was unkind to send a tribesman to his death, and it was unjust for the Emperor of Tang to let him return to the grassland and then lead his troops to attack him half a year later.
You, Tuli Khan, are also well versed in Chinese studies. If you are such an unfilial, unfaithful, unkind and unjust person, why won’t God punish you?
In fact, it is quite normal on the grassland for a nephew to kill his uncle. It is common for fathers to kill their sons, sons to kill their fathers, brothers to kill each other, and ministers to rebel and kill the monarch. Let alone the grassland, isn't it common in the history of the Central Plains?
Driving the tribe to death... This is obviously referring to the battle in front of the hill yesterday, but if Ashina She'er doesn't move forward with the Khan's flag, will he flee like Jieli Khan?
That will only lead to the death of more clan members, and you, Li Huairen, will most likely imitate the Cangtou River battle and build a fortress in Beijing.
As for the Tang Emperor's release of Ashina She'er back to the grassland, wasn't it to allow the Turks to continue their civil strife?
What's unkind and unjust, what's unfaithful and unfilial... it's all nonsense.
But Tuli Khan looked at Ashina She'er who was breathing heavily, and thought that he knew that Li Shan was trying to sow discord... but he seemed to have fallen into the trap, because he felt that what he said was right.
Within the Ashina tribe, Ashina She'er and Tuli Khan are relatively special. It's not that these two people are leaders among the younger generation and have now become Khans, but that they are both proficient in
Sinology is an alien within the clan.
What's more important is that today's Turks are in a period of transition, from slavery to a semi-slave and semi-feudal system. The most typical example is that Jieli Khan actually made Wuyuan County his capital, trusted Han advisors, and tried to centralize power.
Ashina She'er and Tuli Khan were hostile to Jieli Khan one after another, but they both followed this path... It's okay to say that they are unkind and unjust, but they are unfaithful and unfilial. Wearing this hat on your head is Ah.
This is something Shina Sheer really doesn’t want to see.
Of course, it was just the first paragraph that did not make Ashina Sheer so furious... Well, actually speaking, Ashina Sheer was so angry, or made such an angry gesture, was to express his anger towards
Tuli Khan expressed his attitude, or in other words, he was testing Tuli Khan's attitude after reading this letter.
Because of the second paragraph in the letter, Li Shanxin vowed... Although you, Tuli Khan, once betrayed the alliance, I, Li Huairen, am honest. After all, we are sworn friends with Jinlan and have been friends for eight worshippers!
What's more, there is no enmity or enmity between you and me. Is there any life-or-death hatred?
It's just that Ashina She'er is a traitor and has great ambitions. My brother must be on guard!
My little brother only hates She'er, and I only hope to take his head in this battle. After the war, the two countries have stopped their troops, and your army is on the grassland fortress. My emperor lives in the pass, and the two sides do not attack each other, and they are happy and happy. Isn't it beautiful?
