After Zhi lost his mind and was dragged down, he was the one who was beheaded. The news spread from Chang'an, and at the end of October, it reached the grassland already covered with ice and snow, and reached Jieli's camp.
Jie Li was very depressed when he learned that Zhi lost his mind and was killed.
Adherence to loss of thinking is his adviser.
He is also his general.
You Zhi lost Si Li and the most courageous son of the Turks, sneaked into the Tang Dynasty to work, but ultimately failed. The failure of Zhi Hu Si Li not only meant that the assassination of Wang Can failed, but also meant that the Turks' sons attacked the Tang Dynasty.
You may be bombarded at any time.
This is the most troublesome thing.
Jie Li had a gloomy look on his face, looking around at the people under his command, and said: "Zhi lost his mind and failed to assassinate Wang Can. Now, what should we do? We Turks have been at war with the Tang Dynasty for many years, and we have never suffered such a big loss. This time
In the battle with Hou Junji, the weapons of the Tang Dynasty were frighteningly brutal. We must have a way to crack it, otherwise it will be difficult to fight in the future."
"Khan, we Turks now really need to consider ways to counteract the Tang Dynasty. But I think the most urgent thing is to consider the winter!"
Someone in the crowd spoke.
This man's name is Lou Naluo, and he is a brave general under Jieli.
This is a person who belongs to the Jieli lineage.
Jieli said in a deep voice: "There are still enough sheep in our tribe, and there is still enough food in stock. Now that it is the cold winter, if the times are hard, we will kill the food and sheep to let everyone survive this cold winter. After all, now
It is impossible to attack south, so we can only spend all our savings to ensure we can survive the current predicament."
Anyway, Jieli has been in the Turks for so many years and is in charge of the Turks. It is impossible that he really has no food because of the cold winter this year, so he is not afraid this year.
The most important thing is that Mayi suffered countless losses in the first battle.
Countless people died in Mayi.
Although there are countless Turks today, in fact, in the Mayi War, countless Turks soldiers were killed, resulting in a sharp decline in the population of the Turks, and the losses were huge.
Therefore, there is no shortage of food for the time being.
Lou Naluo said in a deep voice: "Since there is an order from the Khan, it will be easy to handle. At least this year's cold winter, there should be no problem. But the next cold winter will be helpless. Now the loss is nearly one hundred thousand
Everyone, we want to go south to harvest grass next year, but it is impossible. By then, it will definitely not be enough for us to rely on ourselves."
After a pause, Lou Naluo continued: "In previous years, even if it was impossible to go south to seize food and women, the tribe was powerful and could order other tribes to submit to the royal court. After all, the Khan is the co-owner of the Turks."
"But now, our strength has been weakened to the extreme, and even Shibo is targeting us. The rest of the tribes are also working in tandem. Under the current circumstances, it is impossible for us to get food from other tribes."
"So, the situation is very difficult."
Lou Naluo said: "Under the current circumstances, we have to be prepared to live a hard life."
Jieli Khan said: "Luna Luo is right. This is indeed a problem. Our Turkic tribe must be prepared, otherwise next year will definitely be difficult. But before that, we have to find a way. If
If we can reverse the situation, we won't have to live a hard life next year."
Kang Sumi said: "Khan, I do have an idea."
Kangsumi was the counselor of Jieli Khan. However, he was different from Zhiwansili. He was a simple counselor.
There is no other identity.
Not the leader of a tribe, nor a brave general on the battlefield.
"any solution?"
Jieli Khan asked.
Kang Sumi said: "No matter how we restore our strength, no matter how we recruit more people, we are still insufficient to fight against the Tang Dynasty. Because the weapons of the Tang Dynasty are no longer comparable to ordinary people. If there is no corresponding
It is impossible to resist the weapons."
Jie Li said: "Yes, what you said makes sense."
Now, when he thinks about the battle outside Mayi City, he still has lingering fears.
terrible.
Rumbling sounds continued, and people were killed one after another.
There were countless casualties.
The man was thrown off his back and killed instantly.
The soldiers who died were okay, and they were all gone, but the seriously injured soldiers who survived were in the most pain, and many of them died of pain. After all, there were no therapeutic drugs in Turks.
Jie Li said: "Kang Sumi, what do you think we should do?"
Kang Sumi said: "In the current situation, the weapons that can deal with the Tang Dynasty are the weapons of the Tang Dynasty. Without these weapons, it is impossible to win. So we must get the weapons of the Tang Dynasty. However, we must obtain the weapons of the Tang Dynasty.
Starting from Wang Can, it is obviously impossible, after all, the difficulty of dealing with Wang Can has been proved by the loss of thinking."
Jie Li said: "You just finish your sentence, don't hesitate, say half and leave half to entertain people's appetite."
The look on Kang Sumi's face was even more solemn, and he said: "The only way is to arrange for people to sneak into Chang'an and then bribe the craftsmen who control the production of weapons. After all, the weapons of the Tang Dynasty also need people to make them. These craftsmen are our opportunity
.”
Jie Li said: "This is the only way we can do it."
He recognized Kang Sumi's chances.
Because this is the only way to break the situation, otherwise even if there are countless Turkic cavalry, they will always be bombarded by weapons and artillery from the Tang Dynasty after entering the battlefield. When the time comes, they will be crushed and slaughtered.
Jie Li looked at the rest of the people and said, "What do you think?"
Everyone agreed.
No way, this is the only way now.
There is no other way.
Jie Li nodded and said, "It's just that the person who goes on a mission must have enough adaptability."
Kang Sumi said: "Khan, I am willing to go."
A smile appeared on Jie Li's face and he said: "This is the best. With you going, I will feel relieved."
After a pause, Jieli Khan said: "You will definitely need a lot of money to go there this time, otherwise it will be difficult to move in Chang'an. I will give you enough money for this operation. I will give you my precious money to let you go.
Open up the relationship. Ben Khan has only one requirement, that is, it must succeed. We Turks must win. Otherwise, once we fail, it will be difficult for the Turks to rise."
Kang Sumi said solemnly: "Khan, please rest assured and promise to complete the task. I will go to the Tang Dynasty. I will be benevolent if I don't succeed."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Jieli Khan's face was filled with a bright smile.
This is what he expected.
Kang Sumi had such a preparation. As for Jieli Kaishuo, he believed that there was still hope for the Turks.
Kang Sumi continued: "Khan, there is another matter regarding the confrontation with the Tang Dynasty. Now, in addition to the damage to the direct line led by Khan, in fact, the tribe led by Shibo, as well as the other Turkic tribes, are still strong.
Cun. Although they got the news of our defeat, they never really understood what this battle was about and how powerful the weapons of the Tang Dynasty were. So I think it is better to use the weapons of each tribe.
Gather the people together and explain clearly the weapons of the Tang Dynasty."
Jie Li said: "I will arrange this."
"That's good."
A bright smile appeared on Kang Sumi's face. As long as the people of each tribe fully realize the power of the weapons of the Tang Dynasty, then the Turks can gather strength.
Only in this way can there be a chance of salvation.
Otherwise, the Turks will be hopeless.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier came in and came to Jie Li and said: "Khan, this is a letter sent by the princess. Please take a look at it."
The princess is Princess Yicheng.
Speaking of Princess Yicheng, she was considered an extremely miserable woman in history.
He was born in a clan of the Sui Dynasty. Because he married into the Turks, he served Qimin Khan, the father of Jieli Khan. However, after the death of Qimin Khan, Princess Yicheng married Jieli Khan's brother.
Bi Khan. When Shibi Khan died, Princess Yicheng married Jieli Khan's brother Chuluo Khan. After Chuluo Khan died, Princess Yicheng married Jieli Khan.
For a woman who was born in the Central Plains, she must adhere to ethical principles. However, Princess Yicheng married into the Turks and served four people, her father and her son, which can be described as tragic.
She was fifteen or sixteen years old when she got married, and now more than twenty years have passed. However, despite the passage of time, Princess Yicheng, who is in her late forties, is still quite charming and does not look old.
In Turks, princess is the name for Princess Yicheng.
This is the only one.
When Xie Li heard that it was a letter from Princess Yicheng, he took it directly. A smile appeared on his face and he said: "Okay, okay, okay, I didn't expect that the princess would have chess pieces in Chang'an. I have someone."
Now, it will be much more logical to go south to Chang'an this time."
Jie Li spoke, handed the letter to Kang Sumi, and said: "Kang Sumi, according to the address in the letter, go to Chang'an to find this man named Xiao Yujin. He is the person who was placed in Chang'an during the Sui Dynasty."
"knew."
Kang Sumi also had a smile on his face and said: "Kang, don't worry. With Xiao Yujin as an internal agent, it will be very convenient for me to do things after I arrive in Chang'an. When the time comes, I will have people to win over and plan actions.
Use cover. If we were only 30 to 40 percent sure of our previous actions, now we are at least 50 percent sure."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
After hearing this, Jie Li also had a smile on his face.
In his heart, he was even more grateful to Princess Yicheng.
Of course, Jie Li also knew that by doing this, Princess Yicheng actually wanted to fight against the Tang Dynasty. She did not want his strength to be damaged too much, so he took action and created this hidden stake in Chang'an.
But no matter what, this is beneficial to the present.
that's enough.
Jieli Khan also gave many instructions to Kang Sumi, asking Kang Sumi to act cautiously in Chang'an. After everything was arranged, Jieli waved everyone to leave. He left the camp and went to Princess Yicheng's camp.
