Shibi Khan had been talking sincerely for a long time, and even proposed a condition on behalf of the entire Turks to help Wang Junlin dominate the Central Plains, as long as Wang Junlin was willing to let them leave, but the other party didn't seem to understand at all, and instead offered
A condition that Shibi Khan simply could not accept.
With the strength of Wang Junlin's subordinates, and with the support of their Turkic people, the chances of dominating the Central Plains and finally establishing a country and ascending the throne as emperor will naturally increase a lot.
Everyone knows that the Sui Dynasty has reached its peak in just a few days, and heroes with a little foresight know that this court is just hanging on.
Countless heroes were eager to replace them. There was an endless stream of envoys who went to the Turks to ask for support. Even Li Yuan secretly reached an agreement with the Turks. The other envoys were servile and servile. In order to form a strategic alliance, no matter whether it was the beginning or the end of the Khan,
No matter what harsh conditions are proposed, they will be agreed to without hesitation.
After seeing the agreement reached between Li Yuan and him a few days ago, Shibi Khan once ridiculed "the nobles of the Central Plains who always put their own interests higher than the interests of their court."
It was only after he witnessed countless weaklings from the Central Plains who could only beg for mercy that he came to this conclusion, which also strengthened their determination to go south. But just now Wang Junlin refused his conditions without hesitation, which made him suddenly
Understand that Wang Junlin is indeed an outlier, and perhaps it is this outlier that can bring him failure.

Not long after, fighting started again in Nanmen City.
According to Wang Junlin's order, those responsible for fighting at the south gate were the other Sui reinforcements except the reinforcements led by Wang Rengong and Li Shimin.
Li Shimin and Wang Rengong had already laid an ambush near the north gate.
As for the Tornado Battalion led by Luo Shixin, they had already left the territory of Yanmen County and were waiting somewhere on the grassland in the north of Yanmen County for the appearance of the remnants of the Turkic soldiers.
…………

After Shibi Khan came back, he began to arrange the retreat plan that he had made before. However, even if the plan was made for some things, it was very troublesome to implement it.
Shibi Khan looked at the quarreling tribal leaders in front of him and couldn't help but feel
He felt desolate. This time, most of the Turkic warriors went south. Not to mention most of the casualties, they caught almost nothing. He knew that even if he could go back this time, his position as Khan would be shaky, and for the entire Turkic country,
, the next southern expedition will be at least ten years later.
"But will Changshengtian give me another ten years?" Shibi Khan asked himself sadly deep in his heart. Rather than talking about Changshengtian, it is better to talk about the leaders of various tribes, Melu, She, and Tutun in front of him.
, as long as these people are not careful, they will play all kinds of strange tricks, either attacking each other, or plundering other people's cattle and sheep, as if they can't survive without taking advantage of each other. He is an ambitious khan, he
He really wanted to establish a real Turkic empire on the grassland, a feudal empire with the same high concentration of power as the Central Plains court in the south. However, after his defeat this time, his prestige fell to the bottom. This ambition and wish will never be realized.
In fact, even before he has overcome the difficulties, Shibi Khan has already sensed the threat from these brothers and tribesmen in front of him.
"Khan, if we just run away in despair, how can our Ashina family lead the various tribes?" The person who said this was Ashina Dubishi, another younger brother of Shibi Khan. He seemed to lack scheming, but
In fact, this sentence is very scheming. It is implying the incompetence of Shibi Khan, and at the same time enhances his own sense of existence in an attempt to win the loyalty of some tribes.
Before he could safely escape back to the grassland, Ashina Dubishi began to covet his position as Khan. Naturally, Khan was unhappy, but he did not feel that it was very dangerous. There is an old saying on the grassland,
It is not wisdom that can make people see wisdom.
Ashina Dubishi seems to be very scheming, but the thoughts in his heart are always in front of Shibi Khan. As long as he knows what this younger brother wants, Shibi Khan is sure to control him.
What really worries him is Ashina Dubi who has been sitting in the corner of the tent and silent since he returned from the failed negotiation with Wang Junlin.
Although this younger brother, whom he had always regarded as his right-hand man and had always been loyal to him, had always behaved normally and even respected him, he felt inexplicably threatened by him at this time.
This is like a wolf pack. After the wolf king suddenly becomes weak, the wolf king suddenly becomes weak.
The wolf that has always been obedient and second only to him will naturally act to replace the wolf king.
In fact, this kind of thing has been happening since the Ashina family took control of the Turkic tribes and became the Great Khan more than a hundred years ago.
In particular, their flesh-and-blood relationship is extremely dangerous. Examples such as a clever cousin taking over the nephew's position, or a clever younger brother accidentally annexing his elder brother's tribe, appear among the Turkic tribes almost every few years.
If it happens once, it's like a curse that keeps repeating itself.
"I am willing to marry everyone!" Ashina suddenly stood up and said loudly.
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to him. No one expected that in this life-and-death situation, Ashina Dubi would behave so bravely. Suddenly, many tribal leaders and generals secretly linked Ashina Dubi and Shi.
Compared with Bi Khan, he feels that Ashina's heir is more worthy of the Ashina family's bloodline and more worthy of everyone's trust.
"As long as I, Ashina Dubisi, am still breathing, I will block the Sui army at the south gate and let everyone evacuate from the north gate." Ashina Dubisi shouted loudly and suddenly pulled out his hand.
He pricked his finger with the knife, tapped it between his eyebrows, and said loudly: "As witnessed by the Immortal Heaven, if you violate this oath, both humans and gods will be abandoned!"
Almost all the tribal leaders present could tell that Ashina Dubi Si was trying to win people's hearts, but at this moment, no one could despise him, because he wanted to cut off his wife, and the oath he swore to Chang Yitian was true.
Everyone knows that those who stay behind have a narrow chance of death, and the possibility of returning alive is almost zero.
But only a few people know that even if Ashina's heir does not take the initiative to ask for help, Shibi Khan will keep him as his heir.
And Ashina Dubi Si knew his eldest brother very well. He knew that his eldest brother, Khan, was currently unstable and his return would definitely be the biggest threat to him. No matter how big a threat he would be to his eldest brother in the future, he knew that right now he
But he has no power to threaten his elder brother, because the Golden Wolf Guard will only obey the Khan's orders.
As for Ashina Dubisi, even if he doesn't take the initiative to stand up, he will still be forced to step down in the end. Instead of doing this, he might as well take the initiative to stand up. In this way, as long as he is lucky enough to survive and return to the grassland, he will take over as the eldest brother.
The chance of becoming a new Khan is greatly increased.
