"Hmph! Yi Nan, you are pretending to be confused with me!"
In the royal court, Jie Li couldn't stand Yi Nan's casual attitude. He snorted coldly and looked angry. Then he stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly:
"Everyone here knows who this rumor is most beneficial to! Now Tuli is surrounded by Ben Khan's 300,000 troops. Seeing that there is no hope of breaking out, he sent people to spread this rumor in an attempt to make Ben Khan on the grassland. Being separated from one's heart and virtue is truly a punishment to be punished!"
"The Great Khan is wise! Yi Nan also thinks that this rumor has something to do with Tuli!"
Seeing Jie Li getting angry, Yi Nan's expression became a little more serious. After all, he didn't want to really offend Jie Li. He put away his playful smile, hugged his fists towards Jie Li, and said.
Of course, Yi Nan was talking while sitting down, but this guy didn't even move his ass, let alone stand up.
"Hmph! This current situation has nothing to do with you and others!"
Jieli slapped the table in front of him, pointed at the tribal leaders sitting below, and said coldly:
"Ten days ago, the 300,000 elite troops that I drew from your tribes have surrounded Tuli Yating. The remaining troops of Tuli only have more than 100,000 troops. You, the 300,000-strong army, could not survive in ten days. To break through Tuli Yating, is it because your soldiers are too incompetent, or are you deliberately passive in the fight and delaying time for Tuli~?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the main hall, which had been relatively peaceful just now, suddenly became cold and solemn. If Jieli really puts the label of passive challenge on any of them, then they will not be able to bear it!
The ten tribal leaders sitting below all changed their expressions slightly. Qibi Heli said at this time: "Great Khan, please calm down. I would also like to ask the Great Khan for a clear warning. It is not because we and other tribal warriors are incompetent in fighting. Although Tuli's men There are only more than 100,000 remaining soldiers, but these soldiers and horses are all elite soldiers and strong generals.
At present, Tuli's troops are besieged by us. The people of the Central Plains have a saying, even if the cauldron sinks the boat and the trapped beasts still fight, in this desperate situation, Tuli's soldiers and horses are not afraid of death in battle. In the previous battles, we The Qibi tribe has lost more than a thousand warriors and suffered heavy losses. Therefore, Tuli cannot be attacked for a long time. We are definitely not passively accepting the fight. I hope the Great Khan will learn from it! "
Facing Jie Li's post-war accountability, Qibi Heli must stand up and speak out for his own tribe and for the warriors of other tribes who participated in the war. After all, who made him and Yi Nan the "big brothers" of the Tiele tribes? "Woolen cloth! As the big brother, at this time, you should stand up and share the firepower for the "little brothers".
"Brother He Li is right! Tuli's troops have been unable to attack for a long time. It's because they wanted to fight to the death in desperate situations, not because we passively responded!"
"I hope the Great Khan will learn from this!"
"My Xue Yantuo tribe has lost more than 3,000 warriors. When we fought against Tuli's tribe, not a single warrior in our tribe took a step back. Please give me a warning from the Great Khan!"
"I have lost more than 2,000 warriors from the Beyegu tribe and killed more than 3,000 people from the Tuli tribe. I did not passively respond to the battle. Please give me a clear warning from the Great Khan!"
"In the past few days, I have lost more than a thousand warriors from the Huihe tribe and killed more than 3,000 people from the Tuli tribe. I did not passively respond to the battle!"
"The Servants of the Bone Tribe have lost more than 2,000 warriors and killed 2,800 of the Tuli Tribe!"
"The Tongluo tribe has lost more than 3,000 warriors and killed 2,500 of the Tuli tribe!"
"Please give the Great Khan a clear warning!"
Qibi Heli's words immediately attracted the support of everyone, and these people rushed to complain to Jieli (to express their loyalty).
The main hall, which was relatively peaceful before, is now as lively as a vegetable market.
Jie Li frowned upon hearing this.
Because these people are showing their loyalty on the surface, but in fact they are complaining to him! You see, the soldiers and horses in my tribe have killed thousands of people because of the encirclement and suppression of Tuli, and they also killed thousands of people from the opposite side. You can't say that I passively responded to the battle, right? If you insist that I respond passively, then all other tribes will also respond passively. You are trying to push all the tribes to oppose you!
Jie Li cannot afford this consequence!
As the golden family on the grassland, the Ashina tribe is strong, but it is not stronger than the union of all tribes. Moreover, it is now a troubled time. He urgently needs the unification of the grassland and integrates all the forces on the grassland to deal with the Tang Dynasty. It is impossible for him to push all the tribes to oppose him!
"Great Khan, my subordinates think that since we have surrounded Tuli's troops, we can surround them without attacking. The opponent's food and grass are limited. After their food and grass are exhausted, we will launch an attack again. At that time, believe us You can defeat Tuli's troops without any effort, and in this way, the casualties of our tribes can also be reduced!"
Seeing that everyone had finished talking, Qibi Heli stood up, hugged his fists to Jieli, and gave some advice.
Hearing this, Jie Li's face suddenly darkened. To be able to say such words, this old guy Qibi Heli was either pretending to be stupid on purpose, or he was really bad. Who would have thought of this way of encircling but not attacking
But the key point is that now Tuli deliberately let people spread the rumor, and he was obviously relying on it secretly. If he continues to use the tactic of siege but not attack at this time, wouldn't he be helping Tuli buy time and give the outcome of this game already decided? The encirclement and suppression war creates additional variables
"That's right, that's right! Brother He Li is right! Since all the Tuli tribesmen are not afraid of death and are resisting desperately, then we don't need to go head-to-head with them and just besiege them without attacking! Wait for them to have food and fodder Once they are exhausted, won’t it be easy to take them down~?”
Jie Li was about to speak, but Yi Nan was one step ahead of him and jumped out to support Qibi Heli.
"Yes! We should be surrounded and not attacked right now!"
"That's right!"
With these two people singing in harmony in the hall, how could the leaders of the other tribes disapprove? After all, on the grassland, big fists are the last word. Everyone wants to preserve their strength. This strategy of siege but not attack is in the interests of all their tribes, and they have no reason not to support it.
After waiting for a while, when the hall became quiet again, Jieli said with a dark face: "Besieging but not attacking? Hmph! What a great siege but not attacking! It sounds nice, but in my opinion, you are just greedy. You are afraid of death! You are all citizens of Changsheng Heaven, but you are greedy for life and afraid of death. What qualifications do you have to call yourself the warriors of the grassland in the future?"
After a pause, Jieli slapped the table and said loudly: "I don't care what method you use, I order you to annihilate Tuli tribesmen and trample the Tuli royal court within two days. Each tribe will destroy the warriors. Afterwards, Ben Khan will compensate him with a large sum of money.
In addition, this time, I will ask She'er Tuoshe to lead 10,000 wolf cavalry to accompany my troops to join the battle. If you still fail to gain a sudden advantage within two days, I will check carefully which tribe it is. Responding passively! "
Jieli changed his previous polite attitude and directly suppressed the objections of these tribal leaders with force. And according to what he said, this time his Ashina Sher will lead 10,000 wolf riders to participate in the battle. This is to give The leaders of various ministries put pressure on him. After all, who knows the combat prowess of Jie Li's wolf cavalry? Who is not afraid
(Suppose, it is a Turkic official position. With the development of Eastern Turkic forces, the internal system has gradually improved, and the responsibilities and configuration of its officials have changed to varying degrees. Except for Khan, the official title has developed to twenty-eight levels. Among them, the common one is Ye Hu , She, Teqin, Qilifa, Tutunfa, Jielifa, Qulvchu, Yan Hongda, Qijin, Meilu, Gu, etc. "Yehu" refers to the head of the branch of the tribe; "She" also translates "Inspect" and "kill" are military officers. Ashinasheer's current official position is Tuoshi, which can be regarded as a very high-ranking official in the Turks.)
At this time, even if everyone disagrees in their hearts, they dare not disagree with their mouths! Unless you want to go against it!
Facts have proved that several people here do not have the courage yet!
Yi Nan and Qi Bi He Li looked at each other and secretly shook their heads at each other. Then, they both clasped their fists at Jie Li and said, "I obey your orders!"
Seeing that both of them agreed, how could the leaders of the other eight tribes dare to raise different opinions? Everyone stood up and clasped their fists and said, "I obey your orders!"
"Well! It's getting late, everyone, let's go back!"
Jie Li narrowed his eyes and waved.
"yes!"
Everyone responded and turned around to leave the hall.
… … … … … … … …
"Brother He Li, the Great Khan gave us a death order this time, and also ordered She'er Tuoshe to lead ten thousand wolf cavalry to supervise the battle. Next, we are afraid that we will have a fierce battle with Tuli's troops. !”
After leaving the royal court, ten tribal leaders responded to Qibi Heli's invitation and came to Qibi's tent. After sitting down, Yi Nan sighed softly and said.
In his opinion, Jieli sent Ashina Sheer to lead 10,000 wolf cavalry in the battle not to help them attack Tuli on the battlefield, but to supervise them on the battlefield!
That's right, when he was encircling and suppressing Tuli, his Uighur tribe, like other tribes, did not use all their strength. They were all "passive and sabotaging". After all, there was no deep grudge between him and Tuli, so there was really no need to follow him. Tuli, this dying man, fights for his life!
He couldn't bear it!
No one here is willing to risk the lives of their tribe’s warriors to fill Jieli’s ambitious hegemony!
"Yes! Chief Heli, are we really going to have a fight to the death with Tuli next?"
As soon as Yi Nan finished speaking, someone suddenly had a sad face and said something harsh to Qi Bi.
It has to be said that at this time, the Qibi tribe still had a high prestige among the Tiele tribes in the grassland.
Under the eager gaze of everyone, Qibi Heli said:
"The Great Khan is powerful now and has hundreds of thousands of elite wolf riders under his command. None of our tribes are rivals, so we can only obey orders. However, I don't believe that Tuli will have no countermeasures after he released the rumor. Now There are only three days left in August. I believe that within these three days, changes will definitely occur. When we and other ministries are encircling and suppressing sudden gains, we only need to use eight parts of our strength to show off on the surface. Don’t really push Tuli into a hurry!”
