Excited? It seems that there is a point, no matter what, it is very proud to be able to surrender without a fight, but at this moment, in Li Zhen's heart, in addition to a slight sense of excitement, it is more trouble-and now the balance within the Western Turks has been completely broken, and his own side has to take the lead because of this, which can be regarded as putting himself on the bright side, and it is impossible to hide it again, even if it can be concealed for a while, it is useless, without him, the army of Yibi Lu has arrived nearby, Since Li Zhen wants to accept the surrender of Ashina Therro's department, he has to take action to defeat Yibi Lu, so that he can't hide the two brothers with evil intentions in the Xue Yantuo Khanate at all, whoever is targeted by such two poisonous snakes hidden in the shadows, they are just as unbearable, Li Zhenzi is no exception, but he can't take care of so much at this time, and he has to deal with the surrender ceremony in front of him before he can think about the next move, right?

Well? What's going on? Why didn't Suo Lao'er see anyone, could it be that this old boy wanted to hide and make a ghost? Li Zhengang rode his horse to the front, only glanced at the people behind Ashina Sero, and immediately found that Sogersos was not among them, and his brows couldn't help frowning, but he didn't rush to ask, but sat on the horse's back, waiting for Ashina Sero to come forward.

Ashina Sero slowly walked to Li Zhenma, first bowed, then knelt down on one knee, raised the package in his hand high above his head, lowered his head, and said in a loud voice: "Some, the Western Turkic Khanate Ges Khan Ashnashiro hereby surrenders to the Tang Dynasty, and hereby presents a seal letter to show sincerity, please ask His Royal Highness the King of Yue to inspect it." ”

Ashina Thero knelt down like this, and the leaders of the various clans who followed behind all knelt down, but Li Zhen did not get off the horse, but sat firmly on the horse, and after waiting for a while, he waved his hand, and the eagle who followed Li Zhen turned over and dismounted with intention, strode forward, took the package in Ashina Thero's hand, opened it, and after confirming that there was no threat, he held it with both hands and handed it to Li Zhen.

The package is not big, there is only a gold seal inside, a few gold troop transfer tokens, but the weight is not light, there is a sense of heaviness in the hand, Li Zhen only glanced at it, then stuffed it to Yingda, turned over and dismounted, rushed forward, smiled and stretched out his hand to help Ashina Thero up, and gently comforted: "The ancients: The person who knows the times is Junjie, Brother Thuro can know the general, this king deeply admires, in the future, you and I will be ministers of the same dynasty, since we should take more care of each other, although this king came in a hurry today, But there is still good wine in the camp, so I ask Brother Thurro and all the leaders to stay first, and when the king has set up the barracks, they will drink together to celebrate. ”

The wine of the Tang Dynasty is of course a good wine, but this banquet is afraid that there is no good banquet, don't look at Li Zhen's words very politely, but the coercion inside is very strong, it is clear that all the Western Turkic nobles are taken hostage, Ashina Sero is not a fool, how can he not see Li Zhen's plan, but it is a pity that this person is a knife warrior, he is fish and meat, and there is no room for Ashina Thero's choice, I am worried that Li Zhen will take the opportunity to make a black hand, but I don't dare to refuse, I can only stubbornly say: "Thank you His Royal Highness King Yue for his good intentions, But if His Royal Highness has an order, he will not dare to disobey. ”

Uh-huh, is there still something hidden in this old boy's words, hey, it's a little interesting! As soon as Li Zhen heard Ashina Thero's words, she immediately saw through the meaning hidden in the words - the left and right are just showing loyalty, but the object is not the Tang Dynasty, but Li Zhen herself, such topics that can only be understood and unspeakable are taboo, even if Li Zhen understands it, he will not say anything, let alone say anything else, just smiled, changed the topic and said: "Brother Thuro, why don't you see Suo Lao?" Could it be that Suo Lao wants to fight with this king? ”

As soon as Li Zhen mentioned Sogsos, the flattering smile on Ashina Serro's face immediately disappeared, and he was silent for a moment, and then said with a deep sadness: "Your Highness, Uncle Suo has already gone." ”

He's dead? No way? Such a coincidence? Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and did not ask questions, but frowned, and looked at Ashina Sullo suspiciously-although Sogeros did not hold any position in Ashina Sero's so-called royal court, but he was an out-and-out spiritual pillar in Ashina Serro's line, don't look at the surrender ceremony at this time It seems that the surrender ceremony is over, and a group of clan leaders have also fallen under the control of the Tang Army, but if Sogersos is still hiding in the shadows, it is not impossible to play some tricks, for this old ability, Li Zhen is very wary, I don't believe that he died so coincidentally at this juncture.

For Li Zhen's doubts, Ashina Sero did not explain much, but smiled bitterly and confessed, turned around, and gestured in the direction of the old camp.

Li Zhen's "True Yang Technique" has already been completed, both hearing and perception ability are far from being comparable to others, just concentrating, you already know that the person covered by the white cloth has already lost his breath, and there is no possibility of rioting and hurting people, however, out of caution, Li Zhen did not verify it with his own hands, but waved his hand, and two of his own guards stepped forward and slowly pulled away the covered white cloth, revealing the old body of Sogersos.

Really dead, alas, it's a pity! Li Zhen saw that Sogersos was dead, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, without him, Li Zhen was quite important to Sogsos's talent and even wisdom, originally after this time he incorporated Ashina Thero's department, there was still the idea of borrowing this old man, but since everyone was dead, this abacus naturally couldn't go on, but the superficial work that should be done still had to be done, after all, as long as it was conducive to subduing the hearts of the people of the five major tribes, Li Zhen did not hesitate to express his condolences for the death of Sogsos.

"Suo Lao is the friend of this king, he is sincere and friendly, knowledgeable is worthy of the name of the wise man, this time and has the first righteousness, should enjoy the glory and wealth, but unexpectedly passed away suddenly, the real day is jealous of the virtuous material, the king is sad, the king will order: bury Suo Lao, and go to the court, for Suo Lao to ask for merit, so that he can enjoy the honor of the court, and the title he deserves is attacked by his son, in addition, the army since the beginning of the king, are for the death of Suo Lao hanging white sleeves for three days to show mourning, and then perform the ritual after the war!" Li Zhen raised his head, looked around at the Western Turkic magnates, and then made a loud announcement, and the voice spread far away, even the Western Turk people hiding in the old camp could hear it clearly.

Knowing that Li Zhen's pretentiousness was just to win over the hearts of the people, Ashina Serro immediately pretended to be grateful, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Highness/Compassion, a certain generation of Uncle Suo has thanked His Highness for his grace!" ”

Seeing that Ashina Sero cooperated well, Li Zhen was very satisfied, but he didn't bring it to his face, but reached out to help Ashina Sero with a heavy face, and said gently: "Brother Shina Sero, please also mourn and change, today's banquet will be postponed for the time being, well, the old camp of this king is crowded, this king really can't bear to let his soldiers squeeze into it, if it disturbs the people, it is not good, so let's do it, this king will camp outside the old camp, and tonight I will wronged all the leaders to rest in this king's camp, and how about discussing the action tomorrow?" ”

It was impossible for the left and right to leave the control of the Tang Army, Ashina Sero simply bowed to the end, bowed and said: "Obey the order, I will order my subordinates to hand over their weapons, and ask His Highness to send someone to supervise." ”

Hey, this old boy is really interesting, but it saves Lao Tzu a lot of nonsense. Li Zhen was very satisfied with Ashina Thero's "sensibility", and he was not pretending to be polite, nodded with a smile, looked back and ordered You Sifan to lead the troops to supervise Ashina Thero's troops to hand over their weapons, and then ordered the armies to retreat and camp in a mile.

"The last general will see His Highness." As soon as Ashina Therro was led by the Eagle Da and walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, he saw Li Zhen sitting on the top seat, and hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully saluted Li Zhen.

As soon as he heard Ashina Therro call himself the last general instead of the original "so-and-so", a trace of fierceness flashed in Li Zhen's eyes, and after being silent for a while, he raised his hand weakly and said lightly: "Excuse me." ”

"Your Highness." Ashina Therro responded very respectfully, stood with his hands down, and did not say a word to ask Li Zhen what his intention was in inviting him late at night.

"What? Isn't Brother Thuro afraid of this king's black hand, huh? Li Zhen looked at Ashina Therro with interest, and then asked slowly, the gloomy meaning in that sentence was very strong.

Ashina Sero bowed down and replied with a calm face: "The last general thinks that His Highness will never do this. ”

"Oh? Is it true that Brother Thurrow has so much faith in this king? Li Zhen didn't let Ashina Thro go, but hurriedly asked.

"With the power of His Royal Highness, if you really want to kill the last general, when can't you do it? And why should it be at this time? Ashina Sero replied unhurriedly, although he didn't say it explicitly, but faintly pointed out the root of the problem - if Li Zhen wants to win the morale of the people, he can't ignore the mood of the people, and it is absolutely impossible to get rid of the heads of the tribes before the people's hearts are stable, even if it is really necessary to do so, at least until the situation calms down.

"Oh, hahaha......" Li Zhen laughed loudly, and after laughing for a while, he suddenly turned pale, his eyes were sharp like knives and swept towards Ashina Thero, and said calmly: "You are a smart person, this king likes to deal with smart people, I hope Brother Thuro is smart enough not to be mistaken by cleverness." ”

Feeling the huge momentum that suddenly rose on Li Zhen's body, Rao is Ashina Sero has been in the top position for a long time, and he is a battlefield general, but he can't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to look up at Li Zhen's eyes, but just lowered his head and said: "Your Highness has taught you a lesson, and the last general should keep it in mind, and don't dare to forget it." ”

"That's good." Li Zhen sighed without being salty, didn't say anything more about this matter, got up and walked down the big seat, walked straight to the corner of the tent, and sat down on the horse in front of a newly made sand table, and then pointed to a horse on the opposite side of the sand table and said, "Brother Thurro, please take a seat." ”

Ashina Sero strode closer, bowed down and said, "The last general doesn't dare, Your Highness sits on your own, the last general can stand." ”

"This king has always been not good at being polite, and after getting along for a long time, Brother Thuro will be able to know, sit down, look at this thing, Brother Thurro, may recognize it?" Li Zhen waved his hand and motioned for Ashina Thelo to sit down.

Ashina Thero hesitated, but sat down honestly, glanced at the sand table, and was taken aback - although he had never seen such a thing as a sand table, after all, he was a master of the battle formation of Rong Ma's life, and he knew the terrain of the Western Regions well, just one glance, he knew that this sand table was the terrain north of the Tianshan Mountains, and immediately understood that the role of this thing in military affairs was not trivial, and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, who is the hand of this thing?" If you have this thing in hand, it will be very convenient to march and fight, and it is not easy to be honest. ”

This thing is naturally one of Li Zhen's "great plagiarism", although it has been popularized in the army, it has always been kept secret from the outside world, and there are few people who know about it, Ashina Sero can see its usefulness as soon as he sees this thing, which is really commendable, for this point, Li Zhen is also quite appreciative, but Li Zhen did not explain Ashina Sero's question, but said calmly: "This is a sand table, indicating the terrain north of the Tianshan Mountains, well, this is the Chu River, Er and Yibi Lu Na fought fiercely here, what happened in the meantime?" Although this king has heard Suo Lao relay, but Suo Lao has not experienced it himself, and there are many omissions in what he said, so how about elaborating for this king? ”

After listening to Li Zhen's words, Ashina Thero had already woken up from the excitement of seeing the sand table for the first time, looked at the terrain and terrain on the sand table carefully, nodded, pointed at the sand table, and explained: "The last general led his troops to fight across the river from the Chu River and Yibi Lu, and then because the enemy army was strong, and the last general was not good at the burden, he had to retreat to Liudaogou, which is the undulating place of this mountain, and the last general set up two battalions of each other as horns to guard the two peaks, and the Yi Bi Lu attacked for several days, but was taken advantage of the situation by the last general to assault and drive it back to the Chu River. However, at the moment when the last general pursued Yibi Lu, Xue Yantuo's black wolf army suddenly appeared behind the last general, burning the camp behind the last general, resulting in the collapse of the army's heart, the defeat has been completed, the last general had to abandon the camp and leave, relying on the Shawan River and the Qingshui River to resist one by one, and finally retreated to the Baiye River to stabilize the position, the whole army lost more than half, and now there are only more than 50,000 remnants left, and the baggage will be exhausted. ”

Coming to help? Hey, this kid can really pull it. Li Zhen scoffed at what Ashina Therro said about "the Tang army came to help", but he didn't say anything more about this matter, just frowned, and asked seemingly casually: "Where did this black wolf army come from, and where is it now?" ”

Ashina Sero smiled bitterly and said: "Back to His Highness, the last general Zeng Sheng captured several black wolf soldiers, and indeed tortured them in detail, and learned some news, but the captured people are all small pawns, and their words may not be credible. ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it, the king will judge whether it is true or false." ”

"Yes." Ashina Therro bowed down and said: "According to the results of the interrogation, this black wolf army is indeed sent by Dadu, it is from the Ulastai Pass to sneak into the country, and along the Ulagu River through the desert, it is said that it was the beginning of January to move, at that time it was the time of heavy snowfall, the water of the Ulagu River was almost exhausted, and there was no tribe living by the river, so no one found the whereabouts of the black wolf army, however, although the black wolf army was able to quietly pass through the desert, but also paid a lot of price, and the five thousand men and horses could finally reach the Chu River only in the early three thousand, its leading general is a young man named Fu Kui, its origin is extremely mysterious, no one in the black wolf army knows, since the battle of the Chu River, this black wolf army disappeared again, the last general has sent a lot of scouts to investigate, but has never found anything. ”

Missing? Damn, what kind of fame did this kid make, he actually sent five thousand black wolf troops to cross the Ulastai Pass at the risk of the whole army, no wonder all the surveillance personnel have never found out, hey, he is really willing to spend blood, and his intention will never be just to sneak attack Ashina Thero's department, ten ** is aimed at Lao Tzu and Bazhuo, but how useful can such a little manpower be? You can play the sneak attack once, but do you want to play it a second time? Damn, what is the real intention of magnanimity in setting up this move? Listening to Ashina Sero's explanation, the question that had been haunting Li Zhen's mind for several days immediately popped up again, which really gave Li Zhen a headache, and he thought about it silently for a while, but he couldn't figure out the trick, and in desperation, he had to shake his head, put this question behind him for the time being, and carefully looked at the location of the battlefield where Ashina Serro was now confronting the Evi Lu Division, thinking about how to deal with such a complicated situation.

"Your Highness, there is a plan to break through the Yibi Lu Division, if you can completely annihilate this fang before the Dadu set up and pull out the Zhuo army, you can simplify the situation, and you don't have to worry about losing one or the other." Seeing that Li Zhen was silent for a long time and did not speak, Ashina Thero had to say as if he had recommended himself.

"Oh? Then let's hear it with the king. "Li Zhen has considered the first to completely annihilate the Yibi Lu Division, but the strength at hand is really limited, and there is no good ambush place around the battlefield, at most it can only be defeated, but it is difficult to achieve total annihilation. If you take advantage of the situation to march in a big way, Li Zhenshu is not sure to face the joint attack of the two sides alone, if you are generous and then participate in a leg, the whole situation is bound to be rotten, and if it is not good, it is the end of Huarong Road, and this is the weight that Anxi can not bear when it has just improved, Li Zhen is difficult to make such a determination to break the net, hurriedly asked.

"Your Highness, and now a certain department is in the light, His Royal Highness is in the dark, if you have not been informed by Uncle Suo, you don't know that Your Highness's army has arrived, not to mention the old thief of Yibi Lu, if it is a pursuit with a feint of defeat, one of them will be hooked, if a certain leads the troops to retreat into the old camp, it is bound to attack the whole army, His Highness takes advantage of the situation to cut off its back road, and it can break this fang!"

Well, that's a bit feasible, but can Thureau be reliable? Moreover, if the Yibi Lu Department besieges the old camp, if you want not to expose the flaws, these more than 100,000 people will not be able to move away, and the war will be together, the damage will be great, and it will be unfavorable to clean up the people's hearts in the next step, in case the Yibi Lu does not take the bait, not to mention in vain, it will also leak the news that our army has attacked, so the situation will be complicated, and whether this kid Thureau can be relied on has to be said, not afraid of 10,000 just in case! Li Zhen's brain moved quickly, and he thought about all kinds of possibilities, but he couldn't really make up his mind, and looked at Ashina Thero, whose face was full of sincerity and expectation, and said calmly: "The king already knows the plan, it's too late today, and the decision will be made tomorrow, it's not early, so let's go and rest first." ”

Seeing that Li Zhen didn't say anything, a trace of disappointment quickly flashed in Ashina Sero's eyes, but he didn't say anything, got up, saluted Li Zhen, and said respectfully: "The last general will retire." As soon as the words fell, he exited the big tent and was escorted by several sergeants to the barracks without mentioning anything.

Li Zhen didn't look up at the back of Ashina Thero's departure, her eyes were fixed on the sand table, and she fell into deep thought......
