At three o'clock, although the sun was already setting in the west, the sun was still very hot, the wind had stopped, and the weather was so hot that it was breathless, but for the Western Turks who stuck to the wall, all this didn't matter - in the face of the danger of extinction, such a little stuffiness was really not a big deal, if the sun could keep the tribe alive, then even if the sun cracked the skin of the whole body, it was worth it, but unfortunately the decision was not in their hands, Although all the Western Turks who could hold weapons had gathered behind the wall and the camp gate, everyone knew that this was just a gesture, a posture of dying and struggling, and in front of the extremely fierce Anxi Tang army, it was impossible to hold on to such a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people, they were just waiting, waiting for the final judgment of fate.

Waiting is undoubtedly an unbearable torment, especially for those who are waiting for death, no one knows when the sword hanging above their heads will fall down, and they can't think of anyone else in this world who can save themselves, however, everyone has no way out except to wait, and they can't escape - how can more than 100,000 slow women, children, old and young escape from the pursuit of the Tang cavalry, and even if they can, how can the Yibi Lu who was killed from the north let go of the rebellious tribes, let alone once the few cattle and sheep left in the camp are discarded, Even if everyone fled into the desert, it was also a dead end, therefore, waiting became the only choice among the five major tribes of the Jin Jin did not have a choice - more than 100,000 tribes gathered in several connected large villages, waiting quietly, except for the occasional baby cry, there was no other sound, that is, the cattle and sheep were also silenced under the huge pressure of waiting, and the tense atmosphere spread wantonly in the village, and silence became the unanimous choice of everyone.

In the dead silence, first a puff of smoke and dust rose from the western horizon, and then an ominous black line loomed out of the smoke and dust, and the silence suddenly seemed like a fragile pottery hitting a stone heavily, and it easily turned into nothing, the sound of inhalation, shouting, and crying suddenly rose, and the last glimmer of hope of the hundreds of thousands of Turks hiding in the stockades was completely turned into powder, and several stockades were all thrown into chaos, no matter how the leaders of the various clans and magnates bounced, it was useless. Despair spread like a plague through the crowd.

In the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, tens of thousands of troops in the smoke and dust quickly approached the old camp of the Western Turks, suddenly, a terrible horn sounded in the cavalry formation, the cavalry brigade that was originally galloping on horseback stopped abruptly, only one breath, tens of thousands of troops have steadily stopped at the nearest stockade only a little more than a stone's throw away, neat and uniform, except for the occasional sound of war horses, there is no other movement, in the silence, a huge pressure arises, The Western Turks, who were originally shouting, collectively lost their voices, and the whole scene was eerily quiet and terrifyingly quiet!

"Your Highness, let the old man go into the village to discuss with the heads of the people, so that he can surrender, and ask His Highness for permission." Sogsos, who had always been riding his horse and following behind Li Zhen, saw that Li Zhen had never spoken, so he had to take a step forward and ask for instructions very respectfully.

"Yes, Suo Lao, but it doesn't hurt to go, remember, there is only a pillar of incense, and when it is outdated, please forgive this king without waiting." Li Zhen glanced sideways at Sogthos with an expressionless face, and said unhurriedly.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Sogthos bowed and saluted, not daring to slack off, and hurriedly led a dozen of his own guards to rush towards the gate of the main village. The Western Turkic soldiers hiding behind the gate saw Sogersos returning, and hurriedly opened the gate, let Sogasos and his party enter the village, and then hurriedly closed the gate, as if they were afraid that the Tang army would take the opportunity to storm the gate.

"Suo Lao, how is the situation?"

"Uncle Suo, what is Tang Jun going to do?"

"Suo Ye, what is the intention of Tang Jun?"

……

Before Sogosus could speak, a group of clan leaders of all sizes gathered around and shouted nonsense, making Sogossos's head much bigger. Seeing the anxious appearance of the leaders, and then thinking of the mighty formation of the Tang Army outside the village, Sogeros smiled helplessly, pressed his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, looked around at the fat-headed and big-eared waste around him, forcibly suppressed the irritability in his heart, and slowly spoke: "Everyone, His Royal Highness the King of Yue has only one request, that is, the conditions at the beginning of the year cannot be changed, and if you don't fall, you will die, and you will see that it is done." ”

"How can this work, we are all descendants of the wolf god, how can we surrender without a fight!"

"No, I'm used to it, I don't have a place to go to Chang'an to be idle, grandma's, fight with them!"

"Suo Ye, how is this good? Alas, can you discuss it with His Royal Highness King Yue again, I can wait for the surrender, and Chang'an will not have to go. ”

……

As soon as Sogsos's words fell, all the people in the same group were bluffed, some jumped to scold their mothers, some sighed, and some of them sighed, and there were good words to ask Sogsos to go to negotiators again, dozens of mouths quarreled into a piece, but Sogosus quietly did not say a word, without him, it seems that such a scene has long been expected by him, from the beginning of the year to the present, the same scene Sogsus has long been used to it, and it is also clear that this group of waste in front of him is reluctant to give up the power in his hands at all, Sogsus had already said what he had to say many times, and it would be useless to say more at this time, so he just let them make a fuss.

"Shut up the fuck!" Ashina Bexi, who was in charge of guarding the old camp, couldn't stand it anymore, and roared violently, suppressing all the people who were shouting blindly, and then looked at Sogsos with a dark face and said: "Uncle Suo, can you delay it for some time, I have already sent someone to ask my brother to return to the army, if you can......"

Sogsos waved his hand, interrupted Ashina Bessi's words, and said with a wry smile: "Bessi, there is no need to say more, His Royal Highness the King of Yue gave a pillar of incense time, and now, it is almost time to arrive, although the old man does not want to surrender, but he does not want to die, I have made up my mind, so I will lead the people out of the village, and you will be good at it." As soon as Sogsos's voice fell, and regardless of the reaction of the group of sub-heads, he staggered out of the crowd and walked towards the location of the Sogmohe people, and the group of sub-leaders behind them were all dumbfounded, and stood there with their faces looking at each other, like a pile of wooden stakes.

It's over, it's completely over! Seeing that Sogsos, who was the backbone of the family, had given up resistance, everyone's mind couldn't help but sound the last elegy, and they were so sad that no one had the heart to talk more for a while, but at this moment, a burst of cheers suddenly sounded on the wall: "Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming, the Great Khan is back!" Suddenly, hundreds of thousands of people were all excited, and they all rushed to the wall, and watched the horse caravan rolling from the east through the cracks in the fence, and suddenly the hope that had been shattered suddenly rose again.

In the east, in the midst of the smoke and dust, an earthy yellow fashion was stirring in the strong wind, and Ashnathro, who had established himself as Ges Khan, rode his horse to the forefront of the army with a dusty face, his face was full of exhaustion - since receiving the letter of help from the rear, he had led his troops to run wildly for several hours, and by this time he was physically and mentally exhausted, but when he saw that his old camp was still intact, his hanging heart was finally a little looser, and then he looked at the tens of thousands of Tang cavalry who had already turned the direction and lined up, Ashina Thero's heart instantly sank to the bottom- This time, only the five thousand men and horses of the pro-guard army who came back with him were all remnants of the soldiers after a long battle, coupled with the crazy rush for several hours, not only people, but also the war horses under the seat have reached the point of being unsustainable, how can it be the opponent of the Tang army who is waiting for work, this battle does not have to be fought is also a "defeat", of course, Ashina Thero never thought of fighting Li Zhen again, all he can do, to put it bluntly, is just to see if he can fight for more benefits for himself, as for whether it can be done, Ashina Thero didn't even have a little bottom in his heart, but at this moment, he had no room to retreat, so he could only bite the bullet.

"All stopped!" Look at the time when he was about to rush to the place of three arrows away from the Tang army, Ashina Sero was deeply afraid of causing the misunderstanding of the Tang army, and hurriedly gave the order to stop, with the sound of the horn, the galloping Western Turkic army slowly stopped at a distance of more than a stone's throw from the Tang army, but the people and horses were not in order, and they were all panting, compared with the Tang army with a strict lineup, the high and low judgments, which made the face of Ashina Thero, who was already quite frustrated, suddenly became even more ugly, but at this moment he had no way to retreat at all. Gritting his teeth, he slowly rode out of the horse, came to the front of the formation, and raised his voice: "His Royal Highness King Yue is here?" How about you please take a step forward? ”

This old boy came very quickly, hey, it seems that he was embarrassed enough last time, and he was so depressed that he couldn't even take a decent personal guard, which is really pitiful! Li Zhen saw the untidy appearance of Ashina Thero's clothes, and his heart suddenly moved, but he didn't lose Ashina Thero's face, shook the reins of the horse, and slowly walked forward, and when he got closer, he greeted with a smile: "After a long time, Brother Thurro's demeanor is still the same, congratulations." ”

Seeing Li Zhen's words with ridicule, the old face couldn't help but turn red, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness said that you are laughing, Your Highness is coming, and you are late to greet you, please forgive me, but I don't know if Your Highness is here, can you need a certain service?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just a matter discussed a year ago, this king has never heard a response, and he is a little anxious, hehe, this king is an anxious son, since he can't wait for Brother Thurro's reply, he has to come to the door and ask for understanding, Brother Thuro won't mind?" Li Zhen shrugged her shoulders indifferently and said very casually.

Yes, look at what Li Zhen said, mentioning that the army was killed on the door of the people, and he just said that he was here to ask for an answer, and he dared to love that the answer was written with a knife and gun, and the threat in that word suddenly made Ashina Sulo choke suddenly, and had the heart to refute it, but unfortunately the situation is stronger than people at this time, Ashina Sullo was dissatisfied, and there was no room for him to attack, so he had to accompany him and smiled: "Your Highness is polite, if you want to send someone to say yes, a certain self will be offered with both hands, but today's incident happened suddenly, and he has not returned to the old camp for a long time, I don't know what the situation is in the camp? I wonder if Your Highness can allow a certain advanced battalion to ask clearly, and then discuss the rest? ”

"This is natural, this king gave Suo Lao a pillar of incense time, since he can't favor one over the other, so it's okay, this king will also give Brother Thureau a pillar of incense time, but what, Brother Thuro also invites a single person into the camp, otherwise, I am afraid that it will not look good if it causes a misunderstanding, so it can be done?" Li Zhen didn't really look down on the combat effectiveness of the 5,000 personal guards led by Ashina Thero, but he didn't want to let them enter the old camp - once they couldn't get along, it would be easier to annihilate the 5,000 men and horses in the field than to storm the camp with fences and arrow towers, and it was obvious that Li Zhen didn't want to leave Ashina Serro any chance to turn the tables around.

Li Zhen's words were very polite, but he was undoubtedly resolute inside, and it was clear that he wanted to suppress people with power, but Ashina Sero had no way to do it, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and he had to laugh and say on the surface: "Thank you, Your Highness, I will obey the order." As soon as the words fell, he bowed respectfully to Li Zhen, and then returned to his own array, and after a few words of hurried explanation, he rode alone towards the main village of the old camp.

"Great Khan, you're back."

"Great Khan, you have to call the shots for us."

"Great Khan, the Tang army is too deceitful, we can't wait."

……

The heads of the various departments who were very excited together saw Ashina Sero enter the gate of the village, and they all surrounded him without waiting for him to get off the horse, shouting non-stop, all counting on Ashina Serro's ability to turn the tide, and the look of anticipation on everyone's face made Ashina Sero worry for a while, he didn't bother to talk to this group of short-sighted guys at all, straightened his face, and snorted coldly: "All retreat, how to do this Great Khan has its own measure." As soon as the words fell, he didn't care how the gang leaders reacted, jumped off his horse, and strode towards Sogosus, who was standing quietly aside.

"Uncle Suo, I ......" Seeing that Sogersos's old face was full of sadness, Ashina Therro felt a pain in his heart, and he couldn't speak anymore.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, the Great Khan doesn't have to be so sad, come, talk to the old man." With an unhealthy flush on his face, Sogsus smiled and patted Ashnathro on the shoulder, comforting him, and then walked into a large tent with his head down. Ashina Therro was stunned for a moment, hurriedly followed, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Suo, Li Zhen Xiao'er only gave a pillar of incense time, you see ......"

"Yes, the old man knows." Sogsus smiled bitterly and waved his hand, signaling that Ashina Serro didn't need to say much, walked to a carpet by himself, sat down with difficulty, glanced at Ashina Sero lovingly, and said with a smile: "Great Khan, Uncle Suo is old, he can't see things too far, the Great Khan is still young, even if he falls, he may not have the time to get up again, well, remember what happened to Ashina Simo?" ”

Ashina Simo is the Eastern Turk Khan Li Simo who caused the battle between Tang and Xue Yantuo Shuozhou, this person was originally a side branch of the Eastern Turkic royal family, and later surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and was canonized as the Eastern Turk Khan by Li Shimin in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, but unfortunately this person stood on the side of Jieli Khan in the Eastern Turkic civil strife, killed a lot of civilians, and was always unpopular. Now he is just an idle general in Chang'an.

Although the Eastern and Western Turks have long been divided into two khanates, there are still some contacts between them, Li Simo is so much The Western Turk high-level naturally knows about it, Ashina Sero was the left wolf commander of the Khan's court back then, and he also knows the matter of Ashina Simo, at this time, when he heard Sogersos mention this matter, he was stunned at first, and then a pair of leopard eyes suddenly lit up, and he muttered for a while: "Uncle Suo, what do you mean ......?"

Sogsos didn't wait for Ashina Thelo to speak, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Great Khan, there are some things that can be done but not said, you must know that trouble comes from the mouth, what to do, the Great Khan should be able to understand." ”

"Hmm." Ashina Sero responded, but he was still a little uneasy and said: "Uncle Suo, Li Zhen is not a generous person like Tian Khan, if he takes the opportunity to get rid of me, it is not impossible, besides, the reform of his state and county seems to be effective, if it is allowed to develop, there will be no more people from my tribes, what should I do?" ”

Ashina Thero said that Sogersos has obviously considered it all for a long time, and he understands that there may be danger, which is also the root reason why Sogasus did not insist on surrendering Li Zhen at the beginning of the year, however, the situation is changing with time, and the five major clans have long had no bargaining capital, even if they know that there may be a trap ahead, they can only jump in. The Han people have an old saying: sincerity is the gold and stone. The Great Khan is good to come to his senses, and the old man's words are all here, and the Great Khan decides himself. As soon as the words fell, he closed his eyes and said no more, and Ashina Sero didn't ask any more questions, but stood silently in the tent, thinking quietly......

Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was the time of the unitary time, seeing that the hour was approaching, and there was no movement in the old camp of the Western Turks, Li Zhen's face sank more and more, looked up at the sky, his hand was slowly raised, and the murderous aura burst out in his eyes, and he was about to wave his hand to give the order to attack, but he heard a commotion in the direction of the old camp of the Western Turks, and then, the closed camp gate slowly opened, Ashina Sero walked out of the door on foot with a package in his hand, followed by a large group of white and fat people, As soon as you look at the fat heads and big ears of those people, you can guess that those people must be the tribal magnates who stayed in the old camp, so far, Li Zhen's hanging heart finally let go, and when people were not looking, he secretly let out a sigh, calmed down his mentality, and rode towards Ashina Thero's party......
