Chapter 854: Betrayal of the Alliance

Ainur's actions were beyond Ashina's expectations.

He knew that Ainur was dissatisfied with him, but Ashina Falcon didn't care, thinking that sooner or later, he would completely conquer this pearl of the grassland.

Although things didn't go well after that, I wouldn't think that Ainul would turn against him in such a situation, what does that mean? It shows that Ainur has long colluded with a certain force in Daliang.

Collusion with foreigners to kill the Turks themselves? In any case, Ashina Falcon did not think of this. For no one knows better than him how much Ainur cares about his identity as a Turk.

She is the pearl of the grassland, and she is the princess of the former royal family Ashid family, she likes the Central Plains culture, that is just a preference, and the grassland is her root.

It's just that I didn't expect that in order to overthrow himself and regain the identity of the Asid royal family, Ainul would actually do this!

It's not just him who was equally surprised.

As the commander of the Jincheng side, he naturally understood the various situations clearly, and Li Xiuning never expected to receive Ainul's assistance in this war, at most, it was instantaneous cooperation. The Turkic army in the camp at the North Gate may not have to worry, but the West Gate has to be defended.

Therefore, Li Xiuning has long been ready to fight a tough battle, and for this reason, he specially left 5,000 cavalry troops as his rear hand, and it is definitely not possible to fight head-on, but it is always possible to delay time, as long as there is a place in the east gate and south gate to defeat the enemy, he can free up manpower to deal with it.

Since being brought to Daliang by Zhou Shaoyu, Li Xiuning has always used a strange word to stand out, mostly based on surprise attacks. This is also because its own forces have never been superior, and it cannot withstand too many casualties.

However, as she said at the earliest, fighting a war is a dignified and upright battle, comparing troops, armaments, and morale, how can there be so many strategies available.

Li Xiuning wanted to come up with a plan to burn and flood the water to directly wipe out the army, but is it possible?

This kind of strategy is indispensable for the right people at the right time, and how can it be said that it can be used.

The Turkic army turned around and returned to attack Taiyuan, rushing all the way, it was bound to be sleepy and tired, there was no better opportunity than this, who did not know the bravery of the Turks? The army of Zhenxi Mansion can be elite, otherwise it will not be able to subdue the countries of the Western Regions, and the alliance army of the countries of the Western Regions is not vegetarian, even so, although it has caused a lot of casualties to the Turks, they have suffered greater losses.

In the end, there were only more than 50,000 left in Zhenxi Mansion and the Western Regions Alliance Army, and if there was no change, there would be no defeat.

On the other hand, Li Xiuning would not doubt Zhou Shaoyu and Yang Miao's training skills, but no matter how good the training is, it still lacks actual combat, which is far inferior to the division of a hundred battles. As for Fang Hong's army in Taiyuan City, Li Xiuning would not have any expectations at all, because the commanders of the troops were all literati!

The literati are not without people who train and lead the army, they are just top-notch, and there is always only a small hand, no matter how knowledgeable the Fang family is, they have never heard of anyone who has led soldiers to fight. Even if it is overestimated, it may be possible to fight an ordinary army, but if it is directly used to fight the Turks, it will inevitably be overwhelmed.

What to do? Is it just watching this opportunity disappear? When the Turks finish recuperating and then want to fight, it will not be so easy, or the same sentence, where will there be so many strategies!

However, Ashina Falcon is by no means a mediocre person, and the more sleepy and lacking people are, the more they will pay attention to guarding against night attacks. If you rush straight up, it is no different from losing your life in vain.

That's why there was the previous dispute between Li Xiuning and Zhou Shaoyu.

Trade the lives of the defenders of Taewon Castle for a chance to win!

A night attack that almost poured out of the nest is bound to make the Turks relax their guard, and can also exacerbate the sleepiness of the Turks, and when the dawn is approaching, it is the time when people are most sleepy, how can they not be victorious when they launch a surprise attack at this moment.

Of course, there is still a hard battle, because of the limitation of troops, it is impossible to divide the army into three ways to attack separately, so it is necessary to defeat the Turkic camp as soon as possible, and then fight with the Ximen camp.

It's just that I didn't expect Ainur to choose to jump out at this time and become the last straw that crushed Ashina Falcon.

However, it is not so surprising, after this defeat, Ashina Falcon's prestige will fall to a low point, and no one will be willing to continue the southern invasion plan with him. But on the other hand, even if he is defeated and retreats to the grassland, Ashina Falcon is still a khan, and it is difficult to overthrow it if he does not unite a certain force.

Perhaps because of this, Ainul was not willing to wait for the opportunity any longer, but directly took advantage of the situation.

In this way, those allies who are only verbal will become an iron alliance, and it is impossible to return to Ashina Falcon's side, as long as the banner against Ashina Falcon is erected, those who hate and oppose Ashina Falcon will naturally move closer to her.

Well, thinking too much, in fact the reason is very simple.

Of course, there are other factors, but what are the main reasons......

Ainul does have some ability, but no matter how capable he is, there is also a crucial premise. That is, Ainur is a woman!

Perhaps as a Turk, she doesn't value chastity, but no matter what, she can't accept marrying Ashina Falcon to be a snake.

Once it retreats to the grassland, what else can Ashina Falcon, who knows that it will be difficult to launch another southern invasion, can he target? What else could there be but possession of her? Dominating the steppe? People are already Khans, okay?

Therefore, if you don't mutiny at this time, when will you take the opportunity to find a way to kill Ashina Falcon with one shot?

It's just that everyone guessed Ashina Falcon's idea wrongly.

Knowing that if he doesn't evacuate, he will face the encirclement and suppression of the Ainur army, so how can he be defeated?

Ashina Falcon evacuated very decisively, the banner was raised, and he retreated quickly, and the chaotic soldiers under his command did not need orders, so they would naturally follow and flee for their lives.

All the way to the east, a handful of lights were lit up at the camp at the east gate in the distance, and the defeated Turkic soldiers here also subconsciously followed.

When they ran all the way, they counted the soldiers and horses, and there were more than 35,000 people.

Compared with the previous army, this is a pitiful few, although there are still people who have not escaped, but more have been killed in the previous raid. But fortunately, there is still the strength to fight.

Ashina Falcon evacuated quickly enough, and Li Xiuning did not pursue, because at this time, the person who wanted Ashina Falcon to die more than her was Ainur!

Li Xiuning led the army to stay behind to clean up the battlefield and count the casualties and results. Ainul was a little indignant and led his troops to pursue, originally, I cooperated with you so much, but you didn't help me, you are still an ally!

People are not happy, Zhou Shaoyu is not there, Li Xiuning is not familiar, what can Ainul do, he can only lead the army to catch up on his own.

Ashina Falcon has always been Ashina Falcon, the person who can rise to become a khan and launch a southern invasion to occupy the state is by no means in vain, and in a short period of time, he organized a rout to fight back, and Ainur's side was defeated, but fortunately, even if those small leaders were panicked, they could not defect to Ashina Falcon again.

The army was stationed outside the city of Taiyuan, and Ainur led some guards into the city, and saw that Li Xiuning and others were already sitting in the city drinking tea and eating pastries, and couldn't help but be furious.

"What the hell do you mean?" Ainul couldn't help but question, he was so cooperative, and even took the initiative to avoid a big battle with Li Xiuning. The result? What do you get? Had to lead only his own army in pursuit?

"What do you mean, isn't it already obvious?" Li Xiuning said lightly, his expression was cold, without the slightest expression, and he slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

She has not been in the north for a long time, and if she rashly stands at the highest position and directly commands the troops, it will inevitably make people unconvinced, so the commander on the bright side of this battle is still Yang Miaozhen, but in fact, before Zhou Shaoyu arrived safely in Taiyuan City, everything is currently in her charge.

"I won't tell you, what about Zhou Shaoyu?" Ainur was very unfamiliar with Li Xiuning, and when he saw that others were looking at Li Xiuning, he directly changed his words.

"At this moment, you should still be asleep and have not yet come here, or will you wait?" Li Xiuning put down the teacup and said lightly again.

Well, how did Ainur understand that people were born with this temperament, and thought that people were deliberately doing this, it was just infuriating.

"Too much deception!" Ainul said with a secret hatred.

"Heh......" Li Xiuning sneered, the corners of his mouth finally raised slightly, and said, "This is your own choice, isn't it?" No one asks you to cooperate with the army. At present, Ashina Falcon has suffered a big defeat, and its prestige has fallen into a trough, and it is no longer possible to have the spare strength to launch a southern invasion, even if it is forced to stay, the opportunity to beat the water dogs, presumably Zhenxi Mansion and the eldest princess of the Shu Kingdom, Xiao Jiwen, will not let go, I have already been in the limelight, and I must always leave some soup for others. As for you, since it has nothing to do with the land of my Shenzhou, what does it matter to me whether the Turks live or die! ”

"You...... You...... Are you going to break your covenant? Ainul was so shocked that he hurriedly rested his right hand on the hilt of his sword, even wondering if these people would do it to him.

And the people here also have different expressions.

Yang Miaozhen is a veteran of the battlefield, isn't this kind of thing very common? Don't you hear, soldiers, treacherous! Moreover, even if he has no sense of belonging to Daliang, Ainur's Turkic identity is undoubted, a foreign race is a foreign race, and Yang Miaozhen will not have a good feeling.

And the great Confucian Fang Hong, do you think this person who can agree to Li Xiuning's plan will care about this kind of thing? I've been in the court for almost a lifetime, and I don't know how much I deceive, but this matter is just Erer.

As for Xu Miaojin and Lu Lingqi, they are neutral, the former was born in the Ming Wei Mansion, and his father is Xu Da, the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. And Lu Lingqi is similar, just kidding, his father Lu Bu has betrayed less in his life? Well, although it didn't end well. In short, do not approve, nor oppose, go with the flow.

However, the rest of the girls are somewhat unbearable, whether it is Bian Yujing or Yin Lihua, whether it is Wu Meiniang or Xiao Qiao, they are all a little uncomfortable, this kind of betrayal of allies is really a bit immoral.

Maybe with Wu Meiniang's personality after history, she won't care at all, but isn't this brought over by Zhou Shaoyu a long time ago, even if she has grown a lot, she is still a little bit of a girl after all. Not to mention the relatively innocent Xiao Qiao.

But I have to admit that if it is only from a rational analysis, Li Xiuning's approach is very feasible. At this point, is it possible for the Ashina Falcon to continue to invade south? Even if there is, it will take many years to recover, although there are still many Turkic warriors on the steppe, but it is impossible to bring them all out to fight, so the current casualties alone are enough to slow down the Turks for a long time.

Since it won't invade south, what does it have to do with me?

Help you chase down the Ashina Falcon and kill it. And then what? Sit back and watch you return to the grassland to unify the overall situation, and then, invade the south again? Even if it may be small, it is possible, standing on the side of the Central Plains, which is better, a chaotic Turk or a unified Turk?

As long as the grassland is in chaos, then after completely occupying and annexing the state, there is no need to send troops to defend it, and more troops can be thrown out to attack the city. As for the purchase of war horses and other materials, there are so many grassland tribes, do you have to find Ainur?

"There is no need to say it so ugly, I just had a big battle, and I suffered heavy casualties, and I am powerless to help, but it doesn't matter, you are not fighting alone, presumably Zhenxi Mansion will be very interested in revenge, you can contact him." Li Xiuning suggested lightly.

Ha...... Ainur laughed angrily, Zhenxi Mansion? Are you kidding, even if there was no enmity before, such a war would have become a mortal enemy, what kind of attitude Zhenxi Mansion would have for the time being, just talking about the Turkic side, if he actually went to Zhenxi Mansion to form an alliance, what would others think? How else can you convince others?

At that time, even if she successfully killed Ashina Falcon, she didn't want to do too much, don't forget, she is always a daughter, and several of her brothers and uncles, straw bales are straw bales, but they are not completely dry meals. So when the time comes, what else can she do?

That's right, it's her mission to revive Asid, but if she can't take power, she can even make a bargaining chip for marriage, ha, why?

"Is this what you mean, or is it Zhou Shaoyu's meaning!" Ainul gritted his teeth and asked the last question, if it is the former, Ainul will retain the last hope, if it is the latter, then he will be a mortal enemy in the future!

With Li Xiuning's intelligence, how could he not hear what Ainur meant, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his red lips opened lightly.

"Of course it'......"

"Of course not I meant!" Zhou Shaoyu suddenly appeared at the door, his voice was loud, but he was obviously suppressing his anger! "Ainul, I'll explain your matter to you later, and now, I have something else to deal with in advance."

After that, he stared at Li Xiuning and walked over step by step.

At first, Li Xiuning was still very stubborn in staring back, but as the distance got closer and closer, Li Xiuning was a little flustered, because Zhou Shaoyu was really angry this time! In the past, even if he was angry, it was pretend, and he could still see the love, doting and joy in Zhou Shaoyu's eyes, but now, obviously not!

"I, I'm not convinced!" Li Xiuning couldn't sit still, stood up and said loudly: "At least, you hypocrite is not qualified to be angry with me!" ”
