Today's Dingyuan City has become the capital of the Heavenly Khan in Yunzhou.

Wearing a leather jacket sewn from a whole brown bear skin, Tian Khan stood on the gate tower north of Dingyuan City and looked north, where was the Northern Regions, his hometown.

A haze suddenly welled up on the face of the Heavenly Khan.

Just a month ago, rumors from the Northern Regions spread to the various tribes of Yunzhou, and the army of the Snow Cloud Kingdom marched south and occupied twelve cities in the central part of the Northern Regions that were originally under the control of the Emperors, and even the Dragon City, which symbolized the supreme majesty of the Heavenly Khan, was not spared. Suddenly, the hearts of the captives fluctuated.

And a few days ago, the Ulle Department, which was in charge of guarding the rear, finally sent back the exact news, and the message was true, and the army of the Snow Cloud Kingdom had approached the junction of Yunzhou and the Northern Regions. The 20,000 troops of the Ulle Department are facing off against the 100,000 troops of the regular army of the Mengbu and the Xueyun Kingdom in Cangmo Mountain, and the situation is already precarious, and reinforcements are urgently needed!

Tian Khan stretched out his hand and stroked the cold city wall in front of him, although two years had passed, these more than 300 bloody handprints seemed to have sneaked into this city wall, and they could not be erased.

Tian Khan had heard that this was when Zheng Pingfei personally led his own 300 personal guards to defend Dingyuan, and when Zheng Pingfei took the lead in the final evacuation, everyone left a bloody handprint here

"Marquis Jingping, are you telling Gu that you will kill back one day? The timing of the Snow Cloud Country's southward movement this time is so good, I'm afraid it was also caused by you, that young Nine Emperor Prince didn't have this ability. Tian Khan sighed with emotion.

A creaking sound of stamping on the snow gradually walked in, and Wulu knelt down on one knee behind Tian Khan and said, "Father, the two uncles of the Tiger King and the Wolf King, and all the leaders have arrived, just waiting for you." ”

"Hmm!"

Tian Khan nodded, turned around and slowly walked down the city gatehouse.

The original city lord's mansion in Dingyuan City has become the temporary palace of Tian Khan.

In the main hall, many generals and leaders of the major clans were arguing about the current situation. As the footsteps of Tian Khan approached, the main hall, which was still a little quarrelsome, suddenly fell silent.

Tian Khan took off his bearskin coat and handed it to the attendants beside him, and walked into the main hall, followed by Wulu.

Waiting for the Heavenly Khan to sit down in the main hall, he slowly spoke: "I think you all know the reason why I called you here this time. That's right, the army of the Snow Cloud Kingdom took advantage of my unpreparedness to sneak attack the rear of our northern region, and now it is approaching the area of Cangdesolate Moshan, and our battle with the Great Wei army and the Nangong family's Su army in the south is still no progress. ”

The people who had been arguing before the arrival of the Heavenly Khan were silent at this time, and each of them had a little flickering in the depths of their eyes, obviously thinking about it.

Tian Khan looked at the Tiger King and the Wolf King who were sitting on his left and right, but these two people did not say anything, it seemed that although they had some thoughts in their hearts, they were unwilling to be the first to speak.

The leader of a large tribe looked around left and right, and saw that no one stepped forward, so he could only stubbornly step forward to pay homage and said: "My king is above, now that the 100,000 troops of the Xueyun Kingdom are hoarded in the north of me, and the Ulle Department is in urgent need of rescue, I think it is better to solve the urgent need first and send reinforcements." ”

Tian Khan did not say that he knew that this person was related to the patriarch of the Ul tribe, so it was not surprising that he helped the Ul tribe to ask for help.

"No kidding. Another big man got up, knelt down on one knee in front of the Heavenly Khan and said: "My king is above, although the war in the south is now deadlocked, but it is all because of the tricks of the Central Plains people, I think as long as we reorganize our team and raid the southeast of Yunzhou controlled by the Su army, we will be able to break the deadlock in one game." ”

Tian Khan was not very familiar with this general, but he noticed that when he spoke again, there was a faint flash in the wolf king's eyes.

Is this what the wolf king meant in his heart? Or is this a person to test Lone's mind?

Tian Khan thought a lot in his heart at once.

Although it is generally recognized that the smartest person in the Northern Regions should be the Elder of Heaven, when it comes to war wisdom, the Wolf King is still superior. What Tian Khan cares about most is the meaning of the wolf king, but why did he use this person to test Gu's thoughts?

However, Tian Khan immediately knew that the Wolf King was not testing himself, but testing the reactions of the people below in front of him.

Sure enough, two completely different opinions were put forward, which immediately caused controversy among everyone, and the leaders of the tribes were openly divided into two factions, one focused on rescuing the north, the other insisted on going south, and a small number of people did not express their opinions, they did not help each other.

However, it seems that there are still more tribes that want to go north.

Tian Khan sighed in his heart, now that the Snow Cloud Country is marching in with great fanfare, it can be seen that the extremely cold storm in the Northern Region has passed, after all, it is the homeland of the Yu people, whether it is the lowest herdsman or the high-level tribal leader, everyone is still more willing to go back.

The rescue in the north is just a pretense, and the most important thing is to use it to march in and recover the land in the north.

The quarrel in the hall intensified, the captives were already heroic, and suddenly someone fought, and as soon as the head opened, the two sides immediately became a ball, Tian Khan frowned, and the black deer next to him immediately understood, and said sharply: "What is it like!

Tian Khan suddenly turned to the wolf king and asked, "Wolf, what do you mean?"

The wolf king stood up and said respectfully: "Back to the king, compared with the bitter cold of the Northern Regions, Yunzhou is indeed more suitable for me to develop and grow, but now the important thing is to solve the crisis between the north and the south, and it will be okay in the short term, once the Snow Cloud Kingdom and the Great Wei form a flanking attack on us, it will be very bad." ”

Tian Khan turned to the Tiger King: "Tiger, what do you mean?"

"I think the same as the Wolf King. The Tiger King stood up and answered.

Although the Tiger King and the Wolf King behaved like this, Tian Khan knew in his heart that the Wolf King was the core of the Returning to the North faction, and the Tiger King was bent on going south to plunder more resources and fields, if there was no disagreement between them,

How could these tribes be divided into two factions and so blatantly pinch each other in front of them.

"Silence. "Tian Khan has a plan in his heart, and his majestic voice spreads throughout the hall. Tian Khan stretched out his hand to summon the black deer on the side, and said in a loud voice: "In my opinion, there is nothing to argue about, whether it is going north or south, you can't get around the pass of the Snow Cloud Country." Wulu, I will ask you to bring 100,000 elite soldiers to support the Ulle tribe, and first resist the offensive of the army of the Snow Cloud Country for them. ”

"Boy commands!" replied Wulu, kneeling down on one knee.

......

After finishing the things in the court, Tian Khan, who returned to the study, exuded a gloomy aura throughout his body. In order to let the captives avoid the catastrophe of this ice age, he planned this strategy of invading Yunzhou in the south. But now not only did the expected goal not be achieved, but his own people had internal disagreements, and even rumors have spread in the streets, saying that in order to preserve his lineage, he did not hesitate to throw many of his compatriots in the Northern Regions and let them fend for themselves.

Although this was by no means the original intention of the Heavenly Khan, it is now a fact.

Tian Khan withdrew from all his subordinates, and closed his eyes and pondered in the study alone. I don't know how long it took for the door to be pushed open.

I saw Mu Ying, the elder of Tianyu, respectfully enter the study, bow to the heavenly khan, and say, "Your Majesty, you are looking for me." ”

"Wood Baby. "Tian Khan and Mu Ying have been friends for decades, and their relationship is much purer than that between Tian Khan and the Tiger King and the Wolf King. Tian Khan told Mu Ying about his concerns, and said bluntly: "In your opinion, go south or go north?"

Mu Ying's face did not change and said: "Now people's hearts are fluctuating, for my captive family, there is actually only one choice from beginning to end. ”

"Do you also agree to go north and return to the Northern Regions?" Tian Khan sighed slightly, he didn't think about this, but it took a lot of effort to control almost all of Yunzhou, and it really made him a little unwilling to return it so directly.

Mu Ying was silent when he saw that the Khan was silent, and said: "Your Majesty, if you really have plans to go south, then the only way is to delay." ”

"Drag?

Mu Ying looked at the appearance of Tian Khan, who didn't know that he was still inclined to go south in his heart, although he sighed in his heart, his face did not change: "It's drag." Now that the Southern Su Army and the Nine Emperor Princes Wei Jin have joined forces, coupled with the many masters provided by the force called Wind and Rain Pavilion behind them, they have managed their defense line as if they were ironclad, and if our captive army launches another onslaught, it will only lose more than it gains, and it will be completely dragged into the rhythm of the other party. But don't forget, the king doesn't have much time to do, and once he dies, the Central Plains will be in chaos, and then ......"

"At that time, these Nine Emperor Princes will definitely return to Yanjing, plus several princes of Great Wei will compete for the Ninety-Five Throne, and the time will come for us to go south!"

Tian Khan waved his hand: "Then drag it!"
