October 18th, flat pine forests and peach water.

The cold wind roared, and another snow fell from the sky, flying all over the sky. The temperature dropped sharply, and the River of Lightning was frozen.

Chi Jishe Asuna Duna braved the severe cold wind and snow, with ten thousand control strings, and rushed to the west coast of Taoshui. The front-line general Suni Asuna Duna, Thunderbi Ashideba, Jie Lifa Wuguli, Shijin Wusu Chengzong and other large number of officers came out to greet him enthusiastically, but what they saw was a cold face and a pair of equally cold eyes. Asuna Duna was standing high on the horse, his face was as cold as frost, without saying a word, facing the generals, he nodded and waved his whip to respond, looking very bad.

Ashi's dumb emotions immediately affected the front line officers. The smiles on their faces suddenly dissipated, and a shadow flashed across their hearts. Could it be that the rumors from Guifang were true?

Ashinadula suddenly led his army to support him, and his expression was solemn, worried, and depressed. It was obviously not because of the cold weather and heavy snow or because he was exhausted from traveling overnight. It must be because the current situation has undergone major changes that are not conducive to the Southeast Yaqi Banner. The only one who can endanger the interests of the Southeast Yaqi tribe are the Xi tribe, which was attacked by Middle-earth. So it is not difficult to guess that the crisis on the Xi tribe may be serious, and even King Xi Ah Hui is likely.

They were defeated by the Middle-earth people. If the situation really changed like this, the responsibility of Ashinadula and the Southeast Teeth Banner of Ji would be great. It was precisely because of their wrong judgment that they tried to benefit the fisherman and delayed the rescue, which led to the destruction of the Xi tribe, and the profits of Zhongtu, which seriously damaged the interests of the Turks. Then Shibi Khan and the den would inevitably be investigated, and the matter would be troublesome. Although Ashinadula had to bear the responsibility, the aristocratic bureaucrats of Ji Southeast Teeth Banner of Ji could not refuse to blame and would be implicated.

After entering the camp in the dense forest and reaching the warm military tent, Chijisai Ashinaduo ordered to immediately convene a military agreement on the front-line generals above the Jin level.

Soon, a large number of senior officers from the southeastern Yaqi gathered in the commander's tent, from the highest military and political chiefs to the general tribe chiefs, and gathered together.

The Southeast Yaqi of Ji is a regional military institution directly under the Yaguan, which is equivalent to the Honghua Left-behind Office in Zhongtu and Zhuo County Left-behind Office in Zhongtu, but it has stronger independence, higher autonomy and greater power. Its highest military and political chief is set up, and the deputy chief is Yidu Protector. Under the Xinghe Yidu Protector, there is a chief clerk Zuo Dagan and a Tutun, who is in charge of the inspection.

In addition to them, among the other senior officials of the Yaqi, Suni, and Thun are the core decision-making level of the Yaqi. The highest military and political leadership of the region is generally the Turkic nobles, mainly the royal family Ashina and Ashide. In addition to them, among other senior officials of the Yaqi, Suni, the commander of the army is the most important. It is equivalent to the generals of the Twelve Guards, and is generally the Turkic nobles. Other races of different surnames are basically inseparable.

Suni is a commander of the cavalry army, and Thomas is a commander of the infantry army. However, outside the border, the means of transportation are all war horses. Even the infantry army uses horses to travel. In special circumstances, the cavalry can charge. Therefore, during the conquest, Thomas and Suni can serve as the front line commander alone. If both are present, Suni will be the chief and Thomas will be the deputy. This time, the Turkic army ordered to attack Taoshui this time had more than 10,000 cavalry, of which the commander was Ashina Aswen, and the deputy commander was Ashideba Kushui.

Below the Yaqi are the Turkic tribes and tribes of different surnames, as well as some mixed cities.

This tribe refers to a large tribe with a surname, such as the Wu tribe, and its highest leader is Jie Lifa Wuguli. The tribes of the different surnames refer to other races, such as the Xi tribe, the Jun tribe and the Khitan of the Donghu race. They are powerful tribes of the Turks. Their chief positions are Shi Lifa or Jie Lifa according to the comprehensive strength of the race, but most of them are Jie Lifa. As for some cities scattered in the desert, because they guard the important roads, they have special functions such as garrisoning troops, hoarding goods, returning to Yi, and transit, and their city lords are generally appointed by high Turkic nobles as Jie Lifa.

Jie Lifa's official position is equivalent to General Wu Ben Lang or General Wu Yalang in the Twelve Guards of the Middle Earth. There are many control strings under the tent, ranging from thousands, such as Wuguli, and there are eight thousand control strings under the tent. This time, he was ordered to lead more than 3,000 cavalry to attack Taoshui; there are tens of thousands, such as Ah Huizheng of the Xi tribe, and there are more than 30,000 control strings under the tent. Therefore, Jie Lifa all leads one army alone, and can guard one side or lead troops to conquer. However, in large-scale wars, various tribes gather, and Jie Lifa is an ordinary commander and must accept the command of a higher-level military commander.

Below Jie Lifa, Qi Jin, an ordinary tribe leader, commanded several governors (thousand commanders), equivalent to the level of Yingyanglang General in the Twelve Guards of Middle-earth. He was also a grassroots commander in the Turkic army.

Wusu Chengzong is at this level. Although he has a high prestige and great reputation on the Lightning Origin, and is also one of the most powerful tribal leaders of the Southeast Teeth Banner of the Chi, he is just an ordinary tribe chief under the Wu family. He has a low aristocratic rank and only has more than 3,000 string controls under his tent. His strength is also weak, and he is far away from the higher Turkic class.

This important military controversy tonight was chaired by Suni Aswin, and the first one to appear was the chief rank of the Yaqi Banner, Daganshi Alimen.

The position of Dagan is assigned by a special person to the tent to form a constraint on the highest chief and deputy chief of the tent flag.

This kind of constraint belongs to the internal system. In one system, we know ourselves and the enemy, effectively decentralize power, and restrain the supreme officials to prevent the power of the Supreme Chief from losing control. Unlike the inspector of Tutun, who is directly appointed by Khan and directly responsible to Khan, it belongs to another system. It is inherently conflicted and estranged from the military and political system, and is sharply opposed to each other. Both have great pros and cons. Many times, once the conflict is fierce, Khan and the tent are involved, and a little carelessness will form political turmoil. Therefore, in the era of the Khan of Qimin, we learned lessons and set a permanent establishment, but Tutun was not permanent, so as to ease the conflicts between the tent and tribes and populations, and speed up the speed of rest and recuperation. After Shibi Khan succeeded, he was ambitious and wanted to defeat Middle-earth and complete the great cause of unification. This would inevitably centralize power and increase control over tribes and populations, so Tutun was once again spread throughout the desert.

The Southeast Teeth Banner of Ji is no exception. Because the chief and deputy chief Ashinadula and Ashinayelan are both conservatives in the den, not only Tutun was appointed by Ashide Mohuang, but also Dagan was appointed by Shi Alimen, the backbone of the radical faction in the den. The opposition and confrontation between the decision-making level of the den, led to Ashinadula's failure to monopolize power even if he tried all his strength. He was at most defeated his opponent. This is also the reason why the Middle-Turkey rebels went out of the frontier and the Lightning River was in crisis. Ashinadula and Ashinasimo teamed up to fail to control the decision. Instead, he was repeatedly constrained by Shi Shuhu Huxi. However, Shi Shuhu Huxi guessed the result correctly, but he did not make the right guess process. The decision made mistakes, and finally Li Fengyun seized the flaws and successfully broke through and blocked the enemy and entered Anzhou.

It is precisely because of this that Shi Shuhu and Hu were ashamed and accepted Ashinasmo's persuasion, followed him to Zhongtu to investigate the truth and try to find opportunities to reverse the crisis. The radical forces of Yaqi Tutun Ashide Mohuang and Daganshi Alimen also temporarily "stopped the ball", actively cooperated with Ashinadu, stared at the Xi clan with covetous eyes, and patiently waited for the opportunity to attack.

During this period, Yaqi used various private channels to inquire about the movements in Anzhou. Although there were constant fierce battles between Taoshui and the passage of flat pine forests had been cut off, there were many small roads from Anzhou to the Lightning River, but the mountains were high and the roads were dangerous, and it took a lot of time. The news could still be conveyed.

Among all the news, the most surprising thing was the fall of Fangcheng and the Xi Wang Mansion was destroyed by the Middle-earth people. The reason for this bad result was that after hearing the bad news, Ah Hui thought of not withdrawing troops to counterattack, but preserving his strength. For this reason, he led the main army to retreat to the southeastern foot of Mayu Mountain, and tried his best to ensure that the army was not lost. For this reason, he sacrificed the Xi Wang tribe to delay time. The Xi Wang tribe was unwilling to destroy the clan, so he simply surrendered to the Middle-earth people and helped the Middle-earth people to conquer Fangcheng. Therefore, the situation underwent a subversive change in a short time. The originally passive Middle-earth people instantly grasped the initiative, while the originally active Xi tribe fell into the dilemma of destruction.

However, this news mainly comes from the King of the King of the King of the Ghost City, and the secret spies deployed in Fangcheng who were secretly deployed in Fangcheng, although the same news was sent back to confirm that the King of the Ghost City was betrayed and Fangcheng was in trouble, it also found that King of the Xihui had already led the main army to Wulishui, which was close to Fangcheng. The Middle-Turkish army had already come out in full swing. As for whether the two sides had launched a decisive battle, it is unknown at present. However, the news from Guifang City at the same time said that both sides fought fiercely in Wulishui and both sides suffered losses.

Although it is only more than 600 miles from Fangcheng to Lightning, it is chaotic during the war, and the key passes are blocked, so it is very difficult to deliver messages. Therefore, the latest news was ten days ago, and it comes from Guifangcheng more than 300 miles away. The serious lag in the news caused Yaqi to fall into trouble in the analysis of the Anzhou situation. The biggest trouble is whether troops were sent to Anzhou in the Great Wall? Is Zhongtu’s surface position and to break up with the Turks? This is very important and directly affects the future direction of the situation in the north and south. Don’t allow Yaqi to make any mistakes.

As for how to fight the Wulishui battle, and what the result is, it is closely related to this. If troops are sent in the Great Wall and Zhongtu is determined to break up with the Turks, Ah Hui will definitely be defeated, and there is no doubt that he will be destroyed. For the powerful Zhongtu, although it is in danger of being attacked from both sides on the battlefield of Anzhou, because Zhongtu Qi King was in Huaihuang and stared at the Lightning River, as long as the Ji Southeast Yaqi sent troops to Anzhou, he would also fall into the dilemma of fighting on both sides. Therefore, Yaqi did not dare to move, even if he knew that Fangcheng had fallen, he would even follow the Wulishui Biography.

When the news of Ah Hui being defeated, Yaqi did not dare to rashly enter Anzhou. Unless Yaqi received the news of affirmation, Zhongtu would not break up with the Turks for the time being, and would not send troops to Anzhou for the time being in the Great Wall. Zhongtu just wanted to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf and kill people with a knife, and just wanted to use the power of the White Wolf to curb and weaken the Turks. Then Yaqi's opponent was Bailang, Yaqi was confident enough to defeat the White Wolf, and Ashi Nadula would dare to attack. After all, the fisherman's profit was too tempting, and Ashi Nadula would not miss it.

The day before yesterday, Yaqi received an urgent letter. The urgent letter was sent by Bitler Ashnasmo and Shilifashi Shuhuxi from the palace of the Central Earth Emperor, and was delivered to the outside world with the help of the Central Earth Post Station system.

The two told Yaqi that they had not seen the Central Earth Emperor since this mission. Every day, only Su Wei and Feng Deyi had an unnecessary entanglement with them and deliberately delayed it. All signs prove that the Central Earth Emperor intended to give more time to the sword that entered Anzhou. As long as the sword defeated the Xi tribe, captured Anzhou, chaoticized the situation in the Northeast, and changed the confrontation between the north and the south, the Central Earth people seized the opportunity. Next, they would definitely use the chaos in the Northeast to restrain and consume the Turks, and strive for enough time for the recovery of China-Turkish national strength. In this way, China-Turkish will establish an advantage in the future war between the North and the South, which is very unfavorable to the desert.

In addition, Shi Shuhu and Hu Xi also used secret means to find important secrets from the mouths of some powerful people in the palace. The Middle Earth Emperor was actively promoting the center to make the decision to make the third eastern expedition to Goguryeo. Therefore, in the short term, Zhongtu will not only not break up with the Turks, but will try its best to maintain the currently stable north-south relationship. This is also the reason why the Middle Earth Emperor secretly supported the rebels from the Frontier to attack Anzhou. The purpose was to use Anzhou to attract and restrain the Turks and effectively alleviate the heavy pressure on the northern border towns. For this reason, the Middle Earth Emperor had made a decision and provided a certain amount of material support to the Middle Earth rebels attacking Anzhou, if necessary, it was impossible to send troops to support it.

After analyzing, deducing and weighing, Ashinasmo and Shishu Huxi finally concluded that the crisis must be stenosis at the beginning and the conspiracy of Middle-earth must be destroyed. The two suggested that Ashinasmo and Yaqi fight with Ahui fiercely at the moment when the sword was fighting fiercely at the Wulishui. Taking advantage of the favorable opportunity that the sword had not yet gained a foothold in Anzhou, they immediately sent troops to Anzhou to form a cross-strike with the Xi tribe, trapped the sword in the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy from both sides, defeated the sword, and killed the sword. Only in this way can the Turks maintain their advantages in the confrontation between the north and the south, and Ashinasmo and Shishu Huxi seized the initiative at the negotiating table.

This time, Asuna Duna did not hesitate. What he was most worried about before was the attitude of the Zhongtu official, which was that he was worried about sending troops to Anzhou in the Great Wall. Now, this concern was gone, and the time for the attack was up, the Turks finally showed their ferocious faces, opened their sharp minions, and were about to launch a fierce attack.
