Chapter forty-six The twists and turns

The biting cold wind whistled on the northern grassland in the early morning, and there was a sadness in the Tang army camp, "Dingfang, is Lingwu still unwilling to eat?" Li Jing asked,

"Yes, the general's incident hit him too hard," Su Dingfang said,

"I really underestimated Valeri before. Have the Valeri army found it now?" Li Jing asked,

"Not yet," Su Dingfang said,

"Report that General Chai's people have come, saying that there is an emergency military information report to the general," the guard came in and said,

"Let him in," Li Jing said,

"Report, General, our army met the Turks on the banks of Hunhe River and fought with them. I want to ask whether the general will pursue," the soldier said,

"Chai Shao fought with the Turks," Li Jing asked,

"Yes, general," the soldier replied,

"How is the outcome?" Li Jing asked,

"The Turks seemed unwilling to get involved with our army, so they ran away in a hurry," said the soldier.

"Which direction did the Turks go?" Li Jing asked,

"Towards Yinshan," the soldier said,

"Yinshan, please go down first," Li Jing said, and when he saw the soldier retreat, he suddenly returned: "General, General Chai asked me to hand over this letter to you," the soldier said,

"Letter, what's the letter?" When Li Jing took the letter and read it, he heard Li Jing laughing out loud: "This Fang Jun is such a lucky star." Then he heard Su Dingfang ask, "What's wrong with the general?"

"Come to Dingfang, please take a look." Li Jing said and handed the letter to Su Dingfang.

"Ah, so that's how it is. Wouldn't Ling Wu be sad for so long?" Su Dingfang said,

"Yes, but why did Valry hurriedly take Yang Zhengdao to Yinshan?" Li Jing couldn't help but mutter to himself,

"Dingfang, just take this letter and let Lingwu go and see it, don't let him think about it," Li Jing said,

"It's the general," Su Dingfang said, and saw Chai Lingwu still staring in the tent, and suddenly called the door of the tent. "Lingwu is still feeling guilty about what happened yesterday," Su Dingfang said,

Then Chai Lingwu didn't say anything, "I haven't spoken yet, look at this letter Fang Jun wrote to the general. Look at what happened yesterday. There were no dead people in the city yesterday." Su Dingfang said,

"What did you say?" Chai Lingwu asked in a hoarse voice.

"I'm willing to talk, this is not, you can see," Su Dingfang said. Before he finished speaking, he saw Chai Lingwu snatch it and looked at it.

"I said yesterday when you said Valeri wanted to slaughter Dingxiang, why did we feel a little strange when we arrived? There was no smell of blood in the air. It turned out that it was because there were no dead people at all, and they were all taken away by Valeri," Su Dingfang said.

"Yeah, yeah," Chai Lingwu nodded and replied,

"But Fang Jun clearly told me that Valry wanted to massacre the city, but why did he give up in the end?" Chai Lingwu asked,

"I don't know this either. I guess only Fang Jun knows it." Su Dingfang couldn't help but sigh,

"Is that true? This letter was not deliberately forged by you to deceive me, right?" Chai Lingwu couldn't help asking.

"Can't you tell who wrote this word? Fang Jun is the best thing about you," Su Dingfang said.

"But this word was not written by Yi Ai," Chai Lingwu said.

"ah……

In an unknown area, I saw many Turkic cavalry mixed with Han people resting beside a water source, "Li Jun, why do you think you, Han people, understand me more than Turks?" I heard Valli ask,

"Khan, because of your ambitions, no one understands it," said Valli.

"But you are still too soft-hearted. If it weren't for our army," Valli said.

"Khan, isn't it good for us to do this? Think about it, if we killed the old, weak, women and children in Dingxiang, will the Dingxiang youth who are following us still work hard for us? It would be fine if they don't make trouble later. Besides, if we have all these people coming to work hard for us, we have another help," Fang Jun said.

"If they dare to make trouble, I will kill them all. I am the great khan of the Turks, how could I be afraid of these Sui dynasties?" As soon as Valli said,

"The Khan must not be afraid of them, but because of them, the Khan lost the warriors of the Turks, it would be more than worth it," Fang Jun said earnestly.

"Okay, but how do you know that Xue Yantuo will attack my rear?" asked Valli,

"Khan, think about who is the most profitable now when we go to war with the Tang Dynasty?" Fang Jun asked,

"You mean Xue Yantuo," asked Valli,

"Xueyantuo is a Tieler. Tieler has rebelled, and Xueyantuo even rebelled against the Western Turks and Khan. Now the Tang Dynasty launched a war against the Khan, and Xueyantuo was even more eager to try. Think about it, if the Khan was defeated by the Tang army, who would the vast land belong to? How many of the powers of Xueyantuo can compare with this money land? And Xueyantuo has the support of the Tang Dynasty, so Xueyantuo will definitely attack the Khan," Fang Jun said.

"Yes, but now the Tang Dynasty is pressing step by step, what should I do?" asked Valli,

"Khan, the best way now is to ask for peace with Tang Jun first, so that I can free up time to deal with Xue Yantuo," said Fang Jun.

"The military advisor also said to me, but I..." Valli said,

"Khan, this is not a time to act voluntarily. Doesn't Khan want to restore the glory of the Turks before?" Fang Jun asked,

"Oh, let me think about it," said Valli,

"Yes, khan," Fang Jun said,

"Li Jun, I didn't expect that we could discuss it so freely after we met for a day. In the words of you Chinese, it would be... very late or something," said Valli.

"The Khan wants to say that we should meet too late," Fang Jun said,

"Yes, yes, but what Ben Khan didn't expect was that you could actually let Ben Khan leave with these Han people. It was your sincerity and strategy that moved me. If the King of Sui had not recommended you to Ben Khan, Ben Khan would not have known that he could see things so thoroughly like a military advisor," said Valli.

"It's still the Khan's wise and powerful division of the Divine Khan, who said it right and who said it wrong," Fang Jun said.

"But how do you know that Ben Khan doesn't want to kill those people?" asked Valli,

"Khan, now the Tang army is pressing forward step by step. If the Khan kills those people, it will take a lot of time. If it arouses the fierce resistance of the people in the city, it will delay the Khan's time. And the Khan still needs the Khan now. I think the Khan won't kill them because of his momentary intent," Fang Jun said.

"You said it right. If it weren't for Ben Khan's most needed time, but when he saw... forget it, he wouldn't say it." Seeing that Valli wanted to speak but stopped, Fang Jun couldn't help but wonder. Is there any hidden truth in this?

"Okay, let's not talk about it, wait until the military advisor comes back, I will introduce him to you, and you will definitely become good friends," said Valli.

"Yes, I have admired the military advisor's name for a long time and have never been able to see him. It would be a great honor to be recommended by Khan," said Fang Jun.

"Okay, we're going to set off," said Valli.

"Yes, khan," Fang Jun said,

"Mr. Li, where do you think we should go now?" asked Valli,
