Chapter 616 Do you have a good opinion on the current matter?
Of course, if you don’t run away, you won’t run away.
But this whole thing is becoming less optimistic every day.
Since Li Jing, the general of the Tang Dynasty, built a city in Mobei, apart from building a city on one side, the other side...
It is like following the Romans in the countryside, wandering around with a group of cavalry all day long.
Several times, Jieli Khan's men have sneaked down to the Yin Mountains to plunder nearby villages and rob merchants and travelers, but the recent situation has become increasingly pessimistic...
When they first ran on the Yinshan Mountains, Jieli Khan's army occasionally slipped down the mountain to clear grass and valleys. The time limit was at least seven or eight days - and then if it was longer, the herdsmen who had tipped off the information would have brought the Tang army over.
But as time goes on, this time limit... becomes shorter and shorter.
From seven or eight days, it gradually became about six days. Then it was four or five days, and finally it became more and more exaggerated.
They just need to bring their troops down the mountain,
Forget about wearing armor and going to the valley to beat grass, even if you just go up the mountain to find some firewood, you will be seen on the way.
Without thinking, it only took about two days to observe the Tang army passing nearby from a hidden place on the mountain.
This is undoubtedly the fault of these damn herdsmen nearby!
When this happens, whether it is Jieli Khan or several generals and colonels under his command, all we can say is...
No one wants things to turn out like this...
Life has to go on, right?
On this day, Jieli Khan ordered the entire army to camp directly on the spot.
Although Yi Lizhen and Yi Nan followed the instructions, they still feel...
It was too difficult to withstand it. We were already in short supply of food and supplies, and we were facing encirclement and suppression at any time. The entire army was in danger of being destroyed at any time.
Isn't it ridiculous to camp anywhere under such circumstances?
However, the two of them had finished reacting to Jieli Khan in person...
Jieli Khan closed his eyes leisurely and smiled slightly.
"Everyone...if we can survive by hiding in the mountains, why should we run out?"
…
Jieli Khan's rhetorical question immediately confused Yi Lizhen and Yi Nan.
Both of them couldn't help being stunned for a moment...
Damn, what Khan said makes sense...
Yes, hiding can be useful. How could everyone end up like this?
In Han Chinese terms, this is simply unbelievable.
But this doesn’t seem to be a reason to give up treatment...
The two struggled for a long time, still feeling that they should say something, but after thinking about it... they didn't know what to say.
While he was hemming and hawing, a middle-aged man next to Jieli Khan with an obvious Han hairstyle and scribe's clothes spoke calmly.
"Two generals, why are you so nervous?"
"Previously, our army was stationed outside Dingxiang City. Didn't the general also acquiesce?"
This person is the current prime minister, or military advisor, and deputy khan of Jieli Khan... Zheng Xuannian.
After all, he is a wise man.
After being reminded by Zheng Xuannian, Yi Lizhen and Yi Nan also remembered it.
The situation at that time was indeed that there was a pursuer behind me. Although I ran away for a while, the pursuer was finally missing, but...
After escaping, I looked at the place under my feet...
It is the former site of Dingxiang City that was originally conquered. This place sounds sad, but no one has time to feel sad.
With people and horses exhausted, the problem of how to set up camp... seems to be more serious than it is now.
At that time, Yi Lizhen and Yi Nan were both mentally and physically exhausted and acquiesced to Jieli Khan's decision to station outside Dingxiang City.
The two of them originally thought that they would be robbed at night...but surprisingly, nothing happened the next day.
"A desert is a desert after all. The vastness of this place is not much worse than the core area of Han Dynasty."
Zheng Xuannian said calmly, "To be honest, our ability to escape from the Tang army's tiger's mouth is basically based on luck. Not to mention that monster Li Sheng, he was caught by Li Jing... How can things here be good?
"
"So you all believe in immortality. As long as your luck is not too bad and it is not such a coincidence. There is no one living in the barren land. This is actually an advantage."
After Zheng Xuannian said these words, Yi Lizhen and Yi Nan nodded and finally calmed down.
But now it was Jieli Khan's turn to look worried.
"But how can this last forever... Military advisor, do you have any insight into what is going on right now?"
Jieli Khan looked at Zheng Xuannian with a worried face.
"Now we can't advance or retreat. Life or death depends on heaven. The Tang army is as ferocious as tigers. What should we do?"
…
This question is considered an ultimate question for the current Turkic remnants, up and down.
Now that the situation is really over, what should we do?
Yi Lizhen and Yi Nan came here specifically to meet the Khan. Although they said they were worried about the location of the camp, they came here specifically to meet with the Khan, but they were actually worried about this ultimate issue.
Not only Jieli Khan, Yi Lizhen and Yi Nan, but also the personal guards in Jieli Khan's tent, also looked at Zheng Xuannian with bitter looks on their faces.
Being stared at by so many eyes, Zheng Xuannian took a deep breath.
"The current plan... it is impossible to maintain the current plan by relying on ourselves to resist the Tang army. The generals are right to be worried."
"Now there is only one way left. Think about what our remnant army...has to offer that others don't have."
"Something that no one else has?"
Zheng Xuannian's question immediately stunned Jieli Khan, Yi Lizhen, and Yi Nan.
"No one else..."
"Our mere remnant army is now almost a candle in the wind and can be broken by a bullet... What else can it do that others don't have?"
Yi Nan couldn't help but look embarrassed. Although this was the truth, he said it...
It's no different from others, it's just as heart-wrenching.
If a remnant army has strengths that others don't have, how could it have gotten to this point? Let's just drive straight into Chang'an and be done with it.
Isn’t it impossible to do this? There is no other way!
However, when everyone looked troubled, Zheng Xuannian suddenly smiled.
"Have you forgotten something?"
"Although we are the defeated army, we are different from all the armies in the world. We are the only army that has fought against the Tang army!"
"Our biggest advantage is that we have experience! Even the experience of defeat is absolutely unparalleled by others!"
Zheng Xuannian suddenly threw out this point of view.
Immediately afterwards...
Yi Lizhen and Yi Nan were both startled, and Jieli Khan also fell into thinking.
Don't tell me this is really a strength...
However, when I think about it carefully, it seems wrong.
Now that our army has almost become an army of beggars, what's the use of having ten times and a hundred times more experience?
The Tang army fired a volley of grenades from a distance and threw them at the same time. Thousands of us had to pull the brakes immediately.
We are almost running out of food and grass, so this experience cannot be used as food.
but……
Just when Yi Lizhen and Yi Nan looked bitter, Jieli Khan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly raised his head.
