Half-cooked beef was placed in front of Xue Yuanjing and Chu Suiliang. The Turkic soldiers snorted and turned around to leave the cage.
Inside the cage, Xue Yuanjing and Chu Suiliang looked at each other.
After a while, Chu Suiliang reached out and picked up a piece of beef, took a bite, and complained: "Turkic people are not afraid of getting upset after eating such half-cooked food."
Xue Yuanjing also picked up a piece and said with a smile: "According to the king, if you eat it without cleansing, you won't get sick. When a person gets used to something, his stomach will also get used to it. Perhaps it is because the Turks drink blood while eating hair, they
They are just barbarians and lowly people."
Bang!
The Turkic soldier guarding them had his feet on the cage and was chattering in Turkic language.
"What did he say?" Chu Suiliang asked.
"How do I know?" Xue Yuanjing shrugged.
The translator was not locked up with them, so he could not understand Turkic language.
While biting into the beef, Chu Suiliang asked in a low voice: "Aren't you worried now?"
“What are you worried about?”
The situation is over.”
"Can you guess this?" Chu Suiliang was a little confused.
Xue Yuanjing said: "So, I guessed it."
Chu Suiliang: "..."
Just as Xue Yuanjing guessed, it only took Jie Li five days to know the specific situation of the grassland.
To sum up, Shibobi has already returned to the grassland!
"Ah!" Jie Li was furious, slashing wildly with the Golden Wolf Sword, and the bloodshot blood on his face was clearly visible.
He sacrificed many Turkic warriors in order to invade the south, and finally killed Li Shimin, but he never thought that one day he would be dragged away by his own people!
He didn't dare to gamble.
After fighting fiercely with the Tang army in the past few days, he knew very well that it was not impossible to defeat the Tang army, but he would pay a heavy price.
And once his strength is greatly reduced, Shi Bobi may take the opportunity to raise troops to seize power and challenge his throne!
"Damn you bastard, I'm going to tear him apart!"
Jieli roared wildly.
He had reason to be furious. Since this war has been going on, some people within the Turks have already begun to think about retreating. They finally saw hope of victory, but it is about to be shattered.
Who else could stand it?
Jieli could not imagine how the leaders of the tribes under his command would resent him once he returned to the grassland!
After nearly ten months of fierce fighting, nothing was gained, but a large number of soldiers and horses were lost, and all the food and grass were eaten up.
What's even more frightening is that the winter months are approaching. How will the Turks survive the severe cold of winter?
Originally, Jieli planned to capture Hedong Road and lead the Turks to spend the winter on Hedong Road. In this way, they could grab food and have a place to rest.
But now, it doesn't work anymore.
If he continues the bloody battle with the Tang army, once Shibobi sneaks into the grassland base camp from behind, even if he takes Hedong Road, he will not be able to go back.
What's even more frightening is that if Shi Bobi really joins forces with Li Tang, he will be besieged by both sides!
But then again, if he were to retreat like this, the various tribes under the Turks would definitely have objections to him, and there would inevitably be another struggle.
Almost in an instant, Jieli's situation changed drastically.
"What do you think we should do?" Jie Li looked at his confidants.
Kang Sumi hesitated and said: "Khan, maybe Shibo Bi doesn't dare to take advantage of the fire to rob."
Snap!
Jieli slapped Kang Sumi unconscious with a backhand slap.
"shit!"
He wouldn't dare to risk his hometown on Shi Bo Bi's character.
Besides, he knew that Shi Bobi was ambitious.
Ashina Simo thought for a while and suggested: "Khan, withdraw your troops."
Hearing this, Jieli stared at him fiercely.
Ashina Simo was not afraid, but explained: "Khan, keep fighting, the Tang army will not take a step back. Li Shimin died in our hands, and there is no way the Tang army will let us go. If we and the Tang army both lose, by then
Shibo Bi takes the opportunity to attack us, and everything will be irreversible by then.
How about we return to the grassland first, defeat Shibo Bi, and distribute his tribe to Yi Nan and others. In this way, the Khan does not have to worry about dissatisfaction among the people within the army, and at the same time, the entire responsibility for this defeat can be put on Shi Bao.
苾.
Because, if Shi Bobi hadn't had ulterior motives, we wouldn't have withdrawn our troops."
Zhi lost his thoughts and asked: "If Shi Bobi really has contact with Li Tang, then the Tang army will definitely not let us go."
Ashina Simo shook his head and said: "No, if the detailed work inside the Tang Army can still be used, then we still have a chance to leave."
Hearing this, Jieli narrowed his eyes slightly.
He almost forgot that the purpose of Liu Wenjing's cooperation with him was to eradicate King Li Shimin of Qin. If he withdrew his troops at this time, Liu Wenjing might not pursue him.
Ashina Simo said: "Khan, we have suffered heavy losses, and the Tang army has also suffered heavy losses. Li Shimin has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. They are dead and wounded. Li Tang has been seriously injured. If we withdraw our troops,
, Tang Jun will never pursue him.
In other words, this time the Tang Army sent envoys to sow discord with the purpose of hoping that we would retreat. If the Tang Army really has contact with Shibobi, then what the Tang Army should do now is to do its best to hold us back until Shibobi
Go south."
Jie Li nodded in agreement, "It makes sense, Simo, go on."
Ashina Simo said: "Khan, we might as well try to see the movements of the Tang army. Let some of the troops retreat first and see how the Tang army reacts."
Jieli thought for a while and said unwillingly: "If we leave like this, who will compensate for the losses of the Turkic warriors?"
Ashina Simo said: "Khan, now is not the time to worry about these things. If you don't go back to deal with Shibabi, Khan will not be able to go south wholeheartedly. If you can annihilate Shibabi's tribe this time, then the next time Khan
If we attack Li Tang again, we will no longer have any constraints."
Jieli frowned and thought hard, but did not answer.
"Let me think about it again."
Li Zhiyun soon learned the news that Xue Yuanjing, Chu Suiliang and others went on a mission to the Turks and were imprisoned.
To be honest, he regretted that he had raised him.
"It seems that our strategy has worked. In the past few days, the Turkic soldiers and horses have not come to challenge again, which shows that Jieli is worried about the situation in the grassland." Xue Shou said.
Li Zhiyun stood with his hands behind his back and said: "Even so, Yuan Jing and Chu Suiliang are still in Jie Li's hands."
Xue Shou pursed his lips and said nothing.
Li Jiancheng comforted him and said, "Zhiyun, you don't have to worry too much. Even though Jieli is tyrannical and unethical, he can't do anything to the envoys."
Li Zhiyun rolled his eyes and talked nonsense. The people who are trapped in the enemy camp now have nothing to do with you. Of course you can say that.
"I'm still a little worried."
At this moment, the scout reported.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and the two envoys are back."
"Okay!" Li Zhiyun was overjoyed and quickly walked out to greet him.
After receiving Xue Yuanjing and Chu Suiliang, naturally a few pleasantries were inevitable.
Finally, Xue Yuanjing said: "Jie Li is willing to negotiate for peace, but he said that he only believes in Liu Wenjing, and he wants Mr. Liu to go to Turks for peace talks."
As he spoke, everyone's eyes focused on Liu Wenjing's face.
Liu Wenjing secretly cursed Jie Li, a bastard, for betraying him.
Li Jiancheng said calmly: "This Jieli is very cautious. It seems that he is more familiar with Liu Gong because he has been on a mission to the Turks."
A simple sentence explains why Xie Li has identified Liu Wenjing.
