After hearing Kang Shuoli's detailed report on the entire White Wolf Sage battlefield, Shibi Khan was full of confidence in the successful breakthrough of the White Wolf Sage.

At present, he has suffered a great loss, and the results he has achieved can no longer offset the huge manpower, material and financial resources that Yakuen has invested in this battle. If the losses further increase, it will mean that the battle has been defeated, and the military defeat will trigger an unprecedented political crisis. Shibi Khan has no choice but to break through with thunder.

Shibi Khan then summoned the commanders of the army overnight to deploy attack strategies. At the same time, he ordered the marching of the days and the exhausted soldiers to eat and drink, and rest for a night to recover their strength. That night, he sent envoys to cross mountains and ridges to goosemao water, found Shiliver's ashina Dusu, and ordered him to continue attacking on the battlefield of the northern line of the White Wolf Pass to cooperate with the fierce offensive launched by the main army on the southern line, and strive to defeat with one blow and win in one battle.

At the same time, on a mountain adjacent to the Sanggan River southeast of Bailang Pass, General Li Jing of Right Wugu, General Jialan of Wu Ben Lang, Zhao Shizhu and General Feng Yi of Wuya Lang, and General Feng Yi of Wuya Lang met urgently to discuss countermeasures.

This mountain and its surrounding areas are temporarily opened up to transport supplies to various battlefields. At this moment, the military supplies in the camp are piled up like mountains, and teams of civilians are struggling to run on various transportation lines. In the other direction, the materials transported from Anyang Town are constantly entering here.

Jialan and Feng Yi accompanied Li Jing and Zhao Shizhu to inspect the baggage camp, checked the amount of stockpiled various materials, comforted the civilians in the camp, and went to comfort the wounded. They did not sit down and rest until they entered dusk. After a simple meal, they began to discuss military information.

Li Jing's expression was quite serious, especially when he noticed that Jia Lan changed into a new Rong robe after dinner. He suddenly became stern, "I heard that the general would come to the front line to fight bloodyly every day, and even set a goal of beheading a hundred levels every day. Is it true?"

Galan was embarrassed and speechless.

"The general should indeed lead the way and fight bloody battles to inspire morale, but has the general done too much?" Li Jing asked without hesitation, "Have you ever thought about how the situation will change if you die on the battlefield?"

Zhao Shizhu shook his hand at the old coach and signaled that the old coach should stop. After all, in name, Jialan was also the supreme commander on the battlefield of Bailangsai. As an elder, the old coach was also a respected senior. He had to give others some face in terms of emotion and reason.

The old coach shook his head in dissatisfaction. He relieved his breath and asked, "Is it injured? Is it serious?"

"Slight injuries to the skin and flesh are fine." Galan bowed slightly and thanked him.

"Don't be so arrogant and willful anymore." The old coach reminded, "From tomorrow, every day is a fierce battle. Whether you can hold on to the end lies in command in front of the battlefield. As the supreme commander on the battlefield, the general is the confidence of the soldiers of the three armies. The general cannot fall!"

Galan was taught respectfully.

"The main army of Beilu has entered the battlefield of Bailang Pass and has lined up on the front line of Shenwuchuan and Jinshatan." The old coach immediately went straight to the point. "According to scouts, Shibi Khan and his tent are in this army, so it is certain that the danger of Yanmen has been resolved, and the Beilu army on the battlefield of Yanmen will all arrive at Bailang Pass in the next two days. More than 200,000 or even more Beilu Zhengxian will launch a fierce attack on Bailang Pass. The situation is extremely unfavorable to us."

"Of course, this is the worst prediction." The old coach frowned and continued, "If the Northern Lu evacuated Yanmen because the reinforcements of the two capitals had to retreat because they had to retreat when they reached the Yanmen battlefield, then there was an optimistic prediction, that is, His Majesty and the reinforcements of the two capitals were chasing each other, and we formed an encirclement of the Northern Lu. There were blocking in front of the Northern Lu, and there were pursuers behind them, and they were attacked from both sides. This would help us continue to defend the White Wolf Pass."

"But what is disturbing is that have the reinforcements of the two capitals arrived? Even if they arrive, how many troops have come? On the decisive battlefield, have our troops already formed an absolute advantage?"

The old coach slowly swept across the faces of everyone and asked the last question, "If the two sides have equal strength and are evenly matched, the result of the decisive battle is nothing more than a loss-win situation, then what is the significance of this decisive battle? If the purpose of the emperor and the central government are to win peace between the north and the south, then when should this decisive battle end?"

In fact, this is the final stage of the decisive battle. What tactics should the imperial army adopt? Should we siege but not attack, force the Northern Lu to sign a alliance under the city, or siege and annihilate it, and both sides will suffer a defeat?

After Li Jing arrived at the White Wolf Pass and entered the Shenwuchuan battlefield, he warned Galan, but Galan carefully avoided it and did not give a reply. Today, the battle situation entered the final stage. Li Jing spoke first and questioned it sharply. Galan could no longer avoid it, and had to give an answer and make a decision.

When the emperor was drafting the strategy of the decisive battle in the north and south, he must have his strategic purpose. As one of the executors of the decisive battle, Galan was the supreme commander of the decisive battle battlefield. He must have a clear understanding of this strategic purpose. Of course, he knew what tactics should be adopted in the final stage of the decisive battle under the current situation. Different tactics, different offensive and defensive strategies, and different battle results. This is directly related to the outcome of the decisive battle and the life and death of thousands of soldiers.

Galan still could not give a reply. First, he did not know whether the emperor would come to chase after the emperor, because in the history he remembered, the emperor did not personally lead the army to hunt down. Second, he did not know whether the reinforcements of the two capitals, as well as the army around the emperor after Yanmen rescued the siege, including the Imperial Guards, the Daibei Army, the Taiyuan Army and other exhausted troops would follow the emperor's orders and go north quickly as soon as possible, followed the Northern Army and chased after the Northern Barbarians.

However, one thing is certain, that is, the imperial army on the battlefield of Yanmen must go north, and after the Beilu retreat, it must recover the lost territory of Daibei, recover the Great Wall, and advance to the foot of Yinshan Mountain. While maintaining the border line designated by the north and south, it will guard the border and guard the northern border to ensure the safety of Central China.

In history, this decisive battle ended with the failure of the empire, but the Northern Husbands suffered a lot of losses. Later, there were constant internal crises, and three Khans were replaced in a short period of time. At that time, it was the moment when the empire collapsed and the chaos in Central Earth. A few years later, when Li Tang unified Central Earth, the Northern Husbands once again went south to invade and entered Guanzhong. The troops arrived in Chang'an, which brought an unprecedented crisis to Li Tang and Central Earth, which had just escaped from the darkness.

This decisive battle and the unprecedented crisis in the future were eleven years apart. In other words, this decisive battle in history, after the emperor and the imperial northern army fought at all costs, only won Middle-earth a decade of stability in the north and south.

Ten years? Galan believes that it is not enough. Whether Middle-earth will continue to collapse along the inherent historical trajectory or create a new history when we face the opportunity of change after this decisive battle, Galan believes that it is necessary to win at least a whole generation of people, that is, twenty or even thirty years, in the confrontation between the north and the south. Only in this way can we ensure the stability of the northern border of Middle-earth and give Middle-earth sufficient time for nirvana and rebirth.

Based on this, Galan believed that as long as I defended the White Wolf Pass and firmly blocked the access of the Northern Gate, when the emperor received this news, based on the considerations of the imperial defense and diplomatic strategy, and the emperor's consideration of the future of the Empire, the emperor would once again muster up the courage to command all the imperial troops on the Yanmen battlefield to attack the White Wolf Pass, complete the encirclement of the Northern Gate, and carry out this decisive battle between the North and the South to the end. Even if both of them were burned, even if both were injured, they would be spared.

I may not be able to save the crumbling empire, nor the innocent and weak people of Middle-earth. But now, I have enough strength to change the fate of the Northern Xinjiang and change the future of the Northern Xinjiang. As long as I give the Northern Gate a heavy and fatal blow to the Northern Gate in this decisive battle, I can at least win the stability of the Northern Gate for a whole generation. The long-term stability of the Northern Gate will surely bring immeasurable and significant impact on the fate of Middle-earth and even the Empire. There is no doubt that I firmly believe that I will pay all the price for this.

"The significance of this decisive battle is to give the empire that is in trouble and external difficulties valuable time to breathe, and to give the northern border of Central China and Earth to a whole generation of rest and recuperation."

Galan finally answered with a firm attitude.

"Western expedition, eastern expedition, and today's decisive battle between the north and the south, the emperor and the central government devoted all their national strength to complete the empire's active offensive strategy in national defense and diplomacy, alleviating the increasingly serious crisis imposed by the external enemy on Central China." Galan continued, "In order to avoid the empire's internal and external difficulties and being attacked and then stabilized the country, use attack instead of defense, and use active offense instead of passive defense. Although this strategy exhausted the national strength, intensified domestic conflicts, and turbulent the domestic situation, after the end of this decisive battle, the emperor and the central government could concentrate all their strength to resolve the domestic crisis. The long-term stability of the three borders in the east, west and north will lead to a sharp reduction in national defense expenditure, which greatly helps the rapid recovery of national strength. If the national strength is restored, the emperor and the central government can't solve the domestic crisis?"

Li Jing fell silent. He had already estimated this result, but he did not expect that the explanation and reasons given by Galan made him unable to refute.

The emperor and the central government have a good wish and a good starting point, but they are too anxious and the strategy is full of risks. The quick success and immediate benefits in the strategy will inevitably bring a series of disadvantages. When these disadvantages gradually amplify, a crisis will arise. Should the emperor and the central government really have the ability, time, opportunity, and strategy to solve these spreading and expanding crises?

"Our strategy of persistence is as always." Galan made the final decision, "Active defense and defend the White Wolf Stop to the death. Even if the last person fights, he will never retreat!"
