In the winter night, in the tent of the Turkic army, Tuli Khan drank a large mouthful of cows in his wine jar and drank half of the old wine in one breath, but suddenly stood up and threw the wine jar out. As a result, with a "bang~" sound, he broke on the ground, and the wine and broken pottery splashed everywhere.

"Khan, why bother to get angry about these trivial things? There is a saying among the Han people, "Little unbearable means a big plan." Now Khan is weak, so there is no need to take some small facts to heart." Seeing Tuli Khan angry, the others in the tent were so scared that they dared not let it go, but an old Turkic man sitting on Tuli Khan's right hand spoke out and persuaded him. This man was named Qi Heli, and he was once the guard beside Tuli Khan's father. Tuli Khan grew up with him since he was a child. The two had a deep relationship. At this time, only he dared to persuade him.

"It's too much to deceive people. I don't want to give it to a few hundred sheep. My own tribe is eating mutton, but our soldiers can't even drink mutton soup. Such people still want to let our soldiers work hard for him. It's simply..."

"Khan is careful!" Before Tuli Khan finished speaking, Qi Heli, the one below, interrupted him. Although Tuli's confidant was in the big tent, some words only need to be known in his heart, and it is really not appropriate to say them.

Tuli is not stupid either. In fact, he is only twenty years old this year, but sometimes he is very smart. He is inevitable that there are some impulses from young people. For example, today he asked his uncle Jie Li Khan for hundreds of sheep as military rations, because the tribes he brought were mostly small tribes, either poorer and richer, and they were unwilling to work hard. Therefore, Jie Li Khan should have part of the military rations, but Jie Li refused him, because the Turks went south and had always solved the military rations themselves. If the military rations were not enough, then Tuli and others would lead their troops to grab them.

Jie Li's answer seemed very reasonable and also very consistent with the tradition of the Turks. However, after hearing this, Tuli wanted to cut off his uncle with one knife. Because when he went south, Jie Li's army was always in front of him, and they snatched all the things he encountered. Moreover, the Han people were not stupid. They would also escape when they saw the Turks coming, so Tuli followed him and didn't get anything. Now he is blocked in Qingzhou. The people around Qingzhou either fled or hid in Qingzhou City, so he wanted to snatch it, but someone had to let him snatch it!

In fact, the above was just a fuse for Tuli's dissatisfaction with Jie Li. In fact, the two of them had a long history of grudges. Tuli's father was the Turkic Khan. Originally, Khan's position should have been his, but because he was less than ten years old when his father passed away, he could only continue with another uncle. As a result, this uncle was also a short-lived ghost and died a few years later. Tuli thought it would be his turn this time, but he didn't expect that Jie Li suddenly broke out and took away the Turkic Khan's position.

Jie Li has always been resentful about Jie Li's taking away the Turkic Khan. What made him even more hated was that after Jie Li got the throne of Khan, he pretended to be the Little Khan and let him take charge of some tribes in the eastern Turkic Khan. This action seemed to be very good to him, but in fact, the eastern Turkic Khan was full of thorns. He was either very dissatisfied with the rule of the Turkic, or he was so poor that he wanted to eat all day long.

Faced with this situation, Tuli was also extremely troubled. What's even more annoying is that Jie Li often caused trouble for him. For example, this time he went south, Jie Li strictly ordered him to lead his troops to follow him. For this reason, Tuli went all his subordinate tribes, either forcing or tempting. He finally made these tribes send troops, but now he didn't take advantage, but he paid a lot of casualties, and even insufficient military rations. If this continues, his subordinate tribes will rebel.

"Qi Heli, all tribes are asking me for food, but my good uncle is unwilling to give it to me. Is there any good way?" Tuli suddenly looked up and asked. Although Qi Heli did not have the courage of his youth, he became a respected wise man. Whenever Tuli was confused and helpless, he could give the right advice.

After hearing this, Qi Heli pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Khan, it is not difficult to solve this matter. We just need to use the threat of withdrawing troops. Jie Li Khan will definitely provide us with food, but in this way, the relationship between Khan and Jie Li Khan will be even worse!"

"I don't care about that much. I'll go to him again tomorrow. If he really doesn't give it to us, then we will retreat. I have traveled all the way here, but I haven't gotten any benefits. Now the tribes under my command have long been dissatisfied, and there will definitely be a lot of trouble after returning!" Tuli Khan waved his hand irritably. If it weren't for the lack of strength, he would have raised an army to resist. Unfortunately, reality made him have to hide this thought in his heart.

Tuli was in a bad mood, so after discussing the matter, he let Qi Heli and others leave. Then he sat there alone and drank, and finally got drunk. However, he had a beautiful dream that night. In the dream, he finally sat on the throne of the Turkic Khan, and then sent Jie Li to the desert in the northwest and could never return. The beauties in Jie Li's tent became his women, and they were so happy all day long.

However, just when Tuli was having a beautiful dream, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of killing outside. When he rubbed his eyes and sat up, he saw Qi Heli suddenly rushed in and shouting anxiously: "Khan is not good. The Tang army attacked from both front and back directions. Now not only the rear army is in chaos, but the front army is also in chaos. The situation is very critical!"

When Tuli heard the Tang army coming, he jumped up and then made great strides out of the camp. When he set up camp, he specially chose a high ground to make it easier for him to observe the overall situation. As soon as he left the camp, he saw the flames of the two armies in front and behind soaring into the sky, as if there were shouts of the Tang army everywhere.

"Tell me the order, and all the troops gather at my side!" Tuli was young, but he had been through the battlefield for a long time and immediately made the most correct judgment. It is dark now that the situation is not obvious, and the trends of the Tang army are unclear, so the most correct way is to gather all the troops, attack and retreat or defend. It is not too late to judge the form and make plans.

Qi Heli was also a veteran on the battlefield. He immediately sent someone to convey the order. In a short while, tens of thousands of troops belonging to Tuli began to gather. It was not until then that Tuli discovered something was wrong. He immediately said to Qi Heli next to him in confusion: "The troops sent by the Tang army to us seemed to be just harassing us and had no intention of attacking us. Instead, the Jieli camp opposite was their main attack direction?"

"That's true. The Tang army's troops are insufficient, so it is impossible to launch a full-scale attack on us, so they can only concentrate their troops to attack a little, so that they can achieve greater results. Now it seems that the Tang army has chosen the direction of the main attack on Jie Li Khan." Qi Heli also showed a glad expression at this time. If the Tang army was mainly attacking them, with their current situation, the entire army would have collapsed long ago, and it would definitely cause the collapse of the entire Turkic army. Even if Tuli could escape, he would definitely face Jie Li's question in the future.

"Haha, very good. Pass my order and the whole army retreats. In such a situation where the enemy is unknown, preserving strength is the first priority!" Tuli suddenly smiled coldly and ordered. There is a saying by the Han people, "You are the first day of the lunar month, I am the fifteenth day." Since Jie Li tried every means to make things difficult for him, don't blame yourself for stuttering him. Anyway, there was a Tang army on his side, and the enemy situation was unknown. No one could say anything if he retreated and protected himself.

"Khan, doing this may cause dissatisfaction from Jie Li Khan!" At this time, Qi Heli heard Tuli's order and said a little worried. He was still relatively rational. After all, Jie Li is now a Khan of the Turkic Khan, and Tuli's strength is not enough. Such an anger at Jie Li was really inappropriate.

"Qi Heli, Jie Li has long been unable to tolerate me. Since that's the case, why do I still have to go to flatter him like a dog? And if he wants to ask me for a crime, he must at least find a way to escape from the front and rear attacks of the Tang army!" Tuli was young and energetic. He finally found such a good opportunity to retaliate against Jie Li, so he naturally could not let him go.

Seeing Tuli not listening, Qi Heli had no choice but to help him command the army to retreat. The harassing Tang army did not stop them and allowed them to retreat outside the battlefield.

In contrast, Jie Li's army was attacked by the Tang army fiercely. They have been attacking the city for a while. The Tang army is on the defensive position, so Jie Li never expected that the Tang army would take the initiative to attack, and the defense in the camp was also very relaxed.

In addition, Li Shimin's Tiance Army and Princess Pingyang's Detachment Army were all elites among the elites. With the joint efforts of the two armies, they quickly entered Jie Li's central army camp and then set fires everywhere, which caused chaos in the Turkic army. Jie Li tried hard to assemble the army at the beginning, and wanted to block the charge of the Tang army, but in the end he only gathered a few thousand cavalry, while the rest of the people were only concerned about escaping. This made him sigh helplessly, and finally he could only order the entire army to retreat.

That night, fires surged into the sky in the Turkic camp outside the city of Qingzhou, and countless Turkic people died under the charge of the Tang army. Li Xiu stood at the top of the city and watched the war outside the city. The blood in his heart seemed to be ignited by the war outside the city. He wished he could ride out of the city and kill the enemy, but he also knew that for a scholar who could not carry his hands and shoulders, if he really rode out of the city, he would probably have to deliver vegetables to others. Any Turkic person might kill him, so he still did not cause trouble for Li Shimin.
