"Brother He Li's words make sense!"
In the tent of Qigi Tribe, after Qigi Heli finished speaking, everyone was silent for a moment. Then, Yi Nan agreed, "Tuli has always been cunning. I don't believe that he won't have a backup plan after spreading this rumor! In the upcoming battle between our tribe's warriors and the Tuli Tribe, we only need to use eighty percent of our strength. However, we can't be too obvious. Otherwise, Ashina She will definitely report this to the Great Khan!
Also, in order to show our 'sincerity' to the Great Khan, I suggest that all of you immediately send reinforcements to the frontline after you return to make up for the warriors lost in the previous battles! This way, even if we fail to take down the Tuli Tribe in two days, I believe that the Great Khan won't be too harsh on us! "
In just a few words, Qiguan, He Li, and Yi Nan had already formulated the 'battle strategy' for the Tiele tribes. After listening to it, no one had any objections. Of course, the most important thing was that this' battle strategy 'was only beneficial to them. Thus, the other leaders all clasped their fists in agreement.
"Good idea! Let's do it! "
"After I return to the tribe, I'll send someone to instruct the warriors at the frontline to secretly go easy on the Tuli Tribe in the upcoming battles!"
"After I return, I'll immediately send two thousand warriors to the frontline to show our sincerity to the Great Khan!"
"After I return to the tribe, I'll send three thousand warriors to the frontline as reinforcements …"
Seeing this, Qigi Heli couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. After everyone finished speaking, Qigi Heli gestured with his hand and said, "Since that's the case, it's getting late. Everyone, please return to the tribe and prepare! Otherwise, the Great Khan will definitely be suspicious if you stay here for too long! "
"Alright! Chief Qigi, farewell! "
"Farewell!"
The chiefs of the various tribes bid farewell and left.
Yi Nan purposely stayed at the back. While everyone was leaving, he moved closer to Qigi Heli and asked softly, "Haha! Brother Qihui, do you know what Tuli's trump card is? "
Qiju Heli narrowed his eyes and did not answer immediately. Even though he and the barbarian man usually 'looked out for each other' in front of Xieli and acted like good friends, Qiju Heli had never expected the barbarian man to treat him as a good friend whom he could confide in. The two of them had interacted for such a long time, Qiju Heli knew that the barbarian man was very ambitious. He only wanted to ensure the safety of his tribe, but the barbarian man was the same as Xieli.
Therefore, Qi Ni He Li had always maintained a certain level of vigilance towards Yi Nan!
At this time, he pondered for a moment and said to the barbarian, "Brother, you must be joking! In terms of the ability to inquire about information, my Qiyan Tribe is far inferior to your Huihe Tribe. If you don't know something, how can I know ~? "
The barbarian man pointed at Qiya He Li and said with a faint smile, "Heh! Brother Qihui, your words are too hypocritical. Why do you sound like the people of the Central Plains? In fact, you and I both know that Tuli may have a trump card. Although some of my Huihe Tribe warriors are good at spying, the people who are now stationed at the southernmost part of Tuli's Yatong are your Qiyan Tribe people. In recent days, whether Tuli's people have secretly gone south to Tang, you know it better than me! "
Hearing this, Qiju Heli's heart moved. He was not angry because of the barbarian man's words, but because the barbarian man's words made him think of something. Since he previously thought that Tuli's trump card was to ask for reinforcements from Tang, then in recent days, Tuli's people would definitely think of ways to go south. He could send people to investigate from this direction!
"… I haven't received any such news in recent days. If I did, I would definitely send people to inform Brother Yi Nan!"
These thoughts only flashed through Qiju Heli's mind. After he recovered, he said to the barbarian man with a normal expression.
"Good! Then I'll wait for your good news, brother! "
The barbarian man cupped his fists, laughed, and left.
These two clearly had a tacit understanding in their hearts. They both thought that Tuli's next move after releasing the rumor was to ask for reinforcements from Tang, imitating the Khitan Tribe's chief and leading his tribe to surrender to Tang. But these two people neglected one thing. The rumor released by Tuli was not a rumor. At the end of the seventh month, it was possible that frost would fall from the sky!
Moreover, although Tuli's people had not broken through the encirclement and went south to ask for reinforcements, Tang's emissaries had already secretly sneaked into the prairie!
… … …
"Great Khan! This subordinate has already ordered people to spread the rumor. Now, basically everyone in the prairie knows about it! This subordinate has bribed several Huihe soldiers. According to them, at noon, the Great Khan has summoned the ten tribe leaders to the Imperial Court for a meeting. It seems that the Great Khan should have also noticed this rumor! "
In Tuli's Yatong, Ni Shituo respectfully cupped his fists and said to Tuli.
Hearing this, Tuli's face did not show any joy. His eyes were lifeless as he looked at the sword hanging on the weapon rack next to him. He expressionlessly said, "Good! General Ni Shituo has worked hard! "
Ni Shituo looked at Tuli's face and asked tentatively, "Does the Great Khan have any hidden worries?"
Tuli finally turned his head and looked at Ni Shituo. He nodded and said, "If this Khan's guess is correct, Xieli will certainly be vigilant against this Khan when he hears this rumor. Maybe he will even send reinforcements here! Otherwise, he wouldn't have summoned the ten tribe leaders to the Imperial Court for a meeting! Our days will be difficult from now on. I'm afraid there will be several fierce battles. I don't know if the officers and soldiers can still hold on! "
After listening to Tuli's narration, Ni Shituo came to a sudden understanding, and he finally understood the danger at hand. He couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and he couldn't help but say, "In this way, aren't we being tricked by the Great Tang's Duke Ju?"
Tuli shook his head and said, "That's not entirely true! Right now, we are trapped in a desperate situation. If we want to break out of the encirclement, in the words of the people of the Central Plains, it is no different from pulling chestnuts out of the fire. This rumor will undoubtedly bring us danger. Danger and opportunity coexist. If the rumor is true, then it will become our chance to escape! "
Speaking to this point, Tuli suddenly remembered something. He paused and asked, "Oh, right! That Tang Jian, since yesterday, has he made any unusual movements? "
It would have been better if he didn't mention this. Now that he did, Ni Shituo was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. "Humph! This guy is quite honest. He and his men have been staying in the camp all day long. They haven't gone anywhere. Their days can be said to be very comfortable! Our officers and soldiers are fighting hard outside. He, on the other hand, is sitting comfortably in the camp drinking tea and playing chess. He even drank the divine tea he brought from the Central Plains for you, Khan! "
"What? There's such a thing? "
Hearing this, Tuli's eyes widened. But after thinking about it, a trace of a smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "Forget it, forget it! Let's ignore him for now! This Khan didn't expect this Tang Jian to be so courageous. He is in this Khan's camp, yet he is still so calm! But the calmer he is, the more confident he is in his heart. Then, our plan's success rate will be higher! "
