"Reporting to the Great Khan, news has just come from the Dark section. The Tiele Ten Tribes have decided to rebel and ordered the withdrawal of the three hundred thousand troops surrounding Tuli's remaining forces. Tuli will definitely use this opportunity to escape the grasslands and seek refuge with the Great Tang!"
Grasslands, Royal Court. The vice commander of the Wolf Guard, Wang Yudong. Oh, no, Wang Yudong should be considered the official commander of the Wolf Guard now. He quickly walked into the tent and bowed slightly towards Xieli who was seated at the head of the table.
Ever since the moment Xieli gave up on rescuing Zhao Deyan who was trapped in Taiyuan, Wang Yudong had become the true boss of the Wolf Guards. Although Xieli kept saying that he was only letting Wang Yudong temporarily assume the position of Guard Master of the Wolf Guards, and that he would return the position of Guard Master to Zhao Deyan after rescuing him, anyone with a discerning eye knew that Zhao Deyan would probably never return. Because the situation of the grasslands was about to become chaotic, Xieli did not have any extra troops to go rescue Zhao Deyan!
"What? The Tiele Ten Tribes have already rebelled and withdrawn all their troops? "
Hearing this, Xieli's right hand holding the teacup shook violently. The tea in the teacup was the extremely rare Divine Tea from the Great Tang, which Xieli's subordinates had plundered with great difficulty. At this moment, Xieli's hand shook and a lot of tea spilled out of the teacup. If it were in the past, Xieli would definitely feel some heartache, but at this moment, Xieli no longer had the mind to care about this. He put down the teacup and stood up with an ugly expression.
"I didn't expect these people to act so quickly … It must be that bastard Yi Nan. This morning, he gathered the chiefs of the Tiele Tribes for a meeting in the Xue Yantuo Tribe. He must have wanted to unite the Tiele Tribes to rebel against this Khan. But this Khan didn't expect these people to all agree to unite with Yi Nan and act so quickly …"
Wang Yudong said with a worried expression, "Khan, what should we do now? The Tiele Ten Tribes have millions of troops. If they unite, I'm afraid … "
At this point, Wang Yudong tactfully did not continue, but the meaning he wanted to express could be understood by anyone.
But Xieli smiled coldly and said with a face full of disdain, "Hmph! They're just a few restless grasshoppers. If they want to jump, they'll have to ask this Khan for permission! A mere Tiele Ten Tribes? This Khan has never put them in his eyes! "
Hearing this, Wang Yudong's worried face gradually relaxed. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked tentatively, "Then tonight's banquet …"
In the morning, when he found out that Yi Nan had secretly gathered all the Tiele tribe leaders to discuss matters in Xue Yantuo tribe, Xieli had ordered people to send a letter to all the Tiele tribe leaders, saying that there would be a banquet in the royal court tonight, inviting all the tribe leaders, but now …
"… Hmph! He had originally planned to use tonight's banquet as an example to others, but he had not expected these people to act so quickly! With the current situation, even if this Khan invites them, they won't have the guts to attend the banquet! "
Xieli shook his head. Suddenly, his gaze focused as he looked at Wang Yudong and said in a deep voice, "Since those ants don't know life from death and want to take advantage of the situation to cause trouble, then this khan will let them know what is called a mantis trying to stop a chariot! He immediately ordered the Dark Tribe to cooperate with the Light Tribe experts and execute the decapitation plan in advance! It's tonight! "
Hearing this, Wang Yudong's eyes widened in shock. The "decapitation plan" mentioned by Xieli, as the Deputy Leader of the Wolf Guards, he had naturally heard of it and was deeply involved in it. It was precisely because he was one of the main executors of this plan that Wang Yudong was so shocked when he heard that Xieli was going to start this plan now. After coming back to his senses, Wang Yudong advised,
"Khan, please reconsider! Now that rumors are spreading all over the grassland and the situation is delicate, if we forcefully start the decapitation plan, I'm afraid it will lead to a strong backlash from the other tribes and turn to imitate or rely on the Tiele tribe to resist us!
In addition, although there are Dark Tribe members of the Wolf Guards hidden in all the Tiele tribes, most of them have not really come into contact with the core power of each tribe. If we start the decapitation plan in advance, I'm afraid it will be difficult to completely succeed! Once there is a flaw, our previous deployment will be for naught! "
"Hmph! Even if we can't completely succeed, at least we can make most of their tribes leaderless! This Khan wants to let them know that on this grassland, I, Ashina, still have the final say. Whoever dares to resist, there is only one outcome — and that is death! "
Wang Yudong's words did not make Xieli give up on executing the decapitation plan. Xieli's tiger-like eyes focused as he snorted coldly and persisted.
Wang Yudong was silent upon hearing this. Seeing this, Xieli slowed down and continued, "The ten tribes of the Tiele tribe have millions of soldiers. If we allow them to unite, it will bring a lot of trouble to this Khan!
Although this Khan does not fear them in a head-on battle, to eliminate this group of ants, this Khan will inevitably consume a portion of the power in my hands. This Khan's true goal is to enter the Central Plains and not just this grassland before our eyes.
Therefore, there is no difficulty in quelling this rebellion. What's difficult is that we need to eliminate this group of ants at the smallest cost! Taking advantage of the fact that they have yet to unite, we will kill a few of their leaders and let a few of their tribes fall into chaos first. Then, this Khan will gather the elite forces and swiftly annihilate these few tribes with a thunderous momentum. As for the remaining tribes, it will be much easier to deal with them! "
Wang Yudong's heart trembled. He did not expect that even in this kind of situation, Xieli would still want to attack the Central Plains. Moreover, facing the rebellion of the ten tribes of the Tiele tribe before them, Xieli clearly planned to use a swift and decisive method to quell the rebellion. This required a lot of courage, but at the same time, this was also the most suitable method to break the current situation.
Thinking of this, Wang Yudong bowed and cupped his hands, saying, "Khan is wise! This subordinate will arrange it right away. Tonight, the Wolf Guards will execute the decapitation plan in the ten tribes of the Tiele tribe! "
"Mm! Go! "
Xieli nodded and said, "Once the decapitation plan succeeds, this Khan's army will attack the various tribes of the Tiele tribe overnight. This Khan has always had high hopes for the Wolf Guards. Don't let this Khan down!"
The Wolf Guards had not been established for a long time in the Turks, but the speed of their rise and development was extremely fast. Back then, with Xieli's full support, Zhao Deyan established the Wolf Guards and recruited a large number of martial arts experts and personnel who were good at collecting intelligence. Not only did they quickly help Xieli eliminate the voices of opposition on the grassland, they even infiltrated the Dark Operations of the Wolf Guards into various factions. This included not only the various tribes of the grassland, but also the Great Tang!
Some of these Dark Operations members could only be peripheral members of certain factions, but some had already completely infiltrated the enemy's inner circle, even becoming the core members of the opposing faction!
Of course, the reason why the Wolf Guards could develop so quickly, apart from Zhao Deyan's own "outstanding" ability, was also inseparable from Xieli's full support!
"Rest assured, Khan. The Wolf Guards will definitely not disappoint Khan's high hopes!"
Wang Yudong's expression turned cold as he cupped his hands very solemnly towards Xieli.
Seeing that Xieli had no other orders, Wang Yudong turned and left.
Although the success of the decapitation plan seemed difficult, the Wolf Guards had been planning for a long time, and the various Tiele tribes were completely unprepared for it. Thus, overall, the chances of the success of the decapitation plan were very high. Wang Yudong was somewhat confident.
But in order to be absolutely safe, he still had to make some preparations before the plan could begin. Fortunately, there was still a long time until nightfall!
"Come! Have General Sili come over! "
After Wang Yudong left, within the tent, Xieli instructed the guard outside in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
The guard obeyed and left.
… … …
"Why hasn't Sand Gate returned yet? Did he run into some accident on the way? "
At the same time, in the main tent of the Qiguan Tribe, Qiguan Heli was anxiously pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. After a few moments, he stood still and muttered with a frown.
Inside the tent, apart from Qiguan Heli, there was another person, and that was the number one strategist under his command — Guzang Jiming. Hearing this, Guzang Jiming pondered for a moment and said:
"The matter of the ten Tiele tribes joining forces to resist Xieli is extremely confidential. At present, there should be no possibility of the news leaking out. The various tribes acted quickly according to the plan. Logically speaking, Xieli shouldn't have had time to react … No, there's another variable!"
Speaking up to here, Guzang Jiming seemed to have thought of something and his expression suddenly changed.
Qiguan Heli's heart also thumped. He looked at Guzang Jiming and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What variable ~?"
Guzang Jiming replied: "She 'er's Wolf Cavalry! The ten thousand Wolf Cavalry that Xieli sent to supervise the battle! If the second leader and the others encountered this troop on the way back, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble ~! "
"She 'er's Wolf Cavalry!!"
Qiguan Heli was stunned at first, and then his expression changed. Obviously, when he sent Qiguan Shamen to pass the order to Qiguan Ge Er, he didn't consider this layer. The main reason was that too many things had happened in the past two days. In addition, Ashina She 'er only had ten thousand Wolf Cavalry under his command, and there were more than three hundred thousand Wolf Cavalry surrounding the remnants of Tuli's troops. Ten thousand supervising troops were three hundred thousand, so much so that Qiguan Heli had almost forgotten about this troop. Now that he heard Guzang Jiming mention it, his heart sank.
"Ge Er has eighty thousand elites of my Qiguan tribe under his command. If they encounter She 'er's ten thousand Wolf Cavalry, they will be able to protect themselves. However, if the two sides really fight to the death regardless of the cost, I'm afraid my tribe will suffer heavy losses! Jiming, you … "
Qiguan Heli was about to let Guzang Jiming lead a group of people to rescue Qiguan Shamen and Qiguan Ge Er. At this moment, a soldier outside the tent shouted: "Reporting to the chief, the scouts at the front have reported that General Ge Er's troops have encountered She 'er's ten thousand elite Wolf Cavalry at the foot of Mount Udeti. Both sides are fighting fiercely!"
"What ~?"
Qiguan Heli's expression changed greatly. Previously, those were only their guesses. However, now that their guesses were true, the eighty thousand elites of Qiguan Tribe were already fighting with Ashina She 'er's ten thousand Wolf Cavalry. If he were to send an army to rescue them now, it would probably be too late!
After all, Qiguan Tribe was almost a hundred li away from Mount Udeti!
"… Scout again, report again!"
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind for a moment, Qiguan Heli ordered the messenger soldier outside the tent.
At this moment, it was obviously too late to send an army to rescue them. The only thing he could do was to wait for news.
"Yes ~!"
The messenger soldier accepted the order and left.
In the tent, Qiguan Heli's face was gloomy and he was at his wit's end.
Guzang Jiming thought for a moment and comforted him: "Chief, you don't have to be too worried! Although Ge 'er's tribe encountered the Wolf Cavalry, the number of Wolf Cavalry under She' er's command is no more than ten thousand. Our tribe has eighty thousand elites. Even if the Wolf Cavalry's battle prowess is unparalleled, if they want to fight eighty thousand with ten thousand, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win.
Moreover, at this moment, the other Tiele tribes are also retreating. When they hear the commotion at the foot of Mount Udeti, they will definitely not stand by and do nothing. They will definitely come to help. Therefore, these ten thousand Wolf Cavalry are not enough! "
"Sigh ~!"
Qiguan Heli sighed and said: "How could I not know this? I have also never worried that Ge 'er's tribe would lose to She' er's ten thousand Wolf Cavalry. What I am worried about is that even if Ge 'er and the others win, I'm afraid they will suffer heavy losses!
Next, the ten tribes of Tiele will join forces to resist Xieli. Yi Nan is also very ambitious. If our tribe's strength is seriously damaged, I'm afraid we will be in danger! Now, we can only hope that the other tribes can quickly discover the battle at the foot of Mount Udeti and go to help! "
Guzang Jiming's heart sank. Because Qiguan Heli's worries were not without reason. According to the plan, the ten tribes of Tiele will join forces to resist Xieli. At this time, if the Qiguan tribe suffered heavy losses because of this small conflict, then in the following 'uprising', not only would they have to face the threat from Xieli, they would also have to face their allies!
For example, Yi Nan!
Seeing that the Qiguan tribe was weak, it was very hard to guarantee that Yi Nan would not wait for an opportunity to annex the Qiguan tribe. After all, this guy's ambition was known by everyone!
"… No matter what, since She 'er's Wolf Cavalry has already encountered our people, then the news of the ten tribes of Tiele joining forces will definitely reach Xieli's ears very soon! According to the plan, the Qiguan tribe and Xue Yantuo tribe will establish two lines of defense in the north and south, guarding and helping each other. The most important thing now is that we have to gather the other four tribes near the south to the Qiguan tribe as soon as possible. This way, we will have the strength to fight against Xieli's thunderous fury! "
