Martial Sage

The warm sun sprinkled on this silver-white snow.

The grand puja was officially opened.

Countless Turkic people, dressed in costumes, crawled piously on the ground.

As far as his eyes could be, it was the golden tent of the king's court that glittered with gold.

On the open ground in front of the royal court, a group of wizards dressed in foaming, surrounded by towering totem statues, prayed to the sky.

The great wizard stood under the totem, mumbling.

"Great Longevity God, please guide my pious people so that they can find their way to the future."

After reciting a word, the great wizard spread out his hands and placed them on the cold snow with his palms facing the sky and respectfully worshiped.

The stone totem of Phnom Penh outlined by the warm sun looks more sacred and solemn.

This stone monument that can convey the will of heaven, at this moment, is the god of the Turkic people.

As the great wizard slowly bowed, the Dolly Khan in the first lap also led the steppe tribes, devoutly offering his own sincerity.

In front of Changshengtian, he is no longer the king of Sacred on the prairie.

But a believer in Changshengtian, a child of Changshengtian.

Afterwards, the people behind him followed Dolly Khan, slowly bowed down, and brushed down their bodies again.

Slowly, incomprehensible words finally uttered from the wizards and chanted under this Sacred stele.

Ashinasheer, who was kneeling among the crowd, raised his eyes slightly, looked at Dolly Khan who was a few steps away, and let out a light sigh.

"As a Turkic general, after all, I have not been able to restore the overall situation."

After hearing this sigh, the bald man next to him turned his head and saw the sadness in Ash Nasheer's eyes, which was rather uneven.

"General, now the Golden Tent King Court has driven you out, do you still think about the Khan?"

"If Khan could hear him, he would have already set out to return to the land of Mobei."

Words of comfort lingered in the ears, and the protruding figure of Ashina Sher turned his head slightly and glanced at the people around him.

There was a hint of reluctance in the eyes.

"But under this war, how many young and brave warriors of our clan will die! How many innocent people of our clan have been displaced!"

After that, Ashina Sheer's eyes blushed, and he looked up at the upright stone monument and said slowly.

"I hope Changshengtian can understand my good intentions."

With endless helplessness in the sad words, the bald man said solemnly.

"We have done everything that should be done, and we have also persuaded what we can persuade, and the rest is still up to the destiny."

A drop of clear tears slipped from the Turkic general's eyes, whispering softly, and slowly sounded the moment his head touched the snow.

"Perhaps, this is the life of Dolly Khan!"

"Perhaps, this is also the fate of the entire East Turks."

...

The imperial city, the back garden.

Under the breeze, the clear lake water rippled from the starting point.

The distant imperial city was not as cold as the northern border. At noon, it was wrapped in fox fur, but it was a bit hot and dry.

On the edge of the lake, King Tang was sitting on a low stool and fishing with a bamboo pole.

And beside him, Li Jing was also there.

The two seemingly leisurely and comfortable, but their minds are not above the swim bladder at all.

Staring at the motionless fish bladder for a long time, King Tang's calm voice came slowly.

"Duke Wei Guo, what do you think is your chance of winning the battle in the North?"

Hearing Tang Wang's question, Li Jing did not answer immediately.

As a general, he does not dare to talk about winning or losing without going to the battlefield.

Tang Hao, who was still in the north, was so young that he set off in command, which was a novelty that had never been seen in history.

What's more, this young youth, commanding fifty thousand soldiers and entrusting him with the important task of extermination, was a risky decision.

On the battlefield, rapid changes and unpredictable changes will lead to big mistakes.

Especially for these young people who have not had experience in wars, it is a life-and-death challenge.

From the original point of view, if there is a suitable candidate, Li Jing would not approve of Tang Hao's command.

Seeing the person beside him, Wang Wang turned his head slightly without answering.

"Don't always be stunned."

"Or, this time in the Northern Territory, talk about your own ideas."

With a sound of coercion, it reached his ears, awakening the contemplative Li Jing.

As he looked up, Li Jing still converged his thoughts, pondered for a moment, and said.

"In this battle, the odds of winning are only 50-50."

After all, Li Jing paused for a moment and added.

"In this battle, the minister is not on the battlefield, so I dare not speak rashly."

This answer was pertinent, but it fell in Tang Wang's ears but it lacked a bit of flavor, and it felt somewhat cope with it.

Amidst the light, Tang Wang's face was unhappy, and Li Jing continued to analyze.

"It has been half a month since Hou Dingbei left Yaoguan. Calculating the time, he is already close to the Golden Account King Court."

"The war will start within a few days."

Li Jing said that the king of Tang, who started the military and military, had also considered it, and it was confirmed at this time.

Tang Wang nodded slightly and motioned Li Jing to continue.

"Judging from the information that Datang has obtained at this time, Tang Hao's army has not been discovered so far, and this alone is enough to make the generals in the Tang Dynasty ashamed."

"With such military capabilities, looking at Datang, few veterans can sit so well."

After all, Li Jing's eyes flashed with a gleam, said.

"It's a surprise attack. It's impossible to enter the Yinshan Mountain completely concealed."

"If the minister is on the battlefield, one branch will inevitably be separated, mixed with food and audio, and interferes with the internal decision-making of the royal court."

"If nothing else, Tang Hao would have thought so."

The expression on King Tang's face eased, and he said slowly.

"It's a clever trick to make surprise soldiers again and again."

"The next battle is a tough battle."
