History has changed again here. After Yuchi Gong attacked the Turks' arrogance, he did not leave in a hurry. Yuchi Gong still wanted to see the effect of the triple-stack shooting in Jingyang County. If it worked, the development direction of the Tang army would probably change in the future. In the future, the Tang Dynasty would probably pay more attention to the development of crossbows, and even paid more attention to it in the past when it had already paid great attention to crossbows. In the future, crossbows might be the main ones, and the proportion of hand-to-hand combat soldiers would be reduced.

"The Turks are here again!" Yuchi Gong pointed at the cavalry in the distance on the city tower and said.

Chen Fei looked at the shadow that covered the sky and the sun in the distance, and felt nervous. There were ten thousand people, boundless, let alone 80,000 Turkic cavalry! This was almost half of the 200,000 Turkic cavalry that invaded the Tang Dynasty, so Chen Fei had no idea. If these 80,000 Turkic people attacked together, then it was impossible to say whether his three thousand crossbowmen could block the Turkic people. So Chen Fei became nervous again.

"Tuli?" Yuchi Gong looked at the flag in the distance in surprise.

"General Yuchi, is he Tuli Khan?" Chen Fei asked.

Yuchi Gong immediately explained: "Turi Khan was the second Khan of the Turks, the eldest son of Qimin Khan before the Turks, and the nephew of Jie Li Khan now. After Qimin Khan passed away, if it were the norm, his eldest son should have inherited the position of Khan. However, the Turks are different from our Central Plains. The Turks have always been the strong, and at that time Turi was still young, so they could not get much support. Therefore, Qimin Khan's younger brother, the later Shibi Khan, inherited the position of Khan. However, Shibi Khan passed away

After that, he was not able to pass the throne to his son, and he was still the younger brother, which was later Chuluo Khan. After Chuluo Khan died of illness, they were still their younger brother, the current Jie Li Khan ascended the throne. If I knew this, I would not be willing to do so. After all, he had the opportunity to inherit the Khan's position, but now time has changed, and he has not been able to inherit it. He did not expect that this time he came here to attack the Tang Dynasty with Jie Li. However, this Tuli Khan is still the prince's incense brother."

"Hmm? Is the prince's incense brother?" Chen Fei didn't know about this, and then asked: "General Yuchi, why are you so familiar with the Turks?"

Yuchi Gong did not hide it and said directly: "Before I surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, I served Liu Wuzhou. Liu Wuzhou once praised the Turks, so I am very familiar with the Turks."

Chen Fei immediately asked, "General Yuchi, do you think this Tuli will not work hard when he attacks the Tang Dynasty this time?"

Yuchi Gong was also surprised because of course he knew about Tuli. Tuli had already been in harmony with the appearance of Jie Li Khan of the Turks. As early as the seventh year of Wude, Tuli and Jie Li invaded the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Li Shimin used a divisive strategy and became sworn brothers with Tuli. Tuli also lit ghost fire in the Turkic fan Yinfeng, and the Turkic people could only withdraw their troops. As for later, the Tang Dynasty knew that Tuli might be in harmony with Jie Li, and he could not even pee in a pot. After all, for Tuli, Jie Li was the one who stole his Khan's position. Therefore, Tuli inevitably had the idea of ​​regaining the Khan's position.

Yuchi Gong has been in contact with Li Shimin for many years, so he probably knew that the conflicts within the Turks were quite large. Unlike the brothers in the Tang Dynasty, the Turks were actually conflicts between uncles and nephews. However, this time the Tang Dynasty was about to be unified, so their uncles and nephews temporarily gave up the conflicts and first defeated the Tang Dynasty. After all, they were all Turks. From a national perspective, they all had to think about the future of the Turks, so they temporarily gave up the conflicts to attack the Tang Dynasty. However, contradictions were contradictions after all, and this still existed.

"General Yuchi, if we look at it from the map, Jingyang and Gaoling next to him are almost parallel. This time Tuli took the initiative to attack Jingyang, would he want to compete with Jie Li and then establish his prestige? Look at this situation, they are all fighting spirits! Since General Yuchi said that they were in harmony with the spirits, Tuli might want to attack Jingyang and then divide the Turkic troops into two groups to attack our Tang Dynasty Chang'an. In this way, he prepared for the future fight for the Khan position, so he led his own army instead of acting with Jie Li. This also shows that their conflict has been made public and may turn against each other at any time."

"And I boldly speculate that although they will cooperate temporarily for the same goal now, Tuli may not work hard. He probably hopes to consume Jie Li's power to fight against my Tang Dynasty and then protect his own strength. In this case, although Tuli has an army of 80,000 in his hands, in fact, we may not be so dangerous. Tuli must leave a certain amount of capital for the Khan position in the future. If the casualties are too large, he will definitely preserve his strength and will not fight against us. We might as well take advantage of his mentality, and we can play tacit understanding with them. We will fight him a little, and then if they don't take the initiative to attack, we will not take the initiative to find them bad luck."

Chen Fei's idea is actually to have a tacit understanding with Tuli. Since Tuli wants to consume Jie Li's strength and preserve his own strength, he will naturally not do his best. Then Chen Fei can take his time with Tuli, and then let Tuli control the army and not participate in Jie Li's battle to attack the Tang Dynasty. When Jie Li attacks Chang'an, he will definitely consume a lot of strength in the siege battle, so Jie Li and Tuli will be balanced. Now the situation on the grassland is that Jie Li has the advantage, and Tuli is not as good as Jie Li for the time being, so Tuli is temporarily suppressed. But if Jie Li loses a lot of money when attacking the Tang Dynasty this time, then a balance will probably be formed on the grassland, and this will be more serious in the struggle. Therefore, reducing Jie Li's strength is to prepare for future strategies, which is to promote their internal struggle.

Yuchi Gong thought about it for a moment and immediately said, "Your idea should work, but we must let Tuli know our power. Only when Tuli knows our power will he give up the idea of ​​attacking the Tang Dynasty with all his might and choose to reach a tacit understanding with us."
