    Since Yanmen was relieved from the siege, Yang Guang was eager to return to Luoyang.  This time, the Turks suddenly rebelled, catching the Sui Dynasty off guard. Chaos was almost falling inside and outside the court, and the situation was urgently needed to be stabilized.  Moreover, Yang Guang was still frightened by being surrounded this time, and he would not dare to patrol the north again in a short period of time.

    Huang Mingyuan did not stay in Yanmen City for long. He said goodbye to the emperor that night and returned to the army.

    Having set up such a big situation for the Turks, when it comes time to close the net, success or failure lies in this, Huang Mingyuan has to be cautious.

    Huang Mingyuan led his troops to the west and met with the Hedong reinforcements commanded by Xue Shixiong at Xixingguan (on Yanmen Mountain west of Yanmen Pass, thirty-two miles northwest of Dai County, Shanxi Province today). At this time, Huang Mingyuan finally had the trump card for a decisive battle with the Turks.

    Huang Mingyuan asked someone to send a message to Qi Lifu, asking him to attack.

    Since Huang Mingyuan planned chaos within the Turks, he was not prepared to directly fight the Turks.  Not only would the casualties be huge, it would also likely cause the other party to share the same hatred.  It would be more convenient and faster for Zilif to instigate internal strife among the counterattack forces in the Turkic army.

    When Lever led his army to the rear, the Sui army also had a tacit agreement not to attack his troops.

    The Turks crossed the Sanggan River and were not far from the White Wolf Fortress.  The distance from Bailangsai to Heng'an Town is less than a hundred miles and can be reached in less than two days.

    But what worries Shibi Khan is that until today, there has been no good news from Heng'an Town.  Ashina Simo reported that although the Sui army only had three to four thousand men, it was very powerful and was undoubtedly an elite force of the Sui army. It might be difficult to defeat the enemy in a short period of time.

    Shibi Khan did not think that when tens of thousands of troops arrived at Heng'an City, they would be able to break the city with one strike, so he had to give himself enough time.  However, the Sui army behind him was pressing forward step by step, and was always thirty miles away from the Turkic army, leaving Shibi Khan helpless.

    In the end, Khan thought for a long time. If he wanted to successfully break through, he must retain his troops to stop the rear.  It is necessary to leave a force in Shenwu County (southeast of today's Shanyin County, Shanxi Province) to block the Sui army heading north, and buy enough time for the main Turkic force to attack Heng'an Town.  As for why he was not at the more dangerous White Wolf Fortress, Shibi Khan was also helpless. The gate of White Wolf Fortress had been destroyed, but it was not as conducive to defense as Shenwu County.

    However, the remaining troops will most likely be surrounded by the Sui army in Shenwu County.  Even if the main Turkic force breaks out, this force may become the prey of the Sui army, and there is no possibility of breaking through.

    Shibi Khan originally hoped to keep Zhilifu, but Zhilifu was about to fall out with Shibi Khan, and even bluntly said that if Shibi Khan sent him to die, he would surrender to the Sui army immediately.  One shot and two parts.

    At first, Khan was forced to leave the stage.  But now that the situation was unfavorable, Shibi Khan did not dare to force his younger brother.

    As for the other tribal leaders, although they did not express their opinions clearly, they had the same thoughts as Shibi Khan. Who would be willing to be cannon fodder for others when death is inevitable.  The worst case scenario is to surrender to the Sui army.

    Shibi Khan was filled with hatred, but he also did not believe in the integrity of these people.  Whichever clan leader he dared to leave behind would immediately surrender to the Sui army and turn against them.

    At first Khan was helpless, and he couldn't let him cut the meat himself.

    At this time, Shibi Khan's uncle Shabo Luashe Ashina Suni volunteered and was willing to cut off the rear of the army.

    Ashina Sunishi is the half-brother of Qimin Khan. Compared with his other brother Ashina Sunishi, who plays an important role in the Turks, Ashina Sunishi is relatively unknown.  However, Ashina Suni is not weak in strength. He has ten thousand knights under his command, who are brave and good at fighting.  And he himself was only loyal to the Khan and never participated in the internal battles of the Ashina family, so he was trusted by Khan Shibi.

    At this time, the crisis showed the hearts of the people, Ashina Sunni took the initiative to ask for a job, and immediately moved Shibi Khan.  Shibi Khan praised: "If everyone in the Great Turks is like an uncle, there will be no need to worry about the failure of the Great Turks."

    In order to show the importance to Ashina Sunishi, Shibi Khan named Ashina Sunishi as a Yehu on the spot.  But no one envied him.  A Ye Hu's name is exchanged for Ashina Suni's life. The Great Khan really had a good idea.

    However, this was also rejected by Ashina Sunishi.  Ashina Sunishi said bluntly: "I don't even care about my life, so how can I care about the name of Ye Hu. Today's divorce is just because I am a descendant of the Ashina family. I just want the Great Khan to return to the grassland.  Able to protect the herdsmen, sharpen soldiers and horses, and restore the glory of the Great Turks."

    Ashina Sunisu¡¯s words made his good nephew¡¯s face turn red and green for a while.  Shibi Khan did not think that he was not a good Khan, but because his uncle wanted to die for him, he forgave his uncle for his unscrupulous words.

     The armies passed Shenwu City and continued northward.

    And Ashnasuni looked at the Turkic army going north, and was stunned for a while.

    It was not until Shibi Khan's troops could no longer be seen that his son Ashina Yong called him.

    "Aye, the Great Khan has left. Should we prepare our defenses?" Although Ashina Yong did not understand his father's choice, he respected his father's choice.

    "Preparing defense? Who to defend against?"

    Ashina Suni looked at his eldest son in despair. This son was loyal, simple and filial, but he lacked agility and would never achieve great success.

    Ashina Yong didn't understand what his father meant, so he hurriedly said: "Didn't my father ask for his resignation? Now that the Sui army is approaching, our army should take advantage of this period to strengthen the city's defenses to buy more time."

    Ashnasuni looked at his son disappointedly and said, "Can we defeat the Sui army?"

    "cannot?"

    "In this case, why do we have to fight to the death with the Sui army?"

    Looking at his son's puzzled face, Ashina Sunishi said: "Do you know what my good brothers say about me behind my back? They all say that I am a weak lamb, not a descendant of the Wolf God. But now you  Look, where are my brothers who are as fierce as tigers and wolves now? They have long become a pile of withered bones. Only me, the weak lamb in their mouth, is still alive and well.

    Remember, bravery is not a skill, but survival is the real skill. Never take chances, and never make enemies of enemies you cannot defeat.  "

    Ashina Yong seemed to understand, but asked again: "Aye, what should we do?"

    Ashina Sunishi said: "Surrender to the Sui army, and the Sui army will tolerate us."

    "But, but"

    What Ashina Yong wanted to say was never said out loud. He would never question his father.

    Ashina Suni saw what his son wanted to ask, so he said, "You want to ask the Great Khan what they should do? They can't get out of the Sui Dynasty."

    "Why?"

    Ashina Suni sneered and said: "Even Ashina Simo can't attack Heng'an City, do you think it can be done from beginning to end?" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
