On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 292 A plan to defeat the enemy

"Free battle card?!"

Cui Che was quite surprised by this.

Mai Tiezhang affirmed:

"Yes! It's the battle-free card, and it's written in block letters!"

Cui Che couldn't help but pondered:

"What kind of medicine is Dulan and Datou selling in the gourd? Yesterday they made an appointment with me to fight, but today they put up a no-fight card."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the young prisoner captured by the iron rod, and asked in Turkic:

"May I have your name?"

The Turkic prisoner trembled and said:

"The law of the villain's protruding bones."

Cui Che asked again:

"Whose subordinate?"

Tu Gu Lv dare not hide:

"It's under the tent of Dulan Khan."

It turned out that he was from the East Turks. Cui Che softened his expression and smiled at him:

"Back when I was conquering Nili Royal Court in the north, I fought side by side with Du Lan and Mo He. Did you ever follow me?"

As he spoke, he shook his head and smiled:

"Looking at your age, you were underage at the time, so you should have stayed in the tribe."

Tu Gu Lu saw Cui Che's gentle attitude, and his fear was greatly reduced. He looked sad and said:

"Reporting to Duke Yan, my father had the honor to follow Duke Yan on his expedition. I often heard him talk about Duke Yan's great achievements, but my father died in the war with Tuli Khan."

Cui Che didn’t know the name of Tu Gulu’s father at all, but he sighed:

"It turns out he is the son of an old friend."

And he shouted in Turkic language:

"Here comes someone to loosen the protruding bones and give him a seat."

Among Cui Che's personal guards, there are also people who are proficient in Turkic language.

After being untied, Tu Gulu kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude to Cui Che.

After he took his seat, Cui Che asked:

"Do you know why Dulan and Datou suddenly regretted their actions today and did not want to go out to the camp for a decisive battle?"

As soon as he heard this, Tu Gu Lu couldn't help complaining to Cui Che:

"Last night, the two Khans thought that the Yan Guild was attacking the camp before the war, so they ordered us to set up an ambush, and they squatted all night in vain.

"Now the generals of the army have been awake all night, their morale is low, and they can only avoid Duke Yan's sharp attack."

Cui Che's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he confirmed:

"Is what you said true?"

Tu Gulu said firmly:

"I am destined to die, but I can be treated with courtesy by Duke Yan. How dare I deceive Duke Yan!"

This time Cui Che really felt that the fighter plane was right in front of him.

He asked many more questions, and Tuogu Lu told Cui Che everything he knew, without hiding anything.

Cui Che asked his personal guards to take Tuogulu away and place him there. After he left, he smiled at the generals and said:

"I have a plan to defeat the enemy!"

In the Turkic camp, Datou Khan was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard shouts of killing, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums.

"The Sui army is coming!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Datou was awakened and opened his eyes. It was bright outside the tent and the sound came from far away.

His followers hurriedly came in to report:

"Great Khan! The Sui army is coming to kill!"

Datou Khan didn't even have time to put on his armor, so he hurried out of the tent to inspect, and happened to bump into Dulan Khan.

The two men climbed to a high place and looked up. They saw thousands of Sui army cavalry arrayed outside the camp, beating gongs and drums, and shouting warnings in Turkic language at the top of their lungs, but they refused to take a step closer.

Dulan Khan said angrily:

"This Cui Che is really disgusting. He actually deliberately made noise so that our soldiers can't sleep peacefully!"

Datou Khan said angrily:

"I'll send people to kill them right away!"

But Dulan Khan grabbed his sleeve, pointed his other hand towards the woods outside the camp, and said:

"Uncle, don't be impulsive. Just wait and see."

Datou Khan looked in the direction of Dulan Khan's finger, and birds were frightened from time to time.

Dulan Khan concluded:

"Sun Tzu's Art of War says: 'When a bird rises, it falls down.'

“Now that the birds in the forest are frightened and fly away, there must be an ambush in the forest!

"Maybe Cui Che is waiting for us to leave the camp to drive away those noisy cavalry!"

Datou Khan said irritably:

"Then what should we do? Just let them keep chattering!"

Dulan Khan was silent, as if he was thinking about a solution.

Du Liuyehu, who was behind the two of them, said:

"I mean, is there a possibility that the birds were frightened not by the ambush in the forest, but by the Sui people beating gongs and drums, which alarmed them?"

Dulan Khan and Datou Khan looked at each other, then turned to look at the cavalry of the Sui army making a fuss outside the camp.

Datou Khan's face turned dark, and he immediately ordered Du Liuyehu to lead the army to expel the Sui army's cavalry.

However, as soon as Du Liuyehu came out of the camp, the Sui army dispersed and fled.

Du Liuyehu didn't dare to pursue him, but sent people to search the woods. Sure enough, there was no ambush.

Datou Khan knew this and sarcastically said:

"I have read so many Sui people's books, but I don't know what effect they can have!"

When Dulan Khan heard this, his face turned blue and white, which made him look very ugly.

Seeing that the Sui people were driven away, all the people in the Turkic camp, except for the guarding soldiers, went back to catch up on their sleep.

But just as he fell asleep, he was woken up again.

"The Sui army is coming!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The Turkic soldiers had no choice but to get up, cursing, but obviously not as anxious as the first time. They felt a little slow and careless.

Datou Khan sent Du Liuyehu to lead the army to expel him again, but Dulan Khan stopped him and said:

"No! This time I finally saw through Cui Che's plan. He didn't set up an ambush for the first time, just to make us lose our vigilance.

"I am certain that this time, the Sui army must have set up an ambush in the woods!

"Why don't we take advantage of our strategy and send a group of cavalry as bait to drive away the Sui army's cavalry.

"The main force comes from the rear. Once the Sui ambush attacks our army's decoy, we will use the main force to attack their ambush. If the Sui people panic, our army will win!"

Datou Khan looked at Du Liuyehu, this was the son he valued most, Datou valued Du Liu's opinion very much.

Du Liuyehu muttered:

"Maybe you can give it a try."

All units of the Turkic camp were immediately mobilized, and the main force came out from the rear. At the same time, a cavalry force of 5,000 people was used as a bait to charge towards the Sui army's cavalry.

It's just that this time, it's no longer Du Liuyehu who leads the troops. Datou is reluctant to let his heir take risks on such a dangerous task of luring the enemy.

However, the cavalrymen of the Sui army were not interested in fighting. They just saw the Turkic cavalry coming out of the camp, so they immediately got on their horses and rode away.

The Turkic general knew that he was just a bait, so he chased him bravely, fearing all the way. However, after chasing for several miles, no fish bit the hook.

Still, Liuyehu sent someone to call him back.

It turned out that the Sui army did not set up an ambush at all.

If Dulan Khan was just fighting wits and courage with the air, that would be fine, but after doing this again and again, the soldiers under his command were complaining endlessly.

Even Datou Khan looked at Dulan Khan with a hint of suspicion. He really couldn't tell whether Dulan Khan was his ally or had another conspiracy with Cui Che.

When the Turkic army returned to the camp, the Sui army cavalry carefully touched it for the third time. After confirming that there was no ambush, they made loud noises outside the camp.

This time, nearly half of the soldiers in the Turkic camp ignored him and continued to sleep soundly.
