Snow floated down from the sky again.

Today's snowflakes are bigger and denser than before.

Snowflakes were flying, and the entire Yinshan Mountain was covered with heavy snow. The originally dry grass was buried deeply. The last color disappeared, and only the white area caught my eye.

The atmosphere in Dingxiang City was abnormal.

Jie Li had already received information from the Tang Dynasty sending troops to attack the grassland.

At this moment, in the huge and magnificent dome, Jie Li sat in the middle, and civil officials and military generals stood apart.

Most people looked solemn.

Jie Li had a fat face, was not very tall, had a little fat, and looked a little bloated, but his eyes, which looked like an eagle, flashed with a cold chill.

"The Khan received urgent reports from the military. Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde led 10,000 Tang troops to Mayi. Depending on the situation, it was the Khan who came to the Khan of Ben."

Jie Li took a sip of hot wine, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice.

"What do you think about this military situation?"

"What's the point of asking for a mere 10,000 Tang troops!" Jie Li's confidant general Du Gouwenze stood up and said loudly, "I am willing to lead 5,000 soldiers to capture Mayi and present the heads of Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde to the Khan!"

Du Gouwenze's figure is not burly, quite similar to Jie Li, both of whom are a bit fat.

Although this person is not the number one warrior under Jie Li's army, he can command Jie Li's personal guard Tianlang Guard. You can imagine his position in Jie Li's mind.

Jie Li laughed and said, "General Du Gouwenze is indeed extremely brave! However, why use a ox knife to kill a chicken? If you want to capture Mayi, you don't need General Du Gouwenze to take action himself!"

"Khan, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty only sent more than 10,000 Tang troops to invade the grasslands, for fear of fraud." Zhao Deyan, the important minister of Jie Li, immediately spoke.

Zhao Deyan is a standard Han man, in his forties, with a medium figure, slender eyes, and a faint cunning look like a fox. His expression is sometimes deep and sometimes full of smiles.

When someone nodded and agreed when he heard Zhao Deyan say this.

Jie Li glanced at Zhao Deyan, glanced at the others, and said with a solemn expression: "Of course the Tang army is more than 10,000. The information received by Khan was that Li Er sent many troops to come. Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde led the middle army, which is also the main force. It is estimated that he wanted to break through the front line of Khan's frontal defense line and try to capture Dingxiang City."

"Where has the rest of the Tang army arrived now?" Zhao Deyan thought for a while and asked.

"According to the rewards of the scouts in front, except for the Tang army led by Li Jie who was about to arrive in Yunzhong, the other marchs are currently moving slowly and are currently staying in the territory of Li Tang, and it seems that they have no intention of directly taking our troops." Jie Li said without hesitation.

Zhao Deyan nodded slightly, thought for a while, and then asked, "What's the matter after Khan, Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde arrived in Mayi?"

"Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde have just arrived in Mayi today and are resting and there is no movement." Jie Li said in a calm tone.

"In this way, Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde are waiting for other marches to arrive before looking for opportunities to attack Dingxiang City." Zhao Deyan pondered.

"Ben Dahan also thinks so." Jie Li nodded and said.

"Khan, since Li Jing led his army to Mayi today, it means that he has not yet gained a foothold. Why don't we attack the army first and capture Mayi, and capture Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde, and the Tang army will naturally retreat!" Du Gouwenze couldn't help but speak again.

Jie Li nodded slightly, his lips moved, and was about to answer the conversation, Asuna Duer, who was standing aside, suddenly stood up and said, "Khan, don't send troops to capture Mayi!"

"Why?" Jie Li's eyes fell on Asunard's face, and he looked at him with his eagle-like eyes.

"Li Jing used troops like a god, and he had the brave and powerful Yuchi Jingde here. Besides, Mayi had strengthened the city wall several months ago. It would be difficult to send troops to capture Mayi." Asuna Duer's face was as usual and his tone was plain.

"General Duer's words are reasonable! As General Duer said, Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde are not easy to deal with." Asunasmo, who was sitting next to Asunasmo, also stood up and echoed.

"Khan, Sili also thinks it is not appropriate to send troops to attack Mayi." Zhishili, who was sitting opposite Jie Li, stood up and agreed with Asunadur, "It is now that heavy snow fell outside, which is not conducive to marching."

"That's right! It's not conducive to marching in heavy snow. If you want to raid Mayi, the marching speed must be fast enough." Asunard continued to speak, "If you send troops to attack Mayi at this time, you may not only be unable to defeat Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde, but also easily be entangled by the opponent's army. When the Tang army's subsequent troops arrive, they will take the opportunity to form an encirclement of our army, which will not be worth the loss at that time."

Jie Li Khan was definitely not a brave but unscrupulous person who was able to become the overlord of the grassland.

He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "What Duer said is reasonable, and he really cannot send troops to attack Mayi."

"Khan, Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde would never have thought that our army would raid on Mayi, and the opportunity would be rare." Du Gouwenze suggested again.

"General Du Gouwenze doesn't need to say much. I am the Khan's intention!" Jie Li Khan said in an unquestionable tone.

Du Gouwenze glanced at Asunaduer in dissatisfaction, and complained that Asunaduer was against him.

Jie Li Khan glanced at everyone and said calmly: "Now the Tang army is not far from our Khanate, what are the good strategies for resisting the enemy?"

Many people whispered and started talking.

"The Great Khan, Eyangling is an important barrier in Dingxiang City. Duer believes that the defense of Eyangling should be strengthened." Asinaduer saw that others did not respond to Jie Li Khan, so he said sincerely.

Jie Li Khan said thoughtfully: "Is General Duer worried that the Tang army would first capture Eyangling?"

"Yes!" Asunadul nodded.

"Okay, according to General Duer's suggestion, the Japanese Khan of Ming Dynasty would send additional soldiers to Eyangling!" said Jie Li Khan.

"Khan, Duer believes that there is no need to wait until tomorrow. At this time, he can send additional soldiers to Eyangling and notify the Eyangling defenders to strengthen their vigilance to prevent the Tang army from attacking." Ashina Duer said earnestly.

"General Duer doesn't need to worry. The Tang army just arrived in Mayi and would never have been able to attack Eyangling so quickly." Jie Li Khan said disapprovingly.

"Li Jing often surprises his troops. Duer suggests that the sooner he is prepared, the better defense can be obtained." Asunatur advised.

"In my opinion, General Duer is too concerned."

At this time, Du Gou Wenze said in a sarcastic tone.

"Li Jing and the Tang army have just arrived in Mayi, and maybe they haven't even had time to rest. How can they attack Eyangling in such a short time? You have said just now that heavy snowfall is not conducive to marching, not to mention that the Tang army is not familiar with the terrain, and its soldiers and horses are not suitable for such heavy snow days."

"General Du Gouwenze's words are reasonable!" Zhao Deyan supported Du Gouwenze. "From my understanding of the Tang people, the Tang people lived in the Central Plains and rarely encountered such bad weather, especially the people in the Central Plains, who rarely fought on heavy snowy days. As General Du Gouwenze said, it is unlikely that the Tang army would send troops to attack Eyangling on heavy snowy days."
