Youzhou City, the Turkic camp.
"Reporting to Khagan! Traces of Li Yi found in Pan County!"
The scout rushed in with sweat on his face and panting.
Jie Li Khagan stood up anxiously.
"What's the situation? Tell me in detail. Don't miss anything!”
The scout took a deep breath and continued,"
"That, that Li Yi, he erected a flag on the city tower of Pan County with his name written on it!”
In the tent, Jie Li and Tuli Khagan couldn't help but be stunned.
What did Li Yi mean?
They were already in Youzhou, which was equivalent to putting Li Yi on the wanted list, yet he still dared to be so arrogant?
He was afraid that the Turkic army wouldn't be able to find him!
A moment later, Khan Jie Li waved his hand and said,"
"You can leave first."
The tent fell silent.
Tuli Khan broke the silence.
"This…Do we still have to fight?"
The meaning was obvious.
Could this be the real Li Yi…
Khan Jie Li's expression was uncertain:
"Why not?"
Tuli Khagan thought to himself,'Don't you know why? You still want to ask me?
But he couldn't just say that.
Hence, he said tactfully,"
"This seems to be Li Yi's style.”
"Three to five years ago, he was nicknamed 'Sick Tiger'. That was because he was not in good health.”
"But looking at his actions, although he is weak, he is not afraid of battle.”
"When Li Yi just arrived in Youzhou, this place was a place for us to plunder and seize.”
"Even when his troops are insufficient, he is still like this.”
"One can imagine that if Li Yi was really in Youzhou, he would be doing the same thing as that person in Pan County!”
Jie Li Khagan paced back and forth in the tent anxiously, almost making Tuli Khagan dizzy.
That's right…
If Li Yi was here, he would have revealed his tracks when he heard that the Turks were searching for him.
This was the sick tiger who had guarded Youzhou Province for five years!
But at this moment, Jie Li Khan was already in a situation where he could not back down.
He scratched his hair in frustration and shouted in a low voice,
"Don't I know Li Yi's style?!”
"However, I have already ordered the entire Youzhou Province to search for Li Yi's whereabouts and have more than 200,000 soldiers surround him!”
"If I withdraw my order now, it would be a great taboo in the army!”
"Losing prestige is secondary. If morale is destroyed, then we will lose the entire game!!!”
Tuli Khagan fell silent.
Then, he thought for a long time before saying,"
"But don't forget that we've discussed this before. This Li Yi is very likely to be a fake.”
"How could a sickly tiger become like this after three years in prison?”
"Ha, to put it bluntly, if Li Yi was this brave three years ago, then our Turks would not be where we are today!”
Hearing this, Jie Li Khagan seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw."
"Yes, that's right. He can't be the real Li Yi!”
"He must be deliberately imitating Li Yi's style of doing things to borrow Li Yi's prestige!”
Tuli Khagan continued,
"Now that my army has already broken through Youzhou's main city, even if Li Yi is here, his greatest advantage in the past is gone.”
"No, any so-called famous general of the Great Tang will be helpless against us!”
"Heh, in a situation where there's no danger to defend, even a Divine General like Lü Bu and Xiang Yu can't do anything about it!”
Jie Li's face that was full of fierceness, the anxiety slowly faded away and was replaced by a sense of pleasure.
"Hahahahaha!"
"A few years ago, that Li Yi was able to oppress our Turks until we couldn't even raise our heads. Today, this fellow actually wants to imitate him!”
"I don't care if you're the real Li Yi or a fake. I'll make sure you never return from this suicide mission!”
Immediately after, Jie Li Khan and Tuli began to discuss countermeasures.
"I didn't think that we could mobilize all 200,000 soldiers.”
Tuli Khagan suggested.
"If that Li Yi is just a pretense and is actually planning to sneak attack Youzhou's main city, it would be risky to not leave any troops behind.”
Jie Li Khan shook his head:
"Now that the main city has been broken for more than a month, what should be robbed has already been robbed.”
"At the end of the day, this is the Great Tang's city, not the Turkic Imperial Court.”
But Tuli Khagan said,
"I'm worried that the camp will fall. I'm really afraid that he'll send light cavalry to attack at night and burn our rations.”
When two armies confronted each other, if one side could strike first and cut off the other side's grain supply, then they would have more than half the confidence.
And grain and supplies were often very cumbersome.
If Jie Li Khan wanted to send an army to Pan County, he would definitely only bring a few days of rations. The rest of the rations would be stored in the main camp of Youzhou.
Tuli's worries were reasonable.
But Jie Li Khagan didn't seem to think much of it.
"Don't worry. Li Yi claims to have 40,000 soldiers under him, but only 3,000 of them are real cavalry. The rest are all refugees!”
"If my 200,000 troops were to press down, it would be too late for them to run. How could they still have the mood to run a hundred miles and come to the main city to burn my rations?”
"Don't try to persuade me anymore. I've made up my mind. All 200,000 troops will head to Pan County and break through the city as soon as possible!!!”
