Chapter 677 Unbelievable
"What are you talking about! Western Turks have withdrawn their troops?" Yi Nan looked at the scout who reported the news in disbelief.
Yi Nan was pleasantly surprised at first, but soon felt that something was wrong.
The Western Turks did not retreat even though the Tang Dynasty sent reinforcements, which shows that they are very firm in unifying the grasslands.
If it was said that Western Turkic was defeated and retreated, Yi Nan could still understand, but Western Turkic only won a big victory yesterday, and at this time Xue Yantuo was already at the end of his force, and as long as he continued to attack, he might not be able to resist.
The Western Turks are retreating at this time, is there some conspiracy?
"Khan, could it be that Tang's surprise soldiers raided the rear of the Western Turks? The Western Turks chose to retreat?" Solange guessed.
Yi Nan's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's right, it should be like this."
Other than that, he really couldn't think of a reason for the Western Turks to withdraw their troops.
"Haha, it seems that Ben Khan has to thank Manager Lin." Yi Nan said with joy.
The Western Turks put a lot of pressure on him and let him see the internal problems of Xue Yantuo, but the Western Turks had been attacking before, so he dared not let go to rectify the interior.
Now that the Western Turks are retreating, he will have enough time to rectify the interior. If the Western Turks invade next time, he will have the confidence to fight the Western Turks.
"Khan, I think we should thank you in person." Solange said.
Yi Nan was taken aback, and said with some displeasure: "If Ben Khan goes to see him at this time, he asks Ben Khan what to do with the remaining cattle, sheep and horses?"
He didn't want to break the contract, but he didn't want to sell those cattle, sheep and horses by himself.
If he saw Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan said that since the Western Turks had retreated, should Khan give me the remaining cattle, sheep and horses? He really didn't know how to deal with it.
What Yi Nan thought was, after he cleaned up the interior, let the rest of the tribes take out the remaining part.
And all this takes time, so not only can he not see Lin Xuan for the time being, but he even has to avoid Lin Xuan.
Solange said, "Great Khan, did Tang's surprise troops raid the rear of the Western Turks, so that the Western Turks had to withdraw their troops? Don't forget, Khan, what the Tang people said was that they sent surprise troops to raid the rear of the Western Turks five days later." , It’s only the fourth day now, plus the time to deliver the news, normally, it will take three or four days to get the news.”
"If the Western Turks retreated because of the Tang Dynasty, it's okay to give them the rest, but if it's not, then there's no need to give it."
Yi Nan thought about it carefully, and felt that Solange's words made sense.
He didn't think of this before because he couldn't think of any other reason for the Western Turks to retreat.
Now it seems that maybe it really has nothing to do with Datang.
In this way, the remaining cattle, sheep and horses can be saved to make up for what he gave to Datang before.
"Solangelai is really my Xue Yantuo's wise man." Yi Nan praised.
Yi Nan didn't delay after speaking, and immediately brought Solange to the Tang army camp.
Lin Xuan was very puzzled when he learned that Yi Nan was coming in person, and before he had time to think about it, he went to the gate of Daying to welcome Yi Nan.
"I've seen Da Khan. If Da Khan has something to say, just send someone to tell him. How can I bother Da Khan to come over in person?" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
The corner of Yi Nan's mouth twitched, I sent someone to invite you, but you didn't go either?
"Chairman, Ben Khan is here to thank you this time."
Because of the retreat of the Western Turks, Yi Nan was in a very good mood, with a smile on his face.
It's just that Yinan has lived in the grassland for a long time, and his skin is not to mention dark and rough. His smile is like a dry chrysanthemum, which is very unappetizing.
"You don't have to thank Khan. What happened yesterday was nothing more than a transaction."
Lin Xuan thought that Yi Nan was talking about the fact that he sent troops to help him hold back the pursuers yesterday.
He didn't want to have too much interaction with Yi Nan, whether it was himself or Datang, the support positioning this time was a deal.
If he accepts Yi Nan's thanks now, how can he refuse if Yi Nan asks him to send troops to help Xue Yantuo fight against the Western Turks?
Yi Nan waved his hand and said: "This is not what Ben Khan said. Just now the news came from the scouts that the Western Turks have retreated. I think this must be due to the surprise soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, so I came to thank the general manager in person. Khan has already had people prepare cattle, sheep and wine, so don't be too polite, chief executive, just enjoy it."
Lin Xuan didn't listen to the latter words at all. Just hearing the news of the Western Turks' retreat, Lin Xuan was stunned.
What Yi Nan and the others thought at first was that the surprise troops sent by the Tang Dynasty raided the rear of the Western Turks, which caused the Western Turks to retreat.
But Lin Xuan didn't think about that at all. He told Yi Nan that it was within five days, but in fact he asked Ashinasheer to launch an attack in seven days.
This was Ashina's first battle with the Tang Dynasty, and it was impossible for him to disobey his orders.
Since it was not for this reason, the Western Turks had just won a victory, and it was time to pursue the victory, so why did they suddenly retreat?
Lin Xuan quickly thought of a possibility, whether there was something wrong with Nishu's body, or he died of illness, which caused the Western Turks to retreat.
This possibility is not impossible. In history, Nishu died suddenly in the eighth year of Zhenguan, but now it is the seventh year of Zhenguan. It stands to reason that Nishu still has one year to live.
But in history, Zhenguan did not mobilize troops against Xue Yantuo in the seven years of Zhenguan.
There are many things that need to be taken care of when marching and fighting. After a long time, normal people will feel tired, let alone muddy and sick.
In addition, he sent troops to intervene yesterday, and did not let the Western Turks take the opportunity to expand the results of the war. Under the anger of Nishu, he died, which is not impossible.
Seeing Lin Xuan standing there in a daze, Yi Nan and Solange looked at each other, showing a hint of a smile.
Judging from Lin Xuan's expression, the retreat of the Western Turks has nothing to do with Datang.
Although Yi Nan couldn't figure out why the Western Turks withdrew their troops, but the Western Turks did retreat, and the return had nothing to do with Datang, so he didn't have to give the benefits he had promised to Datang.
The original agreement between Xue Yantuo and Datang was that Datang sent troops to assist Xue Yantuo and help Xue Yantuo beat back the Western Turks.
But after Lin Xuan came, he only sent troops yesterday to help Xue Yantuo stop the pursuers, and the retreat of the Western Turks has nothing to do with Datang, so naturally there is no need to give.
"Big Manager." Yi Nan shouted.
Lin Xuan came back to his senses and said, "I'm sorry, I really can't figure out why the Western Turks retreated at this time. I don't know if the news that Da Khan got the fight is accurate. Is the Western Turks planning something?"
"Impossible, scouts keep coming in about the news about the Western Turks. The latest news is that the Western Turks have pulled out their camp. Even if he has any conspiracy, as long as Ben Khan doesn't send troops to pursue him, he won't count on me." Yi Nan said confidently. Said.
It is not so much self-confidence as it is caused by the environment of the grassland.
The grassland is flat and flat, although there are some small hillsides in some places to ambush, but as Yi Nan said, as long as they don't pursue them, no matter what calculations the Western Turks have, it will be useless.
As for the Western Turks deliberately retreating to let Xue Yantuo relax his vigilance, and then take the opportunity to sneak attack, it is even more impossible.
