Seeing that the Turkic cavalry began to retreat, Li Hongyun reined in his horses and continued crossing the river without taking his hundred cavalry.

However, he was still on this side of the ditch, staring at the Turks.

Seeing that all the more than 10,000 cavalrymen had withdrawn from Wulongban and evacuated towards the Turkic camp further away, they took a hundred cavalry back to the Liang Army's formation and withdrew to Binzhou City.

After doing all this, Li Hongyun felt his heart beating wildly.

It’s so exciting to pretend to be cool and run away!

After all, he is not the King of Qin, but just pretending to be the King of Qin.

Therefore, he was basically pretending to be calm before. In fact, he was very panicked.

The words "I am the King of Qin" not only deterred the opponent and boosted one's own morale, but also emboldened Li Hongyun himself.

After shouting out, Li Hongyun seemed to really feel that he had become the King of Qin, with a strong aura of "Thousands of people will go to me".

After the whole process of acting was completed and the Turks really retreated, Li Hongyun felt relieved and could sum up the reasons.

King Qin's handling method can be described as a standard answer.

But why is this a standard answer? What details are there?

This deserves a careful analysis by Li Hongyun.

First of all, to carry out this operation, the prestige of King Qin himself is essential.

His personal strength is off the charts, his military skills are godlike, and he is famous among the Turks. From the Khan to the leader and even the ordinary soldiers, everyone respects the King of Qin like a god. This is a prerequisite.

Otherwise, another person would never be able to produce such a powerful deterrent effect.

Secondly, King Qin’s operation was based on knowing oneself and the enemy.

Judging from the situation at that time, if there was a fight, Liang Jun would definitely not be able to take advantage. King Qin knew this very well, so he did not start a fight rashly.

If he really had the strength to annihilate all the Turks, he would have done it long ago after just a disagreement, so why would he use any other tricks?

After all, Jieli Khan led his army deep into the territory of the Liang Dynasty. If we could destroy the Turks here, kill Jieli Khan, and severely damage the Turkic army, then we would not have to go deep into Mobei to conquer.

The King of Qin knew the situation of the Turks very well.

He not only knew the strength of the Turks, but also the characteristics of the internal divisions among the Turks, and even the way of survival of the steppe people.

He asked for a duel with Jieli Khan to undermine the morale of the Turks, and then re-examined the brotherhood with Tuli Khan, deliberately showing himself to be closer.

On the one hand, this will demoralize Jieli Khan and the Turkic cavalry and make them fearful. It will also further intensify the conflict between Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan.

Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan had conflicts.

Jieli Khan was the third son of Qimin Khan. Before him were the eldest brother Shibi Khan and the second brother Chuluo Khan. As a result, both his eldest brother and second brother died not long after becoming khans.

Already.

Tuli Khan is the son of Shibi Khan, the eldest brother of Jieli Khan.

In other words, Tuli Khan is also a strong contender for the position of Khan. He also represents an important force and is not entirely of the same mind as Jieli Khan.

If it were someone else, even if they knew this, it would be difficult to make a fuss about it.

After all, no matter how close the people of the Central Plains Dynasty are to each other, they are still outsiders.

No matter what Tuli Khan said, he would always be with Jieli Khan.

But the King of Qin was different. The envoy had sworn sworn vows with Tuli Khan in his name before. This was just a pretext. In fact, because the prestige of King Qin was too high, Tuli Khan was very likely to have admiration and admiration for King Qin.

.

In addition, Tuli Khan is a strong contender for the position of Khan...

So in Jieli Khan's view, this set of operations by King Qin most likely contained a huge conspiracy.

The King of Qin only had a hundred cavalry, but he had to cross the ditch and attack the elite Turkic cavalry of more than 10,000 people with low force and high force.

The King of Qin used his troops like a god, so he would not do such a self-destructive thing.

So, what kind of back-up plan did King Qin arrange to dare to do this?

In Jieli Khan's view, first of all, after going deep into the hinterland of the Liang Dynasty, his rear was not completely stable. The King of Qin most likely had sent Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde or other Liang army generals to lead cavalry to outflank his rear.

Secondly, the closeness between King Qin and Tuli Khan was more like a secret code exchange.

If the King of Qin leads hundreds of cavalry to charge into battle, a Liang army suddenly appears behind Wulong Ban to encircle the retreat, and the Liang army in the front responds to the King of Qin in time, and Tuli Khan suddenly rebels in order to seek the position of Khan...

Then Jieli Khan would probably be defeated in an instant.

In fact, if you calm down and think about it, you will realize that this possibility is actually not high.

But in such a tense atmosphere, Jieli Khan didn't have much time to think.

King Qin's move, which surprised everyone, created huge psychological pressure on the Turks. Therefore, this was not a sign of wisdom, but more like a forced error.

Just like when playing a game, if you are playing against a novice, you will make few mistakes; but if you are playing against someone whose level is higher than yours, every fake move he makes will make you uneasy and aggravate your mistakes.

Psychological pressure will slowly lead to a large number of forced mistakes.

When you have to make an extremely important decision in a very short period of time, few foolish people will choose to rush forward. More people will choose to play it safe and withdraw first to see the situation.

This was the case with Jieli Khan at this time.

His intelligence system was obviously crushed by the King of Qin. The King of Qin was very aware of the Turkic way of thinking and knew about the contradiction between Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan. However, Jieli Khan was dissatisfied with the current low morale within the Liang army. King Qin and Qi

I don't know anything about Wang's conflicts and other facts.

Therefore, in the face of the powerful momentum pretended by King Qin, he gave in completely.

First, he said, "I brought hundreds of thousands of people here in the rain for no other reason. I just want to reiterate our previous covenant with the King of Qin." Then he led the cavalry withdrew from Wulong Ban and returned to the camp farther away.

In this way, the King of Qin achieved his goal of defeating the enemy without fighting.

Under the situation at that time, it was impossible to really start a fight and show weakness to the enemy. It was simply impossible to find a better solution than this.

…

After leading the troops back to Binzhou City, the tired soldiers finally had time to enter a house to take shelter from the rain and rest.

The soldiers did not have any special reaction to King Qin's cheating operation.

Only people like Li Hongyun would be excited because they had replicated King Qin's operations. The soldiers under King Qin had long been accustomed to such magical operations.

But obviously, the task this time has not been completed yet.

The Turks just withdrew from Wulong Ban and no longer stared at Binzhou City. However, more than 100,000 troops were still stationed nearby, so this battle was still possible.

While Li Hongyun asked the soldiers who had traveled long distances to seize the time to rest, eat, and maintain their weapons in the city, he also summoned many generals to discuss the next step.

At the same time, the light rain that was originally pouring began to fall heavier and heavier, and even gradually turned into a heavy rain.

The generals under King Qin were still wearing armor, but King Qi had already taken off their wet armor and put on regular clothes.

"Although the Turks have retreated to the camp, they obviously still have no intention of retreating.

"What do you think?"

Li Hongyun looked around at everyone.

A general said respectfully: "Only follow His Highness's orders!"

Obviously, these generals had great trust in King Qin.

King Qin's magical operation to make the Turks retreat had already amazed the generals. But under the current situation, most of the generals could not think of any particularly good countermeasures.

King Qi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said: "Second brother, let's figure it out slowly!

"The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the roads are muddy. How can we fight in such weather? In my opinion, if the heavy rain continues for a few more days, the Turks may simply retreat.

"We'd better wait patiently in Binzhou City, at least, wait until the rain subsides..."

He had obviously made plans to have a good sleep in Binzhou City tonight.

Li Hongyun ignored his opinion and said: "What the Turks relied on was nothing more than war horses and bows and arrows. At this time, the heavy rain was pouring and the roads were muddy. The maneuverability of the Turks' horses was greatly reduced. The bows and arrows were all broken, and their strength and accuracy were

The degree has dropped significantly.

"After our army rested and recuperated in Binzhou City, took shelter from the rain, and lived in a house with fire and food, its combat effectiveness has quickly recovered.

"Although our army's bows and horses will also be affected, armor and swords are our army's strengths. When we fight hand-to-hand, our army has a huge advantage!

"When the Turks occupied the Wulong Ban, they used high ground to control the low and waited for work. Our army could not face their sharp edges. However, after the Turks retreated, their morale has declined and their fighting spirit has become timid. This is the time to be most relaxed.

"If we don't take advantage of the situation and attack it at this time, will there be any better opportunities?

"When the weather clears up after the rain, the Turkic cavalry can gallop freely again. If we want to have a decisive battle with the Turks at that time, what are our chances of winning?"

After saying that, he looked at King Qi: "I will leave you with two thousand people to guard Binzhou City, waiting for news from me!

"Other generals, give orders to all troops and horses to leave the city at midnight tonight and go straight to the Turkic camp!"

…

At this time, in the Turkic camp.

Many Turks had fallen asleep listening to the pounding rain in their tents, but Tuli Khan was still awake.

Traveling around for days, the Turks didn't feel comfortable either.
