The New Year of 619 A.D. was particularly cold, the northern land was mostly covered with snow, and when the weather was fine for more than ten consecutive days, the cold north wind drove straight in, blowing the grassland thousands of miles of territory into a gloomy depression. Hundreds of miles north of Pegasus, on the banks of the Kruren River, tattered white flags fluttered in shards of snowflakes, seemingly being blown into the sky at any moment......

The wind is howling in my ears, and the thick smell of blood is blowing in my face!

The blood condensed into ice, and after the five armies of the Great Sui entered the vast grasslands in the north, a bloody massacre followed, pulling out dozens of Turkic tribes, and there were mountains of corpses and a sea of blood all along the way.

Anyone knows that this tribe has been destroyed, and as far as the eye can see, countless mutilated limbs, split heads, and broken blades are scattered all around.

Blood soaked every inch of the camp, and the dry snow and ice ground felt muddy.

After a while, the Sui army burned the winter firewood in the Turkic land and set a raging fire, and the broken corpses of the Turks were thrown into it by the Sui army, and they were drowned in the fire after a while.

The Turkic tribes on this side of Liaodong are the descendants of Jieli, there are more than 70 large and small, originally, there are more than 400,000 people, and everyone in the grassland is good at fighting, among which there are 300,000 people who can fight, and now Jieli is about to take office in Dujin Mountain, he in order to demonstrate to the ministries, he transferred five or six percent of the combat power to the past, only more than 100,000 combat power is left to guard the wealth of the clan, if they gather into an army, it is indeed a big threat to the Sui army, but they are distributed in the grasslands separated by a few miles and dozens of miles, This created favorable conditions for the annihilation of the Sui army one by one.

Such a God-given opportunity, how could Yang Tong let it go, and immediately divided the troops into two routes, one east and one west, to slaughter various tribes.

From ancient times to the present, only the grassland people have attacked the Central Plains people, and very few Central Plains people have gone deep alone. In this icy and snowy land, the Turks did not set up any scouts, which provided a chance for the Sui army's sneak attack to win.

Encountering a sudden attack by 45,000 Sui troops, it was all thrown into chaos at once.

The Turks were already fighting on their own, and there were very few formations in the war, and the main force had already been taken away by Jieli. The remaining Turkic warriors certainly had the strength to fight, but compared to the well-trained Sui army, they were really very different.

In an almost crushing victory, one Turkic tribe after another was destroyed, taking away all their cattle, sheep, horses and wealth, and then driven into Pegasus County by tens of thousands of militia soldiers from the auxiliary.

The extermination of the Turkic remnant tribes was too victorious, and Yang Tong's ambition grew, and he knew that the opportunity could not be lost, and the truth that it would never come again. simply took Jieli's headquarters at one time, and according to statistics, there are more than 70 at least.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty in history, the Turks took advantage of the Central Plains melee and the inability to resist in various places, and entered the Central Plains again and again, plundering young people, women and property, and passing through the red wilderness for thousands of miles, causing the population of the Central Plains to plummet and the property to suffer heavy losses. Even many times the army came to the city of Taiyuan, wantonly looted Hedong, and when Li Tang was in power, he came to the city of Chang'an and ransacked the entire Guanzhong.

It can be said that the continuous galloping of the Turks on the land of the Central Plains is the main reason why the population of the Central Plains has decreased from more than 56 million Ding at the peak of the Great Sui Dynasty to more than 15 million households in the seventh year of Wude Tang Gaozu Wude! In the civil war, in fact, the loss of population is not much, and the people who are captured by this side surrender immediately, and then this side of the force is defeated, and the soldiers and the people surrender to the other side, and so on, as long as a strong soldier lives to the time when the world is peaceful, his allegiance to no less than four or five families.

If the Turks go south, the events of history will be repeated, and the Central Plains will be ruined. Mercy is cruelty to one's own people, the Turks only have a population of two million people at the top of the sky, and there are more than 200,000 here.

"What is the husband thinking?"

Seeing Yang Tong looking at the sky-rushing firelight, Li Xiuning couldn't help asking. At this time, everyone is busy with their own work, and only she, who is 'close' to the soldiers, is free.

"I'm thinking about how to completely get rid of the northern peoples of the Turks and Tiele."

"It's better to let them be like the southern khan, attached to the desert grassland."

"That's not going to work!" Yang Tong shook his head and said, "We have suffered a big loss in this regard. ”

Li Xiuning said: "What is the husband talking about? ”

"Yes, Qimin was originally a lost dog, but he was fed into a fierce tiger by my Great Sui, and finally became a huge enemy of my Great Sui, and the same mistake cannot be repeated again. In the future, I will definitely not allow the Southern Khan to gain a foothold in the Monan steppe. ”

The historical Li Tang Dynasty followed the example of the Sui Dynasty and placed these alien races attached to him in the frontier and let them govern themselves, what was the result? When the Tang Dynasty was strong, it was still in peace, and after the Tang Dynasty weakened, these attached tribesmen entered the Central Plains and followed An Lushan to loot the Central Plains, bringing great disasters to the Han nation.

Li Zhi did a relatively good job, after he destroyed Goryeo, he escorted more than a million Goguryeo people to the heart of the land to settle, but he did not do it thoroughly, and actually let Goguryeo live in a county and a county, these people gathered together, the customs and habits not only did not change, but assimilated the native Han people, and finally, the descendants of these people also established the kingdom of the Goguryeo people in the Central Plains.

Yang Tong will never leave this hidden danger behind, "The best way is to break them up strongly, integrate them into each village on a household basis, and then use two generations to sinicize them, just like the Han people Hu during the Northern and Southern Dynasties." Only in this way can they be completely assimilated and placed together, which is always a big hidden danger. ”

Li Xiuning was surprised when he heard this, and said with emotion: "Jieli's transfer order has been issued to the Turkic ministries, and the elites of each department have been transferred to the Khan Court. However, this side has been purged, and other tribes will definitely strengthen their vigilance, and the next action will not be easy, we still need to be cautious, don't be like Guan Yu, carelessly lose Jingzhou. ”

"Don't worry, I won't give Jieli this chance." Yang Tong squinted and smiled, and said, "No matter how much the Turks strengthen their guards, they will not benefit the city, and it will be very easy to fight. Now that we have the absolute advantage, no matter how much they defend, they can't help, and they are full of flaws. ”

"Flawed?" Li Xiuning looked at Yang Tong with a shocked expression.

"That's right! It's full of flaws. Yang Tong smiled and called the generals.
