At the western end of the southern part of the Jinshan Mountains, in a vast prairie, tents are lined up, and there is no end in sight, herds of cattle and sheep are leisurely grazing with their tails, and thousands of war horses are constantly patrolling in the distance.

This is the temporary camp of the Khan of Tongyehu.

As expected by Jieli Khan, Tongyehu Khan not only did not go far, but also quickly transferred 200,000 troops.

These were the most elite warriors of the Western Turks, strong and strong, armed with sharp blades, bows and arrows on their backs, and their unruly aura overlooking the land.

In the middle of this camp is the royal tent.

A huge laugh suddenly sounded in the big tent, and I saw Tong Yehu sitting on the main seat, looking at the generals who came from afar, and said loudly: "I have already made the situation of the Eastern Turks clear to you, it has now declined, and it is no longer worthy of sitting on the holy mountain of my Great Turks." ”

"We are the descendants of the wolf god, and the immortal heavens have blessed us with strong bodies and indestructible fighting spirit...... The war knife is our sharp teeth, the war horse is our wings, and the land that shines in the sun is our pasture... Warriors, wait until we have recaptured the treasure land of our ancestors and the sacred relics of our ancestors. Let's go south to feed! That's the only way to go! Conquer the Han people, destroy the Han people, and seize all the wealth and women that belong to them. Tongye Hu Khan's eyebrows showed an unconcealed anger, and loudly announced his power.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......!"

A Western Turk general tore his throat and let out a trombone like the roar of a beast.

In an instant, everyone howled.

"Great Khan, this is a good opportunity, we don't have the slightest worries now, we can take care of these traitors like Ashina, especially that Ashina Simo, he has been jumping very hard recently, and our small tribe in Pu Sea has been swept away by him, robbing us of many women and wealth!" A big man's eyes flashed with great anger and murderous intent.

Since the Great Sui Dynasty started the slave trade, directly causing the tribes under the rule of Jieli Khan to suffer, they were so frightened that they ran into the depths of the steppe, and Anassimo's men lost the source of slaves, so they glanced at the Western Turks, and they were even more unscrupulous and endlessly deprived. This one is the one who has fallen into bad luck.

His tribe was attacked by the bold Ashina Simo a few years ago, and there were no men, women and children left in the clan, and when I inquired, I learned that they were all sold to the Han people as slaves. Including his chief's father, mother, wife, concubine, son, and daughter, they don't know where to sell.

This person's experience has also been heard of by the Yehu Khan, but even though he is the Great Khan of the Western Turks, he is not omnipotent, and he can't help what happens to the general.

"I have confirmed that the Sui Dynasty has indeed mobilized Ashina Simo's army, as well as a large number of Sui troops, they are ready to attack Ashina Bush, and when they are both defeated, it will be our chance." Tongye Hu Khan said.

"Yes, as long as both are crippled, even if we only rely on our own forces, we can defeat the divided countries of the Central Plains, and when the time comes, the Central Plains will be the pastures of my Great Turks."

"The Great Khan should have been the rightful lord of the Great Turkic Khanate, but the old Khan was defeated by the traitor Qimin and the Sui Dynasty. That's why I temporarily retreated to the west, now it's time to take back everything, now that the Sui Dynasty is in decline, the Great Khan is eloquent, much stronger than the soft bones of Ashina, and will be able to lead everyone to create a glory beyond the Great Khan of Yili. ”

When Tongye Hu Khan heard this last sentence, his eyes flashed with a thick ambition, but he quickly reined in again, and he said solemnly: "That's what I said, but Yang Tong has never been defeated over the years, if he leads a large army to fight, we must also be careful, so now it is best not to help each other in the dispute between Ashina and Yang Dong!" ”

"Report!"

At this moment, a herald rushed in and shouted, "Great Khan! When the king of Xiliang heard that the Great Khan was coming, he came to pay a special visit. ”

"Haha!"

Tongye Hu Khan laughed proudly: "Li Liang, the king of Xiliang, first worshiped Shibi, and now he sees that the Eastern/Turkic is weak, so he comes like a fly in Xue. ”

The whole tent general burst into laughter.

"Great Khan, do you want to blow him away?" The herald asked.

"No!" Tong Yehu smiled: "The law of the jungle has always been the unchanging truth on the grassland, and it is understandable for Li Liang to vote for us, and with him like this, a traitor opens the way, which is also conducive to us entering the Central Plains." Quickly invite him in, be polite. ”

"Yes!"

"What are you doing with all the fierce gods? Don't frighten our distinguished guests, be gentle, take out the enthusiasm, heroism, and atmosphere of our grassland people, and be sure to get drunk with this Xiliang King. Tongye Hu Khan said with a smile to the generals.

"Haha!"

The Great Tent plunged into a sea of joy.

。。。。。。。。。

From Wuwei County, along the Macheng River all the way to the north, we arrived at Hutuze and Baitingze in the northern part of the Hexi Corridor.

These two large lakes are located in the northernmost part of Wuwei County, formed by the injection of the Macheng River formed by the melting water of the ice and snow of the Qilian Mountains, which is also caused by the special topography of the Hexi Corridor, the Qilian Mountains in the south are covered with ice and snow all year round, and a large number of springs after the melting of the glaciers in summer converge into hundreds of small rivers of all sizes to the grassland, nourishing the desert known as 'Tengger' today. Fortunately, today's 'Tengger Desert' is still a fertile prairie with fertile fields.

From this green prairie to the northwest march, is today's 'Badain Jaran Desert', here is still the grassland, countless lakes are like pearls inlaid on the grassland, the largest of which is undoubtedly the Juyan Sea of Zhangye County, these lakes on the Hexi Corridor are surrounded by abundant grass, the grassland is vast, once the largest horse farm in the Sui Dynasty, but also supported the powerful cavalry of the Sui Dynasty. Later, when the troubled times came, the world was divided into independent pieces, and the Central Plains could no longer obtain high-quality war horses, and Li Tang had been waging war against the Hexi region for many years, in order to control this fertile grassland controlled by Li Rail, hoping to obtain a steady stream of war horses from here and form a unique and powerful cavalry.

At this time, in the northwest direction of Juyanze, there was a large camp. The barracks tents are layered and scattered; A group of soldiers patrolling the camp of the Sui Army were full of spirit and orderly.

At the beginning, Yang Tong heard that the Eastern and Western Turks would join the alliance, so he began to formulate a plan to attack the Eastern Turks, using Anashi Simo and the Golden Wolf Head Daxu as bait to attract the main force of the Eastern Turks to the north of the Great Wall, and at the same time Wei Yunqi was the commander of the Southern Route Army, leading a group of young civil and military forces to launch the Liangzhou Campaign, recovering the most important Zhangye County of Li Rail in one fell swoop, compressing his territory in Dunhuang County and Yiwu County, and he was the commander of the Middle Route Army, leading 80,000 main forces to break into the core area of the Western Turks and disrupt it.

But Tong Ye Hu is even more cunning and has a greater appetite than Yang Tong imagined.

First of all, he did not participate in the Eastern/Turkic civil war because of the temptation of the Turkic 'heirloom jade seal' golden wolf-headed Daxu; Secondly, he gathered 250,000 heavy troops south of Jinshan and sat and watched the Eastern/Turkic war, just thinking that after the two brothers of Ashina and Ashnasimo of the Eastern/Turkic fought and lost both, he would take them away, and if his goal was achieved, the Eastern and Western Turks would once again merge into a unified Great Turkic Khanate.

Why did Yang Tong 'not do his job' and repeatedly clean up Jieli Khan? It is to prevent the emergence of the historical Jieli Khan and the historical Turks.

Jieli Khan was a very politically skilled tyrant, in history he made full use of the Central Plains internal fighting, for the Turks to seek the greatest interests, and after Li Tang dominated the world, he became a formidable behemoth, and then with absolute strength the Central Plains northern land ravaged for more than ten or twenty years.

Now after many years of operation by Yang Tong, Jieli Khan is temporarily unable to become stronger, but if the Western Turkic Khan is allowed to rule Ye Hu to unify the east and west, then his strength is more terrifying than the Jieli Khan in history, and it is simply a disaster for the Central Plains

Once he integrates the Eastern and Western Turks, it is inevitable to go south to the Central Plains, which integrates the power of the Eastern and Western Turks and the Western Regions, and is by no means something that only Yang Dong, who has half of the country, can defend.

If the princes of the Central Plains were like Li Yuan when they went south, and cooperated with the attack on the Great Sui in the south, Yang Dong's Great Sui would definitely die.

Therefore, a Turk who has been in chaos for a long time is more in the interests of Yang Tong. Yang Tong did not completely wipe out the Eastern and Western Turks as he did with the Khitan and Xi tribes. However, it is still possible to make the Turkic three sides equal in strength and attack each other, minus Yang Tong's worries.

The first step was to personally lead an army of 80,000 troops to the northwest of Juyanze, and elbow the Western Turkic Yehu Khan, who was two hundred miles away and attempted to advance eastward, so as not to take advantage of the eastern/Turkic civil strife; At present, it has been preliminarily achieved.

The second step is to weaken the strength of the Western Turks to the same level as Ashina and Ashina Simo, as long as their strength is equal, the three Turks can continue to have internal strife. This is also a crucial step that is extremely difficult to do, and it will only be reversed if it is defeated. But it also needs Qin Qiong to be able to end the war in time, otherwise, sooner or later, the other party will divide his troops and enter the Eastern Turks. And Yang Tong, who had only 80,000 troops, couldn't stop it.

"Your Highness!" While Yang Tong was thinking, Shen Guang, Luo Shixin, Wei Chigong, and Xue Wanche came together.

"Arranged for military affairs?" Yang Tong asked casually.

"Exactly!" The four generals answered.

Yang Tong looked at the sunset in the sky, and sighed with feeling: "Tong Yehu didn't follow our routine, he now has an army of 250,000 troops, and he is constantly drawing troops, and the pressure on our way is very great!" ”

"It's a bit more stressful, but Your Highness don't worry. The morale of our 80,000 soldiers is extremely high, and even if we really start fighting, we may not be able to win against Tongye Hu. Luo Shixin comforted.

Yang Tong smiled and said: "These 80,000 people are the starting force of my Great Sui, and they are also the most elite soldiers of the Great Sui, not to mention defeat, even if we win, how many people do you say we have left in the end?" ”

"I'm afraid it's not much!" Luo Shixin said uncertainly.

"It seems that you are also lacking in confidence!" Yang Tong smiled and said, "Now I only hope that Shubao will end the war quickly and be able to draw troops to support." ”

"Your Highness, the Southern Route Army has an army of 100,000 troops, which is really extravagant to deal with just one Li Rail. Now that Zhangye County has been fully recovered, according to the opinion of the last general, some troops can be transferred to help in the war! Shen Guang suggested.

A word woke up the person in the dream, Yang Tong's eyes lit up, he was really a pig brain.

"The Admiral agrees!" Wei Chigong immediately added: "The cavalry will go north along the weak water river from Fulu County, and it will only be a day or two to Juyanze. ”

"Send an eagle letter immediately, and let Pei Xingyan lead 20,000 elite cavalry to help, so that they can maintain their combat strength at the moment of battle." Yang Tong felt that he had miscalculated this time, and from the beginning of the deployment of troops, he made a big mistake of not separating priorities.

"Whoa!"
