This year, that is, the fourth year of Li Tang Wude, half of it has passed, and the Central Plains is still hesitating forward in the war.

The first to start the war was Xiao Mo and Lin Shihong in the south, in a few months, Lin Shihong was defeated one after another, and because of the southern climate, there was no cold winter for him to take a breather.

As a result, the fall of Lin Shihong is almost just around the corner, on the contrary, Xiao Mo will become the king of Jiangnan, according to Sun Quan's hometown, the day should not be far away.

In addition, Li Po and Li Tang also had a fierce battle at the beginning of the year, Li Tang was defeated, and the tentacles that stretched into the Jin land were completely cut off.

And Li Po, who had all the Jin land, immediately called the king of Han after stabilizing the territory of the Jin land, and officially entered the list of princes in the world.

During this period, Xiao Milling was still entangled with Li Tang in Kuizhou in Shuzhong, and Xiao Milling, who fought on both sides, was actually not comfortable, and at the same time, Wang Shichong led the army to attack Dou Jiande.

and Dou Jiande fought back and forth along the Yellow River, and no one took advantage, and these two were much more angry than others, and under the wanton killing, a blank space was created between Henan and Hebei.

Wang Shichong returned in vain, Dou Jiande was in the southern emperor Wang Shichong, but he personally led the army to attack Youzhou, and in May, Dou Jiande took Zhuo County, and the power expanded in the north of Hebei, and there will be all Hebei counties.

The Liang division in the northwest is close to Lingzhou and Li Tang Lingzhou governor, and Li Daozong, the prince of Luoyang County, confronted each other, even if the Liang division had the help of the Turks, and strategically had completed the encirclement of Lingzhou, but in terms of tactics, it was almost impossible to find the north by the brave and warlike Li Daozong.

Since last year, for more than half a year, Liang Shidu and Li Daozong have been in Lingzhou for dozens of stations, Li Daozong won a complete victory, almost single-handedly, preserved the entire territory of Lingzhou, and gradually forced Liang Shidu to retreat to Xiazhou.

This is undoubtedly a rising celebrity, and in fact, as Li Yuan's cousin, Li Daozong's life trajectory has also taken a turn, at the age of seventeen, he went out with Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to Xue Ju, and finally broke Xue Rengao, and then became the governor of Lingzhou.

So, he was supposed to go east with Li Shimin, but Lingzhou and Liang Shi collided early on, and bloomed with the light of his waist and eyes.

It can be said that among Li Yuan's brothers and nephews, when it comes to the ability to lead troops and the existing achievements, Li Shimin and Li Daozong should be the leaders, and the rest cannot be compared.

But in this year, in this vast world, the most dazzling name did not belong to the princes of the southern Sui land, and his name and surname appeared at the foot of the sacred mountain of the Turks.

His name was Ashnaqiuro, the son of the late Turkic Shibi Khan, and now the Western Khan of the Turkic Khanate.

This is the same young, but also equally ambitious, ambitious Turkic dignitary, since the year before last Ashina Yang Huan ascended the Turkic Khan, and then served as the Western Khan's Ashina Qiuluo.

First, he silently gathered his subordinates at the foot of the holy mountain, and married Ashina's daughter, that is, his cousin, and soon won the support of Ashina's old subordinates.

Ashinaqiura, who had gained a foothold a little, quickly quelled the Tiele Rebellion, and summoned the leaders of the Tiele tribes to re-establish the covenant on the banks of the Tula River.

In the last year of the steppe red dragon, the name of Ashina Qiuluo had begun to spread on the banks of the Tula River, and was recognized by the Turkic and Tiele nobles.

It was also at the end of the autumn of last year that the revived Western Turks led his troops to the east, preparing to return to the foot of the holy mountain, and then wanted to unify the Eastern and Western Turks.

The news soon reached the Turkic Khan's account, and Ashina Yanghuan, who had just led his troops back to Mobei, was sending troops to quell rebellions everywhere, and the feud in the north was also at war.

The Turks, who had suffered one after another, gradually lacked troops, but even so, Ashina Yanghuan still sent 5,000 attachments to reinforce Ashina Qiuluo.

In fact, in the course of a few years, the two behemoths of the north and south have experienced a process of extreme prosperity and sudden decline, and if you add Goguryeo in the east, that is, the three powerful empires on this continent have all gone downhill.

Because of geography, Goguryeo, which also ran out of blood under the city of Liaodong, has been struggling to survive, and the battles of the royal family have also risen one after another, and the so-called Goguryeo god of war has also been wiped out at this time, and the country is in chaos.

The chaos of the Great Sui was the most complete, and under the disintegration, where there were any eggs to play with, they were all shattered into one place.

The Turks were actually in the best situation, at least the Turks gave birth to a new khan, and tried their best to gather many tribes under one banner, and still had some strength to resist foreign humiliation.

At such a critical moment, Ashnajira injected a booster into the Turkic Khanate.

At the end of the autumn of the third year of Li Tang Wude, Ashina Qiuluo led 30,000 cavalry and the 100,000 troops of the Khan who came to fight in the southwest of the Turkic Holy Mountain.

Every nation will have heroes, and they often shine in difficult times, and this time, the synonym for heroes is Ashina Qiuluo.

The battle survived the cold winter and lasted until April of the following year.

Turkic warriors with the same blood flowing in their bodies, wielding scimitars, fought and chased across the vast grasslands, letting their blood spill all the way to the foot of the holy mountain.

It was undoubtedly an epic war, in which almost all the tribes of the Turkic Western Khan were involved.

The Tiele tribes, which belonged to the Eastern and Western Turks, also wielded sharp blades, and did not hesitate to slash at their fellow tribesmen, fighting hard for their respective masters, and dyeing the Tula River, the holy river in their eyes, red.

And this war, which has shed countless blood and sown countless hatred, finally came to an end in April.

The tribes led by the Khan of the Archery, who had traveled all the way without rest or adequate supplies, saw the white summit of the holy mountain in exhaustion, but their courage had been exhausted.

And Ashinaqiura, who has been dragging out the war until now, is also physically and mentally exhausted, but at this time he finally saw the dawn of defeating a strong enemy.

There was no strategy or tactics, and there was no need for those, Ashina Tyura just gathered all the forces he could muster and set up a decisive battle at the foot of the holy mountain.

At this time, there were only more than 2,000 people left around him, and half of the more than 20,000 cavalry he led were old men, women, and children who had not yet grown up.

But this did not affect their desire to survive, because they were led by a wise and tenacious commander, just like Ashina back then, who was worshiped by them as a god.

And Ashinaqiuluo, who has experienced two southern expeditions, has seen how tenacious and tenacious the Sui people are, and he has understood a truth in the failed war, no matter how strong the opponent is, there are weaknesses to be found, and no matter how weak he is, he also has advantages to rely on.

Eventually, he found the enemy's weaknesses and played to his strengths, and he firmly believed that victory in war always belonged to those who were resilient and tenacious.

The philosophy he learned in the war was crude, but he produced a terrible commander, who did not care about any casualties in order to achieve victory, even the holy mountain was dispensable in his eyes, and his obsessive pursuit of victory was almost unmatched in the world.

Unbeknownst to the Khan, he was on the path of defeat, and he was a qualified king and an excellent commander.

He already hated this enemy who pulled everyone into the whirlpool of war and turned everything he walked through into a battlefield.

Therefore, when he heard that the son of the dog who came out of the Turkic sweat tent was leading his army to fight him, he seemed to see the corners of the clothes raised by the goddess of victory.

So on a sunny and sunny day, the tired and furious Turks finally ushered in the most tragic day.

Almost as soon as the banner of the Khan appeared, Ashina Jiro led all his subordinates to launch a never-ending assault on the Khan's army.

The Khan and his men knew that the enemy of Ashina Qiura was extremely difficult, and in the two major decisive battles, he could lead his army to break through, and it was as difficult to catch as a fast hedgehog.

They were mentally prepared for a difficult decisive battle, but they still did not expect that the enemy would be so violent at such a time, when they should be dying.

A long distance that was almost the limit of the cavalry charge caused unforeseen confusion in the army of the Khan.

All the tactics that had been made before were useless in such a direct attack, and the galloping enemy, completely leaving behind the two cavalry that were hidden on the flank, ready to cut off their rear at any time, rushed directly towards the Great Gang of the Khan.

The fighting and screaming of the Turkic warriors, as well as the hoofs of the war horses, and the mournful screams of falling to the ground resounded through the heavens and the earth in an instant when the two armies came into contact.

With Ashina Qiura and more than 2,000 attached ions as their arrows, they galloped on horseback, cut off the horses of the enemies who seemed to be extremely flustered, galloped for more than ten miles, and crashed headlong into the Chinese army that shot the Khan.

In the blink of an eye, the once-seemingly impregnable army of the Khan had been crushed, and there was barely any decent resistance, and the battle banner of the Khan had been cut to the ground.

As a result, all the patience, casualties, and long and difficult wait paid off, and Ashnaqiuro led his army at the western foot of the Turkic Holy Mountain, completely defeated the Khan of Sheku, and the Khan fled westward.

That's not all, Ashina Qiuluo chased thousands of miles, chased into the Gobi in the west, and shot Ashina Heju, the eldest son of Kui Khan, before looking at the stretching desert, unwilling to hate and return......

After this battle, the name of Ashina Qiuluo spread throughout the Turks and shook the Western Regions, while the people in the south who were fighting each other still knew nothing.
