Chapter 374 Fatty

did not let Li Po wait too long, and two days after the Zhou army arrived at Huangqihai, the figure of the Turkic westward migration tribe appeared on a fairly vast grassland in the north of Huangqihai.

These were the direct tribes of the Eastern Khan Ashina Elivo, according to the rules of succession to the throne of the Turkic Khan.

After Ashina Eliver took over the throne of Khan, his tribe would gradually integrate into the main department of the royal court, which could not only continue to strengthen the power of the main Turkic army, but also bring fresh blood to the main Turkic department.

Then a new little khan was born, who would take some of the main tribes with them to rule their domains, and thus spread the majesty of the main tribe to the Turkic tribes.

This seems to be a reasonable cycle of power, that is, the Turkic aristocracy, who are still very enlightened, do not take bloodline too seriously.

Instead, it is constantly renewing the bloodline of the main Turkic tribe, so that every once in a while, they can regain some vitality.

At the same time, the new Khan, who succeeded to the throne, would also use his own clans to stabilize and consolidate his own power.

Of course, like many things, there are pros and cons, and while there are many benefits, there are also disadvantages, and this change of power is relatively sudden and violent, and the resulting strife and rebellion also occur from time to time.

The conservative Turkic aristocracy struggled to resist the encroachment of foreign tribes, unwilling to share power with newcomers.

The new tribes, with the support of the Khan, stripped the old nobles of their authority, and the power structure of the Turkic court was shaken by bloody killings and dark intrigues.

At this time, both the new and the old will become precarious, and this will also test the measurement of every Turkic khanate and his political skills.

The more successful example is actually in front of us, Qimin Khan and his son Shibi Khan, very successfully controlled their vassals, between the old and the new, did not make a big shock to the Turkic court.

In fact, this is the most successful manifestation of those who have great power, and balance and stability will always reflect the political IQ of those in power better than destruction and chaos.

Like this time, the westward migration tribe led by Ashina Boyu, the younger brother of the Eastern Khan Ashina Elivo, is part of the Turkic power cycle.

You have to ask Ashina Boyu how many tribes and how many people he brought.

Li Po found some vague answers.

The core of the Turkic Eastern Tribes should have more than 100,000 people, which is not slightly weaker than the Turkic Tribes, which is a clear proof of the power of the two little khans in the East and the West.

In the past few years of war in the Central Plains at the end of the Sui Dynasty, they have almost gained the strength to compete with the main Turkic forces.

These tribes can be roughly divided into two parts.

One is the main department of the Eastern Khan, which was derived from the royal tribe that Ashina Eliver brought to the East.

One is the tribe of Ashina Boyu, attached to the neighbor, and is already attached to the Khan, he is almost equivalent to the prime minister next to the little Khan.

After entering the royal court, he is a natural candidate for the royal court.

The two tribes, plus their subordinate tribes and slave tribes, are the Turkic eastern tribes that migrated westward this time.

Such a migrating team, walking and stopping on the grassland, is undoubtedly relatively slow.

The timing is about the right time, and they will enter the control of the Turkic court before winter comes.

And everywhere they went, they were all under the rule of the Eastern Khan, and the tribes along the way retreated one after another, and sacrificed cattle and sheep slaves, and some nobles took advantage of the situation to join them, and they have been growing the size of this team.

They occupy a vast area within a radius of tens of miles, grazing cattle and moving forward.

A few days earlier, they had significantly quickened their pace, for they, like Kruhu, had received an order from Ashina Elivo to hurry to the royal court as soon as possible and wait for the council to be convened.

But what makes people helpless is that Ashina Boyu can't move forward lightly like Kruhu.

There were not only hordes of warriors, but also many more old men, women and children, and the nobles wanted to go to the royal court first to flatter the new khan, but it was impossible for Ashina Boyu to leave these tribes behind and rush to the royal court alone.

Because the westward migration tribe led by him was the guarantee that could help his brother stabilize the throne, not the person who was Ashina Boyu.

The procrastination of the itinerary made Ashina Boyu a headache and full of helplessness.

His ears echoed with the complaints of the nobles.

Some were cursing the weather, some were anxious to get to the royal court as soon as possible to get a good seat, some were complaining about the hard work of the journey, and some were saying that the cattle and sheep that were in response to the growth of fat had lost weight.

In fact, everyone was anxious and irritable while rejoicing.

For they will become the speakers of the royal court, and they will not be left to know how much power and reward they will receive this year, and they will not be left unconcerned.

In fact, many of them were in a state of confusion, not knowing what they would encounter in the royal court and what enemies they would face.

This was not a wonderful situation, for after a few days, many of the slaves in the ranks died, and many were whipped by their masters and thrown to fend for themselves on the grassland.

Both the servants and the herdsmen became trembling at this time, but the anger of the nobles continued to rise.

………………………………

And in Huangqihai, Li Po was also a little uncomfortable.

This huge team is full of flaws, but it is scattered in a vast area of dozens of miles, which makes it difficult for people to speak.

News came from the west, and the Turkic royal court sent some people, and it is said that they were all stopped, but no one knew whether there were any fish that slipped through the net.

This must have been a warning to these Turkic tribes who had migrated westward.

Once the police signal is received, how many soldiers can be pieced together by more than 100,000 people?

This is undoubtedly a piece of fat with some bones, and it squeaks and squeaks with oil when you bite into it, as long as you don't get your teeth sucked.

No one would dislike such an enemy, and Li Po was no exception.

He gathered all the generals together, smiled and said to the generals who were gearing up: "I want the head of Ashina Boyu, over the years, we have defeated countless enemies, most of the time, we win more with less, this time, we have to bully the weak." ”

When the generals heard this, they all laughed.

A sense of pride arises spontaneously, who in the world can regard more than 100,000 Turkic tribes as weak? Only they, only the Daishu army can do this.

When the Great Sui was at its strongest, no one had ever led an army into the Turkic hinterland, and when they came, maybe one day, they would lead their troops to Mobei, and the Turkic tooth account would turn around.

And after this battle, there will be no one in the world who does not know the prestige of the Daizhou Army, and they will not doubt this.

"It's just that the enemy is too scattered, and it's a little difficult to start, so let's do it, the army is divided into three parts, Wei Chigong."

"The end will be."

"Take five thousand men and intercept them on the west side."

"Step group."

"The end will be."

"Take five thousand men and go east, from east to west, and attack them on their flanks."

"Pinch the head and remove the tail, Luo Shixin, Wang Zhibian."

"The end will be."

"Each of you will bring 3,000 men to the left and right flanks for me, and attack the midriff with my Chinese army."

Li Po knocked on his breastplate fiercely, and his voice turned higher, "This battle, the advantage is to solve it quickly, I want Ashina Boyu's head, I also want slaves, cattle and sheep, this battle in the north, how much harvest can be made, it depends on this battle." ”

Speaking of this, he laughed and said: "After this battle, no matter who the Turks choose to be the king of the Khan, it will be from prosperity to decline. ”

For a moment, there was the sound of thumping on the breastplate.

Bu Qun's dog-legged eyes lit up and said loudly: "The main merit is high, and I am just attached to the wing tail." ”

In mid-July, the Daizhou army left 1,000 soldiers in Huangqihai to guard cattle, sheep and prisoners of war, and the other parts were divided into three parts, leaving Huangqihai and heading north.

After the destruction of the Kru Protectorate, Ashina Boyu's department failed to get a warning from the direction of the royal court in time, which also determined the fate of these westward migration tribes.

The Daizhou Army failed to synchronize, and it didn't need to be.

The first to attack was Wei Chi Gong's department, 5,000 cavalry, head-on into this westward migration team, brutal continuous assault, the Turkic corpses killed everywhere they passed, scattered and fled, there was no time to gather enough soldiers to meet the enemy The Turks were directly defeated.

Wei Chigong was not greedy, and quickly led the cavalry to continue to break through to the north, cutting off the boss of the front part of the Turks.

When half a day later, when the Turks were gathering more and more warriors and preparing to meet the enemy to the west, Li Poqin led a large army to penetrate the enemy's heart.

The first blow was unprepared for the Turks, and when the second blow came, the Turks were equally defenseless.

The army swept through, and it took a lot of effort to gather the Turkic tribes, and led more than 10,000 Turkic warriors to chase Ashina Boyu behind Yu Chigong, and when he heard that he was hit hard by the enemy again, he finally couldn't help roaring angrily, and with a knife, he cut off the person who reported the news under the horse, and led the army to turn back.

This headless fly-like behavior shows that this is not a general who leads a large army in battle.

In the evening of this day, the embarrassed Turkic tribe completely lost the best opportunity to resist, and the Bu Qun came fiercely at the tail where it had already fallen.

The Turks completely collapsed, and the surviving people, at the onset of night, mounted their war horses and fled aimlessly and frantically to the steppe, throwing corpses everywhere, and helpless women, children, cattle and sheep and horses.

Early the next morning, with the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, the Daizhou army returned to this messy battlefield, and what awaited them was the last battle, thousands of remnants led by Ashina Boyu.

He didn't run away, the stupid man did the last stupid thing, he completely and completely buried the last bit of Ashina Eliphor's family.
