Chapter 309: Let's talk about it when it hurts
After retreating forty miles, the Turki Khan sent people to gather his troops, and in the following count, he found that he had lost nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses.
For the Sui army, in a major war of this scale, such losses were not too much.
But not the Turks.
They have a low population base.
The timely loss of 10,000 people, according to the proportion, is equivalent to the loss of more than 100,000 yuan of the Sui army.
And what made Tuli even more depressed was Liu Wen.
As long as there is this person, he will be able to command the battle.
The sun is setting and twilight is falling.
Liu Wen left the camp single-handedly.
The task of 'Shocking the Thief Chieftain' is still not complete.
Liu Wen is going to give the other party a one-man horse to step on the enemy camp tonight, so that the Tuli Khan can continue to be refreshed.
This is a grassland terrain, not only is there no trees, but the terrain is extremely open and flat.
In the whining cold wind, Liu Wen galloped wildly, without any obstacles, and soon saw the light of the fire in the Turkic camp.
Because of the many things in the army, they are only now starting to prepare dinner.
Arrived near the enemy village.
Liu Wen shouted and urged the horse to speed up and run.
The chestnut-skinned yellow tiger has been strengthened, and various indicators have already surpassed ordinary war horses, not to mention war horses, in terms of strength, it has surpassed several elephants.
At this moment, it accelerated to the extreme, kicked its hind hooves, flew out more than ten meters, jumped over the fence antlers, and rushed straight into the enemy village.
The Turkic people who were cooking on the fire nearby were so shocked that they only thought that the gods had descended, and they shouted in a panic.
Liu Wen galloped wildly without any scruples, galloping back and forth, and anyone who blocked it was either cut down or picked up, and the entire Turkic village was disturbed by him alone.
Many Turkic soldiers only thought that the Sui army had killed again, and scattered in panic one by one.
It's different from the Sui army.
These Xiongnu soldiers and horses are a collection of people and horses from various tribes.
When they went south to loot together, they behaved very well like a pack of wolves.
But now that I have fought against the wind, I need to escape, and my original weakness has been infinitely magnified.
Many soldiers belonging to one tribe did not hesitate to do anything to their comrades from other tribes in order to escape smoothly.
Because Liu Wen's unscrupulous rush to kill, it caused great pressure on this group of Turks.
There were more and more cases of cannibalism, which eventually turned into a feud between several tribes.
Liu Wen didn't expect such an effect, he rushed all the way to the core of Dazhai, and found that there was no one in the big tent of the Chinese army, laughed and continued to rush out to kill, until the east, west, north and south killed three back and forth, and then left Dazhai on horseback.
At this time, the shouts of killing in the village continued, and the infighting of several tribes entered a white-hot state.
Confirming that there was no danger, Tuli hurriedly mediated the conflict, and it was not until dawn the next day that all the riots in the army were suppressed.
The almost sixty-year-old man had not slept all night, and at this time he already felt a little mentally exhausted.
Thinking that it was only Liu Wen who was making trouble last night, and the Sui Dynasty army might attack again at any time, his heart was full of uneasiness.
At the same time, several tribal leaders who still had strength, in order to preserve the strength of their tribes, also had the intention of retreating, so they began to speak to Tuli.
"Great Khan, the Sui army has already prepared, let's withdraw."
"Yes, then Liu Wen, the king of the Song Dynasty, is too powerful, he doesn't need a second move to kill the generals, if we continue to fight him, we will only let Goguryeo and the Western Turks take advantage."
As he was talking, suddenly someone outside the tent shouted: "Report !! ”
"Come in!" Tuli shouted, and when the shouting scout entered the tent, he asked, "What happened again?" ”
"I don't know when Zhang Xutuo led 100,000 troops and suddenly appeared on the way we came."
When the scout finished speaking, there was an uproar in the tent.
Liu Wen is already difficult enough to deal with, and Zhang Xutuo has cut off the back road, how should this battle be fought?
"Alas!"
Tuli sighed and said, "Now that the matter is over, there is no way, ask for peace with the Great Sui." Who of you would like to be a messenger? ”
All the tribal leaders bowed their heads and said nothing.
There is nothing they can do with them.
If you want to get the support of these people in the future, you can't be too them.
Tuli first gave the leaders a step: "Forget it, then Liu Wen is Yang Guang's son-in-law, who can fight habitually, and is deeply favored by Yang Guang, and was named the king of Song at a young age, and his status is above many kings with different surnames." Don't say it's you, even if I go, he may not be able to buy it. ”
"yes, it's still Khan who thinks it through."
"This kind of young man is not easy to listen to persuasion."
At this time, a leader proposed: "Great Khan, it is better to send mountain lion camels and sticky forces to stabilize Liu Wen first, and at the same time send an envoy to meet the Great Sui Emperor and ask the Great Sui Emperor for peace." ”
Tuli was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay! That's it! ”
On the morning of the same day, Tuli Bian sent mountain lion camels and sticky to meet Liu Wen.
At the same time, he personally wrote a letter, saying that he went south this time to help Yang Guang attack Goguryeo, because he did not restrain his soldiers, so since they entered the Sui realm, they would steal the people's things and ask the Sui Dynasty emperor for forgiveness.
A few days later, Yang Guang received the letter and sneered after reading it.
'These shameless things really dare to say any nonsense! Is this a fool?! ’
After reading the letter, Yang Guang handed it to Changsun Sheng and said, "Look at it, this Tuli Khan, his skin is already thicker than the city wall." ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely make them pay a huge price this time!"
"It's up to you to go out, I naturally rest assured, before going to meet them, you go to Liu Wen's first, inform him, and let him help if necessary."
"Yes!"
After Changsun Sheng received the order, he led his entourage to gallop wildly, and a few days later came to Liu Wen's army, and according to Yang Guang's will, he gave Liu Wen a handwritten letter.
For this eldest grandson, Liu Wen is also full of curiosity.
After all, his daughter is Li Shimin's favorite eldest grandson, and his son is the eldest grandson Wuji, the prime minister who is deeply trusted by Li Shimin.
Changsun Sheng is in his fifties this year.
Liu Wen's understanding of him, that is, knowing that his eldest son, Changsun Xingbu, was originally Yang Liang's person, and almost rebelled with Yang Liang. Fortunately, the eldest grandson Sheng had a vision and pulled the eldest son back in time, so that he did not cause a big disaster to the family.
His daughter has made a marriage contract with Li Shimin, but after Li Shimin's family was demoted to Jiangnan, the marriage contract will not end.
Through chatting with Liu Wen, he learned that the eldest grandson Sheng had five sons, and the eldest grandson Wuji was the fifth. Except for the eldest son, none of the other four sons became officials.
In fact, not to mention his children, Changsun Sheng himself is a very powerful person, he is both civil and military, and his eloquence is often good.
This time, he will come out, coupled with his own military deterrence, Tuli Khan will not take advantage of it, don't think about it this time!
