Chapter Thirty-Eight: There Is No Way Back

"Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the four wildernesses. The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep! ”

This song is sung in Mobei, which Hu people don't know the fat beauty of Eilechuan?

Such a fertile land was first occupied by the Xianbei people, and then occupied by the Turks, and the rest of the Hu people could only look at the green grass and cattle and sheep on the Eile River from afar, dreaming of being able to graze on this land!

The main purpose of Xue Yantuo's dispatch to Monan this time was to make peace with the Tang Dynasty and encroach on the Eilechuan from the hands of the Eastern Turks!

If the Elechuan is in hand, I am afraid that the entire Xueyantuo Khanate will be able to go crazy for it, and who will blame Dadu for the defeat?

Not only can it not be blamed, but it is still a great credit.

Dadu's scarred heart was a little lively, and he looked around, but he sighed again.

He wanted to occupy Dingxiang City, but these soldiers in front of him were all listless, and his war-weariness had already been overflowing, so he just wanted to return to Mobei quickly, where did he have the morale to go to Dingxiang City with him?

If the order is forcibly given, I am afraid that if we go halfway, the team will disperse......

Xue Yantuo's cavalry is strong, but there is basically no military discipline at all, every time there is a war, men are recruited from various tribes to form a large army, of which less than half of the soldiers of Xue Yantuo's own tribe, if it is good when it is victorious, everyone rushes up to burn and loot, but when there is adversity, the cohesion is too poor.

Dadu dared to assert that if he insisted on going to Dingxiang City at this moment, someone would turn around and leave on the spot.

That's it......

Dadu set a long sigh and looked frustrated: "The military heart is like this, what can I do about it?" Let's bypass Dingxiang City, go straight to Baidaokou, cross Baidao, and return to Mobei. ”

He knew that all his ambitions had vanished in this battle, and after returning to the Mobei Ya Tent, he would face him with a severe punishment from his father Khan, and from now on, he would be a shame for Xue Yantuo with generosity, and there would be no chance of getting into the Khan's throne.

Youqu Shuai was slightly stunned and asked, "What about our big camp?" ”

Xue Yantuo's camp is still in the north of Dingxiang City, and the Dumo branch is stationed there waiting for everyone to go back.

The Tang army, which followed after them, easily surrounded the Damo Zhi in the camp......

Dadu said helplessly: "Lu Mozhi is my brother, how can I be willing to see him surrounded by the Tang army?" But looking at everyone's state and physical strength, if you make a detour to Dingxiangcheng Beibeiying, where will you have the strength to get rid of the Tang army's pursuit and retreat to Baidaokou? Rather than everyone annihilating the whole army together, it is better to go their own way, send someone to send a message to the Ruma branch, and the rest will be determined by heaven. ”

The words are relaxed, but the implication is to abandon the Dumo branch and let it become a bait to attract the Tang army and help the army get rid of the pursuit of the Tang army......

This thing is not authentic, but it is at stake in his own life, where can the Qu Shuai present say anything to refute?

Come and go, whether you are dead or alive, you can ask for more blessings......

I don't dare to say much.

At the moment, not only is it magnanimous to set up, there is no desire to win and reverse the defeat, these Qu Shuai are even more killed, everyone just wants to go back to Mobei quickly, and then push the responsibility of defeat to Dadu, go back to their own homes, and find their mothers.

I only hated myself for listening to Zhao Deyan's words, and instigated Dadu to go deep into the Tang Realm, although it caused Dadu to set up a loss of soldiers, but he didn't get any benefits when he returned to the Iron Cavalry, and the battle was nearly half damaged, and he couldn't breathe in pain......

Dadu tightened the cloak on his body, and the arrow wound at the shoulder blade had caused half of his body to be numb, if he couldn't find a warm and clean place to bandage and sort out the wound, his life would be confessed. Defeat is shameful, but in the end, you have to die, right?

As the son of the Yinan Khan, even if he can no longer lead the army and touch the position of the Khan, the beauties of the various tribes on the grassland still have to enjoy it themselves......

"Let's go, hurry to Baidaokou in case something changes!"

"No!"

More than 20,000 Xue Yantuo cavalry, who were killed by the Tang army's Mo knife array, under the leadership of Dadushe, gathered the troops and fled all the way north on the reckless snow field at night, intending to arrive at Baidaokou, and then cross Baidao to return to Mobei to recuperate.

There were few cold stars in the sky, and the snow had stopped, but the howling north wind blew across the unstoppable field, sweeping the snow low and flying, raging unscrupulously.

*****

As long as he returned to Baidaokou, the situation would be under the control of Dumozhi, and he could attack and retreat and defend, and he was invincible.

He has a calm personality, is usually very low-key, and does not have a strong sense of presence in the khanate.

But that doesn't mean that he has a worse mind than others......

On the contrary, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger and developing obscene is the purpose of the Dharma.

There is no doubt that Yinan Khan is the male lord of Xue Yantuo, and it is under the strong hand of Yinan Khan that Xue Yantuo can unite the Tiele tribes, ascend to the position of the leader of the alliance, and replace the invincible Eastern Turks when they were overthrown by the Tang Dynasty, and become the overlord of the grassland.

All the people of Xue Yantuo benefited from this, and the Khan of Yinan was solid and unshakable.

However, just as the historical heroes of the Han people were high-spirited and ambitious when they were young, but in their later years they were indulged in pleasure and stupid, and in recent years, the Yi Nan Khan has gradually become self-righteous and violent, which has caused dissatisfaction among the Tiele tribes.

But the male lord is the male master, and no matter how dim he is, he also has an insight into the world that is difficult for others to reach.

It was precisely because of the dissatisfaction of the Tiele tribes, and even the disobedience of some tribes such as the Hui Hui and other tribes that were about to move, and the Yinan Khan was unwilling to suffer from the interference of these tribes when he established his own prince, so he sent Dadu to lead tens of thousands of troops out of Baidao and go south to Dingxiang, intending to threaten the Tang Dynasty to agree to peace and use the power of the Tang Dynasty to deter internal disobedience.

However, Dumozhi understands that the intention of the Yinan Khan is to "threaten the Tang Dynasty to agree to make peace", and the Chen soldiers can do it at the border, if the situation is favorable, it is naturally ideal to take the opportunity to encroach on the Elechuan, but it is absolutely impossible to start a frontal war with the Tang Dynasty!

is still counting on the power of Datang to suppress internal disobedience, how can he offend Datang?

Once the two countries go to war, no matter whether they win or lose, all forces within Xue Yantuo will inevitably refuse to let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they will jump out one after another to resist the rule of Yinan Khan.

There is the Tang Dynasty outside, and there are no ministers inside, the Xue Yantuo Khanate may not move, and the Yinan Khan is not so easy to be ousted from power, but the battle for the storage position must be unpredictable.

A low-key person may not be without ambition, and he must ensure that his strength is intact, and then return to the tent, waiting for the change of the battle for the storage position, waiting for the opportunity to move.

"Qu Shuai, I'll be at Baidaokou soon!"

A scout rode his horse and reported the military situation to the Lama branch: "Do you want to camp on the spot and wait for the second prince, or cross the white road overnight and return to Mobei?" ”

Dadu set up to go on the expedition on the order of the Khan, but he was the commander, abandoning the boss and returning to Mobei on his own, what is the difference between escaping from the battle?

Even if Lama is now eager to grow his wings and fly back to the tent of Yu Overseer's mountain......

Shaking his head, he said: "Don't worry, after all, you have to wait for the second prince to return north together, order to go down, and after arriving at Baidaokou, you will be stationed on the spot and make a fire." ”

"No!"

The scout rode away and hurried to the front army to deliver orders.

Riding on his horse, he slowly followed the march of the army, looking back at the south, his heart full of longing.

He really expects that Da Du will be able to be tougher and more domineering, and after catching up with the Turks, he will kill them cleanly, and then attack Yanmen Pass directly!

Of course, he didn't think that this cousin would be so bold, and if he had another cousin, Bazhuo, he might have done such a thing.

It's not that the courage of Bacao is far more than magnanimous, but that Bazhuo is violent and cruel, and he has a tendon......

As for the merit of the massacre of the Turks?

Omachi disagreed.

Tianda's merits are not comparable to the crime of going deep into the territory of Datang and destroying the relationship between Xue Yantuo and Datang!

What's more, the Tang army has always been arrogant, treating the Hu people on the grassland as if they were nothing, how could they watch Dadu set up to go deep into the border to hunt down and kill allies and ignore them?

If the Tang army is provoked to war, it will be the most perfect......

He was already imagining how shocked and frightened the Tooth Tent of Yu Du Jun Mountain would be if the two countries went to war, how the situation would become, and how complicated and uncertain the battle for the storage position would be.

Looking back, the majestic figure of Daqingshan in front of him was crawling under the night.

There is a conspicuous gap in the middle of the mountain beam that towers like the back of heaven and earth, and there is a passage that the heavens have given to the Mobei Hu people to cross the Yinshan Mountain Range......

A terrible cry was faintly heard in the howling north wind, which made the face of the horseback change greatly.

"What's going on?"

Glaring at the scouts who had come to report back, Lama asked loudly.

The scout trembled on his horse, and said in a panic: "Back to the Qu Shuai, the Tang army has already captured Baidaokou from nowhere, and all the garrisons we stayed here in advance have been killed, and now the Tang army is in Baidaokou, we can't get through......"

Rumach's face turned pale.
