Five miles to the north of the main field of the Sui and Tutu wars, a large number of Turkic cavalry gathered, full of 150,000 or 60,000 horses, with strong prestige, iron armor, banners fluttering, and dignified killing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Turks are a mixed people, not a single race, originated in the east of the West Sea (now the Aral Sea), belong to the Caucasian race and the yellow and white mixed race, is the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Rouran and another important nomadic people, generally burly, tall and strong, good at riding and shooting, unruly, constantly migrating to the east, successively breaking Tiele, defeating Rouran, and gradually conquering the vast land between the Great Khing'an Mountains and the Caspian Sea, becoming the most powerful master of the steppe.

However, in the early years of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui and Changsun Sheng set a counter-plan, the Turks were divided into two parts, the east and west, with the Altai Mountains as the boundary, this Dabu Jia Khan, formerly known as Datou Khan, is the lord of the Western Turks, but after the eastern Turkic lord Qimin Khan took refuge in the Great Sui, Dulan Khan died again, and he unified the east and west by force, and integrated into one again.

Now, Bujia Khan reconquered all the tribes of the steppe and returned to Shun, and coerced the small states of the Western Regions, providing them with war horses and troops, forming a cavalry army of more than 300,000 to attack the northwest frontier of the Great Sui.

However, the forces of some small states in the Western Regions were mostly used to contain the Sui army in Yangguan, and the real Turkic main force was hovering in the northern part of Yumen Pass, eyeing the tiger, always ready to go south to tear through Yumen Pass, all the way south, attack the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the troops were in the pass.

Bujia Khan's full name is Ashina Sulp, the son of the founder of the Western Turks, about early 40 this year, with a high nose and a broad face, a burly figure, sharp and deep eyes like an eagle, sitting on a nine-foot-tall sweaty and bloody horse, wearing a tiger fur velvet brocade robe, wearing gold leaf armor on his chest, and shining golden armor all over his body, he stared ahead, not knowing how the fierce battle of the army in front of him was.

Behind him, there were many Turkic tribal chieftains, princely ministers, military chiefs, etc., whose names were transliterated as Atag (tribal chief), Tabok (general soldier), Ordabash (minister), Tarhan, Kholifa, and so on. The marching establishment refers to some of the old systems of the Xiongnu, such as the king of the left and right valleys, Ye Hu, the general, the big captain, the big danghu, the bone marquis, as well as the commander of the thousand, the centurion, the chief, etc.

However, the Turkic army also has its own specialities, such as the large army is divided into three types: Eagle Division, Leopard Division, and Tiger Division, and the Eagle Division is a general army led by the confidants and generals of many tribal leaders, and it is a regular army that is gathered in the temporary period, including Tiele, Servant Bone, Rouran, Hu Ren, etc., with a large number of people.

The leopard division is an elite division, selected by some of the most core royal tribes of the Western Turks, without foreigners, and is the main force of the Western Turks in the southern and northern wars, with a number of between more than 100,000 and 200,000, but it cannot be completely taken out of the grassland, and a part of the town is needed to guard the royal court, so it can only carry 70,000 or 80,000 people out, but they are all elite people.

As for the tiger division, it is the Khan's personal guard, with only more than 20,000 people, the strongest combat effectiveness, the elite of the elite, equivalent to the forbidden army of the Central Plains royal family, generally does not charge into battle, mostly follows the Khan's side to protect safety, unless the Khan fights, they will follow the rush to kill, but everyone is a warrior in a hundred.

"National Teacher, do you say that the Great Sui Infantry Army Formation can block the impact of the 100,000 Eagle Division Iron Cavalry?" Bukya Khan asked a young man in his twenties, dressed in a rich brocade robe, gentle and elegant, with a thin face and a glint in his eyebrows, named Gar Dongzan, a young genius in Tibet.

He is well-read and strong-remembered, proficient in Tibetan, Turkic, Western Regions, Central Plains, Tuyuhun language, etc., at the age of 16 traveled to the plateau, last year in the Tuyuhun prince's mansion as a guest, was recommended into the royal family to participate in the banquet, just Bujia Khan personally toured Tuyuhun, met this genius young man, so he was named a national teacher, brought back to the grassland, gave advice, and had a new strategy for this Sui war.

Gar Dongzan gave himself a Chinese name, that is, Lu Dongzan, and replied with a smile at this time: "It's hard to say, the Sui army was forced to fight with our army on the grassland this time, and it has lost its geographical advantage and opportunity, it is a great opportunity for us to encircle and annihilate this Sui army, as long as we annihilate these more than 100,000 horses, cause heavy casualties to the Sui army, deter the Great Sui, and go south in the future, it will be invincible!" ”

Bujia Khan sighed: "There is a national teacher who gives advice to deal with the Sui army, and this king is much more handy!" In the past, the Great Wall defense line in the Wuyuan area was helpless, and the attack on the Xiongguan fortress suffered a lot. ”

Lu Dongzan said with a smile: "This time, we continue to send troops to harass the border, and wait for work, that is, let the Sui army continue to come to the border to fight, and the grain and grass alone and the source of soldiers can drag down the Great Sui!" ”

Bujia Khan nodded and said: "This plan is very good, the Great Sui has been fighting for twenty years, the soldiers are well-fed, well-trained, and well-equipped, it is indeed not something that can be defeated overnight, if it can continue to encroach and swallow the main force of the Sui army little by little, it can consume the national strength of the Great Sui State."

Lu Dongzan is gentle and elegant, with a handsome face, a tall body, and proud talent, although he pretends to be natural and easy-going, but between the corners of his eyes, you can still see the arrogance that is above the top.

Lu Dong Zan Shun said: "What the Khan said is extremely true, the Great Sui has been established for more than 20 years, inherited the system of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the national strength has been boiling over the years, and the reserves of several large granaries are said to be enough for decades, but according to the people I sent into the Sui to investigate, I found that the people are still poor, once there is a locust plague and drought in a certain place, hundreds of thousands of people will starve to death. ”

"This Great Sui seems to be extremely strong, but in fact, it has intensified the looting of the people, not giving the people enough surplus food, the people's savings are thin, so there are many drawbacks, as long as we wait for foreign forces, continue to harass the Great Sui, let him be tired of military affairs, it will not take a few years, the people are unbearable to conscription, and then there will be a year of disaster, internal and external troubles, the Great Sui itself will collapse in an instant, the civil foundation is too thin, and it will definitely not be passed on to the third generation!"

"Isn't that the same as the Central Plains dynasties of the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, and Northern Qi, with only a few decades of life?" It was the first time for Bujia Khan to hear such an assertion, and he felt a little unbelievable, after all, the Great Sui unified the Central Plains, the north and the south were integrated, and the national strength was much stronger than that of the Northern Zhou, Western Wei, and Southern Chen periods, how could it not be passed on to the third generation?

Lu Dongzan's eyes were firm, and he seemed to see this, and nodded: "Of course, this refers to Emperor Wen's continued implementation of such a national policy, if the successor does not see the suffering of the common people, as well as the disadvantages of the system, and continues to increase the looting, thinking that the treasury is full, it will be a great success, and launch a foreign war, then the Great Sui is not far from decline, this is the opportunity given by God to the grassland and my Qinghai-Tibet land, only the Central Plains is in turmoil, and our nomadic tribes in the bitter cold land have the opportunity to develop and grow." ”

Bujia Khan's mind came alive, he couldn't see through these fundamental contradictions in society, he just felt that the Great Sui was powerful and difficult to deal with.

But whether it is Beidi or Xirong ethnic minorities, they all live in the bitter cold land between the grassland and the desert, and they have coveted the fertile land of the Central Plains for a long time.

At this moment, the cavalry with a message rushed back and reported loudly: "Khan, the Great Sui army has been defeated and is retreating, King Gu Li and Ye Hu asked the Khan to increase his troops and encircle and annihilate the Sui army in one fell swoop!" ”

When the Buga Khan heard this, he was ecstatic and laughed, and he jumped off his horse, half-knelt on the ground, opened his arms to the sky, and shouted excitedly: "This is the sky Tengri helping me!" Order, Leopard Division strikes! ”
