Qinghai Hunan, on the banks of the Yellow River.

In the city of tree stumps, come and stand in front of the army in the city to review.

It was almost dusk, and all the soldiers of the army had already eaten a full meal, and at this time they were dressed and stubborn, ready to go.

Come and stand in front of the army with a big lance in his hand.

"I have been waiting for the garrison here for more than a month, and there has been no battle. Many soldiers and soldiers were already dissatisfied, believing that the great general Luo Siye and 90,000 soldiers and civilians had been trapped in Dafeiling for several months, but our troops stopped and refused to come to the rescue. ”

"I admired the King of the West Sea very much, and I have no personal grudges against the General King. The garrison is not advancing, that is because the imperial court has a more comprehensive consideration, this time the imperial court mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and requisitioned nearly one million people, is it just to rescue the general of the heir? No, we have to teach those thieves who dare to provoke my Datang a hard lesson. ”

During this time, General Siye's lone army insisted on the Dafei Ridge, and General Cheng Yanjin broke the Western Turkic Army in Dunhuang and Yiwu in Hexi. General Qin Qiong fought several battles with the Western Turkic Commander Ye Hu in Fu Qi City, and even General Wei Chi also fought with Murong Ke's uncle and nephew several times in Mantou City, and we are the only ones who always sit here empty. ”

"But today, we finally had a chance to strike. Your Majesty has a decree, and the Privy Council has issued an order to transfer our army to war. Tonight, our army will go out of the city to fight, raise troops for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while, can we wait for a long time to recuperate? ”

Several generals and lieutenants took the lead in shouting, "Yes, yes, yes!" ”

Lai Cheng is very satisfied with this morale, the big guy has been holding back for so long, even he has asked for countless orders to fight, but he has not been able to get permission, and now there is finally a military order issued for them to attack.

A few months have passed, and now the situation of war in the entire west has been quietly reversed.

Before, it was the Western Turks, Tubo, and Tuyuhun who suddenly attacked and attacked, and Daqin was a little caught off guard, especially since he had no plan to fight a big war.

But Da Qin had no intention of fighting a big war, but he was not afraid of a big war, even if the battle of Tuyuhun was provoked by Tang Jian's own initiative and went deep with the heir's disregard for military orders, which led to some passivity at the beginning.

But with such a huge size of the Central Plains Empire, once the war machine is fully activated, its potential is huge.

Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, and Lai Cheng each led an army and stationed in Fuqi City, Mantou City, and Shudun City in Qinghai, firmly stabilizing the situation in Tuyuhun and blocking the first wave of the combined forces of the Western Turks and Tuyuhun Murong Ke's uncle and nephew.

The war was stopped outside the right border of Great Qin and Long.

The continuous transfer of grain, grass and ordnance in the rear of Great Qin also made the Qin army completely gain a foothold in Tuyuhun and use this time to build a solid defense line.

The three major fortresses were the fulcrum, and then more than a dozen fortresses and camps were built around them, blocking the possibility of the enemy army attacking the Qin realm.

The Qin army held the first wave, and the next thing was naturally to counterattack.

There are enough soldiers, sufficient food and grass, sufficient ordnance, and even the places west of the Longyou River have built a second line of defense and replenished more soldiers in place.

When all this is done, it is natural to fight back.

Cheng Yanjin of the Northern Road was the first to win, and hit the Western Turks several hard punches in a row, defeated the vanguard of the Northern Road, destroyed its Yiwu vassal state, restored the Yiwu County of Sui, seized the northern gate into the Western Regions, and directly threatened the Khan's court of the Western Turks.

In addition, the steppe vassals such as Tiele and Khitan also began to transfer troops to the west, forcing the Khan to start defending the large army he sent.

In this situation, the 100,000 Western Turkic troops who had already come over in Tuyuhun have become fewer and fewer.

The Privy Council promptly ordered to find a way to delay the retreat of the Western Turkic Army and prevent them from returning to reinforce the Western Regions.

Qin Qiong had already taken the initiative to attack, no longer blindly holding on to the city of Fuqi, and attacked the Western Turkic Army several times, winning several small victories and killing thousands of enemies.

Now it's their turn to strike.

After recuperating for a long time, this one has not yet fought, and they are screaming one by one.

In the twilight, Lai led 24,000 soldiers and horses to attack, and only some county soldiers and auxiliary soldiers were left behind in Stump City.

All the way to the southwest.

To the southwest, it was the army of Murong Ke's uncle and nephew, as well as the soldiers and horses of Murong Ke's father-in-law, King Tianzhu, the three of them joined forces with 100,000 troops, and they had been besieging Mantou City before, trying to take this important village in Hunan, Qinghai, in order to completely cut off the connection between the Qin army and the army of Dafeiling.

It's just a 100,000-strong army put together by three people, which is really watery.

Previously, the Western Turks had been attacking the city of Fuqi and helped them share the huge pressure, but their 100,000 people beat the army of more than 20,000 people of Wei Chi Gong, but they couldn't defeat it, and they also lost a lot of soldiers and horses.

Now the Western Turkic army on the side of Fu Qi City has been constantly withdrawn, and it has turned from offensive to defensive, and even the defense is almost impossible to hold.

Murong Ke, who already called himself the Great Khan, was very restless.

This battle has been fought for several months, and for the nomadic Tuyuhun people, it is unbearable to fight for a few months in a row.

Especially in order to win as soon as possible, Murong Ke and the others brought over all the young men and women of their respective tribes who could be pulled to the battlefield, but they couldn't win for several months, and the evil consequences were also emerging.

The young and strong people can't go to shepherd, can't go hunting, sit around the city of the Qin people every day and eat the mountains, the cattle and sheep eat groups after groups, watching the weather from spring to summer, and from summer to autumn, still no results.

"The Western Turks are withdrawing."

"How could they retreat at this time? At the beginning, I agreed with the Khan that the three would attack Qin together, and after the matter was completed, they would have to get Hexi Shuofang, and I would have Longyou, why should they retreat now? Murong Ke was furious.

"It is said that there was a civil strife in Gaochang, the Qin army entered Gaochang, and the Tiele army came east, and the Khan was already too busy to take care of himself."

Gaochang is in the northwest of Yiwu, and its strength is very strong among the countries of the Western Regions.

In the emperor, Gaochang was attached to the Sui courtiers, leading the Turks to lead troops to break through the city of Gaochang, after the city, the Turks supported the pro-Turkic prince of Gaochang to succeed to the throne, and the Western Turkic Datou Khan also married his daughter to the king of Gaochang.

Since then, Gaochang has been attached to the Western Turks, after the death of the king of Gaochang, the Turks made their son Lu Boya succeed to the throne, in order to control the Kou Boya, the Turks made him marry the daughter of his stepmother Datou Khan according to Turkic customs.

Koji was born in Xiping, Liangzhou, the family has been influenced by Confucian culture for generations, Koji Boya has learned Han culture since childhood, and it is difficult to accept the Turkic step-marriage system and marry a stepmother, but under the pressure of the Western Turks, he can only endure humiliation and obedience, but the seeds of resistance are planted in his heart.

In the fifth year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang inspected the Western Regions, and Lu Boya, who had been secretly in contact with the Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains, immediately led the kings of the 27 Western Regions to kneel in Zhangye to greet the emperor of the Central Plains.

Yang Guang was also very happy with his submission, and canonized the daughter of the Yuwen clan as Princess Huarong, gave him a marriage to Lu Boya, and gave him the title of Zuo Guanglu Doctor and Cheshi Taishou.

After returning to Gaochang from Zhangye, Lu Boya immediately carried out reforms, so that the people of the country were unbraided and sharpened, and the general government was greatly improved.

At that time, the Western Turks had already been canonized by Yang Guang to replace the detained Chuluo Khan in the Central Plains, but even if he had surrendered to the Central Plains, he could not accept Gaochang to break away from the control of the Western Turks, so in the ninth year of the Great Cause, the Khan instigated a coup d'état in Gaochang and established the daughter of Datou Khan and the son born to Gangu as the new king.

Lu Boya fled from Gaochang under the escort of his personal guards and fled to the Central Plains for refuge.

It wasn't until the Qin army broke through Yiwu, canonized Mo Hedu as the Turkic Great Khan, and sent Ashina Danai as the Taishou of Yiwu, the Gaochang king who had been in exile in the Central Plains, was escorted back to the Western Regions by the Qin army, and sent someone to secretly send him back to Gaochang State, secretly contacted the old ministers, and finally with the assistance of Xue Wanche and Ashina Danai, the generals of the Yiwu Qin army, launched the Gaochang Mutiny in one fell swoop and captured Gaochang City.

After eight years in exile in the Central Plains, Lu Boya was finally successfully restored and ascended to the throne of Gaochang again.

He was also awarded the title of Gaochang Taishou by the Emperor of Great Qin, Pei Xingyan led an army of more than 20,000 people into Gaochang to take over the defense, and the army threatened the Yanqi State, which was very close to the Western Turkic Khan's court Qiuzi Sanmi Mountain.

Although there are still more than a thousand miles, there is only one Yanqi left in the middle, and the cavalry raid is only a few days.

It is said that the Khan had even planned to retreat more than a thousand miles to the northwest and move the Khan's court to Qianquan in Shiguo to avoid the Qin army!
