Not long after Zhuang Fudi's words were finished, the Turks on the opposite side were a little impatient and directly began to prepare for an attack on Wuwei County, and the sound of a horn suddenly sounded outside the city resounded in the wilderness outside the city. Originally, the Turks did not have such a thing, which is also the fundamental reason why the Turkic army has been repeatedly defeated by the Han people in the Central Plains, in addition to its extremely loose discipline, so these Turks have no force, but they have always been played by the Han army that is weaker than them, and finally they became the defeated side in a daze.

But those things are all old yellow calendars, since Shi Shu Hu Xi was favored by Shibi Khan and promoted to his confidant and strategist, Shi Shu Hu Xi immediately set out to rectify the Turkic army. After all, in the eyes of the Turks, the army of the subordinate country is no different from the cattle and sheep they raise, so if you need to learn something, the rancher can learn it, and there is no need to teach every cow and sheep.

Shi Shuhuxi's idea was to learn from the Han people south of the Great Wall, learn from their organization and training of the army, learn from the Han Chinese methods, set up new banners and orders according to the fighting traditions of the Turks themselves, and strengthen the ability of the Turkic armies to cooperate with each other on the battlefield through a series of means. At the beginning, Bi Khan only handed over one of his troops guarding the tooth tent to Shi Shu Hu Xi for trial training and rectification, and at this time, he actually had the mentality of trying it out, wanting to see if the plan proposed by Shi Shu Hu Xi was feasible.

So in the subsequent conflict with the Western Turks, this army trained by Shi Shu Huxi exerted super combat effectiveness. He single-handedly repelled several times the number of enemy attacks he had, and the results he achieved were not comparable to that of another elite escort force. This result made Shibi Khan more determined in his thoughts, so he also agreed more with the suggestion put forward by Shi Shu Huxi, and handed over all the Turkic troops under his command to Shi Shu Hu Xi for rearrangement and rectification.

But the good times didn't last long, and when Shi Shu Huxi had just trained the Turkic army in a decent way, he was sent by Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, to be booby-trapped in Mayi County. The day before Shi Shu Huxi was lured to Mayi County, he once commented on his newly formed army to Shibi Khan: "Lord Khan, these troops will become eagles flying in the sky in the future. All the animals under their feet will be their prey, but now they are too young to hunt independently, and they need to rely on the mother eagle for feeding. Therefore, we must not let these armies suffer too much loss until the last resort, after all, if their vitality is greatly damaged, then all the efforts we have made during this time will be in vain. ”

At that time, Shibi Khan had just drawn a blueprint for his future after seeing that the new army trained by Shi Shu Huxi was so powerful. But who knew that Shi Shu Huxi, who was one of the pillars of his entire blueprint at this time, was deceived by those shameless Han people into Mayi County and killed, so Shibi Khan was furious, so he left all his worries behind him and personally led the elite troops guarding the tooth tent to the south, ready to seek revenge on those Han people.

Although Shibi Khan was very angry, he did not lose his due reason. He knew that if he attacked rashly, not only would he not be able to avenge Shi Shu Huxi, but he might even be in danger of his own life. During this time, he spent a lot of money to buy off the officials of the Sui Dynasty in Mayi County and the generals in the border of Mayi County, and successfully opened a small back door in the Great Sui Dynasty in the north to spend the energy and heavy money of two generations of monarchs to build a strong position in the north to defend against the Turks going south.

Sbi Khan suppressed the hatred in his heart, counting the days day after day. Finally, perhaps Changshengtian took pity on him and gave him a perfect opportunity to avenge his most important strategist: Yang Guang came to Yanmen County to tour the north. It can be said that this time is the closest he has to Yang Guang except for going to the Central Plains to meet the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. So Shibi Khan used his various connections in Mayi County to successfully lead his troops to break through the defense line of the Great Wall, and went deep into Yanmen to besiege Emperor Yang Guang in Yanmen County.

And just when Shibi Khan thought that he was in control, there was news from the steppe that some tribes in the north were ready to move at this time and plotted against him. But it was his wife who came to spread the news, that is, Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty. But when he was about to capture Yanmen County and capture the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, the arrival of this letter had some inexplicable meaning. So the Turkic attack was stalled for a day, and it also left a little respite for the defenders in the city. But in the evening of the same day, when Shibi Khan made up his mind not to break through the Yanmen Gate and never return it, Li Wenyuan led King Qin's troops to attack Shibi Khan's camp at night, completely crushing the new army that Shibi Khan thought he relied on. After being escorted to the grassland, Shibi Khan gathered the remnants, and a small half of the people were all left on the Great Wall, and it was inevitable that he never returned to the grassland.

At this time, Shibi Khan remembered the words that Shi Shu Huxi had told him, and he couldn't help but secretly regret it in his heart. But it has already happened, and it is useless to regret it. So Shibi Khan led the remnants back to the tooth tent, and just when Shibi Khan decided to declare himself a vassal to the Sui Dynasty again, in exchange for a few years of respite, the Tuoba family sent someone to send Shi Shu Huxi's son Tuoba Shi Shu.

Tuoba Shi Shu inherited the shrewdness of his father Shi Shu Hu Xi, and received many years of edification in the cultural circle of the Han people. Therefore, it could not be easier for him to train a new army of the Turks after the army of the Han Chinese. Even Tuoba Shi Shu was sure that the new army he had organized and trained would completely crush the army that his father had trained according to the Han training method that his father had learned from cats and tigers in terms of combat effectiveness.

It is precisely because of this that Shibi Khan was able to promote Tuoba Shi Shu to the position where his father Shi Shu Hu Xi was sitting. Shibi Khan was not wary of Tuoba Shishu, but he felt that before the common enemy of the two people, that is, the Sui Dynasty and those Han people in the south, was completely defeated, Tuoba Shishu should not attack him, so he was so relieved and boldly handed over all the troops in his hands to Tuoba Shishu for training.

Tuoba Shi Shu also held this psychology to train for Shibi Khan with peace of mind, he agreed with Shi Shu Hu Xi's line of thought very much, and also wanted to avoid large-scale battles with the Han people as much as possible before the army was formed, but this time the opportunity was indeed a golden opportunity, so Tuoba Shi Shu persuaded Shibi Khan to send troops and Liang Shi to invade Wuwei County together.
