Yang Shuang had no concept of the prairie during this period, after all, across thousands of years, many places have not been desertified.

But he knew that the Turks were similar to the woolly bears of the future, and although they did not include Siberia and Northern Europe, they included the whole of Outer Mongolia and the countries of Stan, and the land area was undoubtedly the largest in the world.

It can be seen that the prairie of today is far wider than that of later generations.

According to the parchment collected by the Anu people, the weak water flows out from the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains, passes through the desert, and terminates on the southern side of the Black Gobi.

Yang Shuang thought about it for a long time, and then he understood what the Black Gobi that he had never understood represented, as high as 500,000 square kilometers of Gobi Altai!

Of course, it is not so big now, otherwise there would be no Altai steppes.

After plundering the target camp with a thunderous force, the group was driven north by the Turkic iron cavalry.

However, after galloping for half a day, Yang Shuang had to make everyone stop.

Ahead, you will see an endless flat land, covered with snow and ice!

The north wind howled, bringing a biting chill.

Yang Shuang tightened his animal skin jacket, sucked his snot and rubbed his almost frozen hands, and Yang Awu on horseback next to him had completely retracted into the felt cloth that blocked the wind.

If he had known that the north would be so cold, he would not have run north if he was killed!

What kind of sky and earth, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep, what the clear water oasis, the desert that sweats profusely just when you hear the name, there is nothing here.

Some are just heavy frost that glows in the dark sun.

In a hurry to be chased by Sha Bo, he and Anu forgot that it was the cold winter wax moon!

What does winter in the steppe represent?

If you don't live in ancient times, no one knows about it.

Otherwise, the Turks would not have marched south every year to fight the autumn wind.

"It's broken! Hosts, we couldn't have gone any further north! Anu's face turned pale.

Yang Shuang didn't pay attention to it, but twisted the parchment map with his stiff fingers, pointed to a strange figure above the Black Gobi and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

"This is where the royal court of the Eastern Turks is located, Yanran Mountain, about two thousand miles away from here!"

"Huh? Wasn't the Turkic court at the southern foot of the Altai Mountains? Yang Shuang asked puzzled.

Anu has lived in the Turks for most of his life and knows a lot, so he will summarize it slowly.

It turns out that Yanran Mountain is the Hangai Mountain of later generations, located in Outer Mongolia.

It is said that it is the court of the Turks, but it is better to say that it was the court of the Xiongnu.

The Turkic anti-water Rou then established the Turkic Khanate in Jinshan, which means Turkic, and its pronunciation is Altai.

Yanran Mountain, however, is located on the eastern side of Altai Mountain, and many famous ancient poems have been involved in later generations.

For example: the desert is lonely, the sun sets on the long river, and Xiao Guan waits to ride, all of which are protected in Yanran.

This capital protector may be said to be the Abe capital protector during the Tang Dynasty, but Yang Shuang was idle and bored in his previous life, and when he looked at the ancient famous generals, he noticed that there was once a general who was not famous, and his achievements were far above the generals of Wei Huo.

During the Yongyuan period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, his cousin Dou Xian attacked the Xiongnu in the north.

He and Geng Bing each led 4,000 horsemen, and 30,000 of them went out to fight with the Southern Huns and Wuheng, and broke the North Danyu in Jiluo Mountain.

Then take advantage of the victory to pursue, go deep into the Hanhai Desert for 3,000 miles, go to Tushenhai, climb Yanran Mountain, kill more than 13,000 people, capture countless prisoners, and carve stones in Yanran Mountain to remember the merits, known as Yanran Le Stone in history.

In the third year, Dou Xian firmly eliminated the heart of the Northern Xiongnu, and once again led 5,000 troops north to Jinshan, breaking the main force of the Northern Xiongnu and capturing the Northern Xiongnu to the queen mother, which made the Xiongnu move westward and created the dark Middle Ages in Europe.

As for the marquis, why Dou Xian, who became the champion marquis, is not famous, it is not unrelated to what he did next.

Mou Dynasty usurped the throne and was given death by Emperor Han He.

After the Xiongnu retreated, the steppe once again gave birth to a new owner, and after brewing for hundreds of years, Rouran was replaced by the Turks.

In order to control such a vast land, the sand bowl moved eastward to the Yinshan prairie, which had better conditions, and the royal court was set up in Yanran Mountain in the northern region.

As for the Golden Mountain, that is, the Altai Mountains, the nest of the Turks, it was left to the Central Turkic Apo.

The Western Turks had to resist Sassanid Persia and the Roman Empire, and the royal court was established in the upper reaches of the Ili River, near Lake Balkhash.

Knowing all this, Yang Shuang roughly calculated the food he had just plundered, and found that it was not enough to support his own Black Gobi running through the east-west direction.

Moreover, the weather was cold, and without special training, the Guanlong soldiers could not withstand the severe cold in the north.

Where do you go?

To the west, it was natural to enter the battlefield of the Turkic civil war again.

To the east, in the vast desert, it is indeed warm during the day, but at night, it is definitely colder than the Black Gobi!

"Master, maybe we can follow the periphery of the Black Gobi, travel thousands of miles to the southeast, and enter Yin Mountain!" Anu said in a paused tone, and suddenly thought of something, "Or, let's turn to the northwest, bypass the Turkic battlefield, and go along the foot of the Altai Mountains to the Northern Tianshan Mountains!" ”

Figuring out the two routes, Yang Shuang looked at the parchment map and found that the distance indicated by the two seemed to be about the same!

Just as he was hesitating, a wolf howl came from behind.

"What's going on?"

After running for half a day, the Turkic pursuers had already been thrown dozens of miles away, and there were many people on the other side, and it was a trouble to eat, drink, and Lazar, and it was impossible to catch up so quickly.

"Report!"

Soon, Slave Fifteen, who was acting as a sentry in the rear, rode his horse, and seemed to have a beggar on his horse.

"Master, the wolf warrior found this person ten miles away! He kept calling your name out of his mouth until he passed out! ”

"Huh?"

Yang Shuang turned over and dismounted, stomped on his somewhat wooden feet, and walked to the beggar with ragged clothes and withered hair covering his face.

I haven't heard that there is a beggar gang in Dasui!

The person who established the beggar gang, but Zhuang Yifang, a subordinate of Huang Chao at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking wildly, Yang Shuang picked the other party's loose hair with the end of the horsewhip, saw the face clearly, his heart shook violently, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Abo?! ”

It seemed that he heard the voice of Chao Si and Dusk, and it seemed that he had rested for a while, and the beggar slowly opened his eyes and grinned: "Yang Shuang, I finally saw you!" ”

"What the hell?"

Yang Shuang's mind was a little confused, "Shouldn't you take the army and fight the sand bowl a little bit?" ”

"It's hard to put into words!"

"It's hard for your uncle, look at your bird, are you defeated? Nest grass! You have as many as 200,000 soldiers and horses in your hands, and you squandered them in less than a day? Yang Shuang blew up on the spot.

He couldn't help but be in a hurry.

According to the historical line, the division of the Eastern and Western Turks seems to be just this year.

Seeing that winter is approaching and the New Year is approaching, the two have only now started a war, and Awa will be defeated in less than a day, and the loss of Sha Bolu will be minimal!

This seems to be completely different from history, without a big loss of strength, how can the Great Sui resist the 500,000 iron horsemen who can use war equipment?

However, Apo's answer made Yang Shuang almost scold his mother.

"Nope! I came here on my own! ”
