The Eastern Turkic royal court, where the water and grass are abundant, looking down from the sky, there are millions of livestock distributed in a range of hundreds of miles, leisurely gnawing on the grass, among these livestock, Yuer is mixed with a white tent, the smoke rises from the tent, and the air is filled with the fragrance of milk tea and mutton.

In the middle of a high mountain area, it was a different story, the blue meadows were occupied by dense tents, and on the top of the largest tent stood a hunting flag, embroidered with a golden wolf's head, as if it was looking up to the sky and howling.

At the foot of the mountain is a team of horses galloping back and forth, they raise the curved horses in their hands, and rush towards the rows of straw men made of wood and hay in the distance, the snow sabers suddenly cut down from the air, and the heads of the rows of straw men rolled to the ground, and the wooden stakes that were originally uneven became smooth platforms as big as bowls, and their shouts were higher and higher, and it became a huge training platform around the entire hillside.

Different from the hot training under the mountain, there is an extremely depressing atmosphere in the tent under the blue wolf on the top of the mountain, whether it is Jieli and the Eastern Turkic nouveau riche, or the original old nobles all have a calm face, as if the father and mother have just died in the family and the orphan who has met the creditor to come to the door, and there is a kind of panic in the anger.

"Great Khan, I can't wait, if I wait any longer, my Eastern Turks will die." An old nobleman knelt at Jieli's feet, crying out heartbreakingly.

Turkic is just a unified name, containing many tribes, Mengchen, Turusu, Sijie, Hun, Huxue surnames, in addition to many subordinate tribes, Fugu, Tongluo, Weitong, Bayegu, and Fuluo are all subordinate to the Eastern Turks. The current old nobleman belongs to the Mengchen tribe, and he has just received news that his tribe has been surrounded by the Sui army a few days ago, whether it is men, women, children, cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock, all of them have been coerced away by the Sui army. Now, in addition to this old nobleman, there are only more than 100 soldiers trained here.

Everyone looked at the old nobleman sympathetically. In the past month or so, there are not many tribes like the Mengchen Department who have been coerced by the Sui army, but. It is rare for the Sui army, a large clan with thousands of people like Meng Chenbu, to be served in one pot, and it is only to blame that Meng Chenbu was too careless and fell into the encirclement of the Sui army.

"Strategist, what do you think?" Jieli turned his head to look at a Han man at the head of the head, this person's name was Zhao Deyan, who was originally an officer of the Sui army, but fled to the grassland because of military discipline. Taken in by Jieli. Zhao Deyan can write and martial arts, is familiar with military books and strategies, and knows the details of the Sui army, and Jieli was entrusted with important tasks after getting Zhao Deyan three years ago.

Zhao Deyan did not live up to Jieli's trust, the battle of Mayi, it was relying on Zhao Deyan's training of elite soldiers that Jieli broke out of the encirclement of the Sui army, but unfortunately Jieli was only a third prince before, and there were only dozens of soldiers in his hands. In the first battle of Ma Yi, there were only more than ten people who rushed out with him in the end, and it was by relying on the identity of these more than ten people and the third prince that Jieli contained more than 2,000 golden wolf riders who rushed out, and used them for several months. Became the new Great Khan of the Eastern Turks.

Now he has 50,000 men in his hands. Jieli believes that with Zhao Deyan to help train the troops, as long as he is given another three years. The Eastern Turks will be stronger than ever, and with 50,000 iron horsemen in their hands, they will not only be able to reunite the Eastern and Western Turks, but they will also be able to invade the Central Plains and make the Sui court bow to him.

It's a pity, don't say three years, now he doesn't have three months, as soon as the spring Sui army entered the grassland, just when Jieli was at his weakest, Jieli could only temporarily retreat and build the royal court away from the border of the Great Sui.

It's just that his royal court can retreat, but so many people can't retreat, now is the time when the water and grass are abundant, if the livestock are not allowed to graze near the south, the north can not accommodate so many livestock, if all the livestock and herdsmen are led to the north, the grass roots in the north must be gnawed up.

The grassland is vast, and the terrain is complex, the Sui army only has 100,000 people, and these 100,000 people are scattered into the grassland, which is equivalent to a river entering the sea, and the places that can be searched are always limited. As long as they endure for a few months, the Sui army will naturally return if they don't get much loot.

It's just that I didn't expect that the Sui army would be so bold, the 100,000 army was only divided into three roads at the beginning, and after seeing the Turks just playing hide and seek with them, the Sui army has changed from three roads to dozens of roads, and finally became more than 100 roads with a team of 500 people, sweeping the grassland like a sieve, it is this sieve tactic that makes the Turkic tribes who stay in the southern steppe lose the space to maneuver, and are found by the Sui army one by one like insects falling into cobwebs.

Now that the Sui army has just entered the grassland for more than a month, the losses received every day make Jieli unable to sit still, and he can't help but ask.

"Great Khan, you can't send troops, our army has created an army, although the Great Turkic people can ride horses and shoot arrows from birth, but after training, it is difficult to have a chance of winning in the face of the elite soldiers of the Great Sui."

Zhao Deyan's answer was not what Jieli expected, and the old nobleman of the Mengchen tribe was even more like ashes, if the khan did not send troops, his people would be escorted to the territory of the Great Sui in a month, and it would be impossible to return to the grassland unless the Emperor of the Great Sui was gracious.

"However, the Sui army is too arrogant, if you don't give them a little blow, the Sui army will be even more unscrupulous, the villain suggested that the Khan organize a blow to the Sui army, and ruthlessly extinguish the prestige of the Sui army, as long as the Sui army is eliminated all the way, forcing the Sui army not to dare to divide the troops, and the people who stay on the southern grassland are not afraid of being caught by the Sui army again." Zhao Deyan changed.

The eyes of the Turks in the camp lit up, although Zhao Deyan was a Han Chinese, but after a few months, Zhao Deyan had erected a resourceful image in front of the Turks, and when he heard that he could strike at the Sui army, everyone was gearing up: "Strategist, you say, how to fight?" ”

"Military division, although the Sui army is divided into dozens or hundreds of teams, each team is only a few miles to a dozen miles apart, even if our army can surround one team, less than half an hour, at least two teams of Sui troops can arrive, and within one day, you can gather a team of 10,000 people, how can you eat one of them?" Jieli voiced his doubts.

When he heard the division of the Sui army, Jieli did not have the idea of fighting the Sui army, but the Sui army's mutual intentions were closely connected and echoed each other, Jieli had already tried the combat power of this Sui army in the battle of Mayi, and countless crossbow arrows were sent out overwhelmingly as if they didn't want money, Jieli was not sure that he would eat a Sui army of 500 people in a short time, so he could only dispel the idea.

Zhao Deyan glanced around, and saw that all the Turkic high-ranking officials were looking at him, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of pride in his heart, although the life here cannot be compared with the Great Sui, but he has the power of one person, ten thousand people, compared to enjoyment, he cares more about power, when he came to the Turks, it is undoubtedly the most correct thing.

"Great Khan, at this time and that time, we were helpless to take the Sui army, that is because the Sui army is located in the plains, and now the Sui army is too deep, the desert, the Gobi will hinder the connection between the Sui army and the other, as long as our army can find a protruding Sui army, and there is a desert around him, the Gobi, there will be enough time to eat him, maybe you can also lay a trap, so that the Sui army can suffer several losses, and even destroy several Sui to help

Jieli breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "The military division is really smart, but how many men should our army dispatch?" ”

If there are many people, it is easy to alarm the Sui army, if it turns into a big battle between the two sides, it is not what Jieli needs, but if there are fewer people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to eat the Sui army, and it is really difficult to handle it in the middle.

"A thousand is enough." Zhao Deyan said lightly.

"A thousand?" There was an exclamation in the tent, before the division of the Eastern and Western Turks, the Turks have always regarded the Central Plains people as pigs and dogs, and in the face of the Central Plains army, even if they were one as ten, they dared to charge and win, but after the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, the soldiers of the Central Plains became more and more sophisticated, and the weapons and armor were getting better and better.

Hearing the exclamation of his subordinates, Jieli's face was **, but his heart was bleeding, the battle of Ma Yi not only buried the elite soldiers of the entire Eastern Turks, but also lost everyone's spirit, many people here have experienced the battle of Ma Yi, the Sui army wave after wave, the endless arrow rain left them with too deep an image, the overwhelming arrow rain falls, even if your riding skills are high, no matter how good your martial arts are, it is useless, in this case, you can only escape, and if you escape a little slowly, you will be turned into a thorn by the Sui army's arrow rain

"No, this time we must win, and we must win cleanly, otherwise in the future, even if we have trained 50,000 elite cavalry to fight against the Sui army, we will definitely lose, Jieli secretly thought: "Okay, according to the words of the military division, only a thousand horsemen will be led, and Ben Khan will personally set out to meet the Sui army." ”

Zhao Deyan nodded, knowing that Jieli understood what he meant, only the Great Khan personally dispatched to recruit at least half of the nearly 1,000 golden wolf guards who had been scattered to train soldiers, and it was possible to eat a single building of the Sui army in a short time with a veteran and a new soldier.

It's just that in this way, once the defeat brings the loss to the Eastern Turks, it is fatal, Jieli's rights are all supported by the nine hundred veterans, once half of the loss is lost, even if Jieli escapes back, the Eastern Turks will not have to have civil strife, but this risk is not to be taken by Jieli, in the face of the Sui army's step-by-step advance, if you don't fight back, what can you do.
