The golden wolf flag finally turned around, the Turkic army retreated, and Shi Daqian pursued ten miles with the cooperation of the airship, killing more than 4,000 people and returning; In the battle of Qiaobei, the Turks suffered as many as 20,000 casualties, most of which were caused by trampling on each other. Jieli Khan retreated fifty miles before setting up camp, and Yang Chong sent a letter to promise a decisive battle tomorrow; After Jieli Khan agreed, he summoned Tuli and other generals to discuss, and Tuli shook his head and said: "The airship in the sky is too powerful, this battle cannot be fought, even if people are not afraid, the war horse can not be controlled." ”

The Turkic generals nodded their heads, they were not afraid of fighting for their lives, but they were still a little afraid of this vain death; Jieli Khan naturally knew that this nephew was dissatisfied with his sitting on the throne of the Great Khan, and was about to suppress it when he heard the rumors, Lingwu's fast horse arrived, and Buli set 50,000 coalition troops and Zhuge Quan's 50,000 troops to face off, and lost more than 30,000 people in the first battle.

Yan Tuoshe suggested in a low voice: "Great Khan, let's negotiate peace, under the fiasco of Bu Lishe, there is no courage to fight again, Yang Chong can wait for us in martial arts, it means that he has already prepared, even if he wins tomorrow, the casualties will definitely be not small; Yang Chong can continue to recruit troops to fight again, and we are alone and cannot withstand such attrition. Once the people are gone, there will be chaos in the country. ”

The Great Khan of the Turks was not the emperor of the Central Plains, and in some respects, even less powerful than the county guards of the Central Plains; His tribes are all deterred by strong authority, and if the power of Jieli Khan is not as strong as that of some of his subordinates, then internal turmoil is almost inevitable. Jieli Khan looked gloomily at the stubborn thinking force and said: "It's better for you to go, and tell Yang Chong that I have withdrawn from the army, and I hope he can arrange for food to be provided along the way, so that I can withdraw smoothly." ”

The Sui army has set up a small village of 1,000 people in the north of the river, and heard the meaning of the stubborn thinking clearly, and the officers guarding the village sent the stubborn thinking force to Yang Chong as quickly as possible. Seeing Yang Chongshili, he said, "The prime minister has misunderstood, the Great Khan specially went to Chang'an to meet you." ”

Yang Chong said coldly: "If you had killed Weishui today, you wouldn't have said that." If Jieli Khan only wants to meet with me, as for the mobilization of 200,000 troops, do you still need to inform Li Shimin? According to my relationship with him, I can find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, drink, chat, and find some kabuki to cheer up, and I need to find hundreds of thousands of troops and people to help the fun, as we are now? ”

He said that none of you were such a person, but he didn't dare to refute Yang Chong in person, so he could only smile awkwardly and said: "The Great Khan asked me to come and discuss with the prime minister, our Turkic army is ready to retreat to Yuzhong, and I hope that the prime minister will inform the supply of food along the way, so as not to rob the people below for food and hurt the people of the Central Plains." ”

Yang Chong thought for a moment and asked sharply, "What you said is true?" ”

Zhi Sili smiled bitterly: "The prime minister must have received the battle report from Lingwu County, in this case, what else can we do?" The Great Khan was single-minded in wanting to withdraw his troops. ”

Yang Chong clapped his hands and said, "That's it, I'll replenish you in Pingliang County; Tell Jieli Khan that in order to punish me, I will cancel the purchase of Toyosu's New Year's coins, and he will confess his mistake in a book. In addition, you have to stay in my barracks, let your entourage go back and report the news, if Jieli is a fake retirement, I will kill you to sacrifice the flag. ”

Jieli Khan was not surprised to get the news, and the generals of the Turkic tribes were not surprised, the weak eat the strong, and it was impossible for Yang Chong not to put forward conditions when the situation was superior; To their surprise, Yang Chong agreed to let the counties along the way provide supplies, just to ask the Turks to admit their mistakes. It was not until the later Chang'an newspaper reached Dali City that the Turkic high-level officials understood Yang Chong's intentions; Yang Chong's purpose was very simple, that is, Jieli Khan would admit his mistake in public, swear loyalty to the Great Sui in public, and if he regretted it one day, he would be discussed by the whole world.

The Turkic army pulled out the camp early the next morning, but it was still a step late, Pingliang was completely defeated, Zhuge Quan used the airship to attack the camp at night, in the Turkic chaos, Xie Yingdeng was killed into the camp, the whole army collapsed, and less than 6,000 people escaped with Bu Lishe. After Jieli Khan and Buli set up a division, they simply retreated to the north and went down sixty miles from Zhuge Quan's big village; Yang Chong's efficiency was very fast, and he was only one day away from Jieli Khan, but he brought 5,000 pigs and sheep, and there were only eight words in a letter: "You don't die under your feet, and you can't be alone." ”

Jieli Khan laughed, collected more than 3,000 prisoners released by Yang Chong and returned to the north. Yang Chongneng was so lucky to wait for the main Turkic force in martial arts; Zhuge Quan's 50,000-strong army miraculously appeared in Anding County, almost as if waiting there, as well as a large number of cement, gunpowder, Tibetan iron baskets, etc., which had been prepared to be transported to the battle site, all of which showed that Chang'an had a plan for the movement of the Turks.

Yang Chong ordered Jiang to go north to relieve the siege of Confucianism, and himself, Shi Daqian, and Yang Gongqing returned to Chang'an; When the army returned to Chang'an, Yuan Wei organized a grand welcome ceremony and led the army and people to welcome the triumphant division, which defeated the worries of the Chang'an magnates about the Turks and was of great significance to the future direction. In particular, Wei Yi, after careful planning, put the news of the Turks and Li Shimin on the same page to publicize and comment on the same page, giving people the illusion that Li Shimin is a Turkic lackey.

Lao Sun Tou crowded into the crowd to watch the military horses dressed up and returned to the division, and the long line walked by, the number of people was about the same as advertised, and there were indeed no casualties. After the ceremony, the old grandson slowly walked back to the city along the flow of people, and took a detour to Yong'an Fang to see, the palace master had not yet been notified, but as soon as he returned to the department store to hang out the planks for business, he saw six plainclothes coming over at the same time. Although the six people were wearing the clothes of the common people, but the murderous aura of the soldiers was undoubted, the old grandson calmed down, smiled and greeted him and asked, "What does the guest officer need?" ”

One of the leaders asked in a deep voice: "There is a donkey cart that delivers gold from Hebei, but the goods are unloaded at your house?" ”

Lao Sun's hands moved slightly, dozens of hidden weapons had flown out of his sleeves, and six people were immediately poisoned and killed; But the old grandson found that his situation had not changed at all. A man dressed as a boss appeared at the door, with a round face, a high nose and a wide mouth, cloudy eyes, and a smile on his face that was not much better than crying; The person who came lamented and said: "Bloody hands fly flowers, and if you shoot, you won't be left alive." ”

The old grandson said indifferently: "Mo Nan Eagle Luan Ying, now that I heard that you are an official, I just don't know if you have the life to enjoy." ”

Luan Ying smiled bitterly and said, "But I can't help it, let you escape, I won't survive." ”

Old Sun Tou smiled and said, "Then let's be a pair of partners on the Huangquan Road." ”
