The bonfire was not extinguished, and Yang ordered all the 2,000 men of the Sui army to put on armor, sit by the fire, drink wine, eat meat and sing, and the soldiers quietly went back to the tent to rest; Two hours later, the night was deep and the voices were scarce, the soldiers of the Hexi Army quietly came out of the tents and entered the position, and the cavalry were all ready to go, each guarding in front of their own war horses, afraid that the infantry army would use the thunder at night, and the ears of each war horse were plugged with pre-prepared cloths.

When Yu Shot led people to touch the camp for five miles, he was discovered by the Hexi Army, and an arrow shot into the sky; With a roar, 10,000 iron horsemen galloped out of the grassland, quickly increasing the horse's speed to the limit, and the earth trembled with the movement of the horse's hooves. Yu Cai's blood boiled, and the scout's reaction showed that the other party was just a normal guard, and there was a chance to slaughter the weak Han people like cattle and sheep tonight, proving once again the fierceness of the Turkic warriors.

Yang watched in the binoculars, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the swept torrent seemed to be more imposing in the night than in the day, and it was already suffocating before it was close; However, it depends on who the opponent is. The Hexi Army took the route of elite soldiers, and according to Yang Chong's financial resources and the miscellaneous beards in the control territory, Yang Chong had no problem expanding by another 50,000 to 100,000 people, but Yang Chong would rather throw tens of thousands of armor in the treasury and force his generals to build elite soldiers.

The Turks in front of the sudden attack were obviously elite, and once someone fell into the horse trap, the cavalry behind immediately lifted the reins of the horse, and the war horse jumped through the air and rushed through the horse trap; Xiang Yizu shouted: "Release!" ”

Dozens of fires flashed, the grass pile outside the village was lit, and the fire broke out everywhere, revealing the hideous figure of the Turkic cavalry, becoming an invisible; Countless crossbow strings were loosened, and crossbow arrows flew diagonally, shooting at the ranks of the Turkic cavalry, the horses neighed, and the arrow-hit fell in a large area with screams and exclamations. Three rounds of arrows still could not stop the Turks from going forward and succeeding; It was the continuous explosions of thunder that made the Turks desperate, and in the stump and broken arm flying around, the queen retreated.

In the smoke of gunpowder, the crossbowmen hurried to make up their shots, the retreating cavalry had no resistance at all, and the frenzied war horses seriously hindered the speed of the retreat, and they were shot down one after another. The five thousand horsemen of Lifei Shixiong took off the earplugs of their war horses and screamed out of Dazhai, like a sharp steel knife, cutting the Turkic army in half; Yu Jie's order no longer worked, the Liang army and the Turkic army scrambled to flee towards the way they came, and Ju Jian Teller stretched out his hand and pulled Yu Jie's horse's head, and a group of generals fled with Yu Zhu wrapped in him.

The Tianming Hexi Army counted the corpses of the Turkic army and the Liang army, totaling more than 4,000 corpses, and captured more than 1,000 war horses; After a day and a night of fighting, Yang Ze's army suffered about 2,000 casualties. Yang simply repaired for a day before continuing to march to Huaiyuan County; There were no more attacks along the way, and it was not until the city of Huaiyuan that Yang learned that Philosher and Yang Shanjing had reached the front line, and the Turks retreated fifty miles to the village.

Yu Shot's heart was not to mention how aggrieved he was, his father and Yang Shan came by, not to help him defeat the enemy, but to negotiate with the enemy who killed tens of thousands of his subordinates. Somewhat disappointed, he said, "You still don't understand the significance of the Great Khan sending you here. ”

"Why isn't it clear?" Yu Shot said strongly: "It is to defeat the Central Plains people and connect with Xue Ju." ”

Yang Shanjing smiled kindly and said: "That's just a part, you can do the best, cut Yang Chong's territory, and then gradually annex it; But if you fail, you should do it differently, and you can't drag on the whole battle longer and longer. We are in charge of the vast area from the Western Regions to Liaodong, Tiele, Murowei, Khitan, Goguryeo, every tribe is actually playing with us, and it is not wise to contain troops in any place. ”

Yu Jie's emotions calmed down a little and asked, "Lord Yang, what do you say?" ”

Fortunately, Yu Jie just wants to save face, and he still has the ability, Yang Shanjing asked, "Do you know the situation in Woye Town?" ”

Yu Shi nodded, and Yang Shanjing said tiredly: "Dubi and Yang Chong have been friends for many years, and the two have always maintained a relationship between the two of them, complementing each other in trade, and now Woye Town is more prosperous than Dali City." In addition to building a temple for the aggressive tribesmen in Juyanhai, Yang Chong also built a Beiwo Temple and a Flying Bird Temple in Woye Town, and invited monks and Taoists from the Central Plains to preach, and it is said that the second temple has been started. ”

Yu Jie understood a little and asked, "Do you want me to start trading with Yang Chong as well?" ”

He said with certainty: "Exactly, the reason why the Great Khan insisted on you to come is because of this preparation, according to our estimates, Yang Chong is likely to agree to trade with you, but if you have the intention of fooling the other party, you are a very dangerous thing." Dubi is the closest to you, but when you clash with the Hexi Army, it will definitely not help you, interests are the most critical, why can't you let you fight, that is, we can't bear this kind of attrition, the Turks claim to be 400,000 male soldiers, but the real Turks are only 1230,000, and the losses you have caused are not small. ”

Yu Shot was frightened and shocked, what he didn't say was that the 1230,000 Turkic elite soldiers were also in the hands of the five brothers of Shibi Khan, Shibi Khan's personal guard army was less than 50,000, and the rest was Uncle Dubi and his father Liphosheth had 30,000 each, and the two uncles of Bulisheth and Qijisheh combined were only 20,000. As a result of his own failures, Uncle Dubi was already better than his father and quietly rose to become the second most powerful man in the Turks.

Knowing that Yang Ze had arrived, Yang Shanjing immediately went to Huaiyuan City to negotiate, and after reaching a ceasefire agreement, Yang Shanjing rushed to Shangxian; Yang Shanjing understands that only Yang Chong can really call the shots. But when they met, Yang Chong's face was not good, and he asked Yang Shanjing with a face: "Brother Shanjing, from the Hongnong Yang family, we are also clansmen, I will say it clearly." I don't believe him, I don't want to raise tigers, I can strike the war, trade talks. ”

Yang Shanjing nodded solemnly and said: "I understand your feelings, but Shibi Khan will not let Dubi accept this piece, which is also a problem for raising tigers; I understand, when you unify Longyou, you will definitely make a fuss in this grassland, so let's say your plans. ”

Yang Chong smiled and said, "You haven't considered building a separate tooth court. You can also see the situation in Chang'an, I am preparing to support Yang Tong, the king of Yue, but Jiangdu may not agree; However, people other than Yue Wang Yang Tong are not eye-catching. According to my opinion, there are too many nobles in Jiangdu, even if there are more than 100,000 elite soldiers, they may not be able to play a big role, and Brother Shanjing should plan early. ”

Yang Shanjing understood that after Yang Tong, the king of Yue, Yang Chong would not support anyone, and others could only become puppets of Li Yuan and others like Yang Yu, the acting king of Chang'an. Yang Shanjing gasped and said: "Yue Guogong, this is wrong, the Son of Heaven is still in Jiangdu, and he will definitely be able to make a comeback." ”

Yang Chong was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Yu Wenhua and Sima Dejiao led the Xiaoguo Army to mutiny, and they have already killed the Holy Son of Heaven, Brother Shanjing should go back immediately to discuss with the princess and set a countermeasure as soon as possible." By the way, Yang Mian, who is now in charge of the royal family, is the son of Yang Da, you can contact him if you have something, you are a clansman, and you can let him convey what you don't want to say to me. ”

Yang Shanjing was struck by lightning and had dealt with Yang Chong for many years, Yang Shanjing knew that Yang Chong still had scruples about Yang Guang, and as soon as Yang Guang went, Yang Chong had no heart again, and the Great Sui was in danger. Yang Shanjing understood Yang Chong's meaning in seconds, if he had Yuzhong, plus the support of Tongwancheng and the Turks, even if he was unable to compete for the world, at least he could bring a group of royal families from Jiangdu to come and have a place to live. Yang Shanjing asked, "When did you get the news?" ”

"This morning." Yang Chong gave an accurate answer: "It has not been announced to the public until now." ”
