Chapter 208: Tiele is coming
Gao Gong was in a hurry when he learned in the post house, it was obvious that this assassination was inseparable from Li Yu and the others he brought, and once Yang Chong found the evidence, Gao Chang would be bleeding. Gao Gong sent someone to deliver a letter to the county guard's office, and there was an important matter to discuss; After two hours, when it was dark, Fang Xuanling personally came to the post house to greet him. Gao Gong suddenly had a bad premonition and asked, "How is the investigation now?" ”
Fang Xuanling said impatiently: "The five manors found are the property of the Shi family and the An family, and the Sogdians are not willing to be lonely, and the two families confessed that their children were threatened by the Turks before agreeing, after all, because of the relationship between Shi Shu and Huxi, most of their business is in the Eastern Turks. However, the Shi family took some dry goods in exchange for their own safety, and the Tiele people wanted to rob Tianshan County, and it is said that everything was planned by our people in the Great Sui. ”
The children did it, like the Great Sui, the Shi clan participated in every conspiracy, and once the incident was leaked, they threw out their children to bear the responsibility and protect the safety of the family. Gao Gong asked calmly, "Have you found any clues?" ”
Fang Xuanling is a gentle and elegant person, and he has a lot of respect for Gao Gong; Gao Gong now wants to use this respect to find out the inside information. Fang Xuanling shook his head silently, he understood Gao Gong's worries, Yang Chong's craftsman's style has affected many people's views of Yang Chong, and forgetting that Yang Chong is a Go master, Yang Chong will continue to work hard in the evidence until how many people can't cry, and now that the Tiele army is coming, Yang Chong will not kill indiscriminately.
After waiting for the carriage and no one around, Fang Xuanling said: "The Tiele people mentioned by the historian are not Xue Yantuo, but the nine surnamed Tiele, a finger of the Chijin Turks. ”
After Yang Chong's defeat of the Chijin Turks in Handchuan, he gave a lesson to the imperial court, and after Gao Gong's comeback, out of concern about the Chijin Turks, a gang that had plagued the Western Regions for many years, he specially consulted the archives of the folds, and the Han and Sogdians in the Chijin Turks were actually the most important task was to collect intelligence, and the Eastern Turks, Tuyuhun, and Tiele were responsible for sending large armies; Among them, the Tiele people are the nine surnamed Tiele who take the Orkhon River basin as their activity area.
After the rise of the Turkic Khanate, the nine Tiele tribes centered on the Orkhon River Valley were all under the control of the Turks, namely Huifu, Fugu, Tongluo, Bayegu, Sijie, Qibi, Hun, Baximi, and Qarluq. At the junction of the Eastern and Western Turks, the Eastern Turks were attacked by two Turkic khanates at the same time, and they suffered unspeakably.
Gao Gong asked anxiously, "Can you send reinforcements to Tianshan County?" ”
Fang Xuanling replied: "Wei Chigong followed the county guard to Gaochang City because the five battalions of Tuntian led by him were training, and the five battalions had taken over part of the defense of Gaochang, and Murong Juncheng took Yu Qinzhang's 1,000 cavalry and Yuwen Chengdu's 1,000 cavalry to reinforce Tianshan County, and An Guozhong should be handed over to the county commander Li Yu to take care of." ”
The mountain wind is whistling, Tianshan County is already in danger, and the Tiele people came this time to rob things and plunder people, so they did not plan to attack Du Jinshu and Luo Manshu at all, and the Tiele people focused on the charcoal burning camp on the mountain of Hengjie City, Wubancheng and Luo Manshan. What the Tiele people didn't expect was that Xie Yingdeng's youth camp was in the middle of the city.
Xie Yingdeng chose Wubancheng as the training location, not because the Turks' riding skills surpassed the soldiers in Nanping City, but because there were more than 200 seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers among the Turks in Tianshan County; During the training, Xie Yingdeng recruited 200 Turkic teenagers as he wished, and their families were quite willing, and the youth camp not only had good equipment and treatment, but also taught Chinese literacy. Xie Yingdeng had been sending scouts and rangers every day in accordance with the requirements of the march, and when the third team of scouts was attacked, the juvenile battalion sent a signal.
While holding on to the camp ten miles away from Wubancheng, Xie Yingdeng sent someone to call the police to Wubancheng, where there were 300 Turkic cavalry and 200 Han infantry. The 2,000 Tiele cavalry led by Ge Luofu who came to the city without half the city, Ge Luofu was afraid of Xie Yingdeng's attack, so he could only forcibly attack the stockade built on the hill by the juvenile battalion, and fought until dawn, the Tiele people found nothing, but in the last attack, they were shot and killed by the juvenile battalion's transfigurative machine and giant crossbow at a time.
Grofu had to divide his troops to attack the city, and was once again taught a lesson by rolling logs and stones, with more than 200 casualties and more than one-third of the soldiers, and it was consumed until dark, Glofo could only set up camp and wait for reinforcements, but in the middle of the night, the Tiele people were shot by countless rockets flying from the sky, and in the confusion, Xie Yingden attacked the camp, and Glofo retreated in a hurry. But what Ge Luofu didn't expect was that Xie Yingdeng mobilized the elite of the 500 youth battalion and 200 Turkic cavalry, and attacked again on the way to the retreat of the Tiele people, and when Ge Luofu retreated to Luoman Mountain, there were less than 800 people, of which more than half were wounded.
Only a thousand Tiele cavalry led by Hun Shi Nanyun attacked the camp of Luo Man Mountain, and he succeeded by surprise and captured more than 700 prisoners and a large amount of charcoal. The people sent by Ge Luofu to ask for help fell into the hands of Liu Hongji, Liu Hongji immediately set up an ambush on the mountain road where Ge Luofu retreated, burned thousands of people, and killed Ge Luofu, only more than 200 Tiele soldiers abandoned their horses and put on Luo Man Mountain.
Knowing that the Sui army under the mountain reached more than 1,000 people, exceeding the number of his own army, Hun Shi Nanyun's first thought was to retreat, this time he ran so far and only 5,000 people came, and the Sui army must have been coming with reinforcements in the next few days, and defeat was only a matter of time. The 2,000 cavalry led by Tubijie went deep into the farthest Hengjie city, and even if they captured the castle, they were surrounded by the Sui army, which was of no help to themselves.
Hun Shi Nanyun ordered all the captives to be killed and wounded, then had a full meal, and withdrew overnight; When Liu Hongji and Xie Yingdeng found out, it was already noon the next day, so they could only save their families first, and just like that, hundreds of people died. It should be said that Hun Shi Nanyun's judgment was completely correct, but he overestimated Tubijie a little, Tubijie was not familiar with the situation in Tianshan County, and made a detour in the mountains on the west side of Luoman Mountain, and arrived at Hengjie City one day later than Ge Luofu; The three castles of the cross-cut city, the half-city, and the Dujin Shu are on a line, and the middle of the Dujin Shu to the two forts is only fifty or sixty miles away, and the cross-cut city has already gotten the news.
Tubijie besieged the city for a day without results, and found that the enemy cavalry in the direction of Dujin was harassing, and finally defeated two hundred cavalry, Yu Qinzhang's 1,000 light cavalry arrived, after Yu Qinzhang and Dai Xuan met, they packed up the remnants of the army, set up camp in peace, and waited for Murong Xixiong's reinforcements. At this time, Tubijie finally inquired clearly, the war in Wubancheng had ended, how could Tubijie dare to stay any longer, and immediately retreated towards Luoman Mountain.
As long as you pass through the Luoman Mountain, it is the world of the Tiele people, Tubijie urged the troops to speed up the march all the way, and on a narrow mountain road, they were attacked by the archers commanded by Liu Hongji, and the sky was full of fire; Turning around to break through, Tubijie fled to a safe place, counting the number of people, but only a thousand. Liu Hongji and Xie Yingdeng were afraid that Hun Shi Nanyun would suddenly come back, leaving Xie Yingdeng to guard the camp of Luo Manshan, Liu Hongji succeeded in the ambush, did not dare to pursue, and packed up the spoils and returned to the camp.
