Chapter 465: Tiele is coming
The Turks, to be precise, should be called the Great Khan of the Eastern Turks at this time, and tried his best to falsely claim that he was seriously ill, in order to shirk his relatives and go to Chang'an to meet Yang Jian, the emperor of the Great Sui, but he never expected that Changsun Sheng had already planned before him to force him to go south.

Two months ago, when Changsun Sheng, as the deputy envoy of the award, came to Zihe Town with Yang Guang to meet the photo, when he learned that Yang Guang wanted to lure Sha Bolu Khan to go to Chang'an to meet the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, Changsun Sheng sent a number of henchmen to pretend to be Turks, and quietly continued to go north from Zihe Town, and released the wind along the way, saying that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty had rewarded tens of thousands of grains, rice, and money to the tribe of the Sui Dynasty, and the photo wanted to lead the army north with the heavy reward awarded by the emperor of the Sui Dynasty and expel the Tiele tribes from Mobei.
When the news reached the Tiele tribes in Mobei, the most powerful tribal chieftain in the Tiele tribes, Abba, immediately decided to strike first, not waiting for the Turks to attack, but first led tens of thousands of warriors of the tribe to the south, launched an attack on the Turks, and looted the grain, rice, and money from the Turks that were heavily rewarded by the Sui Dynasty.
Four years ago, Luo Yu, who was sent to the Tuli Khan in Mobei to prevent the Tiele tribes, learned the news that Abba led his troops to invade the south, and tried to send people to the Tiele tribes to clear up the rumors and persuade Abba to stop the army and truce. It was too late, and tens of thousands of warriors of the Abba tribe broke into the northern territory of the Turks like tens of thousands of red-eyed beasts.
Chu Luo Yu had no choice but to lead his troops and horses to resist the invasion of Tiele on the one hand, and on the other hand sent a message to his cousin to take a picture, asking the photo to send reinforcements north as soon as possible.
At that time, when Master Puji, a senior monk of Nanchen, arrived at the Cause and Fruit Temple in Zihe Town to preach the scriptures, he was dragged by Kehe Dun Yuwen Pra Ruoqiang to listen to the monk's lecture in the Cause and Fruit Temple, and received an urgent military report from the Tiele army in the Cause and Fruit Temple, and it was too late to recall his son Yongyu Lu, who led the army to drill outside, and personally led 30,000 Turkic iron horsemen to set off from Zihe Town and go north to meet the enemy.
The Tiele cavalry led by Abba faced the attack on the north and south of the Luolu brothers, and was not afraid at all, with a hundred cavalry as a combat unit, with a strong bow and crossbow in hand, on the vast steppe on the bank of the Duluo River, launched a round of attacks on the Turkic iron cavalry, and the 30,000 iron cavalry under the command of the photographer lost their armor and abandoned their armor, and were defeated and retreated.
Fortunately, Luo Yu led the men and horses of the headquarters to follow closely behind, pinned down, and attacked the Abba Division, so that the remnants of the defeated army led by the Shotu retreated to Dujin Mountain, barely stopping the decline.
Because Abba led the army to attack the Dujin Mountain, it had invaded the Turkic territory for nearly a thousand miles, and the lone army was deep, and the food and grass supply was becoming increasingly scarce, which was not conducive to holding on to the Turks for too long. Therefore, Abba sent people to meet the map on the Dujin Mountain, and asked him for all the grain, rice, and money and silk that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty had awarded him as a condition for withdrawing his troops from the Turkic territory. He also openly shouted to the city that if he did not agree to the withdrawal conditions they proposed, he would capture the town of Zihe, where his tent was located, and drive the tribe into the adjacent Sui Dynasty.
He wanted to send Yongyu Lu to lead the army to reinforce Dujin Mountain and fight with Abba to the end, but at this time, he received a military report that the Western Turk Apo Khan had learned the news that Tiele had invaded the territory of the Eastern Turks, and had sent people to get in touch with Abba to join forces to destroy the Setu tribe and unify the eastern and western Turkic tribes.
If Apo had led his army to attack from the west at this time, the tribe would have faced the danger of being attacked on two sides and fighting on two fronts at the same time, and the odds of victory were less than one percent. In order to avoid the risk of annihilation, he had to send someone to recover the envoys sent by Abba halfway through, in exchange for satisfying all the conditions proposed by Abba and leaving the army with Abba to call off the army and turn around to deal exclusively with Awa's attack.
At this time, Changsun Sheng, who led the army to stay in Baidao Prefecture, took the initiative to lend a helping hand to the photo. Changsun Sheng personally rushed to Dujin Mountain to ask for a photogram, and assured him that as long as he was willing to set off south to Chang'an immediately to meet the emperor of the Great Sui, the 50,000 Sui soldiers stationed in Baidao Prefecture would join hands with the tribe of the photograph to drive the Abba division out of the Turkic territory, and the emperor of the Great Sui could also send troops to the northwest at the request of the photograph, sweep away the Apo department in one fell swoop, and help the map realize the unification of the eastern and western Turks.
At this time, the desperate photographer had no other way to find it, so he had to agree to Changsun Sheng. At the same time, Li Che led 50,000 Sui troops into Turkic territory and resisted the attacks launched by Abba and Apo against the Eastern Turks. A deal between the two countries was reached.
Li Che led 50,000 Sui troops to take on the important task of resisting the southern invasion of the Abba tribe in the north, and replaced the Eastern Turkic army led by Deyong Yulu to strengthen the defense of the west, and successfully forced Apo to dispel the idea of launching an attack on the East Turks from the west.
Before Li Che led his army north, he had already figured out the details of the Abba Division, and adopted a strategy of only defending but not attacking at Dujin Mountain, and fought a protracted battle with the Abba Division. After less than a month of holding each other, Abbasa had to return from the Turkic territory due to the lack of food and grass in the rear, and took the initiative to withdraw to Mobei.
Changsun Sheng used his outstanding military and diplomatic skills to not only successfully force the Eastern Turkic Great Khan to be forced to go south to meet the Emperor of Sui, but also helped the tribe to resolve an imminent crisis of annihilation, and at the same time made Kehe Dunyuwen Pranruo's attempt to use Nanchen to increase the weight of negotiations between the Turks and the Sui Dynasty, and even prevented the plan of the Emperor to go to Chang'an to meet the Emperor of Sui in person, which can be called a major victory over the Turks since the opening of the Sui Dynasty.
As the supreme military commander and administrator of the Sui Dynasty in Hebei, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, adopted Changsun Sheng's advice and dared to let go of the military and diplomatic command related to the Turks to Changsun Sheng for the time being, ensuring that the Sui Dynasty always maintained an active and high-pressure posture towards the Eastern Turks in military and diplomatic aspects, and in the process of specific implementation, it was closely linked and linked, which finally contributed to this major victory. Yang Guang himself will also benefit from this major victory, standing out from the princes, including the crown prince Yang Yong, and becoming the best candidate for a great task in the eyes of Yang Jian, the ancestor of Sui, laying a solid foundation for him to win greater glory in his future life journey.
As far as the growth and decline of power in the Eastern Turks is concerned, the Turki Khan was entrusted by the Turki Khan to temporarily take charge of the tribal power after the Tutu went south. Yang Guang and Changsun Sheng not only fulfilled the promise they had made to Dyegan, but also supported the pro-Sui forces in the Eastern Turkic countries, represented by Chu Luo's father and son, laying the groundwork for the further close development of relations between the Great Sui and the Eastern Turks in the coming period.
