Chapter 132: The Turks Move South Again
Just when Li Yin was busy with the rebellion of the Li family, the southern part of the grassland was snowing heavily for more than a month, resulting in many deaths and injuries of cattle and sheep in the tribe, and there were still more than a month before the cold winter.
When faced with this situation, the steppe people generally have two choices, one is to annex other tribes, and the other is to plunder south.
Since the siege of Yang Guangyanmen in the eleventh year of the Great Cause, although the Turks returned in vain, the fear and respect for the Sui Dynasty before were gone, so since then, although Shibi Khan did not personally organize an attack on the Sui, some tribes have gone south from time to time to plunder.
Therefore, after the snow disaster in the southern grasslands at this time, all the tribes had the same idea and went south to snatch the supplies of the Sui Dynasty!
So, a Turkic cavalry composed of 70,000 people entered Dingxiang County in the northernmost way, and after plundering, they came to Mayi County again.
After Li Yin received the urgent military information from Yanmen County, he hurried back to Yanmen Pass.
Yanmen Taishou Qiu Xingshan had died of illness not long ago, and then Li Yin moved his home and office to the Taishou Mansion, as soon as he walked into the Taishou Mansion, Aduoer ran to him in a hurry, shouting: "Li Yin, there is an enemy coming to attack our Tabu tribe!" ”
Adol was eighteen years old at this time, just the age of a flower, not to mention good-looking, and she was still the youngest daughter of the Tabu chief Bileg, and in the past two years, I don't know how many people have asked for marriage to Bileg.
Bilegg was very fond of his youngest daughter, and promised that she would make her own decisions about her marriage, and whenever anyone came to ask Ador, Ador would drive out all the suitors.
Bilege felt very helpless about this, knowing that Adol Er had a favorite person, although she didn't say it to Bileg, but just look at her a girl's house every other day and run to Yanmen Pass, as long as she is not blind, you can know who she likes is.
Li Yin is not a junior brother in love, and he also knows Ah Duoer's intentions, but at this time, he really has no time to care about his children's private affairs, so he can only pretend to be confused.
At this time, Li Yin listened to Adol's words and asked carefully, only to know that the 50,000 cavalry of the Turks could not grab much in Mayi County, so he sent a horse to wander around the north of Lingqiu County, Tabu, Urad and other tribes, with bad intentions, so the chief Bilegh sent Adol to ask Li Yin for help.
The Tabu tribe, the Urat tribe and the Valin tribe who fled south at the beginning, since they settled in the north of Lingqiu County, in the past two years, due to the convenience of trade with the Han people, and the continuous investment of other small tribes, so their wealth and strength have increased a lot, and it is not surprising that they were targeted by the 50,000 Turkic cavalry at this time.
After thinking for a while, Li Yin said to Ah Duo'er: "You go back and tell your father, I will personally lead my troops to support you as soon as possible, and help you drive away the enemy who wants to take away the cattle and sheep from the herdsmen's house." ”
Adol said happily: "I knew you would come to help us, the guy in the Tulu Valley insisted that you would not help us, I quarreled with him for a long time, and I almost fought with him." ”
"Who is the Turu Valley?" Li Yin asked curiously.
Adol casually explained: "That's the son of a small tribal chieftain, an arrogant guy, what do you want him to do?" ”
Li Yin then sent Ah Duoer to the outside of Yanmen Pass, Ah Duoer glanced at Li Yin with affection, and then rode on the jujube red horse and galloped north with the tribal warriors.
Li Yin also quickly gathered the five thousand cavalry who accompanied him to fight everywhere after Aduoer left, and headed for Lingqiu County. The size of Li Yin's cavalry has always been maintained at 5,000 people, because the materials required to maintain the cavalry are relatively large, and 5,000 cavalry happens to be the most suitable number at present.
After Adol returned to the tribe with the people, she was about to tell her father about the results of this trip, but a sturdy man suddenly appeared in front of Adol, the man looked into the distance, and sneered: "Adol, why did you come back by yourself, what did I say before?" Han people are all treacherous guys, how can they come to our rescue when we are in trouble? ”
After he came to the Tabu tribe, what he wanted to do most was to marry Adol, who had the reputation of "Prairie Pearl", but he learned that Adol liked Li Yin, the controller of Yanmen County, so he was naturally hostile to Li Yin.
Adol frowned lightly and said: "It is true that there are treacherous villains among the Han people, but there are also heroes who keep their promises, and the people of the grassland are not all people who keep their promises, there are many villains who are bright and dark!" ”
After hearing this, Tulu Valley was speechless for a while.
When Adol's father heard the commotion, he walked out with the chief of the Urat tribe of Agora and the chief of the Warin tribe, and he said, "Adol, will Li Lang come to help us retreat from the enemy?" ”
"Daddy, don't worry, he said that he will personally lead his troops to support you as soon as possible, and help us drive away the enemy who wants to take away the cattle and sheep from the herdsmen's house." ”
Tulu Gu smiled: "This kind of prevarication at a glance, and you will believe him as simply as Adoer, I think that when we are about to decide the victory with the enemy, that despicable Han man will not necessarily appear." ”
Ah Duoer puffed up his waist and said: "Tulu Valley, you shut up for me, I don't allow you to say this Li Yin!" ”
Tulu Valley muttered in a muffled voice: "The Han people are unreliable, don't regret it when you know that he betrayed us!" I bet that Li Yin will definitely not come to help us retreat from the enemy, we better plan early! ”
As soon as Tulu Valley's words fell, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and Tulu Valley said in a little panic: "Is the enemy coming?" ”
Bileg said in a deep voice: "The voice is coming from the south, it should be Li Lang who will bring someone to help us, let's go out to meet him!" ”
Ador glanced at Tulu Valley with a little disdain, snorted twice, and then walked out with Bileg, leaving Tulu Valley standing alone with a pale face.
After Li Yin came to the Tabu tribe with five thousand cavalry, he was warmly welcomed into the tent by Bileg and others, and Adol said to Li Yin with a smile: "If you really come, I know you won't lie to me." ”
Li Yin said: "What I promised you, naturally I will not break my word." After hearing this, Adol nodded happily.
Li Yin then consulted with Bilege and others on how to deal with the enemy, and soon after, the warriors of the various tribes gathered together and prepared to take the initiative to repel the enemy.
