Chapter 357: King Zuozhu
The vast prairie is boundless, like a big green carpet that spreads all the way to the sky. The red and bright morning sun is rising from the horizon www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, gilding the vast grassland with a layer of gold. The breeze was filled with the aroma of the earth, and Zhang Bao'er's caravan had been on the prairie for two whole days.
Zhang Baoer reined in his horse, looked at a fierce grassland man, and shouted: "Niger! It's almost there, right? ”
The man named Nizhile was the head of a hundred households under the Turkic Khanate's Zuoxian King Mojianlian.
Along the way, Zhang Baoer listened to Wei Xianyun tell him about Turkic history.
Before the rise of the Turks, the Turkic tribes were vassals of the Rouran Khanate and became Rouran forging slaves.
Later, the Turks defeated Rouran, and Ashina Tumen called it Ili Khan, and established a vast Turkic khanate.
During the Sui Dynasty, the Turks launched a major attack on the Sui Dynasty from the Gansu area, and Emperor Wen of Sui had to send troops to resist and build the Great Wall.
The Turkic Shabalu Khan ascended the throne, and the Datou Khan refused to recognize the nominal suzerainty of the Shabalu Khan, and under the discord and attack of the Sui Dynasty, the Turks officially divided the eastern and western regions.
In the third year of Zhenguan, Taizong ordered Li Jing to command 100,000 troops and split up to attack the Eastern Turks.
Li Jing won a surprising victory, breaking the enemy army, Jieli Khan was captured, and the Eastern Turks perished.
In the second year of Xianqing, the Tang Dynasty sent Suding to march towards the Western Turks, and Helu Khan raised 100,000 cavalry from the Western Turks to refuse, Helu was defeated, his father and son were captured, and the Western Turks died.
In the first year of Yongchun, the Jieli Khan tribe Ashina Gu rebelled, recruited the remnants of the Turks, and gradually became stronger, and established himself as the Jieli Khan. After Gu Lulu established himself as a khan, he conquered the east and the west, and made frequent attacks, re-establishing the foundation of the Turkic Khanate.
After two years of longevity, Gu Lulu died of illness, his son was young, and his younger brother Mo Si established himself as a khan. The Tang Dynasty appointed Zhang Renyuan, the general of Zuotunwei, as the general of Shuofang Dao to defeat the invading Turkic army. Ren was willing to take advantage of the opportunity of the Mosi's western expedition to seize Monan, and build three surrendered cities in the north of the Yellow River. The three cities corresponded from end to end, cut off the road of the Turkic invasion to the south, and set up 1,800 beacons in the north of the mountain in Niutouchao. From then on, the Turks could not cross the mountains to the south to graze, and the Shuofang was no longer plundered by them. As a result, the Tang Dynasty reduced its army by tens of thousands.
After the death of Gu Lulu, the uncle of Mo Jianlian established himself as a khan, and Mo Jianlian became the king of the Turks.
Niger was ordered by Mo Jianlian to find someone who was good at taming horses.
Zhang Bao'er, who was going to return to Luzhou, overheard Nirile talking to others, and asked around if there was a master horse trainer, and a bold decision flashed through his mind.
After repeated discussions with Wei Xianyun, Zhang Baoer changed the plan of the trip.
Zhang Baoer asked Suba Mao to recommend himself and showed Niri Le's unique skill of horse taming.
Seeing this situation, Niriil, who was already disheartened, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and without hesitation, he took Zhang Bao'er and his party to the Turkic hinterland to meet King Zuoxian.
"It's almost there, there is half a day's journey, and you will reach King Zuoxian's sweat tent!" Niger was very polite to Zhang Baoer.
Zhang Baoer came to the Turkic territory, naturally for the Turkic thoroughbred.
Zhang Baoer didn't know what kind of encounter he would encounter on this Turkic trip, but he was not worried. But Jiang Yuqiao and Uncle Hua are different, they are worried along the way, for fear that Zhang Baoer will have some accidents.
"Niger, you Zuoxian King ......"
Zhang Bao'er stopped halfway through speaking, and someone galloped on a horse in the distance, and it seemed that there were quite a few people.
Zhang Bao'er turned her head and asked suspiciously: "Nirile, look at it, is this your person?" ”
Nigerle had already noticed the person opposite, he shook his head, and as the sound of the horse's hooves got closer and closer, Nigerle's expression became solemn.
Zhang Baoer also found out that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly glanced at Hou Jie.
Hou Jie roared: "Cloth car array!" ”
With Hou Jie's order, those handlebar and child slaves immediately took action.
……
Before leaving Luzhou, the child slaves were trained in the formation of carts. In the days when they came out, they were not idle, and Hou Jie would let them train several times a day, including those handlebar styles. At the beginning, there were still a lot of complaints from the handlebar stylers, but after Zhang Baoer announced that they would double the remuneration for each person, they all shut up, and the training was good.
Hou Jie gave an order, and the child slave cars and handlebar types moved very neatly, and dozens of big cars were arranged in a defensive formation.
As soon as the chariot formation was set up, the horsemen had already approached.
The first few people seemed to be fleeing in a hurry, while the group of men and horses behind them were in hot pursuit, and every now and then they would shoot arrows.
When he got closer, Niger suddenly shouted, "Not good! It's King Zuoxian! ”
"King Zuoxian?" Zhang Bao'er looked at the fleeing people, one of them was dressed more gorgeously, and the rest of the horses surrounded him, presumably the Zuoxian King that Niger said.
Zhang Bao'er asked puzzledly, "How could King Zuo Xian be hunted down and killed?" ”
"I don't know! Zhang Gongzi, hurry up and let them in! Niger was anxious.
Zhang Bao'er nodded, and Hou Jie immediately commanded to move a big cart away, and put Mo Jianlian and his five subordinates and horses into the cart formation.
As soon as the child slave closed the cart formation, the other party's pursuers arrived.
More than a hundred horsemen stopped in front of the car formation, everyone was dressed in black, their faces were covered with black scarves, their faces were not clear, and their fierce spirit rushed towards them.
Seeing that the people in the car array were all Han Chinese, they guessed that they were businessmen from the Tang Dynasty, and they were not polite, and shouted loudly in stammering Chinese: "Listen, the people on the other side quickly hand over the people who ran away just now, and I will let you go!" Otherwise, shoot and kill! ”
Zhang Bao'er didn't seem to hear his words, turned his head and smiled at Mo Jianlian: "Does King Zuo Xian have a good way to resist the enemy?" ”
"Who are you? How do you know I'm King Zuoxian? "Murphy was amazed.
Mo Jianlian is very fluent in Chinese, which makes Zhang Baoer can't help but have a good impression of him.
Niriel hurriedly came to Mo Jianlian: "King Zuoxian, I told him!" ”
"Niger, why are you?" It was then that Murchilian discovered Niger.
"King Zuoxian!" Niger pointed at Zhang Bao'er and said, "They are the horse trainers I invited!" ”
The person on the other side was already impatient: "I'll say dozens of times, if you don't hand over people, you're welcome." ”
"One, two......"
Although Jiang Yuqiao and Uncle Hua were strong in martial arts, they didn't have any bottom in their hearts in the face of a hundred and ten cavalrymen, and they looked at Zhang Bao'er.
Zhang Bao'er was not in a hurry, and said softly: "Father-in-law, I will listen to my signal later, and you, Uncle Hua, and Wang Maozhong will carry out a surprise attack on them." Remember, only the horse is hurt, not the man! ”
Jiang Yuqiao and the others nodded, signaling that they understood.
Wang Maozhong saw that he had a place to use, and he was also overjoyed, quite a bit of a gearing up.
