(The cucumber pile is also called Huanghualing, speaking of the cucumber pile as a watchman, you may not know its name, but the legend of Yang Ye's ancient battlefield of the Liao Golden Beach is probably known to everyone, this golden beach is at the northern foot of this cucumber pile, the left bank of the Sanggan River, is a very important military place in the Central Plains.) ）

Decades ago, the Mobei generation was originally a Rouran world, which can be described as a flourishing time, even Gao Huan, Gao Cheng's father and son had to accept Princess Rouran in order to stabilize their power. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and Rouran was rebelled by the tribes and slaves who were enslaved by it, and her power was greatly reduced.

The Turkic Department under the rule of Rouran took advantage of the situation to rise, and the joint Gaoche broke up Rouran, and Mobei Rouran was divided into two parts, the east and the west were defeated by the Turks again, and the whole country had to take refuge in Northern Qi. Emperor Wenxuan of Northern Qi sent troops from Jinyang to the north to reject the Turks, welcomed Rouran, and settled him in Mayichuan.

However, Rouran was never truly loyal to the Northern Qi, and their defection to the Northern Qi was just an expedient measure, just to seek respite, and they did not have the slightest gratitude to the Northern Qi to Gao Huan. In the eyes of the Rouran aristocracy, the Northern Qi was still the weak and bullying person who bought peace by marrying the princess of his own clan, because when they took root in the Northern Qi and regained their strength, they showed their bloody fangs.

The following year, Rouran rebelled and went south to Yanzhou. Gao Yang personally led the troops to meet the battle, the momentum was like a rainbow, and he was invincible, so he retreated as an advance and temporarily avoided the edge. Gao Yang saw through Rouran's plan, so he planned and ordered the army to be a teacher, and he personally led 2,000 cavalry to the palace.

Sure enough, as Gao Yang expected, Rouran heard that the Northern Qi troops had retreated, and immediately made a comeback and besieged Gao Yang in the cucumber pile. Maybe Rouran doubted the authenticity of the Lord of Qi himself, or maybe he thought that the victory was in his hands, and he was worried that Gao Yang would set a trap, so they did not take advantage of the night to besiege him.

The next day, Gao Yang took the lead, risking arrows and stones to break through desperately, the Qi army was infected by him, and each regarded death as home, and broke out a strong combat effectiveness, and finally turned defeat into victory, and beat the Rouran people to ambush the corpse for twenty miles, so that they were not embarrassed, and more than 30,000 Rouran troops were captured.

After the battle of cucumber piles, the northern Turks, Khitans, Kumoxi, Rouran and other departments were all heartbroken, and they did not dare to go south for a while. The national strength of the Northern Qi Dynasty is thriving and prosperous.

If Gao Yang can always be so wise and martial, no matter how talented Yu Wenyong is and how cunning Yang Jian is, the momentum of Northern Qi's domination of the world will be unstoppable. It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, the cruelty in Gao Yang's bones, and the desolation finally made him infamous as a perverted and faint king, and it also made the prosperity of Northern Qi a flash in the pan.

After more than 20 years, he still remembers the Northern Qi Dynasty, which was once very prosperous. Now in the face of the naked provocation of the prince of Qi, he has no reason to refuse to fight.

You must know that Gao Yang is one of the few people who admire him in his life, and his happiness is just a dry smell, how can he compare with Gao Yang, not to mention that Rouran was only a defeated general of the Turks back then, and he can't talk about it with the Turks today.

Happy wants to fight it out and make a quick decision, why doesn't he want to capture Happy and open the stalemate. If it is a tough battle, he may still have concerns, a field battle on the plains, as soon as the Turkic iron cavalry comes out, who will compete?

In the past three days, neither the Qi army nor the Turks have taken the initiative to provoke, and the noisy Shuozhou City finally has a rare moment of calm, but almost everyone can feel the depression under the calm, and the solemn atmosphere of war diffused in the air is also becoming more and more intense.

……

"Great Khan, thirty miles away is the cucumber pile, the Qi army is in front of us, why don't we take advantage of the night to kill them, kill them by surprise, annihilate the Qi army in one fell swoop, and capture the bullshit prince of the Qi country?"

"Idiot! Do you think Happy Xiao'er will be defenseless since he has set up a battle? This is the place of Qi people, if we fall into the enemy's ambush, won't we suffer heavy losses?! He furrowed his eyebrows, but there was not much anger in his eyes.

Don't wonder the soldiers under his command are so impatient, it is really that the Turks have suffered repeated setbacks these days, which makes them even more angry when they have always prided themselves on being invincible in the world. Moreover, the time away from home is not short, and they will inevitably feel homesick.

"What's going on in Shuozhou now?" After a pause, he asked again.

"Great Khan, Shuozhou City is still well guarded, and the garrison on the city is tight, I'm afraid there are no less than 50,000 people."

"Fifty thousand?" He was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "Happy, happy, Shuozhou City is no more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and there are 80,000 people who come to this cucumber pile, where are the 50,000 people in Shuozhou City?" I'm afraid that the people in the city are disguised to confuse Ben Khan? ”

"Great Khan, listen to what you mean, Shuozhou City is empty, isn't it a good opportunity for us to attack?"

He bowed his head and chuckled: "Don't worry, although Xing'er is young, he has fought dozens of battles in the south and the north, and there is almost no defeat, we must not underestimate him." Maybe Xing Xing deliberately exposed his flaws to lure Ben Khan to attack the city? Everything will be known tomorrow before the battle with Happy Child, and besides, ......"

"I want to see him as a Khan, I'm not a spy, you can't kill me!"

He was about to continue, but there was a sudden commotion outside the tent. He frowned, and shouted in a deep voice, "What's the noise? ”

"Great Khan, I caught a spy of Qi people."

His eyes widened, and he shouted softly, "Oh? Bring it in! ”

"Let go of me, I'm really not a spy!"

"Get in!"

In the midst of an argument, a middle-aged man in disheveled clothes was rudely escorted into the tent by four large-shouldered, round-waisted, fierce-looking Turkic soldiers.

"Kneel, when you see the Great Khan, you dare not worship?!"

Before the middle-aged man could react when he entered the tent, his leg was violently pushed by the Turkic soldiers, and when he knelt on the ground with a muffled snort, he was pressed down by someone and couldn't move at all.

"Spy, what is your purpose, why don't you recruit it truthfully?" A Turkic general immediately rebuked angrily.

"Wronged, Great Khan, I'm not a spy, I'm really not a spy!" The middle-aged man gave up the struggle, looked at the majestic and unparalleled with a frightened face, and sat on his bowl with a golden sword, and said loudly.

"I dare to tell the difference, I really don't know whether I am alive or dead!" The Turkic general took a step forward, glared at the middle-aged man with a sinister face, and shouted; "Left and right, cut off this spy's left hand, and see if he dares to lie!"

"Great Khan, although the villain is from Qi Ying, he is by no means a spy, please listen to the villain!" Looking at the Turkic soldier approaching like a wolf and a tiger with a blade, the middle-aged man's face was as pale as earth, and while crying in fear, he kept kowtowing, and his forehead turned red after just a few strokes.

"Wait!" The Khan finally spoke, stopping the Turkic soldiers. Looking at the middle-aged man condescendingly, his bowl Khan's eyes were cold, without the slightest emotion, and he said indifferently: "If your intentions can't satisfy Ben Khan, you yourself know the consequences!" ”

"Thank you Great Khan, thank you Great Khan!"

The middle-aged man cried with joy, looked at him with a sneer, and said: "The Great Khan, the villain's name is Zhang Daniu, this time he is here to serve the Great Khan, and he is willing to lead the horse for the Great Khan, and serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”

Before Zhang Daniu's words came out, the Turkic generals not far away all sneered at him and said disdainfully: "I have thousands of Turkic warriors, which one is not stronger than you, what is the use of the Great Khan asking you?" ”

"Great Khan, the villain knows that you want to be captured alive, and the villain has some news here that may be useful to the Great Khan!"

After Zhang Daniu finished speaking, he looked at him with a look of hope, but to his disappointment, his bowl Khan's expression was still calm and majestic, and he was not moved at all, but said coldly: "You are originally a Qi person, how can you hope that the Qi country will be defeated?" Didn't you want to trick Ben Khan? ”

"The villain doesn't dare, the big khan is clear!" Zhang Daniu hurriedly defended: "The villain does not dare to deceive the Great Khan, the villain surrenders to the Great Khan with selfish intentions, and the villain hopes to use the hand of the Great Khan to avenge the killing of his father!" ”

"Oh?" His brow twitched slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. Zhang Daniu took a deep breath, a monstrous hatred suddenly burst out of his eyes, and his voice was extremely cold, "Five days ago, my father begged hard outside the city, but Fu Fu refused to open the door, not only ordered my father to be brutally killed, but also beat the villain repeatedly!" ”

The prince was happy to have a benevolent name, but in fact he was the most hypocritical, and he was in collusion with Fu Fu, and he turned a blind eye to the people who died tragically outside the city that day, let alone investigate Fu Fu's guilt. I was born and died for the Gao family, but now my family is ruined, and I was thrown away by him, such a monarch and a country should have perished a long time ago! ”

As he spoke, Zhang Da Niu raised his head suddenly, looked at him firmly, and said: "As long as the Great Khan can help the villain avenge his hatred, the villain is willing to be a cow and a horse for the Great Khan, until death!" ”

"Is that so?"

"It's hypocritical to be happy!"

Everyone in the tent couldn't help but talk in a low voice, feeling even more happy and disgusted, and their hostility towards Zhang Daniu couldn't help but subside.

He still kept his composure, looked at Zhang Daniu lightly and said: "Ben Khan asked you, how many soldiers and horses are there around you on this cucumber pile?" ”

"Back to the Great Khan, Happy led a total of 80,000 horses, but 50,000 of them were pretended to be people, and only 30,000 were capable of fighting." Zhang Daniu replied respectfully, his voice very smooth.

"50,000 people, it's so bold to be happy, and it's really arrogant!"

The Turkic generals could not help but be in an uproar. If what Zhang Daniu said is true, then Shuozhou City must be heavily guarded, and there must be a plan. It's just that in the face of a 100,000-strong Turkic army, happy that there are only 30,000 horses, where does his self-confidence and courage come from.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Zhang Daniu said again: "Great Khan, I am glad to ask you to fight a decisive battle in the cucumber pile, but it is just to attract your attention, so that he can send troops to attack your camp outside Shuozhou City." It is a fact that Shuozhou City is heavily guarded, and if the Great Khan mistakenly thinks that he is happy to bluff and leads his army to attack the city, he will fall into the trick of happy people. I am glad that there is a strange soldier under my command, all of them are brave and good at fighting, coming and going like the wind, it is very difficult to deal with, the Great Khan must be careful! ”
