Next to the stable in the palace of King Qi, Gao Huan was taking Zihui and his almost two-year-old son to learn to ride a horse, and Er Zhu Caihuang said very nervously: "King, Jin'er is only two years old, this horseback riding is too early, right?" Gao Huan said indifferently: "My son is going to learn how to rule the world on horseback in the future, I want him to feel the feeling of bumps on horseback since he was a child, rest assured that I will hold him behind him, it's okay." ”

Lou Mingchun also said worriedly: "King, having said that, Jin'er is still young after all, and I am afraid that he will not be able to bear the bumps on the back of this horse." Er Zhu Caihuang hurriedly said: "Yes, king, you should wait for him to grow up before teaching him." Gao Huan was obviously a little unhappy, how could these women not understand the heart of a father, strict father and mother. At this time, the graceful princess who was arranging the harness next to her and preparing to gallop with Gao Huan also said: "In our Rouran, although the boys have grown up on horseback since childhood, they really want to be on horseback to be the size of Zihui, Jin'er is too small to understand the fun of riding a horse at all, and the bumps of the horse can easily break his neck and die." ”

Gao Huan was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Why didn't you say it earlier, you almost killed my son!" Letting the attendant take Zizhong away, Er Zhu Caihuang took the child with joy, and said to Gao Huan with a smile: "Thank you, king." Gao Huan always felt that this sentence hurt him, or hurt the relationship between him and Caihuang, and he suddenly lost interest in riding a horse.

Originally, he wanted to be a good father and a good example today. took his children to ride a horse and gallop, but as soon as the matter of the quilt Zizhong was high, he felt that riding a horse was boring, so he turned back to Zihui and said, "Why don't you take you to archery, this horseback riding is really boring." Zihui likes to ride horses very much, originally Gao Huan said that he was going to take him on a horse, and he was very excited to prepare for a long time, but at the moment he said that he couldn't go, he suddenly felt very discouraged, Gao Huan felt a little unbearable when he saw this, so he said: "It's really not good, I'll ride with you for a while, let's not run the horse, just take a slow walk, do you think it's good?" ”

He also listened to the words of the graceful princess, and was afraid that the horseback riding would be too intense and would hurt Zihui's fragile bones. After becoming a father, Gao Huan felt that he was more considerate of others than before, and could take care of others better. Zihui, who was still very disappointed, heard him say this, raised his head and his eyes glowed, and he shouted excitedly when he was full of blood in an instant: "Okay, yes! ”

The graceful princess turned over and got on the horse, and when she passed by his father and son, she looked at Gao Huan with great disdain and said, "Hmph, coward! Gao Huan was puzzled by her words, but Graceful had already shouted and galloped away.

In the court of Rouran in Mobei, Yu Jiulu sat in a big tent with his brows furrowed, and the northern border frequently heard the alarm of the invasion of the Turkic Talhan, they plundered the population and livestock of Rouran everywhere, and set fire to several of their forage fields in the north, most of the invading tribes were looted, and no one was left alive. Sancho, the right virtuous king, Yu Fuluo, the leader of Xianbei, and several chiefs of the Rouran tribe were also in the big tent.

Yu Jiulu raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was full of wrinkles at this time, and his hair was much grayer than before, looking very old. I only heard him say word by word: "Only gather all the Rouran tribes and allies to fight the Turks for a decisive battle." "The news of the Turkic invasion of the south has been coming since last autumn, and it has been more than half a year now, and the men and horses of Talhan suddenly appeared in the north, which is very lucky for Yu Jiulu, if they attack in winter, it is estimated that Rouran will be destroyed.

"To the south, my son-in-law, Gao Huan, the powerful prime minister of Wei, asked for support." It has come to the time when it is impossible to talk about face, before Rouran was a powerful nomad in the north in the Central Plains, a powerful army of death that moves at any time, they were high up at that time, but now, at this moment, a more powerful and murderous nation has appeared than Rouran, they come from the farther north, and their strength is also stronger.

In the face of the menacing Turks, Rouran was not prepared, so they lost to their opponents in team battles several times in a row, and have been in a situation of passive beating, coupled with Yu Jiulu's old age, unwilling to make a big move, every time the Turkic Department is mainly to negotiate peace and avoid war, which also led to the Rouran people's morale is very hit, and some tribes have broken away from Rouran's control and turned to the arms of the Turks, among which the Qiang, Di, and Qian tribes in the northwest and Xinjiang are the mainstay.

Without the support of foreign aid, and the internal power was greatly restricted, so the Rouran could not defeat the Turks had been widely spread in Mobei, and the Rouran people, who had dominated the Mobei steppe for almost two centuries, began to decline.

Yu Jiulu sent Ejit, Gao Huan's brother-in-law to Yecheng to ask him for help. On his side, he is preparing to have a decisive battle with Tarkhan in the near future, and it doesn't matter if he can't defeat the Turks, but at least he wants to kill Tarhan, a lackey of the Turks.

Yu Jiulu gathered nearly 100,000 cavalry to form a huge army and finally found 10,000 men of Tarhan on the shores of Lake Ptolemy, where a fierce battle began. On the surface, Yu Jiulu has an absolute advantage in numbers, but soon after the start of the war, the news came that Sancho and Yuvro had defected to the enemy, and the follow-up troops had not kept up in time, at this time Yu Jiulu was surrounded by fifteen thousand royal court guards, and according to this strength, he could also fight head-on with Talhan's troops, but unfortunately, when Yu Jiulu came to the Ptolemy Lake, he found that the scouts had obtained the news that it was completely false information, and the army of 100,000 people of the Turkic leader Golden Horde Khan had been waiting for him to come from the net.

Yu Jiulu's horse team lined up in several columns with a longitudinal line of 800 meters, and 15,000 men and horses were not less, but the troops of the Golden Horde Khan on the opposite side were all over the mountains, and many Rouran people were standing here with the consciousness of death in their hearts at this moment. Yu Jiulu asked the sergeant to blow the horn of the attack, whining through the grassland, he pulled out his sword and loudly mobilized the Rouran army before the battle: "My people, the moment related to the life and death of our clan has come, and the immortal heaven will surely bless us with a great victory!" With a wave of the sword and a shout of kill, the Rouran troops began to roar and want the Turks to make a death charge.

The Golden Horde Khan rode on a black war horse covered in golden armor, built a pergola with his hands, and watched a large number of Rouran people rush over, and his ministers asked to attack to meet Yu Jiulu, the Golden Horde Khan smiled, and let people dance the white deer and wolf flag, only to see the cavalry took out their bows and arrows to aim at the Rouran cavalry who were rushing towards them, and with an order, a rain of arrows shot from the sky above the position to the opposite side and instantly covered the heads of the Rouran cavalry, and the sound of clanging and the neighing of people and horses, and the screams of arrows continued.

Yu Jiulu also took out his bow and arrows and aimed them at the enemy, shouting, "Bow and arrow to attack!" "Mounted archery is a basic skill necessary for the steppe people, not only to be able to ride and shoot, but also to be able to ride and shoot on the back of a running horse, which is why the later Turks can dominate Europe, because the archers are more focused on fixed stake aiming attacks, and there are very few peoples like Rouran and Turkic who can ride and shoot on horseback.

The Rouran troops began to counterattack with bows and arrows, and the Turks also had many arrows that fell off their horses, and the Golden Horde Khan only let people blow their horns at this time, and the whimpering sound resounded in the sky, and a large number of Turkic cavalry began to move in a roundabout way, which is also their unique cavalry tactics, adopting the strategy of quickly outflanking and flanking strikes, which is the experience of the struggle between them and many tribes, and it has been tried and tested.

Yu Jiulu suddenly found that a large number of Turkic cavalry had also appeared in the rear of his army, and they were already under siege at the moment, and the most hateful thing was that he found that there were still troops of Sancho and Yuvro, the right sage king. The cavalry around him kept falling, and he didn't care about a head-on fight with the Golden Horde at the moment, so he led the rest of his men and horses to retreat to meet those who wanted to surround them.

For a while, there was a sword on horseback, both sides were killed in close combat, and the Golden Horde Khan watched quietly from a distance, and the generals under him who asked for battle were all stopped by him, and he smiled and said: "We just need to watch Yu Jiulu being killed by his own subordinates and former allies, and we don't have to get involved." Yu Jiulu's people gradually became fewer and fewer, but the enemy's troops around him were increasing, and he suddenly saw Yu Fuluo, so he pointed at him and scolded: "Immortal Heaven is above, I will definitely kill you with such a treacherous lackey." Yu Fuluo also saw him, and rode on his horse and pretended to salute Yu Jiulu elegantly: "Khan, although I am a treacherous villain, but your subordinate Youxian Wang is not a good thing, he bewitched me, and besides, what the Golden Horde Khan promised me is much more generous than you." ”

"Despicable villain!" Yu Jiulu pulled out his bow and shot an arrow, Yu Fuluo had already prepared, lowered his head and flashed the arrow, and then said angrily: "Give it to me, kill this old donkey." When the cavalry beside him heard this, he immediately rushed over, and Yu Jiulu drew his scimitar and responded.

The battle between the two sides on the shores of Lake Ptolemaic did not end until the evening, and Yu Jiulu was finally outnumbered and killed, and his head was cut off and sent to the Golden Horde. Looking at the goshawk banner all over the ground (the Rouran people believe in the goshawk as their god), and then looking at the white deer (the totem of the ****** people) and the blue wolf (the totem of the Western Turks) flags behind him, he was very satisfied, and now Rouran was only one step away from destruction.

King Youxian took his own people as an internal response, leading the Turks all the way south to the court of Rouran, while King Zuoxian led the rest of Rouran to go south to join Gao Huan. One pursues and one routs. Rouran is really only one step away from destruction.

Gao Huan has left 20,000 people in Hengzhou under his control, but this point of people is only enough to defend, so he mobilized Gao Aocao and Murong Shaozong's two main forces to Yanmen, such a large transfer of troops Yuwentai has been reported, he plans to take advantage of Gao Huan in the north and the Turks to fight and fight when they sneak attack Luoyang and Yecheng, before and after the attack Gao Huan will definitely die, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the sub-node plan, he sent Xie Sichun as a messenger from the northwest trail north to find the Golden Horde Khan to form an alliance.

Jinyang, Gao Huan has moved the headquarters from Yecheng here at the moment, after receiving the players of Ejit, he gathered the troops to go north for the first time, and when he left, he said goodbye to Lou Mingchun, Erzhu Caihuang and Princess Curvace, Curvaceous cried and said to him that he must rescue his father Yu Jiulu, Gao Huan solemnly agreed to her, but just after arriving in Jinyang, he got the news that Yu Jiulu died in battle, sometimes think about the things in this world are so ironic, and reputation is so tricky.

Gao Huan asked Ejit to go back to Yecheng to explain to Grace by himself, he really didn't have the heart to spend any more energy on this matter. Qingluo was also sent by him to go undercover in Guanzhong, because he knew that Yuwentai would definitely make a move, and he really didn't dare to go north rashly at the moment. But he brought Yaoqin with him on this march, firstly, to relieve the loneliness of the march, he felt that Yaoqin was a gentle, considerate and careful woman who understood him.

The Golden Horde Khan received Sichun in the big tent, and after reading Yuwentai's secret letter, he smiled and threw the letter aside, and then said to Xie Sichun: "Please tell me, guests from afar, why do I want to form an alliance with you?" We Turks have ruled the world, and even the mighty Rouran has been destroyed by us, and we really can't think of a reason to form an alliance with you. (To be continued.) )
