Xie Sichun also smiled when he heard this: "Khan, since ancient times, I have never heard of anyone who does not need allies, even a leader as powerful as Xiongnu Shan Yu was eventually wiped out from history because he had no allies. We Central Plains people have a saying: three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang. In time, you are now as brilliant as the sun, but without the support of the stars, how can you show your strength? An opponent like Gao Huan is not comparable to Yu Jiulu. Don't underestimate him! ”

The Golden Horde Khan smiled and said sarcastically: "That's right, your prime minister can't defeat him for many years. He suddenly changed his words: "But the strength of our Turks is not something that you Central Plains people can know, and only when you get to the battlefield will you understand your vulnerability." The tribal chiefs inside the tent burst out laughing.

The Golden Horde Khan took a sip of his wine glass and continued: "This was originally a big tent that belonged to Yu Jiulu, but now it has become my bedroom, and I believe that one day the palace of your Han people will also be mine." The chiefs cheered loudly.

"Maybe Khan you are right, but the overlords of this steppe have been born one after another, and one nation has taken over the rule of another, and it has not stopped for hundreds of years. In the Central Plains south of the Great Wall, we Han people have always ruled that land for thousands of years, and no ethnic group can replace us. Xie Sichun shot back without being arrogant or humble.

"You!" The Golden Horde stood up violently and wanted to be angry, but just as everyone was nervously watching how he would execute this Han man, he suddenly laughed and said: "My friend, you are right, you also need allies in strong opponents, and I can promise to form an alliance with you." But the conditions have to be reopened, and it is up to me to open it. Xie Sichun got up and said respectfully: "As you said, I am waiting for your letter of alliance." He bowed deeply to the Golden Horde, then turned and withdrew.

When he came to the outside of the tent, he grabbed the guard next to him and gasped for breath, it was really dangerous just now, and he was almost killed. But fortunately, he got the promise of the Golden Horde without danger, although he may put forward some rude demands and conditions, but he is still confident to convince him, if he can't convince him, then he can only go back and persuade Yuwentai to accept the covenant, after all, he is the one who asks for it.

On the other hand, Gao Huan is also deploying a strategy to deal with the Golden Horde, without Murong Heng, many plans must be planned by him personally and arranged for people to carry them out. Only then did he understand how much work Murong Heng, who had previously served as a military advisor, had done for him. Army supplies need to be gathered from all over the country to Jinyang, people and horses are also assembled here, Jinyang City is overcrowded, all warehouses are full, all places that can live are also full.

Due to the delay in starting the war, the taverns and restaurants were crowded with soldiers from all over the country, and there were often public security incidents, and it became common for soldiers from all departments to see fights, which also gave Gao Huan a headache. So he issued a quiet order, ordering that once the soldiers who were picking quarrels and provoking troubles were arrested and the evidence was conclusive, they should be determined according to the minds of the troubled army, and fifty military sticks and tattoos would be distributed to the frontier. But this trick obviously didn't work enough. So he ordered the officers of all the units to sit together, and the sergeants under his command committed crimes, and the team was punished together, and the centurion was removed from his post because of this.

Gao Huan's troops gathered more and more, and this time it was the ****** of the whole country, with a total of nearly 400,000 troops gathering here one after another. After receiving the news that Yuwentai was not moving, he sent a letter to He Batsheng in Luoyang and instructed: "If Yuwentai comes to attack, it is necessary to negotiate with him for a long time, avoid the loss of troops as much as possible, and wait for his army to come back from the north to support."

In fact, Yuwentai did not move on the surface this time, in fact, he had already issued a military ******, and had already requisitioned an army of 150,000, but at present he was still waiting for the right time, once he knew that Gao Huan and the Golden Horde Khan were on fire in Mobei, he would come out of Tongguan and sweep the entire Henan land like a tiger out of the mountain, so that those cowards of the Eastern Wei Dynasty knew that he was powerful.

Gao Huan's army then began to march north, more than half of his troops are still infantry, and the rest are cavalry of uneven quality, but fortunately, he has excellent weapons and equipment, and the blacksmiths mobilized from all over the country have been assembled in Pingcheng as early as a month ago, and the grain, grass and clothing have been prepared in advance and transported there, for this battle against the Turks, Gao Huan can be said to have spared no effort, he thought that since Rouran has perished, he only needs to work hard once If he can defeat the Turks, then Mobei will no longer have a barbarian existence that can threaten him.

Gao Huan still vaguely remembered some details about history, the Turks were annihilated by the Tang Dynasty in later generations, but now the Sui Dynasty has not yet appeared, and the man named Yang Jian has not shown up. So he knew he still had a chance to change history, which is why he went to great lengths to eliminate the Golden Horde.

When Sima Ziru came from Yanzhou to support, he told Gao Huan about Rouran's tragic situation, and his scout spies learned about the news by pretending to be slaves and infiltrating the Mobei royal court. Yu Jiuru's clan has all been captured, all the men over the age of three have been killed, and the women who can give birth or can still work have been left. Among them, Yu Jiulu's children and the children of his three younger brothers were all beheaded in the royal court, and their own heads were all inserted into spears for public display.

The fate of the other Rouran nobles was also miserable, those who were lucky enough to surrender and become slaves of the Turkic nobles, and those who were unlucky were beheaded and exterminated. The situation of the Rouran people was even worse, the men were basically reduced to the slaves of the Turks, and most of the women were distributed to them as little wives or maids for the nobles.

When the Turks came in, they set fire to many tents, and they killed people at will, men, women, and children. Wanton robbery and rape, the entire Rouran Royal Court was like a purgatory on earth, full of burning ruins and broken walls, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, burning, and feces and urine. It has been said that people cannot control their bowel movements and bowel movements when they die.

Everywhere was the screams of the Rouran women and the beastly laughter of the Turks, and the spies witnessed a sixteen-year-old Rouran aristocratic girl being dragged into a tent by a dozen Turks and raped to death. All new life comes from death, and when a new power rises, it will inevitably bring down and destroy the old power, and the rise of the Turks is based on the demise of Rouran.

Most of the Rouran tribes were wiped out, and a small number of Rouran people either fled to the area around the six towns to seek protection, or went west into Gansu and Xinjiang to merge with other ethnic groups to form new tribal clans.

Gao Huan's army reached Pingcheng ten days later, by which time the Turkic advance had reached the land of the Six Towns, and the two towns of Rouxuan and Wuchuan were even attacked. But Rou Xuan was not so lucky, the whole town was razed to the ground, all the Han Chinese and ethnic minorities were killed or captured, the houses were burned, and the cattle and horses were taken captive. Rou Xuan was reduced to a dead city full of corpses.

Gao Huan clenched his fists when he saw this scene, his eyes were full of anger, and there was never a distinction between Gentiles and Han people in his mind, because he was educated without this concept, the unity of fifty-six nationalities, this is the directional thinking mode he has always had. But he was wrong, this was in ancient times when wars were still frequent, and when the great integration of the Chinese nation had not yet been reached, it was legitimate for the Turks to kill Rouran, it was legitimate for Rouran to kill the Han people, and it was also legitimate for the Han people to fight back and eliminate them.

But when everything was truly shown in front of him, he felt that the ferocity and greed of the ancient barbarian tribes could be magnified exponentially, and those records in the history books were just a drop in the bucket of the crimes they committed, and many events like Rou Xuan were probably forgotten, and even the annals of history would not record them. Gao Huan called Tai Shi Ling.

The Taishi official who accompanied him to record the words and deeds of the prime minister (it stands to reason is to record the words and deeds of the emperor, but the emperor is not the highest symbol of the country at the moment) is an old man named Marven, who looks like he is over sixty years old, short and slender, his eyes look bright, and he is wearing a very accurate official uniform: the unique costume of the Taishi Ling. With a brush and paper in hand, he wrote down the words and deeds of the prime minister at any time so that he could compile them into a history book and store them in the national archives when he returned.

"Record all the things that happened to Rou Xuan today, including the number of dead and wounded, the loss of property, and the number of enemies, these materials must be recorded in detail, and I will check them when I return to Pingcheng." Gao Huan stood on the city wall and looked at the fireworks in the city, and said to Marven with an expressionless face, and the Taishi quickly leaned over and responded: "No." The pen in his hand was writing something quickly.

After returning to Pingcheng, Gao Huan received information that there was a Turkic scout force with a number of about 5,000 in a hundred miles north of Wuchuan. He decided to use this as a knife for the troops, to give the Golden Horde a little color, so that he could also taste what it was like to be killed. He took Gao Aocao's troops as the main assault force, and Murong Shaozong was also equipped with 3,000 elite cavalry as flank support, this time he wanted to personally lead the team to the expedition, boost the morale of the Wei army, give his subordinates confidence, and tell them by his own actions: The Turks can also be defeated.

At this time, the six towns have basically all been evacuated into the Great Wall, so it has become a reality that there are no Han people north of the Great Wall, which is also Gao Huan's helpless move, in order to reduce the casualties of the people, only a large number of people moved them inward.

The night of the grassland is breezy, the bright moon is vast, Gao Huan's assault troops are marching quietly with horses wrapped in hooves, two horses running not far in front of them, they are scouts of their own side, and after a while, Gao Ao Cao ran from the front to find Gao Huan and reported: "King, the big thing is not good, the Turkic army of 5,000 people is a bait, there are a large number of ambushes not far behind them, do we want to withdraw the army back?" ”

"How many Turks are there in ambush?" Gao Huan asked ambivalently in his heart, when he set off, he said that he would come to take revenge, but now it is like this. Gao Aocao replied honestly: "I don't know the exact number, but there should be tens of thousands of people." "This is an inverse proportion, before they were 20,000 people fighting 5,000, but now they are tens of thousands of people fighting 20,000 themselves.

At this time, whether to retreat or continue to advance to assault the 5,000-strong force, Gao Huan hesitated, and then asked, "Did the Turks in ambush show any signs of discovering our army?" Gao Aocao replied honestly: "This is not very clear, presumably it should be that we don't know what we did at night, otherwise we would have met it a long time ago." Gao Huan was still not at ease, so he ordered the army to hide on the spot, and he followed the scouts and took Gao Aocao and Murong Shaozong to explore the movements of the Turkic ambush.

Gao Huan and his entourage of more than a dozen people quietly climbed up a hillside, he cautiously showed his head and looked down the hillside, only to see that the valley was full of tents and bonfires, the number was terrifying, it was estimated that there were seventy or eighty thousand people, and from time to time someone could hear someone talking, a language that Gao Huan did not understand at all, and he silently recited in his heart that this was the Turks. He waved his hand and told Gao Aocao and the others to slowly retreat.

The group quickly moved closer to their own troops, and asked Gao Huan as they walked, "What do you think?" Did they find us? Gao Aocao said with great certainty: "I'm sure there shouldn't be, otherwise they would have captured us a long time ago." Murong Shaozong also nodded in agreement: "We can take the opportunity to sneak up on them, I mean wait until they are asleep." ”

Gao Huan nodded in agreement: "You are right, they are also people, and they are also sleepless machines, so we will attack them while they are asleep in the second half of the night." Arrange it this way, General Murong, and your troops will serve as the main force to attract enemy fire head-on. General Gao, your troops are going down the mountain on the back of the enemy, I will ensure that there are no fish that slip through the net on the flank, how many of these tens of thousands of people can we kill, we will withdraw as soon as it is dawn, in short, don't fall in love with the war. ”

Just when everyone was discussing what tactics to use to eliminate this army, a few cavalry suddenly appeared on the hillside in the distance, and those cavalrymen also found Gao Huan and the others, and both sides were stunned. At this moment, someone among the cavalry suddenly shouted in a soft voice: "Who is here?" Hurry up and get your name out. Gao Huan knew that they had encountered the patrolling Turkic cavalry, and if these people went back to report their whereabouts, then their sneak attack plan would be in vain. So he glanced at Gao Aocao. Gao Huan and him walked forward slowly, and Gao Huan also said in a soft language: "We are refugees from Rouran who have fled, and we were originally going to Kangju, but we went the wrong way when it was dark at night.
