Chapter 52: Moving South to Dingxiang [Asking for a Double Monthly Pass]
Anuri's eyes flashed with bitter hatred, and she stood up suddenly, "I'm going to find him!" ”
Ah Siduo hurriedly stopped her, "Sister, don't be confused, now that there is no evidence, how can he admit it?" ”
Daoist Sun also persuaded: "Ke Dun, according to our Han people's ideas, the next step for Wu Muzha is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and now Ke Dun must protect himself and his children first, and then talk about revenge." ”
Anuri thought of her children, she sat down slowly, hugged her three children and cried, what should she do?
"Sister, now we need to know how many people still support us, if we are strong enough, we can fight, if not, we have to leave here."
Anuri nodded, Asto was reasonable, and immediately went out of the account and ordered one of the guards, "Go and find General Aratu quickly!" ”
Utu had three commanders under his command, and controlled the 50,000 elite soldiers of Utu's headquarters, and Aratu was one of them, and he was also the most loyal one, and in a moment Aratu hurried over.
Alatu is the young archer who competed with Yang Yuanqing in the Luoyang Palace, and now he has matured and become a general who can command thousands of troops, he has been following Utu, and is Utu's most trusted general.
He stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "Aratu has an emergency to report to Kedun!" ”
"What happened?"
"Yan Mo Si and Harun have a strange move, I found out that they are mobilizing troops, I am afraid they have a plan."
Yanmosi and Harun were the other two captains, who controlled more than half of the population of Utu headquarters and cattle and sheep, and Anuri's face turned pale, she knew that the two were closely related to Umuza, and that Yanmosi's son was also married to Umuza's daughter.
"And how many people from the other tribes support us?" Anuri asked in a trembling voice.
"The main thing is that the Jiangglen troops are supporting us, but their accommodation is far away, and it will take at least five days to transfer troops. But Don Ruo never left. Soon there will be a military disaster. ”
"Let's go!" Asto immediately decided, "Sister, let's go to the south." Move closer to the Great Sui border and seek the protection of the Sui Dynasty. ”
Anuri was already six gods and no one, and she hurriedly asked Aratu. "General, what do you say?"
Alatu nodded, "I agree with the second princess's opinion and evacuate south to seek refuge from the Sui Dynasty." ”
Aratu is a native of the Qiangas, but he knows that the Hungers and Sijie are unreliable, and the grasslands have always been the weak and the strong, and only the Sui Dynasty can protect the khan's wife and children......
That same evening. The Anuri sisters led tens of thousands of tribesmen loyal to Utu to leave the tent on the shore of Lake Kusugul and slowly retreated southward, and Amtu led an elite army of 10,000 to protect the tribesmen's retreat.
Kedun's abrupt retreat to the south caught Umuza by surprise. Brother Utu was indeed the victim of him. In fact, he had already taken control of most of the tribes of the Utu tribe by various means, and finally used heavy tactics against Harun, the commander of the Ten Thousand Forces. He decided to do it.
The so-called negotiation of a new khan is nothing more than a means of delaying his time, he is already mobilizing his army to move closer to the tent, and once his army arrives, with the assistance of Yan Mosi and Harun, he will completely control the Utu tribe.
As for the other tribes that opposed him, if they didn't know each other, he would kill all these chiefs, seeing that the situation had gradually turned in his favor, but he didn't expect that at this critical moment, Kedun suddenly withdrew, taking tens of thousands of tribesmen with him.
Umuza was very annoyed in his heart, his 50,000 troops were still a hundred miles away, and they would not arrive until at least tomorrow at noon, and the only troops that could be used now were the more than 30,000 troops under Yan Mosi and Harun.
Umuza paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, and Kedun had taken nearly 40,000 people with him, as well as millions of cattle and sheep, all of which were extremely valuable resources, and if they were obtained by the Khan of Churo, it would be extremely disadvantageous to himself.
At this time, the curtain was lifted, and the captain Yan Mo Si strode in, Yan Mo Si was one of the three captains under Utu, and he was also the in-law of Umuza, and was the first to be co-opted by Umuza.
"Ebony Zha Yehu, what are you looking for me?" Yan Mo grew tall and majestic, and his voice was like a bell, and his voice shook the inside of the big tent.
Umuzha Huoran turned around and said, "Kedun actually led the people away, I want to chase them back, I need your help." ”
"But isn't it just what you want them to leave?"
Yan Mosi's small eyes flashed with a sly light, "Chase them back, do you still want to make Luo Ji a khan?" ”
"No!" Umuza shook his head, "I can't sleep while Utu's two sons are still alive, as the old proverb says, it's not enough to kill an eagle, but also to destroy its nest and eaglets." ”
Yan Mo sneered: "But the ancient proverb also says that it is impossible for a person to eat three sheep at the same time, as soon as Utu dies, you will kill his wife and children, even if I am willing to help you, my subordinates may not agree, I am afraid that when the time comes, the subordinates will rebel after knowing the truth, and kill you and me instead, and Harun, he also means this, and if he is not greedy, he will kill himself." ”
Yan Mosi's objection made Umuzha sit down in a slump, and said for a while: "Okay! It's a cheap place. ”……
Utu's bizarre death finally divided the northern Turks, Kedun Anuli led tens of thousands of tribesmen to move south, and Umuza ascended to the throne of the northern khan, but he did not inherit the strength of the Utu tribe, Utu's bizarre death and his forcible ascension to the throne, was strongly opposed by some tribes.
The third largest tribe of the northern Turks, the Jiangran tribe, also led tens of thousands of tribes to the southeast and surrendered to the southern Chuluo Khan, and at the same time, the external alliance of Utu began to break down, and the Huanggas and Sijie people did not recognize the position of Umuzha Khan, and announced that they would no longer support the Utu tribe.
The once-powerful Utu began to fall apart, and in the south, Luo Khan, the once extremely deferential and humble steppe wolf, smelled the bloody smell of his opponent's serious injuries and began to slowly show his hideous wolf teeth......
Dingxiang County's northernmost small city of Mokou, which has crossed the border of Sui and Turkish, belongs to the territory of the Turks, this morning, more than 30,000 Sui cavalry appeared on the grassland south of Mokou like an overwhelming dark cloud.
At the front of the team, the flag was like a cloud, and under a red flag, Yang Yuanqing stood on his horse. He looked at the north with a grim expression.
He had already received that Amutu had sent someone to ask for help in advance. There was a scene in the northern steppe that he least wanted to see, the Utu tribe collapsed, and the grassland forces began to be unbalanced. This will inevitably lead to the re-emergence of the Southern Turks.
There would be another powerful steppe neighbor to his north, and while he knew it was something that would happen sooner or later, he didn't want it to happen now.
So for him. Stabilizing the situation in the grassland is more important than anything else, and the key to stabilizing the situation in the grassland is to keep the rest of Utu and raise Utu's son.
What Yang Yuanqing is most worried about now is that the Southern Turks will eat the rest of Utu, then he will never have a chance, which is also the reason why he sent troops to the Turks, on the one hand, to put pressure on the Turks, and on the other hand, to take the rest of Utu to Dingxiang County.
He had already thought about placing this southward migration of the Utu tribe on the shore of Fuqibo Lake in the north of Mayi County. There is abundant pasture and vast grassland, which is enough for them to live and multiply. It can also be a barrier to the north of the Sui Dynasty.
Then. In the distance, a group of scout cavalry rushed back quickly, and rushed to Yang Yuanqing for the first lieutenant to report to him. "Chief Qiqi, we have discovered the team of the Utu Division."
Yang Yuanqing was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Where are they now?" ”
"Back to the manager, it's a hundred miles away!"
Yang Yuanqing asked again: "Is there any movement in the Southern Turks?" ”
"Yes! Some of his subordinates found a Turkic cavalry of tens of thousands following the Utu tribe from afar, but they did not attack. ”
Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment, it was obvious that the Luo Department did have the intention to eat the rest of Utu, and now there were still a hundred miles, and there must be no problems at the last moment.
Thinking of this, Yang Yuanqing immediately ordered: "The whole army marches north to meet the Utu Division!" ”
The 30,000 cavalry of the Sui army was launched, and they galloped towards the north......
On the steppe, tens of thousands of Turkic herdsmen drove herds of cattle and sheep, drove carts, loaded with tents and goods, and slowly marched southward, the procession stretched for more than ten miles, on both sides of the procession, groups of heavily armed cavalrymen with spears and knives in their hands, vigilantly watching the surrounding situation, protecting their families.
This is the tens of thousands of tribesmen led by the Anuri sisters, after a long journey of more than ten days, gradually, their team is about to arrive at the Sui and Tu borders.
But instead of the joy of arriving at their destination, on the contrary, they were very nervous, and about four days ago, their cavalry scouts had spotted tens of thousands of cavalrymen from the Chuluo Division, and they were dozens of miles away, staring at them like wolves, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The closer they get to the border of the Sui Dynasty, the stronger their worries become, they are all grasslands, they all know wolf nature, wolves will always attack at the last moment,
At this time, Aratu rode up at a gallop, and he said a little nervously: "Kedun, I just got a bad piece of information. ”
"What happened?" Anuri's voice trembled.
"We found that the divisions that followed us began to separate, and they divided their forces into two ways, one following us and the other beginning to go parallel to us."
"Are they going to surround us?" Asto reacted first, flanking back and forth, this is how the wolves finally attack their prey.
Aratu nodded silently, I'm afraid that's the case, a fierce battle will be inevitable.
"Look, cavalry!"
Suddenly, someone pointed straight ahead and shouted, and everyone looked south together, only to see a black line appear more than ten miles away, this is an army has arrived.
"General Aratu, is this the Division?" Anuri was on the verge of despair.
"Nope! They couldn't be so fast. ”
Aratu's eyes began to light up, "This may be the arrival of the Sui army that came to meet us." ”
As the army in front got closer and closer, everyone saw it clearly, and sure enough, tens of thousands of Sui troops arrived, and cheers suddenly broke out in the ranks.
Asto's eyes were full of nervousness and expectation, and she also saw that at the front of the team, the general of the Sui army in golden helmet and iron armor was her husband who had been separated for two years.
At this time, Yang Yuanqing turned over and dismounted, stretched out his arms to her from a distance, and his spring-like smile seemed to melt the ice and snow.
Asduo was ecstatic in her heart, she turned over and dismounted, rushed to her lover like a swan, she threw herself into Yang Yuanqing's arms, and the two hugged each other tightly.
Once again, a deafening cheer rang out in the steppe......
More than a dozen miles away, the cavalry of the Chuluo Division, which was tracking, stopped moving forward, and they had received information that tens of thousands of Sui cavalry had appeared in front.
Chu Luo Khan's expression was serious, in fact, he was also in a hesitation to annex the rest of the Utu, he was worried that this would anger the Sui army, so he did not dare to launch, until he entered the Sui Tu border, if the Sui army did not appear, it would show that the Sui army did not attach importance to this southward migration of the Utu tribe, then he would not hesitate to annex this tribe.
But now that the Sui army has appeared, and it is Yang Yuanqing who personally led tens of thousands of cavalry to meet him, Chuluo Khan had to withdraw his claws.
It seems that the remnants of Utu can't eat, but he is not reconciled, and he wants to turn around and swallow up another fat sheep, the already weak Ebony Zabe.
He waved his hand, "Go!" ”
Tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry followed him, turned their horses, and galloped towards the far north, and in a moment, the steppe became peaceful again.
