After the centurion passed the order of the Turkic Khan, he galloped eastward, and they had to go to other parts to continue the order. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Danting watched the Turkic cavalry go away with gloomy eyes, and never said a word, at this time, his youngest son Ah Cai behind him said hatefully: "If you tell us to send troops, we will send troops, when we are hunting dogs?" ”

"Shut up!" Danting turned his head and glared at his son fiercely.

Danting was also very annoyed in his heart, he told the Turkic Khan last autumn that their tribe suffered a catastrophe last year and needed to recuperate for two years and could not go to war.

At this time, his fourth son, Mu Da, said in a low voice: "Why don't you increase the tax sheep a little this year and see if you can be exempted from this expedition?" ”

Danting shook his head, "The Golden Wolf Head Order has already been issued, it's too late, okay!" I will personally lead 30,000 troops to go, and you will take care of the tribe and take care of the lambs in the spring. ”

Danting has five sons and seven daughters, the eldest son and the second son have died of illness, the third son is hostage in the Turkic tent, the fourth son Muda is twenty years old this year, very shrewd and capable, the youngest son A Cai is only eighteen years old this year, but tall and mighty, brave and good at fighting, at the age of sixteen to participate in the Sijie warrior competition, has won the championship for three consecutive years, is recognized as the first warrior of Sijie.

Muda nodded, "I will take care of the tribe, please take care of yourself, father!" ”

At this time, Ah Cai said on the side: "Father personally went out to fight, what if someone takes the opportunity to sneak attack us?" ”

After speaking, he turned around and returned to his big account, Dan Ting was stunned, the young son seemed to be believed, but he said to the point, the Turkic Khan tribe may not touch himself, but other tribes are difficult to say, he was silent for a while, Mu Da understood his father's feelings, and said with a wry smile: "Father should let Ah Cai lead the army!" The Ministry of Thought does need a father to be in charge. ”

Danting can only think about it, the young son is the first warrior of Sijie, if he does not lead the army, he will be laughed at by the people of Sijie, as long as he sends a veteran to assist him, it should not be a big problem, but although he does not lead the troops south, he still has to go to the royal court, this is a matter of attitude.

Thinking of this, Danting said to his son: "Send someone to deliver my order at once, and the warriors of all the tribes of Sijie will immediately come to my big tent and prepare to go to the royal court to enlist." ”

.........

The golden wolf head order of the Turkic Khan spread throughout the steppe within ten days, including the Turkic tribes, as well as Tiele's Sijie, Xue Yantuo, Dubo, Tongluo, Qigu, Huxue and other tribes that were controlled by the Turks and sent tens of thousands of troops.

For a time, all the tribes of the steppe responded to the call, and the armies from all walks of life went to the Turkic royal court to assemble, and the clouds of war quickly spread over the Mobei grassland.

In the Turkic king's tent, the old high priest Mo Aaron threw a handful of powder into the air, and carefully waved the sheep bone staff in his hand, as if to clear the fog and see the traces left by the powder in the air.

After a long time, he turned around and sat down, closed his eyes and said nothing, and the Chuluo Khan on the side asked, "High Priest, how is it?" ”

Mo Aaron swallowed slowly: "I see the Mandate of Heaven, this is a war arranged by the Immortal Heaven, and it needs to be carried out by the Khan himself. ”

Chu Luo Khan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Is this exactly the same as seeing the will of the Immortal Heaven last year?" ”

"It's not quite the same."

Mo Aaron opened his eyes, and there was a cold light in his cloudy eyes, "Immortal's will is even stronger than last year, I see Immortal's dissatisfaction, Khan, you should have sent troops last year." ”

Chu Luo Khan sneered, "I don't think Immortal Heaven is dissatisfied, but the high priest is a little dissatisfied!" ”

"You are the Khan, the lord of the steppe, I dare to have any dissatisfaction in front of you, anyway, my people are no different from hundreds of sheep in the eyes of the Khan."

Mo Aaron's tone was full of resentment, since Xiao Mo betrayed Jinshan Palace and went south, Mo Aaron no longer trusted anyone, and began to personally manage his forces, he pursued the principle of being more than 2,000 people, and reduced the original army of more than 2,000 people to 600 people.

These 600 people are all brave and strong, and their horses are also one in a hundred, they are the terrifying black wolves on the grassland, and they have successively washed many tribes that disrespect the high priest, which has greatly improved Mo Aaron's right to speak on the grassland, and even Luo Khan is afraid of him for three points

Perhaps too confident, Mo Yalun actually agreed to the request of the Luo Khan, he disguised all the elite more than 500 people of the Jinshan Palace as a caravan and lurked into the hinterland of the Central Plains in batches, and the Luo Khan will launch a large-scale attack in the autumn, and the two sides should cooperate with each other and deal heavy damage to the Northern Sui.

Unexpectedly, because Liu Wuzhou was annihilated, Chu Luo Khan postponed his plan to attack south, and abandoned hundreds of elites under Mo Aaron in the Central Plains, putting them in a very dangerous situation.

The heavy snow blocked the grassland for a winter, and he lost contact with his subordinates, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead, which made Mo Aaron feel extremely angry, and he even suspected that Luo Khan was borrowing a knife to kill people, and using the power of the Sui army to eradicate the Jinshan Palace.

Mo Aaron said coldly: "My requirements are very low, I only hope that the Khan will make compensation for last year's dishonesty." ”

"What compensation does the High Priest want?"

"The harvest of the spoils of this southward journey, I ask for a three-percent split."

"There are too many tribes on this expedition, everyone has to share the spoils, and the spoils are far from enough, I can only give the high priest one percent at most."

"It's hard for me to accept it."

"Ichsei, high priest."

Mo Aaron's greed also made Chu Luo a little unhappy in his heart, and his tone was invisibly aggravated, "Your subordinates are hidden in the hinterland of the richest Northern Sui, and their harvest will not be less than mine, if you take out their harvest and share it together, then I will promise you thirty percent." ”

Mo Aaron said with a blue face for a while: "Then it is a word, and one percent of the loot harvest must be given to me." ”

After speaking, he walked slowly with the sheep bone staff, and Chu Luo Khan looked at his staggering back and walked away, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and when this southern expedition was over, it was time for the Turks to change to a high priest.

.........

Time passed, in late February, the breath of spring has enveloped the steppe, the steppe has shown a tender green color, and the army from all over the steppe has arrived at the Turkic royal court, in the originally endless steppe, covered with tents from various tribes.

Accompanied by a large group of generals, the Khan of Chuluo will lead an army of 300,000 to the south, including 150,000 Turkic troops and 150,000 Tiele troops, the scale of which is no less than a few years ago when his brother Shibi Khan marched into Yanmen Pass, only the logistics needs of cattle and sheep amounted to 5 million heads, in order to sit in the grassland, Chuluo Khan did not hesitate to use the power of the country.

The Turkic general next to him and the Luo Khan was his brother Bu Lisheh, among the three brothers of the Chu Luo Khan, only the second brother Bu Lishi could be trusted by him, and this time Bu Lishi also led 30,000 people in his headquarters to support his brother's southern expedition.

However, not all Turkic nobles supported Chuluo Khan's southern expedition, only half of the Ashina royal family supported his southern expedition, and many opponents were close relatives of Chuluo Khan, such as his two uncles, or his eldest son of Shibi Khan, and his two brothers, Dubi and Desire.

Of course, this is not that they have any friendship with the Tang Dynasty or the Northern Sui, the key is still the struggle for power, the position of the Turkic Khan does not have to be passed on to the eldest son, mainly to the capable, so everyone has the opportunity to ascend to the position of Khan, and everyone feels that they are more talented than others.

In addition, the Khan of Chuluo himself has a weak physique, and the Khan of Qimin once said that he could not be a Khan, but he was selected by Princess Yicheng to be a Khan, which made the other Ashina royal families how could they be convinced.

It is precisely because half of the Ashina royal family did not support the Khan's southern expedition that the number of troops sent this time was less than expected by more than 100,000 troops.

At this moment, a group of cavalry galloped through the very narrow tents like a torrent, and they shouted and screamed with joy, provoking a shout of discontent all around.

Luo Khan, who was on patrol, frowned, pointed to the cavalry with his horsewhip, and asked his brother Bu Lishe, "Whose army is that?" ”

Bu Lisheh looked at it for a moment and said, "That should be Sijie's army, and I recognize the young man at the head as Danting's son Acai." ”

"How many troops are coming?"

"Thirty thousand!"

"Humph! Too few, they can come at least 50,000 people. Chuluo Khan snorted dissatisfiedly.

"Brother, Sijie is actually quite good, and the three departments of Hui, Servant Gu, and Baye Gu add up to only 15,000 people."

Chu Luo Khan's face suddenly gloomy, he had long known that these three tribes were secretly colluding with the Northern Sui, and the Northern Sui actually sold pig iron to them, as if one of Zhang Xuan's wives was still the daughter of Tule, if he wasn't afraid of the civil strife in the grassland, he would have sent troops to destroy the ancient tribe of Baye.

Chuluo Khan secretly made up his mind that when he returned from this southern expedition, after he sat firmly on the throne of Khan, he would be the first to clean up Bayegu.

Thinking of this, he turned back and asked, "Is the High Priest ready?" ”

According to the custom, they will sacrifice the immortal heaven in the Egen River, and the army can march south, and the logistics cattle and sheep have been prepared, just waiting for the sacrifice on the side of the high priest Mo Aaron.

"Back to the Khan, the news came from the high priest in the morning, and it will be completed in three days at the latest."

"Humph! Does he want to hold me back? ”

Chu Luo Khan was very dissatisfied in his heart, and he said to his brother Bu Li: "The fighter plane cannot be delayed, you have a long way, you can lead the army first, move quickly, and kill the Northern Sui by surprise." ”

This time, the Turkic army marched on two routes, Bu Lishe led an army of 50,000 to attack the eastern road, from Anle County to Hebei, and on the western front, Chu Luo personally commanded the army south to Mayi County.

Bu Lishi nodded, "I'll go now!" (To be continued.) )
