Su Lie met Yang Yuanqing who came to answer at Shiluo Man Pass, and Su Lie told him about the encounter, he lowered his head in shame, "I am willing to accept my guilt"

Yang Yuanqing stared at him for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "As a school captain, just relying on a momentary will, he acted rashly without distinguishing between truth and falsehood, and lost more than 30 brothers, you have to take this responsibility, I remove you from the post of school captain and demote you to the fire chief, can you be convinced?" ”

Su Lie was extremely sad for the death of thirty-three brothers, at this time Yang Yuanqing even if he beat him with a hundred military sticks, he was willing, thinking of more than thirty brothers who died tragically, he burst into tears, bowed down and said: "Humble and obedient, I only hate the general for being too light."

Yang Yuanqing patted him on the shoulder, "You always have to die in a war, you don't have to mind too much"

He looked at the wild duck feather feather feather arrow that Su Lie brought to him again, the feather feather was neatly cut, this familiar arrow feather made him think of a feather, could it be him?

Yang Yuanqing immediately opened the letter, a soldier stepped forward with a torch, by the light of the fire, Yang Yuanqing hurriedly looked at it, his brows were furrowed, and sure enough, he guessed it, he immediately turned his horse's head and ordered: "Go to the old city of Yiwu"

The palace of Yiwu City has not yet been lit, the palace is brightly lit, and Yang Yuanqing, who has just rushed back, immediately held an important military meeting, together with the king Mo Si and the eldest prince Aman were also invited to attend the meeting, and there was a special translator sitting next to him

"I just got the exact news that the Western Turks can't take care of Yiwu for the time being because of the fierce infighting between the Shotku Khan and the Chuluo Khan, but the Shotku Khan has already ordered the Chuyue Department to attack Yiwu City."

"Lunar Division"

Silently exclaimed, the Western Turks didn't come to make him just settle his heart, but the Moon Department hung his heart again

Yang Yuanqing glanced at him and said with a slight smile: "It seems that His Royal Highness the King is very afraid of the Moon Department?" ”

Mo Si smiled bitterly: "Although the Western Turks are ruthless in collecting taxes, Wusun Jin can at least survive, but the Luo Department will kill all the old men and men of Wusun Jin, and take children and women into slavery, they have long had this intention."

"What about Wusunin? Is it to wash Qianjing's neck and let them cut it, or go with the Sui army to cut off their white spoon neck"

Yang Yuanqing opened the sect with a clear meaning, which is equivalent to telling everyone that he decided to take the initiative and attack the moon first

Mo Si was uneasy in his heart, if the Western Turks came in to attack, maybe he wouldn't work hard, but if he came in to attack Yiwu, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do it if he didn't work hard

The eldest prince Aman's Chinese was good, and he asked in a deep voice in Chinese: "Does General Yang know how many troops there are in the Moon Division?" ”

"I don't know, that's why I invited you father and son, I believe you know"

"Yes, I know one thing, the whole tribe is about 100,000 enters, and there are 30,000 young and strong, so they are called 30,000 armorers"

"To deal with this kind of grassland tribe, our Sui army can be one to ten," a Sui army general stood up and said

Yang Yuanqing nodded approvingly to him, motioned for the general to sit down, and said to the crowd: "Regardless of whether the Chuyue Department has attacked our heart or not, but it did not surrender to the Great Sui, but defected to the Western Turks and attacked the Sui army patrol post, it is already our white spoon enemy, I decided to annihilate this tribe, it is now the early morning of August 13, and the full moon of August 15 should be the eve of the Moon Entering the army, and we will annihilate them before then."

He looked at the crowd one by one, and his eyes fell on Wang Wei, "Wang Taishou, you lead two thousand Yiwu troops to defend Yiwu City, and the remaining four thousand Yiwu troops will go out with the Sui army to attack Pu Shihai, and all of them will be annihilated at the end of the month, now everyone goes back to prepare, and the army will set off in an hour."

The generals got up and walked outside the palace, Prince Aman was about to leave, but was stopped by Yang Yuanqing, Aman is twenty-five years old this year, and has been living in Chang'an between the ages of eight and ten, so he can speak Chinese, and he is closer to the Sui Dynasty than his father, but this time the Sui Dynasty actually annexed the Yiwu Kingdom and made him feel gloomy

"Is there something the general is looking for me?" He asked in a deep voice

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "I'll tell you a piece of news, you have to go to the capital as a hostage, this is the will of His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor, and I can't help it."

Ah Man nodded silently, this was what he expected, the eldest son was hostage, he could only go, "I have no problem, is there anything else about General Yang?" ”

"I also want to ask about the dark horse thief, do you know?"

The "dark horse thief" Aman was stunned

"You know?" Yang Yuanqing looked at him

Aman smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid that the Western Regions don't know about them, the black horse thief, it's even more terrible than the Turks."

"Tell me what you know, about the dark horse thieves, everything about them, I want to know"

The Zhuyue tribe is composed of dozens of small tribes, they are distributed in the grassland between Puzihai and Luntai for more than 1,000 miles, believe in shamanism, and like the Turks, they use wolves as totems, and their white spoon battle flags will also be embroidered with wolf heads

This attack on Yiwu is a long-awaited attack on the Moon Division, the Moon Department is not big or small, they want to be as strong as other Tie Le Jin, they need a large number of entrances to supplement, they need women to enter, they have long taken a fancy to Wusun Jin, who has more than 200,000 entrances but weak troops, but the Western Turks do not allow them to attack Yiwu, Chu Yuejin is like a vicious dog that is tied to the neck with a belt by the Lord, staring at the fat meat not far away, but he can't eat it

Now that the Lord has untied the belt around their necks, they can't wait, although Yiwu has more than 5,000 Sui troops, but the hungry Chu Yuejin can no longer take care of it, they want to eat it together with the Sui army, the golden arrow order has been issued ten years ago, and tens of thousands of Moon warriors from all over the world have gathered on the grassland on the shore of the Pu Sea, and the tents are endless

Perhaps because of the worship of wolves, the moon also has a special complex for the night of the full moon, and like the Turks, the moon enters need to hold a military sacrifice on the night of the full moon, and the sorcerer expresses his respect to the gods and asks the gods to bless them with victory

A clear full moon hung on the black satin-like curtain, and there were no stars around, and the full moon stared at the earth alone, but when it gazed at the shore of the Pu Sea, the clear light seemed to be a little more weird

Under the moonlight, in an open meadow, a bonfire was burning, the huge tongue of fire rose three feet high, hundreds of chiefs and elders of all sizes sat around the bonfire, their bodies gently swayed to the beat of the drum, and beside the fire, three shamans and wizards with a dozen apprentices were performing a ritual, they were wearing ghostly costumes, dancing wildly

All the chiefs and elders were drunk, but Zhu Xiezi, the brother of the big chief, also seemed a little worried, he was the only chieftain-level object in the Moon Department who had fought with the Sui army, and the strong combat effectiveness of the Sui army made him still afraid, more than 3,000 of them entered the 100 Sui army patrol posts, and killed nearly 500 Zhuyue warriors before and after this 100 enters, and the Sui army only lost 33 enters

The important thing is that he learned from a wounded and captured Sui soldier that the main general of this Sui army, Jing Ran, was Yang Yuanqing, who killed the Datou Khan, and almost wiped out Xue Yantuo, Zhu Xiezi was also extremely scared, but no one listened to his advice, and only the black granddaughter entered these eyes, including their white spoon chieftain

Zhu Xiezi also peeked at his brother, that is, Zhu Xiegu, the chief of the moon, he was closing his eyes, following the drum and shaking his body, Zhu Xiezi also took advantage of the crowd's unpreparedness, quietly got up, and quickly went to his tribe, don't enter and want to be exterminated, he can't control it, but he wants to protect his tribe, Zhu Xiezi also made up his mind, he wants to take his tribe away immediately, and leave this place full of danger

About seven or eight miles away from the Pu Sea, there is a gentle hill, the hill is covered by a lush forest, stretching for more than 20 miles, and has been connected with the forest at the foot of the Shiluo Man, this forest is like a black screen, across the east side of the Pu Sea

At this time, in front of a forest in the north, there were dense cavalry, there were nearly 10,000 people, it was the Sui army that came from Yiwu City, but not only the Sui army, but also the army of four thousand Yiwu countries, led by Yang Yuanqing's eight iron guards, their white spoon equipment is far worse than the equipment of the Sui army, there is no armor, they are the same leather armor as the Chu Yue army, the weapons are mainly spears, with knives and bows and arrows, and the bow and arrow are also the same single bow as the Chu Yue Jin, the range is only thirty steps, but their white spoon morale is as high as the Sui army

Every time they entered, they understood that Chu Yuejin had been their sworn enemy for more than ten years, and they were not fighting for the Sui army now, but protecting their wives and daughters

Yang Yuanqing was at the front of the team, holding a broken lance in his hand, staring coldly at the clearly visible firelight several miles away, and he could faintly hear the sound of drums sent by the wind, it was already two o'clock, and they were still holding sacrifices, which made him a little impatient

At this time, the prince Aman, who went out with the army, whispered beside Yang Yuanqing: "General, this kind of expedition sacrifice will be held all night, and we Wusunjin will do the same, but it doesn't matter, only the chiefs and elders participate, the soldiers have already slept, they must maintain sufficient physical strength, and they can only go out early in the morning."

Yang Yuanqing nodded, he was still waiting for the news of the scout, at this time, a cavalryman galloped over, clasped his fists on the horse and saluted: "General Qiqi, the scout has sent news that all the sentry posts in the moon have been dropped."

"A Thousand Good"

Yang Yuanqing immediately turned around and ordered, "Kill Xiang Yue into the camp to record merit"

Thousands of horses galloped in the forest, under the cool full moon, the Sui army covering the ground was like a big river bursting its embankment, galloping, killing to the camp of the moon several miles away At this time, the elders and chiefs who participated in the sacrifice were alarmed by the sound of horses' hooves, and they stood up one after another, looking to the east in horror, and shouted, "The Sui army is coming, the Sui army is coming, and the Sui army is coming."

The elders and chieftains also saw that in the darkness, the army that could not be seen was sweeping towards them, and they were so frightened that they turned around and stumbled towards the camp, but it was too late, and the Sui army was already rushing in like a tsunami flood

Yang Yuanqing took the lead, shook the lance, and pierced the heart of a chief wearing a feather crown, wearing this kind of feather crown is generally a very high status chief, the tip of the lance leaked out from his chest, Yang Yuanqing lifted his body high, threw it back, and fell right in front of the prince Aman, Aman recognized at a glance, this is the great chief of the moon department, Zhu Xiegu, he was overjoyed, cut him off with a knife, raised his head and shouted: "The chief of the moon is dead, Zhu Xiegu is dead"

The head of the chief of the moon inspired the morale of the Sui army and the Yiwu army, and the Sui army was like a rainbow, rushing into the camp of the soldiers of the moon, more than 30,000 soldiers were sleeping, enjoying the black granddaughter as a trophy in the dream, but they never dreamed that the Sui army would kill directly

One tent after another was cut and collapsed, and the soldiers who woke up from their dreams were terrified, and they cried and scattered in all directions, but they could not escape the galloping hooves and snowy steel knives of the Sui and Yiwu armies, and the soldiers were killed to the head, and the corpses were all over the field, and the blood and water converged into a river, flowing into the sea of cattails, and dyeing the lake red

Until dawn, the war horses of the Sui army are still galloping, chasing the desperately fleeing Chuyue tribe in a forest in the north, there are also more than a thousand black-clothed inside, they are the famous black horse thieves in the Western Regions, the leader has torn off the black scarf covering his face, revealing a red beard, he looked at the murderous Sui army and the brave Yang Yuanqing from afar, and couldn't help but sigh lowly, and said to himself, "With him, there is no chance for me in the Central Plains"

He turned around and waved his hand, "Go out of here, go back to Dawan"

More than a thousand black horse thieves adjusted their horses' heads and galloped northward, bypassing the Pu Sea and running from another road to the far west

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the fourth year of the Great Cause, the 5,000 Sui army and the 4,000 Yiwu army successfully attacked the camp of the Chuyue into the expedition, beheaded more than 20,000 soldiers, killed all the chiefs and elders, and captured nearly 30,000 women and children. Sha Tuojin lost their ancestral home and gradually disappeared into the long river of history

After the third death, Yang Yuanqing led 2,000 Sui troops, escorting tens of thousands of women and children of the Yue tribe, slowly marching to the Central Plains, entering Beijing to offer prisoners to Yang Guang, according to the custom, these tens of thousands of women and children of the Yue tribe will be scattered and placed in the counties of the Central Plains, in order to enrich the entrance of the Central Plains

[In fact, Lao Gao doesn't want to write about the Western Regions, this Bi Jing is not the Tang Dynasty, this is the end of the Sui Dynasty, but the history of the Western Regions that happened in the fourth and fifth years of the Great Cause is too important, look at the Sui Dynasty to deal with Tuyuhun's extermination, and then look at the Tang Dynasty's weakness in dealing with Tubo and raising tigers, Ling Jin sighed, this period of history Lao Gao can't be avoided, can only write a little simply, I hope Teng friends can continue to subscribe, don't abandon Ben Teng, don't abandon Lao Gao]
