Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

In the second year of the opening of the Sui Dynasty, the Turkic Shabalu Khan sent 400,000 troops to the south, and Sui Wendianjian sent troops to counterattack and defeated the Turks in Baidao. The following year, the Turks suffered from serious internal strife, and with Jinshan as the boundary, they split into Eastern and Western Turks. In addition, the grassland drought was serious at that time, and a large number of livestock died, and the Eastern Turks led by Shabalu Khan returned to the Sui Dynasty, and were attached to the Baidao and stationed in the Hohhot area.

After the death of Shabalu Khan, his nephew Tuli Khan led the people to live in Baidaochuan, and successively married Princess Anyi and Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty as concubines, and Emperor Wen of Sui named him "Yili Zhendou Qimin Khan", and built Dali City in the south of Helinger, as the tooth tent of Qimin Khan. When Emperor Yang of Sui toured the north, he also went to Dali City to comfort the Khan of Qimin. During the period of Qimin Khan, the border was peaceful, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, animal husbandry developed rapidly, and cattle and sheep filled the valley, presenting a stable and prosperous scene.

From the beginning of the great cause to the Shenlong three years at this time, just more than ten years, the Yinshan under the Eilechuan has long been no longer the prosperity of the year, since the beginning of the Bi Khan conquest of 400,000 iron horsemen to the south of the Central Plains is gone, the entire Yinshan Mountain, the Turkic steppe east of the Jinshan has since fallen into the tribal war, never calmed down. The tribes fought against each other, and the tribes fought against each other, plundering, killing, taking revenge, and dying

The whole prairie is immersed in a terrible nightmare, and there are no cattle and sheep on the fertile grassland, only countless galloping war horses and iron hooves. The herdsmen no longer graze their cattle and sheep, the tribes fought and united, and all the men who were taller than the wheels became warriors, took up scimitars, bows and arrows, and swept the steppe like locusts. The weak women, all of whom became slaves after the defeat of the clan. The tents on the grassland that were like white clouds all turned into rising flowers of flame.

War and natural disasters. The invincible Eastern Turkic tribes that crisscrossed the steppe back then became a thing of the past in the blink of an eye. On the vast prairie, the Tiele people and the Xi people. The people of the Xia tribe, and even the people of the Chen Dynasty, became the masters who came and went. And the owner of the grassland, the Ashina tribe, has already been killed and wounded, and the last people of the Ashina family. It is said that he was imprisoned in the Chen Dynasty in the Central Plains, such as Shibi Khan, Jieli Khan, and Tuli Khan.

The decline of the Eastern Turks did not give the Tiele people a chance to replace them, and although they expanded their pastures, a year ago, the Western Turks west of Jinshan finally came back. At that time, the younger brother of the Tumen Khan of the Turkic Empire, Muridianmi led an army to the west, and successively conscripted and served in the Tiele tribes of the Western Regions, Gelulu, Ba Ximi and other tribes. Later, the Khan of Murdimi first united with Persia to eliminate the White Huns, and later allied with Byzantium to attack Persia. It expanded a vast and vast territory for the Turkic Empire to the west. After the death of Ke Mur Dianmi, the successor Datou Khan took advantage of the death of the Turkic Great Khan Tabo Khan to unite with the Sui Dynasty to rebel against the new Turkic Khan Sha Bo Luo Khan. Eventual division of the Turks. Establish the Western Turkic Khanate on its own.

Forty-five years have passed, the former lord of the steppe. The orthodox Eastern Turks of the Turkic Khanate had completely collapsed, but the Western Turks, who had rebelled and established themselves in the Western Regions, became stronger and stronger, and after a lapse of forty-five years, they finally returned. 200,000 Western Turkic horsemen crossed the Jinshan Mountains and entered the Eastern Turkic steppes in one fell swoop.

In less than a year, Tong Yehu successively defeated the Tiele Khanate, and the Xiabu, Xibu, Qigu and other tribes, and finally unified the steppe in one fell swoop, completely ending the goal of the Eastern and Western Turks fighting each other for more than 40 years, in order to unify each other. In addition to the three small khanates of Tiele Khanate, Xi and Xiabu, the entire Turkic Khanate, west to the West Sea countries, east to the Khitan countries, the steppe under its jurisdiction is tens of thousands of miles away. …,

According to the territory, at this time, the steppe under the control of Yehu Khan was several times larger than that of the Central Plains, and in terms of population, the Turkic Khanate, which owned the countries of the Western Regions and the tribes of the steppe, was not much worse than Dachen at this time.

At the foot of the Yin Mountain, on the grassland of the Eilechuan River, at this time there were tents like white clouds everywhere, and in a huge golden wolf tent among the tents, the Great Khan of the unified Turkic Khanate, the Yehu Khan, was sitting on a large chair covered with white wolf skin, and sharpened a roasted golden fat leg of lamb with a delicate dagger.

Tong Ye Hu took the knife and slowly sliced a thin piece of mutton from the leg of mutton, and the mutton slice fell, but Tong Ye Hu Khan didn't even have the interest to eat a bite. Under his case, there are a total of ten large tables on the left and right, and behind each table is a Turkic nobleman. And behind the ten nobles, there were also many Turkic Great Khans, all of whom were strong and strong. A Turkic cavalryman covered in blood knelt on the ground, panicked and did not dare to come out.

He was originally an attachment, which in Turkic also means guard, meaning wolf soldier. In the Turks, the Ashina clan is a royal family, and Ashina also means wolf. And the detachment is a guard specially for the royal family of the Khan or Ashina, that is, the wolf soldiers. These wolf soldiers were of the highest rank among the Turkic soldiers, and their status was higher than that of ordinary soldiers. In addition to serving as the guards of the various khans and royal families, these wolf soldiers will also be transferred to the army as middle and lower-level officers after their meritorious service.

This wolf soldier was a centurion in the Turkic vanguard army bound for Dingxiang, and a few days earlier, the Khan of Tongyehu had sent an advance of about 5,000 horsemen to invade Dingxiang in the Central Plains. He led his headquarters to follow the vanguard troops all the way across Yinshan, and finally entered the county town of Dali in Dingxiang, and did not meet a single soldier, not even a single common man of the Central Plains. They did not dare to go any further, and temporarily camped in the county town of Dali, ready to wait for the next order of the Tongyehu Khan. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night last night, in the dark and late night, suddenly countless shouts of killing sounded, and countless Da Chen cavalry entered the camp of the Turkic forward.

The 5,000 strikers who were attacked in their sleep did not last long before they were routed. The centurion was desperate to escape from the war horse and galloped all night to Yinshan to report.

There was a long silence in the tent, and the Khan slowly sliced the leg of mutton until the last bit of meat was also shaved off. Tongye Hu Khan suddenly plunged the dagger in his hand into the wooden board on the case, and roared fiercely: "What nonsense! There were only 20,000 soldiers and horses in Yanmen Pass, and less than 10,000 cavalry. Even if they gathered all the soldiers in Hedong in the past few days, it would only be 50,000. Moreover, Ben Khan received the news that the Chen Dynasty had taken the initiative to abandon the two counties of Dingxiang and Mayi, and moved all the soldiers, horses and people into Yanmen Pass. When they saw the eagles on our grassland, they were all frightened like turtles and shrunk into the shell of the turtle in Yanmen City. They saw that it was too late for our iron horsemen to hide, how could they suddenly and quietly pass through the horse and attack you in Dingxiang Dali City? And you have 5,000 men and horses, and you are in the city of Dali, how can you be defeated in one fell swoop? Up to now, Ben Khan has only seen less than 100 defeated soldiers fleeing back, do you want to tell Ben Khan that the 5,000 vanguards have been swallowed by the Chen army that fell from the sky? After losing the battle, I dared to disturb the morale of the army, and dragged me out to behead the public! Amid the centurion's pleading, several guards stepped forward and dragged him out.

Tong Yehu got up and paced in the tent, pacing as he said: "It seems that Chen Jun is not as shrunken turtles as Liu Wuzhou said, I originally thought that they heard that our hundreds of thousands of iron hooves were heading south, and they were really all frightened and retreated to the Yanmen Pass." Unexpectedly, Ben Khan's 5,000 iron horsemen were swallowed by them all at once. This is five thousand iron cavalry, and it didn't hold out even for a night, it seems that the number of cavalry of this Chen army is not small, and it should not be underestimated. ”…,

Then he said to himself: "At this time, Chen Jun still dares to take the initiative to attack, it seems that Chen Pojun may have been wary of us for a long time, and they must have transferred troops and horses from other places." Tong Yehu turned his head to Yili Little Khan and said, "How long will it take for our rear army to arrive?" ”

Yili Little Khan originally helped Tongye Hu to win the position of Western Turkic Khan, and Tongye Hu treated him very favorably, and now Yili Little Khan in the Turkic Khanate is even more under Tongye Hu and above 10,000 people. When he heard that Ye Hu asked, he hurriedly said: "The soldiers and horses surnamed Zhaowu nine surnamed led by Mohelu Khan have only arrived in Jinshan, and the five troops led by Ni Yu Khan are still in Gaochang. The five troops and horses led by Tong'e Khan have just arrived at Gandu Jin Mountain. In addition, the Great Khan, your eldest son, Ye Yetler, has already arrived at Kent Mountain, and he has sent a letter saying that the sand sea is difficult to walk, and it is estimated that it will take some time to arrive. ”

Tong Ye Hu snorted, "My son is the farthest away, but he is the fastest. Ben Khan knew that they would not come so happily, and now the nearest Yetale was still three days away, the farthest Ashina. But the Khan is still far away in the Western Regions, and it is difficult to reach it in a month. Didn't they get an order from Ben Khan? ”

The commander of the Ganelo tribe, the assassin of the Kayehu, spoke, "Great Khan, I don't think I need to wait for them. We have 200,000 iron horsemen, all of them are brave grassland knights, and now that Chen Pojun has not fully recovered his senses, let's do it directly, break through Yanmen, and fight all the way into Luoyang. ”

Tong Ye Hu shook his head: "No, wait until they are all together before attacking." The shilling Khan who was still in Gaochang did not have to rush to Yinshan, so he directly led the five troops and horses of Nu Shibi to attack the Central Plains from Hexi, and let them cross Hexi, from Hexi to Xiaoguan, the northwest gateway of Guanlong, and when they arrived, Liu Wuzhou, the Khan of Dingyang, would open the Guancheng for him and welcome them into Longshang. After entering Longshang, he led his troops and horses through the Loess Plateau all the way to the line of the Yellow River, approaching the west side of Hedong Lou Lishi and other counties. After Mo Jiadu, Tong'e, and the Yanye and other departments approached our department, Ben Khan personally led his troops and horses to break through the Yanmen Gate and kill Luoyang. After speaking, Tong Ye turned around and left the big tent, leaving the generals looking at each other.
