Chapter 400: The Flag is Like a Sea

After a night of violent storms, the Turkic army was advancing on the banks of the Yougan River in Mayi, which had already been brightened. More than 200,000 troops marched in unison, like a black tide surging in unison. An army of ants trampled the crops near the riverbank, and headed south like the wind.

As far as the eye can see, a banner is like the sea, the sword light is better than the snow, and the spear is like a forest. With the momentum of re-entering the Central Plains, this army was high-spirited.

On a small hillside on the bank of the river, Shibi Khan looked at this army with pride in his heart. This is his own army, 300,000 Turkic iron cavalry, re-emerging from the grassland, about to capture Yang Guang alive and defeat the Central Plains army. He wants to be the first grassland man to reign in the Central Plains again since the Wei Dynasty.

Jieli seemed to have insight into the thoughts in Shibi Khan's heart, and said with a smile, "This time I enter the Central Plains, the Great Khan will definitely be the emperor of the Central Plains, and let my steppe tribe once again dominate the fate of the Central Plains." The Great Khan is really the hero of my steppe. The first hero behind the earth gate. ”

Although it is a sycophant, there is also a faint peeping in Jieli's words. He is like a lone wolf in the dark night on the grassland, always keeping an eye on the target, waiting for an opportunity, and planning to pounce.

Shi Bi understands Jieli's mentality, both of them are the sons of Qimin Khan, and their ages are not much different. Even when he continued to be the Great Khan, the tribal strength in the hands of the two was about the same. But in the end, the person who inherited the throne of the Great Khan was the one who started it, all because he was the eldest son of the Great Khan, and he was a few years older than Jieli. At first, Shibi was very vigilant about Jieli, but after six or seven years, Shibi finally changed from a strong wolf to a wolf king. When he looked at Jieli again, his gaze was looking down, and he no longer had to be wary of his younger brother from time to time, he knew that the gap between them had made it impossible for Jieli to catch up.

However, in the past few years, Jieli's attitude towards him has also changed greatly. When he learned that there was no hope of competing for the throne, he changed his previous aggressiveness and became a wolf hiding in the dark. Shibi understood his thoughts, but he had no intention of changing them. The Turks have always worshipped the powerful and encouraged competition with each other. It was this bloody competition that allowed the Turks to dominate the steppe and become the masters of the steppe.

Stretching out his horsewhip and pointing at the moving army in front of him, Shibi Khan smiled, "Jieli, we are both steppe Turks, and you and I are both from the Ashina tribe, and you are my brother from the same father and mother. We are standing together, and if we succeed this time, we will naturally not lose your share in the future. I just want you to understand that there are things you can do and things you can't do, and it's up to me to do them. At least, you can't do it while I'm alive. ”

The Turkic tradition of the weak and the strong eat the strong makes the Turkic khanate rarely inherited directly from father to son, and most of them are passed from brother to brother, and the younger brother later passes on to his son. Only those who are noble in blood can lead powerful tribes, and only those who are strong can ascend to the position of Great Khan. Although Shibi also has a smart son like Tuli, Tuli is too young and the strength of his tribe is too weak. If Shibi really forcibly wanted Tuli to inherit his throne, it would hurt him. So he didn't care much about Jieli's ambitions, which was the tradition of the Turkic people.

"I, the steppe people, are fortunate to have the command of the Great Khan, so I can once again ride into the pass. Although I am not talented, I have long sworn to follow the Great Khan. ”

Seeing Jieli's attitude, Shibi Khan nodded, "Where is the vanguard you sent out, and is there any news of the report?" ”

"Buli's 15,000 vanguard army should have taken Shenwu County, but it rained heavily all night last night, so the cavalry who reported the news has not returned. These bunnies may have been so crazy last night that they forgot about it today. But it doesn't matter, Shenwu City is just a small county town, and we have already built seven such cities before, so there will be no problem at all. Jieli explained to Shibi with a smile.

The surprisingly smooth operation before has already made Shi Bi a little careless. He nodded and said, "Okay, we rested in the White Wolf Village last night, and now that the rain has stopped, everyone is in good spirits, and we are on our way." The order must be rushed to Shenwu City at noon today, where food and wine have been prepared for us to enjoy. ”…,

Hearing the order of the Great Khan, the troops were also overjoyed, and they galloped faster by three points. This time, the Turks went south, and they had no grain and grass as soon as they entered Dingxiang, and they were completely fighting to feed the war all the way, relying on seizing grain and grass from the captured cities. 300,000 cavalry, people eat horses and chew, this is a huge number. For days, everyone grabbed what to eat, and only when they entered the city would they eat and drink. So after hearing the order of the Great Khan, all the people were full of motivation. It is only more than fifty miles from White Wolf Village to Shenwu City, and it can be reached in half a day.

Shi Bi stood on the hillside, thinking that as long as it took three more days, he would be able to capture Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui State, alive, and his heart couldn't help but get excited. Yang Guang is not the useless emperor of the Yongjia Rebellion and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, although Yang Guang is a little conceited and a little stubborn, but Yang Guang's original is still good. Thinking about the Yongjia Rebellion and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the grasslands, the Liaodong provinces and the countries of the Western Regions, there was no need to look at the face of the emperor of the Central Plains, and even went south to grab some beautiful treasures or something at every turn.

However, the two generations of emperors of the Sui Dynasty, in just a few decades, have already beaten the surrounding countries all over again, and destroyed several countries and clans. Even the powerful proto-Turks have been honestly aggrieved and endured for more than ten years. But the more this happened, the more excited he became. If there is really an incompetent emperor, then he has nothing to be proud of when he captures him alive.

In the distance, in the midst of the rolling iron stream, a group of cavalry rushed from the south, and the golden wolf knight wearing the armor with the golden wolf's head printed on the armor beside Shi Bi rode his horse to stop it. "The little one has an urgent military situation and wants to see the Great Khan," the knight led by him was covered in mud and said anxiously.

Shi Bi looked at the outfit of this group of cavalry, and guessed that it might also be the vanguard of Buli, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Let them come over." ”
