What he can't understand is how Du Lan joined forces with Da Tou, in terms of generation, Da Tou is the son of Tumen Khan's younger brother, and Du Lan is the great-grandson of Tumen Khan, Du Lan wants to call Da Tou from his grandfather, but since Apo and Da Tou split the Western Turks, the war between the East and West has been more than ten years, and it has long been a blood feud, how can they unite now, and after they unite, they are not going to attack the Sui Dynasty, but to wave the knife against their own clan first?

This qiē is not clear, it is all a question.

Since the defeat of the Sha Bo army and the submission of the Sui Dynasty, the Khan court was moved to Baidaochuan, where the water and grass are abundant, the climate is mild, and it is suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry. However, the northern Turks led by the Turks were in the north of the Sand Sea, in the Mobei region, where it was even colder and the conditions were more difficult. Therefore, although the territory is vast, the strength is not strong, and there are also Tiele tribes here, and these Tiele people are the real landlords in the north. But now, Du Lan led his troops from the north to the south, and Datou led his troops from the west to the east, like a flood of fierce beasts, swooping down.

All kinds of news and all kinds of rumors are like flying locusts and flies.

Some people say that this war is because Tuli Khan married Princess Anyi of the Sui Dynasty who was supposed to marry Dulan Khan, and Dulan vowed to snatch Princess Anyi, as long as Dulan got the princess, he would naturally retreat.

Some say that this is because the Dulan Khan led his troops to loot the border of the Sui Dynasty last year, but the Tuli Khan secretly reported to the Sui Dynasty, so that the Dulan Khan not only did not grab the spoils, but also touched the wall several times and ate a few ambushes, and now he is here to take revenge.

Others say. In fact, it was Datou Khan who led his troops to attack the east in order to avenge the east's westward expedition. And Dulan Khan sent troops to rescue the Tuli Khan, and he was a friend. And not the enemy.

Some people even say that listening to the shaman, this is the will of the immortal heaven, a new divine punisher has risen on the steppe, he will eventually destroy the Turks, conquer the Turks, for the future of the Turks, the Eastern and Western Turks must give up the old grievances, reunite. Fight the Punisher together. And the Divine Punisher is in those newly established Han castles on the southern edge of the eastern steppe

After all, the Tuli Khan had followed his father to the east and west, and with many years of military experience, he judged that this time would not be just some local conflict, let alone to rob cattle, sheep and horses, it was very likely that Datou and Dulan had united, and they were going to put themselves to death. Dulan had already betrayed the Sui Dynasty, and Datou Khan had been suppressed by the Sui Dynasty for many years, and the two men united. didn't deal with the Sui Dynasty first, but came towards himself first, obviously knowing that he was standing with the Sui Dynasty, and this was to clean up the rear first.

The Turkic Khan Ashina Rangan was a Turkic nobleman who had studied Han culture. When he was young, his uncle Sha Boluo sent his son to study in the Sui Dynasty after he surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. Although he had never been to Chang'an together, he had also brought back many Han Chinese from that cousin. In the Han books, I learned about another world and saw many different ideas. After seeing the civilization and development of the Han people from the book. He became more and more concerned about the existing institutional traditions of the Turks. The Turkic tribes often quarreled with each other, often fighting each other for water and land and pastures, and you came and went, coupled with plagues, snowstorms, droughts, etc., often made the pastures wither, and the population was sharply reduced. In particular, the Khan succession system of the Turks, as well as the tribal feudal system, are full of hidden dangers. The Turks were powerful, but their strength was consumed in infighting. He hoped to learn from the Han people, just like the Xianbei people who grew up from the grassland desert in history, and finally ruled the north, ruling the entire northern part of the Central Plains, and even ruling the Han people who were rich in civilization.

He believes that in order to do this, it is necessary to learn from the Han people. Unfortunately, his people clearly thought differently from him, and they only knew how to ride horses, slash and plunder.

When this sudden war came, he immediately gathered the nobles in the Khan's court, his garrison was now only more than a thousand cavalry, in the face of the enemy's sudden attack, the most important thing at the moment was to quickly gather troops, and gather the tribes and herdsmen under his command to assemble in arms. Therefore, the first order he gave was to let his eldest son, Ashina. Du Ji hurriedly took his arrows to mobilize the cavalry of the tribes in the east, and let the second son Ashina. He took his arrows and arrows to gather the cavalry of the western tribes, and then asked his third son, Ashina. He must go and mobilize the soldiers and horses in the north, so that the fourth son, Ashina. Bulisheh went to gather the soldiers and horses from the south, and the fifth son, Ashina. He stayed with him in the tent to prepare for the battle.

The five sons of Dyegan are all quite strong and brave young men, and each of them has already proved himself on the battlefield with the enemy's head, especially the boss Duji, who has won the trust and satisfaction of Dyinggan.

Anashi Luji had his own ideas about his father's arrangement, he stepped forward and gave a knee-jerk, then stood up and said to Dye Gan: "Khan, I thought that the current situation, Datou and Dulan are menacing, even if we gather all the troops and horses now, I am afraid that we will not have time to assemble, and they will be defeated one by one." I think it's imperative that we not just think about fighting alone, but should first tell the news to the Sui Dynasty in the south, so that they can send troops to rescue us. ”

"It's hard to quench your thirst from afar!" Ashina sighed, he counted left and right, but he didn't count that the Dulan Society had united the feud in the east for more than ten years, and the head of the west came to commit it together. If there is only Du Lan, although Dye Gan's strength is not as good as him, as long as the Sui Dynasty takes the opportunity to send troops, he is not afraid of Du Lan at all.

Ashina Jiji is the eldest son of Dye Gan, at this time twenty-six or seventeen years old, the figure is only average, but the body muscles are up, unusually strong, a pair of deep-set eyes reveal wisdom and shrewdness, the fine curly beard on the temples adds a bit of maturity and sophistication to him, his face and body are like a knife and axe, the contours are distinct, under the tanned bronze skin, there is a kind of strength and will, standing there vigorous and upright, fierce and brave.

Yudujin Mountain is in the north of the desert, separated from the desert south Khan Court of Dulan by a large sea of sand, and the western Turks of Datou, but also separated by a continuous Jinshan mountain range. It is precisely because of this that there is actually a long distance between Tuli and the backstage of the Great Sui, especially the Monan forces that are still separated from Dulan. Now that Du Lan and Da Tou have been killed, Tuli is about to be wrapped in dumplings immediately.

"The Sui army in the south can't relieve our siege, but we don't have to sit and wait here, we don't have to fight here with Datou and Dulan. We can avoid its edge for the time being, Datou will come from the west, and Dulan will come from the south, but we can retreat to the east. On the one hand, we can retreat to the east, and on the other hand, we can gather the troops in the east and then go all the way east. "Uhgi proposed his own construction to his father.

"To the east?" Tuli crossed his arms and looked pensive. "To the east is the territory of the Tiele tribes, and these people are afraid that they are not of the same mind as us."

There are many Tiele tribes, both in the East and West Turkic, and even in fact, the Tiele tribes combined, its population is far better than the Turkic Ashina tribe, but Tiele has always been scattered, so although there are many tribes, but there is no leader, when the Xiongnu is strong, Tiele is the leader of the Xiongnu, Xianbei is strong and Xianbei is the leader, and when Rouran is strong, it is the leader of Rouran, and the Turks defeated Tiele at the beginning, and by merging the forces of Tiele, they were able to defeat Rouran and become the overlord of the grassland. Although there were several small khanates in the history of Tiele, none of them lasted long. As the Khan of Tuli, Dye Gan has been managing these Tiele tribes, but although these Tiele tribes are under his command, in fact, the major Tiele tribes are in charge of themselves, and he can not control them too much except for collecting some taxes.

Now Dulan, the great khan, is coming to crusade against him, but I am afraid that no Tatiele people are willing to follow him to fight against the alliance of Dulan and Datou.

"We don't go to the territory of the Tiele people, we keep going east!" Duji Road.

"All the way east? That is the territory of the Khitan, Xi, and Xia tribes. ”

"That's right, my father should also know that now that these three clans have been attached to the Sui Dynasty, as long as we get to the three clans, it will be equivalent to finding a helping hand."

"But Sanfan is only a small tribe, they can't even beat Tiele, let alone the joint soldiers of Datou and Dulan." Dye dry hesitated.

"Father, Sanfan is indeed not strong, but my father is afraid that he still doesn't know that these Sanfan are now not only attached to the Sui Dynasty, but also have been officially classified as states and counties by the Sui Dynasty and listed as territory."

"What, when is this news, I don't know at all." Dye dry surprised.

"Father, this is what I just heard from the caravan. According to the information I received, the Great Sui Emperor set up a new Great Governor's Mansion in the southern part of the Xi Nationality, and Sanfan is now under its jurisdiction, and the head of this newly established Great Governor's Mansion is the eldest grandson of the Great Sui Emperor who went out of the town himself. ”

"Really?"

"There will never be a fake. Father, let's retreat directly to the east, as long as we enter the territory of the three clans, it will be equivalent to entering the Sui realm, even if Datou and Dulan dare to chase after them, we don't have to be afraid of them anymore. ”

Dye Gan saw that his son's words were reasonable, and he was very satisfied at the moment, he understood the ability of this son, and his son began to fight with him at the age of sixteen, and in the past ten years, he has experienced more than ten battles, killed more than 100 enemies, and is also one of the best warriors among the warriors on the Mobei grassland. This son is not only brave and unusual in battle, but also very alert and good at using his brain. At that moment, he secretly appreciated in his heart, and said, "If I let you lead the troops to take the lead in the east, how many men and horses do you need?" ”

"Only a hundred guards are needed, my father doesn't need to send more people, I will gather soldiers and horses along the way to open the way for my father."

"Very well, you open the way first, and then I will lead my troops to follow. Remember, if you don't have to, don't start a conflict with the Tiele tribe, as long as they are willing to let us go without hindrance, and we don't need them to send troops with us. ”

"Understood." After saying that, Du Ji immediately turned around and went out of the tent, and in less than half an hour, he had already gathered a hundred of his subordinates to leave the wolf guards, put on their bins, and roared away together. (To be continued......)
