The battle was soon over, and the camp was full of wolves, women, children, and slaves were all concentrated on the snow outside the camp, and the nomadic cavalry under Liu Ziqiu circled around them excitedly, Liu Ziqiu turned his head and asked, "Jiaoliyan, how do you treat these captives after the tribal conflict?"

Jiao Liyan is now also a captain, this time he and Wen Hao are Liu Ziqiu's right-hand men, Jiao Liyan grinned and said: "Then how can the men who are taller than the wheels kill all the women and children as slaves"

Speaking of which, Jiao Liyan's horsewhip pointed at a young girl in the crowd and said, "My lord, what do you think of that?"

Liu Ziqiu frowned and said, "What?"

Jiaoli salivated and said, "If the lord doesn't want it, then give it to his subordinates."

That Turkic girl also has a bit of beauty, but it is far from being very beautiful, but the Turks have been crisscrossing the grassland for many years, even when Tuyuhun was at its strongest, the Xianbei people had to look at the faces of the Turks, and for the leaders of these small tribes such as Jiaoliyan, it was unattainable

"Something that has no interest," Liu Ziqiu scolded with a smile and waved his hand, "The old rule is to let those turned slaves be the masters"

In fact, Liu Ziqiu also knew the rules of these nomadic tribes to treat the vanquished, but he knew very well that under the current conditions, he had no ability to control the vast grassland, even if he killed all the Turks on the grassland, there would soon be new nomadic peoples such as Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongolia to re-emerge to fill the vacancy in the grassland

It is not a good idea to let these slaves turn over and become masters, and within ten years, they may be grateful to Liu Ziqiu, but as time goes by, they or their descendants will also become unruly like the current Turks, until they attack the Central Plains, but all Liu Ziqiu hopes for is the peace of these ten years, and with more than ten years, he is enough to unify the Central Plains and build a strong army

If the farming people of the Central Plains want to live in peace with the nomads on the grassland, the most important thing is to make themselves strong, followed by good exchanges between the two sides, so killing is not the best way to solve the problem, and it is precisely because of this that Liu Ziqiu will personally lead the army into Mobei, because he is worried that these soldiers under his command will go too far

The hope of Jiaoliyan was not successful, and it was naturally a great disappointment, but the slaves who had turned over and became masters were excited, and the mistress who had been to look up to them was now their woman, and from now on they did not need to be crowded with cows and horses, and could live in warm felt tents, drink delicious mare's milk wine, nibble on golden roast leg of lamb, and enjoy the Hu Xuan dance of Turkic maidens

Liu Ziqiu did not stay in the camp any longer, he randomly appointed an old adult slave to be the patriarch of this small tribe, and he himself led the army to continue north

An army of 20,000 people plus 50,000 or 60,000 empty horses, even if they march on the vast grassland, the momentum is amazing enough, and it is impossible to hide their whereabouts, so Liu Ziqiu gave full play to the mobility of the cavalry, emphasizing the word "fast", and did not give the grassland tribes any chance to breathe and prepare, and in just three days, Liu Ziqiu's army has swept through more than 20 small tribes south of Jinshan, and arrived at the foot of Jinshan

Jinshan is the Altai Mountains of later generations, after passing through the Altai Mountains, there will be many Turkic tribes, among which there are some relatively large tribes, there is a small hill between Jinshan and Yudujin Mountain, called Dishen Mountain, at the foot of Dishen Mountain, there is a larger Turkic tribe, the leader of this tribe Ashina Lifa is a real Turkic nobleman, his father is the famous Qimin Khan Ashina Dyegan

There are many Turkic tribes, but the two most powerful tribes are the Ashina and the Ashid, these two tribes control the entire Turkic steppe, whether the Western Turks or the Eastern Turks, many years ago, in order to compete for who is the supreme ruler of the Turks, there have been many wars and conflicts between the two tribes, the result is naturally both defeats, both sides can hardly bear heavy losses, and finally an agreement was reached that the people of the Ashina tribe will serve as the Turkic Khan, but the Turkic queen can only be selected from the Ashid tribe

The place where the Turkic Khan is stationed is called the Turkic Tooth Tent, the Turkic Tooth Tent people are the elite of the royal court, they do not need to herd horses and sheep all year round, and the supplies needed are all supplied by other tribes, and the property and slaves plundered through war and raid on the Central Plains are also preferentially selected by the people of the Tooth Tent, among these elites of the Turkic Tooth Tent, there are both people and horses belonging to the Khan, and there are also people and horses belonging to the queen, in fact, the queen is not an accessory of the Khan, they also have their own tribes and soldiers and horses, in order to ensure the unity of the Turkic Tooth Tent, the Turks implemented the step-marriage system, and the new Khan married other concubines other than the biological mother, so as to ensure that the strength of the Tooth Tent will not be weakened because of the change of the Khan

This summer, the Khan of Qimin, Ashina, suddenly became seriously ill and is still bedridden, he has thirteen sons and seventeen daughters, each of whom has his own tribe, but the most promising successor to the throne is Ashina Jishi and Ashina Lifa, because their tribe is the most powerful, of course, who can finally win the throne must also see how strong the Ashid clan standing behind them is

Ashina Lifa's wife is called Ashdemul Doli, from the largest tribe of the Ashid tribe, the leader of this tribe, Ashd Mullin's sister Ashd Mullin is the queen of Qimin Khan, of course, Qimin Khan has more than one queen, Yang Guang's cousin Princess Yicheng is one of the queens of Qimin Khan, Qimin Khan is seriously ill, and the matter of who will inherit the throne of Khan is also on the agenda, three days ago, Ashina Lifa took a large number of his guards to the Turkic tent, in addition to him and Ashina Jishi, several other brothers are also eyeing the Khan, in order to seize the Khan, these brothers are afraid of doing everything, Ashina Lifa can not be more careful, he took away 18,000 warriorsOnly about 2,000 young men were left in the huge camp

The soldiers have not closed their eyes for three days and three nights, and it is nothing to these warriors from nomadic tribes, but the next thing they will face is the tribe of Ashina, Lifa, it is said that there are 20,000 Turkic elite horsemen in the camp, this is the first hard bone they have encountered since entering Mobei, and the elimination of this tribe will deal a huge blow to the Turks, Liu Ziqiu ordered to camp south of Jinshan to rest

Those unridden war horses, which were originally loaded with materials for camping, and there were many cattle and sheep plundered from small tribes in the team, and after nightfall, Liu Ziqiu ordered all those cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, so that the soldiers could have a full meal, after all, eating dried meat for a long time has eaten all the appetites, and they also need to change their tastes

Attacking Ashina, the tribe of Lifa is the last battle in Liu Ziqiu's plan, after the battle is over, Liu Ziqiu plans to collect troops and withdraw to Hexi, since it is the last battle, Liu Ziqiu is not ready to adopt the original strategy of letting the slaves regain liberation and turn over as masters, but intends to act according to the rules of the nomadic tribe, killing is cruel, but the war is full of blood, and the mercy to the enemy is cruel to himself, Liu Ziqiu still understands this truth, and these soldiers from various nomadic tribes who follow him also need cattle and sheep and slaves

After resting all night, when the morning sun rose from the east and the sun shone on the golden mountain, Liu Ziqiu loudly announced a new order: "Warriors, climb over the mountain in front, where there are beautiful girls and fat cattle and sheep waiting for you, rush over and kill all those who stand in your way, and take away the booty that belongs to you."

Wen Hao was shocked: "Lord, haven't you always opposed bullying the weak?"

Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said: "Liu wants to let the Turks know that this is the price of their attack on the Great Sui border, if they dare to continue to invade the Great Sui border, Liu will definitely make them pay ten times or a hundred times the price."

Jiao Liyan looked excited: "The lord wants to allow his subordinates to pick two this time."

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "Don't worry, you'll be the first to pick when the time comes"

Jiao Liyan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, it's the lord who picks first."

Of course, Liu Ziqiu wouldn't pick any Turkic women, but he didn't argue with him, and waved his head: "Let's go."

The army marched to the top of the mountain, and suddenly several big eagle horns appeared in the sky, and several eagles landed in front of him from the sky, and chirped a few times, and the horns frowned and said: "Back to the lord Ashina, there are only 2,000 soldiers and horses in the camp of Lifa."

These eagle eagles are Liu Ziqiu inspired by Meng Wuza, so that the breeding training is used to reconnoiter the enemy, because it is not easy to find a big eagle with the same human nature as the golden eagle of Meng Wuza, so Liu Ziqiu raised eighty eagles in one breath, and the measures taken are to win by quantity, just released ten eagles, and the results flew back a total of four, and the other six did not know whether they were lost or hunted, but only two of these four eagle eagles brought back the news of the camp of Tong Lifa

Of course, Liu Ziqiu didn't know that Qimin Khan was seriously ill, and he didn't know that Tong Lifa had gone to the tooth tent to compete for the Khan position, and heard that there were only 2,000 people left in the camp, Liu Ziqiu was stunned and groaned: "Could it be that Qi Lifa has already received the news of the arrival of our army, where has the ambush been set up?"

Seeing so many women for three days in a row, he couldn't get a single corner, and he was already holding back his anger and said loudly: "The lord doesn't care if he has an ambush, let's kill him first."

Wen Hao arched his hand and said: "The arrow is ready to send his subordinates to ask the lord to watch the battle on the top of the mountain for the forerunner."

"It's a good arrow," Liu Ziqiu stroked his palms and said, "You and I are brothers in life and death, how can Liu let my brothers take the risk of hiding behind and stealing their lives, and the brothers are on the horse to kill",.
