The small characters were clearly written, and the Sui army left a three-day deadline for Mi. Three days later, if Du Mi remained in Du Jishi's camp and refused to serve Mu Lin as a Turkic khan, the Sui army would have bloodied the Du Mi tribe.

The association rate was overjoyed: "Three days! That's great. Dumi, let's ambush your tribe. As long as those Sui people dare to come, they will be wiped out! ”

Du Mi said: "It's okay, let's go our separate ways, I'll go back to the tribe to make some preparations first." ”

At the beginning, Liu Ziqiu did not exterminate the Dumi tribe, and did not even take the opportunity to possess his beautiful wife Gu Liya. Although the Turks did not have too many scruples about the relationship between men and women, Liu Ziqiu still made Gulya very grateful for this. Of course, after listening to the movements made by Liu Ziqiu and Mu Duoli, Gu Liya really wanted to feel the impact of Liu Ziqiu's strength. However, Gu Liya said a lot of good things for Liu Ziqiu in her letter to Du Mi.

Du Mi didn't want to face Liu Ziqiu head-on, Gu Liya's words did play a big role, but more important was the news brought by those survivors. There was no shortage of tribal warriors who survived that battle. These warriors still have lingering palpitations when they talk about the strong combat power of the Sui army. This makes Du Mi have to seriously consider the gains and losses.

He asked him and the association to lead the jīng soldiers to recapture the Turkic tent, but he had no way to refuse. Now, the tooth tent has returned to their hands, although it has been burned clean by a fire, his task has finally been completed, and there is no need to continue to pursue the Sui army on the grassland, so he is not active along the way. Now there is a new problem, the Sui army is once again targeting his tribe, and he will not let them go like the last time.

Weighing the pros and cons, Du Mi did not think that with their 60,000 horses, he could ensure victory over that Sui army, and as a result of the defeat, his tribe would cease to exist. The association rate and Tatarin don't matter, their tribe has already been wiped out by the Sui army, but most of the aggressive tribe is still there, but they are not willing to repeat their mistakes.

When he led his team of 30,000 people to the tribe, Du Mi suddenly gathered the leaders and said: "The Han people pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and generosity, but this Sui army is completely different, they are even more brutal than our Turks. They're about to come to my tribe, what do you think? ”

A bearded leader stood up and said, "Since the Han people are so cruel, then let's fight him to the death and swear to defend the safety of the clansmen!" ”

Du Mi shook his head and said, "Let's fight back and forth, why?" Isn't it to make the clansmen live a good life? What's the point if everyone dies in battle? I heard that as long as Mullin became a Turkic khan, the Han people would open the border market. I want to serve Mulin as a Turkic Khan and avoid the scourge of soldiers, what do you think? ”

Several leaders jumped to their feet: "No! Mulin is a member of the Asid tribe, how can he be a Turkic khan! ”

Du Mi sneered: "More than a hundred years ago, for who to be the Turkic Khan, the Asid people and our Ashina people were in a fierce fight. In the end, the Ashina people were able to win in the end, not because of how powerful the Ashina people were, but because the Ashid people made concessions. Things are different now. Now that the Asid people have the support of the Sui people, will they be willing to continue to bow down? Rather than losing both, it's better to take a step back. The tribes of Tatarin did not have a single wool left, and of course they wanted to find the Sui people to fight for their lives. You and my tribe are still here, are we going to end up like them? ”

The last sentence is the key, the leaders present have all seen the tragic scene after the destruction of the Tatarin tribe and the Monergan, and no one wants their tribe to suffer such a fate. There are only two options to avoid this from happening. The first is to completely eliminate the Sui cavalry that entered the grassland. The second is to break away from the ranks of the Dujishi according to the requirements of the Sui people, and change Mulin to the new Turkic Khan. Both of these choices are very difficult for them.

If they were Ashed people, of course they would not hesitate to make the second choice, but they were Ashina people, and if they chose the second path, they were likely to be spurned. But the first choice is not so easy to complete, the Mobei grassland is too big, it is not the season for grazing, most places are uninhabited, it is difficult to find the whereabouts of those Sui troops. But either way, keeping your tribe is the most important thing. Think about how powerful the Lifa tribe was at the beginning, but it fell to the point that it was not even as good as a small tribe, all thanks to the Sui army.

Seeing that the leaders were silent, Du Mi nodded secretly, and said, "If the association rate and Tatarin want to fight, let them fight!" If they win, our problem will be solved. If they lose, we can save the people. So, I would like to ask everyone to take refuge in my tribe for the time being. Who wouldn't? ”

All the leaders, you look at me, I look at you, and they all nodded in unison.

……

However, it was said that Tatarin led 30,000 cavalry and rushed to the tribe from the right side, only to see a few eagle owls flying through the sky. The men of the grassland regard being able to shè under the eagle as the most glorious thing. But after the destruction of the two tribes, these people were already full of thoughts, and none of them even raised their bows to each other. The eagles circled and flew north. After walking more than 30 miles, they saw several eagle eagles passing over their heads.

Tatarin suddenly had a sense of foreboding, and said, "Prince of the Association Rate, do these flat-haired beasts smell something?" ”

He said without thinking: "Don't worry, as long as you rush to the aggressive tribe one day earlier and set up an ambush in advance, you will inevitably defeat the Sui army, and the corpses everywhere will be the best food for these beasts!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a "bang" in front of him, the sky was dark, and countless iron arrows were coming. The Turkic cavalry that rushed to the front fell to the ground one after another, and for a time people turned on their backs, screaming again and again. The association rate was shocked: "Not good! There is an ambush, retreat! ”

But it was too late to speak, and countless iron arrows flew from both sides. These iron arrows are close and powerful, and one iron arrow can often pass through the bodies of several cavalrymen, and in an instant, more than half of the men and horses at the union rate are damaged. There were all kinds of killings around, and the four teams of cavalry crashed into the ranks of the association rate like dragons entering the sea. The sword flashed, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the Turkic cavalry who were caught off guard were cut off their horses one after another. The ambush ended in only half an hour, and more than 23,000 of the 30,000 Turkic cavalry were killed on the spot, and the rest were taken prisoner, including Tatarin and more than 20 tribal leaders, large and small.

A day later, Liu Ziqiu led a large group of cavalry to appear outside the camp of the Dumi tribe. When he got the news, he hurriedly assembled his team, and now there were more than 30,000 horses in his camp, and he should still be able to fight. At this time, I suddenly saw several horsebacks rushing over like flying. Because of the small number of people on the other side, Du Mi did not give the order to release the arrows, but sent a team of cavalry to rush over. After a while, he brought those people to Du Mi.

When those people arrived in front of Du Mi, they prostrated on the ground and cried bitterly: "Lord Du Mi, the prince of the association was captured by the Sui army. ”

"What!" Du Mi secretly said that he was lucky in his heart, but he pretended to be extremely shocked on his face, and said, "What's the matter? ”

Those few people trembled and pointed to the outside of the camp and said, "The Sui army is over there, they asked the villain to take the talk, please go and watch the ceremony." ”

Du Mi frowned and said, "Watch the ceremony, what kind of ceremony?" ”

The people hurriedly said, "The villain doesn't know what it means." They say, and you will know when you go. They also said that if you don't go, they will kill themselves! ”

Du Mi was originally jealous of this Sui army that broke into the grassland, and after listening to the words of these people, and hearing that the association rate had become a prisoner, he was even more timid. But he was afraid of falling for the Sui army, and after being plotted by them, he hesitated again and again, so he ordered 3,000 jīng soldiers from the Ben tribe to leave the camp.

Outside the camp, several groups of Sui cavalry were galloping back and forth, and in the snow in front of them, thousands of prisoners fell to their knees, and the one kneeling at the front was the association rate. Although the association rate knelt on the ground, he looked stubborn. He is the son of a Turkic khan, how can he admit defeat, how can he be willing to kneel in front of the enemy? Du Mi took a closer look, only to find that the snow in front of the association rate had been stained red with blood, and the flesh and blood on the knees of the association rate were blurred, I am afraid that it had been broken by the Sui people.

Seeing that there were soldiers and horses coming out of the camp, the Sui cavalry suddenly rushed to the captives kneeling on the snow, a flash of swords, and the heads of people rolled. One of the Sui cavalrymen raised his saber and cut off the head of the association rate, and deliberately waved it. The head of the association rate crossed a perfect arc, "snapped" in front of Du Mi, and bounced twice on the ground, not knowing where to roll.

Du Mi couldn't help but shudder on the horse, and then he understood what ceremony Sui Jun had asked him to watch. However, to his surprise, the Han did not execute all the thousands of captives, but only more than a thousand people kneeling at the front.

At this moment, another cavalryman rushed over and shouted, "Where is the dumi? Why don't you hurry up and meet Lord Liu! ”

Almost involuntarily, Mi rode over, knelt down in front of Liu Ziqiu with a "plop", and bowed his head and said, "I beg the lord to forgive the villain's clan." ”

Liu Ziqiu sneered: "You are the brother of Du Jishi? ”

Du Mi hurriedly said: "My lord, the villain has decided to part ways with Du Jishi, and from now on he will respect Mu Lin as a khan!" ”

Liu Ziqiu's face softened a little, waved his hand, and said, "Since this is the case, Liu will give you a task." After the matter is completed, Liu can also crown you as a Turkic Khan! The Mobei grassland is too big, how can one khan be enough? In the future, the four khans must divide and rule! ”
