Song Jingang only thought that Liu Wuzhou was going to send a beautiful woman to him, but he didn't think much about it, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the minister's family has also come to Yanmen with the minister this time."

Liu Wu listened to it on Monday and said regretfully: "My sister is thirteen years old, and she has not yet allowed anyone. I wanted to marry General Song, but now, alas. ”

Song Jingang's mind was full of thoughts, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to divorce his wife!" ”

Liu Wuzhou was overjoyed, and immediately named Song Jingang as the king of Song, ordered someone to choose a mansion in Yanmen City for him to live in, and gave him half of the family property, and selected two hundred maids from the palace maids of Fenyang Palace who were too late to take away as Song Wangfu. Three days later, Liu Wuzhou married his sister-in-law to Song Jingang. After another three days, Liu Wuzhou proclaimed himself emperor, changed the Yuan Tianxing, and appointed Huang Ziying, Wei Chigong, Zhang Lun, and Wang Xingben as generals. When the news broke, the entire river was shaken.

……

However, it was said that Du Jishi led 160,000 Turkic cavalry, lightly armed, and hurriedly returned to the Mobei grassland. As soon as the army arrived at the moraine, they heard that the Sui army had captured the Turkic tent and had set up Asd Mulin as a Turkic khan.

Ji Shi said angrily: "No wonder the Sui people entered the grassland with some ease, it turned out that Mu Lin was the inner jiān who was troubled!" If you catch him, you will definitely break him into pieces! ”

Du Mi was anxious to go back and see what happened to his tribe, and couldn't help but say: "The rules set by our ancestors for a hundred years, the Khan can only be held by our Ashina people, even if he Mulin occupies the Khan position, who will listen to the orders?" You don't have to be anxious about sweating, you can take it slowly! ”

The association rate already knew that his tribe had been ransacked, and he was not in a hurry to rush back, and said loudly: "Father Khan, since Mullin is pretending to be a khan, he must have occupied the tooth tent. Our army of 160,000 cannot be destroyed! Please give the order of Father Khan, and the child is willing to be the striker! ”

"This matter started from the dispute between the Ashina and the Ashide, among the 160,000 troops around us, there are also many Ashid people, if the news leaks out, they may not be willing to fight with Mullin, and they will even defect." Knowing that his father, Qimin Khan, had used various means to weaken the power of the Ashid people over the years, and that many of the Ashrid people were already disgruntled, Mullin took the opportunity to occupy the tooth tent and called Khan, I am afraid that it was just a vent for his dissatisfaction over the years. However, Du Jishi knew more about the importance of the Turkic tooth tent, so he couldn't help but nod and said, "The tooth tent must be taken back, but there is no need to bring all these horses with you." At the rate of association, you and Du Mi each led 30,000 jīng soldiers, day and night, and rushed to the tooth tent. Remember, only the warriors of our Ashina tribe can be selected! ”

According to the news brought by the remnants of the tribe led by the Du Mi tribe and the association, the Sui army that invaded the grassland had no more than 10,000 cavalry, and Mu Lin's men would not exceed 20,000 soldiers and horses. If they want to capture the tooth tent, they will inevitably encounter stubborn resistance from the tooth tent guards, and the casualties will be at least more than 20,000. Therefore, Du Jishi estimated that although Mu Lin occupied the tooth tent, even with the help of the Sui people, there were only more than 10,000 people left under his command at most. Now send 60,000 men to attack him, and you should be able to capture him.

After entering the steppe, these Turkic cavalry moved much faster than in Yanmen, Loufu and other places. Du Mi and the association led the army over the mountains and mountains overnight, and appeared on the bank of the Egen River in the evening of the next day, only to see that not far away was already a scorched earth, and the huge khanate tooth tent had long been burned to ashes. The Yicheng Princess tribe and the Hongzhan tribe that were originally stationed nearby also disappeared, leaving only wolves everywhere.

It turned out that Liu Ziqiu thought that spreading the news of the establishment of the border city would attract many small tribes to turn their allegiance to the new Khan Mulin, so that their clansmen would break away from the army of Dujishi and weaken the strength of Dujishi. However, under the prestige of Du Jishi, although the clansmen of those small tribes heard the news, not many people took the initiative to break away from Du Jishi's team, and the effect was much worse than Liu Ziqiu imagined. Of course, there are also reasons why Du Jishi deliberately concealed the news.

But in this way, if Liu Ziqiu and Mu Lin continue to stay in the tooth tent, they will have to face the 200,000 army of Du Jishi. Because of the lack of information, Liu Ziqiu and Mu Lin still don't know that Du Jishi also suffered heavy losses in the battles of Mayi, Yanmen, Loufu and other places, and his subordinates only have 160,000 left. Even if there were only 160,000 people left in the city, the combined forces of Liu Ziqiu and Mu Lin were only 50,000, which was also very outnumbered. At this time, Liu Ziqiu made a major decision to give up the Turkic tent and move to other places!

The tooth tent was of special significance to the Turks, and since Mu Lin was already known as the Turkic Khan, he was reluctant to leave, and said, "Lord Liu, or let's negotiate with Du Jishi." It is possible to divide the Eastern Turks in two and set up two khans. ”

Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said, "Stupid, Du Ji Shi's victory is in his hands, will he accept such a result?" ”

It can be seen that Mullin's vision and ability are far inferior to that of Du Jishi. However, from this incident, Liu Ziqiu strengthened his determination to support Mu Lin as a Turkic Khan. With Mullin as the Turkic Khan, it is really not too easy for the Turks to become strong, but they can have one less strong enemy in the north.

Thinking of this, Liu Ziqiu's tone softened again, and said: "Father-in-law, we Han people have a good saying, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of no firewood." Instead of dying here with the Dujishi, it is better to take a step back and open the sky. Father-in-law, you lead the tribe to move to the Wuwei border, and once the Jishi hits there, you can retreat to the Great Wall for a while. I'll let them go with you to Lidoyun, so that they can take care of each other along the way. ”

Mu Lin thought about it, but still unwilling, and said: "I'm afraid that once I leave this time, no one will listen to my orders." ”

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "Don't worry, Liu promised you that before the grazing season next year, I will definitely let you come back here and continue to be your khan!" ”

Mu Lin had seen the bravery of Liu Ziqiu's cavalry, and he was convinced of Liu Ziqiu's promise, so he had to agree, but it was a pity, and said: "It's just that this tooth tent is too big, but I can't take it away." ”

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Since you can't take it away, then it's a fire!" ”

Mu Lin was shocked and said: "This is a Turkic tooth tent, how can it be burned!" ”

Liu Ziqiu sneered: "The old ones don't go, the new ones don't come, when he regains the throne, I will send someone to make you a new tooth tent, which is definitely more magnificent and luxurious than this one." What do you think? What else do you have to worry about? ”

Mu Lin had no choice but to nod his head and asked again, "I don't know if Lord Liu can withdraw with us?" ”

Liu Ziqiu smiled and said: "No, Liu wants to fight a guerrilla war with Du Jishi on this Mobei grassland!" You just need to do one thing for Liu. ”

Mu Lin said in a loud voice: "Please Lord Liu command." ”

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "You continue to arrange for your clansmen to spread the news and tell the people of various tribes that as long as they continue to follow Du Jishi, they will encounter the disaster of extermination!" Liu did what he said, and the Tatarin tribe three hundred miles away was the first example! ”

It was not difficult to spread the news, and there were people in the Mulin tribe who originally belonged to the Hongzhan tribe and the Princess Yicheng tribe, so he singled out a few people to stay here and revealed the news to them. Of course, Liu Ziqiu did not rely entirely on Mullin. After burning the Turks' tooth tents, Liu Ziqiu wrote this passage in lime on the scorched earth. Although this passage was written in Chinese, most of the Turkic chieftains understood Chinese and believed they could recognize it.

So, when Mi and the association arrived here with 60,000 cavalry, in addition to the desolation scene, there was also news that stunned them. The Turkic tooth tent was of great significance, and it was burned down by the Sui people, which was a great shame for the Dumi and the association rate. It's a pity that the hoof prints on the snow are messy, and I don't know which direction those Sui troops ran, they have an empty army of 60,000, but there is no place to use it.

The association rate suddenly said: "Yes, didn't they say that they would let the Tatarin tribe suffer the disaster of extermination? Let's rush to the Tatarin tribe now, and maybe we can catch up with them. ”

The Tatarin tribe also belongs to the Ashina clan, and at this moment Tatarin is in the team, and after listening to the words of the association rate, he echoed and said: "Yes, yes, hurry up!" ”

The army of 60,000 marched all the way north, and the road of 300 miles was eager to fly over. Gradually, clear horseshoe prints appeared on the road. The association rate and the aggressiveness of the army were greatly increased, urging the military horses to speed up. They finally arrived at the Tatarin tribe before dawn, but all they saw was dead bodies and a camp burned to ashes. When Tatarin saw this, he screamed, spat blood, and fell off his horse.

Suddenly, someone found a piece of parchment in the wreckage, on which was written the next target of the Sui people.

The association leader shouted: "Quick, quick, they went to the tribe of Monrkhan. Everyone, get on the horse, chase it now! ”

Monrkan is a tribe belonging to the Ashed tribe, and because he was afraid that they would defect to the battle, there were no men and horses in the 60,000 jīng soldiers sent by the Dujishi. However, the situation of the Monerdry tribe was the same as that of the Tatarin tribe, and the Sui army did not show mercy, leaving dead bodies on the ground.

The association rate has already mastered the law of the Sui people, and shouted loudly: "Quick, find out, have they left the name of another tribe!" ”

When someone pulled out a piece of parchment from the ruins, Dumi's face turned white, and his name was written on the paper! The situation is different for the rate of inadequacy and association. Although they were also attacked by the Sui army, there was nothing left of the tribe with the association rate, and the women and children of the Dumi tribe were still there, but there were many fewer cattle and sheep. To use an inappropriate analogy, the association rate is already barefoot, and Du Mi is still wearing shoes, although those shoes are a little torn. But if he is attacked by the Sui army again, then he will also become barefoot. Du Mi only felt that the world was spinning, but the corner of his eye saw a line of small words under the parchment, and hope was suddenly ignited again.
