"Report to General Cao, the people of Xue Yantuo have asked our army to surrender!" Liu Yi galloped to Cao Huaishun, who had already led his troops to arrive, and reported, "The men and horses of the headquarters have not fired an arrow, and they have not fired a single shot..."

"Ben knows!" Cao Huaishun, who was depressed, had already received the news that Liu Yi had sent someone first, and knew the news of Xue Yantuo's surrender, and after receiving the news, he also ordered the people of his headquarters to speed up and catch up with Liu Yi's department.

The order to set off was given by Cao Huaishun, including Liu Yi's troops, several men and horses were preparing at about the same time, and they were all marching at night, but this hundred miles of travel, Liu Yi's department was almost an hour and a half faster than the others, which made Cao Huaishun and other generals incomprehensible, how did Liu Yi's men and horses catch up, because the target position of Liu Yi's attack was thirty or forty miles farther than the other departments, it stands to reason that Liu Yi's department should be the last to arrive at the predetermined position, but now, Liu Yi's department was the first to arrive near the camp of the Xue Yantuo people, and successfully forced the landing of tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo people, and the other departments arrived one after another, which surprised the generals.

Liu Yi knew the reason, the arrangement of one man and two horses in his department was the key factor, all the way to gallop wildly, with the fastest speed that could be achieved at night, which also made Liu Yi's troops arrive outside their tent without any expectation of the Xue Yantuo people, plus the Turkic people's tent has been destroyed by our army, causing the Xue Yantuo people who originally wanted to rely on Ashina Fu Nian lost their fighting spirit and directly chose to surrender.

No matter what the reason is, the Xue Yantuo people have surrendered, this is the best thing, after Cao Huaishun led the troops to arrive, he also separated the men and horses as soon as possible, surrounded the surrendered Xue Yantuo people, and strictly prevented any chaos from happening, and then he himself took some people to Liu Yi's temporary camp tent used as a command post, and Liu Yi also greeted him immediately after receiving the report.

"General Liu, your troops forced the Xue Yantuo people to land so quickly, it was really an accident for the general!" Cao Huaishun jumped off the horse as he spoke, returned Liu Yi's salute, and walked to the tent under Liu Yi's gesture of invitation.

Liu Yi followed closely behind Cao Huaishun, "General Cao, this is the Turkic leader Ashina Fusi who surrendered to my Tang Dynasty and led people into the camp of Xue Yantuo, and successfully persuaded his head Dusha to surrender..."

"Oh, General Liu brought Ashina Fusi here too?" Cao Huaishun stopped in surprise and looked at Liu Yi, "Why don't you report this matter to Ben Jiang?" ”

"After Ashinavus surrendered, he has been placed under the leadership of the last general, and General Cao also said that these Turkic generals are all at the disposal of the last general, so the last general did not report this situation to General Cao!" Liu Yi hurriedly explained.

"I see!" Cao Huaishun thought about it for a while, and remembered that he did have instructions in this regard, but at that time it was a polite remark, a kind of respect for Liu Yi, but he didn't expect that Liu Yi would bring Ashina Fusi, a Turkic general with a different identity, without reporting him during this operation, and he really didn't know how to say it.

"General Cao, Ashina Fusi successfully persuaded Xue Yantuo to surrender, and the last general felt that he should take credit for him, so that the imperial court could use this to exonerate him, so that Ashina Fusi would sincerely cooperate with my Datang!" Liu Yi was almost just talking casually, and he also knew that it was Pei Xingjian who finally reported the battle to the court, and what Pei Xingjian thought was the most important thing.

"General Liu is so confident?"

"With both grace and power, there will be many Turkic leaders who are willing to cooperate with my Datang!"

"It's better for you to talk to the marshal in detail," Cao Huaishun also understood the twists and turns, no longer said this, walked to the tent, sat down on the main seat, and then said to Liu Yi: "General Liu, you will tell the general about this operation in detail..."

Cao Huaishun was really a little annoyed in his heart this time, he originally wanted to make a profit this time, but he never thought that Liu Yi's hands and feet were so fast, and before he arrived, he forced Xue Yantuo's people to land, and the opportunity to make meritorious service was lost, and there may be no more, and he also regretted not letting Liu Yi's troops stay in the camp to guard the prisoners... Liu Yi roughly recounted the experience, and said: "The last general has already arranged the preparations for rushing to the camp, if Xue Yantuo's people do not surrender, the last general can immediately lead the men and horses to rush to the camp, and the men and horses brought by General Cao will also arrive immediately, Xue Yantuo people are defenseless, no matter what, they will not be able to resist our army's rushing camp... If General Cao hadn't made a quick decision and ordered the last general to lead his troops to attack, the Xue Yantuo people would soon be able to find out the whereabouts of our army and take precautions, it would probably be a tough battle, and many brothers would have died!"

Liu Yi had already heard some flavor from Cao Huaishun's tone, and was busy explaining, and slapped Cao Huaishun on the back, and deducted most of the credit to Cao Huaishun's head, sure enough, Cao Huaishun's eyebrows and eyes were a little stretched, but under Liu Yi's gaze, he put away his expression again, and said with a haha: "This battle is the swift action of General Liu's troops, and our army has arrived outside its camp when the Xue Yantuo people are not prepared, which forced the Xue Yantuo people to surrender, of course, the credit must be counted on General Liu's head, and the situation will be explained in the battle report presented to the marshal." …”

When Liu Yi heard Cao Huaishun say this, he didn't argue anymore, but asked about the next move, "General Cao, how will our army act next?" ”

"I think that our troops should immediately escort the surrendered Xue Yantuo and the Turks, quickly join the men and horses led by the marshal, and then listen to the marshal's next move! What does General Liu think? Cao Huaishun said and looked at Liu Yi.

"The last general also feels that he should quickly move to the southeast, join up with several other troops, clear the remnants of the rebels, and hand over the captured men and horses to the commander!" Liu Yi also agreed with Cao Huaishun's suggestion.

"Okay, General Liu, the army will rest for a while, and immediately escort Xue Yantuo's people south!" Cao Huaishun stood up.

"Yes, General!" Liu Yi answered loudly——

In the early morning, north of Qingshan, the men and horses waving the banner of the Tang Dynasty marched quickly to the north.

In order to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the rebels as soon as possible, Pei Xingjian has ordered most of the men and horses to move forward lightly, leaving the baggage to the thousands of people and horses behind the palace to escort.

While he was on the move, several horsemen rushed to Pei Xingjian and shouted loudly: "Dashuai, General Cao and General Liu have joined forces and successfully forced down Xue Yantuo, about 10,000 accounts!" General Cao and General Liu are leading their troops into Baidao with their captives, preparing to join our troops!"

"Oh?!, Xue Yantuo?" Pei Xingjian was a little surprised, stopped the war horse, took the battle report from the sergeant, and read it.

Pei Xingjian glanced at it a few times, the expression on his face became very comfortable, he laughed twice, and he was also proud in his heart, "This kid, his hands and feet are really not ordinarily fast, he actually forced landed tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo people so easily, it's not simple, it's not simple..."

After Pei Xingjian laughed a few times, under the surprised gazes of several sergeants around him, he also put away his smile and gave an order: "Order General Wu Sansi to lead his troops to meet General Cao and General Liu in the direction of Baidao, and the rest of the troops will march with Ben Shuai, preparing to flank Ashdwin Fu's troops..."

"Yes, Dashuai!" The sergeant was ordered to deliver the order.

Before receiving the battle report sent by Cao Huaishun and Liu Yi, Pei Xingjian also received a briefing from several other departments, Li Zhishi and Cheng Wuting had cleaned up the remnants abandoned by Ashina Funian when he fled, and were coming to the northeast, Li Wenyun and He Jiami were chasing and destroying Ashdwin Fu's army, Ashdwin Fu led the remnants of about 8,000 people to flee to the northwest, preparing to flee into the desert again, Ashstewin Fu abandoned those dependent tribes when he fled, and used them to block the pursuit of our army. Li Wenjun's troops and He Jiami's troops were unable to pursue them, and temporarily lost the news of the remnants of Ashdwin Fu.

Wu Sansi, who received the order, led more than 10,000 men and horses to march in the northward direction, and the rest of the men and horses continued to march north.

After Pei Xingjian divided his troops with Wu Sansi, he even made his subordinates speed up, and most of the rebels' forces were wiped out, but the two leaders of the rebels, Ashina Funian and Ashdevin Fu have not been caught, this is a pity, if these two people are allowed to lead the remnants to escape into the desert, and our army can't catch up, it will definitely leave hidden dangers, just like last time, so this time, although Ashina Funian sent someone to send a letter of willingness to return, Pei Xingjian still acted according to his own arrangement.

Even if Ashina Fu Nian is really willing to surrender and will lead to Ashdewin's Fu Department to surrender, Pei Xingjian's headquarters will still continue to advance north.

After dividing the troops with Wu Sansi, Pei Xingjian's personal leadership department marched for dozens of miles, and it was already early afternoon at this time, Pei Xingjian ordered the soldiers to take a short rest, prepare to replenish food and water, and the men and horses recovered some physical strength before advancing.

Pei Xingjian, under the escort of several personal guards, rested for a while in a valley, stood on the hillside and checked the situation with a telescope, and suddenly rushed from a distance to count the horses, and the vigilant sergeant immediately greeted him.

After a while, the horses who came away from the team of people and horses that met them, and ran directly to Pei Xingjian's place, and when they got closer, Pei Xingjian also saw clearly, this was a scout sent out to inquire about intelligence.

"Marshal, ten miles ahead, I found that the Turkic men and horses marching in the brigade were coming in the direction of our army!" The scout reported the situation loudly, "There are not a few Turkic centaurs, the sky is full of sand and dust, and it is estimated that there are 10,000 or 20,000 horses!"

When Dou Yizhao, the general next to Pei Xingjian, heard this, he was very nervous, "Dashuai, the Turks have tens of thousands of horses, and our army only has more than 10,000, what should I do?" ”

Pei Xingjian had already divided most of the people, and there were only 15,000 people around him, and when he heard the scouts report that there were tens of thousands of Turks, everyone around him was surprised.

"Don't worry, it must be Ashina Fu who has come to hold Ashina Fu and Ashwin Fu!" Pei Xingjian looked confident, "But Ashina is thinking that Ashina is insisting that Ashina Fu come to surrender, and he must prevent him from cheating, so that all the people are ready to fight!"

Pei Xingjian ordered Dou Yizhao again: "General Dou, this marshal ordered you to lead five hundred horsemen and horses to meet Ashina Funian and Ashdewen Fu, and welcome these two guests from afar for Ben Shuai..."

"Yes, Dashuai!" Dou Yizhao saw that Pei Xingjian was so confident, and his hanging heart also relaxed, and he immediately obeyed the order.

Seeing Dou Yizhao galloping away with five hundred horsemen, Pei Xingjian also got on his horse and lined up in the valley where he had just rested, waiting for the arrival of Ashina Fu Nian, who he expected to descend from Ashina Fu...
