Chapter 493: Anluo's Dilemma

The grassland forces have always been noble and young and young and light and weak and weak!

No matter how glorious the Khan was during his lifetime, but once he died, he was quickly left behind, and now the Turks are most concerned about not the grand funeral of the Khan, but who will be the one who can inherit the Khan's position?

If it were in the original history, there were quite a few people who could compete with Anluo for the position of Khan, especially Da Luo, the son of the Wooden Pole Khan, and the eldest son of the Yixi Khan, who was the greatest threat to Anluo, who was the son of the Tuobo Khan.

Even before the original war, Anluo's reputation was not as good as that of Daluo, and the threat to him from other slightly less competitive Datou and Chuluo Hou was not small, so it can be said that the Turks before the war were tied for the five powers, and everyone had the possibility of becoming a khan.

But now Da Luo Liaodong was defeated, although Da Luo himself saw that the opportunity was not good and escaped safely, but the strength of his command was greatly damaged, and the threat to Anluo was greatly reduced.

Although the Xia army did not find the bodies of the two, but there was no trace of them, and they were already certain to die, so the two could not become a threat to Anluo's succession to the position of the khan.

And Datou, the only one of the five contenders who has not suffered a major defeat, has not withdrawn from the front line of Yangwu City so far.

By the time Datou withdrew, even if his strength still existed, he would not be able to win the support of most of the Turkic leaders based in the Yili and Hezhong regions, so if you think carefully, it is now Anluo who has the ability and strength to inherit the position of Khan.

Just a dozen days later, in the Turkic tooth tent at the foot of Dujin Mountain, after being elected by many Turkic tribal leaders, Anluo, the son of Tubo Khan, was unanimously elected as the new Turkic Khan.

It is said that after Anluo inherited the position of Khan, the first thing he should do was to collect soldiers and horses from all over the Turkic country to continue to fight against the Xia army, at least to repel the hand that the Xia state wanted to reach out to the depths of the steppe, and expel the Xia army from the territory of the Khitan and Kumoxi people, but at this time there was an accident.

Datou Yehu, who attacked Yangwu City on the north route, also failed unexpectedly!

However, it is obvious that Datou is very cunning, the strength of his army is well preserved, and he did not really have a decisive battle with the Xia army, and when he withdrew and returned, there were still 80,000 Turkic cavalry, which can be said to be the lowest strength among several Turkic armies.

Originally, there were 50,000 Tiele cavalry and 20,000 Khitan cavalry under Datou's command, but these Khitans only had more than 10,000 after a big battle, and when they learned that the Xia army was attacking their territory, they hurriedly went south.

And the 50,000 Tiele people were even more slippery than Datou when they first started fighting, because most of them were the Tiele tribes around the Beihai where the Guli cadres were concentrated, and most of them secretly traded with the Xia Kingdom, so they would not do it if they gave up their huge trade profits to attack the Xia Kingdom.

As early as the beginning of the attack on Yangwu City, these Tiele people looked like they were thundering and not raining, and they were about to withdraw if they rushed casually, and Datou himself was unwilling to fight hard, so he turned a blind eye to the behavior of the Tiele people as if they didn't see it.

Therefore, when Datou decided to retreat, these Tiele people had already looked desperate and scattered, so Datou continued to lead his 80,000 cavalry to the Turkic tent, no matter what, only strength is the most fundamental in the grassland.

However, when Datou Yehu was still five hundred miles away from the Turkic Tooth Tent, he suddenly learned the news of the sudden death of the Tubo Khan, so he rushed to the Turkic Tooth Tent day and night as soon as possible, but soon he got the news that Anluo had succeeded the Khan in the Turkic Tooth Tent in Dujin Mountain.

After learning this astonishing news, Datou was silent for a long time, and then ordered the army to suspend the camp and settle down, just when Datou's headquarters was unknown, the next day Datou ordered the army to continue to go to the Turkic tent, and it was like a posture of asking for guilt.

After Anluo, who had not yet sat down in the position of the Turkic tent, learned of this situation, he knew that this was Datou, and he would not be convinced by it, and Anluo would not care about Datou's opinion in the past, but now that the strength of the Turks has been greatly damaged, Anluo has to prepare for war in advance.

Just when Anluo was about to have a big battle with Datou, he suddenly learned that Datou led 80,000 cavalry to sweep directly from the grassland 200 miles north of the tooth tent, and went straight west to Jinshan.

After returning to the Hezhong region, Datou also called himself Datou Khan, but still respected the Turkic tooth tent where Anluo was located, and Da Luo Yehu, who had returned to his back in the northwestern part of Dujin Mountain, also called himself Apo Khan at this time, and respected the Turkic tooth tent.

For this behavior of Datou and Da Luo, Anluo was extremely annoyed, and Da Tou and Da Luo made it clear that they didn't take themselves seriously! But at this time, in order to unite all the forces within the Turks, he could only watch and could not react, and finally had to acquiesce to this situation. Hot search

So at this time, the Turks seemed to be able to advance and retreat together, as if they were still a whole, but they were actually divided internally.

In the original history, after the death of the Tubo Khan, the Turks were the five Khans of Anluo, Daluo, Setu, Datou, and Chuluohou, and the five Khans stood side by side. ”

Therefore, when Anluo succeeded to the throne of Khan, the situation faced by the Turks was really not very good, not only did Datou only respect himself on the surface, but in fact he did not listen to his own orders at all, and the Turkic tribes in Hezhong, Yili and other places completely only listened to Datou's orders.

Even Da Luo, who fled back to his fiefdom, was even more angry that he had lost the throne of the Khan, knowing that before Da Luo's strength was stronger, and the possibility of inheriting the Tubo Khan was also higher, so how could Da Luo not be angry?

If it weren't for the great loss of Da Luo's strength after the first battle in Liaodong, he only had a total of more than 30,000 Turkic cavalry in his hands at this time, otherwise he would have already raised a large army to attack Anluo.

In addition, because of a series of bad practices of the Turks towards the Tiele people in the war, the Tiele people, who had long been disgruntled, also refused Anluo's order to recruit a large army again, and even the more powerful Tiele people such as Hui and Bayegu had begun to move closer to Xue Yantuo.

Xue Yantuo was originally the most powerful tribe among the Tiele people, even if he lost nearly 20,000 people in the battle with the Turks before, but now Xue Yantuo still has more than 50,000 cavalry, plus other Tiele people with other surnames, so the nine surnamed Tiele gathered nearly 200,000 Tiele troops in the Jinshan Mountain Range west of the Turkic tent.

The Tiele people are using their own group to resist the exploitation of the Turks, and it was already very hard to go out to fight with you, but after the defeat, the losses of the Turks have to be made up for from us, which makes the Tiele people endure it.

In the face of the Tiele people gathering to resist and disobey their orders, Anluo had the intention to send troops to suppress it, but after Datou and Da Luo no longer obeyed orders, Anluo really didn't have much strength to suppress the Tiele people, and even Da Luo applauded loudly after learning that Anluo was unable to suppress the Tiele people.

Although the Lites in the middle of the river and the city-states in the Western Regions did not have the courage to disobey the orders of the Turks, they were also dumbfounded by the situation that the Turks were divided into three, who did they listen to? Especially who does the Datou Khan and the Shabalu Khan of the Turkic Tooth Tent listen to?

In this way, the Turks have in fact been divided into three tribes, the vassals within the Turks have expressed their dissatisfaction, the Tiele people are making trouble to split up and live separately, and there is the threat of the increasingly powerful Northern Zhou and Xia kingdoms outside, and Anluo no longer knows what to do.

Anluo also thought of the idea of uniting and Northern Zhou to deal with the Xia Kingdom, but Northern Zhou was still obsessed with the idea of continuing to attack the land of Sanqi in order to completely unify the north, so he still failed to agree to Anluo's idea.

In addition, after the death of Yu Wenyong, the Northern Zhou is no longer the very ambitious Northern Zhou at the beginning, and Yu Wenyun, who did all the ridiculous things, began to show his most ridiculous behavior, and the current Northern Zhou attack on Sanqi is all maintained by Wei Chi Hui, Yu Wenjian and others.

In addition to the above problems, the main threat that Anluo is currently facing is the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Xia army dividing into two routes to attack the steppe.

After the complete defeat of the Turks, 300,000 Xia cavalry entered the steppe.

On the south side of the road are Hu Bingchang, Yan Xiaowu, Pei Jie and Miao Jun, who are nearly 200,000 people, while on the north side are the army of Han Zigao and Li Hongyu, who led the army to attack the depths of the grassland after defeating Datou in Yangwu City.

Although it seems that there are 200,000 cavalry of the Xia army on the south road, and there are only 100,000 cavalry on the north road, Han Zigao and Li Hongyu on the north road are only 100,000 people, but the Xia army on the south road is mainly attacking the territory of the Khitan and Xi people, and these places are still far away from the Turkic tents, and there is a desert in the middle, so Anluo is not too worried.

Although the number of Han Zigao's department on the north road is small, most of the grassland tribes here are the weaker Tiele tribes, and the Guli cadres and the Ximurwei department have secret connections with the Xia army before.

And the Ximurwei Department simply raised 30,000 cavalry and followed the Xia army to attack the Tiele and Turks further south, and the Xia army could attack all the way along the Gonglushui to a place very close to the Turkic tent, so that the threat to the Turks would be greater.

In the face of the large-scale attack of the Xia army, the Turks, who were already panicked, unexpectedly gathered their men and horses to come to the Anluo tent to listen to the order, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Xia people was too strong, and they could only have the confidence to fight with the Xia army after concentrating their forces.
