The grasslands in July and August are the most beautiful seasons of the year!

At this time, the prairie is no longer lonely in winter, and the lambs born have grown up a lot, and the sheep gather on the grassland one by one, like white clouds floating on the grassland, and the large herds of cattle and horses are moving slowly under the protection of the herdsmen.

This is the time of year when the grasslands are busy with various livestock production, and although it seems to be a warm summer, it is not far from the days of heavy snowfall, and countless species are gathering strength at this time for the continuation of the race.

At this moment, on the bank of the Trouble River in the northeast of the grassland, a huge cavalry team with no end in sight was constantly advancing, and it was the 100,000 Xia Army cavalry on the North Road led by Han Zigao and Li Hongyu.

After they set out from Yangwu City, they followed the Wanshui all the way into the Difficult Water, and then swept away all the Tiele tribes who dared to resist the Xia army along the way, or other small tribes attached to the Turks, and on the other hand, they went upstream along the Difficult Water, and even aimed directly at the Turkic tent.

To the southeast of the Xia army were more than 30,000 cavalry gathered by the Western Murwei people, who also took the opportunity to expel the other Tiele tribes around Hulun Lake and the upper Gonglushui, and added a large area of fertile pasture.

For the soldiers of the Xia Army who went deep into the interior of the steppe for the first time, they were excited at the moment, not to mention that their country had repelled the Turkic army, and even wiped out hundreds of thousands of strong Turkic troops one after another, and at this time they even entered the land of the Turks.

Although soon after the Turks withdrew, they were ordered to follow General Han Zigao westward into the steppe, but they had no fear in their hearts, anyway, we can defeat the Turks, as for the next combat mission of the army, that is something that General Han has to consider, and he only needs to follow the battle.

The small tribes encountered along the way either surrendered in time, or had been turned into flower and wood fertilizer and buried in the ground, for these still fresh Xia cavalry, whether it was the Tiele people or the Turks, they were all the same, and they would cut a few knives before meeting.

The soldiers didn't think about those things that were too complicated, and the low-level officers were only responsible for maintaining order in the ranks, but the senior generals were a little worried about the army's continuous advance in the direction of the Turkic tent, but they didn't dare to say anything, so they finally turned their eyes to the eldest sister Li Hongyu.

"General Han, are we too reckless!" Li Hongyudai, who was dressed in military uniform, frowned slightly, "Even if the Turks are defeated and lose hundreds of thousands of cavalry, it is still impossible for us to capture the Turkic tent with only 100,000 people?" Is there any arrangement that we haven't told us? ”

Li Hongyu was also very puzzled by the fact that the army was pointing directly at the Turkic tooth tent, although she had too many doubts in her heart, she still trusted Han Zigao in her heart.

Li Hongyu admired the man in front of him who was already in his forties, but was still more beautiful than most women, from the beginning of his ignorance, to the various arrangements in the battle with Datou's department, these months have fully demonstrated Han Zigao's military command level.

Han Zigao also used his ability to show that he was not a male pet who relied on his face to eat, although Han Zigao's record in the first battle of Yangwucheng was not as good as the results achieved in the Liaodong Battlefield and the Sumoshui Battlefield, Han Zigao led a battlefield alone to defeat the Turks.

In the other battlefields, Wang Ze led hundreds of thousands of troops to defeat the Turks there with an absolute advantage, so many people immediately looked at Han Zigao with such an analysis.

Han Zigao, who was riding on a tall horse, was dressed in fish scale armor and covered with a cloak outside, although the prairie in July and August was the best season, but Han Zigao was still blown to the bottom of his complexion and a little rough, which made Li Hongyu feel a little pity in his heart, but Han Zigao was very satisfied in his heart.

Han Zigao had already seen the doubts of the generals, but he would not take the initiative to explain if no one asked, and when he heard Li Hongyu's inquiry, he smiled slightly: "General Li, I just said that I went along the difficult water, but I didn't say that our purpose this time is to go to the Turkic tent!" ”

Hearing Han Zigao's words, Li Hongyu was confused, and her cherry lips opened slightly in surprise and said: "General Han, then we will now go more than a thousand miles southwest along the difficult water, but this is the location of the Turkic tooth tent!" Where to go, where to go? ”

Looking at the puzzled expressions of many high-ranking generals around him, Han Zigao smiled and said, "How could Your Majesty take the enemy lightly because of a big victory? Our main goal this time is to continuously sweep away the Turkic vassal tribes in this area in the northeast! ”

"All we need to do is sweep away all the Tiele and other tribes that depend on the Turks between Hulun (Lake Hulun) and Beihai (Lake Baikal) so that they don't get too close to the Turks! The reason why the previous posture of a large army advancing into the Turkic tent was also to further suppress the prestige of the Turks! ”

After listening to Han Zigao's speech, Li Hongyu and the generals suddenly realized, and had to admit that this move was really powerful, and now Anluo had just inherited the position of the Khan, and in the face of the sweep of the Xia army, he couldn't draw his troops to repel Han Zigao's department.

After all, there are another 200,000 Xia troops led by Hu Bingchang, Yan Xiaowu and others in the Khitan hometown in the southeast, what if Anluo sends the only 200,000 cavalry in his hand to attack Han Zigao, but Hu Bingchang sneaks up on the Turkic tent from behind?

The Tiele people and other tribes in the northeastern part of the steppe are not of the same mind as the Turks, and the strong have always been kings in the steppe, if Anluo is unable to attack Han Zigao this time, it will be impossible for the Turks to mobilize these tribes in the future.

Whether Anluo comes or not, most of the Tiele tribes can see that the strength of the Turks is fading, and the influence of the Turks among the tribes around Beihai will gradually disappear, while the Xia Kingdom can increase its influence here through constant trade and military threats.

To deal with any powerful enemy, you must first pull out his allies, friends, and wings as much as possible, so as to defeat this enemy to the greatest extent.

Although the factor of the woolly bear's self-abandonment of martial arts accounts for a large part, the success of a series of previous moves such as the drastic changes in Eastern Europe has to be said to be the success of the strategy of the bald eagle.

After the previous actions, with the assistance of the Western Chamber Wei Department, Han Zigao had completely defeated the Servant Bone Division, and there was no longer a Turkic die-hard loyalist between Gu Rong and the difficult water, so far Han Zigao's early combat goals were all realized.

So when there was still a distance of 1,200 miles from the Turkic tent, Han Zigao gave an order, and the army suddenly turned around and headed northwest, aiming directly at the Tiele tribes in the northeast.

To be honest, there are really no too powerful tribes around Beihai, especially the northeastern region of Beihai north of the Suolingshui (Selenge River) that Han Zi Gao Bingfeng refers to, and the Guli cadres are even the most powerful tribes in this region.

Although there had been a secret deal between the Guli cadres and the Xia State before, after all, the Guli cadres were still vassals of the Turks, and Han Zigao wanted to force them to stand in line this time, and the competition between the big countries was either friends or enemies, and there was no room for negligence.

The Guli cadres are now only 15,000 cavalry, and in the face of 100,000 Xia cavalry, where can they have the courage to resist, although they are extremely afraid of the Turkic revenge in their hearts, but after thinking about it, they still made a difficult decision, and they will follow the Xia State in the future.

After publicly announcing his defection to the Xia Kingdom, the Guligan chieftains became frightened again, and the prestige of the Turks had lasted for decades, so under their plea, Han Zigao promised to leave 50,000 cavalry stationed here, and the families of these cavalrymen would also take over in the future.

In fact, this is already a de facto occupation, taking advantage of the short summer, the Xia Kingdom once again showed its strong national strength in front of the Guli cadres, and in just one month, a city that can accommodate tens of thousands of people was built.

The city is located on the shore of the North Sea four or five hundred miles north of Suolingshui, the geographical location is good, although the city wall of this city is only one and a half zhang high, and the width is only one zhang, but this speed still makes the Guli cadres and other surrounding tribes stunned.

Although the newly built city was rough, it was enough to defend against the Turks, and Han Zigao planned to continue to increase the height and width of the city in the future, mainly to prevent the cold during the winter period and to preserve food supplies.

The newly built city was named Shepherd City, not because the soldiers of the Xia Army wanted to herd sheep here for a living, but Han Zigao obtained this name in order to commemorate the original Su Wu Beihai Shepherd, which also made everyone who knew this allusion sigh in their hearts.

However, Muyang City is still too far away from Yangwu City, nearly two or three thousand miles away, so that once something happens here, it is difficult for Yangwu City to support in time, even if there are 50,000 Xia cavalry stationed here, but once the Turks come, it will be difficult to resist.

So after thinking about it again, Han Zigao decided to build a strong city in the upper reaches of the difficult water between Shepherd City and Xuanwei City, which was named Xuanwei City, which means to promote the might of the Han Dynasty and the mighty Son of Heaven, and also has the meaning of deterring the Turks and Tiele people.

In fact, the location of this city is the Chita of the Da Mao family in later generations, and even the Da Mao nation did not exist at this time, so no one would come to compete with the Xia State for the right to belong to the territory.

Of course, there is no fear that someone will come to compete with Xia Guo, Wang Ze will let him fully appreciate the power of Matthew's gospel! What is already will be given to him more, and what is not will be deprived of what he has so that the many may have more!

The construction of the two cities of Shepherd City and Xuanwei City could not guarantee the complete control of this vast land by the Xia State, but after the establishment of these two cities, at least the prestige of the Xia State here has surpassed that of the Turks, which means that the Xia State has successfully advanced the battlefield to the land that originally belonged to the Turks.

After learning that Han Zigao not only turned to Beihai with a false shot, but even built two cities one after another, An Luo's face suddenly became extremely ugly at this moment.
