The night was getting dark.

On the vast and flat grasslands on the west bank of Liaoshui, gusts of cold winds whistled all the way from the North Sea into the sea, and in this grassland, it is the leeward behind some mounds and slopes that can avoid the blowing of these cold winds.

The large camp of the Turkic army was set up in a hollow that could shelter from the wind, about 20 miles away from the large camp where Yang Jun led more than 100,000 cavalry of the Sui army.

Originally, the camps of the Sui army and the Turkic army were next to each other at first, but because of the long-term fighting between the Sui Empire and the Turks in the past few decades, the soldiers between the two sides had deep contradictions, and the Turks felt that the Sui soldiers were extremely cowardly, and the Sui army regarded the Turks as savages.

Therefore, in this case, the contact between the two sides was by no means friendly, and after a number of large-scale brawls broke out and even the death of people, Yang Jun and Dali Yehu argued, and finally set up camp with the Turkic army moving twenty miles east.

Although the climate in Liaodong is harsh, the Turkic warriors who have long been accustomed to the wind and snow in Mobei are not afraid of this biting cold wind, just half a year ago they were still living around the even colder Turkic tent, although the coast of Liaoshui is cold, it is not as cold as the severe cold of Mobei.

The weather was cold, but the mood of the Turkic soldiers was happy at this time, on the one hand, the cavalry of the Xia army had not launched a large-scale attack for three or four consecutive days, which made everyone much easier, and on the other hand, it was heard that the king of Jin in Liaodong commanded millions of Sui troops had broken through the defense line in Liaodong.

If it is really as the Sui army said, although these people are Turks, they can also rely on the identity of the Great Sui allies to plunder the Xia Kingdom, and it can be regarded as a stain.

The wealth of the Xia kingdom is well known, and even the most obscure Turks now consider the Xia kingdom to be far richer than the Sui Empire.

After many defeats, the Turks had already lost some of their belongings, so it was of course a good thing to be able to loot behind the Sui army.

In addition, what made them so happy was that the Sui army, twenty miles away this morning, suddenly brought countless fine wines to themselves, and it was also the most popular sugar cane wine of the Xia Kingdom among the Turks.

This time, the Sui army not only sent tens of thousands of fine wines, but also sent a large amount of grain and sheep, which made the Turkic men who wanted to come to drink like their lives happy, and also made them a lot more pleasing to the Sui army, which had never been eye-catching.

Wine paired with barbecue is of course the favorite of the Turkic warriors, even if the weather in western Liaoning is colder after dark, but these Turkic soldiers are still drinking happily, and drinking and eating meat in large chunks is not only the patent of Shandong heroes.

Piles of bonfires burned, a fat sheep was washed and peeled and roasted on the fire, the cold wind blew through the big drops of grease dripping on the charcoal fire, with the burst of flames erupted a crackling sound, the aroma of roast mutton escaping was particularly attractive.

Next to one of the huge fires, there were even several sturdy Turkic warriors who were peeling open the corpses of wolves with daggers, and the wolf meat was thrown into several huge soup pots to boil, and there were even soldiers who didn't know where to find some herbs and threw them in.

These wild wolves were hunted by the scouts of the Turkic army to open meat after the sentry, and the dry wolf meat in this cold winter is a great supplement.

At this meeting, almost all the Turkic soldiers drank a little too much, even the Turkic soldiers who were originally on duty according to the regulations also quietly drank a lot of wine, after all, everyone worked hard to escape for more than half a year, and finally had a chance to rest, since the Xia army had not attacked for many days, it was not bad for this meeting.

Some of the Turkic soldiers, perhaps too drunk, actually started wrestling in the open space between the campfires, and the surrounding area was suddenly crowded with Turks watching the excitement.

In the middle of the camp, in a huge luxurious leather tent inlaid with gold ornaments, Daliyehu, as the commander of the Turkic army, frowned, obviously in a very bad mood, and even the tender lamb roasted for several months in front of him made him taste a little like the same wax, and the Xia wine, which was quite popular with the Turkic nobles, was not moved at all.

As the most capable son of Dulan Khan, Daliyehu was only about twenty-four or five years old, and after the Turks suffered heavy blows from the Xia State one after another, Dulan Khan could only hand over the last power in his hand to his son, and he didn't dare to believe any other Turkic general.

But such a heavy responsibility also made Daliye feel a lot of pressure.

In today's form, Dali Ye Hu is very worried, and the Xia State Han Zigao Department faced by himself and Yang Jun has been inexplicably hovering on the north bank of the weak falling water, and has not moved south to support the Liaodong battlefield in a big way.

When the Sui army launched an offensive against Liaodong City before, Han Zigao had desperately attacked south, but after attacking for a few days, he returned to his previous appearance again.

Today, Yang Jun suddenly sent a large number of wine, grain, and sheep there, ostensibly as a reward for letting him quickly go south to assist in the attack on Liaodong, but Dali Yehu felt very strange from the hasty actions of these Sui troops, and these Sui troops did not seem to be happy to break through Liaodong, but rather had some hasty steps.

"Ashina Hong Guduo!"

With the call of Dali Ye Hu, a personal guard suddenly walked in from outside the big tent, he knelt down on one knee and saluted Dali Ye Hu: "Dear Lord Ye Hu, please command!" ”

"Today, the Sui army said that they had won a great victory, and invited us to join them in attacking Liaodong tomorrow, but my heart is so uneasy!"

Daliye walked back and forth restlessly in the big tent, and he said to the guards in front of him: "I always feel that something seems wrong with the Sui army, and I want others to take a look outside the Sui army camp but I am not at ease, so I can only rely on you to find out if there is anything wrong!" ”

"It will be as you wish!" Ashina Hong Guduo immediately took a few of Dali Yehu's henchmen and guards, took advantage of the chaos and noise in the camp in the dark night to sneak out of the camp and went straight to the Sui army camp twenty miles away.

Looking at the Turkic soldiers who were still drinking happily in the camp, Daliye frowned, for more than ten years, when the Turks were at a disadvantage in the competition with the Xia State on the steppe, the Turkic tribes were dissatisfied with their father, and since his father Khan left hundreds of thousands of people last year and fled without even daring to fight with the Xia army, his prestige has fallen to a low point.

Although he led a hundred thousand Turkic troops to fight with the Xia army at that time, because of the neat defeat, he could not convince more Turks.

Therefore, in the months when he led his troops into the territory of the Sui Empire and cooperated with the Sui army to launch an attack on the Xia State, the Sui Empire has been unscrupulously wooing all the Turkic generals, and many Turkic leaders have defected to the Sui Empire openly and secretly.

Until now, Daliye Hu himself didn't know how many Turkic generals in the entire camp were already from the Sui Empire, and the only thing he could trust now was to take hundreds of personal guards himself.

As time passed, Daliyehu felt for the first time that time had passed, and the Turkic soldiers in the camp gradually lost their lives, and one by one they entered their tents and fell asleep after they had eaten and drunk.

Daliye Hu stood at the door of the tent and waited quietly.

Seeing that the time was about to enter the sub, he heard a rustling of footsteps, and he hurriedly walked out to see that it was Ashina Hong Guduo who had returned.

"Lord Ye Hu, the situation is not good!"

Without waiting for Dali Yehu to speak, Ashina Hong Guduo whispered to him with a bad face, "Let's go to the Sui army camp, from a distance, the camp is still quite normal, and the soldiers on patrol and the drums and trumpets are sounding normally, but I didn't find out that something was wrong until I watched it for a long time!" The main force of the Sui army has disappeared! ”

"They're gone? Did they go south ahead of schedule? Daliye Hu thought about it and immediately understood what was going on, "It's not good, it must be the defeat of the Sui army in Liaodong, and they are going to flee in advance!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Ashina Hong Guduo bowed his head and said respectfully, "Later, we searched for a long time, and saw at least more than 100,000 traces left by the retreat of the Sui cavalry on the west side of the camp, although they tried to clean it up with horses pulling branches, but it has not snowed recently, and the traces of their journey to the northwest are obvious!" ”

"Oops, the Sui army is really defeated, this is to treat us as a backrest for the dead ghosts!"

Dali Yehu finally understood where his uneasiness came from, and he immediately ordered: "Hurry up and call the warriors, we have to leave now, and when the morning comes, the Xia army may arrive!" ”

What made Daliye Hu helpless was that the Turkic soldiers hadn't drunk for a long time, and although they weren't all drunk this time, nearly half of the soldiers were difficult to wake up.

The Turkic soldiers, who suddenly woke up from their sleep, were first furious, and then after learning that the Sui army had fled, and they had to face the hundreds of thousands of Xia troops who might arrive at any time alone, they were immediately shocked, obviously after more than twenty years of confrontation with the Xia State, the Turks had lost their confidence.

An hour before dawn, the Turkic army, which was finally ready, began to flee westward while it was still dark, and by the time dawn they had fled a hundred miles away, and finally relaxed their panicked mood a little.

"Rest for a quarter of an hour and hurry up and feed the horses! We first went to Liucheng County to get a batch of grain from there, and then continued to retreat west! "Until this time, the Turks did not know that Zhuo County, Beiping County, Yuyang County and other places had been captured by the Xia army.

"Lord Hago! This Liucheng County is the county seat of the Sui Empire, what if we ask for grain here to provoke the anger of the Great Sui Emperor? Ashina Hongguduo asked, at this time, the Turks were facing the weakness of the Sui Empire, and they had begun to be very skeptical of these things.

"Hmph, when we return to Juyanhai, we will immediately take the hundreds of thousands of troops there to the west, even the Datou Khan will not dare to use troops against us easily, so whether it is to the land in the river or to move further west, it is better than facing the Xia army, and at that time, the Great Sui Emperor is also busy resisting the Xia army, how can he have the energy to take care of us?"

Because of the betrayal by the Sui army this time, the generals who originally advocated defecting to the Xia army among the Turks were also angry this time, after all, whoever was betrayed would hate that person to the core.

"Hey, is this a meal? Can you bring us along for a meal? ”

While Dali Yehu and the others were secretly discussing their strategy, suddenly a strange Turkic voice reached their ears far away.
