Ever since the Western Turkic army crossed the Jinshan (Altai Mountains) and defeated hundreds of thousands of Xia cavalry one after another, Datou Khan had always felt that his decision to join forces with the Sui Empire to attack the Xia State was too correct, especially when the Turkic coalition army recaptured the Turkic tent lost by Dulan Khan.

Although Datou Khan is now sixty or seventy years old and can no longer lead his army to fight in person, since he is still the Khan of the Western Turks, and the commander of the army is his own son Chuluo, then this honor should naturally belong to himself.

In Datou Khan's view, since Dulan Khan lost the Turkic tent, which symbolized the glory of the Turks, under the offensive of the Xia army, and the army he sent to recapture it, this must mean that only he is the Great Khan of all Turks in the true sense of the word in the future.

It seems that all the peoples who have had a glorious history attach great importance to the name of orthodoxy, even the Turkic people in the steppe, who should have been accustomed to the law of the jungle, and an orthodox name of the Turkic Khan is exactly what the Datou Khan longs for.

After the news came that Chuluo led a large army to seize the Turkic tent, Datou Khan began to plan whether to move his royal tent there, although the Turks rose at the southern foot of Jinshan, but the most glorious period of the Turks was after defeating Rouran and occupying Mobei.

At this time, Datou Khan still hesitated in his heart, although the Turkic coalition army has recaptured the Turkic tent, but the Xia army is still fighting with the Turkic army on the steppe, and the overall strength of the Xia State is far greater than that of the Western Turks, at this time it is very dangerous to move back to the Turkic tent.

At this time, Datou Khan was already old, and he no longer had the courage to unite with the Persian Empire to attack the Bosporus region in a fit of anger because the Roman Emperor Tiberius II had taken in the Avars.

He also lost the courage to send large troops to besiege Kerch (near the Crimean Peninsula) and attack the Utger Huns more than ten years ago, even if at this time the Western Regions and the states in the river were extremely deferential to the Western Turks because the Western Turkic coalition forces fought a series of battles and recaptured the Turkic tent, Datou Khan still did not dare to take this risk.

After thinking about it for a long time, Datou Khan finally decided that as long as the Sui army achieved a corresponding victory in the Liaodong battlefield, he must move back to the Turkic tent, only in this way can he occupy more land and collect more slave population in the process of dividing up the fall of the Xia state.

Datou Khan, who made the final decision, was anxiously waiting for the good news from Mobei every day, and he was also always paying attention to the news inside the Great Sui Empire.

The news of the Mobei Turkic army has not yet been transmitted back for the time being, but the information that suddenly came from within the Sui Empire began to make him feel bad.

Although the Sui Empire also tried to conceal the war report from the outside world, the sieve-like secrecy measures soon spread the news of the complete defeat of the Sui army in Liaodong throughout the Sui Empire, and even the Turks in Yilishui soon learned of this series of bad news.

Although Datou Khan is already old, he has decades of experience in commanding troops and campaigns, and he soon realized that the situation in Mobei was wrong, and it was very likely that the successive victories in the previous battles were just a trick of the Xia army, and even the Turkic tent was deliberately thrown to the Turkic army.

Thinking of this, Datou Khan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, the strength of the Western Turks is far inferior to the Dulan Khan, and the strength of the city-states in the Western Regions and Hezhong is also very weak, in order to mobilize the previous army of more than 400,000 people, in fact, nearly half of the young and strong men in each city-state have been transferred.

If all the troops of more than 400,000 people were lost in Mobei, then he would not be able to mobilize many more troops, and now his lair can maintain stability all thanks to the good news of the previous 400,000 troops.

If this army fails, neither the Xia Kingdom in the east nor the Persian Empire in the southwest will easily let go of their fat meat, and even the Khazars, who now occupy the Volga Valley west of the Caspian Sea, will not let go of this good opportunity.

Thinking of this, Datou Khan did not dare to delay, and was ready to immediately send an urgent report to Chu Luo Ye, who was leading the army in Mobei, but Datou Khan was too far away from Liaodong after all, and before he could send an urgent report to Chu Luo Ye, the war in Mobei had already begun.

Datou Yehu's guess is really good, the previous successive victories of the Western Turkic Coalition Army against the Xia Army's cavalry were just the Xia Army's arrogant strategy, the Xia Army is not without the ability to defeat the Western Turkic Coalition Army, but such a hard fight will bring great casualties to the Xia Army!

Therefore, Wang Ze planned to exchange space for time first, and use the steppe to drag the Western Turks, especially the Turkic tooth tent, which is such a large skull, which is an important temptation that the Western Turks can't stop, and the same is true for Luo Yehu.

After completely solving the more than one million Sui troops in Liaodong and the last hundred thousand Turkic cavalry of Dulan Khan, the Xia army began to concentrate its forces against the Western Turkic coalition army.

Not long after the hundreds of thousands of Western Turkic allied troops successfully occupied the Turkic tent, Han Zigao, who pursued the Sui army unsuccessfully, did not continue to delay, he led more than 200,000 cavalry under his command to quickly cross the desert and go north, and after converging Yan Xiaowu, Li Hongyu, and Shi Haiguang, a total of more than 500,000 cavalry launched a thunderous blow to the Western Turkic coalition army.

The combat effectiveness of the Xia army was far greater than that of the Western Turkic coalition army, and now the strength is even higher than them, and although the strength of the Western Turkic coalition army has more than 400,000 people, less than 150,000 of these troops are Turkic soldiers.

Most of the remaining 200,000-odd troops were assembled from more than 30 small city-states and small tribes in the Western Regions and the Hezhong region, so although the strength of this coalition was numerous, the people were not united.

More than 500,000 Xia cavalry and more than 400,000 Western Turkic troops fought a large-scale battle on the banks of the forehead water next to the Turkic tent.

In this battle, Han Zigao personally commanded more than 200,000 Chinese troops to attack from east to west, Shi Haiguang attacked from the north to south, and Li Hongyu's department cooperated with Han Zigao and Shi Haiguang's department from the northeast.

In the face of the strong strength advantage of the Xia army, as well as the all-round superiority of war horses, tactics, weapons, and armor, the Turks could only resist reluctantly, and nearly a million armies on both sides gathered on the land within a radius of 100 miles and fought fiercely.

I have to say that the Western Turks performed very well, only 150,000 Western Turkic soldiers as the main pillar resisted with all their might, and the armies of the other Western Regions and the city-states in the river could not play an absolute role at all, that is, they dared to fight with them because of the prestige of the Turks.

However, the Turks had too few troops after all, and when the battle between the two sides was at its fiercest, Yan Xiaowu and Qin Han suddenly led their troops to kill from the northwest and penetrate directly into the flank of the Turkic coalition army.

Previously, Luo Yehu also knew that the Western Regions Alliance Army was a small city-state with weak combat effectiveness, so he personally led 100,000 Turkic main cavalry and 100,000 people from the alliance army of each city-state in the river to preside over the battle of the Chinese army, and arranged the Western Regions Alliance Army on the left flank of the northwest side, and the Hezhong Allied Army on the right flank.

I never thought that the Xia army still had more than 100,000 extra cavalry, and at this time, it was too late for Luo Yehu to go to support, and he couldn't withstand the powerful offensive of the Xia army, and the coalition forces of the countries in the Western Regions soon collapsed completely.

Immediately after the Hanzhong coalition army saw the rout of the Western Regions coalition army, they also quickly dispersed, and even some of them broke up the Western Turkic army formation.

Seeing this, Han Zigao commanded the Xia army to take advantage of the situation to attack, and in the face of the onslaught of more than 500,000 cavalry, the Western Turkic Chinese army, which was only 200,000 people, finally couldn't hold on and quickly collapsed.

In the past few months, Shi Haiguang, Li Hongyu and Yan Xiaowu have retreated again and again in the face of the Turks, and this time they can finally raise their eyebrows, the Xia army chased the dead and chased north to the Jinshan Mountains, which can be described as millions of corpses and thousands of miles of blood, and the more than 400,000 allied troops of the Western Turks only fled less than 100,000 people, and the remaining 300,000 people were all annihilated by the Xia army.

After eliminating the Western Turkic coalition army, Han Zigao ordered hundreds of thousands of Xia herdsmen who came from around Beihai to organize militia to continue to clean up the remaining foreign tribes in the steppe who were unwilling to submit, and on the other hand, he ordered Yan Xiaowu, Li Hongyu, and Shi Haiguang to cross the Jinshan Mountain and begin to attack the Western Regions and Hezhong countries ruled by the Western Turks.

At this time, Hezhong and the Western Regions were the most empty times, and if the Xia army did not attack in time to seize the fruits of their battles, I am afraid that this fat land would be taken away by others.

After Han Zigao arranged the tasks of other ministries, he himself personally led an army of 200,000 people to suddenly cross the Hanhai Sea and go south, directly smashing Dulan Khan, who was still hiding in Juyanhai and hiding from Dulan Khan, who knew nothing, and annihilated more than 200,000 Turkic tribesmen who were temporarily grazing here in one fell swoop and captured Dulan Khan and the princess of the Sui Dynasty.

After destroying the remnants of Dulan Khan, Han Zi Gaoshun weakly moved south, and at the end of April, he defeated the local Sui army one after another, and successively conquered the most important counties of Dunhuang, Zhangye, and Wuwei in the Hexi Corridor, completely seizing the Hexi Corridor that connected the western land Silk Road.

Since the Sui Empire reconciled with the Western Turks, Longyou has become an important passage of the Silk Road, and it is also a relatively wealthy county in the Sui Empire.

The Xia army suddenly seized the Hexi Corridor from the south of Juyan Sea with lightning speed, which greatly shocked the Sui Empire, and the Sui army in the land of Longyou was mobilized to fight against Yang Wusuo, who attacked there, and had to be urgently mobilized to Jincheng County (Lanzhou).

More than 200,000 Longyou Sui troops confronted the Xia army across the Yellow River, because at this time the weather warmed up and the snow on the Qingtang Plateau began to melt in large quantities, so the Yellow River water soared so that the armies on both sides of the Yellow River could not fight at all, but the Xia army was blocked by the turbulent Yellow River water, which also made the Sui army breathe a sigh of relief.

However, these Sui troops did not expect Han Zigao to be unable to advance eastward, so they sent 100,000 cavalry along the Hexi Corridor to seize the two counties of Jimo and Shanshan in the eastern part of the Western Regions, which originally belonged to the Sui Empire.

At the same time, Yang Wu had also captured Dingxiang County and was heading towards the land of Hetao, and when he captured the land of Hetao and went south along the Yellow River to occupy the Ningxia Plain in later times, he would be able to connect with Han Zigao's department, so that the Xia State suppressed the Sui Empire from the entire north.
