Chapter 456: Turkic Invasion

The Turkic army appeared very suddenly!

The 60,000 troops of the Blue Wolf Army had just conquered the already empty domestic city, and before they had time to carry out a sweep of the Goguryeo army and tribes hiding in the surrounding mountains, the Turkic army brought a total of 100,000 cavalry wrapped in the Khitans, Xi people, and Wuluohou people into the newly established Xuanyu County.

Among the 100,000 troops, the Wuluohou and Xi sent 10,000 cavalry each, the Khitans had to send 20,000 cavalry because they annexed the Didouyu tribe, and the Turks were 60,000 cavalry led by the nephew of the Mupole Khan, Chu Luohou.

At this time, although the Turks had millions of cavalry in the country, since the defeat of the Huns, except for the attack on the Northern Qi, the Turks have rarely used such a large number of cavalry.

Just by looking at the proportion of this Turkic cavalry in the army, we can know how much importance the Turks attach to the situation in Liaodong, but they are still a little late in intervening this time, after all, Goguryeo has already been destroyed for several months.

In fact, at this time, the Turkic Khan was no longer the Wooden Pole Khan, the Khan who led the Turks to the east and west to the heyday had died of illness soon after the last attack on the Northern Qi Dynasty, on the way back to Yudu Jin Mountain, and now the Turkic Khan is the younger brother of the Wooden Pole Khan, Lunbo Khan.

When the envoy sent by Yuan Dazuo arrived at the Turkic tent in Yudujin Mountain (Hangai Mountain Beishan) in Mobei to ask for help, the Turks were paying close attention to the war situation in the Central Plains.

Lunbo Khan has been serving as Turkic Khan for seven or eight years now, and he has not done much for a long time, but because of Lunbo Khan's serious illness, for a while, everyone in the Turkic who has the right to inherit Ye Hu and Qi Jin are ready to move for the position of Khan.

Therefore, even if the Northern Zhou had just conquered the Northern Qi on the battlefield of the Central Plains at this time and had not completely unified the Central Plains, because of these problems within the Turks, the Turks were unable to intervene in the Central Plains war, and the line of the Great Wall close to the Turks was also fully occupied by the Northern Zhou Dynasty as soon as the Northern Qi was destroyed, and some small Turkic tribes who were willing to take advantage could only be helpless.

At this moment, suddenly the Turks learned from the envoys sent by Yuan Dazuo that the once powerful Goguryeo was unexpectedly attacked and could not resist it, and even asked the Turks for help at the cost of ceding the counties in Liaodong, which made them think that they had heard it wrong.

However, after understanding a certain situation, the seriously ill Lunbo Khan was not enthusiastic about interfering in the Liaodong war, he had controlled the Turks for seven or eight years, and now he was suddenly seriously ill in winter, and it was unknown whether he could survive until next spring, and the Turkic territory was vast enough, and he no longer wanted to expand his territory.

And the other Ye Hu and Tong Jin, who have a lot of military power, are more excited, but now that Lunbo Khan is seriously ill and is about to die, if Lunbo Khan suddenly dies of illness after he sends out his troops, then wouldn't he lose the opportunity to snatch the throne of the Turkic Khan?

After considering this, Ye Hu and Qi Jin in the Turkic Tooth Tent were unwilling to lead the army to the battle, which made the envoy sent by Yuan Dazuo anxious, and he continued to take out a large amount of property to lobby the nobles in the Turkic Tooth Tent.

At first, everyone accepted the interview with the troops as a gift, all of them looked like they were looking at jokes, but in the end, he really said that a noble person promised to send troops, and this person was the second son of the brother of the wooden pole Khan, Yixiji Khan, - Chu Luohou.

In the past, the territory of the Turks stopped at the Daxing'an Mountains in the west of the Khitan, and there were still territories of Khitan, Kumoxi, and Didouyu between them and Liaodong, but this does not mean that the Turks have no desire for the land of Liaodong, but because Goguryeo was one of the four major military powers, and the Turks were still very jealous of them.

In order not to have any contradictions with Goguryeo, the Turks kept the subjugated Khitans as a buffer zone, and although Liaodong was rich, compared with the Central Plains, which was richer in the south, as well as the Western Regions and the Hezhong region, it was far less attractive to the Turks than the wealth of these places.

The opulence of Liaodong did not attract other Turkic chieftains, but it was very attractive to the Marquis of Chuluo.

After the death of the Khan, the uncle of the Marquis of Chuluo, the Khan of Muzhu, did not treat him and his brother Zhaotu badly, and appointed them as the chief officials of the Turks, and the Marquis of Chuluo held the position of Turkic Turkish, mainly responsible for the management of the tribes in the southeastern Turks.

Not only did there be hundreds of thousands of Turkic tribes under Chu Luohou, occupying extremely fertile and vast grasslands, but he even managed the small tribes of Khitan, Kumoxi, and Didou Yu who were subordinate to the Turks.

But Chu Luohou was still unwilling, after all, his own father was also a Turkic khan, why couldn't he inherit the position of this khan? However, Chu Luohou knew that his strength was still very weak, and if he rashly participated in it at this time, he would inevitably suffer a greater blow.

At this time, the envoy of Yuan Dazuo lobbied around, and after thinking about it carefully, he finally got moved.

The territory is closer to Liaodong, of course, Luo Hou knows how suitable for grazing this land in Liaodong is, and there are many big rivers here, as well as fertile black soil, although grazing war horses may not be as good as the prairie, but it is more suitable for raising cattle and sheep. Qi Yan reads

Once the Marquis of Chu Luo is included in this land under his command, then the Marquis of Chu Luo will have endless cattle and sheep in the future, and this place is also close to Goguryeo, so he will definitely be able to get more wealth in the future.

Although Chu Luohou also heard that Goguryeo could not resist the news of its imminent destruction under the attack of the Xia Kingdom, Chu Luohou was a little unimpressed, the small country that attacked Goguryeo had only been established for more than ten years, and it was still a small country of the Han people, so what combat power could it have?

It's not that the Marquis of Chu Luo looks down on the Han people, but that the Northern and Southern Dynasties have had the military advantage of the Northern Dynasties for hundreds of years, especially in the past few decades, the two countries established by the Xianbei people of the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi have pressed the Han countries of the Southern Dynasties to fight, and they almost destroyed the Southern Liang.

If it weren't for a Chen Baxian who defeated several attacks of the Northern Qi Dynasty, otherwise the Southern Dynasty would have been divided between the two Northern Dynasties, and the two Northern Dynasties, which were pressed by the Han regime of the Southern Dynasty, would have paid tribute to the Turks.

As for the fact that Goguryeo, which was so powerful at the beginning, was about to be destroyed by the Xia Kingdom, Chu Luohou only felt that it should be that Goguryeo had been overestimated in the past, and after considering all aspects, Chu Luohou finally made up his mind to include Liaodong in his territory.

It is said that after making up his mind, Chu Luohou should send troops to Liaodong as soon as possible, but at this time, it is very inconvenient for the army to fight in winter, and Goguryeo is also a military power, so in the opinion of Chu Luohou, it can at least hold out for a few months!

In this way, let Goguryeo and Xia have a big war first, let them kill each other, and wait until the strength of both sides is greatly damaged, and then the Turks suddenly intervene, so it will be easier to occupy all parts of Liaodong, so he has been grinding until the end of February in the spring of the twentieth year of the Xia calendar.

After all, sending troops is not a simple matter, Chu Luohou has to mobilize his own army on the one hand, and explain the situation to Lunbo Khan on the other, after all, at this time Lunbo Khan is still the Turkic co-master, and Chu Luohou still has to pay attention to these aspects.

Hearing that the Marquis of Chu Luo was going to send troops to Liaodong, Lunbo Khan only nodded in agreement and didn't say anything, in his opinion, the Turkic strength was strong, no matter how it was said, it could be taken advantage, and the other Ye Hu and Tong Jin were happy that they had one less competitor, so they gave away a batch of materials.

Of course, Chu Luohou laughed at the gifts of these brothers and uncles, and then he ordered the Khitan, Kumoxi, Wuluohou and other tribes to send cavalry to obey their own orders, and finally put together an army of 100,000.

In this way, after waiting for Luo Hou to make all preparations and lead the army to Liaodong, he learned that the Liaodong War, which he thought was still a big war, had already ended, and the Goguryeo, which used to be famous in Liaodong and Donghai, had already been completely destroyed around the New Year, and they came nearly three months late.

When Luo Hou knew that Goguryeo had perished, and the Xia State had occupied all the Goguryeo cities in Liaodong, he was immediately furious, and he sent troops with great fanfare this time, and if there were no results, then don't mix up in the Turkic world in the future.

Under the leadership of Chu Luohou, 100,000 Turkic and allied troops quickly crossed the boundary of Baicheng and came to Fuyu City in Xuanqian County.

Fortunately, because the war in Liaodong had stopped, Hu Bingchang led his 45,000 cavalry to stay in Xuanqi County to approach the Khitan boundary, after all, only Xuanqian County and Khitan were blocked by no big rivers and mountains, and the Khitans with more than 30,000 cavalry could easily enter the hinterland of Xia from here to plunder.

Although Hu Bingchang was stationed here before, he was a little unimpressed by Wang Ze's worries, after all, the Khitans had already fled to the upper reaches of the Liao River for one or two hundred miles during the war between the Xia State and Goguryeo, and with the tens of millions of citizens and hundreds of thousands of troops in the Xia State today, how could the Khitans dare to come and plunder.

But Hu Bingchang never thought that he had just been stationed here, not only the Khitan cavalry came, but also with the 60,000 Turkic army, and there were also 20,000 cavalry from Wuluohou and Kumoxi.

In the face of the opponent's fierce army of 100,000, although Hu Bingchang only had 45,000 cavalry in his hands, in order to buy time for the people of Xia behind him, he still sent a message to the rear while resisting the attack of the Turkic coalition army.

Most of the Xia people in Xuanyu County are newly relocated herdsmen in the autumn and winter of last year, and because the time is too short, there are only 50,000 or 60,000 herdsmen living in Xuanyu County, which is close to Sumoshui and Fuyu City, and it is still far from the border, so they can easily migrate as long as they drive livestock.

When Hu Bingchang resisted, tens of thousands of herdsmen of the Xia Kingdom drove large herds of cattle and sheep, and under the guidance of the Xia army, they migrated to the other side of Sumoshui, Liaodong County and other places, and Xu Ning, who was stationed in Liaodong County, also urgently sent Yu Feng's troops to Fuyu City.

Previously, the National Guard troops stationed in Buyeo City were transferred from Sanjiang County, Zhenhai County, and Jiangkou County, but because some of them were transferred away after the war, there are only more than 10,000 people in the city at present, and Yu Feng led the entry of 15,000 people to strengthen the defense of Buyeo City.

While Fuyu City was making all defensive preparations, Hu Bingchang felt that he was becoming more and more unable to resist
