If Gao Cheng has a high prestige because he followed his father Gao Huan to start a business since he was a child, and his meritorious achievements are high, then Anapu is obviously more important to Rouran than Gao Cheng is to Northern Qi.

When Anapu reascended the throne of Khan, Rouran had reached the time of life and death.

In 520 A.D., the Khan Chounu was defeated by Gaoche and killed by internal strife, and his brother Anapu, who was supported by his mother, was expelled by his brother Shifa in the same year and fled to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Before Shefa had a chance to breathe, the Brahmins, the son of Doulun Khan, raised troops to compete with Shefa for the throne of Khan, and Shefa's troops were defeated and fled to the country of Douyu north of Kumoxi and Khitan, where he was killed and passed on to the royal court.

The large-scale struggle within Rouran for the throne of Khan ended in the victory of the Brahmins.

However, the good times did not last long, and the following year, in July 521, the Brahmin was attacked by the army of Gaocha, and even had to give up the royal court and ancestral land, and chose to defect to the Northern Wei Dynasty like Anapu.

Seeing that Gao Che was about to seize the hegemony of the grassland, the Northern Wei Dynasty court even put down a century-old feud, tightened its belt to aid Rouran, and supported Anapu to take the throne to balance Gao Che.

In 523, there was a great drought in northern Xinjiang, and the six towns suffered from famine with Rouran, and the Northern Wei court ignored the military and civilians of the six towns and sent Yuanfu to help Rouran.

In connection with the subsequent Anapu raiding of northern Xinjiang as one of the direct causes of the Six Towns Uprising, this series of practices of the Northern Wei Dynasty could not help but make Louis XVI, who sold his head to aid the United States, call him an expert.

Anapuen's revenge is shameless, but it is undeniable that it was by helping the Northern Wei Dynasty quell the Six Towns Uprising and plundering a large number of materials that Rouran was able to quickly recover his strength.

Whatever the external reason, Anapu led the declining Rouran to revival, eventually destroying the enemy Gaoche Kingdom and regaining the title of the overlord of the grasslands, and Anapu's authority among the Rouran tribe was unquestionable.

This march was not without the advice of his cronies, such as his uncle Uncle Deng, nephew Tie Fa and others have expressed their worries explicitly or implicitly, after all, the speed of Rouran's march is really too fast.

However, Anapu trusted the judgment of his eldest son, An Luochen, and believed that the main Turkic forces were all near the royal court, and at this time, he was already anxious to rescue the royal court, so how could he have the patience to let the sentinel carefully survey the road.

If you really want to walk over unhurriedly like that, I am afraid that the Turks will already break through the royal court and plunder the women and children, and then Napu will face a barren royal court, not to mention revenge, and even filling the stomach will be a problem, and most of the livestock with the army will have been consumed, and the rest will not be able to eat for long.

I don't think the Turks would be kind enough to leave him grain and livestock for military needs.

Many people who seem to be iron-headed babies in the middle of the ambush, behind them, the middle ambush also has their own deep-seated considerations, but the misjudgment of some key nodes makes them bury the overall situation.

Just like An Luochen's misjudgment, Anapu was indomitable: since the main Turkic force has appeared, even if there is an ambush, it is a small group of people, they really dare to jump out, with 100,000 horses under their command, they can take it at will, swallow it in one bite, that's it, there is still a way to grope forward.

Anapu was convinced of his son An Luochen, and Ashina Tumen had no doubt that Ashina Qijin would be able to complete the task he had assigned, and the ambush location he chose was located in the north of Huaihuang Town, three days away from Huaihuang Town, and it was the shortest route from Huaihuang to the royal court.

The reason why this place was chosen was precisely because it was far away from the royal court, and the Rouran army was eager to return to help, so it would be unprepared, and after misjudging the whereabouts of the main Turkic forces, they would slow down and be vigilant when they were close to the royal court.

At the same time, after three days of rapid marching, the Rouran soldiers must be tired, the Turks are ready to work, prepared and unprepared, in the case of the same number of people, Ashina Tumen believes that the heroic Turkic Erlang Huaihuang in the north completely buried Rouran.

On the 18th day of the fifth month of the third year of Zhaode (550), at noon, the army of Rouran came even earlier than Ashina Tumen expected, which also proved that they walked more quickly on the way and had a shorter rest time.

Obviously, Anapu had made up his mind to rush to the first half of the journey, saving time for a careful march in the second half of the journey, but the Rouran people's march to rescue the royal court this time was destined not to have the second half.

Ashina Tumen saw more than ten Rouran sentinels, and couldn't help but feel nervous, but these people only probed a little, took a formality, and hurried by.

Time waits for no one, the situation in the royal court is urgent, and the sentry riders are not allowed to check carefully along the way, and the superstition of Anapu's authority is also one of the reasons, that is the master of Zhongxing who led them to destroy the enemy, how could his judgment be wrong.

The trend of blind worship has not been broken even in modern society, and has even intensified, let alone the nomads in the middle of the sixth century AD.

The lack of warning from the sentry made Anapu unsuspecting himself into an ambush.

Ashina Tumen lay on the mountain and looked at the Rouran army pouring in, a little calculation, no less than 100,000 people, he couldn't see the fatigue on the faces of the Rouran people, but he also knew that the Rouran army set off on the morning of the 16th, and it was only at noon on the 18th that it had completed the journey for a full three days, not only horses, but also people.

Can't wait for all the Rouran soldiers to enter the ambush circle, Ashina Tumen is afraid that it will change later, only to see the sound of the Ming Di, most of the Rouran that has entered the urn has no change color, they are all nomads, at this time everyone knows the meaning of the Ming Di.

Countless arrows on both sides of the mountain were missed and shot at the panicked Rouran people, the arrows reflected the light of noon, and blood flowers bloomed on the bodies of the Rouran soldiers, a knight fell off his horse, some people groaned in pain, and some people were no longer alive.

"Hurry back! Hurry back! ”

Anapu raised his shield and shouted, and before he retreated far, he saw the congestion ahead, and Uncle Deng braved the arrows flying overhead to miss the horse and saw the situation, and replied with a crying voice:

"The rear army led by Tie Fa has been killed and scattered, and the Turks have placed a horse at the entrance to form a defensive formation, and the soldiers cannot rush out."

Seeing that he couldn't retreat and couldn't retreat, he couldn't move his footsteps because of the congestion caused by the retreating front army, and Uncle Deng seemed to be in despair.

The Tiefa headquarters did not enter the ambush, but they were easily killed and scattered, not because they didn't need to die, nor because the strength of the Rouran soldiers was weak, they were really too tired.

Although it is often jokingly called the shame of the overlord of the grassland, the bravery of the soldiers who were able to destroy the Gaoche country deserves to be respected.

Knowing that if he didn't cheer up, the passage between the two mountains would become the graveyard of the Rouran Khanate, so he simply abandoned his shield and raised his saber and shouted:

"Instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, all the soldiers will abandon their horses and climb the mountain with me, and kill the forging slaves!"

In the end, it is a great power, even if they are in danger, the people of Rouran still believe in their khan and are willing to follow him.

Anapu's shout was passed on by the crowd, forty or fifty thousand people turned over and dismounted, drew their swords and killed Anapu to a mountain, the rest of the people were not unwilling to obey Anapu's command, they really couldn't squeeze in, just the forty or fifty thousand people, many of them were still crowded down and arched up.

Under the stimulus of death, the exhausted Rouran people seem to stimulate the potential of the human body, and the more they fight, the more courageous they become, the condescending Turks obviously have the advantage, but they have to fight and retreat, and the mountain bag selected by Anapu is precisely where the Turkic leader Ashina Tumen is located.

Seeing that the Rouran people seemed to be getting more and more courageous, he hurriedly transferred the Turkic warriors who were blocked at the exit in the direction of the royal court to rush to help, but it was still difficult to stop the progress of the Rouran people who were fighting for their lives.

On the other side of the mountain, the Turks charged down, and a large number of Rouran soldiers turned their guns to block the Turks who rushed down the mountain, and as a large number of Rouran people fought bloodily with the Turks on the hillside, the road was no longer blocked, Uncle Deng saw the opportunity and led the remaining more than 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command to kill at the exit in the direction of the royal court.

Since the defense force had already been mobilized by Ashina Tumen, Uncle Deng easily rushed out of the ambush circle, and he hurriedly ordered his cronies to go back to report the news, and he personally led his troops to protect the exit.

However, when Uncle Deng's cronies returned to the mountain road, he saw the corpses all over the mountain, and many Turks captured prisoners in the mountain road.

So he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly reported to Uncle Deng and fled with him.

On the top of the mountain, the Turks were besieged, and in the encirclement, thousands of Rouran soldiers were still loyally guarding their khan Anapu even if they were exhausted.

Anapu stood with his knife in his hand, covered in blood, but not mortally wounded, his eyes closed as if he were resting.

Ashina Tumen came out of the crowd and surrendered Anapu, even though he knew that such a practice would provoke a burst of anger from the so-called forging slaves, but he was willing to try, after all, if Anapu surrendered, he would be able to receive the inheritance of the Rouran Khanate more smoothly.

After all, after this war, the 100,000 troops of the most elite royal court of Rouran were destroyed in one fell swoop, and they were no longer able to compete with the Turks.

But Ashina Tumen's persuasion did not get any response from Anapu.

He did not want to wait any longer, and ordered the Turkic warriors to besiege and kill together, and Anapu had fewer and fewer guards around him, but he still kept his eyes closed, and when the last few loyal soldiers were killed, and the Turks rushed to Anapu, they found that the Rouran Khan had already died of exhaustion, standing on the top of a nameless mountain north of Huaihuang.

"Capture the rout, gather supplies."

With that, Ashina Tumen looked back at Anapu who was standing with a knife.

There is no real personal grudge between them, everything is for the rise of the tribe, so that the tribe people have a wider and more abundant pasture, but also let themselves have greater power and wealth, at this moment, the body is dead, the marriage proposal was rejected, humiliated and killed, vowed to crush the bones of Anapu to ashes, and now only need to give a command, you can get what you want.

But Ashina Tumen never opened his mouth, perhaps it was Anapu's heroism that touched him, and finally after a long sigh, Ashina Tumen instructed his cronies:

"It's up to you to bury the head soldier Bean Khan."

The head soldier of the Dou Van Khan is the self-styled honorific title of Anapu, and it is called his honorific title at this time, and it is also the farewell of Ashina Tumen to the former monarch.

In response to the order, the cronies led a few Turkic soldiers, that is, they dug a pit for Anapu on the mountain bag and buried it, and called for a few utensils as burial goods.
