Tiele nine surnames? Why not fight?

Is Tiele Jiu a Turkic person? If memory serves, they are one of the more powerful Turkic tribes, right? Since we are Turkic, why are we here? Bullying the soft and afraid of the hard? Kill the old and weak?

What if we bypass the tribe of 5,000 people, and when we pass, they chase after us and take our back path?

Xiao Rui asked three times in a row, making the deputy general bow his head in shame.

Su Lie opened his mouth and said: "Changshi, as far as the last general knows, the Turks are not monolithic, and the surname Tiele Jiu is located in the north of the grassland, and he is not loyal to Jieli, so he can only be regarded as forced to submit to Jieli. Can we try to co-opt them and let them fight among themselves? If you rashly attack and kill the nine surnames of Tiele, it is tantamount to making a feud with them. Instead, it will provoke them to unite within the grassland. If the Turks are too united, it will not be good for my Datang! ”

Qin Huaidao and the others nodded in agreement: "Yes, Brother Xiao, think twice." ”

Think? What to think twice? Non-our people will have different hearts, I'm afraid you don't understand it, right?

Xiao Rui smiled slightly, did not explain, but asked a question: "Back then, the champion Hou Huo went to the sick, chased the death and chased the north, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty almost wiped out the Huns. It stands to reason that the grassland is now the backyard of our Central Plains, but why not? Rather, it is the world of the Turks? Where did the Turks come from? The Huns are gone, who is on the steppe? ”

"The Han Dynasty was the Xiongnu, and the Western Jin Dynasty was the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qian, Qiang, and Di of the Five Hu Chaohua? And then what? And now it's Turkic again? ”

"Can anyone explain why there are so many alien races on the grasslands, like weeds, one stubble after another? Isn't it because we haven't completely conquered the steppe in the Central Plains? ”

"Or is it that the wildfires are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows again?"

"Or maybe the nomadic barbarians of the steppes are so tenacious that they can't be destroyed?"

This question is a novel topic for a group of second generations, and I have never thought about it before.

Now when asked, everyone is surprised, but when you think about it, why is it?

Wei Chi Baoqing didn't like to use his brain, so he begged: "Brother Xiao, you must know the answer, don't be greedy for us, tell everyone quickly." ”

Xiao Rui knocked this goods with his own hands, "Think about it slowly, just think about it before returning to Chang'an." Now, follow me to kill the enemy! I want to make the Datang Iron Armor an eternal nightmare in the hearts of the grassland barbarians! ”

Drawing the sword at his waist, Xiao Rui took the lead, and the first horse rushed out.

Let the Datang Iron Armor become an eternal nightmare in the hearts of the grassland barbarians!

This sentence, like a spark, instantly ignited the blood in the hearts of this bloodthirsty cavalry, at this moment, they are no longer the fugitive cavalry who are trying to relieve the siege of Youzhou, but an indestructible blade, Xiao Rui's words are the goal in everyone's hearts.

The nine surnames of Tiele include: Hui, Xueyantuo, Fugu, Tongluo, Bayegu, Sijie, Qibi, Hun, Ayu and other nine major tribes, as well as a coalition of small tribes with other surnames. Among them, Hui and Xue Yantuo are the most powerful.

Hui is located in the northernmost place, because the strongest child is the first of the nine surnames of Tiele. This place is also the farthest away from the royal court of the Turkic Jieli, so the Jieli whip is beyond the reach, and can only order an alliance, but cannot completely control it.

Hui Nan faced Xue Yantuo, and other tribes were scattered, among which Jieli's vanguard general Qibi He Li was from the Qibi family surnamed Tiele Jiu.

At this time, the medium-sized tribe of 5,000 people led by Xiao Rui and others to attack was the most marginal branch of Xue Yantuo, and because Jieli attacked Youzhou, Xiao Rui was affected by Chiyu.

Three thousand against five thousand, although it is a surprise attack, it is still inferior in numbers. Fortunately, the opponent's equipment was poor, and the 5,000 people were not all young and strong, and the Tang army finally wiped out this steppe tribe at the cost of ten killed and thirty wounded.

Skillfully cleaning the battlefield, burning the corpses of the enemy, bringing the ashes of our dead robes, and simply repairing and replenishing, Xiao Rui led the army back on the road.

Two days later, Xue Yantuo's headquarters received news that a medium-sized tribe of 5,000 people had been slaughtered cleanly, and there were no bones left.

Patriarch Xue Yantuo's first reaction was to do it. He has the final say on the grassland, who dares to come to the grassland to spread wild? Has Jieli finally done something to us?

No, this matter can't be endured, so he immediately notified the other Tiele Nine Surname Alliance, Jieli is coming, and he can't let my Xue Yantuo clan carry it. Aren't you the head of Tieler? You've got to call the shots for us.

At the alliance meeting, Hui said that he wanted to confirm with Jieli, after all, our Tiele nine surnames are dependent on the Turks, and they are also Turkic clansmen, how can you, as our common Khan, kill the clansmen indiscriminately?

Before the people they sent to the royal court arrived, they received an envoy sent by Jieli: a 3,000-strong elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty broke into the grassland, causing chaos in the grassland, killing people when they saw them, and ordering all tribes on the grassland to start chasing and intercepting this Tang army from now on, and it is bound to annihilate it in the grassland.

Yes, there is no need to appeal to the royal court, the matter has been investigated clearly, and it is an outsider.

The rare unity of the nine surnames of Tiele shouted to avenge the destroyed tribe, so an army of 50,000 Tiele chased behind Xiao Rui and others two days apart.

Does Xiao Rui know? I don't know, I don't bother to know, he's busy. Perhaps, from the beginning of the attack on the Xue Yantuo tribe, he expected the pursuers behind him, who knows.

Now he is in new trouble, an army of 70,000 people, actually camped in front of him?

What's going on? Our attack on the Turkic royal court leaked out? But no, we didn't stop all the way to the west, and even the heralds of Jieli might not be able to reach the royal court before us. There is a mole? It's not right, I made a temporary decision and just left......

What is the situation with the 70,000 troops in front of you?

It's over, three thousand against seventy thousand? It's not the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and the young and strong must have at least 50,000, how to fight? The plan to raid the royal court was put on hold. The 3,000-strong Tang cavalry was not optimistic about this battle.

Su Lie observed carefully, "No, Changshi, if this team is specifically to intercept us, it shouldn't be camped like this." You see them, they are camped in a hazard and disorderly, like the tribes we met along the way, as if they had settled here for a long time. However, apart from the Turkic royal court, where is there such a tribe of 70,000 people? Have we come to the royal court? ”

Xiao Rui looked at the map, no, there are still several days away from the royal court.

"Anyway, prepare for war! General Su is right, they don't seem to be coming at us, it's more like a coincidence. You see, they haven't started to organize their teams until now. Quick, take this opportunity to prepare for the attack, and when they react and pull up the cavalry, we really can't get by. ”

What's the situation on the other side?

It's also Xiao Rui's back, it's really a coincidence.

These 70,000 people were not from Jieli, but the Yi men who had relocated from the Western Turks and defected to Jieli. The Western Turkic Yehu Khan died of illness not long ago, and the Western Turks fell into civil strife, and Yi Nan did not want to die in civil strife, so he led 70,000 tribes to defect to Jieli. Jieli was not worried about this person, so he placed it in his hinterland.

Coincidentally, it was on Xiao Rui's way to Jieli Palace.

Yi Nan is also wronged, we are here to take refuge, we have been camped in the Turkic hinterland for a few months, although we are being monitored, but there are a few quiet days, how can there be a fierce cavalry next to it? Looking at their momentum, it doesn't look like they're coming to visit relatives.

Could it be that Jieli is going to do something to us? I know that this old fox can't be trusted! Quick, beat the drum and gather the troops, and fight with them......

Put together? Strike first! Xiao Rui won't watch you pull up the team, and with an order, three thousand armor soldiers and six thousand war horses rushed to the big tent of the tribe in front of him in an instant.

An hour later, with a loss of 200 people, Xiao Rui and others chiseled through the Yinan tribe, slaughtered more than 10,000 people, leveled the big tent of the Yinan Chinese army, and left.

A day later, Yi Nan gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses and pursued Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui was like stabbing a hornet's nest, he didn't kill the Turkic royal court, and there were already 100,000 pursuers behind him.
