Let's talk about the Turkic country.

Since that day after the rebellion of Ashina Yongyu Lu.

Qimin Khan Ashina Rangan completely seized the power of the country, and slowly began to implement the way of governing the country.

Internally, he learned the system of the Sui Dynasty in the south, reactivated the Tiger Division, the Eagle Division, and the Leopard Division, trained the army, selected talents, and gradually restored the national strength.

Externally, Ashina Dyeing and Dry tightly locked the Northern Liao Kingdom, which had taken advantage of the weakness before.

The Northern Liao State was heavily damaged by the Sui army, and its national strength has never recovered.

Ashina Dyingan saw the opportunity and sent his trusted guard Ashina as the commander to lead the tiger division and the leopard division to the expedition, sweeping the Northern Liao, and forcing them to bow down.

And Ashina was also named a little khan by Ashina because of such a merit, that is, Jieli Khan.

As for the weak tribes such as the Xi and Khitan in the east, and the weak tribes such as Tiele and Xue Yantuo in the west.

Ashina Dyingan also sent his relatives - Ashina Duji and Ashina Sultan to manage separately.

Thereinto.

Ashina Duji was named the Turki Khan by Ashina Rangan, and led the Xi and Khitan tribes to guard the east.

And Ashina Sulp, who commanded Tiele, Xue Yantuo and other nine western divisions, was named Bujia Khan by Ashina, and commanded tens of thousands of iron horsemen, all of whom were the elite of the Eagle Division.

Since then.

The Turkic state was revived again, and the northern frontier was shaken and one side was divided.

But.

The Turks still maintained the necessary respect for the Great Sui, and trade with the Great Sui was also carried out in an orderly manner.

This is also the reason why the brothers Shi Danai and Shi Dayi were able to learn about the state affairs of so many Turkic countries.

Speaking of which.

Xu Maogong pointed to the map on the table, and continued: "When I think of the troubled times in the north and south, the north is dominated by Rouran, and the Turkic Khan Ashina Tumen is strong in his troops and horses, and he works hard to govern the country, and finally settles down Rouran and takes charge of the power in the north...... At that time, the Turkic countries reached Liaodong in the east and the desert in the west, like a huge bowl, shrouded over the head of China in the Central Plains......"

As he spoke, Xu Maogong gently used his hand to draw a large piece of territory—the territory that the Turks had when they were at their strongest.

"And Ashina Dan Gan is quite wise, now that the country has been unified, he will inevitably be ready to restore the glory of his ancestors, if the lord goes north, he can use this matter to lobby the Turkic Khan."

Then, Xu Maogong looked at Wang Ke and said slowly.

"Hmm...... That's a good statement! In the edict, the Son of Heaven also promised to cede the northern part of Tuyuhun to the Turkic administration...... However, if this happens, the Turkic state will be strong again. ”

Wang Ke bowed his head slightly and said.

But.

When he said the back, his tone became a little solemn.

"Therefore, when the lord goes north this time, in addition to the alliance Turks, he must also check the Turkic military, know himself and know the enemy, and win all battles!"

Xu Maogong said with a smile.

"What? The world thinks that this Turk will become our enemy? ”

Wang Ke smiled slightly, and immediately asked Xu Mao for justice.

"It's not that I think so, but it's a matter of the world, and it's been like this since ancient times."

Xu Maogong replied.

"That's it! I made a note of it! ”

Wang Ke bowed his head slightly and said to Xu Maogong.

Subsequently.

He paused, his eyes skimmed over the faces of Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Xu Maogong, and then he said: "This time I went north, Shiji walked with me, Xuancheng and Xuanling handled government affairs at home, don't relax."

"Subordinates obey orders!"

Hearing Wang Ke's words.

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling bowed their hands slightly.

Xu Maogong touched his beard, and a smile appeared on his face.

Stay until the next day.

Wang Ke convened the generals under his command to discuss the matter.

He talked about the mission of going north to the Turkic alliance and looked at the heroes below.

"All the generals are at home, each performing his duties, training soldiers and horses, and pacifying thieves, don't slacken...... Those who went north with me this time, Yuan Tong, Jin Wuzhu, Dai Tianxing, and Wang Tianyou! ”

Glanced at everyone.

Wang Ke still decided to let his subordinates still stay in the Guannai and silently develop their own forces.

And the people who followed him to the north were all the commanders of the guards around him.

Wang Tianyou, Yuan Tong, Jin Wuzhu, and Dai Tianxing all had smiles on their faces when they saw Wang Ke asking them to go north together.

Since then.

The civil and military officials have settled down.

Wang Ke asked Wang Tianyou to order 3,000 iron horsemen to be used at any time, assemble in Youzhou City, and after staying for three days, they went out of the city together and headed north.

……

The vast wind.

Roll anime withered grass.

A few jackdaws.

Shatter the empty sky.

Youzhou City to the north.

Wang Ke rode the four dislike wrapped in black gas, looking at the empty environment around him, he couldn't help but feel emotional.

"These boundaries, though desolate, are the boundary between the alien races in the north and the land of China...... I don't know how many heroic bones are buried on such a land...... It's really admirable! ”

Come to mind.

Wang Ke looked far away,

Ahead, is the ancient Great Wall carved with knives and axes, mottled by time.

"Lord, when you go out of the Great Wall, you are outside the fortress, are you resting here today, or are you going to talk about it?"

At this moment.

Wang Tianyou, who was originally inquiring about the situation in front, came back and asked.

"Let's get out of the plug first!"

Wang Ke waved his hand and said in his mouth.

"Yes!"

When Wang Tianyou heard this, he gave up his hand and left.

Subsequently.

The army moved on.

Not for a while.

The soldiers and horses went out of the Great Wall and into the grassland.

However.

It was late afternoon.

When the soldiers and horses were going around a grassy slope.

All I could hear was the sound of horses' hooves ahead.

Followed by.

Billowing smoke and dust churned.

A troop of soldiers and horses galloped from far and near.

Wang Tianyou was shocked, hurriedly put his gun in his hand, and led three hundred cavalry to check forward.

But.

When the army came near.

Wang Tianyou looked at the general and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Originally.

This general is none other than Jiang Song, a powerful general who sits outside the Saiwai and takes care of the grassland for Wang Ke.

"Brother Jiang, why are you here?"

Seeing Jiang Song arrive.

Wang Tianyou was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly asked.

"I wonder where the lord is? This place is quite close to the pasture, why doesn't the lord go to rest in the pasture? ”

Jiang Song looked at Wang Tianyou and asked.

"The lord is behind! How close to the pasture? I remember that most of the pastures are on the Jizhou side, huh? ”

Wang Tianyou asked rather strangely.

"A few days ago, a group of horse thieves came here and tried to occupy the surrounding pastures, and when I heard about it, I came to negotiate with them, and the leader of the horse thieves was very rude, and I shot him to death, and the other horse thieves obeyed one after another...... When I saw that they were quite brave, I took them as soldiers and trained day and night, and the pastures here became our territory. ”

Jiang Song smiled slightly and explained to Wang Tianyou.

"I see! It seems that Brother Jiang has done a great job outside the Saiwai! ”

Wang Tianyou laughed and joked.

While talking, he led Jiang Song to see Wang Ke.

Wang Ke was very happy when he saw Jiang Song. I also heard that Jiang Song had recently subdued the horse thief, and I became more and more happy.

So.

When the army was in order, they went to rest in the pasture.

Nothing was said all night.

Until the next day.

Wang Ke was about to set off.

Jiang Song's lieutenant Wei Bijiang came in the starry night.

With him, there are also brothers Shi Danai and Shi Dayi.

These people said that they were familiar with the terrain outside the Seychelles, and they wanted to go to the Turks with Wang Ke, and they could usually take care of each other.

Wang Ke bowed slightly, and immediately agreed.

Since then.

Wei Bijiang, Shi Danai, and Shi Dayi joined the team and led 2,000 soldiers and horses to accompany them.

This Wang Ke took 5,000 soldiers and horses and eight strong generals to march to the Turks together.

On the way.

I walked for about four or five days.

this day.

Centaurs are crossing a river beach.

In the dense forest ahead, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly struck out, lined up on the other side of the river beach, and bows and arrows were suddenly raised and aimed at Wang Ke and others.
