Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1006

Qinghai Hunan, on the bank of the Yellow River.

In Shudun City, Laizheng stood in front of the army in the city to review.

It was almost dusk, and all the soldiers of the army had already had their fill of food. At this time, they were all dressed up and ready to go.

Come to stand in front of the army with a large spear in hand.

"I have led you to garrison here for more than a month, and have not fought a single battle. Many soldiers have long been dissatisfied, thinking that the general Luo Siye and [-] soldiers and civilians have been trapped in Dafeiling for several months, but we have reined in our troops and stopped. Refuse to rescue."

"I come to the sixth place to admire King Xihai very much, and I have no personal grievances against the general king. The reason why the army did not move forward is because the court has more comprehensive considerations. This time the court mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and conscripted nearly a hundred Mr. Wan Min, is it just to rescue General Siye? No, we have to teach those thieves who dare to provoke me, Great Tang, a hard lesson."

"During this period, General Siye stood alone on the Dafei Mountains. General Cheng Yaojin defeated the Western Turkic Army in Dunhuang and Yiwu in Hexi. General Qin Qiong fought several battles with Yehu, the leader of the Western Turkic Army in Fuqi City. It was General Yuchi. I have also played against Murong Ke and nephew Murong Ke several times in Mantou City, but we are the only ones who have always sat here empty."

"But today, we finally have a chance to attack. Your Majesty has an order. The Privy Council issued an order to dispatch our army to fight. Tonight, our army will go out to fight in the city. We will raise our troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. We will wait for a long time to recharge our batteries. Can we fight?" ?”

Several generals and lieutenants took the lead and shouted loudly, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Laizheng is very satisfied with the morale. The big guy has been holding back for so long, and even he has asked for countless orders to fight, but he has not been allowed. Now finally a military order has been issued for them to attack.

A few months have passed, and now the war situation in the entire west has quietly reversed.

Before that, the Western Turks, Tubo, and Tuyuhun suddenly attacked and attacked aggressively. Daqin was a little caught off guard, especially since there was no plan to fight a big war.

But Daqin had no intention of fighting a big war, but he was not afraid of it. Even the Tuyuhun battle was a little passive at the beginning because Tang Jian provoked it privately and Siye went deep in disregard of military orders.

However, once the Central Plains Empire with such a huge size is fully activated, its potential is huge.

Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, and Laizheng each led an army and stationed in Fuqi City, Mantou City, and Shudun City in Qinghai, firmly stabilizing the situation in Tuyuhun, blocking the first attack of the coalition forces of Western Turks and Tuyuhun Murongke's uncle and nephew. wave shock.

The flames of war were blocked outside the Longyou border of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The continuous transfer of food, grass and military equipment from the rear of Daqin also allowed the Qin army to gain a firm foothold in Tuyuhun, and used this time to build a solid line of defense.

The three fortresses were the fulcrum, and more than a dozen fortresses were built around them, firmly blocking the possibility of the enemy army from invading the Qin territory.

Qin Jun defended the first wave, and the next step was naturally to counterattack.

There are enough soldiers, enough food and grass, enough ordnance, and even the places in the west of the Longyou River have built a second line of defense and replenished more soldiers.

After all this is done, it is natural to fight back.

Cheng Yaojin of the North Road was the first to win. He beat the Western Turks several hard punches. Threat to the Khan Court of the Western Turks.

In addition, Tiele and Khitan and other prairie vassals also began to mobilize troops westward, forcing Shekui Khan to return the large army he sent to defend.

Under such circumstances, the number of [-] Western Turkic troops that had already arrived in Tuyuhun became less and less.

The Privy Council ordered in time to find a way to delay the retreat of the Western Turkic Army and prevent them from returning to defend and reinforce the Western Regions.

Qin Qiong has already taken the initiative to attack, and no longer blindly sticks to Fucheng City. He has attacked the Western Turkic Army several times, won several not small victories, and killed thousands of enemies.

Now it's their turn to strike.

After recharging their energy for a long time, they haven't fought a battle before coming to rectify this one, and they are all screaming.

Under the twilight, Lai led [-] soldiers and horses to attack, leaving only some county soldiers and auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands in Shudun City.

March all the way to the southwest.

To the southwest, there is the army of Murong Ke, Murong Anyuan's uncle and nephew, and the troops of Murong Ke's father-in-law, King Tianzhu. The three of them have a combined army of [-]. They have been besieging Mantou City before, trying to take this stronghold in Hunan, Qinghai. , in order to completely cut off the connection between the Qin army and the Dafeiling Siye army.

It's just a [-] army put together by three people, it's really watery.

Before that, the Western Turks had been attacking Fucheng City, helping them share the huge pressure, but their 10 people fought against Yu Chigong's army of more than [-] people, but they couldn't beat them no matter what, and lost a lot of soldiers and horses.

Now the Western Turkic Army on the side of Fucheng City is constantly withdrawing and withdrawing, and has turned from offense to defense, and even the defense is almost unable to defend.

Murong Ke, who already claimed to be a profuse sweat, was restless.

This battle has been going on for several months, and for the nomadic Tuyuhun people, even fighting for several months is too much for them.

Especially in order to be able to win as soon as possible, Murong Ke and the others brought over all the young and strong men from their respective tribes who could be brought to the battlefield, but they were unable to win for several months, and the evil results were also showing.

The young and strong can't go to herd sheep, can't go to shoot and hunt, sit around the city of Qin people every day and eat the mountains, cattle and sheep eat group after group, watching the weather change from spring to summer, and then from summer to autumn, there is still no result.

"The Western Turks are about to withdraw."

"How can they retreat at this time? I made an agreement with Shekui Khan that the three families would attack Qin together. After that, they will have Hexi Shuofang and I will have Longyou. Why are they retreating now?" Murong Ke was angry.

"It is said that there was a civil strife in Gaochang. The Qin army entered Gaochang, and the Tie Le army came east again. Shekui Khan was already too busy to take care of himself."

Gaochang is in the northwest of Yiwu, and its strength is very strong among the countries in the Western Regions.

In Kaihuang, Gaochang surrendered to the Sui Dynasty, which attracted the Turks to lead troops to attack Gaochang City.

Since then, Gaochang has been attached to the Western Turks. After Gaochang Wang Gangu died, the Turks ordered his son Qu Boya to succeed him. In order to control Qu Boya, the Turks ordered him to marry the daughter of his stepmother Datou Khan in the Turkic custom.

The Qu family was born in Xiping, Liangzhou. The family has been influenced by Confucian culture for generations. Qu Boya learned Han culture from an early age. It is difficult to accept the Turkic system of adoptive marriage and marrying a stepmother. Under the pressure, he could only bear the humiliation and obey, but the seeds of resistance were planted in his heart.

In the fifth year of Daye, Yang Guang inspected the Western Regions, and Qu Boya, who had been secretly dealing with the Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains, immediately led the kings of 27 countries in the Western Regions to kneel down in Zhangye to welcome the Central Plains emperors.

Yang Guang was also very happy with his submission. He conferred the title of Yuwen's daughter as Princess Huarong, gave her marriage to Qu Boya, and granted him the titles of Zuo Guanglu doctor and Che Shi prefect.

After returning to Gaochang from Zhangye, Qu Boya immediately carried out reforms, so that the people of the country would untie their braids and cut their skirts, and the average population would be improved.

At that time, the Western Turks had already been replaced by the Shekui Khan, who was conferred by Yang Guang, who had been detained in the Central Plains. However, even the Shekui Khan who had surrendered to the Central Plains could not accept Gaochang’s separation from the control of the Western Turks. So in the ninth year of Daye, Shekui Khan instigated a Gaochang coup and installed the daughter of Datou Khan and the son of Qiangu as the new king.

Qu Boya escaped from Gaochang under the escort of his personal guards, and fled to the Central Plains for refuge.

It wasn't until the Qin army broke through Yiwu, conferred the title of Mo Heduo as the Turkic Khan, and appointed Ashina Danai as the prefect of Yiwu, that the king of Gaochang, who had been exiled in the Central Plains, was escorted back to the Western Regions by the Qin army, and sent People secretly sent him back to Gaochang State, secretly contacted the old ministers, and finally, with the assistance of Yiwu Qin Army generals Xue Wanche and Ashina Danai, they launched the Gaochang Mutiny and captured Gaochang City.

Qu Boya, who had been in exile in the Central Plains for eight years, finally succeeded in restoration and ascended the throne of Gaochang again.

He was also appointed as Gaochang prefect by Emperor Qin. Pei Xingyan led an army of more than [-] people to Gaochang to take defense. The army threatened Yanqi, which was very close to Mount Kuci Sanmi, the Western Turkic Khan Court.

Although there are still more than a thousand miles, there is only one Yanqi left in the middle, and the cavalry raid only takes a few days.

It was under such circumstances that Shekui Khan had to urgently summon Tuyuhun's army back for reinforcements. It is said that Shekui Khan even planned to retreat more than 1000 miles to the northwest and move Khan Tingduoqiuzi Sanmi Mountain to Shishan. Go to Qianquan in the country to avoid the advance of the Qin army!
