Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 628 Disobeying Orders
Kill Hu Guanwai.

Shibi Khan withdrew the golden wolf banner ten miles back and stationed on the more open plain beside the Zihe River.

After all, the several miles long passage under Shahu Pass is only about two hundred steps wide.There are mountains on both sides, and there is a river in the middle. It is really too narrow. For the 18 Turkic army, this passage is less than ten miles long, and even soldiers and horses are difficult to line up.

Golden Wolf tent.

Almost all the leaders of the troops accompanying the army were present.

In the first place in the middle, Shibi sat on a chair covered with white wolf fur.

Shibi Khan's cold gaze swept over everyone in the tent.

A little bit of autumn wind seeps into the tent, as cold as Shibi's gaze.

A group of Turkic noble officials were a little uneasy.

The Turkic state has been established for decades, and there is also a set of official systems.

However, the official names of the Turkic people are rather strange. The official positions are named after the shape, or the old and the young, or the color, beard and hair, or the wine, or the name of the beast.

At the beginning, there were only ten official positions in Turks, such as She, Quluchu, Abo, Jielifa, Tutun, and Qijin.

The brave Turks are called Shiboluo, also known as Yinghefu.Those who are fat and fat are called Daluobin. Daluobin is a kind of wine vessel of the Turkic people.

It is also said that the old man is Goli, so there is a Golida official.

The horse is called Helan, so there is Helan Sunique, the officer in charge of the army.

Another example is that black is Coluben, so there is Coluben, the official is very official, and the elderly are the ones.

It is said that the hair is Suoge, so there is Suge Tutun, which is equivalent to the county official.

It is said that the wine is to prostrate you in hot sweat, and the official in charge of hot sweat is in charge of monitoring non-violation, similar to the censor supervising the army.

It is said that meat is Anchan, so there is Anchan clay, which is in charge of family affairs like a state official.

However, the Turkic state has been established for decades, and now the official system has become more and more complete. From the first tenth-level officials, to now there are 28th-level officials.

The tallest Turk is naturally Khan, and then Khan's wife Ke Dun.

Under it, it is still Ye Hu, then set up, then special service, then Lifa, then Tutunfa, etc., and almost all of these official positions can be hereditary.

Ye Hu and She are both equivalent to the princes entrusting a place and commanding the military administration of a place, and Teqin is also a son of a high-ranking nobleman, roughly similar to a county king. As for Lifa and Tutunfa, they are both equivalent to the military and political officials of a place , similar to a governor or prefect.

For example, Shibi Khan's brother, Duobi, was granted the title of Mohe Dushi in the northern part of Hetao Yin Mountain.

And Ashina Simo is Jia Bitqin.

At the beginning of the year, Khitan Khan Da He Duo Luo was also granted the title of jin.

"Luo Cheng attacked my Khan Court and killed my people, and now he is arrogantly blocking my way back. Tomorrow, our army must take down the Canhe Pass!"

Shibi said that the Canhe Pass must be taken, but the set, special service, Qilifa, and Tutunfa present all bowed their heads.

The siege of Yanmenguan allowed them to see how strong and difficult the city defenses of the Central Plains are.

At that time, Yanmenguan was relatively open, but they still didn't take it for a month.

Although Shenhe Pass is not as tall and strong as Yanmen Pass, the terrain here is relatively narrow.

Between the two mountains, there is an eight-mile-long passage of more than two hundred steps, and the pass city is four feet high. Especially now that Luo Cheng has repaired and strengthened it, five pass castles are connected, making Shenhe pass city actually have three levels and five passes. , which is harder to hit.

With such a narrow terrain, thousands of people can be accommodated at most at one time.

This completely limits their advantage in the number of soldiers and horses, making it difficult to play.

The generals talked a lot, but they couldn't think of any good way to attack the city. After all, it was easy for them to pass the pass when they came, but that was because the pass city was dilapidated at that time, and there was only a very small group of soldiers guarding the pass.

But now, there are Luo Cheng and the Zhongwu army on this pass city, and there are many Turkic troops who surrendered to him, with seven to eighty thousand soldiers.

Qi Lifu patted the seat, his eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to swear a few times, but Shi Bi stared back.

He is moody and tyrannical, but fearful of Shibi.

Shibi's eyes fell on Tongluo's Tujin and Luobadu.

"Batu Tengjin, you are a famous warrior on our grassland, you are a leopard on the grassland, and you will be the vanguard when we tackle key problems tomorrow, how about it?"

Tong Luo Badu is in his early fifties, and Tong Luo's original intention is leopard, so Tong Luo Badu is also called Leopard King.Although he is over fifty years old, he is tall and burly, very brave.

But at this time, the Tongluo Leopard King was not active.

The Leopard King directly shook his head and said, "The terrain of Canhe Pass is dangerous, and Luo Cheng has a famous Sui Dynasty warrior. He once destroyed Goguryeo by himself, which is quite impressive. So I think it is not the best strategy to attack Canhe Pass. How about, Let's find another way to return!"

Where did Shibi Khan listen?

"I have 20 cavalry, how can I be stopped by a mere four-foot wall?" He looked at Tong Luo Badu coldly, "Could it be that Tong Luo Hejin has already been emboldened by Luo Siye, so now you hear Is everyone surnamed Luo scared?"

Both Robert and Roba opened their mouths, but closed them again.

His silence was also expressing his dissatisfaction with Shibi.

At this time, Qi Jinyi of Xue Yantuo's department lost his voice and said, "Luo Cheng has already seized the opportunity and is waiting for work. Our army returned from Yanmen and was not prepared enough. If we rashly attack Shenheguan, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties. " He advised Shibi, "This time when we went south, our Turks fought several times in Yanmen, Nao County and Xinkou, and already lost 12 people. The soldiers are tired and horses are tired, so it is better to choose another way to return."

Qibibu Qijin Qibi Gelen also had the same attitude.

For a while, the Jinjins of Tiele's various tribes actually said that they wanted to change their way.

Shi Bi stared at them with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Tiele people have always been rebellious and impermanent.

Moreover, Tiele's tribes rebelled more than once.

In the second year of Emperor Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty, Sha Bolue obeyed the instigation of Princess Qianjin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and sent troops to invade the Sui Dynasty. Sabolo hurriedly withdrew his troops.

In the 18th year of Emperor Kaihuang, Datou Khan of the Western Turks took advantage of the opportunity that the capital of the Eastern Turks, Lan Khan, was killed by his subordinates, and took the opportunity to send troops to occupy Mobei.

In the second year of Renshou, all the tribes of Tiele were dissatisfied with the oppression of Datou Khan, so when Datou was defeated by the Sui army, they rebelled one after another and surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. Killed, forcing Datou to go westward and spit out Yuhun in the end, and finally disappeared.

The following year, Luo Khan of the Western Turkic Division succeeded to the throne, brutally suppressed and retaliated against the tribes of Tiele, paid heavy taxes, killed hundreds of chiefs such as Xue Yantuo, and forced the tribes of Tiele to rebel.

In the past few years, the Tie Le tribes promoted Qibi Gelen, the leader of the Qibi tribe, as Yi Mozhen Mohe Khan, and Yi Shibo, the leader of Xue Yantuo, as Yi Xiliu Khan.

Later, the Shekui Khan of the Western Turks became stronger, and under pressure, in the seventh year of Daye, they canceled the Khan and attached themselves to the Shibi Khan of the Eastern Turks. Since then, they have returned to the leadership of the Eastern Turks.

But in general, although the tribes of Tiele are closer to the Turkic tribes than the Khitan, Kumoxi, and Shiwei tribes in the far east, they are more affected and controlled, but they are still relatively strong and have a certain degree of independence. autonomous.

This time when he was ordered to march south, all the ministries came, but everyone did not completely obey Shibi's orders.

Especially in Yanmen before, all the tribes lost a lot of soldiers and horses, so they were even more dissatisfied.

Just like before Shibi let Tong Luo be the queen, but Tong Luo Ba only had a symbolic fight with Luo Siye, and then ran away immediately.

"Choose another way? It's impossible!" Shibi Khan said angrily.

He wields 18 troops, facing Luo Cheng, but wants to detour?

Besides, is the road so easy to detour?
