Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 209 The Death of Khan
The rain subsided, the sun rose, and a rainbow appeared in the sky.

Ergele Khan looked sadly at the camp that had been washed away by the flood.

5 Uyghur king tent elite, [-] stele forest army elite cavalry, plus the miscellaneous army responsible for logistics and supplies, a total of [-] people are stationed in this valley.

Yesterday's flood not only washed away less than half of the soldiers' luggage, but also washed away Gele Khan's dream of dominating the grassland.

It's over!It's over!
Gele Khan stood upright on the high ground, watching his generals gather up the defeated army, he knew he couldn't cry now.

But the young Uighur nobles such as Mang Gucha couldn't help it. They cried bitterly. The flood washed away the subordinates he brought from the tribe, and even destroyed the horses and weapons.

This was an unbearable loss for the tribe where Manggucha was.

"Manggucha, put up the banner of Ben Khan, and quickly let all the ministries gather the remnants!"

Mang Gucha held back his weeping, and immediately went to the river valley under the order of Gele Khan.

Gele Khan said to his nephew Okuosuni: "How many heavy horses are there?"

Wo Kuo Suni also said with a sad face: "Only 500 people were recruited. The horse camp was also washed away during the flood last night. There were only [-] horses left, and they were all frightened."

"Enough!" Gele Khan resumed the decisiveness of his youth, and he said to Wokuo Suni: "Yesterday, Ben Khan whipped you, but today is Ben Khan's forerunner?"

Seeing Gele Khan's appearance, Wo Kuo Suni immediately said seriously: "Wo Kuo is willing to die for Khan!"

"Okay, the heavy cavalry will be handed over to you, and the light cavalry will be commanded by Ben Khan himself. Let's go out of the camp now and attack the Tang army's camp!"

Wo Kuo Suni gasped, his camp had just been destroyed by the flood, and he was going to attack the Tang army camp now?

After Gele Khan put on his armor and mounted his horse, he raised the Khan's banner high and gathered a large number of defeated soldiers.

These Uighur soldiers were all in a panic, some of them had just been rescued from the water by their companions.

But these are the lucky ones, and more Uighur soldiers were buried in the Caton River forever.

Gele Khan didn't say a word, but let the flag guards hold the Khan's military flag high, and constantly dispatched soldiers to rectify the troops.

Gele Khan personally took over the light cavalry, and it was indeed much more efficient than when it was handed over to the heads of thousands of households.

With the Khan's banner, the soldiers spontaneously gathered near the Khan's banner.

By the time the sun rose to mid-air, a patchwork cavalry phalanx had already lined up.

Gele Khan suppressed the sadness in his heart. Now there are less than 4000 people behind him.

He was getting old, and he didn't sleep all night last night. Gele Khan was a little dizzy, but he still ordered people to bring honey water. After drinking the honey water, he said to Mang Gucha: "Contact the queen who came from the upper and lower reaches. Are you in the army?"

The Uighur rear army, who came from the lower reaches and was about to outflank the Tang army, camped behind the Tang army, so they were not affected by the flood.

Mang Gucha immediately said: "According to Khan's order, I have contacted the rear army, and immediately surrounded the Tang army's camp."

Gele Khan nodded, and he said to Mang Gucha: "Whether we can return to Yazhang City safely depends on this battle!"

After saying this, Khan Gele got on his horse, drew out his saber and said, "Send the order, follow this Khan, and go home!"

The order to go home was passed down one after another. After hearing this, the depressed Uighur soldiers cheered up and temporarily forgot the sorrow of the camp being destroyed by the flood and the brothers and sisters buried in the flood.

I can go home now!After a big defeat, everyone missed their hometown. Gele Khan's slogan to go home was very simple, but it greatly mobilized the soldiers' fighting spirit.

Naturally, Cao Lingzhong couldn't hide the news of the Uighur military camp.

Cao Lingzhong was also quite decisive, he immediately led the soldiers out of the camp, and led the troops far away from the battlefield.

Pang Yawei said puzzledly: "Master, why do you want to retreat? Isn't this the best time to attack the Uighurs?"

After the war yesterday, Pang Yawei had been officially accepted as a disciple by Cao Lingzhong, so Pang Yawei called him the commander-in-chief.

Cao Lingzhong said: "Lao Tzu said: 'A soldier who mourns must win'. Now that the Uyghurs have just escaped from death, they have the strongest desire to survive. If we block the Uyghur army now, our army does not have the numerical advantage, and we will definitely not be able to stop the Uyghur army who are thinking about returning. "

"Furthermore, the Uyghur army downstream was not damaged. If they were entangled by the Uyghur army and attacked from front to back, they might be in danger of being overthrown."

"So the best thing to do now is to wait for the Uighur army to return to the east, and our army will continue to chase after it. The Uighurs are anxious to return to Yazhang City, but they will let us bite off a few pieces of meat!"

Pang Yawei was filled with admiration. Sure enough, what Cao Lingzhong said was right. Although the Uyghur army today has dilapidated equipment, its morale is high and its military appearance is neat. On the contrary, it is more difficult to deal with than a few days ago.

Cao Lingzhong watched the banner of the Uyghur Khan pass by the Tang army camp, and soon a Uighur army appeared from behind the Tang army camp.

Pang Yawei admired Cao Lingzhong even more, and the Uyghur army headed straight to Yazhang City in the east without stopping.

Next, Cao Lingzhong immediately got on his horse and led the Qingqi of the Tang Dynasty to pursue the Uighur army.

Chasing death and chasing north along the way, it stopped when the Tang army entered the core area ruled by the Uighurs.

Taking stock of the results of the battle, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty swallowed up thousands of Uyghur troops, and the Uyghur Khan even left behind a lot of cattle and sheep to delay the pursuit of the Tang army.

big win!This unprecedented victory made the Tang army rejoice, and the documents of victory were also sent from the grassland to King Jianning's overlord's mansion.

This battle wiped out the elite heavy cavalry that the Uighur Khan worked so hard to build up. The Uighur Khan also lost more than half of the [-] kings' tent elite who suppressed the grassland, and lost less than half of the three major stele forest troops that suppressed the grassland.

Gele Khan rode his own horse and returned to Yazhang City with the remnant soldiers.

Prince Yidijian, who got the news in advance, led the nobles of Yazhang City's royal palace to welcome Gele Khan outside the city.

Gele Khan was overjoyed to see this son, and entered the palace of Yazhang City side by side with his son.

He backed away from the left and right, took his son Prince Yidijian by the hand and said:
"Being a father is a sinner for the Uighurs."

Prince Yidijian wanted to comfort his father, but Gele Khan took his hand and said:
"More than half of the king's account elites have been lost, and the three major stele forest troops cannot let them go back to the stele forest."

Prince Yidijian immediately said: "My son will let Ye Hu of the Three Stele Forest Army stay in Yazhang City, and use high-ranking officials and rich salary to win them over."

Gele Khan nodded, and continued: "What should the rest of the tribal army do?"

Prince Yidijian said: "If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded, and if you have been punished, you must be rewarded and punished clearly. However, the armies of those big tribes must be charged with crimes to prevent them from going back, or there will be rebels everywhere on the grassland."

Gele Khan looked at his son with great satisfaction, and then asked, "What about Datang?"

Finally came the key question, Prince Yidijian immediately said: "Maintain the treaty between Tang and Hui, and maintain the goodwill towards Datang."

Gele Khan looked at his son overjoyed and said, "You will continue to pay tribute to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and you will also ask to marry a Princess of the Tang Dynasty as your official wife."

Prince Yidijian looked at Gele Khan in surprise, the old Khan showed a trace of fatigue, and finally asked: "Your brother Ye Hu, what do you want to do?"

Prince Yidijian was lost in thought. He looked at his father Khan and said, "If the elder brother is willing to serve the Uighur, the son can tolerate him."

Gele Khan shook his head and said: "When Ye Hu returns to the grassland with his troops, I will use this will to kill him."

Prince Yidijian looked at his father in surprise, Gele Khan said wearily: "From now on, you are the Khan of the Uyghur. The leader of the wolf pack must maintain authority. There cannot be two wolves in the pack." Wolf."

Prince Yidijian was taken aback, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "My son has no intention of usurping Khan's position!"

Gele Khan smiled and said: "I know all about your ambitions. You go and call the princes, ministers, and generals to come in. I will pass on the position of Khan to you under their witness."

Gele Khan summoned all his ministers and announced in person that he would pass on the position of Khan to his son, Prince Yidijian.

Yidijian accepted the position of Khan, named Mouyu Khan, and respected his father Khan as Great Khan.

After the succession ceremony of the new Khan was held, Gele Khan finally couldn't bear it anymore. He closed his eyes and passed away forever.

Mou Yu Khan hugged his father's body and wept bitterly, and the whole Yazhang City couldn't stop crying.

Gele Khan has returned to the Longevity Heaven!
