Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 405 War and Peace (3000)

In the battle to the north of Huaihuang, among the [-] elites of Rouran, only [-] people from the remnants of the rear army led by Tiefa and [-] people from Deng Shuzi's troops were separated from the established troops.

Although a large number of Rouran warriors were inspired by the courage of their khan Anagu, they fought with all their strength, and at first they were able to gain the upper hand with one breath, but after that breath was exhausted, exhaustion struck, and it was a one-sided massacre.

Not everyone can see death as home. Many Rouran soldiers surrendered. After a rough inventory after the war, the Turks captured more than [-] Rouran soldiers and found more than [-] corpses. Except for Deng Shuzi and Tie Fa In addition to nearly ten thousand people in the two departments, thousands of rout soldiers fled in all directions.

Ashina Tumen did not insist on chasing and killing them. Compared with the legacy of the Rouran Khanate, these stragglers are insignificant.

When the wolf king who once commanded the prairie fell, countless beasts would come smelling the rotting smell, intending to eat his flesh to strengthen himself and become the new king of this vast prairie.

Turkic is just the biggest one among them. He knows that once he hesitates, Kumoxi, Khitan, Didouyu and other ethnic groups will rush to snatch the people of Rouran.

The royal court accommodates Rouran people, but not all Rouran people live in the royal court.

After a fierce battle, the Turks themselves suffered casualties. Ashina Tumen led [-] soldiers to go north first, and another [-] soldiers guarded the prisoners and took care of the wounded. Rouran's ranch.

At the same time, Tie Fa and Deng Shuzi, who fled the battlefield one by one from the south to the north, never thought of returning to the royal court. As core figures in the royal family, they also knew that even if there was an emergency mobilization, the royal court could only recruit 2 people to cooperate with the nunnery. Luo Chen's [-] people, and his own troops, add up to less than [-].

It was a situation where all the elites were lost and people were in panic, how could Wang Ting be able to hold on.

As soon as An Luochen was mentioned, Uncle Deng became very angry. He met An Luochen's messenger who warned him halfway, and he was so angry that he couldn't help but resent in his heart: Why did you go so early.

If it wasn't for An Luochen being deceived by the Turks, how could Anahu make a wrong judgment? In Deng Shuzi's view, it was Anahu who was defeated, but it was An Luochen who buried the Rouran Khanate. As the heir to the Khan, He betrayed the Khan's trust.

Once the prestige is high, even if a big mistake is made, someone will justify it.

Uncle Deng did not continue to go north. Seeing that the messenger insisted on returning to the royal court to report, he knew that he had already lost two horses.

It is impossible to stay on this grassland. In the past, when Rouran was strong and strong, it bullied all ethnic groups. Now, in times of crisis, everyone wants to take a bite. Back then, they showed their hair and defected to Douyu, and they would still be annexed by the tribe, and they themselves would be ruined. The end of the first place.

The world is boundless, where is the destination?
Uncle Deng turned around and looked south.

That's right, it was Beiqi.

Gao Cheng, the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, was a loyal man, and he was personally certified by Khan Anahu.

In the eyes of everyone in the royal family of Rouran, Gao Cheng has always stood with Rouran and reminded them of the wolfish ambitions of the Turks. It is an ally and partner that the Rouran people can trust, not to mention that the two families are still relatives by marriage.

Of course, the most important thing is the present world, and only Gao Cheng can protect them well.

With a decision in his mind, Uncle Deng didn't hesitate anymore, he immediately analyzed it carefully with the [-] people, and then made a detour to the west, going south from Hetao, and defected to Northern Qi.

Uncle Deng was not the only one who was smart, and Tiefa, who had not had time to enter the ambush in the future, led six thousand tribes all the way south. He decided to offer his loyalty to the Northern Qi Emperor.

Don't look at the 6000 troops under his command, plus the newly recruited nearly 6000 Rouran herdsmen around Huaihuang Town, he can fiddle with more than [-] troops. He did too much and was hated by others. The so-called wall was pushed down by everyone. The [-] people he formed temporarily were really useless against a pack of hungry wolves.

Ashina Tumen did not send troops to snatch the tens of thousands of Huaihuang herdsmen. Naturally, there are more lucrative benefits waiting for him in the north.

When Gao Cheng was still in Luoyang planning his strategy of attacking the Turks with Rouran next year, the envoy sent by Anahu before leaving Huaihuang finally arrived in Luoyang.

Hearing that the Turks attacked the Rouran royal court, Gao Cheng turned pale with fright. He was not good at pinching and counting, knowing that Anahu would be ambushed, but the Turks had endured for such a long time, and the sudden attack must be due to their certainty. Dare to act like this.

Gao Cheng did not dare to delay, and immediately mobilized [-] cavalry soldiers in the Gyeonggi Army, and ordered the newly appointed governor of Bingzhou, Liu Honghui, his sister-in-law, who was transferred from Yanzhou, to urgently summon [-] Xianbei soldiers from Jinyang, and went to Wenhe River, and ordered the governors of each prefecture to go to Jin Yang transported supplies, and his actions did not stop there. He also ordered Pan Le, the governor of Qinzhou, to mobilize [-] cavalry and soldiers to wait for orders.

It can be said that Gao Cheng's reaction was quick enough, but after only three days, he got the news that Anahu was lying in ambush in the north of Huaihuang, exhausted and died of exhaustion, the news that the [-] troops died or surrendered, and only a few got away.

With a cry of exclamation, Gao Cheng was overwhelmed with grief and fainted in the court hall, which shocked Tu Tujia, who was crying for Fu Que to send troops, and all the courtiers.

He didn't really faint, but he just wanted to express his regret for Anahu's death. After all, he was the father of his late wife and the grandfather of his unmarried wife.

Of course, the situation was urgent, and it was not the time for acting. The main reason was that Tutujia asked Gao Cheng to send troops out of brotherhood and in-laws. He smashed his head in the Mingguang Palace, bleeding profusely, but this is a big deal. Gao Cheng couldn't give an answer right away. Before that, he intended to send troops because Turks and Rouran were at a stalemate. Now that the [-] elites of Rouran were almost destroyed, the situation was different. He had to call his confidants to discuss urgently.

Gao Cheng fainted, and just after the court meeting was over, someone in the palace signaled Chen Yuankang, the regular attendant of Sanqi to sacrifice wine, and Wang Wei, Wang Hong, Wang Jun, and Lu Cao, the regular attendants of Sanqi, to wait in the side hall.

Since the end of the Huainan Zumoqian incident, Wang Wei resigned from the post of governor of Yangzhou and returned to Gao Cheng to serve as a staff officer. If he is left out alone, it always feels as if King Gao is taking the lead in crowding out this admonishing minister.

Lu Cao spends more time managing the newly established Procuratorate, which is a law and discipline supervision agency. It not only reviews death penalty cases, but also participates in autumn trials and hot trials, and supervises officials. This is where he can shine. It is difficult for a staff officer to provide Jianyi.

Among the five people, only Lu Cao, an upright person like Lu Cao, remembered being restless because of Gao Cheng's illness. The other four also looked anxious on the surface, but they really didn't take it seriously in their hearts.

Xiao Gao Wang didn't react so much when his own father died, but he was able to faint in grief for Ana Hu, who had never been masked before.

Sure enough, without making everyone wait too long, Gao Cheng walked into the side hall with a radiant face. The matter was urgent, so he went straight to the point and asked the five people for advice.

Lu Cao believed that there was no need to waste people and money because of grassland affairs, which delayed the Central Plains war. , It took three years before he dared to show his teeth to Anahu last year.

However, the size of Rouran is far from what the remnants of Gaoche can match. Let alone digesting Rouran, it is not something that can be done in a short period of time even if the Turks destroy the rest of Rouran. Lu Cao believes that it will be difficult for the Turks to really threaten the Central Plains.

As soon as these words came out, Gao Cheng couldn't help but look at him with admiration, there was something about this elm head.

In the original time and space, the Turks beheaded Anaru in 551, but they did not eliminate the remnants of Rouran until 554. Since its base camp was in Jinshan, that is, Altai Mountain, its expansion always took Jinshan as a circle and radiated around. The Rouran was destroyed, and then the soldiers pointed to Gaochang and other countries in the Western Regions and the Heda people.

The Heda people are not a small tribe. They are a variant of the Xiongnu who migrated westward. They live on the west side of the Jinshan Mountains.

The Gaoche Kingdom was conquered by the Heda people, and the ruler was killed. The third generation leader, Mi Etu, was supported by the Heda people in 505. Only three years later, in 3, Mi Etu was defeated in Rouran’s Western Expedition. The army captured and killed Tuo Khan Khan Yu Jiulu Futu, and hoped that the disaster would be diverted eastward and his head sent to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

An enemy's enemy is a friend, so the Heda people can let the Turks and Rouran fight without playing tricks behind their backs.

But if Rouran is dead, Turks still dare to interfere in the Central Plains war with peace of mind that there are evil people like Heda people by their side?
History proves that after the Turks wiped out Rouran, they began to unite with Persia to wipe out the Heda people, and they didn't get out until 560.

That's why Gao Cheng couldn't immediately reply to Tutujia's request.

He knew that if he didn't interfere in the grassland war, he would have more national power to use in the unification war. After all, the Turkic people not only wanted to eliminate the remnants of Rouran, but also had fierce exchanges with their neighbors, the Heda people and the Gaochang people. Yao, how can you leave the hungry wolf at the door of the house alone, and come to trouble him with Gao Cheng.

Presumably Ashina Tumen will soon send envoys to the south again, put aside the previous grievances with Gao Cheng, re-talk about in-laws, and conclude an alliance, so that they can fully cope with the war with Heda and Gaochang.

This is what they did in history. They made good friends with the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou. While gaining benefits, they were able to march westward with all their strength without having to worry about the eastern grasslands.

Gao Yang and Yu Wentai don't know so much information like Gao Cheng, and what Lu Cao said only mentioned that the Turks need to digest the Rouran forces, and they rarely heard about the Heda people who are far to the west of Jinshan, let alone the relationship between them. Analysis of the relationship between them.

After Lu Cao finished speaking, Gao Cheng did not express his opinion for a long time. He hesitated between war and peace, but in fact, he had a tendency in his heart, and he just needed the support of his confidant to strengthen his mind.

After all, the decision to send troops to Mobei at this time requires far more courage than the southern expedition. For the Central Plains Dynasty, the difficulty of going out to fight is well known.

Seeing Gao Cheng silent, Chen Yuankang, who had already figured out his temperament, stood up.

　Chen Yuankang's stop lasted all night.

　　Thanks to the book friend Maruka for the reward.
