Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 408 Sending out troops (2000)

Returning to the Mingguang Palace, Gao Cheng heard Tian Khan's words, raised his sword eyebrows slightly, seemed to be greatly surprised by Tutujia's suggestion, and hurriedly said:

"What merits do I have to receive this title, don't mention this matter again, lest the world will laugh at you."

Apparently, Little Gao Wang is more or less self-aware. Erfeng won the title of Tian Khan because he convinced the alien race.

But the slightly raised corner of his mouth revealed his true thoughts to everyone.

To be able to serve Gao Cheng in the palace, whoever has a seven-apertured exquisite heart, the servants immediately praised Gao Cheng, boasting of his great achievements in the past.

It's just that no matter how fiercely a group of eunuchs brag, because their status is too low, it always makes Gao Cheng feel that it is not enough.

If Yu Wentai, Xiao Bodhisattva, and Ashina Tumen were all captured and replaced by these little eunuchs, it would be fun.

Tutujia was afraid that Gao Cheng would continue to refuse, and cried:
"Your Majesty! God Khan! You are the lord of the world, and your sons and daughters of Rouran are being slaughtered by the Turks. They look forward to the king's teacher, like looking forward to the rain after a long drought, and ask your majesty to give rain and dew to save the people of Mobei from the fire and water."

As we all know, Xiao Gao Wang is good at everything, but his heart is too kind, and he doesn't want to see the people suffer.

After hesitating for a long time, with a long sigh, Gao Cheng said to Bald Tujia:
"If you accept this title, you may be laughed at by others. If you don't accept this title and send troops outside the Great Wall, your reputation will be unfair. That's all! For the sake of the people of Mobei, I don't care about personal honor or disgrace. Yu Jiulu please ask me, God Khan , I accept it!"

All the people at the scene were respectful and praised Khan, shouting long live, Tutujia was also among the cheering crowd, when he heard that Gao Cheng was willing to send troops, he immediately turned from sadness to joy, with a smile on his face.

Tu Tujia is known as the Khan of God by Gao Cheng, and it is generally out of selfishness. In order to give Gao Cheng a reason to send troops to Mobei, of course, some personal thoughts are indispensable.

He has been in Luoyang for ten years, and he has gone back to Rouran twice, the first time was to discuss the sale of Mrs. Gaoche for Gao Cheng and his brother, and the second time was to send his niece's coffin home.

As the saying goes, tea is cold when a person walks away, and Tu Tujia is not in the royal court for a long time. If he wants to occupy an important position in the new power system of the Rouran Khanate in the future, he must make some big contributions. He will be called the Khan of Heaven and persuade Gao Cheng to send troops , is his achievement.

The rest of the Rouran royal family, including the new Khan, would recognize the so-called Heavenly Khan.

The main force was almost destroyed. Facing the threat of national subjugation, Rouran was destined to become a vassal of the Northern Qi Dynasty. For the Rouran royal family, there was no one more worthy of refuge than Gao Cheng, a loyal man.

Facing the congratulations from everyone, Gao Cheng finally showed a smile, and said to Tutujia:
"Yu Jiulu, please go to Shuozhou first for me, and tell Tie Fa that tomorrow I will raise [-] elite soldiers and go north to join him."

Tutujia obeyed, and after saying goodbye, she left the palace and went back to the Yanran Pavilion to inform her, packed up a few clothes and went north with her relatives.

Inside the Mingguang Hall, Gao Cheng was still in the name of Anxitian Khan, and heard that the fourth son Gao Xiaoguan was asking to see him outside the hall.

'He is not in Dou Tai's mansion at this time, why did he return to the palace so early. '

It turned out that ever since Gao Cheng allowed Gao Xiaoguan to practice riding and archery with Dou Tai, he would leave the palace in the afternoon and go to Dou Tai's mansion to learn from him, and he would not come back until the palace gate was about to close, and now it is still some time before night falls.

After Gao Xiaoguan entered the hall to see the ceremony, he said directly:
"Father and emperor went to the Northern Expedition, and my son petitioned to follow."

Gao Cheng looked at the determination on his son's face that didn't match his eight-year-old age, but he still didn't agree:

"Going out to fight is extremely dangerous, no one can take care of you, so you just stay in Luoyang obediently and follow Dou Tai to learn the skills."

Gao Xiaoguan was very unconvinced, and felt that his father had underestimated him. Yes, he had just started systematically learning riding and archery skills not long ago, but his talent was outstanding. He said that when his father was a teenager, he taught for two years, but he still couldn't get into the door.

"Father, don't underestimate people."

Gao Cheng called him to his side, rubbed his little head and said:

"Going out of the fortress is nothing more than other things. You can stay in the country with peace of mind. You will serve with the army when you go south in the future."

Hearing that Gao Cheng was relieved, Gao Xiaoguan didn't make any progress, and insisted on going out of the fortress with him.

Looking at his leaving figure, Gao Cheng was very relieved, it was obviously good for his son to have such a heart.

As for bringing Gao Xiaoguan to the Southern Expedition in the future, it is not an excuse. Although in his opinion, the most important thing for his successor is political attributes, he cannot be ignorant of military affairs. Bring them all, so that they have an intuitive understanding of the war.

Some people wanted to go, but couldn't, and some people didn't want to go out at all, but couldn't escape, such as Gao Yang and Gao Yan.

Gao Cheng has not yet ordered the two to follow, but I heard that all ministries are mobilizing. Gao Yang and Gao Yan are already asking their families to prepare their bags. They know Gao Cheng well enough that Nanzheng has to tie them by his side. How could I let myself go.

That night, there were imperial officials impeaching Gao Aocao and Gao Jishi's disrespect in front of the imperial court, Gao Cheng just laughed it off.

On the third day of June in the third year of Zhaode (550), the officers and men of the Gyeonggi Army, who had assembled according to the mobilization order, bid farewell to their families after some soldiers, and left Luo with Gao Cheng, and continued to use their lives to gain wealth and a future.

Those who stayed in Beijing were still the same as before. Gao Longzhi, Sima Ziru, Yang Min, Cui Jishu, Cui Xian and others were the administrative team, and Dou Tai was the left-behind minister.

The soldiers wore leggings that were recently popularized, and they were in high spirits.

After leaving Luo, people from all over the country ate pots of pulp, showing their support and love for the army. The military discipline of Northern Qi soldiers is now famous. No matter in Huainan or Jianghan, they have never plundered people, let alone treated their own people. , It can be called Qiu Wuwu.

Gao Cheng did not carry the emperor's ceremonial guard, and even the prepared armor was only a common standard, of course he did not wear it on his body. Who would wear an armor weighing at least thirty or forty catties for a long-distance march and have his own pack horse to transport it.

The army crossed the Yellow River, passed through Jianzhou, Jinzhou, and Fenzhou, and finally arrived at the city of Jinyang in Bingzhou.

Sister-in-law Liu Honghui had already mobilized [-] Bingzhou troops, waiting for instructions, and hosted a banquet for Gao Cheng in the governor's residence.

Gao Cheng ordered Murong Shaozong to take over the [-] Bingzhou Army before he went to the city with Liu Honghui for the banquet.

At this time, Tu Tujia, who set off first, has already rushed to the old city of Huaishuo. In the city, there are not only more than [-] people from the Tiefasuo who were ordered by Gao Cheng to move here, but also Uncle Deng who came after hearing the news. More than [-] people, including nearly [-] Rouran soldiers.

Knowing that Tu Tujia persuaded Gao Cheng to send troops in the name of Tian Khan, both of them were excited, and they vowed to Tu Tujia that they were willing to obey Gao Cheng's orders and be his pioneers.

As long as there is the help of Northern Qi, Rouran will still have the hope of making a comeback in the war with the Turks, and they will have the opportunity to snatch back their tribesmen, slaves, and livestock.

As for Rouran becoming a vassal of the Northern Qi Dynasty, compared with these, it is not worth mentioning. After all, it is not that he did not serve as a vassal to the Northern Wei Dynasty in the early years. Rouran people were certainly proud of it, but now the critical moment of life and death is not to pay attention to these things when.

Gao Cheng only stayed in Jinyang for one night, then set off in a hurry, leading [-] Gyeonggi soldiers and [-] Bingzhou troops, as well as cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock that had been transported to Jinyang from various places in recent days, and continued northward. Go to Shuozhou and join the remnants of Rouran.

Shuozhou, the old city of Huaishuo, the traces of the fire had already been cleared away, Tutujia, Tiefa, and Deng Shuzi went out of the city to meet each other, it seemed that Tutujia was the leader of the three standing.

There are 6000 Rouran soldiers in Chengcai, and [-] under Tie Fa's command, but he is the lowest in seniority, he is the nephew of Tu Tujia and Uncle Deng.

Besides, Tu Tujia came to send a message on behalf of Gao Cheng, and standing behind him was the one hundred thousand elite cavalry from the Northern Qi Dynasty who were about to arrive.

There is no need to fight for the position of Khan. After the messenger learned the news from Uncle Deng, Gao Cheng's father-in-law, An Luochen, has succeeded to the position of Khan with the support of the [-] army of the royal court.

Abandoning the royal court was the first order An Luochen issued as a Khan.

Knowing that it was his wrong information that killed his father Khan, and even ruined the entire Rouran Khanate, An Luochen regretted and hated him, and a strong sense of self-blame enveloped him all the time.

But An Luochen didn't give up on himself, let it go badly, and the Khan seat pushed by everyone should bear this responsibility.

Although the royal court has [-] soldiers left, but hearing the news from the front line, the hearts of the people are terrified, and now there are no reinforcements from outside.

He didn't know that Gao Cheng had sent troops to the north, and in An Luochen's view, going south to join his son-in-law was the only way out.

Therefore, while throwing away a large amount of belongings and the old, injured, sick and disabled, An Luochen led the improvised Royal Court's [-] army and more than [-] women and children to the south.

The reason why the materials were abandoned instead of being burned was to delay the pursuit of the Turks.

Prior to this, An Luochen ordered the massacre of the royal court's slaves.

An Luochen is well aware of what Rouran people usually do to slaves.

Before Ashina Tengjin sent out suspicious soldiers, these slaves were almost in trouble, and An Luochen did not plan to enlist slaves in the army.

King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty's slave army defected on the Muye battlefield, which made him dare not pin his hopes on the slaves.

Don't worry about keeping it, it is better to kill them all, it is worse than they work as minions and follow the Turkic people to bite Rouran back.

After a tragic massacre, blood spread throughout the royal court. An Luochen took advantage of the night to lead the army and tribesmen to evacuate the royal court before Ashina Tumen army arrived.

And Ashina Qijin had actually seen through An Luochen's plan when the Rouran people slaughtered the slaves, but there was nothing he could do.

I only have 1 people on hand, and the large amount of supplies in the royal court has caused the Turkic soldiers to scramble. They only care about the scramble, and no one is willing to pursue them.

　Happy New Year everyone, the first update is here, the second update is before twelve o'clock, and the third update is at eight o'clock in the morning.
