Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 411 Concession
The westerly wind howled, the horses neighed, and the Northern Qi Dynasty left Shuozhou and traveled more than a thousand miles to the northwest without a single battle. However, it cannot be said that it was completely fruitless to take in Rouran herdsmen, women and children along the way.

At this time, the army of the Northern Qi Dynasty arrived at Yanran Mountain, which was only a short distance away from Rouran Royal Court. Only then did Gao Cheng receive the news that An Luochen had already abandoned the land and left.

There is no instant messaging these days, and communication with each other is not smooth, especially in the desert. An Luochen didn't know that Gao Cheng would send troops to rescue him before, and he didn't want to sit on the death line, so he chose to abandon Wang Ting.

Gao Cheng had never been able to contact An Luochen before, and the messenger ran into An Luochen's department in Lishui after several rounds.

Knowing that there are hundreds of thousands of women and children in An Luochen's team, there are already a large number of livestock. Although all the property accumulated by the Rouran Khanate for hundreds of years was thrown in the royal court, and the Northern Turks looted it, the goal of Gao Cheng's northward journey was not those. Goods.

People are the most precious resource on the grassland, and the hundreds of thousands of women and children that An Luochen carries are treasures that he really covets, and this is also his goal for this trip.

Gao Cheng held a military meeting at the foot of Yanran Mountain, and said to the generals:

"An Luochen was waiting for reinforcements in Lishui, his troops were in dire straits, with a mere [-] people, how could they protect hundreds of thousands of women and children? If most of our army advances slowly, it may be difficult to hold on.

"I intend to lead Qingqi to carry ten days' worth of rations to Lishui for rescue, and General Murong will lead the troops behind. What do you guys think?"

Tutujia, Tiefa, and Uncle Deng will not object. If the hundreds of thousands of women and children under An Luochen's command are kept, Rouran will have the hope of rising again. If An Luochen is destroyed by the Turks, all the women and children will be looted , One will ebb and flow, and the Turks will truly have the power to dominate the grasslands.

And the generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty will not object to Gao Cheng's decision. Although this method is risky, everything has risks. If you really want to walk together and slowly rush to Lishui, I'm afraid you can catch up with An Luo Chen collected the body.

So Gao Cheng ordered 5 Qi Rouran cavalry, [-] Northern Qi cavalry, a total of [-] people with food for ten days, accompanied by cavalry generals Gao Aocao, Peng Le, Murong Yan, Pi Jinghe, etc. Uncle Deng two people.

Rouran's [-] cavalry soldiers, that is, the troops that escaped from the Huaihuang battlefield under the leadership of the two that day, included more than [-] under Deng Shuzi's command, and more than [-] under Tie Fa's command.

Among the [-] Rouran soldiers, the remaining [-] newly recruited herdsmen were under the command of Tu Tujia, while Murong Shaozong commanded [-] Gyeonggi infantry and [-] Jinyang infantry, carrying livestock and the herdsmen, Women and children go south.

Before Gao Cheng left, he specifically told Tu Tujia to follow Murong Shaozong's instructions and not to act on his own.

Tu Tujia had been in Luoyang for ten years, and he had some understanding of the generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty, especially Murong Shaozong, and Gao Cheng used him to lead the infantry every time he divided his troops, which shows his trust in his ability.

Now that Rouran is in peril, naturally it is not a time to be willful, so Tutujia agrees to Gao Cheng's request without hesitation, and promises to follow Murong Shaozong's example along the way.

Gao Cheng didn't explain to Murong Shaozong carefully that he learned the art of war from him, so he didn't need to teach it by himself. He didn't worry about the infantry left behind. They just couldn't catch up with the cavalry. The ground is formed by vehicles, and with Murong Shaozong's 7 people, bows, crossbows, and sufficient food, the Turkic people really want to swallow this army, and they will be full of heads.

Just when Gao Cheng led the cavalry away, the battle between Turkic and Rouran's Lishui had already started.

Not only Gao Cheng fell in love with An Luochen's hundreds of thousands of royal court women and children, Ashina Tumen was also reluctant to part with the prey in their mouths, or this group of women and children were the most attractive trophies in this attack on Rouran.

He already knew the news that Gao Cheng's army was stationed at Yanran Mountain, so the attack became more violent. Eighty thousand Turkic soldiers and [-] Rouran soldiers fought bloody battles on the north bank of Lishui. Standing firm and waiting for help, but had to fight and go, leaving countless corpses along the way, not only young adults, but more women and children.

The war is no longer limited to adult men, women, half-grown children, and all Rouran people who can lift a knife and draw a bow have joined the battle.

They were not proficient in battlefield skills, and bore the greatest casualties,

People kept trying to persuade An Luochen to give up women and children and lead Qingqi to find the Northern Qi army, but he refused all of them. An Luochen looked in the direction of Yanran Mountain. He had already made two mistakes, whether it was misjudging the movement of the Turkic main force, or misjudging the movement of the Turks. Judge whether the Qi army will send troops.

Abandoning Wang Ting was based on the judgment that the Qi army's center of gravity was in the southern battlefield, and that Rouran's main force was destroyed, and Gao Cheng would not send troops to rescue.

He couldn't make another mistake for the third time. Once these women and children were captured by the Turks, Rouran would have no chance to stand up in the grassland.

As the sun sets, the last ray of light disappears into the sky, endless night falls, and another day of hard work ends. The bonfire illuminates the faces of each and every one of them. Yu Wan either died on the bank of Lishui or was captured by the Turks.

How could it be possible to take care of everyone in such a chaotic situation.

An Luochen's yurt ushered in a Turkic envoy. He said that as long as the remaining women and children were left behind, the Ashina Tumen could let An Luochen and his soldiers leave without embarrassment.

This time, An Luochen was no longer as firm as before, he knew that the soldiers under his command had persisted for many days, but they never saw reinforcements from Qi people, they had reached their limit.

While An Luochen was hesitating, Gao Ziang, the envoy of the Northern Qi Dynasty who was stationed in the royal court, suddenly said:

"The soldiers are exhausted, and the army has no fighting spirit. Why didn't Khan accept it? You need to know that there are green hills left, and you are not afraid of running out of firewood."

Gao Ziang followed Li Zuyi's husband back then, and Yuan Ang, the king of Le'an, was the deputy envoy to Rouran. Yuan Ang surrendered to the Western Wei Dynasty in the royal court of Rouran. If they refused, they were safely sent back to the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

After the marriage between the Eastern Wei Dynasty and Rouran, Gao Ziang stayed in the royal court as a resident envoy in Rouran. This time An Luochen abandoned the royal court, and he also left with the army.

Gao Ziang's words really surprised An Luochen, he didn't expect that even the Northern Qi envoys would persuade him to give up women and children.

Unexpectedly, Gao Ziang changed the subject and said to the Turkic envoy:

"The reason Khan hesitated was because he didn't want to give up the family members of the soldiers. It's better to ask Xu's family members to go away with Khan. There are only tens of thousands of people. It's better for Khan to have an account with the soldiers. The remaining more than [-] women and children can be donated to them." Yu Turk, how good is that?"

The Turkic envoy agreed to come down after pondering for a while.

Gao Ziang glanced at An Luochen again, but An Luochen didn't know why, so Gao Ziang had no choice but to whisper:

"Now that our army is at the end of its rope, the Turks can wipe us all out. However, the concessions are so great that even the family members of the army may be taken away by Khan. I'm afraid His Majesty is coming!"

　After returning to my hometown, one is Calvin, and the other does not have many time code words, but I will go back tomorrow, and there will be more in the evening.
