Country color

Chapter 287
To be honest, over the past few years, Li Chongjiu has contributed a lot to Xue Yantuo's department.

In history, the Turks moved the Khan Court from Yudujun Mountain in Mobei to Iron Mountain in Monnan for the purpose of invading south.

The southward migration of the Khan court led to the decline of Turkic control over the Tiele tribes in Mobei, which led to the rise of the Xue Yantuo tribe. Fifteen tribes of Tiele in the north, such as Huihe, opposed the East Turks together.In order to achieve the strategic goal of attacking the Turks from the north to the south, Li Shimin sent General Qiao Shiwang to join Xue Yantuo's tribe in the north, and named Yinan as Zhenzhu Vija Khan.

Jieli Khan knew that Xue Yantuo's tribe was on the rise and conquered Mobei in the north, but was defeated by barbarians. After losing this battle, the Tang army once again had a heavy snowfall in Mobei, and most of the Turkic cattle and sheep were killed or injured. Sending troops to the Northern Expedition to the Turks led to Li Jing's victory in the first battle and captured Jieli Khan alive, which led to the collapse of the Eastern Turkic Grassland Empire.

And Li Chongjiu also followed Li Shimin's example and sent a caravan to Xue Yantuo's tribe to find the support of Yinan in order to contain the Eastern Turks from the north.Yi Nan was very happy to see so many cattle, sheep, cloth, and tea bricks sent by Li Chongjiu, so he sent envoys to and from each other, and the two sides conspired to fight against the Turks.

But in fact, historical experience is not the case, and everyone can learn from it. The secret relationship between Yi Nan and Li Chongjiu aroused the fear of Luo Khan in the Turkic Region.So Chuluo Khan took the opportunity of conquering Zhuojun in the south of Li Chongjiu, led [-] Turkic cavalry, crossed the Great Gobi, and conquered Xue Yantuo's tribe.

Hearing that the Turks were coming to crusade, Yi Nan knew that this battle was inevitable, so he immediately mobilized all the soldiers of Xue Yantuo's tribe to fight against the Turks.

This battle was very fierce. Xue Yantuo's tribe fought the Turks for three full days. Yi Nan even led an army to raid the Golden Wolf Banner of Eastern Turks.

However, the Xue Yantuo tribe led by Yi Nan was not the opponent of the Turks after all. Three days later, the Xue Yantuo tribe almost shed the last drop of blood. More than 1 warriors from the tribe died in battle and were defeated by the Turks.In history, the Yinan who led the rise of the Xueyantuo tribe was captured by the Turks before he was named Zhenzhu Pijia Khan.

With the power of a great victory, Chuluo Khan immediately summoned the leaders of the Mobei Tiele tribes, and these tribe leaders would not dare to come when they heard the call.

Chuluo Khan is about to behead the barbarians in front of all the leaders, and kill the chickens to make an example to the monkeys.The leaders of Tie Le's tribes suddenly fell silent, and renewed their loyalty to the Turks.After Chuluo Khan pacified the situation in Mobei, he led the army back to Monan. This time, he had no worries in the north, and instead pointed the finger at Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help sighing that the death of Yinan was tantamount to selling his allies who might attack the Turkic north and south in the future to the Turkic people.However, Yi Nan's death is not without gain for Li Chongjiu.

If Chuluo Khan took Li Chongjiu to conquer Zhuojun in the south, instead of attacking the Xue Yantuo tribe in Mobei, but attacked Li Chongjiu's Huaihuang Town and Yuyi Town, then Li Chongjiu would have to give up the strategy of Zhuojun and return to the grassland, otherwise Huaihuang Town and Yuyi Town had to be lost. Even if they returned to the grassland, if Chuluo Khan really decided to fight, Li Chongjiu might not be able to keep the two towns.

So for Li Chongjiu, once these two towns are lost, it will definitely not be as simple as a heavy blow to the economy.Huaihuang Town is Li Chongjiu's first city, once it is lost, it will deal a blow to the confidence of the grassland ministries who are attached to Huaihuang and Yuyi.

If the two towns are lost, it is very likely that even Shi Dexi, who is quite obedient, will turn his back on Li Chongjiu.Therefore, the two towns must not be lost.

Therefore, the destruction of Xue Yantuo's tribe, in a practical sense, actually blocked a shot from the Turks for Li Chongjiu.Although he has the feeling of rejoicing that the dead friends will not die, but in the future, there will be no allies to contain the Turks, how to restrain the powerful Turkic Empire.

Sure enough, every drink and peck is determined by God.
Now on the grassland, the cold winter is about to enter, and at this time, Chu Luo Khan actually let out rumors that 30 soldiers are going to attack Huaihuang and Yuyi two towns.

Although he didn't even see a hair of the Turkic people, Chuluo Khan had just pacified the Xueyantuo tribe and subdued the Mobei Tiele tribes. At this time, his momentum on the grassland was just like the sun at the height of the sun.Under the Turkic Golden Wolf banner, countless leaders of grassland tribes prostrated themselves under it.

Even if they didn't know whether it was a threat or a real fight, when Huaihuang and Yuyi Second Town heard the news, almost everyone felt alarmed and panicked overnight.The Han merchants were all terrified, especially the Fanren. Within two days, two to three thousand people were evacuated from the two towns.

The elders of the Xi clan urged Li Chongjiu to return to the army quickly, so that the soldiers of the Xi clan who went out with the army should return to the tribe as soon as possible.

But this time they didn't dare to force it. Li Chongjiu has now captured Zhuo County, and his momentum has risen sharply no matter whether it is in the Central Plains or on the grasslands.And in terms of power, it has leapt to a higher level.

So the elders of the Xi Clan traveled thousands of miles to Jixian County in person, begging Li Chongjiu to retreat quickly, almost in tears, and returned to the grassland to discuss how to bypass the Turkic retreat.

The general of the Han army under Li Chongjiu looked at Elder Xi Ren who was frightened by the Turkic people, and they all looked unhappy, but they had to admit that the Turkic people were so powerful at this time that they did have such abilities.

The Chuluo Khans arrived before the sound, and a word almost turned the grassland upside down. If the Turkic army really drove 30 troops to Huaihuang Town, then it would be fine.Li Chongjiu didn't have Yi Nan, an excellent ally who blocked the gun, to count on this time.

Anyway, the situation in Zhuojun has calmed down now. Although the Zhuojun gentry headed by the Lu family did not sell Li Chongjiu's face, they collectively sold Li Mi's face.Without these people secretly playing tricks, even if Dou Jiande in the south dares to go north to attack Zhuojun with his army regardless of his own face and Li Mi's face, he can defend himself with Yu Chigong's [-] soldiers. The soldiers of Shanggu County and Li Chongjiu's Fan Army came to support them.

As for Gao Kaidao, Luo Yi is currently in Li Chongjiu's Zhuojun offensive, and his main force has suffered a lot. Now he can only protect himself, and he is not in danger to Li Chongjiu. With the ability to attack the city, at least the two of them can be cleaned up after the spring blossoms next year.

So Li Chongjiu decided to transfer all the prairie cavalry, including the Tujue regiment and Wansheng army, back to Huaihuang, and garrison the second town of Yuyi to stabilize them. Because they were worried about the Turkic attack, people were worried day and night.At the same time, it can also deter the eight tribes of Khitan who have been defeated by the Wuhou Qinshui River for more than a year and are gradually recovering their strength, and the three tribes of the Xi tribe headed by King Hunhe.

Immediately taking the more than 1 army cavalry rewards for this expedition, Li Chongjiu entrusted the affairs of Youzhou to Shi Weizheng, the county magistrate, Lu Chengqing, the county commander, Wei Chigong, the county captain, and Xu Wu, the county deputy captain. Also, he returned to Yuyi Town to celebrate the New Year during the heavy snowfall in winter.

After Li Chongjiu took charge of Yuyi Town, the current situation has stabilized. Unknowingly, the winter of Daye's 13th year was gradually spent in the snow on this grassland.

It was snowing heavily, and on the grassland, a three-foot-thick snow fell, and the heavy snow made the wooden houses in Yuyi Town rattle.

In Li Chongjiu's mansion, Xi Ren's servants in the mansion had already started to clean the snow inside and outside the courtyard early in the morning.

With his hands behind his back, Li Chongjiu stood outside Shi Deyun's house in a woolen cloak, looking at the bare old tree in the yard.

"Report to Khan, Madam is indeed happy, it has been three months."

Hearing what the old Chinese doctor said, Li Chongjiu couldn't help being startled.Li Chongjiu let out a long breath. The witch doctor who had been following Shi Deyun told Li Chongjiu about this matter, but he couldn't trust the Mongolian doctor in the grassland, so he asked the Chinese doctor to make another diagnosis, so this Confirmed next time.

Three months ago, it was already before I went to Zhuojun.After Li Chongjiu learned about this, although he had been prepared in his heart, when it happened to him, he still felt a sudden happiness at this moment.

Li Chongjiu was deeply hit by this feeling, and immediately stood there in the wind and snow for a long time.

Li Chongjiu came to his senses only when the flat woo ah woo sound came from Shi Deyun's room.

Li Chongjiu sat on the side of Shi Deyun's bed. Shi Deyun lay on the bed and seemed a little lazy after pregnancy, while Pingping was naughty with Shi Deyun on his pillow, making faces at Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu felt a sense of warmth in his heart, held Shi Deyun's hand, and said somewhat complainingly: "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

Shi Deyun said: "I only found out more than ten days ago."

Li Chongjiu shook his head, showing a bit of reproach, and said: "Nonsense, I'm pregnant for more than two months, I don't know yet."

Hearing Li Chongjiu's blame, Shi Deyun obviously didn't mean to be afraid. She stuck out her tongue and didn't take it seriously. Instead, she said coquettishly: "I'm just so confused, Khan. It's snowing this winter, and I haven't gone out to fight, so it's inconvenient to move. Take some more time to stay with me in the mansion."

Li Chongjiu heard the words and said: "That also requires you to be obedient, and you don't need to be willful in the future, understand?"

Ok.Ok.Pingping nodded aside.This cute look made Li Chongjiu and Shi Deyun laugh at the same time.

For Shi Deyun's nervous performance, Li Chongjiu can only tell a few Chinese doctors to take good care of Shi Deyun.As Li Chongjiu's only wife and concubine, Shi Deyun's pregnancy suddenly came quietly in Huaihuang Town.

After Li Hu knew it, he was so happy from ear to ear at the first moment, he had been longing for the Li family to flourish, and he had been looking forward to it for a long time.So the first time, I had to come to Yuyi Town from Huaihuang Town to visit Shi Deyun.

Of course, besides Li Chongjiu's family, the expectation for this baby has different meanings for Shi Dexi, who is under Li Chongjiu's command, and the generals of the grassland.
