Chapter 444 General Longxiang

Since going south for thousands of miles and after Yanmén failed to siege Yang Guang, Shibi Khan had to lead more than 60,000 remaining troops to retreat north. Three hundred thousand troops went south, but less than 70,000 people could go back together.

The only harvest of going south this time was the army that had previously captured the three counties of Dingxiang, Mayi and Yanmén of the Sui Dynasty, and plundered a lot of money, grain and property from the three counties. After crossing the Great Wall Pass, Shibi was still limping, and he also sensitively discovered that the leaders of various tribes, Shijin, no longer respected him as before.

This time, the 300,000 army went south, and the royal tribe of Ashina dispatched 100,000. This time, the losses of Ashina tribe were also heavy, with 70,000 people and horses, of which only more than 20,000 cavalry were left. On the contrary, the three tribes that originally went south to prevent the Sui army from going north, the three tribes of the Biaoyeji tribe and the Pugu tribe had nearly 40,000 people and horses, basically maintaining complete troops.

In recent years, with the eastern Khitan, Marin, Xi and other tribes under Jie Li's jurisdiction, one after another, the Wu tribe in the east was already uncontrollable. The leader of the Wu tribe had already had a lot of ideas. Now his immediate superior Jie Li Khan has completely become a bare bar. The Wu tribe leader Qi Jinluoke even ignored Jie Li, and even Shibi, who returned from defeat, did not respect him very much.

After crossing the Great Wall, Shibi's army was stationed in Dali County, Dingxiang County. After crossing the Great Wall, it can be called outside the frontier. Finally, when I saw the grassland again, the Turks felt like fish returning to the sea, feeling relieved.

"Great Khan, our clan suffered heavy losses this time. Before, the Khan made us travel north day and night in the Great Wall Pass. Now we have finally retreated through the Great Wall. This is already outside the Great Wall, and it is the world of our grassland people. Khan, my clans have all the words and do not want to retreat again. This time, when we head south, so many brothers died, it is impossible for us to retreat like this. Dingxiang has abundant water plants, and our clan has decided, even in Dingxiang." The leader of the clan, Shi Jinluoke, said loudly.

Shibi's tui was still unable to walk. He sat on the soft couch and glanced coldly at the tribe leaders in the account, "Who else wants to stay in Dingxiang?"

Frightened by the majesty of the past, the leaders in the tent hesitated for a while.

After a while, the Pugu tribe Shi Jin and the Paoyeji tribe, who had not suffered many losses in their hands, stood up and expressed their unwillingness to return Dingxiang, which he had obtained so easily.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Shibi Khan's mouth. The grassland had already formed a group of war. The Xi tribes attacked the grassland, and the first one to be attacked was the Cun tribe. The Tiel rebels in the north were now heading south to fight with the Pugu, and the three tribes of the Bhaji tribe. The Western Turkic rebels in the west were now fighting with the Qi Gu, and they all fought with the two tribes. Before, Princess Yicheng sent the Qi arrow to Yan Mén to him, and then the messengers from various tribes arrived one after another. However, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Shibi had already stopped all these messengers himself, and the letters were still in his own hands. It's ridiculous that these people, their lairs were about to be broken, and they were still arguing here for a piece of land in the Great Sui Dynasty.

After clapping his hands, a golden wolf shì guard walked over with a box. Shibi opened the hand, took out several parchment scrolls, threw them in front of everyone, and then closed his eyes and spoke silently.

The leaders of the tribes looked at the sheepskin rolls with a strange look, and immediately jumped up like a burning butt. Now there are four or five tribes fighting on the grassland, and the tribes involved in attack and invasion have basically included all the leaders here.

The grassland tribes are their foundation, so how can there be no hurry?

Lock, the leader of the tsun tribe, jumped out first, "Khan, these damn rebels, we will immediately order our troops and fight back to the grassland and slaughter them."

"Yes, Tu Guang all tribes, men kill all the men, nv children are slaves," the leaders stood up and shouted. Tu Guang all the invader tribes, killing all the men, nv children are slaves, this is the most severe punishment on the grassland. In general, in wars, men become slaves at most, but they rarely kill them.

Although Shibi was not in front of the ancient well, he was more anxious than any of them. Although the information he received now was that the rebels of the three tribes around the grassland were still fighting on the border of the grassland. But he didn't believe that the hinterland of the grassland was empty at the moment, and the rebels would miss such a good opportunity to not attack the grasslands of the Asina family. Although there were still 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers left by the Asina family on the grassland, and at the critical moment, they could still arm many elderly and young men to fight. However, the losses of the Asina tribe this time were too great, so that Shibi could no longer feel careless.

He remained silent and waited for a stick of incense. Seeing that the leaders of various tribes were already a little impatient. If they ignored them, someone would probably take the men back to the grassland. When he opened his eyes, he glanced at the leaders in the tent, "Immediately send orders to the three armies to rest well tonight, make meals at the fourth day of tomorrow, and set off at the fifth day of tomorrow, and kill back to the grassland."

"Return to the grassland" leaders of various tribes roared in unison, hurriedly sent out tents and sent orders, leaving the army and horses.

After receiving the orders of the leaders of various tribes, all the Turkic soldiers and horses in Dali City were furious and wished they could go back to the grassland immediately. The army sent out wine early and had a full meal. The entire army was forbidden to leave the camp and rest in advance, waiting for the early departure tomorrow.

Under the dark night sky, the Turks did not live in Dali City. Instead, they surrounded Dali County and were filled with tents. At the same time, the entire military camp had basically entered a sleep. Except for a few Turks on duty who were on duty, the entire Turkish camp tent did not even have a battalion.

On a hillside not far from Dali County, there is a faint shadow.

General Longxiang Zhang He, who was one year younger than Chen Kefu, was holding a thousand-mile mirror and looking at the luàn Turkic camp under Dali City. Zhang He was very young, even one year younger than Chen Kefu, the commander of the Liaodong Army. After entering the Liaodong Army, Zhang He had always been appreciated by Chen Kefu for his youth and courage. As one of the fifteen direct subordinate captains of Chen Kefu, the predecessor of the Liaodong Army, the Liaodong Army, the predecessor of the Liaodong Army, one of the fifteen direct subordinate captains of Chen Kefu, the Liaodong Army, had always had a high status in the Liaodong Army. He was even one of the chief generals of the seven soldiers and horses of the Liaodong Army. As early as two years ago, he was the rank of major general.

But now, Lu Shishen, máoyi, Hu Hai and others who were in the same position as them were already high. Even the commander guards such as Luo Lin and Zhang Jin, who were much lower than him back then, are now on par with him, with a similar rank. In fact, Zhang Jin and Luo Lin are both real generals with large troops, but he is just an empty general.

Everything was due to the fact that after the news of Chen Kefu's death was passed back to Liaodong, they had hesitated. They no longer had the most core position in the Liaodong Army. They could only hold the same official position as Qin Qiong and other unknown soldiers. Even now Qin Qiong and others are getting higher and higher, and they are more and more popular with the generals, but he seems to be getting farther and farther away. Not many people will remember that he was also the top ten generals under the command of the generals.

A rustling sound rang out, and a soldier dressed in the armor of the Sui Dynasty imperial guards walked to Zhang He.

"General, the young man has already discovered that the Turks' garrison tonight is not strict. We just grabbed a tongue easily. According to him, the Turks have learned that the tribes on the grassland have fought. They have decided to have dinner at the fourth and fifth to go straight to the grassland. The camp has distributed rich wine last night, and most of the soldiers in the camp are still sleeping."

After hearing this, a bright jing light appeared in Zhang He's eyes. He clenched the armor with the symbol of the Great Sui Imperial Guard on his body and said to several old subordinates behind him, "Brothers, you have been following me since the establishment of the Pojun Camp. Unfortunately, I am not a good boss. Because of the reasons, you have been able to hold a small position now. With your past achievements and qualifications, you should stand at a higher position. I am sorry for you."

Several strong-looking lieutenants behind him hurriedly said, "General must not say this. If it weren't for the general, we don't know where we are now. If we can have our current status, we are all supported by the general. No matter what the future will happen, we will follow General Ding."

Zhang He was moved in his heart, "Thank you brothers for watching me. Although everyone is willing to take such a small position, I am unwilling to accept it. Brothers, the general is right. If you want to give up, you have to fight hard. This time, Deputy General Wang sent me here, which is a great opportunity given by us. Brothers, take advantage of the Turkic people's unpreparedness and kill Shibi Khan. The general will definitely not forget our contributions. In the past, we were all generals of the Pojun army. As long as this battle is successful, he can be glorious again. Brothers, we must not miss the opportunity and will not come again. Or live happily or die vigorously, and there is nothing to regret. I am willing to go with me, Lao Zhang, if you don't want to, I will not force you to stay here."

Wang Rengong led 30,000 troops southward to prepare to ambush Shibi Khan. This time, General Longxiang Zhang He sent three thousand troops to disguise themselves as the Sui Dynasty imperial guards, allowing them to go deep into Dingxiang and attack Shibi. The purpose was not to kill Shibi, but to make Shibi flee north in panic and create more opportunities for his main force.
