Turks, Khan's tent.
The big tent is not the temporary camp of the past, but a city that is being formed, with walls, roads, and houses.
On the south side of the city, a large number of people gathered at this moment.
Among these people, there were slaves and free men wearing fur, with different skin colors, old and young, and chaotic composition.
There were tens of thousands of these people. At a high place, there were knights wearing armor holding large bows and staring at those people with fierce eyes.
These tens of thousands of people are busy.
Some are digging the foundation and some are carrying stones.
The old people struggled to move the stones. After a few steps slowed down, some officials held long whips and beat them.
Most of the slaves were Han people, Khitan people, Xi people, Western Regions people, etc. They were almost naked, with only ragged cloth pieces that could cover their bodies, and they were covered in bruises and were constantly repeating their work.
But there were also Turks of a considerable size who worked with these slaves. They had clothes, but they were still beaten.
Those officials wearing tall and pointed hats do things fairly and truly treat everyone equally. Whether you are captured or your own people, their attitudes are the same tyrannical and cruel.
With the efforts of everyone, a brand new pagoda appeared on the south side of the city.
The pagoda is probably quite tall. Judging from the foundation alone, it may be much taller than the Khan Palace in the city.
There are also many craftsmen wearing chains at this moment, and are carving various Buddha statues for the pagoda.
The vast crowd was repeating their work. From time to time, some people fell down due to fatigue. The officials stepped forward and beat them. If they found that they could not get up again, they would drag them away and buried together.
The cold wind whistled past, as if the evil ghost was laughing.
Several kind and kind old monks were discussing the supporting buildings around the big stupa, completely ignoring the grief of the hardworking workers.
The loud crying sounds from time to time, trying to be mixed with the chanting of the great monks, but they often give up halfway and end abruptly.
The newly appointed Tuobo Khan stood on the city tower and saw him wearing a luxurious black fur coat, followed by several fully armed warriors, and an elderly monk next to him.
Tuobo Khan had a kind appearance, bright light flashed in his eyes, and a hypocritical smirk at the corner of his mouth.
He looked at the project in the distance and looked at the old monk beside him with a smile.
"Master Huilin, the wise men in China told me that there is no benefit in building a pagoda. It consumed a lot of financial resources and many slaves and people died. They asked me to stop building it, but when I saw that this brilliant pagoda was about to be born, I couldn't listen to their words."
Monk Huilin hurriedly said, "Khan, these words are all ignorant words. The reason why Qi was strong at the time was because the king worshiped Buddha and the Dharma was boundless, making it extremely powerful and no one dared to provoke it. After Qi was usurped, its national strength was not as strong as before, and he would never dare to go to war again."
"If Khan worships Buddha at the moment, if he can continue to promote Buddhism in China and be compassionate, the country will surely prosper. In the future, he may be able to go south to build a country and complete great things that even the emperor of Qi was unable to do!"
Tuobo Khan couldn't help asking, "Can I reach the level of a heroic emperor?"
"Of course!"
This Khan has two hobbies. The first is to like Buddhism more, and the second is to admire Gao Yang very much.
He felt that Gao Yang was the real heroic emperor and wanted to follow him to achieve great achievements.
Well... to some extent, he was relatively successful, but he was born with shortcomings. Although he had some absurd actions, it was too normal for Gao Yang, and his appearance was similar but his spirit was different.
After this man came to power, he did not rush to go south to fight, nor did he expand the four sides.
His ex-Khan was a talented man. Although he didn't take any advantage of Huluguang, just seeing how he could fight with Huluguang, he knew that his talent was extraordinary. Through a series of successful military operations, his ex-Khan digested the legacy of the last grassland empire and successfully turned Tuwei into a powerful and wealthy country with hundreds of thousands of troops.
When he arrived at him, his sudden strategic purpose was cut off. Tuobo Khan no longer thought about expanding the territory in the other directions or taking in the other tribes. His eyes were almost only on the Central Plains. Perhaps because the surroundings had been beaten up by taking office, only the Central Plains remained here.
He then did some looting behaviors and then promoted Buddhism and other things.
The previous robbery was launched by this Khan.
However, the distance between the two places is quite far, and the news is blocked, so Huluguang didn't know that someone had changed from the other side.
Monk Huilin is from Hebei and was previously captured by Tu people. Because Xin Khan admired Buddhism, he was forgiven. Then he began to suggest Xin Khan to practice Buddhist pagodas and study Buddhist scriptures.
Huilin already knows how to communicate with this Khan.
He said seriously: "The heroic emperor believed in Buddhism. When he was in power, he built many pagodas and promoted scriptures, so he was protected. He could win every war and win every battle.
Later, he was defeated to Chen State because the Chen people valued Buddhism more, and the heroic emperor also knew this, so he vowed to surpass Chen people and build more Buddhist temples after defeating...."
"In the Central Plains, pagodas can be seen everywhere, everyone knows the scriptures, and the temples are full of believers...
Listening to Huilin's words, a light flashed in Tuobo Khan's eyes.
"I just regret not being born in the Central Plains and not being born in the homeland of the heroic emperor!"
Huilin secretly glanced at him, without saying anything, with a complicated expression.
Tuobo Khan had made up his mind, "I will send additional staff to complete this pagoda as soon as possible. If it can really help me win, I will build more pagodas in the future!"
"By the way, I also hope you can help me take the precepts. I will eat vegetarian food and recite the Buddha's name in the future!"
"well!"
Huilin agreed very readily.
The ferns arrived in a new era under the leadership of the new Khan.
Not long after, Tuobo Khan really took the precepts and became a disciple of Buddhism. He then began to promote Buddhism in China. He sent people to find the expelled monks everywhere, hoping to get some Buddhist scriptures. After obtaining these Buddhist scriptures, he copied them and promoted them in China.
At the same time, he found the royal family of Zhou State, Yuwen Zhong, the Duke of Tianshui County. When the Han State destroyed Zhou State,
A large number of Zhou people fled to the Turks. Yuwenzhong was the son of Director Yuwen and Yuwen Hu's elder brother.
He ordered Yuwenzhong to be the emperor of Zhou, and at the same time he asked him to restrain the fugitives of Zhou and to restore the country for Zhou.
At the same time, he also ordered to contact the people of Qi, hoping to attract some old friends from Qi and rebuild Qi.
After searching for it, I couldn't find someone who was willing to rebel, and I couldn't find any royal family, so I had to give up for the time being.
At this time, Huluguang also returned to the frontier. This time, he changed his normalcy and began to send small troops out to harass and attack the Turks. At the same time, he also sent people to win over the small tribes under the Turkic devils.
Convince them to turn against each other.
When Tuobo Khan learned that the Han Dynasty had begun to send troops to attack and harass him, he was very angry.
He decided to wait until the pagoda is completed and perform sacrifices, and then go south to see what the boundless Dharma is for Huluguang and others!
Both sides began to prepare for the war actively.
Huluguang secretly moved grain to several important cities on the front line, and concentrated his troops again. He looked forward to the Turks coming by themselves.
Tuobo Khan was also mobilizing the people to actively build pagodas, telling Buddhist scriptures, and waiting for the spirit to appear in wartime.
So survived until winter.
Both sides have completed their preparations.
On Huluguang's side, elite troops from different regions were completed. Several important areas of the border stockpiled food and heavy troops. The knights attacked several times, severely damaging the enemy's camps, arousing the anger of the sudden. Several of their tribes secretly reached an agreement with the Han Kingdom.
On the side of Tuobo Khan, the pagoda was built, taller than the palace, and became one of the wonders in the territory of Tufen. He ordered everyone to go around when they encounter the pagoda and not pass directly, even if they had to dismount themselves. The monks in other countries also successfully obtained Buddhist scriptures such as "Pure Name", "Nirvana", "Avatamsaka Sutra" and "Ten Recitations" and promoted them in China.
The two sides are ready to start a new round of confrontation.
The reason why Tuobo Khan admired Gao Yang was because he was more warlike. He was arrogant and did not agree with his brother and father. The Khans were cautious in their attitudes, especially after being defeated by Gao Yang, and their strategic vision was always good.
Qi was too strong, so they firmly followed Zhou to attack Qi. Zhou began to become stronger, so they began to sway, asking the Zhou people to take action first, and watch themselves, so that they would not go up, but once they discovered the benefits,
He rushed up immediately, and once Qi began to become weak, he hurriedly changed his position.
Although this is morally flawed, their choice is very correct based on national interests, checking and balancing the two countries, helping the other, and strengthening themselves through the war between the two countries.
Tuobo Khan did not object to their strategic concept. Whoever is weak is right, but he does not grab more things every time and makes small fuss. This will not have much effect on improving his national strength. Instead, the two countries are prone to imbalance.
Once one of the parties is unified, won’t he be beaten?
When he arrived, the Turks' national strength was very strong, so this man became increasingly arrogant and even began to want to imitate Gao Yang to punch all sides.
In order to counterattack Li Guang's attack and destruction, Tuobo Khan summoned his relatives and prepared an army of nearly 100,000. Of course, there were only more than 20,000 elite troops, and they were in a mighty manner. They divided their troops into two groups and attacked Hengzhou.
On the other side, the army was preparing to wait for the camp and other places to support Hengzhou as usual, taking the opportunity to launch a loot on these two areas.
In the battle between father-in-law, Tu Fei attacked a place with local soldiers defending the enemy to the death, and the troops from other areas came to reinforce, and then suddenly withdrew troops. This has become a common practice.
Tuobo Khan wanted to break this convention. He wanted to attack Hengzhou with a strong attack. When the enemy summoned heavy troops here, he would sneak attack their empty places!
As soon as winter began, the army rushed over.
Tuobo Khan personally led the team to attack Hengzhou. As for the robbery task, it was handed over to his nephew to complete.
All the ideas are good, but Huluguang's self-predictions at the beginning were not to defeat the enemy.
When the Turkic army was rushing, Jie Luguang made the generals ready to go to war.
Tuobo Khan came with a large army. As soon as he stopped to camp, Huluguang launched a fierce attack first. He arranged for the generals in several important cities to kill with elite soldiers and attack the soldiers and horses from all over the Turks.
The two sides started a war outside the pass.
Tuobo Khan obviously did not expect that Huluguang would send troops to attack him. According to his wise men under the devil, the Han Kingdom should be implementing a cultivation policy and preparing to destroy Chen. He should not fight with him. He could only think that this was Huluguang's personal behavior!
Tuobo Khan hurriedly ordered his nephew to ignore the robbery and come and help him. Huluguang's army would definitely not be too many, and this is the best time to deal with Huluguang.
The Tufern people's camps are distributed in various places, with more than a dozen places. The time for opening the killing in different places is different, so it is impossible to judge the enemy's strength in time.
Tuobo Khan was about to fight Hulu Guang, but soon he discovered that his judgment was wrong.
Huluguang actually had a lot of troops on the frontier. After defeating Zhou State, the court summoned many elite troops to strengthen the border defense. Huluguang's elite troops should be the most among the places, and he hoarded a lot of food.
Going to the war may not be enough, but it is still OK to fight a quick battle at your doorstep.
The Han army suddenly attacked, and everyone was filled with anger. It was rare to encounter the opportunity to make achievements. Everyone was in front of him and dared not hesitate.
Camps in various places were broken faster than ever.
Tuobo Khan learned of the enemy's attack in the morning, and by night he had received bad news that several troops were annihilated.
The Turkish army was based on different tribes, and the army of different tribes was commanded by its headquarters, and the organization and management of the army had not yet been completed.
Tuobo Khan hurriedly brought the elite troops to rescue,
Outside the Great Wall, the two sides fought in a melee. Huluguang started with the enemy's military system and divided his troops into several groups to fight with each other. If he encountered a stronger tribe, he would gather together and separate again after the battle.
Jie Luguang personally took charge, constantly cutting the battlefield, interrupting each other's interactions, and taking the initiative to seek opportunities.
But Tuobo Khan seemed a little too hard to face Huluguang.
He wanted to use the same trick again to completely disperse the army and make it difficult for the Han army to decide the direction of the attack. However, the Han army was also in a dispersed state at this time. If the army was completely dispersed, it would be bitten and eaten by the other party. But if it was to gather, the gathered Tufern Army could not face the cavalry head-on due to organizational defects.
Most of the troops in the frontier that the Han army was in charge of the frontier were from the old six towns, and riding and shooting were commonplace.
Whether it is riding or shooting, the war horses under the magic, and the tactics of cavalry, they are not inferior to the outsiders, and they are even ahead in terms of weapons.
Tuobo Khan personally brought the army to support him, but once the opponent found that the main force of the Turkic army had arrived, he would go back immediately to defend the city.
The Han army on the other side will attack fiercely.
If Tuobo Khan turned around and attacked the other side, then this side would pounce again.
For a moment, Tuobo Khan couldn't tell who was fucking nomadic.
Isn't this a tactic outside the border?
Both sides fought for only four days.
Within four days, Jie Huluguang annihilated six tribe-made troops. His offensive was fierce and the soldiers went all out, and some tribes that were brought in began to rebel.
These tribes surrendered later, suffered all the bullies, and were protected by the Han army, so there was nothing to say. They started to turn against each other with weapons.
On the sixth day, Tuobo Khan had no idea of ​​continuing to fight, and hurriedly ordered his nephew to ignore anything and evacuate! Evacuate!
This war took a very short time, and it can be said that it was the shortest time spent in several major wars between the Han and the Turks.
It took only seven days from the official meeting between the two sides.
Within these seven days, Huluguang attacked through a crazy multi-line attack day and night, defeating more than ten enemy tribes of all sizes, and capturing more than 23,000 people and countless livestock and supplies.
Tuobo Khan led his confidants back to the royal city.
He had just taken office and was defeated so much, and sent out so many tribes. The situation in the country changed drastically, and Huluguang also sent envoys to the other tribe leaders at this moment.
Huluguang said: The problem with this Bo Tuobo Khan is indeed very big.
The two countries should have lived together peacefully, but it was inappropriate that Tuobo Khan took in Zhou people and frequently sent troops to rob.
It is hoped that the Tu tribes can select another new leader, hand over the Zhou people who were left behind, abolish their emperor's title, and build peace again between the two countries.
Tuobo Khan was not the son of the Khan, but his younger brother. His position was not stable, and because of this defeat, an internal dispute began.
Chapter completed!
