The Turkic army finally retreated slowly, the Sui army in Dali City was jubilant, dozens of young lieutenants couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and ran to the front of the military office, just as Yang Yuanqing walked out of the military office, everyone rushed up to surround him, looking at him with eager and expectant eyes.

"Chief, give the order to pursue!"

"We can wipe out the Turkic army in Fengzhou!"

The generals shouted for battle, the crowd was excited, and there was a posture that refused to pursue and would not let Yang Yuanqing leave, Yang Yuanqing smiled, "Okay then!" Let's go up the hill to observe the enemy's situation. ”

He led a large group of young lieutenants to the top of the mountain, Yang Sien and Ma Shao also hurried over, everyone went to the top of the mountain, the field of vision on the top of the mountain was unusually wide, you could see thousands of soldiers cleaning up the outer city, and then look into the distance, you can see the Turkic army slowly retreating, the banner is neat, the team is orderly, and you can also see the Turkic king's tent in the ranks.

At this time, dozens of young lieutenants were silent, Yang Sien had a gloomy face, stared at them and said hatefully: "Why don't you make trouble now?" Why don't you say it's going after it? Yao Qu, you kid screamed the most fiercely just now, I asked you to play the striker, will you go? ”

The young Captain Yao scratched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly: "We all thought that the Turks must have fled in fright, but we didn't expect their team to be so neat, he***, where does this look like a defeat?" ”

Yang Yuanqing's group of young lieutenants are very important, they were all promoted last autumn, they are all in their early twenties, young and full of vitality, they are the future of the Fengzhou Army, for their invitation, Yang Yuanqing did not want to send an order, but personally brought them to the top of the mountain to understand the truth.

Yang Yuanqing waved his hand to Yang Sien, asking him not to be harsh, he smiled and said to the captains: "In fact, the Turkic army was not defeated, they were only forced to withdraw, but it is not that all the troops can not be pursued if they withdraw neatly, the key is that we must understand the composition of this Turkic army, can we defeat them?" The 30,000 guards of the Shibi Khan did not fight from beginning to end, then they must be in this 100,000 army, and our Modao army is not in Dali City, so our pursuit will undoubtedly fail, the moon will be profitable, and the water will overflow, and now we have reached the apex of victory, if we are not satisfied, and we have to pursue again, then we will be very happy and sad, and the proud army will be defeated, I hope you will remember this. ”

Everyone nodded silently, and Yang Yuanqing pointed to the outer city and smiled at them: "Go!" Go to the outer city and clean up the battlefield with the soldiers, and then we will start to rebuild Toyosu. ”

The young generals all went down the mountain, and at this time, Yang Sien walked up to Yang Yuanqing and laughed in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's not because of this reason that you don't pursue the Turks!" ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded, and sighed slightly: "I just don't want another powerful Utu tribe to appear in the Turks, and when we conquer the country, we will turn around and completely destroy the Turks." ”

"Hey! This time we also suffered heavy losses, and I am afraid that the plan to enter the Central Plains will need to be postponed. ”

Yang Yuanqing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You can pick up the soft pinch first, such as Liu Wuzhou, isn't he a rebel?" Let's go and quell the chaos, how about it, are you willing to go out of the mountain? ”

Yang Sien understood what Yang Yuanqing meant, he nodded silently, and asked, "Who will the chief manager send to guard Fengzhou in the future?" ”

"In the future, I plan to make Pei Renji the governor of Fengzhou and Ma Shao the deputy general."

"Pei Renji is good, this time Hekou City is very good, this person is always steady, and he is suitable for Shoufengzhou."

Yang Yuanqing's eyes looked into the distance, and he always had a question in his heart, would Li Yuan take the opportunity of the Turkic army to attack Fengzhou and officially raise troops to capture Guanzhong?

．．．．．．．．．

The remnants of the Turkic army crossed the Yellow River in a very humiliating way and retreated to the steppe, and at this time, another heavy blow came from the north, the 100,000 troops of the Utu Department defeated the 50,000 remaining Turkic troops, broke through the Turkic tents, and took away nearly 200,000 Turkic women and children, and the surrounding Tiele tribes did not have an army to come to the aid, the battle of Yanmen, the dead and wounded were basically the Tiele tribes, and this time they went south to plunder the Central Plains but did not have their share, they had a deep resentment in their hearts.

But this news was like the sky had fallen for the Turks, their wives, daughters, and children had been taken captive, and the entire Turkic camp was in chaos.

From ancient times to the present, whether it is the Central Plains Dynasty or the steppe tribes, they have suffered such a fiasco, and even the wives and daughters of the nobles have been taken captive, whether it is the emperor or the khan, he can no longer sit in this position, even if he himself does not want to abdicate, the people below will not tolerate him.

In a big tent, thirteen tribal chiefs sat together, each of their eyes was full of a deceived anger, when the Khan told them that they had come to the Great Sui to plunder wealth and women, they all brought their own tribal elites, less thousands, more than tens of thousands, but no one thought that they did not see wealth, let alone women, they only saw war and killing, only the most tragic casualties.

"What do you say?" Sirohuji's voice was hoarse, and there was a deep pathos in his eyes, for he had two sons dead, one in the city of the estuary, and the other in the city of Dali, and that his family in the possession of the Turkic tent was also very auspicious, and in his undulating chest there was only an unforgettable hatred for Shibi Khan.

"There's nothing to say, kill him and set up a new khan!"

The dictionary of the Turks is very simple, there is no such thing as death, exile, abolition, seclusion, etc., which infringes on their vital interests, then there is only one word, kill!

Siluohuji looked at everyone, everyone's eyes flashed with anger, no one objected, he nodded, and asked again, "What about the new khan?" ”

Everyone's eyes were on the second prince, Rigfisheth, who could not have been the son of Righi, either Philosher or Ashina.

He stood up, he glanced at the crowd, and said slowly: "I still have 30,000 troops, and there are only 10,000 left. ”

The Turks are very realistic, they don't talk about any virtue and ability, and they don't shirk modesty, they only look at strength, and Philfisheth is telling everyone that among the 100,000 troops, his army accounts for 30 percent, and Silokhuji also said: "I firmly support Philesher." ”

The combined army of the two of them accounted for half of the 100,000 troops, which was absolute strength, and the rest of them nodded their heads in support of Liversheth.

"What about Princess Asto?" Someone asked.

He did not hesitate to say, "Princess Asto, we will send her back to Fengzhou." ”

"But the Fengzhou army killed so many of us, will you let her go?"

Siluo Huji sneered, "Your wives and children are in the hands of Utu, do you dare to touch Asto?" ”

"But we can use her to exchange Utu for the captive family."

He shook his head, "Utu is not a person who is blackmailed, and neither is Yang Yuanqing, the consequences of doing so will only make them unite again to wipe out all of us, isn't Fengzhou's lesson deep enough?" Or we can return her to Princess Anuri, and Utu should understand what we mean, and he will show it. ”

He looked at everyone again, and when he saw that no one had spoken, he said, "It's so decided, give Asto to Anuri!" ”

．．．．．．．

In the past two days, Asduo's mood has been joyful and sad, happy that the Turks have finally withdrawn and the people of Fengzhou have been safe, and sad is that she heard that the Turkic army has suffered heavy casualties, and there are only 100,000 troops left, and I don't know how many wives have lost their husbands? How many parents have lost their sons? How many children have lost their fathers?

There is more of a hatred in her heart, a hatred for her brother Duji, it is his selfishness and recklessness that have ruined many Turkic families.

"Princess, you're going to Utubu, I'll go with you!"

This is the maid who serves her pleading with her, yesterday the second brother sent a letter to her, and they have decided to send her to her sister Anuri, to Anuri, of course she is willing, she does not want to go back to Fengzhou now to face the corpses of the Turkic soldiers.

Asduo liked her as a maid, they got along very well, and she happened to be her companion on the way, so she nodded and smiled: "You don't think Utu is far away, then follow me!" ”

At this moment, there was a loud bang outside the tent, and Asduo and the maid looked at each other, and heard the sound as if the clay pot they had placed at the door of the tent had been kicked and broken.

The maid was just about to go out to check, only to see the curtain lifted, Shibi Khan staggered in, his face was flushed, his mouth was sprayed with wine, he held a knife, he walked unsteadily, his eyes were blood-red staring at Asto, the maid screamed in fright and hid behind Asto.

"Big brother, you've drunk too much!" Asto said coldly.

"Fuck you've drunk too much!"

Ji Ji scolded angrily, kicked over the table next to him, he shook his body and pointed at Ah Siduo and said viciously: "You are no longer my sister now, you are Yang Yuanqing's woman, you are my enemy, I can't kill Yang Yuanqing, today I want to kill his woman." ”

Duji pounced and slashed at Asto, the maid screamed in fright, Asto had already taken precautions, pushed her to the inner tent, and dodged the knife with a flash.

"Big brother, are you crazy?" Asto shouted.

Du Ji's eyes were so red that blood was dripping, he roared, and another knife slashed at her, Asto stepped back, but his feet were tripped by the table, and he fell to the ground, Du Ji sneered, and slashed at her with a knife, Asto grabbed the table to block the knife, and then kicked him in the crotch, and Ji staggered back a few steps, he drank too much, his feet were unsteady, and he actually fell on his back, and the knife was taken out a few steps away.

At this time, the curtain was lifted, and Philesher rushed in, he pounced on him and pressed Duji down, neither of them spoke, Duji desperately reached out to pick up the knife, but Asduo took the knife away first, and Duji shouted, "Asto, give me the knife, give it to me!" ”

Asto also realized that something was wrong, the competition between the two brothers seemed to be unusual, she just hesitated, Liversh pulled out the dagger, and stabbed it into the chest of Agi, Liversheh screamed, blood spurted out, Liversheh stabbed him in the chest more than a dozen times, and Liversheh finally died under the brother's knife.

Asto covered her mouth and looked at her brother who had been killed in horror, and she slowly knelt down, when two captains of the Guards walked in, knelt down on one knee to Liversh, and said in a deep voice: "All the generals are willing to be loyal to the new Khan!" ”

He stood up, glanced at Duji, and said coldly: "You have been defeated in Fengzhou, and you have betrayed your relatives, and no one is willing to be loyal to you anymore. ”

Liversh turned and walked out of the tent, and Asto held her brother's cold hand, and she began to weep bitterly.

．．．．．．．．

In April of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Shibi Khan was killed by his brother Ligfisheth because of the anger of the tribes because of his fiasco in Fengzhou.

However, his younger brother, the third prince Ashina, was dissatisfied with the second brother's ascension to the throne, and led his tribe to move to Beihai, proclaimed himself Jieli Khan, and did not recognize the position of Khan of Gulphoshe, and the Turks were once again divided internally.

The powerful Turkic Empire, founded by Qimin Khan, rapidly declined after the Battle of Yanmen and the Battle of Fengzhou.

Like the Great Sui, the grassland has also entered an era of competition for hegemony.

[Note 1: Shibi Khan is believed to have died in Lingwu County three years later.] 】

[Note 2: The Western Turkic Luo Khan is confused with this Luo Khan, in fact, there are two Luo Khans, the mother is the Han Xiang Lady, and it should be the Western Turk Luo Khan. 】
