The second day.
In Nanyang City.
Han Qinhu summoned the generals to discuss matters.
Because Yang Guang issued an edict a few days ago, ordering Han Qinhu to return at night, Han Qinhu asked about the arrangements of other generals.
A few days passed.
Yang Guang replied, asking other generals to return to their respective areas to garrison, and also ordered many garrison generals along the Yangtze River to guard against Wu Yunzhao and prevent him from counterattack across the river.
In a word.
Yang Guang gave in.
At this moment.
Within the meeting hall.
After listening to what Han Qinhu said, the generals took their orders and left.
On the occasion of parting.
Wang Ke said to Yang Xuangan: "My brother's jurisdiction is south of the Yangtze River. I'm afraid it's going to be troubled these days."
Yang Xuangan smiled and said: "I'm still afraid that he will be troublesome? If nothing happens, how can I get credit?"
Wang Ke laughed loudly and said to Yang Xuangan: "I am happy when I hear about the battle. My brother is quite ancient!"
The two chatted and laughed for a while before leading their troops away.
but.
After Wang Ke left Nanyang City.
He looked at Lielie Feijuan, Han Qinhu Banner, who was moving towards Daxing City, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.
According to what he saw in later history books, he evaluated Yang Guang.
This person is an extremely easy ruler.
now.
Yang Guang easily gave up the pursuit of Wu Yunzhao and others, and instead transferred Han Qinhu back to Daxing City to discuss the war at Tuyuhun in the west.
It shows.
The friction between Tuyuhun and the Sui Dynasty was already very serious.
At least.
The threat posed to Yang Guang by Li Zitong, Wu Yunzhao, and Yang Tong is even greater now!
"What happened in this land of the Western Region?"
Wang Ke rode his war horse and thought secretly while traveling north.
…
To the west of the Sui Dynasty.
In the vast desert.
A majestic country is impressively entrenched.
This country was the Sui Dynasty's powerful enemy in the west - the Tuyuhun Kingdom.
The Tuyuhun Kingdom arose during the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms. It was founded by Murong Tuyuhun, the son of Murong Shegui, the leader of the Murong clan in Xianbei.
Murong Tuyuhun was originally nomadic in the area north of Liji City in Xichang, Liaohe River, and later moved westward to Liangzhou and the Western Regions.
His grandson Murong Yeyan first took the family name from his ancestor.
In the first year of Jin Yixi, its leader Murong Shuluogan claimed to be the Great Chanyu and King Tuyuhun, and he dominated the area.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Tuyuhun tribe was affiliated with the Song, Qi, and Northern Wei successively.
In the first year of Datong in Liang Dynasty, King Murong Kua Lu of Tuyuhun established the Han Dynasty and established his capital in Fuqi City. He pursued a good-neighbor policy and intermarryed with Xiliang Kingdom, Shatuo Kingdom, Eastern Wei Dynasty, and Western Wei Dynasty.
By the Sui Dynasty.
Tuyuhun is divided into two.
One group was led by its Khan Murong Shiyun, with Shanshan as the center, and later surrendered to Tubo, serving as Tubo's pioneer to the Western Regions.
One group was dominated by Murong Shiyun's son Murong Shun, with Fuqi City as the center and surrendered to the Sui Dynasty.
The two families were hostile to each other and competed to attack each other.
During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian.
Murong Shiyun led an army of light cavalry to advance rashly, trying to sneak attack Murong Shun and reunify Tuyuhun.
But.
Murong Shun's famous general Tuoba Mumi was very powerful. He set up an ambush in the West Sea, defeated Murong Shiyun's troops, and shot Murong Shiyun on the battlefield.
After Murong Shiyun's death, Tuyuhundun in the west was in chaos. The Tubo, Xiliang, and Shatuo kingdoms from outside invaded with their troops and attacked Murong Shun on the charge of parricide.
Murong Shun was shocked when he saw this. He hurriedly compiled a book and asked the Sui Dynasty for support, and was willing to become a naturalized person, but was not accepted by the Sui Dynasty.
finally.
Murong Shun was pursued and killed by the Western Region Allied Forces.
Tuoba Mumi fled and was nowhere to be found.
The country of Tuyuhun was divided up by several other families, and the former famous nobles in the country became the swords and ministers in the hands of other forces.
If it develops according to this trajectory.
Sooner or later, Tuyuhun will be completely destroyed by the surrounding forces.
but.
But unexpectedly at this moment.
Among the famous families in Tuyuhun, a strong man suddenly fell from the sky.
This family gave birth to a powerful family, named Yao Luo Ge.
His ancestors once lived on the coast of the North Sea. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, they joined the Tuyuhun Kingdom and gradually took charge of the military and became a large and important family.
After Murong Shiyun and Murong Shun died one after another, Yaoluoge Shijian, the leader of Yaoluoge clan, surrendered to Xiliang Kingdom.
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva, the son of Yaoluoge Shijian, entered the central army of Xiliang Kingdom because of his bravery, strategizing, love for hunting, taking the lead in wars, and being invincible.
According to legend.
When this Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva was born.
Yaoluo Ge Shijian's wife once dreamed of a big fish with two horns on its head, swaying its fins and shaking scales and swimming to the place where the gods were worshiped. It swam away after a long time.
Yaoluo Ge Shijian was very surprised when he heard this, so he asked Wu Zhu about it.
Wu Zhu said: "This is a good sign."
Another day.
Yaoluo Ge Shijian's wife dreamed of the strange fish again, but this time, the strange fish turned into a human. He was holding something in his left hand, about the size of half an egg. The sight was attractive, and he said to Yaoluoge Shijian's wife: "This is the essence of the sun. If you eat it, you will give birth to a noble son."
Subsequently.
Yao Luoge Shijian's wife woke up with a start and then felt pregnant.
Thirteen months later, Yaoluoge Shijian's wife gave birth to a son, Yaoluoge Bodhisattva.
…
Back to the present.
Following Yaoluoge Bodhisattva, he took charge of the central army of Xiliang Kingdom.
Ambition gradually grew in his heart.
Right now.
Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian passed away.
Jin Wang Yang Guang succeeded the Sui Dynasty and became Emperor Daye of the Sui Dynasty.
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva used an excuse to raise troops and march eastward to investigate the dynamics of the Sui Dynasty. He led 50,000 troops from his headquarters to the territory before Tuyuhun.
By this time.
He finally showed his claws.
turn out to be.
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva had already contacted the Sogdians in Tuyuhun, and the An family, a powerful family among the Sogdians, surrendered at the feet of Yaoluoge Bodhisattva.
They cooperated internally and externally, and launched a sudden attack one night, killing all the soldiers and horses of Xiliang who were not close followers of Yaoluoge Bodhisattva.
Since then.
This army and horse that originally belonged to Xiliang fell completely into the hands of Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva.
Got this army.
Yaoluoge Bodhisattva immediately began his own journey of conquering all directions.
He first defeated the soldiers and horses of Xiliang and Shatuo with lightning speed, and later made Tubo retreat.
Naturally, the Three Kingdoms were not convinced when they suffered setbacks.
then.
Many forces sent out troops together to form a coalition, totaling 100,000 people, preparing to surround Yaoluoge Bodhisattva.
However.
Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva is extremely powerful.
He led five thousand cavalry to Mahui Mountain to set up an ambush. When the 100,000 allied troops from the three countries arrived, he suddenly rushed out and cut off the enemy troops from the flanks. Then he attacked in all directions, beheaded the generals and captured the flag. With only five thousand cavalry, he Killed and defeated an army of 100,000 people.
The Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms fled in panic and were chased by Yaoluo Ge Bodhisattva. They pursued them all the way to the foothills of Tianshan Mountain and captured a large number of people before stopping.
This battle.
The reputation of Yaoluoge Bodhisattva was great.
He set up a tooth flag on the Dule River, called himself Khan, restored the Tuyuhun Kingdom, and forced the three kingdoms to surrender.
at this time.
The territory of Tuyuhun extends from Xiping to the west of Qiang City, to the east of Qiemo, to the south of Qilian, and to the north of Snow Mountain. It is four thousand miles from east to west and two thousand miles from north to south. It has a population of one million and hundreds of thousands of troops. It is very powerful. .
Now.
The mere land of the Western Region can no longer satisfy Yaoluoge Bodhisattva's ambitions.
His eyes looked towards the territory of the huge empire to the east.
