Let’s talk about the Turks.
Since that day, Ashinayong and Yulu were in trouble.
Qimin Khan Ashina Ranqian completely seized the power in the country and slowly began to implement the way of governing the country.
Internally, he studied the system of the Sui Dynasty in the south, reactivated the Tiger Division, Eagle Division, and Leopard Division, trained the army, selected talents, and gradually restored national strength.
Externally, Ashina Rangan tightly locked the Northern Liao Kingdom that had taken advantage of the opportunity before.
The Northern Liao Kingdom was severely damaged by the Sui army, and its national strength never recovered.
Ashina Ranqian saw the opportunity and sent his trusted bodyguard Ashina Dubi as commander to lead the Tiger Division and Leopard Division to attack the Northern Liao Dynasty and force them to surrender.
Because of his meritorious service, Ashina Rangan was named Little Khan - Jieli Khan.
As for the weak tribes such as the Xi tribe and the Khitan in the east, and the weak tribes such as Tiele and Xue Yantuo in the west.
Ashina Ranqian also sent his relatives, Ashina Duoji and Ashina Dingjue, to manage them respectively.
in.
Ashina Duoji was named Tuli Khan by Ashina Rangan, commanding the Xi tribe, Khitan tribe, etc., and guarding the east.
Ashina Ranjue, on the other hand, commanded Tiele, Xue Yantuo and other nine tribes in the west. He was named Bujia Khan by Ashina Rangan. He had tens of thousands of cavalry under his command, all of whom were elite Eagle Masters.
Since then.
The Turkic state was revived again, powerful in northern Xinjiang, and divided into one side.
but.
The Turks still maintained the necessary respect for the Sui Dynasty, and trade with the Sui Dynasty was proceeding in an orderly manner.
This is why brothers Shi Danai and Shi Dayi were able to learn so much about the national affairs of the Turkic countries.
Speaking of which.
Xu Maogong pointed to the map on the desk and continued: "Think of that time when the north and the south were in chaos, Rouran was the leader in the north, and the Turkic Khan Ashina Tumen worked hard to conquer Rouran, and finally pacified Rouran and took control of the north... Then At that time, the Turkic Kingdom reached Liaodong in the east and the desert in the west, like a huge bowl, shrouding the head of China in the Central Plains..."
As he spoke, Xu Maogong gently used his hands to mark out a large area of land - exactly the territory owned by the Turks when they were most powerful.
"And Ashina Ranqian is quite wise. Now that he has unified the country, he must be ready to restore the glory of his ancestors. If the lord goes north, he can lobby the Turkic Khan about this matter."
Then, Xu Maogong looked at Wang Ke and said slowly.
"Hmm... That's a good statement! In the edict, the emperor also promised to cede the northern part of Tuyuhun to the Turks for management... However, if this happens, the Turks' national power will become stronger again."
Wang Ke nodded slightly and said.
But.
After he spoke, his tone became a little more solemn.
"So, when my lord goes north this time, in addition to allying with the Turks, he also needs to check the Turks' military. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle!"
Xu Maogong said with a smile.
"What? Shiji thinks that this Turk will become our enemy?"
Wang Ke smiled slightly and immediately asked Xu Mao for justice.
"It's not that I think so, but it's the world's affairs. It has been like this since ancient times."
Xu Maogong replied.
"Forget it! I've noted this down!"
Wang Ke nodded slightly and said to Xu Maogong.
Subsequently.
He paused, looking over the faces of Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Xu Maogong, and then said: "This time I am going north, Shiji is with me. Xuancheng and Xuanling are handling government affairs at home, so don't relax. "
"Subordinates, please obey!"
Upon hearing Wang Ke's words.
Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling slightly cupped their hands.
Xu Maogong touched his beard and showed a slight smile on his face.
Wait until the next day.
Wang Ke summoned his generals to discuss matters.
He talked about the mission to go north to form an alliance with the Turks, and at the same time looked at the heroes below.
"Every general is at home, performing his duties, training troops and horses, and pacifying the bandits. Don't let your guard down... The four people traveling north with me this time are Yuan Tong, Jin Wuzhu, Dai Tianxing, and Wang Tianyou!"
He glanced at everyone.
Wang Ke decided to let his subordinates stay in the pass and develop their own power silently.
The people who followed him north were all led by his personal guards.
Wang Tianyou, Yuan Tong, Jin Wuzhu, and Dai Tianxing all had smiles on their faces when they saw Wang Ke asking them to go north together.
Since then.
Civil and military officials have settled in.
Wang Ke asked Wang Tianyou to order three thousand cavalry to be at his disposal at any time, and they gathered in Youzhou City. After staying there for three days, they all left the city and headed north.
…
The vast wind.
Volume anime celestial grass.
What time jackdaws.
Shatter the empty sky.
Youzhou City goes north.
Wang Ke rode on Si unlike, which was covered in black energy. Looking at the empty environment around him, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Although this land is desolate, it is the dividing line between the foreign races and the Chinese land in the north... I wonder how many heroes' bones are buried in this land... It is really respectable and admirable!"
Think of this.
Wang Ke looked far into the distance,
In front of you is the ancient Great Wall, which is carved by knives and axes and mottled by time.
"My lord, after leaving the Great Wall, we will reach the outside of the Great Wall. Should we rest here today, or should we wait until we leave the Great Wall?"
At this moment.
Wang Tianyou, who was originally in front to inquire about the situation, came back on his horse, raised his hands and asked.
"Let's get out of the fortress first!"
Wang Ke waved his hand and said.
"yes!"
When Wang Tianyou heard this, he accepted the order and left.
Subsequently.
The army moved on.
Not for a while.
The soldiers and horses left the Great Wall and went straight into the grassland.
However.
It's evening.
When the soldiers and horses were rounding a grassy slope.
Only the sound of horse hooves could be heard ahead.
Immediately afterwards.
There was billowing smoke and dust.
A group of soldiers and horses came galloping from far to near.
Wang Tianyou was startled, and hurriedly took the gun in his hand and led 300 cavalry forward to check.
but.
When the troops and horses approached.
Wang Tianyou looked at the leading general and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
turn out to be.
This general was none other than Jiang Song, the talented general who was sitting outside the Great Wall and tending the pasture for Wang Ke.
"Brother Jiang, why are you here?"
Saw Jiang Song arriving.
Wang Tianyou was surprised and asked quickly.
"I wonder where my lord is? This place is quite close to the pasture. Why doesn't my lord take a rest in the pasture?"
Jiang Song looked at Wang Tianyou and asked.
"My lord is right behind! Is this place very close to the pastures? I remember that most of the pastures are in Jizhou?"
Wang Tianyou asked rather strangely.
"A few days ago, a group of horse thieves came here and tried to occupy the surrounding pastures. After I heard about it, I came to negotiate with them personally. The leader of the horse thieves was very rude and was stabbed to death by me. The other horse thieves followed suit... …I saw that they were quite brave, so I took them as soldiers and trained them day and night. Naturally, the pasture here became our territory.”
Jiang Song smiled slightly and explained to Wang Tianyou.
"That's it! It seems that Brother Jiang has done great things outside the Great Wall!"
Wang Tianyou laughed loudly and joked.
As he spoke, he led Jiang Song to see Wang Ke.
Wang Ke was very happy when he saw Jiang Song. I also heard that Jiang Song had subdued the horse thieves recently, and he was even more happy.
Therefore.
After the army was reorganized, they headed to the pasture to rest.
A night of silence.
Until the next day.
Wang Ke was about to set off.
Jiang Song's deputy general Wei Bijiang came over at night.
Also coming with him were brothers Shi Danai and Shi Dayi.
These few claimed that they were familiar with the terrain outside the Great Wall, and wanted to go to the Turks with Wang Ke, and they could usually take care of each other.
Wang Ke nodded slightly and agreed immediately.
Since then.
Wei Pijiang, Shi Danai, and Shi Dayi joined the team, accompanied by two thousand soldiers and horses.
Wang Ke took five thousand soldiers and horses and eight generals to march towards the Turks.
on the way.
I left for about four or five days.
This day.
The men and horses were crossing a river beach.
In the dense forest ahead, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly shot out and formed an array on the other side of the river beach. The bows and arrows were immediately raised and aimed at Wang Ke and others.
