Although Temujin's order had been issued long ago, this time, the Turkic army did not immediately break out of camp.
The nomads have always respected the strong. In the past, Temujin used a strong attitude to destroy Jieli Khan and unify the Turks. These Turkic tribes naturally looked up to him. However, as his several military campaigns against the Sui Dynasty ended in disastrous defeats, his Prestige has been severely damaged.
This time, it was Temujin who promised them to break through Yanmen and capture the Sui Emperor alive. They could obtain countless gold and silk slaves from the Sui Dynasty, as well as strategic materials such as fine iron that were in short supply, so they obeyed Temujin's order. Regardless of the cost, they stormed the fortified Yanmenguan City every day.
But now, their tribes have suffered extremely heavy casualties. The wealth that Temujin mentioned was everywhere but they had to evacuate in a hurry without even seeing a shadow of it. Countless tribal leaders felt that they had been deceived, and all of them had red eyes. There was a loud commotion in the king's tent, demanding that Temujin redeem his original promise, otherwise they would lead his army away immediately.
It is a pity that Temujin, who was frustrated by repeated tricks, was in a very bad mood and did not tolerate these chiefs at all. After all, among the hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops, his direct line still holds the advantage.
After using the most cruel means to execute the two most quarrelsome Turkic chiefs, he finally frightened the others and made them shut up obediently. However, it was obvious that in the difficult situation, Temujin's strong suppression could only It will make these people look for other ideas.
When the Turkic army broke out of the camp and left, four Turkic tribal chiefs secretly sent their nephews to sneak out of the camp to Yanmen to express their surrender to Yang Gao, which completely revealed the reality of Temujin's army.
Although Temujin had previously tried to completely trap Yanmen and cut off all news from the outside world, how could Yang Gao, who had already planned it, make Temujin realize his wish and be prepared for the back-up plan in advance. In fact, during the days when Temujin stormed Yanmen, Yang Gao maintained contact with various armies. Huo Qubing destroyed Temujin's logistics center, and the armies of Han Xin and Fu Youde had rushed to the outskirts of the Turkic army. These things he I received the news early in the morning.
Yang Gao estimated that Temujin learned about the Sui army's movements in the past two days. Based on Temujin's strategy, if he still believed in Ge Shuhan's surrender at this time, he would not be worthy of being called a genius. His only choice. However, the surrender of these tribal chiefs was an unexpected blessing. Although these tribal chiefs did not have many troops, if they suddenly attacked Temujin while the Sui army was encircling and annihilating Temujin, they would definitely be able to kill him. The Sui army reduced many casualties.
At that moment, Yang Gao comforted the nephews and nephews of the clan leader who came to deliver the message with kind words, and asked them to go back and report to their leader to patiently wait for the opportunity anyway. He also rewarded them with some gold and silver. The few of them thanked them profusely and left.
After they left, Yang Gao immediately summoned the general Chang Yuchun and the prime ministers Liu Bowen and Fang Xuanling to come to discuss the matter.
After Yang Gao explained the situation, Chang Yuchun, who was eager to make contributions, immediately called for battle and said: "Your Majesty made many plans to lure Temujin into a trap, but he must not be allowed to escape. The general asked for orders to lead an elite team to pursue the Turkic army first. His Majesty will lead the main force behind and wait for Han Xin, Fu Youde, Fu Youde and Yue Pengju's army to encircle and annihilate the main Turkic force."
"General, don't be impatient!"
Yang Gao smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "Although the Turkic army has suffered heavy losses in attacking the wall for days, there should still be hundreds of thousands of troops at the moment. If we push him too fast, Temujin might just burn the boat. I will fight with you and die together."
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true!"
Liu Bowen and Fang Xuanling nodded together: "At present, Temujin's tribe still has the strength to fight, and we must not underestimate the enemy. Your Majesty is responsible for the weight of the world. If Temujin has no way out, he is in a critical situation. Luan Jia actually took advantage of the traitors of the Li family of the fake Tang Dynasty."
Chang Yuchun stepped back after hearing this. Although he had a hot temper and was a little impulsive, he was not qualified to command thousands of troops if he didn't even have such a sense of the overall situation.
"What's the clever plan of those two beloved ministers?" Yang Gao looked at these two highly intelligent advisers in a deep voice.
Liu Bowen immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think that although the Turkic army is somewhat disorganized at the moment, it has not yet collapsed, especially Temujin's direct lineage, which is still capable of fighting. In view of this situation, I suggest that your Majesty can pass on We summoned three generals, Han Xin, Fu Youde, and Huo Qubing, and deployed a small group of elite troops to continuously harass Temujin on his way home. On the one hand, he delayed Temujin's march to buy time for our army to completely encircle it, and on the other hand, it undermined the morale of the Turkic army."
"Your Majesty, there should be more than four tribes in the Turkic army that are dissatisfied with Temujin."
Fang Xuanling continued: "I thought that while sending elites to attack the Turkic army, I could secretly send people to contact and instigate rebellion and disintegrate the Turkic army from within."
Yang Gao nodded slowly and immediately made arrangements.
. . . . . . . . . .
Han Xin, Fu Youde, and Huo Qubing couldn't help but smile knowingly after receiving Yang Gao's order. In fact, before Yang Gao's decree had arrived, they had already selected elite cavalry from the entire army to set off first. As one of the most famous generals in history, they naturally saw the situation of the Turkic army. Yang Gao also knew well that generals would not accept the orders of foreign kings, so he gave them the right to act expediently before dividing the troops.
. . . . . . . . . .
The Turkic army marched very slowly. Although Temujin knew the importance of soldiers and speed, his subordinates, especially the tribal chiefs with ulterior motives, were extremely uncooperative. Furthermore, the entire Turkic army had been attacking the strong Yanmen Pass wall for several days, injuring many people. There were not a few soldiers. The soldiers were extremely tired and had not been fully repaired. They really didn't have much energy to rush on. Temujin did not dare to push too hard for fear of triggering a mutiny. He could only send people to urge occasionally and hurry along the way.
"Send an order to the entire army to set up camp on the spot, rest for the night and continue on their journey tomorrow!"
As the sun set, the Turkic army, which had been traveling for another day, quickly began to set up tents as if they were being amnesty after Temujin's order.
But before the Turkic soldiers could lie down safely and take a breath, they heard the sound of horseshoe bells, and a group of nearly 10,000 Sui army elite cavalry rushed out of the assassination and launched a fierce attack on the Turkic army.
"Yao Xing of the Great Sui Dynasty is here. The old thief Temujin comes quickly to die!"
The leading general was none other than Yao Xing, the number one warrior in Fu Youde's regiment. He was seen charging forward, waving his sword and shouting loudly to boost morale. His long sword was like the wind, but within a moment, the shining blade was already stained with Turks. Human blood.
