That night Yang Ji had a beautiful dream. He dreamed that he and Xiao Ying were entering the bridal chamber. The moment the two of them kissed each other, the blood hidden in Yang Ji's body completely exploded, and his body also reacted instinctively.
Just when he was about to peel Xiao Ying into a little white sheep, he woke up from the dream. Xiao Ying seemed to have turned into Liu Rumei. A fragrant and elegant fragrance lingered around the end of his nose. He glanced at it vaguely and saw Liu Rumei's beautiful dimple full of worry was close at hand, her delicate and flawless eyebrows were slightly twisted, and her pair of big black eyes were full of anxiety.
"Ru Mei? Why is it you?" Yang Ji called out in a daze.
During these days, Yang Ji has been in a state of high tension, not even daring to sleep too hard. Today, he suddenly defeated a powerful enemy and his tense heartstrings relaxed, so tonight not only can he sleep peacefully, but he can also I had such an ambiguous dream.
"It's me!" Liu Rumei said anxiously, "Sir, the generals have an urgent military situation and want to see you. It seems that there is a large-scale invasion by the Turkic army."
"What?" Yang Ji woke up completely. He jumped up and asked, "When did it happen?"
According to their calculations, Ashina Budu had no way to retreat and nowhere to escape. Even if he wanted to escape, he would break out from Qimin Khan's side because the army there was not only weaker than the Sui army, but also It was Ashina's shortcut back to the grassland. That guy actually sacrificed the near and far for a night attack on the Sui army, which was good at night fighting and was heavily guarded. Wasn't he looking for death?
"This slave doesn't know either!" Liu Rumei whispered.
"Prepare my armor." Yang Ji ordered while putting on his boots.
"Here." Liu Rumei quickly reached for the handkerchief and body armor on the bedside, but Yang Ji happened to stand up at this time, and Liu Rumei grabbed Yang Ji with one hand.
Yang Ji groaned, and his whole body was stunned.
"Young Master, it's easy to hurt yourself when sleeping with a dagger." The light was dim, and Liu Rumei didn't know what she had caught. She continued very firmly: "Young Master, please believe in our abilities. Unless we are all dead, there will be no assassins." Able to walk to your resting place.”
Yang Ji showed a hint of embarrassment: "I was born with this 'dagger', let go first!"
"Ah?" Liu Rumei lowered her gaze, and then realized that the handle of the knife she was holding was not the handle she had imagined, but something unique to men. Liu Rumei's cheeks felt hot, making her feel like her face was As if she was about to start burning, she quickly let go of her hand and took a few steps back quickly, not daring to look at this 'gentleman with hidden weapons' anymore. Her long eyelashes were fluttering, and the mottled firelight refracted to her delicate figure. The body reveals a charming grace.
Yang Ji breathed a long sigh of relief. Due to the angle problem, his "dagger" was almost bent to ninety degrees by Liu Rumei. Fortunately, the quality was very good. As soon as Liu Rumei let go, it stretched straight again, but in this way, It seemed very embarrassing.
He bent over in embarrassment and said with a sneer: "I was just looking at your wonderful skills in practicing Jiu-Jitsu, but you did it directly. I paid you back with interest..."
"Young Master, stop talking!" Liu Rumei lowered her eyes, her cheeks flushed, wishing she could find a hole to hide in immediately, and quickly changed the subject: "The generals are still waiting for Young Master."
"You're right!" Yang Ji turned sideways, took out the handkerchief he used as inner armor, and quickly put it on.
Liu Rumei endured her shame and helped Yang Ji put on the special black armor, which was priceless but lighter and stronger than the Mingguang Armor.
With the cover of this mysterious armor, Yang Ji's embarrassment was finally not obvious. He picked up his helmet and Qilin sword and walked towards the brightly lit front tent.
All the generals in the tent put on armor. When they saw Yang Ji coming, they all raised their hands and saluted: "See King Wei."
This was a formal occasion, so even Yang Lun bowed respectfully and positioned himself behind Shi Wansui.
"Tell me, what happened?" Yang Ji sat down and asked doubtfully.
"King Wei, Ashina Budu is about to escape!" Shi Wansui cupped his hands and said: "In front of a stick of incense, our army's scouts came to report that the door of the Turkic army camp was wide open and the whole army rushed this way. However, at the age of twenty Here, the army continued to move forward, but the rear army of about 20,000 people broke away from the army and quietly went northwest. Your Royal Highness, the last general, is willing to be the vanguard to pursue Ashina Budu."
There was something strange about this matter, but now that it had come to this, Yang Ji had no reason to let tens of thousands of enemy troops run away openly under his eyes. He immediately nodded and said: "General Shi, Prince Teng, you two Let me lead my soldiers to take a look; remember, if the enemy forces attack with all their strength, they will mainly kill them by cruising around and do not fight hard. I will make a decision after I arrive with the army later!"
"General, take the order!" Shi Wansui and Yang Lun clasped their fists excitedly and took the order.
At this time, Li Jing said: "Your Highness, Ashina Budu is trying to escape!"
"They want to escape." Yang Ji looked at Li Jing strangely. This was very obvious. Wasn't Li Jing talking nonsense?
"General Shi and King Teng sent troops this time. Although they cannot catch up to Ashina, they can achieve another great achievement."
Li Jing did not explain much, and followed Yang Ji and others to mobilize their troops and horses to go out of camp to pursue them. Soon after the army chased them out, they saw Turkic soldiers kneeling in front of them everywhere, asking to surrender.
Yang Ji understood what Li Jing meant, and said with a wry smile: "Ashina Budu is abandoning the army and running away, cutting off his tail to survive. He has already fled with his elite soldiers, and our army may not be able to catch up."
Although Yang Ji saw through Ashina Budu's intention, there was nothing he could do about it. He abandoned such soldiers all at once, seriously slowing down their marching speed. Even if he saw through it, there was nothing he could do. There were too many people chasing him. I definitely can't catch up, there are fewer people going, maybe they are delivering food.
In this matter, Yang Ji had to admire Ashina Budu's courage and determination. It was one thing to be able to see his own situation clearly, but it was another thing to be able to cut off the wrist of a strong man so decisively. Yang Ji asked himself, if it were him, he would definitely not abandon tens of thousands of his soldiers.
"Your Highness, please surrender these surrendered troops first. And Ashina Budu lost these surrendered troops and abandoned the army in full view of the public. Even if he fled to the Turkic tent, it would be useless." Li Jing said with a smile, Then he frowned and said, "It's just that Qimin Khan won't give up."
Yang Ji said with a smile: "Then let him catch up. Whether he can catch up or not is his own business."
Judging from the current situation, Bujia Khan's power east of Jinshan is already like mustard. No matter how courageous Tanhan Khan, Ashina Huaide, and Ashina Budu are, their strength is there. , being able to control the Great Lakes Region and the Great River Region is already quite a remarkable ability, but it is absolutely impossible to unify the East/Turks. Even if they want to fight back in the future, they must first wipe out Xue Yantuo, Xianbei and other tribes in the Great Lakes area, and then kill Qimin Khan before they can reach the Sui border. But do they have this ability?
As for Qimin Khan who occupied the south of the Dahe District, he was plotted by the Sui Dynasty this time. Not only did he lose his troops, but he also offended Xue Xuecang. Without the support of the Sui Dynasty, he could have unified the country with just the force in his hands. Not Eastern/Turkic. The Tiele people, living between the remaining forces of Bujia Khan and Qimin Khan, were not in a good situation either.
This means that the pattern of the Three Kingdoms of East/Turk has been established. If Xue Yantuo, who is trying to enter the Great Lakes region, and the Xianbei and other tribes in the Great Lakes region are counted as two major forces, then East/Turk is the situation of the "Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period".
Yang Ji didn't know that Bujia Khan in history was also in chaos this year. All Tiele tribes got rid of his rule and surrendered to Qimin Khan. Bujia Khan led his elite troops to the west to Tuyuhun, and then went to fight with his grandson Guishe. The Khans joined together, and the huge tribes left behind were all owned by Qimin Khan, resulting in the unification of the Eastern Turks under Qimin Khan. Qimin Khan easily obtained the power of Bujia Khan and Tiele without any bloodshed, giving him millions of people, and soon became the biggest threat to the northern Sui Dynasty.
And now, Yang Ji not only annihilated hundreds of thousands of Turkic people, but also killed the very important Great Lakes area, leaving corpses everywhere and rivers of blood. He broke the backbone of the Eastern Turks; the most important thing is This battle also killed Bujia Khan, so that the elites under his rule did not go to the Western Turks as in history, but continued to stay in the Eastern Turks. This also caused the Ashina family to confront each other. The situation continues in the East/Tujue; it can be said that the huge damage caused by his battle to the East/Turke far exceeds the automatic evacuation in the history of Bujia Khan.
The only difference between the two is that even Yang Ji, a time traveler, doesn't know it, let alone others.
Next, Yang Ji commanded the army to collect the surrendered troops, while Shi Wansui and Yang Lun asked for orders to pursue Ashina Budu. Yang Ji also wanted to further expand the victory, so he asked them to pursue with their elite cavalry. The two followed Ashina. They followed the traces left by Budu, but in the end they only brought back more than 30,000 war horses carrying grain.
However, Ashina Budu led an army with one man and three horses. When they heard that the pursuers were coming, they abandoned all their extra horses. The mighty horses blocked the Sui army's pursuit. When Shi Long live, Yang Lun gathers his war horses, and Ashina Budu has already fled.
When they returned with their troops, they reunited and escorted a large number of prisoners toward Datong City.
Along the way, listening to Zhang Xutuo, Yin Shishi and others introducing the war that took place around Datong City, I realized that in addition to the battle where Yin Shishi defeated the vanguard, many things that no one knew about happened on the road that lasted hundreds of miles. Interception battles were small in scale but very tragic. During the war, many heroic stories emerged of those who fought for every inch of territory and fought to the death. The distance from the Turkic Camp to Datong City was even more littered with corpses, the stench filled the sky, and even the ground was stained black with solidified blood.
Although he already knew that the war here was very tragic, Yang Ji did not expect it to reach this point. Yang Ji stayed in Ganzhou, Zhang Xutuo, Yin Shishi, Liu Quan, Zhang Dinghe, and Wei Yun stayed in Datong City. Qi, Yang Shanhui, Li Jing and others are all rare talents, but even with such a lineup relying on the right location, they can still fight to such an extent, which shows how brutal the war is.
Yang Ji looked at the dead bodies on the ground and had no time to clean them up, so he said to Yin Shishi and Yang Shanhui: "General Yin, Yang Mincao."
"The last general/humble post is here." Yin Shishi and Yang Shanhui hurriedly rode forward.
"Dead corpses can easily cause plague, and the soldiers also need to rest. You two immediately organize the prisoners to burn the corpses together. This must be completed within today."
After ancient wars, large-scale plagues usually occurred. Some people said that it was God's warning and punishment, and then asked the emperor to hold prayer ceremonies such as offering sacrifices to heaven. But this kind of plague was actually caused by too many corpses and not being processed in time. trigger.
Similar theories also emerged in this era. Many famous doctors believed that plagues were prone to occur in places with many corpses. However, due to underdeveloped communications and too few books carrying knowledge, the people were in a state of ignorance, so most people did not know about the plague. Because of the outbreak, in ignorance, they blamed it all on God's sin.
"Yes!" Yin Shishi and Yang Shanhui bowed and left.
Yang Ji then said to Wang Xingben: "General Wang, you lead the left army and the slave army to assist in the defense. If any prisoners dare to make trouble, they may be lazy and escape, and they will be killed without mercy."
"As ordered." Wang Xingben bowed and retreated.
. . . . . .
With the return of Yang Ji, this war that changed the relationship between the Sui Dynasty and the Turkic Khanate, changed the Turkic Khanate, and changed the Eastern/Turkic pattern ended with a complete victory for the Sui Dynasty.
In this battle, Bujia Khan mobilized a total of 350,000 troops. In the end, less than 60,000 people fled back to the grassland one after another (including Xue Xuecang), and the rest either died in the battle. , or were captured by Sui Dynasty and Qimin Khan, and even Bujia Khan, the Great Khan of the Turkic Khanate, suffered misfortune in this battle.
With the death of Bujia Khan, who represented the orthodox Great Khan, the Turkic Khanate, which had long existed in name only, was officially split into the East and West Turks, and within the East and West Turks, they were in chaos with rampant forces and frequent wars.
However, the Sui army also paid a heavy price in this battle. More than 31,000 defenders, civilians, and craftsmen were killed or injured in Datong City. Adding in the casualties of Yang Ji, Shi Wansui, and Duan Wenzhen, the number of casualties More than 40,000 people. However, compared with the heavy cost of the Turkic Army and the Great Lakes Region, the tens of thousands of casualties suffered by the Sui Dynasty were somewhat insignificant.
This brilliant victory also made Yang Ji, the head coach of this campaign, famous and powerful all over the world; Zhang Xutuo, who won the Datong offensive and defensive battle, Yinshishi, who defeated 3,000 to 50,000, and Duan Wenzhen, who defeated the Turkic divisions twice. Also entered the ranks of famous generals.
At about the same time, a stalemate and bloody battle broke out between Yishubo and Tanhan Khan and Ashina Huide. Just as the two sides were about to engage in a decisive battle, Xianbei and other troops took over the Kyrgyz Basin and Nipu Chuluo in the Great Lakes region. The Khan killed Xue Yantuo, whose troops were empty.
There was a fire in their respective backyards, and there was a tacit understanding of the strike. Yishubo, who could not get any benefits, lost tens of thousands of corpses, and left the Great Lakes area in dejection to fight against Nichuluo Khan. Tanhan Khan's side went south to fight with the Xianbei and other tribes, and pushed back the Xianbei and other tribes who were fighting on their own to the Shargayin Basin of Har Lake, Har Wusu Lake and Dele Lake.
All ministries met urgently in Jingguan on the shores of Har Lake, and elected Murong Bei, the head of the Xianbei tribe, as the leader to continue to contend with the Turks. As for Bujia Khan's remaining forces in the East/Turks, Ashina Huaide, the son of Bujia Khan, was honored as the Great Khan, making him the leader of this force.
Except for Chief Xue Yantuo Yi Shibo and Western Turk Tan Khan Khan who continue to fight, the other major grassland forces involved in this war have entered a tense and busy rest period. Whoever completes the consolidation first will take the initiative in the war.
In order to commend the outstanding performance of the Sui soldiers and civilians in this battle, Yang Jian first removed the mediocre Qu Tutong from the post of general manager of Ganzhou and appointed Zhang Xutuo as the general manager of Ganzhou. The casual officials were also promoted from Yitong Sansi to Kaifu. The three divisions of Yitong were given the title of Zhang Ye, the founding county uncle; the vacant Jianliangzhou Sima was appointed by Yin Shishi, a soldier with outstanding performance, and the soldier Cao by Wang Xingben... The others also received reasonable rewards, and at the same time, they were rewarded with silk silk for the fighting soldiers and civilians. Four hundred thousand horses, tens of millions of dollars, and Ganzhou's tax exemption for three years; the news spread to Ganzhou, and the whole state celebrated with joy.
On the other hand, Yang Ji, the coach, was not promoted at all. He was only given ten thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand bolts of white silk, one hundred thousand stones of millet, and five gold and silver vases each filled with pearls. He and Zhang Xutuo were also given , Yin Shishi, and Liu Quan entered the court on behalf of Liangzhou's military and civilians and accepted rewards from the court.
