"This Khan is here to surrender, not to be exploited. Come quickly, tell the Tang Army that this Khan has surrendered..."
Fuyun Khan originally went to Liangzhou City, hoping to negotiate with Li Ke, the King of Shu, about his surrender, and by the way, get a title of Tang Dynasty, which could be regarded as leaving something for future generations.
Unexpectedly, after he stepped into the Hexi Corridor, there were wolves in front of him and tigers behind him, chasing him and killing him without giving him a chance to surrender.
He had sent people to the Tang Army three times, but they were all shot. The general of the Tang Army said that he wanted to negotiate with Chang'an, which was the front line and the place where the war was fought.
"Report...Khan, the Tang army is coming again!"
Fu Yun sat down on the ground. If he had known this, he would not have surrendered. Even if the Zen position was given to his brother Bozan, he would not have wanted to come here.
"Quick, send the Prime Minister to see this Khan!"
Tianzhu King and Prime Minister Dilian Wu also followed Fuyun Khan into the Hexi Corridor this time.
At this moment, he was panicking. He originally thought that there were not many troops in Hexi, but the stubborn King of Shu deceived them in terms of intelligence.
Chai Shao has 30,000 elites, Qin Qiong has 30,000 elites, Li Daliang has 20,000 elites, damn it, Tyuhun has just brought 50,000 cavalry, which is not enough for you to cut, and he even borrowed 20,000 cavalry from Xue Yantuo.
Let me ask you, is there anyone who bullies others like this?
The Khan, who frightened them, had ignored the threats of the soldiers several times and secretly sent people to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. As a result, the envoys he sent were shot dead.
"I made a miscalculation. I don't dare to risk entering Hexi this time."
Hearing that the Khan was threatening him again, Dilian Wu ordered the army to be on standby at any time. Don't worry about the dog-like Xue Yantuo cavalry. When they come, they will shoot to death.
After ordering the defense mission, Dilian Wu felt angry and angry. Following such a khan would really cost him his life.
Too cowardly.
"I have met the Khan."
"Prime Minister, how is the situation outside?"
"Is the Tang army still unwilling to accept our surrender?" Fu Yun saw the arrival of Lian Wu, and he immediately had a backbone.
"Khan, there is only one way now, which is to retreat southward while fighting, retreat from the direction of Yanzhi Mountain, and then defend. How can we surrender?"
Fu Yun was embarrassed by the Prime Minister's remarks, but he became even more angry in his heart. It was all caused by you group of traitors. Otherwise, this Khan would never have personally conquered the army. This Khan would have escaped long ago.
In the history of Tuyuhun, it experienced three times of annihilation, but it was the Khan who left the green hills without worrying about having no firewood, and finally it rose to prominence.
But this time I was not so lucky.
"Prime Minister, then run away quickly. When we get to Fuqi City, I will grant you the title of King Side by Side."
Dilian Wu glanced at the panicked Fu Yun, and thought to himself, you can pull him down. What right do you have to canonize me? The prince has the final say in Tuyuhun.
But he also wanted to escape back. Even if he was defeated, he could still escape westward to Shanshan City, or he would have to start all over again.
"Don't worry Khan, let's take advantage of the darkness to retreat tonight."
"Okay, okay...Thank you, Prime Minister."
"Come here, give these concubines of this Khan to the Prime Minister, and serve him well tonight."
The corner of Dilian Wu's mouth twitched, I... Damn it, how long has it been? You still rewarded me with women, what are you doing normally?
But he had to accept what the Khan had given him.
After being unable to escape all night, they finally escaped to the vicinity of Yanzhi Mountain, then ran south, passed this lush and mouth-watering prairie, and entered the Tuyuhun territory.
The water and grass here are abundant and it is a natural high-quality pasture. The terrain here is also dangerous and the peaks are protruding. It was an important military place in ancient times and is known as the "throat" of sweet and cool food.
During the Pre-Qin Dynasty, this was the horse farm of the Dayue clan. The Dayue clan relied on the Feng Shui treasure land to emerge suddenly here, established the Yuezhi Kingdom, and controlled the Hexi Corridor.
The First Emperor unified the six kingdoms of the Central Plains, built the Great Wall, and drove the Xiongnu northward. The Huns were forced to have no choice but to bully the Dayue clan better than the Qin Dynasty, so they attacked the Dayue clan.
The Yueshi Kingdom was so bullied by the Xiongnu that the whole country migrated to the west and established the Yueshi Kingdom in the Western Regions.
This geomantic treasure land became a horse breeding land for the Huns.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing, the general of the Hussars, led thousands of cavalry out of Longxi. He beheaded 8,000 Xiongnu cavalry at Yanzhi Mountain and drove the Huns away from here.
Even before they left, they still cried bitterly: Losing my Qilian Mountain will make my six animals unable to rest, losing my Yanzhi Mountain will make my women colorless.
This shows the importance of this place.
From then on, this place became the horse farm of the Han Dynasty. No matter how the dynasties changed, the rulers of the dynasty always tightly held this important military land.
Even military weak countries like the Northern Song Dynasty clung to this treasured land in their heyday.
Li Shimin launched this war to destroy the country, which is inseparable from this horse breeding land.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Eighteenth Route Army rebelled against the king and the Sui Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty could only withdraw its troops. The Yanzhishan garrison also withdrew. See the counter-insurgency mission.
This gave Tuyuhun an opportunity. Fu Yun not only ran back from the Snowy Mountains to restore the country, but also occupied Yanzhi Mountain, a horse breeding place in the Sui Dynasty.
After Li Shimin and his son occupied Guanzhong, despite the tight military situation in Guanzhong, they still sent 10,000 cavalry to Yanzhi Mountain to drive away the Tuyuhun people.
A big battle broke out between the two armies, resulting in heavy casualties. In order to compete for the Central Plains, Li Shimin and his son had to establish a border with Dukou and let Tuyuhun graze in the south.
After the Tang Dynasty unified the Central Plains, Tuyuhun decisively gave in and admitted his status as a vassal state. The Tang Dynasty was too embarrassed to ask for a return to the pastures in the south.
In this way, it became a historical issue, but Li Shimin knew that sooner or later, this place would belong to the Tang Dynasty.
Tuyuhun's army, with more than 40,000 cavalry, marched southward in a mighty manner, but not a single herdsman was seen grazing along the way, let alone a war horse. Normally, there were groups of tens of thousands of war horses grazing here. biquge.biz
At daybreak, the cavalry who were snooping around came back.
But what they brought was not good news. Biandukou was lost, and was guarded by more than 10,000 Tang troops. These Tang troops were dressed in various colors, but they were really fierce. As soon as they arrived at Biandukou, they were chased by those people.
"What? There are Taoist monks?"
"They...what happened?"
The King of Tianzhu was stunned. The regular army of the Tang Dynasty blocked him, and he endured it. Even the local army of the Tang Dynasty blocked him, and he endured it. But a group of monks and Taoists also blocked him, and he couldn't bear it.
"Pass the true order, break through the levels, and kill them all..."
It was outrageous that a group of outsiders came to join in the fun, and he didn't pay attention to these Taoist priests and monks at all.
Because in Tuyuhun, although the status of monks is high, they are the most useless people. On the battlefield, it is their warriors who still rely on them.
"Report..."
"Thirty miles behind, a large number of Tang troops were found, and they are rushing towards us."
"Report, Xue Yantuo's cavalry is found on the left, and there is still ten miles of land."
Dilian Wu: "..."
Fu Yun's face turned pale and he was about to flee back. Why was he blocked again?
It is probably the most uncomfortable thing to give people hope and despair at the same time, and it is also the most devastating.
"Prime Minister, how about... let's surrender!"
The Earthly Witch was immediately furious. We want to fight to the death. Khan, why do you want to weaken the morale of the army?
Are you the Khan of Tuyuhun or a spy sent by the Tang Dynasty?
"Khan, please recognize the reality? Datang will never let you and me go. There is only one fate for you and me, and that is death."
"Pass the true order and escort the Khan to leave first."
"After the left part is cut off, the right part follows its original shape and attacks Biandukou."
After Dilian Wu finished speaking, in front of Fu Yun, an old man in his fifties still asked his subordinates to put on his armor.
If you don’t fight today, you won’t have a chance to fight tomorrow.
