Bu Lujin was the chief of the Atuo tribe of the Xi tribe, and was conferred the title of Xi tribe by Dongfang Khan.
Of course, this does not mean that he is the co-leader of the Xi tribe. Although the Xi tribe is not big, it is impossible for two people to have the final say.
Some nobles among them have marriage relationships with fellow Khitans in the east or north. A Turkic general's title cannot make them obey.
However, Bu Lujin saw this expedition to the Sui Dynasty as an opportunity for the rise of the Atuo tribe, so he personally led his troops across the mountains to attack the Sui people. Needless to say, his idea was to use the Turks
The power of the people subdued all the tribes, making him a worthy general of the Xi tribe.
There is no shortage of ambitious people in the world, and Bu Lujin is just one of them.
His ambitions are not big, but they are definitely not small. His long-term plan is to let the Xi tribe completely break away from the control of the Khitans and integrate into the powerful Turks.
It has to be said that as the Turks become more and more powerful, they have a great impact on these ethnic groups scattered in the northeast.
This cannot be summed up by saying that the Sui Dynasty lost its deer and the whole world drove it away. As a Central Plains empire, it lost some of the most basic things. Everyone wanted to bite off a piece of its body to satisfy themselves.
own appetite.
Bu Lujin wanted to get something he wanted from this war against the Sui people. Of course, the most direct benefit was the wealth of the Sui people.
Slaves, war horses, cattle, sheep, grain, and even those precious treasures said to be hidden in the Sui emperor's palace, all emerged in Bu Lujin's mind one by one, and they could never be taken away.
He looked back on the horse and looked at the flag behind him, which could be called a gorgeous battle flag compared to his own. He thought about what kind of gift he would give to the Turkic noble in the future to put a smile on his face.
?
Just as I was thinking about it, someone came in a hurry to report. In the open area ahead, which is the end of the road, someone had already climbed ahead.
After hearing the report from the rangers, Bu Lujin still couldn't believe it. When he saw with his own eyes the golden wolf flag fluttering in the wind in the distance, he looked behind him in surprise and ordered someone to invite the Turkic envoy.
Without the arrival of a messenger, a dark-colored boy and his entourage were brought to him.
From beginning to end, all he saw was the tip of the other person's chin.
The fluent Turkic language, gorgeous accessories and clothing, and most importantly, the arrogant aura made Bu Lujin have no choice but to believe that the Turkic royal court sent such a team to lead them to attack the Sui people.
The Turkic envoys who were invited felt no different from his feelings.
One hundred Turkic vassals, leading four thousand Turkic cavalry, came here first, waiting for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements...
The Turkic envoy sent by Dongfang Khan to the Xi tribe was surprised, but then this envoy with a good mind made up everything.
He heard about the fight in the royal court. It was because the royal court was afraid of Turli Khan...
He didn't want to think about it anymore. The battles between the big shots were all bloody, and the appearance of Fu ion here was enough to confirm the determination of the Wang Ting. Maybe when the Wang Ting would...
Li Po's statement has been verified again. Most Turks' brains are not very easy to use. It is not too difficult to deceive them.
A golden wolf flag and two thousand Turkic soldiers were enough to convince the "guests" from afar that these four thousand troops had really taken the lead out of Feihukou and had been waiting for them for a long time.
Rather than saying that they were confused, it would be better to say that they were just surprised for a while...
Of course, no one can guarantee that the Turkic soldiers will serve the Hengan Army honestly.
Therefore, this operation is very risky. Of course, according to Li Po's order to Luo Shixin, if you can't deceive me, you can guard it. People who come will always have doubts. If something goes wrong, take advantage of it.
During the preparation period, a surprise attack is launched immediately. A melee is inevitable, but there is also a high chance of victory.
Moreover, according to Li Po's estimation, the people coming would not be just one group. The scattered Khitan and Xi tribes would be difficult to gather into a large army.
He was wrong about this. When the Xi tribe came to the south, it really grew in size. Nearly ten thousand cavalrymen, wearing pointed hats, dirty leather robes, and holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, came.
Arriving at Feihukou, we set up camp at the foot of Feihu Ridge.
There were so many Xi people that Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng had to discuss it. The two of them unanimously put aside Li Po's idea of quietly killing these intruders in Beihu.
That night, the handsome "Turkic royal family" warmly invited the Turkic envoys and Xi tribe leaders to enter his tent for drinking.
In fact, it was not until entering the tent with gold edging that the guests truly saw the face of this Turkic royal family.
When they met this tall and handsome Turkic royal family, the guests had no doubts at all. They were attracted by the gorgeous decoration in the tent and the exquisite accessories and attire of the royal family. They looked like the noble and extremely arrogant Ashi.
That tribe offered their respect and loyalty.
Even the Turkic envoy was no exception, and he even believed that the distinguished man in front of him should be a close relative of the Great Khan. Otherwise, his eyes would not be blue, and his behavior would never be so "elegant"
”.
Everything that the gods have given to the Ashina people has been reflected in this nobleman. He is really a jealous and enviable person, the messenger sighed in his heart.
It can be said that as one of the many nephews of Dongfang Khan, he did not have the ability to expose the disguise of a Turkic relative who was related by marriage to the Turkic royal family.
He had never even set foot in the royal court.
They lost their most basic vigilance, and the ending was destined to be tragic. Li Po used his cunning brain to create another murderous case. The only difference was that with the increasing number of accomplices, this time he did not
Just do it yourself.
Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng did not waste even a moment, because huge risks also hung over their heads like sharp knives.
Under the bright moon, the drunken nobles were decapitated by the soldiers who broke into their tents, just like their retinue.
After that, Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng were not in a hurry to raid the Xiren camp.
There is really no room for night fighting in a place like Feihukou.
The two of them were unwilling to injure themselves too much, nor to let go of too many enemies, so they had no choice but to be more patient.
The sky was dimming, and the four thousand cavalrymen who had been waiting all night swarmed out at the sound of orders and rushed towards the unsuspecting Xiren camp.
During this battle, the screams of Xi people and the sound of horse hooves mixed together, shaking the mountains and rising straight into the sky.
Many of the leaderless Xi people were trampled to death under the hooves of horses during the surprise attack. Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng, who had already sealed off the mountain road to the north, led the Turkic soldiers and two thousand soldiers of the Hengan Army.
They went back and forth to recruit people, until the Xi people were killed and blood flowed all over the ground, and the remaining people knelt down to beg for surrender, and then they gradually stopped.
In this battle, except for some Xi people who abandoned their horses and fled to Feihu Ridge, nearly ten thousand Xi people died in the battle of Feihukou.
This is not a classic battle between the soldiers of the Central Plains Empire and the Northern Hu in Feihu. There is no three-dimensional defense with clear levels of defense, and there is no fierce fighting that makes people's blood boil.
But the result of the battle was enough to put most of the Central Plains Emperor's troops to shame. The nearly 10,000 Northern Hu cavalrymen were annihilated at the foot of Feihu Ridge, except for two or three kittens that escaped and more than 2,000 people who were captured and survived.
Heng'an Town Army licked his bloody paws with satisfaction and began to admire his trophies.
Groups of war horses, cattle and sheep, as well as the best slaves, and most importantly, the severed heads of the Xiren nobles, made Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng overjoyed.
The Turkic soldiers were also beaming with joy. They had no sense of sorrow or guilt of fighting against their own family. They only thought that after this battle, they would be able to completely get rid of their status as slaves.
They should be able to own a small piece of pasture and marry a Sui woman as their wife. Of course, that is the best outcome. Even if they cannot marry a Sui woman, they should be able to have a woman among the slaves and have children.
After staying in Yunnei for several years, there are not many people who want to flee north. Being able to become slaves is actually the biggest wish of many of them.
I am afraid that as long as the Heng'an Town Army can continue to be victorious like this, they will be the most loyal and brave warriors, even much stronger than many Sui people.
After the first battle, in addition to immediately sending people to report their victory in Jicheng, Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng waited at Feihukou for a long time with peace of mind, hoping to catch a few more fish. Apparently, such an easy victory made them a little addicted.
.
Unfortunately, Bu Lujin led his army south and had already hollowed out many Xi tribes in the west. He wanted to satisfy his ambition, but he did not expect that he ended up giving a generous gift to the Sui people.
Therefore, on this road, no people appeared, and the Xi tribe suffered heavy losses, but it created an opportunity for the Khitan people to annex the Xi tribe again.
As the war progressed in late autumn, the legend of the Urhai people spread again among the Khitan people.
Some people swore that they were descendants of the Urhai people and worshiped the sun, moon and stars. They often worshiped toward the east, danced looking at the sky, and were proud to die at sunset. Obviously, when they returned from Liaodong,
, that broken flag of the sun, moon and stars plays a key role in their beliefs.
……………………
When the good news came, Li Po breathed a sigh of relief. At least by the end of autumn this year, Zhuo County was stable. If the Khitans in the northeast wanted to attack Zhuo County, they would have to wait until early winter, and if they dared to defend Zhuo County,
After staying under the city for a few days, Li Po didn't mind burying them all in the wind and snow of Hebei winter.
