The dull sound of horse hoofbeats sounded again, and the assembled Daizhou army, with a little joy and laziness after victory, stayed away from the grassland like the well-fed wolves.
From the beginning of the war to now, only a little over an hour has passed.
They did not count the results of the battle, but under Li Po's military order not to surrender prisoners, they killed all the living Turkic cavalry and left the grassland where 20,000 Turkic elite cavalry were buried.
In fact, in this battle, the Daizhou Army almost completely wiped out this cavalry army that had made countless military exploits for Dongfang Khan.
Only a few hundred Turkic cavalry who were determined to escape fled to the north without looking back as soon as they were attacked, becoming the survivors of this Turkic cavalry army.
Some black spots gradually appeared in the sky, hovering over the grassland, getting lower and lower, and finally fell in groups.
This is the most annoying creature for prairie people, the vulture. Wherever it appears, death always occurs.
After more than half a day, some herdsmen finally noticed the strange sight here and cautiously came over to watch.
The densely packed vultures are eating ferociously. The smell of blood here can no longer be described in words.
The corpses of humans and horses were no less than those of vultures. They were scattered on this grassland, completely turning it into a typical grassland cemetery.
The frightened herdsmen saw the ubiquitous scimitars and the attire of the corpse, so they turned around and ran away, quickly spreading the news to the south of Aker, which guarded the eastern part of the royal court.
In fact, on the next day, when people were sent to inspect the corpses in the south of Acre, the embarrassed and frightened Ashinakophon was escorted to the city of Dali.
There was no commotion as expected, and Dali City suddenly became quiet.
The Turkic nobles who were preparing to hold a grand alliance began to hesitate and hesitate after the news spread.
The 20,000 Turkic knights who should have rushed to Dali City in advance will not come, so the alliance...cannot see the birth of a tough master of the royal court, so what is the meaning of the alliance?
Many people's minds suddenly become erratic.
Although the southern part of Acre quickly sent people to clean up the battlefield, many cronies of the royal court nobles still came to this grassland and brought everything here back to the royal court.
The news became more and more real as it spread, and within a few days, everyone knew about it. No one cared about who was fueling the flames.
In fact, Ashina Erivo, who was about to ascend the throne of Khan, suffered a heavy blow. His confidant general, Krushu was killed, and one of his powerful arms was buried with him.
Thousands of Turkic knights.
If Shibi Khan is still there, there is no need to ask at this time. There will be no other voices in the royal court. The angry Turkic royal court will definitely send a large army to destroy the murderers and chop off the heads of those who dare to challenge the majesty of the Turkic royal court.
.
This humiliation can only be washed away with the blood of the enemy.
But now, at the time when the throne of khan is being passed down, the new khan has not yet received the blessing of the gods, the loyalty of the tribal leaders, and officially ascended the throne of khan, so the situation suddenly becomes complicated.
In fact, everything that happened is not surprising. The casualties of 20,000 cavalrymen seem to be nothing in the Turks who claim to have millions of armored men.
However, the status of the Turkic Jingqi in the Turks was similar to that of the Sui people's standing army in the south. For the little khan, their role was even more important.
The most powerful and elite standing military forces of the Turks, with the vassals and the Turkic elite cavalry guarding the royal court at the top, together they formed the Khan's personal army.
When the Khan's throne was stable, they were the Khan's most loyal military force in the Turkic Khanate. Their status was equivalent to that of the Sui emperor's valiant cavalry.
In fact, it does not lie in how powerful they are in combat, but in the fact that they are filled with noble children and can provide strong support to the Khan when the Turkic political structure is stable.
No army from the grassland tribe dared to attack them on the grassland, because it was a real hornet's nest. With one stab, you would have no hiding place on the grassland.
Next, there is the Little Khan's personal army. They are actually composed of two parts.
The vassals stationed by the royal court around the young Khan and the Turkic elite cavalry who were loyal to them formed the personal army of the young Khan.
When they lost the protection of the fine cavalry, the little khans seemed to have lost an arm.
Just like Jieli Khan Ashina Dubi, in the battle of Wuzhou Mountain, he lost his most reliable military force, so he was placed under house arrest in the royal court.
In fact, it means that the Turkic Khanate had a much more difficult time maintaining a standing army than the Sui people, but they still had a standing army of more than 100,000.
This is where the Turkic Khanate is stronger than the Huns and Rourans, because they are much faster in military mobilization and can ensure their combat effectiveness. At the same time, they can also support several such armies to suppress rebellion.
A weapon for attacking the enemy, of course, it is also one of their more fatal weaknesses.
Now, Ashina Allivo has lost his arm, as if he had been hit head-on.
Now Ashina Elivo has lived in the palace of Dali City, receiving nobles like a Turkic Khan, and the only difference seems to be a crown.
But before the crown symbolizing the Turkic kingship was placed on his head, he received such bad news.
Of course he wanted to hide it, but those hateful enemies just threw the bodies of the Turkic warriors on the grassland and let people watch.
The news spreads quickly everywhere like the new wind on the grassland.
After the death of Shibi Khan, the smile that had been hanging on Ashina Ellivo's face, which was a little sad but also made people feel confident, finally disappeared.
He experienced the most proud period of his life, but it was very short-lived.
Ashina Erivo was lying on the thick and white Western Region sheep rug, but his body was still trembling slightly. It was anger at work.
"Damn woman..."
He cursed in his heart, because the people sent by Princess Yicheng had just left. For more than ten years, as the mistress of the Turkic royal court, she was tolerant and intelligent, and she had established a prestige among the Turkic tribes that others could not imagine.
.
The sons of Qimin Khan knew this very well.
Therefore, the first thing that Shibi Khan did when he ascended the throne was to ask the Sui Emperor to remarry Princess Yicheng as his wife, and Ashina Ellivo was no exception.
What made him proud and happy was that after his brother finally died, the flower that had always been very attractive finally nodded. What was more convenient than his brother was that now the emperor of the Sui people was dead, and the Sui people
There was also civil strife, and the extremely noble Turkic Khan no longer had to go to anyone for supplication.
Ashina Erivo also wanted to combine the upcoming alliance meeting with a grand wedding, which might be the most glorious moment in his life.
But now, what the woman said was that after the Khan's funeral, the nobles would come to discuss their marriage.
Yes, everyone in the royal court is the same, no one is exception. Promises that shine like gold are worthless in their minds.
The woman hesitated. Like many nobles in the royal court, Ashina Erivo knew clearly that no one would recommend a person with a bad reputation who was defeated by the enemy when he first came to the throne to become a great Turk.
sweat.
But reason could not extinguish his anger. The incompetent Kluhu not only ruined the 20,000 warriors, but also probably ruined the throne of King Khan who was just around the corner.
At this time, he could even clearly hear that those greedy and despicable nobles were hiding in the dark and laughing, but he did not want to think about the consequences for the Turkic Royal Court of letting the enemy kill so many warriors near the royal court.
What shame and embarrassment it brings.
He wanted to summon the nobles to come before him to discuss how to kill those cunning enemies and maintain the majesty of the Golden Wolf Flag.
But in fact, there are really not many people who can give him awe.
Ashina Biji has arrived here, and all the confidants he brought to the royal court have gathered in front of him, but how to wash away the shame has made everyone silent.
He has not yet ascended to the throne of Khan. Among the main tribes, only the southern part of Ak is close to him and willing to be driven by him.
In other words, when the Yunzhong tribes moved northward one after another and were unwilling to block the way of the eastern tribes to the royal court, he had already offended many nobles.
But he wanted to send troops from the royal court, but he still had no name, because he was not the Great Khan after all.
"Eliver, my dear brother, you'd better go and see Ketun. Only she can convince the nobles that you already have the authority to control all the Turkic tribes. Ashina Dubi is also more willing to hear
Ke Dun’s voice…”
Ashina Eliver waved his hand to tell Ashina Biji to stop talking. His head hurt. What he didn't know was that his face was also very pale.
Waves of dizziness hit him, causing Ashina Allivo to gasp heavily. He ignored the gazes of his confidants and hurriedly took out a box from the blanket, grabbed a pill from it, and couldn't wait to eat it.
stand up.
Soon, that familiar feeling took over his body and mind, making his eyes blurred, and a trace of blush appeared on his pale and thin face.
He exhaled a sigh of relief, his eyes refocused, became sharp and deep, and the familiar Dongfang Khan returned to people.
"Send a message to Ashina Boyu and ask him to come to the Royal Court as soon as possible. We were bitten hard by wild beasts from the south. They are Sui people, and that woman... No one in the Royal Court is trustworthy now...
Are the warriors from the south of Acre still unable to enter the city?"
As he spoke, he vaguely smelled some conspiracy.
