Chapter 1059: The situation is out of control
The situation was tense and dangerous. The only thing that could make Mochu Khan feel a little relieved was that Mochu was also holding the crossbow of the younger brother of Tuqinhua Khan Soge in his hand.
Zhabi just defected to the Turkic Khanate. The snake swallowed the elephant. His brother Po Ge was appointed by the court as the Khan of the fourteen surnames. He was given the name Shouzhong. Zhabi was only given the name Shouzhong, and the tribes he divided were obviously fewer than his brother. This result made Zhabi unbearable. After defecting to the Khanate, Zhabi wanted to use the power of Mochu Khan to seize the lost power.
The defection of the Crossbow allowed Mochu to grasp the reality of the Chuck. Is it an option to let the Crossbow lead the way to blitzkrift attack the Chucks?
"Fight the Xiagas first!" After a while of silence, Shiyugu expressed his thoughts, "Climbing Quman Mountain is the Xiagas ranch."
When you go south, there are three major obstacles caused by surrender, so it is difficult to find a cheap one.
Attacking Tuqishi, you have to face the Tang army of the Anxi Protector and the Beiting Protector.
Only sneak attacks on relatively remote Khigas are the safest.
The only obstacle to overcome may be the flying snow in the sky, as well as the snow in the grass and the valleys more than a foot deep.
"This season, the road across Qumanshan has been buried by heavy snow. How can I get through it?" Someone muttered.
"Find a guide, there will always be a way." The unquestionable tone of Shiyugu infected everyone, and the cold blood in his blood vessels seemed to boil again after being stirred.
Under the guidance of Are people, the Turks embarked on the road to the Western Expedition. As the vanguard of the army, Pingxue opened the way.
Stepping across the frozen Tamir River and staggering in the Hane River Valley, the stretching Telhi River guided the Turks to the foot of Mount Tarbagata, holding war horses, grabbing branches, climbing onto the steep mountains.
In front of you is a flat gentle slope, and at the end of the gentle slope is a big "snow barrier", the Tanuula Mountains.
After ten days and ten nights of hard marching, the Turks bypassed the snow barrier, but encountered another problem and got lost.
The inability to advance or retreat was the critical moment of dilemma. The sentry who went out to explore the way actually discovered a river extending from north to south.
The Turks followed the river all the way north, and after crossing the Xisakyan Mountains at the Sur Pass, they came to the Ani River mentioned by Guide Are.
The Ani River originates from the Xisakyan Mountains and flows southwest into the Abagen River. According to the Ari Guide, the road leading to the Ari people is next to the Ari River, and the narrow passage allows only one horse to pass through.
The Turks determined their position and confirmed their direction of progress.
The Turks had accidentally hit the upper reaches of the Ani River and went downstream into the Abagen River Basin, and could find the nomadic Khigas in the Abagen River Basin and the upper reaches of Yeseni.
On a dark night, the Turks came to the camp of Khigas, which was silent with a bonfire.
The dreamland of the Khigas people was soon shattered by cold spears and hot torches. All they left was the awakening nightmare and the bloody sun.
Killing the Khan of Xiagas and subjugating the remaining troops of Xiagas, the Turks were preparing to walk on the way home with a spear-deep snow.
At this moment, they got bad news. The Qinhua Khan Soge of Tuqishi had led tens of thousands of troops to advance eastward to the Yaer Plain in the Bolejier River Basin, and set up camp along the mountains and rivers, forming a horn with the Tang army in Beiting.
The dangerous situation is about to break out. If it weren't for the sneak attack on Xiagas, the Turks would have been attacked from three sides.
Mochu Khan set up the camp in the east of Jinshan Mountain, although
However, being attacked on both sides is helpless.
At this critical moment of life and death, Mochuo had a disagreement with his subordinates.
Fighting is a choice that has always been the choice of Shinogu.
The fight was also in line with the spirit of the Turks. They had just won the expedition, which made them highly motivated.
But Mochu Khan was quite hesitant.
Victory is certainly aspiring to people, Mochu Khan is more concerned about who will enjoy the fruits of victory.
Shinyugu is worthy of being a wise strategist, both smart and virtuous, but where does Mochukhan's wisdom reflect his wisdom?
What's more, Shi Yugu has always had a good impression of the brothers Mojilian and Que Teqin.
Mochu decided to achieve his own glory in his own way: appointing his son, Puju as the commander of the Western Army, leaving behind Mojilian, Que Teqin, Ashide Yuanzhen, Lu Yugu and others to assist Puju.
The main force of the army stayed in Jinshan, and Mochu returned to Mobei's tent.
In the Shiyu Valley, the hero who sneaked into the Xiagas was raised by Mochu Khan, leaving everyone with admiration, Mochu took his horse back to the east.
Before leaving, Mochu Khan specifically advised Ashide Yuanzhen to be careful of the Shrine and not let the Shrine move around, as the Shrine is too dangerous.
This news made Shiyugu learn about it, and there was a filth between Shiyugu and Mochukhan.
It is natural for them to have differences in their understanding of the situation. Sunyugu is known for his toughness: only by defeating Tuqi Shi in front of him can the Turks have a way out.
Although Mochuo also agreed with this judgment, the key is to be able to beat him?
Once the stalemate is fought, the Tang army in Beiting will rush to help, and the army under Shiyugu will be in great danger.
Mochu's idea was to wait for the thunder to make a mistake.
Of course, Mochuo didn't want the Shinyu Valley to win a big victory, especially he didn't want the Mojilian and Que Teqin to make another great contribution.
This not only involves the face and authority of the Great Khan, but also involves the candidates for the next Great Khan. The issue of succession is a big problem.
Mochuo took over his brother's work. His two nephews were still young back then, but now they are grown up. No matter how you look at them, they are better than their sons.
He passed the throne to his nephew, and was unwilling to accept it.
I passed the throne to my son, but I was afraid that everyone would not accept it. It was difficult!
If the war against the Thunder cavalry is launched at this time, it is obviously the two brothers Mojilian and Que Teqin who have made contributions.
It’s the most appropriate to think about it, and it’s the most appropriate to hold on.
The front line, the Shiyugu, no matter what Mochukang thought, it is better to try his best to do it instead of waiting for death.
Shiyugu ordered the troops to set off, and the brothers Mojilian and Que Teqin followed behind Shiyugu without hesitation. This was against the order. Without the knowledge of the front line commander, Shiyugu chose to challenge the strong enemy.
The valley of Shiyu crossed the Jinshan Mountain without any passage, crossed the Yiyan River without any ferry, and arrived at Bolezi at dawn."
The Tsugu Valley, who arrived in Bolezi, received a report: "There is a unit of 100,000 people already gathered on the Yaris Plain."
This news surprised everyone. Shiyugu was disobedient and failed to bring all the troops. The decisive battle with a 100,000 opponent was beyond everyone's imagination.
Let's go back!
Those who know the times are heroes, and real men should know the opportunity to advance and retreat!
Is it scary to have too many people?
Does having fewer people have to fail?
Come on, kids, go fight!
Shiyugu shook the spear in his hand and rushed to the nearby Tuqishi camp.
There is no doubt that victory belongs to the aroused Turkic warriors.
The real test came the next day, and the warriors of Tukkishi rushed towards the invading Turks like fire. This was a handful of battles on the grassland. The number of Tukkishis, who had the advantage in numbers, obviously dominated the battlefield, and the number of left and right wings was twice that of the Tuks.
The number of people is disadvantageous, the two sides fight in a row, and all kinds of disadvantages, the Turks are doomed to fail no matter what.
However, they all ignored one person and prostrated themselves.
As the commander of the Western Route Army, he did not sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. He learned that Shiyugu had led his army to attack Tuqishi without stopping it. Instead, he led the remaining troops to follow and appeared on the battlefield at a critical moment, completely breaking Tuqishi's defense line.
The Turks won, and Soge was killed, but the Turks also paid the price, and Ashide Yuanzhen died in this battle.
"It's fine if the Turks attacked Xiagas in a sneak attack. We couldn't relieve our near thirst! But the Turks fought against the Turks, and the Beiting army was so close, so why didn't we go to help?" Lu Xiaoxian said the question in his heart.
Yao Chong explained: "One of the Turkic raids, the Beiting garrison did not expect it in advance. Second, the Beiting garrison thought that the Turkic cavalry was stronger than the Turkic raids, so they did not send troops. Unexpectedly, this was the result."
Lu Xiaoxian stared at Yao Chong and said, "I'm afraid this is what the court means? Even if Beiting is prepared and capable of sending troops, he will not dare to act rashly without the will of the court."
Yao Chong said embarrassedly: "The original intention of the court is to let them fight each other, preferably both sides will suffer losses, which will be the most beneficial to the Tang Dynasty."
"Damn it!" Lu Xiaoxian slapped the table.
During the entire battle, the Tang army did not take any help from Tuqishi. This mistake not only destroyed Tuqishi, but also destroyed the image of the Tang Dynasty in the hearts of the countries in the Western Regions. It is hard to imagine what kind of mood the defeated Tuqishi people would have. Lu Xiaoxian even doubted that will anyone be as loyal to the Tang Dynasty as Soge in the future?
Lu Xiaoxian sighed and sat down again. He asked Li Longji: "Your Majesty, now that the Turks have defeated Tuqishi and have entered the Western Regions, how are the imperial court ready to deal with it?"
Li Longji said: "I have discussed it with Master Yao. What we mean is to send troops from Guannei Road and Longyou Road to reinforce Beiting. It is necessary to drive the Turks out of the Western Regions and never allow them to gain a foothold in the Western Regions."
"If I had known this was the result, I should have fully supported Tuqishi and wiped out the Turkic army in one fell swoop." After complaining, Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand and said, "You should not send troops from these places. The troops in the inner road cannot move, especially the three surrendered cities, which is a barrier to defend against the Tang Dynasty. The troops in Longyou cannot move, so we must beware of the Tubo people. If they take advantage of the opportunity and stab us in the back, our lives will be difficult."
Li Longji nodded.
Lu Xiaoxian said again: "Besides, if there are fewer troops to be transferred, it will be useless. If there are too many troops, the court will have to spend a lot of money in vain, which will not be worth the loss."
Yao Chong asked, "Then what do you think should be?"
Lu Xiaoxian pondered: "I mean no more troops!"
"What? Not increasing troops?" Li Longji and Yao Chong were both surprised after hearing this.
The Anxi Jieduan Funing Western Regions, governed the four towns of Kuts, Yanqi, Yutian, Shule, and governed the city of Kuts, with a force of 24,000. The Beiting Jieduan defended the Tuqi Shi, Jiankun, governed the Hanhai, Tianshan, Yiwu army, Tunyi and the west prefectures, and governed the Beiting Protectorate, with a force of 20,000.
