Although Qiming Khan was still eight hundred miles away from Jincheng County, it was only three days for the Turkic army, which was all cavalry. If the Turks were hunting on their own territory in peacetime, they would have to go eight hundred miles deep.
It was hundreds of miles away and could not attract the attention of the Sui generals and the capital, but it was different now. No one could guarantee that the Turks and the Tuyuhun people had not secretly colluded, and once Yu Juluo took Zhangye and Jincheng
When half of the troops from the two counties went to Xiping County, the consequences would be disastrous if the Eastern Turkic army went south and went straight to Jincheng and Zhangye counties.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Yu Juluo postponed sending troops to rescue Xiping County at that time. He did not lead the army to Xiping County until he mobilized troops from Pingliang County and Tianshui County to reach Jincheng County. However, this delay waited until he led the army to Xiping County.
At that time, Xiping County was lost, and King Bai Lan led an army of 30,000 to capture Xiping City.
Although after he arrived, he led his army to lay several ambushes and killed some of the Tuyuhun army scattered outside Xiping City. He also recaptured Xitang County from the Tuyuhun people and cut off the connection between the Tuyuhun army and their hometown.
But it is difficult to make up for the loss of Xiping County.
Moreover, after a month of raids by the Tuyuhun people, Xiping County was completely deserted and turned into a complete ghost land. The Tuyuhun people were like locusts, cleaning the places they passed by, as long as they could take away anything.
All were moved back to their old nests, and those that could not be moved were burned. Countless people's houses were reduced to ashes in the blazing flames, and the evidence that thousands of people had lived here was only the loess that served as the foundation.
Such a result made Yuguluo feel sulky, and he was afraid that the Eastern Turks might go south, so he postponed the rescue. He explained this reason to the emperor and the court, but the emperor and the ministers in the court might not believe it. After all, some things might happen.
What happened and what really happened are completely different things, not to mention that the Eastern Turks are currently in the relationship with the Great Sui Dynasty. Because Princess Yicheng married Qiming Khan ten years ago, the Great Sui Dynasty and the Eastern Turks are in the honeymoon period, and the Eastern Turks and the Qiming Dynasties are very likely to be together.
Khan is hunting eight hundred miles away from the Sui border. Why are you, the Sui border general, so nervous?
In addition, what makes Yu Juluo even more depressed is that King Tuguhun Bailan came to the table to ask for surrender!
Just five days ago, before Yu Juluo besieged Heping County, King Tuyuhun Bailan sent envoys who wanted to submit a surrender report to take a detour directly to the capital of Guanzhong, but were stopped by the scouts he sent.
Yu Juluo really wanted to stop all the Tuyuhun envoys. It would be better to chop them into pieces and then feed them to the wolves in the wild. However, his army was limited in number and was far from being able to block all the roads from Xiping County to the capital. Even if he killed
If one envoy is eliminated, there will be other envoys who can still deliver the surrender to Tokyo.
He could only give an order in advance to let the other party's envoys stay and entertain him, while he sent people to Beijing to report the matter to see what kind of reaction His Majesty and the court would have.
Tuyuhun did this skill very well. He bypassed his Yongzhou marching manager and went directly to the Sui emperor to ask for surrender, saying that as long as he agreed to their request, he would evacuate Xiping City.
Because they knew that the Sui Bianzhou generals would not dare to make arrangements with other countries to ask for surrender without the permission of the emperor and the court, especially when the content of the request for surrender also involved various conditions.
Down.
As the commander-in-chief of Yongzhou's march, he knew very well that the situation of the enemies faced by Yongzhou was very complicated. When the Three Kingdoms were in dispute, the movements of any party would cause the situation to change instantly. The attitude of the Eastern Turks was ambiguous. As long as they did not actually send troops southward, the situation in the capital would be
There will definitely be many people who think he thinks too much.
After Tuyuhun lost the territory of Zhangye and Xiping counties in the war last year, although he quickly expressed his surrender to the Sui Dynasty, in fact, he was always thinking about how to regain Xiping and Zhangye counties.
In Yu Juluo's view, as long as the imperial court shows enough toughness and aims to destroy Tuyuhun, completely frightening, maiming, or even annihilating the opponent is the key to completely solving Tuyuhun's troubles.
The water curtain in front of the window has disappeared, and it will take a long time for the remaining rainwater to drip down. The thick clouds have also dispersed, and the afternoon sun shines through the tent door, and the drops hanging under the door curtain
The rain and dew are shining with colorful light.
Also, morale must be boosted but not let down. If it gives up halfway, the Sui Dynasty will no longer have prestige among the various forces in the Western Regions in the future, and the small country of Tuyuhun will become even more arrogant.
But before that, you must further explain your opinions clearly to the emperor, instead of letting the opponents mess around.
Having made up his mind, Yuguluo no longer took out a new piece of paper to draft an article. He took the special memorial sent to the emperor, wrote quickly, and expressed his thoughts in the memorial.

…
Late autumn has descended on the northern land.
A city built of tents appeared in the Hetao Plain. This can actually be regarded as the Eastern Turks. According to the usual practice, because every year before winter, the Eastern Turkic tribes originally look for a place with abundant water and grass. However, this time in previous years has always been
Qiming Khan, who was in the east, came to the west today.
There are tens of thousands of people, horses and vehicles, and tents of various sizes are like mushrooms after a summer rain. You can't see them all at a glance. In the center, there is even a large tent that is ten to twenty steps high and wide - Qiming Ke
The royal tent where the Khan governed.
This king's tent is made of wood and bamboo as pillars, with felt as a cover. The pillars are painted, brocade is hung on the four walls, yellow cloth embroidered with dragons is laid on the ground, the windows and curtains are made of felt, and the outside is covered with butter.
Silk.
This is the sweat tent of the Great Khan of Eastern Turks.
Due to the vast territory of the Eastern Turks, in order to effectively control the various tribes under his command, Qiming Khan patrolled all parts of his territory throughout the four seasons and subdued the tribes. In the winter, the royal tent was set up in Guangpingdian, in the spring at the Duck River, and in the summer at Tu'er
Mountain, and in autumn it is usually in Fuhulin, but today it is in the Hetao area.
Everywhere they went, the Eastern Turks hunted, herded, managed politics, and accepted visits from the tribes under their leadership. All major military and political affairs of the Eastern Turks were completed in the king's tent. This was followed by all the Turkic Khans for more than two hundred years.
In terms of tradition, Eastern Turks are much more orthodox than Western Turks.
A horn imitating the roar of a deer announces that the first hunt of this autumn is about to begin.
Luo Gesen, the confidant of the Eastern Turk Qiming Khan, also changed into his hunting clothes in his tent, walked out of the tent, and went straight to the king's tent.
"Great Khan, I just got the news that King Bailan has occupied Xiping City, but he was also trapped in Xiping City by Yu Juluo of the Sui Dynasty." After Luo Gesen saluted, he said to Qiming Khan: "Khan, we
When will we send out troops?"
