This battle lasted for a day and a night. Tong Yehu's army was about to win a big victory. Unexpectedly, Hurunubi led the army to attack from behind, catching Tong Yehu's army by surprise.
In this way, Tongyehu Khan even more believed that the person who poisoned their tribe's food and grass last night must be the person sent by Ashina, and even the purpose was to attract their army, and then conspired with Hurunubi to attack him
Conduct a sneak attack.
As for the Ashina tribe that they once conquered, causing the Ashina tribe to suffer heavy losses, in his opinion, it must be that Kurunubi appeared late deliberately, hoping to make the Ashina tribe suffer more losses, and at the same time, he also wanted to wait for him to unify Ye.
Hu's rear army also devoted itself to plundering the Ashina tribe before reappearing, so as to inflict heavy damage on his army as much as possible.
However, although Hurunubi caught Tongyehu Khan off guard, he actually came in a hurry. To be precise, this was a three-party encounter. Hurunubi and Ashina did not have a close relationship before.
The plan was planned, but the preparation was seriously insufficient. Therefore, after Tong Yehu Khan was hit hard at first, when he regained his strength, he fought back desperately. Especially when Tong Yehu personally led 30,000 soldiers and used him as a sharp knife to charge back and forth, he was unexpectedly alive.
The situation was turned around, and the three parties were at a stalemate for a while, and the casualties continued to increase rapidly.

"Lord Changsun, I am deeply ashamed. The Great Khan went to attack the two rebel tribes Ashina and Hurunubi, and he neglected Lord Changsun..."
In the royal court of the Western Turks, King Bodo held a banquet in honor of Changsun Sheng and Zhou Hu. Changsun Wuji expressed his apology insincerely.
Changsun Sheng smiled and said: "I always thought that Tongyehu Khan had controlled the entire Western Turks, but unexpectedly there were two rebel tribes. Fortunately, Tongyehu Khan was brave. Otherwise, if he was defeated, what would I do?
It is not possible for it to fall into the hands of Ashina and Hurunubi. If there is a conflict between me and General Wang, I am afraid that my Sui army will come to kill me."
King Bodo narrowed his eyes and said: "Master Changsun and Master Wang can rest assured that Tong Yehu Khan will definitely defeat Ashina and Khuru Nubi and unify the Western Turks."
Changsun Sheng waved his hand and said in an official tone: "That's all, I don't care about the Western Turks' own affairs. Since you are doing housework, I shouldn't stay here for a long time. Let's go back to Sui Dynasty!"
King Bodo said in his heart: "This dog officer is afraid that Tongyehu Khan will be defeated and fall into the hands of Ashina and Hurunubi and be killed, so he is busy running away for his life, and he also wants to speak in a high-sounding way."
Thinking this way, King Bodo didn't reveal anything on his face. He coughed and said hypocritically: "Master Changsun, why should you be anxious? According to my master, in seven days at most, the Khan will be able to destroy Ashina and
Khulu Khan, when the time comes, please treat your eldest grandson well."
Changsun Sheng pretended to be "shocked" and lost his voice: "It will take another seven days, no, no, no, I came here just for the marriage. Now that it has been completed, I, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, are still waiting for me.
What’s the news about me? I’m eager to return home. I’m leaving today!”
King Boduo laughed secretly in his heart, pretended to stay, and then agreed to Changsun Sheng.
Obviously, the courage Changsun Sheng has shown in the past few days is only because he knows that he and Tong Yehu will not kill him, so he is so strong. Now Anashi is different from Hurunubi, so he was scared
I had the guts to run away, so I immediately packed my bags and prepared to run away when I got back.
"Your Royal Highness, I will be bringing the delegation back to the Sui Dynasty today. I came here to say goodbye to the princess and hope that she will take care of herself." Changsun Sheng bowed deeply to Princess Xinyi and said solemnly.
"Are you leaving now? Why don't you stay a few more days?" Princess Xinyi looked sad. Although in Changsun Sheng's delegation, except for Wang Junlin who had some special relationship with her, other people
She didn't even know anyone. However, after all, they were from her own country. In a place like the far-off Western Regions, Changsun Sheng and his entourage were just like his natal family. When she heard that her natal family was leaving, Princess Xinyi couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to leave.
.
Changsun Sheng sighed, shook his head and said nothing. He could understand Princess Xinyi's feelings, because he was also the one who sent Princess Yiqing to marry Dong Turk. When they said goodbye, the words of the two princesses were astonishing.
The expressions on their faces are so similar.
"Where's General Wang? Why doesn't he come to say goodbye to me?" Princess Xinyi asked.
Changsun Sheng glanced across the tent. Although all the people in the tent were brought by Princess Xinyi, he was not sure whether the people inside had been bribed or subdued by King Bodo and Tongyehu Khan, so he said: "General Wang also wants to
He was leading the army to prepare to leave, so he didn't come over."
Princess Xinyi's face suddenly became a little pale, and she was even more sad, but she still held back the sadness in her heart and said: "Have a good trip, Lord Changsun. Please tell your majesty that during my lifetime, I will definitely help the Sui Dynasty as much as possible to prevent the Western Turks from letting go."
Just like last year, the army invaded our Sui Dynasty."
"Princess is very righteous, I will definitely tell your majesty what the princess said." Changsun Sheng bowed deeply again, and after speaking, he turned around and left the tent.
After Chang Sun Sheng left, He Shanggong said quietly: "Princess, don't be sad. Yesterday I went to the mission camp in the name of condolences to the soldiers. I looked carefully and found that General Wang has disappeared for two days."
Upon hearing this, Princess Xinyi's pale face became rosy, and her sadness was reduced by half. She lowered her voice and said, "Mammy said that General Wang is not here."
He Shanggong said in a low voice: "Princess, you still remember the body of the Sui army found in the lake two days ago. It may be General Wang's plan to change the situation. He has probably left. I always feel that there is a sudden war between the three Turkic forces this time."
, that’s what General Wang did in the past two days.”
After hearing this, Princess Xinyi said nothing, and the expression on her face changed. No one knew what she was thinking.
…
…
On the grassland, the sky was gloomy. The sun should have been shining brightly, but when it was noon, looking at the gloomy sky, it seemed like it would get dark soon.
Waves of moist wind swept low over the grassland.
A convoy of more than 2,000 people left the Western Turkic Royal Tribe and headed southeast. Zhou Hu led a thousand cavalry at the front, looked up, and said loudly: "It's going to rain, it looks like it's going to rain."
It’s going to rain heavily!”
The 2,500 cavalry escorting this convoy were much neater than the Turkic cavalry. They wore uniform armor, mandarin duck battle coats, helmets, held long guns, and carried swords across their waists. They were full of energy and were extremely vigilant.
Yes, this is the Sui Dynasty envoy to the Western Turks. Now that the Turkic civil war has begun, they are not suitable to stay any longer. Not to mention that the civil war in the Western Turks was secretly provoked by the Sui people.
There is a possibility of being exposed. Even if they are not the instigators, if the Turks finally kill the red eyes, or Tong Yehu Khan is defeated, who knows whether Ashina and Khuru Nubi's people will kill them.
.
Zhou Hu personally rushed to Changsun Sheng's car and said loudly: "Sir Changsun, it's going to rain heavily. I think it's necessary to set up camp at the foot of the mountain as soon as possible and set up a temporary camp to take shelter from the rain. I estimate that it will rain half the time."
I’m afraid it’s going to fall within an hour!”
Changsun Sheng stretched out his head and glanced at the sky, and said: "Then follow Captain Zhou's wishes and set up camp as soon as possible to avoid the rain."
Soon, under Zhou Hu's mobilization, the entire team quickly turned to a higher position at the foot of the mountain, busy driving piles and setting up tents. When most of the tents were set up and the entire camp began to take shape, the sky
Some sporadic raindrops have already fallen.
At this time, a cavalryman wearing Turkic clothing arrived and delivered information.
Soon, information appeared on Chang Sun Sheng's desk.
The information was written on a piece of paper with charcoal and was sent by someone sent by Wu San. It meant that they had led 500 troops to break up into parts, disguised themselves and prepared to return to Gaotai City. In addition, it was emphasized that Wang Junlin was still unaware of the situation.
The Lunubi tribe is with the caravan.
"Lord Changsun, will something happen to our general?" Zhou Hu asked with some worry. Now that they have all evacuated the Western Turks, only Wang Junlin is left.
Changsun Sheng thought for a while and said: "Captain Zhou, don't worry. According to the original plan made in Gaotai City, General Wang will dress up as a businessman and return to Gaotai City with the caravan. With General Wang's ability, there will be no problem."
Zhou Hu nodded and stopped talking. He seemed to be a rough man, but in fact he was very careful. He knew that this mission to the Turks could cause a full-scale civil war in the Turks. Most of the credit was attributed to Wang Junlin. He was worried about his eldest grandson.
The Sheng father and his son killed Wang Junlin because of their greed for power.
Zhou Hu had such an idea because he had never had a good impression of the civil servants of the Sui Dynasty. He even thought that the civil servants were not good, because according to his military exploits and abilities, he should have become at least a centurion leader before Wang Junlin appeared.
But in fact, it was Huo Chang who was the leader at that time, and his merits were misappropriated by civil servants.
In the evening, it finally started raining heavily.
The rain fell hard and fast, and the rainwater formed a line, connecting the sky and the earth, and it felt painful when it hit people's faces. Fortunately, the mission had already set up tents, and everyone took shelter in the tents.
Go, there's not even a lookout, so in such heavy rain, there's no need to worry about a sneak attack.
If the rain is too fast, it will not last long. The heavy rain stopped within less than half an hour. However, although the rain lasted for a short time, the rainfall was heavy. Even though the entire camp was set up in a higher area, it was still wet everywhere.
Zhou Hu was experienced and chose a good place. Not only did it not store rainwater, but the ground after the rain was not muddy because there was turf.
But when it rains heavily, even if you are in the tent, the rain will drip down from your feet, and that kind of humidity is inevitable.
Without consulting Changsun Sheng, Zhou Hu sent a group of scout cavalry to the Hulu Nubi tribe to inquire about the news. He was a little worried about Wang Junlin.
