After the centurion passed the orders of the Turkic Khan, he rushed eastward, and they had to go to other departments to continue to pass the orders.

Danting looked at the Turkic cavalry with time and said nothing. At this time, the youngest son A Cai, behind him, said angrily: "If you ask us to send troops, do you think we are hunting dogs?"

"Shut up!" Danting turned around and glared at his son fiercely.

Danting was also very annoyed. He told the Turkic Khan last autumn that their tribe suffered a major disaster last year and needed to rest for two years and could not go to war. Unexpectedly, Luo Khan ignored his demands at all and still forced him to send troops.

At this time, his fourth son Muda whispered: "Why do you increase the tax on sheep this year and see if you can avoid this expiration?"

Danting shook his head, "The Golden Wolf Head Order has been issued, it's too late, okay! I will lead 30,000 troops to personally, watch the tribe and take good care of the spring lamb."

Danting has five sons and seven daughters. The eldest and second sons have died of illness. The third son is hostage in the Turkic den. The fourth son Muda is twenty years old this year. He is very smart and capable. His youngest son A Cai is only eighteen years old this year. However, he is tall and mighty, brave and good at fighting. At the age of sixteen, he participated in the Sijie Warrior Competition and has won the championship for three consecutive years. He is recognized as the number one warrior in Sijie.

Muda nodded, "I will take good care of the tribe and ask my father to take good care of myself!"

At this time, A Cai said on the side: "My father went on the battle himself. What if someone took the opportunity to attack us?"

After saying that, he turned around and returned to his big account. Danting was stunned. The youngest son seemed to be talking nonsense, but he said the key point. The Turkic Khan tribe might not touch him, but other tribes were hard to say. He pondered for a moment. Muda understood his father's mood and smiled bitterly: "Father, let Acai lead the army! Sijie tribe really needs his father to take charge."

Danting thought about it and could only do this. His youngest son was Sijie's first warrior. If he did not lead the army, he would be ridiculed by Sijie. As long as he sent a veteran to assist him, it would be no big problem. However, although he did not lead the troops south, he still had to go to Wangting, which was a matter of attitude.

Thinking of this, Danting said to his son: "Send someone to pass on my order immediately, and the warriors of Sijie tribes immediately came to my tent to gather and prepare to go to Wangting to apply for the election."

The Golden Wolf-headed Order of the Turkic Khan spread throughout the grassland within ten days, including the Turkic tribes, as well as the Sijie, Xueyantuo, Dubo, Tongluo, Qigu, Huxue and other tribes controlled by the Turks, each sent tens of thousands of troops. Even the Uighurs, Pugu and Bayegu of the three tribes in the East had to express their intentions, and each sent thousands of troops to the Wang Ting to respond to the call.

For a time, the grassland troops responded with a hundred responses, and all armies went to the Turkic court to gather, and the clouds of war quickly spread over the grasslands in the northern desert.

In the Turkic King's tent, the old high priest Moyalon threw a handful of powder into the air, and carefully waved the sheep bone staff in his hand, as if he was pushing away the fog and seeing the traces left by the powder in the air.

After a long time, he turned around and sat down, closed his eyes and said nothing. Chuluo Khan, who was beside him, asked, "High Priest, how about it?"

Moyalon slowly said, "I saw the destiny. This is a war arranged by the Heavenly Heaven, and it needs to be carried out by Khan himself."

Chuluo Khan sighed relieved and said, "Is this exactly the same as when I saw the will of the immortality last year?"

“It’s not quite the same.”

Moyalon opened his eyes, and a cold light appeared in his turbid eyes. "Changshengtian's will is stronger than last year. I saw Changshengtian's dissatisfaction. Khan, you should send troops last year."

Chuluo Khan sneered, "I don't think Changshengtian is dissatisfied, but the high priest is a little dissatisfied!"

"You are Khan and the lord of the grassland. I dare to have any dissatisfaction in front of you. Anyway, my people are no different from hundreds of sheep in the eyes of Khan."

Moyalon's tone was full of resentment. Since Xiao Xian betrayed Jinshan Palace and headed south, Moyalon no longer believed in anyone and began to manage his power himself. He pursued the principle of being strong and small in size, reducing the original army of more than 2,000 to 600.

These six hundred people are brave and powerful, and they are also one of the many war horses. They are the terrifying black wolf on the grassland. They have successively washed away many tribes that disrespect the high priests, greatly improving Moyalon's right to speak on the grassland. Even Chuluo Khan was afraid of him three points.

Perhaps because of being too confident, Moyalon actually agreed to Chuluo Khan's request. He disguised all the elite troops of Jinshan Palace as caravans and lurked into the heartland of the Central Plains in batches. Chuluo Khan would launch a large-scale attack in the autumn. Both sides cooperated inside and outside, and severely damaged the Northern Sui Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Khan Chuluo delayed his southward attack plan because of Liu Wuzhou's annihilation, and threw hundreds of elite troops under Moyalon into the Central Plains, putting them in a very dangerous situation.

Heavy snow blocked the grassland for a winter, and he lost contact with his subordinates, and he didn't know his life and death. This made Moyalon extremely angry. He even suspected that Luo Khan was killing people with a knife and using the power of the Sui army to eradicate the Jinshan Palace.

Moyalon said coldly: "My request is very low, I just hope that Khan will compensate for his breach of trust last year."

"What compensation does the high priest want?"

"I ask for a 30% harvest of the trophy this time."

"There are too many tribes going to fight this time, and everyone has to share the spoils. The spoils are far from enough. I can only give the high priest 10 at most."

"I can't accept it."

"It's already a lot, high priest."

Moyalon's greed also made Chu Luo feel a little unhappy, and his tone became invisibly aggravated, "Your subordinates are hiding in the richest hinterland of the Northern Sui Dynasty. Their harvest will not be less than mine. If they take out their harvests and share them together, then I will promise you 30%."

Moyalon said with a blue face for a while: "Then it's a matter of just one word, and I must give it to you 10% of the trophy."

After saying that, he walked slowly with a sheep bone staff. Chuluo Khan looked at his staggering back and walked away, his face was gloomy and terrifying. After this southern expedition, the Turks should change to a high priest.

Time passed day by day. In late February, the spring atmosphere had already enveloped the grassland, and the grassland was covered with tender green color. The troops coming from all over the grassland also arrived at the Turkic royal court one after another. On the originally endless grassland, there were tents from various tribes.

Accompanied by a large group of generals, Chuluo Khan patrols the grasslands of the garrison. This time, Chuluo Khan led a 300,000 army to the south, including 150,000 Turkic troops and 150,000 Tielier troops. The scale is no less than the time his brother Shibi Khan entered Yanmen Pass a few years ago. The logistics alone required 5 million cattle and sheep. In order to sit on the grassland, Chuluo Khan did not hesitate to use his strength to exert his country.

The Turkic general who was standing with Chuluo Khan was his brother Bulishe. Among the three brothers of Chuluo Khan, only the second brother Bulishe could make him trust. This time Bulishe also led 30,000 people from the headquarters to support his brother's southern expedition.

But not all Turkic nobles supported the southern expedition of Chuluo Khan. Only half of the Asina royal family supported his southern expedition. Many opponents were close relatives of Chuluo Khan, such as his two uncles, Boru, the eldest son of his brother Shibi Khan, and his two brothers Duru and Yugushe.

Of course, this is not because they have any friendship with the Tang Dynasty or the Northern Sui Dynasty. The key is to compete for power. The position of the Turkic Khan does not have to be passed on to the eldest son. They mainly rank as capable people, so everyone has the opportunity to ascend to the Khan, and everyone feels that they are more talented than others.

In addition, Chuluo Khan has a weak physical condition. At that time, Khan Qimin once said that he could not be a Khan, but was chosen by Princess Yicheng to be a Khan. How could the other Ashina royal families convinced?

It is precisely because half of the Ashina royal family did not support the Khan's southern expedition that the number of troops sent more than 100,000 less than expected. Although the eight Turkic tribes all sent troops, the number was obviously small.

At this time, a team of cavalry ran past the extremely narrow tents like a torrent. They cheered and screamed, arousing dissatisfaction and scolding around them.

Luo Khan frowned, pointed his horse whip and asked his brother Bu Lishi, "Whose army is that?"

Bulishi looked for a moment and said, "That should be Sijie's army. I recognize the young man as Danting's son A Cai."

"How many troops came from Sijie?"

"Thirty thousand people come!"

"Hmph! Too few, they can come at least 50,000 people." Chuluo Khan snorted dissatisfied.

"Brother, Sijie is actually pretty good. The three tribes of Uighurs, Pugu, and Bayegu have only 15,000 people in total."

Chuluo Khan's face suddenly became gloomy. He had known that these three tribes had secretly colluded with the Northern Sui Dynasty. The Northern Sui actually sold pig iron to them. It seemed that one of Zhang Xuan's wife was Tule's daughter. If he hadn't been afraid of civil strife in the grassland, he would have sent troops to destroy the Baye Gu tribe.

Chuluo Khan secretly made up his mind that when he returned from this southern expedition, he would be the first to deal with Bayegu after he had settled in the position of Khan.

Thinking of this, he turned around and asked, "Are the High Priest ready?"

According to convention, they will sacrifice to the Egenhe River for the longevity queen, and the army will be able to fight south. At present, the logistics of cattle and sheep are ready, and the sacrifices of the High Priest Moyalon are ready.

"Report to Khan, the high priest heard the news in the morning and it will be completed in three days at the latest."

"Hmph! Does he want to hold me back?"

Chuluo Khan was very dissatisfied, and he said to his brother Bu Li: "The fighter plane should not be delayed. You have a long journey and you can lead the army first. You must move quickly and catch yourself off guard by killing Bei Sui."

This time, the Turkic army advanced in parallel, Buliss led 50,000 troops to attack the East Route, and rushed into Hebei from Anle County. On the western front, Chu Luo personally led the army south to Mayi County.

Bulishi nodded, "I'll set out now!" (To be continued.)
