After the Xueyantuo tribe was defeated in the early years of Daye, its strength was greatly reduced, and it surrendered to the Turkic Qimin Khan. It was placed in the north of the Turkic tent, with a large grassland with abundant grassland.

After more than ten years of low-key development and rapid population reproduction, Xue Yantuo successively annexed many small tribes and gradually became stronger, with nearly 300,000 troops and 100,000 troops.

During the Battle of Fengzhou two years ago, Xueyantuo's tribe taught a profound lesson. They were not optimistic at the beginning. Khan Yinan used the excuse to resist the invasion of the Wutu tribe, and only symbolically sent thousands of people to participate.

As a result, the Battle of Fengzhou caused the smallest losses to the Xueyantuo tribe. When Wutu led his army into the Turkic tent, they avoided far away. After several attempts to avoid harm and seek profit, the Xueyantuo tribe became the second largest grassland force after the Turks.

This time the Turks went south to establish their authority and ordered Xue Yantuo to send troops. Xue Yantuo's troops could no longer avoid it, so the Yi Nan Khan personally led an army of 40,000 with the Turks.

Yi Nan Khan was the eldest son of Yi Shibo, the chief of Xueyantuo, who opposed his father's attack on the Sui Dynasty. In the end, his father was killed by the Qibian people. Yi Nan, who was in his prime, was supported by the remaining Xueyantuo nobles as the new chief.

More than ten years have passed in a flash. Yi Nan is nearly fifty years old, with all his beards and hair. On the grassland, where his average life span is only in his thirties, he is already considered a long life.

Yi Nan understood what Jie Li Khan meant, and he stood up and smiled: "According to tradition, the trophy is naturally determined by the Great Khan to distribute it, and this time should be no exception. I believe the Great Khan will distribute it fairly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Sa sneered: "If there were the word "fairness" in the world, there would be no Xue Yantuo today."

The relationship between the Uighurs and Xueyantuo has always been very bad. Since the Turks resettled Xueyantuo in the early years of Daye, the land where Xueyantuo was resettled belonged to the Uighurs, but was forcibly assigned to Xueyantuo by the Turks.

In addition, the Turks were particularly biased in Xue Yantuo and named Yi Nan Khan. Pei Sa of the Uighurs was just a chief, so today Xue Yantuo spoke for the Turks, how could the Uighurs give him a good face?

Yi Nan didn't expect the other party to ridicule him so much, and immediately glared at Pei Sa and said, "What do you mean? Tell me clearly!"

Pei Sahodi stood up, pressed the hilt of the knife with his hand, and glared at the other party viciously and said, "What do you have to say to you, the dog!"

Not only was Yi Nan angry, but the four commanders Xue Yantuo beside him were all furious. They drew out their swords and pointed at Pei Sa. Several commanders of the Uighurs were not showing weakness, and they drew out their swords at the same time.

The swords in the Turkic King's tent were tense and the atmosphere was extremely tense. Jie Li Khan did not expect such a scene to happen. He was extremely annoyed, but he still restrained it. Then he said coldly: "Put away the knife for me!"

For the sake of the Turkic Khan, both sides put away their swords, but Pei Sa's anger was not gone. He snorted heavily, turned around and walked out of the tent, and several Uighur ten thousand men followed him.

There was a silence in the tent. Jie Li Khan's face was as gloomy as water, staring at Pei Sa's back, his murderous intent burst out in his eyes, and he quickly endured it. It was not the time to deal with the Uighurs.

.........

Just as the Turks set up camp to celebrate the merits, a team of eight thousand cavalry ran quickly westward in the dark night of stars and moon.

To the north is the dark Wuzhou Mountains. The tall mountains are majestic and tall. Under the cold moon and silver radiance, they are steep and steep, which is extremely dangerous.

Li Jing pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were grim, and the fast night wind whined in his ears. He kept whipping the war horse and galloping.

Their time is very tight and they must arrive at Zihe before dawn tomorrow. This is a dangerous move. If they succeed, they can hold the Turkic army back for more than five days. This critical five days can ensure that the people of Mayi County retreat south and the main force of the Sui army can also go north in time.

But if he fails, he will take the responsibility for ineffective blocking. Li Jing's eyes became more and more serious, and he felt that the pressure on his shoulders was very huge...

After a day and night of running, at dawn, eight thousand Sui cavalry arrived at Zihe. Zihe originated from the mountains and ridges of Mayi County. It flowed northward and after it flowed out of the Great Wall, it bent into an arc like a bow of the Sui army, turned to the lower left, and then straightened majestic.

The light blue and lilac river water flows through the mountains and ridges, flows through the grassland with abundant pastures, and finally flows into the Yellow River.

The lower reaches of Zihe River have always been the main channel for northern nomadic people to enter the Central Plains. Although this time, in order to annihilate the Wutu tribe, it was almost certain that they would go south from Qifubo, Li Jing still deployed 5,000 defensive forces in the area along the Yellow River channel in the lower reaches of Zihe River.

Facts proved that his steadiness was completely correct. Who would have thought that the last corps of the Wutu tribe fled to Zihe, but attracted the pursuit of 20,000 Turkic cavalry, and Turkic troops also appeared in the Zihe Basin.

The sky was completely bright, and the Sui army entered the Zihe Valley, which was about one mile wide. The valley was more than twenty miles long. It was actually a mountain stream that slowly formed by the mountain after thousands of years of erosion of the river.

There are straight cliffs on both sides, and the cliffs are covered with dense plants and vines. Although it is winter, the withered and yellow vines still cover the stone walls. Although today's sunshine is particularly warm, the sunshine cannot shine into the mountain stream, making the mountain stream light dim and a little gloomy. The river water has long been frozen like a mirror, and the cold wind whistles through the mountain stream, making huge and strange sounds, making people always feel strange when walking on the ice, as if it is a gate to the underworld.

Eight thousand Sui cavalry walked silently through the narrow mountain stream. The sound of war horses on the ice surface occasionally alarmed some unknown winged creatures. They screamed and flew to the top of the mountain dozens of feet high. The sudden screams were always creepy.

At this time, more than a dozen patrolmen came against the team, and there was a Taoist priest wearing a blue Taoist robe among them. He had a bun of hair and a worn bamboo crown. The Taoist priest was about thirty years old. Under the hostage of Sui soldiers, he looked a little uneasy.

"Mr. Li!"

The patrol soldiers finally found Li Jing and came up. Li Jing also saw the Taoist priest among them. He pointed to the horse whip and asked, "What's going on with this Taoist priest?"

"Report to the general manager, this person was found in a rock crack on the cliff. He was a herb collector. He had news about Wutu's troops."

Li Jing was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Where are Taoist priests from you? What should I tell me if I have any situation?"

The Taoist priest hurriedly bowed and said, "The Taoist is a Taoist priest from Xuanqing Temple. The Taoist citation is about fifty miles south here. He has been collecting herbs in this area for a long time. It was about five or six thousand people who were hiding in the cracks of rocks last night. He was awakened by the sound of horse hooves. The Taoist slid out and saw about five or six thousand people passing through the mountain stream. They were holding torches, most of them were women and children, and there were hundreds of young and strong men. They looked like Turkic people. Many men were injured. They cried all the way, like a team to send mourning."

After pausing, the Taoist priest said again: "Their leader seems to be a woman, dressed very well, protected by dozens of guards, and kept wiping his tears."

Li Jing nodded. He should be the last survivor of the Wutu tribe. Anulli was among them. They went south and just missed him. However, after a moment of thinking, Li Jing immediately understood that the scout said that there were nearly 10,000 people left in the Wutu tribe, but the Taoist priests only saw five or six thousand people. Most of them were women and children, and hundreds of men were injured.

This shows that the Wutu part is divided into two groups, one of which should be soldiers, responsible for attracting Turkic pursuers to cover Anulli and the women and children to escape from the mountain stream. Li Jing quickly estimated the time. The Taoist priest saw them at the fifth o'clock in the morning, so the Turkic pursuers should have chased through the mountain stream and headed west.

Li Jing immediately became worried. The five thousand Sui soldiers stationed in Zihe Fort were not very far from here, only more than 100 miles away. They were likely to encounter 20,000 Turkic pursuers. Thinking of this, Li Jing became anxious and asked again: "How far is it from here to the north entrance of the mountain stream?"

"It's not far away, and there are still seven or eight miles to go out. You can walk along the Zihe River. After leaving the hilly area, you will be covered with grasslands. I guess the person you are looking for will also follow the river west."

"Thank you!"

Li Jing immediately said, "Reward him ten taels of silver and let him go."

The soldiers released the Taoist priest, and a personal soldier gave the Taoist priest a ingot of silver. The Taoist priest left with great gratitude. Li Jing immediately ordered: "Tell me my order, and the team will speed up the march!"

The Sui cavalry team suddenly accelerated and quickly headed towards the north entrance of the mountain stream.

...........

It took a short time to pass seven or eight miles. After a short while, the team broke out into the mountain stream. There were low hills on both sides and dense forests, all of which were vast black pine forests. There was no way to the west. The Sui cavalry team had no choice but to continue to advance northwest along the riverbed.

After walking about twenty miles, the hills were getting lower and lower, and soon they arrived at the corner of Zihe River. I saw that there were no hills in the distance, but an endless grassland. Zihe turned here and flowed southwest.

Behind them was the towering Wuzhou Mountains. Under the sunlight, the mountains were particularly tall and majestic. The mountain stream they passed through had turned into a thin black line, which was difficult to see clearly.

"Mr. Li!"

A scout rushed to report: "We found a large area of ​​horse hoof prints, tens of thousands of cavalry passing by, and went west along the north bank of the river. It took about an hour."

Li Jing thought for a moment, Zihe Fort was about a hundred miles away from here. If the horse speed was faster, it would take about half a day to arrive. However, they had been marching for a day and a night, and their men were extremely tired. It would be a big deal to rush over like this, so the scouts could first find out the situation.

Of course, Li Jing did not try to rescue the last few thousand soldiers of the Wutu tribe. Their purpose was to annihilate the 20,000 Turkic cavalry. If these 20,000 Turkic cavalry were completely wiped out, it would be enough for the Turkic army to dare not go south easily.

Li Jing immediately ordered: "Tell me my order, and the whole army will dismount and rest!"
