Darigan Love.

This was originally a ranch of the Qie tribe, but later it was occupied by the Baye Gu tribe who took advantage of the opportunity to go south. After Sun Xiurong's Rao Le army occupied Nanbaye Gu, he moved 5,000 herders to the Fu tribe and left the place empty.

The ranch here is extremely excellent. It would be terrifying to say that Sun Xiurong predicted the embarrassment of the Turks in advance and thus emptying Darigan Ai. Before that, he knew nothing about where the Turkic Khan's tent was and where the main force was.

But he knew the fate of the Turks and the fact that the Uighurs were about to rise.

The Uighurs had roughly the same language as the Turks, their customs were roughly the same, and their political systems were generally the same. Their Khan position and official positions were also extremely similar. If the Uighurs rose to the north of Mobei, the shock caused by the Tiel people who dominated Mobei at this time would not be too great.

Once the Turks completely perish, they will have a great relationship with the Tang Dynasty, with many Dingkou and strong combat power, no matter how Sun Xiurong is trying, he will not be an opponent in a short period of time.

This is because, since the beginning of the Huns, once a tribe completely occupied the Udemao Mountain and the Orhun River Basin, it could have at least 100,000 herders and 400,000 to 500,000. At that time, they would threaten tribes in the Great Lakes (the part of the Mongolian Plateau west of the Udemao Mountain, there are several famous lakes), the Krulun River Basin (the area south of the Kent Mountain), the Songmo (the area east of the Great Xing'an Mountains is dominated by the Nenjiang River, the Xilamulun River, and the Laoha River), and the million herders, and three to four million Dingkou are the norm.

This was the case with the Liao Kingdom later. If the fishing and hunting tribes on the Songliao Plain were added, Dingkou would be nearly five million.

Five million is not a large number for the Central Plains dynasty, but it is already quite remarkable for the nomadic tribes.

Therefore, Sun Xiurong knew very well that although the rule of the Uighurs was short, it had been nearly a hundred years. Once it became a climate, his major plan for traveling through time is very likely to "collapse of the middle way."

Therefore, preventing the Turks from being completely destroyed, and then allowing the Uighurs to grow bigger is the prerequisite for him to persevere!

Darigan Ai became the official ranch of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, and it has its own unique features.

In the middle of the pasture, there is a raised platform, which is quite flat and covers a wide area, almost three thousand acres in size. Such a place can naturally become a natural military camp.

Sun Xiurong had already built a large military camp here and welcomed Pugu Huaien, who came here to fight in advance.

The two of them rode around the camp to check. Sun Xiurong said as he walked: "This camp is about ten miles in a radius, and can accommodate 20,000 tents that can accommodate ten soldiers. Of course, it must not be so crowded. If there is a horse and a small number of families, there will be no problem with living for 50,000 people."

"I have already built a wooden fence about six feet high around me. The wooden fence is divided into two rows, and the middle position is about three feet, filled with straw bags filled with sand and gravel. The fence on the inside is lower than the outside. Soldiers can stand on it and shoot with bows and arrows."

"If the enemy does not have a catapult, it is basically impossible to defeat this fence. If you want to use a horse to pull it, you need thousands of horses at the same time. We are all on the grassland to make a living. We all know that if the enemy wants to use a tiger claw pivot cable to grab the fence and then pull it with a horse, the number of people will definitely not be large. It is basically impossible to get a thousand riders to pull it."

"Of course," Sun Xiurong glanced at Pugu Huaien who said nothing, "If you wait to get the enemy closer to the point where you can pull the fence with a thousand war horses, then I'll take a look."

Pugu Huaien's face changed when he heard this, "We are indeed not a match for the Uighurs in the wild, because our army's morale has plummeted after a series of failures. The Uighurs occupied the Turkic royal court and captured the Wude Mountains. The morale was boosted after the Orhung River tribes. But if we rely on the camp defense, the Turkic people would not be easy to get along with each other!"

Sun Xiurong nodded, "That's good."

Then he pointed to the only tent in the camp and said, "That was the big tent I had tied for the White-Browed Khan. It was made of wool felt made by the Bogra women himself. It can not only prevent rain and snow, but also be quite tough, and can resist the sharp claws of beasts."

"Bogra?"

"Oh, that is a tribe that is completely loyal to Ben Khan, composed of the Shuye Army and Rao Le Army as the main body."

As he said that, he activated the war horse and ran over, and Pugu Huaien quickly followed.

After the two walked into the big tent, Sun Xiurong pointed to the iron stove and said, "This thing is made of iron, which is quite laborious. This is a coal cake. Fill it into the bottom of the stove, ignite it with hay and fine firewood. The coal cake can be ignited soon, and then seal it. You can place a kettle, iron pot and other items on it, boil water and cook mutton."

"The smoke gas passes through the iron pipe to the outside. When the coal cake burns, not only does the stove and kettle, but its high-heat smoke can also heat the iron pipe, which will make the entire tent warm as spring."

"This is a gift I gave to White-Browed Khan, I hope he likes it."

Pugu Huaien looked at him with a very complicated expression. This person's behavior is not only different from ordinary Tang people, but also from civil servants and military generals, but also from the noble chiefs on the grasslands. Speaking of which, he is somewhat similar to the merchants who come from far away.

He is free and easy by nature and extremely fine, but his big eyes in front of him are ruthless and different from the Dashi merchants (at this time, the Tang Dynasty collectively called Dashi merchants the non-Sogdian Hu Shangs who came to Chang'an. In fact, most of them were from the Roman Empire and the former Roman provinces of Damascus, Aleppo, and Jewish merchants). He always showed the fact that he was also a rich leader.

In fact, Sun Xiurong was completely worthy of it. As soon as he arrived at the junction, he started farming and successfully harvested rye that had a poor taste but was very easy to handle. After conquering the Shiwei people in the east and west of the ridge, he had already supported 15,000 standing troops.

In today's world, except for the Tang Dynasty, super-large groups such as the Turks, Uighurs, and Geluo, the tribal khans could support tens of thousands of standing troops.

The tribes that unified the entire desert could only support 30,000 permanent troops at most. The number of palace tent troops of the emperors of the Liao Kingdom could often reach 100,000, because they had a large number of farmers.

In this section, as one of the few knowledgeable people in the remnants of the Turkic tribe, why didn’t Pu Gu Huaien know about this?

With his style just now, all this was very novel for Pugu Huaien, and finally became respect. The reverence in his mind was not like the previous culture and martial arts of the Tang Dynasty, and life was beyond the shock brought to him by too many grassland tribes, but a kind of reverence from the heart.

Because as soon as he came into contact with Sun Xiurong, he felt the kind of free and casualness that he could only live on the grassland for a long time, and the confidence and toughness that came from the continuous victory of long-term conquests. What's even more rare is that he had the extremely rare meticulousness on the grassland. I heard that his standing army required reading and literacy, which seemed too amazing to Pugu Huaien.

Like the Central Plains, the Turks and Uighurs all had written words, but only a few noble chiefs controlled them. For ordinary herders, they did not even have their own surnames, so they naturally did not know their own words. However, Sun Xiurong let his subordinates master the "Hu'er" from various tribes openly!

"What kind of person is this?!"

Just as Pugu Huaien kept expressing emotions in his heart, Sun Xiurong ignored this. At the end of the visit, he said to Pugu Huaien: "I ask you, how much mobile power can the Turks be used to mobilize at the moment?"

"Mobile power?"

"Ah, how many young and strong men who were escorting the herdsmen and the standing troops who were escorting the Khan were able to take them out and fight the enemy in the wild?"

"So it's this, I won't hide it from the Grand Governor..."

Sun Xiurong gave him a blank look, "Not long ago, thanks to the respect of all ministries, they recommended me as Bograhan..."

Pugu Huaien felt a little nervous, "This guy is not humble at all. In the Uighur regulations, Arslan Khan is the great khan and Bogra Khan is the deputy khan. Most of this guy learned it from the Uighurs..."

However, he said, "I'm rude, great khan. Originally, the left wing of the Turkic Khanate was dominated by the Tongluo tribe, with eleven tribes in total, with nearly 40,000 herdsmen. After being attacked by Wang Zhongsi the last time, the young and strong people were almost lost, and the number of households was reduced to about 30,000 tents."

"Then the eight divisions of the right wing, mainly the Pugu tribe below, and the Khan's Ashi tribe was also among them, with a number of about 40,000 tents, and there were still about 50,000 young and strong. If you leave the guards' small ones, you can fight in the wild, well, at least 20,000."

Seeing that his face was not fake, Sun Xiurong nodded, "So, whether it is the Uighurs coming or Wang Zhongsi coming, you are not the opponent. Well, then just give up the ordinary herder. With the White-Brow Khan, no matter who comes, he will besiege the platform to the death."

(The complete destruction of the Turkic Khanate, whether it is the Uighurs or the Tang Dynasty, will be regarded as a priority target)

"A place about 400 miles southeast of this place is where Ben Khan's tent is located, and about 500 miles north is where Ben Khan's other army, Rao Le, each with 5,000 elite troops. Once the enemy arrives, you will immediately send a quick horse to ask me for help."

"My army will definitely arrive at two days at the fastest, three days at the latest."

Pugu Huaien nodded, his eyes full of gratitude, but also full of doubts, and finally he asked.

"Khan, you are the Grand Governor of the Jin tribe of the Tang Dynasty and a Han Chinese. Why do you want to help the Turks?"

Sun Xiurong smiled and said, "You are a smart person, so you won't go around the corner. Uighurs were also one of the most imperial officials of the Turks before. What's the result? My Khan came from the Western Regions and you may have learned about the situation along the way. I'm going to hide it from you. Now, in the eyes of the Uighurs, the White-Browed Khan must die, but in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, cough cough..."

He didn't say it thoroughly, but Pugu Huaien roughly understood.

But he still didn't understand in the end.
