Chapter 615: Outside the Great Wall

Bai Dao.

The Turkic golden wolf flag was flying high.

In February, the cold winter on the prairie just ended. This year, the winter on the prairie is particularly cold. After the heavy snowfall in winter, countless cattle, sheep and horses on the prairie were frozen to death. The Turkic Khan Chuluo decided to move the Turkic Khan in the south of the desert from Tieshan to the warmer and more abundant Baidao. In the past, Xianbei people were close to Shengle, the northern capital, so that the Turkic people could breathe a sigh of relief.

This time, the Khan's migration to the south caused a fierce debate within the Turks, and many Turkish elders also opposed the Chuluo Khan's decision to move south.

They believed that Chu Luo's decision to move the Khan Court in Yudujin Mountain in the north of the Mobei to Tieshan in the south of the Mobei was a violation of the wills left by generations of Turkic Khans, destroyed the rules of the Turkic ancestors, and lost the cover of the Thousand Mile Gobi Desert. Now Chu Luo further moved the Khan Court from Tieshan to the vicinity of Shengle, so it was very close to the territory of the Han people.

All the Turks were worried that Shengle City was within the farthest attack range of the iron cavalry of the Xi tribe of Zhao State, and the Turks were not as good as the Han people to protect themselves. In addition to several mountain passes such as Eyangling, the Turks had almost no danger to defend. Once Li Chongjiu intends to go to war with the Turks, the iron cavalry of Zhao State can directly attack the Turkic Khan Court.

The opposition of the Turkic elders was finally suppressed by Chu Luo. Dozens of heads fell to the ground, and blood suppressed any opposition. Chu Luo used the bloody means pursued by the Turks to borrow the matter of moving to the Khan Court, which not only eliminated dissidents, but also further strengthened his Khan right.

It is now June under the Yinshan Mountains, and Chuluo finally moved the Turkic Khan Court to Shengle, and to the south is Baidao. There is Wuchuan Town of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and further south is Mayi County.

Now, Khan, wearing Khan's golden crown, was sitting on the war horse and looking at him. He was surrounded by brave Turkic athletes who were hunting their bows and hunting. For Khan, who likes to hunt, he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't hunt for one day.

Chu Luo also likes to deal with government affairs during hunting. Now he is sending his envoy to Zhao State by his younger brother, Mohedushe, Ashinadus, just returned and reported to him.

"Brother, you have walked thousands of miles and have worked hard on the Zhao State. First, drink a bowl of horse milk wine, and then tell me about the situation in Luoyang." Chuluo Khan said.

The guards of Chuluo took a skin bag and poured the horse milk wine in the skin bag onto the bowl. Asuna Duo drank a bowl of horse milk wine, and the wine spilled it all over his sheepskin robe.

Ashina Duo touched his lips and covered his chest with his hands and said, "Reporting to Khan, Li Chongjiu has indeed ascended the throne in Luoyang. He not only conquered Luoyang, but also received the support of scholars. Even the Han people, such as King Bo and Meng Haigong, have defected to him, and the power of Zhao State has been further strengthened."

Chuluo Khan's face suddenly became worse.

"Father Khan clearly understands. After the last battle in Youjing, the strength of the Zhao army has shocked many leaders at the strength of the Han people. Now the power of Zhao State has further increased. We must not be careful." Chu Luo's second son, Taisha Asanser, spoke.

Chuluo Khan looked at Ashinaser and asked coldly: "You mean the same as those who oppose your father Khan. Do you want to persuade me to move the Khan north?"

"Father Khan, I don't think this way. But even if we don't move north, we must strengthen the defense of several mountain passes of Eyangling. Father Khan sees this steep Yinshan. It is the best barrier for Tengri to give us Turks, which can prevent the Zhao army from climbing over." "Asinasheer said.

Chuluo Khan whipped Ashinasheer and said, "We are the Turks who have never been to beat others. There is no one who is worried that others will beat Turks. You have no prospects and are not worthy of being my Chuluo's son."

Asuna Shel dared not speak anymore.

Chuluo Khan roared: "Those who oppose Ben Khan all have short-sighted eyes like rabbits. They all said that they could move to Shengle City, and the iron cavalry of the Zhao army could attack our Khan's house overnight. Why didn't they see that our Turkic cavalry could also attack the city of Youjing within one night! Are we more afraid of the Zhao people, or are the Zhao people more afraid of us?"

After hearing this, everyone thought to themselves that even if the Turkic cavalry attacked the city of Youjing, we had no choice but to use the high walls of Youjing. However, the cavalry of Zhao State wanted to attack the Turks, just as easy as a hungry wolf attacking a sheep without sheep pens or sheepdogs.

But now no one dares to say that. Asuna Duo said, "Khan, She'er is just a child, don't be angry. The Zhao army is now in Luoyang, Hedong, Henan to defend against Li Yuan and Du Fuwei. In Liaodong and Shandong, they have to guard against the Goguryeo people. They are surrounded by enemies, and there are no soldiers to attack our Khan Court. Even if they attack our Khan Court, are we still afraid of the Han people when fighting in the field?"

"Well said, it's the descendants of our Turks." Chu Luo nodded with satisfaction, and then glanced at his son again.

Zhao Deyan said on the side: "But Khan, in the last battle in Youjing, Li Chongjiu's Zhao army not only had the commander of the Han army's infantry, but also his cavalry like our grassland cavalry. However, as Mo Hedushe said, their heavy troops were Li Tang and Goguryeo were restrained, so they had no spare energy to attack the grassland at present, but they had to worry."

When Chuluo Khan heard Zhao Deyan say this, he frowned. He was not a person who did not listen to opposition. He killed people just to make others afraid of themselves, not to block the way of speech.

Regarding Zhao Deyan's opinion, Chu Luo Khan was still cautious. Chu Luo looked at Zhao Deyan and said, "I admit that in the battle of Youjing, the Zhao cavalry really surprised me. Li Chongjiu is a man who is more cunning than Li Yuan. In the past, I threatened the Xi tribe in the room and forced them to let Li Chongjiu cut off the Khan Khan position. I thought that Li Chongjiu would not agree with Li Chongjiu's temper. As long as he refused, we would have an excuse to attack Zhao and extinguish Li Chongjiu's power. But I didn't expect that Li Chongjiu would give up the Khan position and also won over Tuli, which made my final plan to send troops failed."

He said this and said, "But if you think that Ben Khan is just because of Tuli and Kedun, the Zhao power has grown step by step today, that would be wrong."

"Khan?" Zhao Deyan showed an unexpected look.

Chuluo turned his head and said to Zhao Deyan: "The reason why Ben Khan did not send troops to attack Zhao was, firstly because of Kedun and Thunderbolt. Secondly, because Ben Khan wanted to use Li Chongjiu to restrain Li Tang."

Zhao Deyan said: "Khan, if it was to suppress Li Tang and weaken Li Tang, why should we support such a powerful enemy?"

Chu Luo showed hatred and said, "The power of the Great Zhao was beyond the expectations of Ben Khan. But was Li Yuan not like this? When he sent Liu Wenjing to me to borrow troops, I thought he was just Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shi the same person, at most a dog. But he thought that Li Yuan was not a dog, but a tiger, or a lion. He already had the power to fight with me Turkic forces today. How could I not worry about him?"

Zhao Deyan suddenly said, "I understand what Khan means. That is, since there is Li Yuan, then the same is true for another Li Chongjiu?"

Chu Luo nodded and said, "You are still a little smart. Yes, under Youjing City, I know that it is impossible to destroy Zhao in a battle, so I decided to negotiate peace with Zhao, because I know that once Zhao State and Ben Khan negotiate peace with him, his next step must be to go to Luoyang to rescue Wang Shichong and prevent Luoyang from falling into Li Tang's hands, then he will definitely fight against Li Tang. Ben Khan negotiated peace with him to paralyze Li Chongjiu."

"Li Chongjiu and Li Yuan are both heroes of the Han people. In the words of you Han people, two tigers will fight each other and there will be one injury."

Everyone immediately understood that Chu Luo had planned this.

Chu Luo said: "This time Li Chongjiu and Li Shimin are under Luoyang City. Ben Khan thought there would be a decisive battle, no matter who wins or loses. Ben Khan would go south. If Li Tang wins, we would attack Li Tang to capture Hexi. If Zhao wins, we would attack Youjing to capture Shanggu. If there is no distinction between winning and losing, it would be even better."

Zhao Deyan nodded. This was the strategy of separation from the strong and weak that the Turks had always pursued, to attack the strongest forces among the Han people, to maintain the overlord status of the Turks and make it impossible for them to threaten the grassland.

"My troops have been mobilized secretly. Just waiting for the final news of this battle, I, the 300,000 Turkic cavalry, will go south. But I didn't expect that the two sides would end like this. Li Chongji, Li Yuan and others were all as careful as foxes. Li Yuan did not fight Li Chongji at all, so he gave up Luoyang. I thought peace talks could allow the two to relax their defenses against me and let them only stare at each other."

Everyone suddenly realized that this was the real reason why Chu Luo moved the Khan Court to Shengle, which was to shorten the attack distance between the Li Tang and Zhao State. However, they did not expect that the battle in Luoyang would end like this in the end, Chu Luo could only turn around and kill the dissidents in the tribe and consolidate the Khan position.

Asunaser asked Zhao Deyan: "I don't know the Han people. So, according to Mr. Zhao's view, which one is stronger, Li Tang or Da Zhao? Which one will be a major problem with my Turkic heart in the future?"

Zhao Deyan thought for a while and said, "The issue of expansion makes me very embarrassed. At present, Li Tang has more troops, population, and territory than Zhao State. Li Chongjiu has newly captured Luoyang and Hebei, and the people's hearts have not yet been recovered. He is not a rival to Li Tang at present. But if it takes a long time, the Great Zhao has the convenience of Luoyang, the transportation of Yongji Canal and Tongji Canal, and Li Chongji Canal is now supported by several major gentry members such as the Yang family, Lu family, Wang family, Cui family, etc., the Hebei gentry and the Guanlong family of Li Tang can compete, so in the end the power of the Great Zhao will catch up."

Asannacs nodded after hearing this, Asannac said, "If it weren't for Mr. Zhao, we would be like blind people. But now we want to attack Zhao State, Khan cannot ignore Kedun's emotions. You must know that Kedun has a very close relationship with the Yang family of the Great Zhao and the Xiao family. I heard that there are people interacting from time to time on both sides."

After hearing this, Chuluo Khan said with a sharp look: "I have known about Kedun for a long time. It's nothing. Kedun is my Turkic Kedun after all, and he knows that this is his real home. You don't have to worry about this."

Asuna Duo saw that Chu Luo was unhappy and quickly apologized.
