    At this time, when the main force of the Sui army defeated the main force of the Khitan at Tuohuchen River, Wei Yunqi was also ordered to rush to the grassland.

    I thought that everyone would win the grain scene, but to Wei Yunqi's expectation, various tribes in the grassland had doubts about the Sui Dynasty, so they had some resistance to the southern expedition to Khitan.  As for those die-hard brothers who were willing to send troops to the Sui Dynasty, Huang Mingyuan didn't want to use them, so they couldn't make the trip for a long time.

    The Bayagu, Tongluo, Qimin and other tribes have been recuperating in the past two years. In fact, they control a lot of pasture but few people, so they are unwilling to take the initiative.  Moreover, everyone was trapped miserably by the Sui army, and they were really afraid of a trap.

    The ministries excused the cold weather and did not send troops.  It was not until the end of April that the weather got warmer and the ministries really had no choice but to obey the orders of the Sui Dynasty and send troops to Khitan.

    Wei Yunqi mobilized a total of 30,000 Hu troops, divided into thirty battalions. He also ordered the army to be divided into one line for every 5,000 people, making a total of six armies to set off.  Each camp is separated by one mile and is not allowed to mix. They move when they hear the sound of drums and stop when they hear the sound of trumpets. They are not allowed to gallop unless there is official business.

    After three orders and five orders, the army beat drums and marched forward.

    At that time, there was a Hegan in the Qi Min Ministry who felt that he was a Hu and did not belong to the Han people, so he turned a deaf ear to Wei Yunqi's orders.  Wei Yunqi repeatedly restrained them, but these people were difficult to tame.  Wei Yunqi knew long ago that he could not subdue these barbarians without establishing his authority, so he beheaded Hegan directly and sent an order to the three armies.

    At this point, everyone in the Hu tribe was greatly frightened. When they saw Wei Yunqi, they all knelt down and walked, trembling, and did not dare to look up.

    On May 18, the Hu soldiers led by Wei Yunqi and Huang Mingzhen's troops, who were out of the fortress again, met at the source of the weak Luoshui River.

    After Huang Mingzhen's troops defeated the Khitan army, they attacked several times, but the Khitan people fled far away and gained nothing.  After the Khitan people suffered the last loss, they all fled north and hid far away.  Huang Mingzhen did not dare to attack rashly, so he returned without success.

    When Wei Yunqi led his troops to set off, Huang Mingzhen also ordered his troops to attack again.  This time both sides are preparing to sweep the entire Khitan from west to east and completely eliminate the Khitan people.

    The Khitan was originally subordinate to the Turks, but later became independent after Huang Mingyuan's Northern Expedition.

    This time Wei Yunqi ordered these barbarians to falsely claim to be in Liucheng to do business with the Koreans, and ordered anyone who dared to reveal the truth to be killed.  The Khitans had surrendered to the Turks, and the Khitans who survived the disaster also thought that the Sui army had completed its revenge and would not come back, so they did not take precautions against the large group of Hu cavalry crossing the border.

    Huang Mingzhen led the coalition forces all the way to the northeast, and finally found traces of the Khitan people in the area north of Ruoluoshui.  At this time, the great Heduluo had almost fled to the territory of the Shiwei people.

    The southern expedition to Yingzhou was unsuccessful, and it also provoked the Sui people, a formidable enemy. The rule of Daheduluo was naturally unstable.  Fortunately, the strength of the Dahe tribe was far superior to that of the other tribes, and the Dahe Duluo was good at political struggles. Therefore, the Dahe Duluo eliminated the two groups of rebels and barely maintained the Khitan Alliance.

    But I really didn¡¯t dare to stay south of the Luoshui River. It was so close to the Han people and they were all under the attack of the Sui army.  Daheduluo had no choice but to migrate all the way north.

    Arriving to the north of the weak Luo River, Dahe Duoluo no longer dared to make enemies on all sides, and began to order all his troops to recuperate here.  This time the Khitans suffered heavy losses when they went south, and all of them were young and strong. In the next two years of disaster, the alliance of the eight Khitan tribes will collapse.

    Daheduluo wanted to recuperate, but the Sui army did not give him this opportunity.

    On May 25, the coalition forces that crossed the weak Luoshui River went all the way north and pursued them until they were less than fifty miles away from the Khitan camp.  At this time, the Khitan people had not discovered it yet.

    At this time, everything was ready, and Huang Mingzhen ordered Wei Yunqi to lead 20,000 Hu cavalry to attack the Khitan camp directly.  Huang Mingzhen and Zhao Shiti led more than 10,000 troops to encircle them from both sides.

    The Khitan people were caught off guard and were taken directly to the camp.

    As a tribe that dared to challenge the Sui Dynasty, the Khitan people were strong enough.  Before the Yingzhou War, the Khitans had 15,000 tents, about 70,000 people, and could field more than 20,000 elite cavalry.

    At this time, the Khitan's main cavalry only numbered more than 10,000 people, so how could they defeat more than 40,000 elite cavalrymen.  In addition, the Sui army fought deliberately and unintentionally. Once the two sides fought, the Khitan army immediately collapsed.

    " Moreover, the Khitan camp was full of old, weak, sick and disabled people, which greatly restricted the Khitan people's defense.

    The entire battlefield actually destroyed the entire Khitan resistance force like a torrent.  The coalition forces won a complete victory in this battle and captured more than 50,000 Khitan men and women, killing them without any plan.  Only Daheduluo broke through with a small army and disappeared.

    The 50,000 Khitan men and women who were captured were killed. The men were killed, and half of the captured Khitan women and livestock were given to the Hu people who participated in the war. The rest were collected and taken back by Huang Mingzhen.

    Such a great victory basically destroyed the strength of the Khitan??.  Wei Yunqi wanted to retreat, but Huang Mingzhen refused.  In Huang Mingzhen's view, although the Khitans were defeated, they could still be dead but not stiff.  The Khitan has a profound foundation and is close to Youzhou. If it is allowed to revive, it will easily become a thorn in the northeast of the Sui Dynasty.  Therefore, Huang Mingzhen decided to eliminate evil and completely destroy the Khitan people.

    Huang Mingzhen ordered all departments to attack and clean up the Khitan grassland.

    Daheduluo was beaten so hard that he fled as far as Mohe and entered the mountains before escaping with his life.  The remaining Khitan remnants were not so lucky. After a double blow from the Hu and Sui armies, by July there were no Khitans in the entire Khitan grassland.

    So the army returned.

    Although all the grassland tribes were mobilized to fight for the Sui Dynasty in this battle, because the defeat of the Khitan was as devastating as the Khitan, the tribes also gained a lot from it.

    To the west of Khitan are the Xi people, who belong to the Donghu branch. They mainly engage in hunting and animal husbandry, and also engage in a small amount of agriculture. Their strength is not weak.  At this time, the grassland tribes saw that the Khitan was a soft persimmon, so they hoped to take the opportunity to attack the Xi people and seize the spoils.

    At this time, the Sui army saw that the battle against Khitan was going so smoothly, and they also hoped to take the opportunity to attack Xi Ren and earn meritorious service.

    Everyone asked to attack the Xi people, especially the barbarians in the grassland. The crowd was so angry that Wei Yunqi could not suppress it.

    Huang Mingzhen certainly understood what these people were thinking, so he rejected the suggestion of attacking Xi Ren.  I saw several barbarian leaders jumping up and down, even trying to disobey military orders and act alone.  Huang Mingzhen immediately killed these people as a warning to everyone.

    Huang Mingzhen knew very well that the Khitan was defeated because the other party took the initiative to provoke them. In order to deter the Sui Dynasty, they had to send troops.  But both the Xi tribe and the Khitan were buffers between the Sui Dynasty and the Tongluo tribe.  If the Xi tribe is eliminated, the Tongluo tribe will benefit the most.  Therefore, for the Sui Dynasty, the Xi tribe was not eliminated, but pushed to the front line against Tongluo.

    Huang Mingzhen ordered people to appease the Xi tribe.  The Xi people were already wary of the Sui Dynasty's conquest of the Khitan, but now the Sui Dynasty took the initiative to show their kindness and dared not to obey orders.  Therefore, the Xi people accepted the canonization of the Sui Dynasty and became a subordinate of the Sui Dynasty.

    In this battle, the Sui Dynasty greatly frightened the grassland tribes and basically maintained its deterrent power against the north.  After the war, Huang Mingzhen went to Pingyin County to found the country, added 300 households, and was appointed the general manager of Pingzhou General Management Office.

    And Wei Yunqi was promoted to Minister of War.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
