Yi Shibo died on the battlefield of the charge, and his son Da Luo embarked on the journey back east with less than 4,000 remnants of Xue Yantuo's tribe. It is two thousand miles from the Yilie River to Jinshan, and I don't know how far it is from Jinshan to Mobei, but the Xueyantuo tribe has no hesitation in going forward. They want room for survival, even if the road ahead is long.
·······
Ashina Chu killed the main force of Xue Yantuo's tribe. Looking at Yi Shibo's body, he felt no happiness in his heart.
Ashina Chu is one of the few people in the Western Turks with outstanding strategic vision, so he couldn't be happy. The Xueyantuo Tribe was originally a tribe affiliated with the Western Turks. If the Xueyantuo Tribe had not betrayed Yesuo Mountain, the Western Turks would have had a chance to face the Sui army, the Yazhang would not have fallen, and there might not have been chaos in the river. Yechuan Grassland will not be in such chaos.
And south of Tianshan Mountain.
The Sui army occupied Yanqi and the Western Turks had no time to take care of it. The Sui army occupied Gaochang, but the Western Turks still had no time to take care of it. Now the Sui army has ordered the troops to march south of the Tianshan Mountains, and they have moved down to Qiuci and other places, and even to the entire south of the Tianshan Mountains. However, due to the rebellion of Xue Yantuo's tribe, the Western Turks still had no time to take care of it and watched the Sui forces move westward.
In July of the tenth year of Daye, Khan Shekui returned to Suiyechuan from the river. As soon as I returned to my hometown, I heard shocking news.
"Brother, the tooth tent is lost!"
Seeing Shekui Khan, Ashina hugged his brother's thigh and burst into tears.
Shekui Khan was shocked, his head was dizzy, and he almost fell down.
The Sanmi Mountain Yazhang is not very important in the military sense to the Western Turks, but its political significance is extremely important. In the sixty years since the Western Turks took control of the Western Regions, there has never been a case where the tents have been breached one after another. Actually, only twice, the last two times.
"The Sui army bullied people too much."
·······
Taking advantage of the civil strife in the Western Turks, Huang Mingliao successively occupied the three kingdoms of Yanqi, Gaochang, and Qiuci. Finally, he freed up his hands to attack the Turkic tents in Sanmi Mountain. If Huang Mingliao had not had insufficient troops, he could have taken advantage of this opportunity. Go straight to the home base of the Western Turks and attack the Broken Yechuan Grassland.
Hearing the news of the chaos in the West Turkic River, in line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, he immediately sent people to the river to form an alliance with the opponent. But the two sides were thousands of miles apart, and he had no idea about the strength and ability of this group of people. This move was just "a shot with some dates but no dates", which did not give him much hope.
In the spring of this year, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Western Turks was no longer there, he arranged an attack on the Turks' tents.
In fact, the timing was better last year, but there was still no one, and they defeated Yanqi, Gaochang, and Qiuci in succession. The few people in hand continued to be diluted, and there was no possibility of fighting a big battle.
After a winter, Huang Mingliao and Li Jie worked hard and finally gathered 20,000 troops, and then they had the opportunity to fight this battle.
The Western Turks did not have many troops at Sanmi Mountain Yazhang, only about 10,000 horses.
Since Xue Yantuo’s tribe raided here, Shekui Khan was ready to give up here. On the one hand, this place was burned down by Xue Yantuo's tribe. It would take a lot of effort to rebuild it. On the other hand, this place is too close to the Sui Dynasty. Although it is convenient to expand eastward, it is also under the nose of the Sui army, and the Sui army can attack this place at any time.
It doesn’t make much sense to stay in Sanmi Mountain any longer.
But this is a Turkic tent after all. If it had been another time, the retreat would have been withdrawn, but now there is a rebellion in the river, and the Xueyantuo tribe is raging in the Suiye River. In order to maintain the rule of the Western Turks south of the Tianshan Mountains and give confidence to the vassal countries, Shekui Khan must hold on here. .
Therefore, Shekui Khan gave Ashina a death order and must guard Sanmi Mountain.
Ashina is also very powerful. With more than 10,000 cavalry, it is simply impossible for someone to defend Sanmi Mountain. However, all the sons of Shekui Khan were lost. With the life span of the Turks, it would be difficult for them to live long enough to have another adult son. As the direct brother of Shekui Khan and even the future heir, Ashina was bound to set an example.
The Western Turks were not good at defending, so Ashina had to set up a fence around Sanmi Mountain as a defensive fortification.
When the Sui army occupied Wulei City and the Qibi tribe returned to Yingsaochuan, Ashina began to be frightened. In order to maintain the huge image of the Western Turks and confuse the Sui army and other countries in the Western Regions, he constantly dispatched troops, divided into small groups, to plunder westward.
The effect was very obvious at first. The Western Turkic cavalry came and went without a trace. Qin Qiong was stationed in Wulei City, and logistics supplies needed to be transported from Yanqi. The Western Turkic cavalry attacked the Sui army's grain transport teams many times, and the supply lines in Wulei City were seriously damaged.
Qin Qiong tried to encircle and annihilate the opponent several times, but before he could take action, the opponent escaped.
So Qin Qiong made a plan. He prepared a hundred fake grain trucks in advance.He ambushed five brave soldiers, armed with long swords for killing horses and powerful crossbows, and used thin soldiers to pull the chariot forward, and also sent elite soldiers to follow closely behind secretly.
At this time, the Western Turkic cavalry came to raid the grain transport team after hearing the inquiry. The thin soldiers pulling the cart escaped immediately after seeing the Western Turkic army.
The Western Turkic army captured countless items without any effort. So everyone used horses to quickly pull the cart to a place with water and grass, took off the saddle and let the horse eat grass. When this group of people was about to get food from the car, the elite soldiers of the Sui army suddenly rushed out, and the ambush troops behind them also arrived just in time. The crowd swarmed forward and killed all the Turkic soldiers.
After that, Qin Qiong did the same thing twice more. From then on, no Turkic army dared to approach the Sui army's grain trucks.
Seeing that this plan failed, Ashina continued to show his teeth and claws at the Sui army.
The Sui army was insufficient in strength at first and was suppressed by the Western Turks. After Huang Mingcheng captured Qiuci and surrounded Sanmi Mountain from the south, Ashina began to be even more frightened.
Many people advised Ashina to retreat quickly, otherwise he would be surrounded and annihilated by the Sui army. Ashina also wanted to leave, but Shekui Khan, who was suppressing the rebellion in the river at this time, sent several orders to Ashina, telling him to keep his tent. Ashina wanted to leave but did not dare to leave. He was besieged internally and externally and was really in dire straits.
The failure of the Sui army to complete its assembly before the winter of the ninth year of Daye was Ashina's last luck. But Huang Mingliao didn't make things easy for Ashina either.
Based on the strategy of "the enemy can come, we can go," Ashina continued to send people to harass the Sui army. Huang Mingliao also ordered the Qibi troops to attack continuously and harass Sanmi Mountain.
The Qibi tribe hated the Western Turks deeply, and Qibi Ge even ordered that anyone who encountered the Western Turks must be killed. As a result, large groups of Qibi cavalry continued to strangle the area around Sanmi Mountain, and all the surrounding Western Turkic herdsmen were killed.
Throughout the winter, the two sides fought openly and secretly in various ways. Although there was no big battle, the smoke was everywhere and everyone showed their special abilities. The Western Region is cold in winter, but the area around Sanmi Mountain is scorching hot, because this battlefield has been soaked in hot blood this winter.
In March of the tenth year of Daye, in early spring, when the snow-capped mountains were still not frozen, Huang Mingliao set out from Luntai, mobilized his troops, and launched a general attack on Sanmi Mountain.
