In the northwest of Hengzhou, Wuzhou River, a large number of people, cattle and sheep advanced southeast along the valley, with the purpose of Wuzhou Pass.

After leaving Wuzhou Pass, it was Heng'an, the capital of Hengzhou in Qi State in the Central Plains.

They were Turkic tribes who spent the winter on the southern foot of Daqing Mountain and stationed near Shengle, the old capital of Wei.

Now for some reason, Ye Hu ordered the camp to go southeast, from Canghekou (Sanhekou) to Canghe Pass (called Shenhe Pass in the Central Plains), then into Wuzhou Chuan River Valley, out of Wuzhou Pass, and arrive at Heng'an City.

Heng'an City is Pingcheng, the old capital of Wei.

Ye Hu, the younger brother of Juekhan, led many tribes to the south for winter. Because Qi, the Central Plains, sent people to ask for help, he drove to Hengzhou.

At this moment, there were flocks of sheep everywhere in Wuzhou River, and there was some congestion while the people were walking.

On the wheelbarrow, the elderly, weak, women and children were curled up in the carriage, looking at the dry rivers in the valley and the mountain walls on both sides, feeling a little warm.

Although spring is approaching, the weather is still cold. Long-distance travel with heavy snow and snow is a great test for both people and livestock.

Now the large team is walking in the east-west valley. Because it can shelter the wind, it is warmer than in Shengle.

There is water, grass, and cattle and sheep along the way, and at least they can fill their stomachs and will not lose weight so easily.

I just don’t know what the next battle will be like.

The war was the reason why they went south to Hengzhou in large numbers.

Generally speaking, tribes on the grassland will not fight in winter because they must keep cattle, sheep, horses and winter safely.

Livestock will lose weight very much during winter. If you fight at this time, if you are not careful, many cattle, sheep and horses will die.

However, when you have to force yourself, you still have to fight. As long as you win, the gains outweigh the losses, and that is the profit.

As for where this battle will be fought, many people don’t know, but one news has spread:

The Asina Special Service (photo taken by Aishina, the nephew of Khan, special name for the special service), was previously sent to Hengzhou by Ye Hu, and then surrounded the main force of the Chu army to the east of Hengzhou.

It is said that the king of Chu was also in the army.

As long as the Chu army is annihilated and the king of Chu is captured, the Turkic army continues to cross North Yanzhou to the east, and can break through Juyong Pass, enter Youzhou, and sweep Hebei in the Central Plains.

At the same time, a Chu army gathered in Huaihuang on the outer edge of the Great Wall north of Northern Yanzhou.

This Chu army seemed to have to go to the northern road, reach the northern foot of Daqing Mountain (Yin Mountain), go south through Baidao, and sneak attack the Turkic tribe south of Daqing Mountain, where the old capital of Wei State, Shenglei spent the winter.

Therefore, Ye Hu decided to set up the camp and advance southeast, follow the special service's march route, enter Hengzhou, turn east, and meet with the special service.

At that time, the Chu army hanging alone would attack Sheng Le and pounce on him, and the retreat would be gone. It would inevitably be like a lost lamb, sooner or later it would disappear on the grassland.

If they dare to return the same route, the Turkic army occupied the Northern Yanzhou by then, and they could wait for them to come to their door near Huaihuang.

You should know that more than ten years ago, the arrogant Rouran army was defeated by the Turkic army near the former land of Huaihuang Town, and its Khan was defeated and killed.

Now, the king of Chu in the Central Plains is either defeated and captured or killed.

After that, the State of Chu must have been divided and finally destroyed because of the sudden death of the king.

In the team, Ye Hu Ashinaku head riding a horse, looked at the stone slabs on the ground that were trampled by horse hooves and two deep ruts on the road, and remembered the idioms he heard from the Central Plains fugitives.

Repeat the same mistake.

The original meaning of this idiom is that the car moves along the ruts left by the car in front. The extended meaning is to follow the old path of others' failure.

The road they are taking now connects Shengle (west) and Pingcheng (east), the old capital of the Tuoba clan Wei Kingdom, so there were many business trips along the way back and forth.

So much so that deep ruts were left on the road, and a large number of stone roads that were trampled by horses' hooves.

However, when the Wei State moved its capital again and moved to the hinterland of the Central Plains, the place called "Luoyang", Pingcheng and Shengle gradually became deserted.

Shengle was abandoned, and Pingcheng became a remote town on the border. The six northern towns that had previously protected Pingcheng became places where poor soldiers and civilians gathered.

The capital of the country moved south to the heart of the Central Plains, and soon became corrupt and was beaten to death by the rebellious border troops of the six towns. In the end, it was replaced by others.

In Kutou's opinion, this is the consequence of being addicted to entertainment, just like the Rouran Khanate.

Then, the Turks cannot follow the old path and cannot repeat the same mistakes.

He decided to take advantage of the good opportunity of war between the Central Plains countries and occupy Heng'an (Pingcheng), and then take this as the foundation to take action against the Central Plains countries to obtain more resources.

But there is no need to find a way to become a Central Plains country.

The Central Plains are very rich. With their force, they can obtain a large amount of money, food, livestock, and population. These resources are like weeds that have been cut and grown, and are endless.

The snatched property, grain, cloth and population were transported to Heng'an, along the road in front of you, and then to Shengle, then from Baidao to Daqing Mountain, and transported to the grassland.

Distributed to various divisions of the Khanate.

All parts of the Central Plains provide a large number of people, food, and money to the Turkic Khanate, just like paying taxes.

Heng'an is the garrison of the tax collection team. As long as the Turkic army takes Heng'an as the camp, it can go south to collect taxes regularly.

Or letting the Central Plains countries surrender and pay tribute regularly, which will be easier.

If the territory of the Turkic Khanate continues to expand south in the future, we cannot give up Heng'an, and we cannot move the Khan's court to the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Because the grassland is the foundation of the Khanate, if you covet the flower world of the Central Plains and move the royal court to the Central Plains, you will end up like the Wei Kingdom of the Tuoba clan.

Kutou heard people talk about the history of the Tuoba family's origin. It is said that at first, the Tuoba family's living place was in the northeast of the grassland and later went south.

When we arrived at the area where the Khitan tribes were grazing, we turned west, passed Daqingshan, settled in the southern part of Daqingshan, established the country and established the capital Shengle.

Then, he moved to Pingcheng in the southeast, and then continued to go south, establishing capital in the abdomen of the Central Plains, becoming a country in the Central Plains, no longer the Khanate on the grassland.

Finally, the last name was changed.

In Kutou's opinion, this was simply incredible: he walked all the way south, then threw the grassland he started to do to someone else, and finally changed his surname. What is this?

It was equivalent to the establishment of the Turkic Khanate, and the tribes continued to run eastward, towards the grasslands of Jinan, and threw the place where they started, the north of Jinan to others, and changed the Ashina family to the Han surname.

Kutou felt that such stupid behavior was to perish himself.

The Turkic Khanate cannot be like the Tuoba Wei State.

If he had ruled the eastern grasslands, he would never have been fascinated by the flower world of the Central Plains.

The den is located at most in Heng'an, and you can no longer move south, so you can avoid the old path of the Tuoba family.

Before we knew it, the sun rose to the top of our heads, and the cry of the sheep echoed around the valley. At this moment, the wind suddenly sounded loudly in front of us, as if the wind suddenly blew up.

It is very common for wind to rise in the valley, but the wind is filled with howling, shouting, and a lot of horse hooves.

The marching team gradually stopped by the commotion coming from the front, and the flock of sheep that flowed like a river gradually stopped.

The front became more and more chaotic, and the noise quickly became bigger. After a while, many people ran back, shouting, "Enemy, the enemy is here!"

The shouting made the people behind him feel confused, because according to the news I knew before, there were all their own people in front of him, and there were many soldiers stationed in Heng'an, so where did the enemy come from?

Kutou got the news from the front and soon realized something was wrong: there was an ambush!

At this moment, the enemy he could think of was Qi Jun, the original owner of Hengzhou.

Hengzhou is the territory of Qi, but the Qi army could not stop the attacking Chu army before, so they were asked to go south to assist in the war, and "two-for-treaty" Hengzhou and give it to them as a winter camp.

Therefore, the enemy ahead is unlikely to be the Chu army, because the main force of the Chu army was surrounded by his nephew Ashina, and another Chu army that arrived in Shuozhou area was unable to protect itself, so how could it be...

Thinking of this, Kutou's back felt cold: Could it be that the photos are taken...

A huge shout suddenly broke out in front of him, which was shouting, and the noise was so loud that it seemed as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking. This shout reminded Kutou of the roar of the waterfalls in the mountains.

And the roar happened in the valley. The originally stagnant crowd suddenly flowed back like the river water suddenly intercepted by a dam.

The defeated people in front kept running backwards, and the more people ran, the more people they ran, and rushed towards them.

Kutou issued orders and organized defenses from various departments, but how can it be organized in a hurry?

No one expected to encounter an enemy situation during this march, so the troops grew up with a mixed number of personnel, and many young and strong people walked with their families. The large team was like a giant snake, crawling in the long valley.

It is not easy for the chiefs of each department to convene the subordinates, let alone gathering troops from each department to fight?

Seeing the defeated defeated soldiers trampling on their own people behind, the scene became more and more chaotic like an avalanche. Kutou complained in his heart, and took the people around and ran away.
