Mid October.

At the foot of Yinshan Mountain, Chile River, the sky is like a sky, covering all the fields.

This is a plump grassland, which the Han people called Qiantao, and the most fertile part of the Hetao Plain. It is made of millions of years of water from the Yellow River, flat and without mountains, and has sufficient water sources. The land is fertile, and it can be cultivated or pastored. The Yellow River is rich, and it is rich.

Since the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, the Eastern Turkic Khan Court moved south and moved to the Qiantao Plain at the foot of Yinshan Mountain in the south of the desert.

After Qimin, Shibi and Chuluo, Jie Li Khan was the fourth Eastern Turkic Khan called Khan here. From here, it was the land of Daibei. Since the Sui Dynasty, Liu Wuzhou raised an army and occupied Daibei. After the defeat, his old subordinate Yuan Junzhang surrendered to the Turks and occupied Daibei until the bottom of Yanmen Pass.

Yuan Junzhang from Daibei became a buffer between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty.

But not long ago, Li Jing and Li Ji each led only 5,000 elite cavalry and went out of Yanmen Pass and Jundu Pass. They recovered Yun, Shuo and Wei in one fell swoop, recovered Daibei, and also broke the buffer zone between the Tang and the Turks.

The sixth year of Wude, mid-October.

In the early morning, the sky was not clear, the night was dark, and the north wind was howling.

Suddenly, cavalry rushed out one after another on the outer Great Wall line north of Yunzhou.

In Hedong, there are two Great Walls. They were built and reinforced from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Northern Qi Dynasty. One is the Inner Great Wall. Between Shuozhou and Daizhou, Yanmen Pass and Loufan Pass are the most dangerous city on this Inner Great Wall. Further north, there is also a Great Wall, which is in the west of Shuozhou and north of Yunzhou, which is longer.

When Yuan Junzhang was entrenching in the north of Dai, the northern border of the Tang Dynasty was actually the inner Great Wall, and Yanmen Pass was an important gateway to the north. The outer Great Wall was long ago not a guard against the Turks. They went in and out of the north of Dai, and they went out as soon as they wanted to go in and entered, and did not defend them at all.

But after Li Jing and Li Ji attacked Daibei, the Tang army pushed the border line to the outer Great Wall.

Now, the Hedong cavalry led by Li Jing sent troops from the Great Wall line to the Qiantao Plain to the west of Shuozhou, while the Hebei cavalry led by Li Ji advanced to the Chilechuan from the Great Wall line to the north of Yunzhou.

The two routes marched at the same time, with 10,000 cavalry as the pioneer and suddenly attacked the plain occupied by the Turks. In the rear, there were 20,000 infantry and cavalry as follow-up troops, and they were following them.

Fifty thousand troops attacked in Hedong and Hebei.

This is no longer the last time I took the lead and then reported.

This time, the actions of the two Lis were approved by the court and the emperor, and even the combat plan was said to be the hands of the military god Li Chao.

The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Jie Li and his nephew Tuli and Hu Shezhai fought at the foot of Yinshan. At this time, the second Li led the Tang army to send troops in the name of attacking Jie Li and supporting Tuli and Yu Shezhai.

The name of interference was when Eliver of the Khlokhan was dying. He had instructed his brother Shibi Khan's son Tuli to succeed the throne, but Jie Li usurped the throne.

Now the Tang Dynasty wants to rectify the chaos and support Tuli Khan to regain the Khan throne.

The Tang Dynasty did not take advantage of the situation, but came to preside over justice for the friendly Turks of the Tang Dynasty.

At present, Jie Li was strong, and Tu Li and Yu Shi were in a weak and difficult situation. Of course, the Tang Dynasty sent troops based on the principle of justice.

There have always been such entanglements between countries. Jie Li had just married a princess from the Tang Dynasty and was still a relative of the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He wanted to call the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty by brother-in-law. But so what? If Jie Li was destroyed, maybe a princess would be given to Tuli at that time, or the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would directly include Tuli's sister in the palace. If there is no girl, then Tuli would always have a daughter. If there is no daughter, then it would be the same to recognize a daughter. Anyway, all he wanted was a identity. The Tang princess who was given to Jie Li in the Tang Dynasty was not a real princess.

Like many wars, the Battle of Daibei is also a premeditated war.

Before this, at least a year ago, the Turks were still powerful and could rob the existence of the Tang Dynasty at any time. They could go south whenever they wanted. The Tang Dynasty was robbed and tributes had to be delivered on time every year.

But just half a year later, the situation changed drastically.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had a very good relationship with the Turks, and the person changed.

I changed into a younger, more impulsive and more warlike emperor. I thought such a young emperor was easy to deal with, but the truth was not the case.

The young emperor used his younger important minister Li Chao to easily win over more Fan countries as allies in the southwest, and even turned many Fan countries into inner-behind countries of the Tang Dynasty. The Tuyuhun, who used to restrain the Tang people, was also devastated by Li Chao.

After Li Chao took over Tuyuhun, he used a more rapid momentum to deal with Liang Shidao and seize Shuofang. In addition, Liu Heita and Gao Kaidao were defeated before, which caused the situation to change suddenly.

The most unexpected thing was Tuli and Yu Shezhe's rebellion, and the Tieler people in the north also rebelled, which made Jie Li frustrated and the powerful Eastern Turks fell into civil strife.

The Tang army took the opportunity to kill Yuan Junzhang again, and even Empress Xiao and the Sui King Yang Zhengdao, whom they established, were captured.

The offense and defense are easy to attack and defense.

When Li Jing and Li Ji attacked, the Turks were busy with civil war. The young and strong were gathered together, riding war horses and carrying swords, fighting each other and chasing each other. What they left on the grassland ranch were their parents, their wives, daughters, and their Han slaves.

Outside the Great Wall.

On the pasture by Zihe River, Wang Yushun, a former man from Wutai Mountain, Daizhou, Hedong, was shearing wool for sheep. The weather was very good, and the wool on the sheep was also very long, which was a good time to shear wool.

The male owner of this herdsman went out to fight and took his teenage eldest son with him. The family was left with his father, young brother, mother, wife, and several of his children.

In addition to this family, there are five slaves in the family, two women and three men. One older man is a Tieler slave, and the other four are in their twenties and thirties, all from the Central Plains. Some have been slaves on the grassland for more than ten years, while others have only been more than a year.

Wang Yushun was arrested during the robbery of the Turkic period in Wude for five years. After several changes of hands, he was bought by the owner of the family.

As a slave, he had gradually gotten used to life here. Although he had run away at the beginning, he would have been caught and beaten to death every time he ran away. If it weren't for the other Han slave compatriots taking care of him, he would have died long ago.

He later realized that he could not escape at all. On the grassland, if the slaves escaped, all the Turks would help catch the escaped slaves. If they were alone, the Turks would arrest them when they saw them, and many people were even killed directly when they ran away.

In the vast grassland, where can I escape?

Now he doesn't escape and accepts his life.

He grazed cattle and horses every day. Although he had no chains on his body, he would not run away.

After he no longer escapes, he will not be beaten. In his hometown, he lives a normal life, but when he arrives here, he can eat a full meal every day. However, as a slave, he is far away from his hometown and cannot see his parents, wife and children again, which often makes him feel very heartbroken at night.

He often dreamed at night that one day the imperial army could fight to the grassland, rescue him, and let him return to his hometown, and meet his parents, wife and children in his hometown again. As long as he could meet him and be buried in his hometown after death, he would be willing to die.

He sharpened the knife very quickly, and Wang Yushun began to catch the sheep. He was now able to pull a big sheep with one leg and lift it over very well, press the sheep easily, and then skillfully cut the wool with the knife. He could cut the wool quickly and well without hurting the sheep.

When he cut off the wool of another sheep and sent it to the other side to the two Han compatriots' girls simply spin it into thick ropes, he heard a message.

I heard that Tang Jun was out of seclusion.

Although the news was not sure, he felt inexplicably excited. He could realize that the court had really set up the Great Wall and he might be able to return to his hometown.

On that day, before the wool was cut, and there was still a warm sun in the sky, a black shadow appeared in the distance.

A Turkic herder ran away in panic in front of him!

The Tang army left the pass and made an expedition in the north!

The Turkic masters panicked and led the horse. They ignored everything, were extremely panicked and frightened, and just wanted to escape immediately, leaving the tent, cattle and horse, leaving the flock of sheep still cutting their hair, and their slaves!

Wang Yushun, holding a sharp wool-cutting knife, stared blankly as the black line became closer and closer, clearer and taller!

Suddenly, no idea where the courage came from, Wang Yushun held the sharp knife and rushed towards the Turkic people who wanted to escape.

Usually, he didn't dare to look up at them, but now his eyes were filled with fire, with excitement.

He shouted, he screamed, he held the knife, his whole body full of blood boiling.

He didn't know why he did this, but he just felt hot and his blood rushed up, and then he followed his thoughts to do it.

With one knife, he stabbed into the chest of the old Turkic man who had just turned around.

"Go to die, old Turkic dog!"

Although this old Turkic man looked thin, his eyes were very vicious. He shook his whip, and he was fierce and accurate. He had beaten Wang Yushun several times to death.

Even the two female Han compatriots were dragged into the tent more than once by this old dog.

Blood gushed.

After seeing the blood, Wang Yushun became more and more excited.

He drew his sword, stabbed again, pulled it out, and stabbed in.

He stabbed the old dog to death with more than a dozen stabs in a row, and then rushed towards the next one.

Under the leadership of Wang Yushun, several other slaves also picked up their knives and rushed towards the Turkic people. When the Tang cavalry rushed over, the family was half dead, and a few were escaping in panic. They even forgot to resist.

"Okay, we are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Let's hand them over to us now!"

The officer in Mingguang armor immediately said to Wang Yushun. Several soldiers rushed up and knocked the remaining Turks to the ground with one shot, and then tied up all the cowhide ropes.

"Kill them!" Wang Yushun shouted.

"It's a pity to kill. These people are taking them back and they can be sent to the mine to mine and open mountains and build roads. You can't waste it!"

"Are you Han?"

Wang Yushun nodded, looked at the blood-stained knife in his hand, and left it.

"We will register your identity later and check it back. As long as the identity is true, we will send you back to your hometown!"

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome, we're late." said the officer of the government soldier.

After pausing, the officer continued to say to him, "You should know how many cattle and sheep there are in this Turkic family, and where to grazle them. We need your help to get all these cattle, sheep, horses, and camels. We need these!"
