That line of small print clearly stated that the Sui army gave Du Mi a three-day deadline. After three days, if Du Mi still stayed in Du Jishi's camp and refused to accept Mulin as the Turkic Khan, the Sui army would
The tribe will be wiped out with blood.
The association leader was overjoyed and said: "Three days! Great. Du Mi, let's ambush near your tribe. As long as those Sui people dare to come, we will kill them all!"
Du Mi hesitated and said: "Okay, let's split up and I'll go back to the tribe to make some preparations."
At first, Liu Ziqiu did not exterminate all the aggressive tribesmen, and did not even take the opportunity to possess his beautiful wife Gulia. Although the Turks did not have too many scruples about the relationship between men and women, Liu Ziqiu did so, and Gulia was very grateful. Of course,
After hearing the commotion between Liu Ziqiu and Mu Duoli, Gu Liya really wanted to feel the impact of Liu Ziqiu's strength. However, Gu Liya said a lot of good things for Liu Ziqiu in her letter to Du Mi.
Du Mi didn't want to confront Liu Ziqiu. Gu Liya's words did play a big role, but what was more important was the news brought by the surviving tribesmen. There were many tribal warriors who survived the battle. These warriors talked about the Sui Dynasty
The powerful combat power of the army still lingered in his heart. This forced Du Mi to seriously consider the gains and losses.
Dujishi asked him and the association to lead elite troops to recapture the Turkic Yazhang, and he had no way to refuse. Now, the Yazhang has been returned to their hands. Although it has been burned clean by a fire, his mission is finally completed.
There was no need to continue chasing the Sui army on the grassland, so he was not active along the way. Now there was a new problem. The Sui army was targeting his tribe again, and they would not let them go like last time.
.
Weighing the pros and cons, Du Mi did not think that with their 60,000 troops, they could ensure victory over the Sui army. As a result of defeat, his tribe would cease to exist. The association rate did not matter to Tatarin, their tribe had already been defeated by the Sui army.
The army was wiped out, but most of the fierce tribes were still there, unwilling to repeat their mistakes.
When leading his team of 30,000 people to the tribe, Du Mi suddenly summoned all the leaders and said: "The Han people pay attention to benevolence, justice and generosity, but this Sui army is completely different. They are even more cruel than us Turks."
Cruel. They are about to come to my tribe, what do you think?"
A bearded leader stood up and said: "Since the Han people are so cruel, then we will fight them to the death and protect the safety of our people to the death!"
Du Mi shook his head and said: "What are we fighting for? Isn't it just to let the tribesmen live a good life? If all the tribesmen died in the war, what's the point? I heard that as long as Mullin becomes a Turk
Khan, the Han people will open border markets. I want to make Mulin the Turkic Khan to avoid the disaster of war. What do you think?"
Several leaders jumped up: "No! Mullin is from the Ast tribe, how can he be a Turkic Khan!"
Du Mi sneered: "More than a hundred years ago, the Ashidians and us Ashina people had a fierce dispute over who should be the Turkic Khan. In the end, the Ashina people were able to win, not because of the Ashina people.
How powerful it is, but the Astide people gave in. One moment, another moment. Now that the Astide people have the support of the Sui people, will they be willing to continue to surrender? Rather than fighting and losing both sides, it is better to give in and form an association.
The tribe of Tartarin doesn’t even have a single piece of wool left, so of course they want to kill the Sui people. Your tribe and mine are still here, are we going to end up with the same fate as them?”
The last sentence is the key. The leaders present have all seen the tragic scene after the Tatarin tribe and the Meng'an tribe were robbed, and no one wants their tribe to suffer such a fate. To avoid this situation, there are only two
The first choice was to completely eliminate the Sui cavalry that entered the grassland. The second was to break away from Du Jishi's team in accordance with the requirements of the Sui people and appoint Mulin as the new Turkic Khan. Both of these choices made them very embarrassed.
If they were the Ashed tribe, of course they would make the second choice without hesitation, but they are the Ashina tribe. If they choose the second path, they are likely to be despised. But the first choice is not
It is so easy to complete. The Mobei grassland is too big, and it is not the grazing season. Most places are uninhabited, and it is difficult to find the whereabouts of those Sui troops. But no matter which choice you choose, protecting your tribe is the most important.
Think about how powerful the Qilifa tribe was at the beginning, but in the end it was reduced to the point where it was not even as good as a small tribe. All of this was thanks to the Sui army.
Du Mi saw that the leaders were silent, nodded secretly, and said: "If the leaders and Tatarin want to fight, let them fight! If they win, our problem will be solved. If they lose,
We can also save our tribe. Therefore, I would like to ask everyone to temporarily avoid my tribe. Who is not willing?"
The leaders looked at me and I looked at you, and they all nodded.
…
But speaking of the association rate, Tatarin led 30,000 cavalry and rushed towards Dumi's tribe from the right. Only a few large eagles flew across the sky. The men on the grassland regarded being able to shoot down the large eagles as the most glorious thing. But
After experiencing the destruction of two tribes, these people were full of thoughts, but no one raised their bows to shoot. The big eagles circled in a circle and flew north. After walking for more than thirty miles, they saw a few more
A large eagle flew over their heads.
Tatarin suddenly had an ominous premonition and said, "Prince Jiezhao, do these flat-haired beasts smell something?"
The leader of the association has always been brave and foolhardy, and he said without thinking: "Don't worry, as long as we arrive at the Du Mi tribe one day early and set up an ambush in advance, we will definitely defeat the Sui army. By then, the corpses everywhere will be the best of these beasts."
food!"
Before he could finish his words, he heard a "bang" sound in front of him, the sky became dark, and countless iron arrows came towards him. The Turkic cavalry who were rushing at the front fell to the ground one after another. For a while, they were turned on their backs and screamed again and again.
The association rate was shocked and said: "No! There is an ambush, retreat quickly!"
But it was too late when he spoke, and countless iron arrows flew from both sides. These iron arrows were close and powerful. One iron arrow could often pass through the bodies of several cavalry, and in an instant, more than half of the men and horses led by the association were damaged.
There were sounds of killing all around, and four teams of cavalry crashed into the team led by the association like a dragon entering the sea. The sword flashed and blood and flesh flew everywhere. The Turkic cavalry who were caught off guard were cut off their horses one after another. This ambush lasted only half an hour.
It was over. Of the 30,000 Turkic cavalry, more than 23,000 were killed on the spot, and the rest were taken prisoner. The guild leader, Tatarin, and more than 20 tribal leaders, large and small, were also among the prisoners.
One day later, Liu Ziqiu led a large group of cavalry to appear outside the Du Mi tribe's camp. After receiving the news, Du Mi hurriedly gathered his troops. There were now more than 30,000 horses in his camp, and they should be able to fight. At this time, he suddenly saw several horsemen like this.
Du Mi rushed over as fast as he could. Because there were few people on the other side, Du Mi did not order the arrows to be fired, but sent a team of cavalry to rush over. After a while, those few people were brought to Du Mi.
When those people arrived in front of Du Mi, they knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Master Du Mi, the prince who led the alliance was captured by the Sui army."
"What!" Duo Mi secretly thought he was lucky, but pretended to be extremely shocked and said, "What's going on?"
Those few people pointed tremblingly toward the outside of the camp and said, "The Sui army is over there. They asked the villain to take the message and invite you to come and watch the ceremony."
Du Mi frowned and said, "Watching a ceremony, what kind of ceremony are you watching?"
Those people hurriedly said: "You guys don't know what it means. They said it, you will know it when you go. They also said that if you don't go, they will come in by themselves!"
Du Mi was originally wary of the Sui army that broke into the grassland. After listening to these people and hearing that the association rate had become a prisoner, he became even more timid. But he was also afraid of being deceived by the Sui army and being deceived.
After hesitating again and again, he ordered three thousand elite soldiers from this tribe to leave the camp.
Outside the camp, several teams of Sui army cavalry were galloping back and forth. Thousands of prisoners knelt on the snow in front of them. The one kneeling at the front was none other than Jieshe Shui. Although Jieshe Shui was kneeling on the ground, he looked stubborn.
.He is the son of a Turkic Khan. How could he admit defeat? How could he be willing to kneel in front of the enemy? Du Mi took a closer look and found that the snow in front of Jieshesu was stained red with blood, and Jieshesu's knees were bloody and bloody.
, I'm afraid it has been interrupted by the Sui people.
Seeing soldiers and horses coming out of the camp, the Sui army cavalry suddenly rushed towards the prisoners kneeling on the snow. A flash of sword light flashed and heads rolled. One of the Sui army cavalry raised his saber and cut off the head of Jisheli.
He deliberately waved his head. The head of Heshu led a perfect arc and landed in front of Du Mi. It bounced twice on the ground and rolled to no one's idea where it went.
Du Mi couldn't help but tremble on his horse, and then he understood what ceremony the Sui army had asked him to come to watch. However, what surprised Du Mi was that the Han people did not execute all the thousands of prisoners, but only the kneeling ones.
There are more than a thousand people at the front.
At this time, another cavalryman rushed over and shouted loudly: "Where is Du Mi? Why don't you hurry up and come forward to pay homage to Mr. Liu!"
Du Mi rode his horse over almost involuntarily, knelt down in front of Liu Ziqiu with a plop, bowed his head and said, "Please forgive me for my clan members."
Liu Ziqiu sneered: "Are you Du Mi, Du Jishi's brother?"
Du Mi hurriedly said: "Sir, I have decided to part ways with Du Jishi and respect Mullin as Khan from now on!"
Liu Ziqiu's expression softened a little, and he waved his hand and said: "In this case, Liu will give you a task. When the task is completed, Liu can also make you a Turkic Khan! The Mobei grassland is too big
, how can one khan be enough? In the future, four khans must divide and conquer!"
