Chapter 736 Northern Turks
Xiao Maha has always regarded himself as a military master. He can raise his head and be respected no matter where he goes. Chen Guoxiang is a war god-level figure and is definitely the most outstanding representative.
However, the older you get, the more you have the idea of maintaining success. At the same time, you are more concerned about your descendants and hope that this glory will continue to be passed on unlimitedly.
He was definitely not as tough as he was when he was young, but now Chen Guo is in peace and has often had wars, but he has also gained a foothold for decades. On the contrary, Zhou Guo in the north has basically been almost done after Yuwen Yun's fierce struggle in the past two or three years. If Yang Jian had not emerged from the world and stabilized the overall situation, it would have been better than today's situation.
But now the opportunity has come again. The prince, who has always been cowardly and anti-war, actually wanted to lead his troops to the war. Since Chen Shubao told this, he knew that this was his best opportunity. Assisting the prince to recover the city and return with great victory, there is no problem with his son and grandson's hereditary status, and the new emperor has also done it.
But he also knew that Chen Shuling would definitely be able to fight. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't like Chen Shuling. Although he was both a military general, Chen Shuling was too cruel, too domineering and inhumane. He might as well like to write erotic poems and play with women. But at least he was gentle and elegant, not as heavy as murderous aura and not tyrannical!
At least the prince will not be bloody when he ascends the throne!
Things were settled, and the army was assembled and sent troops to Huainan 7 days later. Although it was two or three days later than Yuchi Jiong's rebellion, it was definitely not too late. Moreover, under the banner of the prince of the regent, it was said that 200,000 troops were coming in a vast and unkind manner!
...
The Chen State was ready to prepare for large-scale conquests, and the Turks naturally would not fall behind. In fact, the Turks have been absolutely strong in the comparison of the strength of the Central Plains regime for a hundred years. If a small country in the separatist state wants to exist for a long time, they have to rely on the Turks, pay tribute and relatives, at least maintain neutrality and do not invade each other.
That's why Zhang Lihua analyzed that Yang Jian's main energy was concentrated on Yuchi Jiong and the Turks, because the Turks were vast and larger than Zhou and Chen combined, and there were many soldiers and generals, brave and good at fighting.
The origin of the Turks is in the upper reaches of the Yenisei River. A tribe with wolves as the totem. According to the "Book of Zhou. The Biography of Turks", it is said that after the ancestors of the Turks merged with wolves, they gave birth to ten men. When the ten men grew up, they each married and had children, each with one surname. Ashina was one of them. Later they moved to the Beishan Mountain in Gaochang.
In the middle of the fifth century AD, the Turks became slaves of Rouran and were forced to move to the southern foot of the Jinshan Mountains. They were called "Slaves". From the fifth century later, the enslaved tribes of Rouran continued to flee and resist, and the Chile tribes were the most intense. The Turks gradually got rid of their enslaved status.
In 546 AD, the Turkic leader Ashina Tumen led his troops, defeated and merged more than 50,000 Tiel tribes, and began to grow and grow. On the one hand, they cut off relations with Rouran, and on the other hand, they proposed to the Western Wei. In 551 AD, the Western Wei married Princess Changle to the Tumen leader.
In 552 AD, Tumen sent troops to defeat Rouran. Tumen then established the Turkic regime, the Turkic Khanate, with the northern part of the desert as the center. Shortly after that, Tumen's brother Dianmi led a large army of 100,000 people, captured all parts of the Western Regions, established himself as Khan, and built a Khan's house in Yingsau River. Later, the Xia capital was established on the west bank of the Chu River in Central Asia. A half-time power was formed in the western part of the Turks.
In 553 AD, the Tumen died, and the Tumen brother Mugan Khan ascended the throne. The Turks destroyed Rouran, and went east to Khitan and Xi, and joined the north to Qigu, and became increasingly powerful. The Turkic regime has a vast territory, from the Liao River in the east to the Caspian Sea in the west, reaching the Amu River in the south, and reaching Lake Baikal in the north. The Khan Court was set up in Dujin Mountain.
Therefore, during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Turks reached unprecedented strength and strength!
Originally, Yuchi Jiong's best plan was to convince Yu Yi to join the Turks, so that with the Turkic army as a backing, he would at least be invincible, but Yu Yi finally chose Yang Jian, and he had to use the second plan to find Gao Baoning.
Although Gao Baoning nominally supported an emperor, he had actually become a Turkish dog and worked completely for the Turks. At this moment, there was a arrogant Turkic envoy in Gao Baoning's tent.
Gao Baoning specially selected four beauties to serve on both sides, including singing songs, drinking with them, and raising their hands to feed vegetables. The Turkic envoy was so arrogant and arrogant. Although Gao Baoning sat in the main seat, he kept looking at his head to please.
"I am here this time, which brought good news? When will the Turkic army head south to flatten Chang'an City?"
Gao Baoning has been waiting for this day for a long time, and he is also full of revenge.
The envoy ignored him and kissed the beauty on his left and touched the girl on his right, laughing, "Hahaha, why bother? The Turkic army traveled thousands of miles a day like an eagle in the sky as soon as it came. You just need to prepare food, grass, cattle, sheep, and many beauties. You don't have to go to the battlefield, and leave the war to our Turkic eagles!"
"But you are blessed this time. This time the Khan sent troops to use the most elite wolf division. He had gathered 150,000 cavalry around the tent, including 100,000 cavalry, haha. This time, Yuchi Jiongnan and Chen Guo were stabbed in the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty. When he was too busy to take care of himself, the Turkic wolf division suddenly descended from the sky and stepped on the Jiankang City, Chang'an City. The world is owned by me, Turks, hahaha. Come, drink, drink!"
Gao Baoning quickly got up and raised his glass to drink.
"It's really a great move. The world is over the great Turks. When the wolf master comes out, no one can resist it. Hahaha. Yuchi Jiong is still dreaming about his spring and autumn and wants to replace him as the emperor. In fact, he doesn't know that he is just a chess piece from Khan's southward journey. He still thinks how powerful he is. Hahaha, this old fox is immortal!"
The special envoy was also happy to hear this, "The world is full of Turks, and they are all Khans. You can drink beautiful wine at will, hahaha."
Gao Baoning was very generous with the envoy to do three big bowls in a row, but he used the bowl and cups. However, he also had a very concerned question, "I wonder which marshal was leading the troops this time?"
"I can't tell you this yet, haha, it's nothing to say. Now the leaders of the generals and tribes have been fighting in the Khan tent, and none of them want to lead troops to fight, just like a prairie wolf running into the sheep pen and slaughtering the white little sheep, hahahahaha."
But Gao Baoning knew in his heart that the generals leading the troops must have come from the Ashina clan, Qibirheli, a branch of Zhishu, especially the Ashina clan is the royal family and the most famous military family. They are all brave and good at fighting and killing without blinking!
