Speaking of which, Jie Li Khan has just succeeded to the throne, it is the time to prove himself.
He was the third son of Qimin Khan.
According to the rules on the grassland, it is difficult to sit in the position of a khan in terms of age, qualifications and prestige. Before Jie Li Khan, there are his two brothers.
Perhaps it is the blessing of the longevity...
The old Khan was very old, and the life expectancy of the grassland people was shorter than those of the Han people. However, he accidentally fell from a horse and died during a hunt.
Before he died, the old Khan did not leave a will.
It also led to the two elder brothers of Jie Li Khan, who are also the two who are most hopeful of inheriting the position of Khan. They even started a life-and-death struggle for this seat. In the end, they lost both sides. On the contrary, it left the hopeless Shi Na Shi Duo, which is Jie Li, sat on the throne of Khan...
Jie Li Khan was also excited by such surprises that were like pie in the sky.
At exactly this time, both Buddhism and the Li Family sent people to secretly pass the song.
Suddenly, Jie Li Khan felt that if he had a divine help, he enthusiastically revised a book, and agreed with Li Yuan to jointly seize the Great Sui Jiangshan...
And the East Turks have recovered a lot of vitality during these ten years of cultivation.
In this case, Jie Li Khan is naturally unwilling to miss any opportunities!
quickly……
Under the call and encouragement of Jie Li Khan, all the tribes of the steppe sent their own elites, and in the hands of Jie Khan, their cronies, who belonged to them, gathered a total of 500,000 Turkic cavalry, and Five hundred thousand auxiliary troops composed of other forces surrendered to the East Turks.
This one million army drove all the way south, with the cooperation of Li Yuanli Yingwaihe.
Wherever he went, it was almost like a broken bamboo.
In front of these locust-like Turks, facing some market towns, villages and even cities along the way, they all adopted the style of burning, killing and looting, almost without leaving a piece of armour, and mourning everywhere...
Yang Guang, who learned the news, was frightened.
But in Luoyang, he had no other way besides urging Zhang Xutuo and Yang Lin to speed up the march every day, and instructing the defenders at Tongguan to guard against death!
In a blink of an eye, the menacing Turkic cavalry rushed all the way to Tongguan!
…………
Tongguan!
Tongguan is located in Weinan, bordered by the Yellow River in the north and on the mountainside in the south.
"Shui Jing Zhu" contains: "The river flows to the south of Tongji Guanshan in Guan, because it is called Tongguan!".
Tongguan is the east gate of Guanzhong. It is the key point of the three provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan, and the key to the post road from Chang'an to Luoyang. It is the key to entering and leaving the Three Qin Dynasty. Therefore, it has become the necessary route for entering the Central Plains from the east to the Central Plains and exiting the Central and Western Regions in the west since the end of Han Dynasty. The place and the key pass for defense have always been a battleground for military strategists.
Known as "the first insurance in Guinei", "the throat of the four towns", and the "baierzhongguan".
As long as the natural dangers of Tongguan are not lost, even if the Turks bring more cavalry, they will never want to step into the Central Plains!
And such a natural danger was originally arranged by Yang Guang to be heavily guarded. The guard was extremely tight, and there was no slack...
Even if it is Yang Guang's kiss...
In the absence of tiger charms, no one in Tongguan can be mobilized!
Although Luoyang is still thousands of miles away from Tongguan, and it does not happen overnight for the army to raise troops, horses, food and grass, Tongguan is still vigilant as always.
Even in the past ten years, Tongguan has never been baptized by war.
but……
As the Turkic cavalry went south, more and more places were lost. Some people who escaped by chance also came all the way south to Tongguan, and brought news of Turkic people going south, making this fortress seem like a dangerous fortress. It is also a little more solemn...
Finally, the Turkic cavalry also appeared in the sight of the Tongguan garrison.
Fortunately.
Perhaps it was a long journey. These cavalrymen were naturally exhausted. In addition, it was late. Under the order of Jie Li Khan, they set up camp in a place dozens of miles away in Tongguan.
It also gave the defenders in Tongguan a night of preparation time.
In the early morning of the next day, the sun rose slowly, half-hidden under the endless horizon of the east.
And above the Turkic camp not far away, a stream of cooking smoke rose...
This is the wake of the tent!
But at this moment, a horn suddenly sounded in the camp, and the birds flying in the sky were startled.
The law of profuse sweat is severe, and the military law is like iron.
Ten soldiers formed a small team, led by ten captains, ten ten captains led by a centurion, ten centurions led by a centurion, and ten centuries led by a ten thousand captain.
As soon as the order was issued, hundreds of thousands of people followed the order.
This horn is the summoning order, a total of five times.
Less than five times, even if they are the relatives of tens of thousands of families, and even the parents of the Khan, they will all be dealt with by military law...
The first time the horn sounded, Turkic cavalry belonging to nearby camps all picked up their weapons and mounted their horses.
When the horn was blown the second time, the sound of hooves in the four wilds gathered in the camps of thousands of households.
The third time the horn ceased, and the blackened prairie was neatly lined up. Except for the horses breathing and panting, there was no whisper or the sound of weapons.
The fourth time the trumpet was blown, the Khan's army was already in front of the king's account, divided into two rows.
In the king's account, all the generals have arrived.
"Everyone..."
Looking around, Jie Li Khan also opened his mouth and said: "You are the most heroic sons on the grassland, and you are the people of the longevity heaven. My most loyal subordinates...Before us, the Han people are the most important. As long as we conquer Tongguan pass, I can directly lead the children and drive straight down, all the way to the hinterland of the Central Plains..."
Speaking of this, Jie Li Khan also showed a bloodthirsty smile.
"Think about the exquisite gold and silver artifacts, the delicate and smooth skin of the women in the Central Plains, and the large fertile land. These...the cowardly and incompetent Central Plains people are not worthy to enjoy... These should be our beliefs. People of the longevity heaven!"
"Big man!"
"Big man!"
"Big man!"
Hearing Jie Li Khan's words, unabashedly, full of temptation words, many generals also beamed their eyes, their expressions were extremely excited.
It seems to have seen the gold and silver, beauties, and fertile land at hand.
Among them, there was a middle-aged man with a burly figure like a demon, sitting not far from Jie Li, far away from the sight of others, and doing nothing to Jie Li’s previous words. move.
Even Jie Li Khan showed some respect and fear when facing this person.
"Wu Zun" Bi Xuan!
The first brave on the grassland!
