Turbulent Times Chapter 1353: 400,000 Turkic Cavalry

Just when Yang Guang refused to listen to persuasion and stubbornly led the 100,000 imperial troops and the huge inspection team to continue marching towards Yulin County, a prairie falcon circled a few times over the inspection team and headed north. Fly away, climb over the Great Wall all the way, continue to fly northward for more than 300 miles, circle twice and then dive down.

This is the north bank of Fuqibo on the northernmost border of the Sui Dynasty. There is an endless Turkic camp here, stretching for hundreds of miles.

The Turkic Shibi Khan has led an army of 400,000 to the south secretly, and has come to a place more than three miles away from the border of the Great Sui Dynasty. But at such a short distance, Yang Guang did not receive any news.

The falcon flew over the big camps, and finally, guided by the eagle flute, flew to a huge tent covering an area of ​​several acres. This was the king's tent of the Turks. The man, with a golden helmet and a golden armor, has cold eyes like an eagle. He is the young Turkic Shibi Khan.

Sibi Khan stretched out his arms, and the falcon let out a cry, and withdrew its wings and landed on his arm.

The sheepskin was full of information, he read it again, his eyes were filled with a smug smile, the Great Sui Emperor Yang Guang actually came to the border, and now he is heading for the trap he prepared.

That's right, the five counties in Yulin County have been controlled by him. The horse bandits who recently occupied the three counties were naturally dressed up by the Turkic cavalry he sent, and the two counties occupied by Liu Wuzhou would naturally listen to him.

"Pass my order, the army immediately set off to the south, and the fattest sheep in the world came in front of Ben Khan. If Ben Khan didn't capture it, he would be sorry for the gift of the Longevity Heaven!"

I have to say that Yang Guang's brain circuit is really contradictory and peculiar. Since he spent a lot of money to build the Great Wall in the north, it shows that he is still very vigilant against the Turks and has taken precautions. The five counties were likely to be controlled by the Turkic people, and beyond Yulin County, the Turkic territory was to the north, but he was so arrogant that he didn't have much defense, and clamored to take back the other five counties, and even wiped out Liu Wuzhou.

However, Yang Guang also has his own reasons. Now in the Sui Dynasty, Princess Yicheng and a royal princess married Turks in the north, but this obviously cannot relieve Shibi Khan's coveting of the Sui Dynasty, and Shibi Khan will never give up just because of the two women

In order to launch an attack on Tai Sui.

In addition, when Yang Su colluded with the Turks to rebel against them last year, the Turks also sent 100,000 cavalry to the south. Later, because Yang Su was quickly defeated by Wang Junlin, Yang Guang brought the cavalry to Goguryeo to Mayi County day and night, The 100,000 cavalry blocked them, and the Turks retreated.

At that time, Yang Guang was not without follow-up. Before he returned to Luoyang, he sent Pei Ju to the Turks on the way to visit Chi Jishe, the younger brother of Shibi Khan. The Turkic forces, under the command of Chi Ji, can mobilize tens of thousands of cavalry.

Yang Guang followed the strategy of his father, Yang Jian, to divide the Eastern and Western Turks. In order to divide the increasingly powerful Eastern Turks, he promised to betroth the clan princess to Chi Jishe, and promised to make him the Khan of the South.

With the example of Eastern and Western Turks, the Turks were actually very vigilant against this despicable method of division in the Sui Dynasty, so Chi Ji pretended to accept the princess and canonization, and at the same time told the matter to his elder brother Shibi Khan, The two brothers discussed in secret, pretended to be against each other on the surface, and fought several false battles in order to make Yang Guang lose his vigilance.

This matter made Yang Guang proud for a long time, and this is why he was not very vigilant against the Turks at this time, thinking that the Turkic army was powerless to go south.

As for any major military operations in the Sui Dynasty, the secrecy was really bad. The common people are easily informed.

When it was time to fight Goguryeo, Yang Guang and the court made a decision, and Yuan Taizuo of Goguryeo received the news immediately.

It was the same this time. Yang Guang said that he would go on a northern tour, and the Turkic people's meticulous work in Luoyang City spread the news to the Turkic Shibi Khan as quickly as possible. The spies tracked him down and passed them on at any time with flying eagles to Shibi Khan, who had led 400,000 cavalry southward and was lurking three hundred miles from the northern border of the Great Sui Dynasty.

In the eyes of the Turks, the Great Sui Dynasty was the most affluent place in the world. If the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty could be captured, it would be the most cost-effective deal whether it was a ransom or an exchange for ten counties in the north.

What's more, Shibi Khan knows that rebels are everywhere in Da Sui now, so he led his troops south and occupied Da Sui in one fell swoop

It is not impossible that half of the country in the Sui Dynasty. At least Turkic could leap to become the lord of the East and let the Sui Dynasty surrender at his feet.

The Turkic people came prepared, and they have been preparing for battle. The 400,000 troops quickly packed up their tents, prepared their troops, and rushed towards Yulin County like a pack of wolves in the grassland. At this time, Yang Guang was still rushing to Yulin On the way to the county town.

Although Yang Guang is less than two hundred miles away from Yulin County, his troops are bloated and his speed cannot be increased. When he arrives in the county, the 400,000 Turkic cavalry will surely be able to cross three hundred miles to Yulin County.

…

…

In a jungle about 20 miles west of Fuqibo, a group of five spies from the Far East Army under Wang Junlin's command and affiliated to Shen Guoer's Military Intelligence Office hid in it, and one of them was watching with a telescope.

There are five groups of spies like them, who have been following and staring at the Turkic main force these days. In fact, they followed all the way from the Turkic lair thousands of miles away in the north, and they have suffered a lot these days.

The 400,000 Turkic cavalry had already stayed here for a day and a night. Naturally, the spies from the Military Intelligence Office couldn't keep staring at it. Jumping up from the ground, the team leader shouted to a spy on the top of the tree: "What's going on?"

There was a spy on duty in the tree. He looked into the distance with binoculars for a while, then turned around and shouted: "The main force of the Turkic cavalry has moved, heading south to Yulin County. The **** is boundless!"

The team leader immediately shouted: "The range is too large, we may be affected, retreat to the depths of the forest!"

The five spies quickly rushed to the depths of the forest. In a moment, if the Turkic cavalry like a dark cloud covered the sky and covered the sky, the 400,000 cavalry swept across a wide area, roaring, and swept away to the southwest. The team was tens of miles long.

This group of spies from the Far East Army’s military intelligence office is hiding deep in the forest. They can still feel the tremors of the earth. The team leader climbed on a big tree and visited the Turkic army several miles away. He can basically judge The number of opponents and the direction of marching, the south is the Great Wall that they cannot cross. If they go to Mayi County, they must either go east and cross the east end, or go west. The place where they can bypass the Great Wall in the west is Yulin County. .
