Standalone Northern and Southern Dynasties

Chapter 419 Tian Khan

Xianyu Ahu's army was defeated.

In fact, Xianyu Ahu's army had been completely defeated at noon, but the situation on the battlefield was too chaotic, so Su Ze did not stop the army, but continued to lead his troops to launch surprise attacks.

The fighting continued until the evening, and even the most elite soldiers under Su Ze had to hold on to avoid falling off their horses.

The entire Fengzhou Beach was littered with corpses; blood had dyed the land red, emitting a creepy glow under the red setting sun.

The crows circled in the sky, but they were afraid of the living people under Su Ze who had fought in the sea of ​​blood, so they just squeaked.

Su Bei's Great Xia Dragon Bird was indeed a precious sword. After killing ten people in a row, the blade did not get bent.

The blades of the other soldiers had long been unusable, and they had to rely on makeshift iron rods to fight to the end. Each iron rod was soaked in blood, and when the blood dried, another layer of blood was applied, emitting a reddish-purple glow.

At this time, Dugu Xin brought the "Grassland Military Observation Group" from the rear to Su Ze.

The Rouran representative, Yujiulu Brahman, came to Su Ze trembling all over. He knelt on the ground, crawled towards Su Ze, and said sincerely:
"Heavenly Khan!"

The Mandate of Heaven was the Rouran's belief, and the Heavenly Khan was the second most important being after the gods in the Rouran's belief system. This battle had a huge impact on Su Ze's Yujiulü Brahmin.

Five thousand can defeat one hundred thousand enemies, and it is an absolute victory!

Even if there are 5,000 people capturing 100,000 animals, they still cannot finish catching them in one day!

Moreover, although Xianyu Ahu's 100,000 men were not elite troops, they were all armed and were the refugee army of the Six Garrisons who had fought for two years.

Even if Yujiulu Brahmin led the troops himself, there was no guarantee that he could defeat the Rouran people head-on with 100,000 of them.

Su Ze did not use any Han Chinese tactics, but charged forward in an upright manner, breaking through, charging, and breaking through again, and the 100,000 men collapsed!

This was such a huge shock to Yujiulu Brahmin that if it wasn't a god descending from heaven, there was no way to explain how Su Ze won.

The second person to climb up was Gaoche King Mi'etu.

Gaoche King Mi'etu originally didn't want to climb because of his status.

But Yujiulu Brahmin knelt too quickly. He hugged Su Ze and said cheesy words with tears streaming down his face. Miaotu had to kneel down as well.

There's no way, Gao Che had been beaten by Su Ze.

During the Battle of Dunhuang, the King of Gaoche could still comfort himself that Su Ze used the Han people's strategy.

But today, witnessing Su Ze defeating Xianyu Ahu's 100,000-strong army on the battlefield, the shock was completely different.

In order to allow these "observation groups" on the grassland to have a better view of the battle, Dugu Xin considerately arranged them in the abandoned Baidao City. Standing in this mountain fortress, they could fully watch the entire battle situation.

so horrible!

Miao suddenly saw Su Ze's iron torrent, like a sharp knife, accurately stabbing into Xianyu Ahu's troops, quickly dismembering Xianyu Ahu's army.

In the end, Su Ze personally led a charge of a thousand armored cavalrymen, which directly pierced the heart of Xianyu Ahu's army and cut off Xianyu Ahu's military flag. Xianyu Ahu himself was trapped in the army and his life or death was unknown.

Miaotu has made a vow to God that he will never stand against Su Ze. He will restrain his tribe when he returns and will never conflict with Su Ze!

The last one to climb up was Ashina Tumen.

It’s not that Ashina Tumen knelt too slowly, it’s just a pity that the two predecessors knelt faster.

The Turks were also the most fearful.

One of the reasons for Su Ze's alliance was that the Turks were disrespectful, and he wanted to take the opportunity to punish them.

With such a great victory, if Su Ze really proposed to punish the Turks at the grassland conference, I am afraid that everyone on the grassland would support it. Then the Turkic tribes would not be able to call themselves Khan, and it would be hard to say whether they could even exist.

Ashina Tumen had made up his mind that if Su Ze really wanted to punish the Turks, he would persuade his father to escape with the tribe.

Go to the Western Regions, or go to the northern vast sea! You must not confront Su Ze head-on!

The three giants of the grassland all knelt, and the other small and medium-sized tribes were even more shameless. They knelt down one after another, and followed the chanting of "Heavenly Khan", "Saint Khan" and other messy titles. Even Dugu Xin and Wei Xiaokuan couldn't stand it anymore.

They built the city in Wuyuan to guard against these prairie wolves, so why did they all become loyal dogs after today's battle?

Use both kindness and power. Power has been used, and the next step is kindness.

Su Ze first looked at the Turks, and Ashina Tumen was trembling all over.

This young man was also a figure recorded in history books in the historical timeline before Su Ze traveled through time. He was the founder of the Turkic Khanate. The Rouran people perished under his attack. He was known in history as "Ili Khan".

However, as the weakest link among the three strongest nations on the grassland, Su Ze is not prepared to suppress the Turks now.

Instead, he wanted to reward the Turks because the Three Kingdoms system was the most stable structure.

Su Ze said:

"The Turks have made great contributions to iron forging. After returning, this county guild will report to His Majesty and confer the title of Yehu on your father. I hope that you Turks can continue to guard the northern border in the future."

Ashina Tumen was overjoyed when he heard Su Ze's words. He kowtowed and said:

"Thank you, Khan! Thank you, Khan!"

"Would you like to come to Yongle City and be my personal guard?"

Ashina Tumen hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:
"I am willing!" If it was before this war, Ashina Tumen would definitely not be willing.

This is clearly a hostage position. He is the heir of Turkic, so how could he be willing to be a personal guard for Su Ze?
But after this battle, Ashina Tumen had new ideas.

As long as Su Ze is alive, the Turks have no hope of dominating the world. People in the Central Plains generally live longer than people in the grasslands, so this generation has no hope.

Ashina Tumen also studied in Luoyang. He knew the story of Emperor Wu of Han, Jin Midi. If the Huns could serve as regents in the Han Dynasty, then the Turks could do the same, right?

Su Ze continued while the topic was still hot:
"Your Majesty is planning to build a Four Barbarians Hall in Chang'an to spread the king's teachings. In the future, each tribe will send its sons to come in spring and return in autumn to enjoy the grace of the king."

This was to implement the Yanchen system on the grassland. With the remaining momentum from the great war, all the leaders present agreed.

After dealing with the grassland affairs, Dugu Xin walked up to Su Ze and asked:

"My Lord, we have completed the inventory. Most of Xianyu Ahu's troops have fled. Do you want to pursue them overnight?"

Su Ze asked Dugu Xin with a thoughtful look in his mind:

"What do you think?"

"I believe that we should not pursue them. Our army has been fighting for a whole day and is hanging on by a thread. It is too dangerous to attack at night."

"anything else?"

Dugu Xin continued:
"Xianyu Ahu's life and death are unknown, and there are no other prominent figures in the Hengzhou army. The enemy army is a mess, and we are not afraid that they will regroup. Although our army is elite, it is small in number and does not have enough food. It is impossible to capture so many troops."

"So I believe that we should rest for one night, and then slowly defeat them tomorrow, and kill them all the way to Pingcheng."

Su Ze asked again:
"How do we reorganize the prisoners?"

Dugu Xin continued along his own path and said:

"Select the best soldiers from the army and train them into a new army, and resettle the rest of the refugee army as civilians."

Su Ze clapped his hands and said with great joy:
"Okay, so how many people can accomplish these things?"

Dugu Xin was honored by Su Ze's affirmation, and he immediately said:

"Only three thousand people are needed."

Su Ze immediately said:

"I will personally lead 2,000 men to take Pingcheng, and you will take 3,000 men to chase the other rebels. Wei Xiaokuan will follow you to resettle the refugees. Can you do it?"

Dugu Xin became even more excited. This was a chance for Su Ze to give him a chance to make a contribution!

He said quickly:
"Dugu Xin hereby signs a military order. If you fail to wipe out the Hengzhou rebels, you will be beheaded!"

"it is good!"

On March 10th, Su Ze, Duke of Gaoping, defeated the Xianyu Ahu tribe at Fengzhou Beach, defeating 100,000 with only 5,000 men, and won a great victory!

On March 11, Su Ze led 2,000 troops to Pingcheng. The officials and civilians in Pingcheng revolted, killed the rebels guarding the city, and opened the city to surrender.

On March 13th, Dugu Xin led 3,000 cavalry to defeat 13 defeated and fleeing rebel forces. The area near Pingcheng was stabilized and the people lined the streets to welcome the government troops.
-
Chen Qianzhi captured Kaocheng, and the last obstacles to entering Luoyang were Xingyang and Hulao Pass.

The smooth progress of the Northern Expedition completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

The biggest surprise, of course, was Yuan Hao, the child emperor of Northern Wei who was enthroned by Xiao Yan.

Yuan Hao actually didn't have much ambition. He just wanted to control the area south of the Yellow River and north of the Yangtze River, that is, Henan. He never thought that he would have a chance to reach Luoyang.

Xiao Yan, who supported Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition, had never thought about it.

When Xiao Yan first ascended the throne, he raised an army of 100,000 but was unable to capture Shouyang. Who would have thought that Chen Qingzhi's 7,000 troops were already so close to Luoyang!

Even as the messenger had just delivered Chen Qingzhi's victory report to Jiankang and Xiao Yan had just finished writing the imperial edict of commendation, the next imperial edict reporting the victory arrived.

The entire Jiankang court was also plunged into ecstasy, and all the ministers came forward to congratulate them. Chen Qingzhi was so brave, which proved that Xiao Yan, the Bodhisattva Emperor, was the reincarnation of the Chakravartin, the king of kings who came to end this chaotic world!

Xiao Yan was also very happy, and he kept increasing the reward for Chen Qingzhi. He also personally went to Tongtai Temple to hold a blessing ceremony for the soldiers.

But Xingyang is not easy to attack.

If there is an important battlefield in this era that determines the rise and fall of the world, it is definitely not Xuzhou, but Xingyang.

There have been more than 50 large-scale wars in Xingyang throughout the dynasties, and it is difficult to say what was right and wrong.

But historians have all noticed that it was this ancient battlefield that determined the rise and fall of generations of dynasties, so there has been a saying since ancient times about vying for the Central Plains.

The Chu-Han contention lasted for more than two years here, and Liu Bang finally defeated Xiang Yu here and established his rule over the world.

During the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao also fought fiercely in Xingyang and almost lost his entire army.

Later, in the battle for the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin fought against Wang Shichong in Xingyang and established the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

Xingyang was not easy to fight, and this might be the most difficult battle Chen Qianzhi had ever fought.
