Chapter 155 Death of Khan

Far away in Shouchun, Huainan Daoxingtai Shangshuling, King Yang Guang of Jin learned about the grand scene where the Turkic Khan and 50,000 captives surrendered in great numbers, and he was filled with envy in his heart.

Although Yang Guang did not dare to speak openly to others, he had already made up his mind to follow the example of his father in the future and let the leaders of the Turks, Tuyuhun, Goguryeo and other ethnic groups go to Daxing to bow down to him and ask for surrender.

When the time comes, wouldn’t it be wonderful to be the great sage khan yourself and let your father Yang Jian be the sage little khan?

At the same time, Cui Che is going through the most difficult moment since he recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan.

Cui Che also experienced hard times in Northern Xinjiang when he was a child. At that time, he was hungry and cold, and he also experienced the winter in Northern Xinjiang. He was mentally prepared for the cold winter in Mobei, but when things came to pass, he realized that he still underestimated

the harshness of the climate.

The wind howled, and heavy snow fell all over the sky, making it difficult to open one's eyes.

Cui Che held on to the reins and arduously followed the footprints left by the former soldiers in the snow.

Although Cui Che had already prepared a large amount of cold-proof materials in preparation for the battle against the weak falling into the water, and was preparing to rush to Dujin Mountain after the war, so no soldiers froze to death, but everyone was exhausted after the long journey.

However, when approaching Dujin Mountain, the Eastern Turks Mohe Khan Chuluohou, who was the former army, brought bad news:

The Western Turks had already learned that the front line was defeated, and the tribesmen who stayed behind supported the son of Yang Suteqin as Nili Khan.

This also means that the Western Turks have already been prepared.

Nili Khan carried out comprehensive mobilization in the country. In addition to the 50,000 soldiers who stayed behind, he also recruited nearly 100,000 herdsmen from various places to prepare for the attack.

In the coalition camp, Ah Hui Lusu was running around anxiously:

"Could it be that I traveled a long distance, through wind and snow, and finally came to Dujin Mountain just to see the royal court!"

Ku Moxi had already discussed withdrawing his troops, so Ahui Lusu hurried over and asked Cui Che and Chu Luohou to come up with an idea.

Cui Che and Chu Luohou were warming themselves by the fire, silent.

It stands to reason that since the Western Turks are prepared, they should return to the original route.

Our troops are already weak. The enemy is waiting for work and it is a home battle. However, we have come a long way and our troops are exhausted, so we are at an absolute disadvantage.

Under normal circumstances, Cui Che and Chu Luohou would have discussed withdrawing their troops.

However, for the expedition to Dujin Mountain, a large number of livestock captured earlier froze to death. After paying such a heavy price, they finally arrived at the royal court of the Western Turks. How could they be willing to retreat just like that?

"Whether it's to fight or to retreat, you two should talk to each other so that I can have an explanation with my subordinates!"

Ah Hui Lusu urged.

Chu Luohou glanced at Cui Che and finally expressed his stance:

"All the elite troops in his army were lost to weakness and fell into the water. Although there are many soldiers left behind, they are unable to fight. I don't want to retreat. What does Zicheng mean?"

The relationship between the three of them is now very close. Both Chu Luohou and Ahui Lusu no longer call Cui Che the consort or the manager Cui, but refer to each other by nicknames.

Cui Che broke off a dead branch in his hand and threw it into the fire. His face turned reddish from the fire.

"We have gone through a lot of hardships to reach Mount Dojin. If we don't fire a single shot and return without success, Cui will have no face to face the soldiers of the three armies!"

Cui Che said in a deep voice.

Ah Hui Lusu was worried that Cui Che and Chu Luohou were neither advancing nor retreating, and were just wasting their time here. Now seeing that both of them expressed their intention to fight, he hurriedly said:

"In this case, we need to make plans early."

After saying that, he and Chu Luohou both looked at Cui Che.

There is no doubt that Cui Che has won the trust of the two by planning a weak fight.

Especially Ah Hui Lusu, who felt that his brain was not as useful as Cui Che's, so he simply didn't use it.

Cui Che said:

"Now the enemy is strong and we are weak. We cannot defeat them with strength. We can only outwit them."

Chu Luohou nodded when he heard this, and Ah Hui Lusu said eagerly:

"How to outsmart him?"

Cui Che pondered for a moment and said to the two of them:

"Lure the enemy with one force pretending to be defeated, and hide two in ambush on the left and right. If the enemy pursues, the formation will inevitably be scattered. When the enemy pursues them, all the ambushes on both sides will rise, luring the enemy to turn around and attack. If they are attacked from three sides, the enemy will collapse!"

"

"good!"

"That's it!"

Ah Hui Lusu agreed upon hearing this, but who will take on the task of luring the enemy is another question.

Cui Che went out of his tent and found a small branch, cut it into three pieces, held it in his hands and asked Chuluohou and Ahui Lusu to extract it. Whoever had the shortest branch would be responsible for luring the enemy.

Chu Luohou and Ahui Lusu took out one after another. Cui Che spread out the one he kept in his hand and compared the length with the two.

"In this case, the important task of luring the enemy will be left to Mohe Khan."

Ah Hui Lusu said with a smile.

Chu Luohou did not complain. The three of them drew lots fairly and memorized them themselves. There was nothing to complain about. Moreover, according to Cui Che's plan, luring the enemy this time did not seem to be a dangerous task.

In the seventh year of Kaihuang's reign (AD 587), on the third day of the twelfth lunar month, the wind and snow stopped.

According to the plan, Chu Luohou, Mohe Khan of the Eastern Turks, led his 40,000 troops to approach the royal court. Nili Khan of the Western Turks learned the news and left some soldiers to guard the royal court. The lord's nearly 100,000 troops formed a formation to meet the enemy.

Cui Che led his army to ambush in a valley. The place where Ahui Lusu ambush was closer to the battlefield than Cui Che.

Looking at the hustle and bustle of the battlefield in the distance, Cui Che was also worried. He didn't know whether the Western Turks would be fooled, and he didn't know whether the Eastern Turks' acting skills were up to par.

Soon, his doubts were answered. A large number of East Turkic soldiers retreated towards the ambush. Seeing their panic, Cui Che couldn't help but sigh. These East Turks acted like real people, and the Western Turks also took it seriously.

Coming in pursuit.

Ah Hui Lusu in the front was already ready for battle, waiting for the Western Turks to step into the ambush circle, but Cui Che noticed that the Eastern Turks did not seem to be acting.

To lure the enemy deeper, they should retreat without chaos, but the Eastern Turks were already in chaos, scrambling to be the first to flee backwards. This was not a feigned defeat at all, this was clearly a major defeat!

Among the defeated East Turkic soldiers, one of them came to fight Cui Che's place. It was Ye Huyong Yulu.

"Zicheng! Mohe Khan is dead! He was killed by a stray arrow while engaging the enemy!"

Yong Yulu said in panic.

Cui Che's mind went blank when he heard this.

No, this Luohou was just pretending to be defeated to lure the enemy, how could he die like this!

But now instead of complaining about Chu Luohou's disapproval, Cui Che quickly sent someone to shoot three loud arrows in succession, which was the signal to withdraw his troops.

Now that the Eastern Turks have collapsed and the Western Turks have shot their opponent's Khan, their morale has been high, and the morale of his own soldiers has also been disturbed by this incident. Cui Che did not want to leave all 30,000 of his cavalry at the foot of Dujin Mountain, so he quickly led his troops to retreat.

.

Ahui Lusu received Cui Che's signal, but because they were closer to the battlefield, it was too late to escape. They were overtaken by the Western Turks, the Kumoxi people were killed and defeated, and Ahui Lusu himself was captured alive.

The Sui army had teammates to help block the enemy and successfully escaped from the battlefield.

After the war, Cui Che gathered together the Eastern Turks and Kumoxi troops and defeated them, gaining more than 30,000 Eastern Turkic and Kumoxi cavalrymen.

When the army was demoralized and everyone was only thinking about going home, Cui Che summoned the 60,000 allied troops of the three tribes under his command.
