Chapter 153
"The leader of the thief was captured in the first battle. This is all due to the consort's plan!"

Far away, Luohou from Mohe Khan of East Turkistan laughed loudly at Cui Che.

Cui Che didn't push back, and after exchanging greetings with Chu Luohou and Ahui Lusu, he turned his attention to the embarrassed and imprisoned Western Turkic Apo Khan Daluobian.

Chu Luohou said angrily:

"It's better to kill it."

Cui Che shook his head and refused:

"No, send it to Daxing and let the saint deal with it."

That's what Chu Luohou said. Of course he knew that Daluobian's life and death were not up to him to decide. Before he captured Daluobian, he planned to execute him, but the eldest Sun Sheng, who was with the army, obstructed him, so he didn't stop.

Cui Che greeted Changsun Sheng again, and heard Chu Luohou's suggestion:

"Now that the main force of the Western Turks is destroyed, it is better to drive straight in, attack their royal court, and divide their women, children, and livestock!"

Ah Hui Lusu's eyes lit up and his heart was moved, and Cui Che had planned to do so a long time ago, so he turned his eyes to Changsun Sheng and asked his opinion.

Chang Sun Sheng said with a smile:
"The sage has entrusted the full power of the war to the son-in-law, and the son-in-law does not need to ask the subordinate officials for their opinions."

Changsun Sheng is a smart man, he doesn't want to talk too much about it.

If they objected, once the Eastern Turks and Kumoxi joined forces to conquer the west and reaped a huge harvest, the Sui army could only stare blankly because they did not attack, and they would definitely not be able to please Yang Jian.

If he agrees, once Xizheng suffers heavy losses, he will also be dragged down.

This time, Changsun Sheng was able to share in the credit for defeating the [-]th Western Turkic army by the riverside. He was already satisfied, and only wished to escort Daluo back to Beijing as soon as possible.

Seeing that his elder Sun Sheng did not object, Cui Che immediately responded to the Western Expedition.

The three were not in a hurry to go west, but divided up the captives on the spot. The 15 Western Turkic army actually died in battle, but more than [-] people died.

After cleaning the battlefield before, a total of more than [-] Western Turkic corpses were obtained, and more than [-] people were captured.

Cui Che suggested that the [-] captives should be sent to Daxing first, and presented to the imperial court, and then Yang Jian would give [-]/[-] of them to East Turkic and Kumoxi.

It didn't matter to Chu Luohou, he believed that there were more than 2 prisoners, and less than [-] were distributed. He believed that Yang Jian would not betray his faith because of these prisoners.

And Cui Che did this just to let Yang Jian earn enough face, and he didn't want to take the Western Turkic captives alone.

Ahui and Lusu were quite reluctant, but seeing Chu Luohou agreeing to this matter, it was not easy to object, and Cui Che promised him:
"If the chief can trust Cui, the saints will not only give him captives in the future."

Ah Hui Lusu smiled when he heard this.

While everyone was talking, Youzhou Governor Shi Li Gang and Si Lu Fang Yanqian had already led tens of thousands of infantry to the bank of Ruoluo River to meet them.

Cui Che and Li Gang handed over more than [-] Turkic captives, and ordered him to bring more than [-] Turkic corpses back to Youzhou and build them into a Beijing temple.

And Ahui Lusu also selected cavalry from the five divisions, and got more than 10 soldiers, together with nearly [-] Eastern Turkic cavalry and [-] supplementary Sui cavalry, a total of [-] people, drove the captured livestock, Going forward in a mighty way to the capital of the Western Turkic royal court.

Although the Turkic prisoners had to wait for Yang Jian to gain the limelight before they could be distributed, the horses captured in this battle had already been divided among Cui Che, Chu Luohou, and Ahui Lusu.

They rushed to Dujin Mountain for a long distance, and what they needed most was a transfer of horses.

East Turks are very familiar with Dujin Mountain, it was where their royal court used to be, with them leading the way, Cui Che's [-] troops lost their way in Mobei and couldn't find the water source.

Carrying the captured livestock to the west is of course to be used to satisfy hunger on the way.

Although those Western Turkic soldiers who fled escaped the hunt, they lacked food, and how many of them could return to the royal court alive.

Li Gang, Fang Yanqian and others watched the [-] coalition army composed of Youzhou, East Turkic, and Kumoxi go away, and then looked at the corpses everywhere and the panicked Turkic soldiers.

Li Gang said with emotion:
"The battle of the weak and falling into the water, the son-in-law's name will go down in history, if he can win the western expedition, the world will definitely rank him with Wei Huo!"

However, Fang Yanqian was full of worries. Seeing that Chang Sun Sheng was comforting the captured Apo Khan, he sighed softly to Li Gang:
"Muxiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, I am afraid that the son-in-law will follow in the footsteps of Duke Wuyang (Li Chong) and be suspected by others."

When Li Gang heard this, his expression froze, but he smiled again and said:

"The son-in-law's family has a good wife, so why be afraid of outsiders provoking in front of the imperial court?"

Fang Yanqian suddenly realized, it seemed that he remembered Cui Che and Yang Lihua as a good wife, but only he knew whether he had really forgotten Yang Lihua's existence.

Tens of thousands of six-state infantry drove the Turkic captives to the south to transport the corpses. When they arrived at the Sui border, the border guards even misunderstood that it was the Turkic intruders. After all, [-] Turkic captives were scary enough.

"What! Director Cui defeated the 15 Turkic army in the weak fall into the water! More than [-] people were captured and beheaded!"

Knowing that the messenger came to report, the border guards would be stunned.

Since Abo Khan Daluobian and a group of trusted ministers were captured, the true strength of the Western Turks in this battle has long been known.

"That's right! Weak fell into the water and won! The leader of the bandits, Apo Khan Daluo, was also captured alive, and he was about to send Daxing away!"

The messenger who called the door said excitedly.

The guard asked again:
"How many casualties did our army have?"

He calculated in his heart that to achieve such a result, the [-] fine cavalry who left the fortress would have suffered heavy casualties.

The messenger smiled even wider:
"Director Cui's ingenious design made the Turkic people unable to take care of both the head and the tail, and the army was defeated. Our casualties were no more than a thousand."

The Sui army and the East Turks, under the great advantage of the enemy's self-disruption on the west bank, only killed more than [-] West Turks, and how much loss they could suffer.

The border guard couldn't believe it when he heard the words, he murmured:

"Director Cui is really a god."

After confirming that the front line was indeed victorious, it was not the Turks who invaded, but the team that escorted the prisoners, the guard immediately ordered someone to open the door, and the soldiers in the city rushed to the tower to watch the more than [-] Turkic prisoners being escorted into the customs in disgrace. grand scene.

"Why don't you see the cavalry under Chief Cui's command?"

On the city wall, a guard said doubtfully.

A well-informed person explained to him:
"Director Cui defeated the main force of the Turks and is leading the cavalry expedition to Dujin Mountain."

As soon as this remark came out, all the guards on the city wall sighed.

A young garrison soldier slapped the city wall with a sad face and said:

"I only hate that my family is poor and have no horses, otherwise I can follow Director Cui to break through the Turkic royal court, and I will have no regrets in this life!"

The familiar soldiers laughed at him:

"Zhang Zhen, it's a pity that you can't break through the Turkic royal court. I think you are jealous of those Turkic women!"

When everyone heard the words, they all laughed.

Zhang Zhen, the soldier in the garrison, was embarrassed and shouted:

"Aren't you greedy! After the Battle of Yuyang, the [-] cavalrymen who followed Chief Cui to the fort not only got Turkic women as slaves, but also got a lot of livestock!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was silent, and the person who laughed at Zhang Zhen just now gritted his teeth and said:

"I must get a horse!"

There are not a few people who have the same idea as him, and they all hope to follow Cui Che and gallop beyond the Great Wall.

 Fortunately, it’s not too late. There will be four changes tomorrow, but there will only be three chapters the day after tomorrow, because the Northern Wei Dynasty will be written, and the special will be changed every three days. Four chapters.

  Goodnight everybody.
