After packing everything, Huang Mingyuan and Chen Yuan rode out of Datong City with one thousand two hundred people. The army did not deliberately hide their whereabouts. In fact, even if they wanted to hide their whereabouts, some thoughtful people in the city would expose their departure for various reasons.
The target of the army's attack this time is not the main force of the Turks, but the large and small tribes scattered on the Monan grassland. Both manpower and confidentiality are sufficient.
The entire team was divided into three sections by Huang Mingyuan, with Zhang Wenyuan as the vanguard. They crossed the Datong River in advance and marched toward the northeast along the direction of the Datong River.
The rear army is under the command of Gao Junya. This army is based on the remaining cavalry from Tiande and Huyan towns. It has insufficient combat strength and many new recruits. It is responsible for the logistics support and material transportation of the entire army.
The Chinese Army is under the command of Li Shentong. This force was built with the backbone of the slave cavalry and recruited cavalry established by Huang Mingyuan before the Datong War. It is not well organized and has slightly weak combat power, but it wins because of its high loyalty. Huang Mingyuan left Li Shentong in the Chinese Army to assist the military aircraft with Li Xinzhi. The actual commanders of this unit were Deputy Governor Tang Zengzuo who had accompanied Huang Mingzhen across the desert, and Huang Mingyuan's cousin Commander Huang Mingzheng. The joint commander Li Shentong has no way to intervene in the affairs of the entire army.
After the army left the Yin Mountains, they were faced with the Monan region, the most fertile area in the entire desert. This vast expanse of prairie, with an altitude of more than a thousand meters and gently undulating terrain, is marked by the shadows of desert camels on the plateau, which contrast with the green grass of the prairie, with lush green grass, long white clouds, and a clear blue sky. The galloping horses and herds of cattle and sheep, if you exclude the killings and struggles, would be so peaceful and peaceful.
But in the entire grassland for thousands of years, there has been no place to escape, only charging and fighting; there has been no peace and happiness, only killing each other.
After Huang Mingyuan's troops left the Yin Mountains, under the guidance of the scouts, they headed straight for several tribes north of the Yin Mountains and south of the Nuozhen River.
To the north of Yinshan Mountain, the land was not suitable for farming and was considered to be useless land for the Central Plains dynasties. Therefore, the Sui army could not leave Yinshan for a long time. The Hu people herded cattle and horses in the north, and they were not on guard against enemies in the south.
Relying on the speed of his horse, Zhang Wenyuan attacked continuously after leaving Yinshan Mountain.
These tribes were sparse in number, with only a few hundred or more than a thousand people. They were unprepared for the Sui army's sudden attack. They were quickly defeated by Zhang Wenyuan's cavalry and cleaned up.
Gao Junya from the rear army was quite dissatisfied with this. He felt as if he had become Zhang Wenyuan's transportation captain. After several battles, Zhang Wenyuan could only transport the captured cattle, sheep, horses, women and young slaves back to Datong.
Zhang Wenyuan cleared the road to the north, and was happy that Huang Mingyuan sorted out the map of the grassland afterwards.
In later generations, this area was a desert with no human habitation, so Huang Mingyuan was not very familiar with it. But now the north side of Yinshan Mountain is rich in vegetation, and there are still large areas of grassland. Relying on the connection of ancient sheep basins, this area has become a nomadic herd of grassland tribes.
Huang Mingyuan looked at the battle report sent by Zhang Wenyuan and said to Chen Yuan: "Zhong Chang (Chen Yuan's courtesy name), I finally understand why armies throughout the ages always like to rob. We only destroyed a few small tribes and have already made a lot of money." The pots were full, but there were almost no casualties. This is the reason why the grassland people took advantage of the weakness of the Han people to continuously clear the grass and valleys."
Although Chen Yuan is one year younger than Huang Mingyuan, he chose a nickname for himself because he got married early.
"My lord, there is no need to be sentimental. As long as my lord is here, the Turks and horses will not dare to cross Yinshan Mountain."
Huang Mingyuan rode on the horse. Although he knew it was a compliment, he still felt very comfortable.
"Zhongchang, you take over the task of contacting Jiao Fangjie's scout army. Although our army has defeated several small tribes before, after all, these tribes have little influence and cannot see the water in Monan clearly. Next, we have to deal with several larger ones. The tribe took action."
Chen Yuan rode on his horse, saluted Huang Mingyuan, and said: "My lord, I just checked the news brought back by General Jiao. A tribe has just conquered our Yuanyang Town in Yunzhou and moved to the Nuozhen River Branch area. The crowd is no less than 5,000 strong, and our army is ready to take action."
Huang Mingyuan was stunned and asked: "Yunzhou? What's going on?"
With that said, he quickly dismounted and took out the map, pointing to Yuanyang Town on the map. It was not very far from Dali City
"What did Shuozhou's army do? Let the barbarians cross the Jinhe River and enter the hinterland. Let's talk about Yuanyang
There are more than a thousand troops stationed in the town, and it will be attacked by an unknown tribe. "As he said that, he dropped the charcoal pen in his hand on the ground.
"My lord, the intelligence says that Yuanyang Town will see barbarians invade the city.", abandoned the city and fled. There was no one in the city to resist, so the city was captured. When the barbarians entered the country, Yunzhou Huqi Mansion did not rescue them. "
"Asshole!"
Seeing that Huang Mingyuan was a little angry, Chen Yuan hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, after the King of Han took control of the armies in Bingzhou, the Shuozhou army was undergoing rectification. Most of the army generals were also replaced, and their combat power dropped greatly."
Huang Mingyuan pursed his lips and said no more.

Soon, Jiao Fangjie figured out the strength of this tribe.
The other party is a Tiele people who moved south due to the Turks moving north, named Pugu tribe, a branch of the Pugu tribe of the Tiele clan. The Pugu tribe was originally nomadic near Jinwei Mountain (the upper reaches of the Enen River in today's Mongolian People's Republic). After the patriarch Puguhudu was defeated and died in Datong, the Pugu tribe also split. A branch of the Pugu tribe broke away from the main tribe under the leadership of the patriarch Zhen Ge and established a new Pugu tribe.
After that, the Pugu tribe went all the way south, crossed the desert, and came to Monan.
Brother Pu Guzhen is also a famous general in the Servant Department, and he was powerful in the desert before. As soon as they approached the Sui Kingdom, they became bold and approached Yunyang Town disguised as a fleeing prairie tribe, and sent internal personnel to infiltrate. The general of Yunyang Town is a loser himself. When he saw the barbarians invade the city, he did not resist and took advantage of the Pugu tribe.
"My lord, since the Pugu tribe fled with one attack and fled to the area south of Nuozhen River, in order to completely annihilate the enemy, should we mobilize a large army to encircle the enemy?"
Huang Mingyuan shook his head and said: "No, let Zhang Wenyuan attack the Pugu tribe directly. There is no need to hide, but please launch the attack as soon as possible."
Chen Yuan was startled and said: "My lord, the Pugu tribe is estimated to have about five thousand people. The people who control the strings must have more than a thousand cavalry."
"There are only more than a thousand cavalry, Yunyang Town is really useless." Perhaps it was what happened in Yunyang Town that made Huang Mingyuan very angry. He didn't understand that he could not even block an army of more than 100,000 Turks, so how could Yunyang Town not even have one? Even the Fish Belly Tribe can't defeat it.
Seeing Chen Yuan's doubts, Huang Mingyuan said: "Don't worry, Zhong Chang. This Pugu tribe will definitely not think that I, the Sui Dynasty, will leave the country to retaliate. This means that he is not prepared for us. The opponent has just won a complete victory, no matter what, he will Repair it a bit. Our army is calculated mentally and unintentionally, relying on the combat power of the cavalry army to defeat a small Pugu tribe. It is already a small talent. As long as the rear army can keep up, encircling the Pugu tribe is nothing. question."
Chen Yuan thought about it, and it was indeed not stressful to use a cavalry army, so he nodded in agreement. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
