    After crossing the Hunyi River, the Sui army advanced more and more cautiously. There were no less than a thousand sentries sent out to investigate.  The larger the army, the more afraid it is of sudden cavalry raids, and the less Bujia Khan makes any big moves, the more it means that a huge storm is about to hit.

    Sure enough, on the night when the Sui army crossed the Hunyi River, Zheng Yanqing's forward troops encountered Turks attacking the camp.

    At that time, Zheng Yanqing's forward troops were stationed in a valley ninety miles northeast of the Hunyi River.  That night, the Turkic general Ashina Simo led 5,000 cavalry to join forces with the general Bayer. The two troops, totaling 10,000 cavalry, came out of Lujin Mountain together.  Ashina Simo selected thousands of elite cavalry, changed into Sui army uniforms, divided them into two teams, front and rear, and attacked the Sui army camp at night, while leading his troops to follow behind.

    When he was more than ten miles away from the enemy, Ashina Simo ordered the front team to shout loudly, and the rear team responded with drums.

    The Sui army thought that the main Turkic force had arrived, and there was a moment of confusion.  Many people advised Zheng Yanqing to withdraw his troops quickly. Zheng Yanqing led his men to kill several panicked soldiers, and the army calmed down.

    Zheng Yanqing ordered Huang Mingliao to lead his troops to form an array outside the military camp. The Sui army's response was beyond the Turks' expectations, and they took advantage of the darkness to counterattack the Turks' soldiers.  There was a melee between the two sides. At this time, the Sui army's rear troops arrived and joined the battlefield.  Seeing the strength of the Sui army, Ashina Simo was worried that he would be surrounded by the main cavalry of the Sui army, so he led his troops to retreat.

    Zheng Yanqing did not let anyone chase him, he just stood firm in the camp.

    Huang Mingyuan was shocked when he heard that Ashina Simo was attacking the Sui army at night. Ashina Simo was a rare and capable general of the Eastern Turks.  Historically, after Bujia Khan fled south, he was supported as the new Khan by various Turkic tribes.

    Huang Mingyuan ordered all ministries to strengthen defense to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of him.

    At this time, the Turks were not prepared to go to war with the Sui army in Hunyi, Hebei, so although there were harassments, it was just a small fight. The Sui army went all the way north, still heading straight towards the core area of ????the Turks.

    Although the area from the Hunyi River to the Turkic Yazhang is not large, it is the most dangerous line of defense in the entire Yazhang.  Because this place is located in the southern end of Yudujin Mountain, there are many hills and the terrain is relatively rugged.  Both Lujin Mountain and Muzhuling are dangerous passes, places that are easy to defend but difficult to attack.

    Jiao Fangjie¡¯s Eagle Attack Army reported that there were about 10,000 Turkic troops guarding the Lujin Mountain area, and the main force of the Turks was concentrated in the Muzhuling area.

    Huang Mingyuan immediately opened the map and looked at the location of Muzhuling. It seemed that this place was the main battlefield that Bujia Khan had set for himself.

    From the topography point of view, although Lujin Mountain is more steep, it is not open enough.  The Turks are good at field combat but not good at defense. Although there are dangerous areas such as Lujin Mountain, the Turkic cavalry will easily fall into an unfavorable situation when facing the Sui army who are good at offense and defense.  Although the terrain of Muzhuling is not as dangerous as Lujin Mountain, it is flatter, which is convenient for large cavalry troops to attack.

    ??And Lujin Mountain and Muzhuling are a plain, and the Egen River flows through it.  If the Sui army wanted to attack Muzhuling, they had to cross the Egen River first.  The Sui army faced mountains and rivers, which was a taboo for military strategists. However, the distance of dozens of miles from the Egen River to Muzhuling was flat, making it easy for cavalry to charge. At that time, the Turks would be able to command a commanding position and be as powerful as breaking bamboo.  Once the two sides fight, the Sui army is defeated and is likely to be driven into the rushing Egen River, and Bujia Khan can take the opportunity to annihilate the Sui army here.

    Whether it is Chen Yuan, Chang Sun Sheng or Zhang Zhenzhou, who is actually the chief of Huang Mingyuan's operations section, they all agree that Synjia Khan arranged the main battlefield in Muzhuling.

    ?According to common sense, the Sui army will mainly attack and the Turks will mainly defend. On the entire vast grassland, how to fight, where to fight, and how to fight depends more on the Sui army.

    However, to the west of the Turkic Yazhang is the Yudujin Mountain, which is too high to jump over; to the east is the Egen River that bends from west to east and then to the north. It is summer at this time and the water is deep and difficult to cross, so the only attack point left for Huang Mingyuan is  The narrow front remains.  This is the important reason why the Xiongnu capital Longcheng, the Uighur capital Uighur Yazhang and the Mongolian capital Helin were all located here.  In addition to abundant water resources, abundant pastures, and dense forests, its terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Convenient defense is also the key.

    Being beneficial to the Hulu means that the Sui army has to pay a greater price to defeat the enemy.  Huang Mingyuan was not willing to be led by the other party like this.

    "What if our army bypasses Lujin Mountain and goes east, and crosses the Egen River on the eastern front to fight Bujia Khan for a decisive battle?"

    There is no need to think about the Western Front. If more than 100,000 troops bypass Yudujin Mountain and then send their troops eastward to decisively fight the Turks, Bujia Khan's cavalry can destroy the Sui army's supply line, not to mention the delay.

    If we can't attack from the front, we can only advance from the east front.

    Changsun Sheng said with a solemn face: "Marshal, I'm afraid it won't be possible to the east. Although the Egen River can only be used by large ships in July and August, it is the right time at this time.In summer, the river is open and the water is more than ten feet deep. As long as Bujia Khan deploys a few troops on the west bank of the river, it will be difficult for large groups of our army to cross the river.  "

    Huang Mingyuan did not directly reply to Chang Sun Sheng. Instead, he looked at the large area surrounded by the Egen River and the Duluo River and asked Chen Yuan: "Chang Zhong, have Dong Chun's troops arrived near the Duluo River?"

    Chen Yuan said hurriedly: "General Dong came here to report that he had already fought with the Turkic Eastern Front Corps, but there is no news yet."

    "Is there any news about the Tiele people?"

    "The main force of the Tiele people was not found, but sporadic sentries of the Tiele people appeared near the Duluo River."

    Huang Mingyuan frowned and said: "So, our army cannot fight decisively on the Eastern Front for the time being. This is the core area of ??the Turks. In order to guard against the Turkic Eastern Front Corps stationed in Tiele tribes, if our army enters here in large numbers  , will be surrounded by the main force of Bujia Khan, the Turkic Eastern Front Corps and the Tiele people. No one can guarantee whether the Tiele people will suddenly attack our army. At this level of the war, both our army and the Turks  We have tried our best, and any external action at this time may cause qualitative changes."

    Everyone was speechless.

    Although the enemies of Sui Dynasty and Tiele are Turks, it does not mean that both sides are allies.  If it were possible to destroy the Sui army of more than 100,000 men in Mobei and make the Sui people unable to intervene in the situation in Mobei in the short term, the Tiele people would definitely be willing to shake hands with Bujia Khan and make peace.

    ¡°After all, this is not the Mobei of the Sui people.

    Generally speaking, the most reliable offensive route for the Sui army is to advance from Lujin Mountain and Muzhuling to Yazhang step by step.  The area south of the Hunyi River was controlled by the Sui army, and all kinds of forces were basically wiped out by the Sui army.  Although this road is the most dangerous, at least the Sui army's frontal attack can barely guarantee the safety of the rear road.

    In Huang Mingyuan's prediction, the most likely thing for the Tiele people is to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and wait for themselves to eliminate Bujia Khan before taking action.

    Huang Mingyuan said to Chen Yuan again: "We must contact Dong Chun as soon as possible. I sent him to attack with a partial force not just for fun. If he can't contain the Turkic Eastern Front Corps and block the Tiele people's footsteps, he will be protected."  If he lives on the flank of the army, then tell him to get back here."
