    Returning with Qiao Zhongkui and Qimin's troops, there was also Dong Chun's troops who lost their troops. As Huang Mingyuan expected, the Tiele people actually attacked Dong Chun's troops, and Dong Chun suffered a big loss.

    Dong Chun¡¯s status was very high. His official rank was the General of Zuowei, which was only one step away from the rank of General of the Twelve Guards.  Moreover, Dong Chun was deeply trusted by Yang Jian. When Dong Chun followed Yang Jian and his wife to Renshou Palace, Yang Jian once held Yang Zhao and Yang Jian on his knees and said to Dong Chun: "If you like these two sons, don't forget my words."

    In the army, Dong Chun was the most feared by Huang Mingyuan.  Dong Chun, Dugu Lan, who has a special status, and Qiao Zhongkui, who has a rift with Huang Mingyuan. If the three of them collude, it will be enough to shake Huang Mingyuan's authority. Therefore, it was somewhat helpless for Dalandui to divide the troops at that time.

    On that day, Dong Chun's main force of 30,000 troops went northward, clearing away the nomadic tribes along the way, and reached the coast of Duluo River without any obstruction.

    Here Dong Chun met the Turkic Eastern Front Corps led by the Turkic general Dutai.  After the relics went south, Bujia Khan appointed Dutai as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front Corps.

    The two sides fought several fierce battles here, each with its own victory or defeat.

    Dong Chun closed his camp and did not fight the Turks again. Dutai did not want to fight the Sui army for a long time and was eager to defeat Dong Chun and retreat westward. Therefore, he repeatedly challenged the Sui army and failed to win.  Seeing that Bujia Khan's call became more and more urgent, Dutai knew that it would be difficult to defeat the Sui army in a short period of time, so he simply chose to retreat.

    After the Dutai troops broke camp, Dong Chun saw the opportunity and immediately selected elite cavalry to follow him.  Dutai was unprepared and was attacked by Dong Chun.  The two sides traveled nearly a hundred miles to the west. Dong Chunnai caught up with Dutai and fought fiercely. He defeated his troops and beheaded 4,000 people.

    Dutai suffered a disastrous defeat and fled in a hurry. Fortunately, a group of Turkic cavalry came to rescue them and they escaped across the Changgen River.

    Dong Chun pursued closely, and by the time the Turks were defeated and cut off, most of the Turks' main force had already fled.  After Dutai crossed the Changgen River, Dong Chun's mission of annihilating the Turkic Eastern Front Corps had actually failed.  All the generals wanted to cross the river to pursue the Turks. Dong Chun was worried about an ambush by the Turks on the west bank of the river and did not dare to cross the river rashly. He had to choose to stay on the east bank of the Egen River and wait for Huang Mingyuan's arrival before making arrangements.

    A few days later, Dong Chun received Huang Mingyuan's order to retreat. He did not dare to delay and prepared to lead his troops south immediately to join the main force.

    The army marched south for only a few dozen miles when they encountered a surprise attack by a Turkic army.  However, the opponent's combat power was weak, and they suffered a lot of losses in a battle with the Sui army.  The two sides fought hard, and these Turks fled to the southeast.

    Dong Chun was originally worried that he would be punished because he left the Turkic Eastern Front Corps. Seeing that the fighter planes came out again, how could he not be happy, so he immediately sent people to pursue this group of Turks.

    At this time, Han Shi'er, a subordinate of Han Qinhu who joined Dong Chun's army, advised: "When the two countries are at war, it is time to show off their strengths. Now these Turks retreat when encountering a battle. They have no fighting spirit and are suspicious of neglect. If they are really serious  In this case, why would the Turks bother to make a surprise attack on our army? This must be a strategy to lure the enemy deeper, deliberately showing their shortcomings on the battlefield, and ambushing surprise troops to win.

    "Besides, Marshal Huang ordered me to move closer to the Chinese army immediately. There must be something inside. The general must not hate Marshal Huang because of his pursuit of merit."  "

    ??????? Han Shi¡¯e was born into a distinguished family, suave and quick, and had the longevity of Han Monk.

    However, Dong Chun still refused and said angrily: "You are also a son of a general. You don't want to contribute to the country. You inherit the legacy of your father. Now you dare to talk nonsense and hinder the advancement of my army. You are really a rebellious person. Besides, the Chinese army  The road is far away, how can we know the local military situation better than us? It will not be too late to return to the Chinese army after I have completely wiped out this group of barbarians."

    Han Shi'e tried to persuade him again, but Dong Chun directly asked people to drive Han Shi'e out of the Chinese army's tent.

    Dong Chunnai led his troops in hot pursuit. Sure enough, the Turkic army fought and fled, leading Dong Chun's troops into his own ambush circle.

    This was Qu Gureng's plan to make people pretend to be Turks to lure Dong Chun.  Turks and Tieles live in the same grassland and have mixed with each other for decades. They fly different flags, and ordinary people can't tell the identity of each other.

    Sure enough, as Han Shier said, as soon as Dong Chun led his troops into the encirclement, Qu Gureng, the chief of the Bayegu tribe, led the coalition forces of Tiele tribes to immediately surround Dong Chun's troops.

    Dong Chun¡¯s troops had no food and no reinforcements from outside, so they could not rescue each other.

    Fortunately, Dong Chun was alert. After discovering that Tiele tribes were surrounding them, he saw that he could not escape. He immediately used carts and horses to set up defenses on the spot, and dug trenches to stop the Tiele people.  Dong Chun's troops had 10,000 people on horseback and 10,000 on foot. According to Huang Mingyuan's principles for leaving the fortress, they carried countless carts.

    Dong Chun also ordered Awu Sili to lead the cavalry of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to try to organize a breakout. After several fierce battles, they failed to break out.

    And Qu Guling led the main force to attack across the board in an attempt to disperse the Sui army, but it was not feasible.

     The two sides fought for several days and remained at a stalemate. Dong Chun's troops suffered heavy losses.  The Tiele coalition forces besieged Dong Chun for several days, but were still unable to break through his camp.

    Fortunately, at this time, Qiao Zhongkui and Qimin Khan led their troops to cross the river and march eastward to aid Dong Chun.  The Bayagu tribe knew that the Sui army was victorious in the decisive battle of the Sui Dynasty. Seeing a large number of Sui armies approaching from the east, they did not know the details of Huang Mingyuan, so they had no choice but to withdraw their troops and plan for the future. Dong Chun and others were able to relieve the siege.

    Dong Chun led the remaining troops back to the center of the Sui army in embarrassment.

    "Dong Chun was a coward, and he failed to complete the task of blocking the enemy. Later, he failed to obey orders and lead his troops to move in time, which almost caused a catastrophe. Dong Chun is incompetent, and I hope the marshal will punish him!"

    Huang Mingyuan did not punish Dong Chun severely because of Dong Chun's failure to complete the task of blocking the Turkic Eastern Front Corps.  After all, his troops had already limited the combat power of the Turks, and as Dong Chun was, they could not completely defeat him.  As for myself now, I don't need to deal with generals to establish authority.

    However, Huang Mingyuan did not spare him lightly when he disobeyed his order to withdraw, causing the army to be surrounded and annihilated by the Tiele people and resulting in heavy losses.

    It was a stroke of luck that Dong Chun's entire army was not wiped out. Therefore, Huang Mingyuan reprimanded Dong Chun's 20 army sticks and removed him from his post.

    Dong Chun was originally quite conceited because he had the highest official position among the people. Although he never opposed Huang Mingyuan's orders every time, he always looked distant.

    After this defeat, Dong Chun thought that he and Huang Mingyuan had a bad relationship and would be hit by him, fearing that his life would be at risk.  Unexpectedly, Huang Mingyuan was broad-minded and did not care about the previous suspicion. Although he was punished with a stick, he did not deprive him of his military power, but allowed him to perform meritorious service for his crime. It was obvious that he was treated lightly and spared himself once.  Therefore, Dong Chun felt ashamed and his face was full of embarrassment.

    Huang Mingyuan helped Dong Chun who was kneeling on the ground and said: "General Dehou (Dong Chun's nickname), Mencius said: 'Know your shame and then be brave.' I did not consider the matter of dividing the troops carefully, and the fault lies with me. General.  Although they were defeated, they handled it properly. They withstood the Tiele people's surprise attack and did not let the Tiele people take any advantage, which is also meritorious. In the future, general, you should remember this lesson and don't make the same mistake again."

    "Thank you, Marshal!"

    Dong Chun was extremely grateful and felt even more ashamed knowing that Huang Mingyuan was being open-minded.

    Huang Mingyuan persuaded Dong Chun to go down and rest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
