    In this battle, the Sui army did not kill many people, but the last remaining soldiers of King Tianzhu's tribe collapsed completely. King Tianzhu died, and his tribe was completely destroyed.  Fortunately, the young Xi Jian lived up to his fate and successfully killed Tianzhu King Cheli Ni.

    When Xi Jing was chasing the remnants of King Tianzhu, Huang Mingyuan also sent troops to Qiang City again, preparing to uproot Tuyuhun's last stronghold along the Huangshui River.

    The guard general of Linqiang City, Gao Gai, is also a smart man. As a close confidant of Tianzhu King Cheli Ni, Bao Gai can be responsible for guarding Linqiang City, so he deserves Cheli Ni's important task.  At the beginning, he was also conscientious in guarding the city for his master.  Of course, in his opinion, Linqiang City was located in the rear and there was not much danger, at least until King Tianzhu Chelini returned to Linqiang City.

    However, the Sui army came very quickly. After the Sui army besieged the city, they realized that something was wrong.  You should worry about Cheli Ni being defeated.  However, no news came from the front line, so he did not dare to act rashly and had no choice but to continue to inquire about the news and hold on to Linqiang City, which was his biggest bargaining chip.

    By the time the main force of the Sui army returned to Linqiang City and displayed the heads of countless Tuyuhun people to intimidate him, he knew that his master, King Tianzhu, was dead.

    At this time, Ba should not have any thoughts of revenge for his lord, nor the loyalty to die for his lord, but immediately chose to open the door and surrender.

    This is a matter of choosing between head and integrity. If it were in the Central Plains, those Han generals would be confused no matter what.  But the Hu people are different, because the Hu people respect the strong and do not pay attention to integrity.

    The Sui army saved a lot of energy by attacking the city without fighting.  Moreover, as the largest city in Haidong, Linqiang City is full of food and supplies.  This was the accumulation of King Tianzhu's painstaking efforts for twenty years in order to dominate Tuyuhun, and now he completely benefited the Sui army.

    After Huang Mingyuan occupied Linqiang City, he did not repair it. Except for a small number of troops left behind to defend it, the main force continued to move north.  Huang Mingyuan spent too much time on Tulou Mountain along the way. Although he completely blocked the entrance of the Tuyuhun people's southern route, it was not exactly as expected. It was like a sharp knife that penetrated into the abdomen of Tuyuhun.

    Therefore, Huang Mingyuan led the army with General Jing Yuanheng as the vanguard and ordered him to cross the Changning Valley and go north along the Changning River.  He also ordered Zhang Shou to go upstream along the Huang River, capture the Salt Lake of the West Sea (Gahai), and cut off the flank of Tuyuhun.

    Huang Mingyuan also ordered all armies to speed up their gathering at the intended destination to prevent the main force of Tuyuhun from escaping.

    At this time, the progress of the other Sui armies was relatively smooth.

    Yang Yichen's troops went north along the Haodan River and headed straight to Pipa Gorge.  As an important area east of Tuyuhun, Pipa Gorge controls the north and the south, connecting the east and west. It is the main route from Qinghai to Hexi.  Murong Fuyun ordered General Murong Xiaojun to lead thousands of soldiers and horses to guard this place.

    Murong Xiaojun was Murong Fuyun¡¯s favorite and had always been trusted by Murong Fuyun.  However, most of them specialized in civil affairs and were not good at military affairs, so they deployed their troops along the canyon in an attempt to completely block the Sui army from outside the canyon.

    Yang Yichen led his troops to arrive, and found that Murong Xiaojun had spread his relatively thin troops too much, setting up defenses everywhere and leaving them undefended, so he immediately ordered the entire army to attack the Tuyuhun troops.

    Murong Xiaojun had insufficient troops. Although he relied on the dangerous terrain to defend, his defense line was broken by the Sui army several times.

    The two sides were in a stalemate for a day, but Murong Xiaojun finally couldn't resist the enemy and took the lead in leading his troops to escape.  When the rest of the troops saw the general fleeing, they immediately dispersed and fled in all directions.  Yang Yichen's troops took the opportunity to occupy Pipa Gorge, opened the gate to the east of Tuyuhun, and blocked Murong Fuyun's eastward road.

    At the same time, the main forces of the Sui army in the north, Liang Mo's Zhang Ye Army, Duan Wenzhen's Wuwei Army, and Zhang Dinghe's Qing Navy, were also making rapid progress.

    Duan Wenzhen led his troops out of Wuwei and occupied Xueshan (today's Longling on the border of Gansu and Qinghai); Liang Mo led his troops to attack from Zhangye, all the way south, defeated several Tuyuhun tribes, and occupied Niling (today's Datong Mountain in Qinghai).  Coupled with Huang Mingyuan's troops who came from Linqiang City, the Fourth Army just surrounded the main force of Tuyuhun in a narrow area north of the West Sea, making it impossible for them to move and dodge.  Although Murong Fuyun's main force tried to avoid the battle, as long as the Sui army marched step by step and narrowed the encirclement layer by layer, Murong Fuyun, who was in the encirclement, could not escape.

    At the same time, in early September, Yang Guang came from Luoyang.

    Yang Guang visited Heyou this time and moved surprisingly quickly.  In July, the Western Inspection Team arrived at the old residence of the Yang family in Fufeng County. They stayed for two days and met with members of the Yang family. Then they headed west, out of Linjin Pass, crossed the Yellow River, and arrived at Xiping County.

    On September 4th, Yang Guang was so excited that he held a large-scale hunting round in Bayan Mountain. The long round was as long as twenty miles, and the Yanchi and Pipa Gorge not far away were still there.?Battlefield.

    Knowing that Yang Guang arrived so quickly, Huang Mingyuan had to leave his military affairs behind and go south from Changning Valley to meet Yang Guang.  Since ancient times, there has never been a more personal expedition than this. The general has to worry about the emperor. Even if he has great strength, he cannot use six or seven points, so how can he win.

    Huang Mingyuan asked Yang Guang if he could stop advancing and wait for the army to annihilate the main force of Tuyuhun before marching.  However, Yang Guang seemed to be very interested in visiting the place of Tuyuhun. He smiled and said to Huang Mingyuan: "How dare you come to Tuyuhun when you are here?"

    Yang Guang asked about the military situation in detail, but Huang Mingyuan explained it in detail.  However, this time Yang Guang put forward many of his own opinions, some of which Huang Mingyuan did not agree with.

    Yang Guang did not want Huang Mingyuan to completely follow his wishes, so he smiled and said: "Ming Yuan is more familiar with military conditions on the front line. What I say is only for reference."

    Yang Guang wanted to intervene in the frontline command, which made Huang Mingyuan feel very uncomfortable.

    In the previous battles, the situation was quite special. Whether it was defeating Bujia Khan in the championship Hou Shan or putting down Yang Liang's rebellion, in fact Yang Guang was in a crisis, the situation was unfavorable and he did not dare to intervene.  But Yang Guang himself has a strong desire to control, so if there is a chance, he is unwilling to let go of this opportunity to become a general.

    On September 9, Yang Guang¡¯s team entered Changning Valley and crossed Xingling (now the north of Datong Hui and Tu Autonomous County in Qinghai); the next day, they arrived at Haodan River.

    Yang Guang¡¯s team had a large number of people and not enough boats to cross the river, so Yang Guang ordered a bridge to be built across the Haodan River.  However, the water flow here is very fast, so Huang Gen, the messenger of capital water, did not build the bridge.  Yang Guangmao was furious and ordered the execution of the capital water envoy Huang Gen and nine supervisors.  Huang Gen is Yang Guang's confidant and the elder brother of Huang Mingyuan's subordinate Huang Gen. He is an ingenious thinker and multi-tasker. In Huang Mingyuan's eyes, he is a rare and special talent.  Huang Mingyuan interceded for him, and Yang Guang exempted Huang Gen from the death penalty and ordered him to be dismissed from his post.

    A few days later, the bridge was completed and the Western Patrol team was able to move forward.

    Huang Mingyuan sent Yang Guang across the Haodan River before asking for orders to return to the garrison.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
