    If the Fuluo tribe's betrayal of the alliance caused the Duluoshui Alliance to split, then the Tiele Alliance headed by the Tongluo tribe brazenly attacked the Mengchen tribe, while the Duluoshui tribes sat back and watched the Mengchen tribe's defeat, which made the Duluoshui Alliance  Officially disbanded.  When this alliance cannot play its role, it has lost the meaning of its existence.

    It wasn¡¯t until the Mengchen tribe went south that a group of panicked leaders of the various tribes suddenly discovered that since the alliance could not protect the Mengchen tribe, it could not protect them either, so the ministries hurriedly began to look for the backstage.

    The Dulange tribe and the Atui tribe, both belonging to the Tiele people, moved closer to the Tiele Alliance, while the Zhishi tribe and the Sunong tribe, both belonging to the Turks, moved closer to the Turks. As for their old employer, the Sui Dynasty, they had long forgotten all about it.  .

    Among them, only the Hun tribe had offended the Tongluo tribe and had bad relations with the Turks, making both sides unreliable.

    At the end of the eighth year of Daye, the leader of the Hun tribe, Qing Poliu, died amid internal and external troubles, and his son Qing A Tanzhi succeeded him as the chief.  Faced with the aggressive Tongluo tribe and the invading Turks, Hun'a Tanzhi decided to lead the tribe south to defect to the Sui Dynasty, against all opinions.

    In February of the ninth year of Daye, less than a year after the Mongolian and Chen tribes went south, and the entire grassland had not completely thawed, Hung'a Tanzhi led 5,500 tribes, totaling 19,000 people, and went south to join the Sui Dynasty.

    After hearing the inquiry, Khan Shibi ordered his men to attack the Hunbu at Junji Mountain (the area south of the upper source of Tula River and Orkhon River in present-day Mongolia).

    The soldiers of the Hun tribe shared the same hatred of the enemy and took the lead bravely. Hun A Tanzhi led his troops to defeat the Turkic cavalry here, and then calmly went south.

    In May of the ninth year of Daye, Hun Atanzhi led 4,300 tents and more than 14,000 people to the Sui Dynasty.

    The Mengchen tribe and the Hun tribe fled south one after another and defected to the Sui Dynasty. This was a reflection of the failure of the Sui grassland strategy and the weakening of their influence.  However, under the bragging of Yu Shiji and others, this became an example for the prairie Hulu to admire the emperor and wait for the wind to come.

    Yang Guang was so pleased with Long Yan that he granted Chen He the title of Doctor Guanglu, General Youyiwei, and Marquis Gonglu, and placed him in Jiuyuan County.  He was granted the titles of Guanglu Doctor, Zuo Yiwei General, and Gaolan Marquis, and was placed in Wuwei County.

    Regarding this situation, everyone in the Sui Dynasty felt that the situation was great. Little did they know that after the Sui Dynasty's nails on the grassland were removed one by one by Turks and Tiele, the opponent's next target would be the Sui Dynasty.

    Without the Duluoshui tribes to contain the Turks, the pressure on the Anbei Protectorate, which is a prominent part of the grassland, immediately increased.

    Anbeicheng is located to the north of Yinshan Mountain, hundreds of miles beyond Jiuyuan County and inserted deep into the grassland.  When the Sui Dynasty was originally strong, Anbei City controlled the south and north, controlled the grassland, and tightly guarded the gate for the Hu people to go south.  But now that the Sui Dynasty was weak and the Turks were moving southward with increasing momentum, Anbei City became the first place to bear the brunt.

    The Anbei Protectorate originally had only more than 10,000 people guarding the isolated city. However, after more than ten years of management, Changsun Sheng and Hu Lusheng successively built more than ten small cities around Anbei City and built Yixinshan (now the northern part of Siziwang Banner, Inner Mongolia).  border with Mongolia) defense line, there are more than 14,000 households, more than 46,000 people, and an army of nearly 11,000 people.

    If the city is built along the Nuozhen River according to the design of Huang Mingyuan and Changsun Sheng, it will take less than ten or twenty years, and all the south of Qikou will be Han land.  But now the situation has suddenly changed. Anbei City is isolated and has lost its role in restricting the Turks. Instead, it has become a burden to the Sui Dynasty.

    In April of the eighth year of Daye, Hu Lusheng saw that the situation was not right. The northern Turks repeatedly invaded the border, and the two sides were at war with each other.  In order to ensure the safety of the people in Anbeicheng, Hu Lusheng ordered more than 30,000 people in Anbeicheng except the army to be sent back to Jiuyuan.  Most of these people were the family members of the officers and soldiers of the Anbei Protectorate and businessmen from the north to Anbei City.

    ??When everyone goes south this time, they can only say goodbye to their husbands, sons, and fathers with tears.

    In March of the ninth year of Daye, when the Hun tribe moved south, the Sui Dynasty and the Turks once again fought in the north of Yixin Mountain. This was the biggest battle in the eight years of Daye.

    In order to contain the Sui army and facilitate the encirclement and suppression of the Hun tribe, Shibi Khan personally supervised 30,000 cavalry going south and stationed them in the north of Yixin Mountain.

    Hu Lusheng was not weak either. He personally led 5,000 elite troops and stationed them on Mount Yixin. The two sides faced each other up and down the mountain.

    The Turks repeatedly challenged, and Hu Lusheng ordered all armies to hold on and deplete the opponent's morale.

    The two sides have been in a stalemate for more than a month, neither side giving in.  Hu Lusheng then ordered General Yan Xiaowu to lead a thousand cavalry, put on Turks' clothes, divide into two teams, and attack the Turks' camp at night.

    When he was five miles away from the enemy, Yan Xiaowu ordered the front team to shout loudly, and the rear team responded with drums.  The Turkic army thought that the main force of the Sui army had arrived, and was shocked.  Shibi Khan, who was already timid towards the Sui army, was now full of fear and ordered his troops to retreat.

    The Turks fled north in a hurry?In panic, they killed each other and suffered heavy casualties.

    ?? And Hu Lusheng himself led thousands of cavalry to pursue the Turks from the flanks, defeated their troops, and beheaded 4,000 more cavalry.

    In the battle of Yixinshan, the Turks were defeated. Khan was given a slap on the head, and his arrogant momentum was also thwarted.  The Turks felt the strength of the Sui army internally, and they no longer dared to blindly seek provocations without permission and rashly headed south.

    Hu Lusheng defeated the Turks and shocked Yang Guang.  Yang Guang was also dissatisfied with Shibi Khan's repeated violations. He thought that this victory could make Shibi Khan wake up.

    After the war, Hu Lusheng was promoted to the third rank of Jin Ziguanglu, and Yan Xiaowu and Sun Cixu were also promoted to the fourth rank of court officials.

    Although the battle at Yixinshan greatly boosted the morale of the Sui army and dampened the momentum of the Turks, the strength of the two sides was greatly different, and the overall situation of Anbei City being threatened by the Turks could not be changed.

    In July of the ninth year of Daye, the Turks made a comeback.  Although the Sui army resisted tenaciously and defeated the Turkic invasion again, they also suffered a lot of losses.

    Whether it is the Fengzhou Governor's Mansion in the south or the Anbei Protector's Mansion, due to the decrease in wars in recent years, the support they received from the imperial court has been greatly reduced.  As for dealing with the newly rising Shibi Khan, it would be impossible to win with just one state or one county without relying on the strength of the central government.

    Although Huang Mingyuan was far away in Liaodong and beyond his reach, he was also worried about the situation in the Anbei Protectorate.  Even if the Anbei Protectorate wins 10,000 battles, it will not be able to destroy the Eastern Turks, but if they lose one battle, it will be a disaster. This is not how battles are fought.

    So Huang Mingyuan wrote to Yang Guang, requesting that the officers and soldiers of the Anbei Protectorate be withdrawn to the south of Yinshan Mountain.

    Anbeicheng is a nail. It is also a testimony of the Sui Dynasty's promotion of dominance in the grassland. It is the face of Yang Guang's "Khan of Heaven".  Yang Guang was extremely reluctant to give up here.

    But Yang Guang also knew the Turks' advance.  Anbei City is isolated outside the fortress. Once it is breached by the Turks, the Sui army will lose face even more, so it is better to give up voluntarily.

    In October of the ninth year of Daye, Hu Lusheng led 7,000 officers and soldiers of the Anbei Protectorate to withdraw into Fengzhou.  At this point, Anbei City, which had been run by the Sui Dynasty for ten years, was officially abandoned, and the border between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks returned to the Yinshan line again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
