The Tuyuhun people went all the way to the west, and finally met the Sui army at Niuxindui in the northwest of Gahai. In other words, the Sui army was waiting for the arrival of the Tuyuhun people here.
Tuyuhun¡¯s army numbered 20,000 to 30,000, but most of them were a mob with complex sources and uneven combat capabilities. Except for some elites, they were all herdsmen from various tribes collected by Atcha, the king of Xuan. Moreover, since the rebellion, this group of people first besieged Linqiang City for several months, and then attacked Shancheng. They could hardly breathe, let alone repair, and were already exhausted.
So when the Sui army encountered the Tuyuhun people, they were almost like wolves entering a flock of sheep.
The combat effectiveness of the Tuyuhun people is really poor. They are almost the weakest army in the Xihai region in several eras. Historically, Guoyi Captain Xi Junmai led 120 elite cavalrymen and was able to chase the Tuyuhun people. Although the power of the Tang army was increased, it can be seen that Tuyuhun's army was weak.
As for Tuyuhun, when he faced the Tubo people, he was beaten to pieces and was unable to resist at all.
In this battle, Huang Mingliao planned to let the Tongluo cavalry show their strength in front of the Hunbu and Quedu cavalry. The main attacking force was the Yiluohe troops.
The three pillars of Tongluo tribe, Hun tribe and Western Turks are the most stable.
The herald behind Huang Mingliao waved the flag, and Shanlu and Ajisi, who had received the order, immediately led the brutal Yiluohe into the opponent's formation, and then smashed it to pieces.
After that, the Sui army's ten thousand cavalry, like ten thousand horses galloping, rushed towards the Tuyuhun cavalry.
If this world really has the violent aesthetics advocated by later generations, then this should be the pinnacle of the violent aesthetics in the cold weapon era.
At this time, many Tuyuhun people who had experienced the Sui Dynasty's Western Expedition recalled the brutality of the original war, and they became frightened and dispersed in all directions.
The Sui army followed behind to cover up and kill, just like driving cattle and sheep.
King Xuan Acha was unable to restrain his troops in the army. He was forced to flee with a look of despair, and was finally captured by the Sui army.
The Sui army won a great victory in this battle, beheading more than 10,000 people and capturing even more troops.
When Shi Danati sneaked Xuan Wang Acha to Huang Mingliao's Chinese army to report his merits, he was directly ordered to be beheaded by Huang Mingliao. A clown, unworthy of being sent to Xindu.
As for the remaining captured Tuguhun middle and upper-level generals, they were all executed.
Huang Mingliao is planning to clean up the aristocracy of Tuyuhun in one fell swoop this time. Although the methods are drastic, he will be able to frighten this group of barbarians in a short time. Moreover, the Hu people generally rely on leaders, and an excellent ruler can lead the rise of a tribe. Kill all these high-ranking people. These Tuyuhun people just want to cause chaos again, but there is no leader.
After Huang Mingliao defeated Tuyuhun in Niuxindui, he went all the way west, regained Linqiang and other places, and rushed to Shancheng.
At this time, the Tuyuhun army that was confronting Duan Lun in the Changning Valley was also blocked in the valley, unable to advance or retreat, and was completely destroyed by the Sui army.
After destroying the main force of King Xuan Acha, the remaining rebels were basically sporadic fire points. Moreover, the internal organizational structure of the Tuyuhun people was completely destroyed by Huang Mingliao, and there was no possibility of turning over.
After Huang Mingliao entered Shancheng, he ordered Shi Danai and Duan Lun to lead the army to rescue Shibao City and Jishi Town and pursue the Tuyuhun rebels. And he stayed in Shancheng to deal with the aftermath of Xihai.
For the Sui Dynasty, the core interests of the West Sea were in Xiping County. However, Xihai County, Heyuan County and other places can only be shown in the emperor's military achievements in expanding the territory, and ministers generally do not care. The Sui Dynasty also failed to find any monetizable interests from the local area. Therefore, although the Sui Dynasty established counties, they still ordered the Tuyuhun royal family to manage them because the management was too difficult. For example, Murong Rong himself held the position of governor of Xihai County.
But the consequences are too great. When the country is strong, there is no problem. But once the country is in chaos, these borders will inevitably be unstable, and the first to set off rebellions are mostly people who have both interests. This is why Huang Mingliao must clean up the royal families of each vassal country in the Western Regions.
Now for Tuyuhun, Huang Mingliao is also preparing to implement it according to the model of the Western Regions.
In this regard, Duan Wenchao expressed doubts.
The land of the Western Region can also connect the east and west trade, so it naturally needs to be controlled, but the land of the Western Sea, with its high mountains, barren land and desolate land, cannot be farmed or mined. Ordinary people will feel suffocated when they come here. What's the use of controlling it.
And there is also the Tuyuhun royal family, waiting to return to their ancestral land.
Although Huang Mingyuan went on a killing spree in Fuqi City, Murong Rong also brought out a group of pro-Sui royal families from Xuande City when he escaped. According to convention, they will return to Tuyuhun to rule his tribe.
There was a cold light in Huang Mingliao's eyes, and he said coldly: "Whether they are pro-Sui or opposed to the Sui, they are essentially trying to maintain their own rule Therefore, if the Sui Dynasty really wanted to control the land and population of Tuyuhun, they would be their enemies. In this case, it is better to clear them all to save trouble in the future. "
Although Murong Rong kept fawning over Huang Mingliao these days and waited for Huang Mingliao to send him to Xuande City, if Huang Mingliao really wanted to take action against him, he would never be soft-hearted.
Duan Wenchao felt a chill in his heart when he heard Huang Mingliao's murderous intention.
Originally, this was a matter for the Protectorate of the Western Sea. Huang Mingliao, the Protector of the Western Regions, was helpless and should not have made the decision at all. But now Huang Mingliao is rescuing Xihai in a grand manner, and he is still pretending to be the guest of honor. It seems that the purpose of Duke Wei is obvious.
After Huang Mingliao left, Duan Wenchao's nephew Duan Shihong saw that his uncle was worried, so he persuaded him: "Uncle Mingjian, before my father passed away, he asked us to follow Duke Wei closely. The situation has reached this point today, and it was Duke Wei who took that step." , it¡¯s normal, today Huang Duhu is here, he represents Duke Wei, uncle must not be confused.¡±
Duan Wenchao was only upset for a moment, but he could still see clearly what to do.
As an emerging military class, he and his brother were naturally inclined to Huang Mingyuan. Huang Mingyuan took advantage of his illustrious military exploits and Yang Guang's dislike of the Guanlong family and promoted generals who were not directly related to Guanlong to establish a new military class. This was the capital for Huang Mingyuan's establishment, and Duan Wencao was also a member of it.
So at this time, it is a life-and-death struggle. You must not stand in the wrong position.
Duan Wenchao immediately invited Murong Rong to his residence, and then had Murong Rong strangled to death. After Huang Mingliao told him so much, he just hoped that Duan Wenchao would take the initiative to deal with Murong Rong.
Duan Wenchao killed Murong Rong and had all his followers killed. It was announced to the public that Murong Rong and his party were killed in an encounter with Tuyuhun bandits when they went to Chuihe County to persuade them to surrender.
"Anyway, all the nobles in Tuyuhun were killed, and no one cared about it. Among them, Murong Rong's three-year-old son was retained. If a Tuyuhun Khan was to be established in the future, this child would be the best choice. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
