When Wei Yunqi fought fiercely to secure Beicheng, Sun Cixu, who was wandering outside, had no time to spare.
After leaving Dingbeicheng, Sun Cixu went straight to Weishan Fort. He never thought about harassing the enemy troops around the Turkic coalition to reduce the pressure on Dingbeicheng.
Sun Cixu knew very well that the more than two thousand people under his command seemed to be a lot, but in the face of tens of thousands of Turkic coalition forces, they were actually not very useful.
And the Sui army alone will definitely not be able to win. The reason why Wei Yunqi gave him these two thousand people was to use them to suppress the Tiele people and give them the confidence and courage to resist. If he loses his troops, will he just rely on words to make the tribes work for him?
Weishan Fort is about two hundred miles away from Dingbei City. It is built on the west side of Langjuxu Mountains. It is named after Weishan, a general of the Western Han Dynasty. Weishan was the captain of the Northern Territory during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the fourth year of Yuanshou (117 BC), he attacked the Xiongnu from Huo Qubing, the hussar general, and won the title of King Zuoxian (mostly the prince) and the title of Marquis of Yiyang.
Wei Yunqi named these cities after famous generals of the Western Han Dynasty, which was both intimidating and inspiring.
This time z.com Zhang Si. With a distance of two hundred miles, they could not only go west to reinforce Dingbeicheng at any time, but also rely on Langjuxu Mountain and the castle to establish a defense line to prevent the Turkic coalition forces from taking advantage of the situation to make a surprise attack.
强牺 tianlaixw.com 读牺。 After Sun Cixu arrived at Weishan Fort, Then he sent a message to the surrounding tribes, ordering them to assemble at Weishan Fort, and at the same time mobilize troops to the other five forts in Gonglu River.
In fact, in addition to these two thousand people, Sun Cixu still had a lot of troops in his hands. There are six forts in Gonglu River, each with four hundred Han troops and two hundred Hu cavalry, that is, 3,600 people.
In addition to Weishan Fort, Sun Cixu also dispatched half of the troops and horses from Anji, Ponu, Bode, and Fuluzhi Forts and rushed to Weishan City. As for the Bushi Castle, it was too far away and facing Ju Lunbo directly, so he did not dare to move.
With only 1,200 people mobilized, Sun Cixu was a little worried. The Fourth Fort already does not have enough troops. If we deploy half of the troops, the situation will become even more difficult.
Ding Beicheng is important, and Gong Lushui prevents the Tiele people from taking advantage of the opportunity to go south, which is also important.
At this time, the ministries had not arrived yet, and the first thing Sun Cixu did was to raise food.
Weishan Fort is a small garrison with only 600 people. They have only stocked up on food for almost eight months for the winter. But as soon as Sun Cixu arrived, the number of people suddenly more than tripled, and the food could only last two months.
If the four forts from the east arrive, the food will be even more insufficient.
The farthest Fort Bode is 800 miles away from Weishan Fort, and it would take several days for the cavalry to reach it even if they were galloping day and night, so don¡¯t expect them to carry enough food and grass.
The worst plan is to defend Dingbeicheng and everyone will stay in Weishan Fort all winter.
Sun Cixu hesitated for a moment, then ordered all the cattle and sheep in the fort to be slaughtered and made into dried meat for food.
Weishan Fort is not only a military fortress, but also plays a role in attracting scattered herdsmen. After all, the future is a place that will be developed into a city.
There are not many herdsmen in Weishanbao, only a few hundred people, most of whom are family members. Counting the cattle and sheep raised by the Weishanbao garrison, there are about two to three thousand, which is not too many.
They were all killed, and everyone was worried that they would not be able to survive the coming year.
Sun Cixu scolded: "If we lose this battle, whether we can survive until next year is a question. How can we care about next year?"
So the army had no choice but to follow orders.
Sun Cixu also had no choice but to supply the horses with the only fodder he had. This was not enough, so he had to borrow it from surrounding tribes. And as time goes by, the cattle and sheep will lose more weight, so it is better to slaughter them as soon as possible and save more meat.
Anyway, in this weather, there is no need to worry about the meat spoiling.
Dried meat was hung all over Weishan City. Many herdsmen shed tears of distress when they saw that even breeding cattle and sheep had been killed. But there is nothing they can do about it. They can only push their hatred to the Turkic coalition forces and wait for revenge.
These grains are definitely not enough.
¡° Even if we only eat cattle and sheep, we can¡¯t distinguish one person from another. How can we live on one cow all winter?
Sun Cixu had no choice but to ask for help from several surrounding tribes. His intention was very clear. He wanted to bring food and people. This time, he would stay close to the Sui army first. The Sui army would not treat the tribes badly in the future.
In fact, the current Tiele tribes are also scattered, and they are no longer as prosperous as before. The Tongluo tribe moved westward, the Hun tribe and the Mengchen tribe moved south, the Weihe tribe moved north, and the Turuhe tribe fell. In Tiele, Mobei, there are only eleven tribes left, such as Beyegu, Pugu, Sijie, Duolange, Fuluo, Huxue, Xijie, Adi, Bailin, Ate and Juluobo.
Among the eleven parts, Beyegu and Pugu are relatively independent. Huxue, Kuluobo and Ate are the farthest to the north, and are on both sides of the Sui and Weihe tribes. The Thinking Department is gradually decliningThe tribes were scattered and attached to the Turks and Sui Dynasties respectively. Only the Duolange, Fuluo, Xijie, and Adi tribes were the most loyal to the Sui Dynasty.
In response to the Sui Dynasty's request for help, the Adui tribe and the Dulange tribe responded the fastest and most actively.
After the Sui army established Dingbei City, the Adui and Dulange tribes moved westward and divided the Tongluo tribe's vast area north of Gonglu River and south of Heishui (now the Enen River in Mongolia).
The land of the two tribes is fertile and they are under the protection of the Sui army. As long as they do not seek death, safety is not a problem.
Without the Great Sui Dynasty, the Second Division would not be able to defend this territory, so the two divisions are the most loyal to the Great Sui Dynasty.
At this time, Da Sui¡¯s father was in need, so the two departments naturally helped him with all their resources.
Adi Hezhe and Dulan Gezhong personally led the tribal elites to come to support, and also brought a large number of cattle and sheep, and even the most precious fodder.
According to the two men, even if all the cattle and sheep in the tribe starve to death, the war horses of the Celestial Dynasty cannot starve.
The degree of respect and respect was no less than the filial piety shown by Xiaozhi and Bangzi to Yingjiang¡¯s father in later generations. This attitude even moved Sun Cixu.
Soon, Xijie and Fuluo tribes from the north also arrived. However, Xijiezan and Fuluo Mantuo each brought 1,500 cavalry, less than half of the tribe's troops and horses, and they had no cattle, sheep, or fodder. To some extent, at first glance, it seems that he has a perfunctory attitude.
As for At and Xue Xue further north, there is no news at all, and it is not known whether they support the Sui Dynasty or the rebels.
Not to mention Juluobo who was farther away, Ate and Xue Xue were far less loyal to the Sui Dynasty than they were afraid of Wei He. The second department is too far from Dingbeicheng and too close to Beihai. The Sui Dynasty generally did not take the initiative to attack various tribes, but Wei He's tribe pulled and beat the second tribe. In this case, it is hard to blame the second tribe for falling to Wei He's tribe.
And before the Sui Dynasty, the main target was to capture the big tribes and put them down. Therefore, the small tribes rebelled and surrendered repeatedly, and there was no big punishment. This gave the second tribe greater luck.
This time Wei He¡¯s tribe sent troops south, and the Second Division was also coerced. When the Sui envoys arrived, even if the Second Division had the intention, they could not send troops to rescue them, so they had to pretend not to know.
On the other hand, Sun Cixu's servants, who had no hope, also sent thousands of cavalry to support them at the critical moment of the stalemate with the Ba Yegu tribe, and also gave 3,000 cattle and sheep to the Sui Dynasty, which was a great gesture.
I have to say that this move was as good as the Sui Dynasty.

Some people and some tribes are destined to perish in the chaos sweeping across Mobei
