Chapter 540: Lifting the Siege of Yunzhou

"It just so happens that I am also planning to go to Yunzhou. I suspect that the Turks who attacked Yunzhou are the remnants of the Turks that I have been chasing." Cheng Wuting said.

Anyway, it's on the way, so he takes Dou Huaixiu with him to Yunzhou.

To be honest, Cheng Wuting looked down on the few people that Dou Huaixiu had. If he hadn't just happened to go to Yunzhou to confirm whether the Turks who attacked Yunzhou were the remnants of the Turks that he had been chasing, Cheng Wuting would not have taken him with him.

"That's great! General, please wait for a moment. I have ordered people to prepare food and fodder, and it will be ready soon." Dou Huaixiu said.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Dou. The military situation is urgent. If we delay any longer, Yunzhou will be captured and the people of Yunzhou will be in danger." Cheng Wuting said.

"Don't worry, General! It will be done soon! General, please sit down and have a cup of tea." Dou Huaixiu said.

"Then I'll have to trouble you!" Cheng Wuting said with a bow.

"You're welcome!" Dou Huaixiu asked someone to serve tea to Cheng Wuting, while handing over the affairs of the Daizhou Governor's Office to the Chief Secretary and others.

"General, we can set off now. The food and fodder have been prepared." Dou Huaixiu said.

"Then let's go!" Cheng Wuting didn't waste any words. He left the Daizhou Governor's Office with Dou Huaixiu and led the soldiers to attack Yunzhou.

Dou Huaixiu led a thousand soldiers and followed Cheng Wuting to rescue Yunzhou.

The Turkic army failed to capture Yunzhou City for several days. The Turkic leader Handahan was furious. He had repelled several Tang troops that came to support Yunzhou City in the past few days.

He knew in his heart that the Tang troops supporting Yunzhou City now were only a few hundred or thousands of small troops. As time went on, more and more Tang troops would come to rescue Yunzhou.

But Yunzhou, which was so close, could not be captured until now. Handahan was a little irritable.

"My lord, it's bad! A large number of Tang troops were discovered!" The Turkish soldier broke into Handahan's tent and said.

Handahan was angry. Damn it, another Tang army reinforcement came. It was like a fly, so annoying.

"How many soldiers does the enemy have?" Handahan asked.

"Twenty thousand!" said the Turkish soldier.

"Who is the enemy's main general?" Handahan asked.

"The enemy's flags have Dou and Cheng embroidered on them respectively. The scout said it should be the governor of Daizhou, Dou Huaiqi, and Cheng Wuting who has been chasing us." said the Turkish soldier.

"It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet. Send the order to prepare for battle." Handahan said.

"Yes!" The Turkish soldiers retreated, and the horn sounded in the camp.

The Turkish army began to assemble, and when the horn sounded, the defenders of Yunzhou City immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

In the battles with the Turks these days, I can more or less hear something from the opponent's horn.

The horn sounded just now was the horn sound for the Turks to start gathering. When they finished gathering, they would soon launch an attack on Yunzhou City.

The Yunzhou defenders waited on the top of the city for a long time but did not see any trace of the Turks. They were puzzled.

At this time, the Turkic army was fighting with Cheng Wuting's troops.

"Pass the order down, the whole army should press forward and defeat them." Cheng Wuting pointed at the Turks in front and ordered.

Seeing the 20,000 Tang troops coming towards them, the Turks did not hesitate to press forward with their whole army. They were determined to destroy this arrogant Tang army and let them know how powerful the Turks were.

Tens of thousands of Turkic cavalrymen were aiming directly at Cheng Wuting. They hated Cheng Wuting, who treated them like a homeless dog, and this time they were determined to get rid of him.

The two sides fought a fierce battle. Although the Turkic cavalrymen had the advantage in numbers, they were still no match for Cheng Wuting.

Soon, 60,000 Turkic cavalrymen were defeated by the Tang army, and Handahan had to evacuate with the remnants.

"General Dou, the next thing is up to you. I have to continue to pursue the remnants of the Turks, so I will not go to Yunzhou City with you. We will say goodbye now." Cheng Wuting said. "

Okay! General, be careful on your way. I, Dou Huaixiu, would like to wish you a successful start." Dou Huaixiu said.

The two said goodbye, and Cheng Wuting led the troops to continue pursuing the remnants of the Turks.

Dou Huaiqiu had people clean up the battlefield while sending people to notify the Yunzhou garrison.

The Turkic Ashidewenfu reunited the Turks of the Ashide tribe. He still did not give up and wanted to continue to fight the Tang Dynasty to the end.

Sending the remnants of the Fengzhi tribe to attack Yunzhou was only the first step of his entire plan. If he wanted to fight the Tang Dynasty to the end, it would definitely not work with his own tribe alone.

That would undoubtedly be like an egg hitting a stone.

He must call on other East Turkic tribes to join him.

So Ashidewenfu thought of Ashina Funian, the son of Jie Li Khan's cousin.

He heard that Ashina Funian was now in Xiazhou and had privately proclaimed himself the Khan of East Turk.

As long as Ashina Funian is welcomed back, we can rely on the prestige of Ashina's family to call on other tribes to fight against the Tang Dynasty.

"Everyone, the Tang army is powerful. If we fight against the Tang Dynasty alone, it will be like an ant trying to shake a tree."

"We need a person of weight to call on other tribes to follow us to fight against the Tang Dynasty."

"Only by gathering the power of all the Turks can we defeat the Tang people and protect our families." Ashina Wenfu said.

"Wenfu Khan! Ashina Nishufu has been killed by his subordinates, and his head has been presented to the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang army has never given up on encircling us."

"In such a short time, let's go somewhere to find a suitable person to call on the tribes to resist the oppression of the Tang people." Nurhaci, the general of the Fengzhi Department, said.

The only people who can call on the tribes and make them respond to the call willingly are the Ashina family.

But the Ashina family is not the kind of cabbage that can be found anywhere.

In such a hurry, where can they find the Ashina family to help them call on the tribes.

"Don't worry, our Eastern Turkic once great Jie Li Khan, his nephew Ashina Funian is now in Xiazhou. As long as we can bring him back to become our Khan, we can call on the tribes." Ashina Wenfu said.

"Wenfu Khan! Xiazhou is the border of the Tang Dynasty. Will the Tang people allow us to bring Ashina Funian back?"

"If we are blocked by the Tang army on the way, and Ashina Funian dies on the way, the tribes may resent us for this." Dagula, the top general under Ashide Wenfu, saluted and said.

"I have already thought about this. We will secretly send people to Xiazhou to bring Ashina Funian back. I have also sent people to contact Ashina Funian."

"But before that, we have one more thing to do. Only in this way can we divert the attention of the Tang army to other places, and we can more smoothly bring back our Khan." Ashide Wenfu said.
