Chapter 543 Encounter

"Okay! As long as you can give these five states to the Tang Dynasty, I will believe everything you say, but I still have to remind you."

"If you dare to deceive me, your Changshengtian can forgive you, and my Tang Dynasty's iron cavalry will tear you to pieces." Cao Huaishun said.

"Please rest assured, General! My Xueyantuo tribe will never go back on its word." Dahun said.

Dahun knew in his heart that the most taboo now is to be in two minds. Either go all the way and support the Turks to resist the Tang Dynasty.

Or obediently submit to the Tang Dynasty. With the protection of the Tang Dynasty, other tribes will not dare to bully them.

In fact, Dahun did not think highly of the Turks, so after weighing again and again, he still planned to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

As for the five states of Guyanzhou, Bujuruozhou, Xidanzhou, Huzhou, and Disuzhou, they are not from the Xueyantuo tribe, but it doesn't matter.

They can seize these five states. Anyway, they will offend the Turks, so they might as well offend them to death. There

are many people from the Xueyantuo tribe living in these five states, so it is not difficult to seize these five states.

"Then let's say goodbye. We will meet again in the mountains and rivers. I hope that we will be friends drinking and chatting happily when we meet again in the future, instead of enemies fighting each other." Cao Huaishun said with a bow, and led his troops away.

He wanted to return to the border as soon as possible to replenish supplies so that his soldiers could have a good rest. After recuperating, they could go into battle to kill the enemy.

Cao Huaishun's troops returned along the original route and came to the north of the Great Wall. He finally met the person he wanted to meet - Ashidewenfu.

Ashidewenfu did not expect to meet Cao Huaishun's troops here. When he heard the report from his subordinates, Ashidewenfu was shocked.

Cao Huaishun was also shocked! He never expected to meet Ashidewenfu's troops north of the Great Wall.

Both sides were surprised to meet each other in this place.

So, after a small battle, both sides led their troops to retreat.

Cao Huaishun was afraid that he could not match the Turks because his troops were tired and he was afraid that he could not defeat the Turks. He temporarily avoided the Turks' edge to avoid being killed here.

He did not want to die before he could accomplish his mission!

As for Ashide Wenfu, he came here to welcome the Xueyantuo tribe who came to join them.

He originally planned to wait for the Xueyantuo tribe to merge, and then take them to the nearby prefectures to plunder, so that the Xueyantuo tribe would also attract some hatred from the Tang people.

But he didn't expect that the person he was waiting for didn't come, but the Tang army instead.

This is the border of the Tang Dynasty, and it is possible to encounter patrol soldiers of the Tang army at any time. If they are discovered and attract more Tang troops, he is afraid that he will have to die here.

Therefore, Ashide Wenfu also decided to evacuate here first.

Halfway through the journey, Cao Huaishun met Li Wenliang and his deputy Liu Jingtong who came to look for them.

The two sides joined forces, and Cao Huaishun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"How did you end up here? Is the chief steward here too?" Cao Huaishun asked.

"The chief steward was worried that something might happen to you, so he sent us to pick you up. We didn't see any trace of you in Heisha, but we didn't expect to meet you here." "The chief steward

is here too, but he's stationed at Daizhou Xingkou for the time being," Li Wenliang said.

"General! You're so ruthless, did you encounter the Turks and did the two sides fight?" Deputy General Liu Jingtong asked.

"Don't mention it. After I arrived at Heisha and didn't see any trace of the Turks, I withdrew my troops and returned. On the way, I met the Xueyantuo tribe, and later I encountered the Turks north of the Great Wall."

"We fought with the Turks and were exhausted, so we had to lead the soldiers to evacuate and wanted to return from other places." Cao Huaishun said.

Cao Huaishun explained the whole story clearly.

"So where do we go now? Go back and capture Ashidewenfu?" Deputy General Liu Jingtong asked.

"No! We don't know how many troops the enemy has, and we don't know if this is a trap. I think it's better to be careful." Cao Huaishun said.

"General Cao is right. We don't know the enemy situation. If we return rashly, we may be ambushed, which is bad."

"If this is a trick of the Turks, if we rush in, it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out."

"In my opinion, it is not too late to go back and make a long-term plan." Li Wenliang agreed with Cao Huaishun's opinion and put forward his own suggestions.

"Then I will listen to you." said Dou Yizhao, the deputy general.

So Cao Huaishun and others led the troops to go back to Daizhou and join Pei Xingjian.

But they didn't expect to meet Ashina Funian's army in a place called Hengshui.

Ashina Funian was also shocked. He didn't expect to meet the Tang army here.

"Khan! It's the Tang army!" Ashina Funian's subordinates pointed at the Tang army on the opposite side and said.

"Why are there Tang troops in this place?" Ashina Funian asked in confusion, and was shocked beyond words.

"Khan! What should we do?" Ashina Funian's top general Deheda asked.

"The Tang army is nothing to be afraid of, everyone don't panic! The reason why we lost to the Tang army is because of the fear in our hearts." "

As long as we can overcome the fear in our hearts, we will be invincible. Deheda, organize an attack immediately, I want to personally defeat the Tang army on the opposite side." Ashina Funian said.

The Turks were now somewhat afraid of the Tang army because they had been defeated several times. Ashina Funian needed a victory to boost morale and help the soldiers overcome their fear.

Ashina Funian saw the fatigue of the other side, and with their numerical advantage, they might be able to defeat the other side.

"Yes! Khan!" Deheda responded, and immediately personally selected a team of supervisors to press the battle, forcing the Turks to face the Tang army and overcome their fear.

After Cao Huaishun and others discovered the Turkish army, they did not withdraw immediately. They knew that if they fled without fighting, the Turks would only chase them more fiercely.

They were likely to be defeated by the pursuit of the Turks, and they themselves might even die on the spot.

Cao Huaishun, Dou Yizhao, Li Wenliang and deputy general Liu Jing then formed a square formation with the four armies.

"The Turks are coming!" Someone shouted loudly, and the whole army was immediately affected. Everyone's heart was in their throat.

"Everyone, keep calm, keep your formation! Archers, get ready!" Cao Huaishun personally commanded, and the messenger waved the flag and sent out the flag signal.

Officers at all levels fought according to the orders from their superiors.

The archers immediately drew their bows and aimed at the Turkic cavalry charging at them.

"Shoot!" As the Turkic cavalry entered the area covered by the rain of arrows, Cao Huaishun immediately ordered to shoot.

The messenger waved the flag in his hand, and suddenly, thousands of arrows were fired at once, rising high into the sky and drawing a parabola in the air, pouring down on the Turkic cavalry like raindrops.
