Chapter 077: Poisonous Heart
"Father Khan! The Tiele people are unfaithful! ”
After the meeting ended, Ashina Shibabi, the eldest son of Shibi Khan, said to his father.
"You can see it, and how can I not know." Shibi Khan was satisfied with the keen insight of his eldest son, but there was nothing he could do.
Over the years, the Eastern and Western Turks have stood side by side, and the Tiele tribes have swayed left and right, one will throw themselves into the Western Turks, and the other will descend to the Turks, and even often stand on their own as Khan.
"Tongluo is already old, and I'm not afraid at all. However, the Yi lost bowl of the Xue Yantuo Department and the Qi Bi Yage of the Qi Bi Department were unruly, young and strong, and ambitious. They had been self-reliant a few years ago, and their strength was the strongest among the Tiele tribes, so they needed to be careful. ”
Ashina Shibabi also agreed with his father's words, "They dare to be disrespectful to my father, let me go and cut off their heads!" ”
"We don't need to do it, we can borrow a knife to kill people."
"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?" Ashina Shi Bobi was puzzled.
"Do you know why Yang Guang of the Southern Sui Dynasty wanted to mobilize his army to fight Goguryeo, a small country?" Shibi Khan suddenly asked.
Ashina Shi Bobi said: "Yang Guang is so happy and stubborn. ”
"It's not!" Shibi Khan shook his head and said: "There is a Guanlong elite group in Southern Sui, and their strength is deep into all the armies of the Sui Dynasty, as long as they want to rebel, the Sui Dynasty will change the dynasty in an instant." Yang Guang was afraid that after his death, his descendants would be powerless to stop it, so he made three expeditions to Goguryeo, trying to use the war to consume the Guanlong elite group. The Guanlong elite group is the biggest hidden danger of the Sui Dynasty, and in the Turks, for my Ashina family, the biggest threat is Tiele. ”
Ashina Shi Bobi suddenly said: "Father Khan wants to learn from Yang Guang and consume Tie Le's strength by killing Tiger Pass?" ”
Shi Bi stroked his son's hair and said: "That's right, I'm not going to bring Tiele's soldiers and horses back, there are too many of them, the soldiers and horses are too strong, they should die under the Tiger Pass." ”
Shibi Khan's words are ruthless and ruthless.
The Tiele people are also known as Dili, Dingling, Eile, and Gaoche. At the earliest, the Tiele people lived in the area of Daxianbei Mountain, that is, the area of Daxinganling.
Later, there were continuous migrations, and now there are Tiele tribes in the Eastern and Western Turks. In the north of the Tula River, there are servant bones, Tongluo, Wei Su, Bayegu, and Cover...... From Hami to Yanqi North near the Tianshan Mountains, there are Qibi, Wuhu, Sugu and so on...... In the southwest of the Altai Mountains, there are Xue Yantuo and so on. The Aral Sea in Central Asia, the Caspian Sea and the Caspian Sea are surrounded by Heja, Sulu, etc. To the east of West Asia, there are Alan and so on. Lake Baikal has Dubo and so on.
They are very well distributed and have many tribes.
"Isn't that self-defeating?" Shi Bo asked.
"The grassland has always been respected by the strong. Only when you are strong can you suppress the tribes. If we are weak and they are strong, then they will unceremoniously replace us. Your third uncle Ashina has been dissatisfied with me, not only has he had frequent contacts with the Sui Dynasty recently, and he has purchased a large number of advanced weapons with war horses, but now he is not coming directly on the grounds that Mu Wei is uneasy, and the heart of disobedience can be seen in general, and I got the news that he has secretly negotiated with the leaders of the Tiele tribes, and the strength of the Tiele tribes is strong, if we add the third child, then our chances of winning will be greatly reduced. ”
Shibi Khan knew that the Tiger Pass was difficult to attack, and he didn't plan to really go south from the Tiger Pass, and his tough attitude at the military meeting was actually just to weaken the strength of the Tiele tribes by the hands of the Great Sui.
Today, he ordered the general of the same Luo Department, but in fact, he was also a drunkard, not in wine.
Tieler's greatest threat to the Turks was actually the Khibi and Xue Yantuo, of which the Khibi was the strongest, but he did not go to them first, but rushed to the weaker Tong Luo. He decided to remove its branches and leaves, and gnaw on the two hard bones of Qibi and Xue Yantuo.
"Tomorrow, I will order the Tongluo tribe to attack the city, if he refuses again, I will kill the Tongluo capital with dignity, and annex his tribe and soldiers, and then order the Qibi tribe to attack the city again."
Kill chickens and monkeys, and then borrow a knife to kill.
"Father Khan, if we delay too long and lose too much under the Tiger Killing Pass, will it affect Father Khan's prestige?"
Shibi Khan laughed: "The prestige of our grassland comes from strength, everything else is nonsense!" I only hope that the Tiger Killer Guards will be able to defend it forever, and when the strength of the Tiele people is eliminated, we will immediately withdraw to the Khan Court, and then in the name of revenge, launch the Tiele people to attack the attack. ”
"Didn't Father Khan say that the third uncle planned to establish himself as Khan? If Father Khan goes back and forth like this, will he collude with Tiele to rebel? ”
Shibi Khan said disapprerovingly, "Dubi is my brother, I know him too well, ambitious and rebellious, even if he is really self-reliant, it is possible, but as long as I don't die, he will obediently surrender to me." ”
"As for borrowing a knife to kill someone, it will indeed weaken my Turkic power, but there is no need to be afraid. Because the Sui Dynasty, which poses the greatest threat to us, is already an empty shell of a foreign power and a middle cadre, and it will collapse without us fighting. At that time, Yang Jian implemented the strategy of separating the strong and combining the weak with us, which caused us to continue internal strife. Now I am learning from their methods to support Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu and others, and more people will come to me and beg me in the future. What we need to do now is not to raise troops to the south, but to unite the Turks into a great khanate with a united mind. As soon as the Sui Dynasty was in chaos, these ambitious people would attack each other, and when they fought to the death, the Turks with one heart could wave their troops south, so as to enter the Central Plains. ”
……
The next morning!
Shibi Khan walked out of the king's tent, and dozens of followers saluted in unison.
The Turkic military system is relatively simple, with only three titles: Tuojie, Guard, and String Control
Attached to the elite soldiers selected from the nine surnames of Zhaowu, the Turks attached great importance to the Hu people, and named the most brave Hu soldiers into a small-scale army named Tuojie, which has incomparably strong combat power; The guards are called attached, and it is also the meaning of the wolf, which means that the personal soldiers of the wolf clan, and the subordinate team of the chief of the steppe khan, who has made great contributions in the era of Turkic entrepreneurship, and is a warrior who is full of experience and has experienced a hundred battles.
The man who controls the strings is actually the person who can go to the battlefield, the Turkic people are fierce, and every adult man is a strong warrior, so the population is not large but can easily gather hundreds of thousands of people who control the strings, compared to the first two, the people who control the strings have a certain combat power, but they are always not orthodox soldiers.
"Ling Tong Luo Du led the headquarters to attack and kill the Tiger Pass!"
The herald did not return long after, saying that Tongluo refused to fight.
Shibi Khan smiled coldly, "Gather the chiefs of the tribes to discuss military affairs, and I want to hear how he will explain the disobedience of the order." ”
After a while, all the chiefs rushed to the Chinese army.
In front of the king's tent, Shibi Khan stood there with a cold face and a golden knife in his hand.
Brother Qi said in a low voice to He Yi, "Let's not go over, let's see how he gets down." ”
Tong Luo Du coldly bowed to Shibi Khan, and then stood aside.
When everyone arrived, Shibi Khan waved his hand, and suddenly the brigade attached to the wolf rode and rushed up, directly pressing Tongluo to the ground.
"Tong Luodu, you have resisted the order several times and refused, how can Ben Khan allow you to be half-hearted. Come on, push it down and cut it! ”
Qi Bige was stunned, and Yi lost the bowl and others pleaded in shock.
But Shibi didn't pay attention to it at all, and after a while, the head of Tong Luodu was brought up.
"If you disobey the orders of the same Luobu, it is equivalent to a rebel! Throw the head of Tongluodu to their camp, Ben Khan will give them another chance, go and attack the city now, then they can atone for their sins, otherwise, there will be no forgiveness for killing! ”
As a result, more than 18,000 soldiers and horses of the Tongluo tribe were driven to the front of the Tiger Pass.
The trumpet sounded.
Behind them were rows of archers, and in front of them was the five-zhang high Tiger Killing Pass.
After a slight hesitation, Shibi Khan sent someone to shoot a wave of arrows at the Tongluo army, immediately shooting down hundreds of people.
Under the power, the Tongluo army had no choice but to start attacking the city.
The narrow pass was no more than 300 steps, and they had no equipment except a simple ladder.
They had to cover some of the people with bows and arrows to climb the city with ladders.
