For example, some scholars believe that the Byzantine historical Avars (Awal) people were the Rouran people who moved west after being destroyed by the Turks. The remnants of Rouran who remained in Mobei gradually merged into the Turkic and Khitan tribes.

Another example: during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, due to the capture of war, there were hundreds of thousands of Rouran people scattered in the Central Plains who took the initiative to attach themselves and marry with their relatives. In order to enrich the northern frontier defense, the Northern Wei Dynasty successively relocated the annexed and captured Rouran, Eile and the Han people in the interior to Liuzhen and Pingcheng, where they coexisted with the Tuoba Xianbei military and civilians, and used them as subordinate households and barracks for driving and serving. In order to prevent flight, some of them were also moved into the interior. Most of the Rouran people who migrated to the interior first merged with the Xianbei and were eventually assimilated into the Han people in the Central Plains through various ways such as living together and intermarrying with each other.

If you want to exterminate a nation, it is not easy to say how the regime established by the Turkic people has been eliminated, and how the regime established by the Khitan people has been eliminated, but, absolutely, absolutely cannot shout how the Xiongnu, Turkic and other ethnic groups have been exterminated, not only will they not appear very knowledgeable, but they will be ridiculed for ignorance!

Maybe some people think that the bear is too much, how big is it, is it worth talking about for a long time? I'm sorry, but history is a rigorous thing. said that Li Xun's son established the Tang Dynasty, which son? Isn't that the son? Which one is it? For those who know, they know that it is Li Yuan, but in the history, Li Yuan has four sons, and Li Yuan has a brother above, if the people who record history only say that Li Yuan's son established the Tang Dynasty, can we future generations know which son it is?

History is not mathematics, but like mathematics, it needs rigor.

The Turks, like the Xiongnu and Xianbei, were not a single ethnic group, but a collective term for ethnic groups active in the Mongolian Plateau and Central Asia, and in 540, the word "Turkic" began to appear in the annals of Chinese history, and Turkic entered the field of vision of historians.

Now let's talk about the aforementioned Ele.

The Ole people first lived near Lake Baikal, the Huns called it Ding Ling, and the Xianbei people called it Gao Che because of their use of tall wheels, so there are many other names: Chile, Gao Che, Di Li, Tiele, Ding Ling (or Ding Ling), Uighur, these are all other names for the Eile people.

After the Han Dynasty defeated the Northern Xiongnu, the territory of Eile began to move southward and interact with the Han people in the Central Plains. From the end of the 4th century to the middle of the 6th century AD, following the Xiongnu and Xianbei, the Eile and Rouran people were active in the vast areas of the north, south and northwest of the Chinese desert. During the Northern Qi Dynasty, he lived in the area of Shuozhou (present-day northern Shanxi Province).

The Ele people are also the main ethnic source of the Uyghur people today, which is a proper Chinese!

Speaking of the Uighurs, insert a word about the Uighurs.

The Uighurs were renamed from the Uighurs, a branch of the Uighur tribes, and this is an important statement, although the Uighurs are also known as the Uighurs, but the Uighurs are only a branch of the Uighurs, which include the Uighurs, and the Uighurs do not include the Uighurs, but the Uighurs are also the main ethnic source of the Uyghurs.

Speaking of the Eile people, there is a well-known folk song - the Eile Song, selected from the "Yuefu Poetry Collection", which is a folk song circulated in the Northern Dynasties north of the Yellow River during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and is generally believed to have been translated into Chinese by the Xianbei language. The folk song sings about the magnificent and rich scenery of the northern grassland, and expresses the pride of the people who love their hometown and life.

Speaking of "Eile Song" alone, I'm afraid many people don't know, but, when it comes to "the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep", there are not many people who don't know, that's right, this sentence is from "Eile Song", the whole song is:

Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the four wildernesses. The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

Just looking at the words, there is a kind of heroism riding a horse and galloping on the grassland!

Ah, the bear's thinking is going to diverge again, the bucket pulsates, let's continue.

From the fact that the Eile people were not annexed by Rouran, it can be seen that Eile is also not to be underestimated, but the successive appearance of Rouran and Turkic did not give Eile a chance to develop and grow.

In 550, the Turkic leader Ashina Tumen led his troops to defeat and merge more than 50,000 accounts of the various tribes of Ele, and began to grow and develop, and was valued by the Western Wei Dynasty.

After the Turks grew stronger, they set their sights on Rouran, and in 552 the Turks defeated Rouran, and Ashina Tumen called Ili Khan, establishing a vast Turkic khanate, and its power rapidly expanded to the entire Mongolian plateau.

After the establishment of the Turkic Khanate, the relatively small number of Turkic people merged with a large number of Tiele people, and the physical characteristics of the Turkic people also changed from Caucasian to yellow and white.

By 550, the Turks were already a force to be reckoned with, and by this time the Northern Wei had been divided into the Eastern and Western Weis, both of which were intimidated by the strong military strength of the Turkic Khanate, and adopted a policy of paying tribute to the Turks and making peace with them, in exchange for the support of the Turkic Empire, or neutrality.

The Turks also took this opportunity to either ally with the Northern Zhou to suppress the relatively powerful Northern Qi, or to be in a neutral position to obtain a large number of economic benefits.

Around 560, the Turks conquered Tuyuhun, conquered the Western Regions, and even united with Persia to destroy the White Xiongnu, and today's Xinjiang and the Hezhong region of Central Asia became the territory of the Turkic Khanate. During the period of Turkic power, the territory stretched from the Great Khing'an Mountains and the Liao River basin in the east to the Aral Sea and the central river region of Central Asia in the west.

Such a powerful existence made Yuwen Hu unwilling to violate the agreement with the Turks, and reluctantly sent troops to the east.

Yuwen Hu didn't have much military talent, and he was forced to send troops, coupled with the fact that the Great Zhou soldiers underestimated the enemy, this Eastern Expedition was not only defeated by the Qi State, but also led to the death of Wang Xiong and Yang Hu.

Although Yuwen Yong did not blame Yuwen Hu, because of the failure of this campaign, Yu Wen Hu's personal prestige was greatly reduced.

Some of Yuwen Yong's cronies persuaded Yu Wenyong to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly suppress Yuwen Hu, but Yu Wen Yong thought that this was not the best time, and Yu Wen Yong also knew that his prestige was reduced, so he was also wary of Yu Wen Yong, besides, some people who had followed Yu Wen Tai in the southern and northern wars were still more supportive of Yu Wen Hu.

Yu Wenyong shook his head:

"No, now is not the best time, we only have one chance, don't rush it."

For the time being, let's put down the Great Zhou/Northern Zhou, let Yuwen Yong and Yuwen Hu go to the side to pinch the fight, and talk about Kun Yuguo.

Before I say that, I would like to mention another nomadic people, the Dangxiang people.

The Dangxiang clan is a branch of the Xiqiang ethnic group, so it also has the title of "Dangxiang Qiang".

It is reported that the Qiang originated from the "Cizhi" or "Xizhi", that is, the area of the Yellow River in the southeast of Qinghai Province.
