Chapter 122: Turkic Civil Strife, Princess Yicheng

"Your Majesty, a great joy! What a joy! ”

Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department, stepped forward at the court meeting and presented a border letter.

All the officials wondered, what a joy there is, but this Hou Junji, and it is not a thing, can't it be read out on the spot?

Li Shimin took the letter forwarded by the chamberlain and looked at it, and said with great joy: "Okay! What a joy! ”

"Your Majesty, what is it that makes you happy, why don't you say it and share it with you?" Counselor Wei Zheng stepped forward and asked.

Li Shimin's eyes couldn't contain the joy, and he said with a smile: "The Western Turkic Khan commanded Ye Hu, led an army of 100,000, and attacked the Eastern Turkic Khan Jieli Department. ”

To put it bluntly, the civil strife between the Eastern and Western Turks, Li Fangchen's layout was achieved before, and only one Nine Wolves Roaring Moon completely stimulated the ambition of the Western Turkic Khan to rule Yehu.

Now that the Tang Dynasty and the Eastern and Western Turks have been spared from disasters, after the opening of the market, all kinds of goods that were undesirable in the past can now be seen everywhere, and even iron tools have been banned by the Tang Dynasty.

Tong Ye Hu believes that Datang has the intention of making friends, and coupled with the conditions of King Qin of Datang when he purchased the Nine Wolves Howling Moon before, he has a bolder guess.

The matter of the Weishui Alliance has not been diluted, and what the two khans of Turkic Jieli and Turki did at the beginning completely angered the Tang Dynasty, at that time, the Tang Dynasty had just quelled the turmoil and could not gather strength.

If he follows Datang's wishes at this time and competes with the Eastern Turks, no matter whether he wins or loses, he can get more benefits from Datang.

In addition, the Turks were divided into two parts, the East and the West, but the most orthodox Khan position has always been in the Jieli line, if he can really succeed this time, then he will reintegrate the East and West Turks, and he can directly become the most powerful Khan of the Turkic Khanate in the future.

No matter how you look at this matter, Tong Ye Hu feels that he should be like this.

At the same time, he also sent people to the Tang Dynasty to show friendship between the two states, and hoped that the Tang Emperor could send a princess to make peace with the Western Turks.

It's just that before this envoy arrived in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin had already received the news of the war between the Eastern and Western Turks.

On the side of the Eastern Turks, Jieli Khan panicked, originally pampering the beauty in his royal court and enjoying the wine bought by the Tang Dynasty, when suddenly a thunderclap sounded in his ears.

"Tong Yehu, this idiot, actually sent troops to attack my Eastern Turks? Didn't he know that the tiger next to him was already menacing? ”

Even he didn't believe it himself, today's Datang is really a little unpredictable, although the two states are friendly, but they are also a little hostile to each other.

If it is a year of famine, when it is time to invade the Tang Dynasty, he will never be ambiguous.

It's just that right now, whatever is lacking can be exchanged for cattle and sheep going to Datang, and the previous belligerent mind has decreased a lot.

"No, this must not happen, we must send someone to inform Tong Ye Hu and ask him to withdraw immediately!"

Xu is his own khan is used to it, unconsciously with a tone of command, although the Tongye family is a big tribe, but it is always not as good as his own way, it stands to reason that there should be no intention of resisting.

But he forgot that now that the Eastern and Western Turks are separated, and the Western Turks border the Tang Dynasty with little land, but the Eastern Turks have become the biggest "obstacle" between the two!

I sent someone out, waited for a few days, and the warriors returned.

"Khan, it's not good!"

"What's the panic? What does it mean to protect him? ”

Sitting in the king's tent, Jieli Khan had a serious face.

The warrior who came back to report hurriedly explained: "Qiyu Khan, the Iron Law Lord sent to persuade the Tongye Protector Khan, has been cut off by the Tongye Guardian Khan. ”

"What!"

Getting up angrily, Jie Li really didn't expect that Tong Yehu would have such a big courage.

Go back and forth in the ledger and think about how to do it.

"I almost forgot, it seems that there are still them!"

A cold light appeared in his eyes, and he almost forgot that in his Eastern Turks, there were some "guests" with a lot of origin!

In the remote part of the royal court, there is a camp tent, which is different from most of the camp tents of the royal court, with few animal skins and more brocade.

Outside the tent, there is a big flag fluttering, the flag is embroidered with gold characters, and the word "Sui" explains everything.

Jieli Khan's stepmother and his designated wife, Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty.

This is a historical celebrity, as a royal princess who was forced to make peace, she was lucky, because she avoided court disputes, but also unfortunately, and after the death of Princess Anyi, who was close to the Turkic Qimin Khan, in order to develop peaceful relations with the Turks, Emperor Wen of Sui changed her name to Gongism and married Qimin Khan.

In the Sui Dynasty, the Turkic leaders married two princesses in a row, and only one was the Qimin Khan. Princess Yicheng lived in the Turks for nearly 30 years, and successively married Qimin Khan, Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, and Jieli Khan.

Marrying her father first and then marrying her son, and marrying her younger brother after her brother's death, this weak princess Yicheng has been influenced by the Central Plains culture since she was a child, and in order to ensure the foundation of the Sui Dynasty, she did not dare to commit suicide, because she was the link between the two countries.

But after the establishment of the "usurpation" of the Tang Dynasty, she completely became an avenger, and her patience with so many years of hard work finally became useless. She has changed, and she is no longer as submissive as before, and she has begun to offer suggestions repeatedly, in order to make Datang disappear.

And in this tooth tent, there is not only Princess Yicheng alone, but also Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty and the heir of the Sui Dynasty who were taken from Dou Jiande, the grandson of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Zhengdao.

Later, the Turks and the Tang Dynasty signed the Weishui Alliance, and Princess Yicheng was completely angry, quarreled with Jieli, and then moved out of the king's tent, and has not returned so far.

"Yicheng, come out!"

Hearing this sound, two ladies with attractive figures and dusty temperaments in the tent walked out of it.

"Khan, are you looking for me?" Because Yicheng is Jieli's wife, he naturally doesn't need too much etiquette.

"I've seen Jieli Khan!" Empress Xiao slowly saluted, turning a blind eye to Jieli's offensive gaze, if it weren't for the protection of Yicheng, she was afraid that she would have been ruined long ago.

But she can't die, Dao'er is still young, and she still needs her protection to preserve the bloodline for the Yang family.

I have to say that the two girls are very well maintained, but they have much more charm than these Turkic girls, and they all have a heavy taste, how can Jieli, who is used to eating delicacies, touch those girls.

Sometimes I can't hold it back, so I arrange for someone to go to the Datang border, grab two Datang women back, and give them to the next person when I get tired of playing.

"Yicheng, Tongye Hu wants to fight the Eastern Turks!"

"What?" How could Princess Yicheng believe it, and hurriedly asked, "But has it been transferred by others?" ”

Jieli told the matter of the Nine Wolves Xiaoyue at the previous auction, and I have to mention that Princess Yicheng is much smarter than these bad Turkic men, and often plays the role of a military advisor by Jieli's side, otherwise Jieli would not be so laissez-faire to her.

A Queen Xiao, although greedy, is not so bad that he will be lost in beauty, besides, now that the other party is on the grassland, there is a chance for him to eat this beautiful lamb.

After listening to what happened in Datang during this period of time, Princess Yicheng couldn't help but sigh: "What a Datang!" What a King of Qin! ”

Empress Xiao also had a lot of admiration in her eyes, how old was the baby who actually played with the Eastern and Western Turks in applause, and the clear allocation plan must be borne by the Eastern and Western Turks, and she was willing to step into it.

"Send people, give gifts, reconcile with Tongye Hu, and at the same time reconcile with the Tang Dynasty, at this moment, the khan must worry about whether my Eastern Turkic Khanate will suffer from the enemy!"

"How to fix it?"

"Give gifts, give people, send horses, you can give anything!"

Jieli's eyes lit up instantly, give it away? Hmph, is there any better role than the Empress Xiao in front of you? There is also the Emperor Sun of Sui, if this is sent to Datang, he doesn't believe that Datang will really send troops.

As for sending cattle and horses, there is no way to consider this matter, there are countless caravans between the two sides, and this year alone, nearly 100,000 cattle and horses have been sent to Datang, and whether people are willing to accept them is another matter.

Yicheng saw Jieli's gaze, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, how could such a person with such a heart succeed?

"Is the Khan planning to send Empress Xiao and my nephew to the Tang Dynasty?"

was broken by Yicheng, Jieli was not angry, but laughed and said: "Yicheng, you and I are husband and wife!" ”
