Chapter 139: Internal Friction Continues, Turkic Unification
First there was a war between the Eastern and Western Turks, then a war between the Three Kingdoms of Goguryeo, followed by a war within the Western Turks.
As their "best" neighbor, Datang has always adhered to the principle of non-interference and non-interference, and laughed at the other party's internal friction.
According to incomplete statistics, in two years, the Turkic population has been sharply reduced by as much as 300,000, and all of them are young and strong laborers.
On the Goguryeo side, the war never stopped for a moment, and the three sides won and lost each other, and it was this feeling that they were close to victory that made them unconsciously increase their strength again.
The Fang brothers were born out of thin air, one was named Fang Youshi, and the other was named Fang Ziyi. He has been giving advice to Goguryeo to ensure that it will not be completely defeated by the two countries, and at the same time, he will also send some troops to Silla Baekje from time to time to let them continue to encroach.
The lord of Goryeo, King Rongliu, Gao Jianwu, liked the Fang brothers very much, and even planned to support them to fight against the growing strength, the two great heroes of Goguryeo's resistance to the Sui, Yuangai Suwen and Eulji Wende!
And Silla's "national immortal" Jin Gengxin led the alliance of the two countries to fight with the Fang brothers who had just gained the right to lead the troops.
Inside Goguryeo, it was not calm either. Yuangai Suwen and Yizhi Wende have played many times, saying that there must be something strange in this matter, and it is better to give up the vein for the time being, so as not to fall into the plan of others.
Gao Jianwu didn't listen or watch, insisted on going his own way, Yizhi Wende threw the cup and left, vowing not to serve Gao Jianwu in the future.
Gao Jianwu was furious, scolded him for his wolf ambitions, and even sent someone to arrest Eulji Moondeok's family and not allow the other party to take refuge in Silla and Baekje.
Yuangai Suwen thought of another way, and after asking Gao Jianwu, he led an army of 30,000 to support Fang Zi and one or two.
Seeing this situation, Zi and You also understood that it was almost time to retreat, and it would be a big trouble if they didn't retreat.
After giving the order for the last general attack, the "great loyal ministers" in the hearts of these two Gao Jianwu disappeared in an instant.
Before leaving, Zi also deliberately designed their handsome tent into the appearance of being looted, and at the same time used the corpses of two Goguryeo people to dress up like them with simple makeup.
Zihe You, disguised as a small soldier, completely disappeared the day before Yuangai Suwen arrived.
After Gao Jianwu got the news, he angrily denounced Silla Baekje for being ruthless, and said angrily, "God is jealous of talents!" ”
It's obviously two rising generals, but it's a pity.
Yuangai Suwen also personally set up graves for the two, and he admired them a lot.
The talents that appeared in the war were promoted faster than anyone could have imagined. In a month, Zihe You's battlefield became famous, a hundred enemies, and one made suggestions, which instantly attracted Gao Jianwu's attention.
Originally, the most suitable candidate was Yuangai Suwen, but unfortunately Gao Jianwu didn't want his family to dominate, otherwise this war would have ended long ago.
So they did the right thing at the right time.
Soon after the two returned to Tang, the war that had lasted for a year in Goguryeo finally came to an end.
Silla's "national immortal" Kim Geng-shin was cut off by Yuangai Suwen, and Silla was eager to eat his flesh and blood, but unfortunately, Baekje and Silla had already drained their bodies, and the gains outweighed the losses if they continued to fight.
The glazed mine was officially owned by Goguryeo, but when they found that, except for the surface layer, the lower down the glaze, the less glazed it was, and there was not even a trace of glaze at the bottom.
According to preliminary estimates, the three sides have invested as many as 300,000 troops, and the loss is more than 200,000 people, which is already a very good ending.
And after this incident, the tripartite relationship has been declining.
Baekje and Silla became even more hostile to Goguryeo, and sooner or later war would resume.
Gao Jianwu got the news and jumped like thunder in the royal city, "You mean, the glazed mine has been dug up?" ”
"Yes, my king, there are obvious traces of excavation here!"
yes, digging, how can I bury you in it if you don't dig it up?
But Gao Jianwu didn't think so, the feeling he gave him before was extremely real, and now he didn't think that this matter was fake, but felt that someone else should have touched his things.
There are three objects of suspicion: first, Silla; 2. Baekje; Three, Yuan Gai Suwen!
As soon as he thought of this, Gao Jianwu's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, "Yuangai Suwen, your power is really too great!" ”
Under one person, above 10,000 people, coupled with the mastery of Goguryeo's military power, even if Gao Jianwu believes that he will not touch the glass mine, he will find a way to target him, and it is best to take this guy's head.
Dead people are the most reassuring.
In the spring of the fifth year of Zhenguan calendar, the civil strife in the Western Turks subsided, and Mo He led the people to join the Tang Dynasty.
The Khan of the Wild Leaf Protector has just sat on the throne that belongs to him, the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan, and has raised an army!
100,000 troops, rushing to attack the Western Turks, all the tribes of the Western Turks, those who do not surrender will be killed!
The Khan who had just ascended to the throne of the Khan was furious, and the quasi-Ashina Ni Mo He was set up as a general, pouring out 200,000 young men from various tribes of the Western Turks, and fought a battle with the Eastern Turk Khan Jieli at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains.
Jieli Khan rebelled against several small and medium-sized tribes in advance, leading to a mutiny in the Western Turkic army, and the number of people was sharply reduced from 200,000 to 150,000.
Not only that, at the suggestion of Princess Yicheng, Xu Ashina held a high position, and sent tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses to Ashina's tribe.
Defeated in three battles, Ashina surrendered.
Carrying a saber in his hand, he led his father to command 3,000 horsemen of Yehu Khan's cronies to fight with Jieli Khan in a final fight.
At this point, the Turks were reunited, and after the war, Jieli found that he now had no ability to attack the Tang Dynasty at all.
The young and strong of all ethnic groups returned and remained in the hands of Jieli, but there were no more than 10,000 people.
Later, Princess Yicheng sent someone to the Tang Dynasty, stating that Tana, who was used by the Western Turks to make peace, was not a Turkic Khan woman, and was willing to send a daughter to the Tang Dynasty again.
After Li Shimin considered it, he agreed to this condition, but he was elected with his relatives, and Li Fangchen was replaced by Li Chengqian.
In this regard, Li Chengqian also went to the West Palace to discuss countermeasures with Li Fangchen.
Li Fangchen's suggestion is very simple, "If you can see it, accept it, and if you don't like it, throw it to the queen mother." ”
As for Tana, the position of the concubine of the King of Qin has not changed, because Mo He defected to the Tang Dynasty, bringing more than 20,000 tribes and 5,000 horses. Li Shimin personally sealed the imperial seal, and Mo Helu was the founding county marquis of the Tang Dynasty, and the fief was on the border between the two countries.
The ministers gathered in one place, and after a simple calculation, they came to a startling conclusion.
Li Fangchen's two strategies greatly damaged the vitality of the Turks, and the same was true of Goguryeo.
However, Datang has been developing, if it waits until five years later, I am afraid that Datang can easily send 100,000 soldiers and horses to counterattack the Turks.
What's more, the record of the Qin King's plan will be recorded for the record, and left it to future generations of literati to study and understand, this book is called "Qin Wangce"!
King Qin, as the protagonist, is still shrinking in his West Palace, and he doesn't know what to plan.
Occasionally, I can see each other, and it is also in Li Shimin's Heart Cultivation Palace, holding Tana, the side concubine of King Qin, and a white wolf behind him.
After Zi Heyou returned, he was summoned by Li Fangchen and praised him, and then directly pushed it to Li Shimin.
In the future, if the Tang Dynasty wants to raise troops to punish Goguryeo, these two people will be the vanguard!
