Chapter 62: Xue Yantuo's Internal Worries
Tizhen Daguan looked disdainful.
How could he be afraid of this brave and unscrupulous, perverse and violent reckless man?
In comparison, although there is a word "reckless" in the name of the eldest prince, he is bold and straightforward, like the sun shining in all directions, and like a spring breeze, he is intoxicating, no matter his character or personality, he can throw out more than a dozen mountains!
Reckless is the next male lord on the grassland......
Expelled Bazhuo, Yi Nan Khan scolded angrily: "This shaft! β
He returned to his seat and sat down, and then he said to Qi Bi He Li: "My brother, forgive you rude and stupid nephew, this child has been spoiled by me!" For the suggestion I just made, you might as well think about it more, and when the Tang Emperor agrees to make peace, I will be the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, and Xue Yantuo and the two most powerful countries in the world will unite and prosper for thousands of years. And you will become the master of the Xueyantuo Khanate, inherit my mantle, and make my Tiele tribes become one, and become the overlord of the steppe forever! β
Why is he so obsessed with winning over Khibi, and even does not hesitate to throw the position of Khan as a condition?
The most important reason lies in the power of the Khambe.
In the first year of the Great Cause of the Sui Dynasty, because the Western Turks raised troops to attack the Tiele tribes, taxed their goods heavily, and killed hundreds of their chiefs, the Tiele tribes were forced to resist the tyranny of the Western Turks.
According to the legal system, the leader of the Khibi tribe, Chebi Geleng, was the orthodox Khan who was supported by the Tiele tribes, but later the power of the Xue Yantuo tribe gradually became stronger, becoming the strongest one among the Tiele tribes, and subjugating the rest of the tribes, which achieved the great cause of the Xue Yantuo Khanate and became the overlord of the Tiele tribes.
However, even so, the Khibi tribe was also the strongest one among the Tiele tribes except for Xue Yantuo, and the people of the Khambi tribe were fierce and loyal, and were deeply appreciated by the Yinan Khan, so he would rather hand over the throat lock key of the desert north such as Wuchuan Town to the Khama Kler, rather than hand it over to his brothers and nephews who were also descendants of the Liyu clan.
As for what he said about passing the throne of Khan to Khibi?
That's, of course......
The Khan position is the foundation of the family inheritance, as a descendant of the Lizha clan, how can he give up the Khan position?
However, as a descendant of Yi Bezhen Mohe Khan Qibi Geleng, he has the qualifications to inherit Tiele Khan above the legal system, and he does not expect Qibi He Li to believe his words to give up the Khan's throne, as long as Qi He Li has the ambition to restore the glory of his ancestors.
If he has ambitions, he will return to the Xueyantuo Khanate with the Qibi tribe under his command who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and merge with the Qibi Kele to seek the throne.
He can wait for the opportunity to devour the whale of the Qi Qi Department and transform it into Xue Yantuo's most loyal power.
After all, the Hui Hui Department that occupied Shan Yuting became more and more powerful under the leadership of Tu Midu, and it had gradually endangered Xue Yantuo's position.
What the Yi Nan Khan thinks in his heart, how can he not know what the power of Qi Bi is?
Knowing that as long as he has the ambition to covet the Khan position in his heart, it is very likely that he will swallow the bait of the Yinan Khan.
However, he had no such ambition at all......
Similar to Ashina Simo, he has enjoyed the high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty over the years, luxury and prosperity, and has already polished the blood of the year, just thinking about returning to Chang'an to live in his own mansion, enjoying the mellow beauty and the flattery of hundreds of officials, where is he willing to stay in the desolate and difficult Mobei in the ice and snow, to compete for those ethereal honors?
Therefore, He Li shook his head again and again, and warned the Yinan Khan: "The Great Khan sent the second prince to lead the army south, intending to attack Dingxiang, how can the Tang Dynasty sit idly by?" Although the Great Khan had warned the second prince not to use his sword and soldiers, the two armies faced each other, and at any time there could be a scuffle due to misunderstanding. Once the second prince provoked the Tang army and started a war with the Tang army, not only would the Great Khan completely break off the idea of peace with the Tang Dynasty, but I am afraid that it would attract the retaliation of the Tang Dynasty, which would be unfavorable to the Great Khan's rule in the Desert Arctic. β
This is an old man's words, that is, for the good of the male khan, and he does not want to see the military disaster again.
However, Yinan Khan was extremely confident in his prestige, and even more thought that he was in control of the current situation, and said disapprovingly: "My brother Qibi, you are too worried. Although he was unruly, he did not dare to disobey my orders, and he would never take the initiative to attack the Tang army. And the center of the Tang Dynasty at the moment is all in Liaodong, even if we attack the Eastern Turks and seize the city of Eilechuan and Dingxiang, we will definitely swallow our anger and dare not start a war with me. You just wait for the good news to come, and the Eilechuan will definitely return to the hands of my Tiele tribe!"
Tizhen Daguan also said: "Since ancient times, the Eilechuan has been a grassland for the Wuhu people to graze horses and sheep, and it was lost in the hands of the Turks, and if it can be recovered now, the prestige of Xue Yantuo will surely shake the grassland, and all those who refuse to surrender will be dormant under the command of the Great Khan!" β
He Li sneered and said no more.
How naΓ―ve......
Although the Tang Dynasty used the strength of the whole country to seek the eastward expedition to Goguryeo, those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals who guarded the northern frontier could really watch Xue Yantuo snatch the Ele River and Dingxiang City from them, and drive all the Turks to the south of the Great Wall without indifference?
Don't talk nonsense!
Being in the Tang Dynasty, he knows too well what kind of virtue the generals of the Tang Dynasty are, which one of them didn't have red eyes when he saw Hu Ren, and he was thinking about cutting off a few heads to increase his title and official position? The so-called generals are outside, the king's orders are not affected, and the Tang Emperor's mind is on the Eastern Expedition, but the garrison in the northern Xinjiang will not think so, Xue Yantuo dares to arrogantly coerce the Tang border, and the Tang Army will definitely not sit still.
Maybe they wouldn't dare to blatantly start a war with Xue Yantuo, but it is entirely possible to engage in a conspiracy and tricks, let you Xue Yantuo take the first move, and create the illusion that they have to fight for passive defense......
Once Dadu sets up that fool's plan and the two countries go to war, do you still expect to make peace with the Tang Dynasty and seek to conquer the river?
Hehe, let's cry......
*****
The empty moraine, the wind and snow are raging.
If it is in summer, the yellow sand is endless, the desolate Gobi dry river is uninhabited, and every time there is a strong wind, the sand and dust will fly to cover the sky and the sun, and it is extremely difficult for the army to pass through.
But in this winter, although the temperature is extremely low and there is no supply, the snow and ice become abundant water, making it very easy for the army to pass through.
On a dry river, 20,000 horsemen dismounted and camped, and their tents were erected in the river below the embankment.
These rivers are very rare in the moraine, in the summer when the rain falls, the snow melts, and the rivers flow in the river, and in the winter the river dries up, making the river low, and the embankment blocks the cold wind, becoming a natural shelter.
The Tang army chased the army of Qibi He Li all the way to this point, and was already sleepy and short of horses, so they camped here, fed the war horses with forage, lit a fire to make rice, melted snow water and boiled it for drinking, and settled here tonight.
Even though the soldiers are fast and want to go straight to the Yu Overseer Mountain, they can't even sleep without sleeping......
Inside one of the largest tents.
Fang Jun sat by the fire, took a few sips of a cup of hot water, the cold on his body gradually faded, the door curtain opened, and Xue Rengui strode in.
He personally got up and put some tea leaves in the cup for Xue Rengui, poured hot water, handed it over and asked, "How is the situation in the army?" β
Xue Rengui hurriedly thanked him, turned out the tea, and replied: "The situation is fine." Because everyone wore cotton clothes, it was very effective against the cold, but there was some frostbite on the hands and feet, but the frostbite medicine prepared in advance came in handy, and it was not a big problem. The morale of the soldiers is booming, after all, such as this deep moraine, straight to the Yu Du Army Mountain, is a rare opportunity in a hundred years, once it is successful, it is a famous meritorious service through the ages, the whole army from top to bottom, everyone's merits are indispensable, add officials to the knighthood, seal the wife and the shadow, which is not desperate? β
Fang Jun bowed slightly.
The Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to military merits, as a soldier, it is everyone's ideal to chase the north and sweep away the Hu people, and Feng Wolf Juxu and Le Shi Yanran are the supreme meritorious glory of the Han Erlang since ancient times.
At present, more than 1,000 miles out of Baidao in the north, and in ten days and a half months, you can reach Zhao Xincheng at the southern foot of Yanran Mountain.
If you have such a victory in your life, you can lie on the credit book and eat the old book.
Naturally, they are competing for the first, and no one is willing to be left behind.
"How's Xiao Siye doing?"
After taking a sip of hot water, baking the fire, and his body was warm, Fang Jun asked with slightly squinted eyes.
Xue Rengui said: "It's still obedient, probably resigned to fate, after all, the matter has come to this point, only if we drive straight into the mountain of Yu Overseer, can we make immortal military exploits and clear him of the death penalty of falsely preaching the holy decree, otherwise the world is so big, where is his place to live?" There is only one way to go to the dark. β
Fang Jun put the cup on the table in front of him, got up and walked to the map hanging on the wall, and looked at the map with his hands.
After a long time, Fang Cai said softly: "As a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, it is an unforgivable crime to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason. How can the merits we have earned by climbing ice and snow and treating death as if we were returning home be given to such shameless people? β
