According to Turkic apotheosis legends, their ancestors were descendants of abandoned babies and she-wolf Ashina. The word Ashina means pale wolf's eyes in the Old Turkic language.

Since the first generation of the Great Khan Ashina Tumen, the Turks have always used the wolf as a totem, indicating that they will not forget the kindness of their ancestors.

Under this mysterious legend, it also shows the belief and character of this people, like a wolf, who is stoic, loyal, cruel, cunning, and will not give up until the goal is achieved.

Just three generations ago, the Turkic tribes were little more than soft forging slaves. From time to time, there are two strong enemies of Tiele and Rouran, and they have to surrender to the powerful Rouran.

The emergence of Ashina Tumen has changed this situation. After enduring the humiliation for many years, he ambushed Tiele halfway when he set out to conquer Rouran, and annexed 50,000 of Tiele's troops.

Later, he married the Western Wei Dynasty, destroyed Rouran, and established a Turkic Khanate that stretched from the sea to the sea in the east and Jinshan in the west, across the Mobei Plateau.

The glory of his life has become a mysterious past that future generations will worship in the future.

……

At this time, Ashina Dubi, as a descendant of Ashina Tumen, is the new Great Khan Jieli Khan.

Of course, I will also remember that distant afternoon seventy years ago, the ancestor Ashina Tumen led the most elite warriors in the tribe, under the guidance of the wolf's head, with indomitable courage to defeat several times the strength of the enemy. It was a glorious beginning, and after that, there was a later glory.

What he inherited was the mess left by his brother Chuluo Khan. Fortunately, the Ashina tribe has never been separated, which is his only capital to turn over.

He made a pact with the tribal elders that he would fight a tough battle to save the khanate's declining state.

Seeing the truth in adversity is the resonance of people. They are surprisingly united in this matter.

After that, the selection of warriors began to be carried out in secret in the steppe.

In the summer and July, when the autumn was high and the horses were fat, Jieli Khan led the warriors to launch a surprise attack on Xue Yantuo.

Due to the suddenness of the battle and the absence of any warning before, Xue Yantuo was unprepared. Jieli Khan led the Turkic warriors to rush left and right like lightning and slaughter, until they reached the big tent of the leader of Xue Yantuo, Yi Nan.

The young Xue Yantuo leader, Yi Nan, faced such a crushing defeat, had to surrender to the wolf head of the Eastern Turks again.

Jieli Khan believes that in recent years, it was because of Xue Yantuo's rebellion that the decline of the Turkic Khan began.

He wants to turn the tide, and he wants to punish this young man who provokes trouble, and he doesn't know the height of the sky.

After the defeat of Xue Yantuo, Jieli Khan successively went to the east to fight and conquered the eastern steppe.

He was ready to go south to attack Tang, but because he was not fully prepared, he was ambushed by Li Daen, the king of Dingxiang of the Tang Dynasty.

The two sides fought a fierce battle outside the city of Dingxiang, and although Li Daen was eventually killed, the Tang Dynasty repelled the attack of Jieli Khan.

Li Yuan's report, knowing that Ashina was already fledgling, he sent the crown prince Li Jiancheng to patrol the northwest border to inspect the military defense system of the border. Strictly prevent the Turkic soldiers and horses from driving straight into the Central Plains.

For the soldiers who died in battle, on the one hand, he ordered the household department to pay generous compensation, and on the other hand, at the suggestion of the left servant Xiao Yu, he made a dojo for them to overtake the undead.

Dou Jiande has been destroyed, and the real enemy has appeared. In Li Yuan's opinion, Jieli Khan was more difficult to deal with than Dou Jiande.
