Chapter 272: Xue Yantuo's New Khan.
Li Chengqian left the barracks and went all the way south, and what he did in Kongduigou was also spread through various channels.
One of the most shocking was that he ordered more than 30,000 Xue Yantuo captives to freeze to death, and publicly beheaded all Xue Yantuo nobles, including Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan Yinan.
The Xue Yantuo captives ordered by Li Shimin to escort were only headed, and if it weren't for the tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses that needed to walk slowly, Wang Fangyi might have led a large army to follow Li Chengqian all the time.
Regarding Li Chengqian's killing of tens of thousands of people, in addition to Li Shimin, who was in the line, and the ministers of the Tang Dynasty were shocked by Li Chengqian's audacity and excessive murderous intentions, it was the 200,000 allied troops in Mobei who were even more shocked by this matter.
In a valley more than 100 miles north of Changze County, the camp of the 200,000 allied troops in Mobei stretched here for several miles.
However, since Xue Rengui suddenly led the army to defeat the Tongluo tribe, the Mobei tribes realized that they needed to be more united in the face of the Tang Dynasty, so all the tribes retreated to this place where Bazhuo established a camp.
Although they all retreated, they were no longer restrained by the scorching, just to let Datang see that they were a whole when negotiating with Datang.
It's just that two days ago, after the news that Li Chengqian had slaughtered the high-ranking officials and tens of thousands of troops in Xue Yantuo's tent came to pass, the situation here changed again.
Now the 200,000 troops in this valley as a whole live in a depressing atmosphere, even the Hui leader Tumidu does not dare to have too much confidence in negotiating with the Tang Dynasty, they feel that the end is coming.
On this day, the leader of the Tongluo tribe, Tong Luo Zhener, and the head of the servant bone tribe, the servant bone Nash, were invited to the big tent of the head of the Hui tribe, Tumidu.
Tumidu personally welcomed the two into the big tent and personally took out three silver ou to make milk tea, and then the three of them sat on the sheep felt and held the silver ou silently.
The servant Gu Nashi was an anxious man, raised his neck and drank the milk tea in the jar, and then said loudly: "Tumidu invited me to come and say anything you have to say, alas! I'm dying of sorrow. ”
Tu Midu showed a wry smile on his face when he heard this, the Hui clan is the strongest among the Mobei tribes, and they are the least loyal to Xue Yantuo, they have always hooked up with the Tang Dynasty, in addition to getting some benefits from the Tang Dynasty, they most hope to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to destroy Xue Yantuo so that he can establish a sweat tent in Mobei.
Therefore, when he heard that Li Chengqian was seriously ill, he stopped Bazhuo from attacking Changze County, and he was really afraid that Li Chengqian would die in Changze City, and Li Shimin was angry with him.
However, since Li Chengqian broke through Xue Yantuo's tent and the two sides began to negotiate, he obviously felt that the Tang Dynasty did not want him to successfully establish a tent in Mobei, and intended to let him unify Mobei with the power of Hui.
Now I heard that Li Chengqian directly slaughtered the entire Xue Yantuo Khan tent in Kongduigou, so that he no longer dared to have hope for the Tang Dynasty.
"Hehe, of course, there are important things to discuss when you invite you two here today." Tumidu held the silver ou in both hands and said slowly.
"What do you say?" The servant bone Nash urged again.
Tong Luo Zhier also looked at Tu Mi Du eagerly, because he knew that Hui Hui had a good relationship with Datang, and Tong Luo had just been beaten by Xue Rengui, and he really didn't want to fight with Da Tang now, so he hoped to be able to get on the line through Tu Mi Du and Datang.
"The Han people often say that the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and now that Zhenzhu Khan and his eldest son have been killed by Li Chengqian, we must immediately pull out Zhuo as the new Khan, and let the new Khan lead us to fight with the Tang Dynasty in the future." Tumidu slowly spoke his thoughts, and he said it with ease, as if this was something he had always decided on.
But it was incredible to hear it in the ears of Tong Luo Zhier and the servant Gu Nashi, and the two of them looked at Tu Midu with round eyes and wanted to see a little bit of joking from his face, but Tu Midu's face remained the same.
The servant bone Nashi couldn't understand Tumidu's thoughts, to be honest, the three of them all had the idea of replacing Yi Nan, but the servant bone department and the Tongluo department didn't have the strength of the Hui department.
Servant Gu Nashi and Tong Luo Zhier looked at Tumidu, who was most likely to replace Xue Yantuo to establish a sweat tent in Mobei, and actually proposed to establish a khan in Mobei, both of them couldn't believe their ears, and their eyes widened as Tumidu waited for his next step.
"Looking at the appearance of the Tang Dynasty, if I don't become a khan, my Mobei tribes may never have a chance to establish a khan again." Tumidu was quick to give his say.
Tong Luo Zhier nodded silently when he heard this, which can be regarded as agreeing with the statement of the degree of confusion.
Two days later, under the joint planning of the three major tribes of Mobei, the Mobei tribes reached an agreement and supported the Zhenzhu Khan's son-in-law Bazhuo to succeed him as Xue Yantuo Domi Khan.
For some reason, after Xue Yantuo established the new khan, he sent a letter of state to the warring Tang Dynasty to inform him of this.

Line in, Li Shimin's residence.
After entering the second lunar month, the weather gradually warms up, although it is still cold in the morning and evening, but people can already take off the heavy fur indoors, making people feel relaxed.
But at this time, Li Shimin in the hall and the civil and military ministers of the Tang Dynasty had already taken off their robes, but they did not feel any relief, but were very annoyed.
All this is because of Li Chengqian's recital about holding a celebration meeting in Kongduigou, which is regarded as officially making public the matter of cutting off the head of Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan Yinan in the court.
The ministers sat in their seats with their eyebrows bowed, listening to Li Shimin's whirring panting, and all sighed in their hearts and said secretly: It's not that enemies don't get together.
Who would have thought that Li Shimin's generation of male lords would be helpless by his own son, Li Chengqian is a qualified heir of the Tang Empire in any way, but he lacks the reverence that Li Shimin, the monarch's father, should have.
It was a great achievement to arrest Yi Nan, but to publicly behead Yi Nan without asking for instructions is to exceed his authority.
Ordinary people dare to overstep their authority because they are powerful enough to ignore his superiors, Li Chengqian is the crown prince, and as long as he oversteps his authority, he will be hurt by a certain emperor, so Li Chengqian is guilty of only overstepping his authority.
It is a capital crime to commit a crime in public, but the person who committed the crime is Li Chengqian, and the ministers will no longer dare to talk more in view of the fate of Xiao Yu last time, so let Li Shimin have a headache for this.
What about Li Shimin himself?
Li Shimin's eyes were red and panting like a cow at this time, staring at the door of the hall as if he was waiting for Li Chengqian to appear to him, so that he could beat Li Chengqian out of breath.
As for the latter question, it is enough to leave it to Li Chengqian to exonerate himself.
But now that Li Chengqian is thousands of miles away, Li Shimin, as the emperor, has no choice but to do something in the face of his authority being provoked, if the entire court is silent about Li Chengqian's overstepping his authority, then his imperial majesty will not be gone?
It's just that Li Shimin can't make up his mind for a while, and if it is light, it will have no effect, and if it is heavy, he is afraid that it will cause misunderstanding among the ministers, and the ministers will think that he is going to abolish the prince and attack Li Chengqianqun, and I am afraid that the court will be in chaos.
Therefore, when the ministers did not speak, he did not take the initiative to ask them, also for fear of causing Li Chengqian to blow these people.
Li Shimin himself didn't know when he started, and he had nothing to do with Li Chengqian.
Alas! Bitter!
Just when the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were embarrassed because of Li Chengqian's affairs, an internal servant reported outside: "Your Majesty's military department master Qin Shengtai has an urgent matter. ”
Li Shimin heard that his face was stiff and he didn't say a word, but Yang Hongli below was shocked, Qin Shengtai is person who used it, and he has always been steady, and now he suddenly came to meet the monarch, and he must have encountered a major military event and could not wait.
Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, he couldn't help but show an anxious look on his face, and looked up to see that Li Shimin had just wanted to go out of the hall to check.
saw Li Shimin impatiently waving his hand at him and said, "Go." ”
Hearing this, Yang Hongli hurriedly got up and hurried away, and after a while, he walked back to the hall with a document in his hand.
The eyes of Li Shimin and the ministers were attracted by the documents in his hand.
Seeing that everyone looked like this, Yang Hongli hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty Xue Yantuo has set up a new khan and sent a letter of state. ”
"Hmph"
Li Shimin snorted angrily when he heard this: "Is there still Xue Yantuo in the world?"
Before Yang Hongli could answer, Li Shimin waved his sleeves and stretched out his arm and said, "Take it to me." ”
The chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward and took Xue Yantuo's letter of state and forwarded it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin took a hurried glance, slammed it on the table in front of him, showed a cold look in his eyes, and shouted angrily: "It's really unreasonable!" ”
The other ministers didn't know what the so-called Xue Yantuo's national book was, and they were all unknown, so they looked at Yang Hongli.
Seeing this, Li Shimin shook his hand and said anxiously: "Yang Qing will tell them." ”
Hearing this, Yang Hongli hurriedly saluted Li Shimin, and then said to everyone: "The son of the Hui tribe Liyi Nan is the new Khan of Xue Yantuo. ”
When this sentence was said, the smart people in the hall understood that this was the indifference to unite to put pressure on Datang.
