Just when the Khan of Lingli obtained the two Guanzhong Neiying, Kang Sumi also came to the Sui palace in Dingxiangcheng. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Kang Sumi, you're here."

"Great Khan!" Likhan nodded.

"Kang Sumi, how is the situation over there in Mobei?"

"What a clever plan the Great Khan! First of all, he took the opportunity to transfer all the strong men who stayed in the Turkic headquarters, and most of the livestock were also taken away, preserving most of the population and livestock, and now the entire Mobei is covered in a blank of snow. The elders of the Ashina tribe who had secretly opposed the khan complained bitterly, but now everyone is spreading the word that there is food to eat with the khan, and there is no good life for the khan. Now that the old and immortal diehards of the Turkic Khan Court have suffered enough, there are fewer and fewer people who follow those old immortals. After listening to Kang Sumi's words, Lili Khan smiled:

"Humph! These old immortals, if it weren't for the sake of the surname Ashina, Ben Khan would have killed them a long time ago. "At the beginning, the Lili Khan failed to calculate Li Tang several times, and the entire Turkic Khan court was panicked, and some people secretly proposed that they hoped to unite with the Western Turks, and promised the Western Turks some more conditions to reunite, and some people even proposed that the Ashina Simobi special service come forward to convene a meeting of elders to abolish the Lingli Khan, and Ashina Simobi Te Qin ascended the throne as the Khan, of course, the people who made these suggestions at the beginning have now been burned at the stake by the Shunli Khan to the previous Khans to apologize.

"It's okay now, let them taste the bitterness first. It's better to starve a few people to death, and the Ben Khan of the province will have to watch out for them when the time comes, eh! Kang Sumi, you seem to have something to say! ”

"Yes, Khan, there is one more thing that my subordinates don't know, and I want to ask Khan?" Likhan nodded:

"Kang Sumi, say it!"

"Great Khan, since our Turks split into the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks, the Western Turks have experienced the Datou Khan, and now the Khan of the Shooting Khan, the Khan of the Shooting Khan is a steppe hero! Since Ashina led the people to leave the Turks, after fleeing to the Western Regions, he has been fighting in the Western Regions, although he has been expanding the territory, but the effect is not great, first the head was defeated by Tuyuhun, Duliu Khan took revenge, and Tuyuhun fought a defeat and was injured, knowing that after the Khan took the throne, he took the original Western Turkic land as the base, expanded the land to the Altai Mountains in the east, and reached the Caspian Sea in the west, and built a tooth tent in the Sanmi Mountain north of Qiuzi, and the countries west of Yumen have called their vassals. But I don't know why, the Khan of Shooting Kui didn't take advantage of the time when we transferred the main iron cavalry to the land of Monan, and pressed us! The Khan smiled and said:

"Kang Sumi! First of all, the countries of the Western Regions are not really subservient to the Khan of the Shooting Khan, you must know that the Gaochang King Lu Boya, his ambition is not small, in the former Sui period, he is a wolf who is good at hiding himself, in ordinary times, like a fox, but when the time comes, he will show his teeth and show his grandeur, and he has a lot of prestige among the countries of the Western Regions. It is Ben Khan, Ko Boya has sent envoys to come, but Ben Khan did not agree to Ko Boya, and later, the Khan defeated Tuyuhun and came to the city of Gaochang, Ko Boya was forced to submit to the Western Turks, but often secretly connected the countries of the Western Regions, ready to oppose the Western Turks at any time. Also, do you remember? How did the Tiele tribe come to our Eastern Turks in the first place? ”

"Khan, the minions still remember, it was the Khan of the Shooting Kui and the Tiele tribe who fought, the leader of the Tiele tribe Yi lost the bowl was killed, and the Sun Yinan, the leader of the Yi lost bowl, led the 70,000 troops to return to the Orkhon River valley and fell under the command of the Khan."

"Hmmm! Yes, I got the news from the surrendered Tiele tribes that the Khan suffered a lot of losses because of the fight with the Tiele tribe! Therefore, they have never dared to secretly win over our tribal herdsmen as before. In addition, our main force in Monan, as well as the servant tribes attached to our eastern Turks, in terms of strength, the western Turks did not dare to do anything to us, the most critical point, Ben Khan received a secret report, and the Khan of Shekui had a dispute with his younger brother Tongye Hu, I am afraid that the Western Turks will have a dispute again. Therefore, Ben Khan believed that the Western Turks would never advance to the east. ”

"The Great Khan is thoughtful!" After asking about the situation in Mobei again, the Khan seemed to remember something, and immediately said to Kang Sumi:

"Kang Sumi! You've come just in time! Ben Khan just has an errand he wants you to do! ”

"Great Khan, please command!"

"Hmmm! Kang Sumi, Mobei, don't go back for the time being, two people came to Guanzhong, saying that they were the two sons of Liu Wenjing, the original Li Tang Chongchen, Liu Shuyi and Liu Shuyi. According to Liu Shuyi and Liu Shuyi, when the two of them were playing in Guanzhong, they used to play in the border and surveyed an ancient road, which can bypass Yan'an and other important military towns in the north of Guanzhong, and directly insert it into the Chang'an Baqiao, and the soldiers will come under the city of Chang'an. Than took a team of personal soldiers and surveyed with Liu Shuyi and Liu Shuyi. In addition, Ben Khan has already sent a powerful person to Chang'an once, and last time, Li Yuan promised to give Ben Khan provisions, and Ben Khan was going to urge. Kang Sumi nodded:

"Great Khan, I see." The envoy of the Khan of Lili came to Chang'an and met Li Yuan:

"Minister! The highest eagle flying in the sky, the descendant of the Celestial Wolf God, the great Khan of the Great Turks, and the envoy under the command of the Lili Khan, see His Majesty Emperor Li Tang. Li Yuan squinted his eyes on the dragon throne.

"Ahh The envoy has worked hard all the way, waning moon, give the envoy a seat! Wanyue agreed, beckoning the eunuch beside her to move a chair for the Eastern Turkic envoy. After the Eastern Turkic envoys sat down, they handed over to Li Yuan a letter written by the Lili Khan to Li Yuan:

"Your Majesty, this envoy came to this imperial city and saw that His Majesty was dressed in plain clothes, and there were white sails and white lanterns hanging in this palace, and the palace ladies were also dressed in plain clothes, did something happen?" When Li Yuan heard the Eastern Turkic envoy ask, he felt sad again:

"Don't hide it from the envoy, my princess Pingyang has gone a few days ago because of the injuries she suffered on the battlefield. Uh-huh! Li Yuan wept as he spoke, and the Eastern Turkic envoy did not feel anything wrong, but comforted Li Yuan:

"Please mourn Your Majesty, the deeds of Princess Pingyang, that is, our Khan has also heard of it in the Mobei area, and the Khan also instructed the envoy to let the envoy come to Chang'an and go to visit, but now I am afraid that the Khan's entrustment will not be completed. May Princess Binh Duong rest in heaven! The Eastern Turkic envoy deliberately pretended to be sad as he spoke, sighed, and continued to cut to the chase:

"Your Majesty! There is a saying among you that people die like a lamp goes out, please don't take it too seriously, now we get to the point, Your Majesty had an appointment with our noble Khan! It is said that once the Jianghuai is pacified, a large number of supplies will be given to us Now, our khan has been waiting for His Majesty to fulfill his promise in the Dingxiang area for a long time, but I don't know when His Majesty will travel to our great Turkic promise? As soon as he heard the words of the Eastern Turkic envoy, Li Yuan's face slowly became gloomy. Seeing the materials written on the letter by the Khan, Li Yuan was even more furious in his heart - Li Yuan's nephew, for his uncle heard that his nephew had broken through Jianghuai, and the auxiliary prince was awarded the head, so he was very happy for his uncle, and sent envoys to congratulate him today. In addition, the nephew had an appointment with Uncle Wei, because you Li Tang looked around as a strong enemy, so that I owed the Great Turkic tribute for many years, you said that once the situation is stable, the tribute will be made up, and now, the nephew has unified the Central Plains, you have a sentence, people have no faith and do not stand in front of others, so, I hope that the nephew will quickly make up for the arrears of materials, and there is no copper and iron in the past, so this time I hope to be able to send three thousand catties of high-quality copper and iron to my Great Turk to fund the military. And in the future, there will be no more copper and iron control in the materials of the mutual market, and I am afraid that my nephew will not have enough chariots and horses, and Ben Khan has led a large number of soldiers and horses of his clan to gather in the Dingxiang area, once there is something, you can go south, please rest assured that my nephew. Greetings from Uncle Lili Khan.

Li Yuan looked at this, while suppressing the anger in his heart, at the beginning, in order to buy time for his dynasty, Li Yuan was humble to the Turks, but in Li Yuan's heart, he always felt that it was too cheap for him to do this. A man who is almost sixty years old calls himself a nephew to a person who is one or twenty years younger than himself, Li Yuan has always thought that this is a great shame, and in addition, the rise of the military exploits of the Guanlong clan is not only the result of the hard work of the Central Plains Dynasty, but also stained with the blood of the grassland people. Don't say that when Yuwentai, the Taizu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was in the Northern Wei Dynasty, in order to fight against Gao Huan, he served as the assassin of Xiazhou, and in order to obtain a broader base, Yuwentai fought many battles with the then grassland overlord Rouran State. Subsequently, in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, although the Northern Qi and the Northern Zhou have always maintained friendly relations with the grassland peoples, however, there are also conflicts from time to time, and later after the Northern Zhou unified the north, Yuwen Yong did not lead the army to attack the Turks, Yang Jian replaced the Sui, in order to ensure the tranquility of the border passes, but also sent Yang Guang as the general manager of the marching road to attack the Turks in the north. And in these wars, Li Yuan's ancestors and cousins were also involved. 'Humph! This Turkic barbarian, what do I want to deal with you? I still want that benefit. However, Li Yuan did not attack on the spot, and still said to the Eastern Turkic envoy with a smile on his face:

"Please go back to the embassy to rest first, I will let people entertain the envoy well." Wanyue, you send the envoy out, notify the Ministry of Rites, and there must be no mistake in entertaining the good students. After the waning moon took the envoy of the Eastern Turkic Khan out, Li Yuan casually threw the inkstone on the table to the ground and shattered it.

"Bastard, Ashina, you steppe wolf cub who can never be fed, I will never let you get your wish, come and pass on the three highnesses of the prince, the king of Qin, and the king of Qi to enter the palace quickly."
