Chapter 471: Decisive Battle at Xuanwu Gate (3)
I wish all readers and friends, Happy New Year's Day 2017!
In Dingxiang City, Lili Khan lived in a palace built in imitation of the Central Plains Imperial Palace, and the palace had a warm charcoal fire, which was much more comfortable than the tents on the grassland. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 In the winter of the eighth year of Wude, not only did it snowfall heavily in Guanzhong in the Central Plains, but the climate of the Mobei Khan Court was also extremely cold, so Jieli Khan moved his Khan Court to Dingxiang City in the name of monitoring Li Tang's movements and lived in Yang Zhengdao's Sui Palace. During the day, An stayed in the house to roast and drink, and at night slept with the Empress Dowager Xiao and An Yi Kedun. I don't know how happy the days are.
"Huh! It's so comfortable, no wonder, Han people like to live in this kind of house. Moreover, the scenery here is better than Mobei, at least the grass and trees here are green, unlike Mobei and the Yellow Sand Gobi. When Ben Khan invaded Chang'an and set foot on the Central Plains, he lived in the palaces of the Central Plains Emperor in Chang'an and Luoyang. Also, I heard that in the south of the Central Plains, the climate is even more humid. The beauties are like clouds, one by one is like a goblin, the original Sui Dynasty emperor Yang Guang was squeezed dry because he liked the stunning beauties there, and he couldn't get out of bed, and when Ben Khan got there, he must let you women see, what is the northern majesty of the prairie man, (Yang Guang does not simply like beauties and does not return to the Central Plains, mainly because he is blindly confident on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is also because he wants to ask to choose the right heir for the empire, no one expected that the situation is not as fast as changing.) Li Yuan quickly captured Guanzhong, making Chang'an and Luoyang where to mix. The south of Qilu River was occupied by the chaotic people, and the traffic was blocked, Yang Guang originally hoped to be partial to the south of the Yangtze River, and then to the Central Plains, who knew that the subordinate soldiers missed their hometown, and finally ended up being hanged. And when it comes to the mouths of these steppe Hu people, it becomes like this. Therefore, the world must not fail, and if it fails, its reputation will be ruined. "Just when the Khan had been obsessed with adultery, in the grassland of the royal court in the northern Turkic desert, some elders of the Ashina tribe gathered in the royal court.
"Everyone, now that the khan has stayed in Dingxiang and has not returned, the snow in winter has caused a lot of losses to our pastures!"
"Yes! Lord Ashina Morbi, you are the most authoritative person in our Ashina tribe to stay in the headquarters, and now our headquarters has been lost due to heavy snow, but the Khan has not returned to Mobei for a long time, what should we do? Say something! "Ashinas Mobi Secret Service naturally knows the situation of the major left-behind tribes - hum! Don't look at the pitiful words of these tribal elders, in fact, those who starved to death were all old and weak slaves, and these people, although they were all side branches of the Ashina clan and not descendants of the Ashina clan, they still couldn't starve them. However, at the beginning, Jieli Khan thought that Li Tang had completed the unification of the Central Plains and could join forces with the southern tribes of the desert to counterattack our great Turks at any time. Thinking back to the time when Jieli Khan gave himself this trick, Master Ashnabi only smiled bitterly:
"Brother Smallo!" Ashinas Mobi heard Jieli Khan call himself a brother. Immediately the heart is alert - who can be the brother of the Khan, the Turks are the same as the Central Plains Dynasty, and the brothers of the supreme ruler are lying underground!
"Great Khan! What do you command? "Ashinas's attitude satisfies the vanity of Jieli Khan. And this is also a major reason why Lord Ashina Mobi was able to occupy a high position and stand up to the Khan of the three Turkic dynasties.
"Ugh! The Smoker Brothers! You also know that now that Li Tang has unified the Central Plains, it seems that the next step may be to make a move against my Great Turk. Master Ashinasmobi nodded. Jieli Khan is not wrong, when the former Sui Dynasty, after Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian unified the Central Plains, he immediately waved his army north to attack the Turks, and the steppe nomads and the farming peoples of the Central Plains were like two tigers with their mouths open. Either the steppe nomads ruled the Central Plains farming peoples, or the Central Plains farming peoples ruled the steppe nomads. This is a truth that has remained unchanged for thousands of years from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but in the heart of Lord Ashina Smobi, these have little to do with him. Over the years, Lord Ashina Mobi has figured out a truth, that is, anyway, when the Great Turks were strong, he was always excluded, and Li Tang's Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Jiancheng had promised him that once Li Tang's army came to the grassland, he could contact those who were dissatisfied with Jieli Khan and replace Jieli Khan as the new Turkic lord. Of course, this Turkic lord was under Emperor Li Tang, but there was nothing for this? The grassland is originally dependent on the strong, and whoever is strong will listen to whomever is strong.
"Khan. Say whatever you want! Slaves obey orders. ”
"Ugh! The Ashinasmo Brothers. That's a good thing to say, why do you call yourself a slave again? Really. Alright, Ben Khan will be straight to the point. Ashinas Mobi Special Service, you know, it's about to be winter, originally last time, Ben Khan intended to take the opportunity of Li Tang to deal with Jianghuai and send troops to Guanzhong, who knew that the news was revealed, but fortunately, the wolf god blessed, that Li Tang obediently sent the supplies over, which shows that my great Turkic soldiers are strong, and Li Tang still doesn't dare to touch my Turkic soldiers. ”
"The Great Khan is everywhere leading my Great Turks!" Ashinas Mobi Spy immediately complimented Jieli Khan, and after Jieli Khan heard Ashinas Mobi Secret Service's compliment, his face exuded a red light because of excitement. However, the Khan did not hide it anymore and went straight to the point:
"Ashinas Mobi Special Service, you also know that every winter is the most difficult day for our Turkic royal court, Mobei is not better than Monan, the climate of Monan is humid, and the water and grass are abundant......"
"Great Khan, although the climate in Monan is humid, it is too close to the Central Plains, and there are still a large number of servant tribes there, if we move there to get it, I'm afraid it will cause them to panic! Also, Mobei is our ancestral home after all, and several generations of Great Khans have been sleeping here, and they can't be discarded at will! When the Khan heard Ashinas Morbi refute his opinion, he was a little unhappy, but he still patiently explained to Ashinas Morbi Agent.
"Ashinas Mobi Special Service, Ben Khan didn't say that the entire tribe would be relocated! It's just to bring our main army to Mo Nan, first, we can put pressure on Li Tang, and second, you know, Mo Nan's servant tribe has always stepped on a few boats, especially Yi Nan, the leader of the Xue Yantuo tribe, has always been ambitious, and Ben Khan heard that some people in the southern tribe of Mo are secretly colluding with Li Tang, so they must be suppressed, but it is absolutely impossible to have fewer troops, so Ben Khan wants my main Turkic force to be brought to Mo Nan, and also, in order to ensure that I can still have most of the livestock in the coming year, so the herd in the tribe, Ben Khan will also take it away to ensure that Ben Khan's plan is carried out. "Ashinas Mobi Special Service now finally understands what Willi Khan means, but Ashinas Morbi Special Service can only admit that this method of Sonas Khan is indeed a good one. But there is another thing, that is, after most of the strong men and livestock are taken away, then the people and livestock left behind will only be old, weak, sick and disabled, and the life of the left-behind people will definitely be very hard. Ashinas Morbi did not speak. The Khan probably saw the thoughts of the Ashinas Morbi agents.
"Ashinas Morbi Special Service, what are you thinking?" Ashinas Mobi suddenly sensed a hint of something wrong in the eyes of the Lili Khan - could it be that the matter of my secret collusion with Li Jiancheng was discovered by the Lili Khan, no, maybe I didn't find it, but the Lili Khan felt that he took people to Monan to enjoy the blessings, and he was afraid of the idea that he would make trouble. Forget it, first please the Khan and hold on to your own life.
"Oh! The Great Khan, this left-behind affairs is important, and it should be personally led by the people close to the Great Khan, and it is also necessary to prevent the Western Turks from coming to plunder, and the servants are not talented, and they are willing to sit in Mobei for the Great Khan and take care of the ancestral homeland. The Khan smiled in his heart - good! Just waiting for your words. Lili Khan clapped his palms and said:
"Good! Good! Good! Someone! At this moment, a man with a majestic face walked in from outside the tent.
"See the Great Khan!"
"Ahh Great Khan, who is this person!? The Khan of Gilli introduced to the Ashnasmolbi service:
"Lord Ashina Mobi Special Service, Ben Khan will introduce you, this is Ben Khan's newly appointed guard general, Kang Sumi and your Excellency will stay in Mobei together, if there is anything at that time, discuss and decide with Kang Sumi!"
"Yes!" Ashina Simobi said in his heart - this is to add another horse leash to my head. Ashina Simobi looked at the elders of the Ashina clan who were present.
"Hmmm! Elders, I already know your affairs and circumstances. I'll go to Lord Kang Sumi immediately, and let Lord Kang Sumi go to Mo Nan to find the Khan, and see if the Khan has any way to solve it! After Kang Sumi heard the words of Ashina Simobi Special Service, he also knew in his heart that now the left-behind life of the entire northern desert tribe is not easy, many people don't talk about beef and mutton, even cheese has become a luxury, most people eat wild vegetables and mushrooms on the grassland to satisfy their hunger, and some people have died because of eating poisonous wild vegetables and mushrooms. However, Kang Sumi still nodded and promised to go to Dingxiang to meet the Khan of Lingli. In the palace of the Sui King in Xiangcheng, Lili Khan was also meeting two guests from Guanzhong.
"Are you saying that you know a mountain path that can directly bypass Yan'an and other important military competition towns, and drive directly to the Baqiao area of Chang'an."
"Yes, Great Khan! This mountain trail was secretly discovered when my father was alive, when I was traveling with my eldest brother in the Guanzhong area, and if the Great Khan was willing to accept us, we were willing to tell this trail as a welcome gift to the Great Khan. When the Khan heard this, his face immediately turned into a flower.
