Chapter 267: Turkic Civil Strife (4)
On the secret road at the junction of Guanzhong and the Western Regions, a mysterious caravan is walking on the road, because the wind resistors are committing crimes everywhere, so many people in the upper pair say that this area is infested with demons, fortunately, the officer who took the lead secretly instructed when he set off:
"This time with the goods, everyone must be careful, at this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave everyone to the old monarch spirit talisman in the building, when the time really encountered the devil, everyone fled first, don't fight with them, it is important to save your life, the materials can be raised again if they are lost, and human life is at stake. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This talisman will bless you when you escape. The rest of the caravan cheered loudly when they got the talismans:
"Prince Rende!"
"Long live His Royal Highness the Prince, long live His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"It is worthy of being the designated successor of Taishang Laojun, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really a god in the world, great mercy and compassion!"
"Hey! Zhao Laosi, great compassion is the Buddhist Guanyin Bodhisattva, how did you get to the head of Laojun on the stage. ”
"Hey! Anyway, they are all immortals in the sky, so it doesn't matter who he is! "With the fact that the prince was entrusted by Taishang Laojun to make snow sugar and improve green salt as table salt, coupled with the fact that Huang Wenqing established a snow sugar workshop base in Shiyan in the name of Taishang Laojun, Li Jiancheng was rumored to be more and more energetic, and there were no three heads and six arms, but there were things like flying clouds and fog and calling for wind and rain. Only the officer leading the team knew in his heart that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was setting up a bureau for others. It's just because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is merciful and unwilling to sacrifice more human lives - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still a little merciful. The caravan was walking on the road, and the people in ambush of the little Khan of Tuli saw that there were a lot of things on the carriage of the caravan, and the car was very deep, and they knew that it was quite heavy at a glance.
"Report to the Khan now! said that another large flock of fat sheep had entered the pen. As soon as the little Khan heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh excitedly:
"Good thing, good thing! Hurry up and give the order to the Wind Resisters, act immediately, Ben Khan awaits their good news. "When the Wind Protector heard the order, he immediately took action. The caravan walked slowly and leisurely on the road, and a group of people were talking and laughing. Suddenly, another cloud of dust appeared in front of him:
"Look ahead, what's that?"
"It's like a sandstorm!"
"No, it's the dust from someone riding a horse."
"Are the devils coming again?"
"My lord, didn't you say that Taishang Laojun would bless us?" The leading officer answered them directly with practical actions.
"The officials have all run away, let's run too!" The caravan immediately dispersed. Walked a fine light. The Wind Protector came to the supplies dropped by the caravan:
"Humph! These cowards, it seems that the prestige of our wind resisters is not small! The captain of the Wind Protector said:
"Yes! Oh, yes! The other members of the Wind Protector present complimented one by one. At this time, one of the members of the Wind Protector suggested to the captain:
"Captain, why don't we see what's on this car?" The other wind protectors also agreed. The Captain of the Wind Protector looked at his teammates. Finally nodded. The members of the Bathers ripped open the fur straw covering the wagon, and saw that there were many large wooden boxes on it, and there was also a 'Iron General' hanging on the box.
"Hey! It doesn't have to be a treasure?! As he spoke, he smashed it with General Wang Tie. There was a thud, and the whole carriage was blown into a fireball, and the sparks ignited the hay and fur on the other carriages, and all the carriages were ignited and exploded. The frightened horses ran around, and the wind protectors on their horses fell off their horses, or they were injured, and some were trampled to death by the horses' hooves.
"Great Khan, Great Khan!" The little Khan of Tuli was in the camp waiting for the good news of the Wind Protector. At this time, his most trusted guard, Mondo, came to him in a panic:
"Sweat profusely, something big is wrong!"
"What's the matter!"
"The Wind Protector sent to rob, who knew that they fell into someone else's trap, those carriages were all loaded with explosives, and the Wind Protector was all wiped out."
"What! Bastard! Is that eldest grandson Mingyu still there? Walk! Go with Ben Khan to him. "The little Khan of Tuli took Mondo to the camp where the eldest grandson Mingyu lived:
"Is that eldest grandson Mingyu still there?"
"Great Khan, inside!" The little Khan of Tuli opened the curtain of the tent with his saber:
"Changsun Mingyu, you bastard......" Tuli Little Khan's words suddenly stopped, and Tuli Little Khan saw that Changsun Mingyu was dead, and Changsun Mingyu cut his throat with his own saber. The blood flowed all over the ground and had been congealed for a long time.
"Bastard! Who is guarding this man? "The Turkic soldiers of the chief guard, Sun Mingyu, stepped forward.
"How do you guard it, people have been dead for a long time." As he spoke, he directly hacked two Turkic soldiers to death with his saber.
"Report! Khan! The Mobei Khanting said that we had colluded with Li Tang to rebel against the Turks, and had ordered a multi-way army to encircle and suppress us, and the vanguard was only less than twenty miles away from our camp, and the avant-garde battalion had been completely wiped out. Moreover, the Khitan, Jian, Xue Yantuo, Xi, Xi and other slave tribes to which we belonged heard that the royal court of Mobei Khan had conquered us, and they also began to rebel under the pretext of this, and now we and each of them are under attack. Let the Khan decide. As soon as the little Khan heard the news, the strength in his body seemed to be drained.
"Come on, lead the horse, let's run south, Ben Khan and Li Tang's His Royal Highness King of Qin, Li Shimin, have always been friends, maybe, we still have a way to live where we go." After the Lili Khan pacified the little Khan of Tuli, he held a banquet in the Khan's court to celebrate the achievements of his subordinates.
"Come, come, come! These wines are still the imperial wine that Yang Guang, the Khan of Tian, rewarded to the Turkic Luo Khan, but it is the best wine in the Khan's court, if it weren't for the fact that we put down the rebellion, the Khan would not dare to take it out! Come on, let's drink together! Cheers! The Khan drank the wine in front of him first, and the others present drank with him.
"Great Khan! Now that the rebellion has been put down, in terms of credit, Ashinasmo has a lot of credit for the special service. I don't know if it's ...... "It's Ashina Duozhe who speaks, and he is also a member of the clan of Lili Khan, the elder of the Ashina clan, relatively speaking, Ashina Duozhe has a closer relationship with Ashina Simo. The Khan looked at the two men. 'Humph! Ben Khan managed to drive away a wolf, so he would not have raised another tiger. However, the elder's face still has to be given. ’
"Hmmm! Elder Dozhe is right. Ashnasmo came forward to listen to the rewards. ”
"The minion Ashinasmo is here!"
"Lord Ashnasmo Jiabi Special Service, this time you bow to Qiwei, Ben Khan rewarded you with 1,000 cattle and 10,000 sheep, are you satisfied?" As soon as Ashnasmo heard the words of the Ori Khan, he understood in his heart that land and the tooth tent were an unfulfilled dream, but Ashnasmo did not yet have the ability and strength to resist the Zari Khan. Only to kneel to the Khan of Lingli:
"Minion Shane!" Subsequently, the Khan summoned Yang Zhengdao, the king of Sui:
"Where is Yang Zhengdao, King of Sui?" When Yang Zhengdao heard Lingli Khan shouting to himself again, he immediately put down the wine bowl and knelt in front of Lingli Khan:
"Venerable Khan, what do you command?" Lili Khan hugged the Empress Dowager Xiao Kedun into his arms with his hand, and kept groping on the Empress Dowager Xiao, and the Empress Dowager Xiao was touched by the Lili Khan in this public, and her face was shy like an apple:
"Your grandmother is now the Khan of Ben Khan, you are now like the grandson of Ben Khan, according to the rules of our Turks, the descendants of the Khan can have fiefdoms, but you are the descendants of the Yang family after all, this Khan also received the favor of your grandfather Yang Guang, so Ben Khan will give you the territory of the little Turki Khan of Monanyuan, you can put a hundred officials there, from the Sui system, the officials and people of the Central Plains in our eastern Turkic territory are all allocated to you to be governed by the Sui King Yang Zhengdao, you can restore the "Great Sui" regime, However, remember that there must be no mistake in paying tribute to Ben Khan every year. As soon as Yang Zhengdao heard that the Lili Khan allowed him to restore the Great Sui, although it was much smaller than the previous regime in the Central Plains, it was still the Great Sui regime, and in Yang Zhengdao's heart, he could be regarded as restoring his ancestral business, and immediately put on a servile appearance:
"Honorable grandfather, grandson, thank you for your kindness!" Ashinasmo immediately understood the intention of the Khan, and on the one hand, he blocked the hope of the Turkic Inner Turks for the original territory of the Turkic Little Khan, and on the other hand, he supported Yang Zhengdao as a bridgehead for attacking the Central Plains in the future, and if the Central Plains were unified, the first to confront the Central Plains regime would be the Han people led by Yang Zhengdao - the poisonous Han controlled by Han.
Under the protection of his cronies, the Tuli Khan ran all the way to the checkpoint of Li Tang's territory in Guanzhong, and shouted to the guards guarding the pass:
"I am the Turkic little Khan of Turks, I ask to meet your emperor, please open the door!" After Li Yuan heard that the little Turki Khan was seeking a meeting outside the customs and the internal fighting in the Turkic steppe, he immediately brought Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to discuss with the hundred officials of the imperial court:
"Completed, O people! And the ministers, you said that this little Turki Khan came to defect to our court, should we accept it? Li Jiancheng first objected:
"Father, their Turkic civil strife is none of our business, and now we have a suzerainty relationship with the Turks, if we take in the little Turki Khan, I am afraid it will cause the dissatisfaction of the Turki Khan. So Erchen thinks it's better for us to ignore it. Li Shimin, the king of Qin, retorted:
"Father, the emperor, the sons thought that the ancient monarchs worked hard for the people, and the fortunes of the country were long; Enslave others for their own enjoyment, and the country will die, and now the Turkic civil strife is caused by the khan's failure to perform the throne. The Turki Khan was his closest relative, and he could not protect himself and came here. Although Yidi is weak, the border is safe. But looking at his defeat, we can't help but be vigilant, worrying that if we do something wrong, it will also cause a catastrophe. Moreover, in the future, our relations with the Turks will break down sooner or later, according to Erchen, when our army unifies the Central Plains and moves to the steppe, it is just right to use the Turks' connections to call on his old troops to be used by us. ”
"Father, the son thinks that Tuli is not kind, I heard that the failure of Tuli is because he treats his subordinates too harshly on weekdays, so he was exploited by the Khan of Tuli, so the son thinks that it is better for us not to accept it!" Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are at loggerheads, and there are supporters behind both sides, and no one in the court can convince anyone. In the end, Li Yuan made a final decision:
"I feel that the people of the world are polite, and they sent an order to the border generals, let the little Khan of Tuli enter the customs, and ordered the border officials to escort him into Chang'an to meet him."
