Gu Ligan is also the surname of the Tiele clan, first surrendered to the ******, and then after the fall of the ******, once served Xue Yantuo, and so on the Zhenguan period, these powerful forces were swept away, but it has nothing to do with the Gu Ligan in the north. Even after the rise of Ashina Gululu and the re-establishment of the ****** Empire, Gu Ligan only expressed submission on the one hand, but on the other hand, like the Tuns, resisted the entry of the prison state Tutun sent by the Turkic Tooth Tent. When the Khans on the eastern and western sides of the Turks were destroyed at the same time, Guli Gan and Jin Ewen Yuwu immediately rose up, recovering several pastures that were forcibly occupied by the Turks in one fell swoop, not to mention, the relationship with the Turks was also a little cold.

This indifference is not because of any utilitarian reason, but because of the correspondence between the poor He Jin and the Hui Guli Peiluo, Ewen Yuwu was a little unimpressed. In his opinion, since Hui Hui returned to Mobei, he has been working together vertically and horizontally, using both soft and hard means, if it weren't for Hui Hui not currying favor from Du Shiyi, how would he really look down on Huang Jiasi! When Huang Jiasi took in the remnants of Hui on the one hand, and sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to express his submission, he was even more scornful.

Therefore, when the envoy of Anbei Yatent City came to his territory and expressed his willingness to exchange markets, after careful consideration, he actually decided to personally take 500 personal soldiers on this trip.

Although the place where Guligan is located is slightly more south than Bargema, it is just near the current North Sea, that is, Lake Baikal in later generations, and it is bitterly cold all year round, and the days are long and the nights are short. Because it is really remote, although Zhenguan surrendered to the Tang Dynasty during the years, the number of contacts between the three surnames of Gu Ligan and Datang is very small, and this is the first time that Gu Ligan has been in contact with Datang since the four generations of Gu Ligan. When Ewen Yuwu saw the fortified city standing at the foot of Mount Udegan, as if all bathed in sunlight, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's been almost a hundred years, and the Tang people are finally back here again!"

When the Tang army was invincible during Zhenguan, it once set up the capital of Anbei here. Since then, because it is too remote, the soldiers are not adapted, and there are too many internal struggles, and the defense line has gradually shrunk, and the capital of Anbei has shrunk to the south. Ewen Yuwu even remembered that his father told him about the great power of the Tang Dynasty Khan and his soldiers and horses, as if he had seen it himself.

"I have more than a thousand soldiers and horses!"

Ewen Yuwu's eyelids jumped, but he found that the Tang envoy who accompanied him all the way was calm and relaxed, thinking that in the years after the arrival of Du Shiyi, the capital of Anbei, except for one time against the Hui Hui, the other ethnic groups were mainly appeased, and the sweepers were also those horse thieves and rogues in Mobei, so he raised his hand to signal his subordinates not to be impatient, followed by only a few personal soldiers, and galloped towards the place where the smoke and dust were rolling without fear. Suddenly, the group of people was only a thousand steps away from him, and gradually stopped, only the first dozen or so people continued to move forward.

When the two sides finally met, Ewen Yuwu saw the middle-aged man surrounded by the dark purple robe, black and majestic, as if he had been in a high position for a long time. He thought of the many civil and military forces in Anbei Yatent City that the Tang envoy had mentioned to him, and immediately asked in Tiele language, that is, Turkic language: "I am Guli Gan Jin Ewen Yuwu, I don't know which general of Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate came?" ”

"I have worked hard from afar, I am the protector of Datang Anbei, Du Shiyi!"

Hearing that the other party was also in Tiele language, and knowing that Du Shiyi actually came to greet him in person, Ewen Yuwu only felt that his heart was hot, and the pride of being valued arose. There are only 20,000 people in total, if you exclude the old and weak women and children, it is said that there are more than 10,000 people who can go into battle, but the one who can really fight is 5,000, which is far less than Fugu, Tongluo, and Gelulu, and now the huge scale of Anbei Ya Tent City is really better than him.

Without hesitation, he jumped off his horse, touched his chest with one hand and saluted deeply, but was helped up soon after. Seeing Du Shiyi holding his hand tightly and smiling and returning the salute with Tieler's etiquette, he suddenly felt that this trip was the right one, and he couldn't help but say happily: "Du Dashuai's reputation has long spread throughout Mobei, thanks to you treating me with brotherly etiquette, my Guligan people will also treat Dashuai and the people of Anbei Yatent City as brothers." ”

"Okay, I am sincere, and I should treat each other with sincerity! The first time you come to Anbei Tent City, let me be your guide! ”

After meeting the Tang envoy, Ewen Yuwu only came to Anbei Yatent City with 500 personal soldiers, and Du Shiyi certainly had to pay attention to it. This has nothing to do with the strength of the other party, and the status of Gu Ligan in the entire Mobei, but he now wants to establish a new order in the entire Mobei, and bind the various ministries to his carriage by all means, and of course he is willing to return the favor to such a lord of the clan who came to express his friendship in person when he was invited for the first time.

When he entered the city through the north gate with Evenyuwu, and then motioned for him to follow him up the high wall, he saw the lord of the bones facing the vast grassland, with amazement and envy on his face, and deep admiration, and he knew that he had achieved three points of his purpose.

When Ewen Yuwu turned his gaze from outside the city into the city and saw the neat sixty-four mile square, the shock on his face became even stronger. Don't look at Gu Ligan's Qi Jin generation after generation often instills the strength of the Tang Dynasty to their descendants, but during the Zhenguan period, when the Lingzhou Alliance, when the various ethnic groups gave Tang Taizong Li Shimin the title of Heavenly Khan, Gu Ligan was not the clan lord himself, and when the horses were tributed, it was also a messenger who went, and every qiē was passed on by word of mouth, and it was not really seen. On the contrary, in recent years, with the return of the Tang Dynasty to Mobei, all kinds of personnel struggles in the Tang Dynasty have also spread everywhere on the vast land. Even he, the patriarch in the extreme north, actually knew about Li Linfu, the crown prince Li Heng, and Yang Zhao.

And these battles, which were rumored to be false, also deepened his suspicion of Li Longji, the current Heavenly Khan of the Tang Dynasty. Why was such a Tang Emperor who appointed traitorous ministers able to repeat the great deeds of the Heavenly Khan back then and become the overlord of Mobei again? Thinking of this, Ewen Yuwu couldn't help but quietly glance at Du Shiyi, and thought of all kinds of strange rumors about this Anbei metropolitan protector.

If Du Shiyi knew what Yuwu was thinking, he would definitely feel that his propaganda offensive was powerful. Since moving his roots from Shuofang to the city of Anbei Ya, he further selected scattered Turkic orphans to be placed in the infant military camp, and when they were a little older and learned martial arts, he was incorporated into the forward battalion of Azler, as his true confidants. Those loyal young men were sent by him to all directions, on the one hand, to publicize the true and false struggles in the Tang Dynasty, and on the other hand, to package him, Du Shiyi, the capital protector of Anbei, as a famous general with all kinds of miracles.

The guests and hosts stopped at the head of the city for a long time, talked with each other cordially, and exchanged good wishes for bilateral friendship before they got off the city wall and went to the capital of Anbei. Along the way, Ewen Yuwu carefully examined the pedestrians on the street, and saw that except for the neatly dressed soldiers, most of the pedestrians were wholesale left-handed, with a distinct Tiele blood, and saw that they retreated to the side of the road to make way, and even many people took the initiative to touch their chests and salute, and there were no soldiers on the side of the road who were specially used to clear the road, and he suddenly realized Du Shiyi's high prestige and popularity in this Anbei tent city.

"Can Du Dashuai tell me, how many people are there in this Anbei Tent City?"

Gu Ligan's strength was not enough to pose a threat to Anbei Yatent City, so Du Shiyi naturally did not hesitate to unveil this majestic city to him. After he smiled, he pointed ahead with his horsewhip and said: "There are a total of sixty-four squares in Anbei Yatent City, some of which are dedicated to garrisoning soldiers, some are dedicated to cultivating fields and planting grain and vegetables, some are dedicated to herdsmen to live, and some are inhabited by craftsmen. Therefore, in the west, east and south gates, there are small gates for herdsmen to drive cattle and sheep in and out. But now, the herders have set aside fixed pastures, most of them live outside the city, and only return to settle in the city during snowy days. Craftsmen, farmers, herdsmen, soldiers and horses, a total of more than 80,000 people. ”

80,000 people!

Although the Hui Ge Lulu or the Fugu Tongluo, all the soldiers and horses in the heyday exceeded this number, not to mention the Turks who claimed to be able to gather hundreds of thousands of troops at the beginning of the order, but Ewen Yuwu will not forget that Du Shiyi served as the protector of the capital of Anbei, and this Anbei Tent City has only been many years since its establishment.

Therefore, while Ewen Yuwu was amazed, he couldn't help but be a little secretly moved by the deal proposed by the Tang envoy before. He didn't feel anything about the bitter tea at first taste, but after drinking it for more than ten days, he did feel refreshed and energetic, and more importantly, the Tang envoy claimed that Anbei Yatent City could provide them with craftsmen who were said to be able to make their lives better. Living in a bitter and cold place like Beihai, even if he is the head of a clan, his life may not even be as good as that of a commoner in Chang'an City.

When he stepped into the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei and saw those tall buildings, all kinds of rare furnishings, he finally made up his mind. Therefore, after stepping into the Zhenbei Hall, he sincerely said to Du Shiyi: "I came to see Du Dashuai in person with the Tang envoy this time, just to express my sincerity in being willing to exchange markets. ”

Since Ewen Yuwu readily agreed to such a thing, Du Shiyi was overjoyed. After talking, he had a good impression of the lord of this bold clan, and even though Guligan was only one of the most powerful Tiele tribes on the North Sea, he still agreed to his request to be a brother under the temptation of Evenyuwu. For this reason, he also generously gave away 2,000 catties of tea, but in exchange for it, it was ten divine horses from Gu Ligan. According to Ewen Yuwu, these ten divine horses are in no way inferior to the ten horses of the Zhenguan period, and Gu Ligan paid tribute to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty!
