Chapter 1: The White-Eyed Wolf
Approaching June, summer is coming as scheduled, and the people of Chang'an have changed into summer clothes, but this year's summer clothes are very different from previous years, because Chang'an has the Lin family clothing workshop, last year at the beginning of the establishment of this clothing workshop, it was close to autumn, they did not catch up with the production of summer clothes, this year... It is the first time that the Lin family clothing workshop has launched summer clothes, and the summer clothes they have launched are very different from previous years.
There are no long sleeves, just a short point, most of the arms are exposed, the clothing is also thinner, and it is very close to wear, but there are fewer people wearing this new summer dress, and everyone has not adapted to this new thing, most of them maintain an attitude of watching, especially women, and will not choose this kind of clothing, which is really undignified.
In this scorching summer season, it is easier to sweat without wearing the summer clothes of the Lin family, even if you ride a fast horse and there is a breeze blowing, you will still inevitably sweat.
An iron horse galloped from outside the city of Chang'an, even if the small soldier on the horse was blown by the wind all over his body, he still shed a stinky sweat, the iron horse did not arrive at the Mingde Gate, the little soldier raised the red feather in his hand, he just held the red feather like this, and without saying a word, the two guards guarding the city automatically let him pass, because they knew that this was the red feather emergency, and whoever delayed would have to lose his head.
Suzaku Street has always been very spacious, the four-meter-wide area in the middle has always been empty, although there are various shops and workshops around, but there is still a long distance from this area in the middle, this area is a forbidden area, people never dare to step here, they only walk on both sides of Suzaku Street.
In fact, this forbidden area is not very useful, mainly for the red feather emergency like today, which is one of the reasons why Suzaku Street is so spacious.
Suzaku Street Avenue is unimpeded, and the iron cavalry soon arrived at the Suzaku Gate, he entered the imperial city smoothly in the same way, and galloped all the way, and still did not stop when he arrived at Chengtian Gate, and galloped directly through, the guards did not dare to stop it, if other people they directly closed the palace door and did not open, there are regulations that you cannot ride a horse in the palace, and even the carriage is not allowed to enter, you can still enter a horse?
It's just that now this is the Red Feather Urgent Report, who dares to stop it, the guards of the city gate were told before entering the job that they must keep in mind a special situation, that is, the iron cavalry of the Red Feather Urgent Report cannot be stopped, otherwise it will cause death.
The iron horse went straight to the Taiji Palace, and finally arrived at the Ganlu Palace, and only stopped at the bottom of the steps, as soon as the horse stopped, the little soldier immediately turned over, rushed up the steps and handed the envelope in his arms to the doorman, and then quietly retreated, and when he left, he led the horse from the side door.
Boss Li was reviewing the recital, he was wearing a light dragon costume, but the summer was scorching, as the emperor, he also had to endure the torment of the scorching sun, and the pillar shook the fan vigorously on the side, which made his enthusiasm a little less.
"Your Majesty, Hongling is in a hurry!"
As soon as the waiter came in, he knelt on the ground, holding an envelope high, the pillar had walked down quickly, and the waiter quietly retreated after sending the envelope, Boss Li had put down the fold, his thick eyebrows were frowning, he wondered what would be the red feather emergency at this time, he didn't believe that there would be a problem with the side plug, this... Shouldn't it be like last year's locust plague, where there are natural and man-made disasters?
When the puzzled Boss Li took the envelope in the hand of the pillar and saw the words on it, his face suddenly changed, there was no special word on the envelope, just four simple signatures: Brother Xianghuo.
Seeing these words, Boss Li's expression became excited, and he was a little relieved, but he didn't know what good news this incense brother had brought him this time, with a sense of expectation, he cut off the wax seal, took out the letter paper inside, and looked at it seriously.
"Brother Xianghuo, seeing the letter is like seeing the brother, this is the second time the brother has written to you, five years ago and the brother became the incense brother, the brother has the heart to obey the brother, and now the brother thinks the time is ripe.
To make a long story short, at the beginning of last year, when my brother broke up with Jieli and asked for help from my brother, I had already made my will clear, and I was willing to return, and I still have my ambition today. Now there is something important to tell my brother, Jieli has been training frequently recently, and his brother suspects that it will be unfavorable to Datang, and he hopes that his brother will send troops to destroy him, and his brother is willing to respond internally and help his brother.
Brother, Tuli. ”
The letter is very short, but the information is important, after reading the content, Boss Li ordered the pillar to light a wax lamp, and a fire to put the letter and envelope into the torch, Boss Li was not in the mood to review the folds, he walked back and forth in the Manna Hall with his hands, and would pace like this whenever he had something on his mind.
Scenes from the past appeared in Boss Li's mind, he still remembered that in the seventh year of Wude, the Great Khan of ******, Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan, invaded the Tang Dynasty, when he was sent to Youzhou Road to intercept the Turkic soldiers, the two armies finally clashed in Wulonghan, when the two armies were inseparable, he took advantage of the gap between the Turks and Jieli to use the anti-strategy, and the Turks became incense brothers, so that the Turks retreated.
In the first letter last summer, Turi told Boss Li about the situation of the ****** at that time, ****** because of the perennial war everywhere, the people have been living poorly, and in the event of natural disasters such as frost and drought, many cattle and sheep have froze to death and starved to death, and the people are even more miserable, and the people hope to have a democratic Khan rule, Jieli has gradually lost the hearts of the people.
It is precisely because Jieli has lost the hearts of the people and lost his former prestige that many tribes that once sent troops to the northern border cities with him have turned against him, Xue Yantuo, Hui Hui, Bayegu, and Tongluo took the opportunity to rebel en masse, and many small tribes such as Hui, Bayegu, and Tongluo voluntarily surrendered to Xue Yantuo and chose Xue Yantuo to become their new boss************. They did this because they knew that Jieli was no longer reliable, they had to get rid of his relationship with him, and find a new backer, if Jieli failed, they would also be affected, so they elected Yi Nan as a representative to attach to the Tang Dynasty, this representative who broke away from Jieli was jointly elected by many tribes to express his willingness to submit to the Tang Dynasty, so at the end of last year, Li Boss named Yi Nan as the true pearl Khan, and gave him a drum bag, and later Yi Nan also sent an envoy to pay tribute, officially becoming a belonging tribe of the Tang Dynasty, a loyal dog.
The first time Tuli informed the information of the internal rupture and disaster in the ******, Boss Li was only moved at that time, and when Xue Yantuo, Hui Su, Bayegu, and Tongluo tribes rebelled, Boss Li was very happy, and was willing to be the initiator of the rebellion, adding fuel to the fire, canonizing Yi Nan as Zhenzhu Khan, and identifying with this gradually rising tribe.
Although it is very likely that this will raise another white-eyed wolf, as far as the current situation is concerned, Yi Nan is much more inferior than Jieli Wen.
What's more, Boss Li is not afraid of raising a white-eyed wolf at all, because the white-eyed wolf will exist at any time, this world is like this, many tribes may be white-eyed wolves, when its claws are unfavorable, it will obediently submit to obedience, and when you are old, gradually weak, and can't control it, it will be out of your control, leave you, and may turn around and bite you, and when it becomes more and more powerful outside, it will call more white-eyed wolves to bully you and drink the last drop of blood on your body.
It is this kind of typical white-eyed wolf, and Boss Li believes that it is also possible that like Xue Yantuo, as long as it is given ****** conditions, they will all be the next ******.
However, with the lesson of ******, Boss Li will not let the story of the farmer and the snake repeat itself, and when the ****** is destroyed, the end of many other tribes that may be white-eyed wolves will not be far away, and the cold lips and teeth will always be so cruel.
Although there were cracks in the ******, Boss Li didn't feel that he could send troops at that time, he was waiting for the opportunity, because he was not sure whether he could win at that time, he felt that the special forces had just been established for less than a year, and they were not mature enough, and they still needed to be honed.
Boss Li sighed helplessly, slowly walked out of the Ganlu Palace, sat on the car, and pointed in one direction, and several attendants quickly walked away with understanding, and it didn't take long to arrive outside the Xiande Palace.
The attendant at the gate of the Xiande Hall was about to shout that the emperor had arrived, but was stopped by a gesture from Boss Li, who strolled up the steps, climbed to the lookout on the temple gate, and quietly looked at the three thousand people who were practicing in the square in front of him.
Looking at these 3,000 men and horses that he had single-handedly managed, Boss Li's thoughts flew back to the past, if it weren't for the rise of ******, if it weren't for the difficulty of this northern tribe to eliminate, he would not have been so attentive to prepare this elite team at the beginning of his accession to the throne.
Looking back at the history of the previous dynasty, when the Turks were just split in the first three years of the Sui Dynasty, ******'s attitude has always been very good, succumbing to the previous dynasty, at this time the ****** is very small, there is no strength, it is dependent on the Sui Dynasty to restrain the powerful Western Turks, it is to find a backer for itself not to be eliminated by the Western Turks.
It's a pity that the emperor of the previous dynasty was a stupid pig, and he didn't take the opportunity to destroy the ****** that had just sprouted, but he wanted to help it, support it, and fight against the Western Turks together.
When the rebel army of the previous dynasty was in turmoil, ****** took the opportunity to break away from the rule of the previous dynasty and began to rise rapidly, but the longevity of the previous dynasty was exhausted, and there was no internal melee, so there was no extra energy to take care of the ******, so he let it rise and let it plunder the city and occupy the pool on the northern border.
This ungrateful white-eyed wolf never felt that he was deeply protected by the previous dynasty when he was young, so that he would not be merged by the Western Turks again, if the previous dynasty directly destroyed it at that time, or left it alone, at this moment it is either the territory of the Tang Dynasty or the territory of the Western Turks, and there is nothing wrong with becoming the territory of the Western Turks, at most, the Turks split and then merged, and then find another opportunity to destroy it in the future.
It's just that history has no ifs, and the rise of the white-eyed wolf is doomed.
During the chaotic war of the previous dynasty, the rebel armies from all walks of life rose one after another, and the white-eyed wolf seized this opportunity to not only invade the border states, but also win over Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Dou Jiande, Liu Heimin, Gao Kaidao and other separatist forces, in order to increase their influence in the Central Plains in the future.
That's it, it actually besieged Emperor Yang of Sui in Daizhou, if it weren't for Boss Li and Wang Shichong coming, I'm afraid Emperor Yang of Sui would have returned to heaven long ago.
Although Boss Li recognized that ****** was a white-eyed wolf, he was still unable to compete with it at that time, and he still remembered that when the Emperor Taishang raised troops in Taiyuan, although he used the empty city strategy to scare off the attacking Turkic soldiers, but the strength of the Emperor at that time could not compete with it.
It's just that what Boss Li can't accept is that the Emperor Taishang would actually call himself a vassal to the white-eyed wolf at that time, and he also reached an agreement with the white-eyed wolf that the land and people of the city that were attacked and fought would belong to the emperor, but the gold and silver treasures could only be given to the white-eyed wolf, which made the white-eyed wolf not eat himself, alas, cowardly, the dignified hero at the end of the Sui Dynasty was so bullied by the white-eyed wolf who had helped and supported him.
Since then, Boss Li has secretly made up his mind that he will definitely destroy this white-eyed wolf in the future, although he also knew about the situation before the uprising, and knew that ****** was more tricky, but he did not have the determination and ambition to destroy it, and it was the tolerance of the Emperor Taishang who stimulated his enthusiasm.
It's a pity that there is no chance, when Boss Li is not strong, the white-eyed wolf is getting stronger and stronger, especially after the accession of Jieli Khan in the second year of Wude, the wolf nature of this white-eyed wolf is more and more ferocious, and his appetite is bigger than before, repeatedly harassing the northern border, and the most hateful thing is that his appetite is so big that he wants to swallow the dignified Tang Dynasty!
When Boss Li became the crown prince in the Xuanwumen Change, and his position was not too stable, Jieli took advantage of Boss Li who had not yet gotten rid of Xue Wanche and Luo Yi of Li Jiancheng's old department, and invaded the northern border again.
In the ninth year of Wude, Jieli attacked Wugong County with more than 100,000 iron cavalry, which made the entire court feel uneasy, fortunately, Wei Chi Jingde defeated the Turks in Jingyang, only to save a little dignity, but Jieli was not afraid, and then less than a month after Li Boss ascended the throne, he raised troops to capture the Weishui Bridge, and approached Chang'an, when Li Boss detained the Turkic general who threatened to enter the city, and then led the eldest Sun Wuji, Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan, Dugu Yanyun and other six horsemen to the south bank of the Weishui Bridge outside Chang'an City, and scolded across the river****** Stab in the back.
Jieli Khan and others knew that they were at a loss, and because the flank was attacked, the general was detained, so they allied with Li Laoda and cut off the white horse, and sent a lot of gold and silver treasures to make Jieli retreat.
At that time, this was just a delaying tactic, confusing Jieli with money, making him more and more slack, and Boss Li secretly prepared for war, and since Weishui returned from beheading the White Horse Alliance, he violated the ancestral system that officials were not allowed to carry weapons in the palace to practice this elite in the Xiande Palace
Thinking back to everything in the past, Boss Li was full of emotion, and in the snap of his fingers, eleven years quietly flowed away between his fingers, since the emperor raised troops in Taiyuan and began to germinate the idea of destroying the ******, unconsciously, this dream has not been possible until this moment······ (To be continued.) )
