Ashina Sheer's words undoubtedly slapped them hard in front of the ministers, and they couldn't find the north. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even the Khan of the Eastern Turks, Ashina Sheer, personally admitted the demise of the Eastern Turks and said that he would integrate into the Tang Dynasty, and the accusations of the ministers became vexatious in an instant.

This has to be hidden from others, first of all, from one's own people.

Du He's true intentions were only known to Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and other ministers at the top of the pyramid. The other ministers were all instigated, and none of them knew the reason behind it, but subjectively launched a wave of offensive against the Eastern Turks based on the rebellion of Ashina's association rate.

Now that Ashina Sheer said this, one by one they were dumb, and they knocked their eyes on Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and others who were fueling the trouble, and what made them vomit blood was: These three leading bosses, one by one, raised their heads, looked at the beams of the roof, with an expression that they had nothing to do with themselves, and cleared up all the involvement: Du He's goal has been achieved, and they naturally have no reason to make irresponsible remarks about the Eastern Turks.

Li Shimin was also laughing secretly, thinking about what method his son-in-law used to let Ashina Sheer do this.

The court controversy against the Eastern Turks ended dramatically under Ashina Sheer's words.

Of course, the matter is not over yet, Ashina Sheer and Persistence have already persuaded Du He to decide to adapt to the situation and calmly face the fact of the Turkic demise in order for the people of the clan to truly live a good life. The first thing they had to convince was the original Turkic remnants living in the Tang Dynasty, so that they could integrate into the Tang Dynasty and become a part of the Tang Dynasty.

At first, he thought it wouldn't be easy, but he was wrong.

It was a big mistake, it turned out that the integration of the two peoples was easier than he imagined.

Ashina Sheer and Zhizhi lost their thinking power, and it was almost effortless to persuade the Turkic remnants in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Ashina Sheer and Zhi Zhi couldn't imagine this situation, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng were all dumbfounded, and Du He was also half surprised.

But soon, a story flashed through his mind, he understood the cause and effect, and knew why.

I can't remember the name of the story, but it was when I was in college, on the eve of the summer vacation, and the professor told them that the story was about England a long time ago, when seafaring was in full swing, and there was a fleet of ships that went to the American continent to make money. But on the way, there were storms, pirates, water cuts, fasting, and so on.

The entire fleet of nearly 200 people was sharply reduced to 52 people. But these fifty-two people became one in these trials, and they worked together as brothers, and against all odds, they survived and lived with their inhabitants on an unknown island.

Half a year later, the fleet went to sea again, and it was still fifty-two people who were like brothers, but no one expected that within three months, fifty-two people turned against each other and launched a mutiny, killing each other.

The reason is that because of the quiet life of half a year, the mood of fifty-two people has changed. The peaceful life makes them forget their discipline and purpose, yearn for a new and peaceful life, and are unwilling to run around the sea, which leads to contradictions.

The professor said that the moral of the story was obviously to treat the holidays as a peaceful life, to treat the students as a crew member, and to warn them not to forget that they were a student because of the holidays.

This story just explains these abnormal actions of the Eastern Turkic remnants.

As a nomadic people on the steppe, the Eastern Turks are always with them in war, and they have no stable life.

In order to live, they will go to war when necessary, regardless of whether they are men, women, or children, and live a life of fear. They are accustomed to this kind of life, and subtly, they no longer feel that this kind of life is a kind of sin, but because their lives are threatened from time to time, they have condensed into a whole and have extremely powerful combat effectiveness.

But because of the defeat, they moved to the territory of Datang and lived and worked in peace and contentment in the territory of Datang.

The Tang Dynasty ruled by Li Shimin only has the share of beating others, and there is no possibility of being beaten. Therefore, these Turkic people who moved to the territory of the Tang Dynasty have not seen the shadow of war for ten years.

Compared with living in the Eastern Turks, there is a day when there is no tomorrow, and a stable life in the Tang Dynasty is naturally what they yearn for. Ten years of stable life have made them forget their old habits, and they have begun to hate war, dislike war, and fear war.

Therefore, when Ashina Sheer and Zhi Lost Sili told their people the truth, these remnants of the Eastern Turks naturally accepted their proposal.

At this time, Li Shimin also promulgated a policy to encourage intermarriage.

The merging went more smoothly than expected.

Perhaps the differences in the habits of the two races will bring some trouble to the integration, but it is only a matter of time before the heart has been opened, a precedent, and it is only a matter of time before they become one.

also responded to the sentence, there is nothing in the world that cannot be done, only things that dare not be done. If you don't do it because it's difficult, you'll never succeed. Ignore the difficulties and do it with your heart, and you may find that everything is not as difficult as you imagined.

Just like this fusion, in history, because the two sides did not try to integrate when the relationship was at their most harmonious, there was a future rebellion, but now there is only one Tang Dynasty, and there is no Eastern Turk existence, how can there be a rebellion thirty years later?

The feeling of creating history again filled Du He's whole body with joy, and at the same time, he also gave birth to a thought, maliciously thinking: Ashina's rebellion led this time, not only did not cause any harm to Datang, but promoted the integration of Datang and Turkic, and brought great benefits to Datang. I don't know if Ashina's association rate is under Jiuquan, and when he learns this news, he will be so angry that he will crawl out of the underworld and die again.

Chang'an Return Inn.

As the world's largest metropolis, there are no less than 100 inns in Chang'an. Almost every square and every city has inns and restaurants.

Therefore, Du He planned to build an intelligence network, and the first thing he considered was the inn restaurant.

The Return Inn is an inconspicuous inn among the hundreds of guest battles in Chang'an, not the worst, but it is not good, it can only be located in the medium.

The owner of the shop is a very honest person, his name is Wang Laoshi, and he is not treacherous or deceitful in business. This kind of person is not suitable for business, but there are too many travelers to and from Chang'an, and there are countless business opportunities in the huge flow of passengers. Even the not well-known Return Inn is never short of customers, and the small life is enjoyable.

Especially recently returned to the inn ushered in a group of God of Wealth, they are from the outside of the Cypriot leather merchants, a line of more than 30 people, they chartered all the rooms, generous, happy to have always been thrifty Wang Laoshi also bought three jars of Du Kang wine from the welcome building in a row, drink every day, enjoy themselves.

There is a sign at the door of the inn that it is full, and Wang Laoshi has a pot of wine and a plate of side dishes, drinking and pecking by himself, which is so happy.

The shopkeeper had nothing to do, his eyes looked directly at the wine glass in Wang Laoshi's hand, leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "Owner, don't you think it's strange?" These businessmen don't let us work, but they give money so happily, will there be any problems in this? ”

"!" Wang glanced at him honestly and said, "Go to work, what do you care about so many idle things, we open the door to do business, do we still want to turn away high rollers?" Don't be a dog with a mouse and be nosy......" In fact, he was muttering in his heart!

He has been doing business in Chang'an for more than 20 years, and it is the first time he has encountered such a customer.

Not only did they charter the inn, but they didn't need them to help take care of the room, and the only requirement was that the meal had wine and meat, the wine wanted mare's milk spirits, and the meat had the freshest mutton.

They went out early and returned late, and seemed to be very busy, which Wang Laoshi found strange, but he had the consciousness of a businessman, and he did what he was told with interest, and there was nothing deviant. In this way, you can make money and not get into trouble.

Hurried footsteps walked into the store, Wang honestly looked up and wanted to say, "It's full, please find another store!" But as soon as the words were about to come out of his throat, he immediately changed to the most intimate smile and said: "Big boss, why did you come back so early today?" Need lunch for you? ”

The person who came was the big proprietor of Hu Shang who had chartered their inn, he was eight feet long, tall and burly, with horizontal flesh on his face, and he didn't look like a businessman, so much that he felt like a robber.

Usually, this Hu businessman went out early and returned late, and never came back until nightfall, but before noon today, he saw him come back and was full of questions.

Hu Shang's big proprietor paused, showed a friendly smile and said, "No, I'm just a little tired, come back and take a rest, don't bother me." ”

Wang nodded honestly and said yes, but there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes. He could see that the big proprietor of Hu Shang pretended to be calm on the surface, and his words and deeds were the same, but there was deep anger in his eyes, and for some reason, he wisely didn't ask more.

Hu Shang's big proprietor hurriedly walked into the back hall.

The return inn is integrated with food and lodging, dining in the front hall, and accommodation in the back hall.

He hurried to the No. 1 room in the back hall, saw that there were no outsiders around, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in!"

Hu Shang asked the two to stay outside the house and pushed the door into the house.

At the top of the room sat a middle-aged man with a length of nine feet and an unusually strong man, and if Du He was here, he would definitely cry out in horror: "Generous! ”

Xue Yantuo's young master is generous.

"Subordinates meet the young master!" Hu Shang put his fist diagonally on his chest, and respectfully bowed deeply to Dadu.

Dadushe's expression was a little tired, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said in a hoarse voice: "What's the situation, did that waste betray us and tell us out." ”

Hu Shang said solemnly: "After my many inquiries, it seems that Ashina still knows some morality and has not told us out. ”

"That's good!" Dadu set out a long breath, his face was relaxed, and the big stone in his heart finally fell.

The decision to capture Li Shimin alive was not only one behind-the-scenes mastermind, Ashina was one of the representatives of the Eastern Turks, and Xue Yantuo, who was generously set up as a representative, was also one of them.

Xue Yantuo had already begun to target the Tang Dynasty.

It is unbelievable, because of the relationship between Chao and Xue Yantuo, that is, the elder brother and the younger brother, which are very close, but this is the case.

It all started more than a decade ago.

Xue Yantuo is one of the Ele tribes, they are a tribal union, which was formed by the merger of Xue and Yantuo, collectively known as Xue Yantuo. Initially, he was engaged in nomadic herding in the Tula River valley in Mobei, and belonged to the Eastern Turks. At that time, the Eastern Turks commanded by Jieli Khan were so powerful that even the Tang Dynasty had to bow to it.

In order to eliminate the Eastern Turks, Li Shimin made two extremely wise decisions in foreign diplomacy: first, to incite the Turks to rebel against Jieli, causing the split of the Eastern Turks; Second, form an alliance with Xue Yantuo and support Xue Yantuo against the Turks. These two armies achieved perfect results, inflicting huge casualties on the invincible Jieli. Because of their attrition, the Tang Dynasty was able to destroy the Eastern Turks in one battle.

Xue Yantuo also climbed the high branch of the Tang Dynasty because of this.

After the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks, they moved the people of the Eastern Turks to the south of the Yellow River. As a result, the territories of the former Eastern Turks were inevitably left free. The focus of the Tang Dynasty was on the development of the Western Regions and the Silk Road, and there was no intention of governing the northern grasslands. The north also let Xue Yantuo, an ally, take care of it, which is exactly what is needed in each period.

Shuo Sai was empty, with the support of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Yantuo's status rose, and he took the opportunity to rapidly expand his power, and in just ten years, he had occupied most of the territory of the former Eastern Turks, and moved the tooth tent from Yu Du Jun Mountain to the south of the Duluo River in the north of Duwei Jie Mountain, and became the overlord of the north, with hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and entered the heyday.

Of course, this overlord of the north, in front of the giant of the Tang Empire, is still a little kid who can't grow up.

Although Xue Yantuo's strength has increased greatly, they know that compared with the Tang Dynasty, their own strength is not enough to plug their teeth. So, they are very well-behaved, like kittens. Every year, Xue Yantuo's Khan Yinan will pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and the amount of tribute is terrifying. Horses, cattle, sheep, camels, mink, etc. paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty. The number is huge, often tens of millions, or even tens of thousands.

Li Shimin is also very dedicated to this ally, as long as Yi Nan comes to Chang'an, he will definitely receive him personally. It is the only Khan of all the foreign races to be treated like this, which shows the iron of the relationship.

But because of the saying, there are no eternal allies in the world, only eternal interests.

The momentum of Datang in recent years is really terrifying, it can be regarded as attacking from all sides, fighting against the five countries of Eastern Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Gaochang and Western Turks. The results of the battle were also amazing, the Eastern Turks were destroyed, Tuguhun was destroyed, Gaochang was destroyed, and although the Tibetans and Western Turks were not destroyed, they were also crippled.

This cross-border battle of thousands of miles was the most difficult to win, but the record of the Tang Dynasty was invincible and undefeated.

With this kind of power, the surrounding countries were not frightened, everyone was in danger, and they were afraid of becoming the next target of the Tang Dynasty.

But Xue Yantuo had the idea of being an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, which was not because they were unwise, but it showed that Xue Yantuo did have the ability to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

Because of a sentence, under the couch, how can others be allowed to snore.

Datang is the king of the lion kings who dominate the world, and Xue Yantuo sits in the north, with 300,000 elite soldiers and 800 strong generals, which is a tiger that is gradually growing. In the face of this tiger, as long as people with a little IQ will choose to wipe it out before it reaches adulthood, and never suffer in the future.

Originally, the Tang Dynasty wanted to open up the Western Regions and had no time to care about the north, which gave Xue Yantuo the opportunity to grow up. Now under the strength of Du He and Hou Junji, Gaochang is destroyed, the Western Turks are crippled, the Western Regions have surrendered to the feet of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions have been successfully developed, and the next object to deal with is self-evident.

Xue Yantuo was able to become the male lord of the north, and none of them were stupid, so he naturally realized this. Rather than waiting for the Tang Dynasty to come to the door, it is better to strike first and take the initiative. So, they had no choice but to be the enemy of Datang.

Don't dare to go head-to-head, after all, where is the glorious record of the Tang Dynasty. Give Xue Yantuo ten leopard guts, and they don't dare to fight head-on with Datang.

They thought of the same method as Li Shimin did to the Eastern Turks, and they all planned to divide from within in order to weaken the strength of the Tang Dynasty.

This weakens the enemy's strength and increases his own strength, which is undoubtedly a clever strategy.

They found Ashina's association rate, and the two sides met privately, which was naturally like Wang Ba mung bean, eye to eye.

Xue Yantuo promised that as long as Ashina could capture Li Shimin, then Xue Yantuo would raise his clan to help him obtain the Turkic throne, and at the same time expressed his willingness to return a certain amount of the original Eastern Turkic territory, and the two sides unanimously fought against the Tang Dynasty.

It is also because of Xue Yantuo's support that Ashina has the courage to kidnap Li Shimin so boldly.

Xue Yantuo thought very beautifully, what they were most afraid of was not Datang, but Li Shimin. Datang has what it is today because of Li Shimin, as long as Li Shimin is removed, Datang will go into decline, and they Xue Yantuo will rise because of this opportunity.

It turns out that all this is their wishful thinking, and the existence of Duhe completely kills everything.

Ashina's association was captured, and Prince Xue Yantuo, who was responsible for dividing the Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Turks, was completely unable to sleep when he got the news. When he and Ashina agreed on the association rate, only the two parties knew about each other, and no third party knew about it, and no one else knew the details, but Ashina himself was clear.

Dadu was worried that Ashina's association rate would break the jar and break, so he confessed to them with the intention of being unlucky together, and he was so frightened that he didn't close his eyes for three whole days.

It is not until today that it is confirmed that Ashina has not confessed to them, and it is not reassuring.

He let out a long breath and said, "This little thing can't be done, and you deserve to be killed." It's a pity, it's Duhe, a bastard, who is doing a big thing for me, and I can't wait to cut him with a thousand knives. He vented for a while and asked, "What is the situation in the court, have you heard detailed news?" ”

Hu Shang shook his head helplessly and said: "The officials in the court have a lot of respect for their country, and we can't find out what happened in the court." However, it was found that the two Eastern Turks, Ashina Sheer and Zhifu Sili, went to the gathering place of the Turkic people, and they were persuading the Turkic people to merge into the Tang Dynasty, and the response was particularly enthusiastic, and the effect was very good. I estimate that in a few years, there will be no more Eastern Turks in Datang! ”

Dadu stood up movingly, and said in a lost voice: "How can this be? ”
