When something happens, as long as it concerns one's own people, the heart will inevitably be biased towards one's own people, which is human nature.
The relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo is like that between a brother and a brother, because of the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, China was dealt a fatal blow, and the Eastern Turks took advantage of the situation and became the most powerful force. Even Li Tang was supported by the Eastern Turks, which is an irrevocable fact.
In August of the ninth year of Tang Wude, Jieli Khan took the opportunity to lead 200,000 troops to the north of the Weishui Bridge outside Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the Beijing division was shaken.
At that time, the Tang Dynasty did not have the strength to fight the Turks to the death, and Li Shimin had no choice but to set up a suspicious plan, personally led his subordinates and soldiers to talk to Jieli across the Weishui, and promised to use gold and silk to kill white horses to make an alliance.
It is really a great shame to be forced to this part by the Eastern Turks, and Li Shimin also bluntly said that the alliance of Weishui is actually a shame of Weishui.
The Weishui Alliance, which avoided Tang's operations under unfavorable conditions, stabilized the situation for itself. Developing the economy and accumulating strength won time, which was a turning point in the changes in the strength and weakness of the Tang and Turks. At this turning point, the significance of Xue Yantuo's existence is not trivial.
In the second year of Zhenguan, during the civil strife in the Eastern Turks, Li Shimin decisively sent the guerrilla general Qiao Shiwang to secretly contact the leader of Xue Yantuo, Yi Nan, to express his support. Yi Nan received the support of the Tang Dynasty, created Xue Yantuo to stand on his own, and was attached to the Tang Dynasty. Xue Yantuo's self-reliance weakened the Turkic strength by one-third at once, and also gave Li Tang a chance to win.
In the third year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin canonized the leader of Xue Yantuo Yi Nan as "Zhenzhu Viga Khan", in Zhenguan four years, the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks with lightning speed, became the overlord of the world, and was able to destroy the Eastern Turks, Xue Yantuo gave great support.
It can be said that without Xue Yantuo, no matter how eloquent and strategic Li Shimin is, it is absolutely impossible to destroy the overlord on the grassland in just four years.
Since then, Xue Yantuo has been Li Tang's most loyal ally, often paying tribute to the Tang Dynasty with horses, cattle, sheep, camels, mink skins, etc. The number is so large that there are thousands, tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands.
However, because of the control of the Western Regions, the Western Turks have always been enemies of the Tang Dynasty, and they have only recently made friends with the Tang Dynasty. Once Li Shimin awarded Tianma to Xue Yantuo, all calculations were in vain.
Wanting to be the son of the Eastern Turks Shibi Khan, because the Eastern Turks destroyed Li Shimin, he defected to the Western Turks. The advantage of identity has always made him disagreeable and unwilling to live under others. He wanted to become a khan and become the overlord of the Western Regions.
It's just that the strength of the loss is not small, and the strength he has now is not enough to deal with the loss.
He needed money, a large amount of money to buy the support of the Western Regions.
When he proposed to sell his horse in exchange for money and develop himself, he knew that the opportunity had come, and relying on the trust he had gained over the years, he volunteered to act as an envoy and take on this difficult task. He knew the value of the Pegasus, and if he sold it, the money and goods he received would be enough to form a powerful army to fight against the Celestial Forces.
This matter is the key to Desire's intention to stand on its own, but now because of various accidents, it looks like this opportunity is about to be lost, how can Desire's Valleyset sit and stand.
Seeing Du He leisurely walking into the side hall, Desire Gu set up anxiously and greeted him and said, "General Du, how did Tian Khan break the sage?" ā
"Alas!" Du He sighed, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty was furious when he heard it......"
Desire Gu Shi blinked, his face was dazed, and he thought: "What kind of fire is Tian Khan!" ā
Du He glanced left and right, and whispered secretly: "Lord Yu, do you know who is the most trusted tribal leader of His Majesty in the Western Turks?" It's you...... But you ...... Alas, forget it, don't talk about it, you can do it yourself! ā
Wanting to set up a huge earthquake, these words were exactly what he was thinking, and he hurriedly pulled Du He and said: "Lord Du, how do you say this, please show it directly, I am grateful!" ā
Du He said: "On the surface, I am good friends with my Datang, but the heart of the Western Regions has never died. What are you trading Pegasi for a huge amount of money now? Your Majesty is wise and martial, and you can see your purpose at a glance, you want to use this huge amount of money to develop your own strength, so as to compete with my Datang. ā
Desire Gu She's face was pale, this was indeed the intention of the profit.
Du He continued: "Your Majesty has always been worried about profit and loss, and intends to support a tribal leader as a khan and command the Western Turks! He fell in love with you, but you lost your horse in Chang'an for profit, which has chilled Your Majesty's heart......"
Wanting to be able to get the support of Datang, it is far better than the value of money, and he hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding." I didn't come to sell horses for profit, but for myself, and if I want to be independent, I need a lot of money. Lord Du, please also tell the meaning of the desire valley to the Heavenly Khan, for your great kindness, I will never forget. ā
Du He looked at him for a long time and said, "I don't believe you, Your Majesty is also dissatisfied with you now, and he may not believe your words." Your Majesty has clearly judged right and wrong, and has already sentenced Tianma to you Western Turks, take the horse and go back to the Western Regions, Your Majesty's birthday is no longer allowed for you to participate. ā
The more he thinks about it, the more afraid he becomes, where is this Tianma, it is simply the talisman of the soul hooking Hades, if he is really driven back to the Western Turks, his prestige will be greatly reduced, let alone self-reliance, and he will be Amitabha Buddha if he is not annexed by other tribes.
Wanting Gu Shi hurriedly cried and said with a sad face: "Lord Du, I don't want Tianma, I will give it to Your Majesty to prove my heart." Please also tell Your Majesty that I want Gu to be truly attached to the Tang Dynasty, and I am definitely not the kind of villain who is a loser. ā
"That's it!" Duho paused and agreed "reluctantly".
Needless to say, at the strong request of Desire Valley, Li Shimin accepted Tianma and promised to support Desire Valley to resist the loss of profits, and let them go dog eat dog.
Not only earning Tianma, but also being able to make the Western Turks civil strife, it is to kill two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone.
This is also Duhe's biggest strength and the most advantageous advantage...... He knows the course of history.
Desire Valley set up a very good disguise, no one can see that he has opposing intentions, but history clearly records that Desire Valley set up an army to stand on his own and become the Khan of the Western Turks when he lost the most popularity.
Du He only listened to the name of Desire Valley, and he didn't need to understand his personality at all, so he could conclude that he was a careerist who was unwilling to be left behind, so he set up a game and let him drill into it by himself, so that he would willingly send Tianma and willingly weaken the power of the Western Turks for the Tang Dynasty.
