The solution of the Lingnan problem allowed the Tang Emperor Li Shimin to allocate more energy and troops to deploy a decisive battle with the Turks a few years later.

At the same time that the Tang Emperor Li Shimin made great efforts to govern the country, recuperate, gather national strength to solve a series of domestic contradictions, implement a series of strategies to strengthen the country, and implement a series of reforms, the Turkic Jieli Khan was not idle, he had an ambition to encompass all directions and unify the country, and he was also using his best efforts to eliminate dissidents and strengthen his rule. The two great powers of the North and the South are struggling to sharpen their swords, and they are both waiting for the moment when the next duel will stab each other in the throat with a single blow, killing the other party with one blow.

Vast grassland. The grassland is calm, she has her own vast and vast capital, she hardly needs to open her eyes, she calculates that the world will be poured by her, and the whole world seems to be a frozen landscape. When people gallop on horseback on the grassland, all they are shocked is a little dust flying behind them. The grass is still the endless grass, the green is still the green full of life, and the steady distant mountains that have been swayed by the green and verdant green to the fullest, and outlined with soft and continuous lines, everything is so quiet. However, the beauty of the grassland is not only contained in the quiet, but also contained in the rapid change. A sudden heavy rain fell on the second largest tribe on the vast grassland, the Xue Yantuo tribe, just like the Xue Yantuo tribe is now facing an unprecedented catastrophe.

Xue Yantuo's ancestors were originally a part of the Turks, and their ancestors fled from the Turks for various reasons, initially living together with the Xue people, and then swallowing up the Yantuo tribe, calling themselves Xue Yantuo, the official system and customs are roughly the same as the Turks, but they do not consider themselves Turks, and they do not recognize the dominance of the Turkic Jieli Khan, and now they are dissatisfied with the brutal rule of the Turkic Jieli Khan, and they have formed a confrontation with the Jieli Khan.

The Xueyantuo tribe was located in the northern part of the Turkic Khanate, and was led by Yi Hui (zhi) Khan. It has more than 500,000 troops and 100,000 elite cavalry.

In Yi Hui's sweat tent, Yi Hui Khan sat upright on a tiger skin chair.

Yi Hui Khan, about sixty years old, has a dark face, gray beard, a pair of sword eyebrows that go straight into the temples, bright eyes, a lion nose, and a wide mouth. The whole person looks unusually strong.

Yi Nan, the grandson of Yi Hui Khan and the successor of the Xue Yantuo tribe, stood by Yi Khan's side.

Yi Nan is about twenty years old, burly, with a dark face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a lion nose, and a wide mouth. The biggest feature of Yi Nan's appearance is his eyes, which are large but not clear. It seems to be unfathomable, and it is impossible to guess what he is thinking in his heart, and whenever Yi Nan looks at a person with his eyes, that person will also have a feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake. It makes people feel that Yi Nan is extremely dangerous and terrifying.

Yi Hui Khan waved his hand and asked Yi Nan: "In order to force my Xue Yantuo tribe to submit to him, Jieli has ordered Tuli and Qibi He Li to lead an army of 120,000 together. It's time for a showdown with me. How do you think this battle should be fought? ”

Yi Nan seemed to have been prepared, and replied directly: "Great Khan, I think this battle. We can't fight with Tuli and Qibi Heli. I think the Great Khan can try to communicate with Tuli and Qibi He Li in private, and join forces with each other to fight against Jieli, the evil wolf on the grassland. ”

Yi Hui's eyes flashed, and he nodded: "Jieli, this evil wolf, is trying in vain to annex my Turkic tribes that are not obedient to him, and turn them all into his descendants. Some small tribes are powerless to resist, can I, Xue Yantuo, the second largest tribe of the Turks with 100,000 warriors, still allow him to act recklessly and annex at will? Even if the tribe fights to the last person, I, Xue Yantuo, will not give in. I, Xue Yantuo, have warriors who fly freely in the sky like eagles, and there are absolutely no cowards who like to climb high branches like swallows and seek refuge every moment. Jieli and Tuli are called uncles and nephews, but in fact, Tuli is Jieli's thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, I can't understand, Jieli is so jealous of Tuli, why Tuli still has to work hard for Jieli, for Jieli to drive? Could it be that Tuli is so bloodless, so he doesn't want his father to face Luo Khan? If I were Tuli, I would definitely fight against the 120,000-strong army of Qibi He Li and fight against Jieli to the end. ”

Yi Nan smiled wryly, saying that he didn't know why Tuli did this.

Yi Hui Khan said to Yi Nan: "You go and persuade Tuli, as long as Tuli is willing to join forces with my Xue Yantuo Department to fight against Jieli, my Xue Yantuo Department is willing to respect Tuli as the Turkic Great Khan, defeat Jieli together, and rule the grassland." ”

Yi Nan put his right hand on his chest, and after saluting, he turned around and left the big tent.

In the big tent of the Tuli Khan, Tuli sat on a tiger-skin chair in the middle of the big tent, Qibi He Li sat in the first position of the head of the right hand of the Tuli, and the Yi Nan of the Xue Yantuo Department who had just arrived sat in the first position of the head of the left hand of the Tuli.

After some greetings, Yi Nan said to Tuli: "Second Khan, my Xue Yantuo Department is unwilling to fight with the Second Khan, my Xue Yantuo Department is against Jieli, and Jieli wants the Second Khan to fight with me Xue Yantuo and reap the benefits of the fisherman himself." Therefore, whether the second khan wins, or my Xue Yantuo department wins, the happiest person is Jieli. My Xue Yantuo Department and the Second Khan, General Qibi He Li are the thorn in the eye of the evil wolf of Jieli, a thorn in the flesh, my Great Khan proposed, my Xue Yantuo Department and the Second Khan, General Qibi He Li united, together to deal with the evil wolf on the grassland, as long as the two Khans are unified, my Xue Yantuo Department is willing to respect the Second Khan as the lord of the steppe, the Turkic Khan, only the order of the Second Khan is obeyed. ”

Hearing what Yi Nan said about the alliance, Tuli's eyes lit up, but he quickly looked pensive and speechless.

Seeing that Tuli seemed unwilling, Qi Bi He Li said: "Second Khan, I think Yi Khan's proposal is good." We have been suppressed by Jieli, this is something that anyone can see, Jieli, the evil wolf, is eager to get rid of the second sweat and then fast. In the past, our strength was weak and we didn't dare to fight with the evil wolf Jieli, but now that the Xue Yantuo tribe is willing to unite with the second khan, what is the second khan afraid of? Xue Yantuo and our two families combined, they are no worse than him. ”

Tu Li glanced at Qi Bi He Li dissatisfied, and said to Yi Nan with a smile: "The matter of Xue Yantuo's joint affairs with me, this matter is too important, and let me think about it for a few more days." Yi Nan asks you to stay in my military camp for a few days, and after a few days, I will definitely give Yi Hui Khan an accurate answer to your Xue Yantuo Department. I also know the things you said that Jieli was afraid of me. If I start a war with you Xue Yantuo, it will be very detrimental to you and me. Please rest assured, Yi Hui Khan, and please rest assured, I understand the truth of what the Central Plains people said, 'lips are dead and teeth are cold', and I will never attack Xue Yantuo's department. ”

Yi Nan saluted Tuli with a displeased face and left Tuli's tent. (To be continued......)
