Chapter 807: The True Purpose of Going South
Que Du She, Desire Gu She, and others instigated the leaders and generals in the tent, and they were clamoring to kill Dou Hongxian, the demon woman who bewitched the Great Khan's southern expedition. Yili Little Khan looked at those people with contempt on his face, and snorted coldly with disdain: "The Great Khan is wise and wise, do you really think that the Great Khan will be swayed by a Central Plains woman?" Ignorance, recklessness! Even if you are dissatisfied with the Central Plains woman, since the Great Khan has appointed her as Kedun, it is not something you can mess with casually. Do you still have a great khan in your eyes, and do you have the law of the khanate? β
Since Tong Yehu divided the khanate into ten parts and divided the ten commanders, the relationship between the little khanate and the ten sets in the khanate was the most tense. Although the little Khan of Yili was the most trusted person of the Great Khan of Tongyehu, these settings such as Que Du and Desire Valley were still somewhat hostile to the little Khan of Yili. At this time, when they heard Yili's reprimand, they did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and they took a step forward and said: "Sha Bolu Khan and Shibi Khan both led an army of 400,000 to the south, but the last one was defeated as soon as he came out of Yin Mountain, and one was defeated by Yanmen. Since you are the most trusted person of the Great Khan, should you not persuade the Great Khan to cancel his plan to go south? Do you really want the Great Khan to take a ride on my steppe 400,000 iron horsemen in order to avenge a woman? β
"Presumptuous!" Yili Little Khan shouted angrily, "It's really disappointing that a guy with a mouse's eyes, a guy like you, can be promoted to one of the ten by the Great Khan." Don't say such things again today, otherwise if it spreads, it will not be your own people who will be lost, but the face of the Great Khan. Although our steppe tribe has roots in the grassland, the real threat is the Central Plains. At the beginning, which one of Sha Bolu and Shibi Khan was not the prairie Tianjiao, do you think they will not be as good as a wine bag and rice bag like you? I think that when the Khan was still there, he never forgot to unify the steppe and re-strengthen the steppe Turkic Khanate. β
Que Dushe said in a low voice: "But now we have unified the Eastern and Western Khanates under the leadership of the Great Khan?" Now that our khanate is reunited, the steppes are vast, and even the strongest mountain eagles cannot fly over our steppes without keto. We have such vast grasslands, and we have countless brave knightsβ to expand east and west, to conquer all the tribes that have not yet surrendered, to submit them to our horses' hooves, to divide all their pastures into our pastures, and to make all their children slaves. There are still so many tribes waiting for us to conquer, why should we go south to the Central Plains, which is full of mountains and rivers, with walls everywhere and like turtle shells?"
Little Khan kicked away a chair at his feet. With a long sigh, he said: "The great power game, how can a reckless man like you understand." I think I am a Turkic warrior peerless, if I go head-to-head with the Han people, one can fight at least three. But if you think about it, it has been nearly 70 years since the founding of the Turks, but for nearly 50 years it has been divided. Our Turks have hundreds of thousands of people who control the strings, but why have they been repeatedly defeated by the hands of the Central Plains? If you think about it carefully, in the past forty or fifty years, how many of our Turkic khans have finally surrendered to the Han people in the Central Plains? And how many Khans died at the hands of the Han Chinese, and even the Luo Khan of our Western Turkic Division. The Eastern Turkic Khans such as Shibi, Jieli, and Tuli are all still prisoners of His Royal Highness of the Han people in the Central Plains, why are these? Have you not thought with your brains? β
Seeing the scene in the tent at this time, he also knew that everyone was suppressed by the little Khan of Yili, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart. He picked up the dagger and put a piece of fatty mutton into his mouth, and said slowly: "In the past, the Khan once said that a unified Turkic khanate is a nightmare for the Central Plains people, and a unified Central Plains dynasty will also be a nightmare for our steppe people. At that time, Yang Jian unified the north and the south. The establishment of the Great Sui has kept our steppe in the midst of infighting, and the blood of countless warriors has been shed in vain. Now there is civil strife in the Central Plains. Our steppe has to be blessed by the immortal heaven, and the sky descends to unify the Yehu Khan and the wise and powerful, and unify the Eastern and Western Khanates. ββ¦,
"The unified Central Plains Dynasty is a nightmare for the steppe people, so we can't let this nightmare come. Division, disintegration, long-distance and close attacks, combining the weak and attacking the strong, these were all the methods used by the Central Plains people to deal with us steppe people, and now we have to return all this. The Emperor of the Chen Dynasty is indeed a rare emperor of Shenwu, but the more this is the case, the more we have to fight this battle, if he is allowed to unify the Central Plains, then the nightmare of our steppe people is the real beginning. Now that you still can't understand these words, then go back and find a few Han people to learn from them. He laughed.
The little Khan glanced at the assassin with some appreciation, he was not surprised by this somewhat strange leader of the Ganeloβ everyone in the knew that although the assassin was the leader of the Yehu of the Ganelo tribe, his mother was a Han woman who was captured by the steppe knights. I heard that this Han woman is still a young lady from a scholarly family, and was adopted as a slave girl by Mou Jianjia's father and gave birth to Mou Jianjia, so in addition to being taught by the Ge Nelu people since he was a child, he also learned the language β of the Han people since he was a child, and he also became an outlier when he grew up, and even his father didn't like him, but Mou Jianjia was very Lianming, and he could always come up with many good ways that people couldn't think of. After his father grew old, he gradually pulled a lot of tribal leaders, and finally after his father's death, he killed those brothers who looked down on him in one fell swoop, and became the great leader of the Ganelo tribe Ye Hu β for a few years, and Mou Tingjia has always appeared in the center of the khanate's power as a strategist for the commander of Ye Hu.
When the leaders heard the ridicule of Mou Tingjia, they all felt faceless, and they didn't stand or sit one by one.
Ashina and Danai deliberately glared at Que Dushe fiercely at this time, and said with a smile: "Maybe the envoy sent by our Great Khan has already arrived in Luoyang, and as soon as the Emperor of the Chen Dynasty heard that our Great Khan was going to send 400,000 troops south, it is estimated that his face was frightened at this time, and he was already in a hurry to send the princess Yicheng to Yinshan on the way." If the emperor of the Chen Dynasty really sent Princess Yicheng and cut Na Dingxiang and Ma Yi as a dowry, I guess we would be embarrassed to send troops south again. β
Mou Tingjia chuckled, shook his head and said, "Then how can Chen Pojun be a person who can surrender?" Not to mention ceding Dingxiang Mayi, it is estimated that it is impossible for him to send Princess Yicheng over. The Great Khan sent an envoy to Luoyang, but it was just to try the reality of the Chen Dynasty. β
Chen Shina and Da Nai were full of contempt: "What else does Chen Pojun's little child have to try?" The Great Khan is really, our 200,000 iron horsemen are invincible all the way, and when they reach the boundary of this Yin Mountain, he is afraid! Mou Tingjia used a dagger to fork up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth: "Do you think the Great Khan is afraid of Chen Pojun?" Ashina Danai was stunned for a moment, looking at Mou Tingjia, but he didn't understand the meaning of his words.
On the other hand, the little Khan of Yili heard what he meant, and Ni Xiao, Mo Helu and the others were delayed, and no one knew what they were thinking. If the other tribal leaders still didn't know what it meant, how could the Great Khan of Tongye Hu not understand the meaning behind it. Yili glared at the assassin with some dissatisfaction, and some words were well known, but it was a little inappropriate to say them.
In the evening, the little Khan of Yili met with Tong Yehu alone.
"Great Khan, that assassin seems to have seen something."
Tong Ye Hu is more than half a hundred years old, it is the final stage of the most refined and strong, the weather outside the Seychelles in September has turned cold, but he is sitting in the tent shirtless, drinking and burning and eating barbecue. Hearing Yili Xiao Khan's words, he just smiled slightly: "This guy is indeed smart, it is estimated that only those Han people in the Central Plains who are twisted and circumstantiated can be smarter than him." This time, Ben Khan ordered the arrows to summon the soldiers and horses of all tribes to come to Yinshan to converge, ostensibly to go south to the Central Plains. However, although it is true to go south to the Central Plains, you also know that in addition to this reason, Ben Khan has more important reasons. ββ¦,
"You also know that since Ben Khan unified things and things, although the wind and waves are calm on the surface, in fact, the big leaders of the tribes have a lot of complaints in private, especially Mo Helu and others, who are against Ben Khan."
"Great Khan, in fact, they only have some objections because the Great Khan has set up ten khanates in charge of the khanate and promoted the power of Zhutler. Although there are objections, it is mostly because the Great Khan's practices are contrary to the traditions of the Khanate and have taken away a lot of their rights, and it is true that they are dissatisfied with the Great Khan because of this, but there is no such thing. The matter came to himself, and the little Khan hurriedly explained.
Tong Ye Hu laughed: "Old man, you don't have to explain much. In order for such a vast khanate to remain strong, we sometimes have to learn from the practices of the Han Chinese. The main strong branches are weak, this is the way to maintain strength and stability, I divide ten sets, set up a tler, all this, is just for the sake of the strong and weak branches, all this, in fact, is for the long-term plan of the khanate, so as not to prevent further divisions. β
Yi Li looked at Tong Ye Hu, and always felt a little strange, the Tong Ye Hu who shared life and death back then seemed to have gradually left him.
He couldn't help blurting out: "I'm afraid that Dou Hongxian taught all this to the Great Khan, right?" Did she still bewitch the king, so that the king could take the opportunity of this southern expedition to teach Chen Pojun a lesson, weaken the strength of the Chen Dynasty, and slow down their pace of unifying the Central Plains. Second, it was also after the Great Khan had just unified the Khanate, and this southern expedition was used to establish the prestige of the Great Khan for the Great Khan. Third, it is estimated that Dou Hongxian also wants to take advantage of this to avenge her own personal vendetta, and it is estimated that the Great Khan wants to take this opportunity to use the tribes and forces in the current Khanate that are not completely subservient to you to use the soldiers and horses of the Chen Dynasty to eliminate dissidents, Great Khan, am I right? β
Tong Ye Hu's eyes flashed, there was a hint of discoloration in his eyes, and finally he sank, he reached out and patted the old brother's arm: "Yili, you are drunk." I'll have someone help you go back and rest early! β
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and a golden wolf guard reported outside: "Report to the Great Khan, the messenger sent to Luoyang has returned!" β
