Yudu Jun Mountain, the old court of the Turkic Khanate, was recorded in the Sui Dynasty as Yudu Jin Mountain. The Turkic Khan's court was originally established in Jinshan in the west of Yudu Military Mountain, and later moved to Yudu Military Mountain in the center of Mobei. Later, the Turkic internal strife, the khans competed for the position of the Great Khan, and Sha Boluo defeated the Sui Dynasty and moved the Khan's court to Baidaochuan south of Yinshan in Monan. Since then, Yudu Jin Mountain has been the Khan's court in the north of the Turks, but at this time, the center of this desert north, the former Khan court in the north, has become full of soldiers and horses of the Tiele tribes. In the north of the Turks, the little Khan Ashina was infected with the dry Turki Khan and fled, and the Tiele tribes went south, and the troops and horses of the various tribes gathered at the foot of the mountain.

There are many soldiers and horses of the Tiele tribe who have arrived here, and even new tribes are arriving every day. The struggle for the position of the Great Khan of the Ashina family of the Turkic Khanate has come to an end, after more than ten years of contention, now the shape is clear, the former Western Khan Nashi Na Na Tuna laughed to the end, the former strong Sha Bolu, Mo He, Apo and so on have died, after more than ten years of war in the Western Regions, Datou Khan finally defeated the Western Turkic opponents Persia and Eastern Rome, and once again led troops to the east, defeated Dulan Khan. After the defeat of the Great Khan of the Khanate, Du Lan had to give up the position of Great Khan.

Now, within the Turkic Khanate, the only little khan who has not yet submitted to Datou is the only one left by the little Turki khan.

The powerful Datou Khan was majestic, and an order was obeyed by the Tiele of the Mobei Tribes, and they gathered their tribesmen and horses one after another, and sent troops to attack the original direct boss Tuli Khan.

Mobei belonged to the northern khan fiefdom of the Turks. But here there are the most tribes, and the most powerful are the local tribes, the Tiele tribes.

There are more than 40 major tribes in the Turkic Khan's country, and there are more than a dozen large tribes in the Mobei region, which are divided into 15 major tribes. Traditionally, it is also known as Mobei Jiu, surnamed Tiele. In the Tiele dialect of Mobei, the surname is a shaman's term, which means tribe, and nine, which is an imaginary number, which means auspicious. The nine surnames of Tiele are the tribes of Tiele. The Tiele tribes in Mobei were all subordinate to the Turkic Khanate. Subordinate to the Lesser Khan of the North. However, the fifteen tribes with the surname Nine Tiele also have an alliance of their own, a loose alliance of the Tiele tribes in Mobei.

Xue Yantuo, Wei Su, Bayegu, Duolan Ge, Sijie, Hun, Qibi, Aqiu, Hu Xue, Xi Jie, Tongluo, Servant Gu, Gu Ligan, Dubo, Bai Fei. The fifteen Tiele tribes are scattered throughout the desert, reaching the North Sea in the north and the desert in the south. Among these fifteen large tribes, Xue Yantuo, Fendra, and Wei Su, which are closest to the desert, are the strongest. followed by Tongluo, Servant Gu, and Bayegu are the second strongest. And Wei Su has twice established his own tribal khanate.

At the foot of Yudujun Mountain, tents everywhere cover the grassland like clouds.

To the southwest, the largest piece belongs to the Xue Yantuo tribe. At the center of this big tent is the big tent of the current great patriarch of this powerful clan who calls himself a member of the Tiele tribe.

Xue Yantuo lives in the south of Mobei, and at the same time is between the east and west of the Turks, it can be said that their position is quite special, and they often come into contact with the Han people in the Central Plains, and they are a fast flow of information. The cultural spread is quite smooth, and at the same time, the commercial circulation is very lively tribes. This tribe was originally a tribe of the Xiongnu, and after the Xiongnu weakened, they moved to the Beihai area in the north of Mobei. Mixed with the local Tiele Xue tribe, and finally this mixed and united New Xue tribe gradually strengthened, and continued to move south, they annexed another tribe of Tiele, the Yantuo tribe, and finally formed a new tribe, the Xue Yantuo tribe, and the power became stronger and stronger. In the end, he became the strongest of the nine surnames of Mobei Tiele.

Xue Yantuo under the command of Yi Lost Bowl has thirteen large tribes, and he is the leader of the alliance of the thirteen tribes. Xue Yantuo's department has 500,000 accounts, millions of mouths, and 50,000 victorious soldiers. As the chief of the Thirteen Alliances, Yi Lost Bowl also held the important position of Huojie Lifa appointed by the Turks. Huojie Lifa was an important official position of the Turkic Khanate, located above Tutun and Qijin. In the Turkic bureaucratic system, Tutun was the governor of the khanate stationed in various places, and Tong Jin was the head of each department. Jie Lifa is higher than the two positions, and there is a movable type before Jie Lifa, which is the weight. The Tutun Khan's court sent local dignitaries, and he was the head of the local tribe, and Yi lost the bowl as the living Jieli hair, but because of this, he was higher than the officials sent by the Khan's court, and the level was higher than that of the leaders of other tribes.

To be able to get such a high-level official position, the most important thing is, of course, the strength of the Xue Yantuo tribe, compared to many other Tiele tribes, there are more than 10,000 soldiers, and the few are only three or five thousand, the strength of the Xue Yantuo tribe is too strong, and the thirteen tribes in the tribe, any one of them is not much weaker than the other Tiele tribes, and the alliance of the thirteen tribes of Xue Yantuo is also very close, which makes the Turkic Ashina clan, which has been trapped in civil strife for many years, have to win them over and give them high-ranking officials.

Yi Lost Bowl was born in the Yilitu clan in Xue Yantuo, the strongest of the thirteen generations. The Yilitu clan has 10,000 elite horses. As the leader of the thirteen divisions, Yi Lost Bowl also has a 5,000 elite cavalry independent of the thirteen divisions and directly belongs to him.

The Tiele tribes who came to Dujin Mountain elected Yi Lost Bowl as the commander of Tiele who went south this time, and elected the leader of the Fen tribe, Sileng Gelen, and the leader of the Wei tribe, Na Shi De Shijian, as the deputy commander.

Both Fen and Wei Su are close to Xue Yantuo, and they are also the strongest clan second only to Xue Yantuo among the nine surnamed Tiele. The Randolphs live to the east of the northern edge of the desert, while the Wei Su live to the south of the Yudujun Mountains, to the north of the Paraphra and Xue Yantuo.

Among them, Wei Su has 50,000 soldiers and 300,000 accounts, second only to Xue Yantuo's department, although there are only 20,000 soldiers, but there are also 200,000 accounts, especially the people have always been famous for their bravery.

At the first meeting of the various tribes this time, several tribal leaders proposed yì to elect the leader of the Wei tribe, Ashde Shijian, as the leader. Shi Jian's surname is Ashde, and he has a very close relationship with the Turkic Khan Ashina clan, and for decades, the Ashid clan has been a descendant of the Ashina clan. Successive Turkic khans married the daughters of the chieftains of the Ashrid clan. Wei Su's soldiers are strong and strong, especially Shi Jian is brave and able to fight, and he is very prestigious among the Tiele tribes, especially Shi Jian has a more courageous son, Nashi De Bodhisattva, who is young and is widely sung and is known as the first warrior of Tiele.

Sitting in a large tent, Yi lost his bowl with a brazier in front of him, and was dressed in a silk robe. His long hair was braided and tied back at the back of his head, and a dove-sized ruby hung from his forehead on a silver chain. He had a silver knife in his hand. Without hurry, he cut the mutton slices from the roasted golden lamb in front of him, cut off a thin slice of meat, put it in a salt bowl and dipped it gently, and then put it in his mouth.

"Well, delicious." Otoshi closed his eyes and sighed, an expression of enjoyment on his face.

In front of him was his son Yi Nan. With bronzed skin, the body is strong. With fine eyes and a coercion on his body, Yi Nan was a little too weak, and he was also wearing a Han-style silk robe. But a white bear skin was added outside, and the hair was not braided but directly tied in a bun according to the Han hairstyle, and the face was extremely white, making it hard to believe that this was the eldest son of the chief of the Xue Yantuo tribe, a strong clan on the grassland. Yi Nan was also eating meat, but instead of slicing the whole sheep with a knife like his father, he sat upright, with a porcelain plate with a bright glaze in front of him, and a piece of beef was on the plate. He held a silver fork in his left hand and a silver knife in his right hand. Slowly, he cut the fried steak with a sawing knife, and then took a fork in his left hand to put the cut beef into his mouth. He even had a white cloth tied around his neckline, and his movements were slow and orderly. The meat is cut into very small pieces, eaten in small bites, and a piece of medium-cooked beef with blood and water is eaten.

When the beef was served, there was no blood on the outside, only a very beautiful burnt tan, and the surface was oozing with sweet gravy, tender and watery. Quite tempting. The silver knife cut it, and what was cut was not a shocking bright red raw meat. Rather, it is tender pink flesh. After the entrance, it will moisten and melt when chewed gently, leaving a mouthful of fresh and sweet aftertaste, so the medium-cooked beef is truly the best in the world. Paired with the mellow and attractive red wine, it is a rare enjoyment. Yi lost the bowl is very unhappy with his son Yi Nan's style, eating meat is like a girl, how can he have half a point of the spirit of a grassland warrior, as soon as he thinks of the heroic appearance of the son Bodhisattva of Wei Su Shijian who he has seen before, he is more and more dissatisfied with his son's style.

If it weren't for the bright red color of the beef his son ate, he would have felt that his son was not completely girly, and he would have the urge to jump up and smash him into the plate.

He regretted in his heart that he shouldn't have let his son go to the famine, he went to the famine for more than half a year, and after he came back, his son completely changed. It turned out that he was just a little thin, but now he can't find the temperament of a prairie man at all.

"Father, you should repay this medium-rare fried steak, it is really very delicious, especially when paired with this Huaihuang specialty red wine, it is even more delicious in the world." Yi Shibo snorted coldly, it's not that he can't see that this beef is delicious, and it's not that he doesn't want to pay for it, but he just can't see this way of eating. It's so complicated to eat a meat, it's a knife and a fork, and there is more than one knife, and all kinds of knives can't be mixed when eating, and it's troublesome to death. Especially with such a beautiful plate with only a small piece of meat, you can't eat enough at all. But he still has to put two wild vegetable leaves on the plate, and he is not a sheep, so does he still have to eat grass? Eat little by little, eat little by little, and wrap around a dinner cloth, if he also changes this way of eating, this will be spread, will the image of his great leader be gone, and will the warriors of the tribe still be able to believe in him and respect him in the future?

Besides, although the red wine is good, he prefers white wine, and his neck is strong enough, which is what the warriors of the steppe need, spirits, strong horses, and strong enough women.

"Lao Tzu will never eat like you, like a. Eating meat, eating wine, and playing with women is Lao Tzu's preference. Yi lost the bowl and replied unceremoniously.

Yi Nan heard his dissatisfaction from his father's words, but he didn't care, put a small piece of pink beef fork in his mouth, took another sip of red wine, and said with a smile: "Father, you only see the surface, not the inside." ”

"What do you mean?" B asked.

Yi Nan continued to cut the meat, and said with a smile: "Father, do you know, after I went to Huaihuang last time, it was really an eye-opener, Huaihuang, it is really a magical place. ”

He also went to the Central Plains, to the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, to the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Chang'an, and even to the prosperous Luoyang, Taiyuan and other places, the civilization of the Han people in the Central Plains is indeed prosperous, there are tall cities, crowds of people, endless business travelers on the road, there are all kinds of goods and goods in the market, as well as all kinds of food and wine, beautiful women, etc., but these did not let him get lost in the prosperity of the Central Plains. He even hated and disdained this way of life of the Han people in the Central Plains. They built the Great Wall, built the city, built the Great Wall longer and longer, and built the city taller and stronger, but the more this happened, the more he felt that the Han people were like the flock, and they were all cowardly in nature.

The Han people only know how to farm and farm, the nobles only know how to enjoy and enjoy themselves, and even their army spends most of their time farming.

How can people live like this, people should be like the warriors on the grassland, galloping on horseback, hunting and fighting, and pursuing bravery, instead of just digging in the soil all their lives and hiding behind the castle.

"No matter how lively Huaihuang is, it's just like that, and no matter how lively it is, it can't change the fact that these Han people are just a flock of cowardly sheep. And we are all wolves on the grassland, we must maintain our ferocious nature, and we must not be confused and corrupted by the extravagant things of the Han people. The wolf can never learn the way of life of the sheep. Yi lost the bowl and taught his son a lesson.

"I don't recognize these words, not all Han people are sheep, and not all grassland people are wolves. I haven't been to other places in the Central Plains, but I've lived in Huaihuang for half a year, and I've seen a lot of differences in Huaihuang, so I don't think that the people in Huaihuang are cowardly, and I don't think their way of life is wrong. In fact, if you put aside your prejudices and carefully collect and watch the recent changes in Huaihuang, you will believe that what I say is the truth. Today Huai Huang is by no means cowardly, and on the contrary, he is braver and wiser than most of the tribes of the steppe I have ever seen. It has only been a year since the establishment of Xinhuaihuang, but in this short period of time, they have defeated opponents who were stronger than them again and again. One or two times can be said to be a fluke, but victory after victory, can't it still attract our attention? Huaihuang rose in such a short period of time, they can fight a good war, and they are long in business, and Huaihuang has been built so strong and rich in a short period of time, I think this is not cowardly and incompetent, but strong, very powerful, and therefore very worthy of our learning.
