Due to the delicate balance between several forces, the Tiger Alliance was able to control the deserted city and the grassland of Bashang for several years.

But now, that balance has been broken.

The Eastern Turks, who had been defeated and attached to the Sui Dynasty in the Turkic civil strife, had regained their strength again after more than ten years of recuperation. This also made the Sui Dynasty begin to change its strategy towards the Eastern Turks, when Mo He took advantage of the defeat of the Western Turks under the banner of Sui and captured the Apo Khan of the Western Turks, the Sui Dynasty had already changed its support for the Eastern Turks as a precaution. They did not directly kill Apo as the Eastern Turks intended, but released Apo in order to contain the Eastern Turks' recovery and expansion. This made the Eastern Turks very unhappy, but fortunately, the brave and resourceful Mohe Khan died in the subsequent Western Expedition, and the Eastern Turks replaced Yongyu Lu, who was once considered too weak by Sha Bo Luo Khan, Yong Yu Lu is the son of Sha Bo Luo Khan, the nephew of Mo He Khan, and Sha Bo Luo did not pass the Khan throne to his son Yongyu Lu but to his younger brother Mo He, who thought that this son was too weak. Now Mo He passed the throne to his nephew Yongyu Lu, and Yongyu Lu succeeded to the throne as Dulan Khan, which made the Sui Dynasty breathe a sigh of relief. The already fierce contradictions eased a little, and the Tiger League was able to continue to control the famine for several years.

But at this time, although Dulan Khan was not a hero, there had been no war for many years, and the Eastern Turks were still inevitably strong again. Especially after Yang Jian forced Du Lan to kill his stepmother, Princess Kehedun, which made the relationship between Du Lan and the Sui Dynasty even more tense. Princess Qianjin is the daughter of Zhao Wang Yu Wenzhao of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, during the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Tubo Khan asked to marry the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty set the daughter of Zhao Wang Yu Wenzhao and the pro-Turk, and named the princess of Qianjin. But I haven't waited to get married yet. He Bo Khan died, and the newly enthroned Sha Bolu Khan sent an envoy to marry the princess. In the second year of Princess Qianjin's marriage to the Turks, Yang Jian usurped the throne of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Princess Qianjin's father, Yuwen Zhao, was exterminated for raising troops against the Sui.

Princess Qianjin begged Sha Bolu to send troops to take revenge, Sha Bolu was the lord of the Turks at this time, and also regarded the Sui Dynasty that unified the north as a danger to his henchmen, so he raised 400,000 troops to attack Sui under the pretext that he was a relative of Yuwen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Yang Jian took the building of Changsun Sheng. To stir up the Turkic tribes by divisiveness. The Sui Dynasty's divisive plan was a great success, and the uncles and nephews of Sha Bo Luo Khan rebelled one after another, and Sha Bo Luo suffered from the enemy. Stuck in trouble. The Turks fell into a civil war, and the Sui Dynasty took the opportunity to send the Eighth Route Army to counterattack Sha Bolu, and united with several other Turks to defeat Sha Bolu, and the Turks were divided into two. There were six khans of the Eastern and Western Turks. It was divided into two major alliances, and the five major khans divided the forces. At that time, Sha Bo was surrounded by a group of other Turkic khans, and the Great Sui in the south only targeted Sha Bo Liu.

At this time, Sha Boluo had no choice but to ask Princess Qianjin to write a letter to Yang Jian, asking to be the daughter of the Great Sui Emperor. At this time, Yang Jian felt that the Sui State was at the beginning of its establishment and the Turks were still strong, so he pushed the boat down the river. accepted the princess as a righteous daughter and changed her title to the princess of righteousness. And so it goes. Sha Boluo immediately changed from the son-in-law of the Yuwen family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the son-in-law of the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty, so naturally he no longer had to avenge the Northern Zhou, he confessed to the Sui Dynasty and attached himself to the Sui Dynasty to deal with the attacks of the remaining Turkic khans with all his might.

In the seventh year of the emperor's reign, Sha Bolu died, and according to Turkic customs, she remarried the son of Sha Bolu. Mohe Khan reigned for only one year and died, Du Lan succeeded to the throne of Khan, and the princess became the Eastern Turkic Kehedun. In the ninth year of the emperor's reign, after Yang Jian destroyed Chen, he gave Princess Qianjin a bronze mirror used by Empress Chen, but the princess was sad for a while and inscribed a poem on the screen. The pen in this poem is very good, so it has been handed down. There is a sentence in the poem, "Yu Ben royal son, drifting into the court", I don't know if the 'court' in the princess's poem refers to the Turkic or Sui Dynasty, or both, but Yang Jian thinks it refers to the Sui Dynasty. Princess Dayi actually dared to describe the Sui Dynasty as so unbearable, her national hatred and family feud were so strong, Yang Jian was furious, secretly thinking that Princess Dayi might provoke Dulan Khan to declare war with the Sui Dynasty at any time, and he decided to get rid of this hidden danger.

In the thirteenth year of the emperor's reign, Yang Qin, a Han man who wandered to the Turks, claimed that he was a confidant sent by Princess Xihe, the aunt of Princess Dayi, and that Princess Xihe and her husband planned to jointly send troops with the Turks to destroy the Sui and restore the country. The vengeful princess believed it and persuaded Dulan Khan to agree to send troops. Yang Jian soon learned of this and sent Changsun Sheng to the Turks to arrest Yang Qin, although Dulan Khan refused to admit it, and Princess Dayi also angrily scolded the Sui envoy, but Yang Jian still took the opportunity to issue an edict to abolish the title of princess of Dayi.

In order to get rid of the troubles forever, the Sui Dynasty began to contact the little Khan in the north of the Eastern Turks, saying that as long as they could get rid of the princess of Dayi, the Sui Dynasty would marry a princess to him. Ran Gan was the son of Mohe Khan, who ruled the Mobei region of the Eastern Turks, and was also a powerful prince, who had long been ambitious and wanted to get the support of the Sui Dynasty to replace Dulan. After getting the promise of the Sui Dynasty, he sent people to spread rumors that Princess Dayi had an adulterous affair with a Han man in the Khan's court, and this matter was spreading, and finally Dulan Khan, who heard this rumor, angrily raised his sword and rushed into Princess Dayi's tent and killed her directly.

However, Du Lan soon regretted it again, and knew that this matter was planned by the Sui Dynasty behind the scenes, and he did it, so he held a grudge against the Sui Dynasty.

Dyeing and drying design got rid of the righteous princess, and the Sui Dynasty really fulfilled its promise, not only marrying the daughter of the clan to dye dry, but also making things very grand and giving dyeing dry.

Du Lan became more and more angry, so there was a matter of gathering people from various departments last year.

This matter seems to have nothing to do with the Tiger League, but on the border, the game between the Sui Dynasty and Dulan Khan is directly related to the survival of the Tiger League. At the beginning, the Tiger League was able to occupy Huaihuang and control the grassland on the dam entirely because of the "friendly relations" between the Turks and the Sui, and because the Eastern Turks were dependent on the Sui Dynasty, they tolerated and ignored a nail that the Sui Dynasty had planted in their territory. But now that Du Lan has turned against the Sui Dynasty, how can he continue to tolerate the Tiger League occupying such an important place as Huaihuang and controlling the grassland on the dam with abundant water and grass?

The covetousness of the Bayegu people is only a prelude, and the greatest crisis of the LTTE will come from the Eastern Turks.

Once Du Lan wants to pull out their nails, they may face extinction at any time.

Under such circumstances, if the LTTE is still mired in internal power struggles, there is no hope at all.

Time was pressing, and Ling Yun didn't have time to take his time with Zhang Sheng and the others. Only by quickly clearing out the opposition forces of the Tiger Alliance, uniting all the forces of the Tiger Alliance, and then relying on the Sui Dynasty behind the Great Wall, can it be possible to survive the following storm. Although Ling Yun can also ignore the Tiger Alliance, or even walk away.

But he couldn't leave, not only because the LTTE was where he had lived and fought, but also because there were many brothers and friends who had fought side by side with him before. What's more important is that Ling Yun's mood has changed a lot after Yang Guang gave Ji Yao away. This made him deeply understand that in this era, he still has to have his own strength. Without strength, there is no right to speak. He doesn't have the strength, so Yang Guang can give away his woman at will. He didn't have the strength, so the peaceful life in Yangzhou was broken.

If you want to have the right to speak, you have to have strength.

For Ling Yun, the Tiger Alliance is the place where he accumulates strength. If you miss it, there will be no next one. He can't give up the Tigers, he can't run away from retreating.

The Tigers have territory, people and horses, as long as they use snacks, this place can become their biggest support. For Zhang Sheng, these roadblockers, he can only be ruthless.

Originally, the Gao family was also a big force, but the Gao family's territory was in Liaodong, and it was actually dependent on the Goguryeo people. There, it is difficult to develop, and in the Gao family, he is just a son-in-law, far inferior to the shape of the Tiger League.

Ling Yun frowned slightly, staring at the northeast direction, Zhang Sheng was about fifty miles away from them.

Left and right made Ling Hengyue and Liu Ge stand behind Ling Yun, wanting to speak and stopping.

Ling Yun turned around, "Say what you want to say." ”

Ling Hengyue looked at Ling Yun for a while, and then said, "The two thousand people who followed Zhang Sheng's side are all brothers in the alliance. ”

Ling Yun sighed lightly, "I didn't mean to send the brothers to death, otherwise I wouldn't have come all the way with everyone." ”

Liu Ge frowned, "Then why does the alliance leader still let Zhang Sheng command the troops" Shan Xiongxin and other generals of the internal army are not from the Tiger Alliance, so they don't care about the life or death of Zhang Sheng and the others at all. And although Liu Ge Ling Hengyue is a general of the Murong family, he is also an old man in the alliance. They can ignore the life and death of Zhang Sheng and others, but it is impossible to ignore the 2,000 people who sent troops with Zhang Sheng. They also guessed that Ling Yun was going to kill people with a knife in order to get rid of Zhang Sheng and the others, but they couldn't sit back and watch Ling Yun bury the rest of the brothers together.

"What the hell is the right envoy trying to say?" Ling Yun asked.

Liu Ge plucked up his courage and said loudly: "Alliance leader, I know that Zhang Sheng and others have always opposed the alliance leader, and if the alliance leader wants to get rid of Zhang Sheng and others, we have no objection." But those brothers are innocent, these are brothers for many years, living and dying side by side. ”

He was already questioning Ling Yun's status in the rivers and lakes, Ling Yun sighed lightly, "Don't worry, I, Ling Yun, am not the kind of person who will do anything to eliminate dissent." A certain has been hiding the news of the internal army in order to keep it secret and prevent the people of Bayo Gu from being prepared. Let Zhang Sheng lead the brothers in the alliance, in fact, he just wanted to use this as bait to lure the wild people to take the bait. I didn't tell the brothers because I was afraid that if they knew about it, it might not have that effect. "Even the former army was deceived, and at that time, the Baye Gu people must have been deceived together. If the front army knows that there is an elite army behind, they will inevitably have some flaws in their actions at that time. If you let the people of Baye Gu see it, how can they take the bait.
