Chapter 396: Snowy Night Four

In the seventeenth year of the emperor's reign, the Persian king Kuslow II sent troops to invade the Datou subordinate vassals and Kushan, and Datou personally commanded an army of 300,000 to rescue, crossed the Wuhu River, broke the Persian army, and finally achieved a decisive victory in the Persian war. Datou finally relieved his worries, and turned the defense into an offensive for the Great Khan in the east, and moved his troops to the east.

Dabo gathered the troops of the three khans of Nili Khan, Panna Khan, and Tuli Khan, plus his own army of the Khan of the west, and the four khans besieged Dulan. One of them, Nili Khan, is the son of Apo Khan's brother, and is also a wooden pole line, after Apo's death, inherited the feudal territory from Jinshan to the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and the Gaochang Kingdom.

Du Lan asked the Sui Dynasty for help, but the Sui Dynasty did not send troops to help because he was dissatisfied with Du Lan's many expressions, but only sent two envoys to both sides to proclaim and mediate.

This war ended with the defeat of Dulan.

What made Princess Anyi pay attention to it was that in this battle. As the great khan of the Turkic Khanate, Dulan Khan can be said to be embattled, all the people rebelled and separated, six small khans sealed the country, and four of them raised troops to attack him. Even Tuli, who is also a cousin of the Koro family, also sent troops to attack Dulan.

Princess Anyi knew some of the imperial court's tactics against the Turks, that is, to merge the weak and separate the strong, and constantly divide. For example, in the east, the pro-Sui Tuli Khan replaced the Dulan Khan. And to the west, support the Nili Khan and replace the Datou Khan. The immediate goal of the imperial court was to have the Turkic tribes attack each other, and the medium-term goal was to formally divide the Turkic Khanate into the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates, not just the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates. The long-term goal was to split the Turkic Eastern and Western Khanates into the Seven Turkic Khanates. Or more Little Khanates, forever weakening the nomadic regimes of the North.

Tuli was very interested in the position of the Great Khan. This is also the reason why he was able to accept the Sui Dynasty Zhao'an and marry the princess of the Sui Dynasty. The purpose is naturally to get the support of the Great Sui and replace Dulan. It's just that the development of the current situation makes Princess Anyi feel a little too fast, Du Lan, the great khan, is not the opponent of Datou Khan at all, when Datou completely freed his hands in the Western Regions, Du Lan really showed that his father Sha Bolu Khan's evaluation of him was cowardly and incompetent, he couldn't beat Datou at all, and he didn't even know who was his backer, and he went to offend the Sui Dynasty because of the princess.

But because of Du Lan's incompetence, he was able to do many unexpectedly undisciplined things.

For example, after the defeat in the war with Datou last year. Du Lan has already succumbed to Datou. And after the Sui Dynasty revealed last year that it wanted to crusade against him and replace him as the Great Khan with Tuli, Du Lan directly demoted Datou quite simply and without discipline, and gave up the position of Great Khan to Datou. The condition is that Datou must have troops to help him destroy Tuli, and then make him the title of Eastern Khan and Second Khan.

Princess Anyi couldn't think of anyone who would make such a decision, but Dulan Khan did it, and Datou agreed.

As a result, the Tuli Khan, who was originally wandering on both sides of the Sui Dynasty and Datou, wanted to take advantage of the situation to take Du Lan and replace him. Utter tragedy.

Whether it's Du Lan or Datou, now he has to be destroyed first and then quickly.

Princess Anyi thought to herself that the plan she had made had undoubtedly failed. In the current situation, it is impossible for Tuli to replace Dulan. Because no one could have imagined that Du Lan would finally take such a step, this led to the two groups of Du Lan and Datou, who were originally on the other side, and quickly united into one. And Tuli, the traitor who led the way. Immediately become the first enemy to be eliminated by this new group.

"Khan, wait for the blizzard to stop. Let's go now. Princess Anyi said.

"yes, I know." Tuli replied as he chewed on the mutton.

"Khan. I'm not talking about the original plan, but as soon as the snow stops, the Khan immediately takes the Shaoli Jing cavalry guards on the road, leaving the people of the tribes alone. ”

"What?" Ashina thought that he had misheard, and stopped the knife in his hand in surprise and asked.

Princess Anyi explained to Ran Gan, "In the current situation, Du Lan and Datou have been united, and no one on the grassland can beat them. What the Khan had to do now was to go to the Great Sui Emperor for help, asking them to send troops against Dulan and Datou, and only the Sui army could defeat them. If the khan wanted to move to the Sui realm with these hundreds of thousands of tribal herdsmen and warriors, it would be impossible. No matter what the weather is, we are too late, it is too far away, and the soldiers and horses of Datou and Dulan may catch up at any time. As the saying goes, the green mountains left behind, are not afraid of no firewood. Even if these tribes stay, when the Khan of Tari leads the Great Sui army back from the Northern Expedition, they will definitely return to you, so why take the risk of taking them with you now? "Princess Anyi knows that it doesn't matter whether Tuli has soldiers or horses, for the Sui Dynasty, the most important thing for Tuli is his identity, the identity of his Koro descendant, the identity of his son of Mohe Khan, and the identity of his northern Khan. It doesn't matter how many soldiers he has or how many herdsmen he has. If the imperial court wants to crusade against the Turks, naturally there are soldiers and horses, and what the imperial court lacks is only a khan with enough prestige among the Turks, a person who can influence the Turks, and a person who can become an agent of the Turks of the Sui Dynasty.

Princess Anyi knew the reason why she married into the Turks, and she was used as a tool to contact such an agent. Although it sounds ruthless, it is the truth, but she did not oppose or even resent the Sui Dynasty because of it.

Tuli sat there speechless. He naturally understood what He said, but he was absolutely unwilling to leave his clan and army and flee to the Sui Dynasty. In that case, he is nothing, nothing. He wanted to be the Great Khan of the Turks, not the concubine of the Sui Dynasty.

At this moment, an attendant who was waiting in the outer tent lifted the curtain and reported: "Khan, the sentry has reported that a detachment of men and horses has come from the west, and is coming straight to our camp." ”

Tuli listened to some doubts, who would come at this time, could it be the warriors of other tribes, but didn't he already send someone to tell them to wait for the snowstorm to come and gather?

"Who is it, this is about to be a blizzard, come here at this time?"

"The wind and snow are too big, I can't see clearly, it seems that there are hundreds of people, as if they are from a small tribe, driving a carriage with cattle and sheep."

Could it be that some small tribe that had not received an order had arrived according to the previous retreat plan?

At this moment he heard a chaotic sound of horses' hooves and noisy voices outside, the wind was strong, the snow was thick, the horses' hooves, footsteps and shouts were not as clear as they had been before, but he could still hear what was happening.

"Call a few people over and have a look?" Turri felt that something was wrong.

Several guards nodded their heads, and after a while, the noise above was getting louder and louder, and even fires could be seen rushing up.

"Report, Khan, the enemy attacked, it was the attached cavalry of the Datou Khan, they, they killed me?"

Tu Liteng stood up and grabbed the man's robe, "How is this possible, how many people are coming?" ”

"A lot, a lot of people, there were people everywhere outside the camp. They began to send hundreds of people disguised as small tribes to assemble, raided and captured the camp gate, and the enlarged cavalry entered. The guards reported in horror.

"It can't be." Turri dropped the guard, picked up his cutlass and pulled it out, holding it in his hand and rushing out. Princess Anyi grabbed him.

"Don't worry, princess, I'll go back as soon as I go, and a bunch of mongrels will dare to come to my camp."

"Don't go." Although Princess Anyi didn't know how many people came from outside, she knew that those who came were not good, and those who were good did not come. Otherwise, how could the other party kill in. The other party must have been prepared, and the princess doesn't care if the Turkic people can repel the other party, she only thinks about the worst now, the situation of the Turks has become more and more erosive, Du Lan and Da Tou have united, or Du Lan has surrendered to Da Tou, Da Tou has become the great khan of the Turks, and the Turks are likely to reunite and end the civil strife, which is an extremely unfavorable situation for the Great Sui.

What she was thinking about now was how to keep Tuli and bring this important figure back to the Sui Dynasty, instead of letting him continue to fight on the grassland.

The Turks are even more important in the control of the imperial court, and with a Turki in hand, the imperial court can intervene in the affairs of the Turks in a straightforward manner, and use the influence of the Turks to divide the Turks.

"Khan, remember what I just said, in the current situation, it is useless to continue to stay here. The khan immediately left, went to the Great Sui, and asked the Great Sui Emperor to send troops back. ”

Tuli was still hesitating, the shouting outside was getting louder and louder, more and more tents were on fire, the fire borrowed the wind, the wind helped the fire, and the heat in the camp soon illuminated half of the sky.

"Let's go!" The princess shouted again.

Tuli clenched his sword and gritted his teeth, refusing to answer.

"Khan, the enemy who came was very fierce, all of them were elite cavalry, it seems, there were at least 5,000 people, they came so suddenly, we were unprepared, and the brethren could not resist. And they set fires everywhere, today the wind is very strong, the fire burns very fast, it can't be extinguished, the camp is finished. A general hurried in to report the latest military situation.

Tuli looked at the general, then at the princess, then at the camp, and finally gritted his teeth, "The camp will be handed over to you, and you will be in charge of the full command to meet these sons of bitches." ”

"Yes!" The general took the order and left.

When the general left, Tuli called a few more guards, "Go and get a few agents at once, and then call my guards and cavalry." ”

When only two people were left in the tent, Tuli and the princess sighed, "I hope the princess is right." ”
