Chapter 131: The Turkic Reaction

Time has entered June of the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign in a blink of an eye.

Yang Jian, the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, issued an edict to depose the official title of Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo, and Yang Liang, the king of Han, and Gao Gong, the left servant of Shangshu, and Wang Shiji, the marshal of the march, gathered more than 200,000 horses and marched at Linyu Pass, and swore to go on the expedition. Zhou Luohu, the chief of the water division, gathered tens of thousands of sailors in Dengzhou and set off from the sea to attack Liao!

An army of 300,000 on land and water directed at Liaodong.

The 300,000 army conquered Liao, and the mighty military power did make all the tribes in the north low-key a lot. Everyone is worried that if they accidentally provoke the Great Sui, they will attract the Great Sui Iron Cavalry to roll over. At this time, the Great Sui was proud of the world, and fought in the east and west and the south and the north, and never lost a single defeat.

At this time, seeing the 300,000 Eastern Expedition of the Great Sui to Goguryeo, many people thought that the destruction of Goguryeo was imminent. The Khan of the Tuyuhun Khanate in the northwest was killed, and the younger brother of the original Khan succeeded to the new Khan, and the above Great Sui expressed his continued submission and asked to marry Princess Guanghua, the sister-in-law of the previous Khan, and the Great Sui allowed it. And last year, Dulan Khan failed to marry a princess of the Sui Dynasty, but the Sui Dynasty married a princess to the little Khan of Tuli. Xi', Khitan, and Xia were all attached to the Sui.

Everyone was not optimistic about Goguryeo, believing that the 300,000 Sui army could defeat Goguryeo in one fell swoop and capture the king of Goryeo, Gao Yuan, and return to Daxing.

Even the Eastern Turkic Dulan Khan was intimidated by the might of the Great Sui Army at this time and did not dare to move lightly. Although he heard that Huaihuang Town had changed frequently recently, and the new leader of the Huaihuang Tiger Alliance actually killed all the 1,000 Baye Gu people he had summoned to the south, he did not respond immediately.

"Great Khan. Let me take the children to set foot in the Huai Famine, these bandits have been stealing the Huai Famine for several years, and we have not touched him. They really thought that they had it, and they really responded to the words of the Han people, there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings. A young agent of the Ashina family said while standing in the Golden Wolf tent of Dulan Khan.

"Yes, we were worried about the reaction of the Sui Dynasty before, but now that the Sui Dynasty insulted us so much, we don't have to worry about these anymore. Dye the shameless man to act as Yang Jian's eyes and ears. After a few ventilated reports, we can't enter the south of the Great Wall for a while, so can we still take this little famine outside the plug? Destroy the Tigers. Just kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys. "It was the man who spoke of the twenty-eight rank positions of the Turkic Khanate, a mid-level position in the twenty-eight ranks of the Turkic Khanate, a military general, and at the same time the head of a small tribe attached to the Turkic Khanate. Previously, he led the warriors of his tribe to invade the south with Dulan. As a result, it was counterattacked by the Sui Border Army. Hundreds of men and horses were lost. I have always been on fire in my heart, and now I heard that the Han bandits in Huaihuang north of Daning actually annihilated a thousand people and horses in Bayedu, and I couldn't help but feel alive. He heard that Bayedu had raided the small tribes of the Xi tribe in the Huaihuang area, plundered nearly 10,000 people, and countless cattle, horses, money, and silks, but in the end, he was raided by the Han bandits in Huaihuang Town, and all the people were killed. They were all taken away by those Khans. That's a lot of money, he thinks. The defeat of the Baye Du army could never be that the group of bandits in Huai Huang was very strong, it could only be that they underestimated the enemy.

And some of the news he got that Bayodu was divided into three roads with a thousand men and horses at that time, but they were broken by these Han thieves and thieves. Can't you cheapen those Han thieves, but can you get the Khan's consent and allow him to lead troops there, with the 3,000 soldiers under his command, are you afraid that you can't destroy a small group of Han thieves? Over the years, Lan Khan has not allowed them to cause trouble in Huaihuang, and let those thieves occupy Huaihuang for many years in vain. Now that the Khan and the Sui Dynasty have torn their faces, it is time to take these Han thieves with famine. I heard that a large number of Han people have lived there in Huaihuang City in recent years, with a population of more than 100,000. This is a fat sheep, if it can be killed, even if most of the captured population, money and food are handed over to Dulan Khan, it will definitely be drawn.

Dulan Khan sat on a wolfskin chair with a gloomy face, and did not speak, but only held a sharp knife to cut the roasted golden dripping roast leg of lamb.

He was indeed very dissatisfied with the Sui Dynasty, and eleven years ago, when he finally inherited the throne that should have belonged to him from his uncle, he also married his stepmother, the Khan of Sha Bo Liu, and the princess of Qianjin who came to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, according to Turkic customs. Although Princess Qianjin is his stepmother, he likes this Central Plains woman very much, knowledgeable and courteous, gentle and beautiful, compared to those tribal women on the grassland who are full of sheep's smell, this noble Central Plains princess does like him more. But such a beloved woman, in the end, because she offended Yang Jian, she was instigated by Yang Jian to dye the little Khan of Tuli, set up a conspiracy, and killed herself without excitement and anger. Originally, if you kill it, you will kill it, although Princess Qianjin is a princess, but if Yang Jian is willing to give him another princess, it will make up for it. But the damned Yang Jian actually rejected his proposal, not only that, but he rejected the proposal of the dignified Eastern Turkic Khan, but he took the initiative to promise a princess to the damn dye gan. also made the marriage so grand and grand, which is a great insult to him. You must know that he is the Great Khan of the Eastern Turks, and Dye Gan is just a little Khan of the North under him. Yang Jian rejected his Great Khan's proposal, but promised the princess to the little Khan below, what is this not a blatant slap in the face?

You must know that now is no longer the Eastern Turks when his father Shabalu Khan was defeated, when his father was the Great Khan of the Turkic Khanate, and at that time the Turks had not yet been divided into two parts, the East and the West. In the third year of the emperor's reign, Sha Bolu Khan led an army of 400,000 to attack the Sui Dynasty in the south, but the Sui Dynasty played Yin, taking advantage of the special situation of the Turkic six khans and the five major forces at that time, to persuade Apo Khan and Datou Khan to rebel, Sha Bolu led his troops to crusade, and as a result, the Sui army sent troops to unite Apo and Datou to jointly confront, and finally Sha Bolu was defeated and had to make peace with the Sui Dynasty. After four years, his father Sha Bo Luo died, and did not pass the throne to him, but passed it to his uncle Chu Luo Hou, who was enthroned as Mohe Khan, and defeated Apo by the banner of the Sui Dynasty, but unfortunately the Sui Dynasty jumped out to stop Mohe Khan when he wanted to reunify the khanate, and saved Apo's life, and continued to divide the Turks. At that time, it was said that Mohe Khan was assassinated by a Turkic traitor who was bribed by the Sui people, in order to stop Mohe Khan's expedition and restore the unified Turkic Khanate. After Mo He's death, the great situation of the Eastern Turks was lost all of a sudden, and after he succeeded to the throne, the Sui Dynasty has been suppressing the Eastern Turks. In the early years, the Sui Dynasty supported the Western Turks to suppress the Eastern Turks, and now they support the Turks under him, clearly wanting to replace themselves with dyeing and drying.

I think that at the beginning, when the Tuobo Khan was in power, the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi had to compete to curry favor with the Turks, compete for tribute, and compete for peace. But now, the situation is completely reversed, Yang Jian divided the Turks, played a balance between the Eastern and Western Turks, combined the weak and the strong, the powerful Turkic Khanate has been in civil strife, and the Han people in the Central Plains have become the fathers of the Turkic warriors, this contrast makes Dulan Khan unbearable. Especially now, Yang Jian has become more and more excessive, killing his wife, and picking out his cousins to replace his sweat position, is it tolerable, which is unbearable.

He can't endure it like this anymore, he can't be toyed with like this by the Sui people anymore, he has to fight back.

However, he has endured it for so many years, and last year's failure to attack the border made him discover a problem. The Sui people have a good saying, if you go outside, you must first settle inside. If you want to defeat the Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains, you must first unify the grasslands. However, over the years, both the Eastern and Western Turks wanted to unify each other, but the more so, the weaker they became, and the more they were played by the Sui Dynasty. Perhaps, it's time to think differently. The Datou Khan of the Western Turks is strong, and it is difficult to conquer the other side by himself, not to mention that there is a Sui Dynasty on the side, and at every critical time, the Sui Dynasty will inevitably unite the weak and the strong, preventing them from unifying the Turks. He thought about it, and it was difficult to conquer the Western Turks. Since this is the case, then join forces with the Western Turks and destroy the Sui Dynasty first. No, he should join forces with Da Tou and destroy the dog mongrel Tuli first, he is not worthy of being called a member of the Ashina family. If you want to seize his throne, let him die first. United Datou, first destroyed Tuli, divided his population, cattle and horses, and then dealt with the Sui Dynasty together.

The Turkic warriors have been fighting each other for too long, and their own blood is being shed too much. If they continue to kill like this, the Turks will be ridden by the Sui Dynasty forever.

It's time for the Eastern and Western Turks to put aside their old grievances, unite and deal with the Sui people together, go south to the Central Plains, and rob the population and wealth of the Central Plains. They also want to set up a few emperors in the Central Plains, let them kill each other, busy with civil war, and can no longer oppress the Turks.

Thinking of this, Dulan Khan Yongyu Lu became excited, his face flushed, and his breathing was short. He slammed the knife in his hand into the table and slammed it into the wood.

"Shut up!" Du Lan shouted. These rat-eyed guys can only see so shallowly.

"Let's let those southern barbarians in Huaihuang be proud for some time, what is there to keep an eye on with this kind of small fish and shrimp. You have to take a long-term view, and don't lose a flock for the sake of a lamb. Du Lan sneered, now that the king of Goguryeo has angered Yang Jian, the 300,000 troops of the Great Sui are marching eastward, which in his opinion, it is the opportunity of the Turks to come. Let Yang Jian go to the east, and the two tigers of Dasui and Goryeo will fight, and they will have a chance. For now, it is best for them to keep a low profile, so that Yang Jian thinks that they are scared and afraid, and when they are arrogant, let them know the power of the Turkic warriors.

"Ashina social force special service, Ah Besli is a catty." Du Lan named the second general who was going to fight Huaihuang just now, "Don't be in a hurry to fight Huaihuang first, Ben Khan has given you a task, bring my letters and gifts, and go to the Western Regions to meet Datou Khan." After you return from this mission, Ben Khan will let the two of you lead your troops to level the famine, and the money, food, people, cattle and horses obtained by that time will not be taken by Ben Khan, and it will all belong to you and the two. ”

When Ashina Sheli Special Service and Ah Besli heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed.

"Then for the time being, let these southern barbarian thieves be arrogant for a few days, haha!" (To be continued......)
