Turkic steppe.

Turly handsome.

With the demise of Ashina Congli, Jieli decided to back down and abandon the Shuobei grassland.

This move caused an uproar in the grassland, and Tuli took this opportunity to spread public opinion offensive.

The belonging of the Mobei grassland, this is a messy link that is not cleaned up.

In fact, it is also a sentence, the strong are respected, and whoever is strong is whomever it is. According to the earliest records, the Shuobei grassland should be the dog Rong country, and later the rise of the Xiongnu became owned by the Xiongnu, and the Qin, Han and Sui dynasties had taken the Shuobei grassland as a ready-to-have, but when they were down, the grassland people forcibly occupied the past. Just like the disputed territories of later generations. Both the Central Plains and the Prairie people regard this place as their own.

Jieli's abandonment of the Shuobei Grassland is tantamount to giving the Shuobei Grassland to the Tang Dynasty, which is undoubtedly a traitorous act. Even in ancient times, this kind of behavior was extremely despicable.

Jieli's strength was greatly reduced due to the demise of Ashina Congli, and now he gave the Turkic territory to his old enemy, the Tang Dynasty, which was even more suspicious, and had a sharp contrast with the Turkic tribes in full swing. For a time, rebelled against Jieli and defected to Tuli, which directly pushed Tuli to the peak of the grassland. So far, the strength of the Turks has really surpassed that of Jieli and has become the uncrowned king of the Turks.

Because of the expansion of strength, Tuli no longer left any leeway, and raised the wolf's head Daxu, who spent a lot of money from the Tang Dynasty to get back, and proclaimed himself the king of the Turkic Khan, standing tall with Jieli, dividing the northern steppe into two.

When Tuli was complacent, he received a slap in the face: the Tang Dynasty used the lack of iron as an excuse. The ratio of iron to cattle and horses has been doubled, and the ratio has tripled compared to the original ratio. As for sophisticated weapons, the ratio has been increased by a factor of five.

"Why didn't they come and grab it?" Tuli angrily shot the case. There was anger in his eyes: he was now the king of the Turkic Khan, and the troops and horses that could be mobilized in his hands were already superior to Jieli, and the steppe under his control was not inferior to the former. Now that Jieli is in danger from all sides, it is precisely when he takes advantage of the victory to pursue and establish the supremacy of the Turkic Khan in one fell swoop, and he needs a large number of iron weapons. But the Tang Dynasty came to such a hand at this critical time, which really made him panic in his heart.

"Damn! Damn the cunning Han people, wait until I destroy Jieli Lao'er. Sitting firmly on the throne of the King of Khan, you must look good! Tuli put down his cruel words, but his face was still worried. There is no way at all, the smelting technology of the Tang Dynasty is too sophisticated, and their Turks are far from being able to match it. The sharp weapons made in the Tang Dynasty are not only lethal. It is also durable. It's not easy to speak, but it's really easy to use. However, once the swords of the Tang Dynasty were broken, they did not have the smelting technology to re-forge and repair, and could only repair them in a rough way or with Turkic smelting technology, or even rebuild them in the furnace to restore the sharpness of the weapons.

This also destroys the texture of the weapon itself, resulting in a situation where the weapon becomes a decayed object.

Battles and battles. We should give full play to all our advantages in order to achieve victory with the most certainty.

In order to be able to win the next crucial battle again. Tuli plans to buy a large amount of weapons from the Tang Dynasty as a winning capital for the next time. But it seems that out of revenge for the last price increase, the Tang Dynasty used the same excuse to increase the proportion of huàn, and the increase was extremely exaggerated, which was unacceptable to them.

For a while, Tuli also felt regretful, and he shouldn't have had a showdown with the Tang Dynasty too early.

For the answer of the Tang Dynasty, the most angry was the Gelu Sili.

They had ill intentions and intended to kill people with knives and leave Luo Shixin on the grassland, but they let Luo Shixin strike first and kill them all.

For this reason, Gelulu Sili forced Tuli to put pressure on the Tang Dynasty, investigate clearly, and severely punish Luo Shixin.

As a result, the news came from the Tang Dynasty very calmly, after the meeting between Golulu and Luo Shixin, the two met and chatted happily for half a night, before saying goodbye. Perhaps on the way back to the tribe, he encountered a Turkic attack and the whole army was wiped out.

Datang insisted that this was the case, and they couldn't find evidence to prove it. Although he knew that Luo Shixin was the biggest suspect, he couldn't prove anything.

Tuli also had no choice but to comfort Gelulu Sili and persuade him to mourn and change.

Now that the Tang Dynasty has made things difficult for the Turks, the new hatred and old hatred of Gelulu Sili came to his heart, and he shouted angrily: "King Khan, this Li Tang is obviously playing tricks on us, and he didn't take us seriously, we must let them know that it is powerful." ”

Tu Li's eyes also flashed fiercely, and he snorted: "Don't worry, next year, as long as we clean up Jieli Lao'er, we will definitely gather the warriors of the whole clan and let Li Tang know." I, the Turks, are the most powerful people......"

Ge Lulu Sili also knew that this was not the time for a decisive battle with the Tang Dynasty, so he didn't say more, but when he thought of his son, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Good news, King Khan!"

When Tuli was worried about his relationship with the Tang Dynasty, he suddenly heard good news, and his spirit was shocked, and he asked the messenger to enter the big tent to speak.

A man in a somewhat strange costume strode into the tent.

Tuli recognized the man, his name was Liu Hu, although he had a Han name, he was an authentic Turk. Because he grew up in Sofang and was proficient in both Chinese, he was sent to Gyeongju to pay attention to Luo Shixin's movements. Because he has always made up the appearance of a Han person, he hurriedly changed to the appearance of a Turkic herdsman when he came to the grassland, which looks very strange.

"Could it be that Li Tang really gave up the Shuobei grassland as I hoped?" Tuli's eyes suddenly showed a fiery look.

Golulusi's expression was also moved, and a little greed flashed in his eyes.

Since the last time because of Luo Shixin's unintentional help, Tuli turned defeat into victory and defeated Jieli.

While pondering that Luo Shixin was the future rival of the Tang Turks, he planned to use Luo Shixin's power again to deal with Jieli, so he paid special attention to Luo Shixin's actions.

This Jieli withdrew from the Shuobei grassland, and in the face of the abundant grassland in Shuobei, Tuli was naturally more moved, and paid more attention to the movements of Shuofang Qingzhou to see if Datang was interested in that grassland. In a dynasty dominated by agriculture, pasture was far less important to them than field. If they don't look down on that meadow, wouldn't it be cheaper for him?

As for whether he will end up with Ashina Congli, Tuli is not so worried, after all, he is different from Jieli, no matter how he says it, it can be regarded as an alliance, and he will not fight if he says it. If you can take over that grassland, it is not impossible to properly deepen the relationship with the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, he set his sights on the Shuobei grassland early, and specially asked Liu Hu to pay attention to it.

"At present, the Tang Dynasty has not made any moves, and the two governors of Shuofang ignored the Shuobei grassland after Jieli gave up the Shuobei grassland, but only carefully repaired Shuofang and governed Shuofang's affairs. It is true that there is no interest in the Shuobei grassland. The good news is not this, not long ago there was a major incident in Gyeongju, and the governor of Gyeongju, Luo Shixin, was removed from the post of governor of Gyeongju because of overstepping his authority. As soon as Liu Hu's words fell, Tuli and Ge Lulu Sili exclaimed at the same time.

"How is that possible?"

"What you said is true?"

The two glanced at each other, and both could see the excitement in each other's eyes.

The border army of the Tang Dynasty has always been vulnerable, and it has been so arrogant recently, all because of Luo Shixin, Luo Shixin was removed, what hope does the border army have?

Even if they occupy the Shuobei grassland, what can the border army do with him?

Tu Li suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "This Li Tang can't be so unwise, right?" Want to remove a general like Luo Shixin? ”

"It's not strange!" Liu Hu was extremely confident in the news he had discovered, and said briskly: "Luo Shixin is a taboo, and the people of the Central Plains pay the most attention to these. As long as you commit a taboo, no matter how big an official you are, you will be punished. Besides, Luo Shixin's credit is so great, how can the emperor ministers who are far away in the imperial court be at ease. They have long had a saying that the birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden. Grabbing his handle, there is no reason for this not to be punished. ”

He boasted that he grew up in Shuofang, and he had read a lot of books from the Han people, and he was also a set of them.

Although Tuli has some doubts and doesn't believe Liu Hu's explanation, Luo Shixin's punishment and dismissal should not be fake, and his mind will be lively.

"King Khan!" Ge Lulu Sili couldn't wait to say: "The people of the Central Plains don't know the goods, ignore the Shuobei grassland, and cut off their own arms. If you don't take advantage of this kind of opportunity given by the true God, you will be too sorry for the favor of the true God. I am willing to lead the people into the Shuobei grassland and snatch the Shuobei grassland back. ”

"This ......" Tuli was a little moved, but he was worried that it would completely anger the Tang Dynasty and the gains outweighed the losses.

Ge Lulu Sili said: "What the hell is Li Tang's idea, a three-year-old child can see it." He wants us to fight to the death with Jieli. Until this goal is achieved, it will not lightly send troops to attack us. What's more, Jieli himself withdrew from the Shuobei grassland, did he give the Shuobei grassland to Li Tang. Li Tang also had no reason to say that the Shuobei grassland was theirs. We're first-come, first-served, it's ours. ”

Tuli stood up and said: "What the Khan said makes sense, Jieli gave up the Shuobei grassland, and I took the grassland back." As the news spreads, there will be more to support me. That's it...... Sili Khan. You settle in the Shuobei grassland first, and the grassland of Ashina Congli is your grassland. In addition, I have other arrangements. ”

Glolus was overjoyed, and after thanking him repeatedly, he couldn't wait to leave the king's tent and go to occupy the territory.

"The news came in time!" Tuli took out a pearl from his arms, threw it to Liu Hu, as a reward, and said, "You go back, continue to pay attention to the movements of Shuofang and Gyeongju, and see what kind of person and ability the trusted Shuofang Governor is." Do things for him, and I will not do you any wrong. ”

Liu Hu was overjoyed and hid the pearl in his arms, at this moment he didn't expect that just when he was in a hurry to invite merit to leave, Luo Shixin, who was dismissed, dragged his family and rushed to Shuofang to take up his post. (To be continued......)
