The Turkic tent is a huge tent, more than thirty times larger than an ordinary tent. Liu Ziqiu heard Yu Wenkai say that the big tent he made could accommodate hundreds of people at the same time. The Turkic tents, though large, were divided into many rooms, each of which was not much larger than an ordinary tent. It can be seen from this that the technical level of the Turks is still far behind that of the Great Sui. Of course, there are also benefits to having a huge dental tent made up of small tents. One is that it can save costs. Making a huge tent requires a lot of support materials, and the smaller the tent, the more materials can be selected, and the cost will not be too high. Second, it can keep warm. The tent is divided into small rooms, which is equivalent to a sealed cabin, which can naturally play a role in heat insulation and heat preservation.

However, the biggest disadvantage of this type of tent is that the air cannot be circulated. The Turks have been eating beef and mutton for a long time and rarely bathing, so there is already a smell of mutton on their bodies, which makes the smell in the tooth tent more and more unpleasant. Liu Ziqiu covered his nose again and again, and he didn't know how the Turkic Khan could survive in this kind of tent.

At this moment, Kakuriyan came out from the depths of the tent with a group of women. These women were old and young, handsome and ugly, but they were all gorgeous, and many of them even wore silk clothes. In the West Sea, silk is a scarce luxury, let alone in the desolate Mobei grassland. You don't have to ask, you know the identity of these women.

Sure enough, Jiao Liyan said excitedly: "Lord, these are the women of the Turkic Khan, according to the rules of the steppe, they now belong to the lord!" ”

The Turks practiced a step-marriage system, and the eldest of these women didn't know how many khans they had married, how could Liu Ziqiu accept them, waved his hand and said: "I don't want these women to do if I don't be a Turkic khan, what do you want these women to do?" Leave them all to Mullin. ”

When it was dark, Mullin returned with his men, along with his father-in-law, Hongzhan and Princess Yicheng. Hongzhan prostrate on the ground, begging for mercy. Princess Yicheng looked arrogant and ignored Liu Ziqiu.

Mu Lin arched his hand and said, "Lord Liu, how to deal with them, please show me." ”

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "The Mobei grassland has changed now, you are now the Turkic Khan, why do you have to ask me about the internal affairs of the Turks?" ”

A strange light suddenly flashed in Mu Lin's eyes, and he bowed down and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I know how to do it." ”

Liu Ziqiu arched his hand again and said, "But if Her Royal Highness Princess Yicheng is willing to return to Dasui, I hope it will be convenient!" ”

Mu Lin couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and turned his head to look at Princess Yicheng. Although Princess Yicheng has been married to two khans, she is actually only in her twenties, beautiful and charming, Mu Lin really hopes to "inherit" this woman of the Ji Shi, but he knows very well that all this is up to Liu Ziqiu.

To everyone's surprise, Princess Yicheng said coldly: "Since this palace married into the grassland, she was born as a grassland person and died as a grassland ghost!" ”

Liu Ziqiu has always opposed the policy of harmony and proximity implemented since the Han Dynasty. History has proved that not only can it not ease the contradictions between the farming peoples of the Central Plains and the nomadic peoples of the grasslands, but on the contrary, it will also spread some advanced technologies of the Central Plains. After mastering these techniques, the nomads greatly increased their strength, which in turn intensified their invasion of the Central Plains. He really wanted to bring Princess Yicheng back to the Central Plains, but Princess Yicheng herself was unwilling to go, and Liu Ziqiu couldn't force it, after all, he was still nominally a minister of the Great Sui.

That night, Liu Ziqiu, in the name of the Great Sui Emperor Yang Qi, made Mu Lin the Grateful Khan of the Eastern Turks, so that Mu Lin always remembered where his position as a khan came from. Although Hongzhan married his daughter to Du Jishi, after all, he was a member of the Ashid tribe and became a prisoner, so he was naturally willing to stand on Mu Lin's side. Many of the women of the Ogie were naturally inherited by Mullin, who slept in the Turkic tent that night. Because he was afraid that Liu Ziqiu would be unhappy, although Mu Lin was salivating, he didn't dare to let Princess Yicheng sleep. Of course, Princess Yicheng is already his woman, and that day will come sooner or later.

Liu Ziqiu declined Mu Lin's gracious request and returned to his team. For Liu Ziqiu, sharing weal and woe with the soldiers should not just stop at the slogan, but should also be put into action. Of course, the foul smell of the Turkic tent also discouraged him.

In several battles in a row, Liu Ziqiu did not rush to kill them all. In the Dumi tribe, Liu Ziqiu finally released all the adult men who were captured. In the tribe with the association rate, although the bloody and cruel massacre was carried out, and the women and children also became prisoners of the Mulin tribe, Liu Ziqiu did not send troops to chase and kill the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses who fled. In the Turkic tent, those guards had all died because of their desperate resistance, but the others Liu Ziqiu did not embarrass them.

Although Mu Lin was named the Turkic Khan by Liu Ziqiu, the Ashina people controlled the grassland for many years, and it was not easy for Mu Lin to convince the public, and for three days in a row, people in the tent escaped. Most of these ** fled to the south, needless to say, they all reported to the Jishi. However, if too many people in the tent escaped, it would be a big blow to Mullin's prestige. Hearing this, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help frowning and said, "Mu Lin, you see that the water and grass here are abundant, should you move your tribe here?" ”

Of course, Mu Lin also knew that he was difficult to convince the people now, and said with a bitter face: "According to the rules, I will immediately hand over the position of the tribal leader. Besides, my tribe doesn't qualify to be stationed here. If they were forcibly moved, it would provoke the wrath of the people. ”

Liu Ziqiu sneered: "Do you think that after leaving your tribe, you can sit firmly in the position of Khan?" It is impossible for Liu to stay on the grassland to help you all the time! ”

Mullin had been a Turkic khan for a few days and had come to love the feeling of being on top. After listening to Liu Ziqiu's words, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I listened to Lord Liu, so I ordered my tribe to be moved to the tooth tent. It's just that Du Jishi still has 200,000 troops in his hands, and when they hear this news, they will inevitably fight! ”

Liu Ziqiu said disappreciably: "What is the purpose of Du Jishi taking this gang of rabble to invade the Central Plains in the south? Not to plunder property? As long as you are a khan for a day, Liu will promise to open a border city on the ruins of Gaoyue County outside the Great Wall of Wuwei County, and allow the people of both sides to trade. When the time comes, salt and cloth can be bought and sold at will, and iron can be doubled on the basis of the original quota! You say, if this news spreads, will the tribal leaders be willing to listen to you, or will they be willing to listen to the Diggy World? ”

Mu Lin was overjoyed and said, "With Lord Liu's support, they will definitely listen to me!" I'm going to issue a khan decree and spread the news! ”

……

However, it is said that Liu Wuzhou defeated Chen Xiaoyi with the help of the strength of the Turkic cavalry of the Duji Shi, beheaded Wang Zhibian, and immediately waved his army to the east and attacked the territory of Yanmen. Yanmen is named after the pass, and the Yanmen in the north is majestic and magnificent, blocking out the nomadic tribes on the grassland. Now the Turkic cavalry of the Duji Shi took advantage of the Ma Yi to bypass the strong fortress of Yanmen Pass and the defense line built around it, and suddenly entered a no-man's land, and the momentum along the way was like a bamboo, breaking dozens of cities in a row, burning and looting everywhere they passed, and doing all kinds of evil.

Liu Wuzhou didn't want what he got to be just a piece of scorched earth, so he repeatedly persuaded him, while counting the prosperity of Fenyang Palace and Jinyang Palace, and promising to pay tribute every year in the future. Only then did he restrain his subordinates, waved his army south, and attacked the territory of Loufu.

It was already very rare for the nomadic tribes in the north to invade Yanmen, and the civil and military officials of Loufu County did not think that the Turks would continue to go south, and they were completely defenseless, and the result was a complete defeat. In just twelve days, the whole territory of Loufu fell, and Fenyang Palace also fell into the hands of Du Jishi.

Yang Guang likes luxury, and Fenyang Palace is magnificent, which makes Du Jishi breathtaking. The concubines and maids in the palace were all young and beautiful, and the eyes of these Turkic leaders were straight. Since then, Du Jishi has lived in the Fenyang Palace, drinking and having fun with the tribal leaders, making the good Fenyang Palace a miasma.

Three days later, Liu Wuzhou saw that Du Jishi had no intention of leaving, and persuaded again: "Great Khan, the south is Taiyuan, there is a Jinyang Palace, which is more gorgeous than Fenyang Palace, there are countless treasures in the palace, there are groups of beauties, and there are two concubines Zhang and Yin who are unique in the world." If the Great Khan is interested, Liu is willing to be the striker and take it for the Great Khan! ”

Although Du Jishi grew up on horseback since he was a child, he was accustomed to the wide grassland and galloping war horses, but the luxurious and comfortable life in Fenyang Palace also made him gradually lose himself, he didn't expect that there was such a paradise on earth, and he only felt that he had lived in vain in the past few decades. After listening to Liu Wuzhou's words, his rough big hand pinched the chest of the palace maid in his arms, and said with a smile: "Dingyang Khan, how does Luoyang's Great Sui Palace compare with Jinyang Palace?" ”

Liu Wuzhou didn't expect Du Jishi's ambition to be so big, and he was also taken aback, but he immediately regained his composure and said: "Great Khan Tianwei, to take Luoyang is naturally like exploring the bag to get something. As long as the Great Khan captures Taiyuan, Luoyang can be waited. ”

In fact, Liu Wuzhou understands in his heart that Taiyuan is not comparable to Yanmen and Loufu. The city of Taiyuan is tall and strong, and there are heavy soldiers in the city. The Taiyuan Wang family is also a great family second to none, and its local power is huge, and no one dares to underestimate the forces that can be mobilized. He dragged Du Jishi to attack Taiyuan, just to use the power of Du Jishi to consume the defenders of Taiyuan as much as possible, so that he could sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Unexpectedly, Du Jishi was self-aware, and laughed and said: "You Han people have a saying, called greed is not enough snake swallows elephants." Luoyang is the eastern capital of the Great Sui, how can it be easily conquered? If you can lay down Jinyang Palace, you should be content! The three armies were ordered to assemble within two days and go south to capture Taiyuan! ”

Although Fenyang Palace is good, only Du Jishi and a dozen leaders with status can have some pleasure, and the others naturally scatter and scourge the township, and they will naturally not be able to gather for a while, so Du Jishi left them two days.

Suddenly, the guard stumbled in with a man on his back: "Great Khan, woe to you!" ”
