Chapter 394: Snowy Night II
(Thank you yebaoyin for your support, thank you!) )
At night, the wind whined like a wolf, and experienced shepherds knew that it was a precursor to a great blizzard.
It was at this time that Tong Jin Liva and his three thousand elite horsemen quietly came to the camp outside the dyed camp under the cover of the north wind.
He left a small number of soldiers to take care of the frostbitten soldiers who fell to death, and guarded the horses, and then he led his subordinates to eat a full meal of white wine, and one by one the blood boiled on the horses, and rushed towards the dyed camp in the wind and snow.
Outside, it was a cold and icy world, but inside the dyed camp was steaming, the brazier was burning red, and the lanolin lamps were spitting black smoke and shining brightly.
Dye Dry leaned comfortably on the soft wolfskin cushion, the table in front of him was full of milk wine and all kinds of meat, and a roasted golden fat sheep was still steaming and dripping with golden grease. His head was red and his head was hot, and he simply opened his arms, revealing his chest full of black chest hair. In front of him, there sat a young woman who was out of place here, with black hair and blue hair, bright eyes, red lips and bright teeth, wearing a bright silk skirt, combing the top of her head with a high bun, a golden step of a hundred birds and a phoenix, and a rhino horn comb. The young and beautiful woman is the wife of Dye Gan, the princess of the Central Plains whom he married from the Great Sui, Princess Anyi of the Great Sui.
The golden branches and jade leaves of the Central Plains are incompatible with this full of oil smoke and black smoke, strong sweat smell, and fishy fur.
Princess Anyi knelt on the wolf skin cushion in the tent, her delicate eyebrows rose from time to time, and she had been in the north of the Saiwai Mobei for a long time. But until now, she still has difficulty accepting and getting used to the qiē here. Dye Gan is not bad for her, Dye Gan actually had many wives before marrying her. The five older children are also adults. But after Ran Gan ceremoniously welcomed her back to the grassland from Chang'an, he immediately established her as Kehedun. The Turkic people are similar to the queens and princesses of the Central Plains. However, they have the right to intervene in military and political affairs, and they have great authority to participate in specific military and political affairs in their clans. In addition, in terms of life, Dyegan specially built a Han-style palace by the small lake next to the Khan Court for her, which was completely built in imitation of the Han-style palace, although the scale was not large, but it was indeed very attentive. The palace was even full of maids and slaves brought by the princess from the Central Plains, as well as dyed and dried Han slaves. Usually dyeing and drying, I often come to take this Central Plains princess's wife to hunt and play, and take care of it with my heart. is like a pearl in the palm of your hand, you are really afraid of falling in your hand, and you are afraid of melting in your mouth.
Even if he actually knew that this Princess Anyi was not the emperor's daughter, nor was she the emperor's granddaughter, in fact, she was just the daughter of the emperor's family, and she gave the princess the title to marry him. But even so, he was completely satisfied. Not only because Princess Anyi is young and beautiful, but also has good etiquette. There is a kind of beauty that Turkic women do not have at all. Moreover, because she is the princess of the Sui Dynasty, this means that she is the daughter of the emperor, and she has become the son-in-law of the emperor of the Central Plains.
At the moment, both Dutou and Dyegan want to take the opportunity to annex him, and he wants to retreat to the east. More and more need to rely on the help of Zhongyuan's father-in-law. If he can get the full help of the emperor, maybe he can replace Dulan and Datou and become the great khan of the Turkic Khanate.
Dye dry also thought about it. Ever since he succeeded to the throne of the Great Khan, there has been constant internal strife within the Turks. For the position of the Great Khan, how many years have they been fighting. At that time, Awa and Sha Bolu fought endlessly. Later, Sha Boluo was beaten and fled to the Central Plains and attached himself to the Sui Dynasty, in fact, the position of the Great Khan of the Turkic Khanate had been seized by Apo, and the Khan Court of Baidao was nothing more than a government in exile. However, the alliance that had given Awa a lot of support and the combination of several parties finally defeated Shabaliu's Awa-Datou broke down after Awa defeated Shabalius and won the position of Great Khan. Ah Po and Da Tou began to fight again, and finally Ah Po was defeated by Da Tou, and then Mo He Khan, who inherited the Khan throne from Sha Bo Liu, that is, Dye Gan's father, after gaining the support of the Sui Dynasty, saw that Ah Po and Da Tou were both defeated, under the banner of the Sui Dynasty, suddenly sent troops to capture the newly defeated Ah Bo, and drove Ah Po, who was also not a small damage to the Western Regions, and regained the position of the Great Khan of the Khanate.
Dye Gan couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he thought of this, his father was quite powerful. This one of them is the eldest of the four sons of the Iltumen Khan who founded the Khanate, Sha Bolu and Mo He are the sons of Koro, and Du Lan and Dye Gan are both Koro's grandsons. It's a pity that although his father is very Mingying, just like the second son of Tumen, the third great khan of the Khanate, the wooden pole khan, but unfortunately his luck is too bad. After defeating Apo, his father Mohe Khan went west to conquer Datou, when Datou was fighting with the Alva people who were attached to the Eastern Roman Empire, as well as the Eastern Romans, and there was no time to meet Mohe Khan who was on the western expedition. Ran Gan's father marched all the way to victory, and then he happened to encounter the Persian army to attack the White Huns, who had long since surrendered to the Turkic Khanate in Eastern Persia. Mohe Khan, who was passing by, received a letter of help from the White Huns, so he waved his troops south to rescue. As a result, Mohe Yehu Khan was ambushed by the Persians in this rescue battle. The ambush of Yehu Mohe Khan was none other than the future Sassanid monarch of Persia, Bahram VI, a famous Persian general who later defeated the Eastern Roman Emperor with a small victory. And in the eighth year of the emperor's reign, Bahram. Chubin was only a Persian general.
The unexpected encounter between Mo He and Bahram caused Mo He, who had only been the Great Khan of the Turkic Khanate for one year, to his death, and the Turkic expedition to the west had to come to an abrupt end. The position of the Great Turkic Khan eventually passed to Shabalu's son, Yongyu Lu, known as Dulan Khan.
Interestingly, the famous Persian general Bahram who ambushed and killed Moho Khan is also legendary. Soon after, Holmezd IV of the Persian dynasty was rebelled by his subordinates, and the rebels installed his son as Cuthro II. When Kuslow II succeeded to the throne, he blinded his father and later put him to death. However, Bahram Chubin did not recognize the throne of II, and he publicly proclaimed himself king in 590, the tenth year of his reign, the third year after he ambushed and killed Mohe Khan. Bahram established himself as queen and called himself Bahram VI. At that time, Kuthlo II was forced to flee to the Eastern Roman Empire, and with the assistance of Emperor Maurice I, he returned home and defeated Bahram Chubin, who was exiled and assassinated, and reigned for just over a year, which is equivalent to Mo He's reign.
Mo He's sudden death in battle achieved Chubin's prestige, and at the same time, it also allowed the Datou Khan, who was caught in the war with the Eastern Romans and the Alvas, to escape the catastrophe, and let Yongyu Lu, who was originally abandoned by his father Sha Bo because of cowardice, not be able to succeed to the throne of the Great Khan.
Dye Gan often thinks that if it weren't for his father's short reign, he would definitely be the one who would inherit his father's throne as the Great Khan, not Yong Yulu, who refused to recognize his inheritance even by his own father. 、
His father inherited the throne of the Great Khan, and as soon as he succeeded to the throne, he immediately regained the position of the Great Khan from Apo, and later made a series of victories in the west, almost reuniting the divided Turks. But what about Du Lan, what did he do after he succeeded to the throne? In fact, after Dulan succeeded to the throne of the Great Khan, he not only failed to conquer the Western Turks, which had split out, but even made the Western Turks stronger and stronger.
It is said that this time Du Lan and Da Tou can reach an alliance, and the real condition is that Du Lan will give up the position of the Great Khan of the Khanate to Da Tou, and Du Lan will retreat to the position of Eastern Khan.
"This damn Yongyu Lu!" Dye Gan poured a large sip of wine, and then scolded Du Lan.
Princess Anyi, who was sitting opposite him, frowned, and looked at Dye Gan with dissatisfaction. She has been in the steppe for so long, and she knows a lot about the grievances and grievances of the Turks. The internal strife of the Turks in recent years is actually a struggle for the position of Great Khan. It is said that the Eastern and Western Turks were divided, but until now, in fact, the Western Turks only refer to the western part of the khanate, not really split into a khanate. The Khanate was still only a khanate, but it split into two groups during the Shabalu period, tearing each other apart and fighting for the position of the Great Khan.
The Turkic Khanate has been passed down for seven generations to the present day. The first generation of Ili Khan Tumen, then his three sons took turns as the Great Khan, brother and brother, the second generation of Yixiji Khan Koro, the third generation of Wooden Pole Khan Yandu, the fourth generation of Tubo Khan Ashina Kutou, the fifth generation of Sha Bolu Khan, the sixth generation of Mohe Khan Chu Luohou, and the seventh generation of Dulan Khan Yongyu Lu. In the meantime, after the death of Tu Bo, he once appointed his son Jara as the khan, but he immediately transferred the position of Khan to the photo. When Shabo was slightly the Great Khan, Apo raised an army, got the help of all the tribes, and defeated Setu and briefly took the position of Great Khan.
According to the Turkic history known to Princess Anyi, when the Tumen Khan finally reigned, he appointed his eldest son Koro as the Eastern Khan, and the Turks were two Khans at that time, one large and one small, and the Little Khan was actually the prince of the Khanate. Yixiji Khan means the second Khan, and his other title, Ayi Khan, means Moon Khan, or Little Khan.
When the third generation of the Great Khan Wooden Pole Khan reigned, as the Great Khan who commanded the whole khanate, he added two small khans in the north and the west in addition to the eastern khan, and formally established the large and small four-part feudal system, and the prince monarchy of the eastern khan as the next great khan was basically established. At that time, the prestige of the wooden pole Khan directly pursued the first great Khan Tumen, he opened up the Western Regions, conquered the Gaochang Kingdom, and then joined forces with the Western Wei Dynasty, broke through Tuyuhun, and finally joined forces with Persia, destroying the largest force in the Western Regions at that time. This disgust is equivalent to most of Afghanistan today. After the wooden pole went west to destroy the disgust, he left his younger brother in the secret room to stay in the Western Regions and named him the Khan of the West. (To be continued......)
