"I hate it!"

At the foot of Dujin Mountain, in a dilapidated tent of the Turkic tooth tent.

Tuli Khan was tied up and sturdy, and he looked at the eldest grandson Sheng in front of him with anger and hatred, "I would have thought that the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui would have tried his best to kill the princess of Dayi based on faith and righteousness, but I didn't expect that in the end, he just made a wedding dress for Yongyu Lu (Dulan Khan's name)!" ”

Once the second Turkic Khan, the younger brother of Dulan Khan, the Turki Khan used to be so high and powerful, but now he has become a prisoner, and he no longer has the majestic appearance of the past, he looks a little embarrassed, and obviously has suffered a lot.

Looking at the down-and-out person in front of him, the gentle and elegant eldest Sun Sheng just smiled and said: "This time you are ashamed of the Tuli Khan, but it's a pity that you didn't see the general trend of the world after all, I don't understand what our Great Sui needs, and you can't blame others for your fate today, you can only blame yourself for not knowing the general trend!" ”

"Why?" Tuli said unwillingly, "I married the princess of the Great Sui, and I will eventually help the Great Sui to help you contain Yongyu Lu, he has just ascended the throne as a khan, and he sent troops south to extort a lot of money, which shows that he will not really reconcile with the Great Sui!" ”

"Alas!" Changsun Sheng sighed, "If there is no Xia Kingdom that suddenly appears, in order to contain the ambitious Yongyu Lu, we will definitely vigorously support the Khan, but unfortunately the strength of the suddenly rising Xia Kingdom is too strong, and we have to look for helpers who can fight against them together!"

In this way, except for the Turks who can play a great role in it, it is impossible for others to help us anymore, although Yongyu Lu is still impossible to be intimate with my Great Sui even after marrying the princess, but under the pressure of the Xia Kingdom, he must unite with our Great Sui! ”

In the original history, the Sui Dynasty was to contain the powerful Dulan Khan, and after designing to kill the princess of Dayi, the princess of the Sui Dynasty was married to the Tuli Khan, which finally led to a series of battles between Dulan and the Tuli Khan, and the Tuli Khan was the later Qimin Khan.

But now it doesn't work, what the Sui Dynasty needs is a limited and powerful helper who can fight against the Xia State with him, if he supports the Turkic Khan, it is likely to cause the Turks to fall apart, and in the end, it will cheapen the Xia State.

Speaking of this, Changsun Sheng glanced at Tu Li again, and said eloquently: "Yongyu Lu has a common enemy with us, and there is Datou and Da Luo behind him, even if his heart is still full of ambition, but before defeating the Xia Kingdom, he must get along with us!" ”

Before Changsun Sheng's words fell, the Turki Khan's face was already darkened, and he sat weakly on the rough felt mat behind him, his eyes were godless: "No wonder, even if my strength is not as good as Yongyu Lu, as the second Khan of the Turks, the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui will inevitably be greatly wooed, but I can't imagine that I will end up in this end!" ”

"I'm so stupid! Really!······"

In the murmur of the Tuli Khan, Changsun Sheng opened the big tent that imprisoned the Tuli Khan and left, leaving only a stunned Tuli Khan there.

Just as Changsun Sheng had just left, a group of people came out from next to the big tent where the Tuli Khan was imprisoned, led by Dulan Khan, who looked at Changsun Sheng in the distance with sharp eyes, and quickly dissipated after the killing intent swept slightly.

Changsun Sheng's words are very reasonable, he is also very jealous of Changsun Sheng, although he very much wants to kill Changsun Sheng, but he knows that he must not move this idea before defeating Xia Guo, otherwise the Turks will definitely not be able to defeat Xia Guo's attack with their own strength.

In the past two years, the expansion of the Xia Kingdom around the Beihai has become more and more powerful, and even the small tribes in the northern part of the Beihai have openly taken refuge in the Xia Kingdom under the example of Gu Ligan, but they are beyond the reach of the whip for a while, and they are unable to do anything about the rebellion of these small tribes, which makes the small tribes in the entire grassland agitated.

Thinking of this, he understood in his heart that Changsun Sheng knew that he was listening, so he deliberately made his words clear, so he made a gesture to the soldiers around him, which meant to kill the Tuli Khan, and then he didn't look at Tuli again and turned away.

Soon a piece of news stunned the people on the steppe, the once noble Tuli Khan was quickly killed by Dulan Khan because of his participation in the conspiracy, and his hundreds of thousands of troops located in the south of the North Sea were all collected by Dulan Khan, and since then Dulan Khan's strength has further increased.

Soon after gathering the tribes of the Tuli Khan, the high-spirited Dulan Khan married a beautiful princess from the Great Sui.

Changsun Sheng, as the envoy of the Great Sui this time, made Dulan Khan admire it, but also extremely jealous, it was Changsun Sheng's participation that made Datou Khan and Daluo Khan finally make up their minds to break with Sha Bolu Khan.

This time, after Changsun Sheng intervened, he helped himself completely solve the Tuli Khan, which can be described as turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain.

However, this time the Sui Dynasty made Dulan Khan very satisfied, he not only married the beautiful princess of the Great Sui, but also received a large number of material rewards, and even Yang Jian provided himself with tens of thousands of horizontal knives and more than 100,000 arrows in order to better resist the strategy of the Xia Kingdom.

After obtaining these weapons and arrows, Du Lan soon sent a large army to defeat the Tiele Nine who had gathered in the northwest of Jinshan.

This battle not only scattered the Tiele nine surnames who had just formed an alliance, but also severely damaged the Xue Yantuo tribe that the Tiele nine surnames regarded as the backbone, and the Tiele people lost tens of thousands of cavalry in the first battle, so that these Tiele people, who were originally ambitious and tried to replace the Turks, were defeated again.

After the defeat of the Tielers, they had to surrender to the Dulan Khan again, and a considerable number of the Tiele people were unwilling to join the Turks again, but went north to the Jianshui (Yenisei River) valley, but united with the Qigu people in the west of the North Sea to fight against the Dulan Khan.

Although the number of the Qigu people is smaller than that of the Tielers, they are even more fierce than the Tielers, so they are more fierce than the Tielers, and even the powerful Turks are in awe of them, so they are also a good ally.

However, after all, the place where the Qigu people lived could not accommodate too many nomadic tribes, especially in ancient times when the productivity was extremely low, so there were still some Tiele people who went to the eastern part of the Beihai to join the Xia Kingdom, after all, the good example of the Guligan people who had taken refuge in the past was ahead.

In any case, the once powerful Tiele people finally split apart, and the Turkic steppe hegemony was not only consolidated, but even made other small tribes with different hearts surrender in fear again, and did not dare to make any small moves.

The Turks are, after all, the steppe overlords.

Even if it seems to be weak in front of the Xia army, it is much stronger than their small tribes, and the confrontation between superpowers is not something that their small tribes can participate in, if they don't see the situation clearly, rashly coming forward is the end of the extermination.

Since ancient times, there have been countless tribes on this prairie, but no matter how powerful the tribe is, it will only be strong for a while, not for thousands of years.

Even the once powerful steppe empires of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Rouran in the past few hundred years have now completely disappeared in the wind and snow, not to mention their weaker tribes, so it is better to follow the Turks carefully.

In just one month, he first killed the Turki Khan and subdued all his subordinates, and then defeated the Tiele people again, conquering and suppressing the restless small tribes of the steppe.

By the time the winter of the thirtieth year of the Xia calendar dawned, Dulan Khan had completely integrated all the tribes in the entire steppe east of the Jinshan Mountain Range, and his strength was no longer comparable to the past.

In order to better repel the coalition forces of Datou in the west, Dulan Khan sent the generals Qili Gu and Ashina Gu Duoli to lead 80,000 cavalry to Jinshan.

The Jinshan (Altai Mountains) mountain range is the dividing line between the power of the Datou Khan and the Dulan Khan, and the north and south of the Jinshan are also the bases of the Turks when they first started, whether it is from the struggle for ancestral industry or from other strategic aspects, this is undoubtedly a place that both sides attach great importance to.

At this time, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, on the one hand, out of the Sui Dynasty's own strategic considerations, on the other hand, also had the intention of helping Dulan Khan, so he sent the generals Yang Shuang, Li Chong, Yang Hong, King of Hejian, Dou Lu Tao, the governor of Xiazhou, and others to the west of Guazhou and Dunhuang, and the troops pointed directly at Puchanghai (Lop Nur) in the Western Regions.

As Yang Jian's younger brother, Yang Shuang was also an outstanding general at that time, and under his leadership, 200,000 Sui troops successively captured Yiwu, Shanshan, and Jimo, and set up counties in the local area.

Under the offensive of 200,000 Sui troops, the Western Regions were shaken, and Gaochang, Khotan, Yanqi, Qiuzi, Shule and other Western Regions states attached to Datou were all afraid.

After integrating all the Turkic tribes in the steppe, Dulan Khan had increased his strength a lot, and at this time, with the assistance of the Great Sui, he quickly made the Datou coalition army suffer several big losses.

Although Du Lan also wanted to take the opportunity to directly destroy Datou and Daluo's strength, he knew that the Sui Dynasty would not watch himself defeat Datou.

Although Datou suffered several big losses one after another, his strength after joining forces with Da Luo was still not to be underestimated, so the two sides gradually formed a strategic stalemate.

After more than a month of fighting, in the end both sides suffered a lot of losses, and did not want to fight any longer, under the mediation of the Sui Dynasty, Datou Khan gave up the battle for Jinshan, and the two sides formally reconciled with Dulan Khan with Jinshan as the boundary.

After more than half a year of campaigning, Dulan Khan withdrew his troops in the summer of the 31st year of the Xia calendar, and at this time he finally had the energy to send troops to the east according to the agreement with the Sui Empire, and the Sui Empire also mobilized 300,000 troops transferred from the front line of exterminating Chen at this time to prepare to attack the Xia Kingdom Liaodong together with the Turks.
