The steppe bordering the northwest of Youzhou is the territory of the Turks, and this piece belongs to the tribes under the jurisdiction of the Turkic Jieli Khan and the Tuli Khan.

The little Turkic khan is Jieli's nephew, and the position of the Turkic Khan should have been the little Turkic khan's, but Jieli, as the uncle of the king, is too powerful, and no one dares to disagree if he grabs the position. Therefore, the relationship between the uncle and nephew is not very good, and the little Khan of Tuli has always been disobedient to Jieli Yang.

This little Turki Khan is a wall-to-wall figure. Once when his father Luo Khan was in power, Yang Guang of the former Sui also had to bow his head, so he married his daughter Princess Huainan to the son of Chu Luo Khan, Ashina Bowl Bismuth, which was later known as the Tuli Little Khan.

In the third year of Wude, Luo Khan died, his younger brother Jieli ascended the throne, and his son Ashina bowl bismuth was named the little Khan of Turki by Jieli, and the construction bank was in the north of Youzhou, and was in charge of more than a dozen tribes such as Khitan and Jin Ya in the eastern part of the Turkic Turks.

The Tang Dynasty was established, and in the sixth year of Wude, the Turks invaded the border, and Li Er, the king of Qin, went north to defend against the enemy, and later reached an agreement with the other party not to invade each other. He also became a brother with this little Turki khan.

It can be seen that this Tuli is very good at being a man and knows how to preserve his strength too well. married the Huainan princess of the former Sui Dynasty, and married Li Er of the Tang Dynasty, and his sophistication was clearly played by him.

Speaking of which, Li Er is still related to the former Princess Sui Huainan. As we all know, Li Yuan and Yang Guang are cousins, so Princess Huainan of the Great Sui is Yang Guang's daughter, and Li Shimin is Li Yuan's son, so the two can be regarded as cousins.

The Khitan peddling of war horses was suppressed by the Khitan patriarch, so the little Khan of Tuli did not know.

But Anle County does not sell salt to the Turks, this matter is big, and it quickly alarmed the Turks, and after asking in detail, it turned out that there was a newcomer in this Anle County, who was domineering and arrogant, and was very aimed at the Turks. First lowered the price of Turkic leather goods, and then cut off the salt and iron trade, which is to do something.

Tuli Little Khan's face sank like water, and his wife, Princess Huainan, hated the Tang Dynasty in her heart, and fanned the flames and said: "A few years ago, the prince of Qin and his husband bowed to him, how low was his attitude? It's not that we're afraid of being strong. It's only been a few years? How dare they target us like that? Did you think that the sword in her husband's hand was not sharp? Or have you forgotten the majesty of our Turks? ”

As soon as these words came out, not only did Tuli Little Khan be furious, but also a number of tribal leaders and generals under his command were furious, shouting that they would send troops to Anle County and give them some color.

Tuli Little Khan muttered: "I remember that the name of the Anle guard is Su Lie, this person is a brave man, it is said that there are more than 1,000 elite cavalry under his command, and he can't be taken down by leisure." ”

His general, Asmo, knelt down on one knee and begged: "Give me 3,000 cavalry, and I will go and capture the county guard of the Tang people, so that they can learn a lesson." ”

"By the way, it's too slow to buy and sell well, since they don't sell, then rob! How can you buy it quickly? ”

"That's right, I haven't looted for a few months, and the sons and daughters are rusty with their cavalry and shooting, and it's time to train the soldiers."

Seeing that his subordinates were full of fighting spirit, Tuli was not easy to pour cold water, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll give you 3,000 men and horses to practice and train your soldiers, and show your sword." Don't be careless, although our cavalry comes and goes like the wind, they are not good at attacking cities after all, and the Tang City is strong. What to capture the other party's county guard or something, forget it, Ben Khan and the Tang King have a sense of righteousness, give him a face. ”

"Yes!"

Asmo was overjoyed to gather the soldiers and horses, and the others cast envious glances, what a good opportunity to plunder, let your kid catch it.

A few days later, in Anle City, Su Lie found Xiao Rui with the scout's letter.

"Changshi, the atmosphere has not been right in the past two days, there is movement on the Turkic side, and the number of scouts sent to our surroundings has increased."

Xiao Rui smiled, as if as expected, "General Su, based on your previous experience, what does such a situation mean?" ”

Su Lie looked westward, and said in a serious tone: "If nothing else, they are going to come to plunder." We need to take precautions. ”

"Looting? I remember that General Su once said that we are happy with these more than 1,000 elite cavalry, and we dare not come to attack when we are idle. Now the Turks are coming, how much can they get, three thousand? Five thousand? ”

Su Lie shook his head, "It's hard to say, the scouts haven't seen the other party's soldiers and horses yet. But I don't think it will be less than three thousand. Long history, do we want to inform the people around Anle City that the war is together, and it is better to have strong walls and clear fields, and the Turks will not be soft. ”

Xiao Rui shook his head and said: "No, if you tell the people and merchants that the Turks will come to plunder, then peace and happiness will be chaotic, and it is not good for the people to panic." ”

"However, if you don't tell it, the Turks will definitely plunder along the way...... How many innocent lives have to be killed or wounded? ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "General Su, you said, if the army is short of water halfway through, is it delicious to have melons and dates on the road, or is it sweet in an orchard ahead?" ”

Forehead...... This, what about war, how can we talk about fruit? Su Lie was confused for a while.

Xiao Rui gestured out of the city, and Su Lie suddenly realized, "You mean ......"

Got it, that's—that's too bad, isn't it? Changshi wants to use the hands of the Turks to teach a lesson to those who set up stalls outside the city? What a trick to borrow a knife to kill!

Xiao Rui sneered: "Don't people like to lick the Turk's buttocks, this time, the Turks will come to the front to lick them in person." ”

Forehead...... It's good, but if the information is concealed, what will happen to other innocent traders and people?

"Don't worry, let's not say that the Turks came back to plunder, but we have to release the news and gather everyone in the city, I am going to hold a trade fair in the city, and then all the small traders and merchants who have dealings with us will come to participate, and the government will act as a guarantee, and the two sides will negotiate...... In short, to publicize it, to be lively, to be able to gather people. ”

"Aren't the chambers of commerce outside the city looking down on the alliance formed by our scattered people, they will definitely not come to participate."

Su Lie was still a little uneasy, "What if the Turkic people pluck their feathers and don't let go of the people along the way?" ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "Scatter out the scouts, see the Turkic soldiers and horses, and then we will make a bait and tell the Turks that there are countless grains and cloths outside Anle City, and the merchants of the Tang Dynasty are crazy, and they think that the city can't be put on hold, so they delay the trade, and pile up all the grain and cloth outside the city...... Tsk, what do you think will happen to them? ”

Su Lie scratched his head, "Then it goes without saying, these wolf cubs must have lost their lives to come and rob them." Alas...... This plan is very good, it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone, cleans up the Anle Chamber of Commerce, and allows them to make enemies with the Turks. But I always feel a little cruel, after all, they are also people from Datang. ”

Xiao Rui said: "General Su, Ci is not in charge of the army, and it is the people of the Tang Dynasty who are united with the Tang Dynasty." We don't need these heads and rats at both ends of the ladder to secretly fund the enemy. ”

"After being taught, the last general will receive the order, and this will be arranged."

Xiao Rui patted Su Lie's shoulder and whispered: "Don't worry, when the Turks finish their work and go back, we will help the Anle Chamber of Commerce to avenge it, you are right, they are all Tang people, how can we sit idly by?" ”

Yes? What?? What are you......

Su Lie was dumbfounded, and said in his heart that it was too ruthless! I thought you would kill two birds with one stone, but I didn't expect you to want to catch cicadas and yellow finches behind?

How did this colt master grow his brain? It seems that humans and animals are harmless, calculated, merciless, and must keep up in the future, and must not be offended, otherwise they don't know how to die.
