Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 730 Tatar
"Some things are inconvenient to say to Li Keyong, and the effect is not good. Madam, you have to come." In Woyang Palace, Shao Shude said just after enjoying Xiaofeng's sword dance.

Well, if it wasn't for the princess still sitting here, this couple of dogs would probably have hugged each other.

"Send someone to click with my sister-in-law Liu, and tell me that Ke Yong and I are brothers, and the Li family can live in Taiyuan." Shao Shude said.

Zhe Fangai took a look at her husband and said, "I know."

This is definitely not the truth.And the words are vague, is "Taiyuan" just Taiyuan Prefecture?Or does it contain many states and counties?Will there be a possibility of moving the town in the future?Or be charged with a crime and take away the title of Jiedu envoy from Li's children?

It's all possible.The means of the superior are innumerable.If Li Keyong believed this and entrusted his fate to Shao Shude, he would be a fool.

But from another perspective, this promise also leaves a way for people to retreat psychologically.

Shao Shude's reputation is still very good, and those who surrender can basically have a good ending.When it is really impossible to resist, or when there is really no hope, the weak-willed people will waver and think about taking this back road.

This is a conspiracy, I'm not afraid you will see it.

"Sanlang Mianren, do you want to marry the Li family?" Shao Shude asked again.

Xiao Feng, who was wiping his sweat, pricked up his ears.She has no children, and Saburo Mienren is her sister's son, and the two sisters are raised together. Xiao Feng always treats him as if he is his own, and cares very much.

"I'm afraid uncle is unwilling. But you can try it." Zhefang Ai paused and said.

Standing in her position, one has to carefully consider the cause and effect.

Will the marriage with Li Keyong's family affect the sensitive succession of power?This is something that has to be pondered over and over again.

Thinking of this, Zhefang gave Shao Shude a white look.You only care about venting your desires, and as soon as you feel refreshed, so many women have given birth to children for you.From the standpoint of a man, it doesn't matter if they are all of their own kind.But from the standpoint of a woman, the difference is too big.

"Li Ke has changed a lot in the past few years." Shao Shude sighed suddenly: "I can be sure that most of the troops he brought to the north were prepared to attack Lu Yanwei in Cangjing. Look, these few days , these people will transfer eastward one after another, heading to Youzhou. Ah, I almost forgot about Liu Rengong, he is really unlucky!"

Shao Shude laughed unkindly.

Liu Rengong dared to mobilize, probably because he thought that Xia and Jin would fight in Daibei?The benefits of being a fisherman are not so easy to get.When Li Keyong fell from the sky and appeared in front of Liu Kutou, he was probably dumbfounded.

In addition, Shao Shude was also impressed by the political ecology of Youzhou.It's been a few years, and there are still "people with lofty ideals" jumping out to rebel, can they all be killed?

Shao Shude was talking there, Zhe Fangai and Feng Du were sitting there, some were drinking tea, some were tidying up the tassels of their swords, but neither spoke nor went to rest, the atmosphere was very strange.

In the end, Zhe Fangai couldn't take it anymore, sighed softly, got up and left.In recent days, she has dominated her husband a little too much. She loves her day and night, and the other concubines who are on tour together have been longing for it.

Shao Shude directly grabbed the princess, and then glared at Xiao Feng, who made a false smile.

Shangxi Wei came in with the female secretary, and after inquiring, he directly spread the curtains in the study.

There are many confidential documents piled up in the study.Zhe Fangai was not very interested in these books, but yesterday she accidentally saw a copy, which suddenly made her worry.

The Zhao family is so powerful that they actually hooked up with Chen Xu and the Zhao family.If this is brought together, the nature of the matter will completely change.

The combat effectiveness of the Zhongwu Army is well known throughout the world.This is a powerful and powerful domain that no one can ignore.

Will they really come here?It's not that easy, is it?How could Zhu Quanzhong not stay behind?
But what if?
Zhe Fangai thought a lot, was worried, and secretly paid attention.

……

Inside the palace room, Chen Cheng was still burning the lights to fight at night, studying the map.

The Tatar tribe is actually just a collective term, not necessarily a certain tribe.

In Lingzhou and Shaqi, there are many Tatarized Dangxiang people, Tubo people, and Uighurs. In addition, there are also many Tatars with tall noses and deep eyes. They are obviously different.

For example, among the [-] Shaqi soldiers stationed around Yanchi, most of them are Uyghurs, but Tatars also account for a quarter, and they are divided into two types: yellow Tatars and white Tatars. Chen Cheng has seen them all. They have never been regarded as a tribe, although they are all called Tatars.

In the 20th year of Emperor Xuanzong's founding, there was a "Que Teqin Stele" in the Orkhon River Basin in Mobei, which mentioned the "Thirty Surnames" Tatar tribe, which later developed into the "Tatars" of the Genghis Khan era, also known as East Tatars.

The Eastern Tatars were attacked by the Khitan and Xi people, and their tribes were scattered. Some people moved westward and southward, gradually expanding their influence and becoming stronger.

The one that moved westward reached the Yinshan Grassland north of the Zhenwu Army and the Tiande Army.After the five tribes of Yinshan under Shao Shude's rule became stronger, they had to flee far to the north.This branch lived in the area of ​​Ketun City in later generations, and became the "predictors" in the Jin Dynasty.

Others moved further west.It was very strong at one time, so many tribes pretended to be Tatars and began to be Tatarized. These people were called "Nearly Cypriot Tatars" or "Southern Tatars".

In fact, this kind of title is all lazy by Guochao.It is not a tribe at all, there is no affiliation with each other, and the race, religion, and habits are also very different, and they are scattered.

There is also a group of Tatars who live by water and grass near Yinshan Mountain, and their power is not small.After they moved south from the Xing'an Mountains, they merged with the tribes from the Western Regions who lived nearby, and began to believe in Nestorianism (Christian Nestorianism), and their bloodlines also changed. On the prairie north of Yunzhou.

This tribe gradually evolved into the "Wangu tribe" in later generations.

Whether this tribe has anything to do with Li Keyong, the answer is a little bit.

Because the Shatuo tribe originally came from the Western Regions, they fled to the Tang Dynasty after being unbearably enslaved by Tubo, and belonged to the Caucasian race.After moving to Hedong, because the local Zhaowu nine surnames are also Caucasian, it is very convenient to annex them.

However, the Shatuo Trilogy, which absorbed a large number of Zhaowu's nine surnames, was inevitably influenced by its culture, and Nestorianism became popular on a small scale.The Yinshan Tatars happened to also believe in Nestorianism, and there were a lot of cultural exchanges between the two sides, so the relationship was naturally very close.

After the Pang Xun Rebellion broke out, Li Guochang was ordered to lead the army to conquer.In addition to the Shatuo soldiers, the army he brought over also included a large number of Yinshan Tatars, which further deepened the relationship.

But this doesn't mean that the Yinshan Tatars have any affiliation with Shatuo.Otherwise, when Li Guochang and his son were defeated and headed north to the desert, the Tatar chieftain would not plan to attack Li Keyong and his son just because he took Helian Duo's money.

"The most powerful Zhenwu army is Dangxiang and Tuyuhun. Shiwei and Tatars have not become popular. The Yinshan White Tatars suddenly moved westward and southward, or mainly to plunder?" Chen Cheng thought carefully.

Inside and outside the Yinshan Mountains of the Zhenwu Army and the Tiande Army, there were originally some miscellaneous small tribes, but after these years of development, the miscellaneous tribes either ran away or were swallowed up.

Since the Yinshan Tatars had broken ties with Li Keyong and suddenly moved westward, could it be that they were dispatched before the meeting?To harass his rear?

Chen Cheng was too lazy to care about these things.

He only cares about one thing, since you are here, he must kill you.

The two armies of cavalry and silver spears have been mobilized to deal with the incoming Yinshan Tatar herdsmen.This was an order from Shao Shude, and they were also accompanied by Qibi and Zangcai's tribal cavalry. The whole army went north from Shuozhou, hidden in the Great Wall and Yinshan Mountains, looking for news and waiting for orders.

The Black Knife and Golden Knife armies will also set off.They will go north from the Xuanhongchi area, followed by Leopard Riders, Weicai, and Geshu Fanqi, providing a series of activities including reconnaissance, harassment, and attacks.

The Tatars have been smoothing the tiger's beard for many years, but nothing major has happened, and they think they have a plan.

But as the saying goes, if you often stand by the river, you can never get your shoes wet.

Shao Shude led "50 riders" to run wild inside and outside Yinshan Mountain. If he didn't make any money, wouldn't it be a loss to send troops this time?

The Tatars are now "incoming".

……

On the way east from Yunzhou, Li Ke sent someone to the north.

White Tatar Yuyue Abus was friendly with him, and this time he was invited by him to go south to Yinshan Mountain.And they seem to have contacted the other Tatar tribes in the west, and went south to plunder together.

Shao Shude had probably received the news that the Tatars were going south to plunder, but he might not know which Tatars came.

After the fall of the Uighurs, there was not a single powerful force on the grassland.The Tatars were relatively strong at one time, but they did not establish sweat tents and royal courts, and failed to unify the various ministries.But with their bird-like appearance, they have already become "famous", attracting many small tribes to pretend to be Tatars.

Those who believe in shamanism, Buddhism, and Nestorianism, those who speak Turkic, Dangxiang, and Uyghur all call themselves Tatars, what a mess!
The White Tatars should have already made a big move, and it is too late to withdraw now.If he is affixed by Shao thief, he has too many cavalry, and his end will probably be very bad.

When fighting on the grassland, the comparison is who has more soldiers and horses, and who initiates a war suddenly.

Bandit Shao has a city, farmland, and pasture at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain. If someone attacks him, he can defend it.But once the tribes on the grassland were attacked by him, they had no choice but to run away.

After the envoy left, tens of thousands of troops marched eastward, mighty and mighty.

Li Ke was holding back a fire in his heart.

Liu Rengong of Dog Day!If I don't crush you this time, I won't fucking go back!There are also Khitan dog thieves, who just happened to kill a wave, and recruited Xiren and Khitan people from Ying and Pinger Prefectures to prevent them from surrendering to the eight Khitans.

Yeluyi from the Diela tribe has been very popular recently, which makes Li Keyong very unhappy.As the leader of the army actually controlling Youzhou, Li Keyong suddenly felt that the threat of his righteous brother Shao Shude seemed no greater than that of Yeluyi.Give Yeluyi a few more years, he may be able to integrate hundreds of thousands of riders, and that will be troublesome.

Kill them, once and for all!
