Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 157
In June of the second year of Wude, Shibi Khan of East Turkic died.

Shibi Khan, formerly known as Ashina Duojishi, is the son of Qimin Khan Ashina Rangan, who is more powerful than his father.Qimin Khan was unlucky. He met Da Sui who was at his peak, and lived in the shadows all his life. He was Da Sui's northern shepherd dog every day, kneeling and licking Sui Dynasty's father.

When Shibi took over the position, he quickly bared his teeth at Yang Guang, saying that I am the boss in the north, you southern barbarian, let me crawl!
At that time, Yang Guang was young and energetic. Seeing that the Turkic dog Nimabi was disobedient, he voted for him!
At this time, Pei Ju said that Shibi had a favorite minister in charge of trade with the Sui Dynasty named Shi Shuhu Xi, who was the most staunch anti-Sui faction in Turkic, and he should be him.

Yang Guang said yes.

Then Pei Ju began to operate simply and rudely, and directly deceived Shi Shu Hu Xi to Mayi County under the pretext of trade, and cut off his head with a knife in his hand.

After killing people, Yang Guang deliberately became disgusted.What do you say, your slaves betrayed you and wanted to surrender to Tai Sui, we have made him for you, thank you dad.

Can Nima endure this?
Shibi first broke off diplomatic relations with the Sui Dynasty, and then in the same year, that is, on August [-]th in the eleventh year of Daye, hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops surrounded Yanmen County.

At that time, Yang Guang happened to be collecting folk songs in Yanmen County.

It can be said that the Shibi siege of Yanmen County was the beginning of the chaos in the Sui Dynasty.Because Yang Guang was scared to pee, in order to get out of trouble, he directly ordered the counties and counties to recruit soldiers, and the king of the world worked hard.

This move hurts the enemy a thousand and explodes on the spot.

Because from this moment on, the separatist forces in counties and counties across the world have begun to take shape.What happened later is basically clear.Although Yang Guang wanted to disband those soldiers and horses of King Qin, the eunuchs from all over the country made various excuses.

Some simply support the bandits to be self-respecting, and use the pretext of suppressing bandits, but do not disband the army.

As the center lost control of the place, Yang Guang began to escape reality disheartened.There is no way, at this time, the nobles of Guanlong hated him because of the conquest of Goguryeo, and watched the collapse of the Sui Dynasty with cold eyes.

Lost the army, lost the family, lost the hearts of the people.

Yang Guang finally disappeared.

The beginning and the end were the straw that crushed the Sui Dynasty, and it was still a decisive straw.

After the chaos of the Sui Dynasty, Shibi began to let himself go. He first supported Li Yuan and sent Turkic cavalry to help Li Yuan take down Chang'an.But I didn't expect that after Li Yuan captured Chang'an, he became indifferent, ignored him, and never mentioned anything about paying tribute to him.

Shi Bi was furious, and then supported Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, and even had contacts with Dou Jiande.Even Wang Shichong, Shibi also sent someone to contact.

After tossing and tossing, in the end he failed to toss the god of death and died.

When Lao Li heard the news of Shibi's death, he actually lived in Bengbu. That night, he got drunk in the harem and summoned four concubines to sleep with him.

Then, the next day.

Lizheng Hall.

"Father, are you okay?" Li Jiancheng looked at Lao Li worriedly.

I saw Lao Li's complexion was pale, his eyes were heavily dark circles, and his whole person was like a plague chicken, with his head downcast and lifeless.

"It's okay, I'm fine!" Li Yuan's bold tone was in stark contrast to the tired look on his face.

Who would want to be a grandson?

When he raised the army, he held his nose to flatter Shibi, promising all kinds of benefits. After the founding of Tang Dynasty, in order to stabilize the north, he sent people to quietly send money to Shibi every year.It's so frightening to admit being cowardly, this bastard is still making troubles in the north every day.

He is the emperor!

Every time he gets this kind of cowardice, he can't wait to raise his troops to the north to kill Shibi, the sheep-herding bastard.

Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, and even Dou Jiande, why these scumbags dance happily is not because Shibi is doing trouble behind the scenes.

Now Bi Bi hung up, he was so happy that he wanted to dance.

"You all know about Turkic Shibi Khan, right?" Li Yuan looked at his three sons.

Li Zhiyun rolled his eyes, all the Turkic envoys stayed at Honglu Temple, the whole Tang Dynasty knew about this kind of thing, okay?

Li Jiancheng nodded, "I have already heard the news when I came, congratulations to the father, the emperor died suddenly, and the pressure on the north has dropped sharply."

"Not necessarily." Li Shimin poured cold water on him and said, "Father, I heard that Chuluo Khan, the new successor, is supporting Liang Shidu, and his son, Yu Sheshi, is helping Liang Shidu. Expand your army and horses."

Li Yuan frowned suddenly, he was dead at the beginning and the end, why Turkic is still restless.He asked, "What's going on here?"

The three brothers looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.After all, they really don't know about the Turks.

Li Zhiyun reminded: "Royal father, Pei Ju, the censor in the palace, once went to Turkic as an envoy, he may be aware of the Turkic affairs."

"That's right, pass on Pei Ju." Li Yuan immediately ordered the summons.

Not long after, Pei Ju arrived at the Lizheng Hall.

After hearing Li Yuan's question, Pei Ju immediately said: "Chuluo Khan is the second son of Qimin Khan and the younger brother of Shibi Khan. His name is Ashina Tulif She. This man is as brave as Shibi."

"What's his attitude towards the Central Plains?" Li Yuan asked.

"Wolf ambition." Pei Ju commented, and then said: "Nowadays there is chaos, and the Turks are supporting puppets everywhere in the north. Sending envoys to the court this time is by no means a reconciliation."

Li Yuan gritted his teeth, "Damn Turkic thief!"

Li Zhiyun asked puzzledly: "Pei Gong, is Shibi Khan childless? Why did Chuluo succeed him?"

Pei Ju explained: "Your Highness does not know that the position of Turkic Khan has always been reserved for those with strong soldiers and horses. The son of Shibi Khan did not succeed to the throne. I am afraid that because of the great power of Chu Luo, he has to retreat."

"Thank you for clearing up the confusion." Li Zhiyun pursed his lips, feeling uneasy.

Although he is not clear about Turkic affairs, a powerful Turkic is a disaster for Datang.

Li Yuan asked, "Who is this Turkic envoy?"

The prince replied: "Kang scabbard is good, bone is full of lu."

Hearing this, Li Yuan's expression was mixed, "Kang Jiaoli is an old friend of the Tang Dynasty. When I raised troops, when Liu Xiang sent an envoy to the Turks, it was Kang Jiaoli who led the troops to help. As for Gu Dulu" Old Li didn't say anything Finished, but the tone has become very low.

Li Zhiyun knew about Kang Siaoli and Gu Dulu.Kang Jiaoli is from the Kang country in the Western Regions, but now he is Turkic Teller. When Old Li raised his troops, he sent Liu Wenjing as an envoy to the Turks. Shibi agreed to help and sent Kang Jiaoli to lead the army to help.This person's attitude towards Datang is not bad.

As for Gu Dulu, a pure conqueror, he came to the Tang Dynasty every year as a Turkic envoy to show off his might.

If you want to distinguish between good and bad, Kang Siaoli belongs to the kind that can forgive dog's life, while Gu Dulu belongs to the kind of dog that must be killed.

In any case, although Shibi was dead, Datang was forced by the status quo and still couldn't turn his face against the Turkic people.

Therefore, the next day Li Yuan led all civil and military officials to mourn Shibi Khan at Changle Gate, and sent people to the residence of the Turkic envoy to mourn.

It was none other than the crown prince and the king of Chu who condoled the Turkic envoy.
