The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 177

Yi Shibo and his son are gone, but this is only the beginning.Immediately afterwards, bad news came from Pugu, Tongluo, Bayegu, Sijie, Ge Luolu, and Baximi. Like Xue Yantuo, they were taken away by the Sui army. The worst thing was Tongluo, who made Sui The army burned it up.But the grassland was left in a mess, barren, bloody, and survivors waiting to be fed.

If the capricious Tie Le was massacred, and the Turkic people could still gloat over his misfortune, then the news that the headquarters of Jieli was destroyed and that all the Turkic ministries near the Great Wall were robbed and burned directly caused an uproar.

To everyone's horror, this is not only the case in Liaodong, but all the Turkic tribes near Bingzhou and Guannei Road were looted, and the most ruthless one was Ashina Simo, who was canonized as the Khan of the South by Yang Tong. Wan Dajun killed the land thousands of miles north of Wuyuan into no man's land.

This sudden attack made the Turkic tribes close to the border of the Sui Dynasty terrified. While asking for help from Jieli, they recalled the tribal warriors who gathered in Dujin Mountain, and at the same time strengthened their guard against Yang Tong's attack again.

Yang Tong's powerful blow finally let the Turkic people and grassland people taste the taste of fear and threat, and finally let these villains who plundered for a living taste the same evil results as the Han people before.

Jieli Khan originally thought that after he ascended the throne, he would lead an army to the south and carry out a bloody looting of the Sui Dynasty, thus establishing his supreme authority. He never expected that he would be enthroned, and miserable blows would follow one after another.

Before he could figure out why, he received requests from many tribes for help. Could it be that the letters wanted to recall the warriors from the headquarters to prevent the Sui army from attacking again.

A series of bad news made the complacent Jieli Khan dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to yell angrily, "Yang Tong, this beast ruined my good deeds, and I, Jieli, can't spare him!"

Jieli was furious, and at the same time secretly hated himself for being self-defeating.He specially mobilized all the troops to Yudujin Mountain to participate in the enthronement ceremony, but he didn't want Yang Tong to take advantage of the loopholes and bring them endless disasters and great panic.Thinking of this, he almost vomited blood.

It was definitely the first time that Yang Tong had encountered such a vicious method since the founding of the Turkic state, and it finally made the Turkic people realize that in addition to books, there are swords in the Central Plains, and their murderous nature is even more fierce than theirs.

What is even more ruthless is that after robbing and burning all the supplies, except for young and strong children and women, all the old, weak, sick and disabled were thrown to the Turks. Starved to death under the cold weather, this means that the Turks' next focus of work is: to resettle the tribe, relieve the tribe, and let the ministries survive this cold winter in hardship, rather than immediately retaliate.Otherwise, the tens of millions of Turks south of Yudujin Mountain will all die out. Without the population, the Turkic Khanate will become smaller and smaller, and will eventually be replaced by others.

It can be said that Yang Tong's trick is on the Achilles' heel of Jieli. Even if Jieli has millions of troops, he can only focus on himself instead of conquest. Without two or three years of recuperation, he will not be able to recover at all. Come on, no one will support him to go south at all, because he is the new Turkic Khan, and he has no prestige to restrain the whole country. his supplies to get him through this winter.

But, will Yang Tong give him two or three years?Will the tribe recognize him as a great khan?
The answer is [-]-[-].

The first miserable encounter since the founding of the country happened when he Jieli ascended the throne, and it was he Jieli who transferred the troops of the various ministries. The account was put on Xieli's head, which made Xieli, who had little prestige, even more passive.

Xue Yantuo is gone!

Pungu, Tongluo, Bayegu, Sijie, Ge Luolu, and Baximi also left!
All the others are gone.

This is also the most uncontrollable part of the grassland people. Although each tribe will regard one person as the main one, they all put their own tribe first.For the benefit of his own tribe, he completely ignored the orders of the Turkic Khan.

These tribes who were loyal to the tribe first and then to the King Khan were simply aristocratic family leaders and gentry leaders in the Central Plains who put family interests first!But compared with the Central Plains gentry, these tribal leaders are more independent, because they form their own army openly.

Jieli Khan also saw that the "enfeoffment system", "vassal state system" and "federal system" were not good for him, so he specially reused Zhao Deyan, Kang Sumi and Kang Shanli, many Han Chinese and Huren, in order to gradually weaken the leaders of various ministries The right to use the Central Plains' system of military administration to the emperor on the Turks, to establish a Turkic feudal country with imperial power supremacy like the Han Dynasty, thus completely changing the Turkic situation of silos.It's just that no one in the Turkic tribes is willing to sacrifice their huge interests to follow his set, and he has no prestige at all now. If he is forced to promote it, it will only lead to a big civil war.

At this time, although Xieli wanted to fight the Sui army, no one listened to him anymore, and all the tribal chiefs came to say goodbye.

Jieli Khan had no reason to refuse them, so he could only let them go.Yanran Peak, which was originally as powerful as a mountain, suddenly became empty. Except for the 13 soldiers in the headquarters, all of them disappeared at once, and his direct descendants, after hearing that their hometown had given them, were all panicked look.

Helpless!
The simple enthronement ceremony ended hastily.

Back in the Wang Tent, Jieli Khan couldn't help yelling: "Damn Yang Tong is really cunning and hateful. I haven't hit him yet, but he's lucky enough to come here by himself."

At this time, a person beside him said abruptly: "Khan, although this is a heavy loss, looking at it from the other side, it may not be a god-sent opportunity."

Jieli Khan's spirit was shaken, and he hurriedly asked, "What does Mr. Zhao say?"

The Mr. Zhao mentioned by Jieli Khan is a Han literati wearing a purple robe, a Zhuge scarf, and holding a feather fan. His surname is Zhao and his name is Deyan.

Zhao Deyan has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he is familiar with the art of war and the strategy of governing the country. He has a high self-esteem and great ambitions.He lives in Yanshan in seclusion, hoping to be favored by the Ming Lord like Jiang Taigong and Zhuge Liang, and leave a good story.But for most of his life, no one cared about it, so he simply threw himself into the Turks in a rage.

Xieli's greatest ambition is to build an empire like the Central Plains and pass on his own culture and heritage from generation to generation.

Zhao Deyan was knowledgeable and good at understanding the minds of superiors, so he was highly valued by Jieli Khan, who regarded him as Zhuge Liang and used him as his right-hand man.
