Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1144 The Emperor's Ultimate Move

In Ziwei Palace.

Li Xian, the admiral of the Imperial City Department, hastily reported that Luo Keyong was attacked in the Daughter Mountain.

"Do you know who did it?"

"We haven't got enough evidence yet, but we already have someone to suspect. The Secretary of the Imperial City suspects that Xue Yantuo's envoy, Nisha, did it."

Nishi is a common name on the grasslands, and there is even a surname of Nishi in Turkic.But the Nishi Li Xian mentioned naturally refers to Nishi, the son of Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan Yi Shibo, who is also Xue Yantuo's emissary this time.

"Nishi is the eldest son of Yi Shibo. After the accidental death of Yi Nan's father, the youngest son of Yi Shibo, his power in the Xueyantuo Khanate has increased. Especially now that Yi Shibo is about to die, he has more ambitions to inherit the Khan throne. But Yi Shibo wanted to pass on the position of Khan to his grandson Yi Nan who was a hostage in the Central Plains, which made him very dissatisfied."

"So we have reason to believe that the one who assassinated Yi Nan was Ni Shi, but after they came to Luoyang, their weapons were controlled, so this attack was carried out in a hurry, they didn't even have bows and crossbows, and they didn't dare to mobilize too many people. In order not to arouse the discovery of the court, but dispatched thirty cavalry, but still missed."

Luo Cheng tapped lightly on the table.

When Bi Khan was defeated at the beginning, the Turks lost the land of Monan.Later, Jieli Khan was defeated again, so the dragons in Mobei had no leader. The imperial court specially supported the Tiele people to rebel in Mobei, and named Yi Shibo, the leader of Xue Yantuo, as Zhenzhu Khan.

Since then, the Turkic people have never threatened Luo Cheng again. Luo Cheng used troops in the Central Plains with peace of mind. In just a few years, he unified the north, and then almost unified the whole world.

And Xue Yantuo won the support of Luo Cheng, and naturally he also won many battles and victories in Mobei, chasing and beating the Turks. Until now, except for some Turks who went south to Qin, or went west to join the Western Turkic tribes In addition, the rest have basically been annexed by Tiele's tribes.

Most of the Turkic pastures, livestock, and tribes belonged to the tribes of Tiele.

Xue Yantuo's strength has also increased greatly. There are 20 cavalry in his headquarters alone. This does not count the other tribes with the nine surnames of Tie Le. In the entire Mobei, Xue Yantuo completely replaced the original East Turks.

It's just that their development was still limited and they failed to develop further. The Khitan and other tribes in the east that were once subject to the Turks are now hardcore vassals of the Sui Dynasty, especially Xi and Khitan, which were established long ago. After leaving the prefectures and counties, the leaders of all the tribes were all named Marquis of Daqin.

On the west side of Jinshan Mountain, the Western Turks were also defeated by Qin last time and surrendered. Xue Yantuo sent troops under the imperial edict. Let them back the same way.

The south, east, and west sides are all restricted.

Coupled with the fleeing of a large number of Turks, although Xue Yantuo occupied Mobei, he was still much worse than the Turks back then.

In addition, in recent years, the Qin people deliberately win over Weihe and other tribes secretly, so Weihe and other tribes formed the Huihe alliance to rebel.

Tie Le's nine surnames were divided by internal strife.

For Luo Cheng, a unified Mobei is certainly not what he wants to see.

At the beginning, Xue Yantuo was supported, and Yi Shibo was conferred as Khan, which was for the need of flanking the Turks. When the Turks had disappeared, and Mobei let Xue Yantuo develop like this, sooner or later they would not be reconciled to being restricted like this, and they might still go south or Expansion in any direction, eastward or westward, is not allowed by the imperial court.

It can be said that the emergence and rebellion of the Huihe Alliance were originally the result of Daqin's behind-the-scenes operations.

But on the surface, the relationship between Da Qin and the Xue Yantuo Khanate is still very good, but it is only on the surface.

Whether it is the emperor Luo Cheng or the ministers, they all regard Xue Yantuo as a potential threat.

Of course, there is no reason to send troops directly, that is not acceptable.Moreover, it is not appropriate to directly send troops to Mobei.

The best solution, of course, is to let Huihe and Xue Yantuo continue to fight. The more fierce the internal fighting, the more the court will be able to reap more benefits.

It's just that Luo Cheng can't think of it now, but this mud will do something like this again.

"Find a way to get the evidence, you need ironclad evidence."

Li Xian took the order immediately.

"Originally, Yi Nan said that he didn't want to be the Great Khan, but I didn't want to force it. Now it seems that if Yi Nan becomes the Great Khan, the situation in Mobei will be more beneficial to our Great Qin."

Xue Yantuo had 20 soldiers and lived in Mobei, and the leader of Weihe, Yaogeluo Bodhisattva, who was elected by the Huihe Alliance, also united with several tribes, with no less than 20 troops.

"Call the mud!"

The mud who heard the imperial edict felt uneasy.

Although all those people have been dealt with properly, and there were no people from the mission before, but people from Xue Yantuo in Luoyang.

But this matter was not done after all, no one knows if it will be exposed.

Now the emperor summoned him suddenly, and he was terrified.

"If you don't go, the emperor will be even more suspicious."

The mud had no choice but to enter the palace.

As soon as they met, the emperor smiled and told him, "I have already told Yi Nan what Zhenzhu Khan meant, but unfortunately this kid has gotten used to it in the Central Plains all these years, and now he is still in love with my niece Princess Changsha. If you can't return to Mobei, you don't even want to be a Khan."

Ni Lu was secretly happy when he heard this, but on the surface he said, "How can this be done, my father Zhenzhu Dahan is in danger, and I am anxiously waiting for him to go back and meet."

"I said the same thing, but he said that he might not be able to make it. It took several months from Luoyang to Mobei Khan Court, and it was too late. He didn't want to be a Khan, so he didn't want to go back."

What a surprise.

Luo Cheng looked at him and became more and more sure that he was the one who assassinated Yi Nan.

"I can't force Yi Nan to go back, but I can't refuse Zhenzhu Khan's dying request. After thinking about it, I have a way to get the best of both worlds."

"I don't know what a saint can do?"

"I first canonized the barbarian as Xue Yantuo Khan."

A look of disappointment appeared on Ni Shi's face.

"Of course, since Yinan refuses to go back, I plan to appoint another little khan to preside over the military and political affairs of the Xueyantuo Khanate on behalf of Yinan. I think you are not bad, Nishi."

What a surprise.

"Yi Nan wants to stay in the Central Plains wholeheartedly and wants to marry the princess of Changsha. I am also happy to see that after they get married, I will let Yi Nan pass on the throne to you at that time. This can be regarded as fulfilling Zhenzhu Khan's last wish. What do you think?"

Ni Yu wished that the emperor would issue an edict immediately, but he still pretended and tweaked it.

"If you think it's okay, then please return to Mobei immediately and announce my decision. Of course, according to the tradition of our Central Plains, you have to give a gift to marry a wife. As the uncle of Yi Nan, you will replace Yi Nan when you go back. The man bought a gift and sent it to you, and after the Yi man's wedding, he will formally pass this position to you."

"I don't know how much the Pingli will cost?" Ni You wished that Qi Pingli could be prepared immediately so that Yi Nan could complete the marriage.

"Now that Yi Nan is on the throne, I will also confer the princess of Changsha as Princess Changsha. Since she is a princess, it is natural that this kind of ceremony should be more appropriate, right?" Luo Cheng said with a smile. "Xue Yantuo is the Khanate of the Mobei Grassland, so I don't want you to use gold and silver objects as gifts, but [-] horses, [-] cows, [-] sheep and other grassland livestock as gifts, is it possible?"

[-] horses, [-] cows, and [-] sheep, this bride price is demanding enough, even for Xue Yantuo Khan, it is not a small number.

Especially if these are used as betrothal gifts, they must be sent to Daqin.

Mud hesitated.

Luo Cheng hehe, "Can't it be done?"

Ni Shu thought for a while, as long as Yi Nan married the princess and finished his marriage, then the throne would be passed on to him, no matter what, it would not be a loss, so he gritted his teeth, patted his chest and said, "It can be done, it can be done !"

"Hahaha, I'm waiting for your news. When Pingli is ready, I will send it to Lingwu County, Hetao!"

Luo Cheng didn't let them be sent to Monan, but asked to be sent to Lingwu, which is thousands of miles away from Yinshan Mountain.

But since they have already patted their chests and said it's okay, there is no reason to make troubles at this time, Ni Yu can only grit his teeth and agree to everything.
