Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1160 Wolf Wife
Mobei.

At the foot of Yu Dujun's mountain, Xue Yantuo sweated.

Zhenzhu Vija Khan Yi Shibo was lying in the tent, the old Khan's breathing was already weak, his face was pale, his eyes were dull, but he was still holding his breath.

"Yi Nan, where is Yi Nan?"

Hearing Khan's question, all the members of the Yishi family who accompanied him came forward.

"Niyu has already entered Mobei, and he will arrive at Khan Court in a few days."

"Where's Yi Nan?" Old Khan asked.

A young concubine replied, "Nishu said that the emperor of Qin has prepared to canonize Yi Nan as Xue Yantuo Khan, and he will also canonize the eldest daughter of Changsha Princess Changsha, the eldest daughter of his sister, Princess Lanling, as Princess Changsha, and marry her. Yu Yinan."

When Lao Khan heard about this, his eyes lit up and he sat up suddenly.

"Tian Khan wants to marry the princess to a barbarian?"

"It's the daughter of the emperor's sister."

But Old Khan said to himself, "Princess Changsha, that is Princess Daqin. All the vassals wanted to propose to Daqin, but the emperor never promised marriage. I never thought that I, Xue Yantuo, would be so lucky."

"Big Khan, Nishi sent someone to report that Emperor Daqin proposed to let Yi Nan come back after getting married in Luoyang. In addition, Emperor Daqin also proposed that I, Xue Yantuo, send ten thousand good horses and fifty thousand cows. [-] sheep as a gift, and sent to Lingwu."

The amount of this gift made all members of the Yishi family feel expensive.

But Lao Khan heard it, but he just said, "Send someone to prepare right away, hurry up."

"Big Khan, there are too many of them, and we have to send them to Lingwu, which is thousands of miles away. It's too far away. It's going to be winter soon, so it's not easy to send them."

"If it's not easy to give away, you have to give it away. What an honor it is to marry Daqin and marry a princess. Let alone [-] horses, even [-] horses, we have to find a way to give them away."

Old Khan's words shocked everyone.

Seeing that they are still hesitating there.

Yi Shibo sighed, and pointed to the three banners outside the tent.

"Do you see, do you know why I set up three big banners outside the Khan tent, and I always put the red Qin flag bestowed by the emperor in the middle, higher than the other two black wolf flags?"

Everyone is really puzzled.

Xue Yantuo also used wolves as their totems, but they were different from Turks. Turks admired white wolves, but they adored black wolves.

"The Turks, the other species of the Huns, and the wrought iron slaves of the Rouran people, how can they compare with us?"

"I often ask you to read books because our grassland tribes have no written records. Many things about our ancestors are gradually forgotten. Instead, the records about our ancestors are recorded in the history books of the Han people. That is our origin and our roots. "Erya · "Shidi" contains: "There are nine kinds of barbarians in the East.One is Xuantu, two is Lelang, three is Gaoli, four is full decoration, five is Fuyu, six is ​​Suojia, seven is Dongtu, eight is Japanese, and nine is Tianbi. "

Among the Nine Barbarians in the East, our Tie Le comes from Dongtu. Dongtu refers to the Tuhe tribe, and it is also the orthodoxy of the Hu tribe in the north since the Xia Dynasty in the Central Plains.

Tu He began to manage the ancient Xiongnu tribe during the Xia Dynasty. The earliest name of the Xiongnu was Hun porridge. After entering the Qin and Han Dynasties, the most expensive question of the Xiongnu was Tu He.

The supreme leader of the Xiongnu, Gutu Shanyu, supported Li. "Chenli" means "heaven" in the Huns language, "Gutu" means "son", and "Shanyu" means "broad".But in fact, the meaning of Shanyu is not only vast, but what he really means is righteousness.

Yi Zheng, like Huo Zheng, Mu Zheng, Jin Zheng, etc., were official names appointed by China in the pre-Qin period.

In the names of the leaders of the Xiongnu, both the Son of Heaven and Yizheng, actually show their origins.

As early as in ancient times, there was no specific boundary between Huayi and Yi. In the east, there was a group that competed with the Yellow Emperor for the world. His leader left for the northern wilderness after losing the competition, but insisted on using the title of emperor to show orthodoxy.

In "Historical Records, Five Emperors Benji", there is a record that the Yellow Emperor chased meat porridge from the north. In the Shaokang era of the Xia Dynasty, the Xia Dynasty dismantled the meat porridge tribes, unified governance, and divided the ancient Huns into five. It's just to expel the Northern Wilderness, but to send officials Yizheng to manage the five caste tribes.

After the war, the Xiongnu were defeated, so they professed their ministers to Xia and accepted the Yizheng sent by the imperial court. Their leader, the Hun porridge emperor, dedicated his two daughters to Shaokang, the queen of Xia.

However, Shaokang did not come at the place where he received the tribute. Instead, it was Jintian Zudi who led the Northern Expedition. Zudi accepted the younger of the two sisters. This Zudi was Yizheng sent by Emperor Xia.

After that, Yizheng appeared, that is, Shanyu surpassed the five tribes of the ancient Xiongnu, and obtained the privilege of sacrifice in Dongyi County, so he was named Tuhe.

Historically, it wasn’t until Emperor Wu of the Han captured the Tianjin people who owned the Xiongnu Xiutu that the Han people knew that the tribe inherited from the Xiongnu sacrificial artifact was the Xitu, and the Dongtu was a subordinate tribe of the Xiongnu (Tu He).

After Prince Xiutu returned to the Han Dynasty, he told Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, "Zu Di understood the Yi language for the barbarians, trained the barbarians to guard the East China Sea.

The main part of the ancient Xiongnu was meat porridge, and later it split into Danlue, Linhu, Loufan and so on.

But Tu He was not the Huns at first, they were sent by Emperor Xia Shaokang to manage the five divisions of the Xiongnu after the split, but later they became the dominant country of the Huns, became the Tu He tribe, and finally even merged with the Huns.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the original Tu He tribe was only in charge of the Xiongnu, but at this time Tu He was defeated by the Qi-Yan coalition forces and went north. After defeating the meat porridge, it was divided into two divisions, one part was merged with Tu He, and the name was Xiongnu. .One is called Hunyu, and it goes farther north.

Because the earliest Shanyu Zudi of the Tu He tribe was the daughter of Hun porridge and his relatives, Tu He was also called the Hun porridge nephew tribe.

Few of the men and women of the Yi Lost family understand this.

Listening to Lao Khan talking about it now, everyone can't help but listen in a daze.

"Khan, what does this Tu He have to do with our Xue Yantuo?"

"Naturally they are related. There is a legend in our tribe that the Xiongnu Shanyu gave birth to two daughters, who were so beautiful that everyone in the country regarded them as gods. Shanyu said, I have this daughter, who can be married to others and will be given to heaven. A high platform was built in an uninhabited area in the north of the country, and the two girls were placed on top of it. He said, "Please let the heavens welcome it. Every year, a black giant wolf guards the platform day and night and howls. Because the hole under the platform is a hole, it will not go away after time." The little girl said, "My father is here for me, and I want to think it is heaven, but now a wolf is coming, or a god, like an angel, I will follow it. The elder sister was shocked, this is an animal, and it is nothing to insult her parents. Sister If you don’t follow, you will become a wolf’s wife, give birth to children, and then multiply and become a country, so she likes to sing a long song, like a wolf howling.”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but looked at each other.

It's easy to sing a long song, like howling wolves, isn't it exactly their Xue Yantuo department?
Moreover, their Xue Yantuo tribe did indeed use the black wolf as the banner of the black totem.

"Think about it, is this story of the two daughters of the Huns offering sacrifices to the heavens related to the story in the history books of the Han people that the leader of the ancient Xiongnu's meat porridge was defeated by Xia Emperor Shaokang's army and offered his two daughters for peace? As a result, Xia Emperor Shaokang did not come. , but Yizheng (Shanyu) Zudi led his troops to come, and finally accepted the girl, right?"

Now everyone was even more shocked, why did they imagine it like this.

It's just that in their stories, it was Shan Yu who offered his daughter to heaven, and the wolf came, and the girl became the wolf's wife in the end. However, the history books of the Central Plains record that after Xia Emperor Shaokang defeated the meat porridge department, the head of the meat porridge was forced to take The two daughters were married, but in the end the young girl was married by the sent Yizheng.

"These two stories are similar."

"What does it look like? This was originally a thing. It's just that China has written records and passed it down from generation to generation. But we don't have written records, so we can only pass on stories.

"Great Khan, you said earlier that Tu He was originally the administrator of the Huns, and later merged into one. If you say that, isn't our Xue Yantuo the Tu He tribe?"

"That's right, our Xue Yantuo comes from Tu He. It is the most orthodox and noble blood of the Northern Hu, much more noble than the Turks."

The Tu He group ruled the ancient Xiongnu since the Xia Dynasty, and was recognized by various tribes, establishing their orthodoxy in the Hu system, which has continued since the Xia Dynasty.

There are nine kinds of barbarians in the East recorded by the Han people, the sixth refers to meat porridge, and the seventh Dongtu is their Tuhe.

It is recorded in many Chinese ancient books that Tu He was the predecessor of Donghu.

Since the late Spring and Autumn Period, Hun porridge and Tu He are no longer juxtaposed, but the name of the Huns has appeared, and the two have been merged into one.The Son of Heaven, the leader of Hun porridge, and Shan Yu, the leader of Tu He, were also joined together.

Tu He's most noble clan, the Xulianda clan, is also the Jintian clan led by Jintian Zudi.After Jin Ridun returned to the Han Dynasty, his tribe was named Xiutu by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which is exactly the name of Tu He.

Xue Yantuo is one of the tribes of Tiele, and Tiele comes from the Erut tribe, which is derived from the Xiutu tribe at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and is divided into large and small Eluwu.

The big root moved westward to Jinshan, and the small root stayed in Pingliang. After that, the big root became the main force of the Northern Huns.

Old Khan looked at the black wolf flag outside, "You must remember that everyone should know where their roots are and who their ancestors are, and why the tribes on the grassland, ups and downs, have never been able to truly communicate with the Central Plains. It is because we have no history and do not know the glory of our ancestors. However, the Huaxia in the Central Plains, no matter how they change dynasties, they always remember their ancestors, continue their civilization from generation to generation, and inherit the glory of their ancestors.”

"I think our ancestors are so glorious, but how many do we know? We are like the weeds on the grassland. We grow one crop after another. No matter how dense it is in summer, it will still wither in the wind and frost. If we know If we know our own history, know our own roots, and inherit the glory of our ancestors, then we can become trees, no longer grasses that grow once a year. We can continue to grow until we grow into towering trees.”

"The Turks are of the same origin as us, but at the beginning the Turks oppressed us as slaves. Because the taxes were too heavy, we Tiele people were dissatisfied. As a result, he became suspicious of us and summoned the leaders of our Tiele tribes to discuss the matter. But killed more than 100 of our leaders at one time. I witnessed how many leaders of brother tribes were ruthlessly killed by the Turkic Oman Khan.

I will never forget the day when we were like livestock to him. "

After he escaped by chance, after he came back, he and the leader of the Qibi tribe, Ge Leng, raised the flag to rebel against the Turks. Ge Leng was the Great Khan, and he was the Little Khan.

It's just that they joined together and failed to defeat the Turkic Khan, and eventually had to move to the east and seek asylum from the Eastern Turks.

But the East Turks did not regard them as their own.

In Mayi, at the foot of the Great Wall, Shibi Khan defeated Luo Cheng. In order to avoid being unable to suppress Tie Le in the future, Shibi ordered Ge Leng and others to launch a suicide attack on the strong Shahukou Great Wall, but Ge Leng refused. , he killed Ge Leng and the warriors of the Khibi tribe.And he lost his job, in order to protect himself, he could only act as the executioner.
