Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1369
The winter of the 12th year of Kaiyuan.

Kaiyuan Shenwu Sheng Wentian's car slowly drove into the main gate of Luoyang City. After five years of traveling, the emperor finally returned to Luoyang after drawing a huge circle.

Five years ago, the emperor's chariot also went out from this gate, went to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, then went east from Penglai to Lushun, inspected outside the customs, and then went north to meet the princes of Mohe, Xi, Qi, Shiwei, Tiele, etc., and then walked along the Great Wall all the way To the west, through the Nine Passes of the frontier fortress, condolences to the soldiers guarding the frontier, and visiting the immigrant people in the fields. The emperor's car drove through Fanyang, Datong, to Yulin, Wuyuan, and then to Lingwu, and went west through Wuwei and Zhangye, and went straight out of Yumen Pass. Anxi, Beiting, and finally drove all the way to the middle of the river, passed through the Aral Sea to the Caspian Sea, and went straight to the Volga River.

Western Turkic Yehu Khan mowed grass three hundred miles out to meet him.

The emperor arrived at the Volga River with a 20-strong army, which shocked Tong Yehu. The emperor's 20-strong army only had 14 Qin troops, and there were other feudal vassals in the Daxia River in the Northwest Ting River. The national army is [-].

All the countries along the way built towering and supreme avenues for the emperor one after another, and the civil and military personnel of the four Daoists of the Great Qin Dynasty also rushed to build countless beacon piers, post stations, and military forts.

Tong Yehu kneeled and bowed to the Emperor of Qin on the north bank of the Caspian Sea.

In front of the vassals, the emperor canonized Tong Yehu as Turkic Khan and Duke of Volga, and Kazakh Yehu was canonized as Duke of Caucasus.

After the Turks who once traversed the northern grasslands and deserts of the Central Plains were defeated again and again by the Central Plains, Tong Yehu finally brought the remaining 10,000+ Turkic people to surrender to the Emperor of the Central Plains, and the emperor allowed the Turks to survive.

It even made Tong Yehu the khan of the entire Turkic, but today's Turkic only has territories in the Volga River Basin, the Don River Basin, and the Caucasus area on the Caspian Sea.

To the east of the east coast of the Caspian Sea is the territory of Great Qin, and there is no Turkic share anymore. Even the original Turkic tribes in the Western Regions, with ten hatchbacks, these remaining tribes can no longer hold the banner of Turkic. The feudal vassals who became the Great Qin, each set up their own tribal banners, all closely united under the Great Qin Red Banner, and pledged their allegiance to the Holy Son of Heaven.

Tong Yehu got the canonization of Daqin Emperor, and finally he no longer had to worry about Daqin coming again. Their surrender, in exchange for a stable new home, would no longer be threatened by war.

Tong Yehu sent his daughter to the Qin Palace and his son to the emperor as a bodyguard. He paid tribute to the emperor every year and accepted Confucianism into Turkic to spread Confucianism.

The new Turks also agree that the Great Qin will open up the Silk Road in its territory, and like the Daxia vassal states in the river, allow the Silk Road within [-] miles to be under the direct jurisdiction of the Great Qin. The Great Qin can build beacon piers, build post stations, and set up fortresses. , stationed patrol road cavalry, moved criminals to garrison fields.

These conditions are all recorded on the stone, engraved with an inscription, and will be a covenant forever.

On the other hand, the Emperor of Great Qin also swore to the Tianmeng that as long as the Turks did not betray the Great Qin, the Great Qin would not use troops against the Turks for a day, and the Turks would always be the princes and vassal states of the Great Qin, ruling the duchies and counties of Yehu and Khasa. It will continue from generation to generation, and will be canonized by the Daqin Emperor from generation to generation, and Daqin has the obligation to protect the two princes.

If the two countries are invaded by foreign enemies, Daqin has the obligation to send troops to rescue.

Remembering the covenant Le Shi, Tong Yehu was finally relieved. In order to show his loyalty to the emperor, he directly took out [-] horses and [-] sheep as the first tribute to the emperor, and sent Turkic nobles One thousand daughters of our family and three thousand descendants of Turkic nobles, one thousand daughters of Turkic nobles will be brought back to the Central Plains by the emperor, and given marriages to the clan and princes, and three thousand children will join the Daqin army and become the emperor's bodyguards, or Guard the frontier for the emperor.

Originally, the emperor personally led an army of 20 to come here. If Ye Hu refused to surrender, a big battle would be inevitable.Now, the war has subsided, so the atmosphere along the Caspian Sea is full of joy.

Even the Central Plains merchants and Sogdian merchants who came with the emperor rushed to trade with the Turkic people with various commodities.

After taking the oath at the Volga River, Tong Yehu took the lead in personally leading the Roman Emperor Heraclius to come to the alliance with the Great Qin Emperor.

In this alliance, the Great Qin Emperor Luo Cheng finally formally met with the Roman Emperor Heraclius on the east coast of the Black Sea in the northwest of the Caucasus.

At this time, the war between Rome and Persia has reached a fever pitch. Both sides have drawn allies and are fighting to the death.

Rome's important ally, the Turks, had to return to defend because the Emperor Qin suddenly led an army to the west, making him in a critical situation on the Caucasus battlefield.

Now the emperor has reached a relationship with the Turks as a minister. Although this is not a good thing for Rome in the long run, after all, Rome still hopes that the Turks will become their hard-core allies and become a buffer zone that isolates Qin from becoming stronger and stronger and expanding westward.

But now that his brows were burning, he couldn't care about anything else.

Even in the end, Ye Hu, the Turkic leader, professed his vassal to Emperor Qin, and there was also the role of Rome's active persuasion. Rome hoped that Ye Hu, the leader of the Turks, could reach an alliance with Emperor Qin as soon as possible, so that he could lead the Turkic army back to the Caucasus battlefield as soon as possible, and share the burden for him. The pressure of the Persian army to contain some of the Persian troops.

Regardless of the tense battle situation, Heraclius personally rushed to the Caucasus to meet the Emperor Qin.

He hoped that Emperor Qin would bring his 20 army from the west to join the war against Persia. If Rome could lead this 20 army to join the war, and with the Turkic army of [-], Persia would be defeated.

But the emperor smiled and refused.

During the ten-day meeting, the emperor of Qin talked most about the friendship treaty between Qin and Rome. Regarding Rome, Qin emphasized that he would strengthen the northern route of the Silk Road. This line is extremely difficult and rarely crossed.

But now, after Daqin has settled the Turks, he is willing to make great efforts to strengthen the development of this Silk Road.

Daqin is only willing to provide Rome with more commercial goods through the Silk Road, including some military supplies they need, but will not send troops directly.

In the end, Heraclius had no choice but to agree to Luo Cheng's proposal.

Daqin and Rome signed the covenant of the two emperors in the Caucasus, also known as the Caucasus Treaty. The treaty was officially signed in the name of the two emperors and demarcated the border between the two countries. The border of Daqin reached the Black Sea.The two countries demarcated the Black Sea from it, with the eastern half belonging to Great Qin, the western half to Rome, and the Sea of ​​Azov in the north completely belonging to Great Qin.

Of course, in fact, the vast area from the east of the Black Sea to the east coast of the Caspian Sea is actually within the Volga Principality and the Caucasus County, which were vassals of the Great Qin Empire.But both countries are now vassal states of Great Qin, so these places are naturally within the territory of Great Qin.

What the Roman emperor finally got from Rome was that the emperor allowed Yehu's Volga Principality and Khazar's Caucasus County to send troops to assist Rome.

On the other hand, Daqin added a huge military loan to Rome, which was used to increase the purchase of military supplies from Daqin.

Another one is that Daqin promised to strengthen the northern line of the Silk Road and increase trade volume with Rome.

Finally, when Heraclius left, he left behind the Roman princess he had brought, and he offered to propose that the two countries marry to strengthen the alliance.

The emperor married the daughter of Heraclius, so the two countries became a country of relatives in name.
