Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1404 Playing with Fire
Thunderous hoofbeats came from a distance, interrupting the picnic of Lord Horusch.

Under the blue sky, the Suiye River in early autumn is still green, and the wide Suiye River meanders through it.

The gray-haired Lord Mohesh raised his head, and he still didn't forget to shake his head lightly, shaking off the shaggy hair that hung around his neck.

The emperor had issued an order a long time ago, demanding that Hu Di, a barbarian from all over the world, change his Chinese name, change his customs, and even change his clothes and hairstyles to Chinese.

All the tribes in the Western Regions are vying to grow their hair and change their crowns, but the old He Luoshi still does his own way, he still retains the haircuts he has been used to since he was a child, and his idols will comb a few small haircuts, and he doesn't like the Chinese style. Clothes, even the royal robes given to him by the imperial court, the prefect's scarlet robes, he seldom wears.

Putting down the knife and meat in his hand, old He Luoshi saw a large group of knights coming in front of him.

fully armed.

Wearing a bright red cloak, if you look closely, the cloak is also trimmed with gold.The armor inside is also gold-rimmed and silver armor. They stepped off the same white horse and held lances, all of them are capable.

"It's the crown prince's Luben army." He Luoshi's son reminded him that his son had also been to the Central Plains as a hostage for six years, and had joined the emperor's pro-army, so he was familiar with the armor of the Qin army.

The emperor in red robe and gold armor is pro-army, and the one in gold-rimmed silver armor is the prince's pro-army.Those in full silver armor are the Imperial Army of the Northern Yamen, those in the black armor are the Habayashi Cavalry Army, and those in the black iron armor are the army of the Southern Yamen.

The colors of the armor of the Sanya army are different, and the colors of the military robes are also different. Even the military guards under the same Yamen of the Sanya have their own differences, and each military guard has its own military guard pattern logo.

The Luben army belonged to the inner government army in the Sanya, and was under the command of the crown prince. The number was not large, [-] soldiers, but they were very capable, and they were all commanded by generals.

Old He Luoshi saw that Ashina Buzhen rode his horse and galloped forward.

"Since when did Buzhen become the prince's running dog?" Old He Luoshi spat at the side with disdain.

Nabuzhen, the fifth grandson of Khan of Midianshi, once competed with his cousin Mishe for the position of Khan, and murdered more than [-] of Mishe's younger brothers and nephews in a surprise attack, forging a death feud.Later, Mishe led Chuyue, Chumi and other tribes to join Daqin, and Buzhen established himself as Duolu Yehu, but many tribes refused to accept it, and finally under the pressure of Daqin, they were forced to lead their troops to join Daqin.

The imperial court wiped out all the tribes of the Western Turks, and made concessions to continue the Jue Khan, who ruled the five Nushibi tribes of the original West Turks, and let Mishe become the Xingji Khan, and ruled the five Tulu tribes of the West Turks.

Later, the two sweats were reversed.

Tu Qi Shi used to be under Mi She's command, and then transferred to Li Bu Zhen's command.

However, since She Kui Khan was defeated by Yuan Xun, although Bu Zhen and Mi She both wanted to compete for the position of Khan, the old He Luoshi refused to accept it.

Old He Luoshi looked down on Buzhen and the others very much. As the descendants of the noble secret room and the royal family of Ashina, he was willing to be the dog of the Qin people and accept the thief as his father. Going to the west, at least the territory of the tribe is still preserved.

The breeze is calm and the sun is just right.

The lamb was just right too.

Old Horusch picked up the knife again and began to skillfully slice the mutton from the bone.

"Father, Bu Zhen brought Prince Lu Ben to greet him, do you want to get up and greet him?"

"What are you welcoming? If the Son of Heaven came in person, I would naturally stand up to greet him, but now it's only Buzhen who came, why should I welcome him?"

"Ke Buzhen brought Lu Ben to represent the prince."

"Even if the prince comes personally, I don't have to welcome him. He's not the emperor, he's just a young child. When he came to the Western Regions, he was so motivating. What's the point?" Old He Luoshi said disdainfully.

The old guy thinks that he has spent half his life in the Western Regions. He has been fighting continuously for decades, and the forces of all sides are fighting for it. However, he still rides with a sudden force and survives. The key is strength.

No matter who becomes the khan, the tuqishi led by him is also a powerful force.

But Daqin has gradually broken the rules here over the years.

Especially the sinicization policy made him extremely dissatisfied.

He divided his Tuqishi into three divisions: Heluoshi, Suogemohe, and Alish, and set up five counties and [-] counties, one county duke, four county marquises, thirty earls, and a bunch of sons and daughters. He is very dissatisfied with the fact that he is stationed in the Han Dynasty as an official, and he is also stationed in the army to build fortresses and settle people to cultivate fields.

If this goes on like this, within ten years, Tu Qi Shi will probably become a mess.So what he is trying to do now is to re-gather the power of Tuqishi, and even reunite the original ten surnames. They can continue to be attached to Daqin and be loyal to Emperor Qin, but Daqin can't interfere with them too much.

"Your elder brother went to contact Ge Luolu's department, but he doesn't know the result. He hasn't heard back yet." Old He Luoshi frowned.

Ge Luolu was nomadic in the area north of the Yili River Valley and south of Jinshan. He had three surnames, namely the Moula tribe, the Chiqi tribe, and the Tali tribe.The strength is quite strong. In the past, it was sandwiched between the Eastern and Western Turks, like a grass on the wall, and it likes to swing the most.However, since Daqin became the roost, they simply turned to Daqin.

In the area south of Tianshan Mountain and north of Yili, the imperial court set up three counties, housed the three departments of Ge Luolu, and set up fifteen counties below, and subdivided the three departments into fifteen tribes. Enfeoffment, and the implementation of demarcation.

Ge Luolu's leader used to have the title of Ye Hu granted by the Turks, and now his leader is also secretly dissatisfied with the imperial court's policy of enfeoffment, demarcation and Sinicization. He Luoshi sent people to lobby many times, trying to persuade them to join Tuqishi, Chebishi, Chumukun and other former Turkic surnames united to fight for greater autonomy.

"Leader Ge Luolu is not a trustworthy person. This person is vacillating and has no position." The son persuaded the old He Luoshi not to get too close to this kind of person.

Capriciousness is the tradition of the Grolu, and they have betrayed their friends too many times.

"I also know that the Ge Luolu people are capricious, but we have to win over more tribes to have a bargaining chip to fight for more autonomy from the imperial court."

"Father, I'm worried that this will backfire. Maybe the imperial court will think that we want to rebel. Once they feel that we are difficult to control, they may directly turn over the table, and the imperial court has this ability."

"Turn the table?" Old He Luoshi shook his head. He always believed that as long as they showed their allegiance to the imperial court as before, then they just asked for more autonomy, and the imperial court had no reason to overturn the table. Some allies, there will be hundreds of thousands of people at that time, will the imperial court be willing to take such a big risk to turn the table in this Western Region?
Although this was playing with fire, old He Luoshi always believed that he could control the situation.

"Don't worry, I have my own measure!"
