A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 517
Mow the grass to clear the way, offer the deer's tongue,
This was actually done by Tuli Khan's grandfather, the old Tuli Khan, also known as Qimin Khan.

After Sui Yangdi ascended the throne, Qimin Khan personally led the Turkic tribesmen to mow the grass for Yang Guang when he visited the frontier fortress in the north.

Very respectful.

However, Shibi Khan, who mowed grass and hunted deer with him at the beginning, followed Yang Guangdong to conquest Goguryeo several times. After seeing through the Sui Dynasty's foreign powers and middle-ranking forces, he resolutely counted dozens of soldiers during Yang Guang's second tour of the north. Wan Langqi came to raid Yanmen and surrounded Yang Guang in Yanmen. Yanmen had 41 cities, but he captured 39 cities and almost captured Yang Guang alive.

In fact, the Siege of Yanmen was only 13 years ago.

On the Dragon Chair of the Central Plains, a new real dragon emperor was replaced, and the prairie wolf family also changed several wolf kings.

The Shibi Khan of Weiyanmen died young, and his two younger brothers Chuluo and Jieli took over successively, but his own son, Shibobi, was just a little Tuli Khan.

"This Tuli is so respectful, is there any fraud in it?" Mr. Duan asked.

"Tuli has had a hard time in the past two years. Jieli blamed him for the failure of Weishui. The nephew and uncle almost decided to start a war. After all, Tuli is just a little khan, and his strength is far inferior to that of Jieli. Now Jieli's life is getting more and more difficult. I heard that Jieli can't take it any longer. He called Tuli to the Khan court several times for questioning, but Tuli refused to go because of excuses. Jieli was already planning to send troops to destroy his nephew. "Cripple Peng said with a smile, he has done a lot of trade with the Turkic side now, and he has a deep understanding of the internal situation of the Turkic.

Everyone knows that the relationship between Xieli and Tuli has broken down. The herdsmen on the grasslands all know that the uncle and nephew are going to have a big fight.

This is when the fledgling Tuli wants to challenge his uncle, the wolf king.

This kind of thing is very common in the grassland, and the herdsmen are not surprised, and even have a bit of a mood to watch the excitement. Anyway, Turks are no different from Rouran, Xiongnu, etc. It is like this on the grassland. Those who are honored.

Tuli is the same as Yu Sheshe and other core disciples of the Ashina family. They all have the right to inherit the Great Khan. It depends on who is stronger. When there is enough strength, they will definitely challenge.

Whether the son inherits the father's business or the brother will continue to be the same, it all depends on the strength.

When Shibi Khan died, Tuli was too young, and his stepmother, Princess Yicheng, supported his uncle Chuluo to inherit the Khan throne. He was young, and Tuli, who was named Nibuqi, was not as powerful as his uncle Jieli, and he still didn't get the Khan position.

Although Tuli is now a small khan, his strength is already quite strong, and Jieli's successive failures in the past few years, especially the rise of the Xueyantuo people in Mobei, have caused Jieli's great Khan's prestige to drop again and again.

Tuli naturally wanted to get Datang's support, and instead, he would be the Great Khan himself.

But Datang also had his own plans. Datang didn't want to really support Tuli as a great khan. Datang only wanted to win over Tuli, let him stab Jieli on his back, and finally wiped out Jieli, and even wiped out the entire Turks. no longer exists.

Of course, it was impossible to tell Tuli about this plan.

Tuli is the King of Beiping County and General Youwei appointed by Li Shimin in Weishui. In terms of official rank, he is still above Wu Huaiyu, the Duke of Yi, the General of the Right Leader, and the governor of Youzhou.

However, Wu Huaiyu now still has the title of envoy to the Tibetans, and Wu Huaiyu has the final say on all matters involving the Tibetans and Hus in Youzhou.

The scenery of Dushikou is beautiful.

In front of you is the Bashang Grassland of Yimapingchuan. The scenery is unique and beautiful. Even if it is not as beautiful in winter as it is in summer, it is still magnificent and beautiful, completely different from the scenery in the mountains.

The army encamped.

Wu Huaiyu asked someone to roast the deer tongue that Tuli personally hunted and sent.

Roast mutton, burn venison tongue.

2 horses set up camp is still very spectacular. Fortunately, there is Kang Po, the logistics manager, and Tang Fengxiao, Peng Laizi, and Duan Canjun to assist. There is enough food and grass, and even sheep soup to eat.

Lu 35 and Gao Shishi who accompanied the camp were still neatly dressed as men. They helped Wu Huaiyu barbecue, make tea, and cut the meat.

Wu Huaiyu looked at these two people, then at Lu Chengye, Gaowei Gaorong and his son beside them.

"Is Tuli reliable?"

It was Lu Chengye who asked the question.

Wu Huaiyu laughed in his heart, is Tuli reliable?It depends on the situation. If you want to talk about Tuli and Xieli, it must be Tuli who wants to unite with Tang to deal with Xieli, but it is wrong to say that Tuli is his own. Of course, Tuli's fundamental interests are still Turks.

Here, Datang has to grasp the speed well.

As long as the Tang Dynasty always gave Tuli the illusion that the court hated Xieli and wanted to support Tuli to replace Xieli and become the Great Khan of the Turks, so that the Turks led by Tuli respected the Tang Dynasty, then Tuli was of course willing.

Don't let Tuli realize that Datang is going to wipe out the entire Turks together, otherwise Tuli is unwilling.

"Captain, I think we can't be too nice to Tuli now, otherwise Tuli will have more ambitions when he is full-fledged. I think we should provoke Xieli to fight with Tuli first, and then don't support Tuli, let Tuli Get hit hard by Xieli first, then Tuli, who is at the end of his life, will have no way out to seek refuge with Datang, and I, Datang, can also take this opportunity to cause Xieli and Tuli to fight and get injured," Li Jin said harshly.

Tu Li respected Datang so much, but he felt that his current strength was too strong, and he had to make Tu Li miserable so that he could control and use it better.

"How to make Tuli and Jieli fight?" Lu Chengye asked.

Tuli and Jieli have been at odds with each other since they were at odds, and made trouble in secret. Now they are hostile to each other, but they still maintain some restraint. They both know that if they really fight, they may not be the ones who will benefit in the end, especially if Xue Yantuo is strong in the north. With the rise, Datang in the Central Plains in the south has grown in strength by leaps and bounds. They are caught in the middle, and they are not easy to fight among themselves.

"It's easy," Li Jinyan put on a mask to prevent the half-burned face from being too scary, and a cold laugh came out from under the mask. If he can't sit still immediately, he must start a war with Tuli, otherwise his prestige will be wiped out, and he will be completely unable to control those small Turkic khans and set ups."

"It is impossible for the imperial court to directly confer Tuli as Khan. If this is done, Jieli may directly send troops to attack Tang instead of fighting Tuli." Wei Xiaojie said bluntly while cutting the mutton.

After the Weishui alliance, the imperial court and Jieli basically maintained the alliance, not aggressing each other. Although each made small moves, at least no one officially broke their faces.

Jieli is now being forced to send troops to invade Tang, which is not in line with Datang's strategic plan.

"That's simple. There is no need for the imperial court to issue an edict. The governor will meet with Tuli. When the time comes, it will be revealed that the imperial court will support Tuli as a great sweat. At that time, the military governor will send troops from Youzhou to join Xi Qi and others in the western expedition. Lee, replace it."

"I believe that Jieli can't bear this winter and will definitely persecute Tuli. Either Tuli will go to Dingxiang Han to plead guilty and hand over his tribe and military power, or Jieli will send troops east to conquer Tuli,"

"Why didn't Jieli go south to attack Datang?"

"As long as the imperial court does not formally confer Tuli as the Great Khan, and does not directly send troops to attack Jieli, then Jieli must still be lucky. Internal troubles and foreign troubles must be internal before external. He will definitely deal with Tuli first and integrate Turks. Only then dare to attack Tang."

A group of people chatted while eating barbecue.

It seems that they are casually talking about a trivial matter.

But it is related to the dominance of thousands of miles of grassland.

At night, light a bonfire, wrap up a curtain, and continue chatting.

late at night.

Wu Huaiyu returned the account, but Lu 35 and Gao Shier followed.

"If you don't go back to rest, you have to go on the road tomorrow, a hundred miles a day, it will be very hard." Huaiyu said.

Gao Twelve went straight to the point,

"What does Mr. Xiang think of us?"

"What's the meaning of Mrs. Gao's words?"

"Since Mr. Xiang agreed to accept us as concubines, the marriage letter was written and the ceremony was delivered, but why did he still neglect us so much?"

"This is in the army, on the march,"

"so what?"

"Wait back to Youzhou, entertain the guests, hold the ceremony, and then the bridal chamber."

The two were not so easy to persuade, they had to say that Wu Huaiyu had a problem with them.

"Hehe." Huaiyu chuckled a few times, then took off her crown and belt, which made the two women who were chasing after her into the tent flustered.

"What is the governor going to do?"

"Didn't you say that I left you in the cold? Didn't you wait to go back to Youzhou? Then I'll be admonishing you all the time. Why don't we make those vain rituals? The moonlight is just right tonight, and it's also an auspicious day, so let's stay here directly." It's a consummation ceremony!"

After speaking, Wu Huaiyu unbuttoned her clothes.

"Ah, how can this work?"

The two women with superb swordsmanship blushed in fright and left in a hurry.

Huaiyu laughed, continued to take off his coat, yawned and lay down to sleep.

It's not that he has any opinion on the two of them, but that this is indeed in the army, and even though he and his father and brother have signed a concubine marriage contract, after all, the ceremony has not yet been held, and the door has not yet been passed.

Marching northward, it seemed very relaxed on the surface. In fact, Wu Huaiyu was also very cautious. The superficial relaxation was intentional.

Lu 35 and Gao Shier ran back to their camp with the caravan as if fleeing, but they were still a little panicked after entering the camp.

"You said he didn't really want to do that just now?"

Gao Twelfth's meeting was bold now, "I knew we would have two daughters serving one husband together, what are you doing, the moonlight is really beautiful tonight."

"Hmph, you were the fastest runner just now." Lu 35 laughed.

The two sat in the tent, laughing and angry.

The angry thing is that Wu Huaiyu is a little puzzled. I have heard before how he and his wife, Mrs. Fan, accompany him thousands of miles away, guarding them on the battlefield in Longyou, and the scandal between Wu Huaiyu and Mrs. Li. How come they are so neglected now.

"Is it because we wear men's clothes to him all day, so he doesn't like us?"

"Maybe, I heard that he has a lot of wives and concubines, all of them are from famous families, and they are all very beautiful. Maybe we really don't like him."

"Hmph, a lecherous vulgar man."

"Why don't we just go back to Youzhou."

The two complained, but they were unwilling to leave.

"Actually, when he is serious, he is really charming!"

"Yeah, you're crazy about peach blossoms."

"Aren't you the same, and you still talk about me."

"Haha!" The two romped and rolled into a ball.
