A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 519

Power can make people lost, even stupid.

Ashina was frivolous in his association, but Wu Huaiyu just threw out a little bait, and he lost his way.He didn't even think about it, even if Datang was really disappointed in Little Khan Tuli, it would not be his turn to support him.

Under the current Turkic Khanate Jieli Khan, there is also Shabola Khan Ashina Sunisi, who is the same mother and brother of Qimin Khan, the uncle of today's Jieli, and the great-uncle of Tuli.It was originally set up by Shaboluo, with [-] governors, stationed in the northwest of Yaling Prefecture, with strong strength, so it is now a small Turkic khan.

Below this old wolf, there are still several powerful people in Turkic, such as Yusheshe Ashina Momo, the son of Chuluo Khan, who is stationed in Yahetao, with tens of thousands of governors, Yusheshe also has a younger brother Tuoshe A Shinasher and Tuli Khan's younger brother, Yugushe, guarded Mobei together.

Under the great khan Jieli, there are two young khans, Tuli and Shaboluo, and three very powerful khans, Yu Sheshe, Tuoshe, and Yugushe.

Underneath, there are a lot of special services, such as Ashina Simo, Zhishisili, etc., and so on.

No matter how many rounds, it will not be the turn of the association.

But the more you think about it, the more excited you become. Wu Huaiyu just laughed at this guy's excitement, but that guy thought it was encouragement.

"My brother is indeed too cowardly,"

Jiesheer, a young blue wolf, was excited, revealing his ferocious nature. He whispered to Huaiyu, "As long as Datang can support me, as long as Wu Xianggong can support me, I will definitely do better than my elder brother." good."

"Oh? What are you going to do?" Huaiyu asked with a smile.

"If you don't do anything, I can arrange someone to poison Tuli, and then put the blame on Jieli, saying that he poisoned Tuli,"

Ruthless, indeed ruthless enough.

It is said that Tuli is still very kind to this brother, but now he wants to kill his brother with poison.

"Even if Tuli died suddenly, his son should take over the tribe, right?"

Tuli was less than 30 years old. She first married Princess Huainan of the Sui Dynasty, and later married Li Shentong, the daughter of Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an from the royal clan of the Tang Dynasty, who was granted the title of Princess Hejian.

Tuli's eldest son, He Luohu, was still very young, and the rest of his sons were even younger.

"Our Turkic tradition doesn't necessarily mean that the father dies and the son succeeds the son. Brothers end up with younger brothers. The Horodul is young, and the heads of various ministries will not support the Horodul,"

He even planned to murder his brother after Wu Huaiyu went to Jinlianchuan Tuli Yazhang. When Tuli died, he would contact the nobles of the tribe and ask Wu Huaiyu to come out to support him.

"As long as I inherit the position of Little Khan, I will immediately gather troops to attack Jieli."

What this guy thinks is really simple.

The black sheep of the pack.

Huaiyu still just chuckled and didn't give him the slightest response, but this guy thought that Wu Huaiyu had acquiesced.

"Mr. Wu, this guy can't be trusted." Li Jinyan persuaded Huaiyu when he heard about it after he left.

"I'm telling you this, of course I know this, this guy, hmph, but maybe he can take advantage of it."

"The governor's intention?"

"Although Tuli has been at odds with Jieli in the past few years and flirts with me, this kid has always refused to turn against Jieli. He is very cautious. We need to add fire to him."

"The governor wants to use the association?"

"It's not okay to stay in such a stalemate. Next year we will go to the Northern Expedition. If Jieli can fight Tuli first, then it will be even better if Yu Sheshe and Shaboluo Khan get involved."

Wu Huaiyu rode a white-hoofed crow, watching the continuous army coming out of the fortress.

2 horses, spread out on the vast grassland, still can't see the head and the tail.

It's a pity that the Central Plains has been able to defeat the grassland tribes for thousands of years, but it is difficult to truly control it.

After all, the Han family is still a farming civilization.

However, he thought of Tsarist Russia. Tsarist Russia expanded to Central Asia in modern times, and it was invincible in places such as the Kazakh prairie. It even expanded all the way east to Siberia and hit Heilongjiang.

The method of the Tsarist Russians is very simple, fortress tactics, the establishment of fortresses, and then with advanced weapons such as firearms to conquer and suppress the surrounding areas.

This trick is very simple, but they have used it for a long time without any disadvantage.

In fact, Datang also has strong advantages in terms of equipment and other aspects for the grassland, but think about the surrendered city built outside the Great Wall in order to cope with the attachment of the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty. For decades, the Han and Huns fought for this city outside the Great Wall. , fought many big battles, changed hands many times, and finally abolished it.

During the Sui Dynasty, the policy towards the grassland khanate was relatively strong, uniting the weak and separating the strong, dividing and drawing together, trying to split and weaken them, so that they could not twist together to fight against the Central Plains.

But when the Sui Dynasty died, and the great cause weakened at the end, Shibi Khan immediately sent troops to surround him in Yanmen.

In contrast, the Manchu and Qing dynasty’s strategy of ruling the grassland Mongols was more successful later. The Manchus and Mongolians married for generations, and then used the alliance flag to demarcate them, divide them and rule them, making these tribes a mess. There are tribal rebellions, but no matter how difficult it is to become a threat, coupled with other methods of weakening control, they are firmly controlled.

For Datang, Turkic is only the first challenge for Datang to prove that he can really stand up. The Turkic Khanate must be overthrown, or even beheaded, and the actual control line must be pushed to the foot of the Yin Mountain. There is a revival.

But to be stronger, there are still many difficult challenges, such as killing Tuyuhun in Qinghai, destroying Goguryeo in Liaodong, and even going out of Yumen Pass, restoring the Anxi Capital Protectorate of Han Dynasty, and controlling the Western Regions...
three days later.

Wu Huaiyu led an army of [-] Han and Tibetans to Jinlianchuan in Liangxing, where Tuli's tooth tent was located.

In the distance, a group of wolf family guards holding the silver wolf flag arrived. They were Tuli's elite guards, and they were riding away from the wolf.

Afterwards, Tuli also brought two princess wives, children, and a group of Turkic nobles under his command, as well as the tribal chiefs led by Xi, Khitan, and Miao to welcome them.

"Welcome Mr. Wu!"

Tu Li was still very disturbed that Wu Huaiyu suddenly brought 2 people out of the fortress to his tent, even though he and Li Shimin were sworn brothers, he also had a prince of Beiping County, and married the princess of Tang Dynasty.

But no one dared to be careless when they saw the 2 horses.

Jinlianchuan is a good place.

Tuli prepared a lot of cattle and sheep, and when the Tang army arrived, they immediately ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep. There are many livestock on the grassland, and they will also slaughter many males and small animals before winter. These will not let them spend the winter wasting fodder. No matter how you raise them, the fat loss is not worth it.

In the past two years, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks finally had a friendly truce, and border exchanges were opened up. Many things such as cattle, sheep, livestock, and furs in the hands of the Turks can finally be sold, and many good things can be exchanged for them.

Everyone's life is much better.

The herdsmen welcomed this Tang army with some caution. After all, a few years ago, they also went south to the Central Plains to plunder several times every year.

Here in Jinlianchuan, there are still many Han people who came back from the looting in the early years.

Tuli hunted a lot of deer in advance, and specially prepared a Megalodon feast for the welcome feast.

The so-called Banlong Banquet is actually quite special, it's not about getting a dragon somewhere, but drinking deer blood.

Tuli beckoned, and his attached wolf guards brought a big deer, and fixed the live big deer firmly with cowhide ropes.

A wolf guard took out a silver needle and pierced the Tianchi acupoint on the deer's head, and then stabbed the deer's nose with a silver tube.

"Please drink this fresh deer blood directly!"

Huaiyu looked at the silver tube handed over by the guard and did not refuse.

Deer blood is indeed a good thing, as long as it is not excessive, it is beneficial.

Drink a few sips of fresh deer blood, and then drink a few sips of prepared medicinal wine, then stab, drink blood again, and drink medicinal wine again.

This Banlong Banquet is really unusual.

In addition to drinking deer blood and deer medicinal wine, Banlong Banquet also has all kinds of venison meat. In fact, it is a whole deer banquet.

The civil and military generals of the Tang army all have a portion of venison today.

Soldiers below the officer level can only eat beef and mutton.

The dignified little Turkic Khan and King of Beiping County in the Tang Dynasty, Shi Bobi was very respectful to Wu Huaiyu, halfway through Banlong Banquet, he asked Wu Huaiyu if he had any plans for this visit by taking advantage of his drunkenness.

"I heard that Jieli now favors a fugitive from the Sui Dynasty named Zhao Deyan. Zhao Deyan took power and changed a lot of your old Turkic customs and habits. The government orders have also become cumbersome and harsh, and the herdsmen are very dissatisfied.

Xieli also trusted the Sogdians very much, but alienated the Turkic people. These Sogdians were insatiable and capricious.

Also, when Xue Yantuo led Tiele's tribes in Mobei to rebel, they fought continuously for years. In addition, in recent years, frequent disasters caused many livestock to freeze to death. Years of famines caused the herdsmen to suffer from hunger and cold. , He imposed heavy taxes on the tribes, and everyone suffered terribly.

I heard that Jieli collected the most taxes from the county king, but the county king did not pay what Jieli wanted. Jieli threatened to send troops to attack.
The king of the county is my sworn brother of the Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning, I met the king of the county in Weishui. Now I am guarding Youzhou. Hearing these news, I am very worried about the king of the county. I went out to see the king of the county.

If the king of the county needs any help, just ask, and I will try to help. "

What he said made Tuli both moved and puzzled.

Jieli shouted every day to send troops to teach him a lesson, but he didn't think that Jieli would dare to fight at this time, but since Wu Huaiyu came with Tang Jun, did Jieli really dare to attack him?
Tuli hurriedly expressed his thanks first.

At this time, Wu Huaiyu made an excuse to change clothes and asked Tuli to accompany him.

Tuli couldn't refuse, so he helped him get up and leave the silver wolf tent.

In a smaller tent, Wu Huaiyu held Tuli's hand, "I have an important piece of news, it's very urgent, Xieli has bought your brother's association rate, and he promised the association rate, as long as he poisons you to death." , then make him a little khan and inherit your wife, tribe, livestock, etc."

Tuli was shocked.

"How dare the association rate be so high?"

"In front of Little Khan, anything is possible. Before he came to welcome me, he took the initiative to show favor to me and wanted me to support him. Khan, be careful."

"You old thief Jieli, you're bullying people too much!" Tuli roared angrily, and the wolf was also angry.

"I will send Mr. Wu back to the camp immediately, please forgive me, I have to clean up the house immediately."

"Understood, I will not participate in the county king's family affairs, go back to the camp first, and we will talk about it when we meet tomorrow morning."

Wu Huaiyu did not hesitate to betray the association rate, even framed him, but he did not have the slightest hesitation or guilt. The association rate is such a wolfish ambition that there is nothing to sympathize with.

Back in the big tent, Wu Huaiyu got up to leave on the pretext of being drunk, and the generals of the Tang army also left, and the banquet ended early.

Huaiyu and the others returned to their camp.

Sure enough, soon there was a commotion in Tuli's Yating, with flames and shouts of killing, which lasted for about an hour and then ended.

The night passed, and Wu Huaiyu didn't sleep much last night. Although he didn't think the association rate was capable of escaping, and he didn't believe that it would involve the Tang camp, he still had to be careful in other people's territory.

"Captain, Tuli Khan is outside the camp, please see me."

Huaiyu smiled, "Please."

He wasn't worried that the association rate would tell Tuli that he framed him after he was captured, nor was he worried that he would say that he had supported him in poisoning Tuli, and Tuli wouldn't believe him whatever he said.

As long as he can find evidence that he murdered himself, Tuli doesn't care whether the association rate is instigated by De Jieli or supported by Wu Huaiyu.

Wu Huaiyu came to the gate of the camp. The young Tuli Khan had red eyes and blood stains on his body. He held a human head in one hand.

It was the head of his own brother Ashina, that young and ambitious guy, his eyes were still wide open at this moment.

"This dog slave really wanted to poison me last night. Fortunately, Mr. Wu reminded him in time. When my son-in-law left to catch this guy, he resisted desperately and was finally shot to death by random arrows."

Wu Huaiyu took a look at the leader, and said calmly, "Congratulations to the king of the county for eradicating this hidden danger, but you still have to be careful of Xieli, since he can even bribe the king's own brothers to instigate rebellion, blindly forbearance, I'm afraid it won't help, Xieli may become more and more reckless, pushing his limits."

Tuli was also annoyed.

The breath has not been smooth until now.

"Wu Xianggong is right. I can't bear it anymore, so I don't need to bear it anymore. I decided to fight back against Xieli. I will call on all Turkic tribes to resist Xieli and overthrow his tyranny."

Wu Huaiyu smiled and said, "If the name is not correct, the words will not be right. He is a big sweat, and you are a small sweat. If you attack him with troops, it is a rebellion."

"Then what should I do?" Tuli asked.

Huaiyu beckoned and called Lu Chengye, "This Lu Wulang from Fanyang Lu's family is very good at writing, please ask Lu Wulang to write a campaign against Jieli for the king of the county."

"I heard that Chuluo Khan died suddenly on the way to the south. It is said that Chuluo Khan died after taking the five stone powder given by Princess Yicheng. The five stone powder was poisoned. Some people said that the poison was Xieli. For Princess Yicheng, the two of them colluded and poisoned Chuluo Khan together. Then Princess Yicheng did not make his son Momo Khan, but Jieli as Khan, and Jieli also accepted the princess as Ketun. ..."

Wu Huaiyu is reminding Tuli that you have to start questioning the legitimacy of Jieli's becoming a Great Khan, and then enumerate his crimes as a Great Khan in the past few years, such as repeatedly invading the Central Plains, resulting in successive defeats and losing troops, and such as oppressing Tiele too much. , Leading to Tie Le's big rebellion, and his command to suppress it was not good, and the Turks lost their troops and generals.

Another example is that Zhao Deyan, a Han Chinese, is favored now, and the Sogdian Hu is reused, and he stays away from the Turkic people, and all kinds of exorbitant taxes and taxes oppress the tribe, etc.

You Tuli Khan raised troops, that is not a rebellion, you are the army of justice, to bring order out of chaos, it is difficult to raise troops to calm down.

"I suggest that when you raise troops, the king of the county, you'd better send someone to contact Yu Sheshe in Hetao, and Mobei, your brother Yugushe and Yusheshe's younger brother Tuoshe. You are all Chuluo Khan and Shibi The sons of the Khan all have the right to inherit the Great Khan. It was Jieli who poisoned Chuluo Khan and usurped the position of the Great Khan. The four of you should unite to fight against Jieli. According to the Turkic tradition, all the ministries will elect a person with high merit to be the Great Khan!"

"Of course, you are the first to raise the banner of righteousness, the king of the county. If you can make more contributions in the crusade at that time, and with the support of my Tang Dynasty, the new Khan's position must belong to you."

Tuli nodded straightly.

"Also ask the gentleman to lead his troops to help."

But Wu Huaiyu shook his head, "My Tang Dynasty signed the Weiqiao White Horse Alliance with Turkic, and now you are a family matter within Turkic, and it is not good for us to directly send troops to interfere."

"However, I can guarantee that Xieli will not send troops from my side to threaten your safety in the south. You can also temporarily move your family members, wives and children to the back of my Youzhou Mountain, and promise that Xieli will not threaten them."
