Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 672: Tingzhou Incident
Ashina Zheyun, the son of Ashina Helu, the governor of Yaochi, escorted Wusun Tianma to Chang'an.

Xue Rengui tried his hand at it.

The Wusun Tianma has graceful curves, and its mane flutters in the wind when it runs. Although it has not been cut into the three-flowered shape that was loved by the Tang Dynasty people, it is still so pleasing to the eye.

Wusun Tianma's speed was indeed pleasing to the eye, but its carrying capacity was its shortcoming, and Xue Rengui soon lost interest.

However, Emperor Yonghui was so happy when he saw this galloping appearance that he mounted his horse and trotted for a while.

This Wusun Pegasus had been tamed when he was in Tingzhou, and his temperament was not violent. This was why Emperor Yonghui dared to take advantage of it.

Unfortunately, as the emperor, not to mention his average riding skills, even if he is agile, he cannot gallop to his heart's content.

Even with Emperor Taizong's skill, after riding his horse to hunt, there were still many ministers admonishing him, let alone him?

But you can't say that the minister's advice is unreasonable.

Emperor Yonghui only kept Ashina Zheyun for a few days, named a nominal Youxiao Wei Zhonglang General, rewarded him with some property, and let him return to Mohe City.

With the coming and going of Ashina Zha Yun, preparations for the Hanhai, Tianshan and Yiwu armies in Tingzhou have been completed. It is still very easy to mobilize some troops and horses from the Longyou states and recruit soldiers in the Anxi Protectorate. .

The focus of recruiting soldiers is of course not to serve as soldiers and eat food. The Tang Dynasty's rewards for military exploits can make many poor families jealous.

More importantly, recruiting troops is not limited to Han people, barbarians can also be included!
Even though the Chuyue and Chumi tribes fell to Ashinahelu's side, many tribesmen still happily joined the three armies of Tingzhou.

Individual choices are often not consistent with the direction of group choice. As long as it does not harm the interests of the group of origin, there is nothing wrong with it.

But the proportion of barbarians is still a very small number.

It's not that there is discrimination or anything, it's just that the discipline of the Hu people is relatively poor, and many people can't bear the strict constraints.

The recruitment of troops for the border army is slightly different from that of the imperial army. Horses, knives and other items no longer need to be recruited, but are all the responsibility of the Protectorate.

The basic conditions are different. Even if you let the recruits go out on their own, they won't be able to do it.

Ten thousand people and 2000 horses can barely equip [-] people on horseback. The infantry regiment is still the absolute main force.

No way, there is a group of six pack horses, and it is really stressful to be fully equipped.

This is the reason why the soldiers are required to go out on their own. The baggage of the soldiers is quite large. It is just armor, spears, knives, pendulums, bows and arrows. The weight is enough.

Not to mention axes, awls, curtains, cloth troughs, bowls, salt, millet, human medicine, horse medicine and other extremely complicated items.

Fortunately, Luo Hongyi finally passed through Hulu's house, found Hulu's residence, and added more than [-] pack horses, so that the three armies were complete.

Trivia: Hulu Juquechu is the son-in-law of Ashina Helu.

Sip, said separately, is like Qijin, both are official names of Turks.

Now you know that your son-in-law has tricked Taishan a lot, right?
Just kidding, Hulu Juque has its own needs. Food, tea, silk, and porcelain are all they urgently need to supplement.

Silk can be said to be a luxury product. If you are in a hurry, kill two lambs, wash the skins, and then wrap them in saltpeter;
Porcelain is also decorated in style, but food and tea are necessities.

Don't think that eating beef and mutton every day will bring you happiness. Firstly, the value of livestock is high and it is not cost-effective. Secondly, eating meat as the staple food every day is easy to get angry and greasy.

Man, you have to mix meat and vegetables. After all, you are an omnivore.

The friendship between father-in-law and son-in-law is real, and the relationship between husband and wife is even more real.

Returning to Mohe City in Tingzhou, Ashina Yuyun, who felt that he had been slighted in Chang'an City, persuaded his father to lead his troops to the west and fully take over the hometown of Ashina, the Khan of Yibidulu.With enough confidence, you no longer need to be dependent on others or look at their faces!
The sky is high and the horses are fat, and the endless grassland allows the Western Turks to gallop. Even if they lose the Western Region, the loss will only be [-]%.

The land of Western Turks is so vast!

As long as we are not greedy and do not conflict with the Tang Dynasty, can my father and son not be the family of the Western Turks?

No matter what, our last name is Ashina!
"However, if Datang is taken away and Yibi Shekui reacts again, we may not be able to sustain it."

Ashina Helu was still a little hesitant.

After all, he is as powerful as he is now, not because of his outstanding abilities, but because of the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

"When doing great things, don't be afraid of wolves before and tigers behind." Once you make up your mind to betray, the word "tiger" will no longer become a taboo word for Ashina's luck. "Give it a try! If it's done, I'll give you my Tocharian concubine!"

Ashina Helu gave his son a slap in the face: "Nonsense! I, the Turk, can accept step-marriages, but I am not allowed to engage in prostitution!"

This involves the Turkic marriage system.

"History of the North: Biography of the Turks":
Men and women dressed in fine clothes will be gathered at the burial site.

If a man loves a woman, he will send someone to ask about her as soon as he returns home. Many of his parents will not disobey her.

The deceased's father, brother, uncle, children, nephews, wives, stepmothers, aunts and sisters-in-law, but the venerable ones are not allowed to commit adultery.

They are found in burial places because of their dispersed living characteristics;
In the case of step marriage, the biological mother is not allowed to be adopted, but the female relatives left by the deceased or elders can be adopted;
Elders are not allowed to covet the women of younger generations.

In Chinese terms, Xu Hao is not allowed to announce his marriage.

Li Longji's behavior was despised even by the Turks.

With this rule, it's no wonder Ashina Helu is angry.

Ashina Yun smiled and said: "In this case, my father will go one step further. In the name of Shahbalo Khan, he will use the five crossbows to destroy Yibishegui."

"It's a pity that Tingzhou has already taken precautions and it is inconvenient to plunder."

It was logical for Shaboluo Yehujin to become Shaboluo Khan, but it was a pity that he could not be canonized by the Tang Dynasty.

Ok?
The original intention was to break away from the control of the Tang Dynasty. What kind of canonization was needed?
On the way back, Ashina Zheyun saw the Tianshan Army. Although the number was small, many Turkic soldiers and horses had to be sacrificed to survive, which was not cost-effective.

As a result, the great banner was raised in Mohe City, and Ashina Helu named himself Shaboluo Khan, named Ashina Zeyun as Mohe Du Yehu, led his troops to leave Tingzhou, and conquered Yibi Shekui Khan.

As for the shortage of money and food, it doesn't matter. You can also blackmail the nine surnames of Zhaowu. Anyway, they are rich but lack force.

In a broad sense, the nine surnames of Zhaowu are also vassal states of the Western Turks.

Luo Hongyi, the governor of Tingzhou, and Gao Kan, the pacifier of Beiting, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This is comparable to the time of the crusade against the nose of the car. At that time, Gao Kan had the initiative and was not afraid of thousands of troops on the opposite side. Now he has to defend the land and protect the people, and the pressure is much greater than then.

If it is purely defensive, there is not much room for maneuver. Even Gao Kan is a famous general, but it happens that his daughter-in-law cannot make a meal without rice!
Twenty thousand, as long as there are twenty thousand soldiers and horses, Gao Kan can beat Ashina Helu into panic and flee.

The Yibi Shekui Khan of the Western Turks put up his troops to fight in embarrassment, but was shocked to find that the number of Wudulu troops under his command was quietly decreasing.

Upon closer inspection, Yibi Shekui Khan cursed loudly, and Hulu Juqueshu's men and horses were all withdrawn without realizing it. Even the former tough guy Hulu Wu was gone!
