People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1120: Being in Changzhou, controlling the world

In the dead of night, Li Xuan was lying on the bed, looking at the darkness above his head, thinking about other things.

If you want peace, just defending in Changzhou is not enough.

He needs to take the initiative and attract attention.

There is only one place.

Turks.

Liu Shubi was lying next to Li Xuan, holding one of his arms and falling into a deep sleep.

She was particularly obsessed tonight. The news that Liu Jinyu, Qu Douer, and Pei Shitong were pregnant at the same time really stimulated her.

Now, she was sleeping deeply, and it would be difficult to think about it in the morning.

Li Xuan gently closed her eyes.

The next moment, the vision in front of me was changing rapidly.

……

Under the moonlit night, on the vast grassland.

Hundreds of horses were galloping at great speed, led by Ashina Yun who returned to the grassland first.

No one noticed that Ashina Yun's eyes became deep in an instant.

The horses were rising and falling, and a group of people had quickly rushed towards the camp with a bonfire in the distance.

When the sound of horse hooves sounded quickly, dozens of guards in the campfire stood up at the same time, drawing their long bows.

At this moment, among the galloping horses, a Turkic voice shouted: "Get out of the way, the county lord is back."

In an instant, a dozen people rushed out from among the guards guarding the camp, stepped forward and pulled back the antlers guarding the camp.

The war horses swarmed in instantly and headed straight for the big tent.

In the big tent, swords were at war and smoke filled the air.

Ashina Nishugo sat at the central seat with a calm expression, with a golden cup of wine and roasted lamb on the table in front of her.

Ni Shougui held a short knife in one hand and sprinkled spices with the other, paying no attention to the fierce quarrel in front of him.

More than twenty grassland warriors held scimitars and shouted and cursed mercilessly at the Qianniu Guards of the Tang Dynasty opposite.

The Qian Niuwei on the opposite side also kept drawing their swords to confront each other. The blades faced each other, and a bloody battle would break out almost in the next moment.

Ashina Wenfu stood behind the crowd with cold eyes, crossed the gap, and his eyes fell on the young Qianniu Guards General of the Tang Army opposite.

Two pairs of cold eyes collided with each other, blood and madness deep in their eyes.

They are all ready for a bloody conflict.

But no one dared to do it easily.

After Datang left the Great Wall, with the arrival of more Turks, the number of Datang's guards had become weak.

There were only a dozen people in the tent.

But the soldiers of the Tang army were never easy to deal with. Everyone was wearing armor and had sharp Tang knives in their hands. After a battle, the Turks would definitely suffer huge losses.

More importantly, they still have crossbows in their hands.

Ashina Wenfu's eyes fell on Ashina Nishugui, who was not wearing any armor.

Just sitting there calmly.

Wen Fu raised his head and looked at General Qianniu Guards across from him, and said in a cold voice: "You go, I will let you go back to the Great Wall."

Qianniu Weilang looked at Wen Fu calmly and said calmly: "We have no intention of going back alive this time. Since we are all going to die, it is better to die at the foot of the Great Wall than to die deep in the grassland."

Ashina Wenfu's face instantly darkened.

They had just left the Great Wall. If these people really died here now, Datang would react immediately.

Naturally, they cannot be chased and killed, but if a large army is immediately formed to prepare for the attack, the Turks' advantage on the battlefield will be immediately reduced to the limit.

The most important thing is to give Datang an excuse to take action.

Wen Fu quickly calmed down and looked sideways at Ashina Gudulu. What happened today was the result of his constant suggestions behind his back.

After drinking, no one can control it.

Ashina Gudulu gave Wen Fu a penetrating look, then looked to the opposite side and shouted loudly: "I want to die, so it will be possible now..."

"Who...who..." A cold shout came from outside, but the voice got closer and closer, and finally rushed directly to the tent.

Ashina Wenfu turned his head subconsciously.

The next moment, the curtain was lifted, and a dashing female general wearing silver armor, a green robe, a red cape, and a mink scarf rushed in, holding a riding crop.

More than a dozen Turkic warriors immediately rushed into the tent and forcibly separated the Tang Dynasty Qianniu Guards and the Turkic warriors.

The green-robed female general stepped forward with a solemn expression, then walked up to Ashina Nishugui, half-knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Father, my daughter is late."

"It's not too late, my father is still alive, isn't he?" Ashina Nishugui waved his hands indifferently, then looked at Ashina Wen Fu and Qianniu Weilang General, and said calmly: "You two, what happened today Let's stop here. From now on, Gu's daughter, Ashina Yun, the head of Jianchang County, will be responsible for Gu's protection.

You two, you have no objection, right? "

Ashina Wen Fu suddenly looked at Ashina Yun.

Of course he knew Ashina Yun, but he never thought that she, who was rumored to be dead, was still alive. "Just these few people can't protect Khan's safety." Ashina Gudulu turned his eyes to Ashina Nishugo.

Ashina Nishugo's grandfather was Tuli Khan, who was granted the title of Prince of Beiping in the Tang Dynasty. However, Tuli's son Ashina Heluogu rebelled and was exiled to death, so Nishugo no longer had the title of prince to inherit. , there was only one official position, Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang General, but his daughter had the title of County Lord.

Now they call Ashina Nishuge Khan, and their deep intentions are no longer concealed.

"There are more than just a few of us." Ashina Yun looked up at Ashina Wenfu, sneered slightly at the corner of his mouth and said, "Chief Wenfu, you were still looking for us all over Chang'an last month?"

Ashina Wen Fu was slightly startled, and then his face changed drastically: "You are..."

Ashina Yun waved his hand directly, looked at the many Turkic chiefs behind Ashina Wenfu, and said directly: "The Khan has returned, you can go back and wait for the summons."

Many Turkic chiefs looked at Ashina Wenfu at the same time.

Ashina Wenfu had an ugly expression on his face, but he nodded slowly, and then he looked at General Qianniu Weilang opposite him: "General Li Lang, what did the Tang Dynasty say?"

This time the conflict between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty broke out, the root cause was the struggle for the right to protect Ashina Nishugui.

Of course, they were called guards in name, but in fact they regarded Ashina Nishugo as a controllable puppet. However, I didn't expect that Ashina Nishugo was not that novice.

Qianniu Weilang calmly turned his head to Li Lingwen, looked at Ashina Nishugui, and said deeply, "As long as the general Zhonglang can make the decision on his own, Datang has no objection."

Ashina Nishugui nodded heavily and said, "General Li Lang is indeed extraordinary. He is worthy of being the grandson of Duke Wei."

Qianniu Guards General Li Lingwen, his father Youjinwu Guards General Li Dazhi, his grandfather Li Keshi, the former governor of Youzhou - the third brother of Li Jing and Li Yaoshi.

Although Li Dejiang, the Protector of the Chanyu Protectorate, was transferred back to the court, he was still the Protector of the Chanyu Protectorate.

Once Li Lingwen arrives at the ancient city of Yunzhong, the military power of the Shanyu Protectorate will be immediately used by him. By then, it will be even more difficult for the Turks to deal with them.

"Farewell." Li Lingwen didn't hesitate at all, and immediately turned around and walked away, followed immediately by the Qianniu Guards behind him.

Immediately afterwards, Ashina Wenfu bowed deeply to Ashina Nishucuo, then turned and walked away. The Turkic chiefs in the tent also left one after another.

Ashina Gu Dulu was last, looked deeply at Ashina Yun, and then turned and left.

Soon after, many Turkic chiefs began to be called into the big tent and began to visit Ashina Nishugo again.

……

The night was dark, in the Tang military tent.

A Qianniu guard quickly entered the military tent, said a few words in Li Lingwen's ear, and left quickly the next moment.

"General, what's going on?" A Qian Niu Bishen on the left side of the tent immediately handed over his hand.

Qianniu Weilang looked at Li Lingwen and said to everyone, "Just now, eight Turkic chiefs went to visit Ashina Nishugo."

"Ashina Wenfu doesn't care?"

"He wants to control it, but he can't. These are the tribes under his command that were once extremely powerful, and they are not the same group as their Jieli subordinates."

Li Lingwen raised his head, knocked on the table gently, and asked, "Do you feel that something is wrong tonight? It seems that someone is deliberately trying to provoke a conflict between us and Fu Wen."

"Someone doesn't want Fu Wen to turn back, right?" Qian Niuwei on the right guessed carefully.

"Perhaps, someone doesn't want everyone here to turn back." Li Lingwen somewhat guessed something.

Although Ashina Nishugo welcomes back to the grassland, offering sacrifices to the grassland is not a simple matter.

The chiefs of the twenty-four grassland states can unite to go to Chang'an, but they will not simply go to Dujin Mountain with dozens of guards to worship.

If it was Ashina Nishugui who made the decision, they could go. After all, Tuli was famous, but the real biggest force in the grassland now was Ashina Wenfu.

Among the chiefs of the twenty-four states, there were many who could not deal with him, and many who were close to the Tang Dynasty.

What will happen once these people return to their own ethnic groups and no longer go to Dujin Mountain?

According to grassland customs, Turks gather water from others in Dujin Mountain in mid-May to worship the gods.

To collect water from others means to ask each Turkic tribe to offer water from the water source of their own ethnic group.

It doesn’t matter if one or two movies are missing, but if there are too many, there will be trouble.

Therefore, by killing Qian Niuwei, we can not only control Ashina Nishugui, but also make all the Turkic tribes have no way to turn back.

"General, what should we do? Are we really just going to watch Ashina Nishugui return to the depths of the grassland?" The faces of many Qianniu Bei had become serious.

During the Zhengdan Dynasty, Ashina Nishugo said personally that he would return to Chang'an in the future, but looking at it now, he was willing to go back.

"It may be difficult for the Turks to break away from the Tang Dynasty." Li Lingwen thought about it and said: "It is not easy for these Turks to control them by force. Only by completely defeating this idea among them can they Be honest...

Of course, they will inevitably be dissatisfied again in the future, but now, if Ashina Nishugo and Ashina Wenfu can fight with each other and split the Turks, it may be best for the Tang Dynasty. "

Thinking of this, Li Lingwen immediately raised his head and said: "Prepare a team of people to send the general's memorial to Chang'an after dawn tomorrow and present it to His Majesty and the Queen in person!"

"Here!"

……

Empress Wu put down the memorial in her hand, looked at the emperor beside her and said, "Your Majesty, Li Lingwen, the right Qianniu Guardsman general, suggested that Ashina Nishugo have more real power."

Li Zhi lightly knocked on the table and asked, "Have our people already sneaked in?"

"Already lurking." Empress Wu nodded directly and said: "Ashina Wenfu thought that he would drive away the Qianniu Guards who followed Ashina out of seclusion, so he drove away all the informants of the Tang Dynasty, but he But he didn’t know that among the people he brought back, too many people from the Secret Guards and Staff Division had already infiltrated.”

"Well!" Li Zhi nodded slightly and did not speak immediately. He just thought lightly. After a moment, Li Zhi said: "We have done everything we can. After all, we don't have too many people on the grassland. The general trend is that one A familiar person is a familiar target, and with him around, it is always easier to deal with than other strangers."

"Then I will ask the people over there to follow Ashina Nishugui to find out the true background of the Turks." Empress Wu's expression became solemn.

"it is good!"
