The best idlers of the Tang Dynasty

The Chu River Basin, the Bishkek Valley, this is Central Asia, a rare and fertile place, the Turkic camp is located in this place, covering a large area, with many tents, at least tens of thousands of people scale.

In the camp, melodious pastoral songs sounded from time to time. Some Turkic teenagers were practicing horse riding and archery under the guidance of adults. If they were not people who knew the inside story, who would have talked about this school of grassland pastoral songs?

Since the Western Turkic Khanate was wiped out by Su Dingfang, their tribe, under the leadership of the leader Yipidulu Khan, moved here. Although this place is not the grassland they are familiar with, their familiar home, but it is always With a habitat, there is no need to wander around and settle down like stray jackals.

Yipidulu Khan, named Yugushe, Ashina, the son of Shibi Khan, defected to the Western Turks after Jieli Khan was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, and established himself as Yipidulu Khan after 638 Since its establishment, Yugushe has been attacking each other with another force of the same period, that is, Khan Ashina and Russia, and fighting for control of the Western Regions. In 639 AD, the minister of Ashina and Russia He colluded with Yugu to lead troops to attack Tong Russia, and died in the same year after being defeated and fled to Central Asia.

After Yipidulu Khan gained the power of the Western Turks, he often attacked Yiwu, Yanqi and other places in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Taizong repeatedly sent people to ask questions, but Yipidulu Khan completely ignored them. The emperor couldn't bear it, and with Su Dingfang as his general, he attacked wantonly. [

Yipidulu Khan fought several times and was defeated. In the end, he had to lure his nephew and fled to Central Asia. After repeated struggles with the Arab Empire, he finally controlled a part of the Chu River Basin.

In the original history, Yipidulu Khan invaded Yizhou of Tang Dynasty in 642 AD and was defeated by Guo Xiaoke. Yipidulu Khan was executed, which caused resentment among the tribe.

Under the leadership of Hu Luwu, Nishuchu's subordinates attacked Yipidulu Khan, and Yipidulu Khan's tribe dispersed. As far as Chang'an, please ask the Tang Dynasty to depose Yipidulu and set up the Western Turkic Khan.

Emperor Taizong sent an envoy to set up Yibishekui Khan, and Yibishekui sent all the envoys of the Tang Dynasty who had been detained by Yipidulu Khan back to Chang'an.

Hou Yipidulu sent people to attract his original tribe, and the people in the tribe said: "If a thousand of my men die in battle, and only one survives, I will not follow you!"

Yipidulu Khan saw that all his relatives had betrayed him, and the situation was over, so he fled to Tochara. In 653 AD, Yipidulu Khan died, and his son Jiebi Dadu was named Zhenzhu Yehu.

Now because of a fork in history, Yipidulu Khan, who should have died of illness, is still built here, but his current situation is not much better than in history.

Defeated by Su Dingfang, he crossed Congling in panic like a bereaved dog, and fled to Central Asia. The khanate with millions of tribes was wiped out, and it has to be said that it is sad to be in a situation where it is now competing with the Arabs.

At this moment, Yipidulu Khan's face was gloomy, and he looked at Tang Envoy who was standing calmly in front of him. He had a very strong thought in his heart, wishing to cut Tang Envoy into pieces immediately.

Back then, the Great Khan of the Western Turkic Khanate ruled a large area north of the Tianshan Mountains, with millions of people, but now he was forced by the Tang Dynasty and was forced to flee to the west of Congling, for a small river valley, and The Arabs fought repeatedly, like jackals fighting for flesh and bones.

How could Yipidulu Khan not hate him? A few days ago, when Ibrahim Mohammad sent people to contact him to form an alliance against the Tang army, he heard that Su Dingfang had died in battle, and he celebrated with great fanfare. Just about to use up all the tribe's troops to kill Congling and retake the Turkic homeland.

But he never expected that Du Rui's envoy would arrive as soon as Ibrahim Mohammed's envoy was sent away.

"Du Rui asked you to come here and talk to him. If it makes sense, Ben Khan will leave you a whole body. If it doesn't make sense, Ben Khan will chop you up and feed it to Ben Khan's falcon! Speaking of which, Ben Khan This Falcon has not eaten the heart of the Han people for a long time!"

As Yipidulu Khan said, he carried away and stroked the falcon that had landed on the golden armrest of his throne for a while. Those sharp eagle eyes stared directly at the envoy Du Rui sent. Staring at it would make you shudder, but Tang Envoy was still calm and didn't take it to heart at all.

"Since the Khan wants to kill me, why bother to talk too much? My envoy sees that there are many knives and axes in the tent. I am a fish and meat, so why should I be afraid of the sword? The Khan just kills me. I am afraid that the Khan will be able to kill me today." I, will be killed by my family commander in the future!"

When Khan Yipidulu heard this, he said angrily, "Is this Khan afraid of Du Rui, that yellow-mouthed child!"

He said he was not afraid, but he really hesitated for a while. He knew Du Rui's name very well. Although he had never fought on the battlefield, Du Rui's previous record made him unable to care about it.

The envoy Tang laughed and said, "Khan is not afraid of my commander in chief, but he doesn't know whether he is afraid of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!"

Yipidulu Khan said stubbornly: "As long as you are from the Tang Dynasty, I am not afraid of you!" [

The Tang envoy forced him to ask: "Since Khan is not afraid, why was he attacked by us in the Tang Dynasty and was defeated in even a battle, and then he had to run like a wolf and a rabbit, across the Congling Mountains, and to Central Asia. You can’t even take care of it! What’s the point of this!?”

When Khan Yipidulu heard the words, his face turned red with anger, but he couldn't refute. The eldest son Jiebi Dadu beside him said angrily: "Bold Tang, you dare to humiliate my father Khan, I will kill you!"

As Jiebi Dadu said, he drew out the scimitar at his waist, and was about to slash at Tang Envoy's body, but Yipidulu Khan hurriedly stopped him. Although he didn't confront Du Rui head-on, he had heard of Du Rui's attack. Means, if he kills the envoy Tang today, Du Rui will definitely retaliate crazily in the future. Turkic is already seriously injured, and there are only so few people left, and they really can't afford a bigger loss.

Besides, he was familiar with what Du Rui did to Khitan back then. All the men who were taller than a wheel were slaughtered, corpses piled up in the Liaohe Plain, and blood flowed like a river.

Now Turkic's strength is far inferior to that of Khitan, but it can't stand Du Rui's killing. If Du Rui's killing god is annoyed, the end of Turkic will come.

Jiebi Dadu was stopped by Yipidulu Khan, and he was very dissatisfied. He always looked down on his father: "Father Khan! This Tang dog insulted me so much, why didn't you let me kill him?" he!"

Yipidulu Khan ignored Jiebi Dadu, and said to Tang Envoy: "Du Rui asked you to come, what is your plan, you can just say it, the two countries will fight each other, don't kill them, but if you come here, Even if it is to humiliate Ben Khan, Ben Khan will definitely not be able to get around you!"

Tang Envoy smiled calmly and said, "My commander-in-chief sent me here to show the Great Khan a clear path!"

"Minglu!?" Yipidulu Khan sneered, "The Tang people are the sworn enemies of our Turkic people. The reason why we are today is thanks to the Tang people, which made us far away from our homeland and unable to look after our ancestors." The tombs were all caused by you! Now you still dare to speak out in front of Ben Khan, pointing us to a clear path! You go back and tell Du Rui that Ben Khan has decided to fight with Governor Ibrahim Mohammad Let's unite and exterminate you together, and avenge the great revenge of the year!"

Hearing what Yipidulu Khan said, the Turkic generals in the tent also shouted.

"Get lost! Tang dog! Otherwise, I will cut off your head to sacrifice to the flag!"

"Go back and wash your neck, wait for us to kill, damn Tanggou!"

The envoy Tang remained unhurried, bowed to Khan Yipidulu, and said, "In this case, I will go back and return to my command. I think my commander-in-chief will welcome Khan's decision very much."

Yipidulu Khan frowned when he heard the words, and said, "What do you mean? Don't play tricks, don't think I don't know, this time your army only has more than 20 people, even if you add those Shiite blacks Leather dogs, there are not as many people as Ibrahim Muhammad, you will lose!"

The envoy Tang smiled slightly and said: "Khan is right, we do not have many people, but we don't have many soldiers, but we are fine. In the battle of Kucha, the cannibals were ten times larger than our army, but what is the final result? Marshal Du only needed one battle to kill Ibrahim Mohammed. Although our army is small now, it is far more than when we were in Kucha. Khan said that our army is invincible It's too early to say!"

Hearing this, Jiebi Dadu sneered and said, "Hmph! It's just a big talk! Since you are not afraid of failure, why do you still come here? Aren't you afraid that we will unite with the Arabs?"

The Tang envoy laughed and said: "This envoy has just said that I am here in the name of the commander-in-chief, to show you and other Turkic people a clear way!"

Jiebi Dadu wanted to refute again, but was stopped by Yipidulu Khan, and he couldn't understand what Du Rui was planning: "Okay! Ben Khan will listen to what you said about the way out! What exactly does Du Rui want?"

The Tang envoy said: "Although the Turks live in the desert and are far away from China, they can be traced back to the source. They are also Yanhuang. The evil between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks is brotherly rivalry. Now the Turks are weak. More killings, now my commander-in-chief is willing to let go of the past with the Khan and cut down the big food together. After the incident, it would be better for the Khan to return to his homeland! It seems that now, the Khan is doing his best to be a tribal son for petty profit Competing with the Tang Dynasty is not only invincible, but also has a lot of losses, so the gains outweigh the losses!"

Yipidulu Khan was stunned when he heard the words. He didn't understand the other words that the Tang envoy said, but he only heard one sentence clearly, which was to return to his homeland.

For so many years, the Turks have repeatedly fought against Dashi and Byzantium in Central Asia, in order not to accumulate strength, and one day, they will fight back to the Western Regions and return to the place where their ancestors thrived.

"Are you serious?" [

The Tang envoy said: "Why did my commander-in-chief ever believe what he said, but Khan actually professed his vassal to His Majesty the Tang Emperor and vowed never to betray him again!"

"It's natural!"

Swearing to belong to the Tang Emperor, this kind of thing is no burden for Yipidulu Khan. Looking at the history of the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic exchanges, I don’t know how many Turkic Khans have paid tribute to the Tang Emperor, but once the strength is enough , didn't they immediately mobilize troops to invade the border? For Yipidulu Khan, swearing an oath is simply a trivial matter.

Of course, Du Rui knew exactly what Yipidulu Khan was thinking, but Du Rui obviously would not give him this chance. The Turkic vassals are fine, but they must be attached, and the vast territory north of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions will be handed over to him. It is obviously impossible for them to operate.

"Is it really that simple?"

The Tang envoy then explained Du Rui's arrangements for the Turks. The reason why Du Rui wanted to appease the Turks was to prevent them from joining forces with the big cannibals. Trouble, on the other hand, it's because Du Rui doesn't want to add more killing and abuse. For so many years in politics, there are tens of millions of people who died directly or indirectly in Du Rui's hands. If we follow the Buddhist doctrine of karma In other words, Du Rui's crimes, even if he was thrown into the Ebi region, are not enough to atone for his sins.

When Khan Yipidulu heard this, he was in a dilemma for a while. It was easy for him to be a vassal, but if he wanted to attach himself, he would be completely stuck by the Tang Dynasty. If he wanted to spread his wings and fly high in the future, it would be impossible. up.

Seeing that Khan Yipidulu did not speak, the Tang envoy knew that he was hesitating, so he said, "Khan! Please turn your back, I have something to say to Khan!"

Yipidulu Khan was taken aback for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and finally waved his hand, causing everyone to retreat. When Jiebi Dadu was about to leave the tent, he gave Tang Shi a fierce look. Rui's proposal was not at all interesting.

When only Yipidulu Khan and the Tang envoy were left in the big tent, Jiebi Dadu said with a gloomy expression, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it now!"

The Tang envoy said: "Khan! I think the future of the Turks is bleak! Now the Turkic tribes only talk about hundreds of thousands, and what they can control is only a few tens of miles. If Khan listens to Ibrahim Even if it is a fluke victory, does Khan think he can get the reward promised by Ibrahim Mohammed? For more than ten years, the Turks have fought against the Great Tang, and other The hatred is already deep, and when Datang retreats, it will be the opportunity for Ibrahim Mohammed to destroy the Turks, and I hope Khan will investigate carefully!"

Yipidulu Khan was silent again after hearing the words, and said, "Perhaps Ibrahimohammad will keep his promise!"

He was originally a suspicious person, and he had been fighting with the big cannibal for a long time, how could he really believe Ibrahim Mohammed's words, but now that the Turkic situation is becoming more and more embarrassing, he has nothing to do, so he moved and Tang Shiyi reminded him of the idea of ​​the big cannibal uniting, and he couldn't help being suspicious again.

The Tang envoy laughed and said, "The big cannibal has no faith!"

Yipidulu Khan said: "The cannibal has no faith at all, don't you Tang people have it!?"

The Tang envoy said: "At the beginning, Emperor Taizong tried to appease the Khan several times, and the Khan also paid tribute to our Tang Dynasty. If it hadn't been for the Khan's treachery and repeated violation of our border court, how could the Turks have what they are today!"

Yipi Duo Lu Khan couldn't help but feel ashamed when he heard the words. If you say that Tang Dynasty treated him well at the beginning, but he was blinded by lard and provoked Datang repeatedly. Emperor Taizong couldn't bear it, so he sent Su Dingfang In order to wipe out the Turks, speaking of it, it was all the result of his own doing.

"Just let the Turks be attached. At that time, Ben Khan will only be an idle king, and all the tribes will be dispersed. Tang Huang only needs to send a small official to kill me."

The Tang envoy said: "The Khan has filtered it. If the Khan understands the righteousness and unites with the Tang Dynasty to fight the big food, he will be a meritorious person. Today's saints are benevolent and generous, so it will be difficult for the Khan. , the Turkic blood can be continued, I hope Khan thinks twice!"

Yipidulu Khan knows that he has no more choices now. If he joins forces with the big cannibal, maybe he just defeated Tang Jun here, and Ibrahimohammad behind him is already sharpening his knife and preparing to Dealing with him, if you sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, even if the two families are defeated, they will not be cheap in the end. You must know that the Byzantines are still waiting.

"If I am attached, how will the Emperor Tang arrange it!?"

When the envoy of the Tang Dynasty heard Yipidulu Khan asked this question, he already knew that Yipidulu Khan had already made a decision in his heart, and immediately replied: "The current emperor will not hesitate to bestow it with the prince, and there are also fertile land and beautiful houses. All the tribes under the command were not scattered, and all of them were resettled in Bingzhou, and they were still under the control of the Khan, but they had to be managed by the Tang resettlement office!"

Bingzhou!

Yipidulu Khan was stunned when he heard the words, and said in a trembling voice: "That is the place where the Tang Dynasty flourished, and the tombs of our ancestors are all there. The Tang Emperor is really so relieved!?"

The envoy Tang smiled and said, "If the Khan is sincerely attached to him, why not worry about it, but if the Khan is still half-hearted towards Qin Muchu, the Holy One will naturally have the means to deal with it!"

Yipidulu Khan thought for a moment, then sighed: "The Tang Emperor treated people with sincerity, and the Turkic people will never turn against him again!"

The Tang envoy saw that Yipidulu Khan agreed to Du Rui's conditions, and said happily: "Khan's decision is a wise move!"

Yipidulu Khan said with a smile: "Your Excellency is really eloquent and courageous. How dare you ask the Tang envoy's official position in the Tang State!?"

The Tang envoy replied: "I am no more than a small official in the Tang Dynasty, and now I am working under the tent of Du Du, the governor of Tubo, and the official residence is Cao Sima and Du Xian!"

"My surname is Du! I don't know what it has to do with General Du Rui!?"

Du Xian said with a smile: "Marshal Du is just my mentor, and I am the least successful under my mentor's school. I have been weak for a long time, and I have been silent about it!"

Yipidulu Khan naturally regarded Du Xian's words as modesty, but he also envied the great talents of Tang Dynasty. Of course, in Du Xian's words, he also heard a piece of news that shocked him even more.

Du Rui has already arranged a situation. When the time comes, the Protectorate of the Western Regions, the Protectorate of Tubo, and even the Protectorate of Tianzhu will unite. On the other side, the Tianzhu Protectorate directly killed the Eastern Arabian Province and harassed its rear. It would be unreasonable if Ibrahim Mohammed did not lose.

Yipidulu Khan knew that Du Xian had revealed this news to him on purpose, but it didn't matter to him now. Years of running around and setbacks had made him less ambitious. If Du Rui could really If he keeps his promise, he certainly doesn't mind. To be a foreign king attached to the Tang Dynasty may be the end of the Turkic tribe.

He once imagined that he could become a great figure like Attila, turn into the whip of God, and turn Europa upside down.

Attila, the Hun King, once led an army to invade the Balkan Peninsula twice, besieged Constantinople, and also made an expedition to the Orleans area of ​​Gaul. Finally, he was forced to stop marching westward at the Battle of Chalons.

Then in 452 AD, Attila's army crossed the Alps and invaded the core of the Roman Empire, the Italian mainland. His army destroyed many cities and completely destroyed the military town of Aquili in northeast Italy, making it permanent. disappeared from the map.

The Roman emperor Valentinian III was frightened and fled from Ravenna to the old capital Rome, leaving only Aetius to stay in the north, but he provided little support.Finally, the Hungarian army stopped the offensive on the Po River in northern Italy. Attila received Pope Leo I, the chief member of the Senate Avinus, and the commander of the Imperial Guard, Trigerius. A peace mission led by a prominent person.

After a round of negotiations, Attila decided to accept the terms of the peace and walk away, but he also warned that if the Roman Empire violated the marriage contract to Honoria, he would invade Rome again.

There are different opinions in history as to the reasons for Attila's sudden departure.The most plausible of these reasons is that Attila's army may have been plagued by food shortages or plague, or by the invasion of the Byzantine Empire across the Danube.According to the records of Priscus, another possible reason is that Attila was afraid of repeating the same mistake that happened shortly after the Visigoth king Alaric I invaded Rome in 410 AD.This prophecy issued by the prophet Aquitaine, after being beautified by the painter Raphael's brush and Agadi's chisel, forms a picture on the right with St. Peter and St. Paul protecting the pope, warning the barbarians not to invade "eternal" City of Rome".

From 448 to 450, under the leadership of Attila, the Hun Empire reached its peak: from the Aral Sea in the east to the Atlantic coast in the west; from the Danube in the south to the Baltic Sea in the north.

The dependent countries in this vast area have their own kings and tribal chiefs, who pay tribute to Attila on weekdays and send troops to join the war in wartime.After Attila's death, his empire quickly disintegrated and disappeared, making him even more legendary in European history.

In the eyes of Europeans, Attila is regarded as a symbol of cruelty and plunder, but at the same time, there are relatively historical records describing him as a great emperor, especially in the Sakya documents of ancient Norse.

Yipidulu Khan felt that Attila was a great grassland hero. He also imagined that, like Attila, he would establish a great cause in Europa. With Rui's arrival, his thoughts suddenly faded away. He knew that if he didn't choose to surrender, after Du Rui finished Ibrahim Mohammed's army, the Turks would definitely be wiped out. .

Yipidulu Khan had never fought against Du Rui, but he was very familiar with Du Rui's style of conduct. He knew that Du Rui would never leave a threat in Central Asia, a place that was destined to become the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Leaving Central Asia, which has a hot climate and barren soil, and went to Bingzhou, which is rich in products and land, may be the last way left for them by the gods that the Turkic people believe in.

Although the Turks in history were driven to Central Asia by the Tang Dynasty, they gradually expanded to Asia Minor and prospered day by day, and finally destroyed the Eastern Roman Empire in 1453, turning Constantinople into Istanbul.

The conquest of Constantinople also consolidated the empire's position as the overlord of southeastern Europe and the eastern Mediterranean. Then the empire entered a long period of conquest and expansion, expanding its territory to Europe and North Africa.The Ottoman Empire's land expansion mainly relied on its military innovation and military discipline, and the Ottoman Empire's navy also played an important role in its conquest activities, competing for and protecting the Black Sea, Aegean Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea and Voyage routes in the Indian Ocean.

And because the Ottoman Empire held the main overland trade route between Europe and Asia, the empire's economy flourished.Thereafter the Ottoman Empire prospered under the rule of some capable sultans.During his reign, Selim I was committed to expanding eastward and southward, and defeated the Safavid dynasty under Ismail I in the Battle of Chaldiran in 1514. In 1517, the Ottoman Empire eliminated the Mamluk Dynasty in Egypt, and its naval power expanded to the Red Sea.Since then, the Ottoman Empire and the Portuguese Empire have become the most dominant powers in the region.

The succeeding Suleiman I did not stop the pace of conquest. In 1521, the Ottoman Empire captured Belgrade, then conquered the Kingdom of Hungary, and established the Ottoman Empire in the current location of Hungary and Central Europe.

In 1526, the Turks won the first Battle of Mohachi and launched the Siege of Vienna in 1529, but were forced to retreat due to the onset of winter.

In 1532, the Ottoman Empire raised more than 25 troops to attack Vienna again, but was repulsed at Kseg, south of Vienna.

In 1543, the Ottoman Empire continued to advance, and the ruler of the Habsburg dynasty, Ferdinand I, officially recognized the suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire over Hungary in 1547.

Under Suleiman I, Transylvania, Wallachia, and unconventional Moldova all became vassal states of the empire and were required to pay tribute to the empire.

To the east, the Ottoman Empire captured Baghdad from the Persians, gaining control of Mesopotamia and the Persian Gulf.By the end of Suleiman's reign, the empire's total population had reached 1500 million people.

At its peak, it spanned the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, including the entire Balkan Peninsula, the Asia Peninsula, the entire Middle East and most of North Africa, reaching Morocco in the west, the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf in the east, the Austrian Empire and Romania in the north, and Sudan in the south.Controlled the entire passage from Western Europe to the East, and became a veritable empire.

But these are impossible to happen now, Du Rui has appeared in Central Asia now, if the Turkic people do not choose to surrender, then what awaits them will be perish, and naturally there will be no Ottoman Empire in the future.

Du Xian left the tent of Yipidulu Khan, and all the nobles of the Western Turks were called in.

Jiebi Dadu was very dissatisfied when he saw Yipidulu Khan treating Tang envoys so courteously, and guessed Yipidulu Khan's decision, and immediately said: "Father Khan! The people of Tang came here, they must be dissatisfied. Good intentions, when I kill him, it will be regarded as a tribute to Ibrahim Mohammad!"

"Presumptuous!" Yipidulu Khan saw that Jiebida had neglected his position several times, and immediately became angry, and said, "Ben Khan is not dead yet! It is not up to you to decide the big affairs of the tribe. I get out!"

Jiebi Dadu said angrily: "Turks are born wolves on the grassland, and we and those weak Tang people are natural enemies. Now we don't want to be wolves who rule the world, but we want to be watchdogs for the Tang people. disagree!"

Yipidulu Khan turned cold, stared at his son, and said coldly: "Jiebi Dadu! Are you questioning me?"

When Jiebi Dadu heard this, he was immediately annoyed, and was about to explode when he saw Yipidulu Khan's gloomy face, and he couldn't help feeling terrified. For the benefit of the family, they even did not hesitate to sell the country, but among the Turkic tribes, the so-called indifference between relatives was absolutely shocking. It was not uncommon for father and son to kill each other and brothers to kill each other.

Jiebi Dadu saw that many nobles did not support him, so he had to withdraw from the king's account with hatred. Seeing that there was no more trouble, Yipidulu Khan spoke out his decision.

At first, I thought that there would be fierce opposition. After all, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks had fought against each other for many years, and the Western Turks perished only under the attack of the Tang Dynasty. Among the nobles of the Turks, there must be many people who harbor hatred towards the Tang Dynasty. But when Yipidulu Khan made his decision, there was not even a single person who opposed it. On the contrary, everyone was very excited and strongly agreed.

"Datang is recruiting us at this time. This is a battle with the big food dog. At that time, Marshal Du Rui will definitely let us send troops to help, sweat! This is our chance!"

"Yes! At that time, we must fight hard, kill those Arabian dogs more, and earn more credits. At that time, we can ask the Tang court for rewards. The gorgeous silk, exquisite porcelain, and delicious tea are indispensable. our."

"Yes! When the time comes, the Great Khan will be able to increase his rank and rank, and our tribe will have more pastures, people, cattle and sheep. By then, who dares to underestimate us?"

Yipidulu Khan was stunned for a long time before saying: "You all agree to submit to the Tang Kingdom!"

Hearing this, the leader of a small tribe got up quickly, saluted Yipidulu Khan, and said, "Khan! Although we can not be ruled by others here, this is not our home, Chuhe No matter how good the river valley is, it is not a place for us to stay for long!"

Someone spoke, and someone immediately echoed: "Yes! Big Khan! We are like duckweed here. We can't see hope, let alone the future of Turkic. Seeing that the life of the tribe is becoming more and more impoverished, The lambs that were just born, the children that were just born, died one by one, we really don't want to spend any more time here!"

"Great Khan! Belonging to the Tang Kingdom, although we will lose the rights bestowed by the gods, the blood of the Turks can continue. This is the most important thing, Khan! We don't want to watch the Great Turks eventually perish!"

Yipidulu Khan listened, he knew that his decision this time was well received, nodded, and said: "You are right, the Great Turks cannot wait any longer, if we continue to wait, we will A good ending can only be to depend on others to sell the lives of the tribal sons to Arabs, Byzantines, and even Persians to fight for them and fight for territory for them, but the Great Turks can only get them to eat The leftovers, instead of this, we might as well return to Datang, at least that is still a way out!"

When the nobles heard the words, they put their hands on their chests and said, "The sweat is wise!"

With the support of many nobles, the next thing will be easy. This time, Du Xian was invited to the king's tent and sat on the left side of Yipidulu Khan. Turkic people respect the left, so they arranged seats Yipidulu Khan has already shown his intentions.

Du Xian knew this well. When he was under Du Rui's school, he learned vertical and horizontal skills, and what he was best at was seeing things from the small.

The banquet had already been set, and Yipidulu Khan got up and held a glass of wine and said to Du Xian: "Respect for the Tang envoy, your arrival has brought a bright future for Turks. Yugushe expresses his sincere thanks to you!"

Du Xian also stood up and toasted: "It is not I who brought Turks a bright future, but Khan you. It is your decision to lead Turks back to the right path. You are the biggest contributor to Turks!"

After drinking a cup, Yipidulu Khan said: "Master Tang! Now that I, Turkic, have decided to join Datang, Marshal Du Rui is now confronting Ibrahim Mohammad. Since Turkic is a son of Datang If you are a citizen, you should serve Datang, if Marshal Du Rui has any orders, just say it straight!"

Du Xian saw that although Yipidulu Khan spoke righteously and sternly, he was just eager to make meritorious service, to express his heart to Li Chengqian, to prove his loyalty to Datang, so as to obtain greater benefits in the future.

Although Du Xian could see it clearly, he didn't point it out. Instead, he praised: "Khan can have this letter. Thinking about it, the Holy Majesty must be very happy. If he has merit, the Holy Majesty will reward him generously!"

When Khan Yipidulu heard the words, he was also very happy, and hurriedly said: "They are all serving the country, let's make peace with each other!"

Yipidulu Khan was also very happy. He had just decided to submit to the Tang Dynasty, and he regarded himself as a Tang Dynasty. Many of the remaining nobles also expressed their loyalty.

Du Xian said with a smile: "Since Khan and all the leaders have such a heart, then the following famous words, now that the Tang Dynasty is fighting with Dashi, there is indeed something that requires Khan's assistance!"

Before Du Xian finished speaking, suddenly a soldier of Khan Yipidulu stumbled in and shouted: "Khan! It's not good! Prince Jiebi Dadu led people to the south!"

Hearing this, Du Xian was shocked and said: "Not good! Prince Jiebi Dadu is going to vote for Ibrahim Mohammed. The commander-in-chief hasn't made any arrangements yet. If Ibrahim Mohammed leads the army If you attack, the Turks will be in danger!"

Yibi Dulu Khan was also annoyed. His relationship with his eldest son was already very tense. He even wanted to pass this position to his favorite youngest son. Brasi Muhammad, he was even more furious!

Immediately roared loudly: "Come on! Everyone ride fast horses, follow Ben Khan, and kill that traitor who betrayed the tribe!"

If Du Rui was here, he would definitely be surprised to hear that Jiebi Dadu strongly opposed surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, and even betrayed the Turks and defected to Ibrahim Mohammed.

Because in the original history, in the fourth year of Emperor Gaozong Yonghui of Tang Dynasty, after the death of Khan Yipidulu, Jiebi Dadu succeeded to the throne and was called Zhenzhu Yehu. During his reign, he fought against Ashina Helu with Datang.In the sixth year of Yonghui, Tang Gaozong sent the governor of Fengzhou to canonize Zhenzhu Yehu as a khan because of his meritorious service. As a result, he was stopped by Ashina Helu in Suiye City. He Lu defeated Zhenzhu Yehu and annexed his tribe. In March of the fourth year of Xianqing, Zhenzhu Yehu was shot and beheaded by Xingxi Khan Ashinami in Shuanghe.

In the end, Jiebi Dadu was always loyal to the Tang Dynasty and guarded Beiting throughout his life, but now history has changed, and the fate of people has also changed. The backbone force is really a common thing in the world.

Jiebi Dadu didn't manage to run far, and before he got out of the valley, he was chased back by Yipidulu Khan. Yipidulu Khan seemed to be angry with his son, and he ignored the nobles' pleadings. Jiebi Dadu was about to be executed immediately.

Du Xian looked at it, feeling a little unbearable. After all, the other party is a father and son. He watched this kind of father and son killing each other. He really couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. Du Xian knew that as long as this Jiebi Dadu existed for one day, it would be a threat to Datang and an extremely unstable factor.

Du Xian learned from Du Rui, so he naturally learned from Du Rui, never threatening himself.

Jiebi Dadu was tied to the rack on the spot. He is always the prince of Turks and the son of Yipidulu Khan. It is impossible for him to be beheaded like ordinary people. In the same way, Jiebi Dadu's spine was directly strangled, and he lost his life without bleeding.

Before he died, he was still shouting: "Don't believe the words of the Tang people, the Turks should undergo any test, and eventually they will usher in a day of revival. If people surrender to the Tang people, it is like an eagle being locked in a cage, and a wolf being thrown into a cage." Enclosed in the shed, when the time comes, the blood of the Great Turk Warriors will gradually cool down, the innate habits of the Great Turk will be smoothed out, and the day of the Great Turk’s demise will not be far away, sober up! Sober up! Don’t Be fooled by the Tang people again!"

Even though Jiebi Dadu shouted hoarsely, but still failed to save his life, Yipidulu Khan gave the order of execution mercilessly. With a crisp sound, Jiebi, who should have been the leader of the tribe, Dadu ended his short life. Before he died, everything he said was correct, but unfortunately no one wanted to pay attention to it.
