The Happy Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 542 Turkic Alliance

The rare combination of East Turks and West Turks surrounded the borders of the Tang Empire, and also approached some surrounding tribes and small countries.

Longquan, where Shang Xiufang lives, is also one of them, so she sent a message to Li Jiancheng for help.

The Western Turkic Khan is Tong Yehu. Tong Yehu is a man of great martial arts, brave and resourceful, and good at fighting!He accepted the throne of his brother Shekui Khan last spring, but after more than a year, he has completely occupied Tiele in the north, and a lot of territory in Kubin in the south.

What's more, Tong Yehu provoked the Persian Dynasty, which is now in its heyday, which shows the prosperity of Tong Yehu's martial arts.

Of course, excluding Tong Yehu's bravery, the reason why Persia didn't react too much is because Persia is now invading the Byzantine Empire. [

The prosperity of Persia, the people on the grassland tribes have some understanding, and Tong Yehu's actions made the people on the grassland feel awe of the Western Turks, and the people of the Western Turks are even more complacent and boastful The same goes for the Persian dynasty.

How they would feel if they learned that Persia had no time to take care of them because they were dealing with the Byzantine Empire.

Of course, they don't understand all this, and when disaster strikes one day, they will know how to howl.

Now Tong Yehu controls hundreds of thousands of strings, dominates the Western Regions, occupies the old Wusun land, and moves his court to Qianquan in the north of Shiguo.

However, whether it is Persia, or the unknown Byzantium, or the prairie where the Eastern and Western Turks are now staying.To Tong Yehu, it was just a small and remote place. Compared to the vast and rich Central Plains, here was Tong Yehu's real goal.

Before Shi Zhixuan pretended to be Pei Ju, the Turks were not much weaker than the Sui Dynasty.It's just that the Turks at that time were already contradictory, before the idea of ​​​​the Central Plains was implemented.However, Pei Ju, who was disguised by Shi Zhixuan, disintegrated first, so that Turkic changed from a frightening hungry wolf in the grassland to a dormant tiger.

No matter how fierce the tiger is.It's just one head, after all, it's still no match for a pack of hungry wolves.

This time, under the mediation of someone on the grassland.Tong Yehu and Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks joined forces to launch an offensive against the Tang Empire that had just unified the Central Plains.

In other words, isn’t this Eastern Turkic Khan the younger brother of Khan Shibi, Khan Chuluo, the brother of Khan Jieli?

It turned out that Luo Khan here was no longer as majestic and heroic as he was when he was young and vigorous, but just a dying old wolf.What he is pursuing now is to enjoy the rest of his life comfortably. As for invading the Central Plains and plundering the wealth and women of the Central Plains, he no longer has those thoughts.

Thus, Jieli Khan, who was like an eagle on the prairie, acted like a thunderbolt, before the others could react.Solved Chuluo Khan.

At the same time, he also took over all the horses of Chuluo Khan.

The only thing that made Jieli Khan dissatisfied was that Tuli, who was always against him, ran away. Jieli had Tuli's confidants, and he notified Tuli before Jieli was about to make a move, so that Tuli got wind and ran away up.

then.Without the obstruction of Chuluo Khan, who is content with the status quo, Jieli Khan can attack without hesitation.

When someone suggested that the two join forces to launch an offensive against the Tang Dynasty, Jieli Khan did not hesitate at all; in his eyes, the Turks after joining forces could not be resisted by the weak Central Plains people.The Central Plains will be defeated first, and it will be easy to resolve who will own the territory afterwards.They will not sit down and negotiate like the Central Plains people.The grassland people advocate force, and when the Central Plains people are settled, they will fight each other based on their own strength. There is nothing to say.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

The combination of Eastern and Western Turks not only did not scare the tribes on the grassland, but also aroused the blood of the people of the grassland tribes.Therefore, in the few days before Li Jiancheng received the news, apart from the loss of a large number of troops, the Eastern and Western Turks did not even get a single tribe.

As for the border cities of the Tang Empire, it hurt them even more.

Today's Tang Empire is no longer the weakness of Yang Guang's period.Because of the successive years of conquest against Goryeo, which cost too much money, the protection against the northern grassland peoples has also been much weaker.This makes it easy for them to plunder a lot of manpower, material resources and money from the Zhongatom people. [

However, after the establishment of the Tang Empire, Li Jiancheng set out to strengthen the strength of the border, and also equipped a lot of gunpowder and other items.The group of Turkic cavalry who only knew how to charge forward on horses "Aoao" were purely here to give away their heads.

Even the soldiers guarding the city wall had to sigh, "This head is so loving!"!

They believed that with the heads of these Turkic cavalrymen, they would definitely be rewarded by the imperial court.Therefore, in their hearts, they were even more eager for these Turkic cavalry to continue to deliver their heads.

……

On an unknown grassland, a huge king's tent stands tall, with a ferocious wolf head inlaid with gold hanging in the center, making people faintly intimidated.

From this decoration, it can be seen that there must be noble figures in the king's tent.

"Brother Jieli, now that you and I can't even capture a single city in the Tang Dynasty, how can we talk about occupying the entire Central Plains?"

On the left side of the king's tent, a middle-aged man with a sturdy appearance said in a low voice, holding a porcelain bowl the size of a head in his hand, but inside it was filled with goat's milk wine unique to the grassland.

While talking, "Gululu" drank more than half of it.

Seeing him with a rough face, speaking as if he didn't pass through the brain, it might make people think that this guy is just a guy with well-developed limbs and a simple mind.

However, if he really underestimated him because of this, he might not even know how he died.

And he is Yehu, the Khan of the Western Turks.

Although the Eastern and Western Turks joined forces, Tong Yehu and Jieli did not agree with each other.Therefore, when speaking, they also called their names directly, and did not add the respectful title "Khan" of the grassland people.

"Hey, it's a pity that the national teacher has never appeared since he disappeared some time ago, otherwise he would definitely be of great help."

After Xieli sighed for a while, he said with a little regret.And the national teacher he was talking about was none other than [Magic Commander] Zhao Deyan, but because of [Yanggong Treasure House], he had already been killed by Li Jiancheng. It's a secluded place.

"Brother Tong Yehu, the Tang Dynasty is not a small country, and we won't be able to defeat it for a while. We have to advance step by step. The most important thing now is to solve the troubles of these small tribes nearby."

Speaking of these small tribes, Tong Yehu and Jieli showed a hint of resentment on their faces. . . )
