Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

October in Saibei has entered the severe winter season, the vegetation is withered, and the river is frozen.The north wind howled, and the gusts of cold wind mixed with light snow flakes were like countless scimitars on people's faces, causing severe pain.Not to mention people, even wolves on the grassland would not easily come and go in this kind of weather.

However, no one would believe that on such a windy day, there is a group of riders walking slowly in the cold wind.When I first saw this team of cavalry, there were not many people, only a few hundred.But if you observe carefully, you will find that they lined up in a long and thin straight line, appearing in the sky of the northern border, like a piece of ink slowly flowing down from the sky of the northern country.

The horse is galloping slowly, and the black line is getting longer and longer.At this time, if you look closely, you will find that this team of cavalry has [-] to [-] people.They walked slowly in a long square formation of thousands of people.Although the soldiers on the horses were all strong and sturdy, they couldn't hide the tiredness and vicissitudes on their faces under the little blood.And in front of the fifth Fangzheng, a big flag with the head of a gray wolf fluttered in the wind, looking exhausted, unable to flutter at all because of the howling north wind.

The cavalry under the Canglang Banner obviously want your other cavalry to be strong, but they don't appear to be lacking in fighting spirit or discouraged like other cavalry.The leather armor on their bodies was also riddled with holes, and the blood stains showed that they had gone through an exciting battle.But they are still full of energy, they are always proud of their heads, like eagles in the sky, unyielding.Because, the personal guard of their Turkic Khan is the iron guard of the grassland overlord Jieli Khan.

Jieli Khan, named Du, was the third son of Qimin Khan. In 620, he succeeded his brother Jieli Khan in Luozhi, and took his stepmother, Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty of China, as his wife.Then, based on the foundation of his father and brother, he continued to conquer everywhere, making himself strong and strong, and scattered the Ashina tribe of the grassland and other nomadic Chile (or Tiele) tribes in Mobei, including Xue Yantuo, Huihe, Dubo, and Guli. Fifteen tribes including Gan, Duolange, Tongluo, Pugu, Bayegu, Sijie, Hun, Huxue, Jie, Adi, Qi, and Baixiao were unified under his own iron hoof.He is the king of the prairie.

However, today's Jieli Khan has a gloomy face and fierce eyes, and he is riding on the horse without saying a word.There were several loyal subordinates guarding him on both sides, and they were cautiously silent.They are: Zhishenli, Ashina? Sheer and He Qiheli.

The three of them are all trusted subordinates of Jieli Khan, and they have been by his side consistently since the beginning of Jieli Khan's conquest of various tribes in the grassland.However, today the three of them dared not speak when facing Xieli's stern gaze.Because, today they lost the battle and lost to Xue Yantuo, Huihe, Bayegu and other tribes who once surrendered to them.They didn't expect that these Xue Yantuo people who used to follow behind them and beg for mercy would rebel against them and flee, and when they were chasing them, they were ambushed by them and severely injured.Since Xieli took the position of Great Khan, he has lost the most tragic battle so far, which is why Xieli is so angry.They have been following Xieli for ten years, and this is the first time they have seen his stern and fierce eyes.Therefore, they could only cautiously follow behind him, silent.

"Where are you now?" Jieli suddenly stopped his horse and asked in a deep voice.

Zhishisili was the first person to hear Xieli's question, and he immediately replied, "Khan, there are still three days' journey to reach Yinshan Mountain." He spoke very briefly, fearing that Xieli would not be angry.

"Why so slow?" Jie Li was a little displeased, he lost to the humble Xue Yantuo who had once surrendered to him.However, he knew why he was defeated, and what he had to do now was to return to the tribe, the holy land of Yinshan, and bring this person to justice.

"Because of the cold weather, the soldiers' clothes were thin, and after another battle, morale was a bit low. In addition, we were traveling against the wind. Therefore, the one-day journey is not very fast. It is estimated that reaching Yinshan Mountain in three days is the fastest Speed." Seeing Jie Liwen's displeased expression, Ashina Sheer added what he had lost his mind.

"This year, the grassland has been snowed heavily, and the grass has been covered by snow. Many cattle and sheep have froze to death. There have been occasional shortages of clothing and food in various ministries. Life is very difficult." Xie Li suddenly said in a deep voice, "There is no way for the soldiers to wear thin clothes. It seems that we have to think of a way, otherwise it will be very difficult to survive this winter."

"What does Da Khan mean?" Qi Heli asked cautiously.

"Notify all the ministries to set up camp here temporarily, and then notify a tribal leader to come to my tent for a meeting." Xie Li suddenly ordered.

"Yes" Zhishenli replied in a low voice, then slapped his horsewhip and disappeared into the square formation.

"The Great Khan has an order to stop the advance, and all the ministries are in the camp of Inzha."

"The military order of the Great Khan, stop the advance, and all the ministries will follow the Inzha camp."

Tens of thousands of cavalry stopped their advance and began to set up tents in an orderly manner.And the leaders of each department are constantly flocking to the position of Xieli's department from their respective squares.Among them, the Turkic Erhan Tuli and Zuoxian King Yugushe seemed a little worried and seemed to have thoughts.

The two of them pursued Xue Yantuo, Huihe, Bayegu and other forward troops this time, but they were all severely damaged by the enemy, so that Xieli went deep alone under the condition that the situation ahead was unknown, and lost tens of thousands of elite soldiers.At that time, Xieli reprimanded the two of them only in the eyes, but they all knew that the real punishment would be after returning to Yinshan.Because of the loss of tens of thousands of elite soldiers, Yijieli's character will not fail to give an explanation to the tribe.Therefore, setting up camp at this time was a bit abrupt for the two of them, which made him worried.

Jieli rode his horse to a high place, looked at the thin clouds in the southern sky, and thought to himself, "Li Shimin, I really want to go to your Chang'an to see how you survive the cold winter."

Since the bridge alliance, his attitude towards Li Shimin has changed.First of all, I admired Li Shimin's courage, he was able to ride into the enemy camp alone without changing his face, and even reprimanded himself, and secondly, although the Tang people did not have strong cavalry, their tenacity and bravery were also feared by themselves.

From this, he seemed to know Li Shimin's situation more like he knew this enemy who could be his opponent.

At this moment, I saw Zhishisili galloping up on horseback, and said beside Jieli, "Khan, the tent has been set up, and the leaders of various ministries are already waiting for you to discuss matters in the tooth tent."

"Have Tuli and Yugushe both arrived?" Jieli asked gloomyly.

"Er Khan Tuli and King Zuoxian Yugushi are also in the big tent." Zhi Shi Si Li said bluntly.

"Think of the self-knowledge of these two good friends." Xie Li said, waving his horse and heading towards the big tent.

Although Xieli's temporary tooth tent is not as good as the Khan king's tent in Yinshan, it was built quickly in such a cold environment, which is enough to illustrate the characteristics of nomadic people who live by water and grass.The tooth tent is not very big, but it can accommodate 30 to [-] people. The north of the tooth tent is the location of Xieli, and the Guizhen tiger skin is spread on it.And the position of Erhan Tuli in the lower left corner of him.At this time, Tuli was already sitting in his seat and was silent, several leaders of other ministries were talking in low voices, and some were covering their heads in silence, drinking the kumiss in the glass in front of them.

"Here comes the big sweat," shouted the soldiers outside, and then saw a corner of the big tent opened, and Xie Li and Zhi Shisili walked into the big tent.When Xieli came to the big tent, the leaders of all the ministries got up and stood respectfully on both sides.Jieli glanced at the crowd, and found more than 20 clans, Khans and kings of Ashina tribe besides King Youxian who was stationed in Yinshan Mountain. Then he stopped his gaze on Tuli's face and stared at it for a moment. Seeing his sincere and fearful look, he slowly walked to the main seat and sat down.

Seeing that Jieli was sitting down, the leaders of the ministries turned around and called out to him, "I have seen the Great Khan."

"Everyone sit down," Jie Li said loudly.

"Thank you, Khan." Then everyone sat down.

When everyone sat down, Jieli suddenly shouted, "Tuli and Yugu set up two people, can you convict them?"

Tuli had known for a long time that Xieli would ask about the defeat of the army, so he got up and shouted, "Please the Great Khan to make amends, Tuli is guilty, and please the Great Khan to punish him." He admitted his mistake in this way, but it angered King Zuoxian to make a confession. The arrangement of Xieli who pursued Xue Yantuo, Huihe, Bayegu and other tribes this time was just following Xieli's instructions. How could you, Tuli, blame yourself for the defeat of the army?In this way, isn't he also responsible?Besides, my coach, you are the deputy coach, so my responsibility must be greater than yours.

Yugu imagined this, and stood up and said proudly, "I don't know what crime the Great Khan said?" He thought that he was also Jieli's nephew, and if his father hadn't passed the throne to him, he wouldn't be able to do it. The location of Ashina Khan.Therefore, Yugu conceived to shift the responsibility to Tuli.

"Bastard, you still don't know what crime you committed? You lost tens of thousands of my son, Ash, and now you still say you don't know what crime it is?" Jieli said angrily.He had known for a long time that Yugushe was dissatisfied because his brother passed the position of Great Khan to him, so he didn't do much to chase Xue Yantuo, Huihe, Bayegu and other tribes this time, so he was ambushed by the opponent and suffered heavy losses.

"This is an order from the Great Khan. I just carried it out. I didn't do anything wrong." Yu Gushe said indifferently, "Besides, the two Tuli Khans have pleaded guilty. He is the deputy commander of the army. The Great Khan can cure his sin."

When Tuli heard Yugu's words, he didn't refute, but just quietly waited for Xieli's treatment.He knew the conflict between Xieli and Yugushe.Because of this, in this pursuit, Xieli specially arranged him and Yugu as the vanguard of the pursuit, in order to weaken Yugushe's power.What I didn't expect was that Yugushe fled with one blow after encountering Xue Yantuo, Huihe, Bayegu and other tribes. Instead of restraining the opponent, he suffered a big loss and lost tens of thousands of people.And Yugu set up only lost less than 1 horses.Therefore, if I follow Yugushe, I can only escape, which will lead to Jieli's questioning today.But he also knows that Xieli will definitely not let Yugushe go if he encounters such an opportunity today.Therefore, his confession at this time gave Jieli the best excuse to set up crimes against Yugu. He believed that Xieli
