Chapter 722 The Princess

Seeing that Guo Xiaoke didn't respond, Tuli's heart fluctuated.Others don't know the details, but Tuli himself has actually put all his belongings on this big gamble.You must know that the succession of the Turkic Khan has always been very chaotic. The third Khan, the Wooden Khan, sometimes succeeded the father and the son, and sometimes the brother died. As long as you are of the blood of the Ashina family, as long as you are strong enough All are eligible to inherit the position of Khan.

Although there is no specific constitution, the Turks still have a set of customary rules. For example, they adopt the system of enfeoffment, and generally seal the next heir to the east, which is equivalent to the prince of the Central Plains dynasty.At the beginning, Bi Khan made Tuli young, so he asked his younger brother Chuluo to assist Tuli. After Chuluo passed away, he passed the position of Khan to Tuli.So Shibi Khan made his eldest son the little Khan before his death.

But now Chuluo's younger brother and Tuli's uncle, Mohe Dushe, Ashina Dubi disagrees. He hopes to inherit the Turkic Khan throne, and then hand it over to Tuli after a transition.But now that he has grown up and grown up, the fledgling Tuli would not want to.Ashina Duobi united Tuli's younger brother to form an association and lead him to his side, and Chuluo Khan was between his younger brother and nephew, so he was inclined to his younger brother.With Chu Luo's designation, most of the Turkic leaders were uncles who supported Tuli.But Tuli was not unprepared. Among Chuluo's two sons, Yu Sheshe supported his father Chuluo Khan's decision, but the youngest son Ashnadur had already expressed his support in secret.In addition, Ashina Simo, another Turkic nobleman, also expressed his support for him. This Ashina Simo, because his mother is from Sogdia, has a pair of fiery red pupils, not the colored glaze that is unique to the Turkic Ashina clan. color double pupil.

Therefore, Ashina Simo has been rejected by the Turkic nobles.Tuli took the opportunity to make friends with him and tied him to his chariot.

However, Tuli also knew that his power was much inferior to the power supporting his uncle, so he approached Zhao Guo and asked Li Chongjiu to support him.

For Tuli, Li Chongjiu once shot and wounded his father Sibi Khan, but for Tuli, as long as the goal can be achieved, it is nothing.

It can be said that Li Chongjiu's support for him is a matter of success or failure. If Zhao Guo does not support him, he can only bow his head to Chu Luo.If Zhao Guo supports him, he can use Zhao Jun's 6 or [-] troops outside the Great Wall to defeat Chuluo and sweep away the forces opposing him within the Turks. When Zhao Ren turned his face and avenged his father to Li Chongjiu.

Tuli never thought that there was anything wrong with what he did. As a Turkic Khan, it is difficult to have peace with the Han people, even if Li Chongjiu helped him.For the Han people, they should also understand that the Turks are invincible.Even Emperor Wudi, the most powerful emperor of the Han people, did not completely conquer the Huns.Li Chongjiu should have this self-knowledge.

But helping yourself can help the Han people live in peace for ten years, which is enough for the Han people.

"Guo Duhu, I have already shown our utmost sincerity, so what do you think now?" '

Tu Li fixed his gaze on Guo Xiaoke.

Guo Xiaoke was still unhurried, he looked at Tuli and said, "Honorable Tuli Khan, before I answer, let me ask you a question." '

'Please say! ' Tuli narrowed his eyes.

Guo Xiaoke said: "Dare to ask Khan, even if I, Da Zhao, support you to seize the Khan position, how sure are you that you will succeed?" '

With so many subordinates listening, Tu Li said in the hall: "As long as your majesty can nod, with the great army of Zhao and the cavalry on the grassland, I am [-]% sure of this matter."If not, take a step back, they will not be able to conquer me, because I have the bravest and most loyal warriors on the grassland. '

Hearing what Tuli said, the Turkic generals on the side shouted loudly to express their loyalty to Tuli.

Guo Xiaoke smiled and said: "Khan said [-]%, which means that the chance of failure is also [-]%.What's more, even if we can win, in my opinion, the two sides are fighting each other, people are dying, and the people outside the Great Wall are displaced, which is not what our majesty wants to see. '

Tu Li sneered slightly when he heard this, since Li Chongjiu began to care about their life and death.

Tuli asked, "Then what does Your Majesty mean?" '

Guo Xiaoke said: "The stability on the grassland is what my Great Zhao wishes. Your Majesty entrusted me to come here before, hoping that the two forces on the grassland can maintain restraint and let this dispute disappear invisible. This is the most suitable for our Zhao. country's interests. '

Guo Xiaoke's words are indeed Li Chongjiu's original words.

Guo Xiaoke said: "The meaning of the emperor of our country is that it is better for Tuli Khan to follow the example of Shidianmi Khan in the past, support the soldiers and respect themselves, do not worship the truth of the court, separate the troops, and stand on their own side, so my great Zhao will Do your best to deal with Chuluo and maintain Khan's independent momentum. '

Tu Li was taken aback when he heard this, but when he thought about it carefully, he almost yelled at him. Didn't this turn Tu Li and Chu Luo into a quarrel, and separate the Turks from the East and West?

Tu Li was about to explode, but when he turned his head, he saw his subordinates, but none of them objected.

Tu Li immediately grasped the minds of his subordinates, and if they didn't object, they acquiesced.Yeah, it would be better to take a step back than risk less than half the chance of winning the Khan position.

They supported themselves at the beginning, but only because the taxes collected were too heavy, so they turned their faces.As for supporting themselves as a khan, they are not so firm in their hearts.

So Tuli clearly grasped Li Chongjiu's sinister idea of ​​dividing the Turks, but he couldn't persuade his subordinates to support him.If you don't agree to Zhao Guo's conditions, then your only choice is to surrender to Chu Luo.

Tu Li weighed again and again, he was also a decisive person, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, since the Emperor Zhao said so, I have no objection, but I have one condition, in order to protect the alliance between the two countries, I hope Zhao Guo The princess was able to marry my eldest son. '

Guo Xiaoke stared coldly and said, "I don't know which princess Tuli Khan is talking about?" '

Tu Li laughed and said, "Does Guo Duhu ask knowingly?"The Queen of Zhao’s daughter was only two or three years old, so of course I’m not referring to her, I’m referring to the eldest princess of Zhao, this condition is not too much. '

What a profit, it really is not a fuel-efficient lamp.Of course Guo Xiaoke knew that what Tuli wanted was Li Chongjiu's adoptive daughter Pingping.

Guo Xiaoke immediately said: "Khan, the eldest princess seems to have a marriage contract. '

Tuli said: "I don't care if there is a marriage contract or not. We Turkic people don't mind this like you Han people."If the princess marries my eldest son, then I will let my other three sons go to Youjing as promised.Three for one, Your Majesty's business is not a loss at all. '
