Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 820 Hatred (continued)

It's not that the Turkic family doesn't pay attention to the method of passing on from father to son and son to grandson. It's just that the recent generations of Khans all passed away in their prime years, and their heirs were too young, which led to the fact that successive generations were passed on from brother to brother. .

When Jieli Khan succeeded to the throne, the situation changed. On the one hand, among the brothers of his generation, Jieli Khan was the youngest and had no younger brothers. On the other hand, his son Yugushe had grown up.

But after Yugushe was captured alive by Li Shan for the second time, the situation changed again. Yugushe's reputation was ruined, and even with the support of Jieli Khan, it was impossible to succeed to the throne.

And once Jieli Khan passed away, his successors could only be his nephews, the most powerful of which were Tuli Khan and Ashina Sheer. The root cause of Jieli Khan's loyalty is also the reason why Ashina Sheer felt that Yugushi's death was a bit strange at the first time, but he didn't go into the reason... The beneficiary of this incident is him.

But when Ashina Sheer came back to his senses and felt that Yugushe's death was different, he quickly figured out that Jieli Khan probably had a son, so he would mercilessly abandon his desire. Gu set up this useless son.

When Ashina Sheer, who had figured it all out, returned to Wuyuan County and found that there were rumors from Li Shan everywhere, he knew that it was impossible for Jieli Khan to let him succeed.

Jieli Khan is only in his 30s this year, and he has enough time to wait for his youngest son to become an adult. How could he give up his youngest son and choose Ashina Sheer, let alone the premise that Li Shanna's rumors spread all over Wuyuan County.

To put it bluntly, the rumors released by Li Shan caused Jieli Khan to distrust Ashina Sheer, and it also caused Ashina Sheer not to trust Jieli Khan... especially when the latter discovered this provided that the child exists.

"Dieluozhi." The confidant on the side whispered: "I have already asked, after I was born the year before last, I fell ill."

There is only one image left in the history books of this famous concubine princess in history, loyal...to the royal family of the Sui Dynasty.

For this reason, Ke Dun asked several times to send troops, but Jieli Khan did not agree, even though Tuli Khan had withdrawn his troops to the east.

"Are you all ready?"

Getting up slowly, Jieli Khan paced back and forth a few steps. Now he is not willing to walk anymore. Last year in the battle of Guji Town, Li Shan used a bed crossbow to sneak attack and broke Jieli Khan's calf. Although he has recovered now, My calves and knees often have a dull pain, and I even limp when I walk.

He rejected Liang Shi's request to send troops three times in a row. On the one hand, it was because of internal instability. On the other hand, the three disastrous defeats also made Jieli Khan deeply afraid of that young man.

"The two Yehus, the three secret agents, and the six Burkes will either die or surrender." Ashina Sheer interrupted: "Uncle has no ambitions, so he should abdicate and make way for the virtuous."

"Yes."

Jieli Khan turned around slowly, not surprised to see Ashina Sheer with a cold face, "Sheer is back..."

"Last year was a disastrous defeat, with heavy snow in winter and famine this year, but my uncle still wants to raise his troops to the east. The tribe has been dissatisfied for a long time." Ashina Sheer drew out his saber and laughed, "You said you wanted to cut off Li Huairen's head, but that guy is now In Longzhou, my uncle was too afraid to send troops."

But in the past year, Jieli Khan didn't think much about this person anymore. The most important thing now is to maintain his position. Although he kept saying that Li Huairen's head would be cut off in the future... But Jieli Khan no longer had such extravagant hopes up.

Princess Yicheng sneered and said, "Ke Dun is still Ke He Dun, but the sweat is not you."

This is naturally a famous Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty who married Shibi Khan first, then Chuluo Khan, and then Jieli Khan... In history, she married three times, and this life will not stop.

Silently waiting for Jieli Khan to die, Ashina Sheer turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, we will discuss peace with Tuli Khan, and send troops to Lingzhou within three days."

At this moment, there was a noise from outside, Jieli Khan frowned, scolded a few words in a low voice but ignored it, but he quickly reacted, because there was no guard inside to report.

Tuli Khan withdrew his troops... This thought flashed in his mind, Jieli Khan suddenly remembered something, took a few steps quickly, and took down the hanging long knife.

At this time, the curtain was lifted again, and a woman dressed in Hanfu came in. She was about thirty years old, with a beautiful and dignified appearance, and she reprimanded: "Master Liang occupies the land of three states, and the Tang army launched a massive counterattack. Since they dare not go south , of course you have to choose someone who is brave enough!"

"Go ahead."

Jieli Khan was thinking in his heart, whether he should send an envoy to Daizhou, and send more good horses in exchange for some salt and food. As long as he can survive this year, he will be able to recover next year.

Ashina Sheer interrupted impatiently: "Just now I have gone to see Diluozhi."

Ashina Sheer nodded. It was probably because of the illness that Jieli Khan had to redeem Yugushe. After the youngest son recovered, Jieli Khan gave up Yugushe.

For the Handan King of the Tang Dynasty, Jieli Khan both hates and fears. Every detail of the three battles last year often appeared in his dreams. , The figure of Duan Leng riding alone in the battle would flash in his mind from time to time.

The point is not that Yugushe is already a useless child, nor that this child will definitely not die young, but that Jieli Khan will have another son after more than ten years, and if he can give birth to one, he can have ten or eight.

"Abdicate to let the virtuous... You are Turkic, not Han..." Jieli Khan panted heavily: "Impossible, how did you get in..."

Jieli Khan's expression changed, and his cheeks and neck were trembling. Originally, he planned to announce that he would have another heir this year, but Ashina Sheer was released and the rumors made him change his mind... Unexpectedly, such a secret was discovered by the other party.

Princess Yicheng nodded in satisfaction, "If you can help Master Liang gain a firm foothold in Guannei Road, you can threaten Chang'an at any time. Li Yuan is timid, and he might move his capital to Luoyang, and the north of the Yellow River will be used as a horse farm."

Obviously, Ashina Sheer is her next husband.

Although Wang Zhangbing suffered heavy casualties in several battles last year, Jieli Khan had a solid foundation and quickly added that he did not believe that his nephew, who had been feared by him, could pass through many obstacles and kill him so easily. to myself.

"Just because of this?" Jieli Khan only felt that it was absurd. Just because of this, you would come here with a knife.

It was indeed a lone wolf. After the Battle of Cangtouhe, Jieli Khan clearly felt the rejection of his tribe, which led him to rely heavily on foreign tribes... which made the tribe even more dissatisfied.

But before he turned around, he heard the sound of the heavy curtain being lifted.

In a tent only three or four miles away from here, Jieli Khan was lying on the couch exhausted. This sweat, who was only in his 30s, had dull eyes, and the wrinkles between his brows looked like a man in his 50s. The old man is like an old lone wolf.

Ashina Sheer stopped talking nonsense and struck down with a long knife in his hand. Although Jieli Khan was also quite brave, but how could he compare with his nephew, he fell in a pool of blood in just two or three rounds.

"Ke He Dun..." Jieli Khan understood that with Ke He Dun, his wife, his nephew could easily kill him. What's more, after last year's defeat, he had to get a job from the Yang family in Yunzhou. Select manpower to replenish troops.

When Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was trapped in Yanmen, it was Princess Yicheng who rescued him. After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Princess Yicheng did her best to take in the children of the clan and tried her best to destroy Li Tang all the time.

What made Princess Yicheng persist so much was also hatred, hatred for Li Yuan, hatred for Li Tang...specifically, there was also hatred for Li Shan.

After the Battle of Cangtouhe last year, Li Shan sent troops to loot Zuoyun County, and Princess Yicheng's younger brother Yang Shanjing died in Zuoyun County.

The same hatred made Princess Yicheng and Ashina Sheer hit it off.
