Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 821 Return to Beijing
After killing Jieli Khan and his son with ease, Ashina Sheer quickly climbed to the Khan throne with the support of his confidants and the support of Princess Yicheng.

Princess Yicheng's weight in the Turks is not important, but her right to speak is not light. Back then, she advised Shibi Khan to save Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang, and after the sudden death of her second husband Chu Luo Khan, Princess Yicheng He strongly advocated deposing the grown-up eldest son Osheshe, so that Jieli Khan could ascend to the throne.

With the help of Princess Yicheng, Ashina Sheer completely controlled Wuyuan County in just two days, and won the unanimous support of the tribe.

Jieli Khan has been doing too much in the past few years. The typical example is that if you don’t do it, you will not die. You reject the tribe, reuse the foreign tribe, and impose heavy taxes on other tribes. The methods are cruel, and both the father and the son are defeated. The hearts of those who were abruptly tossed by themselves were against each other.

Princess Yicheng also started her fourth marriage, marrying her former nephew, former concubine, and current nephew Ashina Sheer.

Fifty miles to the east of Wuyuan County, the cousins ​​Ashina Sheer and Tuli Khan, who claimed to be Dubu Khan, met again and decided on various matters for peace negotiations.

In fact, they have already negotiated the relevant matters. To a certain extent, the rumor released by Li Shan is not wrong. Among the Ashina clan, these two young khans are the most outstanding , and the most general knowledge.

Dubu Khan and Tuli Khan are very aware of the threat to the grassland from the already unified Tang Dynasty, and they are even more aware of the severe impact of last year's defeat and this year's famine on the grassland.

"I don't know how Li Huairen feels when the news spreads to the pass." Tuli Khan chuckled and said, "Don't he know how to let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Dubu Khan's face was gloomy, and he said with a sneer, "This is the Tang Emperor's decision, but within the palace, Li Huairen admitted frankly that he intends to send his personal guards to rob and kill."

But now Li Shan has asked for sick leave, and a large number of children from aristocratic families have come to visit him in an endless stream, and they are justified... The King of Handan has worked so hard that he fell ill, so he should visit him once or twice.

At this time, Liang Shidu was still on the front line of the Great Wall. Ren Gui, the head of the Lingzhou Road, marched steadily and was not in a hurry for success. As long as Liang Shidu could be driven back to Shuofang and the Lingzhou defense line was reorganized, the situation would stabilize.

Of course, Tuli Khan knew the meaning of sending troops together. He was afraid of this cousin, and the other party was also afraid of himself... After Jieli Khan's death, Li Shana's rumors played a second role, making the cousins The brothers began to suspect each other.

The two young khans were both veterans of the battle. They quickly rectified their troops and sent troops south the next day.

At this time, Li Shan had already returned to Chang'an with Li Yuan, but he decisively asked for sick leave after only working for one day. There was no way. I owe Li Shan a favor.

Originally, he became famous because of breaking the Turks three times last year, coupled with his great achievements in saving him this time, Li Shan is like a firefly in the dark night, it is basically impossible to be clean.

Putting aside those thoughts, Tuli Khan nodded and said: "Uncle is hard to tolerate, now you and I join hands, we can defeat Li Tang."

For this reason, Li Shan had to bring Li Kai's two older brothers, as well as Wen Bang who had entered Beijing at the beginning of the year, to help. He originally planned to let Wang Renbiao come over, but his father Wang Yu died of illness half a month ago.

In a sense, Dubu Khan’s marriage to Princess Yicheng overwhelmed Tuli Khan in terms of status... After all, since the rise of the Turks, every Khan’s Khe Dun belonged to the Central Plains Dynasty Princess.

However, if you can't grab a wave, you really can't survive, and if you continue to fight among yourself, the Nine Parts of Tiele will probably breed ambitions... You must know that Tiele had the experience of founding a country and proclaiming Khan more than ten years ago.

"Over the past few years, my uncle has treated the people harshly, the grasslands are chaotic, the people are at odds with each other, coupled with the loss of Mayi, a few big defeats last year, and famine this year..." Dubu Khan said softly: "Calculate the time, Han The autumn harvest is over."

Tuli Khan took a deep look at this cousin. He had met and conspired with the other party several times as early as more than two months ago, and secretly encouraged the other party to attack, and even cooperated in the military. Hooked up with Princess Yicheng.

Li Shan didn't like it or be good at it, no matter in his previous life or in this life, so he simply took sick leave and went home, planning to hide for a few days to be quiet and clean, but unfortunately this wish is too extravagant.

Tuli Khan nodded and said, "I will personally lead Wanqi to Lingzhou."

Turli Khan’s great-grandfather was also the first Khan of Eastern Turks. Yehu Khan’s Kehe Dun was Princess Dayi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After the civil strife in Eastern Turks, Dulan Khan married his mother, Princess Dayi.

If Li Shan was working in Sinong Temple, many officials would just come over to say hello. After all, to enter the imperial city, one must serve in the court and have a certain rank.

In the battle of Tiantai Mountain, the sage Li Yuan, Qin Wang Li Shimin and a large number of courtiers were trapped and were in danger. Li Shan was not the first to rush to King Qin, but he successfully repelled the Liang army and rescued everyone.

"It's him again?" Tuli Khan gritted his teeth, "This time his head must be beheaded!"

After a whole day of reception, Li Shan rubbed the center of his brows tiredly, and after pouring water, he collapsed on the couch, too tired to talk.

And these officials are all descendants of aristocratic families, even if they are from poor families, they are all Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, who have fathers and grandparents who have been in office for several generations. Because Wen Yanbo was alone, three people came to thank him within one day, all of them were relatives of the Wen family in Taiyuan.

It can be said that Ke He Dun's identity, to a certain extent, can become a symbol of judging Khan's weight.

The founder of the Turkic Empire, Yili Khan Ashina Tumen proposed to him in vain, and later married Princess Changle of the Western Wei Dynasty.

"That's right!" Dubu Khan's eyes were fierce. The enmity with Li Shan was not just personal. If he could defeat the Tang army this time, and then behead the King of Handan, it would surely shock all the tribes in the grassland, including the Ashina clan. Only then can the reputation be revived.

Dubu Khan's spirit was shaken, "I also led ten thousand cavalry personally. Liang Shidu once sent a strange army to attack Renshou Palace...The Tang Emperor was there to escape the summer heat, but it was a pity that the success fell short, and it was Li Huairen who came to help in time."

"Yesterday, Master Liang sent envoys again to ask for help. The Tang army attacked fiercely." Dubu Khan pondered for a moment before saying, "You and I will send troops together, so that Master Liang will not be expelled."

Tuli Khan's grandfather, Qimin Khan, first married Princess Anyi of the Sui Dynasty, then Princess Yicheng, and then Shibi Khan married his stepmother, Princess Yicheng.

Tuli Khan couldn't help thinking in his heart whether it was possible for him to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

The mother Zhu who was at the side was worrying, "There is really no room for the warehouse, and I will ask someone to build two more rooms tomorrow."

There was no way, too many gifts were sent, and they were not box by box, but carriage by carriage.

Li Shan took the thick gift list in Xiaoman's hand, flipped through it casually, and muttered a few words... After all, the people who came were from aristocratic families, not upstarts, and most of the gifts they sent were ancient books, silks and satins, and ancient utensils Ornaments, jade wares, even chess sets, tea sets and the like.

It would be very valuable in future generations, but at this time, there is really no way to sell it... This time, nearly a thousand people have moved from Liyuan County, and a large number of houses need to be expanded. It is a time when money is short.
