Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 866 Provoking Discord

On September [-], it was sunny and slightly windy.

Tuli Khan, who had been very unhappy all night, heard the news not long after waking up, and couldn't help being a little surprised, "Really?"

"Really." Ashina Association rate curled his lips and said: "Li Huairen is too underestimated. Yesterday he took the Chinese army directly. Do you want to fight to the death today?"

Tuli Khan's eyes flickered, and he went straight to Ashina Sheer without saying anything. The latter didn't look depressed after yesterday's small setback. Instead, his expression became more determined, and his control over his subordinates was also strengthened .

No way, who made last year's Jieli Khan so useless?

Compared with Ashina Sheer, who personally moved forward with the Khan flag, Jieli Khan is a clear negative example.

"It is true that a small group of cavalry was sent to attack last night." Ashina Sheer sneered: "The main force of the Tang army arrived the day before yesterday, and the battle lasted all day yesterday, yet the fortress has not yet been built."

The day before yesterday, Li Shan led tens of thousands of troops to the front line, and immediately dispatched cavalry to attack. In the early morning of the second day, just after dawn, the left and right armies first set off a war, and in the afternoon, nearly ten thousand cavalry raided, almost killing Ashina Sheer, Tuli In front of the Khan and the two of them, the Turks were embarrassed for a while, and the killings were heavy.

If it is said that the day before yesterday and yesterday, Li Shan had already seemed impatient, but yesterday night, Ashina Sheer sent a small group of cavalry to attack at night, just to investigate this matter, because yesterday he accidentally discovered that the Tang army did not build a building. The camp and started the war in the first place.

It is true that no camp was built, which shows one thing. Li Shan is confident and hopes to defeat the Turks as soon as possible, and even hopes to recover the three states in a short time and expel Liang Shidu.

Tuli Khan was a little excited, and whispered: "When are you going to do it?"

"Not urgent."

"But the Tang army's left and right armies are close together, if Li Huairen's entire army presses up..." Tuli Khan frowned slightly, "Yesterday the casualties were too heavy."

Ashina Sheer didn't say a word. The casualties were indeed too heavy. Neither the khan himself nor the tribal leaders below could continue to bear such a huge loss. Within a radius of ten miles, there were nearly ten thousand people these days. Soldiers are buried here.

After hesitating for a while, Ashina Sheer said in a low voice: "Look at today... Tang Qi was also damaged a lot yesterday, and Li Huairen didn't have many heavy cavalry like that."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden noise outside, and the two frowned at the same time and turned their heads to see that Ashina Sheer's confidant general Kang Shuai was confronting Tuli Khan's younger brother Ashina Jiesheshu. With eyebrows and eyes raised, he almost made a move.

"Khan, Tang Jun sent a letter." Kang Huai was tall and burly, with a dark complexion, squinting at the association rate.

And the leader of the association took out a letter from his arms resentfully, "The envoy of the Tang Army sent... it is specified to be for the Great Khan."

The Great Khan mentioned by Kang preset refers to Ashina Sheer, and the rate of association naturally refers to Tuli Khan.

"I joined hands with Brother Sheer, but you two are fighting because of a small gap." Tuli Khan scolded a few words, took the letter, and was about to say something to smooth things over, but his eyes only glanced, and his mouth It was closed tightly.

The surroundings became quiet, and Ashina Sheer took a few steps to the side deliberately, and then said: "Li Huairen is the best at sowing dissension, and since he left the town of Daizhou, the clan has been in chaos, all thanks to him. "

Tuli Khan knew that it was the other party reminding him not to fall for the trick... He knew that the two Khans were here, but he sent a letter to his former sworn brothers. The meaning was too clear.

Tuli Khan thought for a while and waved his hand to dismiss the crowd, then said with a smile: "It seems that Li Huairen also knows that you and I are hand in hand, and he is powerless."

Don't talk nonsense, last year you and Jieli Khan went south together, more than [-] troops besieged a small town of Guji, Li Huairen was also unable to catch up, didn't he end up sowing dissension and finally won a big victory?

Ashina Sheer complained a few words in his heart, took a look at the letter from the other party... Uh, his face turned pale and blue at first, then his body trembled slightly, and finally he rolled up the letter paper and threw it on the ground angrily , and stepped on it hard.

"Such nonsense!"

"Li Huairen!"

"You will be hacked into pieces!"

Tuli Khan also showed anger on his face, but he was thinking in his heart, in a sense, he is really not talking nonsense!
This letter was written by Li Shan and Wen Yanbo, and the first paragraph roughly means this... Ashina Sheer killed his uncle with his nephew. It is inhumane for the children of the tribe to be sent to death, and it is injustice for the Tang emperor to let them return to the grassland and attack them half a year later.

You, Tuli Khan, are also proficient in Sinology. Wouldn’t God punish such an unfilial, unfaithful, unkind, and unrighteous person?

In fact, it is quite normal for nephews to kill uncles on the grasslands. Fathers kill sons, sons kill fathers, and brothers kill each other.

Driving the people to die... This is obviously referring to the battle in front of the hill yesterday, but Ashina Sheer didn't hold the sweat flag to move forward, so is he going to flee like Jieli Khan?
That can only kill more clansmen, and you, Li Huairen, will most likely follow the example of Cangtouhe and pile up the capital.

As for the Emperor Tang letting Ashina Sheer return to the grassland, isn't it for the Turks to continue the civil strife?
What is unkind and unrighteous, what is unfaithful and unfilial... It's all nonsense.

But Tuli Khan looked at Ashina Sheer, who was panting heavily, thinking that he knew that Li Shan was trying to sow discord...but he seemed to have been tricked, because he thought what he said was right.

Within the Ashina tribe, Ashina Sheer and Tuli Khan are relatively special. It is not that these two people are the leaders of the younger generation, and they are both khans now, but that they are proficient in Sinology is a heterogeneity within the family.

More importantly, the Turks are now in a period of transition, from slavery to half-slave and half-feudalism. The most typical example is that Jieli Khan actually established his capital in Wuyuan County, trusted Han advisers, and tried to concentrate power.

And Ashina Sheer and Tuli Khan were hostile to Jieli Khan successively, but they all followed this path...It’s okay to be unkind, but unfaithful and unfilial, this hat is worn on the head, it’s Ah Shi Na Sheer did not want to see it very much.

Of course, it’s just the first paragraph, and it’s not enough to make Ashina Sher so furious... Uh, in fact, Ashina Sheer is so furious, or making such a furious gesture, it’s a gesture of respect. Tuli Khan expressed his attitude, or he was testing Tuli Khan's attitude after reading the letter.

Because of the second paragraph in the letter, Li Shan swears... Although you, Tuli Khan, once betrayed the alliance, I, Li Huairen, speak honesty.
What's more, there is no grievance or enmity between you and me. Is there any life-and-death hatred?

It's just that Ashina Sheer is an ambitious thief with big plans, brother must be on guard!
My younger brother only hates Sheer, and I only hope to take his head in this battle. After the war, the two countries stopped their troops, and the emperor commanded the troops on the grassland fortress, and my emperor lived in the pass. The two will not invade each other.
