Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 123 Turkic civil strife, Princess Yicheng

"Your Majesty, great joy! Great joy!"

Hou Junji, Minister of the Ministry of War, came forward to present a border letter at the court meeting.

All the officials wondered, why do you like it, but this Hou Junji is not a toy, can't it be read out on the spot?
Li Shimin took a look at the letter forwarded by the servant, and said with great joy: "Good! It's really a happy event!"

"Your Majesty, what is it that makes you so happy, why don't you share it with the lords?" Wei Zheng, an admonisher, stepped forward and asked.

Li Shimin couldn't hold back the joy in his eyes, and said with a smile: "The Western Turkic Khan controls Ye Hu and leads an army of [-] to attack the Eastern Turkic Khan Jieli."

To put it bluntly, the civil strife in the East and West Turks, Li Fangchen's layout was achieved before, just a statue of nine wolves screaming at the moon, which completely stimulated the ambition of Yehu, the Khan of the West Turks.

Now that the Tang Dynasty and the Eastern and Western Turks have avoided disasters, after the opening of the market, all kinds of goods that were previously coveted can now be seen everywhere, and even ironware has been lifted by the Tang Dynasty.

Tong Yehu believed that Datang had the intention of making friends, and in addition to the conditions of King Qin of Datang when he bought Nine Wolf Xiaoyue, he had a bolder guess.

The matter of the Weishui alliance has not yet faded away. What the two khans Turkic Jieli and Tuli did at the beginning completely angered Datang. At that time, Datang had just quelled the turmoil and could not gather strength. I also have some dislike for East Turks.

If he follows Datang's wishes at this time and competes with East Turks, he can get more benefits from Datang regardless of the outcome.

Furthermore, the Turks split into two parts, the east and the west, but the most orthodox Khan has always been in the Xieli line. If I can really succeed this time, then I will reintegrate the East and West Turks, and I can also jump directly Become the most powerful khan of the Turkic Khanate in the future.

No matter how you look at this matter, Tong Yehu feels that he should be like this.

At the same time, he also sent people to the Tang Dynasty to show the friendship between the two countries. At the same time, he hoped that the Emperor Tang could send a princess to make peace with the Western Turks.

It's just that before the emissary arrived in Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin had already received the news that the Eastern and Western Turks were at war.

On the East Turkic side, Jieli Khan was in a panic. He was pampering the beauties in his royal court and enjoying the fine wine bought by the Tang Dynasty, when suddenly a thunder rang in his ears.

"Tong Yehu, an idiot, actually sent troops to attack me, East Turk? Doesn't he know that the tiger next to him is already aggressive?"

Even he himself did not believe what he said. Today's Tang Dynasty is really unpredictable. Although the two countries have good relations, they are also somewhat hostile to each other.

If it was a famine year, when it was time to invade the Tang Dynasty, he Jieli would never be ambiguous.

It's just that right now, everything that is lacking can be exchanged for cattle and sheep to Datang, and the previous belligerent thoughts have been reduced a lot.

"No, this must not happen, we must send someone to tell Tong Yehu to let him retreat immediately!"

Perhaps it was Khan himself who was used to being in front of him, and unconsciously took on an orderly tone. Although Tong Yehu came from a large tribe, he was still not as upright as his own way. It stands to reason that he shouldn't have the intention of resisting.

But he forgot that now that the East and West Turks are separated, the West Turks and the Great Tang border very little land, but the East Turks have become the biggest "obstacle" between the two!
Send people out, wait for a few days, and the warriors who explored the horse return.

"Khan, it's not good!"

"What are you panicking about? What does Tong Yehu mean?"

Sitting in the king's tent, Jieli Khan looked serious.

The warrior who came back to report hurriedly explained: "Qi Khan, Master Tie Lv, who was sent to persuade Tong Yehu Khan, has already had his head cut off by Tong Yehu Khan."

"what!"

Standing up angrily, Jieli really never thought that Tong Yehu would have such courage.

Go back and forth in the account and think about the corresponding method.

"Almost forgot, it seems there are still them!"

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he almost forgot that there were some "guests" with a long history in East Turkic!
In a remote area of ​​the royal court, there is a tent, which is different from most of the tents in the royal court. There are few animal skins and more brocades.

There is also a large flag flying outside the tent, embroidered with gold characters on the flag, and the word "Sui" explains everything.

Jieli Khan's stepmother and his appointed wife, Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty.

This is a historical celebrity. As a royal princess who was forced to get married, she was lucky because she avoided court disputes, but she was also unfortunate. To reconcile the relationship, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty changed the name of the clan daughter to Gong Shicheng and married Qimin Khan.

In the Sui Dynasty, Qimin Khan was the only Turkic leader who married two princesses in a row.Princess Yicheng lived in Turkic for nearly 30 years, and married Qimin Khan, Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, and Jieli Khan successively. Remember that the last three names are all the sons of Qimin Khan.

First marry the father and then marry the son, and after the death of the elder brother, the younger brother will marry. This weak Princess Yicheng has been influenced by the culture of the Central Plains since she was a child. In order to ensure the eternal foundation of the Sui Dynasty, she dared not commit suicide because she is the one between the two countries. link.

But after the establishment of the "usurper" Datang, she completely became an avenger, and all her hard work and patience for so many years finally became useless.She has changed, she is no longer as submissive as before, and began to offer advice repeatedly, in order to make Datang disappear.

Moreover, in this tooth tent, not only Princess Yicheng lived, but also the Sui Dynasty Empress Xiao and the Sui Dynasty emperor's heir, grandson of Sui Yang Emperor, Yang Zhengdao, who had been snatched from Dou Jiande.

Afterwards, Turkic and Datang signed the Weishui alliance. Princess Yicheng was completely angry and had a big quarrel with Jieli.

"Yicheng, come out!"

Hearing this sound, two ladies with attractive figures and extraordinary temperament walked out of the tent.

"Khan, are you looking for me?" Since Yicheng is Xieli's wife, he naturally doesn't need too much etiquette.

"I've met Jieli Khan!" Empress Xiao saluted slowly, turning a blind eye to Jieli's offensive gaze. If it wasn't for Yicheng's protection, she would have been ruined long ago.

But she can't die, Dao'er is still young, and she still needs her protection to preserve the blood for the Yang family.

I have to say that the two girls are well maintained, but they are much more charming than this Turkic girl, and each of them has a strong smell. How could Xieli, who is used to eating delicacies, touch those girls.

Sometimes I can't bear it anymore, so I arrange people to go to the border of the Tang Dynasty, grab two women from the Tang Dynasty and come back, and give them to the servants when they get tired of playing.

"Yicheng, Tong Yehu wants to fight the Eastern Turks!"

"What?" How could Princess Yicheng believe it, and hurriedly asked: "But you were instructed by others?"

Jieli told the whole story of the nine wolves howling at the moon at the previous auction. It must be mentioned that Princess Yicheng is much smarter than the bad guys like Turks, and she often plays the role of a military advisor for Jieli. Nor will she be so laissez-faire.

Even though Empress Xiao is greedy, she won't let her be lost by her beauty. Besides, now that the other party is on the grassland, there are plenty of opportunities for him to eat this beautiful lamb.

Princess Yicheng couldn't help sighing after hearing what happened in Datang during this period of time: "What a Great Tang! What a King Qin!"

Empress Xiao also had a lot of admiration in her eyes, the young girl actually played with the East and West Turks under the applause, and the clear transfer plan, the East and West Turks had to be borne, and she was willing to step into it.

"Send people, give gifts, make peace with Tong Yehu, and at the same time make peace with Datang. At this moment, Khan must worry about whether our East Turkic Khanate will be attacked by enemies!"

"How to fix it?"

"Gifts, people, horses, anything!"

Jieli's eyes lit up in an instant, giving it away?Hmph, is there any better role than the Empress Xiao in front of me?And the grandson of the Sui emperor, if this was sent to Datang, he didn't believe that Datang would really send troops.

As for sending cattle and horses, there is no way to consider this matter. There are countless caravan exchanges between the two sides. In this year alone, nearly [-] cattle and horses were sent to Datang. Whether people want to accept them is another matter.

When Yicheng saw Xieli's gaze, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. How could such a heart-hearted person accomplish anything?

"Is Khan planning to send Empress Xiao and my nephew to Tang Dynasty?"

Jie Li was not annoyed by Yi Cheng's denunciation, instead he laughed and said, "Yi Cheng, you and I are husband and wife!"
