Chapter 122: The Turkic civil strife, Princess Yicheng
"Your Majesty, a great joy! a great joy!"
The Minister of War Hou Junji came forward to the court meeting and presented a letter from the border.
All officials were puzzled, why did you like it? But this Hou Junji is a very bad thing. Can't you read it out on the spot?
Li Shimin took the letter submitted by the eunuch and saw it, and said happily: "Okay! It's really a happy event!"
"Your Majesty, what is the matter that makes you happy? Why not tell me it and share it with you?" Wei Zheng, the counselor, stepped forward and asked.
Li Shimin couldn't stop his joy and smiled: "The Khan of the Western Turks commanded Ye Hu, led a hundred thousand troops to attack the Khan of the Eastern Turks, Jieli tribe."
To put it bluntly, the civil strife between the East and West Turks was achieved before. Only one Nine Wolfs roared the moon, which completely aroused the ambition of the Western Turkic Khan to rule Yehu.
Now the Tang Dynasty and the East and West Turks have eliminated the disaster. After the opening of the market, all the goods that were unsuccessful in the past can now be seen everywhere, and even iron tools have been opened to bans by the Tang Dynasty.
Tongye Hu believed that the Tang Dynasty had a meaning of friendship. In addition, when he bought Jiulang Xiaoyue, the conditions for the Qin King of the Tang Dynasty, he had a bolder guess.
The matter of the Wei River Alliance has not yet faded. The two Khans of Turks, Jie Li and Tuli, completely angered the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had just calmed down the turmoil and could not gather its strength. Now it seems that the Tang Dynasty is also a little disgusted with the Eastern Turks.
If he followed the wishes of the Tang Dynasty at this time and fought with the Eastern Turks, he would gain more benefits from the Tang Dynasty regardless of the outcome.
Furthermore, the Turks were divided into two parts, but the most orthodox Khan had always been in Jie Li's line. If he could really accomplish this time, he would reintegrate the East and West Turks, and he could directly become the most powerful Khan in the Turkic Khanate in the future.
No matter how you look at this, Tong Ye Hu thinks that he should be like this.
At the same time, he also sent people to the Tang Dynasty to show that the two countries have good relations. At the same time, he hoped that the Emperor of Tang could send a princess to marry the Western Turks.
However, before the envoy arrived in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin had already received news of the war between the East and West Turks.
On the Eastern Turks side, Jie Li Khan was panicked. He had favored the beauty in his royal court and enjoyed the fine wine bought by the Tang Dynasty. Suddenly, a thunder sounded in his ears.
"This idiot Tong Ye Hu actually sent troops to attack my Eastern Turks? Didn't he know that the tiger next to him had been aggressive long ago?"
He didn't even believe this. The Tang Dynasty is really unpredictable today. Although the two countries are in good terms, they are somewhat hostile to each other.
If it were a famine year, when it was time to invade the Tang Dynasty, Jie Li would never be ambiguous.
But at present, you can exchange cattle and sheep for anything you lack for the Tang Dynasty, and your previous belligerent intentions have been reduced a lot.
"No, this must not happen. Someone must be sent to inform Tong Ye Hu and let him withdraw his troops immediately!"
Perhaps it was because I was used to it and unconsciously brought some commanding tone. Although the Tongyehu was born in a large tribe, it was still not as good as my own path. It shouldn't be the case.
But he forgot that the East and West Turks are now separated, and there is very little land between the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty. Instead, the Eastern Turks have become the biggest "obstruction" between the two!
Send people out and wait for a few days, the horse explorer returned.
"Khan, it's not good!"
"What's the matter? What does Tong Ye Hu mean?"
Sitting in the king's tent, Jie Li Khan looked serious.
The warrior who came back to inform the news quickly explained: "Your Majesty Iron Rule sent to persuade Tongye Hu Khan has already been cut off by Tongye Hu Khan."
"What!"
He stood up in anger. Jie Lizhen did not expect that Tongye Hu would have such courage.
Turn around the account and think about the corresponding method.
"I almost forgot, it seems that they are still there!"
The cold light appeared in his eyes, and he almost forgot that in his Eastern Turkic, there were some "guests" of great origin!
There is a camp in the remote place of the royal court, which is different from most camps in the royal court. There are few animal skins and many brocades.
There is a big flag flying outside the tent, with gold embroidered on the flag and the word "Sui" that explains everything.
Jie Li Khan's stepmother, also his designated wife, Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty.
This is a historical celebrity. As a royal princess who was forced to marry, she was lucky because she avoided court disputes, but unfortunately. After Princess Anyi, who married the Turkic Qimin Khan, died, in order to develop a good relationship with the Turkic, Emperor Wen of Sui changed his name to Gongji to marry Qimin Khan.
In the Sui Dynasty, the Turkic leader married two princesses, only Qimin Khan. Princess Yicheng lived in the Turkic period for nearly 30 years and successively married Qimin Khan, Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, and Jie Li Khan. Remembering these last three names, they were all sons of Qimin Khan.
She first married her father and then married her son. After her brother died, her younger brother married her. This weak Princess Yicheng received the influence of Central Plains culture since childhood. In order to ensure the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty for generations, she dared not commit suicide because she was the bond between the two countries.
But after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, which "usurped the throne", she completely became an avenger. Her patience that had been hard for so many years finally turned into useless achievements. She changed, no longer as timid as before, and began to offer suggestions repeatedly in order to make the Tang Dynasty disappear.
Moreover, in this tent, it was not only Princess Yicheng who lived, but also the Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty and the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty who were taken from Dou Jiande, the grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui, and Yang Zhengdao.
The Turks then signed the Wei River Alliance with the Tang Dynasty. Princess Yicheng was completely angry and had a big fight with Jie Li. She then moved out of the royal tent and has not returned yet.
"Yicheng, come out!"
Hearing this sound, two ladies in the tent with attractive figures and temperament walked out of it.
"Khan, are you looking for me?" Yicheng naturally doesn't need too much etiquette because he is Jie Li's wife.
"I've seen Khan Jie Li!" Empress Xiao slowly bowed and ignored Jie Li's offensive eyes. If it weren't for Yi Cheng's protection, she would have been ruined long ago.
But she can't die. Dao'er is still young and needs her to protect her to preserve her bloodline for the Yang family.
I have to say that the two women are well maintained, but they are much more charming than these Turkic women. They all have a very heavy taste. How could Jie Li, who is used to eating delicious food, touch those women?
Sometimes I was so tired that I arranged for people to go to the border of the Tang Dynasty and snatched two Tang Dynasty women back. When I was tired of playing, I would give it to the servants.
"Yicheng, Tongye Hu wants to fight the Eastern Turks!"
"What?" How could Princess Yicheng believe it, and asked hurriedly: "But he was transferred by others?"
Jie Li told the story of Jiulang Xiaoyue at the previous auction. It has to be mentioned that Princess Yicheng is much smarter than the poor men like the Turks, and often plays the role of military advisors around Jie Li, otherwise Jie Li would not have been so willing to do so.
Although Empress Xiao was jealous, she would not have lost her beauty. Besides, the other party is on the grassland and there are opportunities to let him eat this beautiful lamb.
After hearing this period of time, Princess Yicheng couldn't help but sigh and said, "What a great Tang Dynasty! What a great King of Qin!"
Queen Xiao also had a lot of admiration in her eyes. The age of a child actually played with the East and West Turks in applause. The obvious transfer plan must be taken by both the East and West Turks and they are willing to step into it.
"Send people, give gifts, and repair them with Tongye Hu, and at the same time, you must also repair them with the Tang Dynasty. At this moment, the Khan must worry whether our Eastern Turkic Khanate will be attacked from both sides!"
“How to fix it?”
"Give gifts, give people, give horses, give anything!"
Jie Li's eyes lit up instantly. Is there any better character that is more suitable than the Queen Xiao in front of him? And the grandson of the Sui Emperor. If he was sent to the Tang Dynasty, he would not believe that the Tang Dynasty would really send troops.
As for sending cattle and horses, there is no way to consider this matter. There are countless caravans between the two sides. In this year alone, nearly 100,000 cattle and horses were sent to the Tang Dynasty. Whether or not others are willing to collect it is another matter.
When Yicheng saw Jie Li's gaze, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. How can a person with such a mind succeed?
"Did Khan plan to send Empress Xiao and my nephew to the Tang Dynasty?"
Jie Li was not angry when he was defeated by Yicheng, but instead laughed and said, "Yicheng, you and I are husband and wife!"
