Chapter 17 Intrigue (3) Du Modu and Mohe Dagan
Two major black generals among the ten Western Turkic tribes, Dumodu, most of the left wing, and Mohedagan, who lives in the same room as Mukun, most of the right wing.
After the death of his former Tuqi Shi Dahan Sulu, the two had a fierce internal struggle. Because Mohe Dagan ignored the demeanor of the Turks, he personally went to Kucha Town to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty's governor Gai Jiayun, which eventually triggered the Tang army to enter the Saiyechuan in large numbers and then eliminated the core force of the real Tuqi Shiren, causing a huge change in the situation of the Saiyechuan basin on the northern foot of the Snow Mountains. Mohe Dagan became a "traitor" in the minds of the entire Turkic tribe.
Of course, for the Chumukun tribe, Mohe Dagan, who inherited the "Tuqi Shi Khan", was naturally not a traitor, but a complete hero, because after Mohe Dagan had the title of Tuqi Shi Khan, the tribes around him did not dare to do anything to him at will, but he could conquer everywhere in the name of the Tang Dynasty.
The so-called master is famous, which means that.
The Tang Dynasty, at least now, is that "name".
If Sun Xiurong had not made trouble, whether it was the governor Gai Jiayun or the deputy envoy Meng Lingcha, after Suoyechuan defeated the thunder cavalry, he would burn, kill and plunder, and demolish all the cities, and then leave with the seized people, livestock, and property. However, with Sun Xiurong's "reckless" intervention and the later Suoye governor's office, the situation of Suoyechuan changed drastically again.
A Tang Dynasty enclave-like governor's mansion lies across the Ashejie, Chumukun and Geshu tribes. The appearance of the governor's mansion made the surrounding areas deeply understand that the powerful troops in the Tang Dynasty could not move.
Of course, the existence of the Governor's Office is not completely beneficial. Due to his existence, Mohe Dagan, who had won the "Tuqi Shi Khan", could not openly take all the troops into his possession.
This is especially true for Dumodu, who stood on the side of Sulu's two sons in the last war. After this war, he did not receive the title of the Tang Dynasty, nor did he take the initiative to go to Kucha Town to visit the Tang officials. The idea of fighting is really intriguing.
After the demise of the Western Turks, the former right wing divisions gradually accepted the influence of the Zoroastrianism, but the left wing divisions, that is, the tribes east of the Saiyechuan represented by Chumukun of Mohedagan, still believed in the primitive shamanism.
If the Governor's Office had not been in the middle of it, Mohe Dagan would have formed a group of Dumodu. The final winner was very likely to be named "Ye Hu, the Tenth surname" by the Tang Dynasty. It would be impossible for the two to sit together, but at the Honglu Pavilion in Talas City, the two still sat together.
Nothing else, because the court was preparing to formally enthrone Ashinaxin, a descendant of the Western Turkic royal family, as the successor Khan, that is, the ten surnames Khan, and also named Ashinaxin's wife Princess Jiaohe (the former Princess Jiaohe was Ashinaxin's sister and Sulu's wife), it was obvious that he was not going to let the Huang and black generals take over the power of the northern foot of the Snow Mountains.
Ashinaxin is a descendant of Shidianmi Khan. His family had long settled in Chang'an and had long been Chinese. There was no army around him that was loyal to him. After he arrived, he could only rely on the governor's office of Shuye. Of course, with the prestige of Shidianmi's descendants, most of them would gather some small tribes around him, but it would not help after all.
This incident angered the chiefs of various Western Turkic tribes, and also made Sun Xiurong, the governor of the Suiye Governor's Office, very troubled.
When there was a little better news, because Ashinaxin was afraid to come, she probably wouldn't arrive at Suyechuan in a while, and it would be half a year later. With this half year, whether it was Sun Xiurong or others like Mohe Dagan, Du Modu and others, they could plan calmly.
This is also an important reason why Mohedagan, Dumodu and others are willing to come to Talas City to attend Sun Xiurong's wedding.
As for the Daxi civilization of the Daxi tribe, although he was a Xianbei tribe from Tuyuhun, he inherited the position of governor of the Yingsauchuan Governor's Office, which originally belonged to the five right wing tribes of the Western Turks. If the tenth Khan Ashinaxin arrives, he will at least be under the jurisdiction of Ashinaxin on the surface.
Of course, Da Xi’s intention to come here is naturally more than that.
In any case, Sun Xiurong is a little uneasy, and another secret descendant, Ashinaxin, is even more frightening.
Moheda is tall and thin, and he is short and strong, and his expression is very tough.
On the grassland, strength is the most respected. Of course, if you have noble bloodline, you can double your strength, but if you have no strength at all, no matter how noble bloodline is, it is useless.
But if Ashinaxin had the help of Sun Xiurong, the situation would be very different.
However, what the two are talking about at the moment is not Sun Xiurong, nor Ashinaxin, nor Princess Jiaohe who had been salivating for the past (not because of Princess Jiaohe's beauty, but because of the Grand Principal represented by Princess Jiaohe), but the Daxi tribe!
The discussion has been halfway through, and both of them have a normal expression. Du Modu said, "So, Da Xi tribe wants to move to the west? Where is the ranch in the west? The lower reaches of the Sailye River and the lower reaches of the Pearl River are already my territory. Does he want to pass on the message through you? Don't think about it, it's impossible."
Moheda smiled and said, "Then do you have any good suggestions?"
Dumodu said: "The Nangong tribe of Naren land and Geshu tribe were moved to Talas by Sun Xiurong. The pasture was just empty. I heard that the Tang people had already promised this place to the country of Bahana. Most of the country of Bahana are farmers. How many herdsmen can there be? What's more, Naren land is pasture, which is not suitable for farming at all."
Mohe Dagan said: "You mean to let the Daxi tribe move to Naren land, that's not bad. They are also next to each other, but whether it is Yingshu River or Naren land, they all rely on the four towns of Anxi. If the Daxi tribe annoyed the Tang people, they still can't hide."
Dumodu sneered, "Then move to the pasture land of Gongyue's tribe. Now they have moved west for hundreds of miles, leaving a large area of pasture. However, if they want to come to the middle of the Yili River, they must pass through Hu Luju Suo Shijin's territory. Let's see if Suo Shijin gives him this face."
"Oh," Mohe Dagan couldn't help but sigh, "In fact, the best place is the northern foot of the Snow Mountains, which can satisfy 20,000 or 30,000 herdsmen. If there was no such Laoshizi Governor's Office, Da Xi's tribe could move to the vicinity of Talas."
Dumodu stared at Mohedagan for a long time, which made him feel a little scared, "Dumdu, what do you mean?"
"Hmph!" Dumodu spat, "The Shi Nishi tribe was originally one of the ten Western Turkic tribes, and one of the five right-wing tribes. You are now the serious Turkic Khan. The Shi Nishi tribe was destroyed by the Tuyuhun barbarians, so you have no intention of avenging them? How do you call on the right-wing tribes to call on the right-wing tribes?"
"Haha," Mohe Dagan was not ashamed, "I am just a Tukha Shi Khan, not even Chumukun Khan. The Tukha Shi no longer exists. What is the reason for me, the Xutou Khan, to seek revenge from the Daxi tribe? What's more, the Daxi tribe came from the West Sea Plateau, and they were all brave and arduous. The people behind the destruction of the Shi Nishi tribe expanded to about 20,000 tents, and I now have less than 30,000 tents. Although I have a slight advantage, I can't do it easily to take the Daxi tribe, let alone they are all in the mountains and valleys!"
Dumodu's eyes turned a few times, "You are the wise man with my black surname. You must have figured out what to do. Let's say it, since you have reached this point, let's just say it clearly."
Mo He Dagan nodded, "Well, the combat power of the Tang army is indeed not comparable to that of us. If the Daxi people turn away from Yingsaochuan, they can only run west for one way, and the next two roads are nothing more than a few, ahem, they are all near Rehai."
"One is to the north, along the western edge of Hu Luju's tribe, first occupy the pastures of the previous Gongyue tribe, and then go west. Don't misunderstand, they will only cause chaos in the Gongyue tribe that has moved here. At that time, you will just draw troops on both sides of the Ruiyechuan to be on the battlefield."
"What's next?"
"Don't worry, it will not affect your tribe. There is not a vast grassland north of Yibohai. It has thousands of miles east and west. If the Daxi people rushed there, the Tang army would not follow."
"Then it's south of Rehai. Our troops gave up a road to allow them to move along the upper reaches of the Shuye River and the southern foot of the Snow Mountain. Since Sun Xiurong occupied Talas, they would not affect your troops when they were traveling, but they would just cause chaos for the two troops of Geshu."
"If the Daxi people defeated Geshuhai, they could occupy the grassland on the southern foot of the Snow Mountains. If they could not, they could only go south from Asha River and let them attack the Shi Kingdom."
Mo Hedagan's words seemed to be nothing serious on the surface, but who is Modu, and he immediately clarified the key points.
"This guy is really cunning. He must have discussed with Da Xi Wenming if he can say these words. If he walks north of Rehai, he will not be able to stay in the former Gongyue tribe ranch near the Tang people's sphere of influence for a long time, but can only continue to go west. At that time, they will not only affect the Gongyue tribe, but also our tribe!"
"Besides, it is better to let them fight to the death with the Geshu tribe. But according to the fact that they destroyed the Shi Nishi tribe in one fell swoop, Geshuhai is definitely not an opponent, and the southern foot of the Snow Mountain is still too close to the Tang people for them, so they can only continue to go west and come to the lower reaches of the Pearl River!"
"This guy's good plan, no matter which way he takes, not only will the Daxi tribe weaken the various divisions on the way, but it will also cause damage to the governor's office of Suyechuan, and it will also have a great impact on our tribe. It's a plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves!"
"At that time, he will lead 10,000 cavalry to follow Daxi's army slowly. I'm afraid that when Daxi's army successfully arrives in the north of Yibohai, the entire snow-capped mountains will be the ranch of Damohe Dagan!"
"Then what you mean by looking for me..."
"If you agree to Da Xi's journey west, will your suggestion be from the north or the south?"
Dumodu smiled and said, "Of course it's north. The new Gongyue tribe has become one with the Governor's Office. We are all mostly Western Turkic tribes. How can we let the Tang people or Xianbei people come to the north and south of the snow-capped mountains? After they come, they have a feud with the Gongyue tribe and the Governor's Office. When they fight against each other, we will just wait and see what changes will happen."
"Ahem," he said again: "At that time, all the east of Yi Jiancheng are from the Mukun tribe. I will only take Talas City."
Mo Hedagan didn't expect that he would agree so readily. As an old fox, he would naturally not be fooled easily. "Okay, what should the Geshu tribe in the south do? If it weren't for their assistance last time, just Sun Xiurong wanted to gain a foothold in Talas? How easy was it?"
"did you mean?"
"Ahem, the two Geshu on both sides of the Talas River are fighting in an internal battle. Geshuhai is stronger, but it is limited. In the end, even if Geshuhai wins, it will be severely damaged. It is better to do this. At that time, your army is ready to fight east of the Sailyechuan, and our army draws out an elite force to break into the Talas River."
"..." Dumodu thought to himself, "This good idea for fighting is obviously stronger. If he fights head-on, he will definitely not be able to get it. He took advantage of the situation when the two Geshu fought hard and could take down the middle reaches of the Talas River in one fell swoop!"
Perhaps he guessed Dumodu’s idea, Mohedagan said: “If things succeed, except for the broken city on the northern foot of the Snow Mountain, how about it?”
