Chapter 749: The Great Wall
Standing at the head of Fengzhou City, the eldest grandson Wuji was extremely bitter in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Xiangye, the envoy of the Tongye Protector has arrived." Li Simo, the deputy capital protector of Zhenbei and the king of Heshun County, stood aside and spoke.
"Got it."
The eldest grandson Wuji didn't reply, he didn't want to see the envoy of the Tongye Hu Khan at this time.
"King Jun, did you say that the current situation is all due to my mistake? Is this the so-called one wrong step, one wrong step, and losing all the games? ”
Li Simo, who had blue eyes and yellow hair and a big beard, was silent. At the beginning, he also supported Changsun Wuji to send troops to attack Yu Shot in the Plain, but he didn't know that the situation would develop to such a point.
"Maybe I should have listened to Li Chao's words more, stood still, and sat back and watched the Turks, Tiele and others fight. I was too anxious, which led to the fact that now Tongye Hu took the opportunity to dominate the grassland, and I became a sinner of the Tang Dynasty. ”
When he said this, his face was disgraced.
"Xiangguo, this is something that I couldn't have expected at the beginning."
"But if Li Chao is in Shuofang, maybe it will be a different situation."
"It's better to go and meet the envoy of Tong Ye Hu first, maybe the situation can be reversed." Li Simo persuaded, "The envoy is Ashina Ni, the grandson of Datou, the son of the Khan of Sheku, he has been an envoy to Chang'an, and Li Xiangguo has also been a brother, we can listen to him to hear the meaning of Tong Yehu." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, and now it can only be like this.
"Let's go."
In the city of Fengzhou, Ashina has been sitting for a while.
At the meeting at the camp under Daqing Mountain, he opposed the southern expedition, but the opposition was ineffective, and there were too many people in favor of the southern expedition. Now that the grasslands are unified, his uncle has made Ye Hu a great khan, and he is full of spirit.
Tuli was named the second khan, and Tong Yehu named his son Ashina Zhili as Ye Hu, and then his uncle, that is, Ni's uncle Mo Helu, as the eastern khan.
Then the sealing of the Yu shot is set to the south, the sealing of the valley is set to the north, the extension is set to the east, and the mud is set to the west.
And then below is Lifa, Tutun and so on.
The hierarchy is clear, and the descendants of the Tumen Khan are divided into territories.
Under the Yehu Khan, the second Khan of Tuli is regarded as the only subordinate Yehu, and then Yehu Zhili, he is equivalent to the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he is regarded as the heir of the Ming Dynasty. Below is the Eastern Khan Mohedu, this is the little Khan, which is equivalent to a prince of the sub-feudals, and then the following four are set up, which are considered to be the four sub-feudal governors.
The mud is set up for the west, but it doesn't have much real power, and there are both leaf protection and leaf protection on it.
He was sent as an envoy by Tongyehu and came to Fengzhou, which also shows that he was excluded from Tongyehu's Khan Court. Otherwise, it's just a letter, and he doesn't need one of the four places in his house to come.
Sitting in the official hall, someone prepared refreshments for him.
There are no added mare's milk and other things, and the tea soup tastes a little light, but it has a unique taste under the tasting.
"Mud, I've kept you waiting."
A rough voice sounded, Ni Xiao looked up, and saw that the Hu people-looking clansman Ashina Simo appeared, and when he saw him, Ni Xiao's brows furrowed, and there was a trace of disgust in his eyes.
Although Ni Yu also likes the culture of the Central Plains and the beautiful scenery of Chang'an, he will never be like Ashina Simo, reciting his own people, and being a sudden traitor to join the Han people, especially since he has always acted as a spy of the Khan people, and he was a traitor at a critical time, and gave Yu Shot a fatal blow.
Yu Shotshe is now eager to eat this Li Simo alive.
"Let me introduce you to you, this is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the governor of Shuofang Dao, and the prince of Zhenbei to protect the Wei State. Xiangguo, this is the great-grandson of Datou Khan, the son of Shekui Khan, and the nephew of Tongyehu Khan, Ashina Ni, was originally a Western Turkic secret service, and now it is the western part of the Turkic Khanate. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji took the initiative to open his arms and hugged Ni Yan.
"I heard that Ni Yushe and my Tang Dynasty Zhao Guogong Li Xiang once worshipped brothers?"
Ni Yu nodded, "Zhao Guogong is a very interesting person, we hit it off at first sight, and we fell in love very much, so we became brothers." "He didn't hide it.
The two sides sat down again.
The mud didn't wait for the eldest grandson Wuji to climb the friendship, and directly took out a letter.
"Duke of Wei, this is a letter from the Great Khan of my family to His Majesty the Emperor of Wei and the Tang Dynasty, and the Great Khan of my family requests that the Tang State can immediately withdraw from Hetao, Daibei and other places and return to my Turkic people. In order to ensure the friendship between the two families and avoid fighting each other, the Great Khan of our family proposed that the border between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty should be bounded by the Great Wall of Sui. The north of the Great Wall is owned by the Turks, and the south of the Great Wall is owned by the Tang Dynasty. ”
Listening to these words, the eldest grandson Wuji's face was ugly.
If the Great Wall is used as the boundary, then the Tang Dynasty will have to give up a lot of territory.
Half of Hexi, most of Shuofang, and Daibei in Hedong must be ceded.
There is the rich western end of the Hexi Corridor, the fertile Shuofang Hetao Plain, and the vast territory of Daibei, and it is impossible for Datang to agree to such a request.
The Great Wall is boundary, which is impossible.
"Mud, my Datang and Tongye Hu Khan have always been friendly, and now Tongye Hu can unify the grassland, which is also a lot of help for my Datang. I think that at the moment, the two sides are abrupt, and it is good to take the Yinshan Mountain Range as the boundary. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's words, Ni Yi just smiled when he heard it.
"Wei Guogong, my family's Great Khan is now leading 400,000 elite iron horsemen to hunt in the north of Daqing Mountain."
Four hundred thousand.
The eldest grandson Wuji doubted this amount, and when Daqingshan came over, it was the Qiantao Plain. Tong Yehu now unifies the steppe, and all the departments are vying to be attached, and he integrates the forces of the eastern and western Turks, and 400,000 cavalry is definitely possible. But he didn't believe that 400,000 cavalry had now been assembled in the north of Daqing Mountain.
Although the Turks did not have as high requirements for logistics grain and grass as the Central Plains, they also needed to prepare grain and grass. Now that it is said that 100,000 cavalry will be gathered in the north of Daqing Mountain at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji believes that 400,000 soldiers can be piled up in one place, but he does not believe it.
A battlefield, with 58,000 soldiers and horses, is already quite saturated. According to Li Chaobing's detailed explanation in his book, with the ability to command, communicate, and logistically supply more than 100,000 people in this era, they can command and supply, and the more soldiers, the more difficult it becomes.
Therefore, the more soldiers the better, on the contrary, the more soldiers, the easier it is to get confused.
The effect of 400,000 people, if not separated, but piled up into one battlefield, is definitely not as good as 100,000 people.
But even if it is 100,000 Turkic cavalry, the eldest grandson Wuji is not sure.
When Shuo Fangdao was in Li Chao, he claimed to raise 100,000 soldiers. But in fact, the number of government soldiers is only 50,000, and in fact, it is the militia and township soldiers. Even if it is 50,000 government soldiers, it is divided into several times, so those who are on duty everywhere are usually 10,000 government soldiers.
Last time, Changsun Wuji raided Yu Shot, mobilized and assembled 20,000 government soldiers and 20,000 township soldiers, and these soldiers are still in Fengzhou. But Fengzhou has just been defeated, and there is a lack of city fortresses, so it is difficult to harden the Turks.
Especially his 40,000 horses, the number of cavalry was only 8,000.
"Ni Shi She, our two families have always been harmonious, and my Datang will also marry the princess to Tongye Hu Khan, and the two families are still in-laws."
The mud smiled.
The princess of the Tang Dynasty and Qin, who doesn't know what's going on, is just a clan daughter of the Tang Dynasty, not the emperor's daughter at all, it's just a princess title, this thing can't deceive the Turks.
"Our Great Khan has married Princess Yicheng as Kedun!"
Princess Yicheng, the eldest grandson Wuji's face became more and more ugly when he heard this.
This Princess Yicheng has lived in the Turks for more than 20 years, she is a princess crowned by the emperor of the Sui Dynasty and a daughter of the Sui Dynasty. At the earliest, Yang Jian married Princess Anyi to Qimin Khan, but Princess Anyi died of illness soon after being unaccustomed to the water and soil, and Yang Jian married Princess Yicheng in order to win over Qimin Khan.
After that, Qimin Khan died, Princess Yicheng according to the Turkic inheritance marriage system, and his son Shibi Khan, Shibi Khan, Shibi Khan, Luo died and married Jieli Khan, in the Turks for more than 20 years, married Qimin father and son, and served as Kedun for more than 20 years.
Kedun is equivalent to the queen of the Central Plains.
It's also a legend.
And now, Tong Yehu unified the eastern and western grasslands, and after becoming the Great Khan, he also married Princess Yicheng.
Princess Yicheng married her fifth husband and the fifth Great Khan.
But this princess is the princess of the Sui Dynasty after all, just like the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who has been encouraging her Turkic Khan husband to attack the Sui Dynasty after Yang Jian usurped the throne.
Princess Yicheng will definitely not have any good attitude towards the Tang Dynasty that usurped the Sui.
Tong Ye Hu did not set up the princess of the Tang Dynasty and his relatives as Kedun, but set up the princess of Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty as Kedun, which revealed too much information.
Knowing that things have developed in a bad direction, the eldest grandson Wuji still hopes to save it.
"The Tang Dynasty and the Turks are both powerful countries, and if the two powers compete, I am afraid that they will lose both."
Ni Yu took a sip of tea, "I only know that Tang deliberately provoked Turkic civil strife, and then took advantage of the fire to rob and seize the land of Hetao. Now that Tong Yehu is the Great Khan, he has proposed the border line between the two sides, if the Tang Dynasty refuses, then don't blame me for the Turkic iron cavalry going south. ”
"If Tang Guo takes the initiative to retreat within the Great Wall, then the two families will be able to be friendly and harmonious in the future. Otherwise, if the Tang State does not give it, my Great Khan will personally lead 400,000 iron horsemen to the south to take it for himself! ”
"I have brought the letter and the word, farewell!" Mud got up.
"Mud, don't be in a hurry to leave, talk slowly."
"There's nothing to talk about, by the way, my Great Khan has another request, Ashina Simo must be handed over to the Turks for disposal!"
Li Simo's face was ugly.
If you leave it at the disposal of the Turks, you will definitely die.
"Ni Yushe, otherwise, I will immediately write a letter and submit it to the court and His Majesty, and I will send someone to escort Ni Yushe to Xiangyang in person to meet my His Majesty the Tang Emperor, the demarcation of the border between the two countries, such a major matter, how can I decide on one side, what do you think?"
The mud is still hesitating.
The eldest grandson Wuji continued, "If Ni Yushi can tell His Majesty the truth to my family in person, maybe Your Majesty will carefully consider the border matter, if a friendly result can be reached at that time, wouldn't it be better for the two families to avoid seeing each other?" ”
"Then I will first send someone back to report to the Great Khan and listen to the meaning of the Great Khan. If the Great Khan asks me to take a trip to the Central Plains, I don't mind. ”
A smile appeared on the face of the eldest grandson Wuji.
"That's true, the mud is here to hear back."
Exit the hall.
The eldest grandson Wuji's face was ugly, and Li Simo was even more ugly.
The eldest grandson Wuji was worried that the Turks would move south, and Li Simo was more worried about the Tang Dynasty and the Turks negotiating peace. Because once peace is negotiated, he may be abandoned.
"Xiangguo, Tong Yehu's appetite is too great, the Great Wall is the boundary, this matter must not be promised to them!"
"I know that Your Majesty and the court will not agree, but we need to delay for a while."
