The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 77 Poison Heart
"Father Khan! The Tiele people are unfaithful!"

After the meeting, Shibi Khan's eldest son Ashina Shibobi said to his father.

"You can see it, how can I not know." Shibi Khan was very satisfied with the keen insight of his eldest son, but there was nothing he could do.

The tribes of Tiele have always been fools on the wall, and whoever forces them to obey will obey. Over the years, the Turks of East and West have stood side by side, and the tribes of Tiele have swayed from side to side.

"Tong Luo is already old, and I'm not afraid at all. But Yi Shibo from Xue Yantuo's department and Qibi Yage from Qibi department are rebellious, young and strong, and ambitious. They have become self-reliant a few years ago. He is also the strongest among Tiele's minions, so we need to be careful."

Ashina Shibobi also agreed with his father's words, "They dare to disrespect Father Khan, let me cut off their heads!"

"We don't need to do it, we can borrow a knife to kill someone."

"Murder with a borrowed knife?" Ashina Shibobi was puzzled.

"Do you know why Yang Guang in the Southern Sui Dynasty wanted to mobilize his troops to attack the small country of Goguryeo?" Shibi Khan asked suddenly.

Ashina Shibobi said: "Yang Guang is very happy and self-willed."

"No!" Shibi Khan shook his head and said, "There was a powerful group in Guanlong in the Southern Sui Dynasty, and their strength penetrated into all the troops of the Sui Dynasty. As long as they want to rebel, the Sui Dynasty will change in an instant. Yang Guang is afraid that after his death, His descendants were unable to stop them, so they conquered Goguryeo three times in an attempt to use up the war to consume the Guanlong powerful group. The Guanlong powerful group was the biggest hidden danger in the Sui Dynasty, and in Turkic, for my Ashina family, the biggest The threat is Tie Le."

Ashina Shibobi suddenly said: "Father Khan wants to learn from Yang Guang and consume Tie Le's strength by killing Huguan?"

Shibi stroked his son's hair and said, "That's right. I'm not going to take back Tiele's soldiers and horses. They have too many people and their soldiers and horses are too strong. They should die in the Shahu pass."

Shibi Khan's words were ruthless and cold.

The Tiele people are also called Dili, Dingling, Chile, and Gaoche.At first, the Tiele people lived in the Daxianbei Mountains, that is, the Daxing'an Mountains.

Later, they continued to migrate, and now there are Tiele tribes in both East and West Turks.To the north of the Tula River, there are Pugu, Tongluo, Weihe, Bayegu, and Fuluo... From Hami to Yanqi, there are Qibi, Wuhu, Hegu, etc. near the northern Tianshan Mountains...Xueyantuo and others are located in the southwest of the Altai Mountains.The Aral Sea and Caspian Sea in Central Asia have Hexi, Sulujie and so on.There are Alan and others in the east of West Asia.There are Dubo and so on in South Baikal.

They are widely distributed and have many tribes, which are very impressive.

"Wouldn't that be to reduce your own strength?" Shibobi asked.

"The grassland has always been respected by the strong. Only when you are strong can you hold down the tribes. We strong Tiele will submit. If we are weak and they are strong, then they will replace us unceremoniously. You three Uncle Ashina has always been dissatisfied with me. Not only has he been in frequent contact with the Sui Dynasty recently, he has bought a lot of advanced weapons with war horses, and now he is refusing to come because of Shi Wei's uneasiness. I got news that he had secretly negotiated with the leaders of Tiele's tribes, and the Tiele's tribes are powerful, if the third brother is added, then our chances of winning will be greatly reduced."

Shibi Khan knew that the Killing Tiger Pass was difficult to attack, and he did not intend to really go south from the Killing Tiger Pass. His tough attitude at the military meeting was actually just to weaken the strength of Tiele's tribes with the help of Sui.

Today he ordered the generals of Tong Luo's department, but in fact, he did not want to drink because of drunkenness.

Tie Le's biggest threat to the Turks was actually the Qibi and Xue Yantuo tribes. Among them, the Qibi tribe was the strongest, but he didn't go to them first, but went to the weaker Tongluodu.He decided to remove its branches and leaves, and then gnaw on the two hard bones of Qibi and Xue Yantuo.

"Tomorrow, I will order the Tongluo tribe to attack the city. If he refuses again, I will kill Tongluodu in an upright manner, annex his tribe and soldiers, and then order the Qibi tribe to attack the city again."

Kill chickens to make an example to monkeys, and then use a knife to kill people.

"Father Khan, if we delay too long in the Tiger Pass and lose too much, will it affect Father Khan's prestige?"

Shibi Khan laughed: "The prestige of our grasslands comes from strength, everything else is nonsense! I only hope that the guards at the Killing Tiger Pass will continue to guard, and when the strength of the Tiele people is wiped out, we will immediately withdraw to the Khan Court , and then in the name of revenge, mobilize the Tiele people to tackle the problem."

"Didn't Father Khan say that Third Uncle intends to become a Khan on his own? If Father Khan goes back and forth like this, will he collude with Tiele to rebel?"

Shibi Khan said disapprovingly, "Du Bi is my brother. I know him too well. He is ambitious and unruly. Even if he is really self-reliant, it is possible, but as long as I don't die, he will surrender to me obediently."

"As for killing people with a knife, it will indeed weaken our Turkic power, but there is no need to be afraid of it. Because the Sui Dynasty, which is the biggest threat to us, is already an empty shell with a strong outside and a strong inside. If we don't fight it, it will collapse. Back then, Yang Jian executed us. The strategy of joining forces with the weak keeps us fighting among ourselves. Now I am following their method to support Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu and others. In the future, more people will come to me and beg me. What we have to do now is not to send troops south , but to integrate the Turks into a great Khanate from top to bottom. When the Sui Dynasty was in chaos, these ambitious people would attack each other. When they fought to the death, the Turks with one heart and one mind could move southward and dominate the Central Plains .”

……

The next morning!

When Shibi Khan walked out of the king's tent, dozens of followers saluted in unison.

The Turkic military system is relatively simple, and there are only three titles: Tuojie, Guardsman, and String Controller

Fuli is an elite soldier selected from the nine surnames of Zhaowu. It also means wolf, which means the soldiers of the wolf clan. It is the retinue of the grassland khan chiefs. They have made great contributions in the Turkic entrepreneurial era.

And string-controlling people are actually people who can go to the battlefield. Turkic folk customs are tough, and every adult man is a strong fighter, so a small population can easily gather hundreds of thousands of string-controlling people. Compared with the previous two However, although the string-controlling warrior has a certain combat power, he is still not an orthodox soldier.

"Let Tong Luodu lead the headquarters to attack Killing Tiger Pass!"

The messenger left and returned not long after, saying that Tong Luo refused to fight.

Shibi Khan smiled coldly, "Call the chiefs to discuss military affairs again. I want to hear how he will explain his disobedience."

After a while, all the chiefs came to the Chinese army.

In front of the king's tent, Shibi Khan stood there with a cold face, holding the golden knife in his hand.

Qibi Yage whispered to Heyi Shibo, "We all don't go there, let's see how he steps down."

Tong Luodu saluted Shibi Khan coldly, and then stood aside.

When everyone arrived, Shibi Khan waved his hand, and the wolf riders from the brigade rushed up and directly pushed Tong Luo to the ground.

"Tong Luodu, you have repeatedly resisted and refused to obey, how can I allow you to be half-hearted. Come here, push down and chop!"

Qi Bi Ge Leng, Yi Shi Bo and others pleaded for mercy in amazement.

But Shibi ignored it at all, and after a while, Tong Luodu's head was brought up.

"Tong Luo's disobedience is equivalent to rebels! Throw the head of Tong Luo to their camp, Ben Khan will give them another chance, and now go to attack the city, then they can still make atonement, otherwise, they will kill without mercy !"

As a result, more than [-] soldiers and horses from the same Luo tribe were driven to the Shahu Pass.

The horn sounded.

There are rows of archers behind them, and in front of them is the five-foot-high Killing Tiger Pass.

After a moment's hesitation, Shibi Khan sent someone to shoot a wave of arrows at Tong Luo's army, shooting down hundreds of people immediately.

Under the power, Tong Luo's army had no choice but to bite the bullet and start attacking the city.

There are only more than three hundred steps in the narrow gate, and they don't have any equipment except simple ladders.

Only with bows and arrows to cover some people carrying ladders to climb the city.
