Chapter 211
At the court meeting the next day, Li Shimin's promulgation of various "No. [-] in the world" made the eyes of every civil and military minister red, from the prime minister to the admonisher, all of them had a cold light in their eyes.

Want nothing, that's bullshit.

Entering the court to become an official, what you seek is nothing more than to serve the country and make a name for yourself, and hold great power in your hands.

If Li Shimin refers to them as the number one minister of the year, the number one general of the year, the number one admonisher of the year, etc., this is undoubtedly an affirmation of their hard work this year, and their fame and power will naturally follow.

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all praised Li Shimin for his wisdom and praised him as the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

But when the Tang Dynasty was vigorously practicing internal skills, the Turks were in full swing. The hatred between Xieli and the Tuli Yinan coalition forces was deep. Fall, or Tuli and Yinan fall.

Therefore, although the Turks were already in a world of ice and snow, the two parties had to stop fighting due to the weather, and both were concentrating their strengths, intending to annihilate each other.It's just that Xieli is an old Turkic force, deeply rooted in the grasslands. Although he fell into poverty for a while, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The old Turkic tribes are more convinced of him, and his strength is still as strong as ever.

The Tuliyi men are young and vigorous, representing the power of the Turkic new generation. The overall strength is indeed weaker than Jieli, but they have the support of the Tang Dynasty, have excellent equipment, and have solid armor, and their strength is not inferior to Jieli. How many.

Once the battle was over, each of them suffered heavy losses, and no one could do anything to the other.The more this is the case, the less possible it is for each other to shake hands and say goodbye. There can only be one king on the grassland, and the face has been torn apart, so there is no possibility of reunion.For Xieli, Tuli and Yinan have already threatened his existence, and they cannot be allowed to continue to develop.Tuli and Yinan are the same, they join forces and already have the strength to rival Xieli, and they are not willing to give up.

For the survival of the tribe, they can accept a truce, but it is fanciful to want them to shake hands and make peace.

With the support of Tang Dynasty, Tuli and Yinan exchanged a steady stream of food and armaments from Datang. Their ambitions have reached an extreme, and they think it will be easy to overthrow Jieli Khan to death. Unexpectedly, the Xi clan suddenly sent troops, burned the two of them with a large number of horses, cattle and sheep, and then left.

In the tent of the joint army of Tuli and Yinan, the heroic flames were burning, but their hearts were like falling into a cave of ice, because before that, the Xi clan massacred their tribes.

A series of bad news came, directly stunned the complacent Tuli and Yinan, and for a long time they cursed angrily and unwillingly, "Jieli, a beast, in order to kill us, unexpectedly attracted Xi Clan!"

He was furious, and so was Yi Nan.

At the same time, the two hated in their hearts: I was really self-defeating. As a veteran force on the Turkic prairie, Xieli, if they didn't try their best, it would be impossible for them to fight. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the two planned to fight this time. Win by force.They specially mobilized the troops from various tribes, but they didn't want the Xi clan to take advantage of their loopholes and attack their rear, causing them great panic.Thinking of this, the two almost vomited blood.

"The two Khans, Licong Khan, Huer Khan, Congzhe Khan, and Mohan Khan...seek to see each other together."

The voice of his confidant came from outside the big tent, and he reported the names of eight Khans in a row, which was the same as the letters of plea for help received in the hands of Tuli and Yinan.

Tu Li shook his head and smiled wryly, and said to Yi Nan: "Our troubles have come, needless to say, we are required to send troops to encircle and suppress the Xi clan, but once we divide the troops, Jie Li will be crushed into scum on ice and snow."

Yi Nan also had no choice but to say: "Tuli Khan, I still have to see you, or the army will disperse." The prairie has always believed that the strong are respected and the strength is paramount. A loyal tribal heart will also plant a huge risk of division.For the sake of their own safety, the leaders of the various ministries who regard their own tribal interests above all others may choose to surrender to Xieli.

Tuli Khan didn't know it, after the two of them thought about it for a while, they sighed and said, "Let everyone come in."

As soon as permission was granted, Ashina Congli, Hurmod, Ashina Congzhe and others rushed in one after another.

"King Khan, you have to make the decision for me!" Ashina Congzhe was the most miserable. His son died first in Jieli (a tribe killed by Qin Feng, but for the sake of his own interests, but all who died were let He put the blame on the head of Jieli Khan), thinking of avenging his son this time, under the instigation of Tuli Khan, he mobilized all the Tuojie and guards under his command in one go, and only a small number of soldiers remained. A man of strings guards the land.In order to avenge his son, his soldiers rushed the hardest and suffered the heaviest losses.As a result, this side has not yet won, but the five tribes of the Xi clan were destroyed in one fell swoop in the rear, and cattle, sheep and horses became the opponent's trophies.Thinking of my many years of hard work, I almost lost more than half of it. My heart is so cold. For a 50-year-old man, tears are streaming down my face.

Looking at his uncle, Tuli Khan also felt sympathetic and felt sorry for him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I have no ties with Jieli Khan and the Xi clan, your hatred is My hatred, your sons are my brothers, I will definitely cut off their heads and paint them as drowning vessels for you, especially my brother, who died a miserable death. Once I win this time, I will fight with you He never dies." He deliberately mentioned Ashina Congli's dead child in order to arouse his sympathy with the enemy and keep him to continue fighting against the enemy.

Ashina shook his head miserably and said: "The tribe was destroyed, the people who were killed had nowhere to live, and their corpses were exposed in the wilderness, becoming the meat of birds and beasts. Those who were lucky enough to escape were homeless and fled in all directions. Being robbed by horse thieves or captured by other clans is all because of my vengeance. This big mistake has been made, and I will never go back to make up for it. How do I face the father who passed the Khan seat to me? I hope King Khan approves, oh Shi Na withdrew his army from Zhe and went back to gather the scattered clansmen to prepare for how to survive the winter." The lair was kicked, and the Ashina Congzhe tribe suffered heavy economic and material losses. They will definitely not be able to survive this winter. Will they be able to survive this long and cold winter? , he can only resign himself to fate.

Tuli Khan shook his head and sighed, and had no choice but to say: "Uncle, be careful all the way, you suffered this loss because of me, Tujue. I, Tuli, will give you all compensation and help you get through this winter."

After Ashina joined Zhe, Turkic khans such as Ashina Congli, Huermod, and Mohan Lizan also left one after another. They all said that they were threatened by the Xi people and planned to settle down the escaped tribe. They will regroup after the spring of next year. revenge.

Among them, there are those who are loyal to Tuli and those who are loyal to Yinan.If they want to leave, there is nothing they can do. This is a rule since ancient times, and no one can change it, Bishi Khan can't, and neither can Xieli.

This is also the most uncontrollable place for the grassland people. Although each tribe will regard one person as the leader, they all put their own tribe first.For their own tribe, they can ignore and disobey the Turkic Khan.

Jieli Khan is the British lord of the Turks. He saw that this system was not good for his power as early as when he was young. On them, the Turkic situation of silos was changed, and a Turkic country like the Han Dynasty was established.It's just that so far, among the Turkic tribes, few have followed his example.

Today, Tuli Khan and Yinan Khan finally understand Jieli's intentions and the disadvantages of the Turkic system.

The Tuli-Yi male coalition was headed by Tuli, so all the ministries were requesting from Tuli.Tuli allowed Ashina to leave from Zhe and others, because he had no reason to refuse them, and it was useless to persuade them, so he could only let go.

Seeing this, Yi Nan stood up knowingly, and said, "Khans, please stop for a while. Yi Nan has a piece of advice, it's not too late to make a decision after listening."

"Yi Nan Khan, please tell me!" Yi Nan was the second leader, and everyone stopped to show his face.

Yi Nan Khan pondered: "Your homes are broken, and it is useless to go back, and the status quo cannot be changed."

Ashina Congzhe frowned and said, "Yi Nan Khan means that we don't care about our brothers?"

"No, no, no!" Yi Nan repeated the word "no" three times, and explained: "I didn't mean that, what I meant was the fact that the Xi clan did evil, and it won't help if you go back. Khans, please Think about it, the Xi tribe has a strong military force, with nearly [-] people who control strings, and their combat effectiveness is very powerful. Now they have become Jieli's lackeys, and there is no room for maneuver with us. If you divide your troops and leave, you will fall into Jieli , the trap of the Xi Clan. Maybe on your way back, the Xi Clan has already opened up a big net, waiting for you to send it up! The combined soldiers and horses of your various ministries are less than [-], and overall they are not as good as the Xi Clan. Yes, that would be a dead end!"

The complexions of Ashina Congli, Hurmod, Ashina Congzhe and others changed drastically. They are all sensible people, and they also know that what Yi Nan said is very likely.If this is the case, their tribe will disappear on the Turkic steppe.

"Then what should we do?" Ashina Congzhe asked anxiously.

Yi Nan sighed, "I think it's wise to gather those who survived the catastrophe in one place, so that we can tide over the difficulties together. We don't divide the troops. If there are too many people, the evil wolves are too afraid to come!"

Tuli said at the right time: "Yes, uncle, all the belongings have already been plundered, and it's useless to go back. Why bother with the young and strong of the same clan? I, Tuli, swear to the Ruthless God, if I don't take away all of you Treat brothers as brothers, and I, Tuli, will be punished by lightning."

Everyone was moved by it, they were born in a bad environment, they believed in God very much, and they also believed in the oath, and using the punishment of lightning to swear, that is the most vicious oath.

"The Great Khan and the Yinan Khan are right! Forget it, forget it, I, Ashina, will not leave Zhebu." Ashina Congzhe said.

In fact, for them, staying is undoubtedly the best choice. Just as Yi Nan said, it is useless to go back, and they may have to pay for the seeds in front of them.
