However, Xiao Han has not learned about these things at this time.
By the time the news came, it was already approaching the New Year's Eve here in Yangzhou.
Xiao Han, who was busy celebrating the New Year, originally thought that this would be the best news of the year.
But he didn't expect that a few days before the end of the new year, two letters arrived one after another, bringing him another shocking news!
There was a split within **Jue!
This news is absolutely great news for Datang!
According to clues, it was learned that Xue Yantuo, Uighur, Bayagu, and Tongluo tribes who opposed Jieli Khan were dissatisfied with his changes in national customs and the implementation of government decrees. After secret discussions, they decided to appoint Xue Yantuo as Khan!
And those small tribes such as Xi, Lin, Khitan and others took a look: Good guy, this big Turkic brother is unreliable!
Therefore, several tribes who were just like grass on the wall simply gritted their teeth, stamped their feet, and directly led the troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and went to the city to escape the disaster safely.
Jieli Khan, who was so happy for his success, saw how he could endure such betrayal. Not to mention, those Xue Yantuo tribes established a new Great Khan behind his back. What did this mean? They wanted to kick him out!
So, Jieli Khan was furious, and regardless of the serious white disaster outside and the lack of men and horses, he resolutely sent his younger brother, Tuli Khan, to conquer Xue Yantuo and return to the various tribes, vowing to give these disobedient brothers some color.
Look, let them know how thick he is, the great Turkic Khan!
However, when the leader opens his mouth, the soldier breaks his leg!
Marching in heavy snow, or traveling hundreds or thousands of miles to capture cities and territories, is a taboo for military strategists. Not to mention, they are not soft persimmons who can be rubbed by others. These tribes have long been united together and become a long thorn.
of durian.
as expected!
By the time Tuli Khan took his men and horses and traveled a long distance to his tribe, they had already received the news and were waiting for him in peace and quiet.
The three ways to win are weather, favorable geography, people, and soldiers, and Tuli Khan does not take advantage of them!
Needless to say, the outcome of such a war goes without saying.
After the defeat, Tuli Khan abandoned his armor and fled back to Jieli Khan in great embarrassment.
As a result, when he rushed into the king's tent, he didn't even have time to complain to his brother: how those people beat him, kicked him, and cut him!
His brother, who was the Great Khan, flew into a rage and kicked him far away, calling him a waste!
Things are often such dramas.
If it were an ordinary person, if he was scolded by the Great Khan, he would be scolded and beaten. After all, his status is such that he cannot afford to offend him!
But this Tuli Khan is really no ordinary person!
This guy is already arrogant, narrow-minded, and especially vindictive.
When he returned to his tent with a bruised nose and a swollen face, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The more he thought about it, the more he took a step back, the more he suffered!
In addition, beside him, there was a Han counselor who had been installed by the Tang Dynasty.
After being slightly provoked by this man, he also became hot-headed and led his troops to rebel against his brother and surrendered to Datang, who was said to give him sweets!
At this point, the Turks' strength is less than half of what it was when they were completely victorious!
If God wants man to perish, he must go crazy!
Jieli suddenly encountered a series of major changes this winter, but he did not regret at all to make up for it.
Tu Li's failure was also attributed to his incompetence and weather.
In this case, he could stay in the Khan's tent with peace of mind, singing and dancing every day, and when spring came, the cattle, sheep and horses would be fattened by water and grass, and then he would be free to deal with these disobedient brothers one by one.
Of course, although he is not ready to take action now, it is still a necessary process to beat the Tang Dynasty for harboring the traitors.
Therefore, at this year's Yuan Day Ceremony, the envoys who arrogantly pointed at and cursed the subordinates were sent under his instruction.
"The first price is the slave soldier! The earth pig! The gnat! The traitor!"
Looking at the Turkic envoy with his finger almost touching the tip of his nose, the eyes of Tuli Khan, who came specially from the northwest to show his face in front of his new employer, turned red!
"You..." Tuli trembled and touched his waist habitually, but only found nothing.
Only then did he remember: Before entering the palace today, he had taken off the scimitar he carried with him, and now he was defenseless!
The surroundings were a little quiet, and the only thing that could be heard was that the Turkic envoy was speaking in Chinese, and the Turkic language was mixed with cursing, and his behavior was extremely arrogant!
However, what was surprising was that on this day, which was of special significance to the people of the Tang Dynasty, none of the officials in the palace came out to stop them.
Even the censor, who is usually the most nosy, and the etiquette officer who attaches great importance to etiquette, stood aside and watched with great interest, as if this was an extremely interesting show.
"Messenger, please be patient. There is an old saying: Everyone has his own ambitions, so don't force it! Since Tuli Khan is willing to attach himself to me, the Tang Dynasty..." Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and looked at him coldly for a while, and then slowly opened his mouth to mediate.
However, the envoy was either arrogant or addicted to scolding. When the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty spoke, he not only refused to shut up, but also got angry and began to enumerate the faults of the Tang Dynasty!
"You, the Tang Dynasty, are not good horses! You took advantage of our unpreparedness and sent troops to occupy Shuofang and Heng'an..."
Now, the officials who were watching the excitement just now could no longer stand.
It's nice to see Tuli being scolded, but if he gets hit on himself, is that okay?
Therefore, some bluffing officials immediately jumped out to argue with him, and some military generals rolled up their sleeves and rolled their legs, staring at him eagerly, as if they were preparing for a fight.
So, a good Yuan Day ceremony was turned into a mess by this Turkic envoy.
At the end, the emperor walked away angrily, and even the royal banquet, which had always been a reserved program, was cancelled!
One by one, eat wherever you like!
The emperor was angry and left, and the palace did not care about the food. Some ministers were stunned for a long time before they came to their senses.
Okay, let’s go and go home to celebrate the New Year!
As the ministers left, the originally crowded hall quickly became deserted.
During this period, the envoy who made a big fuss about the Yuan Day Ceremony had been standing in the middle of the hall with his arms folded, looking around at the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty who were hurriedly leaving one by one. Seeing how they looked at him with hatred and fear, he couldn't help but feel a trace of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough! This Tang Dynasty has long been frightened by them!
Even if their strength is weakened now, they don't dare to have any ideas. In this case, after the spring starts, they don't need to take care of them, and they can deal with those younger brothers how they want!
Thinking of this, the Turkic envoy couldn't help laughing, and the wild laughter echoed in the empty palace, which seemed particularly harsh!
However, he didn't know: in his eyes, Datang, who was as easy to bully as a four-legged snake, had actually secretly evolved into a giant dragon.
Two eyes without any emotion were looking at them coldly, ready to open their big mouths full of fangs at any time and swallow them whole as the last bit of nutrition for their transformation into dragons.
