What Ashina Luoheng saw was his close bodyguard, one of his bravest grandchildren, looking straight at the crown in his hand. △￠
The fat Turkic Uncle Wang blinked his small eyes and laughed.
He raised the crown in his hand and said, "Ganzan, my child, do you like it? Come and put it on for me to see. You will definitely be very powerful wearing it."
Ashina Ganzan finally looked away. He, who could subdue a galloping wild horse on the grassland, took a step back, lowered his head and patted his chest in fear.
He quickly explained to his cold and suspicious grandfather, "If Ganzan is not mistaken, the crown you are holding should come from Gaochang Kingdom in the far west."
Seeing that the smile on Ashina Luoheng's face finally faded away, Ganzan breathed a sigh of relief. In this tent, blood is the most unreliable thing. The descendants of Ashina who don't understand this are all alive.
Not long.
"Brave Ganzan, you also have a pair of sharp eyes. You read it right. This is the crown that King Gaochang once wore. Haha, their crowns are always so unique. Of course, who made them
Where are the descendants of the Han people?”
Ganzan came closer, "Ganzan's eyes can never be as far-sighted as yours, and his knowledge is far less profound than yours. The reason why Ganzan can recognize the origin of this crown... is because of me.
It seems that I have seen it before..."
"Okay Ganzan, hurry up and get some wine and meat, and drink more wine with me who is old. I am not confused yet. I know what you want to say, yes. No matter how shabby the crown is, it will not be worn on our heads."
Come on. You can take it to the Khan tomorrow, and maybe you can get some rewards. Oh, what a good thing... What a pity."
Gan Zan shook his head repeatedly, "That's not what Gan Zan meant. Gan Zan remembers this crown very clearly. It was a gift from Jieli Khan to the Chiliu'an tribe because he married the brightest pearl on the grassland. This crown
It is his most precious trophy..."
"I once escorted it to the Red Liu'an Department, and saw with my own eyes that the prairie elf pried off the largest gemstone on the crown, made it into a forehead ring and wore it on her head to show that she was forever connected by blood with the Red Liu'an Department...
…”
Ashina Luoheng stood up in surprise, "Are you talking about Haizhu'er?"
After getting the affirmative answer, the fat man finally couldn't sit still, and the crown became a very hot thing.
Haizhu'er was the most beautiful flower on the Mobei grassland back then. His mother was a noble princess and the sister of Qimin Khan. His father was the most handsome man in the Chiliu'an tribe.
When Haizhu'er reaches adulthood, the number of suitors to her can reach the Tula River all the way to the mountains in the east.
Thinking of that elf-like woman, Ashina Luoheng couldn't help but be intoxicated. She was the darling of the gods, the incarnation of the she-wolf Ashina in the human world.
In the end, the young and brave Ashina Dubi won and married her.
More than ten years have passed. Qimin Khan has died, and Ashina Dubi has become Jieli Khan, controlling numerous tribes in the west.
Unfortunately, that woman did not enjoy much glory and returned to the kingdom of gods early.
It is said that Jieli Khan was very sad and buried her under the sacred mountain. Therefore, Jieli Khan's sweat account never left the foot of the sacred mountain.
Ashina Luoheng thought about these sad and beautiful legends, but felt frightened.
The Chiliu'an tribe was attacked by the enemy and disappeared on the grassland. This was nothing. Jieli Khan might be angry, but as long as Shibi Khan was still there, he would not dare to raise troops for revenge. Moreover, for a Chibi Khan
The Lu'an Department is not worthy of what he did.
However, when something closely related to that woman appeared in the sweat account, he didn't know whether his nephew, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, would go crazy. That was a difficult person to guess.
If it were the young Ashina Dubi back then, he would probably rush to the sweat tent and personally cut off the head of his uncle and the hands of all the royal family members who had touched the crown.
Now, Ashina Dubi, who holds huge power, will only be more terrifying than before.
So, this fat man who was afraid of his nephews raised his hand and threw the crown to his grandson, "Look carefully. If you admit that you are wrong, maybe someone will cut off your flesh and feed it to you piece by piece without me coming."
To the vultures.”
Gan Zan's body trembled obviously, he looked at it carefully, nodded affirmatively and said: "It's not wrong, look here, there is a heavy scratch, I remember clearly, it was made by her with a dagger
Down."
His fat grandfather sighed, "Okay, take your people and kill all those Sui people. Don't disturb others. Tomorrow, you select some loyal people and send the crown to Jieli Khan."
"Don't talk too much. If Jieli Khan asks about it, just say it was a gift from the Sui people. We just recognized his origin and it has nothing to do with us."
Ganzan left, and Ashina Luoheng walked around in circles, thinking for a long time.
In the end, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He didn't know what the Sui people were thinking, and they dared to send back the things they plundered from the Turkic tribes as gifts.
Are the Sui people too poor, or do they think that all Turkic people are blind?
This joke was a bit too big, and it almost made him, Ashina Luoheng, a big joke, so the Sui people had to pay the price.
Killing the envoy is a matter of course. That Mayi County Lieutenant Liu Wuzhou should also be punished...
He guessed right, Liu Wuzhou was indeed a bit poor, otherwise, he would not have brought the things Li Po gave him to the Turks, because this was the only thing he felt he could get rid of.
So, he changed hands and returned the stolen goods to the owner. This was considered to be a solid plot by Li Po.
Of course, Liu Wuzhou would never have imagined that sending people north this time not only failed to please the Turks, but also offended them to death.
At the same time, in the slave market of Dali City, a strong Sui boy and a Turkic man were fighting over a female slave. Their followers surrounded them and looked at each other angrily, but they did not get into a melee.
Because this Sui boy and the Turkic noble both had their own pride, they wanted to rely on their own abilities to knock each other to the ground and give them a good beating.
Although this guy got into a fight, he had much better luck than Liu Wuzhou and his ilk.
…………………………
In the winter of the twelfth year of Daye, the Great Sui Dynasty had fully entered an era of competition between great powers. The situation in the world was gradually becoming clearer and no longer so chaotic.
In southern Hebei and the whole of Shandong, Dou Jiande has become the dominant family. What is a bit ridiculous is that Yang Yichen, the eunuch's servant, has cleared the last obstacles for Dou Jiande to become the king of Hebei.
In the northern part of Hebei, on the border of Youzhou, there are still some Sui armies entrenched, but the internal situation of the Sui army is similar to Mayi, a small place, and it looks like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In Henan, the Wagang Army led by Zhai Rang and Li Mi finally defeated Zhang Xutuo and began to advance towards Luoyang.
What is worth mentioning is Zhang Xutuo.
Maybe it was his years of fighting bandits that made him tired. The more bandits he suppressed, the more bones he saw exposed in the wild, and the sight of no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, which made him feel discouraged. Of course, it might also be that he was too proud. Unable to bear a failure.
Anyway, at the beginning of the winter of the twelfth year of Daye, Zhang Xutuo, who had a chance to escape, died in battle while serving as Tongshou in Xingyang. His death was full of tragic heroism.
Well, there is no need to say more about this person's merits and demerits, nor to give him too high a rating. In fact, he is just a burial object of the Sui Dynasty when the sun sets in the west. Otherwise, with Li Mi and Zhai Rang, Liu, how can you kill him?
Zhang Xutuo died, and the gates of Dongjun were wide open. After defeating Zhang Xutuo, the Wagang army experienced a violent expansion. Li Mi made good use of his identity as Pu Shanggong and subdued some of Zhang Xutuo's subordinates. .
At this time, the Wagang Army, which should have quickly marched into Luoyang and occupied Dacang in Luokou, failed to escape the fate of the rebels and started fighting among themselves.
This gave Wang Shichong plenty of time to go north to rescue Luoyang in response to the orders of the officials in the Eastern Capital.
As a result, Henan was dominated by one family and quickly turned into a competition between two heroes. Li Mi, who had given Yang Xuangan three strategies, neither went north to Hebei nor west to Guanxi. Like Yang Xuangan, he Luoyang City was at loggerheads with Wang Shichong.
The situation between Huaihe and Huaihe is still a bit chaotic, but the situation is almost clear.
To the east is Pu Gongtuo and Du Fuwei, to the west is the man-eating demon king Zhu Can. Pu Gongtuo and Du Fuwei are quite satisfactory. Needless to say, Zhu Can's side is the land of Jingxiang, which will be prosperous. , the red land is thousands of miles away, and there is no one inhabited.
In the south of the Yangtze River, Lin Shihong's family was the only one. At the end of the twelfth year of Daye, he proclaimed himself emperor in Yuzhang, named his country Chu, and established peace in the Yuan Dynasty.
In the southern part of Jin, Li Yuan, who stayed in Taiyuan, reached reconciliation with the Wang family of Jinyang again with the help of the Pei family of Jin's powerful family, and his power grew rapidly. Fortunately, during the entire twelve years of the great cause, there was no movement from the Turks. This allowed Li Yuan to calmly quell the rebellion in the south without having to deal with the threat from the north.
When Li Yuan, who was left behind in Taiyuan, settled down, the counties in the northern part of Jin Dynasty felt sad. Once they did not get the support of Jinyang, judging from the situation in the northern part of Jin Dynasty, they would all become rootless ducks.
The northern part of Jin Dynasty gradually began to become chaotic. Refugees from Mayi, Yanmen, and Loufan counties fled south one after another. Jinyang refused to refuse anyone who came, which intensified the population loss in the north.
Li Yuan, Taiyuan's stay-at-home officer in Jinyang, thought proudly that the northern counties would not be able to support him for long. They would either bow their heads or lose their weight. There would be no other choice.
