Chapter 0955 Murong Shun and Dayan Mang become friends
Li Shimin had a better impression of Li Shiji than Li Jing, so after hearing this, he frowned slightly and said, "Why don't you wait for Li Jing to return to the pasture of Shi Huoba Department, ask for credit for Li Shiji, and then deal with Li Shiji?"
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Do you want Li Shiji to use his merits to offset his fault?"
Li Shimin said calmly: "That would be better than just punishing without rewarding now."
Li Yuanji continued with a smile: "I just want Li Shiji to remember that he must obey my words. There is no room for negotiation, and he is not allowed to have any ideas of his own."
When Li Shimin heard this, he moved his lips and fell silent for a moment.
Since Li Yuanji deliberately wanted to teach Li Shiji a lesson, it was beyond his power to interfere.
"Since you don't have any objections, I will send someone to deliver the message."
With that said, Li Yuanji directly ordered Qu Tushou to take people to deliver a message to Li Shiji without waiting for Li Shimin's response.
After Qu Tushou left, Li Yuanji continued: "Currently, the Murongshun tribe among the two Tuyuhun tribes has decided to submit to the Tang Dynasty after receiving the surrender document from the Tang Dynasty, while the Dayan Mangjiebo tribe has decided to submit to the Tang Dynasty.
There was no response. According to Fang Xuanling and Yu Zhining, Dayan Mangjiebo was more inclined to fall to the Western Turks or the Tibetans on the high mountains.
I have ordered An Xiuren to strengthen his troops and prepare to attack Tuyuhun at any time to teach Dayan Mang Jiebao a lesson."
Murong Shun and Dayan Mangjiebo were both descendants of Fu Yun, the former Tuguhun Khan, Haobu Sabo Khan, among whom Murong Shun was the eldest son.
And they are all descendants of Murong Tuyuhun, the former leader of the Xianbei tribe.
After Fu Yun's death, Murong Shun and Dayan Mang joined forces and refused to submit to the other. They went their own ways and divided Tuyuhun into one east and one west. Therefore, today's Tuyuhun is divided into East Tuyuhun and West Tuyuhun.
Among them, the eastern Tuyuhun was commanded by Murong Shun, and the western Tuyuhun was led by Dayan Mangjiebo.
Historically, Murong Shun of Tuyuhun in the East later surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but was killed by his subordinates not long after he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Later, his son Nuo Jiebo succeeded to the throne, and was named the Prince of Heyuan County by Li Shimin, and married a daughter of the clan.
Princess Honghua was his wife, and her two sons married the lords of Jincheng County and Jinming County respectively in the Tang Dynasty. During the Longshuo period, they were invaded by Tubo and led his troops to flee to Liangzhou. The rest of the troops dispersed in Shuofang, Hedong and other places. History
It is called Tuihun.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Murong Shun would fall to the Tang Dynasty. In the struggle for power with his younger brother, he did not occupy a dominant position and did not occupy the majority of the forces in Tuyuhun, so he was destined to be suppressed by his younger brother.
beat.
And when his younger brother was close to the Eastern and Western Turks and Tubo, and actively established diplomatic relations with these three forces, the only one he could rely on and rely on was the Tang Dynasty.
It's just his younger brother, he's obviously a little distracted.
The Tang Dynasty has now pushed his father, the Turks, to the ground and beaten him. He still cannot see clearly the situation and does not submit to the Tang Dynasty. He still wants to jump back and forth between the Western Turks and Tubo, acting as a bull and horse for the Western Turks and Tubo, and following him.
If the Tang Dynasty goes against it, then it should be taught a lesson.
When Li Shimin heard this, he frowned and said: "With Liangzhou's military strength, can Dayan Mangjiebo be captured? As far as I know, Dayan Mangjiebo is ambitious and good at making friends with various forces. Not only
He was on good terms with Jieli of the Turks, and had a sworn relationship with Tong Yehu of the Western Turks, and Nangri Songtsan of Tibet.
Although Jieli has been defeated by us now, it is difficult to pose a threat to us, let alone rush to help Tuyuhun, but the Western Turks and the already strong Tubo are still powerful. If they suddenly intervene in our conquest of Dayan Mangjiebo
If we fight a war, we will most likely fail."
Li Yuanji laughed and said: "I have thought about what you said, but I think that Tong Yehu and Nangri Songtsan are both figures who can't see rabbits and don't let go of hawks. Unless Dayan Mangjiebo completely leads his troops,
Surrender to them and become their vassal, otherwise they will not send troops to help."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and asked: "How can you see it?"
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Is it true that Dayan Mangjiebo is stronger than Murong Shun?"
Li Shimin nodded without hesitation.
Although Murong Shun was the eldest son of Murong Fuyun, his prestige in the hearts of the Tyuhun people was far less than that of Dayan Mangjiebo.
It is precisely because of this that after Murong Fuyun's death, only a small number of Tyuhun tribes supported him, while the vast majority of Tyuhun tribes supported Dayan Mangjiebo.
It was because he was unwilling to kneel at his younger brother's feet that he finally split Tuyuhun.
If his strength is on par with Dayan Mang Jie Bo, or even slightly stronger than Dayan Mang Jie Bo, then why is he like this?
He could first find some excuse to win over or stabilize his younger brother, and then slowly erode his younger brother's power and eradicate his dissidents.
But he didn't do that.
That means that he is not strong enough to fight against his younger brother in a separate court, let alone use hypocrisy and subterfuge to fight for power with his younger brother. If he wants to survive, he can only split Tuyuhun, jump out of the 'battlefield' controlled by his younger brother, and go to the place where his younger brother is weak.
He and his brother were arguing about the ownership of Guhun.
"so what?"
Li Shimin questions.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Since Dayan Mangjiebo is stronger than Murong Shun and has good relations with the Turks, Western Turks and Tubo, if we can get help from the Turks, Western Turks and Tubo, we will definitely be able to defeat Murong Shun, but
Why is Murong Shun living well now?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he was stunned. After a long time, he said thoughtfully: "You are saying that Dayan Mangjiebo said that he was on good terms with the Turks, Western Turks, and Tibet, but in fact he was
You're sticking your hot cheek to someone's capable butt, but they don't care about him at all, let alone send troops to help him?"
Li Yuanji nodded and said, "Yes."
He didn't know anything else, but he was very clear about two things. Tubo was not yet unified, and Nangri Songtsan couldn't even handle his own affairs, so how could he go to help Dayan Mangjiebo?
He probably also wanted to let Dayan Mangjiebo completely lead his troops to submit to Tubo and help him clean up and unify other Tubo tribes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although the Western Turks can free up their hands to help Dayanmangjiebo, they also have enough troops to help Dayanmangjiebo.
But who is the leader of the Western Turks?
A greedy person.
If this kind of person doesn't get enough benefits, it's impossible for him to send troops to help you.
And Tie Yehu was an extremely greedy person. He didn't even spare his own people and wanted to squeeze them all. Dayan Mangjiebo couldn't satisfy his appetite at all.
It is estimated that he is currently enjoying Dayan Mangjiebo's filial piety and scolding Dayan Mangjiebo in his heart for being a bad person.
After all, Dayan Mangjiebo took the initiative to show his filial piety, but he didn't do anything after he accepted it, so he couldn't do anything to him. How could he not accept it, and how could he not call him a bad person in his heart.
Of course, there are no absolutes between countries and between forces.
If Dayan Mangjiebo was willing to give up everything and lead his troops to surrender to the Western Turks when Tuyuhun was about to die, and became Tong Yehu's dog and horse, Tong Yehu would still have a certain possibility of sending troops to help him.
The reason why Li Yuanji was so sure that Tong Yehu would not help Dayan Mang form a wave was not because Dayan Mang would not give up everything, but because Tong Yehu was about to die.
In history, there is no clear record of when exactly Tong Yehu died, but there are records of corresponding events.
That is, when the Turks Xue Yantuo, Uighur and other tribes betrayed the Turks, Tong Yehu was already dead. It was also because of this that Ashina Sheer was able to capture half of the Turks when he led his troops to pursue Xue Yantuo, Uighur and other tribes.
The Western Turks became the Dub Khan of the Western Turks.
Nowadays, although Xue Yantuo, Uighur and other tribes rebelled against the Turks early, they did not do so many years early.
Therefore, if we use the time when they rebelled against the Turks as a node to calculate, Tong Yehu should have died in these two years.
And it's very likely that it will be this year.
Because after the Tang Dynasty established diplomatic relations with the Western Turks, Tang Jian personally visited the Western Turks and met Tong Yehu, and had a certain understanding of Tong Yehu's physical condition.
This person's life can be called Li Longji of the Western Regions. His life direction is almost exactly the same as Li Longji. In the first half of his life, he was incredibly wise. He unified the Western Regions at an extremely fast speed, established the foundation of the Western Turks, and
Western Turks were twisted into one piece.
In the second half of his life, he became obsessed with the achievements of the first half of his life, began to enjoy all kinds of wealth, and also began to do all kinds of perverse things.
This also made the Western Turks only glorified for a moment in history, and soon fell apart.
Now he has gone against the grain and has been addicted to wine and sex for many years. Not only has he caused anger and resentment within the Western Turks, but his own body has also been hollowed out.
According to Tang Jian after he returned, his face had begun to turn yellow and he was like a rotten tree. He could no longer ride on horseback and had to be carried in and out.
For a prairie man, if he can no longer ride on horseback, it means he is about to die.
After all, the life of the prairie people is inseparable from horses. Some people began to make a living on horses when they were infancy.
Therefore, when the prairie people cannot control their horses, that is when they die.
And Tong Yehu was about to die, so how could he send a large army to help Dayan Mangjiebo?
He is old and has done many stupid things, but it does not mean that he has changed from the heroic master he was before to a complete idiot.
Being stupid doesn't mean being stupid.
Many foolish kings in history possess extremely high wisdom.
For example, in Jiajing, people did not go to court for decades and devoted themselves to refining elixirs and cultivating immortality, but they still played around with the government and the public.
It can be seen from this that the foolish king is just foolish, not stupid.
Since Tong Yehu was not stupid, how could he send his army out to help Dayan Mang Jiebao when he was about to die?
Isn't he afraid that the people he sends will cause trouble outside the territory and kill people inside the territory?
Isn't he afraid that people in the region will covet his throne or even launch a coup after he mobilizes his troops?
He must be afraid.
So he would never send out the army around him when he was about to die.
He must leave a huge army to protect him so that he can feel safe.
