After easily killing Jieli Khan and his son, Ashina Sheer quickly ascended to the throne of Khan with the support of his close tribe members and the support of Princess Yicheng.
Princess Yicheng's influence within the Turks is not important, but her right to speak is not important. She advised Shibi Khan to rescue Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and after her second husband Chuluo Khan died suddenly, Princess Yicheng
He advocated deposing his eldest son Ao Sheshe, who had grown up, so that Jieli Khan could ascend to power.
With the help of Princess Yicheng, Ashina She'er took complete control of Wuyuan County in just two days and won the unanimous support of the tribe.
Jieli Khan has really done too much in the past few years. He typically excludes tribesmen and favors foreign tribes. He also imposes heavy taxes on other tribes and uses ruthless methods. In addition, both his father and son were defeated. It's a good sweat.
The people who have been tormented by themselves have their hearts turned against them.
Princess Yicheng also started her fourth marriage, marrying her former nephew, former concubine, and current nephew Ashina Sheer.
Fifty miles east of Wuyuan County, the cousins Ashina She'er and Tuli Khan, who claimed to be Dub Khan, met again and decided on various matters for peace negotiations.
In fact, they have already negotiated the relevant matters. To a certain extent, the rumor spread by Li Shan was not wrong. Among the Ashina clan, these two young khans were the most determined to win.
, and also the most knowledgeable.
Both Dubu Khan and Tuli Khan were very aware of the threat that the Tang Dynasty, which had already unified the world, posed to the grassland, and they were even more aware of the dramatic impact of last year's defeat and this year's famine on the grassland.
"When the news reached the pass, I wonder what Li Huairen thought." Tuli Khan chuckled and said, "Don't he know how to let the tiger go back to the mountain?"
Dubu Khan's face was gloomy and he sneered: "This is the decision of the Tang Emperor, but within the palace, Li Huairen frankly admitted that he intended to send his personal guards to rob and kill him."
After a whole day of reception, Li Shan rubbed his brows tiredly, drank a sip of water and collapsed on the couch, too tired to speak.
Li Shan neither liked nor was good at this in his previous life or in this life, so he simply took sick leave and went home, preparing to hide away for a few days to be pure and quiet. Unfortunately, this wish was too extravagant.
The great-grandfather of Tuli Khan was also the first khan of the Eastern Turks. The daughter of Yehu Khan was the Princess Dayi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After the civil strife in the Eastern Turks, Dulan Khan married his mother, Princess Dayi.
At this time, the Liang divisions were still lingering on the front line of the Great Wall. Ren Gui, the commander-in-chief of the Lingzhou Road march, was working steadily and was not in a hurry for success. As long as the Liang divisions could be driven back to Shuofang and the Lingzhou defense line was reorganized, the situation would be stable.
Tuli Khan took a deep look at his cousin. He had met with him several times more than two months ago to conspire. He also secretly encouraged him to do something, and even cooperated with him in the military, but he had no idea that the other party was actually there.
Hooked up with Princess Yicheng.
And all of these officials are descendants of aristocratic families. Even if they are from poor families, they are all Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, whose fathers and ancestors have served as officials for several generations. The families of the aristocratic families are all intertwined through marriage relationships...
It was because Wen Yanbo alone had three people come to express his gratitude within one day, all of whom were in-laws of the Wen family in Taiyuan.
Already famous for defeating the Turks three times last year, coupled with this great rescue effort, Li Shan was like a firefly in the dark, and it was basically impossible to be pure.
For this reason, Li Shan had to bring Li Kai's two elder brothers and Wen Bang, who came to Beijing at the beginning of the year, to come over to help. He was originally going to ask Wang Renbiao to come over, but his father Wang Yu died of illness half a month ago.
Tuli Khan's grandfather Qimin Khan first married Princess Anyi of the Sui Dynasty, then Princess Yicheng, and then Shibi Khan who married his stepmother Princess Yicheng.
Tuli Khan couldn't help but wonder in his mind whether it was possible for him to marry the princess of Tang Dynasty.
But now Li Shan has taken sick leave, and a large number of children from aristocratic families are coming to visit him, and it's just right... The King of Handan worked so hard that he fell ill, and it was time for him to visit.
In a sense, Dubu Khan's marriage to Princess Yicheng gave him an advantage over the Tuli Khans in terms of status... After all, since the rise of the Turks, every Khan's khatun was from the Central Plains Dynasty.
Princess.
Dubu Khan was shocked, "I also personally led ten thousand cavalry, and Liang Shidu once sent strange troops to attack the Renshou Palace over a long distance... The Emperor of Tang Dynasty spent the summer there at that time, but unfortunately the success fell short, and Li Huairen came to the rescue in time."
At this time, Li Shan had already returned to Chang'an with Li Yuan, but he decisively took sick leave after only one day of work. There was no other way. Li Yuan went to Renshou Palace and brought most of the imperial team with him, and all of them survived.
I owe you a favor from Mr. Li Shan.
However, if we can't grab a wave, we really can't survive. If we continue to fight among ourselves, Tie Le's nine tribes are likely to grow in ambition... You must know that more than ten years ago, Tie Le had the experience of founding a country and becoming a sweat.
"Is it him again?" Tuli Khan gritted his teeth, "This time he must be beheaded!"
The founder of the Turkic Empire, Ili Khan Ashina Tumen proposed to Rouran to no avail, and later married Princess Changle of the Western Wei Dynasty.
"Not bad!" Dubu Khan's eyes showed a fierce look. The grudge with Li Shan was not just personal. If he could defeat the Tang army this time and then kill the King of Handan, it would definitely shock all the tribes in the grassland and the Ashina clan.
Only then can we regain our reputation.
It can be said that the identity of Khatun can, to a certain extent, become a symbol of judging the weight of a khan.
Tuli Khan certainly knew the meaning of sending troops together. He was afraid of his cousin, and the other party was also afraid of him... After Jieli Khan's death, Li Shan's rumor played a second wave, making the cousin
The brothers began to be suspicious of each other.
If Li Shan was working at Sinong Temple, many officials would just come over and say hello. After all, to enter the imperial city, one must serve in the court and must have a certain rank.
"Yesterday, Division Liang once again sent envoys to ask for reinforcements. The Tang army attacked fiercely." Dubu Khan pondered for a moment and then said: "You and I will send troops together. We must ensure that Division Liang is not expelled."
"In the past few years, my uncle has treated his people harshly, the grassland has been in chaos, and all the tribes have become disloyal. In addition, the loss of Mayi, several major defeats last year, and famine this year..." Dubu Khan said softly: "Counting the days, the Han region
The autumn harvest is over."
The two young khans, both veterans of battles, quickly reorganized their troops and sent their troops southward the next day.
Tuli Khan nodded and said: "I will personally lead Wanqi to Lingzhou."
Putting aside those thoughts, Tuli Khan nodded and said: "My uncle is hard to tolerate. Now that you and I join hands, we can defeat Li Tang."
In the battle of Tiantai Mountain, the sage Li Yuan, the King of Qin Li Shimin and a large number of courtiers were trapped and in danger. Li Shan was not the first to come to King Qin, but he was the one who successfully repelled the Liang army and rescued everyone.
Mother Zhu on the side was worried, "The warehouse really can't be stocked, so I'll have two more rooms built tomorrow."
There was no way, there were too many gifts, not in boxes but in carriages.
Li Shan took the thick gift list from Xiaoman's hand, flipped through it, and muttered a few words... After all, the people who came were from aristocratic families, not nouveau riche, and the gifts were mostly ancient books, silks, and ancient utensils.
Ornaments, jades, even chess sets, tea sets, etc.
It will be very valuable in future generations, but there is really no way to get rid of it at this time... nearly a thousand people have moved from Liyuan County this time, and a large number of houses have to be expanded. It is a time when we are short of money.
