The third chapter is sent, begging for subscription In Dingxiang, which is 1,200 miles away from Ningyuan City.
Dingxiang Dali City is located in the south of Yinshan Mountain, north of the Yellow River, between the Purple River and the Golden River, in the west of Datong, and in the south of Yinshan Baidao.
In the nineteenth year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui, the Tuli Khan was defeated by Dulan Khan and Datou Khan, defected to the Sui Dynasty, and was named the Qimin Khan of Yili Zhendou, built a large city for the Qimin Khan to live in Shuozhou, and married Princess Yicheng to Qimin.
After that, he built Jinhe City to Qimin in the west of Dali City, and let Qimin Khan graze livestock between Xiazhou and Shengzhou, and dug a long trench from east to west at a distance of 400 miles south of the Yellow River in the Hetao area, and connected it with the Yellow River at both ends, and used the river and the trench as a fortification to protect the Khan of Qimin.
After the defeat of the head, the Khan of Qimin went north, and the Hetao area north of the Yellow River and south of Yinshan was included as a nomadic land, and the Khan's court was moved to Dingxiang Dali City.
Dali City is located on the eastern edge of the Hedong Qiantao Plain, surrounded by mountains and lakes, with charming scenery.
The east and west sides of the city are mountains, and the traffic here is convenient, whether it is west to the back, or to the north to the white road, or to the south to Shuozhou, it is very convenient.
When the Sui army helped Qimin build this city, they fully considered the problem of defense, and did not build the city directly on the flat grassland, but chose this place with mountains and lakes.
Since the beginning of the Khan, the Turks have had four great khans living here.
A small city at that time, more than 20 years later, has been expanded several times, and it is very majestic.
Outside such a fortress, a fortified city stands very staggeringly.
Around the city of Dali were many tents, which were the people of Jieli and his guards.
In the center of the city, there is not a palace, but a huge tent.
The tent in the middle, which can accommodate a thousand people, is more like a palace than a tent.
When Yang Guang inspected the outside of the Saiwai, he once built a huge wheel palace and a moving palace.
That extravagance deeply shocked the Turkic Qimin Khan and others at that time, and Jieli was just a teenager at that time, but he was also shocked.
Living in such a tent is not necessarily more comfortable than a house, but Jieli just likes tents and likes this big tent that can accommodate thousands of people.
Every leader of the steppe tribe who came to see him would be deeply shocked.
Since ignoring the cost of labor, the materials used in this tent alone are worth more than a thousand gold, in fact, this tent can hardly be disassembled and moved, which is too troublesome.
But the fine cowhide used in this tent, and the gold inlaid with jade, make this golden horde extremely luxurious.
Even the ropes that pull the tents are mixed with gold wires.
The golden horde is embroidered with gold thread with many golden wolves, which is the symbol of the Great Khan.
In the golden wolf tent, Jieli sat upright.
He wore a splendid robe, the most precious mink, and on his thick fingers were many rings, which were set with gems as large as pigeon's eggs.
He was very stout, with eagle-like eyes and a red face.
His hair was knotted with many haircuts, each of which was tied with precious stones, and his beard was not deliberately trimmed, it grew haphazardly and was very rough.
The Golden Tent was too large to hold a thousand people.
There are beds and tables etc inside.
Jieli sat there, with a brazier burning in the tent, a lamb on it, and several young Turkic women roasting it.
On the table in front of him was a large sheepskin map, made of several sheets of wool, and the contents were rich.
From Mobei in the north, to the Great Wall in the south, and to Jinshan in the west, this vast area is the territory of the Eastern 0 Turkic Khanate.
To the west of this region is the Western Turks.
To the south is Tang and to the east is Goguryeo.
The world is divided between four families.
As for the other Tuyuhun and Tubo, Jieli didn't pay attention to them.
The map is very detailed, with various cities, mountains, rivers, and passes.
It also marks various tribes, such as the Tiele tribes in Mobei, Xue Yantuo, the Khibi tribe, the Tongluo, and the servants, as well as the Khitan, Kumoxi, and Murowei in the east.
In addition, outside the Great Wall, there were originally Gao Kaidao, Yuan Junzhang, Liang Shidu, etc.
But now, Gao Kaidao is dead, and Liang Shidu is also dead.
Within the Great Wall, there are no more Eastern Turkic forces.
Especially Liang Shidu, the Shuofang he occupied was brought down by the Turks with the help of all the time.
Not only occupied the Xitao Plain, but even knocked down Yansui and occupied a large part of the territory in the Great Wall of Guanzhong, and it was the same in Yanxialing Prefecture.
With the Liang division here, the Turks can come to Chang'an at any time.
Although Jieli didn't do this, it was enough for Li Tang to honestly hand over the tribute on time.
But now, Gao Kaidao, which was originally in Jizhou within the Great Wall, has been defeated, and the Liang divisions who occupied Shuofang have also died.

At this time, there was a sound of an announcement outside, and after receiving permission, one of the detachments walked in.
Attached was the Wolf Guard, the Praetorian Guard of the Turkic Great Khan.
He handed over a stack of military intelligence to a Turkic woman.
The woman inspected and opened the package, and then handed it over to Jieli.
There was a lot of information, several pieces of information from different places, and it took Jie a long time to read them all.
None of this is good news.
"The Tang Dynasty and the Western Turkic Khan were in harmony with Ye Hu, and they married the son of the princess and Tong Ye Hu, and the Western Turks then sent troops to the border of Jinshan."
"Tang Longyou, Hexi soldiers and horses have moved, as if they are assembling, and they are suspected of having soldiers."
"Li Jing in Hedong, soldiers and horses gather in Yanmen."
"Li Shiji, Hebei, also gathered troops and horses in Youzhou, and increased the army to pass" "Xue Yantuo has close contacts with the Khambi Ministry, and it seems that he is plotting."
"The little Khan of Tuli and the Khitan, Kumoxi, Xia, and Murowei tribes have made changes."
"Shuofang Li Chao, led 50,000 soldiers and horses out of Lingwu, according to Wubao."
"Ashina Simo still did not send troops south, and took the initiative to abandon Wubao, and is still stationed in the southern part of Fengzhou."
Jieli frowned and snorted coldly, "It's too anxious to rebel against Tuli." ” "Tong Ye Hu is not good to fight his Persia, what is it to run to mix" Jieli stood up from behind the table and looked at the map.
The commander of the Western Regions, Ye Hu, made peace with Li Tang and transferred troops to the Jinshan line on the border of the Eastern and Western Turks, whether he really wanted to collude with the Tang Dynasty to make a comeback, or just to make a show "The Tiele tribes in Mobei are restless again."
The Tiele tribes in Mobei are extremely powerful, and they are not even weaker than the Turks.
It's just that the Turks quickly defeated the Rouran people and became the overlords of the steppe, but the Tiele people were still just a plate of scattered sand.
There are many tribes and a large population of Tiele, from west to east, there are their tribes everywhere, but these people, although they have also established the Gaoche Khanate, have never really become powerful.
At that time, Tiele had subdued the Western Turks, but after Jieli's brother Shibi Khan became the first overlord of the steppe, the Tiele people turned to subjugate the Eastern Turks.
After these years of calm, the Western Turks became stronger and stronger under the leadership of the two generations of the Khan of Sheku and the Khan of Tongyehu.
In recent years, the Western Turks have no longer gone east, and are bent on using troops to the west, but the Eastern and Western Turks are not guilty of river water, and the two families are no longer fighting among themselves, and their strength is very strong.
Could it be that the Tiele tribes had secret contacts with the Western Turks, and were preparing to rebel again Jieli has not forgotten the grassland of his youth.
At that time, the Turkic civil strife had been fought for many years.
How many khans are dominant, you conquer me, and the Sui Dynasty is behind the strong and weak, sitting and watching the tiger fight, and picking up how many cheap.
The powerful Turks, however, were infighting, which caused the khans to ask for support from the Sui ministers.
At that time, the Western Turks were originally just a small khan of the Turkic Khanate.
Later, the strength gradually increased, and the tail could not be lost.
Later, when the Eastern Turks came to internal strife due to the succession to the Khan's throne, the Western Turks took advantage of the situation to stand on their own, not only did not recognize the position of the Turkic suzerain, but even wanted to seize the suzerain.
After so many years of fighting, it has only been quiet for a few years.
If the Western Turks really intend to make a comeback, then this is a life-and-death battle, which is much more important than what Shuofang and what Hedong Hebei can be.
The Tiele tribes have swayed from side to side over the years, which is disgusting, but their strength has always been very strong, and if the Tiele tribes are united, they can gather a powerful force of 200,000 horsemen at any time.
The Eastern Turks, after experiencing the fiasco of his father Qimin Khan, attached to the Sui, recuperated for many years, and recovered and developed when his brother Shibi Khan, and was strong in the east, and then everywhere and then to him, the strength was still strong, but the Western Turks also recuperated.
If the east and west sides start fighting again, it is really difficult to say who will win and who will lose.
Especially there is a Li Tang in the south, and Goguryeo in the east, which may take the opportunity to stab him, and the tribes of Mobei have always been very unruly.
Especially his nephew, Tuli Little Khan, has always been a little unconvinced that he has become a great sweater.
After silently calculating for a while, Jieli tapped his fingers on the map.
If you go outside, you must first settle inside.
If we want to keep the current situation, it seems that we have to make trade-offs.
First of all, you have to make the Turks obedient, and then control the Tiele tribes, so that the internal stability can compete with the Western Turks.
As for the Central Plains.
Jieli frowned.
Although I am a little unwilling, I don't have time to pay attention to the Central Plains for the time being, so I will first protect my teeth with Tongye and stabilize this side of the grassland.
As for Zhongyuan and Li Tang, Jieli felt that it would not be too late to settle accounts with them when the matter here was dealt with.
Although the Tang army's troop and horse movements on the front lines of Hexi, Longyou, Shuofang, Guannei, Hedong, and Hebei were menacing, Jieli did not think that the Tang army really dared to cross the line.
They destroyed Liang Shidu and captured Shuofang, which is already the bottom line.

He didn't send troops south, Li Shimin should be grateful to Dade, and they dared to go north to the Hetao again Jieli shook his head, Tang Jun didn't dare, definitely didn't dare.
Even if he wants to concentrate on the grassland now, it is not something that Li Tang can provoke.
They destroyed Liang Shidu and occupied Shuofang, so that's fine, and they don't have time to clean them up for the time being.
But if they dare to go north to the Hetao, it will touch his bottom line.
"This Ashnasmo, hum."
Jieli sneered, and tapped his fingers a few times in the position of Toyosu.
"Ordered the arrow to lose his thinking power, and let him go to Fengzhou to replace Ashina Simo."
After a pause, he added, "Let Ashnasimo come back." t1706231537:
