"In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, the Dulu Khan sent troops to invade Yizhou, but was defeated by Guo Xiaoke, the protector of Anxi, and the Western Turkic subordinates secretly surrendered to Tang.Representatives of the Bow Lost Bi and the Evi Lu Division, Gullisi, sent representatives to Chang'an, requesting the deposition of the Ibirlu and the establishment of the Western Turkic Khan.Taizong sent an envoy to establish the Khan of Yibi.Yibi Shekui sent all the envoys of the Tang Dynasty who had been detained by Yibi Lulu Khan back to Chang'an.Seeing that he had betrayed his relatives, the Khan fled to Tochar. ”After a pause, An Wensheng continued: "However, this Yibi did not settle down for too long, and he later infiltrated forces in Qiuzi, Yanqi and other countries despite the opposition of the Tang Dynasty.In the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, the chief of the Kunqiu Dao march, Ashina Sheerping Qiuzi, defeated the Ebi Shoku Khan. ”Speaking of this, An Wensheng's eyes fell on Ashina Daozhen.Dao Zhen, who was listening with relish on the side, raised his head suddenly, and said with some excitement: "It's me Aye, the Western Turk Khan that I'm Aye defeated." ”"In the middle of the night, calm down."
Su Dawei couldn't cry or laugh, and stretched out his hand to hold down Ashina Daozhen, who was beaten like chicken blood."
And what about later?
Wensheng, what is going on with Ashina Helu now?
”"Ashina Helu was originally a subordinate general of the Dulu Khan, and after the Lulu Khan fled to Tocharo, Helu did not have a fixed residence, and his headquarters were scattered.The people of the three tribes of Zhishadi, Chumukun, and Pobi believed that Helu was innocent and went to ask the Khan of Yibi to shoot without attacking him.Ebi shot the Khan in anger and wanted to kill the people of Zhishadi.These three tribes led all the people to join the Tang Dynasty with Helu in thousands of accounts. ”An Wensheng thought for a while and then said: "Taizong appointed He Lu as the head of the Kunqiu Dao march, feasted and drank in the Jiashou Palace, rewarded him generously, and took off his robe and draped it on him.Later, he was promoted to General Zuo Xiaowei and Governor of Yaochi, and settled his subordinates in Mohe City, Tingzhou.However, after the death of Taizong, Ashina Helu rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and established himself as Shabaluo Khan. ”The last head of the Kunqiu Road march was Ashina Sheer.Ashina Helu was named the new head of the Kunqiu Road march by Li Shimin, which shows that Li Shimin has high hopes for him.At that time, the Western Turks were also a genus of the Tang Dynasty.The entire grassland respects Li Shimin as the Khan of Heaven.The world is all subservient to the Tang Dynasty.After the death of Taizong, Ashina Helu betrayed and became self-reliant.To some, it may seem like a resurgence of the Western Turks.But some people believe that this is actually just an internal rebel of Datang, which is an internal problem and does not have such a big impact.In any case, today's Western Turkic Shabala Khan controls tens of thousands, and still has a decisive weight.The Hexi Corridor, which could directly affect the Tang Dynasty, and the restraint policy against the countries of the Western Regions had to be removed."
Okay, it's almost time to talk, if it's time to rest, go and rest, and I'll have to go tomorrow."
Su Dawei urged.Nothing was said all night.When the sky was hazy, Su Dawei walked out of the camp tent, after a simple grooming, accompanied by Nie Su, walked around the tents of the Tang Army.In addition to the soldiers on duty, the rest of the soldiers gradually woke up.With the embers of last night's bonfire, make a new fire to cook.After breakfast, more than 500 people once again embarked on the journey to the south of Jinshan, the homeland of the Turks."
If you want to say that this Turkic people, when the military force is extremely strong, it is really remarkable, whether it is the countries of the Western Regions, or the Great Sui of the Central Plains, or Persia, they are all trembling under their iron hooves.""
But this time is different, the once powerful khanate has fallen apart, and they are no longer the main opponents of the Tang Dynasty.""
When the Turks were strong, if they had not been divided into the Eastern and Western Turks internally, and their Khan King himself would not have come to this point.""
It's funny, don't look down on Ashina Helu, he still has 100,000 people under him, not counting the servant army recruited by various ethnic groups, our Tang army in the west this time is only 50,000 people, and the cavalry only accounts for a part, and most of them are foot soldiers."
As they walked, they chattered and gossiped."
I said Ami, if you can get out of Jinshan smoothly, it will be an endless grassland, do you want to know how to go?"
Ashina Daozhen rode a horse and asked casually."
How to get there?"
Su Dawei held the rope and walked forward with the bumps on the horse's back.The terrain of this section of the road is quite flat, and you can ride a little distance to save a lot of effort."
Didn't I bring the truth to you, just to know the way?""
You say I'm an old horse?"
Hearing that Ashina really admitted that he was an old horse, An Wensheng and nearby Lou Shide, Wang Xiaojie and others couldn't help laughing.Even Nie Su, who was riding a red rouge horse behind Su Dawei, stuck out his tongue.She patted the monkey head on her shoulder, and before others noticed her, she hurriedly puffed up her chest and pretended not to care.I had a gentleman's agreement with my brother last night, and I must not expose my identity as a woman, otherwise my brother will drive him back."
I didn't say you were an old horse, but as a Turk, you are naturally very familiar with the grasslands, and you can lead us to find a place with abundant water and grass.""
Of course."
Ashina's true ears are soft, and they can't be touted.When he heard Su Dawei like this, he immediately raised his chest high, and his face showed a sharp and proud look."
By the way, I almost forgot that you were a crow's mouth."
Su Dawei suddenly remembered, his face sank, and he waved his hand to drive away.As if chasing flies, he looked disgusted at Ashina: "Phew, stay away from me, by the way, disperse the scouts a little farther away, be vigilant, thief, don't be hit by you again." ”"I ......"
Ashina's face turned red, and he wanted to argue, but when he saw Su Dawei's sharp eyes, he was immediately stunned.The wizened horseback ran away, and went straight to Zhao Hu'er to arrange the scouts.Last time, he mentioned what Bowangpo, but he was attacked by Ashina Shabi and others, where can I reason about this?
He can't shake off this crow's beak.An Wensheng's eyes turned into the distance, and after thinking about it, he said to Su Dawei, who was riding side by side: "I estimate that the day after tomorrow, I will definitely be able to go over there, and then in which direction?"
It is important to note that different tribes occupy different sources of water in the steppe. ”"Wensheng, you must have thought about it, and I will listen to your opinion when the time comes.""
Thief, you're getting smarter now."
An Wensheng looked at him with a smile and a smile.Knowing that Su Dawei knew what he knew, he shook his head and stopped mentioning it.Su Dawei is naturally clear in his heart, after all, he talked about the war before, talked about the army, and talked about the illness of Hou Huo, the champion of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and talked so much, naturally it was not in vain.Compared with the Han Dynasty, Datang now has an all-round advantage, although it is now a little dangerous to go deep behind enemy lines.But with the presence of a group of Turkic scouts like Ashina Daozhen, and An Wensheng's well-informed, it won't be too thrilling.After leaving the mountains, choose a direction first, follow the river, and carefully expand.Nothing is important.On the morning of the fourth day, more than 500 Tang troops, under the leadership of Su Dawei and Ashina Daozhen, finally walked out of the Jinshan Mountain Range.It took far more time than the last time to pursue Ashina Sabi.The reason why this is the case is that the last time I pursued on foot, this time I had to bring grain and grass and baggage.Fortunately, he went out of the mountain on this day, and he brought a total of three days of food, and if he dragged it on, he was afraid that the army would run out of food, and it would be dangerous at that time."
Ami, look."
Riding a tall Turkic horse, Ashina Daozhen stretched out the whip in his hand and pointed to the vast grassland: "What do you see in your eyes now?"
”Towards noon, the sun was shining overhead.It's rare to see the weather clear.The sky on the prairie is like a blue canvas, and it is clean and shrouded.The knee-length weeds swayed in the wind, rolling up waves and ripples from time to time."
What did I see?
It's an endless grassland, what else?
”Su Dawei said casually.But when he saw Ashina, he laughed and whipped the horse's buttocks.Stimulated by this, the war horse neighed and galloped forward with four hooves.Ashina Daozhen raised his voice on horseback: "What I see is military merit, a lot of military feats, this time I go back, I want to make Aya impress me." ”Yo ho ~ Zhao Huer and others followed Ashina Daozhen and rushed forward.The horses neighed, and the horses' hooves sounded.The scout went first, and in the blink of an eye, it was far away.Looking at their excited appearance, they don't look like Tang Army scouts who have quietly infiltrated the Western Turks, but like Turks who have returned home."
The people on horseback have a deep love for the grassland, and they are most comfortable on the grassland."
An Wensheng said.Su Dawei nodded, looked at Lou Shide on the left-hand side and said: "Organize the queue, the forward goes first, the baggage is in the middle, and Lu Juan is behind." ”"Yes."
Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.Don't look at the team of only 500 people, but after a few days of running-in, Su Dawei has already touched a few points of the Tang army's marching column.The forward, the rear of the palace, should be left with the elite to prevent the front and rear from being attacked by the enemy.The baggage team was in the middle, and the simple carriage pulled heavy armor, weapons, dry rations for the Tang army, and forage for war horses.In the event of an attack, these vehicles can also be temporarily built into a wall that can be used as fence antlers.It's a pity that the mountain road is difficult to walk, otherwise Su Dawei would not have brought such a simple car wheel, but would have to be equipped with a van.If you go back and forth like that, it's as safe as a city wall."
Brother."
Nie Su, who followed behind, rode forward and asked quietly: "I see that they are very fun to ride horses, can I also let go and run for a while?"
”"Nope."
Su Dawei's face sank: "You just follow me honestly, don't think about going anywhere without my permission." ”"Oh."
Nie Su's mouth flattened, and he responded aggrievedly.()
