However, Xiao Han has not learned about these things at this time.
When the news came, it was already approaching the New Year's Eve here in Yangzhou.
Xiao Han, who was busy celebrating the New Year, originally thought that this would be the best news of the year.
But he didn't expect that a few days before the new year, two letters arrived one after another, bringing him another shocking news!
There was a split within **Jue!
This news is absolutely great news for Datang!
According to clues, we learned that the tribes of Xue Yantuo, Uighur, Bayagu, and Tongluo who opposed Jieli Khan were dissatisfied with his changes in national customs and the decrees he implemented. After secret discussions, they decided to appoint Xue Yantuo as Khan!
And those small tribes such as Xi, Lin, Khitan and others looked at it: Good guy, this big Turkic brother is unreliable!
Therefore, several tribes who were just like grass on the wall simply gritted their teeth, stamped their feet, and directly led the troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and went to the city to escape the disaster safely.
Jieli Khan, who was so happy with his success, saw how he could endure such betrayal. Not to mention, those Xue Yantuo tribes established a new Great Khan behind his back. What does this mean? This is to kick him out!
Therefore, Jieli Khan was furious, and regardless of the serious white disaster outside and the lack of men and horses, he resolutely sent his younger brother, Tuli Khan, to conquer the Xue Yantuo and Uihe tribes, vowing to give these disobedient brothers some color. Look, let them know how thick he is, the Great Turkic Khan!
However, when the leader opens his mouth, the soldier breaks his leg!
Marching in heavy snow, or traveling hundreds or thousands of miles to capture cities and territories, is a taboo for military strategists. Not to mention, they are not soft persimmons who can be rubbed by others. These tribes have long been united together and become a long thorn. durian.
as expected!
By the time Tuli Khan took his men and horses and traveled a long distance to his tribe, they had already received the news and were waiting for him in peace.
The weather, the right place, the people, and the soldiers are the three ways to win, and Tuli Khan will not take advantage of them!
Needless to say, the outcome of such a war goes without saying.
After the defeat, Tuli Khan abandoned his armor and fled back to Jieli Khan in great embarrassment.
As a result, when he rushed into the king's tent, he didn't even have time to complain to his brother: how those people beat him, kicked him, and cut him!
His brother, who was the Great Khan, flew into a rage and kicked him far away, calling him a waste!
Things are often such dramas.
If it were an ordinary person, he would scold him if he was scolded by the Great Khan, and he would be beaten if he was beaten. After all, given his status, he cannot afford to offend him!
But this Tuli Khan is really no ordinary person!
This guy is already arrogant, and coupled with his narrow-mindedness, he is especially vindictive.
When he returned to his tent with a bruised nose and a swollen face, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The more he took a step back, the more he thought about it and the more he suffered!
In addition, beside him, there is a Han counselor who has been installed by the Tang Dynasty for a long time.
After a little provocation from this man, he also became hot-headed and led his troops to rebel against his brother and surrendered to Datang, who was said to give him sweets!
At this point, the Turks' strength is less than half of what it was when they were completely victorious!
If God wants man to perish, he must go crazy!
Jieli suddenly encountered a series of major changes this winter, but he himself did not regret at all to make up for it.
Tu Li's failure was also attributed to his incompetence and weather.
In this case, he would stay in the Khan's tent with peace of mind, singing and dancing every day. After spring, the cattle, sheep and horses would be fattened by water and grass, and then he would be free to deal with these disobedient brothers one by one.
Of course, although he is not ready to take action now, it is still a necessary process to beat the Tang Dynasty for harboring the traitors.
Therefore, at this year's Yuan Day Ceremony, the envoys who arrogantly pointed their noses and cursed at the subordinates were sent under his instruction.
"Slave soldiers for the first price! Earth pigs! Flies! Traitors!"
Tuli Khan's eyes turned red when he saw the Turkic envoy with his finger almost touching the tip of his nose. He came specially from the northwest and was ready to show his face in front of his new boss!
"You..." Tuli trembled and touched his waist habitually, but only found nothing.
Only then did he remember: Before entering the palace today, he had taken off the scimitar he carried with him, and now he was defenseless!
The surroundings were a little quiet, and the only thing that could be heard was that the Turkic envoy was speaking in Chinese. The Turkic language was mixed with cursing, and his behavior was extremely arrogant!
However, what was surprising was that on this day, which was of special significance to the people of the Tang Dynasty, none of the officials in the palace came out to stop them.
Even the censor, who is usually the most nosy, and the etiquette officer who attaches great importance to etiquette, stood aside and watched with interest, as if this was an extremely interesting show.
"Envoy, please be patient. There is an old saying: Everyone has his own ambitions, so don't force him! Since Tuli Khan is willing to attach himself to me, the Tang Dynasty..." Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and looked at him coldly for a long time, and then slowly spoke to mediate.
However, the envoy was either arrogant or addicted to scolding. Not only did he not stop talking when the Emperor of Tang Dynasty spoke, he also got angry and began to list the faults of Tang Dynasty!
"You, the Tang Dynasty, are not good horses! You sent troops to occupy Shuofang and Heng'an while our troops were unaware..."
Now, the officials who were watching the fun just now could no longer stand.
It's nice to see Tuli being scolded, but if he gets hit on himself, is that okay?
Therefore, some smooth-talking officials immediately jumped out to argue with him, and some generals also rolled up their sleeves and rolled up their legs, staring eagerly, as if they were preparing for a fight.
So, a good Yuan Day ceremony was turned into a mess by this Turkic envoy.
At the end, the emperor walked away angrily, and even the royal banquet, which had always been a reserved program, was also cancelled!
One by one, eat wherever you like!
The emperor was angry and the palace did not care about the food. Some ministers were stunned for a long time before they realized what was going on.
Okay, let’s go and go home for the New Year!
As the ministers left, the originally crowded hall quickly became deserted.
During this period, the envoy who made a big fuss about the Yuan Day Ceremony had been standing in the middle of the hall with his arms folded, looking around at the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty who were hurriedly leaving one by one. Seeing how they looked at him with hatred and fear, a trace of sarcasm could not help but emerge from the corner of his mouth.
really! This Tang Dynasty has long been frightened by them!
Even if their strength is weakened now, they don't dare to have any ideas. In this case, after the spring starts, they don't need to take care of them. They can deal with those younger brothers as they want!
Thinking of this, the Turkic envoy couldn't help laughing. The wild laughter echoed in the empty palace, which seemed particularly harsh!
However, he didn't know: in his eyes, Datang, who was as easy to bully as a four-legged snake, had actually secretly evolved into a giant dragon.
Two eyes without any emotion were looking at them coldly, ready to open their big mouth full of fangs at any time and swallow them in one bite as the last bit of nutrition for their dragon transformation.
