Chapter 361
What he couldn't understand was how Du Lan joined forces with Da Tou. In terms of seniority, Da Tou is the son of the younger brother of the Tumen Khan, and Du Lan is the great-grandson of the Tumen Khan. Du Lan wants to call Da Tou to follow his grandfather. But since Abo and Da Tou split the Western Turks, the East and West tribes have been fighting for more than ten years, and it has been a bloody hatred. Why can they join forces now? And after they join forces, they are not going to attack the Sui Dynasty, but instead have to swing their swords with their own tribe first?
All this has not been clarified, it is all a question.
Since Sha Boluo was defeated and surrendered to the Sui Dynasty, he moved Khanting to Baidaochuan, where the water and grass are abundant, the climate is gentle, and it is suitable for agriculture and herds. It is because of this that the Eastern Turks recovered in less than a few years. However, the northern Turks led by Tuli were in the north of the sand sea, the northern desert area, which was colder and more difficult. Therefore, although the area is wide, its strength is not strong, and there are Tiel tribes here, and these Tiel people are the real landlords in the north. But now, Du Lan led his troops from north to south, and Datou led his troops from west to east, like a flood of water and beasts, pounced over.
All kinds of news and rumors are like flying locusts and flies.
Some people say that this war was because Tuli Khan married Princess Anyi of the Sui Dynasty who should have married Du Lan Khan. Du Lan vowed to steal Princess Anyi. As long as Du Lan got the princess, he would naturally retreat.
Some said that this was because last year, Dulan Khan led his troops to plunder the border of the Sui Dynasty, but Tuli Khan secretly informed the Sui Dynasty, which caused Dulan Khan not only not to grab the spoils, but also touched the wall several times and ate several ambushings. Now he is here to take revenge.
Some people said that it was actually Datou Khan who led his troops to attack the east to avenge the eastern expedition, while Dulan Khan sent troops to rescue Tuli Khan, who was friends, not enemies.
Some people even say that after hearing the shaman wizard, this is the will of immortality. A new divine punishment emerged on the grassland. He eventually destroyed the Turks and conquered the Turks. For the future of the Turks, the East and West Turks must give up their old grudges, unite again, and fight against the divine punishment. The divine punishment is in the newly established Han castles on the southern edge of the eastern grassland.
.........
After all, Tuli Khan had followed his father to fight in the east and west. With years of military experience, he judged that this time would not be just a local conflict, nor would it be to snatch cattle, sheep, horses. It is very likely that Datou and Dulan have joined forces, and they are going to kill themselves. Dulan has betrayed the Sui Dynasty, and Datou Khan has been suppressed by the Sui Dynasty for many years. These two people united and did not deal with the Sui Dynasty first, but came to him first. It was obvious that he had known that he and the Sui Dynasty were standing together, so he had to clean up the rear first.
Tuli Khan Ashina Rangan was a Turkic nobleman who had learned Han culture. When he was young, his uncle Sha Boluo surrendered to the Sui Dynasty and sent his son to study. Although he had never been to Chang'an with him, he also learned about another world from the Han books and saw many different ideas. After seeing the civilization and development of the Han people in the books, he became more and more worried about the existing institutional traditions of the Turks. The Turkic tribes often had constant disputes and often struggled.
Water and land compete for grasslands and fight each other, and when they go back and forth, with plagues, snow disasters, droughts, etc., the grasslands that often wither and the people's accumulation has sharply decreased. Especially the Khan inheritance system of the Turks and the tribal feudal system are even more full of hidden dangers. The Turks were powerful, but their strength was all consumed in internal struggle. He hoped to learn from the Han people, just like the Xianbei people who grew stronger from the grasslands and deserts in history, they finally unified the north, ruled the entire north of the Central Plains, and even ruled the civilized and rich Han people.
He believed that to do this, he had to learn from the Han people. Unfortunately, his fellow tribes obviously had different ideas from him. They only knew how to ride horses, chop and kill, and plunder.
When this unexpected war came, he immediately summoned the nobles in the Khan Court. At present, his garrison was only a thousand cavalry. Faced with the sudden attack from the enemy, the most important thing at the moment was to quickly gather troops and gather the commanding tribe herders to gather together. Therefore,,,,,.
Rangan's five sons were all very strong, brave and brave young men. They had already proved themselves with the enemy's heads on the battlefield, especially the boss Duoji, who was deeply trusted and satisfied with Rangan.
Anashiduji had his own ideas about his father's arrangements. He went forward to perform a curtsy, then stood up and said to Rangan: "Khan, I think the current situation is that Datou and Dulan are coming in a fierce manner. Even if we gather all the troops now, we will not have time to assemble and will be defeated by them. I think it is urgent that we cannot just consider fighting alone. We should first tell the Sui Dynasty in the south and let them send troops to rescue them."
"Far away water can't quench near thirst!" Asana Rangan sighed. He calculated left and right, but he did not count that Du Lan will join forces with the feud of the eastern region for more than ten years to attack Da Tou. If only Du Lan, although Rangan's strength is not as strong as him, as long as the Sui Dynasty took the opportunity to send troops, he would not be afraid of Du Lan at all.
Asuna Duoji was the eldest son of the Gan. He was twenty-six or seven years old at this time. He was only of medium figure, but his muscles were bulging and extremely strong. His deep eyes showed wisdom and wisdom. The fine and curly beard on his temples added a bit of maturity and sophistication to him. His face and body were like a knife and axe chopped, with clear outlines. Under the bronze skin, there was a kind of strength and will. He stood there with agility and uprightness, bravery and bravery.
Yudujin Mountain is north of the desert, separated from Dulan's Mo Nan Khan Court, and from the Turks in Datou's western Turks, and also from the backstage of Dulan, the Sui Dynasty, is actually far apart, especially the southern Mo Nan forces. Now that Dulan and Datou are fighting, Tuli will be immediately packed with dumplings.
"The Sui army in the south cannot escape our siege, but we don't have to wait here. We don't have to fight with Datou and Dulan here at all. We can avoid their edge for the time being. Datou comes from the west and Dulan comes from the south, but we can retreat east. On the one hand, we can also gather troops from the east, and then go east." Duji made his own suggestions to his father.
"Xiangdong?" Tuli held his arms and looked thoughtful. "Xiangdong is the territory of the Tielite tribes. These people are afraid that they are not united with us."
There are many Tiel tribes, both in the eastern and western Turkic territory. In fact, the population of Tiel tribes is far better than that of the Turkic Ashina tribes, but Tiel has always been scattered. Therefore, although there are many tribes, there is no leader. When the Huns are strong, Tiel is the commander of the Huns, when the Xianbei is strong, and when the Rouran is strong, it is the commander of the Rouran. It was the Turks who defeated Tiel at the beginning. By combining Tiel's power, they were able to defeat Rouran and become the overlord of the grassland. Although Tiel had established several small khanates in history, they were not able to last long. Rangan was the Tuli Khan and had always managed these Tiel tribes. However, although these Tiel tribes were under his command, in fact, the major Tiel tribes were in charge of themselves. In addition to being able to collect some taxes, he could not take care of them too much.
Now that Du Lan is coming to attack him, I am afraid that no one is willing to follow him to fight against the union of Du Lan and Datou.
"We don't go to the Tiel people's territory, we keep going east!" Duji said.
"Always go east? That's the territory of the Khitan, Xi and Wu tribes."
"That's right, my father also knew that these three tribes are now attached to the Sui Dynasty. As long as we reach the three tribes, we will find a helping hand."
"But Sanfan is just a small tribe, and they can't even defeat Tiel, let alone the coalition forces of Tatou and Dulan." Rangan hesitated.
"Father, Sanfan is indeed not strong, but my father is afraid that he still doesn't know that these Sanfans have not only attached to the Sui Dynasty, but have also been officially classified as prefectures and counties by the Sui Dynasty and are listed as territory."
"What, when is this news? Why don't I know at all?" Rangan was surprised.
Duji said: "Father, this is also what I just found out from the caravan. According to the news I received, the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty established a new Grand General Administration in the quiet areas south of the Xi tribe. Sanfan now has all the jurisdiction of it. The general manager of this newly established Grand General Administration is the eldest grandson of the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty who personally left the town."
"This is serious?"
"There will never be a false one. Father, we retreat directly to the east. As long as we enter the territory of the three clans, it is equivalent to entering the Sui territory. Even if Datou and Du Lan dare to chase them, we don't have to be afraid of them anymore."
Rangan saw that his son's words were reasonable and well-founded, and he was very satisfied with his son's ability. He began to fight with him at the age of sixteen. In the past ten years, he has been fighting with more than a hundred enemies and has also been one of the best warriors among the soldiers on the Mobei grassland. This son is not only extremely brave in the battle, but also very alert and good at using his brain. At that moment, he secretly praised in his heart and said, "If I ask you to lead your troops to advance eastward, how many troops do you need?"
"It's enough to just need a hundred guards. My father doesn't need to send more people. I will summon troops along the way to open the way for my father."
"Very good, you can open the way first, and I will lead the troops to follow. Remember, if it is not necessary, don't have conflicts with the Tiel tribe. As long as they are willing to let us go, it is enough without obstruction, and they don't need to send troops to follow."
"I understand." After saying that, Duji immediately turned around and left the tent. In less than half an hour, he had already summoned a hundred subordinates, including the wolf guards, and whistled together.r1152
