One hundred and seventy-first chapter life and death (1)

In history, people often don’t understand why Jie Li Khan wanted to donate the golden sword symbolizing the identity of the prince-consort to Liu Shan. It is logical that the army on the grassland was newly defeated, and the grassland and the Tang Dynasty had a deep hatred. It was better not to meet again without fighting again. How could there be any saying that a daughter would marry?

Perhaps, several historians in later generations who specialize in the history of the early Tang Dynasty would give some reference answers.

In a book called "The Turks in the Early Tang Dynasty", the author said that the Turks happened in the early years of Wude in the Tang Dynasty and the Li Ling incident during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. Both Khan on the grassland were defeated by the generals of the Han nationality, and then betrothed his daughter to the generals of the Han nationality.

In the book, the author even called Li Ling and Liu Shan the Double Walls of Han.

Looking at the history of the two generals, it was exactly what the author wrote that it caused the grassland people to suffer a deep pain. Li Ling led his troops to less than tens of thousands of people, traversing the Xiongnu grasslands and fighting with more than 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry. With strong bows and crossbows, he fought the pursuit of Xiongnu cavalry all the way, and his reputation spread throughout the grassland. Finally, because he retreated to the border of the Han Dynasty, the border guards were not allowed to retreat to the pass. Moreover, the Han Dynasty was unwilling to give Li Ling any assistance, and finally he was defeated and captured. Although Li Ling was captured, even if the Huns Chanyu saw Li Ling, he still met Li Ling's reputation. Even the wild tribes on the grassland were captured by the general's heavenly power.

Of course, the reason why Li Ling surrendered to the Xiongnu was because Emperor Wu of Han later angrily killed Li Ling's family. Li Ling took the daughter of Shanyu and became the son-in-law on the grassland.

Although Liu Shan is different from Li Ling in details, he defeated the grassland cavalry in general. There was nothing incomprehensible to give Liu Shan the golden sword.

However, another historian wrote in a book called "Secret History of Grassland" that in the power institutions on the grassland, Princess Yicheng, who came to the grassland from the Great Sui Dynasty to devote her life to the great cause of peace in the northern border of the grassland, did not hesitate to marry the four Khans of the Turks one after another. After the demise of the Sui Dynasty, Princess Yicheng regarded Li Tang as a shameless rebellion and was even more unlikely to return to her hometown. However, when dealing with her daughter, she still hoped that her daughter could return to the hometown where she came from. Liu Shan's arrival seemed to be a good opportunity.

Some people support this statement. When Jie Li Khan ascended the throne, he relied on Princess Yicheng's support. Princess Yicheng's status in the royal court was definitely not simple. Moreover, Princess Yicheng had saved Yang Guang, the wife of the fourth-generation Grassland Khan, before, before, and his status was not as lowly as some people thought. It was not impossible for him to control Jie Li Khan's thoughts.

Of course, there is a more romantic saying in later generations. Liu Shan, who came from Liangzhou, happened to meet the pearl on the grassland on the road, Princess Sinan. The princess fell in love with her father Khan at first sight, and forced Jie Li Khan to accept Liu Shan as his son-in-law. The encounters on the snow field were actually arranged by the princess on purpose. Of course, most romantic novels like this argument.

At this time, Liu Shan learned that he had been set up by Jie Li Khan, the prince-consort of the grassland and the prince-consort of the golden sword. Perhaps many people were willing to sit in this position, and even heroes like Zheng and Lord Xia were willing to do it, but Liu Shan was unwilling to do it. Liu Shan had not even seen a woman before and wanted to marry her. Moreover, Liu Shan liked Yi'er at this time, and it was even more impossible for him to accept any princess of the grassland.

Besides, Liu Shan actually had an extreme idea in his mind: It is better to marry a Han person, and his blood, habits, customs, and everything is easy to get along with. Marrying a grassland girl is not that Liu Shan discriminates against foreign girls, but that Liu Shan is afraid that he will be together in the future, so there will be more inconvenient places.

Besides, Liushan, a Han man, has not yet reached the point of marrying a wife on the grassland.

Liu Shan looked at the girls and took off the golden sword directly from his waist and threw it on the ground. Yi'er knew something was wrong with Liu Shan's reaction. If he really threw the golden sword, it was obvious that it would be like to hit Jie Li Khan's face. The Khan on the grassland was easy to talk and tear his face, so he would not care about anything. Not to mention the passionate men on the grassland, even in the Tang Dynasty, people would always fight to the death, and at least they would never interact with each other.

Yi'er quickly stopped Liu Shan, but the golden knife was really unavailable. Yi'er held the golden knife and pulled Liu Shan aside.

"Liu Shan, what are you doing? You're crazy? You weren't like this before. Don't talk about you, Aunt Yun and I will die in the royal court, and none of us can leave the royal court alive. I'm willing to die with you, but those three girls." Yi'er lowered her voice and said to Liu Shan, afraid that those girls would hear it.

Of course Liu Shan is not crazy, but when he encounters such a thing, he will lose his composure in an individual. Liu Shan is not a god, and he can remain calm when encountering anything. Liu Shan is a flesh-and-blood person.

After hearing Yi'er's words, Liu Shan also realized his situation at this time. Here, he had to take into account his own safety and the safety of several girls. If he could not even protect the people around him, he would still be called a man.

"Actually, I know what Jie Li Khan meant in the tent, but I think you know too. I just understood just now, you don't know anything." Yi'er looked at Liu Shan and said a little apologetically.

"Don't worry, I know what to do. I will return this golden knife to Khan and we will return to Liangzhou as soon as possible."

"This is not OK, the golden knife cannot be returned. Have you heard of the emperor marrying his daughter, but anyone is unwilling to do so?"

"That's their power."

"No, because those who don't want to die."

"Okay, I was scaring you just now. I took this golden knife in my hand and knew what Jie Li Khan meant. Don't worry, I will marry a Turkic princess for the sake of peace of the border." Suddenly, Liu Shan's words turned around, as if everything before was deliberately funny.

"Liu Shan, you can't deceive me. Do you think I am a little girl from the 16th and 7th who has never even left the door, and I don't know anything. I, Zhao Yier, tell you here today that I am yours and your ghost in my life. Since you saved me from thousands of people that night, my life is yours. If you dare to die first, I will go to the underworld road to chase you immediately."

The two of them were speechless, looking at each other and looking at each other's eyes. They had been together for more than a day or two, and they both knew each other's character deeply. Liu Shan held the golden knife from Yi'er's hand and then stepped on his waist again.

"Okay, don't cry, who am I? I am Liu Shan, how could I die in the grassland!" Seeing the tears hanging on the corners of Yi'er's eyes, Liu Shan teased Yi'er.

"You should now confirm which princess you are going to marry, is it this Princess Sinan? If so, she is a good person."

“Why?”

"She is the daughter of Princess Yicheng. If she is not wrong, she should be the daughter of Princess Yicheng and Qimin Khan, and the younger sister of Jie Li Khan now."

"I miss the south, and I miss the south. Princess Yicheng's heart can also be seen in her daughter's name. Yi'er, I also deeply admire this woman." Liu Shan said what he said in his heart. In his heart, women like Zhaojun, Cai Wenji, and Princess Yicheng are all strange women in the world. Their fragile backbone once supported the peace of the northern border for the Han people. Although they are far away in the northern grassland, they still have the Han territory. They say that women are as good as men, but these women who silently contribute to the Han border should also have their own highlights in history books.
