Great Tang Southern Emperor

Although Chuluo Khan inherited the Khan position, his fate was really bad. He was a Khan for only two years (succeeded in 619 and died in 620). For the same reason, his uncles again elected Ashina Dubi as the Khan, that is, Jieli Khan. In order to appease Tuli and Shibi Khan's subordinates, Jieli named Tuli the Little Khan .However, even though he is named Little Khan, there is a big Khan like Xieli on his head. Therefore, although the little Khan has a noble status, his power is far inferior to that of Xieli (it is not as good as Xieli, not No, Shibi Khan still left him a little bit of influence), at best he was regarded as a moving clay bodhisattva.

Chapter 74 Whoops

Therefore, Tuli has always been at odds with Xieli, and is always trying to drag Xieli back.For example, in 624 AD, when Jieli and Tuli led an army to invade the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin took advantage of their relationship to successfully alienate Tuli, and became brothers with Tuli, successfully forcing the Turkic army back.

In 626, the Eastern Turks invaded in anticipation of the Xuanwumen Incident and the political instability of the Tang Dynasty, and attacked Jingyang (now Jingyang County, Xianyang, Shaanxi), which is only 40 miles away from the capital Chang'an.At this time, Tang Taizong Li Shimin was forced to form an alliance with him, and the Turkic soldiers retreated as an alliance with Weishui.Since then, East Turkistan has been divided.Tuli Khan secretly contacted Tang and broke with Jieli Khan.

However, although the two have broken up, this is only a matter between the two. They are still harmonious in front of outsiders, and even the army is stationed together. Therefore, this time when the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, Turks were also affected. It was a last resort. Running with Xieli——As for whether his last resort is true or not, it is up to the benevolent to see the wisdom of the wise.

Jieli is only 50 years old this year, but the devastation of the environment on the grassland and the repeated escapes in the past few days make him look like he is in his 70s.Even so, the wolf king on the prairie is still a wolf king no matter how old he is. His eyes are as sharp as eagles. Looking at the many nobles with different thoughts below, he is still as imposing as a mountain, oppressing everyone so that they can't lift their heads.

"Don't panic, everyone. Since I brought you here, there is naturally a way out." Although he didn't know what to do in his heart, he had to put on a confident appearance on the surface. Jie Li laughed and said, "This time Although I was defeated, I was only defeated by Datang's conspiracy. We still have millions of people and hundreds of thousands of troops. It's just that we don't have time to rectify now. As long as we are given a certain amount of time to react, What we lost will be taken back from Datang several times over."

"Everyone knows this, so how does Khan plan to gain reaction time? Is it like running like this?" Tu Li asked very bluntly.

"Ashina Shibobi, watch your tone! Is this the tone you should speak to Khan?" Ashina Simo, as Jieli's loyal confidant, couldn't help standing up and scolding after hearing this.

"Ashina Simo, you have to pay attention to your tone. My brother is a little khan. Is this the tone you should have when speaking to a little khan?" The leader of the Ashina association immediately saw his brother being scolded. He also stood up and returned the words exactly as Ashina Simo said.

"You" Ashina Simo was furious, and was about to make a move, but was stopped by Qibi Heli: "Okay, what time is it, everyone stop arguing, do you want to discuss something?"

"Huh!" Several people snorted coldly, but their expressions were a little ugly.

"Qibi Heli is right. Time is urgent now. We can't waste it on meaningless quarrels." At that time, Tuli also had a lot of troops under his command, so he could only swallow this breath.

"I think so." Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Jieli continued: "The reason why we don't have time to react is because Tang Jun chased him too fast. In other words, as long as we can completely get rid of Tang Jun, Once we finish rectifying, hey, it will be a matter of who wins and who loses."

"Then Khan, how are you going to buy time for rectification? Is there any way?" Seeing Tuli, Ashi Nasimo wanted to speak again, fearing that he would provoke trouble, so he rushed to ask questions before Tuli.

"Of course there is." Jieli turned around and pointed to the huge map behind him, and said, "Look, we are at this position now, as long as we continue walking southwest of Wang, we will find Tuyuhun and Gaochang. Murong Fuyun (King of Tuyuhun) and Ju Wentai (King of Tuyuhun) King Gaochang) have old friends with me, as long as they promise great profits, they will definitely take us in. And no matter which of these two countries we retreat into, they can buy us enough time-the Tang people are cowardly and self-proclaimed benevolence and righteousness , will not attack other countries for no reason, in other words, as long as we enter these two countries, we will be safe."

"It's indeed a good place." Tuli agreed, but soon frowned again, and said in a concentrated voice: "However, there is another problem. According to our information, the famous Tang Dynasty general Li Ji has already stationed troops at the crossing and the crossing is It is necessary to go to Gaochang and Tuyuhun, I wonder if there is any way for you, Khan?"

"It depends on our warriors, whether they are brave enough or not." Jieli said helplessly, this is the only difficulty on the way to escape, as long as he breaks through, the sea and the sky will be brighter, but Li Ji's reputation is there, and there are [-] elite men under his command , it must be extremely difficult to break through, even Xieli has no choice but to use human life to attack.

"That's the only way to go." Tuli stared at the map and pondered for a while, and found that Jieli's method was indeed the best choice at the moment. There are not many countries bordering Turks, except Tang Dynasty in the south and Western Turks in the west. In addition to Xue Yantuo in the north and Goguryeo in the east, there are Gaochang and Tuyuhun, as well as some small city-states in the Western Regions.

As for turning directly back to the prairie to gather up the old troops, this is even more impossible.Not to mention the urgency of the Tang army chasing behind, it must be known that the Turks are a grassland nation, and the tribes are not gathered together, but scattered in all directions.And what they lack most now is time. If they want to call up the old minions one by one, the Great Tang's army will have already wiped them out before they finish.On the contrary, relying on other countries can win a long period of time, thus winning the opportunity to regroup.

Among them, Datang and Turks are mortal enemies, so naturally there is no need to consider it.

The West Turkic and Eastern Turkic were not dealt with either. Even if Tong Ye Hujian was willing to take him in because he was from the same clan, he would have to bleed heavily, and it would be basically impossible to return to the Eastern Turkic and make a comeback.

Xue Yantuo and Goguryeo were not on their escape route and were not considered.

And most of the countries in the Western Regions are nothing but weak national powers. If you really want to rely on them, let alone whether they will be sold in a blink of an eye. Let’s just say that the mighty Turkic Khan has nowhere to go to seek refuge in these small countries that are as big as sesame seeds and mung beans. He Jieli Don't be shameless, I still rely on this face to live.

So after counting and counting, only Gaochang and Tuyuhun can temporarily provide them with shelter. Although the shelter time may not be too long, it is enough for the Turkic people who just need to rest.

"If everyone has no objections, then let's do this. Everyone, go back and prepare first. I still have a little bit here, ouch." Xie Li was about to deliver a concluding statement, but a cramping pain in his stomach interrupted him.

"Khan, what's wrong with you?" As Xieli's most loyal subordinate, Ashina Simo immediately noticed something was wrong with Xieli.

"I don't know, it's just a stomachache. Maybe it's because I ate badly. Oh, no, no, I have to go." The severe pain in my stomach became more and more intense, and finally I couldn't bear it anymore, so I didn't even finish my sentence. Just rushed out.

"Idiot, don't hurry up and hand over to the witch doctor, my stomach is starting to hurt." Ashina also rushed out clutching his stomach

"No, no, my stomach is ouch too." Qi Bi He Li

"No, there is a problem here," Tuli said.

"No, I'm going to die"

"bad stomach ache"

"Oops, my intestines are about to break"

"Where are all the witch doctors dead?"

Chapter 75 Croton Contributes

Except for these few people, the rest of the people in Wang's tent also showed such symptoms one after another, and they all ran out of the tent clutching their stomachs.

"What's the situation?" After rushing out of the king's tent, Tu Li noticed that not only the king's tent, but the whole camp was like this. It goes without saying that the entire camp is full of stench. From the stench, you can see people squatting on the ground almost as far as your eyes can see-the toilet is really not enough, and it can only be solved on the spot.

"Hey, what's going on? Why is this happening to everyone?" Tu Li grabbed a person who was running past him and asked in a questioning voice.

"I've seen little Khan, I don't know. Just now, I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen, and when I came out, it was already like this, oh, I can't do it, I..." the man broke away from Tuli as he said. , Regardless of his dignity, he just took off his pants and squatted on the ground, and then there was a burst of explosions, followed by a strange smell.

"Hey, you and I can't do it either." Tuli was about to scold, but suddenly felt the cramping in his stomach worse. He hurriedly imitated that man, took off his pants and squatted in the grass, and then felt very sore The feeling came from nowhere, and at this moment, Tuli actually had a hearty feeling.

But he soon lost this feeling, because until a quarter of an hour later, Tuli's legs went limp, and the cramping pain in his stomach didn't stop for a moment, but became more and more severe, so that he even felt sick. I dare not stand up - once I stand up for more than a few breaths, the colic will come as promised, and then I have to squat down again, and then I just squat like this.

Not only Tuli, but everyone in the Turkic camp thought so—after all, after standing up, they had to squat down for a while, so they should not stand up at all.As for the more important question, no one is in the mood to pursue the cause of this spectacular mass diarrhea event.

Therefore, there was no movement in the Turkic camp soon, only the occasional "crash" sound, letting people know that this is not a dead camp.

Although it is not a death camp, if they are allowed to go on like this, I am afraid they will not be far from death.Because it was none other than Li Zhen's Blood Dragon Guard who poisoned him, and the poison he poisoned was very simple, it was Croton, which was said to be able to pull people to death.

Of course Li Zhen didn't want to catch only one dead Xieli, so

"Wow, it's really spectacular." Holding up the binoculars made of transparent crystal, Fang Yi'ai clicked his tongue. It was exactly as he said. Although it looks very disgusting, if the disgusting elements are removed, more than 1 The situation where people have diarrhea at the same time is quite spectacular.

"Compared to this, I am even more speechless about His Highness's methods." Du He also held up a telescope, and said with a wry smile: "I think Jieli is also a hero of the generation of Khan, who has driven my Tang Dynasty to the end several times. Now I was killed by a bag of croton powder, I really don't know what to say."

"What's wrong with croton powder?" Fang Yiai retorted: "As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit, as long as they can win, it doesn't matter what method they use? Besides, although Xieli is considered a hero, to me, Tang Dynasty, he is absolutely equal." I can't wait to eat his flesh and lay his skin on him, but it is said that His Highness has more powerful methods, and I just wait for Xieli to use them after he is caught."

"This is not a bag of croton powder." Xue Rengui smiled and said, "For this time, Your Highness has wrapped up the whole year's croton production in the entire Shu region. It is said that it cost a lot of money. Woolen cloth."

"I said, don't talk about it. Your Highness's order is to catch Xieli, not for you to chat." It was Ben Yin who spoke. After living in Tang Dynasty for so long, his Chinese is quite proficient, and he also Loyal to Li Zhen, seeing Xue Rengui and the others chatting at this moment, they couldn't help reminding: "Don't blame me for reminding you, not everyone in the Turkic army eats dinner, if someone escapes with Xieli at this time , I see how you will explain to His Highness when you go back?"

"The reason for this is that my lord can rest assured that I have my own arrangements." The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, his height could not be discerned from lying on the ground, but his physique was extremely strong, and his beard almost covered his mouth. At a glance, one can tell that this is a heroic and heroic man.

However, the facts are completely contrary to the appearance. In fact, this guy is the most sinister of them all. His name is Yi Zheng. Bean is also from his handwriting.However, although this guy is insidious, his ability to do things is quite strong, and he is very courageous and skillful, so Li Zhen relies heavily on him.

Everyone also admires Yi Zheng very much. If he can really capture Xieli alive this time, Yi Zheng will definitely be the first.In fact, he really deserved it. After receiving Li Zhen's order, Yi Zheng first bought enough croton powder in Shuzhong, and then sent his men to scout around the grassland. The possible escape route is also one of the reasons why Xue Rengui was able to quickly track down Xieli, and Yi Zheng can be said to have contributed a lot.

Not only that, what happened next made Xue Rengui admire him very much. Yi Zheng knew that if Xieli wanted to escape, he would definitely walk along the river bank, because after all, he had tens of thousands of troops under his command, and he couldn't do without enough water. .Based on this, coupled with a large amount of information, Yi Zheng actually successfully calculated the location of Xieli's camp. After several previous verifications, he guessed nine out of ten.

After calculating the camping site in advance, the next step is easy. Yi Zheng sent people to block the downstream of the river one hour in advance, and then poured all the croton powder into the river. , is a frightened bird again, everyone is in danger, and how can they study why the water here doesn't flow?

In this way, under Yi Zheng's masterful arrangement, Xieli was successfully recruited, and tens of thousands of troops were directly brought down. What awaited them would be the ruthless footprints of the Tang cavalry.
