At that time, the forces on the northeastern border of the Tang Dynasty were intertwined, and the places where they passed from the Anton Protector to the Tieler Nine Clans north of the Turkic Khanate were mainly the activities of the Turkic, Khitan and Sumo tribes.
Among them, the Khitan was conquered by the Turkic Kingdom and was actually controlled by the Turkic people; and the leader of Sumo (Mihe tribe) Dae Jo-rong established a regime after crossing the Liaohe River eastward to call himself the King of Zhen, and sent envoys to pay tribute to the Tang court. The Tang court appointed him as the King of Bohai County, ruled the capital of Hukhan Prefecture, and was appointed as the governor of Hukhan Prefecture, so they named Bohai as the country.
In contrast, the Bohai Kingdom was a prison of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang envoy was safer through the area.
The envoys from the Anton Protectorate passed through the Bohai border to Tiel. The first trip was very smooth. The consent of the envoys from the Sumo people and above allowed them to pass through.
Unexpectedly, when the Tang people returned with the Tielle envoy, they encountered the Turkic cavalry, and the guards were all captured.
The envoys of Tang Dynasty Li Tianshu and Tieleba Yigu were arrested and taken to Heisha City.
The two of them walked together naturally made Mochuk Khan furious at the Tielite people, because the nine surnames of Tiel were all from the Turkic lineage, and Mochuk Khan always regarded them as his own vassal forces. The alliance between Tiel and the Tang Dynasty was a betrayal for him.
While Mochu Khan's anger, Li Tianshu scolded him in person: Since the Turks were ministers of the Tang Dynasty, how could they bind the envoys of the superior country like this?
Mochu sneered: What are you going to do when you detour to Hanhai (Tiele)?
He turned around and asked the Turkic generals who brought the prisoners: Have you found their national letters and waited for the text?
The Turkic general hurriedly said: When we encountered this group of people, a conflict broke out soon. When the Tang envoy saw that the guards were defeated, he ate the letter of the country...
Mochuo immediately said: Come on, peel off his stomach for me!
Li Tianshu said angrily: Who dares?Are you even going to rebel against the Tang Dynasty?
Mochu said: It is still time to beg for mercy now, and tell us your conspiracy.
After hearing this, Li Tianshu suddenly laughed and pulled his shirt apart: Come on, Li is loyal to the court today, and another day, 100,000 cavalry will avenge me!
After saying that, two Turkic warriors came up and dragged him down.
After a while, the warrior reported: The Tang envoy's face remained unchanged, and he was dead after breaking his belly. The things in his intestines were rotten into blood mud, and we found nothing.
At this time, the face of the Tielle messenger had turned pale. Not to mention what he saw with his own eyes, even if he had just heard of such cruelty, his hands and feet were trembling.
When Mochu turned around and looked at him, his body suddenly shivered.
Mo Chuan said: I have never been ruthless when dealing with betrayers. There is a big boiling pot outside and it will boil you into bones.
The envoy of Tielle fell to the ground with a pounce, and said tremblingly: I was only sent by the leader Ba Yigu and their Chang'an, and I have no intention of betraying the Khan.
What to do in Chang'an? Mochu sneered, "As long as you say a little lie, I will ask someone to cook you."
Tiele envoy said: Ba Yigu joined forces with the thirteen Tiele tribes in the Hanhai, and wanted to attack the Tang army from north to south to deal with the Khan. I was given a letter of nationality and went to Chang'an to form an alliance.
When the Turkic ministers heard this, they were immediately in an uproar and shouted: The Han people are cunning and unreliable!
I just vowed to fight with us a few months ago, and we were at the border to be harmonious. Unexpectedly, the Han people planned to murder us first!
Drag this betrayer out and cook it, giving all the Tielers who betray us.Mochu ordered.
The envoy of Tielle cried: I have told you everything I know, why did Khan say nothing?Mochu said: When did Ben Khan say he wanted to let you go?
So the two warriors who had killed the Tang envoy Li Tianshu came up again to catch the Tielle envoy, no matter how he begged for mercy and cried, he dragged it out without any discretion.
Seeing this, the envoy of Tielle cursed: You must die well... He was dragged out of the battle, and he saw a big boiling pot under a flagpole. The firewood at the bottom of the pot was burning red, the turbid water in the pot was bubbled, and a skeleton was faintly seen from the white smoke being washed up by boiling water.
The envoy of Tielle was shocked and lay on the ground and could not survive, so the warriors forced themselves to pull him.
The messenger grabbed the ground with both hands and was dragged away, his nails were cracked and his hands were covered in blood, and his face was filled with tears and mud, making him feel embarrassed.
A Turkic man next to him said calmly when he saw this: Why don’t you tie your hands and feet?He didn't throw him in for a while, and he overturned the pot first.
So the warriors tore his clothes off as they said, and tied them up with ropes. No matter how heartbreaking he screamed, he lifted his head down and threw it into the pot. Suddenly, a violent struggle was splattered with boiling water. The messenger struggled his head and screamed. His hair and skin were burned off, and his distorted expression, a face that was indescribable terror was indescribable.
Even the faces of the guard next to him changed.
The ministers in the Khan tent ignored the screams outside, and they were busy saying that they had gone to work.
Mochu's brother-in-law Huoba Jie Lifa said: Since the Tang Dynasty has made a comeback, we don't have to be polite to them anymore. When the horse is fat, the Khan immediately led the iron cavalry to rob Hebei and other places for tooth.
Another relative, Shi Ashibi, said: The Tang Dynasty also gave money and food in the summer, but the autumn may still be delivered to us in full swing.We might as well take advantage of the Tang Dynasty and first attack the Tielle Jiu surname to plunder their cattle, sheep and horses. Both sides have the benefits, which is the most cost-effective.
Huoba Jieli said angrily: Your abacus is good, but if we kill the Tang envoy, will they still give him a good face?
Isn’t it just one person who died? The Tang people have always put the overall situation first. Are they not afraid that we will go south with the Khitans?Then how can a death envoy compare to the losses?
Yang Wozhi (Mochuo's son) also spoke: My uncle Shi Ashibi's words make sense. Why don't you attack the Tang Dynasty first, otherwise the tribes around us who are angry with us will be encouraged by the Tang Dynasty to plot against us in all directions and make contributions.It is wise to first eliminate those who oppose us by the Tiel tribes.The Tang army cannot be eliminated from the grassland, and the border has been plagued all year round, so sooner or later, peace will be negotiated.Anyway, it is impossible to drive to the Central Plains with the current strength of the Turkic Kingdom. It is best to maintain the status quo and make as much profit as possible.
Mochu gently tapped the ground with his scepter and said coldly: I hate the betrayer the most. If I don’t give Tieler a little color, it will be difficult to vent my hatred!
……
Princess Ashinazhuo heard about what happened that day from her elders, and naturally told Li Shizhi when she went back because Li Shizhi liked to listen to national affairs very much.
The composition of the Turkic regime is mostly based on family relatives, and then is composed of relatives of the leaders of each tribe. Unlike the stable systems such as the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty, it is too easy for their relatives to learn about the facts of the country.
After hearing it patiently, Li Shizhi said without hesitation: What your father Khan decided today is completely wrong!
Ashinazhuo looked at him with admiration and asked: What do you think Mr. Li should do your father Khan?
Li Shizhi pondered for a moment and then turned around and said: If you have enlightenment, you will have many helpers but few helpers. The ancients have long explained the truth clearly, but today's people do not follow the ways of their predecessors.Mochu Khan was like conquering the Thirteen Tribes of Tielle. With his bloodthirteen nature, he would inevitably deepen his hatred. The vast sea of Protectorate Mansion was thousands of miles away. Can the Turkic army kill them?If you can keep disasters but cannot be eliminated, why bother to accumulate grievances?Furthermore, the most common trick used by the Xue family, the court's nationality, is to regard themselves as just, to be a demon enemy, and to be justified but use its benefits to win over various forces to attack their opponents.When the war begins suddenly, the Turkic Kingdom will be in a state of siege on all sides!
The correct way for Mochu Khan now is to send envoy Tiel immediately to give up some Li to win them over. Even if they cannot be allowed to submit sincerely, at least don’t let the Tielites kill the Turks with all their hearts.There are also Khitan tribes who have defected to Mochu Khan?These tribes must be contacted and won over.Then as long as you win a certain victory on the front battlefield, those fence-bearers will definitely not dare to betray the Turks and become enemies.Next, we only need to guard against the Tang army's cavalry from the farmland. Wouldn't we be able to get rid of danger?
Ashina Zhuoxi said: Mr. Li is so amazing. Just sit at home and get rid of everything in the world!I will persuade my father to do what you said.
Li Shizhi smiled and said: Mochu Khan will not listen, otherwise why would I say it to help the Turks?Don’t forget that I am the descendant of Li Tang.
Why don’t you help the Turks? Am I not a Turk?Asunazhuo looked at him expectantly.
Li Shizhi was speechless.
Ashinazhuo said softly again: If your father Khan doesn't listen, then he will forget it, but he will tell him first. Only when he realizes that he is wrong will he discover Mr. Li's cleverness. At that time... Ashinazhuo's face turned red.
Li Shizhi sighed when he saw this, thinking that not all barbarians are so disgusting. Like this princess, she is adorable, and her kindness is touching but she doesn't know how to repay it.
At this moment, Li Shizhi suddenly realized that what he said just now was indeed on the standpoint of helping the Turks deal with Xue Chongxun, which was completely subconscious.
After careful consideration, he felt that it was completely impossible for him to be loyal to the Turkic Khan because of Ashinazhuo, but he really didn't want Xue Chongxun to win!
Although Li Shizhi was a Han Chinese, he was most proud of the Li family. But now the Li family's throne is under the control of the Xue family, and under the contradiction, he wants to restore the Li family's throne even more.
Xue Chongxun's power grew, except for the reason why Princess Taiping's family was born, and several developments were achieved through victory and victory as an opportunity.
Especially his recent defeat of Tubo has greatly increased his reputation and has become more difficult to shake.
If the Turkic Khanate is destroyed again this time, its martial arts reputation will probably be comparable to that of its predecessors...
When Li Shizhi thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh sadly: I thought that my Tang Dynasty had been in the foundation of a hundred years, would it be ruined today?
At this time, Ashinazhuo was about to leave, and Li Shizhi guessed that she was in a hurry to tell Mochu Khan's plan, so he called her.Ashinazhuo turned around and said: Does Mr. Li have any other tricks?
Li Shizhi hesitated for a moment and said calmly: Don’t talk to yourself. Let me tell your uncle Tsuyogu that day, and that Turkic minister who sent me to Heisha City.Then let Shiyugu go to Mochu Khan to make suggestions, let alone my plan, it will be easier to achieve.
Ashinazhuo thought about it and frowned: My father Khan doesn't know it's Mr. Li's credit.
Li Shizhi said kindly: Isn’t it better to know afterwards?
Among them, the Khitan was conquered by the Turkic Kingdom and was actually controlled by the Turkic people; and the leader of Sumo (Mihe tribe) Dae Jo-rong established a regime after crossing the Liaohe River eastward to call himself the King of Zhen, and sent envoys to pay tribute to the Tang court.
