Chapter 525 The Princess' Revenge
The mountains overlap continuously, extending from northwest to southeast, with high peaks and deep valleys.
Looking from a distance, Zhengyan is exposed halfway up the mountainside, high above the clouds, covered with snow in winter and summer, and can be seen hundreds of miles away. Below the half slope, the shady slopes of the mountain are covered with dense forests, while the sunny slopes are interspersed with shrubs and weeds.
Xi Junmai said that the local Qiang people call it Die Mountain, also known as Lugu Mountain.
Qin Lang thought to himself that these exposed rocks really looked like exposed bones. From a distance, they looked a bit like a half-bald middle-aged man, with bare peaks and dense forests below half of his waist.
Liang Jianfang led the horse and walked behind Qin Lang, "This snow scene is very famous, and the snowy Hengdie Mountain among many poets is such a magnificent portrayal."
Magnificence is magnificence, but at this time Qin Lang didn't have much thought to appreciate the beauty.
After all, I was a bit embarrassed.
Tuoba Chici led countless party members to chase and intercept Qin Lang and the others to the bank of the Yellow River, to the border of Tuyuhun.
Originally, Qin Lang planned to cross the border directly into Tuyuhun, and then take a detour to Longyou.
Gao Kan and others even proposed to teach the Tuyuhun people who have been dishonest in the past few years by the way. This is very harsh, but in fact, they have not waited for them to cross the border into Tuyuhun, but the Tuyuhun people came first.
The nephew of Tuyuhun Khan Tuyuhun Fuyun, Tuyuhun Wusu came across the border with 8,000 riders. Fortunately, Qin Lang was deeply in the heart of the enemy, and had always been cautious, and had always had the habit of riding loose for thirty miles to be on guard.
Detective Wusu led Tuyuhun soldiers to kill him, Qin Lang quickly withdrew.
Although Wusu sent people to catch up and said that he was ordered by Tuyuhun Khan to meet them, Qin Lang would not believe it.
This Wusu is the grandson of Kwalu, the 18th leader of the royal family of Tuyuhun. The Western Wei Dynasty had no choice but to marry the princess, but in his later years, during the Northern Zhou and Sui dynasties, the Central Plains successively sent heavy troops against Tuyuhun, which severely injured Tuyuhun's vitality.
After Kua Lu died that year, his uncle succeeded to the throne and married Princess Guanghua of the Sui Dynasty. After Shifu died, his second uncle Fuyun succeeded to the throne and married Princess Guanghua. Fu Yun also asked the Sui Dynasty to marry the princess for Wusu, which displeased the Emperor Sui.
After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, Fu Yun sent the royal family Luoyang Gong to Chang'an to congratulate the emperor. As a result, when this guy arrived in Shanzhou, he led his troops to sneak attack and seize the city there, looted it wantonly, and then neither went to Chang'an nor returned to Yuhun up.
This incident aroused Li Shimin's fury, and sent an envoy to ask Fu Yun for an explanation. Fu Yun said that it was the Duke of Luoyang's rebellion. Li Shimin was dissatisfied, and asked Fu Yun to go to Chang'an to explain in person. But Fuyun used to always fight against the Central Plains, fearing that he would be detained as soon as he went to Chang'an, and he would be in the same situation as Luo Khan in the West Turks.
This beam is also knotted.
After the Weishui alliance, the imperial court freed up its hands and began to send generals to Longyou. Duke Luoyang quickly fled back to Tuyuhun, and it was this Wusu who personally responded.
In the past few years, the relationship between Datang and Tuyuhun has been extremely bad. Since the imperial court sent Fu Yun's prince Murong Shun back, Fu Yun has no scruples anymore, and has repeatedly invaded Longyou, Hexi, and even instigated Dangxiang Qiang to invade the sword. South.
Now that Wu Su said that he came to meet the Tang Jun brothers and protect them from being chased and killed by the party members, Qin Lang would not believe it no matter how naive he was.
However, the road ahead was blocked, and there were pursuers behind, Qin Lang didn't dare to charge the Tuyuhun people at this time, so he ran into Xiqing Mountain quickly.
West leaning mountains, high mountains, dense forests, deep valleys and dangerous valleys.
They walked around in the mountains, stopped and turned, and turned back and forth. Fortunately, there were not many people and horses, and they brought enough dried meat when they entered the mountains, so there was no shortage of food.
"These sons of a bitch, Tuyuhun, dare to add insult to injury!" the angry Gao Zhensheng cursed, the road was difficult, so he had to lead the horse away. The narrow mountain road is surrounded by deep valleys. No matter how good the riding skills are, I dare not ride a war horse through it.
This kind of place is only suitable for walking, and horses are only suitable for dwarf mules or donkeys.
"Are we going the right way? Why do I feel like I've been going in circles here?"
Xi Junmai was chewing the dried beef, but he didn't have any worries. "That's right, this is in the mountains. Wangshan ran dead horses, and often had to go around the mountains and valleys, but we didn't make a mistake. We have been heading east."
"How long will it take to get out?" Gao Zhensheng said.
"We've just entered the mountain, and it's still early." Xi Junmai is quite used to this kind of march of drilling trenches and climbing hills, "I guess it will take ten and a half months to reach Diezhou."
The roads in the mountains are difficult, and the roads are not very familiar, so it is inevitable that you will often take wrong roads, and you must always beware of Tuyuhun people and Dangxiang Qiang people.
"Then the Tuyuhun wolf and the Dangxiang dog are still following?"
Although being chased was a bit embarrassing, although everyone was a little angry, they were actually in a good mood.
"Where do you think Fu Yun has the courage to provoke Datang again and again?" Su Dingfang was a little puzzled.
East Turkic Khan Jieli, who used to be able to **** on Datang's neck, has now been captured and sent to Luoyang alive, and can only dance Turkic dances for the emperor at the emperor's palace banquet.
"I heard that Fu Yun is very old, and Princess Guanghua has been instigating him."
Princess Gwanghwa, like Princess Yicheng, who was pro-Turk, was pro-Turkish and pro-Hu people after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, and both have been out of the fortress for more than 30 years.
Princess Yicheng married Luo Jieli, father and son of Qimin Shibichu, and Princess Guanghua also married two brothers, Tuyuhun Shifu and Fuyun.
For these princesses who have made peace outside the Great Wall for the sake of the peace of their home country, the Central Plains is far away and gradually unfamiliar, but it is their hometown and home country after all.
When the Sui Dynasty fell, these princesses who married and got married became kites with broken strings. When the Sui Dynasty was in power, they still wholeheartedly persuaded the men who married far away to maintain harmony and friendship with the Central Plains, but after the fall of the Great Sui Dynasty, for them, the emerging Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains was no longer their hometown and country, but just rebellious officials and thieves seeking to usurp the throne , is the enemy.
Just as the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Turk-friendly Princess Qianjin kept persuading Sabolo to invade the Central Plains after the fall of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Princess Yicheng and Princess Guanghua were actually doing the same thing.
Li Jing attacked the Eastern Turks in the Northern Expedition, Su Dingfang captured Jieli Khan alive, Princess Yicheng was captured together, and was taken to Youzhou, where Cheng Yaojin cut off her head with a straight knife.
Princess Guanghua, who was far away in Qinghai, heard that her sister who had been separated for more than 30 years had been killed. She was heartbroken, and day and night persuaded the old and faint Fu Yun to go to war with the Tang people.
Once a young girl went out to meet her relatives Tuyuhun. After more than 30 years of wind and rain outside the Great Wall, the princess of the Sui Dynasty had already become an old and persistent old woman with revenge.
The remaining life, for her, is only for revenge.
"I heard that Tuyuhun is now the Prime Minister of Tianzhu King. It is said that this Tianzhu King is called a treacherous prime minister by the people of Tuyuhun, but he is extremely powerful."
Tuyuhun was originally a Murong tribe that migrated from Liaodong. It is said that the head of the Murong tribe had two sons, one was the eldest son named Tuyuhun, and the other was a young son.
When the old patriarch died, all the tribes had a son. It was Tuyuhun who said that the Xianbei custom is for the youngest son to keep the business, so he offered to take his tribe out to set up another family business.
Tuyuhun really only brought 700 troops with him, and left from Liaodong, looking west for a place where he could settle down and establish a career. At that time, the north was in chaos, and there were wars everywhere. Tuyuhun took 700 subordinates, unexpectedly all the way Came to Qinghai from Liaodong, and finally settled down there.
Tuyuhun worked hard, took in more wives and concubines, and gave birth to more than fifty sons. His children and grandchildren are also very competitive. After only four generations, there are more than 3,000 family heirs.
The sons and grandchildren spread their branches and leaves, and recruited the unemployed in Guanlong in the troubled times, and recruited the small Qiang tribes in Longgan and other places. The leaders of several generations were very competitive, and formed a very powerful Xianbei Qiang group. .
After the hard work of generations, it has been more than 300 years, and eighteen generations of leaders have been handed down.
I have to say that Tuyuhun and his descendants are indeed very legendary. They wandered from distant Liaodong to Qinghai with seven hundred households alone, and took root here. A kingdom of Xianbei people was established and lasted for three hundred years.
The descendants of Tuyuhun took Tuyuhun's name as their surname, and later took his name as their country name, which was passed down from generation to generation.
But to say that they dare to make enemies of the Central Plains, that is still a little too young.
When Lu Kua was in power, it was the most powerful era of Tuyuhun, and the descendants of Tuyuhun's family also expanded to the limit, so they began to inevitably become enemies of the Central Plains, harassing and invading the Central Plains. As a result, from then on, Tuyuhun began to leave downhill.
At that time, the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Central Plains were also Xianbei people, but they were Tuoba Xianbei, and they were sworn enemies with Murong Xianbei before.
The Tuoba Xianbei who took the initiative to sinicize are no longer just Hu people. In addition to retaining the Hu Feng who can fight, they have gradually learned many tricks and tricks. To deal with the Tuyuhun Xianbei who were originally of the same origin, the Northern Wei Dynasty began to use tactics.
Distance meter.
So later, the descendants of the Tuyuhun family were no longer the group of people who united with the outside world from generation to generation. They also began to fight for power, land, and even the Khan position.
Tuyuhun fought in the same room, and internal strife continued.
Through the three generations of Lü Kua, Shi Fu, and Fu Yun's father and son, the civil strife in Tuyuhun has basically never stopped. The tragic rivalry caused serious internal friction among them.
Since Lu Kua, the Tuyuhun Kingdom has also begun to confer clans on a large scale. In the past, the highest clans were only dukes. Even in the country, those who are powerful have begun to allow the founding of the country.
For example, the eight kingdoms of Tuoba, and the four tribes of Hulun are each a country.
Many powerful tribes began to proclaim the country one after another, and the leaders also proclaimed the king one after another, which made the internal situation of Tuyuhun more complicated.
