Chapter 76 Turkic News

In the first year of Kaihuang's reign, on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, an envoy from Chang'an came to the Bingzhou Governor's Mansion with an edict.

When Yang Guang received another award, Yang Jian also increased his estate.

But for Yang Guang, he doesn't care how much food is added. What matters is Yang Jian's opinion of himself.

And Cui Che did not waste his hard work and became the county magistrate of Wucheng County, housing 500 households in the town.

There were nine levels of title in the Sui Dynasty, namely, prince, county king, duke, county duke, county duke, county marquis, county uncle, county son, and county son.

When Yang Jian founded the country, Cui Che was granted the title of Prince of Wucheng County while being officially worshiped as a minister of the imperial family.

This promotion to the first rank was not only a tribute to his contribution, but also a recognition of his assisting Yang Guang in governing the Jin region and being praised by the scholars and people.

The envoy not only brought the edict of commendation, but also brought news to Yang Guang, Cui Che and others. The Internal History Order and the Minister of Civil Affairs, Yu Qingze, would lead 30,000 troops to garrison the state to guard against the Turkic invasion, and at the same time alert the general manager's office.

Prepare logistical supplies for it.

The Turks are now the unquestionable overlords of the Mobei Grassland, with their territory extending to the Liaohai Sea (the upper reaches of the Liao River) in the east, the Caspian Sea in the west, the Beihai Sea (today's Lake Baikal) in the north, and the Amu Darya River in the south.

She was related by marriage to the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Empress Ashina, Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty, was a Turkic princess. Similarly, naturally a Northern Zhou princess was sent to Mobei, and this person was Princess Qianjin.

Princess Qianjin is the seventh son of Yuwentai and the daughter of King Zhao Yuwenzhao. She went north to get married in February last year.

However, the situation in the north changed dramatically after the marriage. In May last year, Emperor Xuan of Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yun died, and Yang Jian was able to take power as a relative. In July, Princess Qianjin's father, Prince Zhao Wang Yuwenzhao, was killed by Yang Jian.

Now that Yang Jian has usurped the Zhou Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty, Princess Qianjin and him can be said to be a country-hate family feud.

Under the instigation of Princess Qianjin, the Turkic Tubo Khan gathered troops in Mobei and attempted to go south to avenge the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

This kind of drama was played out a few years ago. When the Northern Qi Dynasty fell, Tubo Khan also clamored to avenge the Northern Qi Dynasty, and in the name of this, he plundered the borders of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Yang Jian heard the news about the grassland and did not dare to be careless, so Yu Qingze was stationed in Bingzhou.

Yang Guang, Cui Che and others have repeatedly made achievements in government affairs, and Yang Xuangan is also famous for his bravery as the commander in charge of the military. However, Yang Jian cannot trust these young people in the military.

Looking at the official positions, whether he is the chief official of the Ministry of Internal History, or the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Yu Qingze seems to be a civil official, but this is not the case.

Yu Qingze's ancestors came from the Tiefu tribe of the Xiongnu, and they were strong and powerful for generations. When he was young, Yu Qingze himself also engaged in hunting as a career, and was highly skilled in riding and shooting. Later, because he admired Fu Jiezi and Ban Chao, he studied hard and was a man of both civil and military skills.

Of course, it is one thing to admire Fu Jiezi and Ban Chao as a person, but it does not mean that they will follow suit. The behavior of fans has nothing to do with idols.

For example, in order to seek wealth and honor, he proposed to Yang Jian to kill all the Yuwen family.

After all, they were ministers of the Yuwen family. Even when Wei Zheng was compiling the "Book of Sui", he had to invent Gao Qiu, who supported the massacre of Yuwen, and Yang Xiong and Yang Xiong to add the sentence "obey and obey", which means they agreed against their will.

Used to cover up one's ugliness, this shows the bad impact of this incident.

Yu Qing was promoted by Gao Jiong, and Yang Guang gave up his attempts to win over him.

Although Gao Hongde, the second son of Gao Jiong, was serving as a secretary in the Bingzhou Governor's Mansion at this time, there is no need to elaborate on who is closer to his son's head of the palace or his son-in-law.

Gao Jiong was a staunch princeling, and Yu Qingze had a close personal relationship with him. If he tried to win over Yu Qingze, it would arouse the vigilance of Gao Jiong, Yang Yong and others.

Cui Che doesn't need to remind him of this, Yang Guang himself knows it very well.

Before, Lu Ben had unilaterally worked for Yang Guang, which was enough to hold him back, and now he had to hide his intention to seize the heir.

After all, as a vassal king, if you govern the place carefully, it does not mean that you will definitely compete for the throne.

But don't be too cold with Yu Qingze. If you can't crush a villain, try not to have a grudge with him.

Yu Qingze, who could use the lives of his old master Yuwen's entire family as a stepping stone to his ascendancy, was a despicable character, but he also had outstanding abilities. He was extremely favored and trusted by Yang Jian. Even if he didn't intend to win over him, he couldn't turn against him.

After Yang Guang discussed with Cui Che, he decided to maintain a lukewarm relationship with Yu Qingze, handle official business, and do logistical work for him. As for all communications, Gao Hongde would be the one to handle it.

Yu Qing led his army to leave Chang'an in late November. Cui Che had already dispatched a supply of military supplies for him in the middle of November. He had been working in logistics under Yuchi Jiong, and he was very familiar with it. He was considered his old trade.

Already.

However, until the end of the year, Yu Qingze's 30,000-strong army was never expected to arrive. Instead, news of his return to Chang'an was learned.

It turned out that there was news from the Mobei grassland that Tubo Khan, who was planning to go south, died of illness. The Turks were involved in a battle for the throne, so they naturally had no time to go south.

In the final analysis, the cause of this battle was the brother-in-law of the Turkic Khan.

The founder of the Turkic Khanate, Ili Khan Ashina Tumen, captured Rouran Khan Anagu (gui) in 552 and died of illness the following year. He was succeeded by his son Ashina Koro, who was Yi.

Xixi Kehan.

However, Koro also died of illness in the same year. Since the country was just established, the young master could not bear the heavy responsibility. Koro gave up his son Ashina to take pictures when he was dying, and appointed his younger brother Ashina Qijin as the Mugan Khan.

The Turks reached their peak under the leadership of Qi Jin. In 572, Qi Jin died. Before his death, he made the same choice as his elder brother, abandoning his son Ashina Daluobian and making his younger brother Ashina Kutou the Khan.

It's Tubo Khan.

Before Tubo Khan died, he wanted to return the Khan throne to Daluobian, the son of Qi Jin. This was the origin of the battle for the Khan throne.

The sons of Ke Luo, Qi Jin, and even the sons of Tubo Khan were all involved.

Everyone's father has been a khan, and everyone has legal inheritance rights.

But the real foreshadowing of the Turkic split actually had nothing to do with this fight for power.

When Ashina Tumen led his army to the eastward expedition and defeated Rouran to seize the hegemony of the Mobei grassland, his younger brother was responsible for staying in his hometown in the Altai Mountains. After that, he made repeated military exploits in the western expedition, was awarded the title of Western Khan, and controlled the Turkic Khan.

The western territory of the country is the Shidianmi Khan.

It is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Chief Khan, but in fact it is independent of the eastern region.

In fact, the Turks split into two factions very early on. The eastern Turks are controlled by the descendants of Ashina Tumen, and the western Turks are controlled by the descendants of his brother Dianmi Khan. The two brothers are also regarded as the two ancestors by the Turkic people.

The Central Plains and the Turkic Khanate are far apart, and there is a lag in the transmission of news. At this time, the battle for the Turkic Khanate has already come to an end. When Tubo Khan died, his plan was still based on Daluobian, the son of Qijin. He never thought about it, but he did not

Gained respect from everyone.

The person who led everyone to oppose was Ashina Photography, the eldest grandson of Tumen and the son of Koro.
