However, what Ling Yinan didn't expect was that before he could find out the truth behind Bazhuo's disappearance, Tumozhi led his men to attack the Uighurs under the pretext of avenging Bazhuo!
What made him even more unexpected was that news came out somewhere within Xue Yantuo that whoever could avenge Bazhuo would be appointed as the next khan!
As a result, his remaining sons were inspired, disobeying his orders, and led troops and horses to attack the Uighurs.
At this time, Yi Nan realized that there was a pair of hands secretly controlling everything behind his back, trying to destroy Xue Yantuo.
He wanted his sons to come back, but it was too late, because Tumochi took the lead in disobeying orders and launched an attack on the Uighurs, causing his sons to all believe that the rumor was true.
On the grassland, a war broke out between the Uighurs and Xue Yantuo.
Uighur.
Tumidu was very confused when he learned that Xue Yantuo had declared war on him. Although the Uighurs and Xue Yantuo were basically in opposition, the two sides had not really decided to fight to the death before.
He didn't have much time to think about it, because Du Mo Zhi's attack was very fierce, so Tumi Du had no choice but to fight back and sent a general to snipe Tu Mo Zhi. More importantly, he wanted to ask Yi Nan if he was mentally ill.
However, the people under his command said that the Yi man was ambitious and wanted to annex the Uighurs, so he must fight back immediately, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
With the support and encouragement of a group of nobles, Tumidu could only start to fight back.
After the war broke out, Yi Nan was ready to put the idiot Dumo Zhi to death, but he never expected that Dumo Zhi actually colluded with Sijie and had no intention of coming back!
Yi Nan completely understood that this was all a conspiracy of the Tang people!
But he knew it too late. His sons, especially the tyrannical Yimang, had already led the tribe to leave Xueyantuo and prepared to attack the Uighurs.
"You idiots, we have been deceived. Dumozhi has defected to the Tang people. He wants us and the Uighurs to suffer both losses!"
Yi Nan took his sons back and yelled at them one by one.
"Father Khan, it is useless to say this now. Tumido has already dispatched his troops and is coming to kill us."
"Which one of you is willing to explain to Tumidu?" Yi Nan looked at his sons.
However, no one was willing to speak.
Although they felt that what Yi Nan said was reasonable, they still had doubts about whether Tumo Zhi really took refuge with the Tang people.
Therefore, no one dared to see Tumidu at this time.
What should I do if I am killed by Tumidu?
Seeing that no one was willing to accept the order, Yi Nan could only randomly select a son and ask him to explain to Tumidu.
However, contrary to expectations, due to the attack of Dumozhi, Tumidu thought that Yi Nan was going to deal with the Uighurs, so he killed the envoy sent by Xue Yantuo.
After hearing the news, Yi Nan was furious.
"Just hit!"
He did not want to fight, but everyone within Xue Yantuo wanted to fight, and many people were saying that they must fight the Uighurs, and it would be impossible not to fight.
As a result, Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs started a fierce battle in Xilihutu.
Huyan Dudu Mansion.
"Hahaha, good fight."
Qin Qiong and others looked at each other and laughed.
Chai Shao said: "On the Tumozhi side, I have asked Qibi Heli to provide support. There is no need to worry about what Yi Nan will do to him. Now he can only follow us. Even if Yi Nan forgives him, he will not dare to return to Xue Yantuo."
"Well, Tumo Zhi has no retreat now and can only be at our mercy." Yuchi Gong said with a smile.
Watching others fight life and death made him feel very happy.
Comfortable!
Qin Qiong said: "We must pay close attention to their war and tell His Majesty the news at any time. From today on, we will report it every three days and send it back to Chang'an."
"yes!"
After the war broke out between Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs, the two sides were almost indistinguishable in terms of strength, so they fought inextricably.
Coupled with the uncertain position of the Tumo branch, both Xue Yantuo and Uyghur had their concerns.
Xue Yantuo thought of this traitor and would give him a knife.
The Uighurs were worried that the Tumo clan would sneak up on them. In the eyes of the Uighurs, the Tumo clan was the barbarian's vicious dog.
Three days later, news of the outbreak of fighting in the grasslands reached Chang'an.
After Li Zhiyun read the news, he instructed Qin Qiong and others to continue to follow up, and only waited for them to lose both sides before giving them a happy ending.
This time the strategy of provoking Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs to fight is not very clever, the main reason is that there are many people to be bribed.
Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs, many people in these two tribes were secretly bribed by the Tang army and became necessary factors to encourage the two sides to go to war.
Otherwise, just killing a Bazhuo and instigating a rebellion against Tumozhi would not be enough to make Yinan completely lose his mind, and it would be even less likely for Tumidu to start counterattacking without any hesitation.
It can only be said that there is no one in the world who does not understand the Tang Dynasty.
The layout of the grassland has been started very early, with money clearing the way and soldiers and horses threatening the two tribes, Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs are not monolithic.
What happened this time can only be said to have come naturally.
Manna Hall.
Li Chengjing stood in front of Li Zhiyun. His body had changed a lot compared to when he went to the grassland before. The main reason was that his face had become darker. At first glance, he could tell that he had suffered a lot.
"How about the grassland?"
"It's big."
Li Zhiyun laughed and asked again: "Do you still want to go next time?"
Li Chengjing said: "If the father wants my child to go, my child is willing to go."
"Then are you willing?"
"I... don't really want to go." He replied hesitantly.
"Why?"
"I'm not very used to it." Li Chengjing whispered: "I don't know martial arts, and I'm not good at riding a horse. I always feel like I'm useless."
The eldest son has always been like this, and Li Zhiyun is not surprised.
Compared with those smart sons, the eldest son is ordinary. When he was in school, in order to keep up with his studies, he had to work several times harder than others to barely keep up.
Sometimes, Li Zhiyun felt very sorry for him.
"You are my son, the prince of the Tang Dynasty. You must have confidence in yourself." Li Zhiyun encouraged.
Li Chengjing pursed her lips and nodded.
It's not that he doesn't have confidence in himself, he doesn't have confidence in his abilities.
Since he was born, his mother and concubine often blamed him for being useless and not smart. Over time, he also felt that he might not be smart after all.
At this time, a palm fell on his head.
"Father..."
"Don't make such an expression. As long as you work hard to do something, no matter whether you succeed or fail, it will be wealth for you. For example, when you go to the grassland this time, don't you think your riding skills have improved?"
"It seems so." A smile appeared on his face.
"Go see your mother-in-law, she misses you very much."
"Yes, kid, please retire."
After Li Chengjing left, Li Zhiyun sighed. He wanted to encourage this ordinary eldest son, but he couldn't.
As an emperor, you can pamper your daughter, but you cannot care too much about your son, otherwise you are not taking care of him, but harming him.
After thinking about it, Li Zhiyun called Gao Liangzhong.
"The prince of Mayi County performed well on a study tour in the grassland and was rewarded with fifty pieces of silk."
"According to the decree."
After seeing his son, Li Zhiyun began to deal with government affairs again. In the past few days, he had been focusing on matters in the grassland and had accumulated a lot of government affairs.
Even though many government affairs are trivial matters in his opinion, he cannot ignore them. Because once he relaxes, the people below him will relax and even start to cheat. This is not necessary. For the people of the Tang Dynasty, he can only do it.
Can work hard.
Sometimes, Li Zhiyun misses the past, but he has no regrets because this is the path he wants to take.
No matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, he will move forward courageously.
