Chapter 521
It took Lin Xuan a day, his eyes hurt from looking at it, and finally he saw a familiar name - Ashinasheer.
When it comes to famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty, many people think of Li Jing, Li Ji, and Cheng Yaojin.
In fact, Datang is a very inclusive country, and it treats all generals of different races equally.
Among other things, Yu Chigong is from Xianbei, and there are also some foreign generals, whose achievements are not inferior to those of Cheng Yaojin and others.
Ashinasheer is one of them.
Ashinasheer was born in the Turkic royal family, and his father, Chuluo Khan, was once the king of the grassland, powerful and numerous.And Ashinasheer is famous for his wisdom and bravery. He was worshiped as Tuoshe when he was 11 years old.
The so-called Tuoshe means tribal leader in Turkic.After Ashinasheer became Tuoshe, he led the tribal members to build Yazhang in Qibei, and together with Yugushe, the son of Jieli Khan, ruled Tiele, Huihe, Pugu, Tongluo and other tribes.
After the death of Chuluo Khan, Ashinasheer's uncle Jieli Khan came to the throne.There is a custom in Turks to marry a stepmother. Therefore, Jieli Khan married his stepmother, Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty, as his wife after he ascended the throne.
Instigated by Princess Yicheng, Jieli Khan used troops to the Tang Dynasty many times, resulting in heavy casualties and the separation of soldiers.Regarding this situation, Ashinasheer saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.He had advised Jieli Khan many times, but was not accepted by him.
In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Jieli Khan was defeated and captured alive by Li Jing.At this time, civil strife also broke out in the ancient Fancheng where the Western Turks were located.
After the death of Western Turk Yehu Khan, his son Dulu Khan and his brothers competed for the throne, which also brought Ashinasheer an opportunity to take advantage of.He threatened to take refuge in Tuolu Khan, and led his troops westward. After arriving at the ancient Fancheng, he suddenly launched an attack.
Dulu Khan was caught off guard and was defeated. Ashinasheer took the opportunity to advance and occupy Gufan City.Afterwards, he took advantage of the victories and pursued, winning many battles. It didn't take long for him to capture almost half of the territory of Western Turks.Ashinasheer also took this opportunity to proclaim himself Dubu Khan, and his prestige rose greatly, becoming a pivotal force on the grassland.
Ashinasheer can never forget Xue Yantuo's betrayal, and it was because of Xue Yantuo's betrayal that led to the demise of Eastern Turks.
Regardless of the opposition of his subordinates, Ashinasheer fought Xue Yantuo in Qibei for more than 100 days. Because Ashinasheer had a weak foothold and Xue Yantuo had the support of Tang Dynasty, he was finally defeated.
After Ashinasheer was defeated, his strength was greatly reduced. Naturally, the Western Turks would not miss this opportunity to send troops to attack Ashinasheer's tribe.
In desperation, Ashinasheer could only lead some people back to the vicinity of Gaochang, lingering on his last breath.
Later, Ashinasheer could not resist the attack of the Western Turks, and finally surrendered to Datang.
Lin Xuan didn't know when Ashinasheer took refuge in Datang, anyway, he didn't take refuge in Datang now.
And Ashinasheer still has more than 3 soldiers and horses in his hands.
Ashinasheer has been reduced to this point, and the rest are loyal and elite soldiers.
The most important thing is that Ashinasheer is very familiar with the grassland.
If Ashinasheer can be recruited, with the [-] elite cavalry and Xue Rengui's [-] soldiers and horses, there is a lot to do.
It's just that it's not that easy to recruit Ashinasheer.
Judging from the fact that he sent troops to attack Xue Yantuo when he had a firm foothold, he has deep feelings for East Turks.
When the Eastern Turks were destroyed, Datang also had a share. His uncle, Jieli Khan, is still under house arrest by Datang.
Ashinasheer also harbored hatred for Datang in his heart.
If he hadn't been cornered by the Western Turks, it would have been impossible for him to surrender to the Tang Dynasty in history.
Since he was able to take refuge in Datang in history, it is still feasible to surrender.
But now Ashina Sheer has not yet reached the end of the mountain, so if he wants to surrender, he needs to spend some thought.
Lin Xuan is not in a hurry now, this matter needs to be dealt with slowly after he arrives at the border.
On the second day, Lin Xuan dressed neatly and brought a congratulatory gift to the Duke of E's Mansion.
Today is Yuchi Baolin's big wedding day.
As the Duke of the state, Yu Chigong is also Li Shimin's confidant.
Yuchi Baolin is the eldest son, the future Duke of E, his marriage is naturally very lively.
There was a lot of traffic and voices at the entrance of Duke E, and every guest who came had a smile on his face.
"Zichu, you're here, hurry up and sit inside." Seeing Lin Xuan coming, Cheng Chumo pulled Lin Xuan and walked inside.
Today, several of them are the guests, responsible for guiding the guests.
Because it is not sure when Lin Xuan will come back, Lin Xuan was not selected as the guest minister at that time.
After Lin Xuan came back, Yuchi Baolin mentioned it to him, but Lin Xuan refused.
"You sit here and come over when we finish our work." Cheng Chumo said.
"Okay, go get busy."
Lin Xuan sat down, and his servants stepped forward to serve tea.
Lin Xuan picked up the tea and looked around while drinking.
Speaking of marriage in ancient times, he only watched it on TV.
After traveling to the Tang Dynasty, although I have seen a procession to welcome relatives, it is the first time to attend a wedding banquet.
"Next, Wang Ning met the Marquis of Jingyang County."
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy saluted with a warm smile on his face.
"The Wang family?" Lin Xuan frowned.
Wang Ning nodded and said with a smile: "Father Wang Liang, the official worships the servant of the household department."
Wang Liang was the person in charge sent by the Wang family to Chang'an after Wang Duo's death.
I don't know what Li Shimin thought, so he was appointed as the servant of the household department.
Because Li Shimin deliberately suppressed Qiwang of the five surnames, the chief officials of the six ministries did not belong to those families.
It can be said that the ministers of various ministries are already the highest official positions they can hold.
"What's the matter with you?"
Lin Xuan thought Wang Ning was here to provoke him, so his tone was very cold.
"I've always heard about the name of the Marquis of Jingyang County, but I haven't seen it. I'm here this time because I want to make friends." Wang Ning said.
Lin Xuan sneered: "You don't know the relationship between your Wang family and me, do you? Are you here to make friends with me?"
He didn't know what Wang Ning's plan was, and he didn't bother to pretend to be a snake with him.
Wang Ning was not angry because of Lin Xuan's attitude, and said with a smile: "I am not an important person in the family, and the family's grievances cannot be mixed."
Lin Xuan seemed to know what Wang Ning was thinking. The Wang family should have guessed that Wang Duo and his son were killed by him. Wang Ning was afraid that he would do something to him.
"In that case, why did you come to Chang'an?" Lin Xuan asked.
Lin Xuan wondered whether Wang Ning was deliberately showing weakness to the enemy, and wanted to dispel his guard so that he could deal with him.
"I don't want to come either. It's just that the family has regulations. The children of the family must go out for training. My father came to work in Chang'an, so I have to come." Wang Ning said with a bitter face.
As the saying goes: If you are horizontal, you are afraid of being stunned, and if you are stunned, you are afraid of dying.
In his eyes, Lin Xuan was that kind of stunned. For so many years, whoever dared to do anything to people from their family, Lin Xuan did.
I think Wang Ning is also an arrogant son, but how dare he be arrogant with Lin Xuan.
"As long as you don't mess with me, it's fine as long as you don't make friends with me." Lin Xuan said lightly.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether what Wang Ning said was true or not.
But if Wang Ning didn't come to provoke him, Lin Xuan wouldn't bother to pay attention to him.
With so many people in the Wang family, they couldn't kill them all.
Anyway, there is not much time left for the good days of the family.
"Yes, yes, then I will take my leave." Wang Ning left happily.
"Rengui, Zichu is here, you sit here too, just to chat with him."
Cheng Chumo led Xue Rengui over.
