Vol 2 Chapter 1817: To cross the sea without hiding the sky, and finally reach the grassland!

Chapter 1827 I conceal the sky and cross the sea, and finally reach the grassland!
Youzhou is located in the northeast of Chang'an. Together with Jizhou, Yunzhou, and Fengzhou, it has built a strong military barrier for the northern border of Datang. Traveling northward from Youzhou for seventy miles, you will enter the Turkic boundary, and then thirty miles northward, you will be able to reach the Yating of the Turk Khan.
A grassland khan set up his own palace on the border of the Tang Dynasty. This seems to have a lot of unreasonable points, but there are reasons for all this.
Tuli Khan, Ashina's name, Shibobi, son of Shibi Khan. In the second year of Wude, Shibi Khan died of illness, Shi Bobi was not able to succeed Khan because of his young age, and his uncle, Tulifu, was succeeded by Ro Khan. After Chuluo Khan succeeded to the throne, he appointed Shibobi as the Nibu Shi and placed him in the eastern part of the Turkic region (its land borders the northern part of Youzhou in the Tang Dynasty).
In this way, if the Tang Dynasty attacks the Turks in the future, Shibobi’s subordinates will be the first to bear the brunt and can resist Chuluo Khan for a while; if the Turks attack the Datang, Shibobi’s subordinates can act as vanguards and act as a vanguard. Khan charged into battle!
I don't know if Shibi Khan learned that his brother treated his son this way in the spring, would he lift the coffin board with anger. But this is not over yet.
In the four years of Wude, Chuluo Khan passed away, and Shi Bobi another uncle, Duo, succeeded to the throne, which is now Jie Li Khan. After Jie Li Khan ascended the throne, in order to win over the original Shibi Khan’s old ministry, he appointed Shiba Khan as the little Khan, in charge of the Khitan, Mohe and other ministries, named Tuli Khan, but the position of Tuli’s tooth court was not Change, still connected to Youzhou in the south, and located in the east of Turks, became a special "military barrier" between Li Er and Jie Li!
At this time, a caravan was driving on the grassland, and the square they were moving forward was the Ya Ting of Tuli Khan!
There are more than 20 people in this caravan. The leader of the caravan is slightly fat, dressed in a round-necked green satin, with a sash around his waist, and his long hair is not tied up, instead he is tied into pigtails, just like that. Wear it casually, this is a typical Turkic costume!
Look at the twenty-something people behind the businessman. All of them are dressed in coarse cloth and leather clothes, their hair is "braided and draped", and a scimitar is worn around the waist. They all look like Kong Wu powerful!
Obviously, these people are the guards accompanying the merchant!
In addition to people, this caravan is accompanied by more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages, the kind of carriages that specialize in transporting goods, not those that carry people. Through the carriage door, you can see that the carriage is filled with a dazzling array of goods, including silk, porcelain, and household utensils in the boiler.
The caravan was walking on the prairie unhurriedly. Suddenly, a group of sergeants dressed in leather clothes and armour and armed with curved sabers rushed towards this side.
"Stop~!"
The group of soldiers approached the caravan and immediately reined their horses to stop. The lead sergeant made a calm face and shouted and asked, "Who are you?"
As for the language spoken by the sergeant, it is naturally not Chinese, but Turkic!
From the time that Tumen defeated Rouran to establish the Turkic Khanate in 552, until the Baimei Khan was defeated by the Uyghur and retired from the stage of history in 745, the sphere of influence continued to expand for more than two hundred years. The Mongolian Plateau, the Zhungar Basin, and the vast areas of the Central Asian grasslands. As a powerful nomadic people active on the northern grasslands in ancient China, the Turks have had an important influence on the history of China, Central Asia and the world!
In addition, the Turks were the first nomads in ancient China to have their own characters and languages. Like the Huns and Rouran hundreds of years ago, they did not have their own languages ​​and characters, and they all used Chinese characters!

"We are servants of the bones department. On the order of the chief, we have just shipped a batch of Datang specialties from Taiyuan and are ready to sacrifice to the Great Khan!"
Facing the sudden road sergeant, the businessman looked as usual. After looking up and down the more than ten sergeants in front of him, he placed his right hand on his left chest and leaned over to salute. Then he blurted out in a fluent and authentic Turkic dialect. .
What is strange is that this place is clearly the site of Tuli Khan, but the businessman stands on the side of Jieli Khan so clearly, it is really puzzling! Isn't he afraid that these soldiers will kill them all or arrest them all and tie them to the Tuli camp?
However, after hearing the businessman's reply, the sergeants did not have any unusual applications on their faces, and there was no extreme action in their hands. There was even a trace of fear in the eyes of the leading sergeant, but it was quickly covered up, and he looked into the carriage. Looking around, he said, "The Servant Bone Department? What did you transport to Datang? I want to check!"
The businessman smiled and said: "The things on the carriage are nothing more than silk, porcelain, and ironware. If you like it, you can pick a few of them and take them away, as our servant bone department will give them to you! I just don’t know what you are. Which tribe?"
Turning defense into offense, who would have thought that this businessman would turn passive into active!
Hearing that the businessman said that each person could pick a few pieces to take away, there was a hint of greed flashing in the eyes of the dozen or so sergeants. After all, these things that the businessman said were relatively common in Datang, but on the grasslands, none of them Not in short supply!
A trace of greed flashed in the head of the sergeant, but he soon returned to normal. He raised his head and said: "I am a member of the cohort. I will guard this place by the order of the Great Khan. Since these things are dedicated to Dake Sweaty, then we naturally won’t take more... uh, one for one person!"
The Qizhi Tribe, one of the Fifteen Tiele Tribes, is the closest tribe to the Tuli Khan’s Ya Ting, which belongs to the Jili Khan forces! From this point of view, the businessman previously said that he was a servant of the bones, it was an extremely correct decision! Because the Servant Bone Department is near the court of the Turkic King, it is the direct line of Jie Li Khan!
The merchant heard the words and laughed: "It turns out to be a warrior of the consortium. Since it was ordered by the Great Khan, please check these goods!"
After all, he made a "please" gesture.
Seeing that the merchant was so open and on the road, the leading sergeant waved to everyone behind him, saying: "Okay! Since you are friends of the Servant Bone Department, each brother should take an iron tool!"
After the words were over, everyone cheered, and quickly turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the carriage loaded with goods. After a while, some of these people were holding iron pots, and some of them brought up an iron stove. To the nomads living in the grassland Said that these ironware from the Central Plains are very scarce, because the people in the grasslands are not good at making iron, let alone making iron!
Take the iron pot for example, a good iron pot can easily exchange dozens of sheep on the grassland. Some tribes who are poorly mixed cannot use iron pots, so they can only use stone pots!
"Okay! Brothers from the Bone Department, let's go! My name is Qifuhe, you are very angry with me, haha! There are three levels ahead, but you only need to report my name at that time, they will not I am embarrassed! But you must not get close to Khan’s tooth court, or you will be arrested!"
The leading sergeant held a black iron pot and grinned at the businessman with a grin.
From beginning to end, these people just took a piece of iron that they wanted, but they didn't check the goods on the carriage one by one!
The businessman smiled and leaned over to salute: "Thank you brother Qibihe!"
The sergeant named Qifuhe waved his hand, and then left with all his men contentedly.
The businessman paused on the spot for a while, and saw the sergeants walking away, and he said to the guards behind him: "Go! Be sure to get to Turiya Court before dark!"
Chinese!
At this moment the businessman actually spoke Chinese!
"Here~!"
The two dozen guards behind the businessman clasped their fists in unison.
What is even more bizarre is that they are all speaking Chinese at the moment!
It turned out that they were a group of people from the Central Plains who came to the grassland in disguise. It's just that the businessman, who was from the Central Plains, was so fluent in Turkic speaking?
The group set foot on the journey again.
Sure enough, as the Qifuhe said, in the following journey, they encountered three more levels, but the three words "chifuhe" seemed to be useful among these Turkic sergeants. Those Turks who came to search originally The soldier did not embarrass the caravan very much, but the businessman is rich and powerful. Although he did not suffer any difficulties, he still left some iron or silk for the sergeants at various levels, making the sergeants all smiles and threatening to do it again next time. Go to Datang to buy goods, they will definitely not stop it!
"Okay! Next we should be safe!"
After passing the last hurdle, the headed businessman finally sighed in relief and said.
"Hey! Duke Ju, you are really good! Those Turkic soldiers were deceived by you. At the beginning, they will sweat for you in the end!"
Hearing this, all the guards behind the businessman also heaved a sigh of relief. Among them, the leading guard couldn't help looking at the businessman with a look of admiration, and said with emotion.
Duke Ju!
It turned out that this businessman dressed as a Turkic was actually Tang Jian, the prince of Ju, who set out secretly from Chang'an and was ordered to send the Turkic ambassador more than ten days ago!
Who would have imagined that the grand Duke Tang Ju would pretend to be a Turkic businessman and speak fluent Turkic language?
At this time, the rest of the guards also looked at Tang Jian with admiration. This man led them to break through the many levels of Jieli with his own power. It is hard to not admire him!
Tang Jian stood with his hand ~EbookFREE.me~ with a faint smile: "I waited for this time to go to Turkic. I was dancing on the tip of a knife. In the future, we will encounter more dangerous situations than today. If you want to go back alive and be careful about everything, you must be fully prepared when you wait!"
Tang Jian's beard and hair moved with the wind at this time, just like Zhou Yu who was talking and laughing, calm, calm and unrestrained. Such a mentality is almost explosive!
"Yes!"
Everyone responded.
The head of the guard hesitated for a moment, and said: "Duke Ju, there will be one thing at the end of the puzzle. Why did you tell him to say that we belong to the Servant Bone Department? This land boundary belongs to the Tuli Khan. , You said that at the time, you are not afraid that Qi Fu He is a turbulent person and kills us all?"
He understands some Turkic languages, but he is far less proficient than Tang Jian. It was only then that Tang Jian and Qi Fu He had understood some of the conversations. It is precisely because of this that he sweated for Tang Jian!
