    ??Above the desert, white snow is flying, and the grassland is covered in silver.  The wind roars and whines loudly, which is very sad and makes people feel sad to hear it.

    Li Ling wrote in "Reply to Su Wushu" that "the land is covered with black ice, and the soil on the edges is cracked, but you can hear the sound of sad wind and depression", which is the best portrayal of the vast desert in winter.

    The footpaths were covered with snow, and no one came out to move around on the grassland. The herdsmen spent the winter in their tents, drinking horse water to relieve the cold.

    The royal court of the Later Turks is located. The tents are connected and stretch for more than ten miles, which is quite spectacular.  However, the snow this year was so heavy that many tents collapsed, and many soldiers were braving the cold wind to clean them up.

    Among the many tents, there was a huge tent, the royal tent where the Turkic Khan sipped silently.

    The elderly Mo Chui was dressed in a desert fox fur, leaning against the fire. On the tables in front of him were roast mutton and steaming horse meat.  The silver knife was waved, and a large piece of mutton was cut off. He stuffed it randomly into his mouth, chewed it, then picked up the golden bowl and sucked the hot horse's semen.  A hot stream of heat enters the throat, which is particularly refreshing.

    Putting down the golden bowl in his hand, he silently glanced at the courtiers in the tent and asked: "The snow has fallen very hard this year. It has only been snowing for two days and it is already so thick. Based on my many years of experience, it will snow again in the future."  If it gets bigger, many cattle, sheep and horses will freeze to death. What do you think, how will we live in the future?"

    "Khan, what's there to say? Of course I'm going to rob the Tang Dynasty!" A general answered without thinking.

    "Who told the Tang people to be rich but weak? They are our inexhaustible storehouse!" Another general said disdainfully.

    Since ancient times, the nomadic peoples in the desert have regarded the farming and subsistence China as their inexhaustible warehouse. This is true for the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turks, and the Khitan and Jurchen in later generations.

    This is an everlasting law!

    The only thing that changes is whether China is strong and has the power to fight back.  If China is strong and powerful, even the Xiongnu will be defeated.  If China is in decline, even if the Song Dynasty created countless wealth, the wealth of the Song Dynasty is still greater than that of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but its martial arts is weak, and it is just used as wedding clothes for others, taking advantage of foreign races such as the Khitan and Jurchen.

    Whenever heavy snowfalls cause snow disasters and a large number of cattle and sheep freeze to death, the nomadic people on the grasslands will go south to invade, kill and kidnap border residents, and rob property.

    ¡°Snowstorms as big as this year¡¯s are rare in post-Turkic history, and Mo Chuo had to deal with them early.

    "You are talking lightly, how can the three surrendered cities of the Tang Dynasty be surpassed?" A rather old minister asked in return.  This man was Duoxipeng, the younger brother of Mochu Khan, who was worshiped as Zuoxiangchao.

    "This" Everyone was speechless for a moment.

    After a moment of silence, someone immediately shouted: "Is it possible that we will starve to death?"

    "You can survive by fighting?" Du Xipeng asked again.

    ¡°That¡¯s better than just sitting there and waiting to die!¡± someone shouted again.

    ¡°If you want to die, you must die on the way to fight against the Tang people. You must not starve to death or freeze to death!¡± The generals immediately agreed.

    "Khan, what do you think we should do?" Duo Xipao couldn't convince the crowd, so he had to ask Mochu for help.

    Mo Chui glanced at the ministers, picked up the hot horse and started drinking. The ministers immediately stopped eating and drinking, stared at him, and waited for his instructions.

    After a while, Mo Chuu put down the golden bowl and said slowly: "If we don't fight, we will just sit and wait for death. This is not what we Turkic heroes should do! If we fight, the three surrendered cities of the Tang Dynasty will lie in front of us.  We have nothing to do, this matter is really difficult to have both ways!"

    What is Shoujiang City?  Why are the post-Turkic people so afraid?  This has to start with the founding of the post-Turkic state.

    In 630 AD, Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night and destroyed the lair of Jieli Khan. As a result, Jieli Khan was captured alive, and the Eastern Turks were declared destroyed.  The demise of the Eastern Turks was a major event, which shocked the desert and caused all the Turkic tribes on the grasslands to surrender and submit to the Tang Dynasty.  In order to manage the northern border, the Tang Dynasty established a number of Dufufu, which were under the jurisdiction of the Yanran Duhufu.

    ??The Yanran Protectorate was also later the Anbei Protectorate. Its administrative seat was Shanyutai, now near Hangjinhou Banner in Inner Mongolia.  At that time, the area under the jurisdiction of the Yanran Protectorate was very vast, including what is now the north of the Uga River in Inner Mongolia, the entire territory of Outer Mongolia, the Irtysh River, the upper reaches of the Yenisey River, the Angara River and Lake Baikal in Russia.

    We all know that the poet Li Bai was born in the Lake Baikal area and later moved to Jiangyou, Sichuan.  It is precisely because of this that some Russians believe that Li Bai should be Russian, not Chinese.  It's easy to refute him, just ask him whether Shixian wrote Tang poetry or Russian poetry.

    ?bsp;"Yes, Khan!" Many people agreed.

    He silently clapped his hands and said, "Brother Hussein, please!"

    As soon as the order came out, footsteps sounded soon after, and a tall Hu Hu man walked in, saluted Mo Chui and said, "I've seen the Khan!"

    "Brother Hussein, please sit down!" Mo said with his right hand and pointed to the seat.  Hussein thanked him and sat down.

    The generals looked at this big-eating barbarian and wondered why.  Mo Chui glanced at the ministers and then said: "This brother Hussein is the envoy sent by the Caliph of Great Eclipse. Brother Hussein, please tell me about the gift that the Caliph sent to me."

    "Yes, Khan!" Hussein responded with a loud voice: "Our Caliph of Dashi and Mechu Khan are friends and brothers. He sent me to give Khan Mochu a hundred ivory and tortoiseshell  ¡­¡±

    Mo Chui interrupted him and said, "Brother Hussein, let's not talk about these frivolous things. Let's talk about some practical treasures."

    "Khan, you are such an interesting person and a capable person!" Hussein gave a thumbs up and praised: "These things are valuable and many people like them. Only you, Khan, don't like them."

    Mo Chu corrected him: "It's not that I don't like it, it's because these things can only be looked at and played with, and are not as useful as swords and guns. We Turks just like swords and guns!"

    Hussein gave a thumbs up again and praised: "Khan, to borrow the words of the Tang Dynasty, Khan is a promising king! Only a promising king would think so!"

    He said with a smile: "Brother Hussein, I appreciate your praise. I am a Turk, not a Tang Dynasty!"

    "I made a mistake, I made a mistake, please forgive me Khan!" Hussein couldn't help but nodded and said: "Our lord the caliph gave Khan five thousand Damascus knives and fifty thousand catties of iron. Khan, do you want me to say this?"

    "That's right!" She nodded silently and said to the ministers: "You have all heard that the Caliph of Dali not only gave us weapons, but also asked Brother Hussein to tell me a message: Now that Tubo is gone, we can't  Let the Tang people free up their hands! We, the Turks, will contain the northern side of the Tang Dynasty, and the Great Food Empire will fight in the western regions. In this way, when the two sides of the Tang Dynasty go to war, they will not be able to support each other. If we don't take this opportunity to attack the surrendered city, we will have to wait until  What time?"

    In order to fight against the powerful Tang Dynasty, Tubo, Post-Turk and Dashi colluded with each other and worked together.  Now that Tubo is gone, Dashi and the Post-Turks must be anxious, and they are getting closer.

    They must take advantage of it before the Tang Dynasty frees up its hands!

    "In the spring of next year, after the ice and snow melt, we will immediately raise our troops and go south to attack Shuangcheng!" Mo Chuo said at the end.

    "Attack Shujiang City! Destroy the Tang people!" The officials cheered.  (To be continued. If you want to know about the funeral, please log on to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author and support genuine reading!) (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
