Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Sui Dynasty occupied Gaochang, and its development in the Western Regions entered the fast lane.

    There are three main development routes for the Xizhou Governor's Office in the Western Regions. On the north route, Mengyue, the prefect of Shuanghe County, opened up the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains; on the south route, Gao Zhen, the captain of Xirong, opened up the southern route of the Western Regions in Tansan and Qiemo; and on the middle route, Huang Ming  The southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains were built by Liao himself.

    In fact, the Western Turks are nomadic people, and their main activities are at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and the entire prairie west of the Tianshan Mountains. However, the small countries in the Western Regions at the southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains are mostly agricultural.  The melted snow water from the Tianshan Mountains trickles together to form inland rivers, and the places where these rivers flow form countless oases. Small countries in the Western Regions rely on these oases and have been passed down to this day.

    There were originally dozens of countries in the Western Region. After hundreds of years of annexation and turmoil, there are now only three large countries, Qiuci, Shule, and Khotan, and two small countries, Zhu Jubo and Hepantuo, east of Congling.

    Among the five countries, Qiuci is the most powerful.

    For hundreds of years, there have been countless Guizi countries have destroyed the country. Now they have arrived in Shule, eastward, and north, the north, Tianshan, and the desert in the south.

    If you want to take the south of Tianshan Mountains, you must first kill Qiuci.

    The king of Kucha¡¯s surname is Bai, and his given name is Bai Suniye.  His methods were cruel and his governance was harsh. During the Daye period, he sent envoys to Yang Guang to pay tribute.

    Bai Suni is not too concerned about the Western Turks attacking the Sui Dynasty. After all, if the Western Turks dominate the Western Regions, it will not be a good thing for Qiuci.

    Therefore, when Shekui Khan sent out troops, Bai Suniye only sent Prince Bai Sufa Bohan to lead 3,000 troops, which could only make up the number of people.  When he first learned that the Sui Dynasty had defeated the Western Turks, Bai Suni was very happy. If both sides suffered losses, it would be even more to his liking.

    However, Qin Qiong later led troops and occupied Wulei City in the eastern part of Qiuci Kingdom, which greatly annoyed Bai Suni. The Sui army went too far.

    Bai Suni sent people to Luntai to apologize for participating in the Western Turks' siege of the Sui Dynasty, and asked the Sui Dynasty to return Wulei City.  In order to make the Sui Dynasty forgive, the Kingdom of Qiuci sent a large amount of impressive offerings.

    Huang Mingliao ordered Li Jie to receive the envoys from Qiuci Kingdom.  Xizhou has a very friendly attitude towards Qiuci Kingdom and accepts Qiuci Kingdom's explanation, which of course does not include Wulei City.

    The army that initially stationed troops in Wulei City was mainly composed of Western Turks, so the Sui Dynasty believed that what he was fighting was the Western Turks and had nothing to do with the Qiuci Kingdom.

    The envoy from Kucha was helpless. When Shekui Khan sent troops to station here to stop the Sui army, Kucha did not dare to object and had no choice but to allow the Western Turks to station troops here.  Now the Sui army is like this. They don't dare to offend the Western Turks, how can they dare to offend the Sui army.

    So this is simply a doomed thing.

    Seeing the Sui army taking root in Wulei City, Qiuci had no other choice.  They can only hope that the Sui Dynasty will be kind or die suddenly, and they can take back Wulei City.

    In the first month of the ninth year of Daye, Bai Suni died of illness in Kucha City at the age of fifty-three.

    Bai Suni has ruled the country for thirty years. During his reign, Kucha's power reached its peak.  As the saying goes: "It flourishes and then it declines."  Many dynasties cannot escape this fate.

    When Bai Suni was in power, in order to balance the domestic forces and at the same time fight against the Western Turkic forces in the country, so that he could fully control the power of the country, although he made his eldest son Bai Suva Bohan the crown prince, he also appointed several other sons to divide the country.  Lead each city and serve as an important minister in the country.  When Bai Suni was alive, his sons were still in awe of him, but after Bai Suni died, everyone had little loyalty to his brother Bai Suvabo.

    We are all sons, why should you be the king?

    So everyone organized their own forces to fight against the central government of Qiuci.  First, his younger brother Bailiji occupied Bathuan City (now Aksu City, Xinjiang), the old capital of Yuangumo, and refused to obey the orders; then his other brother Baishubi occupied Weitou's Sede City (now Hara, Aheqi County, Xinjiang).  Qixiang area), openly rebelled.

    Bai Sunizhe has been in power for thirty years, and his sons have each been in business for ten or twenty years. After Bai Suvabolan came to the throne, he was faced with a group of brothers who were eyeing him, and he was unable to take back the divided rights.

    "Although Bai Suvabo is only thirty-four years old, his character is a bit cowardly, his health is not good, and he has no energy and mental strength to reduce the vassal.

    In fact, in the past two years, as Bai Suni's health has deteriorated, he has consciously entrusted important responsibilities to his eldest son. Otherwise, he would not have asked his eldest son to lead the army and accompany Shekui Khan on the expedition last year. After all, no one wants the country to be divided.  However, Bai Sunizhe had too high expectations for his own health. He died too quickly and did not have time to arrange backup plans. This led to the current situation in Qiuci Kingdom.

    The country of Qiuci is controlled by Turkic forces or pro-Turkic ministers, and there are brothers on all sides who are eyeing him. The king Bai Sufa Bohan is like a puppet, which is boring.  heThey are motivated but unable to clean up the mess, so they can only watch the country becoming more and more chaotic.

    At this time, Bai Sufa Bohan's younger brother Bai Duoli saw that his brother was worried all day long, so he advised his brother to take advantage of the opportunity when Shekui Khan was busy quelling the internal rebellion to defect to the Sui Dynasty.

    Bai Duoli is the son of Bai Suni and a Han woman. His status in the country is not high.  Although Bai Duoli himself was a prince of Qiuci, he quickly admired Han culture and gave himself a Han name, Bai Yuande. Yuan was the beginning, virtue was the first, and he determined to become a Han.

    Originally, the Kingdom of Qiuci was controlled by the Western Turks. Even if Bai Yuande wanted to, he was unable to change this situation.  But now that the Western Turks were in chaos caused by the Xue Yantuo tribe, they had no time to take care of Qiuci, so he felt that an opportunity had come.

    When Bai Sufa Bohan heard his brother's words, he felt a little moved in his heart.  He actually had a good impression of the Sui Dynasty. When the Western Turkic Allied Forces were defeated in the Suoshan Mountains, the Kucha Army also collapsed. Fortunately, the Sui Army spared them. Otherwise, the three thousand Kucha Army would have been completely annihilated.  Therefore, Bai Sufa Bohan was somewhat grateful for the Sui army's kindness in not killing.

    Bai Sufa Bohan thought about it again and again, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what his brother said made sense. If he was canonized by the Sui Dynasty and had great righteousness in hand, he would also be able to increase his prestige in the country.  Moreover, the Sui army was good at fighting, and Bai Liji and others would definitely not be able to match it.

    As for the Sui army taking the opportunity to control Kucha, in fact, the current Kucha has Tutun sent by the Western Turks to monitor it, and there are forces that tend to the Western Turks to serve it. Although Kucha is a country, it is  Semi-independent country.

    "If it weren't for the deliberate instigation of the Western Turkic forces, the Qiuci Kingdom would not be in such chaos.

    In Bai Sufa Bohan¡¯s view, the reputation of the Sui army is much better than that of the Western Turks. When the Sui army enters Kucha, no matter how bad it is, it will still be better than the current situation.

    So Bai Sufa Bohan agreed to Bai Yuande's suggestion and ordered Bai Yuande to go to Luntai secretly to see the commander-in-chief of the Sui army and ask for surrender and reinforcements.

    Bai Yuande was overjoyed, so he left the capital and secretly went to Xizhou in the name of hunting.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
