The nomadic peoples of the northern desert have always been the confidants of the Central Plains Dynasty, and after the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Rouran, a Turkic clan has arisen during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Relying on their excellent mechanical power, they went south into Kou, plundered everywhere, and often left with one blow, so that the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou countries of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Northern and Northern Dynasties at that time were overwhelmed, and they had to use the means of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, to deal with the Xiongnu to seek peace, that is, to send people and relatives and send money to pay tribute.
▲ Su Rui said in "Several Strategies": "The strength of the ancient Xiongnu is but Mao Dun", and Mao Dun is the bane of Bai Deng's siege of Liu Bang and forcing the Han Dynasty to make peace.
However, although Liu Bang was friendly with the Xiongnu, after all, the military strength of the Han Dynasty was here, and the Xiongnu did not dare to underestimate it, not to mention that Liu Bang and his relatives were only for recuperation, and then during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing, Huo Zhiyi and others immediately beat the Xiongnu to the south, and during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Gu was even more Yanran Leshi and destroyed the Northern Xiongnu in one fell swoop. (In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu split into two parts, the south and the north, and their southward dependent on the Han Dynasty, becoming a vassal state of the Han Dynasty))
▲ Ban Gu was a famous minister of the Han Dynasty, who wrote the "Book of Han", and then followed the great general Dou Xian in the Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu, Yanran Leshi, and like Wei and Huo, he made great contributions in the Han-Hungarian War.
However, between Northern Qi, Northern Zhou and turks, it was different, and it has always maintained a military disadvantage, coupled with years of tribute, so that the Turkic khans at that time once said: "I am always filial to my sons in the south, why do I suffer from poverty?" "(The two children refer to Northern Qi and Northern Zhou) arrogance has come to this point.
Later Yang Jian was granted permission by Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to build Sui and unify the world. Compared with the previous internal strife, how to deal with the foreign Kou of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Yang Jian only had a rebellious attitude towards the Turks, which provoked the Turkic leader at the time, Sha Baoliu Khan, who was extremely dissatisfied with this, and the result was that led by Sha Baoluo Khan, the Turkic khans led an army of 400,000 and invaded the Sui Dynasty in a big way.
▲ Zhu Yuanzhang: However, Emperor Gaozu of sui (Yang Jian) was diligent in his administration, rewarded merit and was stingy, and used an anthony to save the use of anmin, which was called Mercedes-Benz. Those who have the virtue of the king and the merits of the world are also.
A big war was about to break out, but this time Yang Jian's method of dealing with foreign tribes was not to use soldiers, but to use tactics and stray schemes.
At that time, there was a person in the Sui Dynasty, named Changsun Sheng, Tongshu Shi, good at riding and shooting, during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he served as a sergeant of Siwei, and was deeply appreciated by the Former Northern Zhou Emperor, that is, today's Sui Emperor, Yang Jian. In the second year of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sha Baoliu Khan requested to intermarry and kiss with Northern Zhou, and the Northern Zhou Xuan Emperor Yuwen Yun was crowned as the daughter of Yuwen Zhao the King of Zhao as the Princess of Qianjin and married the Turks. For this political marriage, both the Northern Zhou and the Turks were interested in showing their national strength, so they all selected xiao brave men as envoys, and the envoys selected by the Northern Zhou imperial court were dignified and strong in martial arts, and could represent the northern Zhou state, that is, Changsun Sheng.
▲ During the conquest of Sui, Sha Baoliu Khan personally lived in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, saying: "My Zhou family is also relatives, and now the Sui Gong is self-reliant and cannot be controlled. ”
Northern Zhou had sent dozens of emissaries to the Turks, none of whom could receive the courtesy of Sha Baoli Khan, but Changsun Sheng, who was an exception, was deeply loved by Sha Baoli Khan, and after hunting with him, Changsun Sheng kept the Turks for a year. During a safari, Sha Baoli Khan encountered two eagles fighting for meat, so he became very excited, handed two arrows to the accompanying eldest Sun Sheng, and said, "Please shoot them." Eldest Sun Sheng then bent his bow and went away, shooting through the two eagles in one shot. (that is, the origin of killing two birds with one stone) Sha Baoli Khan marveled at his skill, and immediately ordered that the children and nobles of the steppe should be close to Changsun Sheng to learn the art.
▲ In Jin Yong's martial arts novel "The Legend of the Archery Hero", the name of the "Archery Hero" is taken from the protagonist Guo Jing's deeds of killing two eagles with one stone and making a name for himself in the grassland when he was in Mongolia.
Because of the double eagle with one stone, Changsun Sheng's reputation was greatly enhanced, and it also attracted the attention of Chu Luohou, the brother of Sha Baoluo Khan, at that time, Chu Luohou was very popular with everyone, and was jealous of Sha Baoluo Khan, Chu Luohou knew that the situation was not good, and seeing that Changsun Sheng was a talent, he secretly sent his henchmen to secretly ally with Changsun Sheng, that is, the Northern Zhou behind him. Since then, Changsun Sheng has been even more successful in the Turks, and under the pretext of hunting, he has investigated the terrain of the Turkic mountains and rivers, the strength and weakness of the people, the large and small affairs of the Turks, and the political situation.
Later, when Sun Sheng returned to China, he reported the information obtained by the Turks to the chancellor Yang Jian in detail, and Yang Jian was so pleased by this that he was promoted to the rank of Fengche Du Lieutenant. This time the Turks attacked, it was the eldest sun Sheng, who had been lurking in the Turks for a long time, and wrote "Shangshu into the Alienation turkic plan", proposing that Yang Jian use the alienation plan to deal with the Turks.
▲ Although Changsun Sheng's arrow technique is excellent, he is not good at using force, but good at using strategy. Yang Jian once said: "The eldest grandson Lang's martial arts Yiqun are suitable for his words, and they are more than strange. ”
When Changsun Sheng was in turmoil, he knew that although the Turks were nominally led by Sha Baoliu Khan, he and his uncles and nephews such as Datou Khan, Apo Khan, and Tuli Khan were all called Khans. In the Turks, they were separated on all sides, all of them were harmonious in appearance, but in fact they were jealous of each other. Nowadays, they conquered the Sui Dynasty, but it was also difficult to concentrate on it, as long as they took "long-distance and close-range attack, away from the strong and weak" as the benchmark, they could retreat 100,000 soldiers in a few words.
▲The daughter of Changsun Sheng was the wife of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, known as "Empress Changsun", and her son was the first person of the Tang Dynasty's Lingyange Meritorious Service, and the famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, Changsun Wujie.
Yang Jian was deeply impressed by Changsun Sheng's proposal and entrusted this plan to him. The first step of the divisive plan began when Yang Jian sent the servant Yuan Hui out of Yiwu Dao to visit Datou Khan. At the behest of Yang Jian, Yuan Hui specially gave Datou Khan the Wolf Head, and treated him with courtesy, even more than Sha Baoliu Khan. Subsequently, Shabal Khan was at odds with Datou Khan for this result. Changsun Sheng took the opportunity to leave the Huanglong Dao and went everywhere in Luohou to lure him into attaching himself to the imperial court with the old alliance.
Thus, Shabal Khan was isolated.
The second step was when the Turkic army invaded the sui border in the second year of the Kai Emperor, when the Turkic arsonists attacked from Mujiao and Shimen in two ways, plundering Wuwei, Jincheng, Tianshui, Anding, Shangjun, Honghua, Yan'an and other places. Shabal Khan intended to move south, but Datou Khan disagreed and led his troops to retreat. Changsun Sheng took advantage of the situation to persuade Sha Baoli Khan's nephew to dye it dry, and asked him to falsely accuse Sha Baoli Khan: "Tiele and other rebels want to attack your yadi." As a result, Shabal Khan withdrew his troops and became more and more rigid in his relations with the tribes of the clan.
Three years after the opening of the emperor, the Turks once again invaded on a large scale, and Changsun Sheng was clever and dissensionous, first sending people to lure the unfavorable Apo Khan and the Sui Dynasty alliance, ordering them to stay in the army and send envoys to the Sui Dynasty. As soon as this plan came out, Shabaoliu Khan attacked the north tooth where Apo Khan lived, and captured all the people of Apo Khan. For this reason, Apo Khan defected to Datou Khan, and Datou Khan was already at odds with Sha Baoliu Khan because of this previous incident, so the two sides joined forces to attack Sha Baoliu Khan in the east, regained their homeland, and gathered tens of thousands of scattered pawns. After that, the Turks split into two parts, and Datou Khan fought against Sha Baoli Khan for many years, winning more and losing less, so his power increased, while Sha Baoli Khan no longer had the prosperity of the past, and had to send envoys to pay tribute to the Sui Dynasty. In the fifth year of the reign of emperor, Sha Baoliu Khan was no longer able to resist Datou Khan, so he had to ask Sui for peace and domain, and from then on, the northern border of the Sui Dynasty was swept away.
▲ Ye Shi: The eldest grandson Sheng, in the sui dynasty, was able to count the Turks, open up the prosperity and decline, and was inferior to the will, weak and weak, in order to achieve the merits of the north, too Much Wei Huo used a million masters.
After that, Changsun Sheng was ordered by Yang Jian to pass through northern Xinjiang, and was good at using Yi to control Yi and stabilize the affairs of northern Xinjiang of the Sui Dynasty, making Bujia Khan weak, Qimin Khan a vassal, and his prestige spread far beyond Northern Xinjiang. (Bujia Khan is the previous Datou Khan, because the Turks were in chaos for the strategy of Changsun Sheng, in order to save the decline, Datou Khan established himself as Bujia Khan to rectify the tribe) Later, during the Sui Dynasty, the Sui Emperor Yang Guang went out to tour the north of Sai, and Yu Yanmen was surrounded by the Turkic Shibi Khan, and in danger, he could not help but sigh: "If Changsun Sheng is here, why is this?" It can be seen that The merits of Changsun Sheng in maintaining northern Xinjiang are really no less than those of Wei, Huo and other generals.
The famous historian Cai Dongfan once said: "Attacking Yi with Yi is the best strategy for China to control Yi, the reason why Han Banchao made the Xiongnu was here, and the reason why Sui Changsun sheng made the Turks was also here." The Gai people have no relatives, no faith, seduce them for profit, fear for their might, and have not killed each other without being deceived. Sheng Shang wrote a plan, but there were only a few words, and the Yi Yu was already in sight, and after the implementation of the policy, all of them were effective, but they knew that it was not difficult to control the Yi, and it was difficult to control the Yi, and the ears of the people who controlled the Yi. “
