Section 3 Reunion of the Eight Khitan Tribes
plug next song
Tang Dynasty: Li Yi
The tribes of Fanzhou can end and hunt the meanders of the Yellow River day and night.
The song of Yan has not stopped, Hongfei is blocked, and the herds of horses are neighing and the grass is green.
The Great Wall built by the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, and Wu of the Han Dynasty went north to Shan Yutai.
In ancient times, there were endless battles and captives, but today the heavenly armies are coming again.
The Yellow River flows to the east at 90%, but when will the hatred in the battlefield be extinguished?
Cai Yan did not go to make Hujia, but Su Wu came back to celebrate the Han Festival.
In return for protecting the heroes, the Xiongnu will not go down to the clouds.
Please send me a letter to block the rocks on the Yin Mountain in the north. I hope you will be as good as Yan Ran in chariot and riding skills.
The Khitan people have always believed that the eight tribes of Khitan are all descendants of gods and goddesses. After nearly half a century of separation, they still feel that blood is thicker than water, which further strengthens their courage and confidence in reuniting.
But this was not easy. Various other tribes struggled to survive under the tyrannical power of local rulers, let alone the various tribes getting back together. But God blessed the Khitan, and it didn't take long for the southern regime to undergo earth-shaking changes. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty unified Yang Jian
As the Sui Dynasty became increasingly powerful after its unification, the Khitans who were captured by the Northern Qi Dynasty realized that this regime was much more prosperous than the Northern Qi Dynasty and even the Northern Wei Dynasty. Therefore, they decided to surrender to the Sui Dynasty. Mofu sent an envoy to come
The Sui Dynasty expressed their demands. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was very happy after hearing this and immediately allowed them to return to their original place to live. The Khitan people who moved eastward helped the old and young, and drove their cattle and horses back to their familiar land. Those who were killed by the Turks
After the ruling Khitan people learned of this situation, they couldn't bear the excitement in their hearts. They also broke away from the Turkic rule and returned to their homeland.
However, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty did not agree with the return of this part of the Khitans to their homeland. The main reason was that the country had just been unified and the strength of the Central Plains had not yet recovered. It was not appropriate to make enemies of the powerful Turks at this time. Su En gave these Khitans ample food and returned them to their homeland.
I personally wrote a letter to the Turkic Khan, asking him not to embarrass these other people.
After the edict was issued, this part of the Khitan people firmly refused to return to the Turks, and finally had to compromise.
After the reunion, the eight Khitan tribes decided to form a tribal alliance in order to prevent another split, with the Dahe clan as the leader of the alliance. From then on, the Khitan tribe entered the period of the Dahe clan alliance.
The good times did not last long, and Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty Yang Jian passed away. Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty who succeeded him was cruel and tyrannical, leading to great chaos in the world. At this time, Turk Qimin Khan died, and his son Shibi Khan succeeded to the throne.
Under the leadership of the Khan, the Khitans became increasingly powerful. Considering their own interests, the Khitans decided to return to the Turks.
The Turks soon became the overlords of the grasslands, but changes occurred in the Central Plains. The Tang Dynasty replaced the Sui Dynasty. The strength of the Tang Dynasty continued to increase, and the Khitans were shaken again.
As a small political power in the middle, the Khitan did not dare to offend anyone and could only please both sides. However, they were not satisfied with the status quo, so they often invaded the borders of the Tang Dynasty and sometimes resisted the rule of the Turks.
The Tang Dynasty also intended to win over the Khitans and wanted them to help them deal with the powerful Turks. However, at this time, the Khitans still had doubts in their hearts and were afraid that if they made the wrong choice, it would cause the tragedy of that year.
However, as time went by, the Tang Dynasty continued to grow stronger. At this time, the leader of the Khitan tribe, He Duluo, sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to test. From then on, the exchanges between the Khitan and the Tang Dynasty became frequent.
After Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, became emperor, he first gave the Khitan leader war drums and flags, and then gave him a national surname. However, these things still did not dispel the doubts of others. In the end, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had to make a big move.
The military rule of the Songmo area was handed over to the Khitans. After weighing the pros and cons, the Khitans happily accepted the rewards from the Tang Dynasty and formally surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
Life insights: There is a brain teaser question:
An under-inflated hot air balloon carries three scientists who are related to the survival of mankind. The first is an environmental expert, whose research can protect the human living environment from pollution. The second is an atomic expert, who has the ability to prevent
A nuclear war breaks out around the world. The third person is a food expert. He can make food grow in barren land and save tens of millions of people from famine. At this moment, the hot air balloon is about to crash, and one person must be dropped to reduce the load. Excuse me, who should be dropped?
Which one will come next?
