Due to the delicate balance between several forces, the Tiger Alliance was able to control Huaihuang City and the Bashang Grassland for several years.

But now, this balance has been broken.

After more than ten years of rest and recuperation, the Eastern Turks had recovered from their strong strength. This also led to the Sui Dynasty changing its strategy against the Eastern Turks. When Mohe took advantage of the banner of Sui to defeat the Western Turks and captured Abo Khan of the Western Turks alive, the Sui Dynasty had already changed its support for the Eastern Turks. Instead of killing Abo directly as the Eastern Turks, they released Abo to restrain the recovery and expansion of the Eastern Turks. This made the Eastern Turks very unhappy, but fortunately there was

The brave and resourceful Mohe Khan died in the subsequent Western Expedition. The Eastern Turks replaced Yong Yulu, who was once considered too weak by Shaboluo Khan. Yong Yulu was the son of Shaboluo Khan and Mohe's nephew. At that time, Shaboluo did not pass the Khan throne to his son Yong Yulu but to his younger brother Mohe, thinking that this son was too weak. Now Mohe passed the Khan throne to his nephew Yong Yulu, and Yong Yulu succeeded to the Dulan Khan, which made the Sui Dynasty feel relieved. The already fierce conflict slightly eased, and the Tiger Alliance was able to continue to control Huaihuang for several years.

But at this time, although Du Lan Khan was not a hero, he had no war for many years, and the Eastern Turks became inevitably stronger. Especially when Yang Jian forced Du Lan to kill his stepmother, Princess Kehe Dun, the Qianjin, which made the relationship between Du Lan and the Sui Dynasty even more tense. Princess Qianjin was the daughter of Zhao Wang Yuwen Zhao, King of Northern Zhou. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Tuobo Khan asked to marry Princess Northern Zhou, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty decided to marry Princess Zhao Yuwen Zhao, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty appointed the daughter of Princess Zhao, the daughter of Princess Zhao, and the title of Princess Qianjin. However, before he got married, he Bo Khan died. The newly ascended Sha Boluo Khan sent an envoy to marry Princess Qianjin. In the second year of the marriage of Princess Qianjin, Yang Jian usurped the throne of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Princess Qianjin's father Yuwen Zhao was killed because of his uprising against the Sui Dynasty.

The princess of Qianjin asked Sha Boluo to send troops to avenge him. Sha Boluo was the lord of the Turks at this time, and also regarded the Sui Dynasty that unified the north as a confidant, so she raised an army of 400,000 to attack the Sui Dynasty on the excuse that he was a relative of the Yuwen clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Yang Jian adopted the suggestion of Changsun Sheng. The Sui Dynasty's plan of divisiveness achieved great success. Sha Boluo's Khan's uncle and nephew rebelled one after another, and Sha Boluo was attacked from both sides and was in trouble. The Turks were caught in civil war. The Sui Dynasty took the opportunity to launch the eight-root army to counterattack Sha Boluo and joined forces with several other Turks to defeat Sha Boluo. The Turks were divided into two. There were six khans in the East and West Turks. They were divided into two alliances and five Khans were divided into separatist forces. At that time, Sha Boluo was surrounded by enemies, and the rest of the Turks attacked, and the Sui Dynasty in the south only focused on Sha Boluo and attacked one by one.

At this time, Sha Boluo had to ask Princess Qianjin to write a letter to Yang Jian, asking to be the daughter of the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty. Yang Jian felt that the Sui Kingdom was finally established and the Turks were still strong, so he followed the flow and took over the situation to take over the daughter of the Qianjin Princess Qianjin Princess and changed his title to Princess Dayi. In this way, Sha Boluo immediately changed from a son-in-law of the Yuwen family in the Northern Zhou Dynasty to a son-in-law of the Yang family in the Sui Dynasty, so naturally he no longer had to avenge the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He admitted his cowards to the Sui Dynasty and relied on the Sui Dynasty to deal with the attacks of the other Khans of the Turks with all his strength.

In the seventh year of Kaihuang, Sha Boluo died. According to the customs of the Turks, she remarried to Sha Boluo's son. Mohe Khan died for only one year, Du Lan succeeded the Khan throne, and the daughter of the daughter became Kehe Dun of the Eastern Turks. In the ninth year of Kaihuang, after Yang Jian destroyed Chen, he gave the Qianjin Princess a bronze mirror used by Chen Houzhu. As a result, the princess was sad for a moment and wrote a poem on the screen. The writing skills in this poem are quite good, so it has been passed down. There is a line in the poem "I am a royal son drifting into the barbarian court." I don't know whether the "barbarian court" in the princess' poem refers to the Turks or the Sui Dynasty, or both, but Yang Jian believed that it refers to the Sui Dynasty. Princess Dayi actually dared to describe the Sui Dynasty so unbearable, and her national hatred and family hatred were so strong. Yang Jian was furious and thought that Princess Dayi might incite Du Lan Khan to declare war with the Sui Dynasty at any time, and he decided to get rid of this hidden danger.

By the 13th year of Kaihuang, a Han man who wandered to the Turks, Yang Qin, said: He was the confidant sent by Princess Xihe, the aunt of Princess Xihe. Princess Xihe and her husband planned to jointly send troops with the Turks to destroy the Sui Dynasty and restore the country. Princess Dayi, who was eager to take revenge, believed it and persuaded Du Lan Khan to agree to send troops. Yang Jian learned about this soon and sent Changsun Sheng to the Turks to capture Yang Qin. Although Du Lan Khan refused to admit it, Princess Da Yi also scolded the Sui envoy, Yang Jian took the opportunity to issue an edict to abolish Princess' title of Princess Da Yi.

In order to eliminate future troubles forever, the Sui Dynasty began to contact the little Khan Rangan, the north of the Eastern Turks, saying that as long as Princess Dayi could be removed, the Sui Dynasty would marry a princess to him. Rangan was the son of Mohe Khan, who ruled the northern part of the Eastern Turks. He was also a powerful prince. He had ambitions and wanted to get the support of the Sui Dynasty to replace Du Lan. After receiving the promise of the Sui Dynasty, he sent people everywhere that Princess Dayi and a Han Chinese in the Khan Court had an affair. This incident was rumored to be very popular. Finally, when he heard the rumors, Du Lan, who rushed into Princess Dayi's tent with his sword and killed her directly.

However, Du Lan soon regretted it again and knew that the matter was behind the scenes of the Sui Dynasty. Ran Gan did it, so he became resentful to the Sui Dynasty.

The Yangan design removed the Dayi Princess. The Sui Dynasty fulfilled its promise. Not only did it marry the clan daughter to Yangan, but it also made the matter very grand and gave it to Yangan.

Du Lan became more and more angry, which led to the incident of gathering troops from various departments to commit crimes last year.

This matter seems to have nothing to do with the Tiger Alliance, but on the border, the game between the Sui Dynasty and Dulan Khan is directly related to the survival of the Tiger Alliance. At that time, the Tiger Alliance was able to occupy Huaihuang and control the Bashang grasslands because of the "friendly relationship" between the Turks and the Sui Dynasty. Because the Eastern Turks depended on the Sui Dynasty, they were tolerant and ignored the nail laid on their territory. But now Dulan has turned against the Sui Dynasty, so how could he continue to tolerate the Tiger Alliance occupying such an important place as Huaihuang and controlling the Bashang grasslands with abundant water and grass?

The coveting of the Baye Gu people is just a prelude, and the biggest crisis of the Tiger Alliance will come from the Eastern Turks.

Once Du Lan wants to pull out their nails, they may face a catastrophe at any time.

Under such circumstances, if the Tiger Alliance is still trapped in the internal struggle for power and profit, there is no hope.

Time is tight, and Ling Yun has no time to take his time with Zhang Sheng and others. He uses fierce medicine to seriously ill. Only by quickly eliminating the opposition forces of the Tiger Alliance, uniting all the forces of the Tiger Alliance, and then relying on the Sui Dynasty behind the Great Wall, can he survive the following storm. Although Ling Yun can ignore the Tiger Alliance and even leave.

But he couldn't leave, not only because the Tiger Alliance was once where he fought, but also because there were many brothers and friends who had fought side by side here before. What's more important is that Ling Yun's mood changed a lot after Yang Guang gave Ji Yao to others. This made him deeply understand that in this era, he still had to have his own strength. Without strength, he would have no right to speak. He had no strength, so Yang Guang could give his women to others at will. He had no strength, so his peaceful life in Yangzhou was broken.

If you want to have the right to speak, you must have strength.

For Ling Yun, the Tiger Alliance is the place where he accumulates strength. If he misses, there will be no next one. He cannot give up the Tiger Alliance, and cannot escape and retreat.

The Tiger Alliance has territory and people, and as long as you use snacks, it can become your biggest support. For those who block the way, Zhang Sheng and others, he can only make up his mind.

Originally, the Gao family was also a considerable force, but the Gao family's territory was in Liaodong and was actually dependent on the Goguryeo people. It was difficult to develop there, and in the Gao family, he was just a son-in-law, which was far inferior to the situation in the Tiger League.

Ling Yun frowned slightly and stared at the northeast direction. Zhang Sheng was about fifty miles away from them.

Ling Hengyue and Liu Ge stood behind Ling Yun, but they wanted to speak but stopped.

Ling Yun turned around, "Tell me what you want to say."

Ling Hengyue looked at Ling Yun and said for a while: "The two thousand people who followed Zhang Sheng were all brothers in the alliance."

Ling Yun sighed lightly, "I didn't mean to ask my brothers to die, otherwise I wouldn't have led everyone all the way."

Liu Ge frowned, "Why did the leader of the alliance ask Zhang Sheng to lead the troops..." Shan Xiongxin and other internal military generals were not from the Tiger Alliance, so they didn't care about the lives and death of Zhang Sheng and others. Although Liu Ge was a general of the Murong family, they were also an old man in the alliance. They could ignore the lives and death of Zhang Sheng and others, but they could not ignore the two thousand people who followed Zhang Sheng to send troops. They also guessed that Ling Yun was going to kill people with a knife, so as to get rid of Zhang Sheng and others, but they could not sit idly by and watch Ling Yun ruin the other brothers together.

"What exactly do you want to say in the right envoy?" Ling Yun asked.

Liu Ge mustered up his courage and said loudly: "Leader, I know that Zhang Sheng and others have always opposed the leader. If the leader wants to get rid of Zhang Sheng and others, we have no objection. But those brothers are innocent. These are brothers for many years, and they live and die side by side."
