Emperor Taizong of Tang paid a ransom to the Eastern Turkic Khaganate?

Oh! My God! I really don't know where you saw this statement? You have completely mistaken both parties paying the ransom! In 624, when Li Shimin was not yet emperor, he pursued the khan again, and when he reached Binzhou (in present-day Shaanxi Province), he invited the khan to a duel, and the khan, fearful, agreed to an alliance and retreated.In 626, Li Shimin became emperor, and on August 28, he met the khan again on the north bank of the Wei River. Emperor Taizong quickly mobilized troops and horses to prepare to surround the Turks, and during the meeting intimidated the khan, who again gave in, agreed to pay reparations and withdrew his troops. On September 1, the khan sent 3,000 horses and 10,000 sheep to the border as compensation to the Tang dynasty.But Emperor Taizong of Tang did not accept it, believing that these were too little. More than three years later, Emperor Taizong mobilized more than 100,000 troops (about one-fifth of the total number of Tang troops) to attack the Eastern Turkic Khaganate. It took more than three months to destroy the Eastern Turk Khanate, and the khan was captured and placed under house arrest in Chang'an.The materials I read are China's official history books "Zizhi Tongjian" and "New Book of Tang". Since this information will be restricted by the firewall when reading, so here I will only provide the name, of course, if you can understand the Chinese I don't mind taking screenshots or taking photos as a basis, I hope to help you. 李双能 (talk) 15:57, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
