Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 894: Studying!hear!

After the army rested for a day, Qin Wenyuan sat in the middle army and ordered Su Dingfang to lead the army to pursue the remnants of the enemy as the former army commander.

Su Dingfang got the order and led his troops to travel another two hundred li, beheading the enemy troops and capturing countless armored tents along the way.

Qin Wenyuan led most of the Tang army, including Ashina Mishe and Ashina Buzhen, with Qin Xiaole as the vanguard, and the whole army marched through the snow to the vicinity of the "Golden Mountain" Shaboluo Yazhang to form an attacking trend.

Besides, Shaboluo Khan Ashina Helu, since he led his troops to fight the Tang army, has fought well at the beginning of the war, especially when he defeated Liu Rengui's rear army and surrounded Su Dingfang's troops. Thinking, self-righteously imitating the strategy of the Tang people to encircle and attack the besieged army, but only concentrate on attacking the besieged army, and the result of the battle will be greatly beneficial to the future situation of the Western Turkic Army.

It's a pity that Ashina Helu carelessly underestimated the enemy. First, because the Nishu tribe surrendered to the Tang army and led Qin Xiaole's forward army to kill a part of the Western Turkic army to escape the Tang army, that's all. Standing firm in Hexi in "Yihe", with the strength of the Tang army less than half, the Western Turkic army can still confront the Tang army without being killed and fleeing with only a few hundred cavalry.

This second defeat should have attracted the attention of Sabolo Khan Ashina Helu, but unexpectedly, he thought that the Tang army could not continue to pursue the Western Turkic army in the snow and bad weather, let alone break through to his old lair "Jinshan". On the front line, under such careless and underestimating the enemy's thoughts, this guy is still in the mood to order the generals around him to hunt and have fun with him, he really doesn't know how to live or die.

After Qin Wenyuan led his army to join the former army Su Dingfang, seeing that the Western Turkic Army was unprepared, he laughed at Sabolo Khan for wanting to die, and ordered the army to gather drums to send out a signal to attack the enemy.

Tang Jun heard the sound of drums and launched an attack. Su Dingfang and Qin Xiaole each led their troops to take the lead. The two entered the enemy's barracks as if they were in no one's land. They killed countless enemies with long spears and halberds. Kill Buddha.

Su Dingfang and Qin Xiaole led two groups of cavalry to suddenly attack the enemy camp, and the tens of thousands of Western Turkic troops stationed around Shaboluo Khan's tooth tent were caught off guard by the sudden chaos in the camp. When Qin Wenyuan's tens of thousands of infantry advanced in formation, most of the enemy troops were caught in a dilemma. In the chaos, they were kicked to death and injured by their own horses rushing east and west.

During the chaos, Shaboluo Khan got his son Xi Yuan and his son-in-law Yan Chuo to lead his troops to protect him, and made a bloody way to escape in the direction of "Stone City".

After the tragic battle, seeing that the Western Turkic Army was powerless to resist, Qin Wenyuan sent an order to stop the killing. In this battle, the Western Turkic Army once again captured tens of thousands of soldiers.

Since then, the battle between the Tang army and the Western Turks has been victorious across the board, leaving the Western Turks with no more soldiers to fight.

Seeing that the situation was already in the hands of the Tang army, Qin Wenyuan sent an order to cease the fighting, and sent an order in the tent of the Chinese army to bring the captured chiefs of the Western Turkic tribes.

The chiefs of the Western Turkic tribes were escorted into the tent of the Chinese army by the soldiers of the Tang army with anxiety.

Seeing the captives being escorted into the tent, Qin Wenyuan smiled and waved back the soldiers, causing the chiefs to stand in the tent. The brief silence made the atmosphere in the tent solemn and dignified.

This is the desired effect of Qin Wenyuan, but when the superiors face the opponents who have already failed, they will defeat these once invincible leaders with such a solemn atmosphere.

Seeing that the fire in the army tent was almost ready, Qin Wenyuan said solemnly.

"Ashina Helu's troops harassed the frontiers of the Tang Dynasty with self-respect, provoked war for no reason, burned, killed and looted the people on the border of the Tang Dynasty. His crime of rebelling against the Tang Dynasty is unforgivable. Killing, if you can swear to be loyal to the Tang court, this king can let you go back to where you live."

Hearing Qin Wenyuan's words, the chiefs of all the ministries relaxed and knelt down in unison to swear allegiance to the Tang court, and a respected leader of the Western Turkic tribe spoke respectfully.

"Prince Qi's reputation of treating the people of all ethnic groups as one is really well-deserved. I think we have repeatedly committed crimes against the Tang Dynasty. The crime is not light. The kindness of the prince's innocence, we will definitely remember it in our hearts."

After that, the chiefs saluted respectfully again.

Qin Wenyuan waved his hand to silence the crowd, and then said.

"This king wishes that people of all ethnic groups should live in harmony and focus on the development of people's livelihood. You and other tribes fight every year to make people's livelihood difficult. It will only hurt the tribesmen and do no good. The king's cessation of war is just for your sake. The road to the west Since ancient times, it has been the only way to connect the East and the West. If you are all committed to the development of the people's livelihood and restraining your own people to make a living, then the prosperity of the Western Regions is just around the corner. Today, the king decides to let you go. You should see the situation clearly and recuperate. , those who don’t listen to the advice, don’t blame this king for his cruel-hearted strategy of cutting weeds and roots in the Western Regions.”

After saying this, Qin Wenyuan ordered the soldiers to return the property and livestock looted by Ashina Helu to their original owners, so that the ten surnames of the Western Turks could live in peace. The area was designated to allow the people in the Western Regions to resume production and work. The series of people's livelihood measures were supported by all tribes in the Western Regions.

After disposing of the military administration in the Western Regions, and after the chiefs of the various ministries and their tribes returned to their former residences, Qin Wenyuan ordered Xiao Siye to lead his troops to continue to pursue the remnants of Khan Shaboluo, and ordered the army to rest for a whole day and return to the court.

In this battle, Qin Wenyuan used the strategy of dividing the Western Turks and focusing on strikes, and adopted the strategy of attacking and defending, counterattacking in time, and fighting continuously, winning more with less, and finally won a big victory.

After the victory, Qin Wenyuan made the military and government of the Western Regions continue to follow the policy of governing the Northeast, and used the means of "using the barbarians to control the barbarians" and "giving kindness and power together" to make the foreign people submit. After that, the erosion of politics, economy, and culture will change people's thinking, and educate the people to form a unified belief, so that the court can gain a stable rule. Of course, in this series of methods, he will not use the strategy of fooling and weakening the people , but to let the people really benefit and make them submit to the ruler because of their support.

On the way of the army's class division, Qin Wenyuan got Xiao Siye to send someone to report that Shaboluo Khan was captured by Shi Guo people and had been led to the army for detention.

With this good news, after Qin Wenyuan returned to the imperial court, he suggested that the imperial court set up "Kunling" and "Mengchi" in the Western Regions to manage the people of the ten surnames of the Western Turks respectively.

Li Zhi accepted Qin Wenyuan's suggestion and decreed to set up two guard yamen in the Western Regions to manage the military and political affairs of Western Turks.

So far, the Tang Dynasty has finally unified the entire territory of Western Turks in an all-round way.

In the third year of "Xianqing" in the Tang Dynasty, Ashina Helu was sent to the capital of Chang'an. When he was approaching the city, he talked to Xiao Siye who escorted him.

"I was originally a captive. The late emperor treated me very well, but I betrayed the late emperor. If I am angry and punished today, the king of Qi will lead his troops to destroy it. I have nothing to say. I heard that the law of the Han people is that murder must be done in the city." , I beg to die in Zhaoling, so that I can be punished by the late emperor."

Xiao Siye reported Ashina Helu's words to the emperor Li Zhi. Li Zhi heard about it and summoned courtiers to discuss in the Taiji Hall, and Xu Jingzong was ordered by Zhongshu to play out.

"Your Majesty, I have only heard that the ancient army can go to the ancestral temple to make sacrifices in triumph, and the enemy's head is offered to the emperor. I have never heard of the enemy's head being offered in the mausoleum. I think that if His Majesty is merciful, it can also make Ashina He Lu accepted the punishment in the ancestral temple to comfort the late emperor's heroic spirit."

Li Zhizhun played, and the envoy sent Ashina Helu to Zhaoling to pray to the late emperor to pacify the Western Turkic event. He read that this guy pleaded guilty in the late emperor's mausoleum and had a heart of repentance. Li Zhi ordered to keep this guy's life and give the mansion to the Live in Chang'an City.

A year later, Ashina Helu died in Chang'an, and Li Zhi ordered his body to be buried beside the tomb of East Turkic Jieli Khan.

In the third year of "Xianqing" in the Tang Dynasty (658), after the Tang Dynasty pacified the Western Turkic War, the imperial court would naturally reward those who had made great contributions in this war.

On this day, after the officials in the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace paid homage to the emperor, there was an imperial scholar in the imperial court to honor the meritorious ministers in the hall. Qin Wenyuan was the first to bear the brunt of it. He was awarded the title of Great General of the Tang Dynasty by the imperial court, and he can ride horses in the imperial palace. It is an extremely honorable honor .

Su Dingfang named Xing Guogong and Zuo Wuwei General, and exercised the responsibility of comprehensive military defense of the "Tubo" country.

Because Cheng Yaojin took the post of the general of the Congshan Road marching army, he failed to complete the crusade against Ashina Helu, so he was not rewarded or punished, and he still served as the general of the left guard.

Qin Xiaole has made great achievements in military affairs since he was just a fledgling, and the emperor specially ordered him to be the fourth-rank guard with a sword in the palace, and was awarded the military post of captain of light chariots and rewarded him with gold armor and weapons.

The rest of the meritorious generals were promoted to a higher level and rewarded with a large amount of gold, silver, silk and satin.

Afterwards, the emperor sent a decree to hold a grand banquet in the Ganlu Hall to celebrate the pacification of the Western Regions, so that the monarch and his ministers could enjoy themselves together.

Cheng Yaojin did not feel that there was something wrong with not getting the reward, he still drank and had fun with Qin Shiji and a group of veterans such as Yuchi Jingde who had resigned from office and retired to the mansion for the elderly, but all the old guys in the banquet were talking about how old they are now, their faces Xu Tiankai, who still looks like a young man, said that this guy has taken some kind of elixir to keep youthful at this age.

It's no wonder these old guys, that is, Li Zhi is very envious of Xu Tian's appearance, but fortunately, the emperor's son doesn't think about immortality like his father, and knows that Xu Tian is practicing the profound skills of Taoism The reason.

The monarch and his ministers are all celebrating and joyful, but one person is depressed, thinking that he has nothing but ability, his heart is higher than the sky and his life is thinner than paper.

This person is naturally Xue Rengui, a military official who has ambitions but has no chance to display his abilities. He thinks that his civil and military talents are not weaker than those of Su Dingfang. Your child will soon surpass himself.

This man!When there is a problem, they are unwilling to find the shortcomings in themselves. Most of them complain about the injustice of God, but they don't know that such emotions have no positive effect on the problem except to make themselves unhappy.

Like Xue Rengui, this is equivalent to a person with no background in the court, and many times he is clever but is mistaken by cleverness.

This fellow's gloomy and unwilling performance at the celebration banquet was discovered by someone with a heart, and he was eventually treated as a spearman in the court without knowing it.

After the celebration banquet, the Tang court returned to its former tranquility. The ministers of the various ministries attended the court meeting every ten days when they had nothing to do. It was rare to see him at the court meeting. The emperor asked what this guy was busy with, and probably got the news that this guy was practicing in seclusion, which made Li Zhi helpless.

On the other hand, Xu Xiaole was very successful. This little bastard was proud of the position of a fourth-rank guard with a knife. He had a young heart. When he entered and exited the palace, he always wore the golden armor and long sword bestowed by the emperor, but on his feet he wore clothes that his father asked him to wear. With the field boots he bought, he always dressed himself up as a handsome little general.

When this fellow hangs out in the palace, the person he is most afraid of seeing is Princess Taiping. This ten-year-old girl is really tricky and weird. Not only is she good at chess, but she can easily do anything that Xu Xiao wants to play with. see through.

On this day, after Qin Xiaole visited Empress Wu in the queen's bedroom as usual, before Empress Wu asked about the homework she had learned recently, this guy quietly escaped from the queen's bedroom while the queen was dealing with other affairs in the palace. Seeing the figure of this kid, he couldn't help cursing to himself.

"This little bastard ran fast when he saw the opportunity. He must have not completed the studies assigned by my mother."

Empress Wu's words were heard by Princess Taiping, who came to the bedroom with Li Xian to greet the queen mother, and said with a small mouth when greeting the queen mother.

"Empress, Ping'er knows where brother Xiaole is, and when Ping'er catches him, the empress will punish him."

It turns out that since Qin Xiaole entered the palace as an errand, he has been mingled with the imperial guards regardless of position or status. He often gathers with these royal relatives and nobles' children to drink, have fun, gamble and play. Among the imperial guards in the palace, he got the nickname of "Gambling Saint", but it turned out that this guy rarely lost when he played dice with soldiers of the imperial guards, drank and played money, and his heroic deeds in the palace were known to Princess Taiping long ago.

Wu Zetian felt a little interested when he heard what his daughter said, and asked.

"Does Ping'er know what that little bastard does when he is on duty in the palace?"

"Hmm, um... Ping'er knows that brother Xiaole will definitely be playing with the guards in the palace."

Hearing what her daughter said, Empress Wu thought to herself.

"It's okay for the little bastard to act irresponsibly, but it's okay to attract the imperial guards in the palace to indulge in fun."

Thinking of this, Empress Wu ordered King Lu, Li Xian, and Princess Taiping to go with her to the Forbidden Army camp. The eunuchs had already prepared the Queen's car to drive, and the Queen ordered everyone to go to the Forbidden Army camp at the Meridian Gate of the Palace to arrest Xu Xiaole.

At this time, the Imperial Army camp was very lively, there were Yuchi Jingde's grandson Yuchi Xiaohei, Cheng Yaojin's grandson Cheng Dabao, Li Jing's grandson Li Minzhong, Fang Xuanling's grandson Fang Yong, Du Ruhui's grandson Du Ziyan and Wei Zheng's grandson Wei Wuya. The boys gathered around the square table to gamble, and behind the boys were crowds of soldiers from the Imperial Army, holding loose silver in their hands and shouting non-stop.

"Follow Zhuang, follow idle!"

The atmosphere in the arena was lively, everyone's eyes were bulging, staring at the silver taels on the table, feeling very happy.

How can this kind of thing be missing Qin Xiaole, who is the banker at this time, grabbing three dice with a red face and urging everyone to place a bet. There is already a lot of scattered silver in front of this guy. It is obvious that he has killed three parties and is very lucky. .

But seeing this fellow shouted loudly.
