The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 652
Nanzhou is as drunk as wine in the summer heat, and he is sleeping in Beibei.

At noon, I feel alone and there is no sound, and the mountain boy knocks on the tea mortar through the bamboo.

——"Xia Day's Occasionally Works" Liu Zongyuan
……

The next day, Li E, the second head of Qinghe Husi village, came to report that Hebei rebels had secretly ambushed in the valleys of Hengzhou, Dingzhou, Mozhou, and Cangzhou in the south of Youzhou, and were on standby at any time.

Lone Wolf also received news that the Khitan and Xi tribes had been persuaded to join forces to put down the rebellion.The main forces of these grassland tribes gathered in Guizhou and Tanzhou in the north of Youzhou.

Everything is ready, just waiting to launch a general attack.

Bai Fu mobilized his generals to encircle Fan Yang with all his strength.

At a critical juncture, Bai Fu suddenly received a fire lottery order from the Ministry of War, requesting Bai Fu to lead five hundred Anxi cavalry and return to Beijing as soon as possible.The Battle of Hewei and Fanyang was under the full command of Huyan Tieyi.

At such a critical moment, how can you mobilize the main general without authorization?

Shan Yunheng, the leader of the Hebei Daoyi Army and the head of the Husi Village, made it clear that if Bai Fu was transferred away, the Hebei Rebel Army might not be willing to listen to the Tang Army.

Bai Fu and all the generals rushed to the court in unison, imploring the court to consider the great cause of countering the rebellion, and give a time limit.

Li Guangbi, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, even secretly played Suzong, begging His Majesty to withdraw his order.

Unexpectedly, Su Zong ignored it, issued twelve gold medals for dispatching troops, and asked Bai Fu to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

The sacred order is hard to disobey, and if you disobey the order, you will be at risk of beheading.

Seeing the twelve gold medals for dispatching troops, even Li Guangbi had no choice but to urge Bai Fu to leave as soon as possible and return to Beijing according to the order.

Li Guangbi sent a secret letter to Bai Fu, saying: "The siege of Fan Yang is imminent. It is really taboo to change generals before the battle. The Holy Majesty knows all this. However, His Majesty is determined to go his own way and is determined to transfer you back to Chang'an.

According to my inference, something happened in Chang'an that forced His Majesty to take extraordinary measures.

Your Majesty is wise, there must be a deep meaning in this move. "

In desperation, Bai Fu could only hand over as soon as possible, striving to return to Chang'an as soon as possible.

Before leaving, Bai Fu stared at the map of the empire's territory in the tent and stayed up all night.

He stayed up all night, and secretly played to Suzong: "Your Majesty has clearly observed that the world is still uncertain, and there are smoldering fires everywhere, so Marshal Guo Ziyi should not be placed in an idle position.

The general who commanded the Battle of Fanyang must not only be proficient in the art of war, but also be able to command all forces and form a force of encirclement.

At the end of the day, the general suggested that Guo Shuai should recruit the Hu-Han mixed corps from Shuofang theater, Fufang theater (headquartered in Fuzhou, today's Fu County, Shaanxi Province), Binning Jingyuan theater (headquarters in Binzhou), etc., starting from Shuofang. Detour outside the Great Wall and attack Fan Yang directly.

Once Fanyang is captured and the puppet Yan separatist regime is eliminated, on the way to suppress the rebel army, you can send troops south to wipe out the remnants of the puppet Yan in Hebei (north of the Yellow River).

The army went south along the Yongji Canal and Jishui, and after entering Henan Road, they could join hands with General Guangbi to attack from the east and west sides, forming a pincer-shaped offensive, and wipe out Shi Siming's main force in Duji Road.

So far, Shi Siming's chaos has been settled!The imperial court no longer has any worries.

Once Shi Siming's rebellion is put down, several armies can dispatch their divisions to smash the rebellions of the Qiang and Hun tribes in Jingzhou and Longzhou.

Suppress the Qiang and Hun rebels, the army can take advantage of the situation to march westward, defeat the Tubo Fanbing, regain the territory of the Western Regions occupied by Tubo, and reproduce the heyday of the Tang Dynasty! "

……

Bai Fu and his party traveled day and night to Chang'an.

When arriving at Yanmen Pass, the flags of Yanmen Pass are fluttering, and the drums are playing loudly.Thousands of defenders with bright armor and neat military appearance lined up on the city wall to greet this legendary general with reverent eyes and solemn military salute.

Seeing the heroic young commander, cheers erupted on the Great Wall like a tsunami.

"Young commander...Young commander!"

The youngest general of the empire, rising like a comet, led the Tang army, defeated countless unimaginably powerful enemies, and won incredible victories one after another!
The soldiers are tall and straight like javelins, with tears of pride in their eyes. It is the supreme honor of a soldier to be able to fight side by side with such a general in this life.

"That's right, man!"

This sentence lingers in the hearts of every Tang army soldier.

Among the welcome queue, there was a graceful, luxurious, elegant and noble woman who stood out among the soldiers of the three armies.

She is the princess of Ningguo who married Huihe back then.

On July 758th, the first year of Qianyuan (AD [-]), Emperor Suzong granted Gele Khan (the second term) Yaoluoge Moyanchuo the title of Yingwu Weiyuan Bijiaque Khan, and gave his youngest daughter Princess Ningguo married him.

Li Yu, the supervisor of the Palace of the Tang Dynasty, and the king of Hanzhong, served as the official envoy, and Li Xun, the right minister, and Xian Yu Shuming, the member of the division Xun, served as the deputy special envoys, escorting the princess of Ningguo to marry Huihe.

On July 24, Suzong personally sent Princess Ningguo to Xianyang. When they parted, Princess Ningguo said goodbye to Suzong: "The country is important, and I will die without hatred."

Suzong burst into tears and returned with sadness.

After Princess Ningguo and her party arrived at the Royal Court of Huihe (now Halahelin City, Mongolia), Yaoluo Gemo Yanchu conferred the title of Princess Ningguo as Ketun (Queen) of Huihe, and the whole country of Huihe rejoiced.

……

In April of the third year of Qianyuan (AD 759), Yao Luogemoyanchuo, the second Khan of Huihe Vijaque, passed away. The prince who became a brother) was killed for some reason earlier, and the Huihe nobles supported his younger brother Yao Luoge Yidijian to succeed him as Dengli Khan (three terms).

Princess Ningguo had been married to Huihe for less than ten months, but the Huihe royal family ordered Princess Ningguo to be buried.

Princess Ningguo said with awe-inspiring righteousness, "Because Huihe admired the culture of the Tang Dynasty, he married a woman from the Tang Dynasty. If everything follows the customs of Huihe, why bother to propose marriage!"

The two sides could not stop arguing, and finally each made a concession.Princess Ningguo didn't have to be buried, but she still cut her face with a knife and cried according to Huihe's custom of "cutting her face" before she gave up.

(Uyghur funeral custom, the dead body is put in the tent, the descendants and relatives slaughter the cows and horses, sacrifice in front of the tent, and then ride around the tent seven times, stop in front of the tent, cry and cut their face with a knife, blood and tears exchange, so that after seven times, the ceremony is over).

After Huihe Vijaque Khan's funeral was over, because Princess Ningguo had no heirs, according to her wishes, the Huihe royal family sent someone to send her back to the country.

After several months of trekking, Princess Ningguo finally arrived at Yanmen Pass.

The Great Wall is majestic and majestic, winding and circling among the high mountains.The moment she saw the beacon tower, Princess Ningguo was overwhelmed with tears.

This is the hometown that haunts dreams, and this is the Tang Dynasty that sacrificed his life for it without complaint or regret!

However, after arriving at Yanmen Pass, Princess Ningguo did not return to Chang'an immediately, but waited for someone at Yanmen Pass.

Today she finally waited for this person!
……

She looked at Bai Fu, who was surrounded by all the generals and surrounded by stars, and Princess Ningguo was burning with anxiety, wishing to end the welcome ceremony as soon as possible and tell the whole story.

After half an hour, the welcome ceremony finally ended.When Bai Fu returned to the barracks, he had just taken off his armor, before he had time to wash up, Princess Ningguo ignored the guards to stop her and led someone into the tent.

Bai Fu was taken aback, and hurriedly saluted, and asked, "Your Highness, you came here in a hurry, you must have something important to do, please speak frankly."

Princess Ningguo was also polite, straight to the point, and said: "General Bai, something happened to Qingluan! Now in the entire Tang Dynasty, the only one who can save her is you, please take action, General!"
