Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1246 The blunt knife cuts the flesh

In the third year of Qianning (896), Shao Sheng personally supervised the army to attack the grasslands, defeated the Uighur Teqin Chuluowu in Heichengzi, and defeated the Yinshan Tatars in Yueabsi in Nuozhenshui, with brilliant results.

Except for the rewards, the captured cattle and sheep were raised in various pastures, which strongly supported the agricultural reform of the three-crop rotation system in Guanbei, Helong, and even parts of Guanzhong.

The robustness mentioned by Ding Ding of the tribe was pulled out, whether it was the Tatar "Ben Tartar" who moved westward from the Heichengzi, or the White Tatar who moved from the west to the east by the Absi family, most of them were incorporated into the slave tribe, which effectively enriched the small coffers of the Shao family. .

Now that eight years have passed, these captives have basically been trained.

Such is the prairie tradition.Tribal annexation, the Supreme Khan had been merciful in not ordering the killing of all men taller than a wheel, so there was nothing to complain about.

You say you are a Tatar, but are you really sure that your ancestors are not from other tribes?You are all direct servants of the Supreme Khan now, you need to kneel on the ground and kiss his boots. When the Supreme Khan with golden blood is happy, he will give you land, support your family, and even fight with him to obtain more wealth.

Today, those who followed Albus to Changxia Palace were basically the backbones from Hongyuan Palace, Yulin Palace, and Woyang Palace. A total of more than a thousand people, led by Wanhu Absi, came to Changxia Palace to establish slave tribes. , the task is still quite heavy.

"Don't call me Abus, my name is Shao Zhili." Changxia Palace Supervisor Shao Zhili said with a serious face after getting off his horse.

When Li Siyi heard that her waist was bent even lower, she said: "I will send someone to kill the sheep right now, the palace supervisor will wait for a while."

In fact, he is the envoy of the palace repair system, and Shao Zhili is the palace supervisor. There is no problem between the two of them who is older and who is younger.But Li Siyi's heart is too low now, he is in a state of panic, and subconsciously puts himself in a very low position.

In addition, he once asked someone if the sage had adopted a son, and he learned that Shao Lun, the governor of Chenzhou, was the only one so far.But there are many people named by him, such as martial arts students Shao Zhixian and Shao Zhixue, they are all descendants of officials who were exiled in Fangzhou in the former Tang Dynasty; Zi Sao, Tuoba Li, the grandson of Tuoba Jin, the supervisor of Xianyou Palace, and a warrior from the Suo family in Shazhou.

These people who have been given names are even considered by others to be the adopted sons of saints, but they have not been publicly recorded. In fact, Li Ke has so many adopted sons, but very few can be included in the genealogy. Most of the adopted sons What is the difference between status and Shao Zhixian and others who were named by saints?Not even as good.

Li Siyi didn't want to offend these people surnamed Shao, not to mention that they were all slaves of Supreme Khan, it was really unnecessary.

"Near the pasture, is there a Khitan tribe?" Shao Zhili looked around and asked.

"There were still last year, but then I was scared away." Li Siyi said: "A Baoji retreated in a hurry, and he lost more than a few soldiers and horses. These pastures behind the mountain, how they were originally invaded, are now vomited out one by one."

"Great Khan is really a hero you meet once in hundreds of years." Shao Zhi praised: "On the grassland, there is no opponent. Li Keyong's generation will be captured sooner or later."

Shao Zhili was the son of Yuyue Absi, a Tatar from Yinshan who was captured in Nuozhenshui, and his biological mother was Kedun Asht.

Yinshan Tatars are called "White Tatars" to distinguish them from the [-]-surnamed Tatars of the yellow race who migrated westward.From the surname of Shao Zhili's mother's family, it can be seen that he is actually a Turkic aristocrat and has a close relationship with the Shatuo Tribe, otherwise he would not have taken in Li Guochang, Li Keyong and his son.

Of course, the Yinshan Tatar itself is a hodgepodge, formed by the fusion of tribes that migrated from the Western Regions to the east and tribes that migrated from the northeast to the west. There may also be many Uighurs, Shiwei, Tuyuhun, Zhaowu and even Shatuo people mixed in. It is very complicated in itself.The honorable status of the Ashide family in Turkic is all old history, otherwise you would have moved eastward to seek refuge?

Shao Zhili's own martial arts background is quite good, and he also has a certain military strategy. After joining the bodyguards, he fought several times with the Tatar tribes, all of which were small-scale border raids. He also participated in the suppression of the Hexi Party Project last year. The rebellion rose to hundreds of households at the age of a weak crown.

It stands to reason that if he is promoted this time, there will only be a thousand households if he dies, and it is true that he will only have a thousand people under him.But there is an extra title in his title, "Possession of Power to Take Ten Thousand Households", which is very bluffing.

Shao Zhili's biological mother, Aste, is currently only a member of the Lantern Palace in Luoyang Palace, and this time she is also driving north to Youzhou.

When Shao Shude first captured Astride, he favored her for a while, but later he felt that this white woman had too much hair, and he had no interest in playing with it.When he was in Taishan Palace, on a whim, he dragged Ashide, who had come to turn off the lights, into bed again.A few days ago, the imperial physician announced that Ashder was pregnant.

Before Shao Zhili went to Changxia Palace, he went to Youzhou to face the holy.The sage was magnanimous and allowed him to meet his mother and two siblings. After learning that his mother was pregnant, his emotions were very complicated. He didn't know whether he should call the baby in his mother's womb, brother, sister or something else.

As for his father Albus, he has already forgotten... I heard that he lived in Luoyang, but he didn't go to meet him. After the interview, he came directly to Changxia Palace.

Shao Zhili knew who could give him power and wealth.His surname is Shao now, not Albus, so there is nothing to say.

******
The sheep was killed quickly, Shao Zhili sat down with a group of people, and Li Siyi respectfully asked people to offer fine wine and food, and even picked some decent-looking girls to perform dances.

"Shao Gongjian, the first batch of [-] tents has been placed. I wonder what the Khan's regulations are. Will he launch troops against Khitan this year?" Li Siyi also sat down and asked softly.

"You shouldn't know, don't inquire about it." A certain follower brought by Shao Zhili sneered and said.

Li Siyi didn't take it seriously, but still looked at Shao Zhili.

"No big moves." Shao Zhili stopped the provocation of his followers, and said: "As far as I know, the three groups of Sanquan, Xianyou Palace, and Yuyi Town will retreat after repairing Beikou City. Will there be any later? I don’t know if they will gather together. Changxia Palace and Linyu Pass may move a bit, but the main force will not come. The two towns of Cangjing and Youzhou, Xinde, have to garrison large troops. Yijing."

In fact, Wei Bo still has a lot of troops stationed there.

Once these soldiers and horses withdraw, they may or may not be in trouble, no one dares to bet.But from another point of view, the existence of these soldiers and horses is also a deterrent to Hedong, Chengde, and Yiding, restraining their troops.

To deal with the grassland, if it is not a battle to destroy the country, then a large number of infantry will not be needed.It is enough to dispatch the mobile cavalry unit, which is the fundamental reason why the Dingnan army and the guards who are on their way have come.

"A sage is really safe." Li Siyi smiled, feeling a bit relieved.

The sage repaired the Summer Palace, and gathered a large cavalry army nearby. Li Siyi saw it, and was more or less worried.Will the Youzhou tribe be forced to fight?The possibility is not small.

"The subordinates of Changxia Palace..." Li Siyi asked again.

"Six thousand households are tentatively planned." Shao Zhili said: "All of them come from You, Zhuo, and Gui prefectures. After breaking up, they will be reorganized and they will graze nearby."

These [-] herdsmen are actually mostly from small tribes, because they are easy to handle.The first batch of [-] households came from the descendants of Mohe in Zhuozhou. In the early Tang Dynasty, Shenzhou and Lizhou were set up, and the ancient tribe of Mohe Wusu at the end of Sumo was settled. After the Khitan Li Jinzhong rebelled, this tribe was dispersed to Song and Zi in Henan. He was resettled in Qingsanzhou and Qingsanzhou, and later moved back to Youzhou, where he lives so far.

According to the research conducted by Beiping Prefecture, there should be tens of thousands of descendants of Sumo Mohe in Zhuozhou and Youzhou. Some of these people will be incorporated into the Qimin family, and some will be incorporated into the Changxia Palace and become the servants of the Supreme Khan.

"The Mohe people can still fight." Li Siyi was relieved when he heard it, and the smile on his face became more obvious, and he only heard him say: "Moreover, the Mohe people can cultivate a lot of land, and Khan gets it, and they both herd and cultivate it." , with the foundation of Changxia Palace, the future will be great."

After hearing this, Shao Zhili pointed at Li Siyi with his finger and laughed.

Li Siyi also laughed awkwardly.It seems that I can't hide my little thoughts from others.

Their family came to Youzhou during the reign of Xuanzong, but according to their parents, their ancestors were named Dahe Kuge, who was given the surname Li, and belonged to the royal family of the Dahe Alliance before Li Jinzhong's rebellion.

Uh, Li Siyi actually doesn't believe it.But things like putting gold on your face and finding a powerful ancestor for your family can be done by the Han people, but the Khitan can't do it?Li Siyi also pretended to be confused, neither admitting nor denying it.

But then again, among the various tribes living in Youzhou, which ancestor is not glorious?There are a lot of people surnamed Ashina and Gao, so what about those surnamed Dahe?

Li Siyi didn't have any idea of ​​restoring the glory of the Khitan Dahe clan - in fact, he didn't have any glory at all - he was only interested in his own power.Supreme Khan is registering Qimin, and Fanhu people settle down in prefectures and counties every day, and it has been going on for almost two months so far. This is what he is most worried about.

He was very happy when he heard that the Changxia Palace would not form a slave tribe based on the tribe under their Li family's rule.

But his excitement didn't last long.Soon, Shao Zhili dealt him a heavy blow: "The Khan has an order that the Khitan He Dahe tribe dispatch [-] households and send them to Xianyou Palace, Woyang Palace, and Yulin Palace. Inspector Li, you can do it." Get ready."

"What?!" Li Siyi was shocked.

The He Dahe tribe is the tribe that Li Siyi is now commanding.

Of course, that's a common name.He Dahe was one of the eight tribes of the Khitan Dahe clan alliance period, and came to Youzhou earlier than the Li Siyi family.Li Siyi's ancestors did not know what method they used to successfully integrate the alliance dominated by the remnants of He Dahe's defeated generals, and merged into a new tribe, which lived in Shunzhou for generations.Therefore, he was called He Da He Bu to the outside world, and even the ancestors of their family became Da He Ku Ge.

"You don't want to?" Shao Zhili's face froze.

Li Siyi's expression also froze, but he quickly reacted and said: "Khan has an order, so he should obey it. Just don't know when to leave?"

"The people from the tribe can be sent today." Shao Zhili said: "The thousand households of herdsmen selected by the Yulin Three Divisions set off early. I received news on the way that they will arrive tomorrow at the latest."

Good guy!Li Siyi finally understood that the saint took three thousand households from him and dispersed them to Yulin Palace, Woyang Palace, and Xianyou Palace, and then transferred a thousand households from each of these three places to travel eastward, including the thousand households that Shao Zhili brought over. The backbone, together as the backbone force to control the Changxia Palace.

In this way, the power of this Long Summer Palace cannot be underestimated.Nine thousand households, more than 4 people, even surpassed the most powerful Woyang Palace.

"Then I'll go and deal with it." Li Siyi stood up, took two steps, and almost stumbled and fell.

Shao Zhili put away the madness on his face.You can guess the method of Supreme Khan's blunt knife to cut flesh?

There was a geese singing in the sky.

Shao Zhili looked up, but saw a flock of wild geese flying north.His eyes chased the geese until the end of the sky.

And in the place between the sky and the ground, more and more knights are gathering.

The wind on the prairie seems to be getting colder.

For some unknown reason, a passionate emotion welled up in his chest.

After Ashina's failure, he worked for Tang Ting and made great achievements throughout his life.His mother was born in the Turkic Ashid family, and he, who is of noble blood, seems to be able to make contributions.

What is the Khitan Yelu clan?How can it be as noble as Ashina's and Ashder's bloodlines?Yeluyi, a dog-like character, has such great ambitions, does he still want to dominate the grassland?This time, there may be a chance to teach them a lesson.
