Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Throughout April, Xia and Qi basically spent uninterrupted small and medium-sized sex.The Xia people didn't seem to have many soldiers. The cavalry of the imperial army had been dispatched a few times, and then they didn't move much.They were replaced by the Fan soldiers from Li Siyi's department. They met Xi Ren in chess, pecked at each other, and fought back and forth.

When Li Siyi was exhausted, men, women and children from the Li Neng Department of Pingzhou also came over with their cattle and sheep, and immediately threw themselves into the battlefield, fighting with the Ahui Department, until they couldn't hold on anymore. Brothers Shilu and Juandi Forced to bring some small vassal tribes forward to help, it is worthwhile to stabilize the front line.

It's not over yet.Just when Li Neng felt the pain of the loss, more than 1 men, women and children from Li Shaoye's department came to eat with cattle and sheep again.

His capital was not large, but the rush of three thousand freshmen directly became the last straw that broke the camel's back.The Ahui tribe collapsed immediately, and Xiadi ran away with the real Khitans, and the Khitan, Xi, Yu, and Tatar tribes who followed Shilu also lost their fighting spirit and were terrified.

Considering that the men, women, old, weak and cattle and sheep of the Ahui Department had almost withdrawn, Shi Lu could only sigh, and while sending people to detour into Yanshan Mountain, trying to harass Xia Jun's grain road, he ran away at the same time.

So far, Xia Ren has firmly established himself in the Mulan paddock—in fact, he didn't make much effort.On April 21, Li Cunxiao led [-] Qingyi troops and [-] people from Youzhou Fanhu to Lin Yuguan, and galloped all the way to the white wolf garrison.The tribes encountered along the way, no matter how big or small, all escaped, and some even came to descend on their own initiative.

Bailang Garrison is a military fort on the west bank of the upper reaches of the Daling River on the left wing of Karaqin in later generations.In the former Tang Dynasty, a little further north from here was the national border between Tang and Khitan.

In the third year of Zhenming (917) in the Later Liang Dynasty, Abao led hundreds of thousands of cavalry to go south and besieged Youzhou. He was defeated by Li Siyuan and Fu Cunshen's [-] cavalry, and fled back to Liaoze.Zhou Dewei, the Jiedu envoy of Youzhou, then recruited soldiers, restored the eight garrisons behind the mountain, and sent troops to guard them. The White Wolf Garrison was one of the eight garrisons.

After Li Cunxiao led his army to this place, Daxia also regained control of these places.Some tribes that had never moved inland and surrendered to the Khitan came to surrender one after another like weeds on the wall.

On April [-]th, Shao Shude arrived at the Changxia Palace with more than [-] newcomers from the Tielin Army and Yinanzhi.This is the first time he has run so far since he occupied Youzhou, almost reaching the edge of Liaoze.But looking carefully at the surrounding situation, it seems that it is not so dangerous.

Wanqi, an iron cavalry army temporarily attached to the Rouzhou camp, has received an order to march eastward to Sanquan, waiting for the next order.

Li Cunxiao's troops have arrived at the White Wolf Garrison.

Dingnan Army, Tielin Army, and Yin Anzhi are in Changxia Palace.

The three armies are almost connected in a straight line, echoing each other, and can advance or retreat.

Shao Sheng didn't believe it at all, there was a man from the Tie Lin Army here, what else could the Khitan do to him—uh, wait, Tie Lin Jun.
It's actually fine.

Tielin Army is ridiculed by many people now, it depends on who it is compared with.In a frontal field battle, the Khitans had nothing to do with them.

Of course, Shao Sheng has no intention of going to war with Khitan now.What he is doing now is to fully restore the former Youzhou Town's territory behind the mountain and outside the pass.

The Khitans took advantage of Li Keyong's large number of Yan soldiers and did not guard outside the pass, so they invaded and occupied.This kind of behavior is of course intolerable, and they must know how much they have.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Shao Zhili, Li Sizhe, Wei Boqiu, Fu Yanchao and other key officials fell to the ground one after another.

"Get up." Xiao Huangmen moved to the throne, and Shao Shude sat on it directly, saying.

Shao Huixian, the fifth son of the emperor, Shao Mingyi, the sixth son of the emperor, Chen Cheng, Xiao Qu, Pei Zhi, the prime ministers, Yang Jue, the privy envoy, Hu Zhen, the deputy envoy, Zhang Xuanyan, the minister of the Ministry of officials, and Wang Pu, the minister of the military department.

There are two women sitting beside Shao Shude, on the left is Empress He of Tang Shuxian, and on the right is the newly conferred Jieyu Ashide.

This is the first time the two have appeared in public.Especially Empress He, who gave birth to Shao Shude's second son in February, no longer concealed it, and simply showed it to others.

Shao Shude originally thought that he would have the power to conquer the two towns of Cangjing and Youzhou, and he did not dare to be persuaded by anyone, but he did not expect Wang Pu, the minister of the Ministry of War, to persuade him to hand over the He family to the care of his relatives.

This is what Wang Gui persuaded Li Shimin in the early years of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's cousin, Li Ai, the king of Lujiang, was murdered for rebellion, and his wives and concubines were brought into the palace. One of them was extremely beautiful and served her well. meaning.As a result, she was choked by Wang Gui, unable to hold back her face, and finally released the girl and handed her over to her relatives to take care of her.

But Empress He had a special status, Shao Shude was reluctant to send her away, and was very unhappy.Wang Pu had no choice but to stop admonishing him.

At this time, He looked at the densely packed courtiers and chieftains in front of him, feeling a little nervous.But after all, she has been a queen and faced court, so she still has a basic bearing, sitting still and smiling.

She knew that many people might ridicule her in their hearts for being watery, after all, she took the initiative to throw herself into her arms.But she is afraid of death, and she is greedy for wealth and honor, so it doesn't matter what others think, she's a mess.

Ashtella's lower abdomen bulged slightly, and her gaze stayed on Shao Zhili for a while, then moved away.

She knew very well that the value of the child in her belly was a hundred times greater than that of Shao Zhili.In order to get a chance, she didn't know how long she had been preparing in secret, it could be said that she had been deliberate and deliberate.Of course, she was lucky enough to get pregnant right away. Now she is Jieyu and satisfied.

"Where is Shao Zhili?" Shao Shude asked.

"Your Majesty, this servant is here." Damn, there were too many high officials present, and Shao Zhili was squeezed to the back. He heard the call and hurried forward.

"How is the establishment of the Changxia Palace subordinates?" Shao Shude asked.

"The establishment has been completed, with a total of [-] thousand households and more than [-] mouths." Shao Zhili replied.

The setting of Qianhu is, in principle, to dismantle the old tribes and divide them into clans.A clan has a thousand households, and there are seventeen clans in Changxia Palace, that is, seventeen thousand households.

"How did you feel when you fought against the Khitans recently?" Shao Shude asked again.

"Your Majesty, the thousands of households are still a little unfamiliar. After fighting a few times, it's much better. Please give me some time to rectify it. It will be a strong army in the future." Shao Zhili replied.

"Not bad." Shao Shude praised.

He held Asht's hand, and Asht's face was filled with a smile, and he looked at Shao Zhili with encouraging eyes.

"If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. Come and give me armor and tools." Shao Shude clapped his hands and said.

Pugu Cheng'en stepped forward quickly, took out a list, and said: "Shao Gongjian, the official specially bestowed four thousand collars, five thousand armors, ten thousand bows, ten thousand spears, and two mo knives to the subordinates of the Chang Xia Palace. Fifteen hundred people, one thousand horses."

Shao Zhili was overjoyed, knelt down again, and said: "Your Majesty has treated you so favorably, even if Changxia Palace's entire body is smashed to pieces, it's hard to repay it."

This reward is really too rich.In particular, the four thousand armors were just distributed to the members of the old guards who came from Yulin, Woyang, and Xianyou Sangong. The thousand backbones brought by themselves can also be shared.

Long spears, cavalry bows, and Mo knives are also very valuable. They can greatly enrich their arsenal, and they can play a great role in the future battle with Khitan.

"This is a battle tool for fighting." Shao Shude said with a smile: "However, it is very hard for the children to go deep into Liaoze, how can they have no money? Xie Shanggong!"

"The servant is here." Mrs. Shang Gong Xie stepped forward.

"Is the goods ready?" Shao Shude asked.

"Everything is ready. Zheng Ding will be given two grains, one string of money, one bolt of silk, and one bolt of woolen cloth for one person. There are more than a hundred households, and each has a difference." Xie replied.

"Good." Shao Shude said: "Let the sons line up, and I will personally supervise the distribution of rewards." "The brilliance of the Khan can illuminate the sun and the moon." Shao Zhili admired.

The news of the award spread quickly, and when everyone in the Changxia Palace heard about it, they were all overjoyed. They spontaneously helped the old and the young, knelt down, and filled the grassland to the brim.

Shao Shude also got up with great interest, took the hands of He Shi and Ashder Shi, and walked out slowly. "Meet the Supreme Khan!"

"Meet Ke Dun!" "Meet Yan Shi!"

The members of the group almost kowtowed their heads on the grass, extremely respectful and pious.Looking at the servants kneeling all over the ground, Shao Shude felt emotional.

The grassland is aristocratic politics, even more excessive than that of the aristocratic families in the Southern Dynasties.Ordinary herdsmen really don't have any chance, not even a little bit.

If your blood is not noble enough, you have no appeal.If you don't have appeal, you won't be able to pull the team together.If you can't pull up the team, you won't have the chance to improve your bloodline, so it's a closed loop.

Only when the god-sent opportunity, which is rare in hundreds or even thousands of years, comes to a grassland-eating chicken competition with a savage man on the prairie, when the cards are completely reshuffled, will the shepherds stand out and become nobles—after the cards are reshuffled, they will still be the nobles. Aristocratic politics is just a different group of people.

Supreme Khan's new slave department actually gave opportunities to many slaves from the bottom.

Because this is a brand new group, there are few fetters from the past, and there are fewer interest entanglements.Everyone has the opportunity to be promoted, and become hundreds, thousands or even ten thousand households—although these positions do not have the name of nobility, they have the reality of nobility, which is still very attractive.

Therefore, as far as the current situation is concerned, the bodyguard and pro-army system is still in a vigorous and upward situation.At least the enthusiasm is good, and many people want to make meritorious service and save a family business for future generations.

Therefore, the Mohe people, Khitan people, and Goguryeo people kneeling on the ground also sincerely obeyed, because the Khan opened up a different world for them, and there are a lot of meritorious deeds waiting for them to build.

The eyes of Chen Cheng and Xiao Yun met inadvertently.

The slave tribe of the sage is also a faint restraint on them, the meritorious families of the Han land.If these people can acquire literary and martial arts and produce some talents, the saint will not have to rely entirely on nobles and scholars.

These day family servants, who live in the grasslands, are certainly no more connected with the Central Plains than the Han clan.Naturally, they can only rely on the emperor, who is a very useful knife in the hands of the emperor.In extreme cases, the sage can also rely on his servants to carry out things that Han officials and aristocratic families oppose, and will not be completely controlled by others.It doesn't matter if you stab the basket, you can just send it back to the grassland to avoid the limelight. Anyway, the servant is the scapegoat. "The guards will arrive next month. At that time, you will practice well and let that thief Abaoji see how good you are." Shao Shude stood on the grassland, standing like a mountain, surrounded by dense crowds kneeling and kowtowing The herdsmen, chiefs, marshals and chiefs all bowed their heads in respect.

Zhang Suqing, a Taoist priest in purple robe, splashed ink and painted on the spot.

Yang Ningshi, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, prepared a draft and wrote an inscription on the painting: "There is nothing wrong with Guanshan, and the wind and the horse will return. On the side of the Qingzhong road, there are few eagle-shooting horses; in the north of the surrendered city, there is no worry about leaving arrowheads. , Fortunately, Liuhe, Yixia Juan. The mountains and rivers will last forever, and the sun and the moon will hang forever."

This is another piece of Shao Sheng's tour of Hebei group painting, which is completed.
