Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 737 Dispute
The north wind is howling, and thousands of horses are galloping.

Outside Heichengzi, the killing was coming to an end.The Tatars, eager for revenge, rushed in first, and killed the Uyghurs when they saw them, and even some noble Tatars who had taken refuge in the Uyghurs died tragically under the sword, without showing any mercy.

The battle on the prairie should not have been like this. It may be that the hatred is too great, and they are especially merciless towards traitors.

Yang Yue stood on a high slope outside the city to take over the overall situation.

Xu Hao led the iron cavalry to chase and defeat the enemy. The Tatars were all focused on revenge. The guards were really the most political. They immediately took control of the treasury in Heichengzi and the mansions of Uighur nobles.

"The Qukun River (the name of the Orhun River in the Tang Dynasty, the transliteration is different) is really a good place." Yang Yue looked at it for a long time, and then said: "I look at the history books. Side. In the middle of Kaiyuan, Vija Khan moved southward, and there was a plain in the east near the left of Yazhang, Wudeyan Mountain in the west, and Kunkun River in the south, and there was no change after that, which shows that he is very satisfied with this place."

The whirling water is today's Selenge River.

Wudeyan Mountain is Dujin Mountain, or Yudujin Mountain, today's Hangai Mountain.

Heichengzi, where the Uyghur tooth tent is located, is about [-] miles to the north and west of the location of the Hara and Lindu cities (near Erdenizhao today) built by the later generation Okuotai.

"Go down the mountain, it's almost time to clean up the mess." Yang Yue let out a long laugh, feeling relieved.

"Dutou, maybe we can set up a monument to commemorate it?" A civil official suggested.

Yang Yue's heart was moved, but she still refused, saying: "In the past, the champion Hou sealed the wolf and swept across the vast sea. Su Dingfang ran for thousands of miles and wiped out the Western Turks. How can I compare with them? Heichengzi, already It’s not the Uighur Yazhang anymore. If I was born more than a hundred years earlier, and I raided the Uighur Yazhang when it was in its heyday, and returned victorious, needless to say, I would also like to do something. But the Uighurs today are different from the Uighurs more than a hundred years ago. Is it the same thing?"

The demise of the Uighur left many people puzzled.It was clearly in its heyday, but it was wiped out by the small power of the Shygas Khanate who was bullied and enslaved by it in the Yenisei River Basin thousands of miles away in the northwest.If you really want to speculate, it is estimated that the Uighurs encountered a natural disaster that had not happened in hundreds of years at that time, and there were great internal conflicts. King Khan had few people on hand, and he was suddenly beaten and died suddenly.

However, the strength of the Miagas Khanate was indeed too weak to control the Uyghur Khanate with a territory of thousands of miles, so it came and went wherever it came from. It also gave the various tribes room to take the lead and gradually developed.

It's just out of line!

Before entering the city, Yang Yue even had time to look at the old capital of the Uighurs, but he couldn't stop laughing.

The Fan people are ignorant, and the city is poorly built.The city wall is short and broken, and there is no water from Kunming outside the city to build the city god, and no other defensive facilities are built. It is even worse than the county town. The only thing that surpasses the county town is that it is bigger.

Prairie people, this is also normal.There is no need to build a city for an offensive regime.However, in case of an emergency, such as the invasion of the Miaogas, if there is a strong city, or it can hold out until the tribal army loyal to the Yaoluoge clan comes to help, it is too late to say anything.

Many people have already entered the city, most of them are Tatars, bodyguards and auxiliaries.Xu Hao is still chasing and killing the remnants of the enemy. This is very appetizing to Yang Yue, and he is very energetic!

"Yang Dutou!" Qianhu Helianjun, the bodyguard guarding an important position in the city, saluted and said nothing else.

Yang Yue has a problem with the Fan people.Even if it was a fan from Xia Jun's side, he would not say anything on the surface, and was even a little polite, but he still didn't trust him in his bones.

In comparison, King Xia has the bearing of "Tian Khan".Fans who have made meritorious service are rewarded with the same rewards as Han people, and they can be officials without discrimination.

Another reason is that He Lianjun is a thousand householder in the Yulin Palace, and his identity is sensitive. In principle, he should not interact with outsiders, which is not good for his future.

"Helian Qianhu is aware of the matter, first take care of the property and Meiji for the king. The sergeants who plundered cattle and sheep outside the city are all yours?" Yang Yue said with a smile that was not a smile.

He Lianjun was expressionless, cupped his hands, and said: "I also act according to the rules. Every time a city is broken, its treasury will be sealed off, and the thieves will escort the officials and their families back to the palace to wait for their punishment."

Yang Yue nodded and said, "Do it well."

As he entered the city, the chaos eased.The Tatars who went too far were captured on the spot and put in custody, and order was quickly restored in the city.

The civil servants immediately screened the prisoners, and Du Yuhou began to use means to torture the intelligence.

Overall, the raid on Heichengzi went relatively smoothly.

Thousands of cavalry from the main army took advantage of the heavy snow when the enemy was paralyzed, and suddenly attacked and killed them. This would probably have already beheaded thousands of people.If Xu Hao came back after a big kill, the beheading would cost tens of thousands.

What a glorious victory.

In addition, there may be tens of thousands of Uighurs and Tatars who were captured.This is just an estimate, and the specific number is subject to the final statistics.

The number of cattle, sheep and miscellaneous livestock is even more uncountable, which should be more than ten times the population, or even more.

But Yang Yue wasn't interested in these things, his eyes were dancing with flames, and he couldn't suppress his thoughts.

Your Majesty is a trustworthy man. Although he has wasted a few years, he still misses Lao Yang after all. Knowing his preferences, it is very good to entrust him with an elite teacher and let him fight some battles he likes.

Li Tangbin was very enthusiastic about those bad battles in Henan, so let him fight them well.No one should take these battles in the grassland, they are all his old Yang's, I hope the king will not feel sorry for the loss of troops - Yang Yue is now very worried about losing contact with Murong Fu, so nothing will happen, as for Zhang Huaiding, they made a detour Road, but still maintain contact, the problem is not big.

In the afternoon, Xu Hao, who was covered in blood, rode his horse back, threw Chu Luowu to the ground, and said: "This thief survived after taking a sword from me. But his luck was too bad, he was caught by me again while fleeing, I heard that it was the special service sent here by the Pu Gu family. Yang Dutou is very knowledgeable, so do you know what the special service is?"

"Just treat him as a town general." Yang Yue glanced at him and was dragged down for interrogation.

Chu Luo Wu weeps and mourns, terrified.He usually likes to torture and interrogate prisoners. There are countless Tatar nobles who were tortured to death by him. Now, is it finally going to be retribution on him?

"General Xu, please sit down." Yang Yue asked someone to move a bed, and smiled.

Xu Hao gasped.Yang Yue would also be so amiable, and asked someone to move his seat, even using "please"?There must be something to ask for!
Sure enough, I only heard Yang Yue say: "General Xu knows that in the sixth year of Xiantong (865), Pu Gujun raised his troops from Beiting and was defeated. He conquered Xizhou (Gaochang), Beiting (Jimsar), Lun Taiwan, Qingzhen (Manas) and other places?"

"Not very clear." Xu Hao replied honestly.

"Then do you know that the Uighur royal family is the Yaoluoge family, not the Pugu family?" Yang Yue asked again.

"I heard something."

Yang Yue nodded, it is still possible to communicate.

"After Pu Gujun conquered Xizhou, because of his great achievements and fear, he took refuge in Zhang Yichao in Shazhou. The Yao Luoge family was in Beiting. Xizhou Pugu family." Yang Yue continued: "Because Pang Teqin of the Yaoluo Ge family was conferred the title of Galudeng Liluomi Mishi Hejulu Vijahuaijian Khan by the Tang Dynasty, he called himself a nephew, and The Great Tang is the country of the nephew, and he has gained a firm foothold in Anxi by borrowing the prestige of the Great Tang, so it is inconvenient for him to take action against Pugu Jun."

"Afterwards, Pu Gujun became stronger and stronger. He not only turned against the Guiyi Army, broke through Yizhou, but even abused the Luoge family in turn. He forced his sons to lead their troops westward, and joined the tribes who moved to Congxi. United with the Ge Luolu people, claiming to be King Khan, and confronting the Anxi Gaochang Uyghurs controlled by the Pugu family, the relationship is extremely bad."

"It was the Pugu clan of the Gaochang Uyghur who led the troops to recover the Uyghur tooth tent. Maybe he was not in the right position, so he needed to do something to improve his orthodoxy, so there was this Eastern Expedition. However, I judge, The Gaochang Uighurs seem powerful, but they have many internal problems, and they have a deadly enmity with the Yao Luoge family of Xiben Geluolu, and they have made too many enemies, so they will not be able to last."

Yang Yue said a lot in one breath, but Xu Hao was at a loss.Isn't this relationship too complicated?

What kind of traitor is Pu Gujun?Yao Luoge actually ran to the west of Congling?
"Yang Dutou, according to what you said, Uighur's 'emperor' Yao Luoge has always wanted to take revenge on the usurper Gu's minister? Or will he send troops to attack in the west?" Xu Hao asked.

"It's not possible, it's been beating all the time." Yang Yue said: "I heard this from the Tatars. I will interrogate some prisoners later, and I think they can confirm each other." Yang Yue said.

"Then what does this have to do with us?" Xu Hao asked puzzled, "This surprise attack has already achieved a great victory, and going back will be a great achievement. What does the infighting between the Uighurs have to do with us?"

"The old man wants..." Yang Yue's eyes flickered with a strange expression.

"Impossible!" No matter how stupid Xu Hao was, he knew what Yang Yue wanted to do, but he wanted to hit Anxi with a single shot, is he crazy?

"Hmph! Rotten wood can't be carved!" Yang Yue hated that iron could not become steel.

"Yang Dutou, you are not allowed to volunteer without a military order." Xu Hao said solemnly: "Without the order of the king, the soldiers will not go with you."

Yang Yue looked at him coldly.

Xu Haoyi was not afraid, and his hand had already reached the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"That's all!" Yang Yue let out a long sigh, and said, "After sweeping away all the surrounding ministries, let's be a teacher. Please make a decision, Your Majesty."

Xu Hao nodded stiffly.This lunatic, who is over sixty years old and has only a few years to live, actually wants to risk the entire army to make trouble.

"I will bet some Tatar chieftains back, and the king may confer a few people." Xu Hao said.

"Canonized?" Yang Yue was taken aback for a moment, wondering if King Xia was going to proclaim himself emperor?After thinking about it, I understood that he was afraid that those Tatar chieftains would recognize him as the Supreme Khan and canonize him in the name of Khan.

snort!Thinking of this section, I feel even more bored.A good Tang Jiedu envoy is not appropriate, he must be a grassland khan.It really doesn't work, even if you proclaim yourself emperor, you have to use the name of Khan. Is this the appointment of the co-lord of the grassland?
"Come on!" Yang Yue muttered, but she didn't dare to speak out.

Xu Hao sat back on the bed again and heaved a sigh of relief.
