Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 441 I am a slippery shovel

Nasr knelt in front of Zhang Zhao in disgrace, and the cavalry behind him also knelt in black.

Just half an hour ago, the former head of a thousand households of the Kara Khanate was full of confidence to complete the blocking task for Bugla Khan, and then went to Zhangbao Shouzhu City to meet up.

So, when he saw Zhang Zhao leading six hundred riders wading across the river and not getting a foothold, he went up with a shovel!
As a result, very good results were achieved!

Six hundred Liangguo Jingqi in cotton armor defeated Nasr and the others smoothly.

Of his two deputies, one was shot to death by Li Cunhui's three consecutive arrows, and the other was shot directly by Wang Shenqi with a horse.

The battle ended in a little over a quarter of an hour, and the pursuit took about two quarters of an hour. In less than half an hour, Nasr knelt down in front of Zhang Zhao.

Five hundred Jingqi were killed and injured more than a hundred people on the spot, and almost all of the rest are here.

And when he knew that the person in front of him was Zhang Zhao who overthrew them outside the city of Poluzhou nine years ago, Nasr's posture changed from sliding shovel to sliding kneeling.

"Great Tian Khan, Nasr, your defeated subordinate, is willing to be your servant and minion, and your children and grandchildren will work for Tian Khan!"

Zhang Zhao looked at the guy who called himself Khan in front of him.

This is a black-headed Uighur, whose skin color and hair color are between Han Chinese and Indo-European.

He should be in his twenties, and the combat effectiveness of the hundreds of cavalry under his command is not bad, but the equipment is too poor, and he met Zhang Zhao again.

"Looking at your name, you should be an old subordinate of Saktu, and you are willing to join me so soon?"

"It's only natural for warriors on the grassland to follow the strong. Bugla Khan has been defeated repeatedly in battle, and his servants followed him for thousands of miles. Two brothers and a brother-in-law died in battle. Today, they were captured by Tian Khan again. I'm sorry for Saktu Khan."

"Well! In this way, he is considered a loyal minister." Zhang Zhao nodded.

"I order you to recruit a thousand elite Ge Luolu cavalry, and from then on, you will be followed by a certain person, money and official positions. If you dare to have second thoughts, hehe!"

The biggest reason why Zhang Zhao forgave this guy was that it was useful, maybe they could use their identities to deceive the Gaochang Uyghur Jieli Pijia.

Nassell was overjoyed for a moment, knowing that his life was saved.

"Pu had followed Saktu to convert to faith in the early years, but now he has already converted to Buddha's benevolence, so the name Nasr will no longer be used.

In the early years of the ancestors, there was a Han surname Zhai, but later he lost his name, so he dared to ask Tian Khan to give him a name. "

It's quite possible, Zhang Zhao thought about it, the names of the barbarians in the Tang Dynasty, anyway, those are the ones that are repeated over and over again.

Either thinking about loyalty and ritual, or something like keeping loyalty and keeping etiquette.

Zhang Zhao thought about it, Ayigul's adoptive father, the deputy governor of Talas, was named Li Guoshou by him, so he should also give this Uighur a national character.

"Since you have fulfilled the righteousness of the king and ministers of Saktu before turning to someone, then give the word Guozhong, and in the future, Zhai Guozhong will live in the world!"

After eating the names, Zhang Zhao thought of one thing. Since he wants to use the improved Tang Mi to replace the Manichaean and Tengger beliefs in the Land of Seven Rivers and the north of the Altai Mountains, he might as well experiment with these barbarians who have taken refuge first. .

Let's see if this improved Tang Mi can work from the perspective of a preacher.

. . . .

In Tingzhou City, as soon as Zhang Zhao entered the city, Murong Xinchang walked in with two petite Uighur women.

There are two girls, one big and one small, the big one is quite pretty, and the small one looks good, but the body has not yet grown, and there is no curve at all.

"My lord, this is the daughter of the governor of Tingzhou in Gaochang state. I just took them to identify them, and I have found the governor of Tingzhou in Gaochang Uighur.

With his help, passing through the Baishui Jiandao would be easy. "

Baishui Jiandao is the Daban City of the later Republic. This is a long and narrow river valley road, which is the only way from Tingzhou and Luntai to Gaochang.

In the Tang Dynasty, Baishui Army City was set up here to guard the army, and the Gaochang Uighurs also put hundreds of soldiers here to handle the fortress.

It is also okay to attack directly with the army, but it is definitely better if you can call or deceive the Whitewater Army City.

Zhang Zhao nodded appreciatively, Murong Nobunaga has become more and more willing to use his brain recently.

However, he looked at Murong Nobunaga suspiciously, saying what he said, why did he bring two Uighur women here?
If he said he wanted to dedicate it to himself, but he didn't see any action!

However, when Zhang Zhao looked at her, Murong Xinchang's eyes were always on the smaller woman in front.

Zhang Zhao understood, this kid had his eye on this Uighur woman.

Poor baby!
Murong Xinchang is now 23 years old, but apart from Kang Jinshan's daughter Zhang Zhao gave him at the beginning, he has no other concubines, and Princess Yongle takes him very seriously.

Now that one wife and one concubine are pregnant, it is estimated that they are all overwhelmed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao suddenly felt a little sympathetic to himself, he now only has six wives and concubines, and he can't take any more casually.

Because of wives and concubines, if they are overissued, they will still cause inflation and depreciation.

Since he wants to rule the Central Plains, and marriage politics is the most effective means, before ascension to the throne, the wives and children around Zhang Zhao must be given the necessary candidates.

However, I think so, but Zhang Zhao will not stand up for Murong Xinchang.

"Let's settle in Tingzhou first, and ask your mother to help you talk about it when you return to Liangzhou."

. . . . .

Just when Zhang Zhaoda broke Saktu in Tingzhou, beheaded more than [-] Geluolu people, captured more than [-] people, and then surrendered Zhai Guozhong as the commander of the son of the son, rectified his troops and horses and prepared to cross the Baishui Jiandao. When Gaochang.

Liao Emperor Yelu Deguang also personally commanded an army of [-] troops, stationed in Yuanshi (south of Luancheng, Hebei).

At the same time, Xi Renhao and Chief Wei Wang were sent to serve as the West Route Army Xiangwen, and Zhao Yanshou was the vanguard of the East Route Army to attack the Later Jin Dynasty.

Among them, the Western Route Army's King Wei's head won the battle, and tens of thousands of Xiren's cavalry attacked Liu Zhiyuan by surprise at an extremely fast speed.

Successfully captured the Yanmen Pass in Daizhou, the gateway to the north of Taiyuan, and the forward reached Xinzhou, which could already threaten Taiyuan.

And Zhao Yanshou of the East Route Army, under the guidance of Neiying, bypassed Shenzhou, Jizhou and other states, and directly approached the city of Beizhou (Qinghe County, Hebei) by surprise.

Beizhou was an important town where the imperial court hoarded food and grass in the later Jin Dynasty. There were many defenders, so it could not have been captured easily.

But at this moment, Wang Lingwen, the Jiedu envoy of Beizhou Yongqing Army who was supposed to be in charge of defending this place, was ordered by Shi Chonggui to go to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo for an audience.

Who knows what Shi Chonggui is thinking!Such an important place, such a local official, was ordered to go to the court when the war was about to break out.

In Wang Lingwen's absence, the Beizhou Yongqing Army, which was suddenly attacked, was thrown into chaos.

Military Academy Shao Ke was usually fierce and rebellious, but when Wang Lingwen left, he was expelled from the Yongqing Army.

Just as the Khitan people were going south, Shao Ke secretly contacted Zhao Yanshou outside the city, and then recruited the scum in the city who also wanted to gain benefits, and suddenly opened the west gate of Beizhou at night, and the Khitan army swarmed in.

This important town of Beizhou, which had hoarded more than 150,000 shi of grain and grass, fell instantly.

Beizhou Yongqing Army Jiedushi Tuiguan, Beizhou Judge and other officials killed dozens of people, and hundreds of Yongqing Army soldiers who refused to surrender to the Khitan were all killed.

Even Wang Lingwen's family of more than forty members was taken away by the Khitans.

Zhao Yanshou got more than a hundred thousand shi of grain, and he was determined. While recruiting the scum of the Yongqing army to expand his army, he continued to go south, and the forward reached Puyang Nanle on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Only at this time did Shi Chonggui feel that something was wrong. The emperor who shouted that he would not be a vassal was very frightened.

He hurriedly summoned Jing Yanguang to discuss countermeasures, but Jing Yanguang never thought that the Khitan people would go south so quickly, so he was unprepared and had no countermeasures at all.

So he was recalled by Shi Chonggui to serve as the privy envoy, but Sang Weihan, who had no power and had been suppressed by Jing Yanguang, took the opportunity to propose a letter to Khitan, asking for peace talks, and Shi Chonggui immediately agreed.

Um!Good guy, there was an uproar, and hundreds of thousands of words were used to sharpen their swords. As a result, the Khitan talents broke Beizhou, and the court of the later Jin Dynasty used the trick of suing for peace.

What's even more strange is that Jing Yanguang didn't stop him, and Shi Chonggui readily agreed, and immediately sent Meng Shouzhong, who was familiar with the Khitan dialect, to the Yuan clan to seek peace.

And seeing the situation is so good, how could Yelu Deguang stop.

For the first time, he replied that Houjin ceded the two prefectures of Pingping, with [-] guan in money and silk.

Later, when the news of the victory of the West Route Army came again, Yelu Deguang simply replied to Shi Chonggui, "It has become a trend, and it cannot be changed!"

After receiving Meng Shouzhong's return, Shi Chonggui knew that it was impossible to seek peace, so he could only plan to use the Yellow River as a barrier to stabilize the situation first.

He ordered Gao Xingzhou to deploy for the camps in the north, and led [-] troops to Qicheng in the south of the Yellow River, and Zhang Yanze, the right Shenwu commander, to lead [-] troops to Liyang.

These two cities are both on the banks of the Yellow River, one is located in the north of Chanzhou (Puyang, Henan), and the other is located in the northeast of Chanzhou.

After Gao Xingzhou and Zhang Yanze stabilized the situation, Shi Chonggui personally led [-] imperial guards, and with Jing Yanguang as the commander of the guards' Ma Budu, he took full control of the imperial guards and stationed in Chanzhou to confront Yelu Deguang.

In addition, Shi Chonggui also ordered Liu Zhiyuan to be recruited by the Youzhou Dao camp to rectify the troops in Hedong and go north to block the Khitan army in Xinzhou.

To be honest, the strength of the late Jin army at this moment is still very good.

Gao Xingzhou, Fu Yanqing, Murong Yanchao, Huangfuyu, Wang Zhou, Pan Huan and other generals were brave, resourceful and loyal.

Even in the later period of Zhou Shizong and Guo Rong, these people were all famous generals who shined brilliantly.

Although Li Shouzhen, Zhang Yanze and other generals were cruel, they had no intention of surrendering to Khitan at the moment.

The imperial army of the late Jin Dynasty also had very good combat effectiveness. Since Shi Jingtang took the throne, he has only done two major things.

One is to hug Khitan's thighs tightly, sending gold and silk to the north of the Great Wall continuously, and the other is to rectify the imperial army.

This Shi Jingtang was born as a titan, of course he is very knowledgeable about soldiers. Under his rectification, the combat effectiveness of the Later Jin Imperial Army has been greatly enhanced.

The infantry consisted of well-known generals such as Jiao Jixun, and the cavalry included Shi Jingtang, a powerful Hucile from Zhang Zhao, and Huguang and his son, who led [-] horses from Liangzhou.

In fact, its combat effectiveness surpassed that of the Luoyang guards in the late Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Congke.

Moreover, although the court of the later Jin Dynasty did not approve of the war against Khitan at this time, they all hated the Khitan people.

Especially the warriors, because the goods that Shi Jingtang took to please the Khitan should have been given to them.

Therefore, although the military strength is slightly smaller than that of the Khitans, their combat effectiveness and fighting will are not low, and it can even be said to be very high.

Just after Shi Chonggui arrived in Chanzhou, Yelu Deguang also left Yuanshi camp and went south. At the end of October, the Khitan army reached the north of the Yellow River.

A war between the two sides is imminent.
