Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 454 Next time, God of War must return!

In the eighth year of Tianfu in the later Jin Dynasty, in January 943 AD, when the Liao and Jin sides were confronting each other in Qicheng, Zhang Zhaoyuan's battle against the Gaochang Uighurs ended so easily.

The difficulty of defeating the Geluolu people and the Gaochang Uyghurs successively was not even as difficult as that of Zhang Zhao leading his army through Moheyan and Shatuoqi.

Especially in the battle of Zetian Temple, Zhang Zhao's more than [-] cavalrymen defeated the [-] Uyghur cavalrymen of Gaochang in only one battle by means of a surprise attack, within two hours before and after.

At the cost of dozens of people killed and hundreds injured in the army of Liang State, more than 2000 people were killed just by the array.

The biggest reason for this exaggerated battle loss ratio is that Zhang Zhao used Saktu as a cover to deceive Jie Lipijia.

During the battle at Zetian Temple, the left and right Shenwu troops of Gaochang Uighurs were rushed to the front before they even had time to put on their armor.

Forced to use only bows, arrows and sabers to fight against the cloth-covered iron armor and horse spears of the army of Liang, of course they would lose so badly.

Of course, this also left a hidden danger for Zhang Zhao, that is, such a surprise attack is difficult to convince people, and others will think that you won by relying on despicable means.

Faced with more than 10,000 people of Gaochang Uyghur captives, Zhang Zhao has nothing to do.

Of course, we can't let them go and fight again, and use the method of capturing Meng Huo seven times to subdue them, so the only way is to follow the habits of the grassland people.

Zhang Zhao also suddenly understood why the victors on the grassland in the past dynasties killed all the men who were higher than the wheel on the defeated side.

One is to give the tribe a living space, and the other is for the sake of safety.

For example, these tens of thousands of prisoners of war who are familiar with bow horses are really dangerous.

If he doesn't handle it well, when his army is gone, he will definitely rise up and make trouble again.

Zhang Zhao also had no interest in moving them to the Qingtang Plateau like the Tubo people did.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Zhao led [-] cavalry to the foot of Gaochang City. At this time, there were only one or two thousand troops left to guard Gaochang City.

Zhang Zhao ordered Lu Sanlang to tie Jieli Pijia with both hands, and drag him around outside Gaochang City. The queen Gaochang and the right minister who stayed in the city directly opened the city gate and surrendered.

There are about [-] people in Gaochang City. It seems that the commercial roads are almost stagnant in winter, and there are not too many merchants coming and going, so there are about [-] fewer people than usual.

Outside the east gate of Gaochang, a large group of Gaochang nobles knelt on both sides of the gate, shivering in the cold wind.

Zhang Zhao leaned down on the horse and lifted Queen Gaochang's chin with the whip.

However, he was greatly disappointed. Although this Queen Gaochang looked younger, her appearance could only be said to be okay.

It would have been pretty good for Zhang Zhao if he hadn't traveled through time, but now, he has already been fed up with it, so he has no interest in it.

But when he looked behind the crowd, there were still a few good-looking ones, who seemed to be Jieli Pika's concubines.

Zhang Zhao galloped forward a few steps and came to a group of women. He took his right leg out of the stirrup and raised it slightly.

"Someone needs a servant right now, whoever comes out first to hug her leg, then she will be able to keep their family's wealth!"

Six or seven of them looked at Empress Jieli Pijia, who were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly moved.

Several women screamed and ran towards Zhang Zhao. The last woman in a blue jacket was the first to hug Zhang Zhao's thigh.

Seeing this group of women scrambling for each other, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Liang Kingdom burst into laughter together. This is the due treatment that belongs to conquerors.

And Jieli Pijia, who was being escorted by Lu Sanlang, was about to burst into tears, he howled madly a few times, and wanted to rush towards Zhang Zhao.

However, the soldiers who guarded him would not let him be used to it. The two soldiers punched and kicked him, and then grabbed a lot of Baixue and stuffed it into Jielipika's mouth forcibly until he until the mouth is full.

"Where are your father and brother?" Zhang Zhao stretched out his arms and hugged the princess of Jieli Pika onto the horse.

He was very young, sixteen or seventeen years old at the most, although his lips were a little purple from the cold, and he was trembling constantly because of fear.

But she has a pair of eyes like autumn water, her skin is as fair and delicate as milk, her nose and mouth are small, she is quite beautiful.

And although it looks quite thin, it is plump in the hand and feels very good to the touch.

Just as Zhang Zhao lifted the woman onto the horse, three Gaochang Uighur men walked up to Zhang Zhao's horse on their knees.

Zhang Zhao didn't even look at them, but said softly, "The three of you, immediately follow the arrangement of Xueshi Guo to protect your wealth."

After hearing this, the three were overjoyed and kowtowed like garlic. Guo Tiance also rushed forward, ready to take the three away. He knew what Zhang Zhao wanted to do.

The Liang army, which started from the Guiyi army, basically didn't plunder, but this didn't mean that they didn't need the goods and women in the city, they just didn't like to use the method of not sealing their swords for three days to get them.

And this Gaochang is an important node of the Silk Road on the northern route. After finally getting to the current situation, it can't be killed. This is a chicken that lays golden eggs.

Therefore, it is a very particular matter to earn enough goods to reward the army without harming Gaochang's vitality, and it requires the cooperation of several local nobles.

But when Guo Tiance was about to leave, Zhang Zhao stopped him and pointed at a bunch of concubines of Jieli Pijia.

"Choose one, don't worry, Si Niang doesn't dare to say anything to someone who rewarded you."

Guo Tiance was dumbfounded. His wife is Zhang Zhao's niece, who is quite powerful on weekdays. The matter of taking a concubine was mentioned several times, but Zhang Siniang didn't agree.

Guo Tiance couldn't help but look forward, they were all beauties!And those beauties also stretched their necks to look at him, their eyes full of longing.

But when he thought of the power of the tigress at home, Guo Tiance couldn't help but shook his head, and he said loudly.

"This is a princess, not for the subjects to enjoy."

"You shitty princess!" Zhang Zhao cursed indifferently.

"I have ruled the thirty prefectures in Longyou Shuofang, Hexi, and the women I accept are not qualified to be concubines. What kind of concubine is this? I didn't let you choose a queen with solid virtue."

Zhang Zhao didn't care much about these things, but the queen of Jieli Pijia still couldn't reward them casually, so it was the owner's responsibility anyway.

Even if he doesn't like it, he can only get it to be refrigerated in the harem, or kill him with a knife, and he must not reward the people below.

But these so-called concubines who can only be counted as wives, it doesn't matter.

When Guo Tiance heard what Zhang Zhao said, he immediately stepped forward happily, choosing left and right, his eyes were a little dazzled, and he felt that everyone was as beautiful as a fairy, and he didn't know who to choose.

"It's worthless!" Zhang Zhao felt that Guo Tiance was about to lose his face.

"Choose quickly, that's right! Remember to choose one for Pei Yuan."

Pei Yuan had a wife and a concubine, but his concubine was either overly frightened when he was evacuated from Tokyo, or because he was not acclimatized in Liangzhou, and died of illness soon after.

This Pei Yuan's regular wife is also in poor health, and after giving birth to a daughter, she dare not get pregnant again.

Continuing the incense is a big deal, Zhang Zhao just asked Guo Tiance to choose one for him to go back, Pei Yuan's reaction is secondary, the main thing is to show that Zhang Tianwang is sympathetic to the ministers who have made meritorious service.

With such a score, there are still four left, so Zhang Zhao is not going to divide it up, and save it for meritorious deeds and rewards, and then he waved his hand.

"Enter the city!"

The three armies answered with a bang, and laughter resounded all over the field.

The Uyghur palace in Gaochang is much worse than the Yongxun Palace and Yongshou Palace in Liangzhou. It is completely built in the form of palace tents, but it is much better than Zhang Zhao's journey to eat and sleep in the open.

All the servants and maids in the palace were detained. This is Zhang Zhao's rule. He would rather use the guards around him than those who are deeply favored by Jieli Pijia.

But even though he entered the palace and got a beauty, Zhang Zhao didn't start enjoying himself right away.

In addition to arranging the defense of Gaochang City and quickly letting the soldiers have a rich Shangyuan Festival, he also had to deal with the more than [-] Gaochang Uyghur prisoners outside.

Ti Luoda Gan Pu Gucheng is much older than before. Although there was a fight in the ancient city of Loulan, Zhang Zhao didn't intend to pursue it. Instead, he brought both Pu Gucheng and Yuniang's father over.

Yu Niang was the first concubine Jieli Pijia who hugged his thigh. Their family was the descendant of the Khan of the Uyghur Khanate in the past.

Moreover, it is said that she is also a descendant of the grandson of Guangqin Kedun, the eldest daughter of Pugu Wynn.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao let out a long sigh. Back then, Tang Ting was able to marry Pugu Huai'en with his two daughters far away, for the sake of peace for the country, and to force all those who would kill each other to turn against him. This is also a skill.

"My original intention is not to kill more, but in the past, Pugu Jun was too vicious. The descendants of the four towns in Anxi, who have been loyal to the country for decades, he even traps and kills them. This is the ancestors asking for disaster for future generations.

De Weng will help Xueshi Guo well. All the families that participated in the Xizhou ambush in the past must be cleaned up. The men will be beheaded, the women will be slaves, and the brocade and silk goods will be used to reward the army. "

Yuniang's father, De Weng, quickly accepted the order and agreed. This kind of thing is common among grassland peoples. It is a great kindness not to slaughter the city.

"Dagan went to the barracks and selected three thousand warriors. For the rest, I don't think they would surrender with peace of mind. They might rebel or something."

Zhang Zhao's words were a bit rambling, but Pu Gucheng understood them almost instantly, and quickly kowtowed to accept his orders.

Only then did Zhang Zhao feel relieved, and went back to the inner palace to enjoy the tenderness.

Sure enough, around noon the next day, Lu Sanlang brought Pu Gucheng to report.

The surrendered troops outside the city rioted last night. Lu Sanlang was ordered to suppress them.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Shangyuan Festival, when Zhang Zhao was enjoying the tenderness of Princess Jielipijia in Gaochang, Shi Chonggui also led [-] forbidden troops and returned to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo.

In the two battles outside Qicheng, although the Khitans took advantage of the darkness to run away, they lost their helmets and armor, and did not take all their luggage with them. Therefore, in Shi Chonggui's heart, he won this battle.

So he dispatched troops to recover the lost ground, and ordered Gao Xingzhou to deploy to the north of Chanzhou and sit in Chanzhou.

Fu Yanqing, Hucile, Huangfuyu and others led their troops northward, recovering Weizhou, Beizhou, Bozhou, Zhaozhou and other places along the way.

He also ordered Li Shouzhen to mobilize 20,000 people from Yunzhou Tianping Army and Yanzhou Taining Army to cross Qizhou to conquer Yang Guangyuan who had retreated to Qingzhou to die.

At the same time, Jing Yanguang, who returned to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, was relieved. He didn't even want to give up the power in his hand.

So he framed Wang Xu, a courtier who had an old grievance with him, and tortured him even more, and killed him after confessing.

Jing Yanguang originally wanted to use this kind of cruelty to deter those who criticized him and asked him to step down, but this made everyone fearful and dissatisfied at the same time.

The matter finally came to Shi Chonggui's place. Faced with the surging public opinion, Shi Chonggui was able to dismiss Jing Yanguang and drive him to Xijing as a left-behind.

Since then, Sang Weihan came to power again and became the official prime minister of the Later Jin court, while Shi Chonggui happily returned to the harem, playing with Feng and others.

However, Yelu Deguang will not stop there. After licking the wound, next time, I, Emperor Daliao, will definitely return to the God of War!
