Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 855
Qin Lang's memorial was sent to Chang'an, but did not cause any disturbance in the imperial capital.

The city of Chang'an with millions of families is becoming more and more lively. In the golden autumn of October, after the autumn harvest, every place is busy holding village drinking ceremonies, and there are many more scholars in Chang'an city who come to study and take exams.The autumn is crisp, neither hot nor cold, just in time to come here.

What everyone is concerned about is that this year’s autumn harvest in Guanzhong and the Central Plains is also a big harvest. The rice in Chang’an has stabilized at [-] yuan per bucket of rice, wheat at [-] yuan, and corn at only [-] yuan. Otherwise, even places like Guanzhong may drop to two or three dollars per bucket of rice.

Moved into the office of Zhengshitang in Zhongshu Provincial Yamen, and has been busy with one thing recently, foreign affairs.First, the turmoil in the Western Regions has been settled. After the Mud War, although he was a little reluctant, he finally led his troops to Suiyeqianquan Mountain Khan Court under the urging and persuasion of Changsun Wuji, and finally moved the west from Congling , Shule, Khotan, Qiuci, Yanqi in the north to the Tianshan Mountains, and Gaochang in the east were all handed over to the Tang Dynasty.

When he left, he took away all the Tutunfa Turkic aristocrats who had been stationed in several countries by the Western Turks. The Turkic people are in a dilemma, and they are forced to be disabled, so they are naturally very happy.

They welcomed the new Tang Dynasty very much, just like when the Western Turks came from the east on big horses with hundreds of thousands of riders, and drove away the disgusting people who were pressing on them before.

Ni Shi went to Qianquan Mountain in Suiyechuan, Changsun Wuji also returned to Chang'an, but Datang left several towns of soldiers and horses in the area south of Tianshan Mountain, with a total of more than [-] troops stationed, and they are building beacons along the Silk Road day and night. Terraces, post stations, and commercial halls, all the key points of the throat, are busy with troops stationed in fields, immigrants and pioneers.

At the same time, the Tang Dynasty also named Ashina Yugu, Ashinasheer, and Tiele's Qibi Heli from the original Eastern Turks as county kings, granted them little khans, and placed them in the Western Regions. They brought their own tribesmen and horses , Nominally belonged to the Western Turkic Khan Nishu, but in fact, like the Tocharian Yehu and the Khazar Yehu, they were all out of Nishi's control.

On the other hand, the emperor placed the three county kings of the Hu nationality who had already ascended the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty and the county lord to the Western Regions, but it was also a calm resistance to Xue Yantuo, the emerging overlord of Mobei.

Xue Yantuo, like the Qibi tribe, belonged to the strong Tie Le family at the beginning, but later he opposed the Turks, turned west and east, and tossed and tossed constantly, and finally returned to the southern Datang and picked the Eastern Turks.Once the Eastern Turks were wiped out, Xue Yantuo took advantage of it, and quickly took over all the land in Mobei, and even wanted to reach out to Monan.

When Siyehu Khan in the Western Regions was arrogant, Datang provoked a little, and Yi Nan led Xue Yantuo's army to march west, and taught Siyehu what 30 years in Hexi and 30 years in Hedong were.

After the war, Yinan wanted to occupy the area west of Jinshan Mountain to the northeastern part of Tianshan Mountain.

It’s just that Li Shimin’s eyes were sharp, and the prime ministers in the political affairs hall at that time were also unambiguous, and famous generals such as Qin Lang, Li Jing, and Li Ji all played to the emperor, and Xue Yantuo would never be allowed to get involved in the west of Jinshan. The three leading tribes, Ashinasheer and Ashinasheer, were blocked in the area west of Jinshan.

He also awarded rewards to the original West Turkic Wudulu tribe, Tuqishi, Chumi and other tribes, put pressure on Yinan, and finally ordered Yinan to withdraw his troops, and at the same time gave him a reward, and on the other hand, let Mobei's The frequent actions of the Huihe tribes made the Yinan's backyard unstable, so they finally had to lead their troops back to the Mobei land east of Jinshan.

The circling and planning here is very exciting.

Anyway, after Yi Nan returned to Mobei, he was very angry. He felt that he had been fooled by Datang from the beginning to the end. With so much effort, he was basically the one who defeated Si Yehu. In the end, he didn't take any advantage. The ministries didn't get it, the name and name didn't get it, the cattle and horses didn't grab it, and Datang and Ni got all the benefits, and I wasted my efforts in vain.

The more he thought about it, the more angry the barbarian, first ordered the soldiers and horses, and then beat the Huihe tribe who had made small moves behind their backs. They hurriedly begged for mercy and apologized, and finally Datang ran out to fight again.

One thing is not over, another thing starts again.

The Western Regions did not occupy, taught his own anti-bone boy and made Datang sidelined. In the end, Li Shimin actually got rid of Yu Sheshe Ashina, the fat ball who turned his back on his ancestors, recognized Qin Qiong as his father, and changed his name to Qin Guozhong. He actually named that pig the Great Khan of the Eastern Turks, and asked him to lead the Turkic tribes back to their hometown of Mobei.

To restore the Khan court in Mobei.

This time, Yi Nan's heart was severely hurt.

Three times and five times.

After Mobei was swallowed by Xue Yantuo, is there any reason to spit it out again?If you don't give it to Monan, you won't give it to Jinshan. Now it's okay to push Huihe back, but you still want to let the Turkic people come back to Mobei now?
What do you mean?
The camaraderie we had at the beginning was completely gone.

Although the face was not officially broken, the relationship between Datang and Xue Yantuo was tense.

Qin Guozhong became the Great Khan of the Eastern Turks, the county king of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin's brother-in-law. He took many Turkic people who had moved to the front line of the Great Wall and began to walk north, preparing to cross the desert and return to Mobei.

The Yi man didn't talk too much. Since Datang didn't give him face, then he didn't give Tian Khan any face. He directly mobilized his soldiers and horses, crossed the desert first, and ran to Monan to prepare to ambush Yang Guozhong's men and horses. They were wiped out, and took the opportunity to go south to snatch the Monan area, and even planned to set up a southern court directly in the former Eastern Turkic Dingxiang Khan Court.

It's just that although Yi Nan is careful and courageous, Tie Le is not monolithic at this time.

Although the Bodhisattvas of the Huihe tribe once supported Yinan as the great sweat of the Tiele people and resisted the East Turkic Jieli Khan together, but later the Tang Dynasty wooed the Huihe tribes very much, and they were canonized and rewarded, frequently hinting that Xue Yantuo What the barbarians can get, so can your Huihe Bodhisattvas.

He can sweat profusely, and you can sweat profusely, too.

The Turkic people have two tribes, the Eastern Turkic and the Turkic, each with its own sweat. Why can't the Tiele people be divided into the East and the West, with both sweats standing side by side?

Although Yinan is fierce, he is young and energetic. He has never been very good at dealing with old guys like Bodhisattva, the leader of Huihe. If there is dissatisfaction, the Bodhisattva will be even more unwilling to be controlled by the barbarians when the Tang Dynasty keeps fighting behind him.

The last time Yinan went west, the Bodhisattva was doing trouble in Mobei. Yinan came back and dealt with the Bodhisattva severely. He lost a lot of people and horses by beating him. In the end, he compensated a lot of cattle, horses and alpacas, and even sent one of his lovely granddaughters They were all forced to marry barbarian men as concubines, and the old Bodhisattva was also full of anger.

This time the barbarians led troops south to attack Yang Guozhong. The Bodhisattva claimed that he was sick and could not follow the call, so he sent his own son to lead the troops to join the expedition.

Yi Nan made careful preparations, but as a result, Yang Guozhong had just walked to the White Road of Yinshan Mountain, and before he had passed Yinshan Mountain, he received a secret letter sent by the emperor urgently.

Yang Guozhong broke into a cold sweat from fright, and immediately led his troops to the Yin Mountain.

On the one hand, he asked for help from the Tang army in Daibei and Hetao, and on the other hand, he urgently called Li Simo, Shidanai and other chiefs to lead their troops to help.

Shi Liji, governor of Bingzhou, Qiao Shiwang, governor of Xiazhou, and Zhang Jian, governor of Daizhou, led troops to help.Li Jiyi was a bold man, not satisfied with defending the south of Yinshan Mountain, and proposed to attack on his own initiative, using his tactics.

Li Shiji asked Yang Guozhong to continue to raise his banner, pretending not to know Xue Yantuo's strategy, and made a lot of noise in the Baidao area of ​​Yinshan Mountain, as if he was about to go north.

However, he led Qiao Shiwang and Zhang Jian to secretly gather [-] fine cavalry from the frontier army, and Qingqi quietly went north.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Xue Yantuo was still quietly ambush, preparing to overthrow Yang Guozhong, but he didn't know that the ambush he thought was a secret had long been reported to Datang by the Huihe people.

So on a foggy morning, Li Shiji's 2000 troops quietly detoured and found the Xue Yantuo people. Fortunately, Yi Nan was also a fierce man.

It was discovered on the outskirts, but it failed to get close to the Yinan camp, and fought with a Xue Yantuo army at a distance of about [-] miles.

After a fierce battle for half a day, more than [-] ranks were killed, and more than [-] cavalry were captured.

Although they were victorious, the sneak attack plan also failed. Yi Nan led a large army to encircle him, and Li Ji calmly retreated to the south of Yinshan Mountain.

The two sides confronted each other across the Yin Mountain for half a month. Finally, Yinan saw that there was no chance to take advantage of it, so he had to retreat and go north. However, Yinan did not withdraw all the troops, but sent a few brothers to lead some of the troops to stay in the desert. To the south, with Yang Guozhong and Tang Jun taking Yinshan as the boundary, they refused to return these territories to Datang.

Things are getting more and more deadlocked.

There are voices in Chang'an City that are getting louder and louder, that is, to send troops to cross the Yin Mountain, and even go to Mobei to destroy the Yinan.It's just that compared to the strong fighting spirit of the people, whether it's the Zhengshitang or the Ganlu Hall, the prime minister and the emperor are still very calm.

Fighting wars, Datang can fight at this time, but it is not worthwhile to go to Monan or even Mobei to fight, especially at the moment, although Yinan is domineering, he does have capital. He has 20 elite cavalry under his command, although Xue Yantuo Not as strong as the Turkic cavalry, Xue Yantuo people are good at forging iron, they have not weak armor ability, not only leather armor but also iron armor, so Xue Yantuo has a very special and proud cavalry armored infantry, fast maneuvering, Good at shooting and strong defense.

Yi Nan also relied on this fast horse, iron armor and sharp arrows to crush all the tribes in Mobei to death.

The imperial court may not be afraid of them, but it is not worth fighting, and the risks are not directly proportional to the benefits. Most of the prime ministers of the Zhengshitang have the opinion that let the Turks fight with the Xueyantuo people in Monan, and then unite with the Huihe people in Mobei. Shangxi, Qi, Xi and other northeastern tribes played with Xue Yantuo.

Datang only needs to wave the flag and shout from behind, and sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Anyway, as long as the flames of war do not reach the border of Datang, they can stay calm for the time being.

Li Shimin also supported this. The expedition to Xue Yantuo was too costly and risky, and it was nothing if he won, but if he lost, it would be terrible, and Li Shimin was not willing to take such a risk.

Ever since, the Zhengshitang is now busy fighting with Xue Yantuo every day. Both sides maintain restraint. Yang Guozhong, the Great Khan of the Eastern Turks, now has to stay on the White Road for a while, using the black city as a temporary court, which puts Li Simo, the little Khan in the south of the Eastern Turks, in an embarrassing situation.

On the other hand, although the people of Goguryeo were largely suppressed by the Tang Dynasty, they still came to make some troubles from time to time, always complaining and complaining, and even the Liaohe border was always not peaceful.

The prime ministers of Zhengshitang not only have to appease the sullen Western Turkic Khan in Suiye Qianquan Mountain, but also are busy fighting wits and courage with Xue Yantuo Yinan Khan in Mobei, here they have to appease the bluffing Goguryeo people from time to time .

At this time, no one really has the energy to pay attention to the riots in the south of the day. What is 20 to [-], thousands of miles? Yes, no one cares too much. The waves came, or in other words, everyone trusted Qin Lang and Li Daliang who were in charge of Lingnan, and believed that no matter how big the mess was, they would be able to suppress it, so they didn't bother to worry too much about that side.

After the Zhengshitang received the latest memorial, it just pasted a yellow ticket on the outside of the memorial. The draft on it was also extremely simple, only three words were written, and then it was forwarded to the emperor through the Yintai Department.

When the scholars of the Imperial Academy helped the emperor sort out the memorials, after reading them, they just classified them as insignificant. When they were playing, the academician Cen Wenwen presented some important memorials about the latest situation of the Xue Yantuo Department in Mobei. In front of the emperor, he briefly reported some other matters verbally.

Regarding Qin Lang's story about the fight against the barbarians in the South of the Five Ridges, it is just a passing sentence. The Juding Man was defeated. His female chief led the people to flee to the Southwest and the Barbarians. Li Daliang led the Jiaozhou Army to continue the pursuit. , the war situation is as good as ever.

Li Shimin hummed.

He stopped the ink brush in his hand and raised his head.

Cen Wenwen immediately stopped playing the report, waiting for the emperor's instructions.

But the emperor pondered for a while, but finally just nodded, and then said, "Continue!"

after a few days.

When Cen Wenwen played the matter, he also reported Qin Lang's progress in pacifying the barbarians verbally, set up the land of seven states in the old place of Juding, and captured more than 15 rebels...
Li Shimin asked in surprise, "Have you caught so many barbarians?"

Regarding the seven prefectures established by Qin Lang in Juding Barbarian Land, Li Shimin also nodded his approval. The Juding Land was divided into seven prefectures, one of which belonged to Yunnan Province, two prefectures belonged to Guangxi Province, and one prefecture belonged to Guizhou Province. Middle Road, and the remaining three states belong to Guangnan Road.

Walking to one side of the bookshelf, he took out a map, and Li Shimin swiped his finger on it, gesturing to Qin Lang's marching route against the barbarians, as well as the newly established land of seven states.

The imperial grandson Li Xiang's fiefdom Juding Prefecture is located in the northwest corner of Annan Road.

"Now that Juding has been conquered, let the East Palace arrange some people to go to Juding to start building the Juding Governor's Mansion and the Dunhuang County Prince's Mansion, first send people to manage and manage it on behalf of Xiang'er, and go to Jiufan to guard it after the coronation ceremony.
