Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 793

Chapter [-] Official Promotion Situ Baishanggong
Since the death of Ye Hu, the Khan of the Western Turks, news spread to the Western Regions.Civil strife broke out immediately in the Western Turkic Khanate, and Ashina Buzhen was proclaimed the Great Khan of the Eastern Turkic Khanate. , Tochara, Yanqi, Shiguo, Shiguo, Heguo, Muguo, Kangguo, etc. are all subject to its festival.

If we say that when he was a small Khan, Ashinabu really didn't have much ambition, but after he was proclaimed as a Great Khan, his ambition began to grow like grass after the rain.

In terms of blood, he was originally the fifth grandson of Shidianmi Khan, the successor of Western Turkic Khan, and the elder brother of Mohe Duyehu Ashina Mishe.But he is the successor of the golden blood.However, Ashina Buzhen was very unlucky. He encountered the rise of the Tang Dynasty, and inevitably had irreconcilable conflicts with Chen Ying, the governor of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty.

Ashina Buzhen originally wanted to fight Chen Ying to the death, but he never thought that before Ashina Buzhen assembled the trilogy, he would get Tuqi Shihai Donghe Luo Shichu to lead the trilogy to surrender to Chen Ying.This made Ashina really angry. If the tiger doesn't show its power, it will treat me as a sick cat?In fact, although the eastern part of Tuqi Shihai is a large tribe with tens of thousands of people, in the eyes of Ashina Buzhen, even if Tuqi Shi is added together, it is completely a sandbag of Western Turks. Fist, kick when you are in a bad mood.

However, this sandbag actually changed the family, which is really unbearable for the uncle, and neither can the aunt.

Ashina Buzhen, who was scared away by Chen Ying's [-] Anxi army, completely vented his anger on Haidong. The ancient city of Pilang in the eastern suburbs of Kuqa).

Turks were originally blacksmiths in the Rouran Khanate, and even "Turks" means helmets, and Yiluolu City is another important iron and steel smelting base in Western Turks, second only to Altun Mountain. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Chao set up the Western Regions, set up the Western Regions Protectorate here, garrisoned and opened canals, agriculture flourished, and the economy developed.Digging ditches and setting up beacon towers is where the Han soldiers settled and resisted the Xiongnu.Li Daoyuan recorded the grand occasion of smelting here in his "Shui Jing Zhu": "There are mountains two hundred miles north of Quci (that is, Kucha), with fire at night and smoke during the day. People take this mountain stone; smelting This mountain iron will be used by 36 countries."

Ashinabu is really not a fool, as soon as he made a move, he went straight to He Luoshi's vital point. Haidong supplied his iron and weapons. After losing Haidong, Ashinabu really can only rely on the wooden stick in his hand to fight. .In this city of Yiluolu, He Luoshi also left more than [-] soldiers to defend.

It's just a pity that Ashina Buzhen led an army of [-] to rush forward, and the more than [-] soldiers in the eastern part of the sea resisted for less than half an hour before being defeated by Ashina Buzhen. Luo Shi will definitely surrender if he can't beat him, he has no morals at all.But it's different now, he has a new master, that is Chen Ying.

He Luoshi has also suffered a lot during his journey. The prairie is always full of hostility. The vassal tribes who are pro-affiliated to the Western Turkic Ashinabu really want to use his head to claim credit for Ashinabuzhen. The neutral tribes see Hitting their people and livestock, he rushed to bite them when he saw the opportunity. In the process of crossing the Harasa Desert, he lost many people. When he stumbled to Shule, he had already survived. Out of shape.

However, seeing the tens of thousands of people outside Shule city sweating like rain to harvest the wheat, and seeing the four-wheeled carriages transporting the finished carts to the sun-drying field, He Luoshi made a judgment: "There is no direct military resistance." Chen Ying was one of the few correct choices he made in his life!

It is not that there is no agriculture in the Western Regions. Like the original Gaochang Kingdom, Jinman, including Yiwu, Qingjue, Loulan, Cheshi, Qiuci, Wensu, and Shule, there is agriculture, but the amount is not large, far from enough for the entire Western Regions. For example, the fields outside Shule City are only about [-] to [-] mu. However, the army under Chen Ying has already defeated the Western Turks, and they did not even give them a chance to set fire to them. Fields, taking the harvested crops as their own.

Beside He Luoshi, a tall man wearing a dirty mouse fur coat, a big man riding Shi Shi greedily looked at the long dragon formed by the wagon full of golden wheat, licked his lips, his eyes glowed green, and said : "A lot of food... If we send troops to take Shule down, the food will be enough for our entire tribe to feed for two years!"

The big man's words were approved by all the soldiers of the Tuqi Shi, and He Luoshi sternly shouted: "Kasur, don't always think about robbing, use your brains! How powerful are the Gaoche people in Shule Plain! , the Tang army can even defeat the powerful Gaoche people, and looting their territory is no different from courting death!"

Kasur said helplessly: "But what can we do if we don't rob us? We don't know how to grow food, and we have very few livestock. If the Tang people refuse to sell us food, we can only starve to death..."

He Luoshi was even more annoyed and wanted to scold him, but he couldn't scold him when he thought of the tragic situation of changing sons within the tribe, so he finally sighed heavily and said, "That was in the past, remember, forget about Tuqishi's identity, and never From now on, we are people from Tang Dynasty, people from Great Tang Dynasty, even if we die, we are still people from Tang Dynasty.”

In this era, the status of the Tang people is much more noble than the green card of the later generation Yingjiang.Whether it is the Central Plains or the Western Regions, at least Tang people do not have slaves, even if they are aristocratic clans, they are all employed.

Looking at the soldiers of the Tang Army who were busy repairing Shule City, He Luoshi was a little puzzled.The Tang army actually demolished the four city gates of Shule, and each gate opened a big opening more than fifty feet wide. On this gap, camps began to be set up.

He Luoshi suddenly realized that Chen Ying was not afraid of the Western Turkic attack at all, so he dared to do this.

Actually, He Luoshi only guessed half right.

As an important commercial city on the Silk Road, Shule City is too small.A city that can be filled with only 5 to 30 people definitely does not meet Chen Ying's requirements. In Chen Ying's mind, Shule City should be a prefecture city with a population of [-] to [-] people.

Therefore, Chen should keep the city wall of Shule City, which is the inner city and four main arterial roads, and continue to build outwards. Before winter comes, it can accommodate 20 soldiers of the Anxi Army, and has [-] to [-] stones of grain seized in Shule City. Chen Ying can rest assured to eat a lot
The beginning of spring next year.

While Chen Ying was looking at the materials seized in Shule City with great interest, He Luoshi ran up to Chen Ying, hugged Chen Ying's thigh and howled loudly, "Dear General Chen, something is wrong, Ashina Buzhen, that dog thief led his troops to kill Yiluolu City, his subordinates were incompetent, and lost Yiluolu City!"

"Yiluo Lucheng?" Chen Ying was taken aback.

After a while, Chen Ying remembered that the so-called Yiluolu City was a smelting city in the Kuqa oasis north of Qiuci. It was said to be a city, but it was not even a town in the Central Plains. The surrounding area was surrounded by earth walls less than a foot high, so the city wall was naturally enough to defend against the invasion of wild animals, but it was almost useless to serve as a defense city.As long as the Western Turkic cavalry rode on horseback, they could turn over directly without even using ladders.

Although he doesn't like the city of Yiluolu City, as for the steel resources of Yiluolu City, Chen Ying doesn't think too much, after all, the mining of steel is money.

Hearing that Ashina Buzhen actually mobilized troops to seize Yiluolu City, Chen Ying thought for a while, and immediately ordered: "Zhang Shigui, Luo Shixin!"

Before Chen Ying gave the order, Su Dingfang said: "General, why use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken? It's enough to deal with mere Ashina Buzhen!"

Zhang Shigui nodded in deep thought.

Luo Shi said: "Anyway, idle is idle, let me go!"

Su Dingfang smiled and said: "General Luo is the mainstay of our Anxi Army, so don't move lightly, let's go as the last general!"

Seeing the dispute between Luo Shixin and Su Dingfang, Chen Ying waved his hands and said, "Stop arguing, Su Dingfang, you lead the [-] Yue cavalry army!"

Su Dingfang was overjoyed when he heard the words.

Luo Shixin looked depressedly at the calm Zhang Shigui and said, "Why don't you want to go to Yiluolu City?"

"It's not necessary?" Zhang Shigui said with a faint smile: "Ashi Nabu really shouldn't be a fool, otherwise he wouldn't be able to become the Great Khan of the East. Of course he can use light cavalry to raid Yiluolu City, but he must If you take one blow and go away, General Su may have run away to Yiluolu City, and Ashina would have disappeared long ago!"

Luo Shixin suddenly realized when he heard the words.

However, Chen Ying shook his head and said: "It's really not necessarily true. You must know that people's eyes are black, but gold is yellow. Ashenabu really can't move more than 800 million catties of steel in a short period of time. He won't give up easily..."

When Luo Shixin heard this, he became even more anxious.

Chen Yingdao: "You don't have to worry, the Western Turks are divided, but once we defeat Ashina Buzhen, other Turkic people will realize that no matter who they are, it is impossible to resist our Tang Dynasty alone, so they will fight against us in a short time. Reach an alliance internally, unanimously externally, fight some battles..."

……

In the Taiji Hall of Chang'an, Li Yuanduan sat on the throne, and the civil and military ministers of the Tang Dynasty stood on the left and right sides.Li Yuan got up, looked at the ministers and said indifferently: "Liang Guogong, the captain of the son-in-law, and Chen Ying, the general of the town, have been well dispatched since they took charge of the Western Regions. Since they took office, they have been conscientious and diligent. Organize the soldiers to reclaim the fields, supply food and fodder, and be self-sufficient, so that the soldiers on the front lines of the Western Regions can have peace of mind. The expansion of the Western Regions for three thousand miles, Liang Guogong has contributed a lot. In order to reward Liang Guogong’s achievements, I decided to worship Liang Guogong as Situ..."

There was an uproar in the hall.

Some of the officials were envious, some were jealous, and some were gloating.

Li Yuanji's eyes shot fire, and he squinted at Li Yuan angrily.
