Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1026

Siye brought a jug of wine and came to Murong Shun's tent, the two of them drank wine and ate roast leg of lamb, it was quite pleasant.

"If there is such a good wine on Dafei Mountain, life will not be so difficult." Murong Shun's face turned red after drinking a few glasses of wine.

"This kind of wine can only be regarded as ordinary in Chang'an. Chang'an has hundreds of kinds of famous wines, each with its own flavor, and they are very good. When I arrive in Chang'an, I will ask the emperor for some pots of the best imperial wine. Let's have another drink." Get drunk and rest."

Murong Shun's hand holding the glass was stunned for a moment, the liquid in the glass swirled out a little.

"To Chang'an?"

"Well, His Majesty ordered you to come with me to Chang'an to meet the emperor."

After the battle of the Qin army, the soldiers returned to the military mansion, and the general returned to the court, but what did Murong Shun go to Chang'an for?At this time, isn't he the Tuyuhun Khan who is needed to rule the fief?
If you want to go to the emperor, you should wait until this place is stable before going.

"Would you like to go later, Murong Anyuan has not been caught yet, and there are still many rebellious tribes who have not yet joined."

Siye shook his head slightly at him.

Murong Shun, who had been a hostage in the Central Plains for ten years, suddenly understood.

After the battle was over, the Western Turks withdrew their troops and went back to the Western Regions to guard their old nests, while Tubo was afraid that the Qin army would not dare to be an enemy, so it had already voluntarily withdrawn to Tubo.

Murong Ke and Tianzhu King were defeated and killed again.

Then what is the use of Murong Shun?Great Qin is fully capable of occupying Tuyuhun, so how can the Tuyuhun Khanate exist again?Murong Shun, who had been in the Central Plains for ten years, learned the most useful thing, that is, he learned the way of thinking of the Han people in the Central Plains, and knew how to think about the current situation in Tuyuhun from their perspective.

For the Tuyuhun people, perhaps this war was just a battle for the throne between him and the Murong Ke brothers, and it was a royal strife.But for Daqin, this is not the case at all.

bitter.

Unwilling, but powerless to resist.

If he had known this earlier, why would he take the risk of launching a mutiny, and in the end he would be called a father-killer and king-killer.In a civil war, Tuyuhun lost his country, and he was a sinner of Tuyuhun.

"Don't worry, when you arrive in Chang'an, you will still be a prince, and you can enjoy wealth and leisure for the rest of your life." Siye patted him on the shoulder and said.

Murong Shun smiled wryly and could only sigh helplessly.

He has no capital to resist at all, and he can't even find an ally when he betrays the Great Qin. Although Tubo and Western Turks are enemies of Qin, they will never be his friends.

"Okay, I'll bring my wife and children with me. Once I go, I won't come back at all. Chang'an and Luoyang are prosperous, maybe it's better."

When Siye walked out of the big tent, Murong Shun was still drinking wine alone, at first he thought the wine was very mellow, but now he only felt that the more he drank it, the more bitter it became.

off account.

Feng Xiaoci was wearing armor, holding a horizontal knife in his hand.

"how?"

Siye nodded, "He is willing to go to Chang'an, and he also said that he would bring his wife, concubine and children with him."

"Haha, he's quite acquainted."

Changan.

It was already mid-August at this time, but Guanzhong Chang'an was still scorching hot. Except for a little cooler in the morning and evening, it could kill people every noon.

"Why are there endless tigers this autumn? It's much hotter than in previous years."

"Because there was a big war this year, and many people died."

"What does that have to do with wars and dead people?"

"Of course it has something to do with it. God is dissatisfied."

A few passers-by wiped their sweat, talking nonsense.

"However, the fight is finally over. If we continue to fight, we are afraid that the barbarians will kill us."

"Hey, just because of those ugly and stupid beards, they can also fight here? Do you think it is still a few years ago, when the emperor of the holy text, god and martial arts is in power, he is a holy king, and he is protected by heaven. Those barbarians can Stepping half a step into the territory of my Great Qin can be regarded as an achievement."

The people in Chang'an don't seem to have much personal experience with this year's Northwest War. The imperial court did not increase any war donations, nor did they borrow money from the rich.

Although countless officers and soldiers from the Sanya went to the front line, and millions of civilian husbands were also conscripted to deliver food.But compared to when the Sui Dynasty conquered Liao Dynasty, it was quite different.

The civilian husbands recruited this time are more of a relay service.

Many people only serve in the county or even within the county, and some don't even go out of the county boundary.

So for them, Guanzhong is still thousands of miles away from the frontline battlefield, and they only heard about the war from newspapers and other places, and they never saw the war at all.Serving in the rear relay, there will be no casualties or the like.

In comparison, the people in Hexi, Longyou, had a heavier task this time. They had to send the food and military equipment that was relayed from the rear to the front line.Some were even sent directly to the front. For example, among the 3 soldiers and civilians trapped in Dafeichuan, there were more than [-] Longyou County soldiers and peasants. of.

For the people in Guanzhong, even if they are drawn to do labor, it is usually one ding per household, and even two dings for a household with a large number of people, but it does not have a big impact. There is not much difference, even the court has long said that this service can also be paid at a discount.

If the government has no money for the time being, it can also be used to offset the two taxes in the coming year.

In the north of Chang'an City, on the original Dragon Head.

In the Qingliang Palace, the governors of the palace have already begun to summarize the results of the war. Although there are still wars in the Western Regions, it is only a road, and it is no longer a national war that affects the entire empire.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Yaojin and Tie Le's army have broken through the Yanqi Kingdom, captured its king Long Tuqizhi, and the Western Turkic Army led by the Western Turkic Tutun stationed in the Yanqi Kingdom has also been defeated and routed."

"She Kui has already led his troops to leave the Khan Court of Sanmi Mountain in Kucha, and go far away to the Thousand Springs by the Suiye River in Shiguo to rebuild the Khan Court. It is frustrating to travel thousands of miles to the west."

The military situation in the Western Regions is not bad.

Xue Wanche made a surprise attack on the Yiwu country, and then the Qin army secretly escorted King Gaochang back to the country for restoration, and got rid of the pro-Turkish king Gaochang who was supported after the Western Turkic Mutiny, so Gaochang fell into the hands of the Qin army.

With the advance bases of Yiwu and Gaochang in the Western Regions, especially after Gaochang fell into the hands of the Qin army, the Qin army occupied a very favorable situation and caught the Western Turks by surprise, let alone Gaochang and Yiwu. The money, food and population can supplement the military rations of the Qin army and assist in the transportation of food and grass. This solves the big problems of logistics, food and civilian husbands.

King Yanqi was also pro-Western Turks, and his queen was the daughter of She Kui, so she worked very hard. She also had the official position of West Turk Tilfa granted by She Kui. There are soldiers and horses stationed in Yanqi, so after Gaochang was captured by Qin, Yanqi immediately organized troops and horses to prepare to counterattack Gaochang.

It has to be said that there are dozens of countries, large and small, in the Western Regions, but in the decades of Western Turkic management of the Western Regions, the effect is still very obvious. The Western Turks have successfully incorporated the countries of the Western Regions into their ruling system.

All the kings were awarded the post of Lifa, and at the same time they sent Turkic officials to various countries as Tutun, and stationed soldiers and horses.

All countries have to pay taxes to the Western Turks, but the countries can keep it, and the kings also maintain their status. This is equivalent to the feudal system of the Western Turks.

The Western Turks are the central court of the Western Regions, and the countries are the enfeoffed countries of the Western Turks. Under this system, the countries of the Western Regions can enjoy a high degree of autonomy under the rule of the Western Turks.

The Western Turks then tied these large and small countries firmly to their chariots through marriage and other means. Unfortunately, although King Yanqi was very loyal, he was no match for the [-] Qin troops led by Cheng Yaojin and those who came from Jinshan. The [-] Tie Le front army and nearly [-] troops attacked in one round, directly breaking the capital of Yanqi King.

King Yanqi had hoped that Shekui would come to rescue him, but Shekui had already traveled northwestward for more than 1000 miles from the Khan Court of Sanmi Mountain in Guici to Qianquan by the Suiye River in Shiguo, where he reunited. Set up the Khan flag and establish a new Khan Court.

Until the Yanqi Kingdom was broken, Yanqi King Long Tuqizhi never saw a single soldier from the Western Turks come to help.
