Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1190 Qin Huaiyu and Xiao Yu
Yili has 72 princes and [-] coalition troops.

All the way to the south, where they passed, the tribes of the Western Turks dared not resist, they had to provide food and supplies, and they dared not complain.For fear of offending these princes, they will be wiped out if they disagree with each other.

It's really that these princes are too damn famous, look at those general flags.

Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, Shan Xiongxin, Zhai Rang, Huang Junhan, Pei Xingyan, Xue Wanche, etc., which one is not a famous general.

Although Qin Qiong is now the Minister of the Ministry of War and Ping Zhangshi in Luoyang, worshiping the prime minister, but his ten-year-old eldest son, Qin Huaiyu, under the protection of his family general, played the banner of Qin Qiong. The 200 people in the Qin family's fief are also strong.

And the Cheng family, the Yuchi family and other princely families whose patriarchs served in the court or locality were mostly led by brothers or sons, and the family members followed.

There are even more than a dozen princes who came here in person. They have not held court positions for the time being, so they came in person.

The commander of the coalition army is the former prime minister Xiao Yu. This duke has been operating in the Yili fief since he was dismissed as prime minister. This time, everyone invited him to be the commander of the coalition army, because he was a prime minister after all, even now He also has the honorary title of prince and grand master.

Xiao Yu didn't shirk it, anyway, it was just an honorary title, and to fight the real war, he still had to rely on the dozen or so real warriors.

Tondo City.

Tian Meng led hundreds of troops out of the city to meet them.

"The Patrolling Battalion is Masada Meng, welcome Liehou!"

Tian Meng's face twitched involuntarily as he looked at the big row of purple-robed bosses in front of the coalition army.Damn, anyone above the third rank can be a prime minister, and the six third-level envoys of the local Taoism and the big bosses from the three provinces and six ministries are all no more than the third rank.

But now, there are a lot of big bosses in purple robes here.

There is no way, who said that these people are all princes of the court, or the sons of princes.

In the Great Qin system, the eldest son of the princes was canonized by the emperor as the son of the princes, and enjoyed the same level of treatment as the princes.

But Yili's 72 princes are all princes and marquises.

The founding marquis is regarded as the third rank, which means that even the heir of the founding marquis is regarded as the third rank, and he can also wear a purple robe and jade belt and enjoy the treatment of the third rank.

Tian Meng looked for a figure among the crowd of purple robes, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

Xiao Yu saw through what this guy was looking for at a glance, and said directly, "King Yili is not feeling well, so he did not come this time, and specially sent Mao Bushun to come here on his behalf."

Luo Siye, the king of Yili, was the only one in the clan who was sealed in the Yili River Valley. Luo Siye had made great military exploits and was deeply admired by the soldiers in the army.

He didn't come this time, not because he was really unwell, but because the coalition of 72 princes came, but after all, he didn't get the order of the court, only a letter of request from Cheng Yaojin, the governor of Anxi, and the other princes don't have to worry too much.

But Siye couldn't do that. He had a special status, so he avoided being unwell in the end, and everyone knew it well.

Compared with other princes who were not in the fief, they sent brothers or sons, but Siye's daughters were all killed by Li Yuan before, and although he married another daughter of the Cui family of Boling as his wife, and took several concubines, the children also He was still very young, so it was impossible for him to come here instead of his father.

Tian Meng was secretly disappointed that he didn't see the Great General Wang. He used to be a soldier under Siye's command, and now he really wanted to see his old boss again.

The princes entered the city, and the coalition troops stationed outside the city.

"Tian Zhengzheng, what's the current situation of changing cities?"

After entering the city, Xiao Yu asked questions.

"Back to Duke Xiao, just now there was another great victory in Bahuan City. Commander Xu of the Patrolling Battalion took the initiative to attack outside Bahuan City, defeating more than [-] Kucha strikers, and captured the striker's coach Kucha Guoxiang Nali alive. , and wiped out [-] enemies and captured more than [-]! After this great victory, the cities near and far were shaken, and dozens of cities took the initiative to come to Bachang City to ask for surrender, and Commander Xu has already sent troops to take defense."

Xiao Yu stroked his goatee, "I didn't expect Monk Xu to be so fierce. It seems that I waited too much. It's the same without us." The princes were also very surprised.This monk Xu, after this battle, is estimated to have a bright future, and another star will rise.

Both times he defeated ten thousand enemies with hundreds of riders, which is simply the level of a super famous general.

"I was still worried that Monk Xu would not be able to defend the city. Now it seems that it is too much to worry about. Liu Heifu, the cavalry regiment over there, just led his troops into Wulei, and Ashinami shot the Gongyue Department as the forward to attack the capital of Kucha. Now that Changan City is so stable, I think we can all go back like teachers."

The ten-year-old son of Qin Qiong, Qin Huaiyu, hasn't seen the people of Kucha yet, so he doesn't want to go back.It was the time when young people liked to play, and this time they finally came out, they wanted to see some big scenes, and even wanted to try their own martial arts riding and archery, so how could they want to go back.

"Grandpa Xiao, we have traveled thousands of miles all the way, and now we have not seen the enemy, so we go back. This is too hasty. The King of Kucha has not been captured yet, so we can't withdraw. I also want to visit the capital of Kucha. Just take a look."

"Hahaha, the old man said that the withdrawal is just a joke. It can't be taken seriously. If the soldiers and horses come out, it's enough. Now that they have already left, they have to make meritorious deeds." Xiao Yu actually opposed the use of troops against Qiuci this time.

But opposition is opposition, but it has already been fought like this, so you can't hold back. No matter what, you have to finish this battle, and you have to fight it beautifully.Otherwise, why would he come out to be the commander of the coalition army and come here in person.

"Tian Meng, we won't delay here any longer. After taking a break, we have to cross the mountain pass to change the city."

"Don't Duke Xiao rest for a day or two before leaving?"

"No, it's better to finish this battle as soon as possible. The longer the delay, the easier it is to have long nights and dreams."

"Duke Xiao was too worried. Now that the Kucha Kingdom is doomed, we are three hands pinching the snails, so be sure."

Xiao Yu ignored Tian Meng, there were some things she couldn't explain to a small team.

After resting for an hour, the coalition forces continued to head south and directly crossed the Bodaling Pass.The coalition forces arrived at Dashicheng before dark, which was originally Wensu Kingdom, one of the 36 southern kingdoms in the Tianshan Mountains.

When the army arrived at the city, Xiao Jin, Zhang Shigui and others came to greet them.

On the banks of the Hulu River, Xiao Jin told Xiao Yu and the others a piece of good news. Not only is Dashicheng owned by Daqin, but more than 200 villages in more than [-] cities along the Hulu River have also been coerced and lured by Xiao Jin during this period of time. Hit, all subdued.

"Xiao Jin, which Xiao are you?"

Xiao Yu sized up the young man with a hideous scar on his left eye and asked.

Xiao Jin looked at the person in front of him with a complicated expression, "Lanling Xiao."

"Which room?" Xiao Yu asked again.

"Qiliang room."

Lanling Xiaoqi Liang Fang, this is the branch where Xiao Yu belongs, and it is also the branch that came out of the two dynasties of Southern Qi and Nanliang.This branch produced 21 emperors and [-] prime ministers in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

"Xiao Jin, there doesn't seem to be a generation related to Jin in the family." Xiao Yu said, the children of famous families all have rankings, and the same generation usually takes the same generation character, or a radical, such as Xiao Yu, he This generation is the word next to the word Wang, his brothers Xiao Cong, Xiao Xun, etc. are all like this.

"My father is jealous."

"Xuan, Xiao Xian's father?" Xiao Yu immediately thought that Xiao Xuan, the father of Nanliang Emperor Xiao Xian, was Xiao Yu's peer, and Xiao Yu's grandfather, Xiao Xie, was also Xiao Xuan's grandfather.Xiao Yu and Xiao Xuan are cousins ​​of the same grandfather, and Xiao Xian is Xiao Yu's nephew.

Now Xiao Jin said that his father is Xiao Xuan, and he is also Xiao Yu's nephew in terms of seniority.

"My son Xiao Rui is of the same generation as Xiao Mian." Xiao Yu meant that Xiao Mian's generation is all the generation next to the word Jin, and the word Jin is obviously not.

"My mother is a concubine, and my mother and son are not valued at home, so I didn't get the golden name." Xiao Jin said bluntly.

Xiao Yu believed it a little now, Xiao Xuan's branch was relatively poor in the Sui Dynasty.

Xiao Yan's grandfather, Xiao Yan, was the Zhonglie King of Anping. In the early years of Emperor Kaihuang, he betrayed the Sui Dynasty, left Xiliang and surrendered to Chen Dynasty.

Therefore, Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xian, and Xiao Jin's father and son lived in poverty in the Sui Dynasty. Xiao Xian, the legitimate son, could only make a living by selling books.As for Xiao Jin, who was born to a concubine, his father didn't want to see him when he was still in the Chen Dynasty.

Xiao Yu was surprised that Xiao Jin was Xiao Xian's brother, but he actually worked in Daqin.After hearing Xiao Jin briefly describe his background and experience, he couldn't help sighing.

"With ambition, there will be great achievements in the future." Xiao Yu praised.

At this time, many people, such as Zhang Shigui, Xu Xiucai, etc., including Zhang Laosan from the former patrol team, realized that King Xiao Yan actually had a brother who was the emperor in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Xiao Gong, please enter the city."

Xiao Yu patted Xiao Jin on the shoulder, "I have the same grandfather as your father, you should call me Congfu."

Cong's father, the son of his grandfather's brother, Xiao Yu is younger than Xiao Jin's father, so he is also called Cong's uncle, which is a very close relative of the same clan.

But Xiao Jin still just crossed his hands and saluted, "Please enter the city, Mr. Xiao!"

Obviously, although Xiao Jin reported himself as the Lanling Xiao family, he didn't intend to recognize Xiao Yu as his uncle's relative.
