A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 1126 Killing

The Running Bull Amubuzai personally went to the west gate of Gongyue City to welcome the arrival of his father Heluo Shichuo. Hearing that his father led the tribal leaders to pay homage to the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, he had mixed feelings.

He had been devastated during this period, and had a special feeling towards Tang Ren. He hoped that his father could avenge him, but he was also worried that his father would suffer the same fate as him.

When he got the news that his father had arrived, he was a little disappointed. Even a great man like his father surrendered without a fight.

Heluo Shichuo rode a tall horse and came with about a thousand cavalrymen, all of whom were fierce and elite Turkic cavalry.

He also saw his son coming out of the city to greet him from afar.

Father and son meet,

Amubuzai jumped off the horse and walked up to his father.

Heluo Shichuo was a tall and burly man with braided hair and left-fronted clothes. Both he and his son had yellow hair and a high nose and deep eyes.

In the Turgesh tribe, there are two surnames, Huang and Hei. The hereditary leaders of the two major tribes, the Mohesuge and the Alishi, are both surnamed Huang.

The tribe also has a person with the surname Hei, who has black hair and black eyes.

These are obviously different races. The Turkic people themselves are related to the Tiele. The Tiele were previously the Dingling, which are white people with blond hair.

The Turks traveled all the way from the northern desert to the Western Regions, and finally settled in the Ili River Basin, where they merged with the local people such as the Sogdians to form the current Turks. They also had the surnames Huang and Hei. Generally speaking, the Huang surname was the most prominent.

Amubuzai took his father to an open space outside the city, which was their campsite.

The Turgesh knights began to unload their tents and other items from their horses.

The bull also brought some wine, milk, vegetables and slaughtered cattle and sheep from the city, and started to make milk tea and roast lamb.

The father and son sat on the blanket.

He Luo Shichu talked to his son and asked about the things happening here, not missing any details.

"The Chishi tribe of the Sanxing Gelulu refused to accept the Tang army's surrender and joined forces with the Sanxing Yan tribe, which is affiliated with the Mouluo tribe, to seize Gongyue City."

He Luo Shichu asked, "What was the result?" He had a hunch that it would not be a good result. The reason why he was so happy to leave Yigongyue City this time was actually because he had no choice.

He was in the tent at Jieshan and woke up early in the morning, only to find that the Tang cavalry had suddenly appeared near them. This caught him off guard and he was unable to gather his troops for a while.

Su Dingfang, who claimed to be the vanguard commander of the Tang Dynasty's Western Expedition, came to his camp with several riders. After a conversation, Heluo Shichu was surprised to learn that Duolu Khan's court had been breached, Duolu Khan had been captured alive, and had surrendered.

He saw the letter from Dulu Khan.

He treated Su Dingfang to a whole roasted lamb, and then said he would think about it.

The next day, a letter from his son Amubuzai arrived, saying that Gongyue City had also been captured by the Tang people. The details of the battles between Beiting and Gongyue shocked him.

After much hesitation, he still led a thousand cavalrymen north to pay a visit to the general manager.

He had to come. Su Dingfang's several thousand cavalry alone were enough to destroy his camp.

Moreover, knowing that the Tang army's westward expedition was so fierce, he dared to resist.

"What is that thunder-like weapon of the Tang Army?"

"I don't know. The Tang army kept it a secret. But they were really powerful. They brought down the city walls in an instant. Their knights also had handheld firearms, which were most lethal at 20 to 30 steps."

"The Chishi tribe and the Yan face group should have been defeated, right?" He Luoshi sighed. "Well, the Chishi tribe, which roams in the Shuanghe River Basin north of Gongyue, is quite powerful even though they have joined forces with the Yan face group to the north. But this time they are facing the Tang cavalry."

The Tang army leader who went to recruit the Shuanghe Chishi tribe was Niu Jinda. Although the soldiers led by Old Niu were not large, the core of his army consisted of two thousand elite cavalry of the Tang army, as well as some Turkic vassal troops.

After discovering that the Chishi tribe refused to accept the amnesty and was going to unite with the Yan tribe, Lao Niu acted decisively and took the lead in launching a surprise attack.

They attacked under strong winds and used their magic firearms to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. They pursued the enemy relentlessly, killing more than a thousand, capturing more than seven thousand, and capturing more than three hundred leaders of various ranks.

Hearing this result, He Luo Shichu was still shocked.

I thought the Chishi tribe could not defeat the Tang cavalry, but I didn't expect them to be defeated so badly.

Two thousand Tang cavalry, with some surrendered servants, were able to inflict such a terrible defeat on the Chishi tribe and the Yan army?
The Chishi tribe was one of the three Karluk clans. Although the Karluk people were not one of the five major tribes, their strength was not weak. They roamed the southern foothills of the Jinshan Mountains and belonged to a branch of the Tiele.

Because it is located between the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates, it has always been wavering between the two, and would be subordinate to whoever is stronger.

After the defeat of Jie Li Khan of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate, Nashina Hubo, a minor Khan of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate, led an army of more than 30,000 to surrender to Xueyantuo. Later, Xueyantuo became suspicious of his large force and prepared to destroy him. He led his troops to the north of Jinshan Mountain and proclaimed himself Yizhuchebi Khan. Basmi, Qarluk and others were all under his control.

However, Yizhu Chebi Khan also oppressed the Karluk people severely. The Karluk people did not want to become cannon fodder for Chebi Khan to resist the Xueyantuo, so they migrated westward. When Duluk Khan rose to power, they simply accepted the invitation and submitted to Duluk Khan.

The Chishi tribe was the strongest among the three Gelulu clans, and its strength was greatly different from that of the Moulu and Ta tribes. The Chishi tribe was originally the most active towards Duolu Khan, and therefore was allocated the former Wusun territory and the better Shuanghe River basin for grazing.

The Chishi tribe refused to accept the Tang army's surrender, and even joined forces with the Sanxingyan tribe, which was affiliated with the Moulu tribe, to attack the Tang army and rescue Duolu Khan.

But they didn't expect that they would be hit on the head as soon as they jumped up.

More than 300 leaders of the Chishi and Yan tribes were captured, more than 1,000 warriors were beheaded, and more than 7,000 were captured alive.

"I never thought the Tang people were so amazing."

Bull also agreed with his father's words. He had experienced it himself and was completely subdued by it.

"What exactly is the Tang army going to do?" He Luo Shichu was a little puzzled.

The Tang Dynasty is thousands of miles away from the Western Regions.

"I heard from Prime Minister Wu and the generals that they wanted to invite Dulu Khan back to Chang'an,"

"Does the Tang Dynasty want to fully support Shaboluoyehu Khan to unify the Ten Arrows Tribe in the Western Regions?"

"I don't think so," Gong Niu shook his head. "I heard that Prime Minister Wu wants to establish a new Khan of Beiting and maintain the two courts in the north and south of the Western Regions. He also wants to set up a protectorate in each court, which will be subordinate to the Anxi Protectorate.
The Ten Arrows tribe and the various Jijin tribes all have governorships and prefectures..."

"The Gongyue tribe has already established the Sihun Governor's Office."

He Luo Shichu settled down in the camp, had a delicious meal of roasted whole lamb, rested for a while, and finally waited for the summons from Prime Minister Wu.

Accompanied by his son, he entered the city and went to the city lord's mansion.

Wu Huaiyu was very elegant, even too young. He was very happy when they met and took the initiative to greet him.
After some pleasantries,

Wu Huaiyu proposed to set up two military governorships in the territory of the Turks, one to set up the Jieshan Military Governorship for the Mohesuge tribe and the other to set up the Eluzhou Military Governorship for the Alishi tribe, with the two military governorships located in the upper and lower reaches of the Yili River.

"What do you think, Dachu?" Wu Huaiyu asked with a smile.
