A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 1204: King of the Western Regions Wu Pingzhang

The sudden death of King Kucha shocked countless people.

Sima Xuegu and Wu Ren ran straight to Wu Huaiyu and asked, "Wouldn't it be too simple and crude to just kill Su Fadie?"

"Do you think I was the one who killed Su Fadie?" Wu Huaiyu asked back.

Xue Gu Wu Ren looked at Wu Huaiyu, his expression clearly revealed his thoughts, wasn't it you who killed him?
"Why would I kill him?"

"Pingzhang wants Qiuci to cede three states, but Sufadie refuses." Xue Gu Wu Ren said.

"If he refuses, shall I kill him?"

"Is not it?"

Wu Huaiyu was speechless. Even the Sima Xue Gu and Wu Ren of the Grand Protectorate thought so. It was estimated that the Anxi soldiers in Dashi City, as well as the people from the Turks, Shule, Kucha and Yanqi countries, also thought so.

Xue Gu Wu Ren sat down, "I think the King of Kucha Su Fadi should be killed. This guy is too ungrateful. He was asked to give him three states, but he refused with all sorts of excuses. Such a person should not be allowed to stay."

"It's just that, Pingzhang, we acted too quickly and too directly. The impact is not good." Xue Gu Wu Ren, a burly warrior, sat there and advised Wu Huaiyu not to be too rough and to be strategic. "Su Fadie is ungrateful. Just bear with him for a while. It won't be too late to deal with him later. There's no need to rush."

"Nanting Ji went to Juebobu Khan before, and he was a little hasty. Now the King of Qiuci is doing the same. If this continues, our Anxi Army will lose its credibility in the future."

A grown man, he even gave some earnest advice.

This was also because Wu Huaiyu was the prime minister, the prime minister, and the protector-general, and had always been favored by the emperor. He had also made great contributions in the Western Regions. Otherwise, Xue Wu Guren would have reported Wu Huaiyu twice long ago.

Prime Minister Wu acted too arrogantly and violently.

Not only did he kill Buzhen Khan, who had rebelled before, but he also killed Yuzhishijin, Chishishijin, Chuyueshijin, Yanmianshijin and others.
Now, Bobu Khan, who had never rebelled, and the King of Kucha, were both killed suddenly.

"It really has nothing to do with me." Wu Huaiyu said.

Xue Gu Wu Ren didn't believe it. The last time you summoned Bobu Khan, you wanted to transfer Tokharistan, Transoxiana, south of the Tianshan Mountains, Khazare and other areas from Nan Ting to Anxi for direct administration. Bobu disagreed and died suddenly when he returned that night.

Yesterday you asked the King of Kucha to cede three pieces of land to Anxi, but the King of Kucha disagreed and died suddenly that night after you returned.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Wu Huaiyu also knew that this matter could not be explained clearly, but it was definitely not him who did it.

The last time, Bobu Khan did it, and it was indeed he who agreed with what An Lushan did.

He waved his hands, not wanting to argue with Xue Gu Wu Ren. This guy was big and strong, and although he was a senior general and the Right General, he was indeed a brainless person.

"Sufadie's sudden death is not entirely a bad thing for the Anxi Protectorate. I am sure that Sufadie died at the hands of Helibushibi, but the real people behind the scenes must be the Prime Minister of Kucha, Nali, and the general Jieliedian."

Xue Gu Wu Ren took a big sip of tea and thought seriously, "What Pingzhang said is right. Let's publicize it like this. Su Fadie was poisoned by his brother, the prime minister and the general.
Let's just go all out. I'll lead my troops to take down Helibushibi, the prime minister of Kucha, and the generals. Then we'll do the same as Shule, support a child from the Bai family to be the king, arrange for one of our own to be the governor of Kucha, set up a Kucha town, send troops to Kucha, and keep it firmly under control."

Wu Huaiyu had to admit that Wu Ren was really cruel.

Some people say Wu Huaiyu is too simple and crude, but he is even simpler and cruder.

It's simple, but it's indeed feasible.

However, if they really did so, the Tang Dynasty would no longer have any credibility in the Western Regions and would be nothing more than a bandit.

This is not conducive to long-term stable rule.

"I'll say it again, it was definitely not me who killed Su Fadie, and it had nothing to do with our Anxi Army."

Xue Gu and Wu Ren left.

But Wu Huaiyu knew that although he said he believed in Wu Huaiyu, he must still be convinced in his heart that he had killed the King of Kucha.

I guess everyone thought so at that time, except for the group led by Helibushibi who actually murdered the King of Kucha.

They were throwing a handful of yellow mud into Wu Huaiyu's crotch, which was already shit.

"Helibushibi, hum."

Wu Huaiyu snorted coldly, picked up the teacup and sipped it carefully.

The King of Kucha died suddenly in the camp, and he came to see Wu Huaiyu early in the morning to report the death. This is not enough to prove that he murdered the king.
But this guy was just the king's younger brother, but he told Wu Huaiyu directly what the king's last words were, that he was willing to cede Wensu, Gumo and Weitou to the Tang Dynasty.

This was quite sufficient to prove that he had murdered the king, or that he had been involved in his murder.

He used the three places in exchange for Wu Huaiyu's support for him to become the King of Kucha. In this deal, Helibushibi was clearly selling out his country.

But this kind of thing seems more real.

Wu Huaiyu is now taking the blame for him.

This blame is not so easy to bear, Wu Huaiyu will not be polite.

He wants Gumo, Wensu and Weitou, but this is not enough.

He could make Helibushibi the King of Kucha or the Governor of Kucha, but the Anxi Army would set up a Kucha Military Town in Kucha, station troops there, and send a general to serve as the Kucha Garrison Commander. The Kucha Garrison Commander would not only command the Anxi Army stationed in Kucha, but also the Kucha soldiers, and the command would also be handed over to the Kucha Garrison Commander.

At the same time, the Turkic Kucha Tutun was going to evacuate with his people. If he stayed, he would no longer have the privileges he had before.
The Turkic Khanate no longer had any power to collect taxes in Kucha.

In other words, the commander of Kucha actually replaced the original Turkic Tutun and did almost the same job, leading troops to supervise the Kucha Kingdom and collecting taxes, etc.

During the years when the Turks controlled the Western Regions, Qiuci was also controlled by them. Now that the Tang Dynasty has become the overlord of the Western Regions, Wu Huaiyu has also reached a clear agreement with the Turkic Khans. The countries south of the Tianshan Mountains are no longer under the jurisdiction of the Western Turkic Southern Court, but are directly under the Anxi Protectorate.

Therefore, it is only natural to let the Turkic Tutun in Qiuci withdraw and let the Anxi army move in.

If Sufadi was still in power, there might have been some more negotiation over this matter, but the truth lies in the sword, and in the end Kucha would have no choice but to obey the will of the Tang Dynasty. There might have been rebellions and conquests in the middle, but the result would not have changed.

Now the golden god is dead,

After changing to Halibushibi, he asked the King of Shule about the name of this prince's brother, which means golden divine flower in Sanskrit.

Sufadi's father's name means golden flower, and Sufadi's own name means golden god.
Now the prince’s younger brother’s name is quite interesting. The golden divine flower encompasses the meaning of his father and brother’s names.

The Golden Divine Flower came to pay a visit today, and his attitude was okay, which showed that he was a man of vision and able to see the times, and was worth cooperating with. In other words, this guy was a coward and had no courage.

The Six-Fingered King said that his wife, Ashina of the Turkic clan, had an affair with the Prime Minister Nali. This matter was not only known to everyone in the Kingdom of Kucha, but had also spread throughout the Kingdom of Shule.

How can a prince who doesn't even dare to stop his wife from cheating on him have any courage?

Therefore, he speculated that Sufadie was actually killed by the two powerful ministers, Prime Minister Nali and General Jie Liedian, who then pushed forward this cowardly brother to be the king, but in fact he was just a puppet.

Such a coward is indeed a good puppet.
Wu Huaiyu was also willing to cooperate with him first and let him be the King of Qiuci and the Governor. If it was really as Xue Gu and Wu Ren said, they would announce to the public that it was Helibushibi and his men who murdered Sufadi, and then the Tang Dynasty would send troops to destroy them under the banner of justice, and then directly destroy Qiuci, and make Qiuci, like Gaochang, a state directly under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty.

Doing this will really make everyone feel insecure.

this day,
People are panicked,

The most nervous was the King of Yanqi, Long Tuqizhi. Yanqi was located between Gaochang and Qiuci, and its strength was inferior to Gaochang, Qiuci, and even to Shule.

Now Gaochang has become the Western Province of the Tang Dynasty, and Shule also has the Tang Dynasty governor, the Tang Dynasty's Shule garrison commander, and 5,000 Tang troops.

The King of Kucha refused Wu Huaiyu's request to cede land during the day, and died suddenly at night.
How can the Longtu Cavalry not panic?
Wu Huaiyu didn't see him.

He knew what King Yanqi was worried about, but he had no intention of comforting him now, let alone making any promises to him.

Because in fact, sooner or later the Tang Dynasty would conquer all the oasis city-states south of the Tianshan Mountains, set up prefectures and counties, and rule them directly.

This is the ultimate strategic goal.
As for how to achieve the goal, it is just a matter of looking for the opportunity, or finding the right reason to create such an opportunity.

The truth is so cruel.
The strong prey on the weak. As long as there is a chance to annex something, they will never hesitate, let alone care about morality.

There is no real morality between countries.

The atmosphere in Dashicheng became a little depressing.

The younger brother of the King of Kucha, Helibushibi, the Prime Minister Nali, the General Jieliedian and others all announced that King Sufadi had a sudden illness and died despite medical treatment. As for what the illness was, they also revealed that it was a sudden stroke.

Stroke, also known as brain infarction, in ancient times also included cerebral hemorrhage, which is a serious disease that can easily lead to sudden death.

So after Kucha confidently announced the cause of the king's sudden and unexpected death, at least everyone felt that they had a way out.

Many people still think that Sufadie was killed by Wu Huaiyu, and the reason is the previous death of Bobu Khan.

But no matter what they thought, at least the Anxi Army had just won a series of victories.
He conquered Shule and destroyed the two kingdoms of Kepandu and Zhugupa.

Now the King of Kucha is also dead,

Wu Huaiyu appointed Helibushibi as the governor of Qiuci and reported to the emperor to confer him the title of the new king of Qiuci. The prince's brother also took out Sufadi's last words.

Not only were the territories of the three kingdoms of Gumo, Wensu and Weitou placed under the direct jurisdiction of Anxi, but the Anxi army was also asked to set up a military town in Qiuci and send a garrison commander to lead the Qiuci Tang army and Qiuci soldiers.

The Tang Dynasty's Anxi Protectorate, located in the west of the south of the Tianshan Mountains, suddenly established nine new states.

Two military towns, three guard cities,

Shule and Qiuci, with 10,000 Tang troops stationed in Anxi.

In a short period of time, he quickly destroyed the two countries and subdued them. With such power, even if the kings of the various countries, the khans of the various tribes, and the Jijins had some ideas in their hearts,
But no one dared to mention it at this time.

Don’t you see, Bobu Khan rejected Wu Huaiyu in the daytime and died suddenly in the camp at night. The King of Kucha rejected Wu Pingzhang in public in the daytime and also died suddenly in the camp at night.

In the whole incident, apart from the sudden death of the golden god Sufadi, the most unlucky person should be Tutun of Kucha. He originally wanted to maintain the status quo.
They even went so far as to instruct Nali and his men to kill Sufadie, and then promote Helibushibi as the new king. Unexpectedly, Wu Huaiyu took the blame for them, and not only took away the three areas in the western part of Qiuci, but also set up a military town in Qiuci, sent a garrison commander, and completely replaced the Tutun of Qiuci.

Faced with the handover order given to him by Wu Huaiyu, Qiuci Tutun felt mixed emotions and was full of reluctance.

How can I be willing to accept that after making all the calculations, I have ended up doing nothing but making wedding dresses for others?
