The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 310: Revenge and Suppression of the Huihe
[Since the An-Shi Rebellion, the Huihe have become an indelible nightmare for the northwest of the Tang Dynasty.]

[On October 788, , the fourth year of the Zhenyuan reign, the Uighur Khan submitted a petition, requesting that the name Uighur be changed to Uighur, meaning "as swift as a falcon," and Emperor Dezong agreed.]

[In the fourth year of Kaicheng (839 AD), the Uighur Prime Ministers An Yunhe and Tele Chaige secretly plotted rebellion and were killed by Khan Zhangxin.]

[The Prime Minister Ju Luowu led his army outside and bribed the Shatuo chieftain Zhuye Chixin with 300 horses to borrow troops to attack Zhangxin Khan. Zhangxin Khan was defeated and committed suicide. The people of the country established Kejitel as Khan.]

[At this time, the Uighurs' mortal enemy, the Kyrgyz, took the opportunity to invade, led 100,000 cavalrymen to defeat the Uighurs, killed the Uighur Khan and the prime minister, and burned down the Uighur royal court.]

[The fifteen tribes of the Uighurs, including the Prime Minister and the Special Military Commission, fled west to the Karluk tribe, and one of them fled to Ganzhou of Tubo, and was called the Ganzhou Uighurs.]

[One group fled to Anxi and were called Anxi Uighurs.]

[One group was led by Uighur Khan's brother, Umes.
According to historical records, the team stretched for more than 60 miles, with no end in sight.

[The army marched south to meet the Tiande army and requested to protect the frontier and submit. ]

……

Tang Dezong Period
"boom!"

Li Shi, dressed in tattered clothes, slammed the table and stood up!

"Send an envoy to Anxi as soon as possible! Tell Guo Xin and the others the news!"

"The Khitans are still here!"

Looking at the messenger running out the door quickly, Li Shi put his hands behind his back and couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

Prime Minister, oh Prime Minister, I know you don't agree with my idea of ​​making peace with Tubo and breaking off relations with Uighurs.

Because you are afraid that the Western Regions will be lost.

But since the Khitans still exist, things are completely different!

Guo Xin and his men will lose the Western Region even if they defend Anxi. They will also lose the Western Region if they don’t defend Anxi!
He would not come back even if we asked him to, and insisted on defending the Western Regions!
it's good now!

The Khitans are our clan relatives!
As long as we have the Khitans, there is still a chance to recover the Western Regions.

You have no reason to hold on this time, right?

Come back with the Anxi Army quickly!
Anxi Army once again...

Li Shi looked at the sky and smiled.

A vassal state? Humph!

……

Tang Xianzong Period
Li Chun was stunned when he saw the Uighur Kingdom being conquered by the Khitans.

"Does the Khitan Empire still exist?"

Little Li Yan, who was carried over, looked at the sky, tugged at Li Chun's sleeve and asked blankly:

"Father, who is this person?"

Li Chun looked at the little Li Yan, who was about seven or eight years old but looked a little silly, and secretly glanced at Queen Guo.

Queen Guo nodded slightly.

You’re not mistaken, he is Heng’er’s fifth child!

Li Chun smacked his tongue, picked up little Li Yan and said:

"In the 22nd year of Zhenguan, the Khitans came to submit and acknowledge their kinship. They said they were descendants of Li Ling of the Han Dynasty."

"Emperor Taizong recognized this marriage and agreed to establish the Jiankun Commandery in the Khitan territory, which was subordinate to the Yanran Protectorate, and conferred the title of General of the Left Tunwei and Commandery of Jiankun on the Khitan chieftain, Shilifa."

"Later, in the first year of the Yonghui reign, Emperor Gaozong sent Gao Kan to lead elite cavalry to attack Yizhu Chebi and captured him and brought him back."

"The entire Mobei region was incorporated into the Tang Dynasty, and the Khitans used this opportunity to shake off their status as a Turkic vassal."

"After the fall of the Turkic Khanate, the Khitans became one of the subordinate tribes of the Xueyantuo."

"In the third year of Tianbao, the Uighur Khanate rose to power, and the Khitans fought against it."

Little Li Yan looked at Li Chun who suddenly stopped in thought and tugged at his sleeve.

"Father... then what?"

Li Chun looked at the child and then at the sky, with a complicated expression:
"In the fourteenth year of Tianbao, the An-Shi Rebellion broke out... The Huihe sent troops to help the Tang Dynasty suppress the rebellion..."

"The Khitans took advantage of the Uighurs' lack of rear support to attack them."

"In the 17th year of Tianbao, after withdrawing from the Tang Dynasty, the Huihe concentrated their forces to attack the Khitans. The Khitans were defeated miserably and could no longer communicate with the Tang Dynasty."

“…In the first year of Jianzhong, Emperor Dezong implemented the national policy of making peace with Tubo and breaking off relations with Huihe.”

"However, the Uighur Khan Dunmohe insisted on implementing a reconciliation policy of 'washing blood with water', which eventually changed Emperor Dezong's hostile stance."

"I later learned that the reason why the Huihe wanted to reconcile with the Tang Dynasty was because of the threat from the Khitans in the northwest."

"But...we are a step late..."

"In the second year of Jianzhong, the Huihe defeated the Khitans, and the Khitans disappeared from the scene. Unexpectedly..."

Little Li Yan looked at Li Chun, who had a complicated expression, scratched his head and asked:
"Father, is the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Khitans good?"

Li Chun sighed and nodded.

"Your country is of the same clan as mine, and is not comparable to other nations."

"Moreover, the bow and arrow are so powerful that they can move forward wherever they go."

"If Emperor Dezong knew that the Khitans were still there, the Anxi Army might..."

……【Tian Mou, the governor of Tiande Army, submitted a petition requesting to unite with Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, Shatuo and other tribes to send troops to expel Umosi.】

[Li Yan summoned his ministers to discuss the matter. Most of them agreed with Tian Mou's proposal, but Li Deyu firmly opposed it, believing that not only should they not attack Umes, but they should also be provided with food and grass to support them.]

【Tang Wuzong immediately ordered Tian Mou, the commander of the Tiande Army, to restrain his soldiers and not to attack the Uighurs first.】

[And transport 20,000 hu of grain to provide relief to his people. ]

[Emosi submitted to the Tang Dynasty, and his army was named Guiyi Army. He was named General Zuo Jinwu by Emperor Wuzong of Tang and was given the name Li Sizhong.]

【Give his tribe 5,000 hu of rice and 3,000 pieces of silk.】

……

Datang.

Li Shimin looked at the prime minister named Li Deyu and nodded with satisfaction.

"Prince, do you know why this minister did this?"

When the ministers heard this, they knew it was a test for the crown prince but also a demonstration of his position.

But is the prince okay?

Li Chengqian saluted slightly to the emperor and empress who were sitting at the top, then stood up and said loudly:
"The Tuyuhun and other tribes are indecisive. It's hard to say whether they will come to help or not. Even if they do, their determination may not be firm."

"And the Tang army stationed in Tiande alone is probably not able to deal with the Huihe army whose formation stretches for 60 miles."

"At this time, the Tang Dynasty may not be sure of victory. If it fails, the consequences will be disastrous."

"While the Huihe people who have come to join us have not yet done anything excessive, we should appease them first."

"If they really don't listen to my advice and invade our border, I will mobilize all the troops to attack them!"

"This is to use courtesy before force, and it is a last resort."

Li Shimin glanced at his ministers, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

That’s right, the prince is not a stubborn person unless he is forced into a corner.

……

[In February 841 AD, the thirteen Uighur tribes in the northern part of the Great Wall supported Ushitegin as Ujie Khan and moved south.]

[When the Khitans broke through the Uighur royal court, they captured Princess Taihe, the tenth daughter of Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty, who was married to the Uighurs]

[The Khitans sent an envoy to Chang'an, hoping to return Princess Taihe.]

[They were intercepted by Ujie Khan on the way. ]

[Ujie Khan killed all the Khitans in the delegation and took Princess Taihe as his own. He then used this to coerce the Tang Dynasty, demanding that he be officially crowned as the Uighur Khan and that Zhenwu City be lent to the Uighurs as a residence for him and the princess.]

[Tang Wuzong sent envoys to express his condolences to Ujie Khan and presented him with 20,000 hu of grain, but rejected all other unreasonable requests.]

[In August 842 AD, Ujie Khan led his people south again, looting the Hedong area and killing all the way to the city of Yunzhou.]

[Zhang Xianjie, the governor of Yunzhou during the Tang Dynasty, closed the city and defended it, while the nearby Tuyuhun, Dangxiang and other tribes fled into the mountains.]

……

On the canopy.

White tents stand face to face with the city covered by severe winter snow.

As night falls, leaden clouds block the bright moon.

A faint knocking sound was heard in the city.

Along with the sound of rubble rolling down, more than a dozen holes about ten feet in size were chiseled out from inside the city to outside.

Figures leading war horses emerged from the holes one after another, then jumped on their horses and headed straight for the enemy Khan's tent!

……

[In the first month of 843 AD, Wujie Khan led his people to invade Zhenwu. Emperor Wuzong of Tang ordered Liu Mian, the envoy to pacify the Huihe, to send Shi Xiong, the governor of Linzhou, and Wang Feng, the commander of the army, to lead cavalry from the Shatuo, Qibi, and Tuoba tribes to attack their tents. Jiu Mian himself led a large army to follow.]

[Shi Xiong rushed to Zhenwu and sent someone to tell Princess Taihe to stop the carriage and not move. He dug more than ten caves in the city, led his troops out at night, and attacked the Khan's tent directly.]

[Ujie Khan was greatly alarmed and fled, abandoning his baggage. Shi Xiong led his army to pursue him.]

[On the 11th day, Wujie Khan was defeated at Shahu Mountain, and more than 10,000 people were killed.]

[Ujie Khan was injured and fled with several hundred cavalrymen. Shi Xiong welcomed Princess Taihe back and captured more than 20,000 people from the Huihe tribe.]

【Later, Wujie Khan was killed by his prime minister, and Wujie Khan's brother Teqin Eren was made Khan. The remaining 500 people took refuge in Shiwei.】

[The Khitans sent out 70,000 elite cavalry to capture the Uighurs. In the dead of night, the Khan Eren and his wife rode west on nine horses. The Khitans took back all the remaining Uighurs and returned to the north of the desert.]

【The rule of the Uighur Khanate ended here.】

　There is an interesting part in our family's history.

　　Usually, there are only a few words about who defeated whom at what time and in what place.

　　The three simple elements of time, place and people, and that’s it.

　　If I lose the fight, I’ll have to pay a lot of money!
　　The three elements are essential, and then they have to be broken down into weather, terrain, the psychology of both sides, and the strategies used.

　　Behaviors derived from the struggle between the two sides in the court.

　　After writing it down in the notebook, I will take revenge later and write down the detailed process again.

　　To be honest, the roots of our family's hatred go back a long way!
