"On November of the second year of Jinglong in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Qian, the commander of the Anxi army, led 500 dead soldiers to attack Yezhi City. He killed dozens of thieves including the Thomas Shi chief Sage, Shaman Xiada, Special Forces Malen, Ye Hu Aslan and other dozens of thieves. He picked out the bodies of Soge. In the city, the two soldiers were at a loss when they fought! Wang Zhihuan, the middle-aged army, scolded him: You don’t surrender early, in order to forgive the emperor, when will you wait? The Thomas Shi chief surrender, and the four towns in Anxi were settled!"——"New Tang Book 124"

In all the internal and external wars of the Tang Dynasty, Ye Zhicheng could not rank the number of rebellions, regardless of scale, influence and intensity. Therefore, in the writing of later historians, they only used more than 130 words to summarize the entire battle and the aftermath process. How the coach planned, how the athletes sacrificed their lives, how the weather was bad at the time, why more than 12,000 Tuqi Shiren was at a loss in the battle, and why Wang Zhihuan, who persuaded Tuqi Shiren to surrender first, were both ignored!

History is always serious and cold, just like the blue-gray bricks on the head of Chang'an city. However, the memories of the parties involved are vivid and vivid.

Many years later, when my children and grandchildren asked Wang Zhihuan, the governor of Gua, Sha, Yi, Xi, and Tingwu Prefectures, why did he suddenly shout that sentence to the passionate words that made countless young people excited? The latter put down his wine glass and smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Nonsense, I didn't shout that way at the beginning. What I shouted at was that Soge was dead, and surrendered and exempted from punishment!"

As for why he shouted like this, Wang Zhihuan replied in public: "There were not many people in the Western Regions, so we couldn't kill them all! What's more, I was tired of killing that night."

In private, especially after drinking, he would reply with a wry smile: "I could say that sudden words at that time, but I learned it before going to war. When I was nervous, of course I shouted it out!"

It turns out that after experiencing no less than a hundred major and large wars in his life, he has written countless passionate poems and the governor of the Five Prefectures, Wang Zhihuan, would be nervous! The younger generations were surprised to hear Wang Zhihuan's secrets for the first time. And as they came into contact with more and more secrets, they were no longer surprised and became more and more confident in their lives.

Historians will not tell the younger generation, but the parties will tell: Everyone has a youthful time. In fact, the classic night attack was full of omissions and surprises from planning to execution. If God had not opened his eyes at that time, if Soge's rule was not so cruel, if Thunderbolt was tortured, it would not have been too low to the extreme, even if everyone could successfully behead Soge that night, it would be difficult to escape unscathed.

Historians will not tell the younger generations, but the parties involved will tell: That time, other troops of the Anxi Army actually paid a very huge price. When they set out from Sailing Ye, there were a total of 500 people and more than 1,000 war horses, and they also brought more than 500 simple heating stoves that could be used in the wild and burned tinder oil. Outside Yezhi City, there were only 327 brothers who could participate in the war.

The reduction caused by frostbite was as high as 35% and nearly 10% of these 35% left lifelong disability! It was because other troops in the Anxi Army won the battles and their morale was overwhelming, and their monthly military pay could be worth an ordinary person's income for a whole year. Zhang Qian himself repeatedly created "miracles", which did not lead to morale collapse before the battle. If you change another team, change time, and change coach, it is impossible to create the same miracle!

In addition, historians will not tell the younger generations, but the parties will quietly tell the younger generations that the good news reached south of the Tianshan Mountains, and they were worried about how to break through the natural danger of Bodaling and provide timely support to Zhang Qian. Niu Shizhao, the chief manager of Anxi Road, was ecstatic at first, and then furious. He wrote a letter in his own hand, scolding Zhang Qian for not knowing the importance of it. He acted as a deceased soldier in his role as a general, and ignored the safety and danger of a soldier! He also vowed that after the two armies met, Zhang Qian would be good-looking.

Of course, the old general did not mention these rebukes from the good news sent to Chang'an. Instead, he praised Zhang Qian's loyalty and courage, and fully affirmed the deterrent effect of this battle on the tribes of Anxi. He begged the court to keep Zhang Qian in Anxi and serve as the deputy general manager of the Anxi Army to determine the four towns.

In addition, historians will not tell the younger generation, but the parties involved will quietly tell the younger generation: In the combat plan pre-developed by Zhang Qian, recruiting the thunder cavalry and regaining Ye Zhi are all things in a few days. That night, everyone's last task was to take Soge's body and head to break through the siege, meet with the wounded soldiers who had set up a suspicion outside the city, and return to Shattered Ye overnight.

However, after everyone came out of Yezhicheng Prefecture, they did not encounter any obstacles along the way! The Tuqi Shi people who met on the way either scattered or took the initiative to make way and watched everyone leave. As a result, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty walked all the way to the city gate and discovered a fatal problem. The fire burned half of the sky red, and also illuminated Yezhi City as bright as day. The sewage drainage channels that entered the city before could no longer escape the sight of the defenders. Several Tuqi Shi soldiers, who were no less than the Tang army, stood on the city walls and the enemy tower, staring at everyone upright, not knowing where to go.

Not only is it embarrassing to drill sewage canals in front of so many enemy troops, safety is difficult to be guaranteed. If a young man emerges from the middle of the cavalry and scrambles to launch a counterattack, the Tang Dynasty athletes who are rushing into the sewage canal will be caught in a jar.

It is also dangerous to open the city gate and leave directly. Although Yezhi City is small, it has all the internal organs. Inside the city gate, there are also urns and iron fences that may fall at any time. Everyone rashly enters the city gate. As long as the rushing cavalry and a person drops the fence in time, it will also make everyone unable to advance or retreat!

Everyone raised their hearts to their throats, and everyone turned their eyes to Zhang Qian, hoping that he could point out where they were going. Zhang Qian instinctively prepared to seize the enemy building at any cost, control all defense facilities, and forcefully break out of the city. At this moment, Wang Zhihuan was too nervous, shouted out the words he had learned temporarily before going out of the war: "Soge is dead, surrender is exempted from punishment!"

The more than 290 brothers behind him were as nervous as him. Therefore, it was impossible to tell whether this was the one who said that Zhang Qian ordered or Wang Zhihuan shouted on his own initiative. Instinctively opened his voice and repeated loudly: "Soge is dead, surrender is exempted from punishment!"

"Soge is dead, surrender is exempted from punishment!"

"Soge is dead, surrender is exempted from punishment!"

"Soge is dead, surrender is exempted from punishment!"

...

The roars of more than three hundred Tang warriors echoed repeatedly in the night sky.

"Dang chung!" A scimitar fell from the enemy's building and fell on the stone-paved street. The sound was particularly crisp. Then, another sound was heard. Then, "Dang chung!" The sound continued. On the top of the city, most of the thunder cavalrymen took the initiative to put down their weapons and knelt on their knees. Only a very small number of people were holding weapons in their hands, but they did not have the courage to attack the Tang army. Instead, they looked around in panic, looking for a way to escape.

"My general is the favorite minister of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If you say that you can forgive your crimes, you will definitely be able to do it. Now that you surrender, you will not pursue all crimes. If you continue to resist, you will be regarded as Sa Ge's confidant and chase them to the end! Zhang San, translate this sentence to them!" Luo Huaizu was the oldest and knew the best in his understanding of people's hearts. Before he could ask Zhang Qian for instructions, he gave a loud command.

The last sentence was for the troupe leader Zhang San. The latter joined the army in Gumo. Because he could speak Turkic, Tuqishi, and Dayuan dialect, he was discovered by Luo Huaizu. This time he was specially brought by Zhang Qian. Therefore, when he heard Luo Huaizu's order, the man translated it into a language that everyone could understand on the city wall. "My general is the favorite minister of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty..."

"Dang!" "Dangang!" "Dangang!"... Before he finished speaking, the last few weapons also landed on the city wall. All the soldiers of the Thunder Cavalry and Shi knelt down and bowed to Zhang Qian from afar.

After Soge inherited his father's position as Prince Huaide of the Tang Dynasty, he used killing and war to unite people's hearts. Recently, Tuqi Shiren was defeated one after another, and spit out the previous war bonuses exponentially. The servants also scattered all the subordinates, and his prestige naturally plummeted! And he himself was taken to the head by Zhang Qian at home tonight. According to Tuqi Shiren's rules, the person who took his head should be the new Khan, who accepted the support of all the tribes!

"Hurry up, say a few words and strike while the iron is hot!" Luo Huaizu pulled Zhang Qian's arm hard with his hand and urged in a low voice. "They are indifferent. If you say it well, from now on, they will be your leader!"

"All crimes are the only ones!" Zhang Qian had never seen such a scene before, and he was really uncomfortable. He took a deep breath and announced with a thorn in his mouth. "You have all been deceived by So Ge before, and they are all victims. I promise not to pursue anyone!"

"The Grand Marshal said that all the crimes were committed by Soge..." Zhang San was very jealous and immediately opened his voice, using the thunder cavalry to translate Zhang Qian's meaning truthfully.

On the top of the city, the samurai warriors kowtowed and thanked him. But the voices were not very high, and even there were obvious doubts on their faces.

"It's great that you can surrender first, and Zhang is very happy. Zhang will definitely make you pay for your efforts." Although he was not used to it, Zhang Qian tried to adapt to it. He took a deep breath and announced loudly. "You, everyone kneeling on the city wall tonight will give each one a hanging of money, and follow me to the Broken Leaf Collector. On the day of arrival, cash it on the spot. Those who are unwilling to receive the money can receive equivalent food!"

"The Grand Marshal knows that your life is hard, so I will reward each of you with a hang of money and you can get it in the city of Suoye. You must be sincere and loyal to the Grand Marshal from now on." Zhang San thought for a while, and according to the habit of thundering, he added fuel to the fire of Zhang Qian's words.

"Thank you, Marshal!" Cheers were everywhere on the city wall. All the thunder cavalrymen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces were instantly filled with joy like a false change.

"Everyone has it. Open the city gate for Zhang and accompany Zhang out of the city!" After the third deep breath, a series of stories of heroes in the feudal era flashed through Zhang Qian's mind, and he simply copied it. "From now on, you who are willing to go with Zhang, you can be directly under Zhang, no matter which general you originally belonged to. As long as you are willing to abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty and are willing to fight for the Tang Dynasty, Zhang swears that you will definitely regard you as the Tang people!"

"The Grand Marshal said, you want you to open the two inner and outer city gates, and then come down and leave the city with him." Zhang San opened his throat, his shouting full of pride. "From now on, those who are willing to follow the Grand Marshal can recruit him as their personal soldiers..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the city suddenly became silent. The soldiers of Tuqi Shi watched each other, and their hearts were filled with surprise, joy and confusion.

"My little Mo He is willing to be loyal to the Grand Marshal. From today on, the villain's life will be the Grand Marshal. The Grand Marshal will cut down whoever he asks the villain to kill himself. Even if he asks the villain to commit suicide, the villain will never hesitate!" Suddenly, a samurai warrior dressed in small arrow leaned over and picked up the knife, cut his palm, and sweared to the sky.

"Little Huang Quan, I am willing to be loyal to the Grand Marshal!"

"The little Si Kelu, together with one hundred subordinates, is willing to fight for the general!"

"Small..."

The oaths rang out on the top of the city, and the low-level thunder officers leading the team picked up their knives and cut their palms one after another, swearing to be loyal to Zhang Qian.

Without Zhang San's translation, Zhang Qian also guessed the other party's thoughts through his body movements and expressions on his face. After hesitating, he strode onto the horse path, and risked being attacked by the Tuks Shi warriors, pulled up the first Tuks Shi Xiao Arrow, who took the lead in cutting his palms, and then pulled up the Tuks Shi warriors around him one by one.

Guo Jing, with more than 20 elite soldiers, held his fingers on the crossbow of Qingzhang and was ready to shoot at any time. Luo Huaizu and Wang Han quickly followed and quietly protected Zhang Qian's left and right sides. The horse path and the samurai warriors on the city wall began to cheer loudly. Then, he turned the wheels with all his hands and feet, shaking the iron fence of the city wall. He ran off the horse path in a mess, pulled out the door bolt, and pushed open the gate of Yezhicheng.

Zhang Qian pulled the little arc Mo He and another big arc called Si Kelu, and walked off the horse with a smile. Then he arranged for the brothers to walk out of Yezhi City in batches. The Tuqi Shi soldiers who were originally standing on the city wall all walked down with empty hands and formed a team behind him.

After most of the Tang Dynasty athletes safely withdrew from the city gate, Zhang Qian finally adapted to the situation in front of him. He turned his head and shouted at the empty street: "You choose three elders who are determined by yourself. Five days later, go to Suye City to see me. Soge is dead, and he will bear all the blame alone! But, where will you go in the future, Zhang will give you another chance to choose, so you can do it yourself!"

After saying that, he ordered Zhang San to translate his words into Tuqi Shi language as it was and shouted to Tuqi Shi people in the city. Then, regardless of how many people in the city heard it, he strode out of the city surrounded by Mohe, Sikelu, Nick and other Tuqi Shi warriors.

That night, the Tang Dynasty soldiers of Zhang Qian's troops, together with more than a thousand Turkish warriors who had just defected to the city, were stationed in the shelter outside Yezhi City. With the help of the tent and a simple small stove burning hot oil, although everyone was so cold that they could not sleep safely, they did not suffer a larger reduction in personnel due to frostbite. After the day was three o'clock the next day, Zhang Qian ordered everyone to clean up the tent first, and ordered the Turkic soldiers to return to the city to get their mounts. Then, everyone turned back to Saiye City.

Because the number of people has doubled and the sleds are not enough, they can only carry wounded and supplies, and the others can only ride horses, so everyone's march speed is much slower than when they came. However, the whole process was extremely smooth, and they were neither intercepted by any force nor encountered a blizzard.

On the fifth day, everyone successfully returned to Thunder Ye City. Zhang Qian immediately set out to settle the injured and the Tuqi Shi soldiers who had defected to him, fulfilled the reward, and appointed a new brigade leader and the captain, so busy that he could not touch the ground. When he finally could stop and take a breath, the Tuqi Elder Shi from Yezhi City could not wait to come to the door.

"The villain's name is Jizhu, and he is one of Ye Hu under the tent of Soge. He was blessed by General Zhang and pardoned our crimes. The villain and the whole clan are grateful!" The elder who led the lead was a gray-haired middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face, and his blue eyes were covered with blood. "After the command of General Zhang, the villain came to Xuanye today to listen to the coach's teachings in person. From now on..."

"So, after Soge's death, the Tuqi Shiren in Yezhi City recommended you to be their chief?" Zhang Qian didn't like to listen to people's nonsense, so he waved his hand and asked straight to the point.

He thought he was kind, but the rumors about a demon king thundering in his palms and exploding wherever he went was really too deeply rooted in people's hearts. Immediately, the gray-haired Yehu knelt down on the ground and denied repeatedly, "No, no, the villain is not the chief. The villain is only the best Tang Yan said, and was elected to apologize to the general. Chief Shi of the Tuqi is the general, and the villain can only be the messenger of the general, the general, the general's housekeeper!"

"Is it me?" Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "I dare not be the chief of the ten surnames Tuqi Shiren. Let's do this, the chief is empty, and I will be the chief steward of the ten surnames Tuqi Shiren. As for you, as you wish, you will be the chief steward of the ten surnames Tuqi Shiren. In the future, no matter which group of Tuqi Shiren committed a crime, I will ask you!"

"This..." Ye Hu Qiezhu's forehead was covered with cold sweat. However, he did not dare to question Zhang Qian's decision. After he hesitating for a while, he reminded him in a very low voice, "Master, it's not a small disobedience. But, the Tuqi Shiren in Yezhicheng has only one surname. The other nine surnames have long since disbanded!"

"Only one surname?" Zhang Qian knew that the Tuqi Shiren who stayed in Yezhi City were all Soge's direct descendants. But he did not expect that Soge's direct descendants were really the only one left. He was stunned and blurted out in confusion.

"There is only one surname, translated as Tang Yan, which should be Huang with the surname Huang and Huangtu. But some of them have surnames Hei, and their status is slightly lower, so they are considered to be Huang's side branches!" Jianzhu raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and reported honestly, "If the general wants to order the ten surnames Tuqishi, the villain is willing to pass the orders on the general, so that the ten surnames Da Ajin will all go to the Suiye City to meet you after the spring. However, villain, villain can only take care of the affairs of his own clan. The other surnames Tuqishi have caused trouble and will not be considered as villain in the future!"

"That's right?" Zhang Qian frowned slightly, with a little disappointment on his face. He originally thought that after killing Soge, he could completely solve the problem of Tuqi Shiren's rebellion. Now it seems that the facts and expectations are still far from each other. Soge is dead, but it is just the core of Tuqi Shi's rebellion. If the other nine surnames swear to re-enjoy their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, he still needs to spend a lot of effort, and even fight a few more fierce battles!

"The young one can help the general persuade them to follow the general's orders. If anyone dares not come, the general can send an edict to the various troops who come to come and take everyone to the door to question the crime. In the past, when Wuzhile Khan was in power, he did this. So the same!" Zhang Qian was afraid that he would take his anger on his own, and Zhuo quickly added.

"Yes, yes, Grandmaster, in the future, we are willing to go to war for Grandmaster!"

"I, the rushing cavalry and people in Yezhi City, are convinced by the Grand Marshal! I am willing to die for the Grand Marshal and never regret it!"

The other two elders who came with Qiezhuo to wait for the "teaching" were also loudly beside them. Obviously, they had done a lot of similar things in the past, and they were all familiar with them.

"Well, you three will go and send an order for this general, asking each department to come to see me at Suiye City on March 15th next year!" Zhang Qian thought for a while, nodded decisively. Then, he glanced at the other two elders and asked with a smile, "What are the names of the two elders? What positions do you hold in the Huang tribe?"

"I am willing to listen to the commander's order. It turns out that I am not sure about right and wrong, and I serve as Burke under Soge's account, and I am accomplice to the tiger. Now I have decided to change my mind and ask the commander to give me the next chance!"

"In Xia Nore, he was originally one of the elders, but now, no matter what he does, he will follow the arrangements of the Grandmaster!"

Tang Yan spoke very fluently, the two elders who came with Qizhuo. He immediately knelt straight and made a loud voice.

"The three villains, after they go back, they will immediately send someone to send letters to other departments, asking them to come to Suiye City on March 15 next year to wait for the commander to dispatch. They will also ask the commander to Yezhi City as soon as possible, and allow us to put the flag of the commander at the top of Yezhi City!" Without waiting for Zhang Qian to respond, Qizhu quickly added on the side, and the expression on his face should be as pious as possible.

"Please send a guard to me and allow my Huang clan to be loyal to the general!" The two elders, Wanqi and Moray, also kowtowed together, for fear that Zhang Qian would doubt their sincerity and abandon Yezhicheng.

Zhang Qian was stunned again, and after a little effort, he barely understood their thoughts.

At present, it is actually the weakest moment when the Huang family Tuqi Shi tribe was killed. The warriors below were depressed and panic. If other large tribes took the opportunity to attack after spring, they would not have much effort to swallow the Huang family Tuqi Shi tribe in one bite. At that time, the warriors and shepherds might have a way out. And these elders and upper-class figures must be the targets that the other party must eradicate.

Therefore, instead of waiting for others to annex, it is better to surrender to Zhang Qian's tent first. After all, Zhang Qian's knife is faster than any tribe leader, and according to past practice, after accepting their allegiance, officials of the Tang Dynasty basically will not interfere in anything within their clan, and their status is still high.

However, this time, they were likely to have made a mistake. After understanding why the three elders of the Tuqi Shi were so anxious to put the Tang Dynasty flag at the head of Yezhi City, Zhang Qian smiled and shook his head gently, "It's okay to change the flag. You can insert the Tang Dynasty flag after you go back. But your loyalty is not to me, but to the Tang Dynasty. Zhang is an official of the Tang Dynasty and cannot accept your loyalty in his personal name."

"The villain understands, the villain understands!" He thought that Zhang Qian was like Guo Yuanzhen, just wanted to say a few words in the scene, and Zhuo and others nodded repeatedly.

"I'll send one of you right away. You three, and I'll be the county magistrate of Yezhi County, responsible for assisting the county magistrate and county magistrate, and handling daily government affairs. Wanqi had worked as Burke before and knew how to manage the tribe. He would serve as a county magistrate, responsible for the public security of Yezhi County and within a radius of 100 miles. Morey, just be a vassal. In the future, you will be responsible for the taxes of the Huang tribe, and you will be responsible for the taxes of the Huang tribe. According to the original rules, the tax rate is not the Tang people who take one leg for four livestock, and the Tang people will be reduced by half. If a lawsuit occurs, no matter what tribe both parties are involved, they will be responsible for the guards. You three are not allowed to interfere."

"Yes!" Jianzhuo, Wanqi and Mo Lei agreed in unison, without any hesitation on their faces.

In their opinion, the so-called county magistrate, county magistrate and county magistrate are just names. Of course, the three of them have the final say on how to control the internal control of the Huang family. Even if the new county magistrate and guard are Zhang Qian's iron-core subordinates. Without the cooperation of the three of them, they can only be a tablet, and no one will listen to what they say.

However, Zhang Qian's next words quickly made an ominous premonition surge in their hearts. "Are there any Tang slaves in Yezhi City? If so, they will send them all to Suiye City. It turns out that Zhang will not pursue the mistakes you made under Soge. However, from now on, no one is allowed to raise Tang people as slaves, otherwise, Zhang will definitely take away his family's wealth, demote all his children to slaves, and use his own way to deal with him!"

"Master, the Master has an order. We will wait, and we will naturally obey!" The three thunder cavalry elders were stunned and kowtowed at the same time.

Then, he was stunned for a while, and Jae-Zhu raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He stammered, "But, the slaves have been around for a long time, and many of them are mixed-race. I waited for a while, and it was difficult to distinguish which one was Tang people and which one was not Tang people!"

"This is very simple, so I will distinguish it like this for now." Zhang Qian had an answer in his heart, and immediately smiled and ordered loudly, "Those who can say more than thirty Tang words can be regarded as accurate Tang people. You will send them to Zhang to Suiye City! No matter how to carefully distinguish them, Zhang will naturally send someone to be responsible, and you don't need to worry about it. This matter will be done before informing all departments to come to Suiye to obey the orders, and it will not be delayed. Zhang will send a team of people to follow you three back to Yezhi City to supervise. If the people sent by Zhang have an accident in Yezhi City or on the road, Zhang will consider it to be a war!"

"I dare not, I dare not!" Junzui, Wanqi and Morey raised their hands to wipe their sweat, and agreed with a pale face.

When they started a war with Zhang Qian, it would be difficult for them to get the support of their tribesmen. Even if they could get it, there would be no hope of winning and would benefit other tribes around them. And for the Huang family Tuqi Shiren, the loss was far smaller than the war, and at least it would not cause any harm to the entire tribe.

"The same thing will be passed on to the other nine surnames. If they are willing to do so, Zhang will naturally give them some benefits. If they insist on fighting with Zhang, Zhang will definitely lead his brothers to greet him at the beginning of next spring!" He patted the table with his hands, and Zhang Qian continued to announce with a smile, his young face was full of confidence, "In addition, Zhang has a copy of the "Broken Ye Tang people Protection Order". You can take one to circulate it. The same sentence is, after reading this order, you carefully weigh the pros and cons, and you are still willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Zhang will not blame him. If you feel that this order makes you and others wrong, you can raise your troops to rebel again. Zhang is always waiting to give you a try!"

There were not many Tang people in the Western Regions, but there were some slaves in the Western Regions. When slaves gained freedom because of the arrival of the Tang army, they would always remember the kindness of the Tang Dynasty and fight for freedom. Unless, they were born to like to be slaves, or were born to have no conscience!

In any era, there are only a few people who have no conscience and conscience.

Zhang Qian believes in this!
Chapter completed!
