Yingzhou City was destroyed, Wang Xunzhi fled to Dahang City alone, Yuguan began to confront Shi Chaoyi, and the entire Pinglu war suddenly became anxious.
Because the great detour strategy was the grand strategy of the entire Longyou, Li Tan also recalled Qinchuan, who was building the railway in Tuyuhun, to Shazhou, and he led four thousand new Longyou troops to Tongliao for support.
Of these four thousand people, one thousand are player officers, and the remaining three thousand are Longyou natives who volunteered to join the army. They were all trained according to the standards of the new army. This time it is also time to test the results of Longyou's military training.
Leading four thousand soldiers, Qinchuan set foot on the road to Tongliao City. As soon as he set foot on the grassland, Qinchuan encountered an obstacle.
storm.
It stands to reason that there should be no snowstorms this month, but the weather this year is really too bad, and the environment in the Mobei Grassland is indeed very harsh. The huge snowstorm forced Qinchuan, who had just set out for a few days, to set up camp.
At the same time, near the city of the Uighur Khan, a large red team was also stuck in the snowstorm.
This is Li Guangqin, the princess of Ningguo who went to the grassland to get married. Because the snowstorm was too heavy, he had to camp in this valley.
Li Guang set off from Tingzhou after the wedding day. The reason why she walked so slowly was because she first asked the Uighurs to visit the three major Stele Forest cities before going to Seoul to get married.
There is naturally no problem with this approach, and the Uyghur envoys will not be embarrassed by this matter in the future. So Li Guang personally paid a visit to three forests of steles and talked cordially with the tribal leaders of these forest cities before embarking on the journey.
But the road to getting married in Seoul.
Just as they were about to enter Seoul, they encountered a snowstorm again. The team had to find a safe place to camp and prepare to set off after the snowstorm was over.
"Princess, have a cup of tea to warm yourself up." The female player Lu Anya brought a bowl of hot tea. Li Guangqin put down the book in his hand and took a sip and felt that his hands and feet were no longer so cold. She said to Lu Anya: "Lu Ling
There’s no need to work so hard, just leave these things to the maids.”
Ever since Lu Anya proposed her ambition to Princess Ningguo to assist Princess Ningguo in resolving the past affairs of the princess, Lu Anya became the princess' family magistrate.
The family leader is equivalent to the housekeeper of the family, and is also Princess Ning Guo's think tank and confidant. Along the way, Lu Anya helped Princess Ning Guo with suggestions and gained her trust.
Li Guangqin also relied heavily on this experienced woman from Longyouqi, and the relationship between the two parties has always been quite harmonious.
However, at this time, in the city of Uighur Khan, not far from the valley, as the Khan's wedding was approaching, the atmosphere became increasingly weird.
Mou Yu Khan succeeded to the throne hastily after the death of the old Khan in the war, and his prestige before he succeeded was not enough. If it were not for the authority of the old Khan before his death, coupled with the prestige of his marriage to the Tang Dynasty, Mou Yu Khan would have been
Only then did he secure his position as Khan.
However, Mou Yu Khan still had to devote many positions to satisfy the tribes that supported him, and the Khan's authority also changed from the first person in the grassland to the person recommended by everyone to talk about things.
Mou Yu Khan, who had seen his father's authority, naturally could not tolerate such a situation. He also wanted to re-establish the authority of the Khan and made many attempts.
Unfortunately, the Battle of Jinshan ruined the elites of the Khan's Court. The Khan's Court's military capabilities were no longer able to subdue other tribes in the grassland, and the road to hegemony through military hegemony was blocked.
Mou Yu Khan thought of other ways. It happened that Zoroastrian missionaries came to the grassland. After hearing Zoroastrian religious stories about the war between light and darkness and the King of Light, Mou Yu Khan became very interested.
Upon seeing this, the Zoroastrian missionaries immediately took control of the Zoroastrian monks in Gaochang City.
Zoroastrianism, which had suffered a setback in its missionary work in Longyou, immediately sent a large-scale monk group to the Uighur city of Han. After a series of ceremonies, the monk group announced that Mou Yu Khan was the Holy Son of Light in the East and was responsible for worshiping him.
The important saint of the dark mission, all the monks knelt down to Mou Yu Khan and expressed their loyalty to him.
Mouyu Khan was overjoyed and ordered the promotion of Zoroastrianism throughout the grasslands, making Zoroastrianism the state religion of the Uighurs.
The leader of the Sangha, Master Daman, became the national preceptor of the Uighurs, and everyone in the remaining Sangha received awards.
Compared with the natural and animistic worship of Changshengtian, the teachings of Zoroastrianism are undoubtedly more complete.
Zoroastrianism's worship of fire is exactly the same as the worship of fire on the grassland. It quickly captured the hearts of the people in the grassland and spread rapidly. Soon there were many believers in the entire Khan City.
However, with the rise of new forces, the old forces were unwilling to give up their territory. However, the wizards and witches who were originally supported in Seoul soon denounced Zoroastrianism as a heresy. Once they believe in Zoroastrianism, the soul will not be able to go to the Immortal Heaven!
Zoroastrian priests also publicly announced that as long as they are devout believers, their souls can go to the "Great Light Place" after death, which is an eternally bright place filled with infinite light and warmth, where all souls can find peace.
The two sides even openly debated in Seoul. In the end, Zoroastrianism, which had more complete doctrines, naturally won.
The wizards and witches were retreating steadily. Guman was a wizard who once served in the Khan's court. After the rise of Zoroastrianism, the Khan never recruited him for divination.
Guman is a devout wizard, and he is very sad that Khan has devoted himself to evil beliefs.
Under such long-term depression, Guman had a crazy idea.
When he was young, Guman once traveled to the grasslands, collected the nine most poisonous poisons, and made them into poisons to keep on his body at all times.
Guman, who often uses hallucinogenic herbal medicine, must have taken too much alcohol and his brain is damaged. He has an inexplicable sense of mission. Maybe these poisons are to poison the Khan?
Once this idea appeared, there was no way to suppress it, and Guman began to look for opportunities.
He was originally a wizard in the royal court, so he could come and go freely in the royal court. Although he was no longer favored, he was still respected in the royal court.
Guman quickly found an opportunity to poison. Khan Mou Yu was about to hold a small banquet. While the kitchen was busy, Guman poisoned the wine that Khan wanted to drink.
Unknowingly, Mou Yu Khan drank poisoned wine at the banquet. Before the banquet was over, he felt stomach cramps, and then began to vomit blood profusely.
The Zoroastrian monks present immediately went to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment and determined that Mou Yu Khan had been poisoned.
The Zoroastrian monks wanted to use bloodletting to treat Mou Yu Khan, while the grassland witch doctor took out herbal medicine to treat Mou Yu Khan. At this time, the young Khan was tortured by the poison and was speechless. He used
The eyes chose the bloodletting treatment plan.
Just after bleeding some blood, Mou Yu Khan felt a little more relaxed and comfortable, but soon his poisoning symptoms worsened again and he instantly fell into a coma.
By the next day, Mou Yu Khan was already cold.
The death of the Khan was undoubtedly an earthquake, and a huge earthquake at that.
The biggest problem here is that Mou Yu Khan has not officially married yet. Without a formal marriage, there will be no heirs. Who will the throne of Khan be passed on to?
In fact, although Mou Yu Khan did not marry Princess Datang, he still had two sons.
The eldest son Moheda is only seven years old, and the youngest son Huxie is only three years old. However, these are the children of concubines. According to the tradition of the grassland, it is difficult to become a khan.
Moreover, these two children are still too young. Do we want to support a khan who is less than ten years old on the grassland?
Some important ministers proposed that Prince Yehu, who was exiled in the Tang Dynasty, be recalled to the grassland and let him succeed the Khan.
However, this proposal was immediately opposed by most of the nobles. The reason was naturally very simple. Many of them were Prince Ye Hu's old subordinates. They betrayed Prince Ye Hu and supported Mou Yu Khan. According to Prince Ye Hu's character,
If he comes back and takes over, he will definitely go on a killing spree.
The nobles quickly froze. At this time, An Daxie, who had visited the Tang Dynasty as an envoy, said:
"Khan passed away, we should report his death to the Tang family first!"
After saying this, everyone realized, yes, the Tang Dynasty is now the suzerainty of the Uyghurs. Logically, we should report the funeral to the Tang Dynasty and see what the Tang Dynasty thinks.
Everyone once again recommended An Daxiefa as the messenger to announce the funeral in the Tang Dynasty.
Ida Xiefa added: "Now the Uighur affairs of the Tang Dynasty are all handed over to the King of Yue. I only need to go to Shazhou to report the funeral to His Highness the King of Yue."
Everyone nodded and agreed with An Daxie's proposal to get a haircut.
An Daxie continued: "There is another troublesome thing, that is, the princess of the Tang Dynasty is about to arrive, but the Khan has passed away. What should we do?"
When this question was raised, everyone was silent.
A tribal leader stood up and said: "This is not simple. According to the rules of our grassland, whoever becomes the khan in the future will marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty!"
This idea quickly gained support from everyone, but An Daxie Haircut felt something was wrong.
However, there were so many things to do that I could only set off with my envoy to report the funeral to the King of Yue.
It's just that An Daxie didn't expect that just after leaving Seoul, he would meet the team of princesses who wanted to marry each other.
An Daxie had no choice but to bite the bullet and report the news of Mou Yu Khan's death to Princess Ningguo in person.
Unexpectedly, the princess was just surprised when she heard the news of Khan's death, and then lowered her eyes and said, "Master Ada, please take a rest first."
After saying that, he left Ada Xiefa in the tent. Li Guangqin quickly came to Lu Anya's tent and told Lu Anya about the great changes in the Uighurs.
Lu Anya didn't expect this kind of thing, but she quickly calmed down and said:
"Your Majesty, although you and the Khan are not married, you and the Khan have signed a letter of appointment and credentials, and your Majesty has married you. They are already a legal couple. You should go to Khan City as soon as possible to preside over the Khan's marriage.
