After receiving the news from Fu Yun, Dayan Mangjiebo gave up Shanshan without even thinking about it, and led his troops frantically back to aid Fu Qi City. Shanshan can be lost, but Fu Qi King City cannot be lost, otherwise people's hearts will be scattered, and they will never be found again.
Not coming back.
Tuyuhun has been destroyed once. If it is destroyed again this time, even if it can be restored in the future, it will be just a small border country, and the people's hearts will no longer be that of Tuyuhun. No one will have centripetal force towards a country that is often destroyed, let alone
He will no longer be loyal to the Tuyuhun royal family.
In September, Dayan Mangjiebo finally arrived near Fuqi City, but he got the news that Fuqi City had fallen, and he also learned that Murong Shun and Li Jingzheng were leading their troops to encircle and suppress him.
Dayan Mangjiebo froze on the spot, not knowing for a moment whether to advance or retreat, to fight to the death or to surrender.
Because he has no way out.
"How could this happen?" Dayan Mangjiebo sat in the camp, his whole body in a state of confusion.
He never would have imagined that the Tang army's offensive was so fierce. The previous news he received was that King Daci was defeated, but in the blink of an eye Fuqi City was gone and Fu Yun was captured alive.
How to fight this?
He thought a lot and cursed a lot, but in the end it was all in vain.
Because, Tang Jun is coming.
This time Dayan Mangjiebo's opponent was Li Jing. Facing this powerful and invincible general of the Tang army, Dayan Mangjiebo was unable to resist. He was defeated and fled in just five days, and Li Jing slaughtered all his soldiers.
Another day later, Wang Xuance led his army to capture Dayan Mangjiebo alive.
Tang army camp.
"Traitor!" Dayan Mangjiebo scolded Murong Shun in a hoarse voice.
One of them was standing, one was kneeling, one was calm, and the other was angry.
Li Jing looked at Dayan Mang Jiebao, and really had nothing to say, because this man was too incompetent, and he was defeated before he could use it to consume the Tuyuhun soldiers.
"Fork out."
"yes."
Dayan Mangjiebo was forked out by the Tang army.
In the distance, you can still hear Dayan Mangjiebo scolding the traitor.
On the other side, Luo Shixin carried out the plan very well. The troops of King Dazhao and King Haizhu suffered heavy losses in the battle with Murong Xiaojun, and both sides suffered losses. In the end, with the efforts of Xu Shiji and others,
Destroyed the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses of Murong Xiaojun's tribe.
At this point, Tuyuhun was settled.
All the generals gathered in Fuqi City to stabilize Tuyuhun.
First, Li Jing sent people to send all the prisoners of Tuyuhun and their property back to Chang'an to report the victory to His Majesty the Emperor.
Secondly, all the remaining soldiers and horses of Tuyuhun were dismembered, and Murong Shun, Xiao Wang Sun Bo, King Dazhao, King Haizhu and others were all controlled, and they said that they would return to the court with them to meet His Majesty the Emperor in the future.
Finally, he promoted Fu Yun's crimes and the benevolence of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, Li Jing would inevitably have to send people to exterminate the remaining stubborn resistance elements in Tuyuhun, as well as some tribes that did not obey orders.
Chang'an.
After receiving the news of Li Jing's victory, Li Zhiyun immediately ordered people to circulate it to all officials. All the officials were overjoyed and praised His Majesty's kindness and power for spreading far and wide, restoring the old land of the Sui Dynasty, and flourishing martial arts.
Li Zhiyun personally didn't feel much. Li Jing's destruction of Tuyuhun was expected by him. If he couldn't destroy Tuyuhun, it would be unexpected. Compared with the previous Turks, Tuyuhun was by more than one level.
In the Liangyi Hall, all the ministers arrived to discuss the next strategy for Tuyuhun.
"I believe that Murong Shun should be canonized as the Khan of Tuyuhun and be allowed to control the land of Tuyuhun. Unlike the grassland, Tuyuhun is like a vassal state. If it is destroyed and a governor's palace is established, it will be difficult to manage the local people." Yang Gongren said.
Xue Shou objected: "This is inappropriate."
"What do you mean?"
"Literal meaning." Xue Shou bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the Tuyuhun people are capricious and cannot be allowed to stay in their old place. In the past, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty destroyed Tuyuhun and established prefectures and counties. However, the previous Sui Dynasty suddenly died, and Tuyuhun
The people immediately returned to the country. It can be seen that the Tuyuhun people are difficult to tame and should be treated as the old things on the grassland."
When the ministers heard this, they raised their eyebrows.
Old things in the grassland, this is to kill Tuyuhun. Today's grassland has no organized troops and no wars. It seems like a paradise. But in fact, it is a hell on earth. The grassland nobles wantonly oppress the grassland people and sell goods for their own enjoyment.
Prairie people, even killing.
According to imperial statistics, the grassland population is declining rapidly, and its rate of decline is even faster than during the war.
Yang Gongren sneered coldly: "If we do this, it will be difficult for Tuyuhun to stabilize, and the imperial court will have to suppress the rebellion at all times."
"Then kill them!" Xue Shou said coldly: "Kill them all, and the land of Tuyuhun will become our land of the Tang Dynasty."
"You!" Yang Gongren never expected that Xue Shou had this idea.
In fact, most of the courtiers had the same considerations as Yang Gongren, which was to occupy Tuyuhun in name, and even garrison troops, but there was no need to actually occupy it, that is, to immigrate and develop Tuyuhun.
Because there is no need. That kind of place is not suitable for farming. What can we do with it? It can only be used as a strategic location. But what Xue Shou wants is to completely integrate Tuyuhun into the Tang Dynasty system and turn it into the land of the Tang Dynasty.
The gap between the two is very big. Once Tuyuhun is developed, it will mean the transportation of manpower and material resources. Can the imperial court be able to bear it?
Not to mention there is an operating grassland!
The two factions of ministers quarreled over whether to occupy it actually or in name. They can be roughly divided into the 'Khan faction' and the 'Dudufu faction'.
Li Zhiyun listened to them arguing for a while, and then asked them to stop.
"I think it's better to build a Governor's Mansion. The system should be implemented according to the grassland Governor's Mansion."
If you have experience in grassland management, you will have no problem managing Tuyuhun.
Li Zhiyun did not plan to establish a prefecture or county in Tuyuhun, because it was of little significance. No one would be willing to immigrate to Tuyuhun at this time. If he wanted to truly develop Tuyuhun, he could only enfeoff the royal family to guard it.
However, Li Zhiyun did not intend to implement the system of vassal states during the Warring States Period, but instead came up with a different approach. That is to give the feudal states governance rights, but not military power. After all, Tuyuhun was very close to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Zhiyun could not leave harm to future generations.
As for the specific system, he doesn't have it yet. There is no need to worry about this kind of thing. Li Zhiyun plans to let the governor's office capture the remaining Tuyuhun people there one by one to be slaves. When there are no more human resources available there, and the sons have grown up
, the Tang Dynasty became prosperous and its population increased, so it was canonized again.
If you want to completely take over the land in Tuyuhun, you can only give it to your future sons. Otherwise, who would really be willing to manage a piece of land?
Only when that territory becomes one's own will that person take it seriously.
The Dudufu is an institution, an advance guard for the vassal states. The meaning of its existence is to suppress, clear up, and plunder the local population and resources.
Although the enfeoffment system is outdated, it captures human nature very well.
Only if the territory is your own, you will manage it seriously.
As for whether it would become a situation that cannot be eliminated, Li Zhiyun scoffed. In the future, when the Tang Dynasty expands externally, it will be necessary to implement the system of canonizing vassal states, otherwise it will not be able to hold on. Moreover, the farther away the place is, the more power it will have to give. Only in this way can it be
The seeds of the Tang Dynasty were sown.
Tuyuhun is very close and is a good place to experiment.
Of course, the same is true for grasslands.
He believes that he will be able to do all this well in his lifetime.
