If there is only one Tomozhi, you can safely let him control Xue Yantuo. This person is short-sighted, selfish, and capable, but not enough to lead a tribe to revive from decadence.
But Ba Zhuo was worried.
First of all, this man is the biological son of Yinan Khan. His natural successor status is here, and he will inevitably be supported by the vast majority of the Xueyantuo tribe. When Yimang died and suddenly escaped, he was Xueyantuo Khan.
The only choice.
The righteousness of fame is there.
Furthermore, this person is ruthless and ambitious, and his temperament is cruel and arrogant. These people are bold and unwilling to hide under others. They can cause trouble at the slightest opportunity, which stirs up the chaos in Mobei and affects the foundation of the Tang Dynasty here.
.
But it would not be appropriate to kill him directly.
After all, he surrendered in front of the battle and kept himself low. If he was killed with a single blow, what would the chiefs of the Tiele tribes think?
Apart from creating a sense of crisis that everyone is in danger of, and making the Hu chiefs who have surrendered and hunkered down in panic all day long, there is no benefit whatsoever.
It can't be used, and it can't be killed, which makes Fang Jun quite troublesome...
However, Xue Wanche's words last night came into effect at this time.
As a time traveler, Fang Jun has the ability to see through time. He knows what to do to make the Tang Dynasty more powerful, and he also knows what is the disaster of the Tang Dynasty. As long as the Tang Dynasty is in his hands, he is confident that he can seek good fortune and avoid disasters.
, to a higher level.
However, how can things in this world always go as planned?
There is never anything that remains unchanged.
There are some things that he thinks are correct, which may be in line with the process of historical development, but after his "bug" appears, who can be sure that the current history will develop in the same way as the previous history?
When things like firearms, fleets, and textile machines that do not belong to this time and space suddenly appear, it will inevitably affect the people and things in this world.
This is just a bifurcated river of time, seemingly different from the original history.
Many things cannot be taken for granted. No one can truly control history and the course of the world.
The most important thing is that if your desire for control is still so strong and you firmly believe that with your own efforts, the Tang Empire can move towards a more prosperous future, then it is very likely that one day you will become what you hate the most.
Become a puppet of power and a slave of ambition.
Perhaps the empire that should have been peaceful and prosperous will become chaotic and weak, or even turbulent and declining because of him...
And he himself will embark on a path of no return.
*****
Taking a deep breath, Fang Junce rode forward, looked at Bazhuo and nodded: "The Tang Dynasty is committed to good neighborliness and friendship and joint development. Since Khan is willing to lead his people to submit to the Tang Dynasty, I will naturally report this to Your Majesty. As for the
Khan's future will be decided by His Majesty!"
Ba Zhuo is ecstatic in his heart!
Fang Jun called him "Khan" in his words, which shows that even if the Xueyantuo Khanate falls, his status will still be guaranteed, and he will even continue to exist as the chief of Xueyantuo!
He immediately said loudly: "I am willing to listen to the commander-in-chief's orders, and I am willing to die for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! I will lead the Xueyantuo people to loyally submit to the Tang Dynasty, and they will be vassals forever in the world, and my descendants will never rebel!"
Tumo Zhi on the side had a dejected look on his face.
Now that Fang Jun has recognized Bazhuo's status, it naturally means that his "Khan" dream has been shattered...
Not only is the Khan's position unattainable, but with Bazhuo's temperament, can someone who betrayed him be allowed to live in this world?
I am afraid that he will face endless assassinations next, until his corpse becomes the fertilizer of this land and nourishes this landscape...
He looked at Fang Jun with a worried look, hoping to get some support from Fang Jun.
However, Fang Jun didn't even look at him.
Fang Jun turned over and jumped off the horse, stepped forward to support Ba Zhuo's shoulders affectionately, and said with a smile: "Suwen Khan is one of the best warriors in Mobei. He is brave and good at fighting and has a fiery temperament. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary. There are
What a majestic appearance! I have always respected the heroes of the world, so I should live close to them."
Ba Zhuo was overjoyed and said quickly: "How dare you be a hero in front of the commander? You are just a general of the defeated army! The commander entered Mobei alone and rushed all the way. I don't know how many Xue Yantuo warriors are dormant in front of you. Now on the grassland
Your legend is spread everywhere, and only you are worthy of being called a hero!"
Fang Jun laughed heartily and happily.
Who said this guy was violent and reckless?
Look, this flattering shot is of a very high standard and makes you feel happy...
This battle started suddenly and ended unexpectedly.
As soon as the Tang army showed its ferocity, Xue Yantuo, under the leadership of Bazhuo, laid down his weapons, surrendered on the spot, and accepted the treatment of the Tang Dynasty.
Although it was said that they were being dealt with, it was actually impossible for Tang Jun to do anything to them.
Just like Zhao Xincheng, who killed tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers, he must not do it again. When Zhao Xincheng was in Zhao Xincheng, the Tang army won a complete victory. They blew up the city with gunpowder, not only burying tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo's soldiers, but also causing all Xue Yantuo to surrender.
All the soldiers were demoralized and the situation was completely under the control of the Tang army. Naturally, they could take whatever they wanted and do whatever they wanted.
Although Xue Yantuo surrendered here, he was not without the power to fight. Moreover, there were many tribes mixed in. Once the killing was too much, it would inevitably be spread, which would greatly affect the image of the "teacher of benevolence and righteousness" in the Tang Dynasty.
War is cruel and ruthless, but still killing the troops without mercy will arouse opposition and resistance from everyone.
Extremely unwise.
Before today, Fang Jun might have felt troubled and troubled, not knowing how to deal with Ba Zhuo.
But after Xue Wanche's conversation last night, Fang Jun felt that he had indeed gotten into trouble.
Even if he is the reincarnation of Zhuge, is it possible that he can still control this huge empire with one hand?
Some things cannot develop according to his will after all.
And some things need to be let go when it's time to let them go. It's not a good thing to hold them in your hands and not let go...
Regardless of whether it was embarrassing for him or not, whether the imperial court really established the Hanhai Protectorate as he requested or established a new yamen to manage Mobei, what did it have to do with him?
The emperor would definitely not place him here.
Then let the incoming chief officer have a headache...
The surrender of all the Xueyantuos signified the destruction of the Khanate. However, the Xueyantuos were part of Tiele and wandered around the desert chasing water and grass. Their thoughts on home and country were very different from those of the Han people. In fact, they did not care whether the country was overthrown or not. It was not just that.
The soldiers at the bottom didn't care much about this. Even Bazhuo, as long as he had the power and position, still maintained his identity as the chief of Xueyantuo, and he didn't care too much about the fall of Xueyantuo Khanate.
As long as the people and horses are still there, what is the difference between a country and a country?
One day when the Tang Dynasty declined, Xue Yantuo raised his arms and said that he was still the most powerful tribe on the grassland, and the restoration of the country was only a matter of seconds!
To sacrifice your life and blood for the so-called dignity of the country is an extremely stupid thing in the eyes of the barbarians...
The tribes of Xue Yantuo who gathered in Longcheng dispersed one after another and returned to their tribes' settlements. The Hu people had no fixed place. Except for symbolic areas such as Longcheng and Yazhang, they lived in pursuit of water and grass all year round. Every winter, they chose
Find a place to hide from the wind and snow in the harsh winter, and when spring comes, you will embark on a wandering life again.
Therefore, compared to the Han people, the Hu people are more wild and aggressive.
But precisely because of this, they lack sufficient stability to create a strong and long-term unified country and maintain the continuity of the nation...
*****
Dragon City.
Fang Junce rode slowly outside the altar for worshiping the heaven surrounded by low round stone walls, feeling that this area has become the altar for the gods in the hearts of the Mobei Hu people since more than a thousand years ago.
Suddenly feeling something in my heart, I reined in my horse and raised my head to look at the undulating mountains not far away.
"It has been said that the champion Hou Fenglang lived in Xu, and the Zen aunt climbed up the mountain. I don't know where his hometown is?"
Fang Jun had no intention of imitating the sages and "closing the wolf and living in Xu".
Huo Qubing is an undisputed national hero from ancient times to the present. His achievements can only be surpassed through the ages. Fang Jun is just a time traveler, standing on the clouds of history and overlooking all living beings, which is equivalent to playing a game.
If you cheat, you have no real ability, and you dare not stand side by side with the national heroes in history.
However, I have longed to go to the places where the sages once set foot, follow the footsteps that have long been covered by dust, and admire the peerless grace of the sages.
Later generations have long since lost track of the exact place where "Lang Lang lived in Xu" back then. Now that he is in Mobei, perhaps these barbarians once had memories passed down from their ancestors.
