The north wind howls and thousands of horses gallop.
Outside the Black City, the killings were coming to an end. The Tatars, eager for revenge, rushed in first and killed the Uighurs on sight. Even some Tatar nobles who had taken refuge with the Uighurs were tragically killed by the sword. They were not merciful at all.
.
The battle on the grassland was not like this. Maybe it was because the hatred was too great, and it was particularly merciless to the traitors.
Yang Yue stood on a high slope outside the city to take charge of the overall situation.
Xu Hao led his cavalry to chase and defeat the enemy. The Tatars were obsessed with revenge. As expected, the bodyguards were the most political. They immediately took control of the treasury and the residences of the Uighur nobles in the Black City. At the same time, they allocated manpower and gathered livestock.
"The Kun River (the name of the Orkhon River in the Tang Dynasty, with different transliterations) is really a nice place." Yang Yue looked at it for a long time and then said: "I read in the history books that in the early years of the Chinese dynasty, the Uighurs built their tents on the whirling water.
Lateral. In the Kaiyuan period, Pijia Khan moved south, and there was a plain to the east near the left side of the Yazhang. It was surrounded by the Ude Mountain in the west and the Aokun River in the south. There was no change after that, which shows that he was very satisfied with this place."
The whirling water is today's Selenge River.
Wudetan Mountain is Dujin Mountain, or Yudujin Mountain, today's Hangai Mountain.
Heichengzi, where the Uighur tooth tent is located, is about seventy miles north and west of the location of the capital city of Hara and Lin (near today's Erdenizhao) built by Ogedai in later generations.
"Come down the mountain, it's almost time to clean up the mess." Yang Yue laughed, feeling happy.
"Perhaps a monument can be erected in Dutou to commemorate it?" a literary official suggested.
Yang Yue's heart was pounding, but she still refused, saying: "In the past, the champion Hou Fenglang lived in Xu and swept across the vast sea. Su Dingfang rushed thousands of miles to destroy the Western Turks. How can I compare with them? Heichengzi, already
It’s not the Uighur tooth tent anymore. If I had been born more than a hundred years earlier, raided the Uighur tent when they were at their peak, and returned victorious, needless to say, I would have wanted to do something. But the Uighurs of today are not the same as the Uighurs of more than a hundred years ago.
Is it the same thing?"
The demise of the Uighurs has left many people puzzled. It was clearly in its heyday, but it was bullied and enslaved by the Yenisei River Basin thousands of miles to the northwest. The small power of the Yygas Khanate was destroyed. If you really want to speculate.
, it is estimated that at that time, the Uighurs encountered a natural disaster that had not happened in hundreds of years, and the internal conflicts were huge. King Khan had only a few people at hand, and he was suddenly attacked and died suddenly.
However, the strength of the Yygas Khanate was indeed too weak, and it was unable to control the Uighur Khanate, which had a territory of thousands of miles. So it went wherever it came from. After trying hard to no avail, it withdrew, leaving the grassland shattered into pieces. At the same time,
It also gave each tribe space to take the lead and gradually developed.
It’s so off the mark!
Before entering the city, Yang Yue even took the time to look at the old Uighur capital, and laughed out loud.
The Tibetan people are ignorant, and the city is poorly built. The city walls are short and broken. There is no way to divert Kunshui to build a city wall outside the city, nor to build other types of defense facilities. It is not even as good as the county seat. It is the only possibility to surpass the county seat.
It's just that the place is bigger.
Prairie people, this is normal. For an offensive regime, there is no need to build a city. But once there is an emergency, such as the invasion of the Xigas people, if there is a strong city, the tribes loyal to the Yaoluoge family may be able to hold on.
The army is coming to help. It's too late to say anything now.
Many people have entered the city, mostly Tatars, bodyguards and Tibetan auxiliary troops. Xu Hao is still out hunting down the remaining enemies. This is very pleasing to Yang Yue, he is very energetic!
"Yang Dutou!" Qianhu Helianjun, the bodyguard guarding an important position in the city, saluted and said nothing else.
Yang Yue had a problem with the Tibetan people. Even if he was a Tibetan person on Xia Jun's side, he wouldn't say anything on the surface and was even a little polite, but deep down he still didn't trust them.
Comparatively speaking, the King of Xia had the magnanimity of a "Khan of Heaven". Those who performed meritorious deeds among the Tibetan people were rewarded the same as the Han people and could serve as officials. There was no discrimination and a bowl of water was treated equally.
Another reason is that Helianjun is a member of the Yulin Palace and has a sensitive status. In principle, he should not have many interactions with outsiders, which is detrimental to his future.
"Thousands of households in Helian are aware of the matter. Let's take care of the property for the king first. Meiji has taken good care of it. The soldiers who plundered the cattle and sheep outside the city are all your people, right?" Yang Yue said with a half-smile but not a smile.
He Lianjun had no expression on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "I also acted according to the rules. Every time a city was broken, its treasury was sealed, and the thieves took the officials and their family papers back to the palace to wait for their fate."
Yang Yue nodded and said: "Do it well."
As he entered the city, the chaotic situation eased. The Tatars who had gone too far were captured on the spot and detained, and order was quickly restored in the city.
The civil servants immediately screened the prisoners and began to use various methods to extract information.
This raid on Heichengzi was generally smooth.
The main force of the Chinese army, thousands of cavalry, took advantage of the snowy weather when the enemy was paralyzed to suddenly attack and kill them. Thousands of people had been beheaded by this time. If Xu Hao had waited for Xu Hao to come back after a killing spree, he would have beheaded tens of thousands.
What a brilliant victory.
In addition, there may be tens of thousands of captured Uighurs and Tatars. This is just an estimate, and the specific number will be determined by the final capture statistics.
The number of cattle, sheep and miscellaneous animals is even more uncountable. It should be more than ten times the population, or even more.
But Yang Yue was not interested in any of this. There were flames in his eyes, and some of his thoughts could no longer be suppressed.
Your Majesty is a man of faith. Although it took a few years, he still thought of Lao Yang and knew his preferences. It was good to give him elite troops and let him fight some battles he liked.
Li Tangbin was very enthusiastic about the bad battles in Henan and asked him to fight them. No one should take away these battles in the grassland. They all belong to him, Lao Yang. I hope the king will not feel bad about the loss of troops - Yang Yue is now very worried about Murong Fu, who has lost contact.
Don't let anything happen along that way. As for Zhang Huaiding, they took a detour, but they still kept in contact, so there was no big problem.
In the afternoon, Xu Hao, who was covered in blood, rode back on his horse. He slapped Chuo Luowu on the ground and said, "This thief survived my sword attack. But he was so unlucky that he was caught by me again during his escape.
I heard that it was the special Qin sent here by the Pugu clan. Yang Dutou is very knowledgeable, do you know what the special Qin means?"
"Just think of him as a general." Yang Yue glanced at him and had people pull him down for interrogation.
Chuluowu was crying and terrified. He usually liked to torture and interrogate prisoners. Who knows how many Tatar nobles he tortured to death? Will his retribution finally come to him now?
"General Xu, please take a seat." Yang Yue asked someone to bring a bed over and said with a smile.
Xu Hao took a breath. Yang Yue would also be so friendly and ask people to move his seat. He even used "please"? He must ask for something!
Sure enough, I only heard Yang Yue say: "General Xu knows that in the sixth year of Xiantong (865), Pu Gujun raised troops from Beiting, and was defeated in a big way. He conquered Xizhou (Gaochang), Beiting (Jimusar), and Lun
What about Taiwan, Qingzhen (Manas) and other places?”
"Not sure." Xu Hao answered honestly.
"Then do you know that the Uighur royal family belongs to the Yaoluo Ge family and not the Pugu family?" Yang Yue asked again.
"Heard something."
Yang Yue nodded, we can still communicate.
"After Pu Gujun conquered Xizhou, because of his great achievements, he was worried, so he took refuge with Zhang Yichao in Shazhou. The Yaoluoge family was in Beiting. The Uighurs were actually divided into two groups, namely the Yaoluoge family in Beiting and the Yaoluoge family in Beiting.
Xizhou Pugu clan." Yang Yue continued: "Because Pang Teqin of the Yaoluo Ge clan was canonized by the Tang Dynasty as the Khan of the Luo Lu Dengli Luo Mi Mi Mi Shi He Ju Lu Pi Jia Huai Jian, claiming to be his nephew, and
The Tang Dynasty is my nephew's country, so I borrowed the reputation of the Tang Dynasty to gain a firm foothold in Anxi, so it is inconvenient for him to take action against Pu Gujun."
"After that, Pu Gujun became more and more powerful. Not only did he fall out with the Guiyi Army and conquer Yinzhou, but he even abused the Yaoluoge clan in turn. He forced his son and heirs to lead their troops to the west, join the tribes who moved to Congxi, and
He united with the Geluolu people, claimed to be the King of Khan, and confronted the Gaochang Uighurs of Anxi controlled by the Pugu clan, and the relationship was extremely bad."
"The people who led the troops to recover the Uighur tents in the east were members of the Gaochang Uighur Pugu family. Perhaps they were not in the right position, so they needed to do something to enhance their legitimacy, so they went on this eastward expedition. However, I judge that,
The Gaochang Uighurs seem to be strong and powerful, but they have many internal problems, and they have a deadly feud with the Yaoluo Ge family who went west to Geluolu. They have made too many enemies and cannot last long."
Yang Yue said a lot in one breath, but Xu Hao was confused. Isn't this relationship too complicated?
What kind of traitor is Pu Gujun? The Yaoluo Ge family actually ran to the west of Congling?
"Yang Dutou, according to what you said, the Yaoluoge family of the Uighurs who "came out of the emperor" has been thinking of avenging the usurper Gu family? Or will they send troops to attack in the west?" Xu Hao asked.
"It's not possible, they have been fighting." Yang Yue said, "I heard this from the Tatars. I will interrogate more prisoners later, and I think we can confirm each other." Yang Yue said.
"Then what does this have to do with us?" Xu Hao asked puzzledly: "This surprise attack has been a great victory. Going back will be a great achievement. What does the internal fighting among the Uighurs have to do with us?"
"I want to..." Yang Yue's eyes flashed with a strange expression.
"No!" No matter how stupid Xu Hao is, he still knows what Yang Yue wants to do. He actually wants to hit Anxi with one shot. Is he crazy?
"Huh! Rotten wood cannot wither!" Yang Yue hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.
"Yang Dutou, you are not allowed to launch troops without permission without receiving military orders." Xu Hao said seriously: "The soldiers will not follow you without the king's order."
Yang Yue looked at him coldly.
Xu Hao was not afraid, and his hand had already touched the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"That's it!" Yang Yue let out a long sigh and said, "After sweeping away the surrounding tribes, we can then take charge and ask your Majesty to make a decision."
Xu Hao nodded stiffly. This lunatic, who was over sixty years old and had only a few years to live, actually wanted to risk the entire army being wiped out to cause trouble.
"I will escort some Tatar chiefs back, and the king may want to confer a few titles on them," Xu Hao said.
"Canonization?" Yang Yue was stunned and thought to himself, is King Xia going to proclaim himself emperor? Then he thought about it and realized that he was afraid that he would want the Tatar chieftains to recognize him as the supreme khan and canonize him in the name of the khan.
Hum! Thinking of this festival, I feel even more disgusted in my heart. The great Tang Dynasty governor is not appropriate, he must be the grassland khan. If it doesn't work, you can just call yourself emperor, you have to use the name of khan, this is your destiny
Have you become the co-owner of the grassland?
"Come on!" Yang Yue muttered, but did not dare to speak loudly.
Xu Hao sat back on the bed again and breathed a sigh of relief.show_htm3();
