First of all, Ashina Helu is not a direct descendant of Yibi Shekui Khan, and is even considered the largest opposition within the Turks. Because he bears the mark of his predecessor, Yugushe, he is supported by many tribes. As long as he is around, Yibi Shekui will have sleepless nights, like a sharp cone on naan, always lifting and taking a bite.
If the Turks are internally divided, they will not be able to carry out large-scale actions to plot against the Tang Dynasty. Even with a little push, they can make Ashina Helu and Yipi Shegui turn against each other, provoke an internal war among the Turks, and plunge them into civil strife, which will have a negative impact on the Tang Dynasty. The benefits are naturally greater.
Secondly, once Ashina Helu returns to the Turks, he will inevitably exaggerate and publicize the Uighurs' rebellion in front of the battle to cover up his responsibility for the defeat.
Even if Yibi Shekui Khan wanted to unite all tribes and strengthen the Turks, so he tolerated the behavior of the Uighurs, Ashina Helu would definitely pursue it to the end and kill all the Uighurs, thus completely pushing the Uighurs to the side of the Tang Dynasty.
Don¡¯t think that the Uighurs are just dependent on the Turks and enslaved by them. In fact, the power of the Uighurs cannot be underestimated.
It was from the early Tang Dynasty that the Uighurs got rid of the control of the Turks and began to gradually grow, and then became a force that cannot be ignored in the entire Western Region.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Another name for the Huihe people is "Weiwu'er", and you know how powerful he is
If such a tribe is allowed to multiply and expand wildly, that scene in history will occur, and it will gradually become a serious problem for the Tang Dynasty.
Only by taking control of it and controlling its development can the buds of its strength be cut off
Without Ashina Helu's strong revenge, no one knows whether Yibishekui will hold the Uighurs responsible for betraying the enemy. After all, Yibishekui is currently in an incorrect position and has not yet completely controlled the Turks, so he may not be willing to deal with the Turks. Huihe, who was very powerful, killed him ruthlessly.
Therefore, there is a sudden change in whether the Turks will massacre the Huihe people.
If the attitude of the Turks is not tough enough and the reaction is not violent enough, Tumidu may not be willing to move the whole family south and completely attach themselves to the Tang Dynasty
¡¡
Fang Jun sat back in his seat, thought for a while, and said: "The news of this matter is sealed, and no information can be leaked for the time being, so as not to get confused and get lucky and change his mind."
For Tumidu, all he wanted to do was lead the Huihe people to found the country. As for whether they were enslaved by the Turks or attached to the Tang Dynasty, there was not much difference. If he hadn't tricked him once, causing the Uighurs to give the Turks a severe backstab, so for fear of being liquidated by the Turks, they might not have moved their entire clan to completely attach themselves to the Tang Dynasty.
Although I had deceived Tumidu before, Tumidu's so-called dependence on the Tang Dynasty was naturally flawed. The Uighur people's real intention was probably to help the Tang army annihilate the Ashinahelu tribe without knowing it, and then try to please both sides. .
But I don¡¯t want to be tricked by myself and lead to a complete break with the Turks
But now that the matter has come to this, who would have thought that Ashina Helu could escape from the fighting of thousands of troops, only to accidentally encounter two unknown soldiers and lose his life?
Time is also destiny.
Pei Xingjian nodded and said: "No problem, let's go to Jiaohe City first, then accompany Tumidu to Luntai City, send him back to the north of Tianshan Mountain, and wait for his family to move south. The commander-in-chief can go to Baishui Town first. It will take at most a month to clean up the mess and wait for Tumidu to return and join him. When the Uighur army and Youtun Guards join forces to support Gongyue City, the chances of victory will naturally increase."
Fang Jun shook his head and said: "The war situation in the Western Regions is corrupt and the Arabs are unstoppable. How can it be so easy to turn defeat into victory? The top priority right now is still to rectify the Anxi Protectorate. The Guanlong clan has been rooted in the Western Regions for many years. Since the establishment of the Western Region Protectorate, From that day on, everyone from top to bottom was controlled by him. Guo Xiaoke was defeated and died in Kucha before, and he may not have had the hand to close the Longmen clan. If his influence cannot be completely eliminated, it will always be a hidden danger. Who knows? Are they colluding with the Turks again to steal the Anxi Army's retreat?"
" This is the truth, but the Guanlong Clan has been running the Western Region for many years. It is naturally difficult to eradicate its influence.
Fortunately, the Western Region is different from the mainland. Military control is enforced everywhere. As long as the generals and the Anxi Army are determined, things will be much easier to handle.
Of course, if you want to eliminate the power of the Guanlong Clan, the Anxi Army will bear the brunt. Whether it can still maintain the combat effectiveness of the Anxi Army while eliminating the Guanlong Clan is a big question.
Pei Xingjian did not agree with this: "The imperial court is worried that there will be no conclusion for a while about the Guanlong clan's collusion with the enemy and treason. There must be a confrontation in the court, and the exchange of various interests takes time. This is one of them. Furthermore, for the sake of safety, His Highness the Crown Prince may not dare to make drastic changes to those generals."Treasonous traitors will be brought to justice one by one." Above the court, stability is still required after all. Even if His Majesty returns to Chang'an now, he may not be able to use thunderous means But in the Western Region, we don't have to worry too much. Guanlong Clan made a mistake first, so naturally he feels guilty, even if If we go too far, they will have to keep a low profile and tolerate it. "
The Crown Prince supervises the country, and his authority is naturally not as stable as His Majesty's. If the punishment is too harsh, it will inevitably force Guan Longmen to take risks.
"However, the Guanlong clan has committed a heinous crime. How can we not be afraid that the imperial court will first convict him of treason and then severely punish him?"
No one between the imperial court and the Guanlong clan dared to break up with each other first, because that would mean forcing the other party to embark on a more intense path, which neither party wanted to see.
In the final analysis, no matter how unscrupulous the Guanlong clan was in the Western Regions, no matter how much they dared to collude with the Turks and Dashi, they were only doing it for the benefit of the family, but they did not really have the heart to be rebellious and wanted to overthrow the Tang Dynasty and change the dynasty. , destroy Li Tang and replace him.
It is conceivable that when news of the Western Regions reaches Chang'an, there will be a period of silence within a short period of time. The two sides will test each other in private, and there will be no vigorous life or death.
There is nothing black or white, right or wrong in this world, there is only exchange of interests and mutual compromise
" Shuangfa's tacit understanding of forbearance gave Fang Jun an opportunity to drastically rectify the Anxi Protector's Mansion.
No matter how cruel Fang Jun¡¯s methods are, the Guanlong clan can only endure it at this critical moment, not daring to react too fiercely, for fear that the prince will ignore it and suddenly strike cruelly
Fang Jun touched the short mustache on his lips and thought for a long time, then slowly nodded.
Although there are some risks in this matter, the Guanlong Clan may not allow themselves to uproot their influence in the Western Region, but in terms of rectifying the Anxi Protectorate and eliminating the worries of the Anxi Army, this risk is worth taking.
"You should be solely responsible for this matter. If I can't come forward directly, I will lead troops to station in Baishui Town to intimidate the Guanlong clan for you. If anyone dares to act rashly, the army will rush into Jiaohe City! Take Ju Wendou and Chimu Hague with you. These two people know the top and bottom of Jiaohe City as well as the lines on their palms, so they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
Since these two people chose to attach themselves to the Tang Dynasty, they naturally had to openly side with the Tang Dynasty in a public place, so that everyone in the world would know their position, and completely cut off the possibility of them playing both sides and playing both sides. Later, he worked hard for Datang.
Although these words were not spoken, Pei Xingjian immediately understood Fang Jun's intention and took the order: "Don't worry, Commander, the general will know what to do."
Fang Jun smiled and said: "You can do things with peace of mind. In the past few years, you have gained experience. If this Western Expedition can turn defeat into victory and drive out the Tartars, after returning to Chang'an, I will definitely protect you as a minister of the Sixth Ministry. Who dares If you object, someone will knock on his door!¡±
Pei Xingjian bowed to express his thanks. Faced with the temptation of such a high-ranking official and generous salary, he kept his expression as usual and said with a smile: "Commander, don't be like this. The general is still young and will be running errands and doing things with His Highness the Prince and the Marshal. Very soon." I have learned a lot. The official title is there. As long as the general works hard and is loyal to His Highness, he will get it sooner or later. There is no rush."
"Fang Jun's regard for him is known to both the government and the public, so how could he not know it himself?" This trust was so important that it was almost completely uncovered. Even though Pei Xingjian was grateful, he could only say, "A scholar will die for his confidant." Instead, he could not say anything flattering.
It doesn¡¯t matter how nice you say it, it just depends on what he does in the future.
That night, the Youtun Guards rested up and down for the night. At dawn the next day, they made fire and cooked food. After breakfast, the army broke camp and set off in the wind and snow.
Pei Xingjian first went to Jiaohe City to join Cheng Wuting to rectify the officials of the Anxi Protectorate. It was inevitable to arrest and kill people. Tumidu accompanied him, and then rushed to Luntai City. From there, he went north through the North Tianshan Pass and returned to his clan. Called the clan members to move south.
Fang Junze led the Youtun Guards to station in Baishui Town to intimidate the countries in the Western Regions.
At the same time, two battle reports were sent to Chang'an and Gongyue City respectively, one to the east and one to the west. On the surface, they did not cause much shock, but in fact, they were undercurrents
