Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On October 15th of the second year of Yongning, Zhang Xuān personally led the army back to the court.

    Yang Lian, as the highest military and political officer appointed by the emperor in Tubo, led the generals and Duolang and other Tubo officials to send the emperor's massive team dozens of miles away from Shenwu City.  Next, the imperial court will soon send many Han civilian officials to take office in Tubo Province, and the relevant administrative management will be carried out in accordance with the Central Plains Dao, state, and county system.

    Zhang Xuān believes that if Yang Lian is given at most one year, he will straighten out all aspects of the situation.

    Zhang Xuān still trusts Yang Lian's ability and loyalty.

    In fact, Yang Lian is still the younger generation of Third Sister Yang and Yang Yulian. After all, the current Yang family is also a relative of the emperor.  As the gradually rising mainstay of the Yang family and known as the "Er Yang" together with Yang Qi, Yang Lian's loyalty to the emperor was unquestionable.

    Yang Lian and Duo Lang knelt before the emperor.

    Zhang Xuān sighed and said, "Yang Lian, Duolang, I will return to the court with my troops right now. I will see you off after a long journey, but we must say goodbye at the end. You guys can go back to Shenwu City and keep your duties. Don't neglect the government and military affairs."

    "Duolang, I have entrusted you with an important task. I hope you will not disappoint me." Zhang Xuān said softly, leaning over to help Duolang.

    Dolan said respectfully, "I will serve your Majesty until my death!"

    Zhang Xuān smiled calmly, "I don't need you to die. I just need you to be loyal to your duties, do what you should do, and don't do things you shouldn't do. As long as you remember my words, Zhuoma will be by my side."  , I will ensure that you live a lifetime of prosperity and wealth, and that you will be blessed by your descendants."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Dolan bowed again.

    Zhang Xuān glanced deeply at Duolang. He had already said everything that needed to be said, and before that, he asked Zhuoma to go back to her parents' home again. Ding told Duolang that with Duolang's heart and mind, he  You definitely know where your future is going to be.

    In fact, the Dolan family and the Chinese court have been tied to a chariot, and both are prosperous and disadvantaged.

    Zhang Xuān turned around and glanced at Zhuoma who was riding side by side with Li Tengkong, Su Hudong and Guo Fu, and smiled slightly, "Yang Lian, get up too."

    "I am leaving here and will come back to Tubo. I don't know when. Before I leave, I will give you sixteen words: Be generous and strict, pay equal attention to kindness and power. I don't ask for merit, but I ask for no fault."

    "Yang Lian, you hold thousands of miles of vast territory in your hands and shoulder a heavy burden. As long as you can protect this land for me, I will not begrudge a prince or a prince in the future!"

    Zhang Xuān said in a condensed voice.

    Zhang Xuān is an emperor who doesn’t like to be granted titles. Since he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he has awarded very few meritorious officials and generals.  And the tallest one is just a marquis.

    Being able to tell a prince's title promise from Zhang Xuān's mouth already means that Zhang Xuān attaches great importance to it.

    Yang Lian felt happy and heavy at the same time. He knew that the burden on his shoulders was not light, and the title given by the emperor was not easy to get.  But Yang Lian still knelt down and knelt down again with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty's kindness is so great, I am so moved that I can't repay it, so I will die in the service of your Majesty!"

    Zhang Xuān smiled, got on his horse, and took the lead to fly away in the dust.

    And as he took the lead, the 150,000 troops behind him immediately began to move. The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and the team that stretched for dozens of miles raised yellow dragons flying all over the sky. The momentum was so majestic that it cannot be described in words.

    The news that Zhang Xuān personally led an army to destroy Tubo naturally spread to the country, and the world was shocked.  For Li Gong's party nestled in Ganzhou, every day that passes is one day closer to the end.

    Li Gong's army was in great confusion and was in panic all day long.

    Li Gong sat in the palace and gathered all the generals. Seeing that the military advisor Taiping Taoist had not arrived, he ordered his soldiers to invite him.

    However, Taiping Taoist had already concealed his name and fled Ganzhou.

    The soldiers hurriedly came to report and handed over the last letter left by Taiping Taoist to Li Gong.

    Li Gong took the letter and after reading it, his face became extremely gloomy, and there was a layer of paleness in his gloom.

    No one can say for sure whether Taiping Taoists are open to Jiutian Literature.  Third, abandon Ganzhou immediately, lead the army to flee westward, and enter the Western Regions. After entering the Western Regions, do not stop, go all the way west, cross the Congling Mountains, and seek refuge with the cannibals.

    Li Gong angrily tore the letter in his hand to pieces and roared, "What a Taoist man of peace!

    What a peaceful thief!  "

    "This thief incited me to raise an army and rebel. However, at this moment, he has abandoned me. It is really hateful and hateful! Come here, send an order to arrest Taiping Taoist. If he is captured, he will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan. I only want his head.  !”

    Li Gong gritted his teeth and said, but heBut all the generals remained strangely silent.

    Now that the situation is over, the hearts of his people have long since dispersed.  Many of them have different intentions of abandoning the darkness and turning to the light.

    Li Gong’s eyes flickered, knowing that his current situation was not good.  Although he has the heart to flee westward, there are probably not many soldiers who can flee westward with him.  After all, his soldiers are all from Guanzhong and Heluo, and their families are in the Central Plains. Some of them are willing to follow Li Gong to live in foreign lands and live a wandering life with uncertainty about life and death.

    Zhonglang held Li Tie in his fists and said, "My lord, from the perspective of the last general, His Majesty's army has wiped out Tubo. We cannot resist such a mighty military force. Instead of being trapped in Ganzhou and waiting to die, it is better to take the initiative to surrender. In order to survive!"  "

    After Li Tie finished speaking, the generals shouted for Li Gong to surrender, and they were all very angry.

    Li Gong had a spirit in his heart. He had long seen signs of mutiny among the generals, and at this time, if he did not handle it properly, his life would be in danger.  And this time to persuade them to surrender, I am afraid it was these generals who colluded with their subordinates.

    Li Gong took a long breath, sighed and said, "Forget it, I will write down the order of the letter. Li Tie, I will appoint you as a special envoy to go to the emperor's army and deliver the letter to the emperor! What do you think?"

    Hearing that Li Gong was willing to surrender, the mood of the generals slowly calmed down. Li Tie clasped his fists and smiled loudly, "General, I will obey your order. Please rest assured, my lord, Li Tie will definitely fulfill his mission!"

    At nightfall, the gate of Ganzhou City quietly opened. Li Gong led his family and relatives, escorted by thousands of cavalry, rushed out of Ganzhou City and fled towards Yumen Pass in the west.

    Li Gong knew that he was desperate and could only have a chance of survival by leading a small number of his trusted troops to flee to the Western Regions.  On this point, Taiping Taoist is still right.

    As long as he enters Yumen Pass, he can go all the way west, cross the Congling Mountains, and seek refuge with the Great Eater. With thousands of troops, he should not have much of a problem making ends meet with the Great Eater.

    Li Gong suddenly absconded and the city of Ganzhou fell into chaos.  Zuntie immediately stood up, temporarily acting as the commander-in-chief of Ganzhou, and sent someone to contact Ge Shuhan in Liangzhou urgently. He also sent someone to deliver a letter to the emperor to show his attitude of "correcting evil and returning to justice."

    From the moment Li Gong absconded, Li Gong's rebellion actually ended.

    When the news reached Liangzhou, Ge Shuhan laughed loudly, immediately put on his armor and mounted his horse, gathered more than 10,000 of his men overnight, and rushed to attack Wuwei.

    In the afternoon of the third day, Ge Shuhan led his army to the gate of Wuwei City.

    The chaos in Wuwei City has long been out of control. Ever since the news of the Emperor's pacification of Tubo came, many common people and merchants in the city have long since fled without a trace, and there have even been large numbers of deserters.

    At first, Li Yu used thunderous means to kill the deserters ruthlessly, but later, more and more deserters became available, and killing one as a warning had no effect.  When Ge Shuhan led his troops to the city, Wuwei City was almost an empty city. Only Li Yu and more than a hundred members of the Li Tang royal family guarded the city with thousands of listless soldiers.

    Li Yu walked up to the city tower in fear, stared at Ge Shuhan standing on horseback with the banner fluttering, and shouted loudly, "Brother Shuhan, you are a minister of the Tang Dynasty, and the royal family treats you very well. Today you actually raised troops and came to Wuwei City.  How can you bear to force me like this?!" Ge Shuhan's mouth twitched slightly.

    He hung up his sword on his horse, clasped his fists and sneered, but he shouted to the soldiers on the tower: "My sons, my sons of the Hexi Army, if you open the city gate and surrender at this moment, I will definitely forget the past, and you will be honored in front of Your Majesty."  I advise you to avoid death. If you resist stubbornly, when His Majesty’s army arrives, Wuwei will be in ruins, and you will die without a burial place!"

    "My sons, have you heard what I said?" "My sons, have you listened to what I said?" Ge Shuhan was originally the commander of the Hexi vassal, and he had a high prestige in the army, whether he was under Li Yu or not.  These people are still Li Gong's men. In fact, to be honest, they are all his former subordinates, but they are not his direct troops.

    When Ge Shuhan persuaded him to surrender before the battle, it was obvious that many of the garrison generals in the city were moved.

    Wuwei is an isolated city and cannot be defended.  With these thousands of troops alone, not to mention the 150,000 troops who could resist Zhang Xuān, even the more than 10,000 people outside Geshuhan City could not withstand it.

    Once Ge Shuhan leads his army to attack the city and the city is broken, most people will die violently, and they will also have to bear the name of a rebel.

    Seeing that the situation was not going well, Li Yu loudly rebuked, "Brother Shuhan, what a traitor! You betrayed your master for glory, you are unfaithful and unjust, and you will be infamy for eternity!"

    Ge Shuhan looked up to the sky and laughed, "Li Yu, I have a clear conscience! Li Tang's demise was his own fault. It has nothing to do with me or the people of the world! Today, your majesty is wise and powerful, suppressing the rebellion and destroying Tibet, and opening up new territories."  , Immortal achievements! Now weThe state of Hua Shang is rich and powerful, its people are powerful, and its military power spreads to all the barbarians. I advise you that those who know the current affairs are heroes. If you tie yourself out of the city and plead guilty to Your Majesty, you may be able to protect your property. Xin Yu was furious and said, "Brother Shuhan, okay  An old thief, a traitor! You will be punished by God for being so rebellious!"

    "You are talking nonsense when you are about to die." Brother Shuhan no longer bothered to pay attention to Li Yu. He raised his head and shouted towards the city gate tower, "My sons, I will give you one hour to wait. After one hour, if you don't open the city and surrender,  , I will lead a large army to attack the city. When the city is defeated, you should not blame me for not telling the Japanese army about their friendship!" The sun sets in the west.

    Brother Shuhan had a solemn expression on his face, astride his horse, holding the Mo Dao high in his hand.

    Behind him, more than 10,000 Hexi troops were already in formation, ready to storm Wuwei City.

    Ge Shuhan decided to capture Wuwei City before the emperor returned to Hexi. Otherwise, he, the Hexi vassal commander, would really be unable to explain himself in front of the emperor, at least in face.

    The lieutenant officer behind Ge Shuhan looked at the time and lowered his voice: "Commander, the time has come, can we attack the city?"

    Brother Shuhan nodded solemnly, feeling slightly disappointed.

    He originally thought that Wuwei was an isolated city and was besieged on all sides. The defenders in the city would definitely capture Li Yu and others, and then open the city to surrender.  Unexpectedly, after waiting for an hour, there was no movement in the city.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    The military drum suddenly sounded, shaking the sky and the earth.

    And Ge Shuhan's Hexi sergeant had a tense expression on his face. He leaned forward as the drumbeats intensified, and the weapons and siege equipment in his hands were ready. They would attack the city to the death as soon as the general gave the order.

    "My sons, I will take down Louwei City and ask for your credit in front of His Majesty!"

    "Come on! Kill without mercy!"

    Brother Shuhan still waved his arm and resolutely issued a cruel siege order.  Although he had already seen the city gate slowly opening at this time, it seemed that there were defenders in the city opening the city gate to accept surrender.

    But now Ge Shuhan has changed his mind and is no longer prepared to accept the surrender of Li Yu and others.

    Therefore, the more than 10,000 Hexi troops he marked surged towards the city wall like a tide. Just as the soldiers rushed over with shouts, the city gate in front had already opened. A row of defenders shouted surrender, but they were swept away by a torrent of murderous intent.  The army of Dihexi was submerged.

    The Hexi Army encountered no resistance at all, so many soldiers climbed up the city wall with the help of ladders. There were not many soldiers guarding the city wall at all.  However, the Hexi army that poured into the city gate and the defenders who originally surrendered to Kaicheng started a melee.

    Ge Shuhan issued the military order to attack. The so-called military order fell like a mountain. The soldiers of Hexi brandished their spears and knives, and there was blood everywhere they went.  In desperation, the defenders could only rush to fight and retreat in order to protect themselves.

    General Mo Shen frowned and couldn't help but whispered to Ge Shuhan's side: "Commander, the defenders in the city seem to want to surrender. The general thought that when,

    Before Mo Shen could finish his words, he was interrupted by his brother Shuhan, "I have given them enough time. Since they did not seize the opportunity, don't blame me for being unkind!" "Wuwei"  The defenders are rebels, and it is inevitable for our army to suppress the rebellion and attack the city to defeat the enemy. What are your intentions for making noise in front of me?" Mo Shen was startled and Brother Shuhan slapped him with a big hat.  , he turned over and dismounted, knelt down in front of Ge Shuhan's horse with a bang, and said in a trembling voice, "Commander, I am confused and I have made a mistake. Please forgive me, Commander!" "That's all, for the sake of how many years you have followed me.  , I will let the past go. However, you must remember that if you talk more and disrupt the morale of our army, I will kill you in front of the battle!"

    "Go down and pass on my commander's orders. The traitors in the city are stubborn and will be killed without mercy!"

    Ge Shuhan issued this military order again, and the Hexi army that had already rushed into the city became even more brave, shouting to kill, attacking and cutting thousands of defenders into different small pieces, surrounding them, and annihilating them one by one.  Of course, some people surrendered, which is another matter.

    From being unwilling to accept the challenge, to splitting up in the city, some wanted to defend the city, and some wanted to open the city to surrender, and then to passively fighting when the situation was not good, thousands of Wuwei City defenders and Geshuhan's more than 10,000 Hexi troops launched a desperate battle in the city.  The city was narrow and the horses could not move forward, so it turned into a battle between infantry and infantry.

    From sunset to dusk, after an hour of Liao Zhan fighting, half of the Wuwei defenders knelt down and surrendered, and half were beheaded in the city. The corpses of the defenders or the Hexi Army were all over the streets.

    The moonlight is cold, but very bright.

    After a bloody battle, Wuwei City returned to calm, but the air was filled with an unspeakable smell of blood, which made people's hearts heavy.

    Ge Shuhan led his guards into the city and went straight to the government office.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The soldiers held torches and stood guard in front of the government office. Ge Shuhan got off his horse and stepped forward.

    Mo Shen and other generals hurriedly walked out of the government office, bowed to Ge Shuhan and saluted, "Commander!" Ge Shuhan nodded, suddenly stared at the mansion, and said calmly, "Mo Shen, where are Li Yu and others?"  ?" The corner of Moshen's mouth twitched slightly, and his face became pale and strange.

    He glanced at Ge Shuhan with some fear, bowed down and said, "Reply to the commander-in-chief, Li Yu and more than a hundred people resisted stubbornly, and they all died in the chaos!"

    "You bastards! Li Yu and others are serious offenders of the imperial court and need to be personally punished by your majesty. However, they died in the rebel army today. How can I, the commander, explain to your majesty?"

    Brother Shuhan was furious.

    The corner of Mo Shen's mouth trembled again, and he bravely said, "Commander, our army is ordered to destroy the thieves and attack the city. During the bloody battle between these two armies, it is not the soldiers' fault that they have no eyesight with swords and guns."

    Brother Shuhan let out a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said, "Collect the body quickly and bury it generously!"

    "At the same time, I immediately wrote a letter to report to Your Majesty, saying that the city of Wuwei was destroyed, and Li Yu and others died in the rebellion. Ge Shuhan knew that he was guilty of a big crime, so he wrote to His Majesty to apologize, begging to resign from the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Hexi Army, remove his armor and return to his fields.  "

    Mo Shen quickly took the order and left.

    Looking at the backs of Mo Shen and others who were about to leave, Ge Shuhan walked a few steps up the steps of the government office, then turned around and walked down with a complicated expression. He slowly looked up at the bright round in the night sky.  Looking at the crescent moon, I sighed in my heart: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are an eternal wise king. Let my brother Shu Han bear this kind of infamy! The Li Tang clan will never be destroyed, and the world will be in turmoil. Brother Shu Han is old and weak, unable to  Since your Majesty opened up new territories and shared the unparalleled glory, just retire now!"

    As soon as he thought of this, Ge Shuhan strode away.

    He got on his horse and galloped all the way out of the city. Throughout the night, he did not rest in the city, but stayed in the camp outside the city.

    In the city, Mo Shen led hundreds of soldiers to collect the bodies of Li Yu and others, took ready-made coffins from the coffin shop in the city, and buried Li Yu and others on a high slope outside the city overnight.  According to Ge Shuhan's order, Moshen sent someone to erect a stone tablet without words.  !  .
