Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Six years of innovation, June.

    North of Hengshan, a mighty army is crossing the desert.

    The Benxi Qiang people who were near the desert were extremely frightened when they saw the yellow sand kicked up by the soldiers and horses as they marched.  For the Qiang people in Benxi, the whole tribe only has 20,000 households. Now they only survive between the Tuyuhun tribe and the Tubo tribe. They are vassals to the two tribes and pay them tribute of cattle and sheep every year in exchange for the tribe's right to survive.  .

    For such a weak tribe, facing this endless army, they naturally have no intention of resisting.

    The Qiang people of Benxi had already sent envoys to lie down on the road, offering the most beautiful women in their tribe, the purest water, and half of the tribe¡¯s cattle and sheep to welcome the arrival of the large army and horses.  However, after the army resisted, they paid no attention to the tribute from the Benxi Qiang people, and instead gave the Benxi Qiang people one hundred taels of gold.

    The Western Qiang people knew this, and they looked down upon their own people¡¯s offerings.

    After crossing the desert, the army camped under the mountain.

    As the general of the Northern Route Army, Wang Junkuo, he now has a large number of troops at his disposal.

    Liang Shidu, Zhang Changxun, Yuan Junzhang and other Zhao army generals have arrived as the vanguard, as well as Dang Xiangqiang and Jihu troops, plus the main cavalry of the 100,000-room Dexi tribe that he brought from Mobei.  , the 30,000 Turkic cavalry that hold the power of losing consciousness, as well as Qibi Heli, the Mobei Turks of Ashinadur, and the troops of Tiele tribes.

    The strength of Zhao's North Army alone was close to 200,000, which was almost equivalent to the total strength of Li Tang's entire country.  This is what Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin, what he fears most is the crushing of national power.  The kingdom of thousands of chariots is in front of the kingdom of ten thousand chariots.  There is no possibility of a comeback.

    "The chiefs of the Benxi Qiang and Bailan Qiang are outside. They told us a very important news. It is that Li Tang has an alliance with Tubo. The leader of Tubo, Langri Songtsan, has great talent and strategy. He has won 50,000 soldiers in the country.  Everyone. Now send General Chen Bing to the area around Heyuan (Note 1)."

    "In addition, Duan Decao also refused to surrender. In addition, Chai Shao, Yang Shidao, and Yang Gongren also led the Tang army to set up formations along Hexi and were ready."

    After hearing this, Wang Junkuo stroked the beard on his chin and said: "I thought I could take Hexi without any effort, but it seems that we still have to struggle a lot. It's no wonder that your majesty asked this governor to lead the army here in advance. In this case, it's okay. Western Turks  And Tuyuhun, Gaochang, where are their kings and Khans?"

    Liang Shidu said: "Fu Yun, the Khan of the Tuyuhun tribe, has arrived! Qu Wentai, the leader of the Gaochang Kingdom, is also outside the tent! Khan Yehu, the Turkic leader, has not arrived yet."

    "That's good. I don't want to see the clan leaders of Benxi Qiang and Bailan Qiang. We won't wait for those who are late. Let those waiting outside the tent come in first!" Wang Jun said.

    Soon Fuyun, the Khan of the Tuyuhun tribe, and Qu Wentai, the leader of the Gaochang Kingdom, both arrived.  Fu Yun's surname was Murong, and the Tuyuhun tribe had been intermarried with the Sui Dynasty for generations. His tribe had a city wall but did not live in it.  In the Western Region, Tuyuhun is a big country, three thousand miles from east to west.  For more than a thousand miles from north to south, the officialdom in the country was similar to the Sui Dynasty system, with the titles of king, duke, servant, minister, doctor, and general.

    And Gaochang State is a big country in the Western Regions and has always been the center of the Western Regions.  Buddhism is worshiped in the country, and the people live together with Han and barbarian people. As time goes by, the people there live together.  The Han people are transformed into barbarians, and the barbarians are transformed into Han people.  Evolved into a unique folk custom.

    " Murong Fuyun and Qu Wentai are both well-known figures in the Western Regions.  No one among the people knows it, no one knows it.  But now these two people, who are the lords of a country, immediately paid homage to Wang Junkuo as soon as they entered the big tent. They did not dare to claim to be the lord of the country, the Khan.

    Murong Fuyun said first: "I heard that Dadu is protecting the flag and conquering the Tang Dynasty. I, the Tuyuhun tribe, are offering 3,000 fine Qinghai horses to support the army. I hope Dadu will protect the flag and win!"

    Qu Wentai on the side also said: "I also heard that Dadu was protecting the Tang Dynasty, so I specially donated three hundred dans of white salt, three hundred dans of red salt, and three hundred pieces of folded cloth to congratulate Dadu on the success of the horse protection!"

    Murong Fuyun and Qu Wentai both speak good Chinese because they both have Han wives.  Murong Fuyun's wife was Princess Guanghua, and Qu Wentai's wife was Princess Huarong. They were both daughters of the Sui Dynasty clan.  In order to manage the Western Regions, Emperor Sui adopted a marriage strategy and married off the princesses of the clan to these two people, so they were both proficient in Chinese.

    Wang Junkuo heard the two of them say: "I don't want you to send these money, food and war horses. We have enough of them. Now Tubo Zanpu and Li Tang have united and stationed their army at the source of the river. Do you think you want to destroy them for us?"  "

    Murong Fuyun and Qu Wentai both showed hesitation after hearing this.

    Liang Shidu was very unhappy and asked: "What do you want to say to the Protector? Are you willing or unwilling? Are you hesitant to say it or not?"

    Murong Fuyun lowered his head and said: "The Protector of the Capital has orders, and we must abide by them, but the Tubo Kingdom is so powerful that it may be difficult for the two of us to resist it."?, I would like to ask the Great Protector and Tong Yehu Khan for this matter. As long as he is willing to nod and fight against Tibet, we are all willing to obey.  "

    "Tongyehu Khan?" Wang Junkuo sneered, "Can Tongyehu Khan be as good as Jieli Khan? I heard that last year, Tang Army General Chai Shao only brought 10,000 troops and marched across the Western Turks.  People can't stop it, in my opinion it's nothing more than that."

    Qu Wentai said: "Most of the guards didn't know something. Chai Shao was a famous general in the Tang army, but the Western Turks were not that weak. When Chai Shao invaded, Tong Yehu Khan was leading the tribes with ten surnames and the servant army of the Western Regions to fight against the Western Turks.  Our allies are also attacking Persia, so we let Chai Shao take advantage of the opportunity. If there is a real battle, Tong Yehu Khan will not be afraid of Chai Shao."

    Qu Wentai told the truth. At that time, Tong Yehu Khan was attacking Persia, which was the Sasanian Dynasty in history.  The Sasanian dynasty adopted Zoroastrianism as the state religion.  Many people in the Western Regions believe in Zoroastrianism, so it is very influential in the Western Regions.

    But this caused displeasure among the Western Turks.

    Therefore, it was with the help of Tong Yehu Khan that Emperor Heraclius, the hero of the Eastern Roman Empire, achieved a decisive victory in the Battle of Nineveh, a key battle against the Sassanid Dynasty.  At the time of Chaishao's invasion, Tongyehu Khan was meeting with Emperor Heraclius at the gates of Tbilisi.

    As a result, after Tongyehu Khan heard that Chai Shao had entered the country, he hurriedly led his army back from Tbilisi, making Emperor Heraclius and the generals of the Eastern Roman Empire laugh at him.

    Now after Murong Fuyun and Qu Wentai proposed to unite Yehu Khan to attack Tubo, Wang Junkuo heard the reason and said: "It seems that Tongyehu Khan still has some ability, but you don't know it yet! Tongyehu Khan has already  You are surrendering to me, the Great Zhao!"

    Murong Fuyun and Qu Wentai were surprised when they heard that the Western Turkic Khan's submission to the Great Zhao was not a glorious thing in the eyes of Tong Yehu Khan, so he did not tell these servant countries in the Western Regions.

    Now Murong Fuyun and Qu Wentai were shocked when they heard this.

    "Has the Western Turkic Khan arrived yet?" Wang Junkuo asked unhappily.

    General Zhang Changxun said outside the tent: "Reporting to the Protector-General, Tong Yehu Khan has just arrived. He said he was delayed on the way and will apologize to the Protector-General later!"

    Wang Junkuo nodded and said: "I know!" After saying that, Wang Junkuo glanced at Murong Fuyun and Qu Wentai, and they both stopped talking.
