After all, Xu Tengyun has Han Chinese blood, and his father is an old fritter, and he has been influenced by his father since he was a child, so that he is better at observing words and emotions than ordinary Shatuo people, and seeing the wind and making the rudder, for example, he quickly led the army to surrender when he saw that the situation was not good, and he would never give away his life.

He saw the suspicion in Guo Song's eyes, and hurriedly said: "What I said is true, the Chuyue Department is not a big tribe in the first place, it is because of the union of the other six tribes such as Chumi, there is today's Shatuo, how many people died in the battle of Zhangye, how many losses were lost in the battle of Shazhou, and today they lost 8,000 people, no matter how thick the family foundation is, it can't afford to squander it, not to mention that the family background is not rich, if the other six departments know about today's battle situation, those jackals will definitely divide up the Chuyue department." ”

Of course, Guo Song also thought of this, he asked his soldiers to take Zhu Xie Tengyun down to rest, and asked him to treat this person well, Zhu Xie Tengyun was so grateful that he saluted again and again.

Guo Song smiled and asked Li Bing, "What to do with this Zhu Xie Tengyun?" ”

Li Bing was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "He wants to go back to Luoyang, and he has already promised him." ”

Guo Song knew that Li Bing had misunderstood, so he smiled and said, "I didn't mean to kill him, I'm asking, how do you plan to use him?" ”

Li Bing breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "I am thinking about it, the value of this Zhu Xie Tengyun lies in his father Zhu Xie Jinman, he is an only son, Zhu Xie Jinman must care about him very much, and he feels that he can use Zhu Xie Jinman to do things for us." ”

Guo Song nodded, and Li Bing's suggestion went with him.

Guo Song smiled slightly: "Let Zhu Xie Tengyun write a letter to his father, and you will let him write like this......."

..........

The battlefield has been cleaned up, the army immediately set off to Jinman County, there are still ten miles away from Jinman County, a cavalry galloped over, and the veteran headed by Yang Zhengu was Yang Zhengu.

Guo Song turned over and dismounted and greeted him, Yang Xinggu was so excited, he threw off the horse, stepped forward and hugged Guo Song tightly, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"I knew that the envoy would come again, we have been looking forward to this day for thirty years, and the Tang Army is finally here."

When he had finished speaking, he began to weep bitterly.

Guo Song didn't expect a white-haired old man to cry like a child in front of him, his heart was sour, and he hurriedly said good words to comfort him.

Yang Xingu's mood stabilized a little, he was also a little embarrassed, wiped away his tears and smiled: "I'm a little out of shape, so you can quickly take the brothers to Jinman County to have a good rest!" ”

Guo Song smiled and asked, "Have you accepted the gift I gave to the old general?" ”

Yang Zhengu was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"The logistics battalion of the Shatuo Army!"

Yang Zhengu immediately reacted, and said with a smile: "I accepted it, it's too rich, thousands of big tents, 100,000 stone wheat, and more than 300,000 sheep!"

"If it's not enough, we also brought 20,000 stone of grain."

"It's enough, there are only 15,000 soldiers and civilians in the entire Jinman County, and we have never received so much food."

Guo Song smiled, turned around and ordered: "Speed up, let's go to Jinman County to rest!" ”

The Tang army accelerated the speed of the march, before dark, the army arrived in Jinman County, was welcomed by the Beiting soldiers and civilians, more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians all went out of the city, singing and dancing to welcome the arrival of distant relatives, when Guo Song appeared, many people still remembered him, scrambling to hold his hand.

Yang Xingu waved his hand to quiet everyone, Guo Song looked at a pair of eager eyes, he took a deep breath, and said loudly: "There is only one sentence in a thousand words, and the days of your suffering are gone forever!" ”

Fifteen thousand soldiers and civilians jumped and jumped excitedly, and the cheers suddenly resounded in the sky.

.........

At night, Guo Song sat in the big tent and enjoyed more than a dozen pieces of the best mutton fat jade given to him by Zheng Ju, he loved Hetian jade and gems in his previous life, and this habit was also brought to the Tang Dynasty, he was not bored by the jade, but more addicted to life, and brought his wife in.

However, at this time, Guo Song was thinking about the next action, Shatuo was too much of a hidden danger to the Central Plains, and he must use this opportunity to completely eradicate them, but how to arrange the North Court next, it really took a lot of thought.

Beiting is not like Anxi, Anxi's biggest threat to Tubo's national strength is declining, and he will not come over for the time being, but Beiting is different, Hui Hui's agent in Beiting is killed by himself, will they give up and give up Beiting? And Qarluq, although they are currently in civil strife, once the civil strife is over, will they continue to invade the North Court?

The answers to these questions are self-evident, the key is what to do?

Guo Song put down the jade in his hand, walked to the door of the big tent with his hands, and looked at the sky with a bright moon.

The army was stationed outside Jinman County, and although there was a large open space in the northwest corner of the city, it was full of beans, and Guo Song still asked the Tang army to camp outside the city.

At this time, the soldiers reported on the side: "Envoy, General Yang asks to see!" ”

As soon as Guo Song turned around, he saw Yang Xingu standing aside, looking at him with a smile, Guo Song hurriedly smiled and said, "Old general, please!" ”

Guo Song invited Yang Zhengu into the big tent, the two sat down separately, and a personal soldier served them tea.

Guo Song asked, "Has the old general considered going back to his hometown to retire?" ”

Yang Zhenggu shook his head, "My two sons died in the battle in Tingzhou, and my old wife also died of illness here, I am alone, this is my home, as long as I am in one day, I will guard the territory for the Tang Dynasty for one day, but I am seventy-two years old, and I will not have a few years, and I will count on the envoy in the future for the country!" ”

Guo Song nodded and said, "I will leave Pei Xin in Yizhou and let him assist you in defending your family and country." ”

"General Xiao Pei is good, quite a famous general, but if he stays in Yizhou, does the envoy plan to kill Shatuo?" Yang Zhengu asked with a puzzled expression.

"I was trying to discuss this issue with the old general, does the old general have any good suggestions?"

Yang Zhenggu pondered for a moment and said: "The core of Shatuo is the Chuyue Division, this tribe is ambitious, conquering the east and west, forming an alliance with the Secret Department and the Pre-Branch, and controlling the Lieshan Division, Wusun Division, Jinshan Division and Yiwu Division, I think this can be divided and dissolved, and the kind of ambitious and aggressive tribes should be resolutely annihilated, and those who are gentle and just want to keep their land and grazing should be co-opted." ”

"You don't need to be in the Moon Department, what do you think of the other six tribes?"

Yang Xinggu smiled slightly: "I have been in Beiting for forty years, and I still know more about these tribes, the secret department, the pre-branch and the moon department are actually a tribe, but the number of people in the moon department is the largest, and the strength is the strongest, so he occupies the position of leader, if the secret department is in power, in fact, it is still the same Shatuo, and the pre-branch is also the same thing, the secret department and the pre-branch oppose the moon department, just want to compete for dominance."

And the four tribes of the Lieshan Division, the Wusun Division, the Jinshan Division, and the Yiwu Division, rebelled against the Zhuyue Division, in order to survive, first of all, the human race is different, these four tribes are all local Wusun people in Beiting, and the three tribes of Chuyue, Chumi, and Advance are Tufern people, so do you understand? ”

Guo Song nodded slowly, "I probably understand!" ”

........

The nest of the Shatuo people is in Yiwu City, but only the ruling class of the Shatuo people lives in this city, and a large number of nomadic tribes are distributed in the south of Jinshan and the north of the Tianshan Mountains in the north of Yizhou.

The population of Igo City was not large, only two or three thousand people, and the rest were garrisoned by troops.

There is a big mansion in the south of Yiwu City, here is the mansion of Ye Hu Zhu Xie Jinman, Zhu Xie Jinman lived in the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, his first wife was a Han dancer in Luoyang, gave birth to his only son Zhu Xie Tengyun, after his wife died of illness, he married the daughter of the chief of the secret department according to his father's arrangement, but his wife never gave birth to a child for him.

The former Khan Zhu Xie Jinding, Zhu Xie Weiming who died in Hexi, and Zhu Xie Jinhai, these three were born to the old Khan's wife, and although Zhu Xie Jinman was the eldest son, he was a concubine and had no status.

It's just that he has been studying in Datang for more than ten years, and his nephew Zhu Xieliang appointed him as prime minister, but military power does not.

Zhu Xie Jinman lived in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and his mansion was full of Central Plains style, carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and pavilions, rockeries and ponds, but his wife of the secret department did not like it very much, and even hated it very much, she simply demolished half of the back house and set up a few tents to live.

The two were originally in a political marriage, and they had no children, and their relationship has always been very cold, and they have basically lived separately for more than ten years.

At this time, Zhu Xie Jinman had already received the news of Zhu Xie Moshan's fiasco in Tingzhou and the annihilation of the entire army, and his only son was in the army! Zhu Xiejin was full of anxiety and suddenly fell ill.

But in the evening, Zhu Xie Jinman got an unexpected news, his son sent someone to deliver a letter to him, and he sat up suddenly.

"Where's the messenger?" Zhu Xie Jinman asked urgently.
