Zhu Xie Jinhai suddenly understood that the person opposite must be his enemy Guo Song, he roared, urged the horse to gallop, and smashed a sixty-pound mace on the top of Guo Song's head.

Guo Song was not in a hurry, and swept away with the Fang Tian painting halberd, this halberd came first, as fast as lightning, and slashed the opponent's neck, and before the mace hit Guo Song, Zhu Xie Jinhai's head was gone first.

Zhu Xie Jinhai was taken aback, and hurriedly drew his stick to resist, but unexpectedly blocked a void, his chest suddenly had a sharp pain, he slowly lowered his head, only to find that the other party's Fang Tian painting halberd had pierced his chest.

"This is a blood debt to be repaid for Guo Chongqing!"

Zhu Xie Jinhai didn't know who Guo Chongqing was, he only felt that his life was leaving him, he suddenly screamed, and he died of anger.

Guo Song picked up his corpse and flew it in the air, and before the corpse could hit the ground, Fang Tian waved his halberd, 'Click! 'Zhu Xie Jinhai's head was cut off.

The cavalry of the Tang army swarmed up and killed more than a dozen of Zhu Xie Jinhai's personal guards.

At this time, the battle in the distance has ended, and countless Shatuo soldiers surrendered on their knees.

The rest of the tribes that broke free from the fetters rushed to plunder the population and property of the thirteen tribes of the Yue, but Zhu Ximoshan sneaked into the Yiwu River and escaped with his life, he fled to the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and migrated westward with a small tribe of hundreds of people, defected to the Hui people, and was placed by the Hui on the east bank of the Yibo Sea, which was the only surviving branch of the Yue tribe, but it only lasted less than a hundred years before it was annexed by the Huanggas people and completely wiped out.

On the official road of Xingxing Gorge, a team of more than 100 camels is heading east, the person who rides a horse is Zhu Xie Jinman, he changed his name to Zhu Man, and went to Luoyang with his son Zhu Tengyun, Zhu Xie Jinman looked back at the grassland behind him for the last time, he sighed, urged the horse to move forward, the team gradually disappeared on the official road, more than ten years later, Zhu Man and his son became a famous leather merchant in Luoyang.

..........

The Shatuo garrison at the Yinshan checkpoint also disappeared, and the Tang army took over the Yinshan guard, and it was much closer to Yanji Town from here.

At the foot of the silver mountain, there is a cemetery that has just been renovated, a high circle of walls is erected around it, twelve tombs have become cemeteries, built with bluestone, the weeds are cleared up, and they become clean and tidy, there is a bouquet of white flowers in front of the twelve tombs, and there is a tall stone tablet in the front: 'The record of three hundred warriors in the tenth year of the Great Calendar', which records the experience of Guo Song, the special envoy of the Son of Heaven in the tenth year of the Great Calendar, leading three hundred cavalry to envoy Anxi and Beiting.

Behind the stele are the names of the two hundred and twenty-three soldiers who died in battle.

Guo Song was half-kneeling, silently placing a bouquet of white flowers in front of the stone tablet, and behind him, 10,000 Tang soldiers mourned solemnly and silently.

The cemetery is home to twelve Tang soldiers who accompanied him on his mission to Anxi, as well as many more who fell in battle, including Guo Song's close friend Guo Chongqing.

"Rest in peace! Tang Dalang, rest in peace! Zhang Changwu, rest in peace! Tong Shun, rest in peace! All the soldiers who died on this land, I have erected a monument for you, and the soldiers and civilians of Beiting will always remember you! ”

Guo Song stood up and stood silently for a long time, and then said to everyone: "Let's go, go to Yiwu City!" ”

Guo Song turned over his horse, glanced back at the cemetery, and urged the horse to go north.......

Yiwu City was entrenched by the Shatuo people for decades, except for a city wall to remain in its original state, the buildings in the city were basically demolished, only the official office and a few mansions remained, and the Han people were nowhere to be found, almost half of the area in the city was sheepfolds and horse sheds, which went out to graze during the day and drove them back at night.

Sima Zhao Wei of the army was reporting the harvest in the city to Guo Song, "It took dozens of people to count for three days, and the count was barely completed, there were 1.5 million sheep and 70,000 war horses, which was after the Shazhou fiasco, Zhu Xieliang was ready to compensate for the property of the six tribes, but there was no negotiation, the other party wanted 3 million sheep, the gap was too big, and there were 800,000 catties of pig iron in the warehouse, and 300,000 catties of blister copper......"

"How much pig iron?" Guo Song asked in surprise.

"800,000 catties, they mined and smelted from the Yizhou mines, accumulated for more than ten years, I heard that there are still a large number of unsmelted iron ore and copper ore over there, no one guarded them, the miners have fled home, and the lowly post is going to take a look in two days."

"Let's go to the warehouse!"

Guo Song followed Zhao Wei to the Yiwu warehouse, the warehouse is located behind the king's tent, close to the city wall, covering an area of more than 300 acres, composed of dozens of large warehouses, all the property in the city has been collected and stored.

The warehouse complex was guarded by five hundred soldiers, and when they came to a warehouse, two soldiers creaked open the door.

Large chunks of swarthy pig iron were stacked in the warehouse, each marked with five hundred catties on it.

"There are a total of 400 pieces here, and there are 400 pieces next door, a total of 1,600 pieces, all of which are 500 catties of pig iron, which is 800,000 catties, and the same is true of blister copper, 200 catties a piece, a total of 1,500 yuan, and two warehouses are stacked."

Guo Song nodded, and asked again, "How many weapons and money are there?" ”

"The weapons and leather armor are gone, they are all used by Zhu Xie Jinhai to equip the herdsmen recruited from all over the country, there are only a few thousand spears left, and there are more than 10,000 big tents, all of which are very good sheepskin big tents, and there is a lot of money, there are more than 400,000 taels of silver alone, and there will be no less than 100,000 taels of gold, 300,000 horses of colored silk, and more than 1 million sheepskins, which are their official inventory, and a large number of gold, silver and jewelry collected from the king's tent and various nobles' mansions have not yet had time to be counted."

Guo Song nodded, this is the destruction of the country after all! Although Shatuo is not big, the wealth accumulated over the decades is also quite amazing.

At this time, a soldier came to report, "Envoy Qiqi, eighteen elders representing the six departments are here. ”

........

The Council of Elders of Shatuo is somewhat similar to the Political Consultative Conference, with three noble elders from each of the six tribes, plus three people from the Moon Division, a total of 21 people forming the Council of Elders, whose power is second only to that of Shatuo Khan, and is the basis for the maintenance of Shatuo's regime.

Sha Tuo no longer exists, and the Council of Elders has also died out, and the eighteen elders have arrived today to discuss with Guo Song the follow-up arrangements for the North Court, including the distribution of benefits.

In the hall of the Yizhou Prefecture, eighteen elders were anxiously waiting for the arrival of the commander of the Tang Army, they had just received the news that more than 600 noble men in the Moon Department had all been executed by the Tang Army, and the women were also sent to Anxi and handed over to the soldiers stationed in the Tang Army for marriage, which undoubtedly shocked them and made them realize the ruthless side of the commander of the Tang Army.

At this time, Guo Song walked in quickly, and said with a smile: "Let you wait for a long time!" ”

Eighteen elders stood up and saluted one after another, "See Guo Yuanjun!" ”

Guo Song sat down on the main seat and said with a smile: "If you can't understand Chinese, I can also speak Turkic, but I'm not a little proficient." ”

An old man at the head stood up and said, "Although the envoy speaks Chinese, we usually talk about it in Chinese, and most of us use Chinese, but there are a few Turkic languages that are not very good. ”

"That's good, let's make a long story short, the end of the Shatuo regime this time is not only the revival of Beiting, but also the beginning of your liberation from the oppression of the Moon Department and a new life, which I hope you can recognize."

Guo Song looked at the dozen or so old men with sharp eyes, this is a matter of political position, and it is also the basis for their negotiations, if there is a tribe that says that they want to inherit Shatuo, then there is nothing to talk about.

The Wusun Department took the lead in stating, "Our Wusun Department fully supports Guo Yuanjun, we originally lived in the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, lived a peaceful life, and had no quarrel with the world, but the Ministry of the Moon Force forcibly incorporated us into Shatuo, not only forced men to join the army, fought for them, but also levied a sheep tax of 30% on us every year, so that our people have lived in the pain of darkness since then, it was Guo Yuanjun who led the Tang Army to rescue us, and we remember this kindness." ”

With the Wusun Department taking the lead, the Jinshan Ministry, the Yiwu Ministry, and the Lieshan Ministry, all expressed their positions, but they got rid of the oppression of the Chuyue Ministry.

Guo Song's gaze turned to the elders of the secret division and the pre-branch, and his gaze became more and more cold, these two tribes are the alliance of the Zhuyue tribe, the Zhuyue tribe and the same root branch, which are different from the other four conquered tribes.

The troops of the secret department and the pre-branch were also greatly damaged in the decisive battle with Zhu Xie Jinhai, and the vast majority of the more than 10,000 Shatuo soldiers captured in Shazhou were from their two tribes, and they had no confidence in the face of Guo Song's strength.

The head elder of the Secret Department sighed and said: "Before, we trusted the Moon Department, believing that it would bring us prosperity and prosperity, but in just a few years, our young and strong population has plummeted by sixty percent, and they all died in the war. ”

The elders of the pre-branch also said: "We feel the same way about the pain of the secret department, and we support Guo Yuanjun!" ”

Guo Song nodded, "Since everyone has expressed their attitude, let's talk about the distribution of benefits and future arrangements!" ”
