Du Xian's letter was transmitted to the royal court of Turgish non-stop.

The Sulu Khan of Turgish looked at Du Siam's letter and was furious.

As the champion of the Tang Dynasty, Du Xian is so outstanding in writing.

An article angrily denouncing the greed of the Sulu Khan, written impassionedly, word for word.

At the same time, he also expressed the generosity of the Celestial Empire, and persuaded Sulu Mo to play any tricks, keep to himself, and be a good minister.

Du Xianam's letter did not give Sulu any face.

In Du Xian's eyes, Sulu's status was on a par with his.

A vassal khan, whose status is no higher than that of him, the deputy protector of the Anxi Grand Metropolitan Protectorate, speaks with a strong tone of superiority of the Celestial Empire.

Although Sulu Khan knew the Chinese language and learned Chinese culture, in his heart as a foreign barbarian, he admired strength and strength.

A big fist is the last word, and a strong voice is loud.

The righteousness in Du Xian's letter was awe-inspiring, but in the eyes of Sulu Khan, it seemed disdainful and particularly harsh.

Especially since he is also the chosen one.

In the past, Su Dingfang destroyed the Western Turks, because the Turks were too remote, and they did not go on an expedition, but they captured the Khan of the Western Turks to Chang'an and accepted the punishment of the Heavenly Empire.

As a result, the Turkish also preserved its strength, and the anti-guest was the mainstay, and it was only by absorbing the scattered deserters and refugees of the Western Turks that they were able to get on the table.

For a long time, the strength of the Turgish was not strong enough to dominate the Western Regions.

Not only that, but there are also frequent civil strife, and from time to time let the post-Turks bully it.

The real hero of the Turgish was the Sulu Khan.

The Sulu Khan is like the legendary Chosen Son, who is favored by the heavens.

Originally, the Sulu Khan was not qualified to hold the position of Turgish Khan, but because of the invasion of the Later Turkic Khan King Mosi, the Khan of Turgish was loyal and killed, and the Sulu Khan became the Khan of Turgish with a bit of luck.

At that time, Sulu led a group of remnants of the defeated soldiers, and there was almost nowhere to settle in the Western Regions.

It was at this time that the Byzantine Empire came to the fore.

The Byzantine Empire had defeated the Arab Empire, and it could only rely on the unparalleled navy and the artifact Greek fire, and barely held the country.

The Byzantine army had almost been wiped out by the Lion Kings of Arabia, and was in dire need of allies.

As a nomadic people, Turgish have a natural instinct to shoot arrows on horseback, and they are especially powerful in the field.

In order to win over Sulu, Byzantium gave heavy financial support.

With this pie falling from the sky, Sulu gained a foothold in the Western Regions, and cleaned up the remnants, becoming the hero of the Western Regions with two or three hundred thousand soldiers.

The Sulu tribe grew stronger and stronger, and although they still paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty on time, they had already had the intention of invading the Tang Dynasty borderlands in their hearts.

Tubo planned the Tang Dynasty to encircle the network, and Sulu was moved at that time, and decided to take advantage of the time when Tubo and Arabia were muddying the Western Regions, to capture the city of broken leaves and plunder the four towns of Anxi.

However, under Pei Min's diplomatic means of distant friendship and close attack, the Tang Dynasty stopped Sulu's attack on Broken Leaf City by lobbying Byzantium.

Since then, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks have been at peace with each other, trading with each other, taking what they need and profiting from development.

It's just that Sulu has restless blood in his bones, especially as he becomes stronger and stronger, and his belligerent and aggressive mind can't bear it.

Sulu felt that it was not worth it to trade with Datang, and the cattle and horses that his people had worked so hard to raise were too worthless to exchange with Datang for a few medicinal materials, cotton, medicinal materials, cloth, and rice grain.

wanted to change the amount of the transaction, but did not get the approval of Gai Jiayun, the envoy of the North Court Festival.

Gai Jiayun is a fierce general, very brave, and his general Gao Xianzhi is even more famous, and he is a famous rising star in the Western Regions.

Sulu did not want to have a bad relationship with such a person, and Du Xian was a scholar and a man of letters.

Scholars and literati are the most despised existence in Tuqishi.

Sulu instinctively looked down on the scholar and thought he was weak and could be bullied. Only then did he repair a book, avoid Gai Jiayun, and contact Du Xian.

Outcome!

Sulu was nakedly humiliated.

This literati temperament is together, that is, the emperor is also scolded, let alone a vassal khan?

"Incompetent bastard, dare to humiliate me like this?"

Sulu was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, and he almost tore the letter in his hand and swallowed it.

In an instant, the idea of sending troops came to mind, but this thought made me feel a little frightened.

Du Xian is a literati, he doesn't pay attention to it at all, let alone take it to heart.

Gai Jiayun and Gao Xianzhi in Beiting were a little worried, but they were not afraid.

The 20,000 soldiers under the command of Gai Jiayun and Gao Xianzhi are not enough for the army under his command to stuff their teeth.

What Sulu is really afraid of is Pei Min in Hexi and Longyou.

A few years ago, he went to pay tribute to all nations in person.

Passing through Longyou, he saw the strength of the Longyou army with his own eyes, and he saw it with his own eyes. Coupled with Pei Min's achievements in breaking Tibet in the south and annihilating the Turks in the north, it is impossible to underestimate.

Now Pei Min sits in Hexi and Longyou, holding an army of 140,000. Although it was far from the Turgish, he had to be cautious.

"Khan, what's there to be angry about."

Youye's somewhat arrogant voice came from behind Sulu.

Sulu listened to the voice, frowned, and said with a little unhappiness: "What does the woman know?" ”

Even if he didn't look at it, Sulu knew who it was.

The living treasure who just married is the princess of Jiaohe in the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as he thought of this Jiaohe princess, Sulu felt a pain in his head, and he only felt that he had married a bodhisattva, and he couldn't beat or scold.

If this princess of Jiaohe is a real golden branch and jade leaf, Sulu will recognize it.

Only less on the skin, delicate can drip water, hold it in your hand and care for it to be able to endure.

It's just the daughter of Ashina Huaidao, a Western Turk who is a serious child.

As the Khan of Turgish, the woman of the Western Turks, what do you want?

Go to a female Bodhisattva of the Western Turks, Sulu regretted that she almost vomited blood.

Princess Jiaohe snorted herself: "This palace is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and that Du Xian is the courtier of the Tang Dynasty." How dare he disobey the decree of this palace? ”

Sulu's eyes lit up, and he thought: "This fake princess is always in my sudden horse and posture princess, it is better to let her go to Du Xian to pose for music." If it doesn't work, let this girl know that no one will take her as a princess in their eyes. If it does, so much the better. It shows that this Bodhisattva still has a little bit to raise. ”

Thinking of this, Sulu smiled, turned around and leaned closer with a little flattery, and said, "Then everything will be tireless." ”

Sulu immediately arranged for his clansmen to select a thousand excellent horses and send them to the princess of Jiaohe.

Princess Jiaohe also arranged her own dental officer and went to Anxi with the decree of Princess Datang.

**********

The Governor's Mansion of Anzai!

The tooth official of the princess of Jiaohe is called Ashina Dou, who is the domestic slave of the princess of Jiaohe, and married to Tuqishi together.

Du Xian was working in the Governor's Mansion, and when he heard someone pass on the princess's decree, he panicked in his heart, and hurriedly planned to tidy up his clothes to accept the decree, and asked Ashina Dou to come in.

I plan to greet the princess's envoy with the gift of a minister.

Du Xian Na Dou walked into the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in high spirits, facing Du Xian, the first leader of Anxi, intending to read out the princess's decree.

When I started listening to the princess's fatwa, I thought it was strange.

This Western Regions is not Chang'an, how can there be any princess?

But when he saw Ashina Dou, a high-spirited fox and fake tiger, he was even more suspicious in his heart, and asked: "Dare to ask the messenger, I don't know which princess is your honor?" ”

Ashina Dou held his head high and said, "I am the princess of Jiaohe!" ”

"What!"

Du Xian thought that his ears were hearing badly, so he asked again: "Which princess?" ”

Ashina Dou said: "The princess of Jiaohe, who was personally crowned by His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire, is the ...... of Kedun of Tuqishi."

Du Xian was sure that he had not listened to the mission, and he instantly became furious, and shouted: "Ashina Huaidao's daughter, what qualifications do you have to read orders to me!" Someone, beat this dog-fighting guy with a cane for thirty and throw him into prison......"

Indignant, feeling humiliated, he gave another order to beat all the Turgish who came and throw them into prison.

**********

Summer goes and autumn comes.

Autumn in the northwest is the season of high autumn and horse fat.

In this festival most suitable for horse running and military training, Pei Min staged a hearty military exercise in Hexi and Longyou.

The Jiuqu Military Horse Farm in Longyou and the Shandan Military Horse Farm in Hexi are the two most important military horse farms in Datang.

The other Weinan Military Horse Farm, Shuofang Military Horse Farm, and Yanyun Military Horse Farm are not as good as Jiuqu Military Horse Farm and Shandan Military Horse Farm, both of which are under Pei Min's control.

The so-called near the water is the first to get the moon, and the Longyou Army and the Hexi Army are the sons of the imperial court, and their treatment is second only to the Central Forbidden Army.

In order to test the speed of the soldiers' attack, Pei Min ordered the Longyou cavalry to attack the Yumen Pass in Hexi, and ordered the Hexi cavalry to attack Guangen Town, which was on the right side of Long.

At the same time, he let the Liangzhou infantry cross the Badain Jaran Desert, and let the infantry of the Longyou Army climb the Qilian Snow Mountain.

One after another, military orders were issued under the condition that the Longyou Army and the Hexi Army were completely unprepared.

The soldiers who ascended to the land of Lianglong were like migrating birds, gathering from all over the place.

It moved in an orderly manner.

Pei Min'an sat in Liangzhou, receiving news from all over the country.

"Why did Chang Qing leave one day late?"

Pei Min looked at the first situation and frowned.

The transfer of this army is not only a test of the ability of the soldiers, but also the operation of the entire organization of Longyou and Hexi.

Just as delicate as a clock, as long as there is a mistake in one link, it may cause a delay and slow walking.

These circumstances are not visible to the naked eye, and will only be revealed when the time comes to the actual use of troops.

But when it comes time to use the troops, it will be too late to find out the problem.

One day, this time is not long, but it is not short.

But when it comes to the critical moment, even a quarter of an hour late can decide the outcome of the battle, let alone a whole day.

Pei Min is not afraid of problems, he is afraid that he doesn't know if there is a problem.

It's just that he didn't expect that the first problem to arise was Feng Changqing.

The little secretary Wang Wei took out a letter from the document and said: "This is sent by the governor of Fengdu, saying that Shazhou has not been at war for a long time. The officials in charge of the grain depot lent the grain trucks to build roads, resulting in the temporary shortage of grain and grass, thus delaying the time for the attack. ”

Pei Min said without hesitation: "Good intentions do bad things, and they are also bad things." Exercises are like actual combat, and it is impossible for us to control the enemy's track in advance every time. In the unlikely event that there is a real invasion of foreign enemies this time, a one-day delay may lead to the loss of the front line and the looting of the city. If so, who will bear it? The chief officer was dismissed, and the subordinates were each given one demerit and fined one month. ”

"Yes!" Wang Wei wrote it down carefully.

In addition to the problems with the delivery of grain in Shazhou, there are also more or less unknown situations in various places.

Pei Min rewarded or punished, and recorded these irresistible or careless problems one by one.

If you can change, you can change, and if you can't change, you will find a way to solve it, and eliminate the problem of force majeure.

Throughout the autumn, Pei Min was dealing with various unexpected problems caused by the chain of various departments of the large-scale military exercises in Hexi and Longyou.

If it is said that the Longyou and Hexi armies are the most powerful military forces in the Tang Dynasty and the most important war machines in the Tang Dynasty.

Pei Min just wants to lubricate this war machine, so that when the real war comes, it will run perfectly and quickly.

The weather is gradually entering winter.

The climate of the Great Northwest is like this, with long springs and winters and short summers and autumns.

As soon as spring passes, summer and autumn are fleeting, and winter is soon ready to come.

On this day, Pei Min taught Gongsun Xi's left-handed swordsmanship in the Governor's Mansion, and after nearly six months of recuperation.

The hand injuries of the two sisters, Gongsun You and Gongsun Xi, have improved significantly.

Gongsun You's arms are already able to move freely, but they can't exert their strength yet.

Gongsun Xi is in good condition, but he has not fully recovered.

"Childe, someone outside the house has submitted a message asking to see you!"

The arrival of the maid interrupted Pei Min.

Pei Min confessed, strode closer, and took the post.

There are a lot of rules for this worship post, especially for Pei Min's identity, not everyone can see it when they see each other.

Generally speaking, all the worship stewards will be put away, and then handed over to Pei Min, whether to see or not, when to meet, and make other arrangements.

But only a few of the posts were personally delivered to Pei Min at the first time.

Either the situation is urgent, or the identity of the other party is not ordinary.

Pei Min opened the prayer post, and when he saw that the person he wanted to see turned out to be Du Xian, the deputy capital of Anxi, he couldn't help but be worried, thinking: "It can't be that something happened to Anxi, right?" ”

The Western Regions are divided into Anxi and Beiting.

Beiting is an area completely controlled by the Tang Dynasty, while Anxi is co-ruled by the Tang Dynasty and other countries.

If there is a situation in the Western Regions, Anxi will bear the brunt.

"Quick, please Du Du to the living room!"

Pei Min didn't have time to change his clothes, so he walked quickly to the living room and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw a middle-aged scribe in filial piety clothes.

Du Xian respectfully bowed to Pei Min and said: "Du Xian, a grass man, has seen Pei Guogong, and has admired the name of Guogong for a long time, and I hate not seeing it." Passing by Guzang today, I want to taste my wish no matter what. ”

Pei Min heard him call himself a "grass people", and he also understood.

It must be because of the death of Du Xian's parents, Du Xian resigned and went to keep filial piety.

The ancients valued filial piety, no matter how old you are, as long as your parents die, you must resign and keep filial piety, otherwise it is unfilial.

This kind of system is also called Ding Wei.

Pei Min hadn't spoken yet.

Du Xian looked Pei Min up and down for a while, and said: "There is something in the grass people's family, and it is inconvenient to wait for a long time. ”
