9. Plan to calm the harm
Gyeongju, south of Guanfu, southwest of Jingyuan two states, north of Ling, salt, east of Sui, Xia, mountains and rivers are dangerous, the people are fierce, the Han Dynasty is the northern county, in this isolation of the Huns, more than a good family, meritorious service for the Han army of the most. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was frequently infiltrated and invaded by Qiangrong, but in the end, the Tang and Song dynasties were all border defense places, and the Tang Dynasty took Qing and Ning as important towns, and the Song Dynasty also set up Huanqing Road as an important place.
During the Kaiyuan period, the Fangchi Prefecture Governor's Office was set up in Gyeongju, which was located in Huai'an County, mainly to house the party items that had moved inward, and to search for the "fugitive households" (household accounts that evaded taxation).
In order to facilitate the management of the internal relocation of the party items, the Tang government set up Jing, Huang, Wang, Pu, Lin, Yin, Wei, Chang, Bao, and Ning in Fangchi Prefecture in Gyeongju alone to set up ten small states (there are other regions), in fact, each small state is equivalent to a party clan, the small one is two or three thousand, the big one is more than 10,000, in Gyeongju and the Han people who migrated to get along with each other, and then the years have been long, the local Han people have gradually mixed, and the unchanged is still the fierce and plundering folk customs, they will not only attack each other, but also plunder the trade routes, kill the past.
That Ming Huaiyi's sister Qingfanluo moved from Gyeongju to Yuanzhou, and the one who robbed and killed the horses bought by his sister Qingfanluo was the "Xuanzhou pheasant clan".
The pheasant was entrenched in Dachangwon, Gyeongju, until Pengyuan in the north of Ningzhou, and it was the oppression of the pheasant clan that the Meiqing clan had to move to Linjing and Zhenyuan in the north of Jingzhou, and was later pacified and incorporated by Gao Yue.
"Reward, reward! (Blood revenge)" Ming Huaiyi couldn't hold back, holding his neck with both hands, and roared with his eyes up, "Gather all the people in the whole clan who can hold weapons, and pay for the competition!" ”
Soon, the whole quail Yaoyuan sister Qingfan fell torches all over the place, the war horses neighed, the camp of men and women all roared angrily, thinking that they had been humiliated, killing sheep and setting up wine, ready to drink the whole clan up and down, then went north to Dachangyuan, and the pheasant tribe decided life and death, and the winner was decided.
The pavilion barrier that monitored the quail Yaoyuan quickly sent You Yi to ride a fast horse, and rushed to the foot of Baili City in an hour to report the news to the public party.
When the straight official felt that the situation was serious, he beat the drum and startled Gao Yue in the back building to sit up from the couch, and Zhihui, who was sleeping on the side, hurriedly took out the clothes, silk seals, seven things and silverfish charms, and tidied up for her husband.
When Gao Yue walked out of the courtyard, Liu De's room also ran out in a hurry.
"What, the pheasant Qiang of Dachangwon in the south of Gyeongju robbed my sister Qingfan and bought a hundred horses for me, and also shot and wounded Ming Huaiyi's younger brother, killed seven sisters and lightmen, and kidnapped three camel and horse merchants?" Gao Yue, who was sitting urgently, received the report, was shocked and angry at the same time, and couldn't help adding, "They think that I, the envoy of the Emperor, am a wooden statue and clay puppet in the temple?" I'm going to have to give them some magic right away. ”
"Yi Song can't be abrupt, Dachangyuan returned to Gyeongju Thorn Shi Du to join politics, Peng principle returned to Li Huaiguang, the envoy of the Ningjie degree, we go to find trouble with the pheasant clan, and we will be impeached for 'crossing the border and provoking'." Liu Demuro hurriedly persuaded.
"The whole clan of Ming Huaiyi is now close to the city of Yuanzhou, and he is sued by His Majesty Wupinlang, that is my Tang people, and the horse he bought is also my Tang's national horse, the pheasant clan robbed the national horse, attacked and killed the athletes, and kidnapped the pack horse merchants, what questions do you have about this crime?" Gao Yue immediately made a decision, and said to Liu Demuro the danger of connivance: "First, is there any guarantee for the trade route from Gyeongju to Lingzhou in the future? Second, in the future, will the businessmen of Shuofang, Hedong, and Hequ still dare to come to my Jingzhou mutual market? Third, my duties and prestige as an envoy to the Tibetan army and a horse envoy are still gone? ”
Liu Demuro sighed, and then asked, according to Yi Song's opinion, what should be done.
"If such minor evils are not eliminated, there will be no peace in the future for all the Dongsan party tribes in Gyeongju." After Gao Yue finished speaking, he thought for a while, and then said to Liu Demur: "I'll go to my sister Qingfanluo first, and warn Brother Ming Huaiyi not to act rashly." You quickly drafted two pleadings and quickly sent them to Du Congzheng in Gyeongju and Li Huaiguang in Suining, and said that this is so and so - the pheasant clan is entrenched in Dachangyuan and Pengyuan, and we are not easy to do it, so let them enter the territory of Jingzhou and then do it. Prepare a letter and send it to Qu Shuai of the pheasant clan. ”
After speaking, Gao Yue shouted to prepare the horse, Wei Daotian ran out of the house next to the public house, and led the horse from the stable, and then Gao Yue turned over and got on the horse, and Wei and the three county officials and eight Youyi also rode horses to follow, and went east to the quail field.
"Gao Shiyu, my Mimi Gao Yisong!" When Gao Yue rushed to the hundred-son tent where Quail Yao's original sister was lightly dropped, as soon as Ming Huaiyi saw him, he fell down and bowed, held Gao Yue's hands, howled and cried, and gritted his teeth.
"Mimi" is "a warrior who regards death as home" in the party's language, and Ming Huaiyi called Gao Yue so, of course, hoping to help him go to the "reward game" to take revenge.
The family members of the seven sisters who were killed also gathered around Gao Yue, weeping endlessly, and the daggers they took out crackled on the sheep bones and armor pieces, and the names of the enemy "pheasant clan" were engraved vertically and horizontally.
"Revenge, it must be avenged, but from now on, all of you sisters have to listen to me, and you can't act rashly." Gao Yue replied in a deep voice.
Ming Huaiyi was stunned, then he looked around, and said to Gao Yue, "Isn't it to submit to your Tang family, and even the remuneration competition will be restrained?" ”
Gao Yue comforted him and said, "I will mobilize troops, grain and grass, and war horses to help you wait for the competition, and you will have to go through several procedures, so it is not too late to wait until things are done properly." I didn't tell you before, I was only a seven-rank in the Gongfu in Yuanzhou. ”
"That is to say, I want to ask Mr. Liu Demuro of the eighth grade?" Ming Huaiyi asked eagerly.
Gao Yue nodded.
"As long as I am allowed to wait for the competition, Liu will be the gentleman of the whole sister light clan from now on!" Ming Huai shouted as he beat his broad chest with his big fist.
"It's not just the eight-grade Liu De room." Gao Yue added.
"Is that still going to be recognized by the Nine Rank Masters and Tian Khan in Chang'an City?"
Gao Yue nodded again, and then he deceived Ming Huaiyi and said (in fact, Gao Yue was not ready to hand over this matter to Nanya or Zichen Hall for decision): "There will be good news within ten days, in these ten days, you are ready to fight and kill, and you must not fight an unprepared battle, everything is done according to my orders, can you do it?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ming Huaiyi was impassioned and immediately agreed with a group of handsome people.
Two days later, Du Congzheng of Gyeongju City and Li Huaiguang of Changwu City both received letters from Gao Yue.
"Gao Yuechen said that the pheasant Qiang, who was nomadic in Pengyuan (Dachangyuan), robbed the horses he bought in Shizhou? Haha, why is the pleadings transferred to me, and they can't be accepted - this group of party members and Xiaofan are all living in the water and grass, Mobei this year, Shannan next year, how can I manage it? Li Huaiguang and Du Congzheng took a "non-acceptable" attitude towards Gao Yue's pleadings without exception.
"Gao Shiyu's meaning, he wants to appease the pheasant clan and prevent it from cutting off the trade route and robbing pedestrians, so he hopes to let the pheasant clan also attach to the Liangyuan area where Yuanzhou is located." Li Huaiguang's judge, Gao Ying, asked.
