"What about Pingqiang?" Gao Gu hurriedly asked.

Gao Yue laughed and said, now that Shatuo and Tuyuhun ten thousand tents are attached, it can really be said to be a great joy, not only has the strength of the Tang Dynasty doubled, but the strength of the border areas of Xibo has declined, and I can also know the inside story of Xifan, know myself and the enemy, and then I can worry about the future when I exterminate the party.

Then Gao Yue entrusted the military affairs to Gao Gu and Wu Xianfu, and asked several Marquis Yu of the Herald Division to take the lead in flying horses to Shimen Fort in Yuanzhou, and let Ma Youlin let Zhu Xie Chixin and Murong Junchao enter the country.

In the Daming Palace, the emperor was also overjoyed when he got the report, and Jia Tanhexi, who asked the right person next to him, said: "The return of these two clans really shows the revival of my Tang Dynasty and the re-monarchy of all nations!" ”

The Emperor, of course, was glad to hear such words.

But Dou Shen said that the envoys of the Tang Dynasty in the West had to get the edict of His Majesty before they could enter the country, and now Shatuo and Tugu are not less than ten thousand accounts, and there is a large army of the West Fan behind them, and they said that they were sincere to attach, but the truth is not known, Gao Yue did not get the holy decree, so he put it in without authorization, such as the plan of China and the West, so the country's border defense can be in danger.

"Qing is right to be cautious, but I know it, Gao Yue has already secretly contacted Shatuo and Tuyuhun, just as Wei Gao did to Nanzhao, Dongban and Xishan Eight Kingdoms, and he tried every possible way to ask them to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, it can be said that today's result is the crystallization of Gao Yue's hard work." The emperor's eyebrows fluttered when he said it, and he completely ignored Li Yu's dying admonition.

Then the emperor ordered the Hanlin Academy to draft an edict, and Zhu Xie of Shatuo did not care about his past sins, and sealed the king of the moon, the founder of Zhangye County, and the general of the right dragon Wu, and the honorific title of the khan could be used internally, and the clansmen were placed in Xingqin Prefecture, and fields and pastures were granted; And Murong Junchao was crowned the king of Qinghai, the founder of Heyuan County, and the general of Zuo Jinwu, and he still used the title of Khan internally, and the clansmen were placed in the land of Yanzhou.

When the emperor's edict began to go on the road, the gate of Shimenbao City, which had been ordered by Gao Yue, was wide open, and in a cheer, Shatuo and Tuyuhun's clansmen lined up in a long line, and from this mountain pass entered the territory of the Tang family, Yuanzhou.

This fashion Qixin came with more cavalry, but he could only look at the long smoke rising from the beacon of Shimen Fort and sigh.

In the military office of Guyuan City, Gao Yue had not yet come, but a special guest arrived one day earlier to welcome Zhu Xie Chixin and Murong Junchao.

To their surprise, this person was a Xifan man named Lang Xixi.

Lang Xixi told them very frankly, "I was originally a cage official in Shanzhou, and I was later captured by Gao Qihou, and now I am also serving in the Tang family. ”

Zhu Xie Chixin and Murong Junchao immediately understood, and asked Lang Xixi in the Tibetan language, how are you doing in the Tang family?

Lang Xixi was quite complacent, he pointed to his own Ruisha scarlet clothes, said that the emperor gave me ochre red clothes, and then pointed to the gold and silver jewelry on the belt, said that this is Gao Jieshuai rewarded me, and said that Gao Jieshuai put his heart into me, gave me thirty horses, every year just selling horses can make a profit of thousands of dollars, now I have a pavilion in Xingyuan Mansion, just wait for the Tang family to recover Shanzhou, I can make my identity public, and bring my family to reunite.

The chieftains of Shatuo and Tuyuhun around were all envious, and Bo Gu swallowed his saliva and asked Lang Xixi, then can you eat fresh fish now? Since he was entertained by Gao Yue once in Fengxiang Mansion, he has never forgotten it.

Lang Xi laughed, saying that Xingyuan is good, Fengxiang is good, not only there are many cattle and sheep, mulberry and hemp are everywhere, and the fish is not worth much, if you want to eat, you can eat it at any time.

"But you're like this, you don't want to go back to the land of Xifan?" Several chiefs were skeptical of Langxi's attitude.

Lang Xixi said resolutely, that kind of cold place, we have never seen the world of flowers before, so we were deceived by Zampu to loot everywhere like horse bandits, and now that we have seen the splendid civilization of the Tang family, who rarely goes back to the local area? Immediately, I changed my clothes and Han name, and after three generations, I could completely become a Tang person, who would want to go back to Xifan to gnaw barley noodles, "This Middle Earth, even the air is sweet." Speaking of which, Lang Xixi's facial features all came together sweetly and heartily, making a smiling expression.

"Yes, yes." The chiefs of Shatuo or Tuyuhun highly agreed with Lang Xixi's view.

Everyone came here desperately, not just hoping to live a better life, no longer grazing cattle and horses in the wind-blown sand grassland.

It didn't take long for Gao Yue to arrive, holding the hands of Zhu Xie Chixin and Murong Junchao affectionately and trustingly, walking among them, and then bringing them the canonization of the emperor.

Not only did both of them have knighthoods, Zhu Xie Zhiyi was directly awarded the imperial history by the emperor, and Murong Junchao's son Murong Fu (uh, there is indeed a chief named this Tuyuhun) was awarded the rank of Zhaowu Lieutenant.

"This Tang family's way of controlling people, I can see it, to sum it up, early naturalization is better than late naturalization, late naturalization is better than no naturalization, and it is better to kill the Tang people and naturalize after naturalization." At this time, Ming Huaiyi, who was watching the canonization ceremony on the side, complained to the two younger brothers in a low voice, you see that Zhu Xie Chixin is a character who has killed the envoys of the Tang family, and now after he comes, he actually directly seals the prince of the founding county, and also makes a virgin moon king, how majestic it is! It's a pity that I can't be a county prince until now, my father is an official residence, and his title is a founding county marquis.

Ming Huaiyi only cared about talking nonsense, so frightened that the two younger brothers hurriedly stepped on his feet and told him to shut up.

Gao Yue spoke highly of Zhu Xie Chixin and Murong Junchao's feat of surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, and said that the military deployment of Xifan was completely disrupted by the two, which was the great fortune of our Emperor Tang.

But in private, Gao Yue was very nervous:

Damn Xifan, did you actually try to take advantage of my pacification of Pingxia and the party of the Six Prefectures, and to despicably attack the Anxi Court?

"We can't just hope for the defense of the Anxi Court itself, we have to help this group of lonely loyalists so that they can continue to hold on in the desperate oasis of the Western Regions." Gao Yue thought so, and quickly informed the emperor of Daming Palace of this news, hoping that the emperor would pay attention to this matter.

In addition, without further ado, it is time to get serious about the party.

In the palace fort of Shanzhou, when he heard the news of Zhu Xie Chixin and Murong Junchao's defection, Chisong Dezan's face turned pale with anger, and for a long time he threw the teacup on the ground and smashed it, and the slaves around him hurriedly bowed down and confessed their crimes.

The bad effects of these two defections are very large:

First of all, the troops besieging Shazhou and even Anbei lost a considerable part of it before the war began;

The host originally suffered heavy losses in the battle of Huating, and now it has taken away 20,000 households, and the number of troops that can be used is less than 20,000, most of which are immigrants from the Subi tribe, in short, the host can only defend itself now, and cannot send troops to Shazhou;

The Tang family is now obsessed with our goals and measures, and Dafan will then be passive in military and diplomatic terms.

Zampu's anger did not subside, and Queen Cai Bang directly entered the meeting, and tried her best to slander that this was a mistake by Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying, if they were not eager to attack Anxi Ting, there would not have been such a big loss.

But soon Shang Jiezan also saw it, slandering that this was caused by the host's negligence in supervising and managing the two ministries on Shang Qixin'er's weekdays, and now that they had escaped, Shang Qixin'er had to bear the main responsibility.

"Ben Yongzhong, regard Shatuo Chuyue as a real ally, and Achai (Tuyuhun) is equivalent to a Shanglian-like existence, but they shamelessly rebelled against Ben Yongzhong, and wiped out the clansmen who left Shatuo Chuyue in Liangzhou and Achai in Qinghai Lake!" Tri Song Detsen did not have the gentleness and calmness of his usual life, he lost his reason and showed his true face hysterically.
