After the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks in the early Tang Dynasty, a total of three surrendered cities were built on the line of Yinshan Mountain, with more than 7,000 troops and horses stationed in each place, the Anshi Rebellion broke out in the 14th year of Tianbao, and the troops of the three surrendered cities all retreated southward, after which the Tang Dynasty was no longer able to return to the army, and the three surrendered cities were gradually controlled by the Hui people, and became the bridgehead and supply base for the Hui people to go south.

On the fourth day of the third month of the sixteenth year of Qingzhi, a team of about several hundred people left Lingwu County, crossed the Yellow River, and marched north along the Henan Mountain.

After a few days of walking, the green gradually disappeared, and began to enter the desert area, except for the vast snow and brightness, there was nothing to be found, not even a wrinkle could be found, and here, even a dead leaf or a black spot would make people excited.

After walking for a few more days, the shadow of a huge mountain finally appeared in the distance, that is, the Yinshan Mountain Range, which meant that they were about to enter the control area of the Uighurs.

"About 100 miles ahead is the city of the West Surrender, I don't know how sure Zhang Envoy Jun is this time?"

Speaking is the deputy envoy Zhu Xicai, he is about fifty years old, ugly appearance, extremely strong, he was the Youzhou Governor Li Huaixian under the capable general, and then with Li Huaixian to the Tang Dynasty, soon Hui cavalry defeated the three towns of Hebei, Zhu Xicai also led 20,000 remnants of the army to flee to Shandong, defected to Cui Yuan, who was recruiting troops at the time, Cui Yuan cherished his talent, and married his sister to him, Zhu Xicai gradually became Cui Yuan's henchman, he has been leading the army in Shandong, this time and Cui Qinggong were transferred to each other, reappointed as the general of Jin Wuwei, and controlled nearly 100,000 troops in the capital, this time the envoy returned to Hui, and Cui Yuan ordered him to be the deputy envoy.

And the envoy is Zhang Yansheng, the secretary of Honglu Temple, but he belongs to the faction of Pei Jun, the left minister, is a jinshi in the second year of Qingzhi, very shrewd and capable, the civil officials of the Tang Dynasty are different from the two Song Dynasty, they can also lead troops to fight, and the attitude towards the military attache is not as contemptuous as the civil officials of the Song Dynasty, which is especially obvious in Zhang Yanxian, he pointed out the country with Zhu Xicai along the way, and told the cultural scenery everywhere in popular and humorous language, although the two factions are different, but they get along very well.

Zhang Yanxiang saw Zhu Xicai asking himself, and couldn't help but stroke his long beard and smiled: "We took the initiative to ask for a boycott of the army, giving Chief Hu enough face, now seeing that the spring flood is imminent, Hu Bing can't cross south, since he is the respect of a country, how can he not understand the stakes in this, so the key is in interests, as long as we find a balance that is acceptable to both parties, it is logical to withdraw the army with dignity." ”

Zhu Xicai smiled, "Zhang Yuanjun has been talking endlessly along the way, and it seems that he has become accustomed to talking, and when he sees Denli, he will make Jun say that Chief Hu is on top, which is enough for us to go home." ”

Zhang Yansheng laughed, he whipped the horse violently, rushed out dozens of steps, and chanted loudly: "But if you make Longcheng Feijiang, don't call Huma to cross Yin Mountain." ”

Zhu Xicai looked at his back, but a meaningful smile appeared in his eyes.

．．．．．．．．

Located in the Yin Mountain, this is a strategic defensive castle built by the Tang Dynasty to defend against the Hu people, and it is precisely because of the existence of this series of fortresses that the Tang Dynasty did not repair the Great Wall.

It's a pity that the country is gradually declining, and the tall and strong fortress finally made a wedding dress for the Hu people.

Since the invasion of the Hui to the south in December last year, the Hui army has never withdrawn in the true sense of the word, and after the military rations were burned, they only retreated from the north bank of the Yellow River to the city of Xishou, ready to look for an opportunity to go south at any time.

Denli Khan was not very old, not yet fifty years old, he was extremely ordinary-looking, with a scumbag beard and a short and fat body, the kind that quickly disappeared when he walked in the crowd.

Since the rise of the Hui Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, Dengli Khan took advantage of the Tang Dynasty's Anshi Rebellion and the Battle of Talas after the opportunity to eat and look eastward, and continued to expand to the south and west, defeating the Tubo in Anxi to monopolize Anxi and Beiting, and continued to conquer Gelulu and Huanggas to the west, and took all the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu into the bag, becoming another great empire after the Turks, and Dengli Khan was the supreme one who single-handedly established this huge empire.

At this moment, he is bored and half lying on the soft couch looking at the two dancing women stunned, since the end of last year, he did not take advantage of anything, but eroded 10,000 elite soldiers, due to the abnormal climate caused by the Yellow River is not frozen, he wants to raid Longyou's plan failed, although in January the Yellow River froze, but the deployment of the Tang Dynasty's troops has been completed, and then there is no point in invading southward, after a few snowstorms, the drought on the grassland has been calmed, and by March, the grass has grown new tender, and the famine of Huifu has been alleviated.

But the question is, how did he explain to the Hui nobles, and where did he put his face? He suddenly felt a wave of distraction, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the two women to retreat.

At this moment, a general Hu Lu hurriedly walked in, knelt down and saluted: "Qiyu Khan, the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty have arrived, and now they have arrived outside the city, please ask the Khan if you want to let them into the city?" ”

"It's finally here!" Denli sneered, since the Tang people want to end this conflict through negotiation, then it's okay, let them come up with a price that they are satisfied with!

Thinking of this, he raised his head and said proudly: "It's getting late, take them to see my military appearance first, and then bring me tomorrow!" ”

．．．．．．．

As the night fell, the mountain wind was strong, mixed with fine gravel and swooped down on the city to the west, and the doors of the soldiers and civilians in the city were closed, and there was not a single pedestrian to be seen in the street, only the soldiers patrolling the city with huge shields and looking back and forth.

In the post house where the Tang envoys were resting, Zhu Xicai had already changed into black clothes, he carefully took out a letter, looked at the cover carefully, and put it away again.

"Father, let me go!" He is the eldest son of Zhu Xicai, about thirty years old, and his father looks as burly, but his appearance is not as ugly as that, on the contrary, his eyes are slender, his gaze is as sharp as an eagle, his nose is long and pointed, and he has a bit of a heroic appearance.

"Since the stakes are very high, how can Dengli not keep his father as a hostage, if there is a slight accident, his father's life is worried, it is better to let the child go."

Zhu Xicai patted his son's shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiangguo has his own deep meaning in acting, otherwise how could he send General Jin Wuwei to do this, there are some details that I can't tell you, you will naturally know in the future." ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Xicai's expression gradually became serious, he stared at his son's eyes and said: "If I have any three strengths and two weaknesses, you and Tao'er must remember that you can't lose military power no matter what, Cui Qinggong is a fool, it's best for you to follow him, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Zhu Jun nodded solemnly, indicating that he remembered his father's words.

Zhu Xicai walked quickly to the door, looked to both sides to see that there was no one, and flashed out of the door, he moved quickly, ran along the base of the wall, and then passed through an alley, and soon came to a large mansion.

"Who? Hold it! "The soldiers at the door found him,

Zhu Xicai immediately took out a small scimitar and threw it over, "Please tell you General Meilu, just say that the old man is visiting!" ”

The soldier picked up the knife and went into the house, and soon a sturdy Hui general walked out quickly, he looked left and right, and asked loudly, "Where is the other?" ”

"General, I'm here." Zhu Xicai walked out of the night, arched his hand to him and smiled: "Don't come to the general, the demeanor is still the same after fifteen years!" ”

"Sure enough, it's you!" Mei Lu didn't have the enthusiasm that the old man should have, and he didn't have the intention of welcoming Zhu Xicai into the mansion to talk about it, he raised the knife in his hand and said coldly: "Fifteen years ago, you let me go, I promised to do one thing for you, you can say it now!" ”

The smile on Zhu Xicai's face gradually disappeared, and when he saw that there was no one left and right, he lowered his voice and said, "I want you to take me to see your Khan, I have something important to look for him." ”

"This ....."

Mei Lu hesitated, and when he saw Zhu Xicai's serious expression, he nodded and said, "Okay!" But first, tell me a rough idea, what is going on? ”
