After the Xiongnu Shan Yu captured Li Ling, they respected his courage and talent very much, married his daughter to him, made him the king of the right school, and gave him the land of the far north. The descendants of Li Ling and the people of the Far North under their rule gradually merged into a new tribe, which continues to this day as the Huangjiasi.

"Xiao Langjun, what do you think of Li Ling's surrender to the Huns?" When Wang Fei explained the origin of the Lotus to Ashina, Aitengana had been standing quietly behind and listening. After Wang Fei finished speaking, Ashina Xiaoyun was still immersed in the legend of Rusi, and Ayi Tenggena had already asked a very tricky question.

"With 5,000 infantry fighting 80,000 cavalry, the enemy killed and wounded far exceeded the losses, and the famous generals also! Running out of ammunition and food, having no help behind him, and being captured with exhaustion, it is not a crime of war! Treated by the enemy, abandoned by the mother country, still unwilling to wave troops south to the homeland, righteous soldiers! Rulery, with China in mind, inherit the civilization of the Han family in the far north, and be a hero! Trapped by fortune, how can the Huns damage their reputation? Wang Fei said with emotion!

When reading "Historical Records" in his previous life, Wang Fei admired Li Lingzhi's bravery very much and sympathized with his suffering, but also especially disgusted with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years.

After crossing over, Wang Fei found out after the Battle of Broken Leaves that there were still descendants of Li Ling in the Tang Dynasty, which surprised him very much. Therefore, after returning to Tingzhou, Wang Fei consulted a large number of historical books and consulted Du Huan many times, and finally figured out the ins and outs of Huangjiasi.

After figuring out the relationship between the Gansi people and Li Ling, Wang Fei suddenly remembered that he had read a post in his previous life saying that the Kyrgyz people were descendants of Li Ling. At that time, there was a lot of controversy on the Internet, and Wang Fei thought that the post was made up, so he laughed it off.

And after seeing the people with his own eyes, Wang Fei remembered the content of the post in his previous life, and realized that it was not groundless. It's just that in the long historical years, the bloodline of Li Ling's descendants has gradually been diluted, and the ancient legends have been lost in the cruel grassland battles......

"A brigade of cavalry was found five miles to the north! At the moment, they are encamping. The shouting of the Tang army scouts in Du Huan's military tent surprised Wang Fei.

"Brigade cavalry? Where did the brigade cavalry come from? Wang Fei hurriedly rushed back to the military tent.

"Could it be a Huifu?" Inside the wide tent, Du Huan was obviously much calmer than Wang Fei, and asked loudly.

"It should be! We looked at it from a distance, and from the costumes, it looked like a Hui people. The fire chief ordered me to report the situation first. The other brothers were still watching, and it was expected that there would be new news soon. The scout said breathlessly.

"You go down and rest for a while." After Du Huan sent the scout out out of the camp, he frowned and said to himself: "We have agreed to meet in the south of Gongyue City, since the Hui people have arrived, why don't you come over directly?" ”

"Report! Judge Du, Ye Hu, the prince of Hui, is about to come to meet Wang Duhu! It will be about a quarter of an hour to reach the main camp. Before Du Huan, who was meditating, could sit down, another scout galloped in and reported loudly.

When Du Huan heard this, he hurriedly rushed to Wang Zhengjian's big tent of the Chinese army. When Wang Fei heard that the Hui people were visiting, he was very curious, so he followed him in a hurry.

When Prince Ye Hu, who had curly hair and thick eyebrows, stepped into the big tent, Wang Fei hid behind Du Huan and looked seriously at this prince of Hui who had left a strong mark in Tang history.

I saw Ye Hu solemnly meet Wang Zhengjian, and respectfully presented the "thin gift" presented by the heroic Khan to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, fifty Hui horses, ten desert Beihu eagles and the corresponding eagle slaves, and a yellow fruit dismounted.

Wang Zhengjian flipped through the gift list and said with a smile: "Prince Ye Hu, the heroic Khan is willing to send troops to help our army, which is already the most valuable gift, so why bother with it?" ”

"You're welcome!" Ye Hu humbly replied in Chinese: "Hui is a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, and the Heavenly Khan has a call, which is the honor of the lower country, how dare you say what kind of gift it is?" The Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate is connected to the Huifu Mountains and Waters, and commerce and trade are continuous. Father Khan sent a small eagle horse, but it was just to show his respect for the Beiting Army, and he hoped that he would accept it. ”

Wang Zhengjian smiled, stroked his beautiful hair and said: "It is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and ask the prince to tell the Yingwu Khan that the Beiting Army remembers the Khan's love." ”

"In the future, I will definitely convey the will of Du Hu Mei to my father Khan!" Ye Hu thanked him, and then explained: "Wang Duhu, I heard that Ling Lang loves to ride and shoot, and this time he also went out with the army, and his father Khan specially selected a yellow fruit with a divine horse to dismount and give it to Xiao Langjun. ”

Wang Zheng's expression was slightly sluggish when he saw him, and then he smiled and said: "There is Lao Yingwu Khan's trouble, I don't know the name of the dog's stubbornness, but it has spread far to Mobei, I am really ashamed." Dare to ask the prince, when will the elite soldiers of Hui and Beiting join the soldiers and horses of Beiting? ”

"Before leading the army to go on the expedition, my father Khan had repeatedly instructed: The sons and daughters of the Hui family are loose and stubborn by nature, if they go with your army, they are afraid of delaying the trip, but it is not beautiful, so it is better for our army to cover the queen of the palace for your army. In this way, it will not delay your army's journey, but also allow our army to do a little bit of good. I don't know what to do? ”

"The Heroic Khan has a heart!" Wang Zhengjian nodded and praised: "Then please ask your army to be the queen of the Beiting Military Horse Palace." However, there is a military period for the expedition of the great army. In this western expedition, the Anxi Protectorate and our army have made an appointment, and all soldiers and horses must arrive in Broken Leaf City before May 15. I hope the prince will not delay. ”

Prince Ye Hu nodded again and again: "The military order is like a mountain, and you will not dare to delay!" ”

"Xiao Langjun, why did the Hui people move?" After Wang Zheng saw that after sending Prince Ye Hu out of the big tent, Du Huan smiled and took the school test.

"The relationship between Hui and the Tunis is not harmonious, and I don't want to go with the Tunis." Wang Fei thought about it and replied cautiously.

Du Huan nodded, looking at Wang Fei with a pair of bright eyes still smiling.

"Well...... Wang Fei muttered: "The Hui people have a prosperous and powerful country, and they are called the Tang Dynasty, but their national strength has surpassed the Turgish Khanate, far above the Shatuo, Qarlu and other tribes. Could it be that they wanted to show their superiority by marching independently? ”

"Hui Qizhi is not small, and he should be ashamed to be with Fan Xu, and he doesn't want to be confused with Shatuo, Huangjiasi and other departments." Du Huan affirmed Wang Fei's answer, but stared at him intently.

"Hui is located in the north of the desert, but its east has not yet crossed the line of Jinshan, let alone penetrated into the land in the river. Do you want to use the name of the queen to explore the geography of the river with all your might? Wang Fei tried to analyze it from a geopolitical perspective.

"What Xiao Langjun said is not unreasonable, the Hui people have replaced the Later Turkic Khanate, and they are basically dying of the land of the desert north. However, compared with the Turkic Khanate at its peak, its influence in the land of Moxi and the River was very weak. However, since the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty, the heroes of Mobei in all dynasties have coveted the west of the moraine. After the efforts of two generations of Huairen Khan and Yingwu Khan, after consolidating the rule of Mobei, the Khanate has begun to look west into the river. Du Huan nodded and praised: "Therefore, Xiao Langjun, we must strengthen the cooperation with Huang Jiasi, so that the Hui people are like a man, and they can't be used arbitrarily." ”

"Liulang saw the subtlety, and he was not happy with the thoughts of the Hui people." Wang Fei has not yet responded to Du Huan's analysis, but when he heard Wang Zhengjian, who was transferred back to the big tent, he said in a deep voice: "Fang Cai Liulang and Fei'er's analysis of the Hui army's reluctance to go with the army can be said to be in one sentence, and when a certain party saw that Prince Ye Hu refused to go with him and insisted on the queen of the palace, what he thought of was a Mobei ballad: Hui Hui uses soldiers, such as eagles and wolves, and eagles peck wolves and pounce, all from the rear. The Hui cavalry dragged behind, called the queen of the palace, but it always reminded people of hunting eagle wolves, which made people's backs chill! ”

"Duhu, the Hui people only sent 10,000 soldiers and horses, judging from the news from the scout camp, there are no other horses and horses ambushing around the army, I think the Hui people will not be stupid enough to attack our army." Du Huan frowned slightly, and replied cautiously.

"The genus of eagles and wolves, when they see bears and tigers, they avoid them, and when they see deer and sheep, they prey. At present, our army is strong and strong, and the walls are strong, so the Hui people naturally do not dare to ambush them. But if in the future, once our army is defeated or the strength of the army is weakened, how will the Hui people not rush from Mobei? Wang Zheng said grimly: "In the west of the moraine, Mobei can besiege the Central Plains, and the Central Plains can cut off Mobei's arm." The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to dig out the Western Regions, and the reason why Emperor Taizong repeatedly raised troops to advance westward, were all to suppress the Mobei forces. Now that Su Xiong looked at Mobei, although he respectfully obeyed orders, his heart of expansion was extremely hot, and he had to guard against it. Shuofang Jiedu made Zhang Qiqiu train the Hengsai army in the city of Kedun in Muthorn Mountain, and his intention is similar to our kindness to Huangjiasi. ”

After listening to the expositions of Du Huan and Wang Zhengjian, Wang Fei combined with the geopolitical analysis he had seen in his previous life, and had a deeper understanding of the strategic intentions of the Han and Tang dynasties to open up the Western Regions and the vertical and horizontal techniques that restrained the nomads.

The Tang Dynasty was more aggressive in the northwest than the Han Dynasty, and the entire Central Asian region was basically shrouded in the cultural radiation and military influence of the Tang Dynasty. Wang Fei believes that the tireless efforts of several emperors of the Tang Dynasty to expand the frontier are by no means a simple sentence of "good and great achievements" that can be generalized, and there must be corresponding political and military logic after that.

When he saw that Wang Zheng was talking about prosperity, he stepped forward and asked, "Father, what is the importance of the land in the river?" ”

"Fei'er, you see, Guanzhong and Heluo are my Tang henchmen." Wang Zhengjian glanced at Wang Fei with satisfaction, came to the map hanging in the big tent and pointed to the rivers and mountains: "As far as the northwest is concerned, Guanzhong is adjacent to Mobei in the north and Tubo in the south, and it may be threatened by it at any time. Therefore, in the north of Guanzhong, Shuofang Jiedu envoy was set up to control Mobei; In the west of Guanzhong, set up the right section of Longzhong to prevent Tibet; Between Shuofang and Longyou, set up Hexi Jiedu envoy to contact Shuofang and Longyou in the center, and cut off the connection between Mobei and Tubo. The three armies of Shuofang, Hexi, and Longyou can be described as the first line of defense in the northwest of Guanzhong. ”

Since Wang Fei crossed, he has paid special attention to the responsibilities and division of labor of Tianbao's ten knots. After listening to Wang Zhengjian's explanation, his heart was even brighter.

"There is the first line of defense, and there is no need to worry about the west in Guanzhong. However, Mobei and Tubo are thousands of miles east and west, and they can attack and impact this defense line from many places. Therefore, relying solely on the three armies of Shuofang, Hexi, and Longyou, they defended more and attacked less, and they were very passive. Wang Zhengjian kept pointing his finger westward on the map: "In order to replace defense with offense and reduce the pressure on the first line of defense, it is necessary to open up the west of the moraine." The two armies of Beiting and Anxi are the two fists that the Tang Dynasty swung westward, attacking Mobei in the north and Tubo in the south, making it impossible for them to join forces and act in embarrassment. With these two fists, the pressure on Shuofang, Hexi, and Longyou is much less. This is the second line of defense. Wang Zhengjian pointed out the country and told the story.
