Chapter 457: Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate
"Congratulations to the Great Khan, congratulations to the Great Khan, after fifty years, this Juyanhai has finally come into the hands of my Great Turk again, with this Juyanhai in hand, my Turk has always regained its former majesty, which is all due to the Great Khan."
Outside the same city, a group of strangely dressed aliens looked at the wind-beaten city wall, and one of them with two-horned pigtails looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Awada did something wrong, to be able to recapture this Juyanhai, to say that the biggest credit, is not Ben Khan, but the queen mother of the Tang Dynasty, if the day Khan is still alive, let's not say to seize Juyanhai, I'm afraid I don't even dare to have the idea of rebelling against the Tang people, but unfortunately, the Central Plains is so big, there are many people, but it is really sad to be played by a woman between applause."
To be able to be here, it is also called the Great Khan, and in the entire northern frontier, I am afraid that there are only those who stand on their own, such as the Khan of Jieqi Lishi and Ashina.
Hearing Ashina's words, the alien who was called Apodan nodded and said, "What the Great Khan said is good, the Tang people are powerful, but unfortunately, they just like infighting too much, if they meet a wise monarch is good, if they meet a mediocre person, they are just a group of two-legged sheep." ”
Apodgan, an official name of the post-Turks, that is, generalissimo or the like, of course, there was no such official position in the previous Turks, but in the hands of Ashina Guduolu, this official position was created, and the person who held this official position was Ashid Yuanzhen, who became the first wise man of the post-Turks.
It can be said that Ashina Guduolu was able to start from scratch and lay a huge country, half of which is attributed to Ashid Yuanzhen, the two of them are like Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, therefore, in the post-Turkic, Ashde Yuanzhen's status is quite noble.
"Hahaha, hahaha......."
As soon as Ashide Yuanzhen's words came out, many aliens in front of the city gate instantly burst into laughter.
"Great Khan, now that this city has been re-placed into our hands, and if we control the same city, we will also control Juyanhai, and we can be regarded as having a foundation, and then I don't know when you plan to send troops north to conquer the Tiele people."
After some laughter and conversation, Ashide Yuanzhen opened his mouth to ask about business.
"Oh, why go north, instead of going south, you know, those Tiele people are a group of poor sour, what's the good of beating them, the Tang Dynasty in the south is really a good place, they are a state city, but they are richer than our entire khanate! Besides, the Tang people are no longer the Tang people they once were, when the Tian Khan was there, they were a group of hungry wolves, but now, they are just a group of bedbugs that are not even as good as sheep. ”
Before Ashina could answer, a stout man of different races like a grizzly bear roared.
This person's name is Ayanlu, who is born with divine power, and is a peerless fierce general under the command of Ashina Guduolu.
Hearing Ah Yanlu's words, both Ashina Gu Duolu and Ashde Yuanzhen just grinned and didn't take it seriously.
Although most of the people of the alien race are straightforward, it does not mean that they are all fools, on the contrary, many people of the alien race are still extremely smart, such as Ashina Guduolu and Ashid Yuanzhen, if they are both reckless men like Ashina who only know how to fight and kill, how can they establish a huge khanate in just a few years.
"Why, I'm wrong." Seeing the smiles on the faces of the two, Ah Yanlu asked with some confusion.
"You're right, the Tang people are indeed much richer than the Tiele people in the north, and they do not have the same powerful force as before, but we still can't attack the Tang Dynasty." Seeing the confusion on Ayanlu's face, Ashina Guduolu explained.
"That's why, didn't we attack the border of the Tang Dynasty every year before, they didn't even dare to go out of the city except to hide in the city, why can't they fight now."
"Hahaha, yes, we did have to go south to fight the grass valley every year, and we will still go south to fight the grass valley every year in the future, those Tang troops do only dare to hide in the city and dare not come out, but you remember, our ultimate goal is not to start a war with the Tang Dynasty, but to seize the necessities, as long as there is no civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, we will never try to go south to attack the Tang Dynasty, not only will there be no gain, but we will kill ourselves, at that time, we were like wild deer transferred into the quagmire, Slowly watching himself die in the quagmire, but there is nothing he can do. Ashina Gu Duolu said.
"My subordinates understood." Although there were still some doubts in his heart, Ayanlu knew that no matter whether it was right or wrong, there was nothing wrong with the Great Khan, as long as he acted according to the orders of the Great Khan, there would be absolutely no problem.
"Yuan Zhen, do you think it's possible for the Tang people to fight back?" Ashina Bone Duo Lu like Ashde Yuanzhen asked.
"It's impossible, losing Juyanhai, Datang is equivalent to losing the bridgehead of today's grassland, and if you want to attack the grassland, unless there is another Tian Khan and Li Jing, even if the Tang Dynasty has Tian Khan and Li Jing, it may not be able to enter the grassland, because the current grassland is not the chaotic grassland of the year, but a unified grassland, as long as we don't have civil strife, the Tang people will never want to enter the grassland." Ashide Yuanzhen said firmly.
"Okay, then gather the warriors of the various tribes and let them gather here in a month's time, and Ben Khan will lead his army north to completely pacify Tiele."
After saying this, Ashina Bone Dolu struck the horse's belly with a whip and led the way to the city.
.......................
"Xiaguan Duan Jian, see Deputy Capital Protector."
Looking at Xi Shoucheng, who had entered the twilight of his life in front of him, Duan Jian saluted respectfully.
Although in advance, Duan Jian did not expect that he would come to a place like the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate to take up a post, but since receiving the appointment, he sent Nighthawk to collect all the information of the entire Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and the various officials among them are the most important part of it.
Although Xi Shoucheng is the deputy protector of the capital, the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate has always been led by Li Dan, the prince, and now although Li Dan has ascended the throne as the emperor, because of the chaos of the court and politics, the imperial court has not appointed a new Anbei Metropolitan Protector, so at present, Xi Shoucheng is still the actual ruler of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, not to mention, he has been in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate for many years, not to mention that every call is echoed, and the connections are also intertwined, so Duan Jian wants to make a difference in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate and have a good relationship with Xi Shoucheng, which is indispensable.
"Hahaha, Duan Changshi, please get up quickly, for Duan Changshi, the old man has been famous for a long time, not only outstanding literary talent, but also has made many military exploits, it can be said that he is the leader of the younger generation, but unfortunately, the old man has been in the bitter cold land of northern Xinjiang, and he didn't have a chance to see it, but I didn't expect that today, he can actually work with Duan Changshi, which really makes the old man happy."
Looking at Duan Jian in front of him, who was confident but unassuming, arrogant but not domineering, Xi Shoucheng was still quite satisfied in his heart.
The reason why this is the case, in addition to the fact that Duan Jian has indeed done a lot of things over the years, the good relationship between Duan Jian and Jiangmen has also played a great role.
During the Tang Dynasty, there were many famous generals, from Li Jing during the founding of the country, Li Ji and a group of military gods, to Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, etc., all of which were greatly admired by future generations, but with Wu Zetian in power, the national policy gradually changed from external to internal, and the role of the generals gradually decreased, which also increased the sense of crisis between these generals, so, in order to control their own rights, these generals in addition to trying to highlight their role, gradually united.
This phenomenon has led to the fact that these generals are trying to exclude outsiders, and they protect their own people's shortcomings, so to speak, if you don't belong to the generals, then it is extremely difficult to integrate between them, but if there are some children between these generals, all the generals will try their best to help.
Therefore, after Duan Jian and the Xue family became good friends, the people who served the gate also regarded Duan Jian as their own in disguise.
"Du Hu is really too polite, speaking of which, you are also the elder of Xiaguan, before coming, Uncle Xue also asked Xiaguan to bring it for you, if you are so polite, Xiaguan will have no shame to go back to see his old man at that time." After seeing Xi Shoucheng's attitude, Duan Jian also laughed with a smile on the stick.
"Hey, that's not good, one yard is one yard, if that kid Xue Ne dares to trouble you, you tell Lao Yu, Lao Yu spanked him, when he was more than ten years old, he followed Xue Dashuai's side, Lao Yu didn't train him less, it seems that he hasn't seen him for many years, he forgot about it." Hearing Duan Jian's words of goodwill, Xi Shoucheng also said excitedly.
After a laughing conversation, the strangeness between the two of them at first sight was eliminated a lot, and at the same time, there was a little closeness in their hearts.
"Extraordinary virtuous nephew, have you ever ordered to come to the imperial court this time?" Xi Shoucheng asked.
Because Duan Jian asked to see Xi Shoucheng in a private capacity this time, there was no one else in the entire hall except for the two of them.
After thinking for a while, Duan Jian also said truthfully, "I am not satisfied with my uncle, this time, the imperial court did not have any orders, just ......."
"But there's something hard to say."
After hearing Duan Jian say that there was no order, Xi Shoucheng's face suddenly showed a gloomy look, but seeing Duan Jian's words that he wanted to say and stopped, he couldn't help but ask.
"It's not that it's unspeakable, it's just that the court still has a task for the little nephew to do this time, but the little nephew thinks about it, but he doesn't know how to deal with it."
Then, Duan Jian told him that Wu Zetian had sent him to investigate the Tiele tribes and at the same time wanted to marry the Uighur tribes.
As soon as Duan Jian finished speaking, he saw Xi Shoucheng's already extremely gloomy face, which became even more ugly.
"Touching ......"
"Hey, sad, it's a pity, when did I fall to the point of relying on a woman to stabilize the country, the princess of the Tang Dynasty, the golden branches and jade leaves, how can I marry those people of different races who are full of blood, it is simply ridiculous, where do I put tens of millions of hot-blooded men in the Tang Dynasty."
Xi Shoucheng, who was still dying just now, couldn't help but slam his fist on the desk after hearing Duan Jian's words, and roared coldly.
"Uncle, please calm your anger, the matter has not yet reached the point of no return, everything can be discussed, if you are angry, it will not be worth it."
Seeing Xi Shoucheng's actions, Duan Jian suddenly felt a sense of confidant in his heart, and at the same time admired Xi Shoucheng even more, after all, the thousands of years of inheritance in China not only did not gradually dissipate like other tribes or countries, but became stronger and stronger, relying not on benevolence and morality, but on this heroic spirit of preferring to die.
"What do you think about this?"
After Xi Shoucheng calmed down for a while, he suddenly opened his mouth to ask Duan Jian, and at the same time, his eyes were also shining with a different color, staring at Duan Jian deadly.
"If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and the only way to treat other races is to kill."
"Good, good."
A slap on Duan Jian's shoulder made Duan Jian feel as if a huge mountain had pressed down, not at all like the physical strength of the drooping old man in front of him.
"Well said, if there are a few more officials like you above the court, why will my Anbei Protectorate fall to this, but, it's not too late, Lao Yu originally thought that my Anbei Protectorate no longer has the power to return to the sky, the Turks are rising again, and the land in the northern frontier that I have occupied for decades by the Tang Dynasty is going to be lost and regained, and today you are here, Lao Yu has seen hope again, good, good, good, God has finally opened his eyes." Xi Shoucheng sighed.
"I listened to my uncle's words just now, but there is still room for redemption in this northern Xinjiang matter." Duan Jian asked with great excitement in his heart.
Although he has the memories of later generations, so that Duan Jian can make a difference in some things, such as Xu Jingye's rebellion, but in the face of the general trend, these predictions have no effect.
To explain it in Internet language, that is, in the face of the rolling giant wheel of history, everything can only be crushed into juice.
For example, in the matter of the rise of the post-Turks, Duan Jian is powerless, even if he knows how to change, unfortunately, with his current identity, he can't do anything.
Therefore, before coming to Northern Xinjiang, Duan Jian was thinking more about how to stabilize the situation in Northern Xinjiang, weaken the conditions for the rise or power of the Later Turks in disguise, and make him a powerful enemy of the Tang Dynasty in the next few decades, as he had originally developed.
However, after hearing Xi Shoucheng's words, his heart suddenly moved, and he had this idea that seemed to be whimsical.
"Hahaha, virtuous nephew, do you think that the old man has been in this Anbei capital for more than 20 years in vain, the affairs of the northern Xinjiang look chaotic, as if my Tang Dynasty withdrew from here, it is only a matter of time, but they don't know, this is just the surface, as long as the situation allows, in the blink of an eye, earth-shaking changes can occur, but unfortunately, this opportunity, the old man has waited for a long time, but he has not waited, and it has also made the affairs of the northern Xinjiang more and more complicated, if it is allowed to develop, I am afraid there is really nothing to be done."
Xi Shoucheng looked at Duan Jian and said firmly.
It's just that the helplessness and desolation revealed in the words make people sigh.
Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for support
