In the blink of an eye, July is approaching.

Even outside the fortress, the weather was getting hot, and the white light and wisps of water vapor on the reckless and vast prairie made the sun's blazing light squeeze out from the ground and steam into the sky. Li Wei returned to Shuozhou again.

Open each newspaper.

There are some doubts in my mind, in my memory, the East Turks, that is, the post-Turkic era in the mouth of historians, are very good. []

Why did it lose so badly?

There will be defeat, and there will be defeat, but in Li Wei's prediction, there will be many bloody battles, and the time of defeat is also expected to be later.

There was some error in his thinking. In the post-Turkic era, it was not terrible at the time of the bone record, but it was the silent era that was terrible. In terms of the comparison of strength, in the Wu Zhou era, the famous generals almost killed Wu Zetian, and in order to maintain the safety of the regime, the people were mainly pro-oriented, so the generals selected were mediocre. At that time, Guo Yuanzhen and Tang Xiuluo stood out, but they had to guard against the Western Regions and Tibet, and had no energy to guard against the Eastern Turks.

At this time, he brought almost all the elites of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the warriors from the west of Qinghai who had experienced all the battles. It is the soldiers of the various ethnic groups in the river and the Western Regions, the combat effectiveness is not strong, but it is not that the individual is not strong, the main parts are scattered, and there is no capable general to guide them. In fact, the individual combat effectiveness is still very strong, and it is more suitable for fighting in this and the vast desert steppe.

The Eastern Turks did not really become stronger, as they did later, and first annexed the Tiele tribes in the north and east. If the Eastern Turks in history have grown into a towering tree ten years later, then the Turks are just a small seedling at this moment, with a large population, and there is no huge economic support under the pressure of Pei Xingjian's two beatings in the past few years...... Psychologically, there is still some cowardice, and it has not even had time to develop various industries, including those that make weapons.

It was almost a period when the Tang Dynasty was relatively strong and the Turks were relatively weak, and there was a huge contrast.

The mistake of combat technique, thinking that Li Wei was dead, led almost the entire army, and wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty...... By the way, Daozhen was captured and all the Turks were united. Leave the rear empty.

The wealth that Li Wei brought from Khorasan, Sindh, and Tehran was constantly rewarded and boosted morale. There is a stark contrast.

So the sudden crushing people were defeated miserably. But in terms of scale, it also became the largest battle in the history of the Tang Dynasty. A total of more than 400,000 horses were dispatched, and even in the later period, Nuo Gebo turned against Tuyuhun and Xia Yan and other state officials, and successively increased 50,000 or 60,000 horses to enter Fengzhou and Heisha...... The total strength of the army almost reached nearly half a million troops. This is in the history of the founding of the Tang Dynasty...... Nor has it ever been.

In June, it became the harvest season, and a large number of captured livestock and slaves were taken from Shuozhou, all the way to Fengzhou, to Lingzhou, Juyanhai, Jinshan, and even to the north.

Li Wei gave an order...... That's basically the end of it.

Originally, by the way, some of the Tiele Department was taken down. Even for screening, stamps are stamped on the face and silk is tied on the sleeve. However, the situation has developed to this point, and Li Wei can't help but worry that he will let the Hui people dominate in the north.

Here comes the balance.

This is a must-have skill for emperors. But it's also time to go back.

Mother asked Zhou Xing to interrogate Pei Yan, but I don't know what means were used, Pei Yan confessed...... It was he who bewitched the emperor and his mother. and teamed up with Guo Zhengyi and Guo Zhiju. I probably knew that Wei Xuantong and Ben Changqian had a good relationship with him, so he didn't move. The mother beheaded the three of them...... The family was exiled to Lingnan.

Next, Zhou Xing was tortured, but he did not come to Junchen, nor did he invite Jun into the urn, but only tortured him in the way of Zhou Ju torture people. made Zhou Xing confess and also bewitched Wu Zetian, and used torture to make the suspect confess and ask for guilt, causing many unjust cases.

So he cut Zhou Xing again.

Anyway, the mourning family is at fault, but the mourning family is a female generation and short-sighted, and this group of ministers is not good, so there is a mistake.

Then he issued an edict to blame himself, Wu Chenghei was unpredictable, and he was demoted to the history of Tangzhou.

A meat drama came, not only to protect the handsome, but also to lose the car, but also to lose the gun, the horse, and the pawn. Then he returned to the regime, but he did not come back, and handed over all the power to a few prime ministers. I have admitted my mistakes, beheaded some bad ministers, made room for you to come back, what can you do to me if I am still your mother.

Some ordinary people also think so. Wu Zetian doesn't deal with government affairs, once it is peaceful, let's know anyway. But the ability of several prime ministers to hand over government affairs to them can be imagined.

The country is almost in chaos, in fact, there are still ways, such as sending the music from all over the country to the north, but under the pressure of Wu Zetian, the officials did not dare to propose. Li Wei even wondered if his mother did this deliberately, take a look, what would it be like without the mourning family? Otherwise, there really is no way? As long as one person is appointed, the decree will be unimpeded immediately. Qiu Renjie!

Maybe not as good as Wu Zetian, maybe better than Wu Zetian, but definitely better than the current situation.

Therefore, he was forced to go back.

Ashina Daozhen called him and said one thing to him: "Lian is about to return to Beijing." ”

"Your Majesty, I want to go back to the capital. The country is paramount. ”

"Well, Lian asks you, what do you think of Lian's approach in the north?"

"Your Majesty, the minister is also a descendant of the Tang Dynasty, please rest assured." The simple words can still be heard, and the emperor is afraid that he will not be satisfied with the Turkic approach. Therefore, to say that I am a descendant of the Tang Dynasty is not to refer to his father Ashina Sheer, but to his mother, Princess Nanyang.

"If only you could think like that, the job will entrust you with an important task."

"Snort, please command."

"The United Coalition's methods this time were a bit tyrannical, but they were forced to rebel many times, which made the United lose patience. But the Prairie Union didn't want it to become a desert. Think of you leading the Turkic tribes loyal to the imperial court to move from Shuofang and other places to the steppe. And the union will grant you the position of protector of the capital, the king of Dule. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare", Dao Zhen bowed down, and said honestly.

The king of Dule is the king who participates in the king with Dule, which is equivalent to a prince.

The title of Tang Dynasty, the royal brothers and princes were all crowned princes. The son of the crown prince, he is the king of the county. The son of the prince, the heir is the heir, the sons are the princes of the county, and those who have great merit are crowned the kings of the county.

There is no one who rewards meritorious heroes more than the national prince.

Only four or five Turkic khans, such as Jili and Chuluo, received this title. It is also a rare king with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty so far.

King Dule did not refer to the country, but it is equivalent to referring to the country, the Turkic country!

So Ashina Dao was really scared.

It's still very clear what kind of identity he is and what abilities he has.

"The union knows that the reward is too heavy, but your identity is not heavy, and the ministries are not satisfied. Giving you the title of King Dule not only gives you the right to manage the ministries, but also appeases people's hearts. Otherwise, the ministers loyal to our Tang Dynasty will be very uneasy when they see the measures of the Union, and it may lead to bad things happening. At the same time, you will move your troops to the north, which is a difficult task, and you will not be able to accept it. In addition, the Union will also implement the policy of the previous Tang Dynasty, and in case of a disaster year, the state will continue to provide some relief to the ministries. The Federation will guide you in some policies, such as setting up a large customs market, conducting transactions, and stockpiling some food and supplies in case of unforeseen years. Of course, you also have to implement some policies in the north to the Federation, so that the people can learn the language and script of the Central Plains, and strengthen their affinity with the Central Plains. In the future, the Union will send special personnel to cultivate some cold-tolerant food, and you will also guide the people to cultivate and cultivate in Dule Water and Yulun. In terms of lifestyle, it is close to the people of the Central Plains. Otherwise, there will always be centrifugal forces for different cultures, different lifestyles. Rebellion and rebellion are not good for them, not good for the Central Plains. ”

This time the attack was very fierce, and the number of Turkic people shrank by almost two-thirds. If they are moved to the north of Yinshan Mountain, and some preferential policies are not given, the people will be dissatisfied, although they will be awarded the title of King of Daozhen Dule.

After the Yin Mountain, the area is vast, and a large number of vacuum areas have been moved, which is enough to stuff many people, and the Turkic people have not changed their living habits outside the pass for many years, and they can adapt to it. But the most feared thing is a fierce year, a big cold, most of the livestock will freeze to death, restricting the reproduction of the people in the north. Hui Chun and other troops have never been the opponents of the Turks, and the reason is that they cannot keep up with the number of workers, and the Turks have recovered quickly by taking advantage of the advantage of the south of Yinshan. Therefore, the Tiele tribes have always lived under the influence of the Turks.

The Khitan people are strong because they live in the north of Youzhou. If the south of Yinshan and Youzhou to Yingzhou are vacated, it will be of great significance.

"But Nanhetao, Yunshuo ......"

"The Federation will be calculated."

"Whoa."

The two also discussed the matters that need to be paid attention to when relocating.

This is very important, if the people are disgusted, they may even kill Daozhen and rebel again. Then, he summoned the chiefs of various tribes and held consultations, and also gave a lot of preferential policies, such as squeezing out some manors and fields for them to collect money, and then rewarding some officials and lords, and vacating some mansions in Chang'an, if you are tired of staying in the desert, you can go back to Chang'an to enjoy. Carry out co-optation, let these leaders become the link between the desert and the Central Plains, and cooperate with the work of Daozhen.

Only then did the edict be issued, and the army retreated from the desert and from Yinshan one after another.

Li Wei also led more than 100,000 troops to return to Yanmen Pass, but he was repatriated home one after another, and when he arrived in Luoyang, there were only more than 60,000 troops left. In addition to the tens of thousands of troops brought out of Luoyang, there were also 20,000 soldiers brought from Qinghai.

After crossing the Yellow River, after traveling not far, you can see Luoyang City.

Looking at the Luoyang city wall, which became clearer and clearer on the horizon, Li Wei was full of emotion, after more than ten years of tossing, at this moment, a hanging stone fell to the ground.

There is emotion, expectation, and strangeness in my heart.

Getting closer and closer, the army drove by, raising a cloud of dust......
