Section 579 Report to Luoyang
Immediately after a bang, a large number of Khitans emerged from the head of the city, mixed with many Tang people, and together they picked up the big bow and fired arrows at the Khitans inside and outside the city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
A large number of men also appeared in the city, and arrows were released at the same time.
Suddenly the screams were loud, and the poor Khitans, who had finally escaped, were breathing a sigh of relief, and the arrows that fell from the sky shot them one by one.
Li Quanzhong fortunately didn't enter the city, seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and immediately turned left and right after landing, walking in a zigzag, flexible like a leather ball, and none of the arrows on it hit him.
He was out of range of his bow and arrows, but he saw that the people next to the city wall were almost shooting the ground!
His brother-in-law, Sun Wanrong, didn't react so quickly, and even shot an arrow to death at the city gate!
Li Qianzhong almost vomited out a mouthful of blood!
At this time, a person appeared on the head of the city wall, wearing an official robe and a hood, and sneered at Li Qianzhong: "How does it taste!" ”
"Liu Pingfu, you bastard!" Li Qianzhong roared angrily.
Liu Pingfu of the Duhuo Department, half of his bloodline was Han, surrendered to the Tang people, and as the leading party, he went straight to the small northern city with the appearance of Khitans, entered the city first, and wiped out everything inside!
Li Quanzhong gritted his teeth on the ground, and Liu Pingfu also gritted his teeth, and the two hated each other equally.
This Liu Pingfu originally had two elder brothers, but he died unexplained, and it is said that he could not escape from Li Quanzhong, because Li Quanzhong was afraid of his brother's ability.
When Liu Pingfu became the chief of the tribe, he gave others a story about his impure blood every time he was at the tribal meeting, ridiculing his background, and Li Quanzhong not only did not reconcile, but added fuel to the fire.
Liu Pingfu was already angry, and the Tang army marched and called on him to surrender immediately anyway and become a pawn of the Tang army.
Li Qianzhong calmed down, sat on a horse offered by his subordinates, and wanted to leave.
"Where to go!" A group of people rushed out of the city, it was the general Qi Biming, the general of the Tang Dynasty Zuo Weiwei, whose father was the battlefield general Qi Bi He Li, who had been conquering the east and the west since the Taizong period and making countless meritorious contributions, and Tiele people were also deeply trusted by the imperial court.
Seeing the momentum of the other party, Li Qianzhong hit the horse and galloped wildly.
Helplessly, the Tang army recuperated, but the Khitans were exhausted and fell under the arrows of the Tang army!
Li Qianzhong couldn't escape, so he turned around and said: "You are also in the same vein as the Hu people, why are you too anxious for the Han people to say anything about each other, why can't you let me go?" ”
Qi Ming said hesitantly: "I'm a Tang person!" ”
stepped forward and sharpened the saber, and Li Qianzhong's head was gone... The treatment of the Khitan chieftains this time was to kill them all, so as not to let them go to Luoyang to sue the emperor, although Wei Xi was not afraid, it was also a trouble.
After killing Li Quanzhong, the Khitans who resisted in the establishment were suppressed, Liu Ping returned to obedience, changed his ancestors and recognized his ancestors, and the eight Khitans became a thing of the past.
……
"Please, please, General Yang!" In the palace, the people of Niusi led the way and took Yang Chengxian to see the queen mother.
"Thank you, thank you!" Yang Chengxian thanked him and looked at the two small temple people next to him who were carrying things for him.
The people of the Niu Temple are very diligent and enthusiastic, and they are by no means as cautious as others, and the people of the system of Gainwei Xi treat the temple people most politely, while the rest of the generals of the court have no one in their eyes, and the Wenchen disdains to associate with them, and also looks down on them. Only Wei Xi has a respectful attitude towards even lowly people, which he has been criticized, but many people praise him as "benevolent", and those who stand with him have taken the same steps.
They walked all the way to the deep palace, Wu Zetian lived in the Palace of Eternal Life, and he never moved his nest.
After the report, Yang Cheng dedicated to the hall, Wu Zetian was talking about Buddhist scriptures with a monk wearing a big red robe, this great monk was the White Horse Temple presided over the interpretation of the Fa Zhen, was summoned into the palace by two ends in three days, and was very favored.
In the past, the Tang Dynasty regarded itself as the descendant of the sage Lao Tzu, and Taoism was the first, but this year, after Wu Zetian came to the throne, he summoned monks more times, and the imperial court's support for the major monasteries continued to strengthen, in contrast, Taoism was neglected.
Clear-eyed people can see that Wu Zetian is about to elevate the status of Buddhism and suppress Taoism.
After Yang Chengxian bowed to Wu Zetian, he stood up flat, and explained the Fazhen beside him and recited Amitabha Buddha and said: "Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother will handle government affairs, and let Lao Wei retire!" ”
"No need, this is a happy event, it's good for the master to hear it!" Wu Zetian waved his hand.
"That old man is cheeky here." This kind of great monk is absolutely polite and authentic.
Wu Zetian looked at Yang Chengxian with a pleasant face and said, "You are Yang Chengxian." ”
"It's Your Majesty!" Yang Cheng bowed and said.
And Wu Zetian's people who are with Wei Xi often learn Wei Xi's attitude of not being humble or arrogant, and he is not in a hurry, and he is very generous.
"Say it!"
"Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, a thousand joys! Yang Cheng reported the good way.
"Our army has attacked the Khitan and has captured all its lands, and everywhere it goes, it is all surrendered!" Yang Chengxian said excitedly.
"Get all the land of the Song Desert Governor's Mansion, behead 250,000 people, take 180,000 prisoners, more than 570,000 livestock, and more than 70,000 people have become the new people of the Tang Dynasty!" This is the most important achievement, Yang Chengxian handed over the joint memo of Wei Xi and the main generals, as well as a specific war letter and a reward request for middle and low-level subordinates.
Wu Zetian took a look, she didn't doubt the authenticity of the report, Wei Xi has always done things safely, others reported a large number, and he even reported a small number.
He kills so many people that he wipes off the fractions like a man of great business, and does not count the lesser amounts.
Among them, there was a battle report, which was the defeat of the Yingzhou army and the loss of tens of thousands of divisions, Wei Xi pushed it all away, saying that it was not the soldiers he ordered, but the Yingzhou Sima himself.
Therefore, Wei Xi has never lost a battle!
Then the drama came, and Yang Cheng presented a performance: "We have seized the edict of the Turkic royal court granting Li Quanzhong the title of Turkic Ye Hu (official name), and Sun Wanrong is Qu Lusi. (Official Name)"
"There are also letters exchanged between Li Quanzhong and the Turks, and the Turks want them to send troops to attack our rear route while the Khitans are on our expedition."
"In addition, the golden approval arrows and silver wolf flags sent by the Turkic royal court all have Li Qianzhong's name!"
"There are also the rescued Tang people who have been reduced to slavery, a total of 5,841 people, and they have signed a letter to thank the court for regenerating them from rebirth!"
The evidence was presented to Wu Zetian's imperial case, and she looked at them one by one without moving.
The correspondence was in Chinese, and in neighboring territories, the Chinese language was commonly spoken, and it was stamped with the seal of the Turks.
Thanks to the Belt and Road Party, they captured the small northern city of Khitan and got all the evidence in their entirety.
Urgently summoned a senior member of the Ministry of Rites who has been handling Turkic affairs all the year round, and he said after reading it: "This is the golden arrow and silver wolf banner sent by the Turkic royal court, their production process is different from that of our Central Plains, there are unique features, we have not mastered their production technology, but there is no need to pay attention to their production process, after all, we make better and stronger." ”
Yuan Wailang showed the arrows and banners of the Turks brought from the warehouse and said: "Queen Mother, please see, the two have the same color and texture!" ”
It also shows the Turkic letters, which are all Turkic things in contrast to the newly obtained.
In other words, Wei Xi did not fake.
Yang Chengxian continued: "Besides, after our army captured the Khitan, we built three surrendered cities, and all the surrounding tribes are very welcome, and they all pay tribute!" ”
Then he presented the documents, and the big tribes included the Murwei people (northern Khitan) and the Xi people, and they paid tribute to horses, livestock, furs, ginseng, gold and other things, which were quite rich.
Before, the Tang Dynasty was very good to foreigners, and their tribute was only symbolic, but this time the foreigners lost a lot of money.
