Chapter 368: Tiele Breaks the Turks
Shendu, Luoyang.
In front of the empress's dragon case, there are five notes, three from Shanzhou, one from Hebei, and one from Shan Yu Duhufu.
Shangguan Wan'er had already finished reading all the notes, and then placed them on the dragon case in turn, and then went to the side to deal with the other notes.
The Empress's countenance, which was already a little old, was a moment of joy and laughter, a moment of sadness, and a moment of gloom and water, in short, it was very rich.
The song from Shanzhou was good news, and together with the prisoners of Linzhou, there were nearly 70,000 prisoners in total, and there were countless cattle, sheep and horses. It was a very gratifying thing, but after the empress was happy, she felt a little uncomfortable, and this discomfort was given to her by the king of Wei, because Wu Chu did not obey her will to negotiate peace with Tubo, but used peace as an excuse to break Tubo. She felt as if she had been used by King Wei, and this feeling of being used was very bad, and although it had been explained on the Wu Zheng Gong Form, she was still uncomfortable.
The three Shanzhou recitals, except for Wu Zheng's performance table, are all descriptions of the great destruction of Tibet, which made her understand the whole process. She sighed in her heart that Wu Chu was thoughtful, and it seemed that he already had countermeasures for both the Eastern Turks and the Khitan.
But in any case, the Tibetan issue was solved with the attitude of a victor, and the confidence of the Great Zhou Dynasty was restored a lot, and the empress's confidence was more sufficient.
It's just that Hebei was newly defeated, and Ashina Molu asked for the title of Khan, and even asked that Hexi and Shan Yu Duhufu be assigned to the Eastern Turks, which made her completely angry. But the 300,000 Turkic armor analyzed by Yang Zaisi, Yao Xuan, Wu Sansi and others made her lose her temper completely.
In order to vent her anger, she finally changed the name of Khitan Li Duzhong to Li Duan. Sun Wanrong changed to Sun Wanjia and sued the world, but people still live well.
Hebei's recital. It was Li Duanxuan who first captured Xu Qinlian, the deputy envoy of the Longshan Army, and then besieged the Andong Duhufu, Andong Duhu was Pei Xuanqi, and Xu Qinjian warned Pei Xuanqi to be killed on the spot by Li Duan. However, the walls of Andong Duhufu were thick, and the Khitan could not take them, so they immediately turned to attack other states and counties. Since then, the Andong Prefecture has been cut off from the Great Zhou land route.
The demands of the Eastern Turks were played by Shan Yu Duhufu, and now the Mura has a new demand. She felt only a surge of anger fill her chest. However, the Great Zhou had no troops to send, how could they resist the Turks. In order to exterminate the Khitan rebels?
In short, because the troops are not enough, since the government soldiers have already existed in name only, it is better to simply adopt the recruitment system of Wuqi. However, it needs to be carefully considered and the recruitment system is opened. It can easily be used as an excuse for major forces to recruit private soldiers. This is also an important reason why she has not agreed to Wu Zheng all along.
The next day, the empress decreed that "the world is a prisoner and a slave of the Shishu family, and the brave will be compensated by the official and sent to attack the Khitan." ā
At the same time, he ordered the prefectures near Hebei in Shandong to recruit soldiers and place the soldiers of the armed cavalry regiment, and took Wang Wu Youyi, the assassin of Jian'an in the same state, as the general of the right leopard Taowei, and named him the general of the Qingbian Road march to control the armies of Hebei and Shandong. The purpose was to allow Wu Yuyi to rule over the townspeople, prisoners, house slaves, and so on recruited by the states.
As soon as the order was issued, all parties reacted. Chen Ziang, the widow of Zuo, said that the Khitan was just a clown who jumped off the beam, and even if he didn't have to exterminate it, he would slowly destroy himself, not to mention that it would be undignified to use lowly people such as domestic slaves and prisoners as the imperial army.
After the empress watched the recital, she couldn't help but be a little angry, so she asked Chen Ziang to be the staff officer of Wuyouyi Mansion and let him serve as a military officer.
At the same time, the Turkic army of 200,000 invaded Liangzhou, besieged but did not attack, and waited for the reply of Empress Wu Zhou. But Mura would never wait any longer, as the messenger sent to deliver the message to Mura had mysteriously vanished.
Since the great destruction of Tibet, Wu Zhi ordered the army to rest and recuperate, and the time is undecided.
When the empress's book reached Shanzhou City, Wu Zong showed a sneer, and as night fell, a woman sneaked into Wu Chai's room and did not go out until it was dawn, and also brought Wu Zang's important orders.
Since the empress wants to play tricks, why doesn't he take advantage of this to turn his private soldiers into official soldiers? In Hebei and Henan, there are also many scholars of science, and it is easy for their private soldiers to turn into officers and soldiers.
A few days later, Ashina Mo couldn't wait for the news of Empress Wu Zhou, so he ordered the siege of the city, the Eastern Turk soldiers were all tribal warriors on horseback, how could they attack the city? However, since the establishment of the Eastern Turkic Khanate, the Eastern Turks plundered many Han people in the surrounding territories, who were not uneducated but greedy for life and afraid of the dead, such as Mo Du's military advisor Ashi De Yuanzhen, and a Han man, Mo Du called Li Lao.
Li Lao was not only knowledgeable, but also quite proficient in the art of war, and played a decisive role in the battle to annex Mobei Huifu, so he was deeply respected. But Li Lao likes women, whether it is a Han woman, a Turkic woman, or a Uighur woman.
It was also Li Lao's idea to blackmail Wu Zhou this time, and it also made Mo Du see Wu Zhou's weakness and the old woman's helplessness. In this way, he led his troops south and prepared to do a big job.
However, just a few days ago, when he arrived in Liangzhou, an army of about 50,000 Tiele set out mightily towards the Wude Mountain.
Fourteen years have passed since Ashina Gululu captured Heisha City in the first year of Yongchun and established the Eastern Turkic Later Khanate in the Wudeqi Mountains in Mobei, and the Turks have also developed and grown under the hard work of two generations of khans. Therefore, in the area of the Wude Mountain, the cattle and sheep, women, and children of the Eastern Turks are all in this area, especially after conquering the Hui Yi in Mobei, when they go out to plunder the surrounding territories, they rarely leave extra warriors to take care of their homes. A tribe of hundreds of thousands of people, guarded by less than 10,000 troops.
And the Tongluo and Servant Bone tribes don't know this, they just act on orders, and if they are captured, their tribes can only get a part of the materials, and as for the population, they must all escort the Jingshi.
Outside the city of Liangzhou, the camp tent of Molu is very large, it is a unique Mobei beibei yurt house, because it is large, so it often invites people close to it to drink and have fun.
This is still the case today, with four Han women dancing in tulle skirts in the center of the felt tent, and several half-hung musicians blowing breathlessly. On both sides were silent civil and military officials, and one of the half-hundred-year-old men writhed a fair-skinned Hui woman in his arms, this old man was none other than Na Li Lao, and that woman was also deeply loved by Li Lao, and almost became a special favorite.
At the top is a red-faced man, with a full beard that gives him a rough and brutal feeling, and in his arms is a petite Han woman, compared to Li Lao, Mo Du loves Han women, especially this petite figure, which makes him have a primitive impulse.
The rest of the generals had their favorite woman in their arms, so after hearing such a half-dead tune and seeing the soft dance, Mo Du became furious and shouted, "What are you guys? All to Ben Khan! For our Turkic dance. ā
The Han woman and the musician hurriedly withdrew from the felt tent.
In a moment, five Turkic women dressed in Hu clothes got into the felt tent, and the Turkic musicians also played drums, and suddenly, the enthusiastic dance of the Turks was revealed.
Mo was overjoyed, rubbed the woman in his arms fiercely, and shouted: "Come, drink this bowl with Ben Khan!" ā
The mare's milk in the bowl wafted through the felt tent, and the occasional woman's scream caused a wild and lewd laugh.
The black mountains of Oudeji Mountain have been imprinted with a touch of tall and magnificent mountain marks.
At the foot of the mountain, there are countless felt tents, and the herdsmen are driving the cattle and sheep into the pen before the sun goes down.
In the distance, occasionally a few warriors in armor galloped by, causing a cry from the shepherdess, and some ignorant children even chased after them until the horses disappeared from view.
"Grandma, Ula wants to be a warrior when she grows up!" A child made a vow.
"Well, good boy, you will become a warrior of the tribe, but before that, you still have to help Grandma drive the cattle and sheep into the pen." A kind mother touched the child's head.
It was at this time, on the distant horizon, when the setting sun cast its last rays, that a black line came slowly, then thickened, and finally, as night fell, countless cavalry came to the foot of Mount Oud.
This is the 50,000 warriors who are the same as Luo and the servants!
The leaders were none other than the heirs of the patriarchs of the two clans, as well as Tie Ying and Xue Ying, who stood on their horses, looking at the rows of tents, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. The two patriarch heirs were about to attack, but they were stopped by Tie Ying and Xue Ying.
Tie Ying said: "Big brother, if you attack like this, I'm afraid the harvest will be less than half, it's not as good as separating the Luo and Servant Bone clans and surrounding them from both sides, maybe you can capture them all." ā
Xue Ying also said: "If we can destroy the nest of the Hou Khanate, then we will have made a great contribution, and in the future, His Royal Highness will inherit the throne, and we will be the heroes." ā
Although the two patriarchal heirs were disdainful of their younger brother for submitting to the Han prince in this way, if they could make meritorious contributions, I believe that the clan would be happy for them. So they agreed to build yƬ, and then the two tribes separated and outflanked the tent.
The battle began after a stick of incense, and the warriors of the Eastern Turkic lair did not expect that anyone would dare to attack them. They were burned to death and poked to death in the yurt of their beloved girl, and they became ghosts under the knife before they even had time to put on their clothes.
The nest of the Eastern Turks is groaning, bleeding, burning, and ruining. Women and children were driven out, and the young tribal men became sacrifices to the Tiele tribe before they had time to perform the rite of passage.
Wu Zheng's request is that all men who are taller than the wheels will be killed! As for issuing such an order, it was also prepared for the Mongols hundreds of years later, this bloody ethnic group. And this will become an iron law for dealing with those who do not obey the indoctrination in the future.
When the red sun rose in the sky, the felt tents at the foot of the Oude Mountain were scattered, and the women were huddled together with their young children in their arms, they looked at the corpses all over the ground, and the blood stains that had seeped into the soil but had turned black, their eyes were confused, and they were completely numb, but fortunately, these women were dedicated to His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and the warriors of the two clans had already received advice, so after several incidents of obscenity, nothing happened.
There were still many Eastern Turkic tribes around the Ude Mountain, so after resting for half a day, the warriors of the two tribes continued to set off. (To be continued......)
