Chapter 160 Watching the fire from the other side

"What Hushagar" Satuk's drunkenness suddenly woke up, jumped up, and shouted that the sound of killing had reached the vicinity, he put on his armor three or two times, and rushed out with a knife, and sure enough, he saw Hushagar rushing towards this side, and said angrily: "Hushagar, what are you doing?"

Satuk is very powerful, although Hushagar rebelled, but saw Satuk many mutinous generals were taken aback, Hushagar shouted: "He is already a dying tiger, and he is afraid of what he will do" The commanding soldiers rushed up, while shouting: "Great Khan, your wrong command has brought the powerful Uighurs into a path of no return, for the future of more than 100,000 Uighurs and hundreds of thousands of Tianfang soldiers and civilians, I advise you to give up the throne to Ilik, so that the new Great Khan can regroup and lead us out of life."

"Illic?" Satuk said angrily: "Do you think this is what you mean, or if Illik also has such rebellious ambitions"

Behind the crowd, Illikben flickered a little, and then Hushagar turned back and whispered: "Illik, you must stand up and cheer up" Illik stood up, and the soldiers who had already defected shouted and rushed towards Satuk.

Satuk has fewer people in this area, and he can't resist it, and a few rebels have rushed to Satuk's side, Satuk sneered, he himself is also a warrior in Huizhong, and when he was young, he often took the lead in battles, and several rebels didn't pay attention to it at all, and rushed over with a knife, but yesterday he was too drunk, and he was weak when the sword was chopping.

The rebels who rushed over were very frightened when they saw Satuk rushing over, and they were a little discouraged by his momentum, but they found that Satuk's knife was weak and weak, and shouted: "He is old, he has no strength"

Several people rushed over and slashed, and in a few strokes, Satuk was drenched in blood.

The soldiers were not particularly brave, and Satuk's personal guards rushed up to protect them, but they were all disappointed when they saw that Satuk had become so weak, and their morale plummeted, while the morale of the rebels was greatly boosted.

Fortunately, there were still a few loyal guards who fought to the death, so they escorted Hushagar to escape from the city gate, and rushed to Guishan Prefecture by detour, Hushagar was very painful along the way, and the soldiers who had just come were no different from ants in his eyes in the past, but now they can cut him, if it is not for the old guards, I am afraid that an old life will be sent there.

Blood stained his white hair and beard, he looked at the red and white face, and said in his heart: "Am I really old?" Am I really useless? ”

This mental torture is more painful than the pain.

However, on the way to Kushan Prefecture and Bisheng City, Hushagar's men were ambushed - he had already calculated that Satuk would have to flee to these two places, so he set up an ambush in advance.

The guards fought desperately and failed to rush over, so they had to protect Hushagar and walked towards the southeast mountains instead.

There were not many soldiers that Hushagar could mobilize to kill Satuq that night, so he could not mobilize a large army to pursue Satuq, and after Satuq left the city, Irik asked, "What can I do if my father Khan escapes?" His voice trembled, and he was obviously terrified.

Hushagar said: "I am not afraid of who advocates peace talks and who advocates fighting to the death in the city, I know very well in my heart." ”

At the moment, under the guise of Satuk, Irik summoned all the die-hards who supported Satuk, and the rebellion at the city gate was extremely limited, and the news had not yet come out, and all the generals and former ministers were ordered to come and fall into the present, and all of them were beheaded by Hushagar, and he followed the generals of the main peace faction, and discussed on the corpse of the die-hard minister, and said: "Now that the Tang army is powerful, and Bogra Khan is gone, but he refuses to make peace with the Tang army, do we want to follow him to hell?" At the moment, we should support the new Khan, and then go to negotiate with the Tang army, so that there will be a glimmer of life. ”

Some of the lords and factions gathered by Hushagar were the old ministers of Arslan, some of the old ministers of Saman, and of course some of the old ministers that Hushagar brought from Shule, and Satuq emptied Bukhara, and many of the old Samanid ministers came to Samarkand, because Satuq was afraid that they would cause trouble in the rear, but he thought that he had enough control to keep these people under his nose. At this time, Satuk was expelled, and the diehards were all beheaded by Hushagar, and these people did not want to follow Satuk to fight to the death, and they were eager to surrender quickly, so they all said: "I am willing to serve Prince Ilik as the new Khan and obey the orders of General Hushagar." ”

Hushagar was overjoyed, and immediately dispatched men to take over the military power of the whole city.

When the news of his rebellion finally spread, some of the old Talas rebelled and came to ask for their guilt, but they were broken by the encirclement arranged by Hushagar, and that night the city of Samarkand was full of smoke and screams, and I don't know how many soldiers died and how many soldiers and civilians were killed by mistake.

Seeing this, the spies of the Tang army hurriedly went back to report, Guo Luo said: "There must be a rebellion in Samarkand."

Several young generals jumped and asked, "Do you want to take the opportunity to attack the city?" ”

Zhang Mai groaned: "Don't worry. ”

Another day, a messenger came from Samarkand, saying that the Great Khan Satuk had died of illness, and now the new Khan Ilyik had been established in the city, hoping to make peace with the Tang army.

Zhang Mai smiled: "Is Satuk dead?" Where is his head? ”

The messenger said, "Naturally, the body of our Great Khan has been buried. ”

Zhang Maihaha laughed and said: "Illik is the second son, why don't you appoint the eldest son Musa and the second son Ileik?" ”

The messenger said, "Irik Khan is wise and powerful, and he is supported by Bogra Khan and the army and people of the whole city, so we support Irik Khan." ”

Zhang Mai smiled: "It's okay to make peace, but I only make peace with those who can call the shots." Now the situation in Samarkand is undecided, and when your situation is settled, come back to the Nami River, and I will receive you there. ”

After the envoy returned, Zhang Mai sighed to Guo Luo: "This must be a rebellion launched by Hushagar. It's a pity that Satuk is also a generation of heroes, and he didn't die on the battlefield, he didn't die in the hands of you and me, but he died in the rebellion. ”

Guo Luo said: "It's not surprising, the country is about to die, there will be demons, if he is in his heyday, with his relationship with Hushagar, Hushagar will definitely not rebel and dare not rebel, but now they are in chaos, something can happen." ”

He asked Zhang Mai again: "Marshal, will we drive a large army into the city?" ”

Zhang Mai said: "Hushagar made Ilik Khan, and Musa must not be convinced, and then there was another fight between the brothers. We have pacified Samarkand, and we have to deal with Moses again, and there are many old tribes that Satuk has brought with them since the time of Talas, and if it is very difficult for them to fight the trapped beasts, it is better to wait for their brothers to understand first. You ask Guo Wei to maintain the north line of Nami, as long as you occupy Mulu and Bukhara, these two brothers will be turtles in the urn and will not be able to escape. ”

After waiting for a few more days, news came from the south bank that Musa had indeed poured all the forces of Kushan and rushed to Samarkand to ask for the guilt, and that the two sides would fight in the city of Samarkand, and Hushagar was defeated in the presence of superior forces.

Hushagar led his troops to retreat into the city, and someone set fire to the city that night, and it turned out that the city of Samarkand was very large, and although the old troops loyal to Satuq were suppressed for a while, some of them were still hidden, and it was not until Mosa came that they raised an army to respond, they put down the soft ladder and took Mousa into the city, Hushagar led his troops to come, and the two sides started a street battle.

Musa's side has a group of brave elites, so they were able to defeat Hushagar outside the city, but Hushagar had a lot of old Samanid troops under him, fighting in Samarkand, so the two sides have their own strengths, tug-of-war conflict, no one can destroy anyone, and later they each occupied half of the city, Musa in the west, Ilik in the east, the two sides killed every day, and killed Samarkand like a mountain of corpses, blood flowed and pestle.

The battle in the city lasted for more than half a month, and both sides not only invested as many troops as they could, but also recruited men over the age of thirteen from Kushan Prefecture and Samarkand Prefecture into the army, and drove them to the battlefield, fighting day and night. The generals of the Tang Army in the north of Nami continued to ask for battle, and they all thought that if they led troops into the city at this time, Samarkand could decide with one blow, but Zhang Mai turned a deaf ear, and Hushagar sent envoys to "sue for peace" several times in a row, but Zhang Mai ignored it. Instead, Guo Luo reclaimed the more than 200,000 militiamen, people's husbands, and logistics soldiers who had arrived in the Nami River valley due to transportation, and opened up one farm after another.

As the time entered May, the weather became hotter, and Samarkand was already defeated and wounded, and although the battle outside the city was tragic, it was not as good as the internal strife between Musa and Ilik, and the deaths were more than every, and every night later, the cries in Samarkand would spread far away.

Musa was finally a little overwhelmed, his forces were small, but his foundation in Samarkand was not as good as that of Hushagar, and after the initial rush failed to destroy Hushagar, the ensuing war of attrition fell to the ground. On this day, remembering that there was still a force north of the Nami River, he hurriedly sent a letter to ask Shuibar to go south, and promised that after defeating Ilik, he would ask Shuibar to be the prime minister, and he would marry Shuibar's twelve-year-old daughter as his wife.

After receiving the letter, Shuibar laughed miserably: "The tiger and wolf are watching outside, and the brothers are still killing each other, don't they know that even if one of them wins, in the end, they will still become the meat in Zhang Maihu's mouth?" Alas, this is what the Han people say, is Zhang Mai destined for heaven? ”

Soon after he received this letter, He Chunshan entered the city again, and this time Shuibar did not wait for him to speak, and asked, "Does the marshal want to surrender, or does he want to attack the city?" ”

He Chunshan said: "Then it depends on the general's decision." ”

Shuibar was silent, silent, and finally said: "This is the general trend, I am willing to put down the rebellion in Samarkand for the marshal, but I hope that the marshal will agree to me a small condition." ”

He Chunshan said: "Please speak." ”

Shuibar said: "After several battles, I have already withered away, and I hope that the marshal will be kind to the remnants of my clan." ”

He Chunshan smiled: "Why do you need to plead for this? Our marshal has always been benevolent and righteous, and for those chieftains who have committed crimes, the marshal may have severely punished them, but for the common people, our marshal has always been open to all rivers, when have you seen our marshal abuse the people of all ethnic groups? ”

"I hope so," said Shuibar. ”

The next day he answered Moses's call and led his army across the river, and Hushagar was very frightened when he saw that Juibar had intervened, but Moses was overjoyed, and went out of the city to meet him, and called him his father-in-law at the foot of the city of Samarkand.

Shuibar said: "Father-in-law, but I don't dare to be, I have a word to persuade the eldest prince, I hope the eldest prince can listen to me." ”

At this time, Musa wanted to borrow the power of Ju Ibar, and said, "As long as it is the command of his father-in-law, Musa will obey it." ”

Shuyibal said: "Then end the war, go to the north shore with Ilik, and pay tribute to Marshal Zhang Mai, so that you may be able to retain some of the blood of my Hui clan."

Musa's face changed dramatically, and he pointed at Shuibr and shouted, "You...... You also betrayed"

"The general trend is the same, and I have to do it," and ordered him to be detained left and right, but because Mosa was too close, he could not escape.

Shuyibar immediately led his troops into the city and reported to Zhang Mai at the same time.

Guo Luo then led the army, and the army came to the city of Samarkand, and Shuibar escorted Musa out of the city to greet him, and Hushagar saw that the general situation was gone, and also led him out of the city and surrendered.

However, more than 2,000 remnants of the Hui army refused to surrender, captured the soldiers and horses, broke out of the encirclement, and went to the northwest, becoming Youkou.

On May 15 of the fifth year of Tiance, Zhang Mai crossed the Nami River, and the Golden Horde was moved to Samarkand.

Guo Wei inspected Hebei and ordered Yang Xin and Xu Congshi to ride out in all directions to kill the remnants who were still resisting, while Guo Luo was in Samarkand to clean up the mess inside and outside the city.

After this series of wars, the population loss in the Hezhong region was very severe, and the forces of the Heavenly Fang Sect were also severely traumatized, especially the adult men of all ethnic groups, to the point that every household had cries, and the orphans and widows everywhere were sad.

Zhang Mai was very sad and said to Guo Luo: "We ended this big war, and we should have hurried back to the east, but in such a situation, how can we go back?" But you have to stay here, clean up the mess, and regain the vitality of this place. ”

Guo Luo said: "Minister, take the order"

This is the first time he has called himself a minister, Zhang Mai said: "The affairs in the east are getting more and more urgent, I only bring 20,000 elites back, and the rest of the soldiers, people, and militia 300,000 people, all left, their families in the rear, wait for a year or two, they can also move to the river." There are many orphans and widows here, and although their fathers and husbands died because of Satuq, we also have a certain responsibility, so we have to raise each orphan well. ”

Therefore, it was ordered that all widows and widows who had lost their husbands in the Hanzhong area should be given to their husbands, and that all the soldiers and generals should also raise at least one orphan, and if they were able, they could marry more than one wife and concubine, but they should be treated well, and they could also raise many orphans, but they should be treated as their own, so that the more than 800,000 orphans and widows in the Hanzhong area had something to rely on and formed a new family with the soldiers who remained. This is the old realm of Bōs, and the women produced are so beautiful that many Tang soldiers are also very happy to marry one or two more wives and concubines. Even Yang Xin and Xu Congshi married the two princesses of Nesser II under the auspices of Zhang Mai and became brothers-in-law.

Fortunately, after this turmoil, many plastered lands in the river area have been vacated and become borderless land, the Tang people who stayed behind are good at farming and reclamation, occupying the best pastures and farms, under the hard work, they can barely support their families in the first year, and then people from the east continue to move, and after the Tang people gradually adapt to this land, after several years of hard work, life is also on track.

After Guo Luo occupied Samarkand, he changed its name to Kangju, and many merchants from Ningyuan and Shule also moved here, and commerce in this area gradually recovered.

While the Hanzhong region was gradually calming down, the war in the Central Plains was becoming more and more intense
