Chapter 100: The Charm of the Spirit
After the Liao and Song, the first large-scale civil strife since the founding of the Western Xia gradually unfolded.
Since the collapse of the Tang Dynasty, one dynasty after another has continued to rise and fall, and the only test of whether it can avoid a flash in the pan is whether it can stabilize internally, because most of these dynasties since the end of the Tang Dynasty have died in civil strife.
In this regard, the Song State is undoubtedly the best, Zhao Kuangyin decisively released the military power, relieved those who were not yet the founding of the country was a party to the military power, fundamentally ensured the stability of the Song regime, if it were not for the recent Zhao Guangmei attempted rebellion case, the Song State ten years, there has never been a royal nobles or the commander of the army to rebel, in fact, there will be no future, in this regard, the Song State is more successful than any empire in the 4,000-year history of the Chinese land.
And the Liao State did very poorly in this regard, the Liao State was more than 50 years earlier than the Song State, because there were many tribal chieftains who held military power and great independent power, and most of the descendants of the royal family also had their own tribes, so civil strife was frequent, and several successive emperors either died on the battlefield or died under the butcher's knife of their own people, and now it is the turn of the West, whether this emerging kingdom can withstand this test, even the Song and Liao countries have paid unprecedented attention.
Ganzhou rebelled and elected Agul as Khan, and her cousin Mina Muya served as a special agent and Meru. The secret service is the prince, and Meru is the head of the royal family, commanding the palace guards composed of the guards of the Aguli family, which can be described as a high power. Aguli's cousin is also said to have royal blood, tracing back to her roots, and her ancestors are Fengcheng Khan and Princess Xian'an of the Tang Dynasty.
Princess Xian'an is the eighth daughter of Tang Dezong Li Shizhi, when the Tang Dynasty declined, the need to return to the kingdom to contain the Turks, so she married to the Hui longevity of the Khan, the known longevity of the Khan a year later, so he married his son Loyal Khan, Loyal Khan was poisoned three months later, the princess married his son Fengcheng Khan, five years later Fengcheng Khan died of illness, the prime minister called Khan, Princess Xian'an changed her husband again.
Princess Xian'an married two surnames, four husbands, and three generations of grandchildren, so the genealogy is relatively chaotic, and it is not easy to check if you want to, especially the Hui tribe who do not pay much attention to the inheritance and protection of cultural materials. However, Sulman doesn't care too much about this, even if Aguli just wants to find a cronie to be installed from the beginning, he doesn't care, although Hu Laowen died, he lost his restraints, his ambition further breeded, and he was no longer satisfied with revenge, but he was not sure to eat Aguli's tribe, as long as Aguli could support and obey his decision, he would be very satisfied.
Now, Sulman has crossed the line to serve as the vice-king of Yehu, who has always been reserved for the children and clans of the Khan, and concurrently serves as the prime minister and Apo (commander of the army), and most of the officials such as Yan Hongda, Dagan, Qi Jin, and Tutun are also his sons, nephews and cronies, and they can be said to cover the sky in Ganzhou.
With great power in his hands and high spirits, Suerman immediately waved his troops eastward and took Liangzhou directly. After a year of recuperation, Ganzhou has somewhat recovered some vitality, coupled with the excavation of the treasure of Blackwater City, it has exerted a tenfold effect under the hype, and there are indeed some small tribes nearby to join "So the momentum is even better." Luorong Demba, the prefect of Liangzhou, saw that Suerman was fierce and did not dare to go out of the city to fight, so he and his brother Tashi Dorjee held Guzang City tightly, neither surrendering nor fighting.
Sulman fought for a while without effect, Zhang Pu returned to have been transferred to Suzhou Mu Ci, so he divided his troops to attack, Mu Ci, is Yang Hao's direct cronies, although the troops in his hands are small, but all jīng Rui, and Mu En, who was stationed at Yumen Pass, also allocated Min Qian jīng soldiers to reinforce him, Mu Li, waved his troops eastward, Aguli was worried that Ganzhou would be lost, so he transferred back the army of his own clan that accompanied Surman to the east to strengthen the defense of Ganzhou.
Fortunately, Mu Kui has limited troops, and he is responsible for suppressing Suzhou, he is also worried about entangled in the war in Ganzhou, and Suzhou will catch fire in the backyard again, so he does not dare to go all out, and the two sides have fought a few battles, but Aguli has a better chance of winning. Seeing that Aguli was enough to resist the threat from the Western Front, and that Luorong Demba had been a turtle with a shrunken head, he did not dare to fight at all, so he let go of the taboo and bypassed Liangzhou and went straight to Shatuo.
After Zhang Pu rushed back to Xingzhou, he suggested to Yang Hao to adopt a policy of appeasement, return the Weiwu tribe to the sons and nephews of Tuoba Han Chan's brothers, appease the Tuoba tribes, and then transfer his troops and horses to the west to meet Surman.
Due to the instability of the Tuoba tribes, Yang Hao needs to stay in Xingzhou to keep a large number of descendants of troops in Xingzhou to be safe, this internal friction seriously restrains his strength, so there are not many Shatuo defenders, and Zhang Pu was defeated in the battle with the seed, the mood is very low, and the preparation is very slack, Sulman couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the news, let go of his courage and went straight to Shatuo, Zhang Pu, who was originally brave and good at fighting, was really invincible, he blindly defended the city, Shatuo's terrain was not a long-term place, after resisting for half a month, Shatuo was forced to give up, Zhang Pu retreated to the defense and urgently asked for reinforcements from Xingzhou.
Yang Hao's army, which had always been invincible on the ground in Hexi, finally suffered a defeat, and the news reached Xingzhou, the city was shaken, and the people's hearts were panicked, only a group of people were ecstatic, that is, a group of Tuoba nobles led by Tuoba Wu and Tuoba Qingyun.
Tuoba Qingyun's home is full of excitement at the moment, and all the Tuoba clan leaders are gathered here. At this time, it was late autumn, the wind was bleak, the sand was all over the sky, and the trees were withering, but the courtyard of Tuoba Qingyun's family was in full swing.
"What's the matter, without our Tuoba clan, the king has become a toothless tiger, the invincible army that crisscrossed the west of the river at the beginning, even if he saw it at night, he had to flee from the wind, but now, even one of his women can't resist it, hehe! The king must regret it now.
A Tuoba clan leader had a plate of fat hand-grabbed mutton in front of him, and he didn't know how to wipe it, so he said triumphantly with his big mouth stained with oil.
Another big man in an expensive gray squirrel skin robe drank a bowl of wine, slammed it on the table, and said: "Yes, my tribe is now not contributing money, work, or effort, in short, if the king does not let this step, I Batu Ergu will not recognize him as the lord of my Tuoba clan, hmph, this country is his, if he is not in a hurry, I am not in a hurry who will suffer in the future."
Tuoba Wu sat cross-legged and looked at the excited crowd, and snorted coldly: "Everyone, you seem to be very satisfied with the current situation?" ”
A leader glared and said, "What, aren't you satisfied?" The king doesn't treat our brother as his own family, so we still have to be born and die for him? Can the king have today, but without the help of our brothers? Now that the Western Xia has been established, what benefits have we gained? On the day the two Tuoba Han Chan brothers were killed, we were just watching there, and we couldn't even let go of a fart!
The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and suddenly picked up the big bowl and slammed it on the ground, shattering a wine bowl: "The king is so majestic and evil!" Today's killing is Tuopi Han Cicada, and tomorrow's killing may be you, me, and him!"
"That's it, that's it!
"Alas, although the king is the righteous son of Lord Guangcen, he is not a member of our Tuoba family, you see how many of those individuals who are reused by the king are our Tuoba clan? At the beginning, it was different, it was difficult to go to Wuzhou, that was surnamed Tuoba, and now Xixia Yuan, what is the surname? ”
"At the beginning? Mention what in the first place. If Yang Hao occupied Xiazhou at the beginning, we could drum
Get the courage to send troops to drive it away, and now it is Lord Li Guangrui who is sitting in the Dragon Court, Li
Seeing that the adults treat us, we are a hundred times stronger than today's kings.
"Pull it down, you don't want to think about what kind of soldiers and horses the king had in his hands at the beginning, the Mo sword formation, the heavy armored cavalry, have you seen it? It's up to us, hey!
"Hugh the ambition of others, extinguish their own prestige, as the saying goes, ants bite elephants to death, not to mention that at that time he could only get his hands on such two people, the Mo knife array and heavy armor soldiers are inconvenient to move, and they do not fight for a long time, they can only be taken out at a critical moment to be scary, can they control the battle equipment?
"Shhhh
It's bad in the ears, and I've heard that the feathers are very powerful in the wind.
Tuoba Wu sneered: "No matter how powerful it is, how many people can it have?" You have to find out where something happened, but you don't have a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, you can see everything in the world, otherwise, you wouldn't have made a mess in Ganzhou to this step, and he didn't know anything in advance.
"Ladies and gentlemen!
He raised his hands, slapped three palms with a "snap", raised his voice and said, "Everyone. . . Be quiet and listen to what my Tuoba Wu has to say.
The noise in the courtyard gradually calmed down, and finally there was silence, and countless pairs of eyes were fixed on Tuoba Wubei.
"Ladies and gentlemen, when the rì court meeting, let's admonish in person, the king did not accept advice, but used Li Jitan, Li Tianlun, Tuoba Cangmu and those unseeded scum to entangle with us, and the opportunity to fight for the rights of the two brothers Tuoba Han Chan and also for ourselves was lost!
"The second time, the old man came forward and led more than 100 leaders of the Tuoba clan to intercede, at that time the chaos in Ganzhou had been born, I thought that the king would take the opportunity to step down and give us a face, what was the result? The result...... He used the heads of the two brothers to slap us in the bloody face!
The more Tuoba Wu spoke, the angrier he became, and his voice became louder, and his roaring voice was in the entire hall: "The king doesn't treat us as his own family at all, haven't you seen it clearly?" Now that Sulman has occupied Shatuo, the king's soldiers and horses are retreating, but has the king ever surrendered to us because of this? Don't forget, Shazhou, Guazhou, Suzhou, and Muenmuci, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Lingzhou to the north, "all the way down is a heavy army, just with a Suerman, it is difficult to kill in, if Suerman returns in vain, or even defeated by the king, wouldn't it prove that the king can eat as well as we leave?" At that time, I am afraid that the king will be even more unscrupulous, and we will become fish and meat in the hands of the king, and our means of resisting the king today will be the evidence of the crime of resisting the decree. Tuoba Han Chan and the two brothers did not obey the order, what is the end, you know it clearly, let's ...... Do you want to follow in their footsteps? ”
Tuoba Wu's voice stopped abruptly, and the aftermath really had the effect of winding the beam, and the court was so quiet that a needle could be heard clearly, and after a long time, someone said expectantly: "You...... What do you mean, do you want us to give in to the king and take the initiative to send troops to help? ”
Tuoba Qingyun brushed his beard and said, "I'm afraid...... It doesn't work. You are not the people whom the king trusts and values the most, and what the king wants, you still can't see? Unless we sacrifice the entire tribe and be an idler in Xingzhou honestly, "Otherwise...... It can't satisfy the king's appetite.
Ladies and gentlemen, the king was originally from the Song Dynasty, do you know that after Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor of the Song Kingdom, how did those Jiedu envoys with heavy troops be able to save their lives and wealth? You guys...... Are you willing to give up your tribe? ”
Tuoba Wu said loudly: "Of course I don't want to! This grassland, this tribe, is handed down from our ancestors, and no one can take it away! Give up - all this, in exchange for an official and a half-job i Xingzhou Anfen to keep his own fault? Even if Yang Hao doesn't trouble us, how long can our wealth last? Can our children and grandchildren also serve as governors on their behalf? Will our family still be rich from generation to generation? Will we have the face to see our ancestors and ancestors in a hundred years? ”
Some of the brains had already reacted, and asked in a deep voice, "Tuoba Wu, what do you mean?" ”
Tuoba Wu clenched his fists and said awe-inspiringly: "Since he Yang Hao doesn't eat soft ones, then let's come to the hard ones!" Sulman can't get into Xingzhou, so let's help him!
Someone was dumbfounded and said, "Isn't it? Put the people in? What's good for us? ”
Someone immediately retorted: "Why are you so stupid, Xingzhou is surrounded by heavy troops, and Suerman really came in, how much wind and waves can you afford to stir up?" That old guy who has lost his children and grandchildren has been carried away by the revenge of losing his son, Tuoba Wu means to use him to create chaos, let's take the opportunity to have a military advice!
Hearing that they were going to resist Yang Hao by force, everyone looked at each other, some of them rubbed their hands, their eyes showed a bloodthirsty and excited light, and some of them dodged their eyes, giving rise to fear. Seeing this, Tuoba Qingyun hurriedly said: "Yang Yanlang, who was originally stationed in Yinzhou, is now stationed in Xiaoguan, and Zhang Pu, who retreated to Yingli, was suppressed by the seed release, and he was not very successful in front of the king, and he had already complained, and his dissatisfaction could be seen from his battle with Sulman. Now sitting in Xingzhou, there is only one Yang Jiye.
At least half of the palace guards are from Cheng Shixiong, and Cheng Shixiong is in love with the old master, but his old master was assigned to Shazhou by Yang Hao, hmph, so ...... If someone were to do Sulman's answer...... "If you want to say it's dangerous, it's not dangerous at all.
