Chapter 82 Unexpected

(Finally updated on time.) In the past few days, the update has been repeatedly unpunctual, and I send 200 words to apologize. The chapter that was missing a few days ago will be filled up tomorrow. )

Zhu Xie Zhiyi, who had obtained the supreme command, took Shatuo's remaining less than 10,000 people and 3,000 iron cavalry, and in the face of the Tubo army of the same strength, he unexpectedly adopted the bullock to charge the formation, and the frightened herd of thousands of cattle frantically rushed through the enemy formation, rushing the Tubo formation to pieces, and trampling the Tubo soldiers into meat sauce. made Sha Tuo finally turn the corner, but where did Zhu Xie Zhiyi, who was backlashing, go?

After a month, hundreds of battles, Sha Chali supported Zhu Xie Chixin's mother and son to lead the remnants of Shatuo to Lingzhou to surrender, Shuofang Jiedu made Fan Xichao settle them in Yanzhou, took money from the treasury to buy cattle and sheep for Shatuo, and demarcated pastoral areas for the Shatuo people to graze, and treated the Shatuo people extremely preferentially. Sha Tuo, who fled all the way and suffered most of the dead and wounded, was naturally grateful to Fan Xichao and Tang Dynasty. At the end of July, at the invitation of Fan Xichao, Li Yu issued an edict to set up Yinshan Mansion, with Zhu Xie Zhiyi, whose life and death were uncertain, as the envoy of soldiers and horses, with the seven-year-old Zhu Xie Chixin as the envoy of soldiers and horses, and Sha Chali as the governor. Soon after, 700 men under Zhu Xizhiyi's younger brother arrived in Lingzhou and surrendered to Fan Xichao, and Li Yu brought them under the rule of Yinshan Prefecture. In the days that followed, the various divisions of Shatuo arrived one after another, reaching the scale of 7,000 people, but their vitality had been greatly damaged, and there were less than 2,000 soldiers capable of fighting, and they were willing to bow down and listen to the dispatch of the Tang Dynasty.

In mid-September, Li Yu issued an edict officially confirming that Zhu Xie Zhiyi, who had not been heard from from him, was dead -- Tubo had already hyped up the killing of Zhu Xie and his loyalty, Zhu Xie Zhiyi, Zhu Xie Qingyi, and his son. With his father and son to Tang Yilie, each with a gift, the edict to Zhu Xie Chixin as the Yinshan Mansion soldiers, the governor of Sha Zha Li as before. At the same time, at the suggestion of the famous kind-hearted man Pei Yan, he ordered Zhu Xie Chixin's mother and son to enter the Hajj to see him. Escorted by a hundred samurai selected by Sha Chali, Zhu Xie's mother and son arrived in Chang'an in mid-October and lived in the mansion that Li Yu had prepared for their mother and son. Li Yu treated their mother and son very favorably, and in addition to personally receiving them, he ordered the crown prince Li Chun to take care of their lives, select slaves and maids to serve Zhu Xie's mother and son, and at the same time invite famous teachers to teach culture, and be sure to cultivate the little men of Zhu Xie's family into a combination of Hu and Han culture.

Zhu Xie Zhiyi is indeed dead, this result makes Li Yu very satisfied, even if Zhu Xie is loyal to Lingzhou alive, Li Yu has to find a way to let him die, now he doesn't have to do it himself, how Zhu Xie Zhiyi died will not be considered. In fact, there are no more than 100 people in this world who know how Zhu Xie Zhiyi died. These less than 100 people are, of course, the 100 people led by Hao Yu to patrol the border.

Thunder does not necessarily rain, this is the experience that Hao Yu gained when Zhu Xie insisted on charging the battle with a bullock. If wearing the Tubo military uniform is the Tubo army, the 100 people led by Hao Yu are the Tubo army closest to Zhu Xie Zhiyi that night. Relying on the fact that they were wearing Tubo military uniforms, relying on their few men and horses, and riding on the frequent movements of the Tubo army, Hao Yu and they rashly marched to a place only separated by a hill from the Shatuo brigade in the name of scouts. It's just that the adventurous General Hao Yu doesn't know that his side is Sha Tuo - otherwise Zhu Xie Zhiyi may not die.

Sha Tuo, who was already in the Jedi, did not release much of the horse, just stared at the way out of the camp for ten miles, and did not expect that a * wearing a Tubo military uniform would rest under his nose, Hao Ling found traces of a large group of people passing by on the way to come, more than two hours away from him, the purpose was just to pick up cheap Hao Yu naturally did not want to take the initiative to run dozens of miles to be beaten by people as Tubo, and heard others crying that their cattle and sheep were snatched away by Tubo, General Hao would also be embarrassed. So the two sides were safe and sound, separated by ten miles, each eating and eating, until General Hao heard the thunder.

Hearing the thunder, a soldier who was at home in Guanzhong muttered to himself:

"Oh my God, it's finally raining."

Others felt the same way, but they soon noticed that something was wrong. Running to the hill, I found that the sound of thousands of cows rushing into battle was so spectacular. The night was too dark to notice that the animals were frightened. When he saw hundreds of Shatuo cavalry rushing towards the hill where he was located, General Hao Yu wisely chose to take refuge. In the middle of the night, after a large number of Tubo cavalry roared in, Hao Xuan, who woke up, followed behind with men and horses, shamelessly pretending to be an echelon. After being saddened by the countless cattle and sheep that had fallen along the way, General Hao, who felt that he could not gain anything more, decided to return to the division. However, General Hao, who understood that the livestock was frightened, was still full of confidence in the prospects for the use of gunpowder canisters. Early the next morning, Hao Jue found a lone Tubo general in the place where he camped last night, with more than a dozen guards around him. They all looked exhausted, as if they had fought a night of war.

General Hao came here to pick up the bargain, and the rank of this Tubo general didn't seem to be low, so Hao Jue gestured and ordered the hundred-man team to disperse and approach quietly. Who knew that the other party's vigilance of his own people was also so high, and he was going to come up to say hello, but an officer who gave the order quickly found that Hao Jue's hands were pressed on the handle of the knife, and they spread out in a circle, and immediately shouted, in Turkic language, but he didn't have time to tell what the other party was talking about, and he didn't have time to think about how he showed his feet, so he didn't need Hao Jue's orders, and immediately rushed forward. However, although these people were tired, they were really brave, and injured more than a dozen Hao Jue, and finally Hao Jue personally went out to kill the Tubo general.

Hao Yu admitted that if it weren't for the other party's extreme fatigue, maybe it was himself who died, so he felt that he had picked up a big bargain, so he wondered for a long time, wondering when Tubo would have come out of a general that even Ye Shi Liangfu might not be able to defeat, but as a result, when he lifted the mask, he saw not the face of the Tubo people at all, and then looked into his arms, and found out the great seal of Tubo, and a letter written in Chinese characters, and the letter was naturally Zhu Xie Duzhong's letter to Tang Chaojin. Hao Jue, who was very surprised, had to sigh to himself, destroyed the corpse, and fled the scene. The remaining less than a hundred* will naturally not leak the news. As a result, how Zhu Xie Zhiyi died has become a headless public case, and the historical record is that Zhu Xie was loyal to Zhu Xie Zhiyi and died in the chaos. Knowing that Zhu Xie Zhiyi had not arrived in Lingzhou with the army, Tubo searched for more than a month, and finally found the Great Discussion Seal on a small hillside, and only then did he have the remarks of killing Zhu Xie and his son.

History is sometimes so unexpected. After Hao Jue returned to Jingyuan, the cattle and sheep had already arrived first, and of course thanks to the response of the Jingyuan army on the way, the Mo Dao array of the guards scared off the Tubo pursuers, and the deacon representative of the Datang Bank happily counted the number of cattle and sheep, waiting for Hao Jue to come back and bargain. Knowing the news of Hao Jue's early loan repayment, Li Yu, who originally planned to repay his debts, was naturally very happy, and in addition to punishing Zhang Shou, he also rewarded Hao Jue. In this way, Hao Jue's heart was relaxed. However, if he knew that killing Zhu Xie Zhiyi was Li Yu's original intention, Hao Yu would have negotiated the price with the bank anyway.
