Chapter 241: Accept the princess and return it

The only thing that Fumon Lingcha can do now is the distribution of property in the city after the war, which is the power delegated to him by Gai Jiayun. As for the rewards for meritorious soldiers, they need to be reported to Gai Zhongcheng later, and Gai Jiayun will be promoted first, and then reported to the military department after entering Chang'an. The festival can be promoted first and then played, but the necessary process still needs to be followed.

An hour later, General Fumeng stood in front of the tent, behind him stood a marquis of Yu and the guard, and Li Siye stood on his side. In front of everyone stood a dense group of herdsmen, their outward-turned robes and chests stained with red blood, staring blankly for the Tang Army's disposition or reward.

Fu Meng gave a chest hug to the herdsmen, and then said loudly: "Yesterday, you helped the Tang army to capture the city wall and open the city gate, and you have made great contributions. Now that the war has not subsided, it cannot be rewarded in time. However, a certain promise here that the herdsmen participating in the war will be treated favorably, and those who are willing to join the Tang army will be rewarded with money and wealth and enter the Qiuzifan camp. Those who are willing to stay in the city will be given 50 head of sheep and 10 yaks to each person, and they can choose any house to live in. ”

After hearing this, the herdsmen hugged their chests and thanked them, and within a day, the whole city of Talas was reciting the kindness of the Tang army.

This greatly helped the Tang army in terms of momentum, and on the second day, Fumont Lingcha took advantage of the situation to attack the city of Tujian along the valley of the Talas River. This city is far less fortified than the city of Talas, the city is concentrated in a large number of women sent from the city of Talas, the old and weak, heard that the city of Talas has been captured, the morale of the soldiers is low, the black surname Tuqishi almost did not organize a decent resistance, so he disarmed and surrendered and let the Tang army enter the city.

Under the low earthen city wall, there is a large tent facing south, the large tent is made of white wool felt, according to the rules of the Turks, only high-level nobles can live.

Three women sat in the tent, and they bowed their heads to the noise outside and the sound of horses' hooves. When the noise gradually quieted down, the women's bodies trembled uncontrollably. They did not dare to look up, and the wind-swept doorway was filled with light, followed by the sound of dull footsteps, slow and powerful, like a dull war drum made of rhino skin.

The door curtain of the felt tent was lifted, and a man in iron armor walked in, knelt on one knee facing Princess Jinhe, and said in a sincere voice: "The envoy of Shule Town, the general of Zuo Wuwei, Meng Lingcha, see Princess Jinhe. ”

The other two women, seeing that Princess Jinhe was treated so well, consciously leaned close to her, naively hoping to be sheltered by this name.

Princess Jinhe knew bitterly that the so-called princess was just a title, and what happened in front of Du Xian in the early years of Kaiyuan illustrated all this.

"General Fumeng, my husband was once canonized as the Khan of Viga Zhongshun by the Tang Dynasty, he stabilized the Western Regions for the Tang Dynasty and expelled the Great Food for the Tang Dynasty, but now his bones are not cold, do you treat his people like this, treat his heirs and Kedun like this?"

After saluting, Fumeng Lingcha stood up from the ground, still maintaining a respectful attitude, and his voice was calm but sharp as nails: "He has attacked the four towns of Anxi three times, and has made peace and rebellion with Tibet several times, and such a sin is unforgivable for anyone. Your Royal Highness Princess, I am now respectful to you, not because you are Kedun of Sulu, but because you have the blood of Ashina in your body, and you have the title of princess from the saint. ”

Princess Jinhe sighed faintly, raised her thin lips and asked, "What will you do with a sinner's Kedun?" ”

Fu Meng said calmly: "As a Tang minister, although Sulu has committed a serious crime, he is not as guilty as his relatives, and besides, the deceased is the greatest, you and the two Kedun as widows should be treated preferentially." ”

He looked up at the felt tent that was airy on all sides, shook his head and said, "This place is no longer suitable for you to live in, and the imperial court will set up a mansion for you in Qiuzi City." At least there is peace and contention, and you will not be used as a cover by those who have a heart. The last general prepared a carriage and maids for the princess and the two Keduns, and invited the princess of Jinhe, Sulu Kedun, and Erwei Kedun to travel! ”

After Fumon finished speaking, he immediately turned around and made an inviting gesture. The lords and the Keduns understood that from the moment the Tang army entered the city, their fate had been arranged, leaving the land of the Turgish forever and spending the rest of their lives under house arrest.

Three ink carts were parked outside the felt tent, and outside the door stood a warrior in black hammer armor, holding the door curtain open with one hand, and shouting, "Please get on the bus with the princess and the two Kedun!" ”

The ink car slowly left the city of Lujian, a city that was more like a settlement, and lost all its meaning. The inhabitants of the city knelt on both sides of the dirt road, and saw off the princess and the Keduns. The Don army marched through the valley of the Talas River with hundreds of light horses, and the horse's hooves kicked boiling waves in the stream, and the wheels soaked in the water seemed to have gained eternal life.

He led his army to rest in the city of Talas for two days, and completed the distribution of the wealth left by the Turgish, and there were no more than three kinds of valuable things, livestock, horses, and people, and yes, people were also a kind of wealth, and their value far exceeded the first two. For the loyal and meritorious Bakhana Khanate, Fumon Lingcha gave them the most precious treasure, that is, 10,000 tribes of the Turkish entered the Bakhana tribe and became the nomads of the Bakhana country. Some of the tens of thousands of cattle in the city were given to the local herdsmen, and the other to the Bahanna army. The nearly 10,000 horses left behind by the black surnamed Tuqi Shi were cheaper than the Tang army.

After Li Siye's external injuries were almost healed, he and Duan Xiushi once again walked on the Talas city wall. One of the two is a literati who writes from Rong, and the other is a martial artist with literati feelings. He held the round arched female wall on the head of the city and looked into the distance, and saw the vast scene of the Western Regions of the snow-capped mountains.

"I didn't expect that the Turgish Khanate, which dominated the Western Regions, would fall into such a field overnight, which can be said to be three generations of rise and one generation of death, and the change of dynasties for thousands of years has been the same."

"From the rise of Wuzhile, Suoge, to Sulu, the three generations of heroes of the Tuqi Shi, and finally fell into loneliness, the people died and the government rested, and the monarch neglected the country, this is the sorrow of human rule." Li Siye did not finish the rest of the words, but set his eyes to the east, where there is a most majestic and prosperous city in the world, if the empire continues along such a situation, the so-called prosperous era is just a meteor crossing the sky, passing by the clouds.

Duan Xiushi looked at Li Siye's silhouette, and the conjecture in his heart once again became an affirmation, this seemingly rugged muscular man did have profound thoughts, even people like Fumeng Lingcha, Gai Jiayun, Du Xian, Ashina Xian and others may not have such accurate assertions.

Li Siye turned around and saw Duan Xiushi with admiration on his face, and he felt a little comfortable in his heart, he hadn't felt admired and watched like this for a long time. It used to be outside the fighting cage, but now it's in the Western Regions 1,300 years ago. That's fine, when he goes back this time, he will dig Duan Xiushi and Bai Xiaode to his side, no matter what means he uses. Maintaining a proper sense of profundity will help him gather talent.

In the afternoon, the Tang army withdrew from Talas City and began to move its division to rendezvous with Gaijiayun in Broken Leaf City, and the envoys of the Western Regions ran to the shore of the Talas River Valley to follow the Tang army to Broken Leaf to personally congratulate Gai Zhongcheng. This included the nine surnames of Zhaowu, the envoys sent by the governor of Khorasan.

The war in which the Tang army sent troops to interfere in the internal affairs of the Turks re-established the Tang army's suzerainty in the Western Regions to a certain extent.
