The city of Dundo on the edge of the Boda Ridge, as the dividing line between the jurisdiction of the Turgish and the Anxi Protectorate, was used as the advance base of the Tang army many times, but after the excitement, it would eventually return to silence. Since then, the Anxi Prefecture has strengthened its forces here, increasing the number of 100 people from a brigade originally stationed here to more than 200 people from a regiment in the 34th Folding Prefecture.

In the early morning of the summer heat, the grass on the other side of the river was covered with mist, and the soldiers on duty on the city wall took advantage of the warm sun to rise, and lay down under the female wall with their spears.

Until a rapid rumbling sound was heard in the distance, like a dense rolling thunder that exploded against the ground before a thunderstorm arrived, and the soldiers squinted their eyes and speculated, maybe a herd of antelopes was migrating?

He stood up with his shoulders hunched and his spear propped up, his gray and dusty eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly woke up his comrades beside him: "Quick, go and report to the captain!" The Turgish are coming! ”

The soldiers on the city wall picked up their spears, untied their bows from their backs, and crouched behind the female wall, staring not far away.

The Turgish army stopped before changing the river, and had no intention of crossing the river for the time being. The white wolf skin is erected in the center of the military array, surrounded by tooth flags hunting, the atmosphere is solemn and mighty, and it should be the Turgish Khan himself who led the troops to come.

The captain ran up the steps to the city wall with a pill helmet under his armpit, wearing iron armor, and looked into the distance following the instructions of the soldiers.

He put his hand on the pergola and made a visual inspection, and there were about seven or eight phalanxes scattered on the banks of the river, with a total strength estimated at 20,000 men. The city of Swap once held out for a month under the siege of tens of thousands of Sulu troops, and it is not known how long he could hold out on to the city.

"Doesn't look right?"

Every lieutenant has a brigade leader beside him: "Captain, what's wrong?" ”

"If the army of the Turgish Khan wants to attack the city of Dundo, they should cross the river of Pachang with vigor and take battle in front of the city. What does it mean to drive to the river like this and stop at it? ”

Teasing couldn't answer Teaser's question, and the Turgish quickly gave the answer. The two phalanxes in front of Daxu moved to both sides, like an open dragon gate array, and the Chinese army of the Raider Khan Hemo stepped forward to the river.

Mo He was dressed in a white felt robe and silver iron armor, which stood out in the gray and simple turbid army. With a wave of his hand, he shouted to the crowd behind him: "Take out the banner that King Tang gave you!" ”

The emperor canonized He Mo as the Khan of Turgish, and would give him the banner, the door and the tooth flag, which was a recognition of the legal status of his subordinates.

"Light the fire!"

A few guards piled up dry wood and cow dung and lit them with torches, the dancing flames scorching the air and the gray smoke rising in the daytime.

The Turkic Shaman rides a snow-white yak with colorful cloth and felt clothes, and holds an animal skin drum in his hand, which is accompanied by a murmuring in his mouth.

Mo He raised his head and shouted loudly in the direction of Dunduo City: "The Great Tang Heavenly Khan is unvirtuous and unkind, and he is a hero!" It caused me to suddenly ride and Shi three chills. Today, in order to appease the people, I took on the duties given by Tengger, burned the Xia Cijing Festival, and ceased to be a Tang minister, so I set up ten surnamed Khans and took charge of the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains! ”

"It's burning!"

The soldiers rolled up the yellow door and the red flag and threw them into the raging flames.

Mo He looked down at the banner that was jumping and burning in the fire, and his cheeks twitched, it was not easy to make such a big determination to rebel. In the past few days, he has been dreaming a lot, and he has been thinking about it countless times at night before he made such a decision.

His rights must be upheld! Burning the flag is the best way to appeal, the Tang army in Dunduo City will definitely bring the news to Qiuzi, and the envoy of Anxi Jiedu will definitely report the news to Chang'an. King Tang dared to underestimate us and others, but he wanted to see how he ended!

On the wall of Dunduo, the brigade leader looked at the fire rising in the distance, grinned wide-eyed and gasped: "Burn the Imperial Gift, they are going to rebel!" ”

The lieutenant turned his head and glared at him: "Don't make noise, nonsense, do you still need to say this?" ”

The shaman danced around the fire with drums, and when the rising fire gradually became smaller, the shaman could no longer dance, and climbed onto the back of the yak panting.

Mohe Khan waved his hand in satisfaction, the trumpeters blew the horns of the whining bull, and the large array began to close, and the two cavalry as the lead and the rear army, led the army to retreat slowly.

In an instant, the pastures on the other side of the river had been completely removed, leaving only cows, sheep and horse dung and still burning fires.

The tense sergeants at the head of Dundo City relaxed, and even a little disappointed, and the movements of the Turquoise Cavalry were thunderous and rainy.

The lieutenant muttered rather dissatisfiedly: "I've already put on my armor, so you can show me this?" Well, you can take the city and try it. ”

He turned around and walked down the steps of the city wall with great interest, and instructed the brigade leader behind him: "Send two people and two horses to quickly deliver the news to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and write that the Tuqi Shi Huangbu will burn the Imperial Gift Festival across the river, and want to rebel and stand on his own!" ”

"Whoa!"

The brigade leader wanted to leave in a hurry, but the captain turned around and shouted: "Wait a minute! First, ask someone to search the fire to see if they can find the burnt flagpole bronze compile. ”

"Why is that?"

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and you don't know how to leave physical evidence! Just go! ”

"Whoa!"

After the brigade led the fork to retreat, he hurriedly sent someone to do it. Soon the south gate of Dundo City opened, and the two of them rode out of the city gate in four and walked along the official road in the direction of Qiuzi.

Half a month later, the news of the rebellion of the Tuqi Shi Huang surname Burning Yu Ci Jing Festival quickly spread to Qiuzi, and Meng Lingcha, the deputy protector of Anxi, was refreshed after hearing the letter. This is exactly what is missing, if you want to sleep, someone will send a pillow, isn't this the opportunity for meritorious service that the Turgi sent to himself? This merit was enough to send him to the position of the envoy of the Four Towns.

However, it is not known whether the evolution of things can go smoothly according to his wishes, and there are also Tian Renwan, the envoy of the Anxi Festival, and the imperial court Zhongshu Province, and the sage Li Longji on top of his head.

Even if he becomes the deputy protector of Anxi, he still does not have the authority to play the saint directly, and only after becoming the envoy of the festival will the emperor give a crown to the position of a court official in the imperial history, and the music can go directly to the heavens.

Fumeng Lingcha immediately went to see Tian Renwan and revealed his meaning to him, hoping that Tanaka Cheng would vaguely reveal the idea of sending troops to Turquoise again in the song.

The opinions of the imperial court on the envoys of the border towns are usually given priority, after all, they are thousands of miles away, and their understanding of the situation in the border is not intuitive enough, and although the opinions of the parties are mixed with many interests and demands, they are relatively the most pertinent.

But Tian Renwan is not an unassertive person, he considered it from his own position, and sent troops to raid Shi again, which was just fried cold rice, and it did not help him much. Moreover, the Tuqi Shi Huang surnamed He Mo Khan burned the festival, but it was just an appeal to his own dissatisfaction, which could be resolved by peaceful means. In other words, even if the army is sent to defeat the Tuqi Shi Huang, who should be supported to be the Tuqi Shi Khan, and will it be changed to the black surname Tuhuo Xian? How could the Tang Dynasty's strategy for the frontier region be so capricious.

Tian Renwan, the envoy of Anxi Jiedu, did not listen to Fu Meng Lingcha's advice, but wrote his own views on the song and sent it all the way to Chang'an along the post station.

After Tang Xuanzong received the song, he saw that it was Mo He, a young man, who was dissatisfied with the reward. The emperor is experienced in dealing with this dissatisfaction, and he is an inventor of various official positions, and if he is dissatisfied with the official position, then make up a bigger official for you.

The one who He Mo wants is nothing more than the Turkic left and right five boxes and ten khans. Of course, this position could not be given to him, and the Turgish Khan could not satisfy him. The emperor simply fabricated the title of a Turkic Left Chamber, the fifth Si Lu Xiao Khan, between the Ten Khans and the Turgish Khan, and ordered Gai Jiayun to go to appease him.

By the way, Gai Jiayun is still in Chang'an. In March, the emperor gave him the envoy of the Hexi Longyou Festival, but this Zhongcheng really floated, and he drank and danced at home for three consecutive months, and did not take office for a long time. Shangshu Zuocheng Pei Yaoqing has long been unaccustomed to him, and the sage impeached Gai Jiayun, playing him arrogant and arrogant, not enough to succeed, and now in the autumn, the Tubo people are eyeing him, but he is drinking and dancing at home. If not, he will be replaced, and if he is not replaced, he will be given an edict and strictly ordered to take office within a time limit.

Gai Jiayun, who received the two edicts, didn't dare to mess around anymore, and hurriedly patted his ass to take office in the Hexi Corridor, and did the errand assigned to him by the emperor in a down-to-earth manner. personally led the troops to Broken Leaf Town, rewarded Mo He again, and still named him the general of the right Xiaowei, and the fifth sip of Lu Xiao Khan in the left compartment.

Although Mo He was still not satisfied, since the imperial court had reacted and personally sent Gai Jiayun to appease, Gai Zhongcheng couldn't help but give face, so he reluctantly accepted the reward, but he just waited for the opportunity.

When this series of events ended, it was already the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan, and Li Siye had nothing to do in this year, hiberning in the Qiuzi Jumping Camp and waiting for the opportunity.
