Wars between the Central Plains Dynasty and the nomadic tribes usually ended in victory.

After all, the gap between the two sides in terms of national strength, population, economy, science and technology, and so on is too great.

Normally, the difficulty of a war between the two sides is not how to win, but how to find an opponent.

This time, Li Yunze led the army to Mobei, but encountered an unexpected situation.

The post-Turkic white-eyed khan didn't know what to think, maybe he hadn't been violently beaten by the Tang army for too long, and felt that the Tang army had an opportunity to come from afar, so he concentrated all the forces that could be concentrated, claiming to be 400,000 people who controlled the strings.

The White Eyebrow Khan concentrated his forces in the black sand of his southern courtyard, preparing to fight to the death against the Tang army.

Faced with this unexpected surprise, Li Yunze naturally smiled and hurried over with the army, for fear that the white-eyed khan would come to his senses and run away.

Fighting a decisive battle with the main forces of the Tang army in an open area is undoubtedly looking for death.

The two sides lined up for a big battle.

No matter what world he is in, Li Yunze's tactics are basically the same.

The foot soldiers are in large formations, entangled the enemy army.

The cavalry was hammered, and the flanks struck hard.

The tactics are simple, but they are very easy to use when they are strong.

The Turks of a hundred years ago could not defeat the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks of a hundred years later are still not the opponents of the Tang Dynasty.

Winning without surprise, the cavalry of the vassal tribe and the iron cavalry of the Tang army began a frantic pursuit journey.

The Turks, who were mainly cavalry, ran very fast when they fled, but the Tang army also had a lot of cavalry, unlike the Song and Ming dynasties, which could not expand the results due to the lack of cavalry.

The cavalry of the Tang Army pursued frantically, from the black sand of the south court in Mobei to the north court of Yu Du Jun Mountain in Mobei.

The white-eyed khan was chased and did not even dare to stop in Beiting, abandoning the Kedun and goods in Beiting, trying to block the pursuit of the Tang army.

But the Tang army only arranged for part of the men to occupy the North Garden, and the rest of the people were still frantically pursuing.

This chase really spanned the entire Mobei and went all the way to the north coast.

The smoke of the North Sea, which was not frozen, and the white-eyed Khan, whose last horse was also exhausted, finally collapsed on the shore in despair.

At this time, he no longer had any subordinates by his side.

Either abandon him or take the initiative to stay to block the Tang army, or give him the horse and disappear.

Alone on the north coast, his eyes full of confusion.

A few seals leaned over curiously and shouted at the white-browed khan.

The dazed white-eyed Khan looked at the seal, and the strength of the long hunger gave him strength, and he pulled out the dagger encrusted with gems and stabbed it fiercely at the nearest seal.

The thick seal skin was cut, and the fur was bitten directly like drinking blood.

While eating, the white-eyed khan suddenly burst into tears, crying like the neighing of a night owl, and the frightened nearby animals fled and scattered.

went to the decisive battle with confidence, but the result was that everything was lost.

At this moment, even the last horse around him was exhausted to death.

The despair in his heart floated, and the white-eyed Khan wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, slowly got up and walked towards the vast North Sea step by step.

Pursued all the way to An Lushan in the North Sea, and found the horse that the white-eyed khan was tired of, and even the seal that had only eaten a few bites.

But there was no trace of the white-eyed Khan.

Seeing that the great achievement of capturing the enemy chief was in front of him, but he couldn't catch it, and An Lushan, who had never gained anything from patrolling the shore, jumped to his feet angrily and scolded.

Li Yunze didn't care too much about this matter.

He had no interest in collecting the enemy kings, the khans, and forming a song and dance troupe.

It doesn't matter if the White-Eyed Khan escapes, he can't make waves after the fall of the Later Turks.

At this moment, in the entire prairie that spans thousands of miles, only the existence of such a big tribe as the Hui is left.

As for the once powerful Xue Yantuo, it has long been a hundred years since he perished.

When Li Yunze was thinking about how to defeat the Hui Hui, the backbone of the Hui Hui, Pei Luo Khan, had already come to find him in person.

"Minister's Guli Peiluo, meet the Heavenly Khan~~~"

The bone-strong Pei Luo, who was full of beards, came up to offer praise, and once again took out the traditional title of Tian Khan.

If nothing else, this attitude is immediately apparent.

Although Li Yunze didn't care about this kind of touting, and knew that this was a common method used by nomads when they were strong in Middle-earth, he smiled on his face, "Guli Peiluo Khan, what's the matter?" ”

"Tian Khan is in front of him, and he doesn't dare to call him Khan."

Guli Pei Luo, who had a frightened look on his face, hurriedly lowered his head, "The minister came this time to meet the Heavenly Khan." ”

In fact, I don't know if I don't say it, I was frightened by the autumn wind of the Tang Dynasty sweeping the prairie like falling leaves.

For fear that he would become the next target, he could only hurry over and beg to let go.

As for face or something, my hometown is gone, where can I take care of any face?

Li Yunze looked at Guli Peiluo Khan quietly, his face was resolute and his eyes were focused, even if he was saluting, he subconsciously straightened his waist.

It is no wonder that in history, he was able to defeat the Later Turks, occupy the steppes and the Western Regions, and become the overlord before the rise of the Khitan.

But he didn't know that at this time, the backbone Peiluo Khan, who was lowering his head, was already soaked with cold sweat on his back.

The Tang Dynasty is too terrifying, and the entire prairie is directly swept away.

I heard that even the mighty Tubo has been wiped out by the Tang Dynasty.

Looking around Datang, he has become the biggest one, who can not be afraid?

At this time, what Guli Peiluo Khan was most afraid of was that he heard Li Yunze say, 'The Tang Dynasty has already pacified the grassland, or will you return to the grassland?' ’

When I was thinking about it, I heard Li Yunze say, "Datang has pacified the grassland, what are your plans to return to Hui?" ”

Guli Peiluo Khan raised his head and looked at Li Yunze in a daze, not knowing what to say for a while.

After being silent for a while, Guli Peiluo Khan bowed down again and saluted, "Hui is willing to be a minister and a tribute, and he will be a vassal of the Tang Dynasty for generations." ”

It is also a set of ministers and tributes.

No one knows better than Li Yunze what it means to pay tribute.

To put it simply, when the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, they called themselves younger brothers to ask for maintenance, and when they were fattened, and when they encountered the decline of the Central Plains Dynasty, they would immediately show their fangs.

The time of the five-legged sheep, the time of the two-legged sheep, and many, many other periods, every time.

It's okay to fool others about this, but it's not okay to fool Li Yunze.

"So be it."

Li Yunze said lightly: "I am about to crusade against the Far West, and the Hui tribes will first move to the left side of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and wait until I send troops with my order, what does the Khan think?" ”

In other words, it is necessary to drive all the Hui tribes to the Western Regions.

Guli Peiluo Khan had the heart to refuse, the prairie was their root after all, and now that the prairie was empty, it was a good time for them to rise up.

At this time, he migrated to the land of the Western Regions, and listened to the meaning, and he had to go to the far west

"Heavenly Khan"

Guli Peiluo Khan opened his mouth to say something, but he directly met Li Yunze's smiling gaze.

The words below him were swallowed back directly.

Guli Pero Khan knows very well that if he refuses now. He knew very well that if he refused, Datang's soldiers and horses would send troops tomorrow!

He felt that Hui was actually very strong, at least not necessarily post-Turkic.

But the problem is that the post-Turkic side was swept away in front of the Tang Dynasty.

When it comes to Hui Su, it is estimated that it is about the same.

"Huh?"

Li Yunze snorted a little dissatisfied: "Don't you want to?" ”

Beat the bone force of the spirit, Peiluo Khan, and hurriedly saluted, "Return to the order of the Heavenly Khan." ”

"If you're willing to obey my orders, don't play any tricks."

Li Yunze chuckled, "If you do something that violates yin and yang, and secretly leave the tribe here, then you will destroy as much as you want." Not only that, but you, the Khan, have to take responsibility. ”

Guli Peiluo Khan complained bitterly, this is really not a chance at all.

But no matter how helpless you are, you can only bite the bullet at this time.

"Yui."

swept the grasslands, summoned the tribes that still existed, and directly issued a reduction order.

Each tribe was given its own quota of numbers, and if it was exceeded, it was reduced to a small number.

Every year, the Tang Frontier Army will send people to various tribes to conduct inspections, and if there is concealment and no reporting, all of them will be subtracted together.

This policy does not accept any refutation or discussion, no matter who dares to question or even overturn.

If it is done by a hundred officials, his whole family will be beheaded. If it is a turban, the head is beheaded. If the next emperor does it, he can oppose his throne!

Not every tribe was willing to accept the reduction, and two tribes jumped out against it on the spot.

Li Yunze's response was swift, and the two tribes soon disappeared into the dustbin of history.

There was live teaching, and the other tribes were at least superficially honest.

Their secret thinking is, I can't beat you, I can't hide from you?

But Li Yunze simply ordered Zhang Shouqi to immediately carry out the first reduction on this prairie, and those who dared to flee and resist were all peaceful.

Originally, Hui Hui, who still had some other thoughts, saw such a terrible scene, and there was no luck at all, and immediately all the tribes migrated to Beiting.

Returning to Youzhou, Li Yunze did the second important thing.

He ordered the removal of all the feudal towns in the north and the establishment of the grassland protectorate, with Zhang Shouqi as the protector of the capital.

The only job of the Grassland Protectorate is to strictly implement the policy of reducing the number of soldiers.

After that, Li Yunze did not rush to return to Chang'an City, but led the army to constantly patrol all parts of Hebei.

said that it was an inspection, but in fact, it was to use the loyal king who had long been used to conspire against the case, and put one by one the big landlords, one by one the gate valve families, and one by one the local tyrants and inferior gentry into it.

The vacated land was redistributed to the local people, taxes were reduced, all usurious debts were abolished, and the people recuperated.

In addition, the prefectures and counties were strictly urged to transfer law enforcement matters to each other, and stationed in villages and towns to patrol and arrest.

Severely punish lawlessness in various places, conduct personal evaluations of officials in various places, and so on.

The Anshi Rebellion originated from the tyranny of the people of the Northland, not because of An Lushan and Shi Siming.

Li Yunze dealt a devastating blow to the local tyrants and other gainers, redistributing the profits they plundered to appease the people.

Only in this way can we alleviate public grievances and avoid the outbreak of disasters.

After spending a year in Hebei and completing all the things that could be done, Li Yunze returned to Chang'an City.
