34. The Collapsed Khanate
Yang Hao never dreamed that the Uighur Khanate, which had been established for a hundred years, had a million control over the Uighur Khanate, collapsed overnight. 8 �

This made everyone who claimed to be a little sensible could not believe it. Although the news came like snowflakes, Yang Hao still did not believe that Ah Re's tens of thousands of defeated soldiers could end such a great country? This dazzling change made people at a loss.
Every day, dozens of horses exploring from the Yingpan of Dashicheng to the Uighur Royal Court were brought back all kinds of news, but Yang Hao was still cautiously slow.
It was not until the military advisor Li Heming, the chief seal officer of the Uighur royal court, escorted the jewelry and so luxurious that the romantic widow of the Kurube family stood in front of him that the commander of the Khitan Wuwei tribe accepted the reality that the Uighur Khanate had collapsed.
The charming foreign lady was crying like a tearful person at this moment, as if the sudden collapse was not the Uighurs, but the kingdom of her Kurube family. Her beautiful face, like an angel, makes people feel pity for their eyes, and her concave and convex body makes people feel palpitations. Although she sang every night, her eyes were still like a clear stream, pure and lively. The years of the wind and dust did not leave any trace on her. The suffering and hardship were just her murmurs and an inadvertent sigh. Her heart was not soaked in time and suffering, but still as simple as a piece of jade.
The Khitan commander wiped away the tears for this indifferent woman and comforted her and said: "Eternal life is fair to everyone. He did not abandon you, he just changed to a warrior to protect you." He assured her, "Every real warrior will fight for his life to protect his beloved princess."
She said with tears in her eyes: "But I am just a widow and have done many unpleasant things."
But he said: "No matter what you have done, your heart is still pure."
The happy princess was determined to double the reward of the warriors who were loyal to her, and she provided many secrets that the Uighur Khan did not recognize, including a huge amount of treasure hidden secretly by Khan Khan in order to deal with the possible crisis.
"He is a visionary man, and knows that sooner or later the Khanate will be corrupted by those greedy and stupid people, so he tried his best to accumulate a sum of money and weapons to prepare for the country to be restored when the kingdom was destroyed." She obviously still missed her Khan lover, with tears flashing in her eyes, "It's a pity that he died so suddenly. They used me to murder him despicablely, and he didn't even have time to tell his heirs."
Yang Hao asked her: "Do you know where that treasure is?"
She asked back: "Are you a warrior worthy of my trust?"
He bowed to her on one knee and kissed her fingers. She giggled by his weird manners. Then she believed him. She took out a very delicate carved bagpipe and said, "He carved the password on it, but I can't crack it."
Yang Hao took the bagpipe, kissed her forehead enthusiastically, and said, "You can live in peace, and here you will live happily like a princess."
After beating the princess of a foreign country, Yang Hao immediately ordered the capture of Dashi City. He would never want to miss this feast that was rare in the ages, and of course he would never want to be scammed up on the way to the banquet.
It is another spring season when flowers bloom. The tribes on the grassland that had been in a winter and were dying had to accept the fact that they had to replace their new masters. The Uighurs who had ruled them for more than a hundred years were overthrown by the violent Khalinites. Poor Khan, who had ascended the throne for less than a year, died at the hands of the Khalinites. People eagerly wanted to know what methods did the Jiankun people use to break through the royal court defended by heavy troops, kill Khan, and destroy such a powerful country.
Didn’t it mean that the four guards of dragon, tiger, wolf, and eagle are invincible in the world? How could the royal court, which was defended by 80,000 heavy troops, be defeated by the Khikas people of less than 20,000 people? It is said that the Jiankun people suffered a crushing defeat under Dashi City not long ago, which made the Wuwei tribe, the weakest of the eight Khitan tribes, defeated the army. What was going on? Why did Changshengtian suddenly abandon the descendants of Tianlang? What unforgivable crimes did they commit and receive such punishment?
There are rumors that Heli Khan died rather than being a foreigner, but rather in civil strife. Without the letter from Prime Minister Juluobu, the Jiankun people who defeated Dashi City might have led his remnants to cross the grassland and return to their faraway western pastures. After this great defeat, they would probably not come back, at least not in a short time. Even if they were willing to stay, it was for revenge. When they breathed evenly, they would seek revenge on the Khitans.
The letter from Juluobu changed everything. He invited the people of Khikas to temporarily stay in the Crescent Valley to fight the Khitans after spring. The prime minister even agreed to send out the Eagle and Wolf Guards to assist the people of Khikas in the spring next year. The prime minister's intentions are hard, not poisonous, driving the wolf and fighting the tiger, taking advantage of both of them to get the benefits of the fisherman.
How could such a vicious and despicable plan be hidden from the eyes of the Jiankun people? The prime minister who was determined to harm others finally shot himself in the foot. The fooled Jiankun people were angry. Are led his tribe members like Huang Ying to cross the pass guarded by heavy troops, raided the royal court, and killed the vicious prime minister and the ignorant Khan. The Khan who had just ascended the throne had not yet established a crown prince. The prestigious Wujie Special Forces were shepherding sheep thousands of miles away in order to avoid the murder of his old rival, Juluo Wu.
The Uighur nobles elected four Khans in a row, and they elected one, and Age killed one. Their reign was so short that they did not even leave their names. The Uighurs could no longer elect the new Khan. The huge Khanate was like a pile of sand, and collapse was inevitable. The legendary dragon, tiger, eagle, and wolf guards that looked down on the world were like clay sculptures and wood sculptures, which were completely vulnerable. They could neither shock Age's rebellious heart nor extinguish the rebellion of the Jiankun people in time. They could not save the lives of the Khan and the prime minister, nor could they complete the mission of covering the escape of the royal orphans and widows. They could not even save their own lives.
The 80,000 army was beaten by less than 20,000 Jiankun people and was defeated. Three of the four generals were cut off by Are, and the remaining one knelt in front of the rebels, wagging his tail like a dog to beg for mercy.
The great Uighur Kingdom is like a shattered catkins in the wind, drifting all night.
No one knows what the letter that changed the fate of the entire grassland said, and even some people began to doubt whether there was such a letter. Ah Re never admitted to receiving any letters. He always insisted that he had to resist when he encountered an attack from the tiger guard on the way back home. Of course, the rebels' words were not enough to accept.
Julubu's family admitted that there was the letter, but the contents of the letter were not as legendary. Julubu's eldest son Narova insisted that the letter was drafted by him for his father, and it was entirely out of public intention.
Narova recalled the situation at that time and said that the people of Khikas suffered a defeat at Dashi City. In order to vent their anger and to supplement supplies, they plundered the grasslands. When their father found out, he was worried, fearing that the barbaric Jiankun people would cause trouble.
Narova said that after careful consideration, his father decided to temporarily lend the Crescent Valley, three hundred miles away from the royal court, to the Jiankun people to live in, and allocate food and grass to support them in the winter, and then beat them to leave in the spring of the next year. In order to prevent the people of the Khalils from following the rules, his father also asked the Khan for instructions and dispatched the tiger and the Eagle Guard to go for alert.
As for why the people of the Khikas suddenly attacked the royal court, Narova explained that this was completely the fault of the Tiger Guard. They did not appreciate the resilience of the Jiankun people who were newly defeated by the Khitan and were eager to take revenge. They seized their little mistakes, refused to give in, and repeatedly provoked them, which finally aroused the resistance of the Jiankun people. When Ahre raised his troops to attack the Yingguard, they stopped moving and refused to save them, resulting in the defeat of the Yingguard. The north gate of the Wangting opened wide, and finally led to an uncontrollable result.
Juluobu's son asked sadly: Is this wrong with a prime minister who, when the Khanate is facing a crisis, uses appeasement to restrain the strong enemy and uses the army to monitor it?
Of course, it’s better not to believe the culprit’s justification.
As an outsider, the Khitan Wuwei tribe told the residents of the grassland from a fair standpoint: The letter that Juluobu colluded with Are is real. As the prime minister of the power of the grassland and the first hero in supporting the new Khan, he could not tolerate someone being disrespectful to him. He wanted to use the hands of the Jiankun people to get rid of those who disrespect him. For example, Chilu, the general general of the Hu Guard, knew that Ujie Special Qin was the political enemy of Juluobu, and who knew that Chilu was the confidant of Wujie Special Qin's younger brother Ge Nian? Ge Nian was once the commander of the Hu Guard, but was dismissed by Zhangxin Khan because of his defeat in Poyang Valley. Most of his commanders could not be achieved, but the Hu Guard was still in his hands. Chilu was his hardcore confidant and obeyed his words. Ge Nian, a idle man, still said the same thing in the Hu Guard.
This made Juluo Wu angry and even more frightened him. Although he controlled the Eagle and Wolf Guards, the combined combat power of the two guards was not as strong as that of the Tiger Guards. In fact, the Dragon Guards' combat power was not as strong as that of the Tiger Guards. This means that if the special agent of the Ujie who was hiding in the valley shepherded, he would never be able to stop Juluo Wu. At that time, he could only give up the throne of the prime minister of the country, retreated back to his hometown in shame, and survived under the shadow of the Tiger Guards. It would be unknown whether he could walk out of the royal court safely.
The Hu Guard is a thorn in his eyes, and he must pull it out quickly. This is his original intention to collude with Ah Re, and use the Jiankun people to defeat the Hu Guard, and wait until both of them are injured, and then attack the Jiankun people. By then, he will not only eliminate the potential threats in the royal court, but also calm down the northwest border troubles that have plagued the Uighur Khanate for a long time. It is really a killing of two birds with one stone.
Galgudu, the leader of the Wuwei tribe, said: The Wuwei tribe has always been a loyal subject of the Khanate and has never had the intention of rebellion. Because the people of Dashicheng were disrespectful to the royal court, they sent troops to attack. This was praised by Khan Zhangxin. Otherwise, why did he not see the Tianlang Army coming to fight for the attack for a year? The so-called rumors that Prime Minister Juluobu wanted to use the hands of the Jiankun people to attack our troops were completely unfounded. The creator was vicious with his intentions and intended to provoke discord between the Khitans and the Uighurs, and he was fond of fishing for troubled waters. Galgudu, the leader of the Khitans and Wuwei tribe, swore to the heaven of immortality: The Khitans and the Jiankun people will never stand under the same blue sky, and will never stop until they die. Our generals will do their best to help the Uighurs restore the country, expel the despicable rebels from the grassland and fight back to their hometown.
The words of the Khitan commander quickly spread throughout the grassland. The Uighurs recognized his loyalty and believed his excuses during the escape. It seemed that it was indeed the temptation of the dilapidated desire to lure, which led to today's tragedy. This had nothing to do with the Khitans. They were not enemies but trustworthy friends.
The Khitans were friends of the Uighurs. If there were any doubts about this in the past, no one who was sane in normal mind should have any doubts about it anymore.
The reason is very simple. At Dashi City, the one who risked the destruction of the Kiankun people was the Wuwei tribe of the Khitan. At that time, the Jiankun people had a population of 100,000, and the cavalry of the Wuwei tribe combined was only 30,000. Moreover, because of a hateful white disaster, their horses were as thin as donkeys, and the weak people could not even grasp the scimitar in their hands.
Now the Khitans and the Uighurs who were abandoned by Changshengtian stood together. Our common enemies are the vicious Jiankun people and the scum among the Uighurs. The greedy people are the greedy people, and the scoundrels who lead the wolf into the house.
The Juluobu and others were still trying their best to defend themselves, and they shouted: Why did the Jiankun people cross thousands of miles to the grassland? Wasn’t it the greedy Khitans? Why did the Jiankun people come without them besieging Dashi City?
But no one believed him except themselves. A person who colluded with foreign tribes to harm tribes cannot get forgiveness from his tribes, nor deserved to get loyalty from his tribes. The Khan he supported was also a pseudo Khan and would not get loyalty from the grassland people. Of course, people hated Juluobu and hated Jiankun people, which did not necessarily mean that they liked the Khitans. In fact, they were very cold to the Khitans who claimed to be friends, and there was also a deep contempt in addition to their coldness.
This coldness and contempt made Yang Hao's "cautious killing order" almost a piece of paper. On the way to attack the Uighur royal court, in order to plunder more children, cattle, sheep, horses, and the battalions of the Wuwei tribe were bloodthirsty than ever before. In order to Dai Zheng's "crown of benevolence and righteousness" on his head, and to avoid being investigated later, the battalions did not leave any living words, and the slaves did not accept the words of the cattle, sheep, and jade, and silk. In this way, as long as all those who could speak were cut off, all the sins seemed to be eliminated.
In this crazy pursuit and killing, the wealth on the grassland has undergone a huge transfer. The former nobles have now become beggars. The poor who were originally penniless now have herds of cattle and sheep and slaves. Dashi City has now become the only refuge on the grassland with its high walls, deep trenches and strong bows and crossbows. Tens of thousands of nobles, rich families, brought their families and brought the wealth they had accumulated over the years to this "city that never fell for thousands of years". Dashi City became rich overnight, and its prosperity was close to Chang'an City thousands of miles away. The sudden increase in wealth forced Yang Hao to change his mind. He openly tore up the agreement he signed with Yin Yichuo not long ago, deposed his identity as the city lord, and took the entire Dashi City into his own hands. He wanted to be the master of this northern Chang'an.
Yin Yichu was frustrated, but he was not panicked. Although the Khitans were arrogant, they were not unreasonable. Dashi City suddenly became rich and prosperous, which was originally something that he had never expected before. After the sudden wealth, Dashi City was very popular and could not control it. Although he was no longer the city lord and his family property was still there, the Khitans allowed themselves to participate in government affairs, nor did they restrict themselves from doing business. Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be a powerful and wealthy man, it seems to be a good choice.
Not only himself, but all the people in the city have not been violated since the Khitans entered the city. If there is any unlucky person, it is his own fault. When the Khitans entered the city, they made twelve rules and carved stones and announced that you must violate his strict laws. Who is it that you blamed? Faced with the temptation of gold and silver mountains in the city, Yang Hao was not unhappy, but he knew that the reason why wealth flowed to this was not due to trust in the Dashi City and himself, but from fear of the chaotic situation outside the city and the unknown of the far south. Once the situation outside calmed down, or they found a safer place to hide wealth, they would flow away without hesitation.
If you want Dashi City to be rich forever, you must let the wealth owner believe that this is their ideal place to hide wealth.
He warned the itchy generals: Close the door and beat dogs, but before the dogs all entered the city, they were busy hitting them. Will the dogs outside come? The generals asked: What if the dog smelled the danger and ran away? Yang Hao asked him: The sky is vast and the earth is vast, why should the dog come into the city? The answer was: The world is in chaos and there is nowhere to hide. Yang Hao smiled and said: Then continue to let him go until all the dogs hide in! Run? Where can it run? It is too chaotic outside, it can only huddle with me obediently.
In order to suppress the invasion and harm the dog, Yang Hao ordered the expansion of the inspection team to 1,000 people and patrol for twelve hours. Anyone who commits a crime, once caught, no matter who is arrested, the current criminal can be executed first and then reported.
It is precisely because of this evil spirit that Dashi City finally established the reputation of the only place to hide wealth in the grassland in the troubled times.
At this time, Yang Hao sent a letter to Meng Ming, Yu Yanlu and Cheng Ke who were stationed in Fengzhou, asking them to secretly cooperate with Zheng Huatai and Sean Qing troops who went south in the name of pursuing the rest of Are's troops to capture the passes of various prefectures and counties south of Fengzhou.
Cheng Keling said: "The great commander has made such a huge fortune and is still planning to go south? Do you want to be the lord of Chang'an?"
Yu Yanlu said: "Nonsense, even if you inherit all the wealth of the Uighurs peacefully, it is impossible to enter Chang'an. The people's hearts on the grassland have dispersed and you can no longer hold a fist. Judging from this posture, it will be impossible to calm down the grassland for decades. Thinking about it, it is like a dream, and the huge Uighur Khanate suddenly collapsed."
Meng Ming sighed: "It's really unpredictable. I agree with Brother Yu's opinion. At least 30 or 50 years of chaos on the grassland, which is why the Grand Marshal wanted to re-operate Fengzhou. Think about it, who would like to sit on the crater and roast his butt."
Yu Yanlu suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "Since that's the case, why don't we do something big? Just take down Zhenwu and Shuofang for him! If we can't be the lord of Chang'an, we will also be king in the northwest."
Cheng Keling said: "For such a big thing, you can't do anything wrong without a coach."
Yu Yanlu said: "What is a nonsense? Can the meat that comes to your mouth be avoided? Can the woman who pushes it down cannot resist it? A joke!"
Cheng Keling said: "I think I'd better ask the coach for advice first."
Yu Yanlu said impatiently: "You want to ask for instructions. I will not hide it from you. I will go to find Shi Xiong when I go back. He is willing to hand over the city, but he is not willing, hehe."
Meng Ming shouted after hearing this: "Lao Yu, you can't do anything wrong, Shi Xiong is a good person."
Yu Yanlu smiled sly: "What did I say? I didn't say anything."
When Yang Hao received a secret letter from Cheng Keling, Yu Yanlu forced Shi Xiong to raise an army to surround the Ya Bureau, forcing the Jiedu governor Wang Liang to promise to retire and return home. Two days have passed since Yu Yanlu and Shi Xiong jointly invited Yang Hao to take over the Tiande Army. The secret letter from Yang Hao replied to invite Shi Xiong to secretly go north to Dashi City to discuss the aftermath of the Tiande Army. On the other hand, he replied to Cheng Keling, asking him to hand over Feng'an to Yu Yanlu, and set up his troops to go to Datongchuan to guard the Wuwei army's remaining camp.
At the same time, under the guidance of Meng Ming, Zheng Huatai's army headed south and continued to Wuhai, Xiasui and other two prefectures and thirteen counties, cutting off the connection between Shuofang and Fengxiang Town, and forming a three-sided surround Shuofang Town with Shawn Enqing, who was cruising west of the Qilian Mountains.
