67. Ripped Face

When the news of Qiu Shiliang's death reached the northwest, Yang Hao was patrolling the border in Shuofang Town. Asmi was imprisoned in Chang'an for suspected rebellion. Shuofang Town took advantage of the situation to capture the dangerous pass originally occupied by Quze tribe and put all the Quze tribe under custody. Eight, 1st Middle School★Wen.

Yang Hao's inspection was first to inspect defense. Quze was not enough to worry about it. The remnants of Uighurs who went south to Hexi should not be underestimated. After the fierce collision between the remnants of Uighurs and the Tubo forces, many new hills were established. These hills were not very powerful, but they came and went like the wind, and were plundered, and were under the control of the superiors, which was very troublesome.

This also prompted Yang Hao's policy toward Quze tribes from blindly suppressing to limited support, helping them gain a foothold and thinking of being a vassal. Following this idea, Shuofang Town set up three markets at the junction with Quze tribe, purchasing their cows and horse furs, and delivering the items they needed to Quze tribes.

After appeased the west, Yang Hao visited Xiasui again. The old cities of Xia and Sui prefectures were being rebuilt, and there was a bustling scene. Wen Shimao, who confronted Meng Ming, had retired and returned home, and Wang Fulin was succeeded.

Wang Fulin was young and enterprising, but he had the right to Yang Hao. In addition, Qiu Shiliang also fell, Yang Hao was not worried that he would really be in trouble with him, but he still told Meng Ming to be careful and asked Meng Ming to station the army's food and grass in Youzhou, rather than the frontier Xia and Sui, to show that he would retreat immediately if the momentum was wrong.

After the inspection, when Meng Ming sent Yang Hao into the car, Yang Hao handed him a secret letter and reminded him: "These people are all nails placed in your army by Wen Shimao. When will they be pulled out? Do not report to me when they see the opportunity."

After finishing his southern tour, Yang Hao took the opportunity to Linzhou and said to Shi Xiong: "Your Majesty intends to let you become the governor of the Tiande Army. I don't know what my brother wants."

Shi Xiong said: "You are the governor of the four towns and let one give to your brother. Brothers shouldn't have refused, but the tree attracts wind. With you, the big tree, shelters from the wind and rain, what should I do if I have that head on it?"

Yang Hao said: "Even so, God's will cannot be violated. You are in charge of the Tiande Army and guard the Great East Gate for me. I will rush my troops north to fight thin wolves, hunt fat eagles, and create unparalleled achievements for my Majesty."

Shi Xiong said: "I heard that His Majesty has accepted a new Meng Cairen, whose name is Meng Yao. Is he the shopkeeper Meng of Haotian Trading Company?"

Yang Hao said: "The name is that name, but I have never seen it before. Next time Wu Chenglong comes, you can ask."

Shi Xiong said: "Okay, OK, it's time for you to go north to enter the Northern Expedition. Once you leave, you will be quiet."

...

"Ushitler was the younger brother of Zhaoli Khan of the Uighur State. At the beginning of Yamato, Zhaoli Khan was killed by his subordinates. Hutler then made him an Aidenli Lagumi Mishi Hejuluvia Khan. The following year, the state dynasty appointed him as Zhangxin Khan.

"In the fourth year of Kaicheng, Khitan Wuwei tribe Galgudu besieged Dashi City. Prime Minister Juluo Wu persuaded Zhangxin Khan to lead the Are tribe of Jiankun to rescue him. Are was defeated by Wuwei tribe and returned to attack the Uighurs. Zhangxin Khan wanted to punish him and wanted to retaliate. Juluo Wu rebelled and joined forces with Shatu Zhuxie to attack Khan. Zhangxin Khan was defeated and killed.

"Julaobu supported Heliotler as Khan. At that time, famine and epidemics in the Uighurs were prevalent, and civil strife continued. In the spring of the fifth year of Kaicheng, Are defeated the Uighur royal court, Khan and Juulaobu were killed, the Uighur Khan collapsed, and the tribe members scattered. Ushitler stayed in the old land in the north of the desert and was elected as Khan Wujie by his tribe."

After Yang Hao finished speaking, he drank a sip of tea and his mouth was full of bitterness.

Liu Pan said: "It seems that this Wujie Khan has no good fortune. Why not beat him? Why not beat him? I heard that he has tens of thousands of carts of jewelry in his hand, all of which were harvested from the Uighur Royal Court."

Bo Lai echoed: "I heard that his tribe had lost his fighting spirit because of the night of violence, and was beaten by the remnants of the Uighurs to flee in scattered areas. Now he is trapped in the mountains. This is a desirable opportunity."

Yang Hao said: "Recently, killings and attacks have occurred on the grassland and the people have been displaced. When I look at the Uighurs who went south, they often cry bitterly when they think of the pain of the country's destruction. If Wu Jie raises the old flag, he is afraid that he will be able to win over the people's hearts in an instant. Even if his power is not strong enough, it will be a very troublesome thing. You should not take it lightly, and use heavy troops to suppress it while it is not stable."

Yang Hao wanted to use heavy troops against Wujie Khan, but Dazhi Er did not understand the general trend, so he sent a weak brigade to fight and defeated Wujie Khan several times in a row. Yang Hao had no choice but to send Cheng Ke to guard Yinshan. Meng Ming and Yu Yanlu's troops went out of the north of the desert and attacked Wujie Khan together with Dazhi Er. They surrounded Wujie Khan on three sides north of the Xiangshui River.

Wujie Khan sent envoys to surrender, but Meng Ming refused to accept it, so he had to surrender himself, and Meng Ming took him to Fengzhou.

Yang Hao comforted him and still made him the Khan. He allowed him to lead his troops south to the east of Yinshan, west of Daqingshan, and north of Datongchuan. He allocated some rice and grain every year, so that Dazhier could serve as his general and take charge of his military power, and ordered Yin Yichuo and Mu Hong to be his prime minister and take all his internal affairs.

Ujie Khan was above and only acted as a puppet.

Are broke through the Uighur royal court, burned the Uighur tent, collected all his treasures, kidnapped Princess Taihe, and moved to the south of Yalao Mountain. Laoshan was about fifteen days away from the old Uighur royal court. After Yang Hao conquered Wujie Khan, he personally led the army to enter Luoshan. The central government of Are tribe was in chaos, one wanted to return to the old land, and the other was greedy for prosperity and refused to return west, and Are himself refused to return west.

When Yang Hao's army arrived in Japan, Ah Re personally led the army to fight. He was defeated first by Yu Yanlu, then by Meng Ming, and then by Dazhier. The elite troops of his troops were lost. The tribe split again, and one group took advantage of its weakness and abandoned him and returned to the old land.

Are was surrounded by enemies and had no choice but to do anything. His adviser Ama Lahan offered his advice: "The Khitans have surrendered to the Emperor of Tang and granted him a title. He has occupied the four northwest towns. Emperor Yang Shi favored him, but Yin Shi was afraid. Why didn't Khan send envoys to Chang'an and submit a letter to the King of Tang to ask for advice, then there will be comfort in the court, and the Khitans dare not attack again."

Are said: "I am willing to join the Tang Dynasty, but no one recommends it."

Wu Le, a counselor from Tang Dynasty, offered a plan: "If the Khan can return Princess Taihe, he will be happy with the King of Tang, and then the peace agreement can be achieved."

Ari was overjoyed when he heard this and said yes, so he sent an envoy Zhuwu and Su to lead 500 elite troops to send Princess Taihe back to the court. Shortly after Zhuwuwu and Su escorted Princess Taihe's mission to leave the mountain, his whereabouts were discovered by Uchijifang.

When the news came to the camp at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, all the generals advised Yang Hao to intercept the enemy halfway to make great contributions. Yang Hao said: "The princess will naturally have to get it back, but I can't come forward, so I can let Wu Jie Khan do it for me." Everyone was puzzled, and Yang Hao refused to say more.

Under the banner of Wujie Khan, Dazhier killed Are's mission halfway. Zhuwu and Su were captured in great pain and took Princess Taihe to the three hundred miles north of Yinshan to settle in.

When Are heard the news, he was frightened and led his troops westward. Yu Yanlu and Dazhier chased after him relentlessly. After killing Lushan, Are lost more than 10,000 soldiers and generals. Going westward, he left the old Uighur land. All tribes were afraid that he would seize cattle and sheep, and they were all strong and clear. Are had no cattle and horses to eat and were about to fall into a desperate situation.

Aimalakan asked him: "Why didn't Khan surrender?"

Are said: "A real man stands in the world, how can he beg for others? If he dies, he will die and will never surrender."

Aimalakhan said, "If you don't surrender, you will have a plan to get out. I wonder if Khan Ken would accept it."

Are laughed and said, "But you can escape your life, you can't give up. You say, you say."

Aimalakhan said: "Please throw away the wealth you have obtained along the way, and the pursuers will definitely not chase after you."

Upon hearing this, Ari pondered for a long time, and suddenly laughed and said, "Forget it, I just think it's time to leave this time."

Then he ordered the wealth to be thrown around the way. Yu Yanlu's troops saw the gold and silver. No matter how strict the military law was, they could not walk. Yu Yanlu said to the generals: "Are destroyed the Uighurs, and the income was more than ten thousand cars. We beat him so anxious that he vomited out some. If he knelt down and begged for mercy, wouldn't the ten thousand cars be all owned by you and me?"

When the soldiers heard this, they were excited again and followed him unremittingly. They chased him thousands of miles away and arrived at the foot of the Altai Mountains. There were only more than 3,000 people under Are's troops. They could not fight or leave. The soldiers were heartbroken and wanted to bind Are to offer.

While it was dark, Are killed dozens of concubines and seven babies who were still in cradles, set a fire to burn the tent, and only took two concubines and hundreds of personal soldiers to abandon the army, and hiked into Mount Altai. Yu Yanlu collected all his property, captured Aimalahan, and returned to Yinshan.

Yang Hao ordered the remnants of Jiankun in Laoshan, and under the banner of Are, he faked the seal of Are, made a fake letter of nationality, and sent Zhuwu and Su Feng to the capital. For a moment, the capital was shocked, and the scholars and people all said, "Are, who destroyed the Uighurs, has come to surrender to my Tang Dynasty, the power of my Tang Dynasty has shook the grasslands, and my emperor is the Khan of Heaven again."

Li Yanlong was very happy and led the envoy of Are to the envoys of the Bohai Kingdom. Because he was far away and could serve as a tribute, he ordered the Taifu Qing Zhao Fan to comfort the country with integrity. He ordered the prime minister to meet the envoys of the Honglu Temple and to ask the translator to examine the style of the mountains and rivers.

Prime Minister Li Deyu said, "During Zhenguan, all the distant countries came. Yan Shigu, the Minister of the Secretariat, asked the Zhou historian to collect the affairs of the four barbarians to "Wang Hui Pian". Now Jiankun is well connected to China, so it is suitable to use "Wang Hui Tu" to show later generations." Li Yan approved his report and ordered him to write it with the cords obtained by the Honglu, and also ordered Are to write the property of Zongzheng.

The excitement in the capital was caused by Emperor Hong Fu Qitian, but Li Yan understood who gave this glory and what he wanted. Therefore, when Li Deyuli sent troops to quell the rebellion in Dingzelu Town, Li Yan exonerated him and said, "Now, the remnants of the Uighurs are still in chaos on the grassland. It may be inappropriate to rashly remove the army and go south. Moreover, his soldiers are all mobs, and the military discipline is corrupt. I am unwilling to let the emperor's army be in a bad position."

Li Deyu said: "Even so, our troops should be ordered to take the initiative to attack, and take advantage of the strong army and defeat the remnants of the Uighurs in one fell swoop and eliminate the troubles from the north."

Li Yan agreed.

The imperial edict arrived in Xiao Chang'an.

After receiving the imperial edict, Yang Hao told him to his side and smiled and said, "This is really a matter of being more and more greedy."

After saying that, I offered up the imperial edict, led civil and military officials to worship the imperial edicts over and over again, muttering a word, saying, "I wish Your Majesty a lifetime, I wish Wujie Khan a white disaster this year and will die in the grassland next year." This scene was seen by the angel who sent the edict, and reported it to Li Yan after returning to Chang'an.

Li Yan laughed and said, "If you can curse others by cursing, I will order all monks and Taoists in the world to curse and kill all those who harm the country and disobey the king."

So he issued an order to teach Wang Chongsheng to be the governor of Shuofang, and ordered him to leave for the capital to meet immediately.

Li Deyu advised in panic: "Your Majesty is going to kill Wang Chongsheng."

Li Yan said with a fierce look on his face: "If he dares to kill Wang Chongsheng, I will dare to kill him."

On the same day, the secret envoy came to the Tiande Army with the order, met Shi Xiong, and issued an imperial edict: "My Princess Taihe of the Tang Dynasty was trapped in the hands of Wu Jie. Your Majesty ordered the general Jie to immediately rescue the princess and return to his country."

Shi Xiong received the imperial edict and said, "It is of great importance, let me discuss it."

The angel said: "You are a town in the country and have an imperial decree. Who should you discuss with?

Shi Xiong was speechless when he heard this.

The angel said again: "Your Majesty is a good minister of the country. If you make such a contribution, why don't Your Majesty look at you with admiration? Whoever is loyal and treacherous is clear at a glance."

Shi Xiong had no choice but to order his troops to attack. The angels followed him all the way. When he arrived outside the camp, Shi Xiong said to the gatekeeper general: "I am following the imperial edict of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to invite the princess to return to the country. You should not be obsessed with it. Please come out with the princess's carriage."

The angel claimed that Shi Xiong was too weak. Shi Xiong said, "The barbarians are barbaric. If you are angry, who can bear it? If you and I have the right to kill the princess, is it here that the angel will save the princess or harm the princess?"

The angel was speechless.

The guard of Wujie Khan was Ma Lifeng, the second son of Dazhier. He was suddenly attacked and was in chaos. He didn't know what to do. When he saw Huang Yan coming, he knew that he was Yang Hao's confidant and hurriedly asked how to deal with it. Xiao Si said: "He came by the order. If he resisted, he would trap the general in a place of unfaithfulness and unrighteousness. Let the princess be handed over to him. You go to Xiao Chang'an to report the truth to the general."

Ma Lifeng said: "I lost the princess. Isn't it because I go to Xiao Chang'an to seek death? I want to go back to Dashi City."

Xiao Si said, "You are so confused. It is a death sentence for losing the princess. How dare your father and commander protect you? If you tie you to Xiao Chang'an to apologize, everyone will be in a hurry. If you go to see the commander and report the truth, the commander will naturally excuse you."

Ma Lifeng was skeptical and led Wu Jie Khan to Xiao Chang'an.

Xiao Si came to meet Princess Taihe, and the princess asked, "It's noisy outside, which family called again."

Xiao Si said: "There is a great joy. It is the governor of Tiande Army, General Shi Xiong and the angel, who came to welcome the princess back to the country."

Princess Taihe was surprised and happy, and said with tears in her eyes: "Amitabha, I didn't expect that I could return it to my hometown in my lifetime."

He was busy asking his servants to find out the old clothes, but the matter was urgent, but he couldn't find them. Xiao Si said with tears in his eyes: "The princess has contributed her whole body to the peace of the Tang Dynasty. Now that he returns to China, he should wear Hu clothes and Hu clothes to let the subjects all over the world know about His Highness's contribution to the Tang Dynasty."

The princess stopped, wiped her tears, asked Xiao Si to go to contact her, and washed herself in the room. Xiao Si went out of the camp to see Shi Xiong, conveying the princess's intention, and saw that the angel and Shi Xiong were indifferent, and he had a conspiracy in his heart. Shi Xiong came in to pay homage to the princess, closed the camp, and set off to head south.

Ma Lifeng came to Xiao Changan to report to Yang Hao. Yang Hao was shocked and asked in detail the result. He only knew that Shi Xiong was leading the troops to attack, but no one knew. Yang Hao was furious and said, "Let you take good care of the princess. You have lost someone and have the face to see me, and drag it out to behead me." Ma Lifeng said with his neck and said, "He came with the order. Do you want me to resist the order? If I resist the order, wouldn't I betray the commander for being unfaithful and unrighteous?"

Yang Hao smiled and said, "You are reasonable. Even so, if you lose someone, it will be difficult for everyone to accept you if you don't punish you."

He still held Malifeng.

Soon, Xiao Si's follower arrived in Xiao Chang'an and secretly reported to Yang Hao that Shi Xiong had to raid Wu Jie Khan and kidnap Princess Taihe because he was forced to attack Wu Jie.

When Yang Hao heard this, he silently sat there for a while and said to everyone: "I want to go to Chang'an."

All the generals tried their best to persuade him, and Yang Hao said, "I have decided, so you don't need to persuade him anymore."

As the queen of stay, Meng Ming asked, "Ma Lifeng is not guilty, will he be liberated?" Yang Hao said, "I will make a decision when I come back."

It is logical that the great event was a general for the Great Marshal of the Northwest Five Army troops who were holding heavy troops and vigilant in the northwest. However, Yang Hao's entry into the capital was silent. Most court officials and servants were not aware of it. It was not until Li Yan held a barbecue party for Yang Hao on the side of Taiye Pool and invited officials above the fifth rank in the court to bring their wives into the palace, and that they made it clear to the world.

The barbecue party was proposed by Yang Hao and planned it all. The mutton he used was also brought from the northwest. The whole sheep was placed on the fire and barbecued with oil. Yang Hao did not need eunuchs to cut the flesh, but asked six maids wearing Khitan clothes to cut the flesh.

Li Yan enjoyed this seemingly barbaric night banquet, with big mouthfuls of wine and meat, and he ate it happily.

Yang Hao observed that among the concubines around her, there were two most favored people, Wang Fuer and Meng Yao, who had both met themselves, and Wang Fuer himself could treat him as an acquaintance. Although they had only met each other a few times, they were not really familiar with each other. Meng Yao was also very familiar, but she had to treat him as a stranger.

This is the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty. During the banquet, the etiquette of the monarch and ministers was also very casual. Yang Hao was naturally the main protagonist tonight except Li Yan, and there were endless people coming to toast. Seeing that her husband was drinking too much, Li Xin, who was accompanying him, stopped doing it, so he simply took his cup and hid it.

This move attracted everyone's attention. No one could have expected that the dignified county lady would make such a petty act on such an occasion. On the contrary, the Lü Ru Ren was generous and quite elegant, with a certain authentic lady temperament.

Li Xin is the Khitan Xinxin Guerlu. This time, Yang Hao came to Beijing and brought her and Lu Rui together.

After Li Yan asked about his identity, he gave her the surname Li, changed her name to Li Xin, and officially appointed her as the wife of the Duke of Xining County.

Li Xin was also unhappy and contradicted on the spot: "I am the Khitan Kedun, and I enjoy my husband alone. I am a wife, but I want to share my husband with other women. I ask His Majesty the Emperor to take back his fame, I cannot accept it."

After a few words, Li Yan slapped his legs and laughed loudly. The officials were disobedient and made all the officials look sideways, making Li Deyu, who had always been serious, laugh and cry.

Li Yan finally stopped laughing and said to her: "Look at my palace, there are more than a thousand beauties, but I only want two or three people. Why? These three people are gentle and please me the most. Your husband is an eagle flying high on the grassland. Women must think of him. If you don't want to share your husband with others, you should grab his heart and let him love only one of you. Instead of making a tantrum to prevent him from contacting other women, I heard that I gave you a whip that can whip all concubines. You have become his real lady today, and I will give you another treasure, which will not only whip his backyard, but if he lets you down, he will also beat him."

Li Xin was overjoyed when she heard this, "What will Your Majesty give me? Take it and see it."

But when Li Haogu brought a wooden stick, Li Xin said unhappily: "What a blessing is this? Why is there a bump on the end?"

Li Haogu said: "This is your majesty's beloved polo game. Princess, you are blessed. With this thing in hand, no one dares to compete with you." Li Xin then understood the benefits of this thing, and bowed to Li Yan thankfully. He stood up and waved the ball stick to give Yang Hao a threatening glance.
