The first thousand and sixty-seven chapters

This battle is determined by being calculating but not being intentional. For Luo Ying, who had been working too hard within the Xi tribe and even laying a hidden line around Li Yanpeng, the battle was definitely not difficult. He could not even be as good as his wife Yue Wuniang used her body as bait to lead the carefully selected elite sword camp into the enemy formation in one fell swoop. Therefore, when Yuzhe cleaned the battlefield and recruited Li Yanpeng's troops, the couple met again, and Luo Ying couldn't help but whisper: "Can you bet a little bit in the future? Don't rush forward alone in everything? Wudi and Wushuangke are still waiting for you to come back at home."

"Do you think I want to be this bastard, but isn't this bastard Li Yanchong already having bad intentions? Finally, you are sure to kill the person. Otherwise, if someone runs away, I will chase him with a sword and kill him for three thousand miles, then go and cry."

Having said that, Yue Wuniang showed a relieved expression on her face, and then said hatefully: "I heard that Princess Yifang was married and wrote a poem on a screen. Because of her special identity, the merciful person copied the poem. You know, I have always hated those golden branches and jade leaves the most, but she is like Princess Gu'an back then, she is really pitiful, especially the sentence "What can I do to break my heart? Looking at Chang'an in the future, I feel heartbroken every time I think of it. The emperor is unrighteous, and the border ministers are greedy for merit, but the one who is unlucky is a weak woman, why?"

Luo Ying knew that whenever Yue Wuniang mentioned the powerful people in Chang'an City, she would immediately lose her temper. At this moment, Yu Qian did not interrupt. Until she scolded Li Longji and An Lushan, she began to tell Princess Wei and Prince Consort Yang that this pair of cheap parents cursed. When his wife finally finished her breath, he quickly turned back to the topic.

"Since this battle is won, the old tribe selected by Jihamo will come forward to integrate the Xi people. In addition to the Ahui soldiers and horses led by the governor of Raole, the more friendly Xi people, the other soldiers and horses must be integrated in one place in the shortest time. It doesn't matter whether they can be used as arms or fingers. What's important is that An Lushan must believe that Li Yanchong has lost all his heart. Except for Kepogu, the other Xi people are also determined to submit to him. When he conquered the Khitan Li Huaixiu, the Xi people were willing to serve as a guide and pioneer and serve him."

"Since that's the case, Yu Qian even killed the Khitan King Li Huaixiu together." Yue Wuniang said this viciously. Seeing her husband looking at her angry and funny, she said with distraction, "Okay, I know that big things are the most important. Their real parents don't care about them, and the court doesn't care about them. What's the use of me, an outsider, is Li Huaixiu's strategy? We have to inquire as soon as possible so that we can take advantage of the situation. In this way, we can live up to the words that Du Shijilang asked. If Li Yanchong knew that the dead soldiers he sent to Chang'an were meat buns to beat dogs, and he would go but never return, and he would probably be so angry that he would survive when he was in the Nine Springs. But don't blame us for this matter. If he wants to blame, go and blame Du Shijiulang."

"Ah Yeh--"

In the Beitang of Anbei Dadufu Town, because it was still cold and there was even a spring snow. Du Shiyi had just recovered from the cold. At this time, he couldn't help but sneeze several times. Then, as his subordinates reminded him to pay attention to his health, he drank a mouthful of hot tea to moisten his throat. Then he said angrily: "Just a small disease, there is no such a big situation. There is no other doctor in Anbei Ya tent. There is no shortage of doctors who treat animals, and even more doctors who treat people."

This sounds serious, but the civil and military officials in Zhenbei Hall couldn't help but smile. The herdsmen in Mobei were mostly good at treating animals, but few were proficient. Du Shiyi used a high reward to attract more than a dozen of first-hand veterinarians and searched for a few from the Central Plains, which solved the problem that there were many nearby animals gathering and that if a large-scale epidemic broke out, it would be easy to spread. There were no shortage of doctors because Du Shiyi sent people to secretly search in Hedong and Hebei Road, and used cheating to dig up a group of old, middle-aged and young doctors of all ages, with more than twenty. In this way, the trend of medical education in Anbei Yashangcheng Middle School was second only to practicing martial arts and joining the army and veterinary medicine.

As for the other people who were dedicated to training in Anbeiya Treasure City, the craftsmen. Anbeiya Treasure City, as the first city in Mobei, is the only commercial city officially licensed by the Tang Dynasty, and assumes the responsibility of connecting the east and west of Mobei. The craftsmen are by no means inferior to those of the prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty. Among them, the places where craftsmen live are extremely strict, and they need to be strictly inspected in and out, and the rewards are even more in line with the generals and soldiers in the army. In order to prevent the envoys in the court to see the clues, Du Shiyi also built a hidden small fort in a valley that is easy to defend and difficult to attack dozens of miles away from Anbeiya Treasure City, which was specially used to develop and improve weapons. Even the two alchemy Taoist priests he once raised privately have come here. The rumbling sound of the trial gunpowder products often makes people mistakenly think that it is a thunder thunder on the ground.

What happened in Chang'an City thousands of miles away? The battle in the border area of ​​the Raole Governor's Office was too far away for Anbeiya Treasure City. Although Du Shiyi lost the position of Shuofang Jiedushi and Hedong Jiedushi, most of the people here followed Du Shiyi to manage the people from Mobei since the foundation of Anbeiya Treasure City, so everyone knows that Du Shiyi's energy has long been placed in this place that everyone in the Tang Dynasty thought was far away from the political center. At this moment, they were all curious and hesitant about the exchanges between Kushiyi and Kuaima mentioned by Du Shiyi, Guliyi and Ma.

The horses, which are the Thunder Kingdoms in the Turkic people, are located in the North Sea, hundreds of miles north of Lake Baikal in later generations. The climate is severely cold. It is said that the land is not plowed by cattle, but horses are plowed by horses. These horses are not used for riding, but are made into cheese as food. There is no real unity between the various ministries of the horses, so there are no major chiefs. The whole country is added together, and there are only about 30,000 soldiers who can fight, but there are 300,000 horses.

According to legend, there are also ghost countries with night travel and daytime hiding, people's customs are mysterious and strange, and they look extremely strange. They have no diplomatic relations or subordinate relationship with the Tang Dynasty. In Du Shiyi's view, this kind of rumors of rumors are actually because the Ghost Country is too far away for the Central Plains, and the rumors are so outrageous. Therefore, when discussing the trade between the two countries, the Ghost Country was naturally excluded.

As for the Khagas, who had once been close to the Tang Dynasty after he claimed to be Li Ling, it was a top priority. Khagas was called Khagas in the old days, with more than 100,000 people and 80,000 soldiers and horses. Although he had never had the ambition to unify Mobei, Khagas' strength was never underestimated. This is also the biggest reason why Du Shiyi did not take advantage of the victory after the Uighur Moyanchu and his tribes fled to Khagas, but stopped him when he saw the opportunity. Therefore, after the envoys of Khagas and the Ma Ma returned from Chang'an, he invited these two groups of people to stay in Anbeiya, and threw out the matter of mutual trading.

Guliyu is another tribe west of Xiagas. The people are brave and good at fighting, but more importantly, they produce the best horses. During the Zhenguan period, Guliyu paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty. The best ten horses were called Ten Horses in the Sea, named Tengshuangbai, Jiaoxue, Ginde Dew, Yaoguang, Juebo, Feixia, Power Generation Chi, Liquor, Liujin Arc, Xianglin Zi, and Runhong Chi. It is still talked about by people at that time. The only regret is that Guliyu did not send envoys to Chang'an this time, and the messenger he sent there has not yet returned.

Du Shiyi has now officially stepped down as the second governor of Hedong, Shuofang. Among his staff, Cen Shen and Wang Changling volunteered to come to Anbeiya tents thousands of miles away, and even brought their families. Du Fu was kept by Guo Ziyi as the chief secretary. In addition, the most experienced Lai Shengyan stayed in Shuofang. Although he was drafting various trade treaties, Pu Gu Huaien and Li Guangbi, who were military generals, were also present. The two of them picked up the vacancy from the perspective of military defense. After several days of discussion, Cen Shen and Wang Changling had already drawn up a treaty with detailed terms, but Chen Baoer suddenly stood up.

"Although the envoys of the two countries of Khagas and Ma were born in foreign countries, they were both eloquent. Especially the envoys of Khagas, Tabar, had black hair and black eyes, and his appearance was no different from those of the Tang people in the Central Plains. He spoke fluently in Chinese. I suspect that this person said he was a Khagas, but he might not have been in the Tang Dynasty, and he was even a Tang people himself." After Chen Baoer proposed this, he was a little surprised when Du Shiyi was also surprised, and the others were even more surprised. He smiled and said, "I was a native Tang man, but I could have called the Ashide cheating in Mobei, let alone others? I will deal with this Tabar, so I will deal with those chiefs who Zhang Changshi went to deal with the horses?"

Seeing that Zhang Xing had no objection to this, Du Shiyi naturally handed the matter over to him and Chen Baoer. When the two left first, Du Shiyi ordered Cen Shen and Wang Changling to write the transaction in a memorial and exaggerate it, and then submitted it to the court. When the two left, they asked about the affairs of Pugu Huaien and Li Guangbi's army.

Pugu Huaien was from Tiele Pugu's tribe, and Li Guangbi was from the Khitan. The soldiers and horses under their command were almost all foreign soldiers. The troops from Shuofang Jiedushi's office had returned one by one. Li Guangbi's tribe was instructed by Du Shiyi to broadcast. The two displaced tribes pulled from the Khitan and Xi tribes were some of the troops drawn out from the tribes that were applied to. Pugu Huaien's tribe is the direct line of the Pugu's tribe in Xiazhou. In contrast, Li Guangbi's pressure was even greater. However, Li Guangbi was very excited about being able to stand alone. Whether it was military discipline or archery and horse formation, they all tried to do better than Pugu Huaien, so the two generals were always competing.

Pugu Huai'en is now appointed as the deputy governor of Anbei Dadufu for his merits of defeating the Uighurs. The envoy of the military commander of the capital, the governor of the Jinwei Prefecture, King Guiyi, and replaced his father Yi Li Chuoba as the lord of the Pugu tribe. However, others served in Anbeiya Chan City, and the second son Pugu'en temporarily captured the responsibility of the clan leader. He relied on his seniority and made great contributions. He always had a condescending meaning compared to Li Guangbi, who was two years younger than him. Compared to his in-laws and his former colleagues, the relationship between the two was much colder. Therefore, at this time, he reported the progress of the training of the new army one by one. Because Li Guangbi mentioned the issue of military discipline, Pugu Huai'en was immediately unhappy.

"Now, all the scattered herders around Anbeiya tent are moved here recently. They want to be safe, but they refuse to enter the city to accept the management. When I led the troops to inspect, what's the big deal? When I don't fight, I just want to be rigorous in military discipline, which will only make people feel bad. These guys secretly cross the border to grazle, and they should have been punished by the rules of Anbeiya tent."

Li Guangbi responded without giving in: "The punishment should also be carried out by the Anbei Protectorate. When will it be the turn of the lieutenant generals to do it themselves? The Grand Marshal, it is not that I am harsh, and there is no rule. If I cannot start the purging of the new army, the herdsmen who scattered outside the Anbeiya tent city in the future are full of complaints. After this rumor is heard, many of the previous measures of the Grand Marshal will be regarded as just good."
