Chapter 933: One Pillar
Du Shiyi came and went quickly. He just stayed in Pugu's territory for one night, attended the dinner specially held by Yi Li Chuoba for him, and then left. There were not many people from all over the country that his leader, who was originally frowning, was now full of spirits, but his wife, Shina, from Tiel Tongluo's territory who had always been friends with Pugu's territory, would never ignore this point.
After the rebellion of Kang Daibin, the people of Tiel, who surrendered to Tang, moved to Xiazhou in Hequ, including more than 2,000 entries from Tongluo. Shina was the sister of the governor of Tongluo. He married Yi Li Chuoba for many years and gave birth to many children. Later, the Tongluo tribe was not as content with the status quo as the Pugu tribe. He gradually returned north and was still outside the Great Wall. According to blood, the chief Abus of Tongluo was still her cousin. However, although her mother's family was close, she had to consider her husband and sons. Since she surrendered to Tang, she saw too much about the consequences of the rebellious tribes, and then entrusted her most trusted daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qi, to bring the news to Du Shiyi.
Therefore, as soon as Du Shiyi left, she came to her husband's tent and asked directly: "You were frowning every day before, but now when General Du of Shuofang came, he suddenly became happy. Could it be that General Du promised something?"
"After all I can't hide it from my wife." At this moment, in the tent, Yi Li Chuoba couldn't hide his joy on his face. "Do you know that I accidentally revealed my words in front of Grandmaster Du and said that I wrote to me with Luo Abus. As a result, he not only did not blame me, but also gave me the best advice. He said that I could take my subordinates to the Turks, gather the old members of the Pugu tribe who stayed in the Turks, and then follow Abus's recruitment to join the Zuosha Quetler. If I could kill the current Dengli and assist the Punishment Quetler ascend the throne, then I could naturally get the Ye Hu position promised in the letter, and I would be the hero of the Turks in the future; and if the Punishment Quetler was not capable and was attacked and killed, I could bring the Pugu tribe back to surrender to the Tang Dynasty in the future."
Speaking of this, Li Chuoba Yi was already smiling: "If you advance, you can dominate one side, and if you retreat, you can protect your wealth and glory. Where can you find such a good thing?"
Shi Na never expected that Du Shiyi pointed out to her husband that this was the way. Although Yi Li Chuoba said it with confidence, she knew very well that such things would never be as easy as saying it. Wars require great risks, not to mention that Yi Li Chuoba has been at Hequ for too long. Suddenly, Beitou Turkic will inevitably be a dangerous battle. What if there is a thing?
Seeing his wife's worries, Yi Li Chuoba smiled and said, "I know what my wife is worried about, but I think that it will be extremely dangerous after Beitou. But you must know that what I was worried about before was never my life and death, but my life and death of tens of thousands of people in the Pugu tribe. Therefore, even if I am moved, I cannot take this family out as if it is all. However, now with Marshal Du's promise, I will not have such worries."
Shi Na asked unwillingly: "Although Marshal Du has always been kind to the Hu people, what if there is such a big thing? Moreover, there are tens of thousands of people in Hequ in total, and if all of them move north, I don't know how many women and children can't stand it."
"Of course not all of them will go. I will go, you stay, and Huai'en will stay." Yi Li Chuo said this sentence with briskness, and then said in an unquestionable tone, "I will pick out two or three thousand men to take them away, and all of them must be able to go into battle. You must know that many nobles from the Pugu tribe who remained in Mobei are competing for throne, and they are not so easy to deal with. Even if Huai'en thinks that my father is greedy for the power of the Turkic position, it's okay. If I have any, he will inherit my position in the future, then it will be foolproof.
Madam, Dashuo Du is still young. Maybe he can serve as the governor of Shuofang for many years. This time, I can also loosen my muscles and bones, and bring a better future to the tribe. I have considered this matter clearly. Dashuo Du will send someone to send him and me to His Majesty, so that the people who stay in Xiazhou will not be affected by any involvement."
It was already the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month when Du Shiyi rushed back to Lingzhou. In order to welcome the New Year, the Shuofang Jieduan naturally distributed a batch of rich New Year goods. Every general who received something was full of festive smiles.
Longyou, Hexi and Tubo fought one after another, and they had great success. Jiannandao had just experienced a great defeat. Even the Jiannandao governor Wang Yu, who had always had hatred with Wang Zhongsi and was also Huangfu Weiming's brother, was beaten to the end. Youzhou and Khitan were still in a stalemate; however, while the battle between Shuofang and the Turks was densely covered, the city was as stable as Mount Tai, and the hinterland of Lingzhou could not feel much pressure from war. Every military and civilian were looking forward to the arrival of the 27th year of Kaiyuan, hoping that the New Year would be more healthy and happy than in previous years.
Although the civil and military officials in the Lingzhou Governor's Office were busy, most of them were smiling. Du Shiyi's two nephews, Wang Sheng and Wang Hu, had already followed Wang Rong and Du Guangyuan to visit relatives. Although Du Youlin was still very young, he was better at dealing with his brother Du Guangyuan. Both of his clan brothers Du Mingzhen and Du Mingyu got along well. Du Xiushi, who was ordered to rush back from the Western Sushujiang City, had experienced the baptism of storms and had become more determined and determined.
As for Longquan Moye, Azle and dozens of Hu'er, they are already fully familiar with life in Lingzhou. If you want to learn something, you only need to apply and write enough reasons, and most Du Shiyi will be satisfied. This fulfilling and uplifting life makes everyone full of motivation.
The first thing Du Shiyi did when he returned to the Lingzhou Governor's Office was to summon two judges, Li Jian, the deputy governor who was not here, and Zhang Xinglai Shengyan, and other two governors. After communicating with the three of them about the agreement he reached with Yi Li Chuoba in the Xiazhou Governor's Office, he ordered people to summon Pugu Huai'en. Although Yi Li Chuoba meant to hide his son, Du Shiyi did not want to be this evil person, so he simply told his confidant beloved general in its entirety.
Pugu Huai'en's martial arts were taught by his father and the most brave warriors in the clan, but benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness were inculcated by his mother. When he was dealing with the Hu chiefs of Zhaowu and Zhuhu in front of Du Shiyi, he would blurt out such words. Therefore, although he understood every word Du Shiyi said, he could not believe the meaning of being together, and his face was full of shock and confusion.
"The Grand Marshal said that my father was going to Beitou Turkics to kill Quetler at the left?"
After confirming this from Du Shiyi again, Pu Gu Huaien couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, and finally spit out three more words: "Why?"
"First of all, he had received a letter from Abus, the chief of the Luo tribe; second, it was my suggestion to him; third, it was your father's choice for the sake of the Pugu tribe and you. If you can't figure it out, go back and think slowly. I promised that your father would definitely support you."
When Pu Gu Huai'en fell into a state of dismay, Du Shiyi couldn't help but sigh. Mobei was in chaos, and what he is doing now is to make it more chaos.
After all, Luo Ying and Yue Wuniang are not strong enough now, but if the title of the governor of Pugu Yi Li Chuoba is used well, it is a great force that can control the situation. The three alliances of Uighurs, Gelulu and Basimi expressed their willingness to attack the Turks, but on the surface it seems that the governor of Basimi Tutun Ashinashi wanted to take the Dengli Khan and replace him, but from the depth, Gelulu and Uighurs did not have corresponding selfish intentions? Therefore, in order to check and balance, he needed Yi Li Chuoba to return to the north and join Abus of the Tongluo tribe to strengthen the power of Judgment Que Teqin. Of course, this is a double-edged sword, so be extra careful when using it.
Since becoming an official, Du Shiyi has not been able to spend every New Year's Eve with his wife, but this time Wang Rong took Du Guangyuan away, and Du Xianhui was also in Chang'an. On New Year's Eve, Du Shiyi held Du Youlin's hand and stood on the tallest building in the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, and was inevitably a little sad.
The white clouds and cage gourds are inconsistent. Compared with when he was studying in Songshan, everything was different. The elders who once promoted him, Cui Yanzhi, Yuan Qianyao, Du Siwen... all died, and Song Jing, who retired because of his old age, finally passed away after several years of recuperation. Lu Hong lived in seclusion in Songshan. In recent years, he has been a student who has been admired by his disciples and professors, and he has rarely appeared. And the younger generation has grown up one by one and become a pillar that can support one side.
"Grandma, Grandma"
Hearing the sound in his ears, Du Shiyi turned his head, but Du Youlin said excitedly: "Grandma, look downstairs, look downstairs."
Du Shiyi looked down and saw that in the spacious courtyard downstairs, there were torches with stars and spots. The torches were constantly moving, gradually appearing a word. When he saw the word clearly, his expression was involuntarily excited.
That's the word Du
Although it was already dark, under the torches, he could see clearly those faces - including Du Mingzhen and Du Mingyu; Du Yuan and Du Yi whom he personally gave to Du, namely Longquan and Mo Ye; Azle, whom he had just promised to rename him after the New Year, and many Hu'er. He could clearly see the joy and joy on these people's faces unknowingly raised their hands and waved them.
As he waved his hand, many cheers came from his lower body. In addition to the shouting like Du Dashang, the louder voice was only two words.
"Shuofang Shuofang"
Yes, Shuofang... For him today, Shuofang is his home, and for these people, Shuofang is also a home? He has traveled to many places and has bound one side, but this time, he will not let others shake his position as the governor of Shuofang again.
When Du Shiyi held Du Youlin's hand and came downstairs, facing these familiar faces, he smiled and said, "Since you are all gathered here, then come to Lingwu Hall, and we will stay up to the New Year together and wait for this new year."
