with tacit agreement

Going east of Jinshan is an endless grassland. Low hills are distributed on this vast plain. The mountains and melt water form small rivers, winding among the hills. It is late spring, with sufficient water and rapid water flow. Groups of cattle and sheep eating leisurely by the river. This area is the territory of the Uighur Bayegu tribe. The Bayegu tribe has about 50,000 people, distributed on the vast land east of Jinshan.

The tents were visible from afar, and the herdsmen lived a leisurely and peaceful life here. That morning, a black line appeared in the distance, and a mighty army appeared. The herdsmen were frightened and uneasy. They shouted loudly and greeted their families. A group of herds dogs rushed up with barking.

Cui Ganyou immediately stared at hundreds of tents in the distance. This was a small tribe of the Hebaye Gu tribe, closest to Jinshan. He turned around and ordered: "Abudina, I'll leave it to you!"

Abudina pulled out his battle knife, pointed to the tent from a distance, and shouted in a low voice: "Kill!"

The war horses galloped and murderous aura burst out. Thousands of Tongluo cavalry pulled out their battle swords and swung their swords to kill the fleeing herdsmen. At this moment, hatred was accumulated on the sword and killed them overwhelmed the sky and circled them.

The tent of the Baguye tribe is located two hundred miles east of Jinshan. A big river flows through the grassland. The pastures here are rich and tens of thousands of people live in. It is the headquarters of the Baguye tribe.

At this moment, the upper and lower parts of the Baguye tribe were shrouded in a fearful atmosphere. The news that the three armies of Geluo, Tonglu and Shatuo crossed the Jinshan Mountain had reached here. In the tent, Ashina, the chief of the Baguye tribe, was like an ant on a hot pan, paced back and forth with anxiety. He had received more than a dozen unfortunate news. Wherever the enemy passed, he killed all his tribesmen, and did not let go of any of the old men, women and children. This situation was unexpected by Ashina. After the last time he succeeded, he was about to organize troops to provoke again, but he did not expect that the revenge of the other party was so quick and tragic. What made him even more worried was that the alliance between the three tribes of Geluo, Tonglu and Shatuo formed a powerful force, which was far from being able to deal with by him.

He had already asked Gerkhan for help, but it was difficult to relieve his near thirst. It would take at least ten days for the main force of the Uighur army to arrive, but the enemy was imminent.

The latest news from the news brokerage has not yet been heard, but Asina knew that for the grassland cavalry, the distance of 200 miles is only one day, and the enemy will arrive at any time, but his tens of thousands of tribes did not move away so quickly. Even if they move away, they will be held with the elderly and the young, and the flock of sheep, they will soon be caught up by the enemy. What should we do now?

Regret and anxiety made Asina's heart hang in her throat. At this moment, a rapid running sound came from outside the tent.

"Great Chief!"

It was the voice of the informant, and the voice was extremely frightened, which almost stopped Ashina's heart and fled. He vaguely guessed that the bad news was coming.

"The enemy's vanguard is less than thirty miles away from us."

"Dang!"

The sword in Ashina's hand fell to the ground, and he stood there on the spot. It was too late. After a while, he suddenly woke up and ran out of the tent like crazy, waving his arms and shouting loudly.

"Escape quickly! I don't want the tent or flock, run away quickly!"

But the flocks and tents are the lives of herders. None of them can give up their property on which they depend for their survival, and no one is willing to give up their property to run away.

Seeing that the crisis was imminent, Asina had no choice but to order: "Blow the trumpet and prepare for the fight!"

"Woo~" the trumpet sounded, which was the trumpet of the warriors of Baguye tribe. Teams of cavalry ran out of various tents and merged into a powerful army from the trickle stream, with ten thousand cavalry ready to go.

In less than an hour, the joint vanguard appeared at the end of the grassland. The vanguard was composed of six thousand cavalry. The vanguard general was the prince of Gelulu. In this coalition battle, Gelulu people came out to provide 300,000 sheep as military rations. In addition, they were most familiar with Jinshan, so they played an important role in this coalition battle, and even they were the vanguard army.

Moushu Sihan looked at thousands of tents in the distance from afar, and the Baguye tribe did not move away, which really surprised Moushu Sihan. Their Gelu people and the Baguye tribe had been in contact for decades. They knew each other well. The Baguye tribe originally had more than 20,000 troops, but after being severely injured by the Beiting Army the year before, the Baguye tribe's army had only more than 10,000 troops at most.

More than 10,000 people dared to compete with the 60,000 coalition forces. Massacre Sihan sneered, overestimating his abilities, the destruction of the Baguye tribe was right in front of him.

“Slow down the march!”

At the command of Mushi Sihan, the five thousand vanguards slowed down. They were seven or eight miles away from the Baguye Army's tent. Ten thousand Baguye Army had already gone to battle. They marched in line and fought against the invading enemy.

"stop!"

Mousshe waved his hand, and the army stopped his pace. He stared coldly at the Baguye Army, and a cold smile appeared in his eyes. The Baguye Army was five miles away from their camp. At this moment, a loud and loud horn sound came from the north. The brigade and Luo cavalry suddenly appeared on a low hill less than two miles away from the camp.

Abudi waved his sword and shouted fiercely: "Kill!"

Tens of thousands of cavalry swept away like a torrent of collapse of the embankment, sweeping towards the terrified herdsmen, young and old.

The chief of Baguye here was so frightened that he suddenly realized that he had been trapped. The enemy's cavalry had rushed into the back camp. The cry of the old man and the children, the screams of the women being humiliated, and all kinds of screams of being killed one after another.

The army of Baguye tribe was in chaos. The young and young men witnessed their wives, children and parents being slaughtered. They screamed like wild animals, staring at their blood-red eyes and rushed back desperately. Ashina could no longer control the army. More than 10,000 troops collapsed instantly. He knew that the situation was hopeless, so he turned around and fled.

Seeing the opportunity coming, Moussan turned around and shouted: "You can take the cow and sheep women. If you take Ashi's head, you will be rewarded with two thousand sheep!"

Five thousand Gelulu cavalry suddenly launched. The sound of their shouts of killing shocked the sky and rushed towards the collapsed Baguye Army. At this time, the sound of horns was remembered from all sides. Shatuo tribe, Gelulu tribe, and Tang troops surrounded them from all sides. Baguye Army had no way to escape.

The coalition forces killed wantonly, with people rolling on the grassland and corpses for dozens of miles. Young and young men were killed in screams, women were humiliated, and the elderly and children were not spared. This battle was bloody and miserable, and most of the men in Baguye were killed.

When the battle gradually subsided, teams of young women in disarray cried and were pulled out by ropes, and more than 4,000 people were trophy together with hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep. The grassland tribe regarded women as property, which was the need for their population to reproduce. They would not stay for the children who grew up and sensible, and they would become the source of hatred.

At this time, a team of cavalry led a large group of men, women, young and old to Cui Ganyou immediately and reported: "General Cui, these are the nobles of Baguye and their family, with a total of 352 people."

Cui Ganyou glanced at them and said coldly: "Don't leave any one, kill them all!"

The next to him, Mutaheishan saw that there were many beautiful young women inside, so he stepped forward and smiled, "General Cui, why not give me the woman inside."

Cui Ganyou pointed at the whip of the thousands of women in the distance and said, "Women over there, I will give you as much as you want, but nobility women can't do it. They will become future troubles. If you come, kill them all!"

At his command, a large group of soldiers drew their swords and rushed forward and slashed hard. Only a crying and screaming sounded, and then it became silent for a moment. All the noble children were killed without leaving any trace.

Seeing that the Tou Tsing Heishan was regretful, Cui Ganyou said, "To Tsing Tou Tsing the Great Chief, if you want to be a grassland eagle, don't be like a rooster, and be obsessed with a few women. If you destroy the Uighurs, I will reward you with all the wives and concubines of the Uighurs."

He was very happy to stab Heishan and said, "I have recorded the words of the general!"

Seeing that the battle to annihilate Baguye's Guye tribe had achieved complete victory, Cui Ganyou ordered his left and right to say, "Let the pigeon letter and report to the general!"

Two soldiers opened the pigeon cage, and several pigeons flew into the sky, circled twice in the sky, and flew towards the southwest.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Cui Ganyou distributed spoils, and the tribes sent people to send women, cattle and sheep and other spoils to the rear. The army temporarily rested for several days. Cui Ganyou sent people to contact Xiagas and invited the Xiagas people who were oppressed by the Uighurs to attack the Uighurs together.

Three days later, the army set off and continued to move towards the east.

After the outbreak of the Battle of Uighurs, Li Qing'an had left Beiting and returned to Kucha. Although the main force attacking Uighurs was Geluo and the three troops of Luo and Shatuo, the Tang army also sent 6,000 troops, and the Tang army was the leader of this battle.

To a certain extent, Li Qing'an was suspected of overcoming power. At that time, Li Longji agreed to only have the right to deal with changes in the Dashi Battle, and did not include the Uighurs. Of course, he could say that the Uighurs first attacked Beiting, or that the Uighurs colluded with the Dashi, or the Uighurs and Tubo colluded. In short, they could find enough excuses. As for whether his excuses could be accepted by Li Longji, the key is in the report of the military supervisor Bian Lingcheng.

Bian Lingcheng has been in Anxi for nearly eight years and is very familiar with Anxi. He has experienced three military governors including Fu Meng Lingcha, Gao Xianzhi, and Li Qing'an. Speaking of which, he is still a reasonable person. He is not too hated in Anxi, nor does he easily report to Li Longji and report to the misdeeds of the military governors. Of course, this is related to the satisfaction of Bian Lingcheng's desire.

Bian Lingcheng is a eunuch. The physiological characteristics of eunuchs are destined to have no normal career and family pursuits. They only have special hobbies for money and property, including Gao Lishi, who served Li Longji for decades and has become one of the top billionaires in the Tang Dynasty.

The same is true for Bian Lingcheng. His obsession with money has reached an unparalleled level. He was in Anxi for eight years, and even he himself had no idea how much money he had accumulated. He had a huge house in Kucha. Two years ago, Li Qing'an sent a thousand soldiers to dig a huge underground warehouse under his house, paved with bluestone, filled with Bian Lingcheng's various gold, silver and treasures. He didn't even know how to transport them back to the Central Plains. And once Li Longji knew about it, his treasures would definitely be deprived. He was just a palace slave, so he was not qualified to have wealth. All his wealth was the property of his master.

More importantly, Gao Lishi, the backstage of Bian Lingcheng, had already fallen, and Yu Chaoen, who was in power, had a very bad relationship with him. When he and Yu Chaoen competed for the power to supervise the army in Anxi, he defeated Yu Chaoen with a disgraceful means. Eunuchs were all revengeful people. If Yu Chaoen knew that he had so much money, would he let him go?

Moreover, since Gao Lishi was demoted, Li Longji's report on their military supervisors has been far less important than before. Once upon a time, he would definitely reply after a letter was sent, but now the reply is gone. According to the people in the palace, Yu Chaoen did not get this power. Li Longji abandoned the government affairs and thought of their report before asking them. He usually ignores them.

In other words, he is almost an unnecessary person and may be laid off at any time. Even if he is not laid off, once Yu Chaoen has the power to manage the military, his good days for Bian Lingcheng will come to an end, which makes Bian Lingcheng feel like he is in danger of peace, which makes him value money even more.

Perhaps it was because of the money given by Li Qing'an, a tacit understanding had been formed between Bian Lingcheng and Li Qing'an. Now Bian Lingcheng will basically not leave Kucha City. He sent his men to complete the battles in Anxi, and then he summarized them and reported them to Li Longji. These reports were basically beneficial to Li Qing'an, especially two months ago, when the Tubo army showed signs of striking troops towards Xiaobo, he actually had no reliable basis. He also sent a text message to Li Longji after listening to the report of the scout of Anxi Army. This was a tacit understanding. He knew that Li Qing'an needed this report.

So today Li Qing'an came to find him, and he knew that he needed to have a tacit understanding with Li Qing'an again and reported to Li Longji.

However, this time is a little different from before. The reason is that three days ago, King Qing Li Cong also came to Anxi to take office, and was in Kucha City, which made Bian Lingcheng feel a little embarrassed.

In Bian Lingcheng's study, Li Qing'an was talking with him at night. The arrival of King Qing, from a certain perspective, threatened the interests of the two of them, and led them to the same front.

"General, the Uighurs are different from Tubo and Dashi. The Uighurs and Datang have always had good friends. Once they know that the Tang army also sent troops to attack the Uighurs, they will inevitably complain to the court. The court's doubts will come soon. I feel that the general has not handled this matter well. The general should not send troops. He can only send more than a dozen generals to serve as the chief generals. In this way, the Uighurs will not catch any handle. No matter how they sued, they will basically not affect the general."

Li Qingan also sighed slightly, "I don't want this, but if the Tang army had not participated, the three foreign soldiers of Tongluo and the Luo tribes might not be opponents of the Uighurs, and I'm worried too!"

Speaking of this, Li Qing'an took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Bian Lingcheng and said with a smile: "This is evidence of the collusion between Tubo and Uighurs. My border army caught their spies and handed it to the court. It also means that the Uighurs were provoking first. I think this will explain why I wanted to use troops to Uighurs. This is actually for the Tubo battle to proceed smoothly, so it is also part of the Tubo battle."

Bian Lingcheng opened the letter and looked at it. The letter to the Tubo great remarks of Shang Xi Dongzan to the Uighurs was written in Tubo and Uighurs. There was also the seal of Shang Xi Dongzan below. Bian Lingcheng was a little suspicious. He suspected that the letter was forged by Li Qing'an, but even if it was forged, the Uighurs could not argue. After all, they were crossing the border and taking action first.

Bian Lingcheng thought for a while and smiled, "With this letter, we can explain to the emperor that the general was not attacking the Uighurs, but taught the Baguye tribe who crossed the border and provoked him. Therefore, the general sent troops to fight together. The general thought it would be better to report to the emperor like this?"
