Chapter 579: Its up to people to make things happen.
"A king of Jisi Land can only live ten years at most!"
This sentence was not said by Yun Chu, but the consensus of the senior officials of Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty, and the consciousness of the heads of the Tang Protectorate in various places.
"The turbulent places should remain in turmoil forever. Don't give them peace!" This sentence was also not said by Yun Chu, but by Pei Ju, who had been running rampant in the Western Regions for many years in "Sui Shu".
Although this man served as an official in the Sui Dynasty for most of his life, he was a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, in Chang'an, people's evaluation of Pei Ju was - he was sycophantic to the Sui Dynasty but loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
All strategies currently implemented by Datang in the Western Regions came from Pei Ju and have not been changed for many years.
Pei Ju's most remarkable achievement in his life was to turn the powerful Turks into two Turks, the Eastern and Western Turks.
Although the achievement of turning the Turks into two is not Pei Ju's alone, his role in the process is irreplaceable.
When Yunchu left the Huihe tribe, it happened to be a good day when Polan Khan was killed by his son Bisu Khan.
Counting the time, Bisu Khan became Huihe Khan for exactly ten years.
When Pei Xingjian took office as the Governor of Anxi, the first thing he had to do was to establish his authority. After his majesty spread throughout the Western Regions, he was ready to have a good discussion with the various grass-head kings in Anxi about the prosperity, stability, and development of the Western Regions.
.
A Protector of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty who wanted to establish his authority and a Uighur who had been a Khan for ten years were a very suitable pair.
When Pei Xingjian was in Jiaohe City, he had already discussed the replacement of the Huihe royal court with Prince Bisudu, the younger brother of Bisu Khan.
Prince Bi Sudu extremely recognized the issue that the Uighur king must be replaced every ten years, and swore to Pei Xingjian that he would only serve as the Khan of the Uighurs for ten years. Once the time is up, he would voluntarily abdicate and hand over the position of the khan.
The son of Bisu Khan was given special Qin alone.
This sentence was very familiar to Pei Xingjian, because back then Wei Wangtai once said that after he became emperor, he would definitely kill his son and pass the throne to his younger brother Li Zhi.
It's a pity that no one believed such sincere words. Therefore, Pei Xingjian refused to believe the words of Prince Bisu. He still felt that the prince of Dujie was better. After all, this prince of Dujie once studied in the Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty.
For four years, you can be considered your own person.
Since he was one of his own, of course he could not bear the responsibility of killing his father. Therefore, Pei Xingjian decided to conspire with Prince Bisu to kill Bisu Khan first, and then kill Prince Bisu to avenge Bisu Khan before he could be upright.
With the help of Guangming, Dujie Teqin ascended to the position of Huihe Khan.
In this way, the Uighur tribe can be stable for another ten years!
It is urgent to replace the Khan of the Huihe Department. The matters that the previous Anxi Governor should have dealt with are still considered dereliction of duty.
So go ahead.
After Pei Xingjian moved the Anxi Protectorate to Kucha City, the first thing he had to do was to kill Bisu Khan.
Since the number of troops on hand was not enough to suppress the chaos after the death of Bisu Khan, Yunchu's troops were also included in Pei Xingjian's deployment.
Today, Yunchu will lead five hundred cavalry to return to the royal court to participate in the large-scale celebration held by King Bisu of Huihe for Pei Xingjian.
This kind of celebration usually lasts for three days, because the Huihe people's large-scale welcome songs are very long, with three to four hundred songs.
There are hundreds of pieces of music, plus dances, which can't be completed in less than three days.
Naturally, there is no need to pull out all these things for ordinary celebrations. Now Anxi Protector is in charge.
Bisu Khan naturally wanted to satisfy the newly appointed Anxi Protector.
The location was on a sunny slope near the royal court of Huihe. Pei Xingjian said that it was full of gentle hills, which was extremely suitable for cavalry to attack.
Now, Pei Xingjian, Wen Wen, Zhong Kui and the others have gone, and Yun Chu has gone a little late. It is estimated that he will have to listen to and see a lot less beautiful music and gorgeous dances. However, there will be the palace murder case that Selema likes to see the most.
, should be able to enhance her awareness of power to the extreme.
After all, the most common things she had seen and heard in the Uighur Khan's tent were all kinds of murders.
The distance from Grasshopper Lake to Lion Mountain, where the King of Huihe is located, is only eighty miles. It is also at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and can also receive water from the melting water of the snow-capped mountains.
This is a grassland with extremely rich water and grass. The grassland here is so lush that it is enough to support the 20,000 people of the Huihe royal court and nearly one million livestock. There is no need to replace any spring, summer, autumn and winter pastures.
This land was robbed for them by the Bodhisattva, the ancestor of the Uighur people. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the Bodhisattva took the initiative to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. He was the first Uighur khan to take the initiative to get close to the Tang Dynasty. This led to the development of the Tang Dynasty.
After taking over the four towns in the Western Region, his descendants occupied the grassland reasonably and legally.
When Yunchu arrived at Lion Rock with Selema and Naha, even Yunchu, after looking at the terrain here, felt that it should not be left to the Uighurs.
This is a huge depression with the tall snow peaks of the Tianshan Mountains on three sides. The open side is like the mouth of a dustpan. Not to mention its size, fifty miles away is the vast Gobi Desert.
A small river meanders through the valley. Although it is frozen now, it shines with the colorful brilliance of gems in the sun.
Selema was riding on the horse and happily pointed to the river and said to Yunchu, "I used to bathe in that river in summer. Sometimes I would bathe for a long time, waiting for the Khan to pass by there.
..."
Naha said angrily, "Why don't you like taking a bath now? Oh, my brother used to boil hot water for you, but when you lived alone, you were lazy."
Selema didn't seem to hear Naha's complaint, and was still immersed in her own memories and continued, "Once, I took your brother to wash with me, and I specially washed him very clean. At that time, your brother was white and fat.
Except for me, no woman can take care of a child so well. As a result, the Khan kicked me out after seeing your brother..."
Selema had tears in her eyes when she said this, and said, "Your brother was so good-looking, so strong, and so smart back then. If the Khan raised your brother as his son, how could he die early?"
Naha answered, "It's true, my brother is smart."
Afanti, who was waiting on the side, listened to the conversation between mother and daughter, and sweat continued to fall from his head.
Over the past few days, he had already found out clearly who Yun Chu was, what he had done, and how powerful he was.
In his opinion, if the dead Khan really raised Yun Chu as his son, he believed that the Khan would only die faster.
The reason why I say this is entirely because he is the king of all grassland tribes.
They will all die at the hands of his most capable son.
Many tribal songs say that the god-like prince is the enemy of the king...
Yunchu was stationed at Gaopo, with the blood-red war flag of the Tang Dynasty fluttering in the wind behind him. Together with the five hundred cavalry behind him, he looked down at the lively crowd in the depression.
At this time, a long horn sound suddenly sounded in the depression, and soon, a group of gorgeously dressed people on horseback ran out of the camp, apparently ready to greet Yun Chu and his party.
Liang Ying said in Yunchu's ear, "We came all the way from Grasshopper Lake without any obstruction. There are many pass-like places without any guards."
Yun Chu asked, "What did the scout say?"
Liang Yingdao "Two days ago, the Huihe tribe received an order from the royal court, gathered many warriors, and went to the west. I heard that a large group of people seemed to be coming from the Shi Kingdom."
"What do you mean by gentleness?"
"Wen County Zun said: Pei Xingjian's arrangements are very good, and he has also made complete preparations. Even if he is surrounded by the Uighur army, he still has enough strength to fight out!"
When Yun Chu heard this, he looked back at Selema not far away and said, "Mom, look, they have sent someone to greet us."
Selema woke up from her memories at this time, looked around, and immediately said to Yun Chu, "Are you going to kill the Khan this time?"
Yun Chu was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked, "Why do you say that?"
Selema said, "There are sixty-six circles of warriors guarding the Khan outside the royal court, and there are ninety-nine circles of warriors inside the royal court. We saw the royal court but did not see a circle of warriors. Back then, Jiesga followed the competition.
When Sogdiqin went to kill the old Khan, it was like this. Those warriors who guarded the Khan became the murderers of the Khan."
Selema's voice just fell.
Yun Chu was stunned, and even Liang Ying looked at Selema in disbelief. He originally thought that Selema was just an ordinary Uighur woman.
Now, he didn't see it that way, and at the same time, he secretly blamed himself. How could a woman who could raise such a prince be an ordinary and stupid woman?
"When you divide the spoils, son, please remember to bring me that green stone. This is what I want."
After hearing Selema's words, Yun Chu smiled on his face and said respectfully, "As you wish."
The knight in colorful clothes who greeted Yun Chu and his entourage quickly arrived in front of Yun Chu. On his horse, he stroked his chest and saluted, "Oh, welcome, noble lord of the Tang Dynasty!"
Yun Chu's pupils narrowed slightly, and then he said, "Are you from Tibet?"
The leading knight in colorful clothes smiled and said, "I am a brave Uighur."
Selema looked at the knight in colorful clothes for a long time and said, "Son, he is not a Huihe, but a person from behind the snowy mountains who likes to smear mud on his face."
As early as when Yun Chu raised the question, this group of colorfully clad welcome teams had already been surrounded by Liang Ying and his men.
Under the threat of spears and horses, the leader of the knights in colorful clothes said, "I used to be a Tubo, but now I am a Uighur."
Yun Chu looked back at the rolling hills behind him, sighed slightly, and said to Liang Ying, "Blow the alarm, tell Pei Xingjian and Wen Wen that Bisu Khan has Tibetan foreign aid."
Liang Ying's expression changed and he quickly gave the order to the trumpeter. Within a moment, the sound of the trumpet with special meaning resounded throughout the valley.
Seeing that the people in the depression were in chaos, the crowd that clearly looked like the Tang Army had begun to gather at this moment.
Yunchu looked at the knight in colorful clothes and said, "Tell me, who is here, Lun Qin Ling?"
The leading knight in colorful clothes said nothing. When Liang Ying raised his hand, two knights behind him were stabbed through the body with spears.
Yunchu asked again, "Qiuci is so far away from Tubo. How did you get here?"
Although his whole body was covered with horses and spears, the knight in colorful clothes still showed no intention of panic. Instead, he smiled at Yun Chu and said in pure Chang'an dialect, "The people of the Tang Dynasty are indeed different from the stupid Uighurs."
Yun Chu took a look at the fighting going on in the hollow, and waved his hand again. Immediately, two more knights in colorful clothes screamed and were pierced by spears.
The leading knight in colorful clothes took out a fox tail from his arms and said to the four remaining knights behind him, "If you want to surrender, tie this fox tail to the back of your hat first."
The knight behind him did not pick up the fox's tail, but jumped up from his horse and took the initiative to be stabbed to death by those spears.
At this time, under the gaze of the Tibetan warriors who had not yet expired, the leading knight in colorful clothes calmly tied the fox tail behind his head, and then said to Yun Chu with a smile, "I surrender!"
