Chapter 464: After the Wu clan, there has never been such a useful tool for purging military discipline...
Anxi Protectorate.
In the 14th year of Zhenguan, after the Tang Dynasty destroyed Gaochang, the Xizhou Protectorate was established here, which was later renamed Anxi Protectorate.
How big is the area under the jurisdiction of this place?
The ancient place names may not be obvious, but the correspondence is very exaggerated in later generations, including Xinjiang, eastern and southeastern Kazakhstan, all of Kyrgyzstan, eastern Tajikistan, most of Afghanistan, northeastern Iran, the eastern half of Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan
Most of Stan.
Of course, this area is large, but it is vast and sparsely populated. The key areas are the four towns of Anxi, Qiuci, Shule, Khotan and Yanqi. Controlling these four important military towns can radiate to the countries in the Western Regions and maintain trade.
The road is smooth and profits are rolling in.
In history, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo fought against each other several times and changed hands repeatedly in order to compete for these four towns.
The original reason for the Battle of Dafeichuan was that Qinling led his army to capture Khotan and Shule first, then marched eastward to Qiuci, and then captured several towns to the west of Yanqi, which shook the Tang Dynasty's dominance in the Western Regions, and Xue Rengui led the army.
Go to war.
Xue Rengui was defeated miserably in that battle, was convicted and demoted to a commoner.
During this battle, Xue Rengui returned and was granted the title of General Manager of the Luosu Road March and Governor of Luosu Prefecture.
Luosuo is also Lhasa. This is the same as when Liu Rengui was directly granted the title of Governor of Jilin Prefecture during the Silla War. The administrative areas were divided first, showing his ambition and determination to destroy the country!
Just as Qin Ling led the army to head north, Li Yan also led the inner guards to the four towns.
The journey was light and simple, and the speed was naturally much faster than marching. In less than ten days, they had arrived at the former King's City of Qiuci, where the Anxi Protectorate is now located.
The little prince didn't want to miss this crucial decisive battle. Besides, he was not King Tuyuhun yet, so he followed him. At this time, he looked at the important town of Kucha from a distance and breathed a sigh of relief: "I can finally listen to Kucha music and relax.
Got it!"
Li Yan smiled and said: "Your ideas are the same as those of the literati in the two capitals. Kucha is versatile in music, and many major songs are used. However, for the Western Regions, Kucha is most famous for its iron smelting. Many countries in the Western Regions
All the iron tools relied on Qiuci."
The little prince hurriedly said: "What impressed me the most was that in the past, the Western Turkic Khan requested a marriage alliance with the Tang Dynasty. Taizong proposed that he cede Kucha, Khotan and other five countries as a betrothal gift. The Western Turkic Khan violated it and superficially agreed.
After the marriage, they refused to cede, so the Tang Dynasty used the army to help the other party make up its mind!"
Li Yan couldn't help but smile when he heard him speak in his own tone: "These histories should be remembered. When I mentioned this incident, I thought of Guo Xiaoke, the capital of Anxi, who has a huge connection with Qiuci."
"As mentioned earlier, in the Battle of Dafeichuan, Guo Daifeng, who was greedy for credit, ignored orders and went into battle without authorization, was the son of Guo Xiaoke."
The little prince suddenly realized: "No wonder he is a son of an honorable noble...is he the son of a tiger father? Or is that Guo Xiaoke just living up to his name?"
Li Yandao: "Guo Xiaoke was a famous general with real talent and knowledge. He participated in the Wagang Uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty and followed the old British Duke. When Taizong conquered Luoyang, he offered his strategies, defended Hulao, and marched to Sishui. Later, Taizong captured Dou Jiande alive and discussed his merits.
When the reward was given, it was said, "Xiao Ke worked hard to capture the thieves. The king went down to the canal first, and his merits are firmly on the right of all the kings." He promoted it to the Shangzhu Kingdom.
"Later, Guo Xiaoke served as the governor of Liangzhou. After destroying Gaochang, he became the governor of Anxi. He destroyed Yanqi and defeated the Western Turks. Unfortunately, he made a big mistake when attacking Kucha."
"At that time, the Tang army was sweeping through the Western Regions. They were invincible and invincible. When Guo Xiaoke captured the King of Kucha and Kucha had surrendered, he underestimated the enemy and refused to listen to advice. The prime minister of Kucha led the Western Turkic reinforcements back to the city and killed him.
, died in battle together with his eldest son.”
The little prince frowned: "But if that's the case, why didn't Guo Daifeng learn his lesson?"
Li Yandao: "Yes, logically speaking, the death of his father and brother serves as a lesson to the past. Guo Daifeng actually made similar mistakes, leading to the tragic defeat of Dafeichuan. It has to be sad. Some people may never learn their lesson!"
The little prince subconsciously turned his head and glanced behind him, landing on the obedient Wu family disciples.
The disciples of the Wu family did not notice this meaningful gaze at all, and just followed behind. It was not until they saw Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian and others personally greeting Li Yuanfang and his entourage into the Duhu Mansion that they breathed a sigh of relief and thought they were observing from a hidden perspective.
Think about the surrounding environment.
The other disciples of the Wu clan had furtive eyes, but Wu Sansi quickly stepped forward and grabbed the official of the Duhu Mansion: "I am Zhou Guogong, where is my residence?"
When the official heard the title Duke Zhou, his expression changed slightly, but he still smiled politely and said: "Please wait a moment, Duke, we have arrangements at home."
Wu Sansi asked again: "I have a large number of disciples of the Wu family. Can we allocate more courtyards?"
The official said: "This is not under the control of the lower officials, but the houses in the Duhu Mansion are not well-off. I'm afraid the Duke will be wronged!"
Wu Sansi frowned, and just as he was about to say something, he heard a voice coming from the left and right: "Is the second brother going to be separated from us?"
Wu Yanji and Wu Youji came to the side. Wu Sansi's face changed slightly, and he waved his hand to let the officials leave. Then he whispered: "I don't care what you are willing to do, but don't involve me, how about it?"
Wu Yanji seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "What are you talking about, second uncle? You can't write two characters for "武" in one stroke. A family should love each other. How can we hurt you?"
"Don't just be obedient, think twice before you act!" Wu Sansi snorted coldly, threw down the last sentence, and walked away.
Wu Shizi came behind Wu Yanji and Wu Youji. A group of people watched Wu Sansi disappear with dark eyes, which made the officials passing by feel an inexplicable chill.
Finally, the assignment of residence began.
As expected, the Anxi Protectorate was not big enough for a group of losers to live separately, so they still lived in the same courtyard as Wu Sansi.
Moreover, it was located in a remote area, almost on the edge, which made Wu Shizi both feel humiliated and secretly applauded.
He is looked down upon all day long, and his head will be beheaded if he does something bad. How could there be such a relative in ancient times?

When there were no outsiders, Wu Youji said actively: "Where is the information the Tubo people asked us to collect? Take it all out and take a look!"
Wu Yanji muttered: "These Tibetan thieves are so hateful, they actually threaten us in turn..."
As he spoke, he took out the so-called intelligence recorded along the way, and after checking it with each other, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Why are we recording different things?"
"Is there only 30,000 people in the Tang army?" "It's obviously 50,000. I heard it very clearly. They were transferred from Guanzhong Zhechong Mansion. There is no mistake!" "This amount of food and grass is also wrong..."
Everyone looked at each other.
With such a record, is it possible for the Tibetan people to guess which one of them is right, or whether neither of them is right?
Wu Yanji became angry with embarrassment: "The Tubo people are really stupid. It must be Wu Youning who is talking nonsense in Tubo, which makes the Tubo people expect this from us!"
Wu Youji thought this was strange, but he also had another doubt: "Do you think Tubo is really in trouble? Otherwise, why would we be asked to collect information about the Tang army?"
Wu Yanji also felt that his words were strange, and sighed: "Now we are riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off... Don't worry about whether it is accurate, we will take the average, compile it into an intelligence, and pass it on to the Tubo people."
Everyone praised: "This statement makes sense, just take the average!"
Wu Yanji proudly received the approval of his elders, and then his eyes darkened again, showing a bit of decisiveness: "We will act in these few days, tie up Wu Sansi and surrender to Tibet to prevent another accident!"
…
"I finally arrived at the Anxi Protectorate. As long as I stay here honestly, Li Yuanfang can't do anything to me!"
"No fault is merit! No fault is merit! No fault is merit!"
In the room, Wu Sansi murmured and recited it three times, and couldn't help but sigh when he thought of these boring days.
He had a dream yesterday, in which he dreamed that the Queen Mother was in power and promoted himself to the prime minister. Countless ministers were surrounding him, fawning and fawning over him. He could even go in and out of the harem and do indescribable things with his wife.
After waking up from the dream, Wu Sansi looked at the beam and felt as if he had been missing for a long time.
Why can't we live in a dream?
Although the gap between reality and dreams was too big, Wu Sansi still comforted himself. No matter what, he had survived two generations of Wu Minzhi and Wu Chengsi and became the Duke of the country. He could see hope, and he would certainly be able to do so.
"If I don't make a mistake! I want to go back to Luoyang! I want to take power!"
Repeating these three sentences in his mouth, Wu Sansi curled up into a ball and fell asleep.
In a daze, he seemed to have dreamed of beautiful things again. This time he was simply the king of the county and became a great talent...
A sharp pain suddenly struck Wu Sansi. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw familiar and unfamiliar faces surrounding the couch.
What is familiar is that they are brothers from the tribe who see each other all day long...
What's strange is that their faces are filled with ferocity and ferocity that they have never seen before!
"Second uncle, I'm offended!"
Wu Yanji laughed ferociously, and first blocked Wu Sansi's mouth with a piece of cloth. Then he and Wu Youji tied him up and put him directly into a sack.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
The whole process went smoothly and smoothly. When he heard the sound inside, he even kicked the bag hard.
Sure enough, the voice immediately became lowered and turned into a low sob, and I didn't dare to call out anymore.
"Go! Go to Tubo, the sky is high and the sea is vast!"
Wu Shizi took out the bag, met with the Tibetan people who came to meet him, and ran out quickly.
The whole process was decisive.
The only drawback is that many people are watching silently.
The little prince stood next to Li Yan, gearing up: "Master, I have been successful in martial arts recently, why don't you let me take action... Huh?"
Halfway through the words, Master's figure had already faded away, slowly dissipating like a bubble in a dream.
little Prince:"……"
This move is a bit exaggerated. How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife?
Maybe Master is such a responsible person?
The little prince felt regretful that he could not show off his skills. Then he looked at the silent An Shen and asked curiously: "Uncle An, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Shengan sighed leisurely: "You don't know how much role Wu Shizi played in our Silla. This time Liu Lang killed them all. In the future, when military discipline is rectified, Wu Shizi will no longer be able to be killed. I'm really sad.
