In the battle of Yehuling, he defected. Although it was a shame to be captured in the defeat of Yixue Jiujiuquan, he was in trouble in the end. Xi, the Khitan betrayed him and attached himself to the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Huaiyu was aggressive and wanted him
He was included and even allowed him to go to Chang'an.
Tu Li even couldn't help but suspect that if he refused to go to Chang'an, Wu Huaiyu might just send someone to force him to Chang'an.
Did he just leave the wolf's den and enter the tiger's mouth again? For the first time, Tuli Khan felt that he could really see Wu Huaiyu clearly. This young man who always had a smile on his face could really eat people without spitting out their bones.
"Your Majesty, today, I will also speak openly to you. The Turkic Khanate once invaded the Tang Dynasty. Now that Emperor Zhenguan is so ambitious, how can we tolerate the continued existence of the Turks? The alliance of Weiqiao, I, the Tang Dynasty, is deep and deep.
I feel ashamed. I was one of the six cavalry accompanying the Emperor back then.
The defeat of Jieli Yehuling is just the beginning, not the end. Next is when the Tang Dynasty will truly counterattack. The Turkic Khanate will be wiped out and cease to exist. All the grassland tribes will also be attached to the Tang Dynasty.
Become a citizen of the Tang Dynasty outside the Great Wall.
Prince, you may have had ambitions and wanted to be a Turkic Khan, but this is no longer possible."
Wu Huaiyu's bold words really shocked Tu Li. If it was just his guess just now, then Wu Huaiyu's confession now made him know that he had no way out.
"Those who know the current affairs are distinguished. The prince is the sworn brother of Emperor Zhenguan. He has always been close to the Tang Dynasty. Now he has made new achievements. When the prince enters the court, he will be warmly received by the emperor.
Tuli must be a little unwilling in his heart,
Wu Huaiyu also asked Tu Li to recommend the noble chiefs under his command, and Wu Huaiyu awarded them the titles of governor, general and so on. When Tu Li went to Chang'an, the Wu'an Governor's Mansion was temporarily presided over by Teqin Photography, and he was awarded the title of Chief Historian of the Wu'an Governor's Mansion.
, concurrently served as the governor of Shunzhou, and gained the rank of general Huaihua.
Besides, these more than 10,000 prisoners are all young and strong Turkic warriors. How can we let the tiger go back to the mountain?
All sudden profits were also taken.
He remembered an old saying in the Central Plains: Don't toast someone without eating, or you'll be punished with a drink.
Lu Chengye was called over.
"Yes, arrange the auction immediately,"
"I also want to go to Chang'an to meet the emperor, but now that the war is over, there are still many things to deal with..."
Furthermore, if more than 10,000 young Turkic warriors are sold as prisoners, they can be sold for a large sum of money. Even if one person is sold for tens of thousands, that is an immediate income of hundreds of thousands, which can be used to compensate for the casualties.
, How good it is to reward meritorious service, without waiting, just in one step, and the soldiers will be satisfied. Only then will the morale of the Youzhou Legion be high. When troops are used in the future, everyone will be more active and dedicated.
"The prince of the county has decided to attach his troops to the Tang Dynasty. The governor is very happy and has already accepted it on behalf of the emperor. The governor's office of Bei'an will be established in the prince's old place, and he will control Shunzhou and other four states.
Wu Huaiyu summoned An Lushan again.
"This is my adopted son An Lushan. Although he is only sixteen years old, his bravery is extraordinary. He can be called Luo Shixin's rebirth. In the battle at Yehuling, he killed thirty-seven enemy heads and won the championship among the three armies.
Wu Huaiyu in Wucheng and Wu Huaiyu in Jinlianchuan gave Tuli a completely different impression. When they met in Jinlianchuan, Wu Huaiyu was gentle, polite, and very polite, but at this time Wu Huaiyu was very strong, everything was
It was arranged directly and there was no room for negotiation.
An Lushan, the deputy military envoy in the yamen, is actually equivalent to a regiment captain. Wu Huaiyu has promoted him to the captain of the Tongjun Mansion. He is originally in charge of a regiment and two brigades of 200 people. This time he went to Jinlianchuan
, even when stationed in Tuli Ya Zhang, the main task is still liaison, which can be regarded as an experience.
After meeting with Tuli, Wu Huaiyu made arrangements with Sima Wujunya from Youzhou. Fatty was surprised when he heard this, "Shouldn't we first ask the court for instructions on how to deal with these Turkic prisoners? And according to the court's practice, with so many Turkic prisoners, it is even more difficult to deal with them."
It may be to settle along the border, enrich the frontier, or even to annihilate the tribes, or to hand it over to the Turkic nobles like Tuli."
Now Tu Li also wanted to share some prisoners, but Wu Huaiyu said that he had arrangements for these people.
Wouldn't it be nice to spend the New Year with the saint in Chang'an, and then come back and become the governor of Bei'an, guarding the east side of Monan for the emperor?
Wu Huaiyu did not intend to ask the imperial court for instructions first, because he knew that if he asked for instructions first, then based on the current situation, the imperial princes would definitely hand over these people to Tuli, or resettle them in the border areas within the Great Wall, or even all the tribesmen as a rule
of.
Wu Huaiyu waved his hand, "Let the aftermath be dealt with by the prince's men. Even if the prince goes to Chang'an, Jieli does not dare to invade at this time. If he really wants to invade, our Youzhou Army will also protect your tribe."
comprehensive."
Xi Khitan and his two men asked for points, but they were rejected outright, so they were sensible and did not mention it further. Wu Huaiyu gave them some of the captured swords, guns, bows and arrows, and also gave them some frozen horse meat, so they hurriedly
Went back to the tribe.
Tuli decided to go to Chang'an.
There were also 20,000 to 30,000 casualties in the two battles of Jieli, but they only damaged their vitality and did not move their muscles and bones.
ok?
The prince of the county, Lu Sima, who is responsible for taking pictures and taking photos, will go with you to Jinlianchuan. I will temporarily appoint him as the Deputy Military Envoy of the Governor's Office in Bei'an, leading 200 people to go with him."
"There are only 10,000 prisoners, not many,"
To give Tu Li is to enrich his wings, let alone do it."
He didn't want to be so embarrassed. Looking back at what he had done over the years, Tuli was a little disheartened. For many years, he had been grudged about not being able to inherit his father's throne. His uncle Jieli was the Great Khan, but even though he was the commander
To the east of Monan, he invaded the Central Plains several times with Jieli, but he secretly communicated with Li Shimin. All he did was to replace Jieli as the Great Khan. But now he has ended up like this, and the entire Khanate will be in trouble.
It exists again, but what can be done? In the two battles of Jiujiuquan and Yehuling, Tuli was the biggest loser. 50,000 soldiers and horses went west to fight for Jieli, but now they only lost less than 5,000.
"But Erlang, have you ever thought about it. Everyone gets the benefits, even the court, but you have to bear the responsibility. If you are impeached by the censor, do you think it is worth it?"
"Sold all into slavery?"
It is even possible that I will never listen to orders in the future.
"But for such a big matter, you have to ask the imperial court for instructions first. What if the imperial court disagrees afterwards?"
Let him lead the internal annex, set up the governor's office in Bei'an and set up four prefectures, let him go to Chang'an, let him take the position of Chang Shiliu Town Tribe, let Lu Chengye be the Sima, and let An Lushan bring 200 soldiers to accompany him, everything is arranged
.
Doing this seems to be benevolent and does not damage the name of the court, but it will cause serious consequences.
"We are border ministers, so we have to solve border troubles for the imperial court. We have to consider the imperial court and get things done first, and we cannot embarrass the imperial court.
Wu Huaiyu's arrangement was not to relocate them inland.
Let's cut the knot quickly and auction these captives into slavery, and use the money from the sale to subsidize the casualties and reward meritorious deeds. When the court finds out, it's just raw rice and cooked rice. Even if the court asks a few words, don't we even have this responsibility?
?
When Xi Khitan was mentioned again, it sounded more like a threat. Tuli's territory was already surrounded on three sides by Wu Huaiyu and the others.
Huaiyu did not hide his thoughts from his fat cousin.
Unparalleled strength, even domineering.
Wu Huaiyu could not refuse.
Lu Canjun, you have been working hard this time and have achieved great results. This governor has now transferred you to be the Sima of the Bei'an Governor's Office. You will assist in taking pictures and temporarily take photos of the governor's office while the prince goes to Chang'an to court the emperor."
"My Youzhou Army Corps will make this promise to you, and if something happens, I will also mobilize the Xi soldiers from Raole Dudu's Mansion and the Khitan soldiers from Songmo Dudu's Mansion to protect you."
In the entire battle of Yehuling, there were actually not many prisoners.
In the previous attack on the mountain, there were basically no prisoners, and about 40,000 were killed and wounded. Later, during the night attack and pursuit, the Turkic cavalry ran fast. The Tang coalition had few cavalry, and not many prisoners were captured. Now there are 10,000 prisoners in total.
"When I said goodbye to Wei Bridge, I haven't seen my brother the emperor for three years." Tu Li sighed, and took over Wu Huaiyu, the governor of Youzhou, the general manager of the march of Heng'an Road, and the envoy of the Tibetan envoys to the north.
The governor of Anzhou has four states below him.
He added, "If the governor doesn't dislike her, why don't you accept him as your adopted son? The princess is following the governor now. He has followed his mother into the Wu family, so it is right for him to be his adoptive father."
The two powerful tribes of Xi Khitan also broke away.
We just have to do what we should do."
"all?"
He even sent Tuli's Bei'an Governor's Office and its four subordinate states to each send a Youzhou soldier to inspect Sima, saying that it would facilitate communication and assist in the mutual trade between Youzhou and Bei'an, as well as
Assist them in training their troops.
Tuli wanted to use these more than 10,000 captives to replenish the strength of his tribe. Anyway, various tribes in the grassland were fighting each other, so the captives would become his own people.
"The practices you mentioned are the practices in the past, but these practices have many hidden dangers, do no good, and are only a temporary expedient. Since we have the conditions now, why do we still do it? This time I was in the wind and snow in Youzhou.
We sent out troops and fought a bloody battle in Yehuling. Although we captured more than 60,000 people, we also suffered thousands of casualties. Isn't it worth the money spent on military expenses, food, weapons, armor, bows, and rewards for meritorious service and compensation for casualties?
But Wu Huaiyu didn't give him a choice. He firmly believed that if he didn't agree to go to Chang'an, this guy would directly send guards to forcefully escort him.
"He is quite accustomed to Youzhou and likes Youzhou very much. Madam Yang has been taking care of him."
"I want to meet He Luohu,"
He will go directly from Wucheng to Chang'an via Youzhou, and will bring more than a hundred riders from outside Wucheng into the capital. Wu Huaiyu will send another group of soldiers to protect them.
Even in the end, Wu Huaiyu didn't discuss the matter with him about the prisoners, let alone share any points with him.
Datang should not be so polite at this stage.
Tu Li said, "The princess has always regarded He Luohu as her own child, and he was basically raised by her. I feel relieved to have her take care of me."
"If you're afraid of taking responsibility, then you don't have to do anything. Besides, am I afraid of impeachment? I'm not making any arbitrary decisions. I have a special decree given by the saint to act expediently. Everything is legal and compliant."
"That's what it says, but,"
"Let's make arrangements, there aren't that many buts."
Wu Huaiyu waved his hand. In fact, he also knew that there were some risks here, but Wu Huaiyu didn't mind. After making such a big contribution, making a small mistake was actually not a bad thing.
