Although Sun Li and Zhu Tong both possessed the martial prowess of the Eight Hussars of Liangshan in the original work, and their ability to lead troops and manage the army had also improved greatly after years of fighting. However, the current battle between the two empires of Qi Dynasty and Western Liao Dynasty really gathered too many people.
There are fierce generals and talented generals, and even Sun Li's fellow disciple Luan Tingyu and other capable generals stayed in the military division where they were assigned under the rule of Qi Dynasty.
As more and more Qi troops advanced into the Western Regions, and after the shocking news about the Western Regions spread in the great battle personally led by the emperors Xiaotang and Yelu Dashi, Sun Li's officers and men
, was also the first batch of troops to return to the Central Plains.
Later, Sun Li was promoted through his meritorious service. Not only did he serve as the commander-in-chief of troops and horses on Jingdong East Road, but he also enjoyed the honorary rank of minister in front of the palace. However, the sick Weichi back then was only the commander of Dengzhou, Si Yijie, the commander of troops and horses.
His ability was enough to scare the pirates into surrendering after seeing the wind. Now he is in charge of military affairs including Deng, Mi, Yi, Lai and other coastal military prefectures, including Jingdong East Road, various prefectures, and military affairs.
Who dares to cause chaos again?
As for Sun Li's senior brother Luan Tingyu, he managed the local military affairs and had a stable career during his tenure. Due to his experience as a gun and stick teacher, he was later transferred to the capital to select and evaluate the instructors of the Forbidden Army. After he retired from the official position, he retired.
In the future, the descendants will become a wealthy family.
Even during his tenure, Sun Li was able to frequently communicate with his younger brother Sun Xin, who served in the Dengzhou Commandery Division, and his younger sister-in-law, Mrs. Gu, who was very prestigious in the world of Shandong. His official power was matched by his popular power among the people.
What's more, there are brothers from the Jie family, and Lehe, who is increasingly favored by Xiao and Tang as close ministers of the emperor. These brothers, who are related to each other and have a sworn relationship, have bought a living in their hometown. The Dengzhou faction in Liangshan has mutual influence.
In response, this also made the Sun family become one of the richest in the coastal area of Jingdong Road, a powerful and influential family.
In this way, the descendants of Sun Li and his wife Le Shi had a family business that was making money every day. Of course, there were also people who inherited the skills and mantle of the sick Yuchi and still served as military generals in the Qi Dynasty. They were also good at using guns.
His skills with whips and bows have accumulated numerous meritorious deeds, and he has become famous in the army...

The Qi armies of various tribes who entered the Uighur territory of Xizhou from Yumen Pass were camped step by step. They were only four to five hundred miles away from Yizhou (later Hami City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region) in the northwest, which was originally established by the Tang Dynasty.
However, most of the territory under the Uighur rule in Xizhou is the Gobi territory, which is vast and sparsely populated. The Qi Dynasty must not go deep alone until the elite armies of various departments have gathered to join forces and the roads for logistics and supply are guaranteed to be smooth. Therefore, they were the first to invade the territory of the Western Regions.
The troop progress inevitably slowed down.
In addition to the state capitals scattered in the Western Regions, the Qi army has also occupied several villages after defeating the leading troops of Xizhou. Most of the villagers are Uighurs and Dangxiang people, and there are also a small number of Han people mixed in. Now that they have entered the Western Region
In the territory under the control of the Zhou Uighurs, the Qi army treated the people in the captured villages and counties with both kindness and power. However, for the Xizhou Uighur people, soldiers from the southern empire suddenly appeared in their homes, although they did not rob them of food or invade them.
Their wives and daughters, slaughtering their people... But after all, there are foreign armored and bladed soldiers patrolling around all day long. Due to the natural barriers between countries and nations in this era, it is inevitable that the people in the local villages will feel panic, and they still
Although he was hostile, he was intimidated by the Qi Dynasty's strong armor and soldiers and had no choice but to obey.
The Qi Dynasty, on the other hand, issued an announcement to appease the people, and informed the local people that because Aslan Khan, the Uighur from Xizhou, was attached to the Liao Dynasty, and now the two countries are at war, the Celestial Dynasty has raised troops here, and the villagers and people in this area can live in peace, as always, with the soldiers of our dynasty.
If we are at peace with each other, we will not disturb or harm each other...
Of course, Xiao Tang knew very well that this was not the Central Plains that the people wanted for him, and he must not be merciful when he needed to kill decisively. However, although the Xizhou Uighurs were followers of the Western Liao Empire during this period, apart from the culture they inherited,
It has a long history and was also influenced by the Han civilization (in the official history of the Song Dynasty, when the Liao Dynasty sent envoys to the Xizhou Uighurs, they said: "Gaochang is native to the Han Dynasty"), and since the Xizhou Uighurs successively surrendered to the Western Liao in the official history,
Mongolia has always adopted a policy of serving powerful countries externally, and used force to intimidate them to switch to the side of the Qi Dynasty. Of course, the additional civilian casualties that will inevitably occur in a war must be kept to a minimum as much as possible.
Among the generals of the Qi Dynasty who were responsible for appeasing the local people and other matters, due to Zhu Tong's temperament, they relatively handled it very appropriately.
He personally went to Chuzhenfang to appease an elder who was willing to submit to the Qi Dynasty. In his house, Zhu Tong saw a three or four-year-old child. The appearance of the little child was obviously different from that of ordinary Han children. He was born with a light blue color.
His eyes, facial features are relatively deep, and his little face is chubby, which is really cute. However, when the child saw the thick beard under Zhu Tong's chin, he suddenly became curious, and for a while, when the adults were not paying attention,
He ran over and stretched out his little hand to grab...
This also made the town elders and several village leaders turn pale with horror. It was originally due to the situation that the people in these counties and villages showed a surrender attitude to Qi Chao in order to protect themselves, even if they came to appease them in person.
The general of the Qi army seems to be a kind and generous man, but if he is offended by a child, who knows that he will not suddenly turn against him and cause death to the local tribesmen?
However, when Zhu Tong looked at the child, he suddenly recalled the small yamen of the prefect's family that he met when he was sent to Cangzhou because of his friendship with Lei Heng. He smiled with emotion, then reached out and picked up the child with ease.
Let him play with his long beard, and smiled at the county elders and village leaders present: "Don't be surprised, everyone, Zhu is also very popular with children, and they can often have fun together. I still press
As mentioned before, with Zhu's guarantee, our army will send troops to the Western Regions. Although we will eventually have a war with the Liao Dynasty to the west, it is not to coexist with the Uighurs in Xizhou. And what does the use of troops by the two countries have to do with ordinary people?
When we have further dealings with the Uyghur Khan, I just want to trouble you all to tell the local villagers to keep their peace..."
Subsequently, the Qi army continued to take advantage of the situation. Although there were still some places where the Uighur tribes invaded and caused chaos, they were quickly suppressed. However, Zhu Dian, who was born with a long beard, beautiful and graceful, not only had a deep sense of loyalty, but was also kind in his conduct.
He went everywhere to appease the local people and contributed a lot to the management of various towns. Until the Xizhou Uighurs began to be inclined to surrender to the Qi Dynasty due to the subsequent direction of the war, Zhu Dian's army was able to return to the Central Plains in accordance with Jun's order. From then on
So he managed the army and the people with peace of mind, and never participated in any large-scale war according to the orders of the imperial court.
Zhu Tong, who was also very popular with children, had a wife and a family full of children. He always worked diligently and diligently in handling his official duties. He was happy to get along with his family in his free time. However, he spent the longest time with Zhu Tong, but he also died on the battlefield.
Lei Heng of Lei Heng already had children, and he was adopted by Zhu Tong as his adopted son. Until Zhu Tong became an official at an advanced age, he enjoyed leisure and happiness at home with his children and grandchildren. The family happiness died without any illness after eleven years, and the Zhu family was reunited with Zhu Tong.
The family background of Lei Heng's son, who was involved in the same relationship, has blossomed and he is also a well-known local family that has been friends for generations...
When the Qi army invaded the Uighurs in Xizhou, there was also a golden retriever named Duan Jingzhu who was dedicated to pacifying the local people. He was originally proficient in Chinese, Jurchen, Khitan, Mongol and Wei languages... However, he was born charred.
Their hair and mustaches are curly, their facial features are relatively deep, and their appearance is very different from the Han, Jurchen, Khitan and other ethnic groups who tend to be East Asian Mongolians. When it comes to the Xizhou Uighur territory, the local people have similar appearances to Duan Jingzhu.
It turns out that the ancestors of his family also moved through the Western Regions to the boundary of Zhuozhou on the Nanjing Road of the Liao Dynasty. Duan Jing was also used by Xiao Tang to use his language talent. He could also speak the Uighur language roughly, and it was relatively easy to recruit the local Uighur villagers in Xizhou.
.
Afterwards, he was transferred back to the Central Plains. Duan Jingzhu was also responsible for receiving diplomatic envoys from various countries, and even acted as an interpreter for the Mongolian Uighurs Wei and other ministers under his rule. A few years later, when the situation in the Western Regions stabilized, he went to Xizhou Uighur Gaochang to open a business
After setting up a horse ranch, he could be with good horses all day long, live happily as a local wealthy man who provided the Qi Dynasty with war horses from the Western Regions, and enjoy the glory with his family...
