In early May of the twelfth year of Tianbao, Duan Xiushi, who was left behind in Beiting, personally led the Han navy to dispatch and sent a messenger to inform Xigeluolu Yehu that they would not accept the Absi tribe who had returned to surrender.
In mid-June, Duan Xiushi led his troops across the Altai Mountains and encountered Absi's tribe on the alpine pastures. The two sides were about to enter a fight.
While Duan Xiushi ordered his troops to stand ready, he went to the front of the two armies and shouted to Abu Si.
The task given to him by Li Siye was to collect the rest of Abu Si's troops as a whole, but Abu Si and his wife had to be taken to Chang'an because his charge of rebellion had been determined. Even Li Siye could not protect him against the pressure of the court. There was real room for maneuver.
If it is too small, the talks may collapse in a minute and lead to a big war. Conquering the enemy without fighting is the highest theoretical level of military strategists, but it is too difficult to realize.
The Absi tribe was originally a Tiele tribe that relied on the post-Turkic people. It had tens of thousands of elite cavalry under its command. It was precisely because they were coveted by Anlu Mountain that they were forced to rebel. Now in the process of Anlu Mountain chasing them,
He lured many of Absi's tribe to surrender, providing him with a solid foundation of strength for future rebellions.
If all the remaining troops of Absi could be incorporated, Beiting's military strength would be comprehensively improved to a new level. Li Siye sent three official documents in a row, asking Duan Xiushi not to let them slip away under any circumstances.
"Abu Si tribe, I am Duan Xiushi, the envoy of Beiting under the command of Li Siye, the Jiedushi envoy of the three towns. I would like to ask Li Xianzhong, the loyal king, to come out and have a talk. This is related to the life and death of your tribe."
Absi's military formation on the opposite side was filled with darkness, like a flock of silent crows. This forbearing silence gave people a sense of suppressed grief and anger, like a dull powder keg that could be ignited at a moment's notice.
"King Fengxin, this is Beiting, not Shuofang, nor Hedong and Fanyang in Anlu Mountain. If you don't think about yourself, don't you think about your tribe and your family? Our doctors know your grievances
, but the matter has come to this, why bother to resist the imperial court to the end?"
"Fart, this is Abu Si, not Li Xianzhong! I will give back the bullshit King of Faith that your emperor bestowed upon me!" Abu Si roared as angry as a bear in the crowd: "You Tang people are cunning and deceitful. You deceived me, Abu."
I have no one to rely on! You Beiting and Anlu Mountain are the same as each other. If you want to fight, you can fight, so why bother showing off here. I, a man from Tiele, will never tolerate humiliation and live in vain, and I will not make the same mistakes again even if I fight to the last man!"
"You will never live an ignoble existence?" Duan Xiushi asked loudly: "I heard that An Lushan recruited many members of your tribe. When they surrendered, did they ever think that they would not tolerate humiliation and live in idiocy? An Lushan is your biggest enemy.
, they abandoned you and surrendered to the enemy, what can Abu Si Yehu do?"
There was another silence in Absi's military formation, and then there was a bustling commotion in the team. The military formation slowly separated to both sides, and a man riding a black horse and wearing a black fur slowly walked out and stood in front of the formation.
His face was sallow and gloomy, and his eyes were bloodshot with hidden anger. The golden light armor on his body was originally given by the saint, but now it has become damaged. This shows that he must have experienced countless bloody battles along the way.
.
He looked at Duan Xiushi opposite and asked bitterly: "General Duan, why do you have to humiliate me again and again? If you want to take my head to claim merit from your Majesty, just come and take it, why bother talking here!"
Duan Xiushi sighed, his tone full of regret: "If I just want your head, why bother with you here? Do you know why Geluolu Yehu didn't show up here today? Why didn't he treat us as a child?
Are you coerced and coerced to attack you? Because Dr. Li knows the general's grievances. I believe that the king was an official in the court in the past, so he should know that my doctor has always had a problem with An Lushan. As the saying goes, the enemy of our enemy is our friend. I believe
King, if one day someone can redress your grievances and seek justice for you, it must be Dr. Li!"
"Really," Abbs had a puzzled look on his face, and it seemed that he felt relieved. "So you are here to recruit me on behalf of your Dr. Li? How dare you surrender to someone like me who then rebels again?"
Surrender? Can you keep me alive after you surrender?"
"No." Duan Xiushi answered simply, making Absi's eyes widen in shock. The Tang people were really shameless, they kept saying they would give him a way to live, but what they gave him was a dead end.
"King Fengxin, you don't have to look at me like this. I can't promise you what Doctor Li can't do. But your people can have a way out, and your two youngest sons, Doctor Li, can also save them. As long as the general is willing to let you
If you put down your weapons, your Albus bloodline can continue."
This situation made Arbus feel extremely ironic, and he laughed angrily: "The conditions offered by Dr. Li are indeed very generous, very good, very good, ha!"
His followers knelt on the ground and admonished Absi: "Ye Hu, you must not do this! The court cannot be gullible. We are willing to follow Ye Hu to carve out a world in Mobei, and we will never treat others like dogs again!"
Duan Xiushi took the opportunity to confuse him loudly: "King Fengxin, you should believe in me and Doctor Li. Except for us in Beiting, you will never find any place in the world. No one offers more generous terms than us."
The tribesmen were still admonishing them hard, and some even burst into tears, which made Albus, who was holding the horse's reins, confused. This was the end of the road for a hero.
"You don't need to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind. Instead of wiping out the entire army, it would be better for me to find a way out for you. Everyone, put down your weapons!"
Absi's men began to dismount and threw the horn bows and scimitars in their hands on the ground. Duan Xiushi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He rode forward alone, opened his arms and said with a smile: "I asked the nearby Shatuo
The tribe sent some sheep, and tonight we will eat meat and drink wine at the foot of the Jinshan Mountain. If we have wine today, we will get drunk today, no matter how bad the storm is tomorrow!"
"Okay." Absi is really a man. He put away the sadness and anger on his face and put on a rather forced smile. Months of running around and fleeing have also made him exhausted physically and mentally. At this moment, he feels like letting go of his defenses.
Extremely easy.
It was night, and bonfires were dotted under the vast Jinshan Mountain. Han Haijun and the remaining members of Absi sat together, slaughtering sheep and grilling the whole skinned sheep on the fire. Drunk people danced on the grass,
A song that sounded like weeping.
Absi sat on a tree trunk with his princess, called his two young sons to his side, stroked the children's heads one by one, and then sighed quietly and said to Duan Xiushi: "I wonder how General Duan will arrange for our children?"
"Doctor Li had already thought of a way when he ordered me to come. In order to ensure their safety, they cannot stay in Anxi, Beiting or anywhere in Hexi."
Absi's face suddenly darkened: "What? Are you still going to kill us all in the end?"
"King Fengxin, you have misunderstood." Duan Xiushi explained quickly: "Doctor Li has already placed the Yonghui Army in the river, the homeland of the Sogdians. He is going to let your two children go to the Yonghui Army to practice first. What are you doing?
The tribe was separately organized into the Jiaohe Army in Beiting. When An Lushan's conspiracy is exposed in the future, he will definitely vindicate you. When the time comes, he will take your children back to Beiting, and the two of them will serve as the military envoys of the Jiaohe Army. Do you think this is a good idea?
good?"
Absi stroked his beard and nodded: "As expected of Dr. Li, he is really thoughtful."
In the early morning of the next day, Duan Xiushi's squadron returned to Beiting and immediately sent someone to deliver an official document to Liangzhou, announcing the success in recruiting the remnants of Abu Si's troops. The Abu Si's originally had more than 60,000 people. After fleeing and losing money in the Uighur war, they also passed through Anlu.
Shan led the army to pursue and lure him to surrender. Now there are only 12,000 people left. But these 12,000 people are the remaining elites who were eliminated after the bloody battle. They are not comparable to those who were recruited by An Lushan. As a result, in the three towns of Longyou
The total strength of Beiting Jiedu reached 32,000 people, which accumulated strong strength for the northwest feudal town controlled by Li Siye.
