After all, Xu Tengyun has Han ancestry, and his father is an old man. He has been influenced by his father since he was a child, which makes him better than the average Shatuo people.
, will never give up his life.
Seeing the doubt in Guo Song's eyes, he quickly said: "Everything I said is true. The Chuyue tribe was not a big tribe in the first place. It was only after uniting with Chumi and other six tribes that Shatuo became what it is today.
How many people died in the Battle of Zhangye, how many people were lost in the Battle of Shazhou, and another 8,000 people were lost today. No matter how rich the family is, they can’t afford to squander it, not to mention that the family wealth is not rich. If the other six tribes know about today’s battle situation, those gangs
The jackals will definitely carve up the vagina."
Of course Guo Song also thought of this. He asked his soldiers to take Zhu Xie Tengyun down to rest, and told him to treat this person well. Zhu Xie Tengyun was so grateful that he saluted repeatedly.
Guo Song then smiled and asked Li Bing: "How to deal with this Zhu Xie Tengyun?"
Li Bing was stunned for a moment and said slowly: "He wants to return to Luoyang, and I have already agreed to it."
Guo Song knew that Li Bing had misunderstood, so he smiled and said: "I'm not saying to kill him, I'm asking, how do you plan to use him?"
Li Bing breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Bizhi was thinking that the value of Zhu Xie Tengyun lies in his father Zhu Xie Jinman. He is an only son. Zhu Xie Jinman must care about him. I think he can take advantage of Zhu Xie."
Jin Man does things for us."
Guo Song nodded, and Li Bing's suggestion went with him.
Guo Song smiled slightly and said: "Ask Zhu Xie Tengyun to write a letter to his father, and you ask him to write like this..."
...........
The battlefield had been cleared, and the army immediately set off towards Jinman County. Still ten miles away from Jinman County, a cavalry galloped over, led by veteran general Yang Xigu.
Guo Song got off his horse and came forward to greet him. Yang Xigu was so excited that he dismounted and stepped forward to hug Guo Song tightly. He couldn't help but burst into tears.
"I knew the envoy would come again. We have been looking forward to this day for thirty years, and the Tang army has finally arrived."
After saying this, he burst into tears.
Guo Song didn't expect that a gray-haired old man would cry like a child in front of him. He felt sad and quickly comforted him with kind words.
Yang Xigu's mood became a little more stable, but he was also a little embarrassed. He wiped away his tears and said with a smile, "I'm a little out of control. Please take the brothers to Jinman County to have a good rest!"
Guo Songxiao asked: "Did you accept the gift I gave to the old general?"
Yang Xigu asked in confusion: "What does the envoy mean?"
"The logistics camp of the Shatuo Army!"
Yang Xigu immediately reacted and said with a smile: "I accepted it, it's so rich, thousands of tents, 100,000 stones of wheat, and more than 300,000 sheep!
"If it's not enough, we also brought 20,000 shi of food."
"It's enough. There are only 15,000 soldiers and civilians in Jinman County. We have never received so much food."
Guo Song smiled, turned around and ordered: "Speed up, let's go to Jinman County to rest!"
The Tang army accelerated its march. Before dark, the army arrived at Jinman County and was warmly welcomed by the soldiers and civilians of Beiting. More than 10,000 soldiers and civilians all left the city and sang and danced to welcome their relatives from afar. When Guo Song appeared, many people still remembered
He rushed to hold his hand.
Yang Xingu waved his hand to calm everyone down. Guo Song looked into the pair of eager eyes. He took a deep breath and said loudly: "There are only one sentence in a thousand words. The days of your suffering are gone forever."
Got it!"
Fifteen thousand soldiers and civilians jumped up and down with excitement, and cheers suddenly filled the sky.
.........
At night, Guo Song sat in the big tent and admired a dozen pieces of the finest mutton-fat jade given to him by Zheng Ju. He had loved Hotan jade and precious stones in his previous life, and this habit was also brought to the Tang Dynasty. He was not tired of the abundance of jade.
Instead, he became even more addicted to it and even brought his wife with him.
However, at this time Guo Song was considering his next action. Shatuo was too dangerous to the Central Plains and he must use this opportunity to eradicate them completely. However, how to arrange Beiting next would really take a lot of thinking.
Beiting is not like Anxi. The biggest threat to Anxi is Tubo, which is declining in national power and will not come over for the time being. But Beiting is different. If the Uighur agents in Beiting are killed by themselves, will they give up and abandon Beiting? And Ge Luo
Lu, although they are currently experiencing civil strife, will they continue to invade Beiting once the civil strife ends?
The answers to these questions are actually self-evident. The key is what should you do?
Guo Song put down the jade in his hand, walked to the door of the tent with his hands behind his back, and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
The army was stationed outside Jinman County. Although there was a large open space in the northwest corner of the city, it was full of beans. Guo Song still asked the Tang army to camp outside the city.
At this time, the soldiers on the side reported: "Your Majesty, General Yang wants to see you!"
When Guo Song turned around, he saw Yang Xigu standing aside, looking at him with a smile. Guo Song quickly smiled and said: "Old General, please come quickly!"
Guo Song invited Yang Xigu into the big tent. The two of them sat down separately, and a soldier served them tea.
Guo Song asked: "Has the old general ever considered returning to his hometown to take care of himself?"
Yang Xigu shook his head, "My two sons died in the battle in Tingzhou, and my old wife also died of illness here. I am alone. This is my home. As long as I am here, I will guard the territory for the Tang Dynasty."
, but I am already seventy-two years old and have only a few years to live. From now on, I will be able to guard the country’s borders and look forward to the envoy!”
Guo Song nodded and said: "I will leave Pei Xin in Yizhou and let him help you protect your home and country."
"General Pei is a good general, and he has the style of a famous general. But if you leave him in Yizhou, do you intend to drive Shatuo to death?" Yang Xigu asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"I'm just trying to discuss this issue with the old general. Does the old general have any good suggestions?"
Yang Xigu pondered for a while and said: "The core of Shatuo is the Chuyue tribe. This tribe is very ambitious. It conquers east and west. It forms an alliance with Chumi tribe and Prebranch tribe. It also controls Lieshan tribe, Wusun tribe, Jinshan tribe and
Yiwu tribe, I think this can be divided into two parts: the ambitious and aggressive tribes must be resolutely annihilated, and the gentle tribes who just want to keep their land and live a herding life should be won over."
"The Chuyue tribe is no longer needed. What does the old general think of the other six tribes?"
Yang Xigu smiled slightly and said: "I have been in Beiting for forty years, and I still know these tribes relatively well. The Chumi tribe, the Pre-Branch tribe, and the Chuyue tribe are actually the same tribe, but the Chuyue tribe has the largest number of people and the strongest strength.
He has just taken the leadership position. If the Chumi Department is in power, it is actually the same Shatuo. The Pre-Branch Department is the same thing. The Chumi Department and the Pre-Branch Department are opposed to the Chuyue Department, and they just want to compete for dominance.
The four tribes, Lieshan tribe, Wusun tribe, Jinshan tribe and Yiwu tribe, resisted Chuyue tribe in order to survive. First of all, their races were different. These four tribes were all Wusun people native to Beiting.
Yue, Chumi and Qianzhi are Tufer people, do you understand?"
Guo Song nodded slowly, "I probably understand!"
........
The Shatuo people's home base is in Yiwu City, but only the ruling class of the Shatuo people live in this city. A large number of nomadic tribes are distributed in the south of Jinshan Mountain and north of Tianshan Mountain in northern Yizhou.
The population of Yiwu City is not large, only two to three thousand people, and the rest are stationed by the army.
There is a large mansion in the south of Yiwu City. This is the mansion of Ye Hu Zhu Xie Jinman. Zhu Xie Jinman lived in the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years. His first wife was a Han dancer from Luoyang.
He gave birth to his only son Zhu Xie Tengyun. After his wife died of illness, he married the daughter of the chief of the Chumi Department as his wife according to his father's arrangement, but his wife never gave him a child.
The former Khan Zhu Xie Jinding, Zhu Xie Weiming and Zhu Xie Jinhai who died in Hexi were all born to the old Khan's first wife. Although Zhu Xie Jinman was the eldest son, he was a concubine and had no status.
It was only after he had studied in the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years that his nephew Zhu Xieliang appointed him prime minister, but he did not have military power.
Because Zhu Xie Jinman lived in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, his mansion was full of Central Plains style, with carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions, rockeries, ponds and fish. However, his wife from the Secret Service disliked it very much, and even hated it very much.
Half of the back house was demolished and a few tents were set up to live in.
The two had a political marriage and had no children. Their relationship had always been cold and they basically lived their own lives for more than ten years.
At this time, Zhu Xie Jinman had received the news that Zhu Xie Moshan was defeated in Tingzhou and the entire army was destroyed. His only son was in the army! Zhu Xie Jinman was so anxious that he suddenly fell ill.
But at night, Zhu Xie Jinman received unexpected news. His son sent someone to deliver a letter to him. He sat up immediately.
"Where is the messenger?" Zhu Xiejinman asked urgently.
