Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3264
Khotan is located in the south of the desert, north of Kunlun, and borders Tubo across the Kunlun Mountains. Although it has abundant water and grass and a warm climate, it is not a strategically important place.

Tumidu's complexion was very ugly, he drank his wine with a sullen face, and was speechless for a while.

Fang Jun's face was calm and calm, while pouring wine for Tumidu, he said in a persuasive manner, "At present, it is really a great change that has never happened in a thousand years in the Western Regions. The Arabs invaded, the Turks took advantage of the fire to loot, and the Tang army retreated step by step... Originally, if you wanted to It may take 50 or even 100 years for the order of the Western Regions to be broken, but after this war, everything in the Western Regions will be overthrown and restarted. It’s a god-given opportunity. If you miss this time, wait until the overall situation in the Western Regions is settled, and then think about taking millet out of the fire like now, I’m afraid there will be no chance.”

It was very hot, and it became more and more intense. When I vomited and took a sip of wine, I felt bitter in my mouth.

He had to admit that Fang Jun might not be a very good lobbyist, and he didn't have those extravagant descriptions, but every word and sentence made sense. He even analyzed the situation in the Western Regions and told him bit by bit. .

However, the more so, the more he felt that he could not miss this opportunity.

Otherwise, wait until the Tang army drives out the Arabs, defeats the Turks, takes control of the entire Western Regions, and even mobilizes domestic refugees and prisoners to enrich the Western Regions, turning this vast world into the county capital of the Tang Dynasty, where are the Huihe people? There is still a chance to occupy a place and become a whole?
Either attach to the Tang Dynasty and be gradually assimilated by the migrating inland like the Turkic defeated army, or simply escape to the desert and the wilderness of northern Saibei, so as not to be crushed into powder by the invincible soldiers of the Tang army.

It's just that if Fang Jun's conditions are agreed, his dream of establishing the Huihe Khanate will be completely shattered. Even after a few years of taking refuge under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, the name "Huihe" may disappear, and future generations will be completely destroyed. Into the Tang people.

On "tolerance" and "assimilation", since ancient times, the Han people have been alone in the world...

Tumidu was drinking wine, listening to the howling wind and snowflakes outside the pavilion, his mind was in a mess.

Fang Jun didn't force him too much, he smiled and took a sip of wine, and said calmly: "If Da Khan can't make a decision for a while, you might as well go back and think about it. It's just to teach Da Khan to know that if you have Huihe's help, I will kill you naturally." There will always be victory in capturing the flag, but even if there is no Huihe, the Right Tunwei can still run rampant in the Western Regions, at least that General Ashina Helu is completely out of my commander's sight."

As he said that, he put down his wine glass, stood up, and said condescendingly: "Today, I am destined to enjoy the snow and taste wine with Khan, and express my feelings freely. I only hope to meet again someday. You and I are enemies, not friends. This commander bid farewell!"

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Tumidu let out a long sigh from the bottom of his heart, his voice was a little hoarse, and he said in a sluggish voice, "Mr. Yue stay!"

Fang Jun paused and curled his mouth, but when he turned around, his expression returned to normal, and he smiled and said, "Have you thought it through?"

Tu Midu drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said with a wry smile: "How can you not think clearly? It's just that the extravagant hope for the founding of the country is hard to let go. Just as the Duke of Yue said, Huihe looks fierce, but the tribe is few and bloody. It is not enough to support the separatism of the world and stand on its own. Even if it is barely done, it will become the prey of all parties. Instead, it will become the target of public criticism. The gain is not worth the loss. It is better to take shelter under the wings of the Tang Dynasty and fight for a warm and peaceful land for future generations , able to prosper and thrive, and no longer be enslaved by alien races."

With emotion, he stood up, stretched out his palm, and said solemnly: "Ben Khan does not dare to claim to be wise, but he is not an idiot either. How can he not know how to choose? I just hope that the Duke of Yue can remember today's covenant, and the future will be great for the Tang Dynasty." When unifying the Western Regions, don't break your oath, break your word and get fat!"

Fang Jun also raised his palms, and instead of high-fiving, he swore: "A gentleman can never catch a horse!"

The two palms clashed three times, the two looked at each other, and laughed out loud together.

Outside the Yuting, the soldiers of the two teams who had been at war with each other finally took a step back after hearing the laughter, and the atmosphere eased somewhat.

Fang Jun said: "Since the contract has been reached, the commander-in-chief will leave first, and we will keep in touch later, depending on the actions of the Turks, we will discuss the battle strategy."

Tu Midu nodded and said: "That's right, Ben Khan will accurately inform the whereabouts of the Turkic people, and then obey the command of the Duke of Yue, and work together to wipe out the powerful enemy! It's just that Ashina Helu was originally a man of Yugu. Khan's confidant, Yugushi Khan was conspired by his subordinates to rebel and fled to Tochara. Ashina Helu was hunted down by Yibi Shekui Khan and had to surrender. Not only did he have no loyalty Heart, treacherous and cunning, but also powerful, the Duke of Yue must not underestimate him."

Right now, Turks are in an extremely chaotic situation. At the same time, there are actually two khans coexisting...

In fact, Shidianmi Khan's expedition to the West that year later caused the Turkic Khanate to split into two countries, the West and the West.After the death of Eastern Turkic Shibi Khan, the position of Great Khan was seized by his younger brother Chuluo Khan, and his sons were scattered and withered. One of his sons, Yugu, entered West Turkic Khan westward and established himself as Yipidulu Khan. Zhongdulu's five tribes, built in Shanxi, were called Beiting; Shaboluo Helishi Khan only governed the five nushibi tribes, called Nanting.

In the 13th year of Zhenguan, Yugushe defeated Shaboluo and lost Khan, and gained the power of Western Turks, and the latter was defeated.

Shaboluo Lisha Khan was the orthodox of the Western Turks. After its defeat, the various tribes of the Western Turks were unwilling to establish a rule, and they secretly contacted and rebelled. Kui Khan raised troops against Yugushe and defeated him. The latter had to flee to Tocharian.

However, although Yibi Shekui Khan regained his father's and grandfather's family property, he has not been able to completely wipe out the Tugu Snake, which led to the factions in the West Turks to fight against each other.

If not, Tu Midu might not have dared to lead his people to join Datang and act as the inner ghost...

*****
midnight.

A hundred miles west of Jiaohe City, in a mountain depression, is the station of the Right Tunwei.

Fang Jun returned to the camp overnight. As soon as he approached the Chinese military tent to shake off the snow from his body, take off his cotton-padded clothes and bamboo hats, and before he had a sip of hot tea, Pei Xingjian and Cheng Wuting arrived one after another.

"call!"

After taking a sip of strong wine, Fang Jun let out a long breath of cold air, rubbed his legs that were about to freeze, and finally eased up a little.

Generally speaking, the Tang army strictly drinks alcohol, but this rule does not apply to the Anxi army.The Anxi army has been guarding the western frontier all year round, and it has been in the cold, storm and snow for more than half a year. It is really difficult to warm up the body and stomach if there is no wine in normal times.

Putting down the jug, seeing Pei Xingjian and Cheng Wuting all staring at him, Fang Jun grinned, patted his legs, and said, "You're done!"

"The handsome is mighty!"

"God help me too!"

The two immediately became excited and couldn't help cheering.

At the beginning when Li Ji led the army to march westward, the Turkic people fled for thousands of miles, throwing away their helmets and armor, and the entire Western Region fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty. However, it is undeniable that the Turkic influence in the Western Region has always existed. The territory that has been occupied for decades, especially the Hu people in the Western Regions are afraid of its power. Even though they are attached to the Tang Dynasty on the surface, they still communicate with the Turkic people secretly.

You Tunwei wanted to wipe out a powerful Turkic army in the Western Regions, but it was almost impossible to complete.

For one thing, most of the Turkic people were mainly cavalry, and they could run thousands of miles away with one blow, so it was impossible to catch up and wipe them out. Moreover, all the tribes in the Western Regions were coerced by them, and they often sent out reports, so it was almost impossible to set up an ambush.

But with the help of Huihe, the situation is completely different.

As the existence of the power in the Western Regions second only to the Turks among the tribes of Tiele, a little Huihe rebellion acts as an internal response, which can not only reveal the whereabouts of the Turks accurately, but also cut off the retreat of the Turks. It can form a situation of catching a turtle in a urn, and unless the Turkic people can grow wings, it will be impossible to escape.

More importantly, once Huihe returned to the Tang Dynasty, it could directly march westward to support the Anxi Army at the Youtunwei Joint Army.

The Anxi Army, Youtunwei, and Huihe, together, these three parties can fight a fierce battle with the Arabs!
It can be said that the return of Huihe has fundamentally reversed the unfavorable situation of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, and the occupation has changed since then. How can the two not be ecstatic?
Once the Turkic people are wiped out, the Arabs are defeated, and the Western Regions are stabilized, it will be a great feat. It is not inferior to that of Xue Yantuo when the soldiers came out of the white way, and even surpassed it!
