Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3292 The Situation

First of all, Ashina Helu is not a direct descendant of Yibi Shekui Khan, and is even considered the biggest opposition in the Turkic Yazan.Because he bears the imprint set by the former Khan Yugu on his body, he is supported by many tribes. As long as he is around, Yibi Shekui will not sleep at night, like a sharp cone in a pan, and he will bite back at all times.

If the Turkic internal division is divided, it will be impossible to carry out large-scale actions to conspire against the Tang Dynasty, and even a little push can make Ashina Helu and Yipi Shekui turn against each other, provoke a war within the Turkic, and cause it to fall into civil strife. The benefits are naturally greater.

Secondly, once Ashina Helu returns to Turkic, he will inevitably publicize the fact that the Uyghurs rebelled against the enemy in order to cover up his guilt of the defeat.

Even if Yibishekui Khan tolerated the behavior of the Huihe people because he wanted to unite all the tribes to strengthen the Turks, Ashina Helu would definitely pursue it to the end and kill the Huihe people, thus completely pushing the Huihe people to the side of the Tang Dynasty.

Don't think that the Huihe people are just attached to the Turkic people and are enslaved by them. In fact, the power of the Huihe people should not be underestimated.

It was from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty that the Huihe people got rid of the control of the Turks and began to grow gradually, and then became a force that cannot be ignored in the entire Western Region.

Just look at another name of the Huihe people, "Uyur", and you will know how powerful he is...

If such a tribe is allowed to multiply and expand crazily, that scene in history will appear, and it will gradually become the confidant of Datang.

Only by controlling it with the hands of Datang and controlling its development can it cut off the sprout of its prosperity...

Without Ashina Helu's strong revenge, no one knows whether Yibishekui will hold the Huihe people accountable for their treason. Huihe, who is not bad in strength, ruthlessly kills the killer.

Therefore, whether the Turkic people will slaughter the Uyghur people is suddenly uncertain.

If the Turkic people's attitude is not strong enough, and the reaction is not strong enough, Tumidu may not be willing to move his family south and completely attach himself to Datang...

……

Fang Jun sat back in his seat, thought for a while, and said: "The news about this matter is blocked, and we can't leak anything for the time being, lest you get lucky and change your mind."

For Tumidu, his heart and mind is to lead the Huihe people to establish a country and establish a career. As for whether he is enslaved by the Turks or attached to the Tang Dynasty, the difference is not much.If he hadn't tricked him once, causing Huihe to give Turkic a backstab, so he was afraid of being liquidated by Turkic, and he might not have moved his family to completely attach himself to Datang.

Of course I had fooled Tumidu before, but Tumidu’s so-called attachment to the Tang Dynasty is naturally irrational. The real wish of the Huihe people is probably to help the Tang army wipe out the Ashina Helu tribe without anyone knowing it, and then they will have a good time and please both sides. .

But he didn't want to be tricked severely by himself, leading to a complete break with Turk...

However, the matter has come to this point, who would have thought that Ashina Helu could escape from the massacre of thousands of armies, but met two unknown soldiers by accident and lost his life?

Time is also life.

Pei Xingjian nodded, and said: "It's okay, I will go to Jiaohe City first on this trip, and then I will accompany Tumidu to Luntai City, send him back to the north of Tianshan Mountain, and wait for his family to move south. The commander can go to Baishui Town first Cleaning up the mess and waiting for Tumidu to join him after returning will probably take at most a month. When the Huihe army joins forces with Youtunwei to support Gongyue City, the chances of winning will naturally increase."

But Fang Jun shook his head and said: "The war in the Western Regions is rotten and the Arabs are unstoppable. How can it be so easy to turn defeat into victory? The top priority right now is still to rectify the Anxi Protectorate. Since the beginning of the day, everyone from top to bottom has been controlled by him. Before Guo Xiaoke was defeated and died in Qiuci, there may not be any hands of the Guanlongmen Clan. If his power cannot be completely eliminated, it will always be a hidden danger. Who knows this Are you colluding with the Turks to copy the Anxi Army's retreat?"

The reasoning is naturally so, but the Guanlongmen faction has operated the Western Regions for many years, and it is naturally difficult to eradicate their power once.

Fortunately, the Western Regions are different from the mainland, where military control is implemented everywhere, so as long as the general guards and the Anxi Army are determined, things will be much easier.

Of course, if you want to eliminate the Guanlongmen faction, the Anxi army will bear the brunt. Whether it can maintain the combat effectiveness of the Anxi army while eliminating the Guanlongmen faction is a big question.

Pei Xingjian didn't take this seriously: "The imperial court was scruples about the matter of collaborating with the enemy and treason of the Guanlongmen faction, and there was no conclusion for a while. There will be a confrontation in the court, and the exchange of various interests will take time. This is one of them. Furthermore, for the sake of safety, His Highness the Crown Prince may not dare to take drastic measures to bring those collaborators and treacherous traitors to justice one by one. Above all, the court still demands stability. Even if His Majesty returns to Chang'an at this moment, he may not be able to use thunderous means. ...But in the Western Regions, we don't have to worry too much, the Guanlong clan made mistakes first, so they are naturally guilty, even if we go too far, they will definitely keep a low profile and bear it."

The crown prince's power overseeing the country is naturally not as stable as His Majesty's. If the punishment is too harsh, it will force Guan Longmen to take risks.

However, the Guanlongmen faction committed a heinous crime, so how can they not be afraid that the court will first convict him of treason and then punish him severely?

Neither the imperial court nor the Guanlongmen faction dared to tear their faces apart first, because that would mean forcing the other side to take a more violent path, which neither side wanted to see.

In the final analysis, no matter how unscrupulous the Guanlong Clan is in the Western Regions, no matter how daring to collude with the Turks and Dashi, what they are doing is only for the benefit of the family, but they are not sincerely seeking to overthrow the Tang Dynasty and change the dynasty. , destroy Li Tang and replace him.

It is conceivable that when the news of the Western Regions is reported to Chang'an, there must be a short period of silence. The two sides will test each other in private, and it will not be life or death.

There is no such thing as black and white, right or wrong in this world, there is only the exchange of interests and mutual compromise...

And Shuangfa's tacit understanding of forbearance just gave Fang Jun an opportunity to drastically rectify Anxi Dufu.

No matter how cruel Fang Jun's methods are, Guan Longmen Clan can only bear with it at this critical moment, not daring to react too violently, for fear that the crown prince will ignore it and suddenly strike ruthlessly...

Fang Jun stroked the short mustache on his lips and pondered for a long time before slowly nodding his head.

Although this matter is somewhat risky, the Guanlong Clan may not allow themselves to uproot the forces rooted in the Western Regions, but in terms of rectifying the Anxi Protectorate and eliminating the worries of the Anxi Army, this risk is worth taking.

"You are fully responsible for this matter. If it is not good for me to come forward directly, I will lead troops to garrison Baishui Town to deter the Guanlongmen Clan for you. If anyone dares to act recklessly, the army will enter Jiaohe City! Bring Ju Wendou and Chimu Haiya with you. These two people know the ups and downs of Jiaohe City like palm prints, so they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Since these two people choose to attach themselves to Datang, it is natural to let them openly stand on Datang's side in a public place, so that everyone in the world can clearly understand their position, and completely cut off the possibility of their two sides, both sides, and the future. After that, he worked hard for Datang down-to-earth.

Although he didn't say this, Pei Xingjian understood Fang Jun's intention immediately, and said: "Don't worry, Commander, the general will know how to do it."

Fang Jun said with a smile: "You do things, so I can rest assured. In the past few years, you have experienced it. If this Western Expedition can turn defeat into victory and drive out the Tartars, after returning to Chang'an, I will definitely protect you as a servant of the Six Departments. Who would dare If you object, I will lock down his house!"

Pei Xingjian bowed to express his gratitude, but facing the temptation of such a high-ranking official with a generous salary, his expression was as usual, and he said with a smile: "Don't be like this, the commander-in-chief. The general is still young, and it is very easy to run errands and do things with the prince and the commander-in-chief." I have learned a lot. Official positions and titles are placed there, as long as the general is practical and loyal to His Highness, sooner or later it will be at your fingertips, and there is no rush."

Fang Jun's respect for him is well known in the government and the public, so how could he not know it?This trust is so important that it is almost completely uncovered, making Pei Xingjian grateful, but he can only "die for his confidant", but he can't say any flattering words.

It's useless to say it well, it just depends on how he will do it in the future.

That night, the Right Tunwei rested up and down for the night, and at dawn the next day, they lit a fire to cook food. After eating breakfast, the army marched out of camp against the wind and snow.

Pei Xingjian first went to Jiaohe City to join Cheng Wuting, and rectified the officials in the Anxi Dufu Mansion. Arresting people and killing people was inevitable. Tu Midu accompanied him, and then rushed to Luntai City, and from there went north through the North Tianshan Pass, returning to the family Gather the clansmen to move southward.

Fang Jun led the right guards to station in Baishui Town to deter the countries in the Western Regions.

At the same time, the two battle reports were sent to Chang'an and Gongyue City respectively. On the surface, they did not cause too much shock, but in fact they were undercurrents...
