Chapter 512

Wars between the Central Plains dynasty and nomadic tribes usually ended in victory.

After all, the gap between the two sides in terms of national strength, population, economy, technology, etc. is too great.

Under normal circumstances, the difficulty of a war between the two sides is not how to win, but how to find an opponent.

This time Li Yunze led his army to Mobei, but encountered an unexpected situation.

The later Turkic Baimei Khan didn't know what he was thinking, maybe he hadn't been beaten violently by the Tang army for a long time, and felt that the Tang army came from afar to take advantage of it, so he concentrated all the forces he could concentrate, known as 40 people who controlled the strings.

Baimei Khan concentrated his forces in Heisha, Nanting, and prepared to fight to the death with the Tang army.

Faced with this unexpected surprise, Li Yunze naturally accepted it with a smile, and hurried over with the army, fearing that Baimei Khan would wake up and run away again.

A decisive battle with the main force of the Tang army in an open field is undoubtedly courting death.

The two sides lined up for a battle.

No matter which world he was in, Li Yunze's tactics were basically the same.

The infantry formed a large formation to entangle the enemy.

The cavalry are hammers, and the two wings attack and attack the flanks.

The tactics are simple, but it is very easy to use when the strength is strong.

The Turks a hundred years ago could not beat the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks a hundred years later are still no match for the Tang Dynasty.

Winning without any surprise, the vassal tribal cavalry and the cavalry of the Tang Army embarked on a frantic pursuit.

The Turkic people, mainly cavalry, ran very fast when they fled, but the Tang army also had a lot of cavalry, unlike the Song and Ming Dynasties, which were unable to expand their battle results due to the lack of cavalry.

The cavalry of the Tang Army pursued frantically, from Heisha in Nanting in Mobei to Beiting in Yudujun Mountain in Mobei.

The Baimei Khan who was being chased didn't even dare to stay in Beiting, and abandoned Ke Dun and his goods in Beiting, trying to stop the pursuit of the Tang army.

But Tang Jun only arranged some people to occupy Beiting, and the rest of them were still chasing wildly.

This chase really spanned the entire Mobei, all the way to the coast of the North Sea.

The unfrozen North Sea was vast and misty, and Baimei Khan, whose last horse was exhausted, finally collapsed on the shore in despair.

At this time, he no longer had any subordinates by his side.

Either he abandoned him or he took the initiative to stay to block Tang Jun, or he disappeared after giving him the horse.

Kneeling alone on the shore of the North Sea, his eyes were full of confusion.

A few seals leaned over curiously, and shouted 'highly' at the white-browed Khan.

The white-browed Khan looked at the seals in a daze, his long-term hunger gave him strength, he pulled out the dagger inlaid with gems, and stabbed fiercely at the nearest seal.

Cut open the thick seal skin, and bite directly as if drinking blood.

While eating, Baimei Khan suddenly burst into tears, the cry was like the neighing of a night owl, scaring the nearby animals to flee and scatter.

He went to the decisive battle with full confidence, but in the end he lost everything.

At this moment, even the last horse beside him was exhausted to death.

Despair rose in his heart, Baimei Khan wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth, slowly got up and walked towards the vast North Sea step by step.

Chased all the way to Anlu Mountain in Beihai, found the horse that Baimei Khan was exhausted to death, and even found the seal that had only eaten a few bites.

But there was no trace of Baimei Khan.

Seeing that the great feat of capturing the enemy chieftain was in front of him, but he couldn't catch it. He went all over Anlu Mountain, where there was no harvest, and jumped angrily and cursed.

Li Yunze didn't pay much attention to this matter.

He has no interest in gathering the enemy King Khan and Chief Khan to form a song and dance troupe.

Even if Baimei Khan escaped, it didn't matter, he couldn't make waves after the Turks perished.

At this moment, on the entire prairie that spans thousands of miles, there is only the existence of such a large tribe as Huihe.

As for Xue Yantuo, who was once powerful, he has perished a hundred years ago.

When Li Yunze was thinking about how to attack Huihe, Pei Luo Khan, the strength of Huihe, had already come to look for him in person.

"Chen Guli Pei Luo, pay homage to Heaven Khan~~~"

Gu Li Pei Luo, with a beard all over his face, came up to offer flattery, and once again took out the traditional title of Tian Khan.

Among other things, this attitude was immediately apparent.

Although Li Yunze didn't care about this kind of flattery, and knew that it was a common method used by the nomads when Middle-earth was strong, he said with a smile on his face, "Guli Peiluo Khan, what's the matter?"

"Heavenly Khan dare not call him Khan in person."

Gu Li Pei Luo, who was frightened, lowered his head hastily, "I'm here this time to meet Tian Khan."

In fact, I don't even know it, but I was frightened by the Tang Dynasty's autumn wind sweeping across the prairie like fallen leaves.

Afraid that he would become the next target, he could only hurry over and beg to let him go.

As for face or something, my hometown is going to be gone, so how can I care about face?
Li Yunze quietly looked at Guli Khan Pei Luo, his face was firm and his eyes were bright, even when he was saluting, he subconsciously straightened his waist.

No wonder it was able to defeat the Turks in history, occupy the prairie and the Western Regions, and become the overlord before the rise of Khitan.

But he didn't know that Pei Luo Khan, who had lowered his head at this moment, was drenched in cold sweat.

Datang was too terrifying, the entire prairie was swept away directly.

It is said that even the powerful Tubo has been wiped out by Tang Dynasty.

Looking around Datang, he became the biggest one, who would not be afraid?
At this time, Guli Pei Luo Khan was most afraid of hearing Li Yunze say, "The Tang Dynasty has pacified the grasslands, why don't you also pacify Huihe?" '

While thinking wildly in my mind, I heard Li Yunze say, "The Great Tang has pacified the grasslands, what's Huihe's plan?"

Guli Pei Luo Khan looked up at Li Yunze in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After being silent for a long time, Khan Guli Pei Luo bowed again and saluted, "Huihe is willing to be a minister and pay tribute, and be a vassal of the Tang Dynasty for generations."

It's another set of professing ministers and paying tribute.

No one knows better than Li Yunze what it means to be a minister and pay tribute.

To put it simply, when the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, they called themselves younger brothers and asked for maintenance. When the Central Plains Dynasty was in decline, they would immediately show their fangs.

During the time of the five-hu, the time of the two-legged sheep, and many other times, it was like this every time.

It's okay to fool others with this matter, but it's not okay to fool Li Yunze.

"How about this."

Li Yunze said indifferently, "I'm about to crusade against the land in the far west, and the Huihe tribes will first move to the vicinity of Beiting Capital Protector's Mansion. When I order to send out troops, what does Khan think?"

In other words, all the tribes of Huihe should be driven to the Western Regions.

Guli Peiluo Khan deliberately refused, the prairie was their root after all, and now that the prairie is empty, it is a good time for them to return to Hokage to rise.

At this time, he migrated to the Western Regions, and listened to the meaning, but also went to the Far West.
"Heaven Khan"

Guli Pei Luo Khan opened his mouth to say something, but he met Li Yunze's half-smiling gaze.

His following words were directly swallowed back.

Guli Pei Luo Khan is very clear that if he refuses now, he is very clear that if he refuses, the troops of Tang Dynasty will send troops tomorrow!

He felt that Huihe was actually very strong, at least not as bad as the Turks.

But the problem is that in front of Datang, the post-Turks were wiped out in an understatement.

Switching to Huihe, it is estimated that it is similar.

"Ok?"

Li Yunze snorted slightly dissatisfied, "Could it be that you don't want to?"

Khan Pei Luo gave a shock, and hurriedly saluted, "Huihe is willing to obey Khan's order."

"Since you are willing to obey my orders, then don't play tricks."

Li Yunze laughed lightly, "If you do something yin and yang, and secretly leave the tribe here, then as many as you leave will be destroyed. Not only that, but you, the Khan, have to take responsibility."

Guli Peiluo Khan complained in his heart, this is really not giving him a chance.

But no matter how helpless he was, he could only bite the bullet and respond at this time.

"only."

The grassland was leveled, the remaining tribes were called together, and the decree was issued directly.

Each tribe has received its own quota, and if it exceeds, it will be reduced.

Every year, the frontier army of the Tang Dynasty will send people to various tribes to conduct inspections. If there is any concealment and failure to report, all will be deducted together.

This policy does not accept any refutation and discussion, no matter who dares to question or even overthrow it.

If a hundred officials do it, their whole family will be beheaded.If it is done by a big turban, its head will be beheaded.If the next emperor does it, he can turn his throne against him!

Not every tribe is willing to accept the reduction, and two tribes jumped out to oppose it on the spot.

Li Yunze's response was quick, and the two tribes quickly disappeared into the dustbin of history.

With live teaching, the other tribes at least ostensibly calmed down.

Their secret thought is, if I can't beat you, I can't hide from you?
On the other hand, Li Yunze simply ordered Zhang Shougui to execute the first attack on the prairie immediately, and those who dared to escape and resist would be leveled.

Huihe, who originally had some other thoughts, saw such a terrible scene, and there was no luck at all, so all the tribes immediately migrated to Beiting.

After returning to Youzhou, Li Yunze did the second important thing.

He ordered to dismantle all the feudal vassals and towns in the North, and set up the Grassland Protectorate, with Zhang Shougui as the Great Protector.

The only job of the Grassland Protectorate is to strictly implement the population reduction policy.

Afterwards, Li Yunze did not return to Chang'an City in a hurry, but led his army to patrol all over Hebei.

It is said to be an inspection, but in fact it is to use the long-used rebellion case of loyalty to the king to put every big landlord, every powerful family, and every local tyrant and evil gentry into it.

The vacated fields will be redistributed to the local people, taxes will be reduced and exempted, all high-interest debts will be abolished, and the people will recuperate.

And strictly urge the prefectures and counties to hand over law enforcement matters, and station village patrols in various villages and towns.

Severely punish lawlessness everywhere, conduct personal assessments on officials everywhere, and so on.

The Anshi Rebellion was caused by the unbearable tyranny of the people in the North, not by An Lushan and Shi Siming.

Li Yunze carried out a devastating blow to the local tyrants and other profiteers, and redistributed the profits they plundered to appease the common people.

Only in this way can people's grievances be alleviated and disasters erupted.

After lingering in the land of Hebei for about a year, after finishing all the things that could be done, Li Yunze returned to Chang'an City.
