Chapter 828: Envoy Shule
The ancient road long pavilion, the spring has ended, and it is coming to summer. No ads on your phone is the most data-saving. The willows are green.
Qi Chi brought a group of staff, civil officials, and more than 30 people to see him off. The hundred cavalrymen accompanying the escort each led their horses and waited outside the long pavilion. In the soft spring breeze, the war horses snorted and shaved the horses' hooves, and their attitudes were leisurely.
In the long pavilion, Qi Chi wore a scarlet official robe, raised a toast, and said calmly: "I wish Gongda to go here, and he will succeed." ”
Cheng Yu was Chinese New Year's Eve or seventeen years old, thin and tall, especially thin. Wearing a delicate cyan caftan shirt, he looks very energetic. He raised his glass and replied with a smile: "Xie Dashuai." I will certainly live up to the trust under the next. ”
Qiuzi sleeps on the Tianshan Mountains in the north and connects the desert in the south. The east-west portals are Luntai and Gumo respectively. During the Tang Dynasty, it even abandoned Qiuzi Town because of the capture of Gumo by Tubo. After Xunyang captured Qiuzi, he captured Gumo City, which was 400 miles away.
However, Gu Moxi's trip to Shule Town (present-day Kashgar Prefecture), 800 miles away, could not be affected. The distance is too far.
The caravan Lou Leng and others appointed by Jia Huan followed Cheng Yu to Khotan, crossed the desert, and returned to Qiuci from the west. They didn't go to Shule Town. However, the information gathered along the way is quite optimistic. The army of the national dynasty captured Qiuzi, and the tribes of the Western Regions had the intention of submission.
Therefore, when the battle in Beiting was fierce and the Tiele people were settled in the autumn, the governor of Qi was unable to draw troops, and Cheng You proposed that he should lobby Shule Town to surrender. One is to provide money, food, and taxes for the army, and the other is to expand the territory and increase the strategic depth.
Qi Chi smiled and nodded.
The attendant on the side stepped forward to pour wine. Zeng Jigao, Jia Huan, Yang Wei, Hu Chi and others next to him stepped forward to see Cheng You off.
"Brother Cheng has a good trip!" Jia Huan bowed and toasted. He was actually a little worried. But it's hard to say.
In Shule Town, various ethnic groups live together: there are Tiele, Han, Hui, Mongolian, Qigu, etc. The Pei family, a descendant of the original Shule royal family, has always been interested in the Central Plains.
The situation in Shule and Khotan is different. In the chaos of the Western Regions, Shule was once captured by the ancient tribe of Baye, but Khotan did not. In other words, the pro-Zhou forces in Shule Town were basically uprooted. Lobbying, I'm afraid it's very difficult!
Cheng You smiled slightly, he still admired Jia Huan very much, and said with a smile: "Borrow Ziyu Jiyan." In Shule, I will definitely help you find the news of the Shi family! ”
There was a slight laugh in the pavilion. They are all adults, and Jia Huan is still a young man. Everyone, it's completely understandable. Merry and talented!
Jia Huan smiled bitterly, unable to argue in public, and nodded. It can be regarded as receiving Cheng You's kindness.
Cheng You drank everyone's send-off wine, stepped out of the steps of the long pavilion, turned over and got on the horse in a chic manner, turned to everyone, bowed, took a deep breath, and hit the horse forward, "Drive!" A hundred cavalrymen followed.
The horse's hooves rolled up the dust and faded away. Everyone watched.
…
…
After sending Cheng Yu away, the work of liquidating the Tiele people was carried out in an orderly manner. Jia Huan's main energy is on this, he is responsible for public opinion propaganda, ensuring that the 80,000 Tiele people will not be in chaos, and he must understand the policies of the imperial court!
If you don't understand, you can reserve your opinion, but you have to know: why these twenty-six Tiele nobles were put to death. Killing people to pay for their lives and paying off debts is a matter of course. Not pursuing it before does not mean not pursuing it now!
And the family property left by these slain Tiele nobles has become the sustenance of the army. The work of organizing the people and dividing pastures, and educating them has been continuously carried out.
And the war in Beiting came from time to time: Baye Gu Xiaode gave up the three counties of Tingzhou, retreated to the territory of Shatuo and Gelulu, south of Jinshan, and Lebai. The two sides fought fiercely on the grassland, winning and losing each other.
Night gradually fell, enveloping the city of Guizi. Jia Huan took Zhang Sishui, Qian Huai, and Hu Xiaosi across the street and returned home.
After dinner, Jia Huan was in the study, reading family letters. April 14, Xiaoman. He wrote a letter to his wives and concubines in Jinling when he was in the lunar month, and at this time, he finally received a reply.
Jia Huan finished reading, sipped tea, and on the early summer night, he wore a coat and groaned under the lamp. Lin Qianwei wrote in the letter: "Jia Lang, how did Yuhua go to Tuozhi City in Shiguo? There will be news in the near future. The concubine misses it very much. ”
"Alas...," Jia Huan sighed lightly. He could feel Vivi's anxiety, but there was nothing he could do.
The Western Regions, it's too big!
For example, the distance from Qiuzi to Shule is 1,200 miles. The dynasty captured Qiuzi, and it was difficult to influence Shule, let alone in the Hezhong region? The small countries of Tocharian who didn't see it, just sent messengers to inquire about the news? If you submit, you will send a messenger to pay tribute!
There are two ways to get from Qiuzi to Tuozhi City. First, from Gumo City to the north over the Boda Ridge, along the Pearl River west, you can reach the Tuozhi City on the bank of the Yaozhishui River. Second, from Shule, over the green ridge, and then to the northwest, you can arrive.
With such a long distance, how could he send someone to find Shi Yuhua?
When Jia Huan was sighing, Qian Huai hurriedly played a report outside the study, "Third master, the Governor of Qi sent someone to urgently summon you to the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters." ”
Jia Huan raised his eyebrows, put down the letterhead in his hand that seemed to still have the fragrance of Weiwei, and said in a deep voice: "Hmm." I'm going to go. Arrange for people to prepare horses. ”
In the case of an ongoing war in the Western Regions, it is not surprising that any unexpected situation arises! It may be that there is something wrong with the battle in the North Court. After the New Year, it was time to go to Mobei. Jia Huan pondered in his heart, rode a horse and galloped to the governor's palace not far away.

time, callback to three days ago.
Shule Town.
Shule Town is surrounded by mountains on three sides: Tianshan Mountain, Green Ridge, Kunlun Mountain. It is bordered by the Taklamakan Desert to the east. The alluvial plains of the Yarkand River and the Kashgar River are like a green gem set in them.
It is the throat of the four towns of Anxi: if Shule is lost, Anxi will die, and if Anxi dies, the Western Regions will be in danger.
The moonlight flowed in the courtyard of the inn. Cheng Yu pondered alone. He had arrived in Shule Town with his retinue for some time. These days, he lobbied Pei, Tiele, Hui, and Mongolia respectively, but the effect was not satisfactory.
Pei's attitude was ambiguous, Tiele was worried, and Hui and Mongolia refused. How do you convince them?
Cheng You's post house is located in the east of Shule City. What Cheng You didn't know was that in a compound in the west of the city, there was also a mission: the Persians. They were brought to Shule by the Sogdians in the Transoxians.
At night, the courtyard was brightly lit, and in the luxurious main hall, Pei Dengli, the patriarch of the Pei family, who had been elected as the leader and city lord by the local tycoons of Shule, spoke respectfully to a middle-aged man, "Lord Musa, the envoy of Zhou is here, I can't make a decision immediately, please forgive me." ”
Musa had blonde hair and a thick black beard under his chin, he was in his forties, powerful and powerful, his eyes were bright, and he laughed: "Dare to ask how many people the Zhou envoy brought?" You must know that the Persian Empire has possessed the Transoxiana region. The Governor of the River can send an army of 100,000 at any time to conquer. ”
Pei Dengli lowered his head and said with a smile: "There are no more than 100 envoys in Zhou. However, they are in Qiuzi, and there are 100,000 elite troops. "If you brag about it, he won't believe it.
Mosa nodded and made a gesture. Several guards stepped forward and pulled out their scimitars from their waists, holding them against Pei Dengli's waist and neck. Pei Dengli spat in horror and asked in a trembling voice, "Lord Mosa, what do you mean by this?" ”
Musa smiled slightly, stood up, and said, "I will wronged you for a while." Since there is an envoy in the city, I will kill him, and you will know how to choose! A moment later, dense footsteps sounded in the courtyard. And then go away.
Pei Dengli was dumbfounded.
