Chapter 828: Something Happened

Tocharian is the most unstable area within Western Qin, when Zhao Ziliang led his troops to return to the Central Plains to quell the rebellion, he did not attribute Tocharo to the rule of the Taixi Protectorate at that time, nor did he eradicate the local Hao chieftain forces, Tocharian was included in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate or Zhao Ziliang led the troops to return to the Central Plains two years later, that is, in 757 AD, this matter was presided over by Liu Wei, mainly based on political appeasement, supplemented by military coercion, and the Tocharian chieftains could not resist the powerful political and diplomatic offensive of the Beiting Protectorate, There was also a threat of military strength, and after the complete rupture of the internal alliance, it was gradually recovered by the Beiting Protectorate, but their strength was not completely lost, except for a part of the guard, especially their own land, mines, cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock occupied most of the resources of the whole Tocharo.

In early November 761, a large number of Western Qin officers and soldiers from various counties and counties in the Tocharian region of Western Qin went out to capture and arrest a large number of former Tocharian chieftains and their guards, and even their families were all arrested and imprisoned.

After all, although these Tocharian chieftains exploited them, they and these Tocharian chieftains were of the same race, and the same people were naturally easy to hold together, easy to sympathize, and under the instigation of some well-intentioned people, many Tocharians gathered in front of the official palace to demand the release of the captured Tocharian chieftains and their families, and some Tocharians were bewitched to resist the rule of Western Qin.

On the ninth day of November, Zhao Ziliang listened to reports from officials and military generals of various counties and counties in the Tocharian region on the crackdown on the former Tocharian chieftains and their forces.

"King Qiyu, the Hao Chieftain of Yueshi County and its forces have all been eradicated!"

"King Qiyu, the Hao Chieftain of Shuangquan County and its forces have all been eradicated!"

"King Qiyu, the Hao Chieftain of Yueban County and its forces have all been eradicated!"

"King Qiyu, Bird Flying County ・・・・・・"

"King Qiyu, Xiuxian County ・・・・・・"

"King Qiyu, write the ・・・・・・ of Fengjun"

The generals of the Taishou and garrisons of more than 20 counties in the Tocharian region stood up in turn and reported to Zhao Ziliang on the progress of the fight against the Hao chieftains and their forces in various places.

After listening to the reports of all the Taishou and generals, Zhao Ziliang asked, "What is the reaction of the Tocharians everywhere to this matter?" ”

Tocharian Protector Suji stood up and said: "Back to the king's words, the Tocharians in various places have different reactions to this, the Tocharians in some counties applaud, the Tocharians in some counties turn a blind eye, and the Tocharians in some counties are quite dissatisfied with this matter, and the Tocharians in four other counties reacted strongly, some of them gathered in front of the Taishou Mansion to demand the release of the captured Tocharian chieftains and their families, and some Tocharians were instigated by people with ulterior motives to gather to attack the city, garrison camp and official palace!" But these rebels were exterminated and pacified! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Suppressing and pacifying the rebellion can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and the root cause needs to catch those culprits who incite the people to gather to make trouble and rebel!" Su Ji, this matter is the responsibility of your Duhufu! ”

Su Ji agreed, and arched his hand: "The lower official obeys the order!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said to the other guards: "It is normal for the local Tocharian people to have emotions, and now the ethnic consciousness of the tribes in various places is very strong, and the Tocharians everywhere may think that we will deal with them after we deal with these Tocharian chieftains, so your next official business is to explain clearly to the local Tocharian people, the arrest and disposal of these wealthy chieftains is because these people want to rebel, and our government will never target the law-abiding people, please rest assured." In addition, the fields and cattle, sheep, horses, and livestock of each of the chieftains were distributed to the common people according to the number of heads, whether they were Han Chinese or Tocharian people, so what reason did they have to oppose the government's treatment of these chieftains? ”

The guards arched their hands one after another and said, "The king is wise! ”

At this time, Yang Yuhuan, dressed in Taoist clothes, walked into the lobby angrily and shouted: "Zhao Ziliang, what do you want to do?" You have arrested so many Tocharian chiefs, chiefs and their families, and now many Tocharians are angry, and there are riots and rebellions everywhere, what do you want to do? Is this how you govern Western Qin? ”

The officials and generals in the lobby all looked at each other and talked about it.

No one here knew Yang Yuhuan's true identity, so the officials and generals were quite surprised by the behavior of this female Taoist priest, who was able to directly break into the lobby and call Zhao Ziliang's name in the middle, who is this woman?

The muscles on Zhao Ziliang's face trembled a few times, and he waved his hand and said, "That's it for today, continue tomorrow, let's disperse!" Zhao Hu stayed! ”

"No!" All the officials clenched their fists and retreated.

Zhao Ziliang beckoned to Zhao Hu and commanded in a low voice: "Tell them that no one is allowed to talk about this female Taoist leader, it will rot in the stomach!" ”

"No!"

"Go ahead!"

When Zhao Hu left, Yang Yuhuan said angrily: "Zhao Ziliang, you are still ・・・・・・"

"Let's go to the inner hall and talk!" Zhao Ziliang got up and walked into the inner hall as he spoke, and Yang Yuhuan followed with a snort.

The two sat down and waited for the attendant to bring the tea, Yang Yuhuan was still angry, "Say, why did you do this?" There are nearly 100,000 people in the whole place, their families, and their attendants, slaves, and guards, and you killed them like this, what did they do wrong? You're killing innocents indiscriminately! It's only natural for you to kill people on the battlefield, but these people are not your enemies, they are your people! ”

Zhao Ziliang sighed: "Yuhuan, you should always remember that you are already a dead person, do you really want everyone in the world to know that you are not dead and live well in Western Qin?" ”

Yang Yuhuan's face stiffened: "・・・・・・"

Zhao Ziliang continued: "You are now a Taoist priest, so you should cultivate the Tao well and participate in government affairs. If you had this heart back then, and could always advise the first emperor, Datang would not have weakened to this point, you didn't manage it when you should have managed it, and you came out when you shouldn't! We naturally have our reasons for doing this, and it is definitely not decided by the heat of the head, it is deliberate! Also, since you are already a monk, don't take care of mundane affairs! How can I explain to the officials and generals that you are breaking in with such a momentum and swagger today? Do you know why those in power are often unable to tolerate monks? Because they are monks on the surface, but in fact they are still attached to power and glory and wealth in their hearts, and they take advantage of the fact that many people in the ruling class are believers who want to put their hands into the power layer and want to influence the political situation. ”

Yang Yuhuan originally felt that she had indeed lost money, but Zhao Ziliang's last words made her quite angry, "What do you mean at this time?" Do you mean that I am greedy for power and want to meddle in the military and political affairs of the Western Qin? ”

Zhao Ziliang hurriedly said: "No, I didn't mean that!" I mean you just recite your Daozang and learn your medical skills, and don't just take care of other things, especially military and political affairs! ”

Yang Yuhuan was very dissatisfied with Zhao Ziliang's attitude, and got up and left very unhappily.

The next day, Zhao Ziliang was inspecting the military affairs of the Sixth Legion, and Wang Can rushed over to report: "The king, something happened to the third prince and the mission?" ”

Zhao Ziliang's face froze, and his expression changed: "What's wrong?" ”

"The third prince arrived at Samandar, the capital of the Khazar Khanate, a month after setting off with the mission, but the Khazar Khanate refused to admit that they did the plundering of the caravan, and did not agree to help maintain the safety of the Silk Road, the third prince originally wanted to buy some Khazar tribes, let them support and promise to maintain the safety of the Silk Road, but this matter was discovered by the Khan Bihar of the Khazar Khanate, and Bihar ordered the third prince and all the envoys to be arrested. But after escaping for some distance, they were caught up by the lack of strength of their horses, and the Khazars lost more than 2,000 people, killed more than 200 of the mission, and the third prince killed more than 300 people and was captured due to exhaustion! ”

Zhao Ziliang's face gradually turned cold, "What happened to the third child?" ”

Wang Can bowed down and said, "According to the news reported by Xizuo, Bihar was originally going to kill the third prince, but he was dissuaded by the leaders of various tribes and temporarily imprisoned in Habil's winter station, Etir!" ”

Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you manage to rescue it?" ”

Wang Can hugged his fists and said: "After receiving the news, the last general immediately issued an order, so that the fine workers tried to rescue, but at this stage, the Khazars are very strictly guarded, and it is unlikely that the rescue will succeed. The last general thinks like this, sending people to rescue now will not only let the rescued people go to death, but will also arouse the vigilance of the Khazars even more, and let them know the true identity of the third prince! So on the one hand, we must be patient, and on the other hand, we must send a careful work to keep an eye on the third prince, so as not to let the third prince be threatened by his life! ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a long time and said, "You have a point, just do it!" Don't let the details do the rescue, they only need to be responsible for keeping an eye on the safety of the third child! I will send someone else to do the rescue of the third child. Come! ”

One of the personal guards stood up and said, "What does the king command?" ”

"Let Eighteen come to see me!"

"No!"

Xuan Eighteen quickly rushed over, hugged his fists and said, "Wang, are you looking for me?" ”

Zhao Ziliang explained the situation roughly, and finally said: "Send a team of Huya troops to infiltrate the Khazar Khanate, waiting for the opportunity to rescue the third child, Wang Can's people will cooperate with your people, you can discuss with each other how to connect!" ”

"No!"
