Fu Yun Khan stared blankly at the scene in front of him, a little stunned, he had no way to connect the person with the tip of the knife in front of him with a cold face and the previous elegant and graceful Tubo nobleman Lu Dongzan, who had a warm smile at that time, spoke elegantly and gracefully, almost making him think that he had met a Han nobleman.

However, the person in front of him who is holding a sharp sword, with a gloomy face, and looks like a fierce beast, where does he look like Lu Dongzan before? Obviously, a few hours ago, they were still happily talking and laughing together, drinking and eating meat together, why, how much time has passed? The winds of change?

"Fu Yun Khan, His Royal Highness the King of Tianzhu, and General Chi Yun, you are the three people named by General Li, the commander of the Tang Dynasty, to meet, so I have to wronged you and tie you up, so as not to escape!" Lu Dongzan waved his hand, and the Tubo soldiers pounced fiercely, tying up the three people who had been restrained, completely ignoring their struggles and roars, Chi Yun was the first to react, yelling: "Lu Dongzan, you treacherous villain!" You actually colluded with the Tang Army! Stab in the back! Villain! ”

The Heavenly Pillar King also roared angrily: "You villain! I am so sorry that I trust you so much! You're treating me like that! Villain! Villain! Villain!!! ”

Fu Yun Khan was still stunned, and he didn't speak at all, Lu Dongzan saw this, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Say I'm a villain?" Stab in the back? Hehehe, why bother? You are for your country, and I am for my country, and I am not from your side, but you paid me to come. Now that someone has paid a higher price for me to clean you up, and this man is so much better than you, why should I not cooperate with them and die for you?

It already hurts me a lot to lose more than 3,000 warriors for you, and now if I continue to cooperate with you, I'm afraid that none of my 30,000 warriors will be able to go back, in this case, of course I have to take responsibility for the lives of the soldiers and die for you? Joke, a mere one-third of the land is worth the lives of my 30,000 troops? ”

Fu Yun Khan finally came to his senses. But it's surprisingly calm. said: "General Lu Dongzan, you sue Sù Ben Khan, how much benefit the Tang Army has given you, how much money has been given to you!" Ben Khan doubles it for you! A third of the country is not enough? That's the land of the general. Take all your possessions and all your congregation. All belong to Tibet. As long as you continue to help Ben Khan repel the Tang army, Ben Khan can promise you anything! ”

Lu Dongzan shook his head with a smile and said, "Fuyun Khan, don't you understand? It's not a question of how much to bid. But the Tang Dynasty is too strong, the territory is too vast, I can't see the possibility that you can defeat the Tang Dynasty at all, you have also seen the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army, my Tubo soldiers are difficult to compete with it, do you want my Tubo whole country to be martyred for you?

This is really a joke, I catch you and dedicate you to Datang, Datang will give us countless benefits, all your land and mouth are not as good as a caravan in Datang, you can give it to me, Datang can compensate me a thousand times more Tubo, so, you calculate yourself, am it cost-effective for me to cooperate with you, or is it cost-effective to cooperate with Datang? ”

Fu Yun Khan closed his eyes, then opened them suddenly, and roared loudly: "Lu Dongzan! You villain! You are treacherous! You don't have to die well! I will curse you, I will curse you that you will not die well! Your entire family, all the people, will pay for this, they will all pay for it! All those who lost their lives in Tuyuhun cursed you, and with each death, the curse deepened! Until your whole family dies! Last of your line!!! ”

Lu Dongzan's hands were bruised, and his face was gloomy and frightened, such vicious words were spoken, and King Tianzhu and Chi Yun were a little worried about whether Lu Dongzan would kill Fu Yun Khan, but in the end, Lu Dongzan still didn't make a move, but showed a cold smile, and said: "Then I want you to live until that day, until the day when my whole family dies, but don't die before that, of course, I don't dare to guarantee that Datang can let you live forever." ”

After speaking, Lu Dongzan waved his hand, and the Tubo soldiers took them all out, ready to load them and send them to the Tang military camp, the three of them were still scolding, and even Wu Xi couldn't help but want to seal their mouths when he heard some words: "Master, let's seal their mouths, these people's words are too ugly." ”

Lu Dongzan shook his head and waved his hand: "I believe that those priests cursed me more viciously, but after being cursed by them for so many years, am I not okay?" The son is also very healthy, the family is also very safe, curse, it's just the last resistance of some losers after failure, have you ever seen anyone who was cursed to death? Curses are not terrible, they are people, and I would rather be cursed than go against those I can't deal with. ”

Wu Xi said: "The master is worried about Tang Guo? ”

Lu Dongzan said: "The Tang State is too powerful, the more I know, the more worried I am, if we can't learn all their things and use them for us, then we will not be their opponents, it is beneficial to form an alliance with the Tang State at present, it would be better if we could marry the daughter of the Tang Emperor, there will be a lot of dowries, those things will be what we urgently need, calm down and learn, one day, we can surpass the Tang State, and even eliminate the Tang State."

What does it matter if I am cursed for that day to come? The Tuyuhun people are really stupid, we were also stupid before, we actually thought of going against the Tang Kingdom, but since we found the mistake, we have to correct it, and finally know the mistake, if we don't correct it, it will be in vain to make this mistake, let's go too, strive to settle the matter with the Tang State, discuss the date of trade, and then, notify Zampu, withdraw the army, the 100,000 army is the lifeblood of Tubo! ”

Wuxi sighed, turned around and left, Lu Dong sighed, turned on his horse, and went to the Tang army camp.

On December 28, the seventh year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, a month after the Tang Dynasty started its war against Tuyuhun, the Tuyuhun army completely collapsed, the resistance ended, the Tuyuhun country was destroyed, and more than 1,000 princes and nobles of Tuyuhun were captured by Fuyun Khan, and finally 30,000 troops were captured. Sent to Lanzhou to prepare for transfer to the production and construction corps in various places to do the labor they should be engaged in, the nobles of Tuyuhun were all sent to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Only Fu Yun Khan can be treated preferentially, and the rest of the people, including his son, will be required to undergo labor reform, men do coolies, women sew military uniforms and other military materials, the whole family of Tianzhu King was destroyed, Chi Yun would rather die than surrender, and Li Er Majesty ordered to behead him.

There are 300,000 people in Tugu Hun mouth. Except for those who were implicated in battle. More than 200,000 survived, only 30,000 were pardoned and could continue to live on their land, and the remaining 170,000 were all assigned to the production and construction corps of the Tang Dynasty as coolies. Speed up the process of labor reform in China.

The reason why 30,000 people were left behind was that the Tang Dynasty decided to establish administrative institutions in Tuyuhun's homeland - Guzhou and Hunzhou. It will be completely included in the territory of Datang. That's why it was necessary to leave 30,000 people to work as coolies on this land, build houses, and build cities. Then the Tang army will be stationed here, and in the near future, the first batch of immigrants will be ushered here, and the Tang caravan will also get a faster way to the Western Regions, so the Han Silk Road will be opened, and the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate will be put on the agenda.

The reason why the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate was proposed at this time was mainly due to the tragic defeat of the Western Regions Coalition Army in this combat operation, the first batch of 60,000 Western Regions Coalition Army was wiped out more than 50,000 people, and the formation of the second batch of Western Regions Coalition Army was because Su Dingfang had not yet arrived and the Tubo Tuyuhun Coalition Army was jointly killed, so the second batch of 100,000 Western Regions Coalition Army was also formed, but unfortunately it was defeated in three battles and three defeats, losing a large area of land, and the army also lost more than 40,000 people, almost disabled.

At the most critical time, Su Dingfang led the army to the battlefield of the decisive battle between the two armies, and attacked the Tubo Tuyuhun coalition army on the side, the Tang Iron Cavalry crisscrossed the battlefield, setting off a whirlwind of counteroffensive, the Tuyuhun army was completely wiped out in a battle, the Tubo army lost most of the troops, the wolf bèi fled, Su Dingfang chased closely, and finally wiped out the Tubo army in a valley, and then more than 4,000 people died in more than 3,000 and more than 1,000 people were captured, Su Dingfang only relied on 5,000 iron cavalry to aid the Western Regions and defeated the 20,000 troops of Tubo and Tuyuhun to save the countries of the Western Regions. Make a great contribution.

It was also thanks to Su Dingfang's speed that he was fast enough, Li Shiji also deliberately did not give Su Dingfang the latest instructions for five consecutive days, knowing that Su Dingfang had completely eliminated the Tubo army before he issued the news that Tubo had signed an armistice agreement with the Tang Dynasty, it was too late, 10,000 Tubo troops were destroyed, and there were only more than 1,000 prisoners of war left, Lu Dongzan was stunned for a while, and swallowed this bitter fruit, the reason for the Tang Dynasty was very sufficient, he could not refute it, even if it was deliberate, there was no evidence.

At the same time, Li Shiji ordered Su Dingfang to lead the army to retreat, but Su Dingfang replied that the monarchs of the Western Regions jointly begged him to stay temporarily, on the grounds that the army had lost too much and was temporarily unable to protect himself, and begged Su Dingfang to lead the army to stay for a period of time until the army was reorganized, and all the expenses were all borne by the governments, and there was no need for the Tang Dynasty to pay a penny.

When the news came back, five big characters suddenly appeared in Li Shiji's mind - the Western Regions Protectorate.

The Han Dynasty set up the capital protectorate in the Western Regions, which made Li Shiji suddenly realize that this seemed to be a good opportunity, the countries of the Western Regions were injured by the Tuyuhun and Tubo coalition forces, and they couldn't recover for a while, they took the initiative to ask Su Dingfang to lead the army to stay in the hope that Su Dingfang could protect them, Su Dingfang had a high prestige in the Western Regions and was regarded as a protector, this was a good time to reset the capital protectorate!

Li Shiji immediately submitted a petition to Li Erma, asking Li Ermaxi to allow Su Dingfang to be stationed for a period of time, and proposed to imitate the way of the Western Regions Protectorate of the Late Han Dynasty, and also set up a Western Regions Protectorate, ostensibly to place troops and protect the countries of the Western Regions, and promised not to interfere in the internal affairs of the countries, but only responsible for mediation, etc., the main scope of activities is limited to the Tuyuhun homeland, that is, the Tang Guhun Prefecture, and at the same time to develop and govern the surrounding ownerless land, and appropriately expand the territory.

In fact, the power of the Western Regions Protectorate will gradually expand, and the army will gradually increase, after the power of the merchants gradually controls the economy and people's livelihood of the countries in the Western Regions, this kind of behavior seems to be able to be put on the bright side, pushing forward the timetable of the Tang Dynasty's control of the Western Regions by ten years, and accelerating the mastery of the Western Regions.

At that time, once the situation changes, you can directly send troops from Guhun Erzhou to the south to conquer Tibet, destroy the country, and directly control the bitter cold land of the plateau, and the army trained there must be very capable of fighting, and can lay the foundation for the large land to continue to expand westward.

The only problem is what to do if the countries of the Western Regions are unwilling, but Li Shiji believes that the Zongheng Division is not for white rice, since Du Ruhui can give Datang a reason to crusade against Tuyuhun, he must be able to find a reason for Datang to buy a Western Regions Protectorate, a special external organization, this ability is still there.
