Chapter 1004: Xizhou Crisis

A man who looked like a general walked towards Shen Long, the white-haired veterans around him bowed down to make way for him, Shen Long looked at the white-haired general in front of him, his face was furrowed and horizontal, like a knife and axe; Shen Long stood up straight and gave a military salute. He handed over the transfer documents and waist card to the general, and said loudly, "The Ninth Cavalry Team of the Xuange Battalion of the Tang Wuwei Army, all report for duty, and the military expenses will be delivered!" ”

"Beiting Dadu Yang Zhenggu received!" Yang Zhengu took the paperwork and the waist card, glanced at Shen Long and Lu Shishi, and couldn't help but be moved, he thought that there were only two of them left in the Ninth Cavalry Team of the Xuange Battalion of the Wuwei Army, and in such a situation, it was really not easy to deliver all the military expenses.

Yang Xigu put his hand into the money bag, took out a copper coin and looked at it carefully, only to see that the copper coin on the outer circle and the inner square were cast with the four words of Tang Jianzhong, which was very different from the previous Zhenguan Tongbao and Kaiyuan Tongbao.

The coins of the Tang Dynasty are different from the copper coins minted in the past dynasties, and the words cast on the copper coins in the past are composed of the year name and the word Tongbao; Since the road leading to the Tang Dynasty in Anxi was cut off by Tubo, in order to save itself, the Anxi Protectorate began to mint money by itself.

But this time, Guo Xin changed the words of Datang Jianzhong, which is by no means a mistake, but a way to show loyalty to Datang, and at the same time boost the morale of the army and the people, telling them that Datang still has not abandoned the Anxi Protectorate, and it is now the middle year of Datang Jianzhong.

"It should be eleven years before it was built, right?" Yang Xinggu looked at the words on the coin and said, Yang Zhengu, like Guo Xin, has been trapped in the Western Regions for many years, and has already broken the news of Datang, and he doesn't know that Datang has changed the two era names of Xingyuan and Zhenyuan after it was built, and this year is the sixth year of Zhenyuan.

"The two of you have worked hard from afar, let's go to the city to rest! Pontus will now send the military expenses to everyone. After that, Yang Xingu turned around and took Shen Long and Lu Shishi into Xizhou City, Lu Shixi's mouth opened, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, he walked alone all the way between the enemies, from Khotan across the desert to Xizhou, Lu Shixi was also very tired, and now he was surrounded by soldiers and horses from the Tang Dynasty, and he also wanted to rest for a day or two, and then talk to Yang Zhengu about his own return to Datang.

Entering the city, Shen Long found that the veterans in the city were sharpening their knives and preparing their horses, as if they were going to fight, Shen Long couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that Xizhou is not far from falling, no wonder this advertisement will be named "The Last Transfer of Datang Mobei", that is because not long after Lu Shishi sent the military funds to Xizhou, Xizhou fell, and since then, there is only a lonely city left in the Tang Anxi Protectorate, and there is no need to transfer money anymore.

Previously, the Hui minister Yu Jiasi led the Hui army to aid Beiting, but was defeated by the Tubo, Gelulu, Baifu Turkic, and Shatuo Turkic coalition forces, and Beiting Jiedu made Yang Xigu lead the remnants of the Beiting Tang army of 2,000 people to flee to Xizhou.

In this year, Jie Yujia was greatly ashamed of the failure to rush to the north court, so he "raised the national soldiers" and recruited 50,000 or 60,000 heavy soldiers to attack the north court again, and Yang Zhenggu also took the opportunity to lead the remnants of the Tang army in Xizhou to join the Hui army, but was defeated by the hands of Tubo; Of the more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in Xizhou City, only 160 people remained.

Yang Zhengu planned to flee back to Xizhou again, but at this time, Jie Yujia strangely told Yang Zhengu, saying that they could walk back to the Tang Dynasty, Yang Zhenggu believed that it was true, but was killed by Jie Yugas, and Xizhou City fell into the hands of the enemy, and Qiuzi became a lonely city.

Now every city is extremely important to the Tang Dynasty and the Anxi Protectorate, and Yang Zhengu must not be allowed to die at the hands of Jie Yugas, so Shen Long said tentatively, "Is the Dadu Protector going to go on an expedition?" ”

"Exactly, Hui Yu Gas invited me to attack Beiting, firstly, this official was originally the protector of Beiting, and the opportunity to recover the lost territory must not be missed, and secondly, Jie Yugas was invited to rescue Beiting last year, and I have a kindness, whether it is public or private, Bendu Protector can't help but go!" Yang raids the ancient road.

"But...... But on the way, I heard that something had happened to Hui Hui, and at this time, it didn't seem appropriate for Jie Yugas to attack Beiting again! Shen Long persuaded that according to the information he had gathered, he had already thought of a way to solve the crisis in Xizhou, but he was not sure if he could convince Yang Xigu and Jie Yugas.

"Oh? What's the news? Yang Zhengu was immediately anxious when he heard this, he didn't know that this attack on Beiting would usher in a fiasco, but regarded it as a good opportunity to recover Beiting.

"In March, the Hui Loyal Khan was poisoned by Princess Shao Ke Dunye, and his younger brother Yao Luo Ge Duolus took advantage of the chaos to succeed to the throne. Princess Shao Ke Dun Ye is the daughter of Princess Chonghui of the Tang Dynasty and Mu Yu Khan, the last Khan of Hui, and Princess Chonghui is the daughter of the famous general Gu Huaien. 、; Because the son of Sukku Huai'en was a Yehu (head of a branch of a clan) in the Uighurs, the granddaughter of Suku Huai'en was called "Princess Shaokedunye" or "Princess Ye" in the Uighurs.

Although Datang's friendly policy made these princesses suffer the humiliation they should not have endured, it also left a lot of useful resources, if they can catch the line of Princess Chonghui and Princess Ye in the future, maybe they can also operate from it and win a broader living space for the Anxi Protectorate.

"What? Is this not a rumor? Yang Zhengu was shocked when he heard this, he was trapped in Xizhou for a long time, and the outside world cut off the news, but he didn't know that such a big thing happened, if this is true, Jie Yugas has been a prime minister for many years, and has been holding the power of Hui Hui, and now Hui has just changed the khan, and Jie Yugas is the time when he needs to consolidate his power, and it is indeed not appropriate to go on the expedition at this time.

"Maybe Jayyugas wants to use a big victory to defend his position?" Yang Zhengu guessed that he still had hope for the North Court to be reclaimed with the help of Jieyugas's hand.

"If Jieyugas attacks the North Court, it will be able to win but not be defeated, if it is a big victory, it may be better, the new khan is afraid of his military might, and he will not dare to touch him; But if he loses or even just wins, he will inevitably take action against Jieyugas, and at that time, will Dadu Hu be spared? This matter is very important, and it is better to be cautious in most of them! Shen Long continued to persuade.

Jie Yugas returned to Hui immediately after this defeat, and solved him before the Khan made the first move, and re-established a Khan, but Jie Yugas was not proud for long, and he disappeared from the history books soon after, which should be inseparable from his defeat and loss of his elite.
