Chapter 914
"Shameless!"
"Shameless!"
"Son of a bitch!"
Yugushi cursed and wandered around the tent. He was so angry that he wanted to cut Li Chao into slices of meat and set it on fire and roast it. . Updated the fastest
He originally thought that he had offered to surrender, but the Tang Dynasty was happy to accept it immediately. His conditions were not high, and it was nothing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty had to make him independent, at least he had to be granted a prince. He even wanted to bargain with the Tang Dynasty to see if he could let the Tang support him as the East-Turkish Khan. Even if the East-Turkish Khan could not be the East-Turkish Khan, it would be a South-Turkish Khan.
He even thought of the name of Khan, Yibi Dulu Khan.
"Dad, since these Tang people are so ignorant, let's fight with them."
Jie Bidadu, the son of Yugusai, said in anger.
Yugu's chest was undulating, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were red, just like a furious beast.
"Prepare a horse for me!"
"Dad, I'll go and gather troops now. Let's fight with the Nan barbarians."
Yugushe called his son, "I told you to prepare horses, why are you going to summon troops?"
"Didn't you go and fight with the Nanman?"
"That's a big deal!" Yu Guzhi cursed at his son.
Jie Bidadu was scolded for being stupid.
"father?"
"I asked you to prepare horses, to see Li Chao."
"What do you do when you see Li Chao?"
"Of course I surrendered!"
At this point, Yugushi has nothing to do except scold Li Chao. He cannot refuse the conditions offered by Li Chao. He either rejected Li Chao, but where will he go after rejecting Li Chao? He can't defend here, so he can only retreat to Mobei or Moxi, but he can't stand it even if he goes to Mobei. The Yi Nan with Xue Yantuo can't deal with the Yi Nan, and he must not be able to do it himself.
Go to the west of the desert?
It’s not reliable. What’s the point of going to Moxi without a territory? Besides, Moxi is still in a mess of civil war.
Originally, he wanted to rely on the Tang Dynasty, but wanted to have an independent and independent nature.
But now Li Chao's words let him know that he has no other way to go.
"But Dad, Li Chao's damn thing made us surrender unconditionally. At that time, it would definitely be the same as Jie Li and Yu Sheshi. Go to the Central Plains to be an idle person. Our tribes will be incorporated by them and then moved to the Central Plains to be scattered and resettled. This place will be the territory of the Tang people at that time."
"I know." Yugushe said. He was the son of Shibi Khan, Tuli's brother, Jie Li was his uncle, and Yu Sheshi was also his cousin.
Would he not know what Li Chao meant to surrender unconditionally?
But are there any better choices?
"Dad, let's go to the west of the Mohe to help the Khan quell the rebellion in the west of the Mohe. We will fight back then."
Yugushe shook his head.
"The glorious days of Tongye Hu have passed, and they come and go quickly. Originally, he had just taken advantage of it, but now he is unable to protect himself. Xi and Khitan in the east surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and Shiwei and other northern tribes were also shaking. Not to mention the Tiel tribes, under the leadership of Xueyantuo tribes, they had established their own Khanate."
"There is only one Moxi, and Tongye Hu still has to fight with his uncle Mo Hedu, but behind Mo Hedu is the support of the Tang Dynasty and the help of Tuyuhun, Tongye Hu may not be able to calm down in a short time. Even if he is pacified, his strength will be greatly damaged. It is estimated that Moxi will be difficult to defend at that time. If we go, we don't think about coming back."
"I'm not willing to give up."
Yugushe sighed, and the tall and burly Turkic man was not willing to accept it. His brother Tuli died at the hands of the Tang people not long ago. What's the use of unwillingness? His grandfather Qimin Khan also joined the Tang Dynasty when he was at a loss, and even when his father was young, he was respectful to the Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.
When he was a child, he even went to hunt deer with his father Shibi Khan himself every year, then cut off the deer tongue and marinate it and dried it, and paid tribute to Yang Guang.
When Yang Guang went out to inspect the frontier, the father and son personally took Turkic herdsmen to mow grass and cleared out a wide grassland avenue.
"Let's go and see Li Chao. It's enough to bring hundreds of cavalry. We are going to surrender, not to fight."
He knew very well that he could not defeat Li Chao. In terms of war skills, his brother Tuli was stronger than him, but Tuli's 100,000 troops were wiped out under Li Chao's hands. Moreover, he only had a group of old and weak soldiers now.
Zhangjiakou.
This is the outer Great Wall in the north.
It was newly established by the imperial court. The army in the east was Youzhou, Yunzhou to the west, and Weizhou to the south.
As the northern border of Guizhou belonging to Hebei, after Li Chao arrived, he stationed troops here and opened an entrance directly on the originally closed north wall to build a pass.
He directly named this new pass Zhangjiakou.
Others only think that Li Chao gave this name because his surname was Zhang before, but he didn't know that Li Chao just didn't want to change his name in Zhangjiakou in later generations.
"Why do we need to open this pass?" Wei Yunqi asked.
The terrain here is originally a mountain pass. If the Great Wall is blocked, the defense will be better.
"Blind confrontation is not a way out. Besides, in the future, the south of the north will be directly under the imperial court, so the entrance of this passage will naturally be opened. Not only should it be opened, but the geographical characteristics here are connected to Hebei, Hedong, Suiyuan and Saibei. This is a four-way place, and it will definitely become an important commercial port in the future. If such a good place is not used, wouldn't it be a waste?"
Zhangjiakou is a basin. Several openings in the basin lead to several directions, along the Sanggan River Valley to the southwest and connect to Yunshuo, to the northeast and to Youzhou. To the northwest and to the Yinshan Mountains lead to Hetao. Further to the southeast, you may enter the central plain of Hebei in the two Taihang Mountain channels in Weizhou.
In addition, the two major cities of Datong, Hebei are close to Dazhou, and are close to the outside of the Great Wall, making this place itself an important way to trade between the Central Plains and the grassland.
It can be said that in later generations, Zhangjiakou's prosperity was not accidental.
In such an important place, Li Chao believes that setting up a pass city is better than building a wall directly, and with this port, you can defend and attack, and you can attack at any time.
Riding a horse on the grassland outside the mouth, the scenery is unique.
Outside the mouth of later generations, the unique scenery of the dam grassland was called Tianlu grassland.
"If you don't eat roasted whole lamb in this place, I'm sorry for myself."
Wei Yunqi was a little puzzled by Li Chao's relaxed attitude.
"The Prime Minister really thinks that the establishment of the Yu Valley will be reduced? Unconditional reduction?"
Li Chao dismounted and directed his personal soldiers to prepare for the fire and prepare for roasting lamb.
He spread a blanket and sat down cross-legged, feeling the cool breeze on the May grassland. "I actually wish he didn't fall, so we would have the chance to fight."
"Start the fight?"
"Well, I really want to fight this battle."
Wei Yunqi shook his head helplessly. Others thought it would be better not to use martial arts, but Li Chao thought it would be better to fight.
"If Yugushi really drops, what do you want to make arrangements?"
"What's the problem? Didn't the imperial court set Hetao as Suiyuan Road before? When Yugu was set up and down, these places could be directly incorporated into Suiyuan Road or another one. It's not a problem. Move the Turks to the mainland, place them in scattered place, and then move a group of Han people to farm and grazing."
"But this is outside the Great Wall. How can we defend against the attacks of the Hu people in the future?"
Although the Tang Dynasty did not build the Great Wall, the Great Walls built by the dynasties were not useless.
"Are we going to build the Great Wall in the north of the Seychelles?"
During the Warring States Period, this was the territory of Yanzhao. The Yan Great Wall built by Yan State back then was far more than Yanshan, but was further north, and even the Yan Great Wall was built to Liaodong.
"Build the Great Wall? No need."
Li Chao is also an objection to the construction of the Great Wall. The Great Wall is just a wall, which has functions, but has limited functions.
"We can build castles." Compared to building the Great Wall, Li Chao is more interested in building castles, especially on grasslands like the south of the desert outside the Great Wall. It is more difficult to build a castle, build castles on the grassland to form a castle chain.
When Russia conquered the Kazakh prairie, it used this trick, the iron chain of fortresses.
The castle is also built in the south of the desert to form a chain. At that time, there will be a desert in the north, and it will not be a problem to stabilize the south of the desert and defend against the north of the desert.
Large willow branches, with large pieces of mutton, are fat and thin.
"Skewer more fatty, so it will be delicious when grilled." Li Chao also asked Wei Yun to start the move by himself.
Wei Yunqi sat there, skewers of mutton, but couldn't help asking, "Will Yugushua run away?"
"If he wants to run, let him run. Anyway, even if he runs to the Western Regions, we will still be able to hit him one day."
The mutton skewers were just put on, but Wang Xuance came to report that the gua was set up.
Li Chao was too lazy to get up after hearing this.
The charcoal fire was just right, and now the open fire has gone, leaving a lot of charcoal fire, which is the most suitable for barbecue kebabs. Li Chao took the skewers of yakitori and inserted them into the fire, and said, "Since you're here, let's bring him over."
When Yugushe was brought over, Li Chao's mutton skewers were already grilled with oil. Li Chao was taking a handful of skewers and sprinkling some salt.
These mutton skewers were originally marinated with sauce, and the fragrance was so strong at this time.
Li Chao called Yu Gushe to sit down, then picked up a skewer of mutton and handed it to him.
“It’s just right here, just baked, try it.”
Yu Gushe was a little terrible when he took the skewers. He came to surrender, and Li Chao was so dull.
Staring at the skewers for a while, Yu Gu Shi said helplessly to Li Chao, "Li Xiang, I am willing to join the Tang Dynasty."
"No, it's not about surrendering, it's about surrendering. Unconditional surrender, but as long as you surrender, I can guarantee that you enjoy the same treatment as Jie Li and Yu Sheshe, and you will have no worries in your next life."
"Okay, I'll give up." He came, and at this time he didn't want to bargain anymore. Anyway, seeing Li Chao like this, he didn't want to bargain with him. Maybe he still hoped that he wouldn't give up, so that he could send troops to destroy them.
"Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and Yugu is a hero. Come and eat mutton skewers."
Yu Gushe squirted half of the skewers at the mutton skewers and chewed them hard, as if he treated the skewers as Li Chao. But after chewing a few bites, he had to admire him in his heart.
This mutton skewers are so delicious that they almost made him cry.
Wei Yunqi was stunned. Such a big thing was settled in just a few words? Yu Gu Shi really surrendered unconditionally without sending a single army?
He was worried about this for a long time.
