Chapter 974(1/2)

The rain drizzles and keeps falling.

Because Qin Lang was in a critical condition, the fleet set up camp on the shore and set up a temporary camp. Qin Lang fell on the big ship and never moved.

After a bowl of skinny egg lean meat porridge, some qi and blood were restored on his face, and his whole body became much better.

"Come on tea."

Lao Jia shook his head, "It's better not to drink tea when you first recovered from a serious illness. This is also a good foundation for your body, otherwise how can you recover so quickly. It's said that the disease comes like a mountain of falling, and the disease goes like a thread to get rid of it. You still have to be well treated."

"I drank a few glasses of wine on that day of Storm, but it turned out to be cold when I fell asleep. It seemed like I had some crabs that day, which was also a cold thing. Now it's much better."

"No careless."

Lao Jia looked at the rain outside the boat window, "Anyway, it has been raining for days all these days, and the road is muddy and difficult to walk, so I'd just take a break here for a few days."

Qin Lang nodded.

"The soldiers' tents, food and grass are fine, right?"

"What's the problem? We are now on the Duni River. The waterways are smooth and the court's main prefectures and military palaces are all on the sides." Old Jia patted his shoulder, "Don't think too much, let it go."

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, and Lao Jia went to rest.

Qin Lang asked Zhang Chao to call Liu Rengui.

"Is there any news from Chang'an?"

Liu Rengui nodded.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has indeed arrived in Qinghai and is currently by Hou Junji's side."

“Where?”

"The Lintao Army City in the Huangshui River in Shanzhou is currently the Yan King Nuohebo of Tuyuhun, leading 7,000 tent troops, and retreated to the Lintao Army."

Qin Lang knew that the King of Tuyuhun Yan was the son of Murong Shun, the previous Tuyuhun Khan. The Tuyuhun Khan, who was named the Prince of Xiping and the governor of Qinghai, was actually a very tragic king.

He was the eldest son of the Khan of Tuyuhun Fuyun and the Princess of the Sui Dynasty, and he had half of the Han ancestry. However, when he was very young, he was forced to send him to Chang'an of the Sui Dynasty as a magistrate, and stayed there for more than ten years. Then he was enthroned by Yang Guang as a Khan, but the people of the country were dissatisfied and were beaten back to the Sui Dynasty halfway.

Later, when Li Tang and Sui Dynasty reigned on the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan sent Murong Shun back to form an alliance with Tuyuhun. As a result, Fu Yun had already made his second son, Zunwang as the crown prince.

After Murong Shun returned, his status in the middle school of the country was very awkward and he was renamed King of Daning, but he was dissatisfied with both inside and outside.

Later, Qin Lang led the Longyou Army to attack Tuyuhun, killed Fu Yun in one battle, destroyed Tuyuhun, and Murong Shun led his troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. He was named Prince of Xiping and the governor of Qinghai by Li Shimin.

The Tang Dynasty still retained the Tuyuhun Kingdom, but divided it into three parts, and Murong Shun, his brother and another famous king were unified.

But even if he only guards one-third of the territory, Murong Shun can't control it.

Under the secret instigation of Tubo, Zunwang contacted the personal guards around Murong Shun, launched a mutiny, and killed Murong Shun.

The national middle school was in chaos.

Hou Junji was ordered to comfort Tuyuhun. With the mentality of calming the country and calming the people rather than fighting during the national mourning, he wanted to calm the matter down.

However, although Hou Junji has been in Qinghai for a while, his prestige is not as high as Qin Lang, and he ignores his words.

Instead, he stepped up his attack on Fuqicheng, hoping to kill Murongshun's son, King Yan, Nuohebo.

Seeing the opportunity, Hou Junji had no choice but to run away with Nuo Hobo, flee all the way back to Lintao Army, Shanzhou, Longyou, and temporarily place him there.

Qin Lang could imagine that Hou Junji, who was already in a state of trouble, saw Cheng Qian running to him.

This guy must have been stunned.

"The decree of a saint in Luoyang was issued."

"oh?"

The matter was a big deal, and Chang'an couldn't help but dare not hide it, so he reported to Li Shimin, Luoyang as soon as possible.

Li Shimin never thought that his son would be so promising. He had just stopped playing the last episode, but he played something even better here.

The emperor was furious in the Luoyang Palace, and his imperial case was so angry that he kicked over.

In the end, the queen hugged the emperor's grandson Li Xiang and tried to persuade him, which calmed down Li Shimin's anger.

If he is angry, he cannot make it known to everyone in the world, unless he really wants to destroy Chengqian, but he has no plans yet, and this matter is too much involved.

Therefore, with the full efforts of Changsun Wuji, the uncle, Chang'an issued an emperor's decree.

The purpose was to grant the title of Prince Chengqian as the ambassador of Qinghai Xuanwei, and to ask Chengqian to go to Qinghai according to the order, and to grant Murongshun's son Nuohebo as the prince of Heyuan County, Zhuguo, Tuyuhun King, and Wudiyebaledou Khan.

This decree helped Chengqian cover up the big mistake he made.

It was not a private action, but the emperor authorized him to go.

The crown prince of the Tang Dynasty conferred the title of Tuyuhun Khan and observed the ceremony and blessings.

Rub Chengchi's butt.

It is also to give some face to the emperor and the court, otherwise if the matter breaks out, I don’t know how much trouble it will cause.

"In addition, the Chang'an court has decided to use troops to Qinghai. It is currently dispatching troops to send generals. It has appointed Hou Junji as the chief general of the Xihai Road marching, and Zhang Liang as the deputy chief general. The troops and horses of the four roads of Longyou, Qinghai, Hexi and the Western Regions are all subject to their restraints."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince announced the strategy of appeasement."

After listening, Qin Lang sighed.

Overall, this result is already very rare. It can be seen how Li Shimin suppressed his anger and kept his face for Cheng Qian.

But it is obvious that Cheng Qian also consumed a lot of the emperor's favor and patience this time.

Even if Empress Changsun and Changsun Wuji were not working in front of the emperor, there would probably be no such good result.

Now the emperor has conferred Nuohun Khan as the new Tuyuhun Khan, and has given Han name Zhong, asking Hou Junji to escort him back to Fuqi City.

The supreme king Murong Cheng was publicly designated by the Tang Dynasty as a rebellious official who killed his brother and planned to rebel, and all official positions were removed.

The war in Qinghai inevitably began.

The Tang Dynasty originally wanted to fight Xue Yantuo in the north of Mo, but it failed. Then it fought against Goguryeo in Liaodong, and temporarily stopped its troops. Unexpectedly, Tuyuhun, who was defeated a few years ago, would start fighting with the Central Plains again so soon.

"The court's policy on Tuyuhun was ultimately wrong. Although the method of destroying the Khanate and setting up prefectures and counties that Duke Wei decided to destroy the Khanate seemed radical, if you think about it, it was the most appropriate." Liu Renguidao.

Qin Lang just smiled.

"No one can say it accurately. Tuyuhun is a pastoral area that is only suitable for nomadic areas. There are hundreds of miles of unmanned deserts and Gobi to the west, and glaciers and snow-capped mountains to the south. They are all places that are rarely visited and are not suitable for survival. What is really suitable for our Central Plains is actually the Hehuang Valley to the east and some areas east of Qinghai Lake. However, after the last war, the court has pushed the border westward for 300 miles. In fact, these good places suitable for farming and farming are directly classified into the border of the Tang Dynasty."

With the support of the Tang Dynasty, why can't Murong Shun sit in the position of Khan? Why is he still killed by his subordinates?

In fact, one of the key reasons is that after Fu Yun was killed, Tuyuhun was not only divided into three parts, but more importantly, its core and rich eastern region, the only area suitable for farming, was directly poached by the Tang Dynasty.

After losing this important farming area, not only did Tuyuhun even make it difficult to supply the royal city of Fuqi City, not to mention that he wanted to continue to go east to occupy more fertile valleys, and even enter the Longyou area in the future.

Murong Shun had no foundation and no prestige in Tuyuhun. He was timid towards the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty wanted to cut off those places, he would cut them away. He didn't dare to say a word.

Even Tuyuhun was in name only. The Tang army not only seized 300 miles, but also established many towns and post stations around Qinghai Lake in Tuyuhun to control the Qinghai Road commercial road.

These are all things that many Tuyuhun people are unacceptable.

Looking back, Li Shimin retained Tuyuhun at the beginning, but it was not necessarily wrong, because he helped Murong Shun as a Khan at that time and was able to complete the Khanate. In fact, he was just a puppet. On the surface, he preserved Tuyuhun, which could also disintegrate the Tuyuhun people's resistance.

In fact, the Tang Dynasty cut off the fattest piece of meat and swallowed it into its stomach. Under the Tuyuhun Khan Courtyard, the Tang army could still easily and freely build fortresses and fortresses on the ground by Qinghai Lake, and still build a Qinghai Road commercial road and post road directly to the Western Regions.

If Tuyuhun was directly abolished and changed it to Qinghai Road, and established prefectures and counties, it might have to face endless rebellion and resistance from Tuyuhun people. The Sui Dynasty did this back then, and indeed faced such resistance. The four counties established in the end were in name only.

Li Shimin obviously attracted a lesson at the beginning and made a trick of building a plank road openly and crossing Chen Cang secretly.

So now it seems that the Tuyuhun people have turned around, but in fact, the stability of the past few years has actually allowed the Tang Dynasty to successfully digest the three hundred miles to the east. Moreover, even around Qinghai Lake, the Tang Dynasty still maintains a high control.

Those fortresses were not built in vain.

Although Hou Junji has withdrawn from Shanzhou now, the Wuning Army, Weisheng Army, Jintian Army, Guangen Army, Shence Army, and Shenwei Army are all firmly standing around Qinghai Lake.

Although Fuqicheng temporarily changed his master, this did not allow them to completely regain control of Qinghai.

"Donald Wei thinks Hou Junji can win this battle?"

"As long as Hou Junji is not too stupid, this battle can certainly be won. In fact, let alone Hou Junji, any general above the third rank who fought from the Battle of Central Plains is capable of winning this battle. Today's Tuyuhun is not Tuyuhun at the beginning of Zhenguan."

Liu Rengui nodded, "Yes, the battle between Sanlang was damaged by Tuyuhun. Although the imperial court has spread its Khanate over the years, it has moved out of no less than 200,000 households from Qinghai, not to mention Dangxiang, Bailan and Qiang, these once firm allies of Tuyuhun, are no longer affiliated with them."

"Don't forget Yifu Abao!"

"Yes, that's your father-in-law." Liu Rengui laughed.

Yifu Abao was a Xianbei person. He was from the Xianbei Yifu tribe. He was originally a Xianbei tribe that came to the northwest earlier than Tuyuhun. Later, Tuyuhun established Tuyuhun, and Yifu tribe also joined. Yifu tribe was famous for his ability to fight and was very powerful in riding and shooting.

Yifu Abao family inherited the Gaoning King and was the famous Wang family in Tuyuhun.

After Fu Yun's death, Abao governor Qiemo also governed by Noh Hobo, Shanshan, but on the grounds of his young age, his uncle, King Murong Ying, was appointed as the governor.

Later, Li Shimin specially brought Nuohuo Bo to Chang'an and raised it in the palace for three years. Because Murong Shun said that his wife missed her son, Li Shimin later asked Murong Shun, who came to the court, to take his son back and stayed in Fuqi City.

Although Tuyuhun was divided into four governors' offices, in fact, Qiemo and Shanshan in the west were integrated into one. Murong Ying, the governor of Shanshan, was killed in the battle during the Tang Dynasty's campaign against the Western Turks. The court gave more favors and rewards, and then asked Yifu Abao to lead Shanshan's office on his behalf.

Therefore, the four governors' offices are actually divided into three parts. Governor Murongshun is the governor of the West Sea around Qinghai, and Governor Murongcheng is the governor of Tuyuhun, and Governor of Heyuan.

Yifu Abao has a high prestige and is good at fighting. His twin daughters serve as concubines for Qin Lang and gave birth to a daughter for Qin Lang. This relationship is true. He is now the only one in the west of Tuyuhun.

He did not conspire with the king.

Even Murong Shun made Abao's youngest daughter a fiancée for his son Nuo Hobo, so Abao was not only Qin Lang's father-in-law and Nuo Hobo's father-in-law.
