From the Xiongnu to Rouran, then from Rouran to the Turks, and then from the Turks to Xueyantuo, it seems that the land of Mobei has gone through several changes of power. In fact, it is not as vicissitudes of life as it seems. Although hundreds of years have passed, the story of that humiliating defeat for the Hu people is still widely circulated among the tribes.
When led by Fang Jun, Xue Wanche, Xue Rengui, Gao Kan, Li Siwen, Qu Tuguan, Zhang Xiangxiang and other Tang army generals, led by several old Hu herdsmen, climbed the mountain along the rugged mountain road covered with snow. A towering mountain peak like clouds in Langjuxu Mountain, witnessing the legacy of the champions who climbed to the top of the mountain hundreds of years ago and swept away the Hulu, everyone's emotions are ups and downs, and their ambitions are intense!
Climb the mountain peak, stop and look out, the sky is high, the clouds are vast, and the fields are vast.
The vast land of Mobei with ice and snow stretches before our eyes towards the boundless sky. The strong wind in our ears seems to still echo the shouts and horns of the heroes of the past who fought bravely. In the wind and clouds, there seem to be countless martyrs galloping on their horses. , attack the enemy with a long sword!
The generals of the hussars are brave, they drive six moves, they are struck by lightning and thunder!
That is the most noble achievement of the Han nation, and it is the most glorious memory of the descendants of China. Generation after generation of Han family members follow the footsteps of their ancestors, using their never-failing blood and courage to send out an unyielding cry to the Hulu outside the Great Wall. resistance.
Today, Langjuxu Mountain is at your feet. The heroes of the past have become legends, but the unbending backbone of the Han family has been passed down from generation to generation!
Bazhuo had the consciousness of "leading the way" and suggested that another stone tablet should be erected to engrave his merits on it and praise it for eternity.
But Fang Jun refused.
Just like the reason he had at Yudujun Mountain before, Fang Jun didn't think that his achievements as a time traveler could be compared with those of his forefathers who had conquered the world and created the world. For those ancestors, he has a pious and admiring respect for future generations. If his name is left next to the stone carvings of his ancestors, it is an insult to the ancestors.
Perhaps one day, he can march to the Alps and drink from the Danube River, so that he can brag unscrupulously...
However, Fang Jun also became interested. While waiting for the imperial court's decision on Mobei to arrive, he was very bored and led his soldiers to pay homage to Huo Qubing's place of worship in Guyan Mountain. The interest was not gone, so he galloped all the way north. Crossing the icy and snowy fields and reaching the vast sea, you can enjoy the scenery of Lake Baikal more than a thousand years ago...
"Hanshu Biography of Huo Qubing" says: "General Hussar Qubing led his troops and bowed down to the men who were allowed to win. He made an appointment with Qingzhu, and cut off the curtain. He captured Shanyu Zhangqu, killed Bei Cheqi, and transferred to General Zuo. Shuang, won flags and drums, passed through Nanhou, helped Gong Lu, won three people including the Tuntou King and the Han King, and eighty-three generals, prime ministers, households, and captains. They were granted the title of Lang to live in Xushan and Zen in Guyan. , boarded Hanhai."
It is indeed an extraordinary pleasure to follow the champion's deeds!
*****
Chang'an.
After placing Yinan Khan in Qikol, who was still seriously injured, His Majesty Li Er rubbed his swollen temples and summoned a kind of minister of cultural relics to discuss matters in Liangyi Hall.
The matter discussed was naturally about the decision-making of Mobei.
In the battle report that Fang Jun sent back to the capital, he had already suggested that the imperial court should establish the Hanhai Protectorate in Mobei to manage the vast area from Monan to Hanhai. This suggestion was approved by several prime ministers and assistants, and those who were concerned were only the candidates for the Great Protectorate of the Hanhai Protectorate.
Changsun Wuji suggested that Fang Jun should be appointed directly. His reasons were very good. Fang Jun defeated the entire Mobei with one blow and one shot. This achievement was directly matched by Dou Xian and Huo Qubing. It was the "Fenglangju" of the Tang Dynasty. "Xu, Le Shi Yanran", his brilliance surpassed that of the Tang Dynasty, and no one could surpass him. Even Li Jing, who made a surprise attack on Yinshan and destroyed the Turkic Khanate, was dwarfed by him. It was he who should be the great protector and in charge of this area. The area of Thousand Miles is only slightly smaller than the vast area of the Tang Dynasty. One is to reward meritorious service and the other is to provide peace to the people. No one is more suitable than Fang Jun.
However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince strongly opposed it.
The matter had to be shelved for the time being. Afterwards, many forces began to compete for the position of the Grand Protector. There were many overt and covert battles, but His Majesty Li Er remained silent and the decision has been delayed to this day.
Now even Yi Nan Khan has been captured. Perhaps when he wakes up tomorrow, news of Xue Yantuo's complete demise will come. The establishment of the Protectorate cannot be delayed any longer. It must be put on the agenda immediately to consider the candidates for the entire Yamen. , immediately set off to Mobei to take over this area.
His Majesty Li Er took a sip of tea, looked at the ministers in the palace, and said in a deep voice: "Do you have any different opinions regarding the establishment of the Hanhai Protectorate in Mobei?"
When the matter comes to an end, it is natural to cut the knot quickly, but His Majesty Li Er is still very organized. He will fundamentally solve the general problem first, and then proceed step by step to prevent everyone from confusing the situation for their own little calculations. A mess.
All the ministers looked at each other and said in unison: "I have no objection."
It's just that it has been decided a long time ago, so naturally no one will jump out to object at this time.
His Majesty Li Er nodded and said: "Very good, in that case, the matter has been determined. Following the example of the Anxi Protectorate, the Hanhai Protectorate and the Shanyu Protectorate were established. The two are bounded by Qihai, and Tiele Zhufu is north of Qi. All the tribes were returned to the Hanhai Protectorate, and the area under their jurisdiction was from the north of Yinshan Mountain to Hanhai. The remaining Turkic tribes in Qinan were returned to the Shanhai Protectorate... Most of the governors were in the second rank of Cong. They were appointed by the imperial court and were elected every five years. After passing the assessment, we will decide whether to stay or leave."
All the ministers were silent.
After Xue Yantuo's army invaded, the Shanyu Protectorate's Mansion had become useless. The Great Protector Ashina Simo fled back to Yanmen Pass in embarrassment under the attack of Xue Yantuo's soldiers. He is still recovering from his injuries in Yanmen Pass. A few days ago, he even wrote to the emperor, requesting his resignation. Resign from official position and return to Beijing to retire...
This descendant of the Ashina family, the Turkic "Golden Wolf Family", was probably used to enjoying the glory and wealth in Chang'an. He was tired of the cold wind and bitter snow at the frontier. He was frightened when he saw the Xue Yantuo people's cavalry. They no longer have the majestic power of their ancestors who marched on the frontier and galloped across the grasslands.
I just want to be a wealthy idler in Chang'an and indulge in sex...
Anyway, he is not his own child. No one will denounce him for such a degenerate and unmotivated child. On the contrary, Ashina Simo's "high official" has vacated a position as the chief protector of the Shanyu Protectorate. , and each has his own plans.
Compared with Mobei, a land of bitter cold, Monan, a land with rich water and grass, has always been the key to the north of Guanzhong because it is close to Yanmen Pass. It is also the starting point of the "Six Towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty". The nobles of Guanlong are eyeing this location. , do your part.
Changsun Wuji glanced at His Majesty Li Er and said, "I think it would be better for the Prince-in-law and Taichang Shaoqing Xiao Rui to be the candidate for the Grand Protector of the Hanhai Protectorate."
"Um?"
His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by the choice of Changsun Wuji, and asked: "What is the reason for the auxiliary machine to recommend Xiao Rui?"
Changsun Wuji said: "Xiao Rui is the consort of the Princess of Xiangcheng, a royal relative, and the queen of the Duke of Song Dynasty. There is no question about the loyalty and ability of the officials of the country. Previously, Xiao Siye, a descendant of the Xiao family, and Fang Junli cooperated with each other, and staged a plot After a bitter plot, he finally helped Fang Jun defeat Xue Yantuo, captured Yi Nan Khan, and settled the situation in Mobei through the "death" method. It was a great contribution! It was a pity that he died at the hands of a barbarian. The martyr's blood was so bloody that the sky wept. What a tragedy! This meritorious service cannot be buried, it must be inherited by the descendants of the Xiao family, so that they can be worthy of the heroic spirit of a loyal minister!"
He brought up Xiao Siye's deeds and believed that the Xiao family should enjoy this honor.
This is not wrong. Xiao Siye is dead, and his family should benefit from his achievements. However...
His Majesty Li Er felt as if he had swallowed a fly and was so disgusted.
loyalty?
Mother...
I wish I could kill that traitor with a thousand knives, but now I have to brag about his "loyalty" again and again?
This is really unreasonable!
However, it's disgusting. It was his idea to "cleanse" Xiao Siye and set him up as a model of loyal ministers and martyrs. Now it seems that the effect is not bad. I don't know how many hot-blooded people have been infected, hoping to go into battle to kill the enemy. Serving the country, is it possible that he can still retaliate now?
Even if the cake you make is poisonous, you still have to swallow it with tears in your eyes.
It’s just that I can’t help but feel unwilling...
How could a traitor who betrayed his ancestors and collaborated with the enemy and treason still be able to harm the Meng family?
His Majesty Li Er rolled his eyes, looked at Xiao, and asked in a deep voice: "Song Guogong, what do you think?"
He didn't ask anyone else, but just asked Xiao, which has no profound meaning.
