What's more, I don't understand how this woman can do extremely bohemian things while still maintaining an air of aloofness and nobility that won't tolerate anyone's blasphemy. Huang Qiong didn't even know how many faces this woman had, let alone how good she was at disguising. In addition to knowing that Duan Lin is a woman with extraordinary skills and scheming. The only thing he knew was that this woman was like a hungry wolf that could never be fed enough.
It was precisely this style that fascinated that guy so much that he became his right-hand man in the Western Regions. Even if Duan Lin occasionally showed a little temper and showed jealousy, instead of making him feel any disgust, it actually made him even more obsessed with her. So this time, the reason why Duan Lin was sent back to the capital together was not because she couldn't stand Duan Lin's jealous temper. How could he not understand Duan Lin's temperament? But in addition to taking care of his son, he still has ulterior motives, and is even somewhat forced by the situation.
Duan Lin had only been in the Western Regions for more than a year, but she almost encountered accidents several times. This made him really uneasy. He left Duan Lin in the Western Region and did not even dare to take his son away with him. In addition to the internal shit-stirring sticks, there are still a large number of them, and they have never been completely cleaned. There is another important reason, and that is because the Xijiasi people in the Western Regions have always been ambitious. On the surface, the two alliances are said to be in order to deal with the Kara Khanate and the Uighurs. But in fact, in the secret, there are always small moves.
In fact, what they want is not only to consolidate the alliance between the two through marriage. He even wanted to seize his territory in the Western Region without bloodshed in the future by supporting heirs with his own bloodline. In order to restore the dominance of Mobei for nearly a hundred years, it was not until the rise of the Khitans that they were destroyed. Most of them were forced to move westward to the foot of Congling. They endured the discomfort caused by the surrounding Wanren Snow Mountains and nomadically lived in barren mountain pastures. The glory of the Xijias Khanate built in the past to govern the entire Mobei grassland .
Of course, this is only part of the ambition of the Xijiasi people. Another part of the reason is that the Xijiasi people and the Uighurs themselves have a feud that is difficult to resolve. In the former Tang Dynasty, they were unable to control the Turkic homeland. He then tried his best to support the Uighurs who had a good relationship with the former Tang Dynasty, and established the northern and southern Uighur Khanate in the desert that replaced the former Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Uyghur Khanate, which dominated the desert and controlled almost the entire Turkic homeland, was finally destroyed by the 100,000 cavalry commanded by Xijias, who teamed up with the Uighur rebel generals to raid the royal court.
The Uighurs, who had lost their royal court, were unwilling to be ruled by the Chigas, who they originally regarded as slaves. Most of the Uighurs, in order to survive, had no choice but to move westward to where they are now nomadic in the Western Regions. After several integrations with the original local tribes, the Xizhou Uighurs were finally established. It became the political power that all the Uighurs who fled to the Western Regions relied on. Until they were deposed by Shu and forced their way into the Western Regions. After several hard battles and taking advantage of the divisions and contradictions within the Uighurs, they finally destroyed the Xizhou Uighurs and controlled all the territory of the entire Xizhou Uighurs.
Compared with the Uighurs who dispersed to the Western Regions more than a hundred years ago. After the destruction of the Uighur Khanate, the Xijiasi Khanate established by the Xijiasi people has dominated the Mobei grassland for more than 80 years. The grudges of that year also made the Xijiasi people and the Uighurs become mortal enemies. Originally, one was nomadic in the northern desert grasslands, and the other was expanding territory in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Region. However, the two lived in peace for more than a hundred years. But things are unpredictable, and no one expected that the Khanate established by the Xijias people would also fall apart under the attack of the Khitan people. ,
The Xijiasi people themselves were forced by the Khitans, and most of them had no choice but to move westward. By the time the Xijiasi people moved westward, the Western Regions had been controlled by the Uighurs who had arrived earlier. Most of the most fertile grassland in the entire Western Region and the cultivated land have fallen into the hands of the Uighurs. Under the attack of the Uighurs, the Xijiasi people, who were already severely weakened, were unable to compete with the Uighurs for the Western Region. They can only continue to move westward and survive under the shelter of the Kara Khanate, or simply use it.
When the Xizhou Uighurs controlled the Western Regions, the Xijiasi people and the Uighurs had constant wars, both large and small, almost every year. Even when the Xizhou Uighurs fell into civil strife, the two did not forget to stab each other. The Shu waste people were able to break into the Western Regions, and it can be said that the Xijiasi people made the greatest contribution. But now, the Western Regions were first controlled by Shu useless people who were born as Han people. The king of Anxi who was canonized by himself has replaced the dead Shu useless people to control the Western Regions. And that guy was supported by Da Qi Chao. It obviously gave those Chigas people hope.
Then I thought about joining forces with that guy to deal with the Uighur tribes who still actually control most of the Western Region. In this case, marriage is the first option. And Duan Lin may have become a thorn in the side of those Xijiasi people in the Western Region. If her son was taken to the Western Regions, he would probably become a thorn in the flesh of those people. This was why he wanted to keep Duan Lin and her son in Jingzhao for a while. Because for the Xijiasi people, he wanted to use them to compete with the extremely powerful Uighurs, but he was even more wary of this group of unreliable people.
In his opinion, the Xijiasi people have always been profit-seeking, and they were able to betray the Uighur Khanate back then. At the critical moment, you can betray him for profit. Moreover, the Xijiasi people were very ambitious back then and always wanted to build tents in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. It was just that they had no choice but to retreat to the north of Jinshan Mountain. Now facing the feuding Uighurs, they are just joining forces for profit. In the future, when it comes time to fall out, I'm afraid it will be faster than anyone else. How could he really dare to believe this kind of tribe that would always fall out?
He formed a temporary alliance with the Chigas in order to restrain the Uighurs, who were also capricious. But he was also very tired of the Chigas people's little actions behind his back. Especially the little tricks he made against Duan Lin with the Xijiasi people had already touched his bottom line. Especially during this year, the prince of Xijiasi, since meeting Duan Lin a year ago, has often come to Xizhou uninvited. And every time he saw Duan Lin's eyes, the uncontrollable greed made him feel extremely disgusted.
That bastard was shocked when he saw Duan Lin for the first time. He even publicly offered to exchange Duan Lin with him at the cost of 10,000 horses. Although he was forcefully rejected, he still never gave up. Every time I come to Xizhou, the look in Duan Lin's eyes is almost undisguised. If not the interior, there are some not-so-reliable ones that need cleaning. The key is that he now lacks Han generals who can take charge of his own affairs. He still couldn't completely rest assured about those Uighur generals. Otherwise, he would have taken action against the Chigas people long ago.
Huang Qiong frowned slightly after hearing Duan Lin's words. These things, the information in his hand, had never been mentioned. Although he also knew that although there were not as many tribes in the Western Regions as there were in the Mobei Plateau, the situation was also quite complicated. But I never thought that it would be so complicated. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong gently patted Duan Lin and said: "Tell me the specific situation of the Western Regions now. Remember, this is related to him, and maybe the life and death of your whole family. Don't have any hide."
Seeing Huang Qiong's serious words, Duan Lin burst into laughter. But she didn't answer him immediately, but lowered her head. Seeing this woman doing something like this at this time, Huang Qiong shook her head helplessly. Just when he was about to say something, Duan Lin turned over and sat on him, then leaned on his chest and whispered softly: "It's better to say this. I have been starving for more than a year, and today Your Majesty must compensate me well. Just now, His Majesty spent most of his energy on that little beauty."
"Right now, there are only three of us, and Your Majesty has to feed me. Don't worry, I won't delay the things Your Majesty needs to know. As for the past few years in the Western Regions, he has actually had a hard time. Shu waste man. The troops he left behind can be described as a mess. There are the old troops who ran all the way from western Sichuan with him. There are the Tibetan cavalry recruited from the Qing and Tang Dynasties. There are also the Uighur rebels who conquered the Western Regions. These people were very popular at the time. Most of them are half-hearted towards Shu's useless people. They are just afraid of Shu's useless people and their vicious methods."
"When I got to him, I was almost unwilling to even obey on the surface. Even if Mr. Guo helped him integrate and was so tired that he vomited blood several times, it was still difficult to truly obey. The more than 100,000 cavalry left by the useless people in Shu truly obeyed him The only one left was Mr. Guo, the 30,000 troops and horses commanded by his confidants. The rest of the troops were either waiting and watching, or working on their own. There were even a few people who wanted to take advantage of the complicated terrain of the Western Regions to separate one side and establish themselves as kings. There were two more They secretly colluded with the Uighur nobles and the Kara Khanate."
"Wanting to take advantage of the fact that the Shu cripples had just died, he went to the Western Regions without any foundation and wanted to replace them. Faced with the chaotic situation, until he became cruel and summoned the most disobedient Tubo generals in the name of rewards. Xizhou captured and killed them in one fell swoop. They also disbanded the Tubo army and either made them nomadic on the spot or sent them back to the Qingtang Plateau. They also used ruthless tactics to get rid of three generals from the old Shu army. They also led 40,000 people. He took the army and horses into his own possession. He took two noble girls from the Uighur tribe as concubines, and the marriage won the support of some Uighur nobles."
"After subduing the secret agent system under the Shu waste man, he can barely gain a foothold. Even so, there are still some people internally who are dissatisfied. But even so, he can only control less than 80%. Facing the Kara Khanate to the west, and The Uighur royal family of Xizhou retreated to the territory of the Kara Khanate, and the Nian Bage tribe's rangers north of Jinshan were constantly harassed and had no choice but to take a defensive stance. They were forced to form an alliance with the Xijias people, who had always been the leader and the rat at both ends, to share the burden of the Kara Khanate. To harass, concentrate most of the troops and use all their strength to deal with the Nianbage tribe north of Jinshan Mountain."
"The terrain of the Western Regions, the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains is basically a desert. There are a small number of oases with water, which have long been cultivated by the local people. There are actually not many places for farming, and most of them are concentrated at the southern foot of Jinshan Mountain. Although Jinshan Mountain is steep, it is not close to the Compared with the snow-capped mountains of Congling, which stand thousands of feet high, the Tianshan Mountains are actually not high. And there are many passes in the mountains. The Nianbage tribe is worried that once this country becomes strong, it will move north and annex them. So they have to cross Jinshan Mountain almost every year. Go south to harass the farming areas. Even if you plunder food, you will also weaken his strength."
"And the farmland at the southern foot of Jinshan Mountain is the lifeblood of the Western Region. Now, he can only focus on dealing with the Nianbage people there. As for the south of Tianshan Mountain, those tribes who still have different ideas are a little worried. No. The reason why he has always tolerated the little actions of the Xijiasi people is because the Nianbage people have distracted most of his energy. In fact, the biggest problem in the Western Regions now is that there are too few Han people. Those who are like this , many tribes like that only obey on the surface."
Sure enough, it was just as Duan Lin said, even her madness did not delay her from telling Huang Qiong what she wanted to know. Huang Qiong has already mastered quite a few of the things Duan Lin mentioned. But there are many things Huang Qiong doesn't know. In the information about Beizhen Fusi, it has never been mentioned.
