Chapter 68 Epilogue 4: Governor of the Imperial Department (Part 2)

"There is this news. It is said that the Juyan Governor's Office was set up by the court during the reign of Emperor Gaozong. The leader was originally Dugu, and was later given the surname Li and was also named Duke. However, since the Holy Emperor was in power, he has rarely heard of the message from the Ministry."

"It is said that since the last male governor of the department passed away, the heroine has been in charge. Recently, this person is also, but unfortunately died a few months ago."

"Originally, the Ministry of the Great Protectorate was directly under the jurisdiction of Anbei Protectorate, and now it is temporarily the Ministry of the Ministry of the Great Protectorate Shi Dugu Xiu."

"There is another allusion here. This tribe is the authentic Yuwen Xianbei, and the Khitan and Xi are other tribes. The chief of this tribe has always been surnamed Yuwen, and the Dugu tribe is just a tribe general. It was later transferred. However, after the Dugu tribe replaced Yuwen, he continued to marry Yuwen... "

Speaking of this, Bai Xiaode suddenly stopped and stared at Sun Xiurong for a long time. When Sun Xiurong was about to shout, he said, "Dalang, I'm sorry, because what I'm going to say next is related to you, so..."

"Dalang, you also know that Ru Aweng is the adopted son of Sun Wanrong, a Khitan man. Sun Wanrong is one of the leaders of the Dahe clan, one of the eight tribes of the Khitan. The marriage partner of the Dahe clan is Yuyuling tribe, one of the eight tribes. This division also left the turf part, and it is actually the Yuwen tribe."

"But your mother is the descendant of the last male governor of the Ministry of the Cun, Juedu. She was promised to your father by Sun Wanrong since childhood, and then sent to the Western Regions together. According to the tradition of the Ministry of the Cun, your grandfather should be the Dugu family. Now that the Dugu family of the Cun is withering, some of them are just young children and young girls, completely unable to bear the responsibility."

"At present, the Khitan Governor Li Huaixiu and the Xi tribe Li Yanchong have written to the court to have Dugu in their tribe. People of Yuwen and the two bloodlines of Yuwen go to the Khitan Governor to succeed them, because the Dugu family of the Wu tribe, in addition to marrying the Yuwen family in the main unit, in order to stabilize the surrounding area, they often marry their daughter to the Xi tribe and the Khitan royal family."

"The court naturally refused. If that were the case, whether it was the Khitan or Xi, it would be possible to annex the sacred tribe in a short period of time. You should know that although after experiencing the Battle of Sanggan River and An Lushan, Shi Siming and the two families captured their lives over the years, and the two families were decreasing, there were still more than 30,000 households. If they suddenly obtained most of the sacred tribes, they would become the majority of the sacred tribes of about 50,000 or 60,000 households."

"A large part of 50,000 or 60,000 households is enough to threaten the Tang Dynasty, so the court naturally does not allow it."

"After thinking about it, someone reported that you were talking about your life experience and your experience at Saiyechuan, and this kind of news came about..."

Fortunately, Dugu Jun revealed his details to him before, otherwise even Sun Xiurong, who had experienced three lives, would have fallen off his chin. However, although he is still a little uneasy at the moment, he is still under control.

He felt that he would not think about this matter for now, "Brother Bai, are you here for this matter?"

Bai Xiaode seemed a little embarrassed on his face, and after a while, he said, "Dalang, if this matter is true, I am willing to go to the Ministry of War with you. Compared with Saiyechuan, the environment there is even worse. The court will most likely allow you to take away thousands of soldiers. I want to see if Sun Xiurong, who can survive in Saiyechuan, who is surrounded by Turks, can survive in Mobei as well."

"You know, the Turks, Uighurs, Shi Wei, Khitan, and Xi tribe are all strong and good at fighting..."

"Hahaha," Sun Xiurong laughed to the sky, "That's for sure, Brother Bai, you can stay in our mansion first, and then talk about it after I receive the official appointment."

A few days later, he met Li Jixun, whom he sent to Chang'an to work, and this time, Li Jixun brought him exact news.

"Governor, that's true. When I learned about it, I quickly rode a fast horse and came back first. According to the itinerary, the people who read the imperial edict in ten days will arrive. By the way, there were two people who read the imperial edict, one was the eunuch Li Fuguo, and the other was Shi Dugu Xiu, the chief of the Anbei Protectorate, and the governor. This person is the same as Dugu Jun, and is still from your mother's clan."

Sun Xiurong nodded, "Okay, let's talk about your affairs with Zhang Han in the mainland when the imperial edict arrives."

"Yes, Governor, after I arrived in Chang'an with Zhang Lushi, I quickly bought a big house with the assistance of the Ju merchants. It happened to be between the east and west markets, and it was hidden deep in the market. According to your instructions, do not find the mansion of the big official who was convicted or demoted and returned home, but the mansion of the big merchant. This mansion happened to be from the Hu merchants in the Western Regions. After the price was negotiated, I bought it."

"After settled down, I found some suitable population on the market. However, although they were poor and sick, I heard that the migration location was still in Anxi, outside the seven towns of Beiting, and there were Hu people around me, so I didn't want to come. Now I have only found dozens of households..."

"Well, am I going to transfer now? Let's talk about this later. I'll ask Zhang Han to investigate in Youzhou. It's time for some news."

"Of course, after Zhang Han returned to Youzhou, he immediately contacted Yu Wenjing, who was serving as military envoy in the Weiwu Army in Tanzhou. The Yu army was also very happy after making the governor. However, his Weiwu Army was located on the border of Youzhou, which was originally the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Xi tribe. His prestige was only available in Tanzhou, but he was unable to speak in the general town of Fanyang Jiedu, who was in Youzhou."

Sun Xiurong nodded. Tanzhou is Miyun in later generations, and is now also called Miyun County, which is one of the barriers of Youzhou.

"Yu Wenjing was still a deputy envoy not long ago, and has been promoted to the official envoy now?"

"Yes, Yu Wenjing is very skilled in martial arts and has also been trained in the Wanqi Camp in the capital. He is already a disciple of the emperor. After coming to Tanzhou, he served as the deputy envoy of the Weiwu Army as the Northkou Guard. This person is very clear. After learning about the actions of An Lushan and Shi Siming brothers, he also started to capture the life and tried his best to make friends with the Jiedushi Pei Kuan."

"It just so happened that his wife died of illness last year. His second wife came from Pei Kuan's relatives. She had a lot of credit for catching the lives and her relationship with the governor, so she naturally rose to the high position of military envoy."

Sun Xiurong nodded, "Li Lang, since the road is complete, we can't focus all our attention on Talas..."

Li Jixun was shocked, "Governor, do you want to give up Talas?"

Sun Xiurong shook his head, "It's impossible, but since the imperial edict has been issued, do you know who will succeed the position of governor of the governor of the Saiyechuan Governor's Office? It's probably Li Fei Shouyu."

Li Jixun nodded, "Yes, this was recommended by the Fumeng Jiedushi himself. Feng Changqing was still the chief minister, and Sima was appointed by the Jiedushi Jiedushi Office."

"Oh? Do you know who it is?"

"It is said to be an acquaintance of the governor, Wang Tao"

"oh?"

Sun Xiurong nodded and thought to himself: "I have expected to replace Li Fei Shouyu with him. According to the idea of ​​Meng Lingcha, Li Fei Shouyu is a descendant of the Qiang people and is the same clan as him, but is just a slave of the Yang family. Once he sits on the high position of governor, how can he not be grateful to him?"

After a while, he said to Li Jixun: "Li Lang, go back first. After you go back, you tell Zhang Han that since he is from Youzhou, go back to Youzhou and ask him to set up a stronghold in Tanzhou. Tanzhou is next to the Xi tribe, and there should be a large number of livestock, horses, and fur for trading. Setting up a stronghold there will be no one else to say."

"You continue to station in Chang'an and continue to collect population. By the way, after Zhang Han arrived in Tanzhou, he also collected populations in Tanzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou. According to the rules of our Tang Dynasty, the guards and military envoys would have to work for at least five years before they could be transferred to another place. In other words, Yu Wenjing could stay in Tanzhou for five years. Five years is enough for Zhang Han to collect some Dingkou."

Li Jixun's eyes lit up, but they dimmed in an instant, "Governor, do you want to get the population to the junta? It's unlikely that there are Xi tribes and Khitans in the middle."

Sun Xiurong smiled and said, "Who could have known before that I could still connect the entire Suiyechuan tribes in Talas? Look, I believe that this day will come in Raoleshui."

"Rao Leshui?"

"Ahem, it is said that the territory of the Xi tribe, Khitan and Wu tribe are all next to the Dahe Raole River. According to their language, it is Huangshui. The court also set up the Raole Governor's Office in the Xi tribe. It can be seen that the water flows through a wide range. Besides, I have heard that the Khitan and Xi tribes were actually formed by many tribes, and they are not the same surname."

"The Xi tribe didn't know that there were eight Khitan tribes. Could it be that they all followed the Xi and Khitan royal tribes sincerely? It is not necessarily true that as long as they were not a single piece, we would have a way to do it. I heard that when Shi Siming was the general of the capture of the student, he tricked Xi tribe's chief Zuo Gao Shi to the mainland. Can't we do what Shi Siming could do?"

Li Jixun said: "Otherwise, the Xi tribe has many dens, and the Khitan is a little weak. The Xi tribe has five tribes, which can farm and build cars. The Khitan population is less, but it is also more fierce. At present, the two tribes have a total of 60,000 to 70,000 households, and 50,000 strong men are produced, and the Xi tribe alone can produce 30,000 strong men."

"Thirty thousand people are thirty thousand cavalry, and the Xi tribe is good at iron and wooden tools, and even infantry battles are also used to..."

Shan Sun Xiurong felt a little nervous when he heard this, "Can you know if they have a standing army?"

"Of course there are. There are 5,000 people in Xi, and at least 3,000 Khitans, all of which are near the king's tent. They can collect 30,000 strong men within one month."

"Where is the fountain?"

"It is said that the tsunami tribe was in the beginning between the Turks, Xi tribes, and Khitans, never invaded others, and had a good reputation. King Tsui also believed that it could maintain a balance between the tribes. Don't you know that it was because the power of each tribe has not reached a certain level, and the Turks also needed neutral tsunami people through the fierce and warlike Khitans."

"Since the death of the royal family of the Wu tribe has faded, it has naturally become fat in the mouths of the surrounding tribes. Originally, the tribe had the largest mouths, with 40,000 or 50,000 tents, and now only about half of them are left. However, near the king's tent, there are still about 3,000 young and strong cavalry loyal to the Dugu clan."

"In the north, the Wuluohou tribe, which has now surrendered to the Bohai Kingdom, the Khitan tribe in the east, the Xi tribe in the south, and the Baye Gu tribe in the west, and the Wuluohou tribe in the west, which is not very large. After the Wuluohou tribe was attacked by the Bohai Kingdom, the power of the Baye Gu tribe was greatly reduced, and the Baye Gu tribe has always been incompatible with the Turks. It is the same as the Uighur tribe, and there are not many Dantes."

"In other words, the main ones who are eyeing the Chou tribe are the Xi tribe and the Khitan?"
