Chapter 28 The Shocking Plan

For Sun Xiurong, since he could send Bai Xiaode's Suoye Camp to the Ministry a year in advance, he would naturally not miss the nearby Shiniu Town. He prepared Ma Lin, the governor and guard of Zhaowu Prefecture, early in the morning.

After finding out the road along the Mishui River (Zeravshang River) to the Kizilsu River Valley, when the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty began, he asked Li Jincai, the governor of Pengxian, to take over the place centered on Chihe Post and build a castle there when the civil unrest broke out in the Tang Dynasty.

(Chiheyi, later generations of Salitash, Kyrgyzstan)

After the Chihe Post was upgraded to Chihe City, it completely locked the road from the Bahanna Basin to cross the Alai Mountains to the Kizilsu River Valley, and then returned to Shule Town.

The most convenient road to Shule Town was blocked, so they could only cross the Palacio Plateau.

He did this to strengthen Tian Zhen's desire to surrender. For Tian Zhen, because the retreat was blocked, there was no other way except for surrendering Sun Xiurong, who was currently at least nominally under the command of the Tang Dynasty.

If he surrendered to the Patans who were not even as good as the barbarians in the northern desert, or the great merchants who were extremely fanatical to the Great Food Church, Tian Zhen would not do this.

After all, the Shattered Ye Jun is a force that speaks Tang language.

Sun Xiurong wasted two months in Huaishuo Town, so he naturally had his considerations. This time, he brought enough food and grass for three months to make long-term plans.

There is only one month left in the food and grass, and he must take action!

If this plan is really shocking, it will be a bit shocking. Not to mention others, it is unlikely even if he thinks about it himself.

But he still did it.

Because this is his only chance.

Strictly speaking, the Thunder Ye Army seemed to be somewhat similar to the Tubo people at this time, and was a little fanatical obsessed with Dingkou, but the Tubo people used most of the people who had been captured from the Central Plains as slaves. According to his system, in a high and barren land, it was impossible to support hundreds of thousands of troops without a larger slave (extremely exploiting slaves, allowing them to farm, grazing, and creating equipment. In order to stabilize them, Tibetan Buddhism came into being). Without hundreds of thousands of troops, how could he rely on to compete with the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food?

However, the Sailing Ye Army is a force that can truly treat the people well.

Sun Xiurong knew that in the late Anshi Rebellion, due to the weak army in Hexi and Longyou, the Tubo people launched a large-scale attack and once captured Chang'an. Although they eventually returned in failure, they plundered a large number of people from the capital and the inner roads. Some of these people were later placed in Hexi, laying a solid foundation for the final rise of the Dangxiang people.

Instead of letting these people become part of the Tubo battle for hegemony, it is better to take advantage of yourself. Of course, as a Chinese from later generations, Sun Xiurong would definitely weaken Tubo at the same time.

In the north, the Uighurs were in high spirits. Later, they were defeated by the army of the hargas people and rushed westward, laying the foundation for the entire Western Region for hundreds of years. This scene was something that Sun Xiurong didn't want to see.

At the same time, it was naturally what he wanted to weaken the Uighurs.

There is also Khitan, which is easy to do.

If the Anshi Rebellion was used to weaken the Tubo, Uighurs, and Khitan through some design or war, and the Tang Dynasty could not be relieved in a short period of time, his goal would be achieved.

There are two lifelines of the Tubo people: one is population and the other is Buddhism. Buddhism makes its decline happen naturally. However, in the near future, it needs a fatal war. In fact, almost at the same time as the Anshi Rebellion, the Tubo people's king was killed by his ministers, and there was chaos inside. Now the young lord is in power and powerful ministers are in power. If the Tang Dynasty did not have the Anshi Rebellion and had a group of capable ministers and generals, it would be easy to destroy the country.

A few years later, the Tubo people gathered 200,000 troops to Chang'an. If the Tang Dynasty could annihilate it at this time, or partially annihilate it, it would have been a decades-long peace in the northwestern border, but unfortunately it still failed.

With 200,000, the entire Tubo has almost the whole country's strength.

Of course, the Tang monarchs and ministers at this time did not realize this, and even realized that they were powerless at the end of the Anshi Rebellion.

Think about it, due to the emergence of the Thunder Ye Army, what would the East Asian world look like without aggressive Tubo, Uighur, and Khitan?

All this can be achieved with his seven camps?

It's impossible to think about it.

This is the real reason why he wasted a month in Huaishuo Town at the risk of cutting off food and grass.

The message he received is:

Bai Xiaode has successfully completed the Liaodong strategy and confronted Shi Siming at Yuguan;

Abus has completed the Tanshi Huaitai strategy, and his army has surged to more than 10,000, which has shocked the Khitan in the east and threatened the Uighurs in the west;

The mountain camp in the middle road had successfully defeated the Khitans and occupied the territory of the Neil tribe, opening up the connection between the hinterland of Yanshan and Yuguan.

Yelu Neri was indeed the true founder of the Khitans. When he learned that Bai Xiaode was coming from the south, he immediately made a quick decision and withdrew the army back to the Raole River Basin, and asked his youngest son Yelu Piga to come to his camp in person as a proton to apologize.

Of course, there are too many camps in Nan Gongxi and Kang Xiaorong.

The Khitans are the weakest at the moment and are ranked last in the ranking of Sun Xiurong's plan. Niri is doing this in his mind. If Niri is not the soft-shaped Niri who is in charge of the government, but is extremely strong and fierce, he must first solve the Khitans.

As for the Anshi rebels, most of the current divisions by the Tang army in Chang'an, Luoyang, Hedong, Youzhou, Nanyang and other places. Sun Xiurong, a soldier from Youzhou, did not take it seriously.

For Shi Siming, although the appearance of the Shattered Ye Army in Yu Pass was a bit abrupt, his number one enemy is still Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi Shuo's Fang Army in Hedong!

The latest news is that Shi Siming is no longer near Yuguan. The confrontation with Gao Tinghui's Ye Army who stayed in Yuguan became An Lushan's confidant, Xu Guidao, the former governor of Pingzhou.

Everything is moving in the expected direction.

But Sun Xiurong is still worried.

"At this time, the Uighur Khan of Shi was not Guli Peiluo or Mo Yanchu, but Ye Hu, who was full of energy. If he had to fight with me, it would be really difficult to deal with. Although I had arranged a backup plan, if I could not decide during the war for a long time, I would still suffer."

"Also, because of my appearance, the rebels, who were already tense, had a chance to buffer. In this world, there were no strict enemy and us, otherwise those Tian Chengsi, Li Zhongchen and others who were originally rebel generals would not have transformed into Heshuo vassal states!"

"For Tang Ting, as long as the main evilman An Lushan family is destroyed, it will probably be fine, otherwise he would not accept Shi Siming's surrender."

"If it's not done well, Uighurs, Tang army, rebels, and Khitans will be laughing at me."

Sun Xiurong replied to Li Mi, saying that "Ye Jun came this time to serve the king. I will do my best to say anything. Li Lang must not worry about this."

Of course, in order to strengthen Li Mi's heart, he also wrote: "The Tang army, the rebels were confronting in Chang'an and Taiyuan, and Youzhou was empty. It is said that the rebels took Chang'an, Luoyang, Luokou Cang, Hanjia Cang, and Taiyuan Cang to transport a large amount of supplies to Youzhou afterwards."

"This is the original protector's intention?"

The general idea is that I am here to serve the king and will definitely fight with the rebels. Youzhou is now empty, but the main force of the Tang army is restrained in Taiyuan and Chang'an, and is unable to disturb the enemy. So I came down to complete this arduous task by the old army who was familiar with the grassland, and snatched some food and grass as a resource for serving the king. This is not an exaggeration.

Sun Xiurong wrote this because Li Mi had proposed two major strategies in history. One was naturally to contact the cannibals to fight against the Tubo people, and the other was to take advantage of the emptiness of the rebels' hinterland and rush to disrupt the morale of the army from a long distance.

However, after returning to Chang'an, near Taiyuan, and Datong was still in the hands of the rebels, if the Tang Dynasty wanted to leave Youzhou, it would have to go south from the grassland. With the current ability of the Tang army, it was obviously impossible. After Sun Xiurong said this, Li Mi could most likely persuade Li Heng to agree with his statement.

For Li Heng, he could even pray for the Uighurs, and Sun Xiurong, who was nominally a minister of the Tang Dynasty, must have been reluctant to harass Youzhou from the north.

Of course, Sun Xiurong has his own comprehensive considerations, and it is not something that can be blocked by harassing the enemy's back.

After sending Zuimasui, he immediately summoned Su Xijie.

"Protector"

Su Xijie had just returned from Wolf Juxu Mountain. Since Sun Xiurong had been summoning Ma Sui before, he had not had time to summon him.

"Yidijian agreed with our opinions..."

"Slow down" is the most important thing Sun Xiurong planned. Although Ye Hu and Yidijian brothers were in conflict in history, they were very likely to use counter-espionage strategies before facing his own enemy, so that the broken Ye army could enter the trap. How could Sun Xiurong be able to believe it in close contact?

"How did you conclude that he agreed? What else would besides slaughtering blood as an alliance, breaking arrows as an oath, and offering sacrifices to heaven?"

For people at this time, especially the grassland tribe, blood is an alliance, arrows are a vow, and sacrifice to heaven is almost the highest promise, but Sun Xiurong, who has been a human being for three lifetimes, dare not believe it.

"In the face of interests, these things are nothing. Most of the time, they are just a cover-up, no matter what era they are."

"The Great Protector", Su Xijie has been following Sun Xiurong for nearly twenty years, so he naturally understands his thoughts. "There are two key figures around Yidijian, one from Yaowuge, who is the son of Dide, one of the great logics of the Uighur Khanate today, and Dakedun, who is Yidijian, is the daughter of Dide."

"One is the son of the chief of the Baye Gu tribe. Since the death of his former Dakhan Jie Zhiluo, the Baye family has returned to power. This surname is also the only noble surname in the Baye Gu tribe. Another Daketun is the Baye Gu tribe."

"The Ministry of Justice not only reached an agreement with the official occasions of the Modijian, but also had a secret talk with these two people who held the real power of the Khanate's eastern territory, and also roughly understood their thoughts..."

"oh?"

"The Great Protector, compared with the cunning Guli Peiluo, Ye Hu is obviously much more fierce. At present, he is the main focus of guarding Wude Mountain and the Yakun River basin, while moving the land as the main focus of guarding Dule River. The regulation of Langjuxu Mountain was made by Guli Peiluo during his lifetime."

"But when Guli Peiluo divided the territory, there were nine surnames in the inner and nine surnames in the outer and nine surnames in total, Ye Hu occupied ten divisions, and the divine family occupied seven divisions. However, there were only five divisions under the command of the divine family. Each division was weakened a lot. In fact, only the nine surnames in the outer and the divine family were duo Lan Ge, and the two divisions of Baye Gu followed his orders."

"In the original division, the Tongluo people in the entire Dule River basin, who have read more and more Ge people, and the servants must accept the rule of moving and healthy land..."

Sun Xiurong opened his eyes suddenly.

"The most powerful people in the Dule River Basin are naturally the Tongluo people and the Pugu people. Just one of the Baye Gu tribe and the other of the Duoling Ge tribe are not enough to compete with Ye Hu for power!"

Thinking of this, he said, "Is Yidijian ready to put forward any flag?"

"Of course, it's similar to the people of the Central Plains. It's nothing more than purifying the lords. It's said that Ye Hu believed the slander of Yue Dun, Jabbar and others and wanted to get back the lost tribes, land, etc."

"Also, Yidijian wrote a letter by himself..."

"oh?"

"I saw him writing with my own eyes, written in Turkic text on a sheepskin, and he has brought it back."
