Chapter 65 Epilogue (3) Waves
Ashi doesn't come to the city.
The city is located between Talas and Suye City. It was originally the residence of the Western Turkic royal court. It was a small town dedicated to the Turkic Khan and his relatives. It was about three miles in a radius and was made of stones. It was one of the palaces of the former Turkic Khan Sulu. It is now the residence of the deputy governor of Anxi, Gai Jiayun, the governor of Jixi, and Li Fuguo, the ambassador of Anxi, and the ambassador of the Beiting Army.
When Li Fuguo learned that it was Bian Lingcheng who snatched Princess Jiaohe, he was angry.
Li Fuguo is 35 years old this year, ten years younger than Bian Lingcheng. He was originally named unknown. However, after Li Heng, the king of Zhong whom he served, was named the crown prince last year, he also rose to a high position. He first went to the provincial governor of the inner eunuch under Gao Lishi's jurisdiction, and then became a foster father. He was soon promoted to the fifth-rank internal official. After Li Heng was named the crown prince, he immediately took over the Great Protectorate of Anxi, and sent him to Anxi as the military supervisor.
Li Fuguo's face was pale, his facial features were distorted, and his appearance was extremely ugly. With his loyalty to Li Heng, he gradually rose to his current status. Since the prince was far away from home, he naturally had to think about the prince in everything.
If the saints favored Concubine Wu Hui in the past, even if Li Fuguo was the current crown prince, he would not dare to be too presumptuous to Concubine Wu Hui's son, King Shou, but it is different now.
Just two years ago, Concubine Wu Hui died of illness. Li Longji was depressed. At this time, he met his daughter-in-law, Yang Yuhuan, the Princess of Shou, and then he became out of control. Although he had not yet officially enthroned as a concubine, it was only a matter of time before Yang Yuhuan was favored by the saint. Comrade Li Longji felt embarrassed and asked Yang Yuhuan to decorate his appearance among female officials and female Taoist priests.
After Yang Yuhuan appeared, the king's longing for Concubine Wu Hui naturally gradually disappeared, and the favor that King Shou was received gradually faded.
As a familiar with internal court affairs, Li Fuguo naturally saw all this, and he knew that the opportunity to completely suppress Bian Lingcheng was coming.
But the general of Bian Lingcheng took over the "capital" Talas City, which was the "capital" of Tuqi Shiren, and took the lead in welcomeing Princess Jiaohe. The achievements made by him were no less than his, which made him feel a little in a daze.
Because Bi Sichen robbed Yi Jiancheng where Princess Jiaohe was located, only Ashi Bulai City is still intact. Under the instigation of Li Fuguo, he made a lot of money in Suye City, General Pei Luo City, and Baodajun City. Gai Jiayun, who had collected eighteen charming beards, barely took steps to Ashi Bulai City.
In the middle of Ashibulai City was a circular building. The building was designed and built according to a large tent. It was the tent of the Turkic Han kings. Later, it was occupied by the three heirs of the Western Turkic Turks, Husero and Wuzhile. By the time of Sulu, he asked the Tubo princess to live in this city, the Tang princess lived in Yijiancheng, and the Turkic princess lived in Suye City.
As soon as Su Lu died, the four towns in Anxi were recovered by the Tang Dynasty, and the Tubo princess was isolated and helpless, so she was naturally taken away by her eldest son Gu Chuo. However, she still lived in Ashibulai City. After Gai Jiayun arrived, the Tubo princess naturally became his new love.
Money and women are within reach for the generals of the border town. Gai Jiayun, who had been the governor of the Western Regions for several years, also came here like this.
Of course, as an eunuch, Li Fuguo was all in his mind, in addition to making achievements, and naturally devoted himself to money.
Under the instigation of Li Fuguo, Gai Jiayun ordered Fu Meng Lingcha and others to come to Ashibu to report the war situation.
Meng Lingcha did not dare to neglect him. After receiving Jun Ling, he asked Zhao Chongqi to guard Talas City. He took Bian Lingcheng and the yamen general Bi Sichen set off. Before that, after Bian Lingcheng's repeated persuasion, he barely took Sun Xiurong with him.
From Talas City to Suye City, it is about 600 miles away. The landform and climate are roughly the same as the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains in later generations. They are all grasslands and farmlands. The Qihe River Basin is the best place in the Yili River Valley. Since the Western Han Dynasty, the figures of the Central Plains dynasty appeared here. Under the influence of the Han Dynasty, the original Wusun people also grazed, farmed, built castles here, and built post roads in accordance with the regulations of the Han Dynasty.
After the Tang Dynasty entered the Western Regions again, the post road here was restored. Meng Lingcha asked his confidant Bi Sichen to take five hundred light cavalry and Li Fei Yuanli's thirty-tooth soldiers to run along the post road to Ashibulai City like lightning.
Since Sun Xiurong made great contributions to Talas, even Meng Lingcha was a little surprised, let alone Bi Sichen and Li Fei Yuanli?
Bi Sichen used to think that Sun Xiurong would not climb onto his head no matter what, but it is not certain now. Therefore, his eyes at Sun Xiurong were very unkind. However, after this, Li Fei Yuanli knew that he had been pulled down by Sun Xiurong from afar, so he became enthusiastic about him.
Sun Xiurong took Yuwen Yongnu and Geng Sidu, which was in line with his image as a young soldier leader. He followed Bian Lingcheng closely. Among the husband Meng Lingcha and Bian Lingcheng, he could not do anything to get along with each other. He could only choose one, and now he could only be Bian Lingcheng.
Since Bian Lingcheng was robbed in the Wakhan Valley, he usually brought at least a hundred cavalry when he traveled. In addition to the twenty cavalry allowed by the Eunuch Province, he naturally had a group of adopted sons he had taken in the Western Regions. Some of the Hu people who were either voluntarily or were castrated by him were all skilled in the bow and horse, and surrounded him tightly in the middle.
His favorite adopted son Bian Linghui, Bian Linghui, who was beautiful and beautiful, naturally could not leave for a moment.
Bian Linghui, who had just turned nine, looked very sad.
Bian Lingcheng has been lingering in the inner court for many years, how could he hang himself from a tree in King Shou?
Not long ago, his friend from the inner court sent him a letter, saying that His Highness the Crown Prince is very fond of a young eunuch named Yu Chaoen. Because Yu Chaoen is beautiful and beautiful, Li Heng's favor for him is still above Li Fuguo. Moreover, Li Fuguo is nominally a saint, and no matter how bad he is, he is still a Gao Lishi.
Bian Lingcheng immediately decided to make friends with Yu Chaoen. When he heard that Yu Chaoen had no adopted son, he thought of Bian Linghui. It was a coincidence that Bian Linghui was originally surnamed Yu and was still a fellow villager with Yu Chaoen. When Bian Lingcheng learned about it, he was overjoyed and decided to transfer Bian Linghui to Yu Chaoen.
He had already told Bian Linghui about this matter. Although Bian Linghui was only nine years old, he was adopted by Bian Lingcheng at the age of six. His expression was no less than that of ordinary people. After learning about it, he pretended to be sad and sad on the surface. In fact, he wanted to leave the Western Regions where the wind and sand were raging all day long and return to his hometown in the Central Plains as soon as possible.
If there is no accident, his name will be changed to Yu Linghui, and a note will be left in history books.
Compared with Li Fuguo, Bian Lingcheng had another advantage. According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty's inner court, the eunuchs in the military supervising town had an opportunity to return to Beijing to report their duties after three years. Li Fuguo had just been transferred from the capital to the border town. Although he could contact the capital through letters, no one came in person after all.
In this section, Li Fuguo had to temporarily curry favor with Bian Lingcheng. Who knows what he would say after he went back and what position he would get?
In secret, Li Fuguo was called an "ugly monster", but he still knew about this.
This time, Bian Lingcheng also brought Princess Jiaohe. After returning to Anxi, Bian Lingcheng was about to set off for the trip back to Beijing, so he naturally wanted to take Princess Jiaohe back.
Princess Jiaohe's carriage was guarded by Bian Lingcheng's tooth soldiers. It was a carriage covered with silk curtains. Princess Sun Xiurong had seen it once. She married Su Lu in the early years of Kaiyuan. She was nearly forty years old. Since Nan Gong Xiaoyue was her adopted daughter, he wanted to marry Nan Gong Xiaoyue and then control the entire Nan Gong tribe. He could not avoid the link of Princess Jiaohe.
After he took the city of Talas, he immediately sent Geshuminu to take the left camp and the back camp to Yijiancheng, and finally protected the princess before Mohedagan took action. In fact, there were 100 personal guards who came from Tubo around the princess, and even if Mohedagan wanted to be strong, it would not work.
But Sun Xiurong got a reputation as a "protective".
After arriving in Talas, the princess also met Sun Xiurong once. At that time, when Sun Xiurong talked about Nan Gong Xiaoyue, the princess naturally agreed.
Princess, Bian Lingcheng, with these two people, Sun Xiurong believed that she would be 50% sure to marry Nan Gong Xiaoyue. Next, she already had a tribe leader with 5,000 tents. What would the court do? Naturally, she should look at it optimistically. Besides, there was a Geshu Zhengzheng chief of the Geshu Zheng tribe who was pretending to be powerful with Sun Xiurong on the side!
In the tent, Sun Xiurong was at the last. He saw Gai Jiayun, who was 45 years old and full of wine and sweetness, as he was the current deputy governor of Beiting, deputy envoy of the Jiedushi of Li Xi, former governor of the Imperial Town, and the ugly and disgusting eunuch Li Fuguo.
He also saw one person.
Ma Lin.
This time, as the captain of Gai Jiayun's tooth soldier, Ma Lin immediately became a real cavalry commander after following Gai Jiayun to Suiye City. He was the cavalry commander, who showed his skills in the battle with Gu Chuan elite. Ma Lin broke into the elite standing army of Tuqi Shi with one shot and one blow, and killed five generals above the centurion and above. When he was recounting his merits, he was highly valued by Gai Jiayun and was promoted to deputy lieutenant (vice lieutenant of the camp), and his rank was the same as Sun Xiurong.
But after Ma Lin learned about Sun Xiurong's deeds, the expression on his face was quite worth pondering.
In the big tent, Fu Meng Lingcha was telling how he sneaked into the city of Talas at night. He first used Sun Xiurong's young soldiers as bait to lure Erweitler to fight, and then defeated him. Then he met Dumodu, who came to seize the camp. Under his persuasion, Dumodu surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and fought back, and killed Erweitler's head on the spot in the city of Talas, and now his head was brought, etc.
Meng Lingcha had already reported these situations to Gai Jiayun through the fast horse, but he did not show up to be honest, and the crowd still listened with relish.
In the report, Fu Meng Lingcha only mentioned three people.
A Bian Lingcheng, who is naturally "constrained" well. When Li Fuguo heard Bian Lingcheng's name, his face turned pale even more pale. With his squint eyes and a crooked mouth, his face was very terrifying. Bian Lingcheng naturally saw this scene, and he was calm.
One of them must have defeated the opponent in a battle with Erweitler's elite cavalry. Of course, this scene never happened and was taken first by the hateful Sun Xiurong.
Finally, Sun Xiurong was mentioned, but it was just a bait that made merit.
Bian Lingcheng and Sun Xiurong were surprised when they heard this.
"Has the garrison commander's great contribution to capturing Ashabor was erased? But Bian Lingcheng also reported to Gai Jiayun."
"Hmph!" Bian Lingcheng suddenly snorted coldly at this moment.
Only then did Fu Meng Lingcha realize that this person was about to send the princess back to the capital. His position as a great gubernator and the governor was only one step away. If Bian Lingcheng talked nonsense in the court, he would most likely fail!
"Ahem", Fu Meng Lingcha came to Sun Xiurong's side and took his hand.
Chapter completed!
