17. Guangsheng rushes to the crown

However, Li Shi in the Daming Palace did not expect that this group of Uighur missions who were asked to return to the country would cause bloody disasters.

Just after Li Shi changed the reign to Jianzhong, internal strife broke out in the Uighurs. After defeating Bao Fang, the former Hedong Jiedu governor, the arrogant Mou Yu Khan, obeyed the instigation of the nine-sentence Hu Shangs, and believed that the Tang Dynasty was weak and could be bullied, and was ready to send troops to invade the south in large numbers.

But Mohe Dagan, the great minister of Khan, disagreed with him. He advised Khan: "The Tang family is a great country in Central China and was originally friendly with me, Uighurs. Before, we invaded Taiyuan, we were already traitorous. Later, we were invited by Zhang Guangsheng, the governor of the Tang family Daizhou, in Yangwu Valley, and the tens of thousands of cattle and horses they had obtained were lost. Now if we invade the Tang territory in the south, if we cannot win, how will we return home?"

As a result, Dunmohe Dagan's good advice was not accepted by Mou Yu Khan. So Dunmohe Dagan did everything and killed Mou Yu Khan. He believed that the nine-subject group had provoked the relationship between the Uighurs and the Tang Dynasty, and killed more than 2,000 Mu Yu Khan's branch tribes and Hu Shangs, and announced that the spread of Manichaeism nationwide was banned, demolished temples everywhere, and established himself as a new Khan.

And Tu Dong was the uncle of Dunmohe Dagan who usurped the throne.

Therefore, when Daizong was alive, he repeatedly indulged Tu Dong and his chief Chi Xin (the one who robbed Wannian County and almost killed Gao Yue) and did something wrong in Chang'an City, hoping to contact Dunmohedagan to eliminate Mou Yu Khan, who had posed a huge threat to the Tang Dynasty.

But Daizong died before he could see the results of his secret front.

Because of his new hatred and old hatred, Li Shi hated all the Uighurs, so after buying 6,000 Uighur horses this year, he forced Tu Dong, Chi Xin and more than 900 missionaries and members of the business group to return to his country (of course, the unofficial Uighurs who were still stranded in Beijing, and the nine surnames Hu were far more than this number).

At the same time, Dunmohe Dagan, who had just ascended the throne, claimed to be Hegudulu Liga Khan. Because the situation in the Uighurs was turbulent, he was eager to get the title of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. However, Li Shi intended to let Yuan Xiu, the envoy who had been enthroned, stay in Taiyuan Prefecture, and was obviously not very enthusiastic about this matter.

In August, the sky is flying snow. The Yanglin around Zhenwu City is flowing on the Yellow River. As soon as it is late autumn, white snowflakes fall quietly, endlessly, quickly covering the top of the city, dyeing the pagoda white, and falling in the vast fields.

The Zhenwu City Villa was shining with fire. With a "bang" sound, the scar-faced governor Zhang Guangsheng was covered in armor, with a buzz on his head, and a horse whip in his hand. He pushed the door open. The strong wind swept the snowflakes and bulged into the courtyard. The soldiers waiting here bowed.

Then Zhang Guangsheng bent his waist and walked straight towards the shooting hall like a black wild wolf. His boots were stomping on the fine snow, making a crunching sound.

Under the pillar of the Shooting Hall, several nine-sentence Hu Shangs with greasy and curly hair were kneeling, and behind them were soldiers of Zhenwu Army with wide eyes, each holding bows and swords.

When these Hu Shangs saw Zhang Guangsheng, they hurriedly kowtowed.

Zhang Guangsheng suppressed his anger, stretched out the tip of the whip, pressed against Hu Shang's neck, and pushed his head straight to the pillar, "What you said is true?"

"It's true, it's true. Dunmohedagan, who usurped the throne, wanted to kill us all, so we dare not return to China, but Tu Dong did not allow us to escape on our own. Since we must die, we might as well seek refuge in the general. As long as the general saves us, all the silk, baggage, and wealth obtained from Tu Dong's horses will be returned to the general. In addition, Chi Xin originally drove 10,000 horses to ask for the market, but the Emperor of the Tang family only collected 6,000, and the remaining 4,000 horses were to be brought back to China. We dare not stay and are willing to offer them to the general!"

"Hey!" Zhang Guangsheng smiled with his teeth, "As you say so, there are already internal turmoil in the Uighurs?"

"That's right, although Mou Yu Khan died, his sons were still there. Other prime ministers and Meilu (the general in Uighur language) were not convinced by Du Mohe Dagan and attacked each other on the grasslands of northern desert. The reason why Tu Dong, Chi Xin agreed to the Emperor of the Tang family so quickly was that she was eager to rush back to assist Du Mohe Dagan. If the general killed him, the Uighurs who were busy with internal strife would not dare to make things difficult for you."

The whip "brush" sounded, making Hu Shang slapped in pain and leaned down and covered his mouth.

"Even if the Uighurs come to attack, how could I, Zhang Guangsheng, be afraid? What does Uighur look like? I have seen Yangwu Valley a long time ago, but I'll."

At this time, the west wing corridor of the Shetang suddenly moved, mixed with the angry shouts of soldiers and the cry of women - a group of local elders in Zhenwu City and several untidy women were supported by the soldiers. Under the guidance of Yajiang Xu Baohui, they knelt in front of Zhang Guangsheng.

"After the festival, there are indeed women who plundered themselves in the Tudong team!" Xu Baohui raised an awl and said.

Seeing this, Zhang Guangsheng was even more angry. The women who were kidnapped by the Uighurs were also lying on the ground and cried. They were all good women, and some of them were kidnapped by the Uighurs just walking on the road, and were humiliated along the way. They also said that they would sell them to Mobei or Dangxiang people.

"The Uighur bandits hid their sisters in their skins. Thanks to the local elders who delivered the food, we sneaked into their inn stables while Dong was unprepared and pierced the skins with a long cone. There was indeed someone inside."

The elders of Zhenwu City also cried bitterly, saying that what Xu Yajiang said was not false. The Tudong's mission had nearly a thousand people. These days it had caused a disaster in the village. The wheat valley that he had finally planted was also ruined by their horses.

Zhang Guangsheng could no longer bear it. He snatched the long cone from Xu Baohui's hand, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared angrily, stabbing the long cone deep into the pillar, but it actually penetrated to the end.

The Hu Shangs who came to report secretly were all devastated when they saw this, saying that they were willing to make a profit and open the door of Dongguan House, just asking the general to let them go.

"A nest of foxes and rats... kill you, these stinky Hushang first!" Zhang Guangsheng said that, before the few people could shout, he pulled out his sword and cut across the street. Several Hu Shangs, surnamed nine, immediately separated their limbs and heads, rolled down the ground in the screams of the woman.

Then Zhang Guangsheng put his knife into the sheath, and surrounded by many tooth generals, he stepped out of the shooting hall.

In the yard under the steps, all the soldiers of the Zhenwu Army stood, with flames rising and snow falling on their armor.

"The Uighurs, nine surnames, are originally mixed breeds, with wolf-hearted and dog-heartedness, and are only human-shaped. They plunder my blood and wealth, defile my sisters, harm my fellow villagers, and destroy me, and bully me the Tang family and Han areas without blood. Today, I, Zhang Guangsheng, will kill Tu Dong, Chixin, and slaughter all this mission. All the wealth and wealth relationships are in Zhenwu. If you don't want to follow me, you can release your stick and return. I, Zhang Guangsheng, will take charge of it."

"I wish to follow the festival and kill Hu!" All the soldiers in the courtyard shouted in a short voice, shaking the snow on the eaves tiles fell.

"To avoid the nameless teacher - Xu Baohui." Zhang Guangsheng was thick and thin, so he asked his teeth to take Xu Baohui out of the line.

Half an hour later, in front of the door of Tu Dong's building in Zhenwu City, the chief Chixin screamed fiercely and whipped Xu Baohui's face.
