15. The Tuoba Department is self-defense

When Gao Yue formed such a determination, the Tang family's angel Kong Chaofu carried 200,000 guan of money and silk, first went to Taiyuan Prefecture in Hedong, then crossed the Yellow River from Shizhou, and then from Han Tan, the governor of Xia Suiyin, to Baichengzi at the junction of Youzhou and Xiazhou (the location of the ruins of Helian Bobotong Wancheng). At this time, Chief Xiang of the Pingxia tribe rode a horse and rode through the vast desert and grassland. Under the leadership of Tuoba Chaohui, he came to see Kong Chaofu collectively.

Kong Chaofu read out the emperor's will in front of the Pingxia tribe, saying that the right army of the Imperial Camp sent Gao Yue to suppress Dangxiang in Qingzhou this time because of the Yeli, Dazhe and other foreigners in the state robbed and killed the gifts sent to Tuoba by the court. "The emperor is sorry for you, don't worry about others." Then Kong Chaofu said on behalf of the emperor: Tuoba Chaohui continued to be the governor of the Tianzhu Army, the governor of Youzhou, and the governor of the Qiang family of Pingxia, and personally handed over the Zhuzi official uniforms and golden seals to Tuoba Chaohui.

Tuoba Chaohui held a heavy golden seal in his hand, but he was frightened in his heart, so he kowtowed and asked Kong Chaofu: I, the Pingxia tribe, follow the emperor's righteousness and follow the Gao army to suppress the rebels.

In fact, Tuoba Chaohui wanted to use this to test the Tang Dynasty's attitude towards Dangxiang in the entire Shuofang region, which was a matter of throwing a stone to ask for directions.

However, Kong Chaofu said that if you accept the gold, jade, silk, and tea given by the emperor, then you can take charge of the subordinates and settle the entire world. Naturally, Gao Yue is fully responsible for the affairs of Qingzhou, and there is no need to worry about the Pingxia tribe.

After Kong Chaofu was riding a long car, under the sunset of Baichengzi, Tuoba Chaohui sat worriedly under the big tree, and other commanders were sitting around him. "Although Gao Yue suppressed Dongshan, I was deeply afraid that Dongshan would be the first, then Weibei, and then Baiyu Mountain in front and behind the mountain, then it was our turn to Pingxia Miyao?"

Some chiefs believed that Tuoba Chaohui was a worry-free person.

But some chiefs also recognized his concerns, "Most of the Miyayao people now settled in Dahetao, and they were on the side of the Emperor of the Tang family's bed. The Tang people's hostility towards us may not be lower than that of Xifan. Now using gold and silk to induce internal strife in our country is probably a strategy to defeat each other."

Tuoba Chaohui sighed and said that we should act at the right time. We will collect the gold and silk that the Tang family gave us and accumulate our strength. If the Tang family turns against us one day, they will turn their backs to conquer us, and guard the nearby Baichengzi, so that the Tang family's food route will be insufficient, and then we will contact Xifan.

Maybe he could also use the Tang family to eliminate the six old enemies and the Dangxiang of the East Mountain. Just like Nanzhao, he was able to get along with the Tang and the Western Fans, and finally seized the opportunity to become kings, which was also a wise path.

The other chiefs nodded one after another, obeying Tuoba Chaohui's statement, so everyone agreed:

Do not repeat the mistakes of the Dongshan Dangxiang. Since then, the war horses raised by the tribe are strictly prohibited from trading with the Tang people;

The Tang people's caravans must not be believed. The Fanluo's return businessmen must handle it themselves and secretly smuggle armor, swords, and arrow clusters from the Tang family merchants, and then the tribes jointly imitate and forge them to ensure that the weapons are self-sufficient;

They secretly formed alliances with Tuyuhun, a large migrant tribe in the Hetao area, and supported each other;

All the Fanluo of Pingxia tribes will choose auspicious day to climb Baiyu Mountain together, and swear to Changshengtian and Miyao Dragon God that they must not rebel or sell in wartime. They must be sincere and united, imitate the military system of Xifan, and use wooden slips with silver swans as feather edicts. Fanluo who receives the feather edict must rush to Baichengzi as soon as possible. When encountering the enemy, they will move forward together, and when retreating, they will rescue each other;

From now on, tens of young and middle-aged people from all tribes were recruited, and Baichengzi was added, and their original name was secretly changed back to their original name "Tongwancheng", and they reserved food, fodder and weapons to prepare for unexpected events.

Almost at the same time, in the grand translation site of the Samye Monastery on the plateau, Zanpu Chisong Dezan convened all the military and political officials such as Shang Helun. After receiving the news that Gao Yue had eliminated the Dangxiang of Dongshan, Ma Chongying rushed to Luoshe City and asked Zanpu to convene the Dangluo Conference of the Dangluo. The keen Ma Chongying proposed that Gao Yue had every move, "Is it targeting my Dafan?" Zanpu did not need to keep the agreement to stop the war with the Tang family. The old minister was willing to lead 20,000 cavalry out of Huizhou and attack the original, Ling and Yan areas of the Tang family, and support the Dangluo, who was still fiercely resisting, and they were all drawn to our Dafan. Otherwise, after Gao Yue completely pacified the Dangluo, the Tang family could focus on the westward direction, and the situation in our Dafan would worsen even more than before.

Ma Chongying's statement was approved by Shang Jie, on rampant heat, and on fear.

But the great host of the host, Shang Qixin'er strongly opposed it. He called Huating, and then Taoguan and Mugua Ridge defeated one after another, the military forces of each road were broken, and what was urgently needed was rest and rest. He had just reached an agreement with Gao Yue to paddle into a leisure field. It was not only morally unreasonable for violations, but also the Tang army is now in the passes of Yuanzhou, Longshan, and Lingyan, and the military city system is complete. What role can only play in just 20,000 cavalry?

Ma Chongying insisted that as long as he traveled to the Yellow River with 20,000 cavalry and went deep into the Lingyan area, he would definitely unite with Dangxiang and turn the Tang family upside down. The god Zanpu enthroned Na Tuoba Chaohui as "Zanpu Zhong", and Gao Yue would definitely have difficulty in stride.

"This move is tantamount to sending Zanpu's 20,000 children into Gao Moluo's tiger's mouth." Shang Qixin'er laughed.

So in the Samye Monastery, various factions quarreled endlessly.

While Zanpu was worried about the party struggle and how to deal with the Tang family's conquest to suppress the party, Gao Yue had already ordered the entire army to start a final offensive against Fangqucheng, where Yeli and Dazhe tribes were clustered!

A middle-aged official carrying the emperor Deyin came from Ningzhou and walked into Gao Yue's tent. Gao Yue led all the generals to come forward and bowed to bear the emperor's will.

The Zhongguan unfolded the hemp paper and read out loudly:

"Dangxiang of Dongshan has been evil for many years, and his edicts have not been ruthless, which is quite a border trouble. Now I have appointed the Censor and Chief of the Imperial Camp of the Guardian Army to challenge the expulsion. All military affairs will be handled at a cheap price. After the rebels of the Qiang, he will choose one of Fengxiang, Jingyuan, and Xingyuan. He will live in Fengxiang, Jingyuan, and Xingyuan. In this way, the Qiang can reform and receive money. I am willing to treat him like a child. If there are prisoners of war (slaves), the Ningzhou Military City Envoy Huo Zhongtang will be punished. The above is."

The so-called "choose one more and have free land to live in" and "prisoners of war sell goods" are actually the emperor sending a clear signal to Gao Yue:

You boldly slaughter, place or sell slaves, and I support you.

"I respect your Majesty's power and will follow it as a letter!" Gao Yue said loudly, taking over the so-called moral voice.

Three hundred steps outside Fangqu City, a row of five large seven-shot cannons stood high there, facing the watchtower of the city. The Dingwu Army's Fifth Battalion of Feishan, pulled his hands, and the cavalrymen who were temporarily sent to pull the rope were densely arranged in front of the seven-shot cannons, holding the rope tightly in their hands.

All the rope pullers are actually facing away from Fangqucheng. They are only responsible for pulling the rope together after the order is issued and shooting out the huge stones on the cannon.

At this moment, the entire Fangqu City was in the north and south, and the soldiers in the Tang army camp were all ready for a strong attack.

The atmosphere is as quiet as death.
