Chapter 45: Five chapters

"You report to the commander, you report to the supervisor, and the envoys from the nine surnames of Tiele asked for a visit." The personal guards were very excited, and their tone was a little high.

After the Turks rebelled, they first conquered the nine surnames of Tiele, and then became stronger. From then on, the nine surnames of Tiele interrupted contact with the Tang Dynasty and no longer surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Now that the later Turks have been defeated, they naturally have to hurry to come and tell us.

Zhang Shougui and Chen Wanrong looked at each other and nodded, "Okay, I want them to come in! Supervisor, the Tiele Nine surnames are loyal to the Turks, so we must ask them carefully."

Although the nine surnames of Tiele were coerced by Gu Dulu, they were the first to follow Gu Dulu. If they didn't blame them, it would not be enough to make them frightened. This was a necessary measure. Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "It should be like this!"

The two reached an agreement, sat upright, with a serious face, and stared at the envoy of Tiele Jiu who had brought in.

The envoy was a middle-aged man. He was not tall, but very clever. When he saw Zhang Shougui and Chen Wanrong's faces were not kind, he felt a thump in his heart. He thought the Tang Dynasty would not tolerate them. He quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground with a loud bang, kowtowed to Chen Wanrong and Zhang Shougui, "The envoy Wu Yuanmo of the Tiele had seen the general and the army supervisor!"

Neither Zhang Shougui nor Chen Wanrong spoke, but stared at Wu Yuanmo. The tent was quiet, no one spoke, only the breathing of everyone. Wu Yuanmo felt great depression, his heart was beating, his throat was dry, and he was stunned for a while before he stuttered: "Since the conquest of Gu Dulu, the 9th surname of Tiele had to send a middle-aged man, a young woman, a herd of cattle and sheep, and a great commander, we had to do it!"

After Gu Dulu gathered Fu Nian's old subordinates, his strength was not strong. First of all, he conquered the nine surnames of Tiele, which laid the foundation. In other words, the nine surnames of Tiele were the first among the grassland tribes to follow Gu Dulu, and he was seriously guilty.

Zhang Shougui hit the commander's case with his right hand and scolded coldly: "It's a last resort? Nonsense! Have you ever declared to the court for decades? In my opinion, it was the hawk who was willing to be a gudulu and Mochu! Now that the Turks have been defeated, and due to the power of the Tang Dynasty, you sent envoys to come, trying to speak sweetly and deceive the Tang Dynasty. The crime is unforgivable! Come on, take it down for me and beat a hundred sticks again!"

The surname Tiele Jiu was the first grassland tribe to follow Gudulu. He said that their crimes were unforgivable and they were definitely not taking advantage of the situation. Wu Yuanmo was so scared that his face changed color and kept kowtowing: "Relieve the anger, and the general will calm down! Tiele Jiu's tribe swears that he will always be loyal to the Tang Dynasty from the end of his death, and dare not have two hearts!"

Before Zhang Shougui could speak, his personal guard came in to report: "Report to the general, report to the military supervisor, and the envoy of Geluolu asked for a visit!"

Geluolu is different from Tiele's nine surnames. He has not yet conquered the Later Turks. He has been constantly warring with the Later Turks. Although the scale is not large, he is fighting after all. Speaking of which, Geluolu is still loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Shougui immediately changed his smile and said, "Please bring a chair and bring tea. Take him down and wait for the disposal!"

This is obviously a favoritism, and Wu Yuanmo's heart was beating, thinking that the surname Tiele Jiu was over. He kept begging for mercy: "Master, please let me tell you a little bit. Tiele Jiu's tribe will never dare to do it again! I dare not!" He shouted and dragged it away for the soldiers.

The messenger of Geluo was also a middle-aged man. He was a little fat and had bright eyes. He looked like a smart man at first glance. He quickly stepped up to greet him: "The messenger of Geluo had seen the general and the military supervisor!"

Zhang Shougui smiled kindly and said, "Please sit down and have tea!"

He thanked him repeatedly, sat down, and thought to himself: "After all, we are all ally of the Tang Dynasty and cannot do without us!" He couldn't help but feel a little proud.

However, his idea was soon proved wrong. Chen Wanrong smiled with a kind smile on his face, as if he saw his relatives: "The messenger is coming from afar, and we are very happy. However, I would like to ask why the messenger is here now? Where are you when we and Mochuoji were fighting? Are you watching the scenery or sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight?"

Baiqi was stunned for a moment. No matter what he said, he could not have imagined that Zhang Shougui would welcome him as if he was welcoming his relatives. In a flash, it was another matter.

Zhang Shougui said oh, looking like he suddenly realized, and slapped his forehead: "The military supervisor is right! Come on, take the chair down! Take the tea away!"

The soldier responded and went up to remove the chair and took the tea away. He only bowed and stood foolishly, sweating spread from his forehead.

Although Gelulu and the Under-Turkish were fighting, they were just small-scale fights. After all, the Under-Turkish are strong and Gelulu is weak. If they really want to fight, they will be destroyed by the Under-Turkish. In order to survive, Gelulu formed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, and some battles were fought for the Tang Dynasty, not really wanted to fight.

Especially in this battle this year, the Tang Dynasty dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops to defeat the Turks. The situation of the war was unclear at that time, and Ge Luolu did not dare to send troops. It was obvious that he was sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight. No matter which side wins, they only needed to send an envoy to fool them. This was a way to try every means in the past, but today it didn't work. It would be impossible to be surprised if he wanted to be unsurprised.

Zhang Shougui's face turned solemn and his tone became cold: "Send him to Chang'an and the emperor will deal with it!"

After being sent to Chang'an, Li Longji would definitely not kill him. He wanted to scare him and win him over. In a word, he would use both kindness and power, and both soft and hard. Zhang Shougui and Chen Wanrong were just warming up.

He bowed to him and took him out. Chen Wanrong and Zhang Shougui looked at each other, laughed, and pointed at each other: "You really know how to act!"

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they saw the personal guards coming in: "Qi report to the general, Qi report to the supervisor, the imperial envoy is here!"

"It's time for the imperial envoy to come!" Chen Wanrong and Zhang Shougui thought so, stood up and brought the generals to greet him. As soon as he came out of the tent, an official was floating in his sleeves, very imposing. When Chen Wanrong saw it, he was very happy and walked up quickly and smiled: "Mr. Shen, what wind has blown you?"

The person coming is nothing but Shen Que.

Shen Que said with a serious face: "Junior Chen, I am the imperial envoy now. You will kowtow when you see me, don't be so unruly."

He and Chen Wanrong had a very good relationship, which was obviously a joke. Chen Wanrong said with a solemn face: "Okay! Lord Shen likes to act like an official air, so I kowtow." He pretended to kneel down, but he didn't kneel down.

Shen Que laughed, very happy, pointed at Chen Wanrong and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. You have learned this move. You want to kneel down or not!" He took Chen Wanrong's hand, looked left and right, and said happily: "It's only been apart for so many years. You have fought two battles and are famous all over the world. Congratulations, congratulations!"

Because of the Xinyue Sect, Shen Que was demoted to Youzhou as the governor, and the two did not meet again. Now that they meet, Chen Wanrong is also happy and returns the favor with a smile: "Mr. Shen is too proud! I just did what I should do."

Zhang Shougui received a questionable point and was very impressed by his thorough experience. He stepped forward and greeted him and said, "Zhang Shougui has met Lord Shen!"

Chen Que replied, "Master, please give up the gift."

Next, the generals greeted him. Chen Zha was particularly happy to see Chen Zairong. He held his hand, looked left and right, and laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close: "General Chen captured Mochuo alive, this contribution is higher than the sky. Chen Qie is here to congratulate you!"

"Thank you, Lord Shen!" Chen Zairong returned the gift.

After seeing the ceremony, Chen Que was invited to the commander's tent. Zhang Shougui said, "Please announce the order by Lord Shen!"

The imperial envoy should announce the edict when he arrives. This is a natural thing. However, Chen Que's statement was unexpected. He waved his hand and said, "Don't announce the edict! Chen is here not to announce the edict to you, but to have another mission."

"Mr. Shen, are you joking?" Chen Wanrong was a little surprised.

Chen Que said seriously: "What Chen is telling the truth. Chen is here to convey a few messages to you. First, the emperor has issued an order to ask General Zhang to lead his army to the north of Mo and comfort the grassland tribes. Another thing is that he is preparing to move the Anbei Protectorate Palace back."

This was agreed upon by Chen Wanrong and the others, and it was not surprising that Zhang Shougui accepted the order and said, "The emperor is wise, I understand!" Although Chen Que did not announce the imperial edict as an imperial envoy, this was the emperor's order after all, and he still said it in the words of the imperial envoy.

Chen Que continued: "The second thing is that Chen Jianjun led artillery, 100,000 cavalry, and another 50,000 infantry to Longxi."

"Go to Longxi?" This incident was so surprising, and Chen Wanrong was a little surprised.

Chen Que nodded and said, "That's true! As for why the emperor asked you to lead your troops to Longxi, Chen didn't know. The emperor said that after you brought the army to Longxi, he would immediately rush back to Chang'an, saying that there was something important to discuss with you."

"Is it because I want to use large-scale troops in the Western Regions?" Chen Wanrong guessed.

"I think it's almost the same!" Wang Zhongsi shouted excitedly: "For a hundred years, although the Tang Dynasty has been strong, there are three opponents of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo, Turks and Dashi. These three enemies colluded with each other and colluded with each other to restrain the Tang Dynasty from many ways, so that the Tang Dynasty could not concentrate its troops. Now, both Tubo and Turks have been destroyed, and only one of the three enemies is left. This is a good opportunity for the Tang Dynasty to concentrate its efforts to defeat it!"

This analysis makes sense. In the past, the Tang Dynasty did not want to fight against Dashi, but because there were too many opponents, they could not concentrate their troops to fight. Now, the strategic situation of the Tang Dynasty is unprecedentedly favorable, and Tubo no longer exists. Later, the Turks were newly broken, and the grassland tribes were scared and dared not have any other intentions. Seizing this favorable opportunity and fighting a few battles with Dashi was of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty.

"This is extremely true! This is extremely true!" Everyone agreed excitedly.

Cheng Xiaotian immediately grabbed Chen Wanrong's left arm: "Military Supervisor, you know that I am good at using cavalry. When you go to Longxi, you have to take me with you. If you don't take me there, I will be anxious!"

Fei Junxing grabbed Chen Wanrong's right arm: "Supervisor, don't listen to Mr. Cheng's nonsense. If you want to use cavalry, then I must be the first. Supervisor, take me to Longxi, don't take him there."

Cheng Xiaotian punched Fei Junxing on the shoulder and shouted: "Boy Fei, you are so indifferent! If you dare to tell lies again, be careful that I will beat your front teeth off!"

It can be imagined that the battle with the Dashi will be the largest battle that the Tang Dynasty has fought in the foreseeable future. After this battle is over, there will be no major war in its lifetime. Can Cheng Xiaotian not be anxious?

Fei Junxing and Cheng Xiaotian were joking. When they heard this, they immediately realized that it was a bit too much and hurriedly shut up.

"Military Supervisor, please take us there! We are willing to work with the military supervisor to beat Dashi and other bastards!" The generals' eyes were filled with eager light, and they were very eager.

Fighting with Dashi, we will create a different situation, rewrite world history, and let Chinese civilization take root in the Middle East. This is a satisfying thing to do. Chen Wanrong is also passionate and said in a high tone: "Don't worry first, I will discuss this matter with Dashang. I will tell who will go and who will stay."

It was necessary for the two of them to discuss, but the generals were worried, afraid that they would not be able to go to Longxi.

Chen Que continued: "The third thing is to leave a part of the army in the south of the desert to support the northern desert."

This is what it should be. Chen Wanrong and Zhang Shougui had nothing to say and nodded, "We must do it!"

"The last thing is that the emperor granted your request, took Mochuo to Wuhuidao to behead him, and used his head to pay tribute to the wronged souls on Wuhuidao!" Chen Que's voice was a little high: "Mochu is a lot of evil, and it is very appropriate to deal with it like this! Chen was ordered by the emperor to go to the court to pay tribute! I wonder when the two of you plan to set off?"

"The Emperor's Holy Spirit!" Everyone had already wanted to kill Mochuo, and after hearing this, they were extremely excited.

It’s not because they were bloodthirsty, but because they were in the border for a long time and knew how great the heinous crimes the Turks committed were. It was not enough to kill ten thousand times to compensate for their crimes!

Zhang Shougui asked Chen Wanrong for his opinion and said: "The military supervisor thought it was appropriate to set off?"

Chen Wanrong browed and said, "It is certainly exciting to use his head to pay tribute to the wronged souls on the Five Episodes. However, if we cannot do this alone, we have to do something else. I think that when all the Turkic ministers were taken to the Five Episodes, they would like to see Mochu's fate with their own eyes and shock their hearts!"

"I agree!" Before Zhang Shougui could speak, the generals shouted: "Just let them see, it's a bargain. It's not an exaggeration to kill a hundred times for the crimes they committed!"

After the rebellion of the Later Turks, they killed countless people. All the ministers of the Later Turks were accomplices, and killing them was a natural matter. However, if they were killed, the root of disaster would inevitably be planted. They could only be spared and spared their lives. It would be a good idea to use the matter of killing Mochu to shock them, and everyone would not agree with it.

Zhang Shougui nodded and said, "It's so good! Then let's pack up and set off!"

With an order, the soldiers escorted Mochu and the Later Turkic ministers and began to set off.

Mochu's doomsday is approaching, which is a great event. Chen Wanrong rode his blue and white horses to Mochu's prison carriage, and saw that he had been surrounded by a mess. It was the generals who were ridiculing him.

Cheng Xiaotian grabbed Mochu's beard with his right hand and pulled it, sneering: "Mochu, did you ever think of today when you did evil?"

Mochu sat in the prison car, his eyes were dull, his face was indifferent, his hair was covered with disheveled words, and he let Cheng Xiaotian scold him.

Fei Junxing was not willing to fall behind, and slapped Mochu on the face and mocked him: "Mochu, if I had known today, why would he have done so many evil things back then?"

"Bah!" Some general couldn't help it and sucked in Mo and spit.

His actions reminded everyone, and he spat hard at Mochu. After a while, Mochu was covered in saliva. If he had been insulted like this, he would definitely not want to live anymore. But Mochu had no reaction at all, and his humiliation would have long been wiped out.

Chen Wanrong coughed and the generals hurriedly gave in. Chen Wanrong came to the prison car, looked at it, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Mochu, you can leave!"

"Really?" Mo jumped up, but his forehead hit the roof of the prison car, making a scream of ouch. He didn't care about the pain, grabbed the prison car with both hands, his eyes shining with glory, full of hope: "I'm really letting me go?"

Chen Wanrong shook his head disdainfully and said, "Mochuo, I really don't understand. How surprising it was that you were so heroic and traversing thousands of miles of grasslands without any enemy. But now, your appearance is so disappointing."

"The military supervisor blames you! It's not that I'm timid, it's really terrible to the Tang Dynasty!" Mochu's voice lowered a lot: "Although I didn't take the Tang Dynasty seriously back then, it was just on the border. I dare not go deep into the mainland. If I go deep into the mainland, we will defeat the Tang Dynasty in less than a month! We can't beat the border and still escape. With the vastness of the desert, we can completely deal with the Tang Dynasty."

This is the truth. Mochuo controlled 400,000 troops, but he was just harassing the border and did not dare to invade the mainland. If he had entered the mainland, he would have been annihilated by the Tang army long ago.

"You are a little self-aware!" Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "If there were no things on the five chapters, you could still survive!"

Mochuo sat down slowly, pulled his hair with his hands and said softly: "Five chapters, Five chapters! Why did I do this?" Two lines of clear tears actually shed in his eyes.

In 698 AD, Mochu led a large army to go south, harassing everywhere, attacking Jingnan Army, pacifying the Ding Army, Qingyi Army, and occupied Guizhou, Tanzhou, Dingzhou, and Zhaozhou. He killed countless people and plundered nearly 100,000 people. At that time, he thought that the Tang Dynasty had no choice but to do anything to him, and was very proud. He shook martial arts and showed his might and acted as a blessing. He raped women and killed border people during the banquet.

Wu Zetian sent 450,000 troops to counterattack, but ineffective, which further encouraged Mochu's arrogance. The other troops were afraid of Mochu and delayed, so they could not advance. Only Di Renjie led 100,000 troops to chase him from behind. Mochu knew that he could not defeat him, so he retreated from the five lanes and killed all the nearly 100,000 border residents who had been plundered.

At that time, he looked at the corpses all over the mountains and fields and felt complacent for a while. Even ten years later, he was still very excited when he remembered this. However, he didn't expect that the feng shui would turn. Now that his doomsday has come, his pride has become his death talisman.

Looking at Mochu's trembling and trembling appearance, Chen Wanrong kept shook his head and sighed: "Mochu, you are a murderer at least. It's so useless when you die. It's really disappointing. I'm sorry for you! However, I'm even more terrified for the people of the border who are even more dead. They actually died in the hands of your useless thing!"

Mochu muttered, "Who isn't afraid of death?"

Chen Wanrong was too lazy to talk nonsense to him: "Look at it!" He pulled the reins and rode away.

"No problem!" Cheng Xiaotian tore off a piece of cloth from Mochu's body, pulled open the trouser barrier and soaked it on the piece of cloth, tied his pants, grabbed Mochu's hair, and sneered: "Mochu, if you act like a man, I wouldn't do this! Your appearance makes me angry, you've asked for it." He pinched Mochu's mouth and stuffed the piece of cloth into Mochu's mouth.

Fei Junxing tied Mochu back with a rope to the wooden strip of the prison car, making him unable to move: "Mochu, until now, you want to commit suicide. You have to take our knife! Let's go and go five times!"
Chapter completed!
