Chapter 266 Encroachment Incident
Early the next morning, Li Ye came to the official office, and Zhang Xian and Liu Xun, who joined the army, rushed to report.

Although Li Ye was the envoy of Suiye, he was also in charge of government affairs. His novelty only lasted for three days, and just like his predecessor Chen Fengzhong, he threw away the so-called government affairs.

These government affairs are too trivial and disturbing. Suiye is a place where many ethnic groups live together. Various beliefs and customs are mixed together, and conflicts are easy to occur. Therefore, Suiye people sue and file lawsuits.

People of all ethnic groups are brave and aggressive, and they will turn against each other if they disagree, and then fight violently. The losing party is unwilling to beat the other party, so they come to complain.

Liu Xun, who joined the army, was responsible for resolving various disputes and conflicts. Li Ye also participated in resolving a few lawsuits at the beginning, but later he couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply became a shopkeeper.

But he is better than Chen Fengzhong in that he is not so stingy. Chen Fengzhong can't wait to break a penny into two pennies. The law and order in Suiye has always been bad, and the folk customs are tough, fighting and drinking everywhere, and the people complain a lot.

Of course, you can also say that it was Chen Fengzhong's strategy, negligence and inaction, which caused Suiye's public grievances to boil, forcing Gao Xianzhi to transfer himself back to Anxi.

And Li Ye is more generous in his actions. He doesn't want to care about these trivial matters, but he doesn't know how to be an ostrich. Zhang Xian, Liu Xun and other subordinates apply for any amount of funds. No, then don't blame him for turning his face and denying others.

So four months after Li Ye took office, there were fewer and fewer fights and fights, and it was because of his ruthless methods. Once a fight happened, he didn't care who started it first and who did it later, whether it was Han or Tuqishi, Regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, they were all locked in iron cages and soaked in broken leaf water for two days. After these people were released, they dared not mess around again.

The law and order in Suiye has obviously improved, and merchants dare to go out to spend at night. Everyone has made money, and everyone is happy.

What Liu Xun reported to Li Ye was what the shopkeeper of the restaurant told him yesterday. There was a conflict between the Ge Luolu people and the Tuqi Shi people, and there was a bloody death incident. Li Ye didn't take this matter to heart either. However, after listening to Liu Xun's report, Li Ye felt that something was wrong. It was not the Geluolu people in the Yili River Valley who were making trouble, but the herdsmen from the Yibohai tribe in the north who were going south to make trouble.

This problem is serious. The three small Ge Luolu tribes in the Yili River Valley are citizens of the Tang Dynasty, and they pay taxes to the Suiye government.

At this time, the Geluolu people of the stepping force invaded the Yili River Valley.

Li Ye immediately got up and said, "I'm going to Aitao Lake!"

Zhang Xian was startled, and quickly said: "The general just came back yesterday, why don't you go after a few days of rest!"

"No! They want to cook raw rice for this matter. If they don't deal with it in time, it will become the second Talas Valley!"

Zhang Xian and Liu Xun remained silent. The Talas River Valley incident was the result of Chen Fengzhong's inaction. The two Tuqishi tribes in the Talas River Valley did not buy Tang Jun's account, but it was not their turn to step up their strength. The Luolu people make a move.

They annexed the two Tuqishi tribes, and at the same time occupied the Talas River Valley that originally belonged to Suiye. The Ge Luolu people made an inch of it.

Li Ye immediately led a thousand cavalry to rush to Aitao Lake 150 miles away.

Aitao Lake is located between the Alatau Mountains in the north and the Kunge Mountains in the south, separated from Atami by a mountain. It belongs to the famous Yili River Valley. , Li Ye was determined not to let anyone take away this fertile land when he made his first inspection tour.

This land is also famous in later generations. This is Almaty, the former capital of Kazakhstan. In the Qing Dynasty, it was still under the jurisdiction of General Yili.

It took only one day for Li Ye to lead a thousand cavalry to Aitao Lake. Li Ye was very clear about his intention to take advantage of Ge Luolu. Their real purpose was to occupy the southern part of Yibohai. The Talas River Valley is located in the west. Now The Aitao Lake is located in the east, and if the east and the west are pinched, then the land in the middle and the south of Yibohai will belong to them.

Chen Fengzhong, that idiot, gave up the Talas Valley and caused himself a great passivity.

Aitao Lake is only one-sixth the size of Atami, about [-] square kilometers. Later generations disappeared because of the earthquake. There are also pastures with rich water and grass around Aitao Lake. A Geluolu tribe has taken over.

A thousand cavalrymen of the Tang Army came to hundreds of large tents, and the Ge Luolu tribe was in chaos. The women ran away with their children, and more than 200 young and strong men quickly assembled. He bowed down and said, "Welcome the Heavenly Army!"

Li Ye pointed at his horsewhip and shouted sharply: "This is not your land, you must leave before noon tomorrow, otherwise Tang Jun will be merciless!"

The leader hurriedly said: "It is the great chief who arranged for us to come here to graze, not us!"

"That's your internal matter. What you are doing now is an invasion. I only give you one day. If you don't withdraw before noon tomorrow, all your men will be beheaded, and your women and children will be sent to the slave market. I, Li Ye, said to do it!"

In the battle of pulling Khan, Li Ye's reputation has spread throughout the river, and the Ge Luolu people also know it, and they are quite afraid of him.

The leader saw that the other party was tough and the cavalry of the Tang Army were full of murderous spirits. He had no choice but to agree.

Starting in the afternoon, families of Geluolu began to dismantle their tents, drive their cattle and sheep to the northwest, step on their strength Geluolu's territory is in the west of Yibohai, a vast area, but most of it is semi-arid The area, and the three most beautiful treasure lands in this area, the Chu River Valley, the Ili River Valley and the surrounding areas of Rehai, were all occupied by the Tang army.

After Ge Luolu's people left, Li Ye immediately ordered to build a garrison by the lake. More than a thousand soldiers worked together. In just one day, they built a garrison covering an area of ​​three acres. The first floor raised horses, and the second floor Residents, the third floor is the Beacon Tower.

Li Ye looked back at the snow-capped mountains behind him. It was towering and majestic. This is the famous Talgar Peak in later generations. It is obviously unrealistic to build a beacon tower on this mountain.

But the garrison of Lake Eyre is 150 miles away from Suiye City, and at least three beacon towers need to be built. Of course, Li Ye has his plan, not only for Lake Eyre, but also for the Yili River Valley and Yibohai. He wants to build a fortress to completely control this land.

In the early morning of the next day, the expelled Tuqishi tribe came back again. In fact, they did not go far. They have been observing their homeland from a distance. Therefore, when the Geluolu people were driven away, they immediately returned home with their tents. Horses, sheep, old people, women and children, came back in mighty strength.

This Tuqishi tribe is called the Aituo tribe, and there are about 40 households. The leader is Dikuer, a dark-skinned man who is nearly forty years old, but for nomads, [-] years old is already an old man.

Dikuer led his clansmen to kowtow to Li Ye to thank him, "Thank you soldiers and horse envoys for taking back our homeland!"

Li Ye nodded and said: "Although the Ge Luolu people will not be reconciled, I understand that they will not dare to take over again, but you still have to be vigilant, and you have to fully cooperate with the Tang army in the fort to arrange security. Xie Huochang will teach you how to do it. !"

Xie Huochang is called Xie Hong, and he led ten men to garrison Aitao Lake. Of course, there is this Tuqishi tribe by the lake, at least they will not be too lonely.

After some more instructions, Li Ye led a thousand cavalry back to Suiye City.
As soon as he arrived in Suiye City, Li Ye received a letter from the flying eagle from Qiuci. Gao Xianzhi came back from Chang'an.

　This chapter uses the Geluolu people's peek at Aitao Lake to elicit the Geluolu people's desire and ambition for the Yili River Valley and Atami, paving the way for the following plot.
