Chapter 537
Among the several women Wang Hua was related to, Li Hong and Mu Zili were number one.

Without Li Hong's financial management and the sect run by Muzili, Bazhou would not be where it is today.But there is another woman who is very important.

Bazhou can lack anyone, it doesn't matter if Kong Heizi is missing, it doesn't matter if Ge Shuhan is missing, and even the absence of Zhu Dian is not fatal.But Wang Hua cannot be lacking. With Wang Hua, Xueying can continue to grow and develop, and continue to be invincible.But without Wang Hua's towering pillar, Bazhou would collapse immediately.

Therefore, with Li Xuejun by Wang Hua's side, Wang Hua's safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

Li Gu'er can't be said to be bad to Wang Hua, but her greatest role is as a princess, it seems that this status does not provide Wang Hua with a guarantee of safety.Thinking about her parents again, almost all the soldiers of the Blood Battalion deliberately forgot her.If she didn't realize that she gave birth to Wang Hua's eldest son, she would feel disgusted.

Wang Han and Li Chiying are two small vases.

However, if you want to choose a wife, you must choose among them.

It has nothing to do with other things, life experience!It doesn't matter to Wang Hua, but even Zhu Dian can't avoid this vulgarity.

Among the three, Li Xuejun is better, he is a little Persian princess in exile.But Persia was subjugated, her father was originally a prince from the direct line, and Li Xuejun's mother was a concubine from the direct line, this status is not worthy of the current Wang Hua.Even Li Xuejun's father knew this, he just hoped that Wang Hua would treat Li Xuejun better, and he didn't ask for status.

Wang Han is fine.Among the ten families with seven surnames, the Wang family in Taiyuan is weak, but their family education is the strictest, so their children are also the most popular.Otherwise, Tang Gaozong would not have found a woman from their family to be the queen.

But this kind of tutoring has now become Wang Han's disadvantage.It has nothing to do with the Wang family in Taiyuan. They used to be hostile to Wang Hua, but now they are friends, so they can't care about the past.Because of his tutoring, Wang Han hardly talks to strange men.The blood battalion soldiers knew that she liked Wang Hua very much and that she had a good family background, but they were very strange to her.

Needless to say, Li Chiying's family background is very good, but this family background is not as good as Wang Han's.It's not noble, the Taiyuan Wang family has a rigorous family style, and Li's clan has scandals from time to time, and now it is hostile to Li Xian and his wife, but it is not as noble and simple as the Taiyuan Wang family.

But Li Chiying has an advantage.

She had shared life and death with the rudimentary soldiers of the blood camp in Fanjing, and even took the initiative to bandage their wounds. She often watched the blood camp training in Chang'an City, and later went to the Western Regions, and accompanied them from the Western Regions to Fengzhou.Therefore, the soldiers of the blood camp already regarded her as the only mistress in their hearts.

But this is Wang Hua's family affair, and they dare not interfere.

Zhu Ting's nature is different this time.

These thousands of common people and soldiers entered the tiger's den and went to the drums to give Zhuang Xing. Either Wang Hua went in person, or Wang Hua's wife, or Wang Hua's concubine, might think it was an insult.

This is to forcibly push Li Chiying to the height of his wife, making his status a final conclusion.Even if Wang Hua had any thoughts, he would have to worry about the thoughts of his soldiers and the people of Bazhou in the future.Although there are doubts about Li Chiying's lineage, Li Shimin also accepted Yang Guang's daughter. If it weren't for the eldest grandson Wuji who was afraid of Li Ke, Li Shimin would have made Li Shimin the queen.

In fact, this is because the princess in Luoyang has not given up until now, and Zhu Dian and Webster want to play Li Guer's card again, which makes Wang Hua lose his judgment, and finally makes a fatal move, which leads to the loss of the whole game.Therefore, Zhu Dian took the lead in Wang Hua's paintings, simplifying this entangled relationship.

Li Chiying agreed, and immediately rode to Yanzhou with Zhu Dian. She comforted the more than 2000 people and soldiers for Wang Hua, and also sent blessings and prayers in accordance with Zoroastrian etiquette.

Zhu Ting was taken aback for a moment. The nine surnames of Zhaowu were descendants of the Sogdians, who believed in Zoroastrianism, but he did not expect that Li Chiying would learn it secretly for this profession.

Seeing her sending her blessings in the crowd, thousands of people all thanked her with zero tears.This is the most honorable princess of the Tang Dynasty, and she is also Wang Hua's wife. Today, they use their religion to send blessings. Although this business is dangerous, it is worth it.Zhu Ting was even more satisfied.

Then Li Chiying stood there, watching these thousands of ethnic people pulling luggage in carts, driving cattle and sheep, disappearing to the horizon before returning to Lingzhou.

This group of people entered Liuhu State, which also increased Wang Hua's chances of winning.

In fact, it is not as optimistic as Zhu Ting thought.

First of all, the common people. The imperial court used the word captive, and Wang Hua also used the word captive. In fact, half of them did not.

The Tang Dynasty's policy on nomads was to relocate people, arresting the people from the defeated countries and scattering them in the border areas from Gaochang to Youzhou.Not only that, Wen Yanbo also offered to vote for one person and give five pieces of silk to attract Turkic people to join him.In the hands of Li Shimin alone, 10,000+ Turkic people came to surrender on their own initiative, but they were mainly resettled in Daizhou, Yunshun and other states, and there were also many in Fengzhou and Shengzhou.

The Liuhu prefectures are dominated by the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and the eight prefectures painted by Wang are dominated by Tuyuhun and Dangxiang people. However, these Hufan moved again after they arrived and began to mix with each other.But the main distribution is like this.The imperial court was also very generous to these people, paying a small amount of taxes, and even in order to give them autonomy, they did not register with the household registration department.Like Bazhou, there are only 10,000+ people in the imperial household registration, but after a check, there are nearly 30 people.That's why.But it is also difficult to manage. The population follows the grass, and there is no way to count it.

These tribes live in the land of nine bends, where the water and grass are plentiful, peaceful and happy, and they are also very loyal to the Tang Dynasty government.In fact, this cost was very high. Half of the reason for the later Mu Us and Kubuqi deserts was that the Tang Dynasty resettled these Hu people and turned them into pastoralists, which caused serious deterioration.

But this situation changed with an invasion of Silence.They live and work in peace and contentment in Hequ, but the ambitious silently regards them as subjects. Even the Sogdians have also surrendered to the Turks, which makes him unbearable.Therefore, they attacked Liuhu Prefecture and Yanling and other state capitals several times, which made the Hu people in the territory of Liuhu Prefecture think that the Tang Dynasty government was weak and could not protect their safety well.Coupled with Mochuo's internal rectification in the past few years, many people in Liuhu Prefecture took the initiative to subdue the Turks again.

Therefore, the area around Liuhuzhou has almost become a replica of Wang Hua's trip to Dafeichuan. There are not many people who resist, but more people take the initiative to cooperate with Mochuo and move to the north of Yinshan Mountain. Anyway, they are grazing. It's the same everywhere.Although the land of the meander is rich and beautiful, it can't even guarantee life, so why talk about beauty?
With the cooperation of these household registrations, Mo Chuai's progress went smoothly.

Moreover, there is a news of an order, which Wang Hua does not know yet.Mo Shui gathered them one after another, in order to free up more troops, and let some surrendered ministries manage other tribes on his behalf.In fact, these tribes live together, with different living habits and religious beliefs. In addition, because of the occupation of pastures, conflicts often occur.

Then ask the court to deal with it, but not every time it can be handled properly, so there are contradictions between each other.

To get this opportunity given by Mo Chuan, it happened to take advantage of Mo Chuan's power to pretend to be a tiger.

This Wang Hua knew, but there was one thing he didn't know. With Mo Tiao's latent intuition and his cunning, he agreed to these tribes, allowed them to deploy their own troops, and privately distributed some weapons seized from the warehouse of the Tang Dynasty.If Mo Chuai is willing, he will conjure up an army of nearly ten thousand at any time.

But his wisdom made him tell these tribes not to make it public, but to use it as a dark chess.

Wang Hua moved the people back to Yinzhou. Mo Chuai didn't know about it, but considering that Xiazhou and Yinzhou blood battalion had sent troops, he was afraid of trouble, or other ideas, when Mo Chuai's footsteps reached Xiazhou territory, he stopped automatically. down.

Then he turned around and went back to the northeast, and successfully captured Linzhou. He was considering whether to send troops to cross the Yellow River again, and when he led the army into the three states of Shuoyunlan to expand the results of the battle, he received news from the front.

This news was sent by some families in the Tang Dynasty who had contacts with Mo Chuo and didn't have a good impression of Wang Hua.

This was a wonderful move, and even Zhu Dian couldn't help but feel a headache after receiving the notification from some eyeliners, so he had Gongsun Yun's trip.After the battle at Jishishan ended, some of the main forces were only quietly transferred to the north, but they did not dare to transfer them openly.

But if you want to get first-hand information, you have to spend several days in silence.What Mo Chuai is holding now is the news from a few days ago.

The information sent started from the battle of Xueying Jieting, and continued until Xin Nuoluo went south to help the state, but was forced to retreat westward. The south side of the West Incline Mountains.There will be no more here, because even the person who sent the news knew that there must be a road to the south of Xiqing Mountain, but he didn't know if there was a road suitable for the army to pass through.

Silently looking at the information, he thought for a while, and called his son Etqin Huojie Lifashi Ashibi, and his most important counselors Apodagan and Peiluomohedagan Tunyugu. .Especially the latter two, who speak Chinese and Chinese, and are familiar with Chinese and French.Not only is Mochuo the most important think tank around him, but he also knows the Tang Dynasty very well.

When Wang Hua heard about these two people, he once asked Mo Hegan.

Mo Hegan asked strangely: "Why did they come to Hetao together?"

"Why can't you come?"

"These two people are the most important right-hand man in Mochuo's politics. If one person can still be established with Mochuo's personal conquest, if two people come together, could it be that Mochuo resolved all the domestic conflicts?"

This is obviously impossible. The Turks have been very strong in the past few years, but the various ministries in the territory have rebelled and surrendered. It is even more chaotic than Tubo. How can it be completely resolved?

But Wang Hua heard it, silently these two people are like Zhu Dian and Mo Hegan in the blood camp, or like Liu Bang's Xiao He, even if they march and fight by themselves, they only use the generals, and Mo Hegan must be captured. He Qian and Zhu Dian stayed behind to make overall plans and settle in the rear.

Wang Hua asked again: "How are these two compared to your talents?"

Mo He replied dryly: "Only strong but not weak."

Almost didn't even think about it.This also made Wang Hua more cautious about Mo Chuai this time.He didn't understand Abo Dagan and Tun Yugu, but he knew Mo Hegan very well, even though he was not good at martial arts, and he couldn't compose poetry.But he eats brains, Wen Tao, Wu Lue and Zhu Dian are not much different.At least in the military, it is faintly better than Zhu Dianyi.

Then Mo Hegan pointed to one of the lists, Que Teqin's brother Mo Ju, and said again: "This young man should also pay attention, his marching and fighting skills, or martial arts on horseback, are not weaker than Ge Shuhan."

Mo Ju was attacking Shanyu Dufu, so he was not with Mo Chuo.In fact, the attack on Shanyu Duhu Mansion was also false, this was to prevent Xue Na from sending troops from Youzhou to support Liuhu Prefecture.In addition, having this army north of the Yellow River is also a side response to Shengzhou.

Mo Chuai didn't know that Wang Hua was planning to copy his retreat, but subconsciously also made this arrangement, just in case.

Looking at this information, Erteqin said: "Father Khan, isn't this better? The blood camp must concentrate all the troops to deal with Tubo's [-] or [-] troops. Maybe the troops in the eight states are very empty now. Father Khan, we are Don't you want to attack Lingzhou?"

Liuhu Prefecture and Fengsheng and other states are good. This time they have obtained countless people's livestock, war horses and property. In terms of wealth, they are not as rich as Lingzhou.

Mo Chuan didn't say a word, he looked at Apodakan and Tun Yugu with his eyes, Abodakan and Tun Yugu brought a map, looked at the map and thought deeply.After reading it, the two of them looked at the information again, as well as the information from the previous few days. Apodagan was the first to speak: "Khan, it is possible that in just a few days, the dispute between Xinuoluo and the blood camp will come to light. .”

"Tell me why."

"Khan, look, Tubo was first attacked in Qinzhou, and then again in the two counties of Wuzhou. Now that Qinzhou is defeated by Zong Chuke, how many troops can we have? Don't say at this time, just Under normal circumstances, when Tubo's [-] to [-] troops invaded, the officials of these two prefectures would not have defended the city so bravely. Then the blood camp captured Taozhou. This way, there is not much way for Xinuoluo to retreat to Jishi Mountain .”

Nodding silently, to the north is Taozhou under the guard of the Blood Camp, and to the south is a large swamp.

Abo Dagan continued: "Why did Xinuoluo take the initiative to hand over the prisoners, which means that there is a hidden path at the southern end of Xiqing Mountain, but the path seems not easy to walk, and the blood camp threatened, so the people had to be released. But after passing Xiqing Mountain, you will arrive at Jishi Mountain. This is obviously the blood camp that sent the Tubo people to this road step by step. The real decisive battle may have started earlier. The minister did not agree with the proposal made by Prince Erteqin just now. If we attack Lingzhou, it may be advisable to attack Lingzhou a few days ago, but it is absolutely not advisable at this time. When we move the army to the city of Yanzhou, it is possible that the Blood Battalion army has already moved back, which will delay our attack. Business."

Tun Yugu didn't speak yet, but he frowned, and after a while he said: "It's not very good."

"why?"

"Khan, think about it, no matter how dirty the blood camp and the Tang Dynasty are, not many soldiers died in the last battle of the blood camp. In the case of the Tubo invasion, many officials of the Tang Dynasty would have the same enemy as Wang Hua. You have also seen that Qinzhou and Wuzhou launched a fierce counterattack, which means that the blood battalion and the officials of the Tang Dynasty joined forces. If the blood battalion wants to wipe out Xin Nuoluo, although the troops deployed may not have Xin Nuoluo's men There are many troops. But the blood battalion has won new victories, with high morale, and has never been defeated against the Tubo people. These make up for the weakness in numbers. It is in the Tang Dynasty again, and Xinuoluo's army goes deep alone. The terrain is not as familiar as Wang Hua. What's more What's more, there are many hills in this area, and the terrain is complex, which is more suitable for various ambush warfare in the blood camp. Why do you want to take the slant and attack Jishi Mountain, risking the failure of the plan, and force Xinuoluo to retreat to Xiqing Mountain? "

Fashi Ashibi came back to his senses, and he said: "Tun Yugu Yehu, you mean that the reason why they did this is that they didn't use many troops in this decisive battle. So it is possible in Xiqingshan Set up a shocking conspiracy, enough for them to use a small army to destroy the army of Xinuoluo?"

"Exactly. So another question arises, where is the rest of the army?"

After Tun Yugu asked this sentence, everyone's faces were not very good-looking.

It is obvious that the Turks just want to reap the fruits of the battle now. With Liuhu Prefecture, Fengzhou, Shengzhou and Linzhou, especially Liuhu Prefecture covers a large area and has a large population, they will get countless people for them, which is enough for this time The price they paid for going out, and after returning, they also had to digest it for a while.There is no need to confuse the blood camp and cause unnecessary troubles. In fact, they did the same.

Generally speaking, if the blood camp had a decisive battle with the Tubo people, it only needed to leave a small number of soldiers to guard some important city checkpoints. As for the Tang Dynasty, when they reacted, the decisive battle between the blood camp and the Tubo people would have ended long ago.

So where did the rest of the army go?
Mo Chuai suddenly realized when he heard this, no wonder, he always felt that something was wrong when he looked at this information.

But Russia Secret Service still didn't understand, and he continued to ask: "Then Tong Yehu, you mean that they might attack us. Why did they do this? Although we attacked Huaiyuan City, it was only a detailed attack. I believe Wang Hua will also understand what we mean. There is no need for him to fight on both sides. Does he really think that he is the grandson alive and Wu Qi reborn? Also, they want to mobilize the army, why haven't we heard any news from the scouts?"

"Prince, look at the map. The blood camp already owned the land of Yinzhou. Now that Xiazhou is in its hands and borders with Yanzhou, will it cut off the entire four northern states from the Tang Dynasty? In fact, this will , Wang Hua has already planned to bring these four states into the territory of the eight states. Then they can watch us take all the people away and get an open space? Let’s talk about the traces,” Tun Yugu looked at the map for a long time , looked at Mo Chuai and Abo Dagan with some uncertainty and asked: "I have an idea, is he going to use the cover of the desert to go behind the Yin Mountain? Although it will be very difficult, but in this way, it will be us No matter how many scouts are sent out, their actions will not be discovered."

Mo Chuai looked at the map, thought for a while and said, "It's not whether you can do it, but it's very good."

We all escaped from the polar ice sheets all those years ago, couldn’t we overcome the difficulty of the desert?
Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Ashibi, you immediately bring 5000 people to reinforce Fengzhou. You don't want to be meritorious, but you don't want to make mistakes. You must hold Fengzhou and open the passage for us to go north. Russian secret service, you immediately notify Moji, Tell him to return to Fangsheng Prefecture immediately, and at the same time go back and send [-] troops to respond."

Speaking of this, he looked at Abo Daqian and Tun Yugu, and said: "It's time for us to go back. But it's fine if Wang Hua doesn't come. If he does, I don't mind pouring cold water on him."

If Wang Hua heard their conversation, he would have poured cold water on Wang Hua, from head to extremities.
