Chapter 1290 Qin Huaiyu and Xiao Yu
Yili's seventy-two princes and 15,000 coalition forces.
When we came all the way south, no one dared to resist the Western Turkic tribes wherever we passed, and they had to provide food and grass supplies, and did not dare to complain. We were afraid that we would anger these princes and destroy them if we had a disagreement.
It’s really these princes who are so fucking famous, look at the flags.
Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Shan Xiongxin, Zhai Rang, Huang Junhan, Pei Xingyan, Xue Wanche, etc., are not famous generals who have been famous for a while?
Although Qin Qiong is now the Minister of War in Luoyang, and is serving as the prime minister, his ten-year-old eldest son Qin Huaiyu, under the escort of his family, took the banner of Qin Qiong, and the 200 troops in the Qin family's fief are also fierce.
The princes whose heads of the Cheng family and the Yuchi family work in the court or local areas are mostly led by brothers or sons, and their family members are followed by their family members.
There were even a dozen princes who came in person. They did not hold court positions for the time being, so they came in person.
The commander of the coalition was former prime minister Xiao Yu. Since the Duke of the State resigned from prime minister, he has been operating in Yili's fiefdom. This time, he sent troops and finally everyone invited him to serve as the commander of the coalition, because he had served as prime minister after all, and even now he still has the title of crown prince and Taishi.
Xiao Yu was not ruthless. Anyway, this was just a glorious title. In real war, he still had to rely on those dozen real powerful generals.
Dundo City.
Tian Meng led hundreds of troops out of the city to line up to greet him.
"Masada Meng, the cavalry patrol team, welcome the marquis!"
Tian Meng looked at the row of purple-robed bosses in front of the coalition forces and couldn't help but thrust his face. Damn, all the third rank and above can be prime ministers. The six envoys of the local ancestry and the three provinces and six ministries were all only third rank.
But now, there are a lot of purple-robed big shots here.
There is no way, who told these people that they were all princes of the court, or princes.
In the Qin system, the eldest son of the princes was enthroned by the emperor as the princes, and enjoyed the same level of treatment as the princes.
However, Yili's seventy-two princes were all princes and marquises.
The founding marquis is the third rank, which means that even the founding marquis of the founding marquis will be regarded as the third rank, and can still wear purple robe and jade belts and enjoy the third rank treatment.
Tian Meng looked for a figure among the purple robes, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't see it.
Xiao Yu saw through what this guy was looking for at a glance and said directly, "King Yili was unwell and came here this time, and specially sent his kingdom to consult with the army to join the army, Mao Bushun."
King Luo Siye of Yili was the only one in the royal family who was enthroned in the Yili River Valley. Luo Siye made great achievements in military affairs and was deeply admired by the soldiers in the army.
This time he didn't come, not because he was really unwell. It was just that the seventy-two princes came, but after all, he had not received the imperial decree. There was only a letter of request from Anxi Governor Cheng Yaojin, and the other princes didn't have to worry too much.
Siye cannot do this. His identity is special, so he finally refused to feel physical discomfort, and everyone knew it in his heart.
Compared with other princes who were not in the fiefdom, they sent brothers or sons to come. However, Siye's daughters were all killed by Li Yuan before. Although he later married another daughter of the Boling Cui family and took several noble concubines, the child was still very young, so it was impossible for him to come on behalf of his father.
Tian Meng didn't see the general and was secretly disappointed. He had served as a soldier under Siye's command and wanted to see his old boss again at this moment.
The princes entered the city, and the coalition forces were stationed outside the city.
"Captain Tian, how is the situation in the city being replaced now?"
After entering the city, Xiao Yu asked a question.
"Returning to Mr. Xiao, there was another great victory in the city. Commander Xu, the patrol camp, took the initiative to attack outside the city, defeated more than 10,000 attackers from the invading Kucha, captured the commander of the vanguard, Nari, the prime minister of the Kucha Kingdom, alive, and annihilated 3,000 enemies and captured more than 3,000! After this great victory, the cities far and near were shocked, and dozens of cities took the initiative to come to the city to surrender. Commander Xu had already dispatched troops to settle in and defend."
Xiao Yu stroked his goatee beard, "I didn't expect that Monk Xu is so fierce. It seems that I have done this in one go. If we don't have to do it, it's the same." The princes were also very surprised. Monk Xu, after this battle, probably had a bright future, and another star rose leapt.
Both times, he defeated tens of thousands of enemies with hundreds of cavalry, which was simply the best-in-class general level.
"I'm still worried that Monk Xu can't defend the city of Changcheng. Now it seems that he's too worried. Liu Heifu, the cavalry patrol regiment, just led his troops into Wulei. Asanamis personally led his troops to attack the capital of Kucha as the vanguard. Now the city of Changcheng is so stable. I think we can all go back like a division."
The ten-year-old Qin Qiong prince Qin Huaiyu hasn't seen the Kucha people yet, so how could he go back? It was the time when the young man liked to play. This time he finally came out, so he wanted to see some big scenes, and even tried his martial arts riding and shooting himself, so how could he go back?
"Grandpa Xiao, we have been here thousands of miles. Now we have not seen the enemy yet, so we go back. This is too hasty. The King of Kucha has not yet captured it. We cannot retreat. I also want to take a look at the capital of Kucha."
"Hahaha, I'm just a joke. If you don't take it seriously, it's enough. If the troops are not out, you have to make contributions and achieve results." Xiao Yu actually opposed this military use against Kucha.
But no matter how opposed it is, it has become like this, so you can't hold back. You have to finish this battle no matter what, and you have to fight beautifully. Otherwise, why would he have to be the commander of the coalition army and come to this trip in person?
"Tian Meng, we won't be delayed here too much. We have to take a break and cross the mountain pass to change the city."
"Don't Mr. Xiao rest for a day or two before leaving?"
"No, it's better to finish this battle earlier. The longer the delay, the easier it is to get longer and dream more."
"Mr. Xiao is too worried. Now that the destruction of Kucha is determined, we will hold the snails with three hands, so we can hold them safely."
Xiao Yu ignored Tian Meng. Some things were hard to explain clearly when he was a small teammate.
After resting for an hour, the coalition forces continued to go south and crossed the Bodaling Mountain Pass. The coalition forces arrived at Dashi City before dark, which was originally one of the 36 countries in the south of the Tianshan Mountains.
When the army arrived at the city, Xiao Jin, Zhang Shigui and others came to greet him.
On the banks of the Hulu River, Xiao Jin told Xiao Yu and the others a good news. Now not only is the Dashi City owned by Daqin, but more than 200 villages in more than 30 cities along the Hulu River were all conquered and tempted by Xiao Jin during this period of time, and they were all conquered and conquered.
"Xiao Jin, which Xiao are you?"
Xiao Yu asked, looking at the young man with a hideous scar on his left eye in front of him.
Xiao Jin looked at the person in front of him with a complicated expression, "Lanling Xiao."
"Which room?" Xiao Yu asked again.
"Qiliangfang."
The house of Xiao Qi and Liang in Lanling was exactly the branch where Xiao Yu was located, and it was also one of the two dynasties of Southern Qi and Southern Liang. This branch produced twenty-one emperors and thirty prime ministers in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
"Xiao Jin, there seems to be no generation related to the character Jin in the clan." Xiao Yu said that the children of famous families all have rankings and generations, and their peers usually take the same character as the same generation or a radical. For example, Xiao Yu, his generation is the character next to the character Wang, and his brothers Xiao Cong and Xiao Xun are all like this.
"My father's name is Xuan."
"Xuan, Xiao Xian's father?" Xiao Yu immediately thought that Xiao Xuan, the father of Emperor Xiao Xian of Nanliang, was Xiao Yu's fellow generation, Xiao Yu's grandfather Xiao Xun, and Xiao Xuan's grandfather. Xiao Yu and Xiao Xuan are cousins of the same grandfather, and Xiao Xian is Xiao Yu's nephew.
Now Xiao Jin says that his father is Xiao Xuan, and he is Xiao Yu's nephew in his seniority.
"My son Xiao Rui and Xiao Xian are of the same generation." Xiao Yu means that Xiao Xian is of the generation, both of which are next to the golden characters, and the character Jin is obviously not.
"My mother is a concubine, and my mother and son are not worthy of attention at home, so they were unable to get the name of the golden character." Xiao Jin said bluntly.
Xiao Yu now believed it a little. Xiao Xuan's branch was relatively down in the Sui Dynasty.
Xiao Xian's grandfather Xiao Yan was the King of Anping Zhonglie. In the early years of Kaihuang, he betrayed the Sui Dynasty and went out of the Western Liang to surrender to the Chen Dynasty. In the ninth year of Kaihuang, the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen and Xiao Yan was killed by Emperor Wen of Sui.
Therefore, Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xian and Xiao Jin and his son lived in poverty in the Sui Dynasty. Xiao Xian, the legitimate son, could only make a living by selling books. Later, Xiao became the queen and promoted him to be a county magistrate with the kindness of his relatives. As for Xiao Jin, who was born to his concubine, he did not like him when his father was still in the Chen Dynasty.
Xiao Yu was unexpectedly Xiao Jin was Xiao Xian's brother, but he actually worked in the Qin Dynasty. After hearing Xiao Jin briefly tell his background and experience, he couldn't help but sigh.
"If you have ambition, you will surely achieve great things in the future." Xiao Yu praised.
At this time, such as Zhang Shigui, Xu Xiucai, etc., including Zhang Laosan, the former patrol team, they realized that King Xiao Yan actually had a brother who was the emperor in Jiangnan.
"Duke Xiao, please enter the city."
Xiao Yu patted Xiao Jin on the shoulder, "I am the same grandfather as your father, so you should call me to follow my father."
Congfather and the son of his grandfather's brother, Xiao Yu is younger than Xiao Jin's father, so he is also called Congfather. He is a very close relative of the same clan.
But Xiao Jin still saluted with his hands crossed, "Please enter the city!"
