Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty One Family!
"The Emperor Song was young and promising, with great ambitions, and was determined to repeat the heroic spirit of the Han and Tang dynasties and create unparalleled achievements again. The Western Regions were by no means his end. But the Western Regions were the starting point for the Han people to march into the river. The Central Plains was too far from the river..."
Huochihaer ignored Bilege's shamelessness and crying. He already knew Bilege's choice. As a loyal slave, he had no choice but to follow this decision.
Taking this as the premise and the starting point, this is the reason why he spoke. Because he now "appeases" Bile Ge, it is for Bile Ge to be good for Bile Ge.
Since you have made a decision, don't express your nostalgia for your previous rights.
"Whether it is to stabilize the Western Regions or to better use troops in the river, Emperor Song has only given him a heavy reward to His Majesty, and he has never been able to destroy the bridges across the river. I hope Your Majesty will be at ease and don't think about it. Today's situation is when Zhao Song's daughter buys horse bones."
After saying that, he stopped talking and left.
There was only Bile Ge in the hall. He sat down dejectedly, with a look of sadness. He was like a miserable man who was beaten and stolen from his wallet.
Are the things he expected still empty?
Time is the same as fate.
No matter how much unwilling you are in your heart, you will be helpless.
The only thing he fears now is that he has been in the Nine Springs and has no face to see his grandparents again.
Bile Ge sat alone for a long time, and at some point, tears accidentally wet his clothes. Gradually, he became calm.
All the reluctance seemed to be taken away by these tears.
If you say you don’t surrender and fight to the death, I’m afraid that the Yao Luoge clan will be implicated and destroyed.
If he really destroyed the bloodline inheritance of the Yao Luo Ge Gaochang branch because of him alone, wouldn’t he also be the sinner of the family?
With a sigh, Bilege said 'It's okay', and he completely accepted his fate.
...
Early in the morning a month later.
There is a hint of coldness in the early morning wind, which is different from the Central Plains in the Western Regions. Even in midsummer, the hot sun is in the middle of the sky. As long as you stay in a cool place and hide from the sun, the heat will fade away quickly.
More than twenty miles outside Gaochang City, a team was moving forward surrounded by hundreds of guards. The cool breeze blew everyone's robes, and this team that was on the road at dawn was wrapped in a cloak.
This is exactly the mission where Yuwen Xuzhong is located.
From top to bottom, from envoys to mission guards, there were more than one hundred people. They were either neatly dressed or brightly dressed.
They are only more than twenty miles away from Gaochang City, so they will definitely arrive today, or even in the morning.
Naturally, we must face every military and civilian there with the most brilliant image.
God knows how worried Yuwen Xuzhong was when he received the news that Liu Zhengyan had taken Baozhuang City by force. He was afraid that the Western Regions would be in trouble except for the expected chaos.
Fortunately, Nabilege was a perceived person. When the vanguard of the Song army arrived at Gaochang City, the man obediently opened the city gate and officially offered the land.
Yuwen Xuzhong was really afraid of sudden changes in the Western Regions, which would have a serious impact on Zhao Song’s entire Western Regions strategy!
Yes, Zhao Song had many soldiers and generals, and had abundant money and food, so he was not afraid of chaos.
Eighty thousand infantry and cavalry could not match the Western Regions, and another hundred thousand were sent, so Bianjing could also support it.
But not being afraid of things is not a contradiction between not wanting to be too much.
"Fortunately, everything goes smoothly!" Yuwen Xuzhong said this in his heart more than once.
And as he entered the Western Regions, as he approached Gaochang City little by little, the sense of gratitude in his heart became higher and higher.
From Guazhou to Gaochang, there is a road of more than a thousand miles in the middle. Even if the regiment is escorted along the way, there is no hair of a bandit, but the caravans communicating with the Western Regions and the Hexi Corridor have proved that the road is quite safe.
This is all the credit of Bile Ge!
If he hadn't been 'the overall situation is the priority' and hadn't been angered by Liu Zhengyan, how could the Western Regions be so "peaceful"?
The delegation walked slowly west along the avenue, with flags waving.
Under a beacon tower ten miles away from the city, Zhang Zhongfu and Zhang Zhongyan brothers led thousands of troops to join forces with a large number of Gaochang's powerful people, Yidu Protectors took the lead, and were quietly waiting for the arrival of the delegation under the scorching sun.
Yuwen Xuzhong is not just an envoy, he is also a close minister of the Zhao official family - a bonus for secretary and supervisor. Yuwen Xuzhong can never get rid of this hat.
Compared with the envoys, these Gaochang powerful people attach more importance to the latter's identity.
They have not landed safely yet, so how could they not curry favor with Zhao Guan’s close ministers?
There were also a group of people standing there waiting on the top of the city. They were Guo Yong, Wei Yanming, Guan Shigu, Li Yanqi and other generals under their command, and Bi Le Ge, who was accompanying him!
The latter has a wide-sleeved robe, and is already dressed in Hanfu. His eyes are calm and his expression is stable. He can't see any resentment when he was originally decadent.
After all, he is a smart person and knows what to do to maximize his benefits.
Isn’t the appearance that Wei Yanming and the leaders of the Western Expedition who came to see later?
The happier the latter, the more beneficial it will be to him. Bilege is very clear about this.
Not only did they show their admiration for the Central Plains in front of Wei Yanming, Guo Yong and others in the following time, they also took the initiative to learn poetry from the Han area.
The Uighurs are the preface template for the Khitan tribe, and the degree of sinicization of the upper class is also very deep. The reason why the process is inferior to that of the Khitan is that Zhao Gou privately thought it was because the Uighurs were separated from the Central Plains for more than a hundred years, and the Khitan was greatly influenced by the Zhao Song after the Tanyuan Alliance.
The mission finally arrived in front of Gaochang City.
Everyone went down to greet him. What made Bile Ge feel at ease was that Yuwen Xuzhong was very kind to him and did not have any arrogance!
In the city of Bianjing.
Just when Yuwen Xuzhong and his party arrived in Gaochang, Zhao Gou also received a presentation from Bilege. As for the news that Bilege offered land and accepted surrender, it had already been passed to him half a month ago.
A conclusion was drawn in the court about the resettlement of his person and many powerful people in Gaochang.
Bilege went to Beijing to settle down as soon as possible, and no longer paid attention to military and political affairs. Zhao Gou was granted the title of Duke of the Kingdom and inherited the inheritance of the country, ensuring his glory and wealth, and he also protected him and could stay in the Western Regions. After all, the latter had just been attached to him, and people were unstable, so he needed someone to stand there to be a role model for everyone.
The great nobles of the Gaochang Uighurs had two ways. One was to push the imperial court to reward them, stay in the Western Regions, and serve the Protectorate. In the future, they would have to go to the battlefield. The other was to follow Bilego into the capital, and the imperial court would disperse them in the four capitals, and they would be rewarded according to their status.
Zhao Gou was not afraid of many people staying in the Western Regions and not leaving, because the Gaochang Uighurs at this time were no longer the brave and war-hardened Uighur Khanate.
If all the high-ranking officials and nobles had the intention to go to the battlefield to fight for themselves and their families, the Gaochang Uighurs would not have been in a downturn in the past century.
Therefore, there will definitely be people who choose the first path, but there will definitely not be too many...
This will be much better.
It can not only distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the Gaochang Uighur nobles, choose the good ones and use them, but also use them to calm the hearts of the Uighur people, and that effect is the same as that of Yidu Protector.
Finally, it can be used in Dongkara.
