Chapter 956: Meng Dong's Sandstorm (Continued)
To be honest, the people of the Kiagas are also an anomaly among the nine barbarians around them, and their origins in the Tang Dynasty were also extraordinary.
Although most people with Khikas had red hair and fair faces; some people with black hair called themselves the noble seeds of the country after Li Ling. Like most vassal tribes outside the border, they usually engage in nomadic activities, fishing and hunting, and also have a small amount of crops. They believe in the primitive shamans that have spirits in all things are called "Gan" (Changshengtian). However, what is even more amazing is that they are also recognized as distant descendants of the Li Tang Dynasty. When they met with Zhongzong, they were personally proclaimed that "the country is the same as me, but it is not the same as other people."
He even assisted Tang Ting in the battle of the Later Turkic Khanate, and went to the Tuqishi and the entire venue during the Geluo era. He was also the leader of the most powerful ministers and vassals under the Beiting Protectorate. Therefore, in the "Turkish System" edict of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, he praised the "profit of the arrows and the direction of the arrows". Later, he became the Uighur Khanate, who was accused of the collapse of the romance and dispersion.
After the remnants of the Uighurs led by the Pugu tribe occupied Tingzhou, these Khikas people also became one of the main threats to be the first to be brutal. They had to join forces with the Anxi Uighurs, who were also cold in their mouths and teeth. More than ten years ago, a Khikas envoy said when he came to Chang'an that he was willing to cooperate with the Guiyi army to regain the Anxi land for the Zong family and country, but he gave up because Emperor Yizong of Tang at that time.
Therefore, in the battle to advance eastward to assist the Tang Dynasty in quelling civil strife, the nephews of the Tang Dynasty and the distant clan, who were enemies of the Tang Dynasty, not only did they not be able to meet the same camp and fight continuously, but they also needed to share a spirit to guard against each other. This situation was not only limited to the Kiagas and the Uighurs of the Three Clans; but these foreign soldiers and horses, even among the Uighurs of the Three Clans.
For example, the fifteen Anxi Uighurs, whose territory is the widest under Pontele, also had constant disputes with the Pugu clan of Xizhou, which is active in Beiting. However, they have a greater relationship with the Guiyi Army, but they are the weakest in Buddhism, and they believe in Buddhism. They also have a grudge against the Anxi Uighurs because of their escapist tribes on the grassland and their frequent travels. At the same time, they are also wary of the Western Uighurs who believe in Manichaeism.
Then there was a feud between the remaining Tubo species and Tuyuhun and Supi people; a dispute between the Wendu tribes of different backgrounds and origins; a dispute between the Sogdians and the Khotan and Shanshan people, a conflict between the local Zahu of Suzhou and the Long clan and the Dadan (Shiwei) people who followed the remnants of the Uighurs; it was almost intertwined and intertwined in the entire process of the rise and development of the Guiyi Army.
But it was precisely because the Guiyi Army led by the Zhang family that he had long served as arbitrators of all parties for a long time, and was able to become familiar with the 11 Helong Prefectures within and outside Helong. Therefore, during the disputes after Zhang Yichao's death, they were so concerned and persistent about the royal court awarded by the court. Now all this has been inherited by the Northwest Guidantai/Guangdong District along with the great coalition forces led by Zheng Ting.
Therefore, in order to arrange their combat sequences and batches, the coordinated combat will not turn into internal strife in front of the enemy; it will be enough to make the Northwest National Taiwan University go through hard work and painstaking efforts. For example, the war against Chang'an was completely free of any foreign vassals; even the civilians, which were originally under the Guiyi Army, were arranged outside the city as a stand-alone.
Therefore, after the powerful force of entering the pass and encircling the capital, the foreign forces with stronger independence, such as the three surnames and Uighurs, were transferred away some of the strong and strong men. They were either used to sweep away the "remnants of the thief army" and "not following the kingly transformation" strongholds in the inner roads of the pass, or to go out of the capital and go out to the capital and eat their own food and eat between the local lands. Or they went north and west to "recover" the old places of the military towns that fell in Jingyuan, Yinxiasui, Fufang, Fengxiang, Bining, Lingyan/Shuofang.
Of course, according to the closeness and distantness of the imperial court/Taiwan relationship, the closer the activity area arranged is to Chang'an, the closer it is to the place of closeness and trust. The Xizhou Uighur tribe who can be stationed in the western suburbs of the capital is undoubtedly a close relative of the closeness. In contrast, the people of the Khikas, who are known as the distant clan of the country, were only arranged near Xianyang City. As for the Wenmo tribes who were born as Tubo slaves, they were moved to Yansui Road to Hedong at this time.
So when he heard a call from Chang'an City, Pu Gu Junqing took it with him without hesitation. In addition to staying in the camp to guard the baggage and grazing sheep and horses, more than 8,000 infantry and cavalrymen drove straight down to Lantian City in southern Beijing. Although Li Mingda, who was responsible for besieging Lantian City and besieging Lantian City, was also his old rival to the Uighurs in Xizhou.
In the battle of Xitonghai (now Sugan Lake in Aksei Kazakh Autonomous County, southwest of Dunhuang), he led the Guzang children riding on the Hezhou horse and lured out the main force of the Pugu tribe with bluffing. Then, while chasing and entangling along the coast of Xitong, another armored cavalry armed to the teeth crossed the gap between the battlefield and killed the central defense line that the guards blocked by the tent guards;
In the end, the baggage sheep, horse, old, weak, women and children were captured, as well as the elderly, Pugujun, who was the old leader who claimed to be Asaran Khan, and Puguyeren, the "Uighur Prince" who was in charge of the palace army. This led to the great move of the Pugu soldiers on the front battlefield and fleeing and being defeated. Afterwards, in order to negotiate peace with the Guiyi Army as soon as possible and not coveted by Pang Teqin of Anxi, the Pugujun also paid a series of great costs, including marrying daughters and personal means.
As the eldest leader's brother, Pu Gu Junqing's father, the left crossbow of the commander of the tent guard, Pu Gu Shi Jin, was the first to die in the raid. He was the object of both new and old hatreds and public and private. However, despite this, at the wedding afterwards, he was still named Pu Gu Ya, who was still named Pu Gu Ya, and was able to drink and talk happily in court and lie drunk on the spot on the spot, including the Li family of Liangzhou official Jianzhong.
Therefore, he is also one of the few of the Uighurs in Xizhou today who can be praised by Pugujun, the leader who is old and old, and is praised as "the second son has the overall situation and the cunning." Therefore, he became the first choice for the army to be the leader of the King Tang uncle this time. Therefore, although he wished that Li Mingda, who was once the nickname "Li Fachi", was one of the four historians and six horses under Zhang (Yichao) Situ, would fall into the trap or fall off his horse and die in the next moment; he was still willing to respect the Taiwan support one or two.
This is not only due to the court orders and personal fame. On the one hand, according to the customs passed down from the grassland tent, powerful warriors have always been worshipped and respected. Even if this warrior is an enemy to kill his relatives, if he is strong enough to be beyond the reach of Zhang Situ, even his uncle, Pugujun, the great leader of the Xizhou Uighurs, who is now a foundation, was willing to drive him in his early years.
On the other hand, Pugu Junqing was still looking forward to seeing each other again in a critical situation, it would be better to see the other party who was being so enshrined. However, when the Xizhou people and horses led by Pugu were on the battlefield, everyone prepared horses and had one or two or three riders. However, after a long distance, they were still damaged after the fierce battle in the long winter, and the cattle and horses used to ride were even weak and were especially injured.
Therefore, now, the scale and layout of infantry and cavalry can only be maintained at half the scale and half of the size of the infantry and cavalry; therefore, it took a little more than expected to go from the west to the south of the city. Fortunately, the Xingtai had allocated more than 1,000 scaled iron armor and three thousand pairs of leather-inlaid pockets from the seized military funds of the thief army, and soaked nail armor, which made his team, which was mainly hooded and leather outfit, suddenly rose to several steps.
The moonlight in the ruins of Wuliuyi was still cold, and it was shrouded in the bright illumination of countless lanterns and torches gathered during the night march, looking hazy as fog; it was like Pugu Junqing's mood at this moment. Then a personal soldier came forward and whispered to report:
"No, you have to pay attention to unexpected things. This should be the case for the bandit army and the Liang soldiers, otherwise it will be difficult to do your best... The order will be a short rest and take a moment to attack after drinking water and feeding horses. Please make sure to advance in one go!"
However, Pu Gu Junqing waved his hand and said:
"While the headquarters was resting, the Legend of the Condor Heroes and the Flying Purgler alternated with Youye Police whistle..."
"Another send a roaming with a wink to investigate, I didn't see any movements from the official army's sentry or the fire tower along the way. Is this too lax and presumptuous, right?"
While explaining his defense, Pugu Junqing walked up to the sealing platform of Duting Station as a mileage signpost and looked into the distance. However, his bright voice had not fallen for long in the night wind; but suddenly he seemed to feel something and suddenly turned his head and heard a slight crisp sound. The iron pages on the edge of Luan Dou's cheeks were blown away, and a red blood line was drawn under his eyes.
"careful.."
"hidden weapon.."
"Someone attacked..."
Although Pugu Junqing still wiped the hot spots on his face with some unknown understanding, then the guards on the left and right were already shocked and rushed forward, rushing to surround them with their bodies. Then the next moment, a guard screamed in silence, and a stream of blood splashed out from his body again. This time, Pugu Junqing finally reacted and confirmed the approximate location of the attack.
A moment later, in the temporary camp that was completely alarmed, several teams of light cavalry that rushed out with a fire stick, also rushed to the name of the five thick willow trees with strange shapes in Wuliu Post, under the cover of the troops who began to shoot with rockets in Wuliu Post, and rushed to the mark of the name of Wuliu Post, the five thick willow trees growing strangely. Almost at the same time as the rockets were lit through the night sky; under one of the big willows, they suddenly ran away with the sound of tapping, but quickly disappeared into the large darkness of the tree.
However, the cavalry that chased out soon rushed back and sent new news and changes:
"What, have you discovered a group of cavalry suspected of the ridge thieves (Taiping Army)? And fired to the face with firearms?"
Pugu Junqing had stopped bleeding, but his face was still mottled with a grim smile:
