The Hehuang Valley, on the banks of the Huangshui River, the camp that stretched for several miles was very lively. The head of the Xihaidao Marshal's headquarters set up camp here, making the old place of Xiping, which became sparsely populated due to the war, become lively.

In the big tent, the marshal of the Xihaidao and the prince Yuwen Weicheng were looking at the map. Several marching supervisors under his command were galloping in the Xihai area, which had already caused chaos in Tuyuhun.

Good news came from all marches, and a large number of men, women and animals were captured. This battle was unstoppable.

What is missing now is a thrilling good news: Khan Murong Fuyun, who caught Tuyuhun.

Take him back to Chang'an and offer him a prisoner to Taimiao...

Of course, if you don’t live well, you’ll die well.

While Yuwen Weicheng was imagining, the chief clerk Zheng Yuanchun hurried into the tent and brought him the battle report that had just been heard from the front: the marching chief Xue Shixiong and Zhang Dinghe pursued Murong Fuyun for more than a thousand miles, defeated the enemy's army, and captured it indiscriminately, but Murong Fuyun still escaped.

"Murong Fuyun ran away again? Where did he go?" Yuwen Weicheng asked in disappointment. Zheng Yuanshu replied: "I don't know the specific traces. Maybe he fled west to the territory of Dangxiang Qiang."

Zheng Yuanshu paused and added: "Dangxiang Tuoba tribe and Murong Fuyun got married, so if Murong Fuyun fled to the territory of Dangxiang Qiang, he would definitely go to Tuoba Dangxiang."

"As it true that he still fled west to Dangxiang?" Yuwen Weicheng sighed. Dangxiang Qiang's territory was too far away. With the current logistics supply of the official army, it was impossible to use troops against Dangxiang Qiang.

Seeing the prince pondering, Zheng Yuanfeng was afraid that the brain would be hot, so he ordered the official army to continue pursuing and quickly reminded: "Your Highness, our soldiers have tried their best to pursue each other thousands of miles. If they force themselves to fight, they may be taken advantage of by the enemy..."

"Zheng Zhuan, I didn't say I wanted to pursue him." Yuwen Weicheng smiled and waved his hand, "Everything is like the military conspiracy before the war, and I will stop when I see it."

Zheng Yuanlong was relieved when he heard this. He took the "sent" to the head of the Honglu Temple, as the chief clerk of the marshal, and went to the army with the army. Although the battle plan was led by the marshal, if the prince did things indiscriminately, as the assistant, he would have to dissuade him, otherwise it would be difficult to "come with him" when he went back.

This time, the prince was obviously trying to get the title of marshal to make military achievements. This is the top priority that the emperor values ​​most. If it is screwed up...

Zheng Yuanshu didn't want to go to Australia to open up the land. Seeing that the prince had no orders, he quickly stepped down and worked on other things.

Yuwen Weicheng continued to look at the map, and after a while, he sighed.

The battle in the West Sea was settled, and he almost had to return to Chang'an. As expected before the war, the official army took all the Hehuang Valley, restored the former land of Shanzhou, and then punished Tuyuhun and gave him a good lesson.

In this way, it would be no use for Yuwen Weicheng to stay in Longyou for half a year.

Last autumn, Yuwen Weicheng Governor Longyou, and waited for Tuyuhun Khan Murong Fuyun to send an envoy to apologize, and then took further measures.

As a result, Tuyuhun, who was sneak attacked by Tiel Xueyantuo's tribe, refused to give in. Although Murong Fuyun sent an envoy to Longyou for help, he was unwilling to express his opinions too much, and he could not even think about coming to apologize.

So according to the established plan, Yuwen Weicheng was appointed as the marshal of the Xihaidao Army on the spot, and under his command were the marching generals Yuwen Shu, Xue Shixiong, Zhang Dinghe, Li Jing, and Tiel Xueyantuo tribe who assisted in the war, so he wanted to teach Tuyuhun a lesson.

Teaching a lesson rather than destroying the country is the main theme of this military use, because it is not easy to destroy Tuyuhun. The opponent's vitality is as tenacious as a weed, and it cannot be solved by winning one or two battles.

The court could not use troops to multiple directions at the same time, so when Yuwen Weicheng knew that he had to stop when he was about to go to war.

Recover the Hehuang Valley, annihilate some of the opponent's troops, and then capture some people, and livestock as spoils. As for capturing the useless Tuyuhun royal city, Fuqi City, it is purely for a symbol to show the world that Zhou State has punished Tuyuhun.

Now, the marching general managers have good results, and it is time to withdraw their troops. After everything is arranged, he can return to the court.

As for Tuyuhun...

The other party will inevitably make a comeback, so Fuqi City west of the West Sea can give up, and the official army only needs to defend the Hehuang Valley next.

Focus on business for a few years and wait until the time is right, you can use troops to the West Sea again.

Yuwen Weicheng felt a little regretful when he thought of this. His experience in the military camp will never be gone in the future.

As the crown prince, he should not have stayed away from the capital for a long time. As the crown prince of the country, it is legitimate to ascend the throne in the future, so in fact, there is no need for military merit to prove anything.

Therefore, after this time, he no longer needs to lead troops to the war, and even if he is nominally in charge, there is no need to take charge.

Then this trip to the West Sea might be the masterpiece of Yuwen Weicheng's military life.

Of course, this should be a good thing.

Yuwen Weicheng walked out of the tent and looked at the tents that were rising and falling around him, and felt quite reluctant to leave. The feeling of commanding the army was indeed good.

The entire camp was built around the ruins of Xiping Ancient City on the edge of the Huangshui River. Yuwen Weicheng came to the ruins, looked at the ruins, the slowly flowing Huangshui River beside it, and then looked at the towering mountains on both sides, and suddenly felt like the change of the sea.

It is said that during the Yuanshou period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han army entered the Hehuang Valley westward and set up Xiping Pavilion on the bank of Huangshui River, which was under the jurisdiction of Jincheng County. Since then, the "Xiping" system has been established.

During the Jian'an period of the Later Han Dynasty, Jincheng County was divided into Xiping County, which governed the Hehuang Valley, and the county was under Xiping.

At the end of the Jin Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and Xiping County successively became the former Liang, Former Qin, Later Liang, Southern Liang, Western Qin, Northern Liang, and Western Liang. By the Yuan and Wei dynasties, the western county was the capital of Shanzhou.

During the Xiaochang period of the Yuan Dynasty, Tuyuhun in the Xihai region was strong and plagued Shanzhou all year round. Therefore, Xiping, which was the capital of Shanzhou, was in a panic, so the capital moved west to Ledu, and Xiping City was abandoned and gradually turned into ruins.

Now, as the crown prince, Yuwen Weicheng leads his army to be stationed beside the ruins of the old Xiping, which means that the Central Plains court has made a comeback. The Shanzhou Prefecture will return here. The new-looking Xiping City is about to rise up, and there are brave and warlike troops stationed.

The Hehuang Valley is the gateway to the east of the Xihai region. As long as the imperial court firmly controls Xiping, Hehuang can be controlled. Then Tuyuhun in the Xihai region cannot easily hinder Longyou and Hexi.

Therefore, Yuwen Weicheng felt that it would be more appropriate to describe Xiping as the "Key of the West Sea" and that when Xiping City is rebuilt, the garrison can attack the West Sea at any time, so that the Tuyuhun tribes cannot gather their forces to advance eastward, so as to maintain peace and peace in Longyou and Hexi.

Of course, if Tuyuhun wants to harass Hexi, he can take the ancient road to cross the Tianshan Mountains, not necessarily to the Hehuang Valley, but as long as the official army is stationed in Xiping, the other side cannot attack unscrupulously.

How to manage Xiping and Hehuang Valley was not something that Yuwen Weicheng had to worry about, because his father had already made arrangements, but he knew that the Qiang rebellion during the Later Han Dynasty almost dragged down the court at that time.
