Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen: Su Ding, Fang Baixue Chase He Lu, and General Lu Was Ordered to Attack Baekje

Seeing that all the followers surrendered one after another, He Lu had no choice but to rush westward with hundreds of cronies. When Su Dingfang of Beiyuan accepted the surrender, Ashina Buzhen and Ashina Mishe of Nanyuan were still entangled with the Wudulu tribe.The Wudulu Tribe entertained the two generals of the Tang Dynasty well, but after eating and drinking, they did not give any reply.They waited and watched, and when the news of He Lu's fiasco came, they readily agreed to join him.The entire Western Turks suddenly became a subsidiary of the Tang Dynasty, but Su Dingfang didn't think so.

He knew that if He Lu was not completely eradicated, this group of people would go back on their promises! The task of chasing Shaboluo Khan was handed over to Xiao Siye, a general of the Tang Dynasty, and Porun, a general of Huihe.They led Hu Bing straight to Xieluochuan (Xiehe River in Altai Mountains), and Su Dingfang first wanted to rectify the recruits who had just joined.When everything is in order, let's act! Ren Yaxiang raised objections on behalf of everyone, "It's impossible to chase He Lu now!" "why?" Ren Yaxiang pointed to the outside of the tent, there was heavy snow falling outside the tent, the snow was already two feet thick.

Su Dingfang looked at the crowd and asked in an unquestionable tone: "Is the heavy snow only hindering our business?" "..." "Don't talk nonsense, destroy He Lu in one fell swoop, chase after him!" The army walked on the snow and galloped day and night. Su Dingfang was destined to be a famous general in the world. Wherever the army passed by, there were many tribes of monkeys who were unwilling to walk in the snow. Seeing the arrival of the Tang army, they raised their hands and surrendered.When they reached Shuanghe (Bortala River), Tang Jun suddenly encountered a force.Everyone signaled to each other that there was no fighting, they would get together and move on.Many people can't guess that this is actually not He Lu's army, but Ashina's real army from the South Road. Like Su Dingfang, he led newcomers to help.

Here, it is only two hundred miles away from He Lu's lair. Facts have proved that He Lu, who had only a few hundred people when he fled for his life, remained calm after returning to his lair. In his lair, there is an extremely solid defense.He was not in the mood of Cheng Men Lixue, and he did not believe that in this freezing weather, people from the Central Plains would risk freezing to death to send him to the west.Drinking in a warm tent in a world of ice and snow is a very pleasant thing.He Lu was too relaxed. When Su Dingfang arrived, he was still hunting in the wilderness not far away.And in all his tooth tents, there are flustered soldiers.

Not far from He Lu's lair, Su Dingfang delivered a touching speech. Yan said: "If you have grievances, you will revenge, if you have grudges, you will have revenge, and if you don't have one, you will join in the fun. If you capture a living person, you will be rewarded!" The crowd cheered and rushed towards the defenseless tribe. The Western Turkic lair suddenly became chaotic and tens of thousands of people were beheaded. Su Dingfang took the Shaboluo drum flag (big drum and flag, Turkic token), and the crowd cheered. Because He Lu was hunting, he was very sad when he heard that the tooth tent was trampled by the Tang army, and fled to the country of Shi with the son and son-in-law of the warmonger.

Stone Country should not have appeared in history, and its location and customs should not have been recorded.However, thanks to Xuanzang, I recorded the situation here truthfully: "Zhe Shiguo (Shiguo), with a week of more than a thousand miles, is adjacent to Yehe River in the west. It is narrow from east to west and long from north to south. The soil is suitable for the same order as Jianchi Jianguo. There are dozens of cities. There are no rulers, but they belong to the Turks.” The target of He Lu’s defection is Tashkent, the capital of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Su Dingfang breathed a sigh of relief, looked west, and then ordered that all the prisoners be released and continue to live.Seeing the chaos here, he passed the road, set up a post office, buried the bones of the fallen soldiers, condoled the suffering of the people, demarcated the territory, and resumed production.All the wives and children who were snatched away by Shaboluo will be taken in and sent back, and the ten surnames will be stable as before.

Like sleepwalking, He Lu fled to Shi Country thousands of miles away, but he was worried, so he continued to flee northwest until he reached Suduo City in the northwest of Shi Country.At this time, Shaboluo completely lost the momentum of hunting, because he ran so desperately that he didn't eat much at all along the way.When they arrived at Suduo City, they had been hungry for several days.He Lu who had fled was warmly welcomed by Yijudaguan, the lord of Suduo City. After a full meal, Yijudaguan quietly closed the city gate. Yiju Daguan waved his hand, and the soldiers tied He Lu and others into big rice dumplings.

Official Yiju transported He Lu to the center of Shiguo, and waited for Xiao Siye sent by Su Dingfang. "Ambassador, I am not fluent in Chinese, but this is the person you want!" "Really? Hahahaha, you are polite, you are too polite!" "People of Shi Country like Master Xuanzang, please tell me!" "Hmm...hahahaha, you are polite, you are too polite!" "goodbye!" From then on, the side troubles that entangled Li Zhi were finally resolved, and the solution was so smooth.He divided the Western Turkic territory into Mengchi and Kunling Duhufu (belonging to Anxi Duhufu), with Ashina Mishe as the left guard general, Kunling Duhu, Xingxi dead Khan, Manage the Wuduolu tribe; take Ashina Buzhen as the right guard general, the guardian of Mengchi, and the successor Khan to manage the Wunushibi tribe.In addition, Guangluqing Lu Chengqing was sent to the festival to register his orders, and he still ordered Ashinamishe, Ashina Buzhen, and Lu Chengqing to manage the descendants of the surnames. According to the size of the tribe, they can be awarded officials below the governor. .

The time for He Lu's death came, and before he left, he suddenly became righteous. "I, originally a captive, was tolerated by the late emperor. The late emperor treated me well, but I failed him!" "Today's defeat is the wrath of heaven." "I heard that Chinese executions must be carried out in downtown areas, but I don't want to." In this way, I hope that if I can be killed before Zhaoling, I will also live up to the late Emperor's great kindness to me!" Li Zhi admired him deeply and ordered him to be pardoned. It's a pity that Comrade He Lu's endurance was much worse than that of Jieli. He died of depression not long after he was pardoned, and he was buried next to Jieli's tomb.

"Ashina Helu, Turkic, a man who can only be described as 'I rely on'. He died too early, and died of depression. Why are people depressed? Because they are full of expectations for reality That’s why some people say that there are two tragedies in life, one is despair, and the other is complacency. He Lu, after you die, your rebellious spirit will continue to be passed down in Turkic. We sincerely hope that you can sleep peacefully.” The court continued, and in the fifth year of Xianqing (660 A.D.), the Hebi Palace built by Li Zhi for Wu Zetian was completed. The couple went to Luoyang with all the officials to taste the sweetness of love.At the same time, Li Zhong, the former prince living in Fangzhou (Fangxian County, Hubei Province), finally realized the extraordinary splendor of Wu Zetian, and she always sent people to visit Li Zhong.Therefore, Li Zhong was stunned.Li Zhongsheng was afraid that Wu Zetian would send someone to kill him in the middle of the night, so he liked to change places every night when he slept.What's even more frightening is that in order to prevent the killer from seeing that he is Li Zhong, Li Zhong found many women's clothes.People in Fangzhou often saw Li Zhong get up in the middle of the night, wearing a skirt, walking back and forth in the yard like a ghost.

If it was only like this, Wu Zetian would not have killed him. Li Zhong paid a heavy price for the following actions. Li Zhong couldn't trust anyone, he only believed in fate.He found a fortune teller to give him a fortune teller, and the fortune teller talked nonsense to fool Li Zhong to calm down.But as soon as the fortune teller left, the envoy sent by the imperial court arrived, and the envoy said that Li Zhong had secretly conspired with the magician to plot something wrong.Li Zhi didn't allow Li Zhong to argue, and immediately ordered him to be deposed as a commoner, fled to Qianzhou, and imprisoned in Li Chengqian's former residence.Empress Wu was very satisfied with Li Zhi's approach, and she approached Li Zhi thoughtfully. But Li Zhi was not as broad as Wu Zetian. He was dizzy from the series of rebellions. In October of this year, due to insufficient blood supply to the brain, his eyes turned black and dizzy. Governance.I don't know whether Li Zhi has high blood pressure or high blood lipids. In short, his condition matches the temple name of Tang Gaozong very well. When the emperor got sick, the prince had to supervise the country.But the crown prince Li Hong was too young, Li Zhi felt that it would be better to let his wife manage the government affairs for him! Wu Zetian has begun to take charge of the government. At the moment, there is nothing wrong with the government, only Dongyi and Baekje are causing headaches. Baekje understood, he understood that Tang Taizong did not defeat Goryeo, he invaded Silla by himself, the Tang Dynasty wrote a letter to criticize, at most it condemned and condemned, and there would be no actual action.Because Baekje provoked the Tang Dynasty, the court sent Xue Rengui to continue to harass Goryeo, but Baekje has no candidates for the time being.Although Li Zhi is kind, he will not be so cowardly to the outside world.When Su Dingfang pacified the Western Regions, Li Zhi ordered him to be the general manager of Shenqiu Dao's march, and led General Zuo Xiaowei Liu Boying and other generals to gather a 100,000 land and water army and go to Baekje to crusade. Silla, who was oppressed by Baekje, also expressed that it would definitely cooperate with Tang Dynasty's actions. The person sent by Silla was Kim Chunchu, the younger brother of Silla Queen Kim Jindeok, who was appointed by the Tang Dynasty as the general manager of the Yiyi Road. In August, the waterway army from Chengshan (Weihai Rongcheng) marched to the mouth of the Xiongjin River (the Jinjiang River in the territory of Korea), covering the sky and penetrating into the land of Baekje. Su Dingfang led the first battle with the Baekje army.As a result of the battle, the Baekje people showed excellent combat qualities. They ran when they could run, and fell down when they couldn't run. The Tang army easily advanced to a place more than 20 miles away from the capital of Baekje.It was only then that people discovered that Baekje was not unprepared. The reason why they did not resist on the river was because all the troops of the whole country were concentrated near the capital! Su Dingfang took a deep breath. Wu Ya Ya was endless, and the Baekje army waited for a long time. Su Dingfang squinted at the opponent, took the lead, and led the army to pounce on him.Baekje generals are also brainy, and they have made various strategic plans before.But when the Tang soldiers came to kill them and fell down, the Baekje soldiers panicked.Su Dingfang only thought that he was training with Baekje outside. The formation of Baekje for more than 20 miles was broken into several sections by the Tang army. Baekje was defeated and beheaded more than 10,000 people. Sibi City (now Buyeo County, Chungcheongnam-do, Republic of Korea), dozens of miles away, ushered in its peak passenger flow, and all the fleeing soldiers poured into the city gate.After everyone calmed down for a while, people who were still sane began to look for the surviving senior officials.In the country of Baekje, the king has the largest official position.But everyone searched carefully, but found a serious problem: the king was lost! where are you king King, we cannot make such international jokes! King, come back quickly, Smecta! Fuyu Yici, the king of Baekje, lived in Woongjin Fortress (Gongju, located in South Chungcheong Province, South Korea).When everyone ran away collectively, regardless of his sixty-one-year-old age, this man dragged Prince Fu Yulong along with him... To put it simply, Yici has a unique vision. He found a unique way and went to a city that no one could have imagined—Wongjin.But the soldiers who fled to Sibi City were not so indifferent. They always wanted to find someone who could lead them to the revolution.In the process of selecting leaders, everyone showed a side deeply influenced by Confucian culture. You let me, I let you, very like Kong Rong letting pears. In the end, it was Yici's second son Fu Yutai who dared to take on the responsibility. He delivered a speech with passion, encouraged the soldiers, and led them to defend the city.Fuyu Taigan's revolution is entirely for himself, because his father is still there, and the prince is still there, and he can't wait to proclaim himself king as a second child.Prince Fuyulong's son Fuyu Wensi commented on his uncle Fuyutai's deeds. He said: "The king and the prince are still alive, and my uncle can't wait to proclaim himself king. If he can defeat the Tang army, our father and son will undoubtedly die after he wins; But Tang Jun, we still have to surrender..." Conclusion: Let's stop messing around and just surrender! Therefore, Fuyu Wensi induced everyone to leave the city and surrender. Everyone agrees, but the city gate disagrees.Looking at the closed city gate, Fuyu Wensi came up with a strange trick, borrowing a few ropes, and let the people down one by one.This action obviously stimulated the broad masses of the people. In the commotion, thousands of soldiers and civilians rolled and tried to escape. Suddenly, the people's hanging ropes hung all over the city wall, and people covered the entire city wall like ants moving house.Only Fu Yutai, he was kept in the dark, he and his cronies had just heard that someone had escaped, so shocked, he decided to take the risk of going to the city wall to have a look, maybe he could take command in front of the battle. Unfortunately it was too late.
