Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-Third

Pei Xingjian will not make low-level mistakes. When the Turkic soldiers came, he led the elite and suddenly stood up from the grass. All the Tang soldiers who were hiding on the roadside that the Turkic deserters had to pass suddenly rushed out and rushed the large Turkic food grabbing troops. I was caught off guard.There was a tiger in front, and a jackal in the back. The front army hurriedly chose the less ferocious wolves and ran to the back, but the rear army didn't know that there was a tiger in front, only that the jackal was about to bite their throats off. The Turkic army was crowded in front and back and became a mess.

Pei Xingjian issued an order to see blood, Tang Jun actively implemented it, and there was almost no Turkic army left. Pei Xingjian issued a notice generously, asking the Turks: The food is here, do you dare to grab it? The Turkic rebels were afraid. They thought that Pei Xingjian's actions had two effects: first, we no longer dared to grab food; (Since he is the operator of food and grass, no captive dares to approach.) Pei Xingjian led the army back to camp in the north of Shanyu Mansion. He said that the Turks would come again. Tang Bing was busy setting up camp and digging trenches. He worked hard and was about to finish digging. Pei Xingjian suddenly ordered that all the personnel be transferred to Gaogang quickly.The soldiers complained, after all, the most painful thing for a person is that you squatted there and worked hard for a long time, but the result was just a fart.Pei Xingjian did not explain, and strictly ordered the whole army to gather at Gaogang, and those who violated the order were killed.The bosses of the crowd reluctantly packed up their things and left the fruits of their labor.

It was getting late, what could happen in this short night of a few hours? Pei Xingjian rolled his eyes at the general who wanted to obstruct the action, and said in a non-negotiable tone: "Execute!" The army was stationed on the high hill. Just after entering the camp, a cloudy wind suddenly blew up in the sky. After a few thunderbolts, it began to rain heavily.In an instant, the original mountain gap merged into a flood of more than three meters high (the water depth is more than ten feet), and the original station has become a vast ocean.The generals were shocked and asked Pei Xingjian what happened.Pei Xingjian smiled, "From now on, you just listen to me, and you don't have to ask what's going on! (From now on, you just follow my orders, and you don't have to ask why you know it!)" Someone asked what to do next, and Pei Xingjian said, "I didn't either. Method."

Some people think that the Turkic army will hide on the Black Mountain not far away, and they must occupy the mountain and refuse to come down.But according to Pei Xingjian's analysis, this is not the case. After resting, Pei Xingjian pointed to the other side of the mountain, and he said that he finally thought of a good way.That is—disband on the spot, and gather on the other side of the mountain before evening.Such a ridiculous decision obviously made many people unable to understand. In order to let everyone complete the task better, Pei Xingjian said: "The Turks are stationed in this mountain, and I don't care where it is. The task of you generals is to lead all The team walks along the mountain road. When they meet the enemy, they kill them, and when they meet thieves, they kill them."

After hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. Now that they had a stage to display their expertise, the generals began to attack crazily. After several battles, the bandit army completely collapsed. one year later…… Ashina Funian and his ally Ashina Wenfu were still at ease, and Pei Xingjian once again led an army to station troops in Daizhou, preparing to wipe them all out. Mr. Pei is still very friendly. He sent a few good-looking people with good eloquence to brainwash the two brothers respectively. The specific situation is roughly as follows: Fu Nian, Mr. Pei is actually very concerned about you middle-aged people who have lost their way. If you treat me as well as Wen Fu treats his envoys, maybe Mr. Pei will promise to save you from death when he is happy!

What?What does it mean to "treat me as well as Wen Fu treats the envoys to him"? Oh, hahahaha, you don't know yet, Wen Fu wanted to talk to Mr. Pei a long time ago, I heard that he was ahead of us, and he had a very good attitude towards those envoys! When Fu Nian heard it, she laughed deeply, thinking: Wen Fu is a bitch. As above, Wen Fu also welcomed the envoys of the Tang Dynasty who arrived at the same time. Wen Fu, Mr. Pei is actually very concerned about you middle-aged people who have lost their way. If you treat me as well as Fu Nian treats the envoys who went to him, maybe Mr. Pei will promise to save you from death when he is happy!

What?What does it mean to "treat me as well as Fu Nian treats the emissary going to him"? Oh, hahahaha, you don't know yet, Fu Nian wanted to talk to Mr. Pei a long time ago, I heard that he was ahead of us, and he had a very good attitude towards those envoys! When Wen Fu heard this, he sneered deeply, thinking to himself: I want to miss this shit. Comrade Wen Fu was happier. After listening to the emissary's deceit, he immediately wrote a letter expressing sincerity to Pei Xingjian and handed it to the emissary. When the envoy returned to the camp, Pei Xingjian ordered Wen Fu's letter to be delivered quickly, saying that Comrade Fu Nian must have a look at it.As expected, Fu Nian saw it, and scolded her after seeing it.He raised his head, saw the friendly expression of the Tang Dynasty envoy, and felt that this is where kindness and integrity lie, so he decided to draw a clear line with Wen Fu, and vowed to capture him with his own hands and present it to Lao Pei, as a token of his heart!When the spies and envoys returned to the camp, Pei Xingjian asked a few words, and then stopped mentioning the matter, and everyone was puzzled.A few days later, the most unexpected thing happened.

In the distance, smoke and dust filled the sky, and mushrooms like atomic bomb explosions billowed out, floating to the south, and Tang Bing was terrified.Generally speaking, this situation is caused by the enemy's massive attack.Pei Xingjian went out of the tent, looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, and suddenly laughed. He waved his hand and said, "This is Fu Nian who captured Wen Fu and came to surrender. Don't be afraid. Set up your formation and accept surrender as if you were an enemy. There is nothing wrong with it." .” The army was ordered to strictly guard, and after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

Pei Xingjian, who was full of bad things, sent people to reward Fu Nian. Fu Nian let out his voice and began to cry about his tragic experience, scolding Wen Fu for his wolf-heartedness, and hoped that the Tang Dynasty adults would be magnanimous.Pei Xingjian comforted Fu Nian to rest, took over his troops, and waited for the arrival of the imperial envoy (who came to reward him). People with a discerning eye can clearly see Pei Xingjian's meritorious deeds. He should have been praised by others. But Pei Xingjian himself said that he was not so lucky.Soon, one person saw Pei Xingjian's flaws very exceptionally, and said that Pei Xingjian was a villain.As for why, it depends on Fu Nian who survived the rebellion.He said that Fu Nian was actually attacked by Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxu, and fled to Pei Xingjian when he had nowhere to go.Huihe in Qibei forced him to go south again, and he had no choice but to surrender.He didn't know that Pei Xingjian promised not to kill Fu Nian in order to stabilize the Turks. He only knew that Fu Nian rebelled and deserved to die.

Therefore, at his initiative, the imperial court issued such an order: Fu Nian and Wen Fu must be executed. In addition, Pei Xingjian can't be too complacent. Everyone discussed and decided that Fu Nian's surrender really had nothing to do with him.So the second decision came out, Pei Xingjian didn't do anything in the Western Expedition, and he didn't get any credit at all. Li Zhi opposed everyone's opinions. He thought that Pei Xingjian was not easy, and there was hard work without credit! So, he rewarded Lao Pei two taels of silver (or maybe four taels) and let him go home to buy wine.

The person who wrote to expose Pei Xingjian was named Pei Yan. He was a kind-hearted person and also a fellow of Pei Xingjian.Pei Yan, courtesy name Zilong, was born in Jiangzhou Wenxi (Shanxi Wenxi).He has read thousands of volumes, has a generous and mellow personality, but rarely jokes with others, and has a great ambition in his bones.He was a Jinshi of the Ming Jingke, worked as a censor, and worked as a householder, and gradually mixed into the position of the servant of the Huangmen. Pei Yan is a very admirable person. When he became a high-ranking official, he has never been greedy for a penny. There is also a good reason for him to take Pei Xingjian's knife. Hao Chujun resigned, Liu Rengui was old, and Pei Xingjian had made such great achievements, who would be the most feared person? Without Empress Wu violently blowing the pillow wind, Li Zhi would not send Pei Xingjian away like a beggar with two taels of silver (just a metaphor), without crediting him.The prime minister has no role for Pei Xingjian, which is really the best thing for Empress Wu.Pei Yan may not be Empress Wu's confidant, but he has really helped Empress Wu a lot.It's hard to tell if Pei Yan is just a scholar talking on paper. Li Zhi ordered to kill more than fifty khans who surrendered.Pei Xingjian looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's wrong to kill and surrender. If you persuade him to surrender in the future, will people still believe you?" Pei Xingjian knew that the general situation was over, so he never left Du's house.Li Zhihui will pay a heavy price for his decision. Yes, Fu Nian, who has the blood of the Khan, died. Commanded a rebellion.Li Zhi suddenly missed Pei Xingjian very much, so he recruited him as the chief executive of Jinya Road.After the preparations for the army were completed, Pei Xingjian died in the first year of Yongchun (682 AD) at the age of sixty-four. It should be said that Pei Xingjian is a myth, always leaking secrets.When commenting on Su Weiwei and Wang Ju, he also added a few words, "You are the future prime ministers, but I can't, I can't see my son's growth. Ten years later, when you become prime ministers, I hope you can take care of him. Hit them." This passage was recorded by historians, and every prophecy he said became a fact in black and white. Pei Xingjian was clean and honest all his life, and his descendants can stand on their own and don't need others to support them.Prince Li Xian visited them, and when he came back, he reported that what Pei Xingjian said was true, and Li Zhi issued an edict to stop the long-term care of Pei Xingjian's family members. (I ordered the crown prince to send officials to protect the family affairs, so that the children and grandchildren can stand on their own, so stop.) According to legend, among Pei Xingjian's sons, there is one named Pei Shaojun, who is very talented and good-looking.When Pei Xingjian was the Minister of Rites, a beautiful love story happened to his son.Pei Xingjian is the Minister of Rites of the imperial court. One day, he asked Pei Shaojun to go to Luoyang to purchase saplings.In Luoyang, the bold and rebellious Pei Shaojun hooked up with a beautiful woman, went over the wall on a date, sat outside the low wall in a cool posture, and rode a horse to see the beautiful woman. This story was later written as a joke by a Yuan Dynasty dramatist named Bai Pu, named "On the Wall". In the second year of Tiaolu (AD 680), Princess Wencheng passed away, and the people of Tubo built many ancestral halls for her to commemorate this princess from the Tang Dynasty.On the Tubo side, they completely tore up the peace treaty and led troops to invade Heyuan (southeast of Xining, Qinghai).General Hei Chi Changzhi analyzed that there is an essential difference between Tubo and Turks. Turks often rebel because of lack of food or drink or fear. Tubo is different. Compared with Turks, they have more brains.The reason why they tore up the contract after they made an agreement with us was that they didn't have enough bargaining chips and they couldn't afford to lose. Black Tooth Changzhi is right. Tubo has everything. They have acquired almost all the tribes in the Qinghai-Tibet region, but they dare not expand eastward. Because that is the opponent they are afraid of, because that is Datang! Heizhi Changzhi is guarding the Heyuan area, and he can be described as a brilliant commander.This is not just talking casually. Just looking at the situation around him, one can see that firstly, there are not enough soldiers and horses, and secondly, there is not enough food.But what is strange is that Heizhi Changzhi can easily repel Tubo's repeated attacks, which is admirable.Black Tooth Changzhi's strategy is that if there is no food, you can't always ask for it, otherwise you will appear too thick-skinned. He set up more than 70 beacon towers beside the key points of Heyuan to guard against Tubo's attacks at any time.Between the beacon towers, soldiers reclaimed more than 5,000 hectares of fields.Since the treasury soldiers are all composed of peasants, they serve as soldiers when they are free and farmers when they are busy. Therefore, Hei Chi Changzhi successfully completed the plan of plowing and farming. After a year of arduous struggle, he produced more than 500 Wanshi food greatly meets the combat needs. Tubo is very annoyed at Hei Chi Changzhi, and Tubo is not reconciled if Heyuan is not eliminated. The Heyuan army's strict precautions prevented Tubo from finding a breakthrough, so they had to target other places. This place is located in the west of Sichuan. Once it is opened up, it will not be difficult to enter the Central Plains.Because there is no GPS navigation system, in order to quickly achieve the combat goal, the Tubo soldiers arrested a few Qiang here for interrogation.It might be difficult for Sheng Qiang to understand what the Tubo people were talking about, but judging from their posture, they must have come to find the castle.Anrong City, a huge castle in the Tang Dynasty that blocked the connection between Tubo and the Southwestern Man. Therefore, Sheng Qiang led the Tubo soldiers to Anrong City, expressed his best wishes to Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, and hoped that they could make Anrong City live in peace, stability and happiness as its name suggests.
