Chapter 3280: The Way to Control the Hu
Seeing that the Turks were being hunted like lost dogs, they rushed into the formation forcefully, vomiting, eyes splitting, frightened and angry, waving their scimitars and shouting loudly to urge the tribesmen: "Hold on! Hold on! We will do it." Even if we all die in this battle, we cannot let the Turks break through, otherwise our wives, children, children, will all be slaughtered!”
He knew very well that with the fighting power of these elite Turks in front of him, once they broke into the formation, the Huihe people would have no choice but to kill them at their necks. Only by keeping them out of the formation could they attack from both sides with the Tang army that followed. , completely annihilating the Turks.
The Uighur people also knew that they must not let the Turks escape today, so they boosted their morale and resisted the Turks' offensive without fear of death.
The two sides started a bloody and cruel strangulation in the small area of Alagou Mouth. In a moment, the dead and wounded were everywhere, and blood flowed into rivers.
Although the Uighurs have become the elite of the Turks, they also have a tenacious and brave style. At this moment, they burst out with extremely strong fighting power with a determination to die, and they were able to withstand the surprise attack of the Turks.
Ashina Helu could hear Tumidu's shouts from a distance, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He wished he could fly over with wings and shoot this traitor in the head!
He did not think that he asked the Uighurs to guard the mouth of the ditch because he wanted to win the Uighurs to his side in the future to fight against the Yibi Shekui Khan. Instead, he felt that I was considerate of you Uighurs, so I treated you kindly and did not need you to charge into the battle and die in vain. As a result, the Uighurs But he was ungrateful and stabbed him in the back. It was an unforgivable crime. Even if he was cut to pieces with a thousand cuts, he would not be able to erase the hatred in his heart!
Looking back, I saw that my rear formation was in complete chaos and was being smashed to pieces by the enemy. I became increasingly worried and shouted: "Charge over! Charge over!"
He led his own soldiers and continued to rush forward.
After killing for a while, a soldier next to him suddenly looked back, and then while Ashina Helu chopped down a Huihe man, he loudly said: "General, it seems that the ones chasing after you are not the Tang army?"
The Turks and the Tang Dynasty have been at war for years. Even though the Tang Dynasty has now included Mobei in its territory, the Turks have never truly surrendered.
After so many years of fighting, the two sides knew each other very well. The pursuers behind them were very different from the Tang army in terms of formation style and military uniforms. Even ordinary Turkic soldiers could be easily distinguished.
It's just that I was just focused on escaping in the panic and didn't pay attention to these details. I just noticed it now...
Ashina Helu was stunned for a moment, slowed down slightly, and let the soldiers behind him rush forward, while he took a breath and then looked back.
Wait until you see the unique-shaped shield with a face shield, and the distinctive scimitar and buckler...
Ashina Helu couldn't turn his head around and felt that he was a little awkward - wasn't this an Arab cavalry? !
Although the Arabs have marched straight into the Western Region since they invaded, the Western Region is too vast. Until now, the Arabs have only advanced to the front line of Gongyue City and are confronting the Anxi Army. Not only is this place hundreds of miles away from Gongyue City, but more importantly, it is separated by the Yili River and the towering Tianshan Mountains. How did they get here all the way around the city pass where the Tang Army was stationed?
The most incredible thing is that the Arabs are at war with the Tang Dynasty!
Why did the Arab cavalry help the Youtun guards attack themselves?
At this moment, Ashinahelu, who has always been known for his resourcefulness, was confused in the wind and snow. He neither expected that the Uighurs would turn back and stab him in the back, nor could he figure out how the Arabs appeared here. Helping Youtunwei to chase him...
What's going on? !
*****
On the mountain ridge on one side of Alagou.
The 20,000 soldiers of Youtun Guards have been assembled, their swords are unsheathed, their arrows are unstrung, their thunderbolts are hanging on their waists, their muskets have been loaded, and their lineup is full of murderous intent. They are just waiting for an order to climb over the ridge in front of them and rush in. In the ravine on the other side, the enemy invaders were killed.
The scouts kept coming and going, constantly passing back news from Alagou.
Fang Jun stood under a towering spruce with a knife on his waist. His face was stern and his eyes were blazing. The wind and snow were blowing violently, and the cloak was blowing, but it could not shake his body in the slightest.
Yuan Ting Yue Zhi, majestic and majestic.
Even though the shouts of killing continued to be heard vaguely from the other side of the ravine, his expression did not change at all.
As the scouts learned, the situation in Alagou gradually became clear: the Turks entered the camp, and when they found that there was no Tang army, they knew they had fallen into the trap and retreated quickly; the Arabs arrived just in time and pursued them non-stop; the Turks retreated , only to find that the Uighurs turned against the enemy and blocked the mouth of the ditch. They were trying to conflict with the Uighurs' positions and escape from Alagou...
Then came the news that the Uighurs were engaged in a bitter battle, gradually unable to withstand the Turks' charge, and that the array was about to collapse.
Pei Xingjian waited for a long time, and when he saw that Fang Jun was still unmoved, he felt a little anxious and asked: "Commander, if we wait a little longer, the Uighurs will not be able to resist. When the Turks break out, they will try to capture them." It will be difficult to catch up. ”
The Turks were not only born and raised on horses, but they were also very talented in riding, and their horse-managing skills were unparalleled in the world.
A vast and vast place like the Western Regions is a good place for galloping. As long as they leave Alagou, for the Turks, the sea is vast for fish to leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly. No one can catch up.
Fang Jun glanced at Pei Xingjian and said: "Whenever something big happens, you have to be careful. Why is there such a rush? Besides, even if we kill them now, we will definitely fall behind the Arabs. When the time comes, the Arabs will find that their retreat is cut off. How can they bother to chase after them?" Kill the Turks? They will definitely turn around and fight with us. No one will pursue the Turks. Ashinahelu will attack the Uighurs' positions even more, and the Uighurs will be even more unstoppable."
Pei Xingjian said anxiously: "Now that the Uighurs have formed an alliance with us, if we sit back and do nothing, the Uighurs will surely suffer heavy casualties and have deep resentment towards the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, once the Turks rush out, they will definitely vent their anger on the Uighurs when they return to the north of the Tianshan Mountains. Turkic Human cruelty will lead to massacres. The Uighurs not only hate the Turks, but also hate the treacherous Tang Dynasty! Not to mention that the Huihe people have become disloyal and have learned from this experience. How can the Hu people dare to join the Tang Dynasty in the future? "
For the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs were a benchmark. As long as the Uighurs successfully annexed the Tang Dynasty, the rest of the Hu tribes in the Western Regions would inevitably follow suit. This was extremely important for the Tang Dynasty to completely control the Western Regions.
Fang Jun smiled and asked: "In your opinion, if we risk our lives to save the Uighurs at this moment, the Uighurs will be loyal to the Tang Dynasty and never betray them?"
"Uh..."
Pei Xingjian was speechless.
How is it possible? As the saying goes, "Those who are not of our race must have different hearts." The reason why the Uighurs agreed to annex the Tang Dynasty now is because they cannot bear the enslavement of the Turks. Furthermore, Fang Jun also promised to give the Uighurs a piece of land free from disputes with the world. Allow it to thrive.
In the future, whether the Tang Dynasty is weak or the Uighurs are strong, wars between the two ethnic groups will still break out. This is caused by the conflict of basic interests between the two ethnic groups...
The reason why he suggested that Fang Jun send troops to join the war as soon as possible was just to follow the inertia of past thinking. Confucianism pays attention to "the name is right and the words are right". If we ignore Huihe at this time, we will lose our morality and credibility. It is understandable that the Hu people do not understand the righteousness of the saints and do such treacherous things. But if the Han family does not follow morality, how are they different from the Hu people?
Where do we place the teachings of the saints?
In short, "I would rather the world fail me than I would let the world fail"...
Fang Jun naturally understood the thoughts in the minds of these people who had read Confucian poetry and books. In his opinion, it was unnecessary. For the false reputation of this so-called "state of etiquette", the Chinese nation had suffered so much and been deceived. In the end, no one ever praised "Chinese people are very particular"?
Most people will just cheer: "You are stupid, you have a lot of money, come quickly"...
Fang Jun couldn't help but teach Pei Xingjian: "The Yi and Di are not of my race, their minds must be different, strong will be bandits, weak and humble, and have no regard for kindness, such is their nature. The barbarians are like animals, fearing power but not caring about it. Virtue, how can they know etiquette, justice, integrity and shame if they have never read history books? Therefore, we must not treat these uncivilized barbarians with a gentleman's attitude, but use force to punish them. Therefore, strict laws must force them to bow down, and then they can be taught morality and etiquette to make them assimilate. Otherwise, if you try to conquer the Yi Di with your own heart, you will just repeat the mistakes of Dongguo. Not only will you fail to subdue the Yi Di, you will also be subject to them. The harm of backlash. Therefore, the way to govern a country is just eight words: 'Virtue is used to soften China, and punishment is used to threaten foreign countries'!"
What kind of "benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust" are important to the Yi, Di and Hu people? This is as bullshit as talking about love with a beast. It's a conversation between chickens and ducks, no longer on the same channel.
To deal with Yi Di, you have to use a carrot in one hand and a big stick in the other. First, beat them painfully and cripple them, and then feed them a mouthful of food. They will wag their tails and beg for mercy from you; if you feel sorry for them because they are hungry and cold, you will hold them in your arms and give them meat. Eat, it will bite you first...(End of Chapter)
