With the death of the overlords on the grasslands such as Usumisk Khan, Baimei Khan, Jiediishi Khan, Guli Peiluo and Wuli, the Turks, Basimis, Uighurs and Geluolu The largest tribe on the grassland was seriously injured, and its population and livestock numbers were reduced.
A large number of people were reduced sharply, and the remaining people of these tribes were divided into more than thirty small tribes.
The number of these large and small tribes ranged from no more than a thousand to less than 200.
They were scattered in every corner of the Mobei grassland.
It is also impossible to invade the northern border of Datang.
After using a series of means to kill Basimi, Ge Luolu and Huihe, Zhao Ziliang began to clean up the scattered small tribes in Mobei in a planned way, and planned to start guiding life in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty with favorable conditions The poor people moved to Mobei to herd sheep.
Nowadays, Zhao Ziliang's reputation is booming throughout Mobei.
Due to the series of killings he carried out on the grassland, all the surviving nomadic tribes in Mobei call him the Demon General.
Every time a nomadic herdsman hears this name , all turned pale with fright, trembled all over, and were extremely frightened.
Chang'an, Daming Palace.
Xuanzong was lying on the throne, reading the memorial, and eating lychees that Yang Guifei had peeled.
He felt very comfortable.
Yang Yuhuan liked to eat lychees, so Xuanzong sent people to transport lychees all the way from Lingnan.
Xuanzong didn't pay much attention to the lychees shipped from Lingnan at first.
As an emperor, he had never eaten any fruit.
When Yang Guifei peeled off the skin of the lychee to reveal the crystal clear flesh inside, he couldn't help but move his index finger and eat one.
The taste was indeed extraordinary.
Gradually, he also fell in love with this Lingnan fruit.
At this time, a young eunuch bowed and walked in and saluted: "Your Majesty, your right minister Li Linfu wishes to see you."
"Oh, let him come in," Xuanzong put down the memorial and ink pen he had just reviewed, waved his hand and said.
"Follow the decree" Following the eunuch's announcement, Li Linfu strode into the Zichen Palace, met Xuanzong, and paid homage: "Long live my emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
"My beloved Pingsheng, why do you come to see me today?"
Li Linfu said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Ziliang, the Marquis of Zhenbei, sent eight hundred miles to rush to deliver the good news.
Recently, Zhao Ziliang joined forces with Uighur and Eastern Geluolu to send 30,000 troops to attack Basi Mi, kill Jiedui Shi Khan, and annihilate Basi.
Most of the honey main force is more than 23,000 people, and the rest have fled, so there is no longer any danger."
"Oh, come on, please bring the good news to me."
Xuanzong was overjoyed after reading the victory report and said: "Well, well, last time Zhao Ziliang reported that the Jie Tiao Yishi Khan of the Bashmi tribe has been thinking that he is great since he killed Usumisk Khan and Baimei Khan.
He will not kill me."
In Tang Zang's eyes, there was a lot of disrespect towards me in his words.
I was used to it.
For example, someone wanted to send people to Chang'an to pay tribute, but he did not send an envoy to pay tribute.
He really deserved death.
Zhao Ziliang united with Huihe and Geluolu to attack Basimi, annihilating more than 20,000 people, and only suffered more than a thousand casualties.
People are very good, this method of making tribes in Mobei fight each other is very good."
Li Linfu originally wanted to put some eye drops on Zhao Ziliang in front of Xuanzong, saying that this matter might be a trick that Zhao Ziliang directed and performed.
The purpose was to earn credit and he did not care about the life and death of the soldiers.
But when the words came to his lips, Yang Yuhuan failed.
Right next to Xuanzong, he was still staring at the memorial in his hand with interest.
Now that Xuanzong had read the memorial and set the tone first, he was even more afraid to speak out the words he had prepared earlier.
He had to say one other thing, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing.
The Jiedi Ishi Khan of Bashmi was killed by Peluo, the leader of Uighur.
He has sent envoys to send his heads, and he has sent many of them.
For tribute items, please ask the imperial court for canonization, and your Majesty will make a decision on this matter."
"Well, this bone strength Pei Luo is not bad."
Xuanzong nodded, thought for a while and said: "I see this, I canonize the bone strength Pei Luo as the general of Zuo Xiaowei Yuanwai."

"Follow the decree" General Zuo Xiaowei Yuanwai is a false position, just a title.
This is the case for anyone who adds the word Yuanwai, but the rank is the same as General Zuo Xiaowei.
Three days later, it happened to be the great court meeting.
The emperor came to the court to handle state affairs, and all the civil and military officials entered the palace to see the emperor.
Xuanzong sat on the throne and was worshiped by hundreds of officials and asked: "What do you want to report to me?"
Li Linfu came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Xuanzong spit out one word: "accurate" "Your Majesty, your Majesty's birthday will be in half a month.
Envoys from various countries in Chang'an have gone to Honglu Temple in person to report that they will come to see the emperor and wish your Majesty happiness, longevity and health.
Among them are envoys from Silla Kingdom, Japan's envoy to Tang Dynasty, and Linyi Kingdom.
Envoys, envoys from the Zhenla Kingdom, envoys from the Pyu Kingdom, envoys from the Tianzhu Kingdom, envoys from the Zhaowu Kingdoms, and the ten surnames of the Western Turks Tribal envoys, envoys from the Dashi Kingdom, Chebi envoys, Fulu Kingdom envoys, and even Tubo Kingdom, which is at war with our country, also sent envoys.
After discussion, the ministers and others thought that this was a large scale reception for foreign envoys.
And the scale of the birthday banquet held for His Majesty cannot be too small or too shabby, otherwise it will not be enough to reflect the power and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."
Of course, the emperor's opinion cannot be asked about this kind of matter, it can only be discussed by the ministers.
Even if the emperor wants to do something big in his heart, he is embarrassed to say it, lest the court officials write a letter saying that he is extravagant.
In fact, it doesn't matter if this year's birthday is not celebrated.
Last year was Xuanzong's sixtieth birthday, which was already a big event.
Today is not an integer birthday, so it should be a formality.
However, Li Linfu tried his best to please Xuanzong and misappropriated the money from the treasury.
Spend money carelessly, other His minister heard that he wanted to hold a birthday party for Xuanzong, but it was difficult to say no, so he could only let Li Linfu do it.
Anyway, Zhao Ziliang made a lot of money selling grassland in Mobei this year to the emperor and the court, so it didn't matter if he spent some money. , even the Right Prime Minister Li Shizhi and the Minister of Household Affairs Wang Ju did not object.
When Xuanzong saw that no one below stood up to make irresponsible remarks, he felt a little embarrassed.
He waved his hands and said casually: "I'll leave this matter to you.
Don't be too extravagant and wasteful, and don't let people think that we are big."
The Tang court was too petty.
In short, it should not talk too much, but it should be grand and stylish."
Li Linfu quickly agreed: "I obey the decree."
Xuanzong looked at the ministers in the hall and asked: "Is there anything else to report?"
As soon as I finished asking, I heard a shout from outside the hall: "Shuofang is eight hundred miles away, hurry up!"
The big guys in the court couldn't help but turn their heads and look outside when they heard this.
A Hongling messenger wearing armor and a red tassel on his head quickly ran up the steps holding a round letter bucket, and soon ran into the main hall. .
"Your Majesty, Li Lin, deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedushi and military envoy of Duzhi, has sent an urgent battle report of eight hundred miles."
Xuanzong waved his hand to Gao Lishi: "Please tell me and the courtiers what happened to Shuofang.
This Li Lin actually used eight hundred miles to rush."
The Jiedushi of Shuofang is still Wang Zhongsi, but since Wang Zhongsi is now in charge of the defense of Tibet in Hexi, Li Lin takes over the military and political affairs of Shuofang temporarily.
Moreover, since Huangfu Weiming was sentenced to death, Wang Zhongsi also served as the Jiedushi of Longyou. ,Now Wang Zhongsi was not only the governor of Shuofang, but also the governor of Hedong, Hexi, and Longyou.
He wore four general seals and controlled thousands of miles of territory.
This had never happened since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. , which shows how favored Wang Zhongsi was.
Gao Lishi agreed, stepped down, took the mail bucket from the messenger, opened it, took out the memorial and read it, his face changed greatly while reading.
After reading, he said to Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, Li Lin is in the memorial It is said that Zhao Ziliang, the Marquis of Zhenbei, wanted to unite with the Uighurs and the Eastern Geluolu to eliminate Bashmi.
He deliberately offered as bait that whoever killed Jiediyishi Khan would ask the imperial court to confer him the title of King of Mobei.
Moreover, after wiping out Bashmi, he sowed dissension between Guli Peiluo and Wuli, so that They killed each other, and eventually both of them were injured.
Wu Li was killed and his army was scattered.
Gu Li Pei Luo won a tragic victory, but suffered heavy casualties.
In the end, Zhao Ziliang led his army to use the oriole behind, killing all the Uighur army and their leader Gu Li Pe Luo.
Gu Li Pei Luo's eldest son Mo Yan also fought here was killed.

A few days ago, the widow of Gu Li Pei Luo fled to Xishoujiang City with her young son to find her.
He went to Li Lin to seek asylum, and said that the powerful Pei Luo and Uighurs had surrendered and been loyal to the Tang Dynasty for generations.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the court had orders, and the Uighurs did not respond to orders.
But this time, why did the Tang Dynasty indiscriminately kill loyal ministers and innocent people?
The emperor and the court seek justice for their orphans and widows, Your Majesty, this is the situation."
After Gao Lishi finished speaking the contents of the memorial, the court was in an uproar and the courtiers were in an uproar.
Immediately, a minister stood up and impeached him, "Your Majesty, Zhao Ziliang is really too lawless.
The attack on Basimi is still justified.
After all, he reported in advance and got the permission of Your Majesty and the court.
But this attack on Uihe and the eastern Geluolu If he didn't report the incident without the permission of His Majesty and the imperial court, and if he didn't write a letter to apologize afterwards, he This kind of assertive behavior must not be tolerated lightly, otherwise other border generals will rush to imitate it in the future.
Moreover, Uighur and Eastern Geluolu have always surrendered to our country and maintained friendly relations with our country, but we have no warning.
I will attack them.
If this matter spreads, it will damage the power of the Tang Dynasty.
Please punish Zhao Ziliang severely and never tolerate it."
Another minister stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty's birthday will be in half a month.
If the envoys from various countries know this news, I am afraid that they will question your Majesty about this on your birthday.
How can we explain to these envoys then?"
Explain it” Attacking a friendly country for no reason will inevitably cause a huge diplomatic dispute.
Although the country involved, Huihe and Eastern Geluolu, have been destroyed, the shock to other friendly countries caused by this incident is no less than an earthquake. , Xuanzong and the ministers could already predict that after the envoys from various countries knew about this, they would definitely come to investigate.
"Expedited battle report eight hundred miles north of Momo" Just as the ministers were attacking Zhao Ziliang, another red feather messenger rushed into the hall and shouted.
Xuanzong said to Gao Lishi again: "It seems that Zhao Ziliang sent someone to send it.
Please read it to me and all the ministers again and listen to what Zhao Ziliang has to say."
Gao Lishi agreed, and immediately stepped down and opened Zhao Ziliang's memorial.
After reading it, he said to Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, Zhao Ziliang said in the memorial that the two men, Pei Luo and Wu Li, were destroying Bashmi and dividing the captives, cattle, sheep and Soon after the grassland, they fought for the title of grassland overlord.
The two sides fought fiercely.
In order to frighten the tribes in Mobei, they fought for the title of grassland overlord.
In order to maintain the authority of His Majesty and Datang in Mobei, fulfill the responsibilities of Datang in Mobei, and maintain the peace of Mobei, he had no time to report to the court and Your Majesty.
He said that he would be away, and the emperor's orders were not accepted, so he had to lead the army to quell this incident.
After fighting, I punished the victor Peiro and his Huihe army, and then I apologized to His Majesty and the court, which is roughly like this."
Although the two memorials talked about the same thing, their starting points and emphases were completely opposite.
The former memorial said that Zhao Ziliang engaged in conspiracy, destroyed friendly relations, and caused diplomatic disputes.
The latter memorial said that the responsibility lay entirely with the other party.
He was so It was done to safeguard the authority and interests of the imperial court.
There was a sudden silence in the court.
If you really want to know what happened, I am afraid that someone will be sent to investigate.
However, the results of this investigation will definitely not come in a day or two.
Mobei is thousands of miles away from here, and it will take half a year to go back and forth.
Wait for the investigation Only one year has passed since the end, and the envoys from various countries who do not know the truth will definitely not give the court this time.
Xuanzong weighed in his mind for a long time before he said: "Gao Lishi, here is a decree: Zhao Ziliang will be revoked from all his official positions and ordered to return to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit.
The military and political affairs of Mobei will be handed over to Shan Yu, the Protector of the Prefecture, and Mobei City Advocate Shouyu to act as his agent."
"Follow the decree":
