Chapter 828: Something Happened


Tochar was the most unstable region in the Western Qin.

Before Zhao Ziliang led his troops back to the Central Plains to put down the rebellion, he did not place Tochar under the then Taixi Protectorate, nor did he eradicate the power of the local chiefs.

It was two years after Zhao Ziliang led his troops to return to the Central Plains that Huo Luo included under the Beiting Protectorate, that is, in 757 AD.

This matter was presided over by Liu Tiao, who mainly focused on political appeasement.

Supplemented by military coercion, the Tocharian chieftains were unable to withstand the powerful political and diplomatic offensive of the Beiting Protectorate.

They were also threatened by military force.

After the internal alliance was completely broken, they were gradually recovered by the Beiting Protectorate.

However, their The strength has not been completely lost.

In addition to some guards, especially their own fields, mines, cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock occupy most of the resources in Tochara.

In early November of 761 AD, a large number of officers and soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty from counties and counties in the Tocharian region of the Western Qin Dynasty were dispatched to capture and arrest a large number of former Tocharian chiefs and their guards.

Even their family members were all arrested.

In the prison, the rebellious former Tocharian chiefs and their guards were severely attacked and wiped out.

The complete eradication and disintegration of these original Tocharian chiefs and their strength also made many Tocharian people feel their own crisis.

After all, although these Tocharian chiefs tried to exploit them, they and these Tocharian chiefs The chiefs are members of the same clan, and among the same clansmen Naturally, it is easy to stick together and sympathize.

Under the instigation of some thoughtful people, many Tocharians gathered in front of the government office and demanded the release of the captured Tocharian chiefs and their families, as well as some Tocharians.

He was deceived and rebelled against the rule of the Western Qin Dynasty.

On the ninth day of November, Zhao Ziliang listened to reports from county officials and military generals in the Tocharian region on the attack on the former Tocharian chiefs and their forces.

"Report to your Majesty, all the powerful chiefs and their forces in Yuezhi County will be eradicated."

"Your Majesty, please eradicate all the powerful chiefs and their forces in Shuangquan County."

"Your Majesty, please eradicate all the powerful chiefs and their forces in Yueban County."

"Report to your Majesty, Bird Fei County" "Report to your Majesty, repair Xian County" "Report to the King, write about Feng County" The prefects and garrison generals of more than 20 counties in the Tochar region stood up one after another to report to Zhao Ziliang the results of the progress in fighting against the powerful chiefs and their forces.

After listening to the reports from all the prefects and generals, Zhao Ziliang asked: "How did the Tocharians in various places react to this matter?"

Su Ji, the Protector of the Tocharian Prefecture, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Replying to your Majesty's words, the Tocharian people in various places have different reactions to this.

The Tocharian people in some counties clapped their hands and cheered, while the Tocharian people in some counties turned a blind eye.

There are also Tocharians in some counties who are quite dissatisfied with this matter.

There are also Tocharians in four counties.

The Luo people reacted strongly.

Some of them gathered in front of the governor's house and demanded the release of the captured Tocharian chiefs and their families.

Some Tocharian people were incited by people with ulterior motives and gathered to attack cities, garrison camps and other places.

The government, however, these resisters were wiped out and peacefully pacified.”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Suppressing and quelling the rebellion can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

To cure the root cause, we need to catch Su Ji, the culprit who incited the people to gather in crowds to make trouble and rebel.

Your Protectorate is responsible for this matter."

Su Ji agreed, cupped his hands and said: "I obey my orders."

Zhao Ziliang then said to other governors: "It is normal for the local Tocharian people to have emotions.

Nowadays, the ethnic consciousness of tribes in various places is very strong.

The Tocharian people everywhere may think that after we have dealt with these Tocharian chiefs, will deal with them, so your next official task is to explain clearly to the local Tocharian people, capture and deal with these people These chiefs want to rebel.

Our government will never target the law-abiding people.

Please rest assured.

In addition, the land, cattle, sheep, horses and livestock of each chief will be distributed to the people according to the number of heads.

Both the Han people and the Tocharian people have their share.

In this case, what reason do they have to oppose the government's handling of these powerful chiefs?"

All the prefects raised their hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

At this time, Yang Yuhuan, dressed in Taoist attire, angrily walked into the lobby and shouted: "Zhao Ziliang, what do you want to do?

You have arrested so many tribal chiefs, chiefs and their family members from all over Tochara.

Now many Tocharian people are angry. , there are riots and resistance everywhere, what do you want to do, is this how you govern Western Qin?"

The officials, generals and schools in the lobby all looked at each other and talked incessantly.

No one here knows Yang Yuhuan's true identity, so the officials and generals are quite surprised by the behavior of this female Taoist priest.

She can break into the lobby directly and call Zhao Ziliang by name.

Who is this woman?

The muscles on Zhao Ziliang's face trembled a few times, and he waved his hands and said: "This is the end of the discussion today.

We will continue tomorrow.

It's all over.

Zhao Hu can stay here."

"Nuo" All the officials clasped their fists and handed over their hands and retreated.

Zhao Ziliang waved to Zhao Hu and whispered: "Tell them, no one is allowed to talk about this female Taoist priest, it will rot in their stomachs."

"promise" "Go ahead"

After Zhao Hu left, Yang Yuhuan said angrily: "Zhao Ziliang, you still..."

"Let's go to the inner hall to talk," Zhao Ziliang said, getting up and walking into the inner hall.

Yang Yuhuan followed him angrily.

The two sat down and waited for the attendant to bring tea.

Yang Yuhuan was still furious, "Tell me, why did you do this?

There are nearly 100,000 powerful chiefs, their families, and their attendants, servants and guards from all over the country.

You just can't calm down."

Kill them like this.

What did they do wrong?

You are killing innocent people indiscriminately.

It is natural for you to kill people on the battlefield, but these people are not your enemies.

They are the people under your rule."

Zhao Ziliang sighed: "Yuhuan, you should always remember that you are already a dead person.

Do you really want everyone in the world to know that you are not dead yet and are living well in Xi Qin?"

Yang Yuhuan's face froze: "" Zhao Ziliang continued: "You are a Taoist priest now, so you should practice Taoism well and participate in government affairs.

If you had this heart back then and could always advise the late emperor, the Tang Dynasty would not have declined to the point where it is now.

You should be in charge."

We did not take care of things when we should not take care of them, but we stepped forward when we should not have taken care of them.

Naturally, we have our own reasons for doing so.

It is definitely not a decision made in the heat of the moment, but after careful consideration.

Also, since you are already a monk, you don’t How can I explain to the officials and generals why people in power often cannot tolerate monks?

Because they are monks on the surface, but in fact they are still attached to power and power in their hearts.

With prosperity and wealth, many people in the ruling class are believers who want to reach out to the powerful and influence the political situation.

They themselves are not engaged in production, but they occupy a large amount of land and money."

Yang Yuhuan originally felt that she was indeed in the wrong, but Zhao Ziliang's last words made her quite angry, "What do you mean now that I am greedy for power and want to interfere in the military and political affairs of Western Qin?"

Zhao Ziliang said quickly: "No, I don't mean that.

What I mean is that you just need to recite your Taoist canon and learn your medical skills.

Don't care about other things, especially military and political affairs."

Yang Yuhuan was very dissatisfied with Zhao Ziliang's attitude, and got up and left unhappily.

The next day, Zhao Ziliang was inspecting the military affairs of the Sixth Army.

Wang Can rushed over and reported: "Your Majesty, something happened to the third prince and the envoy."

Zhao Ziliang's face froze and his expression changed: "What happened?"

"The third prince arrived at Samandar, the capital of the Khazar Khanate, one month after setting off with the envoy.

However, the Khazar Khanate refused to admit that they were responsible for the robbery of the caravan, nor did they agree to contribute to safeguarding the Silk Road.

The third prince originally wanted to bribe some Khazar tribes and get them to support and promise to maintain the security of the Silk Road, but this matter was blocked by the Khan of the Khazar Khanate.

Bihar found out, and Bihar ordered the arrest of the third prince and everyone in the mission.

Of course, the third prince was unwilling to surrender and led the mission's guards to break out of the siege.

However, after escaping for a while, the horses were exhausted and died.

Being overtaken, the Khazars lost more than 2,000 people and killed more than 200 people in the mission.

The third prince killed more than 300 people and was captured due to exhaustion."

Zhao Ziliang's face gradually turned cold, "What did they do to the third child?"

Wang Can bowed and said: "According to the detailed reports, Bihar originally wanted to kill the third prince, but was dissuaded by the tribal leaders and was temporarily imprisoned in Habier's winter residence, Itir."

Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and asked: "Can we try to rescue him?"

Wang Can clasped his fists and said: "After receiving the news, the general immediately issued an order and asked the agents to try to rescue them.

However, the Khazars are very tight at this stage and the possibility of a successful rescue is unlikely.

After the news passes, we can The Sa people are more relaxed, and if they try to rescue again, the chance of success will be much greater.

This is what the general thinks.

Sending people to rescue now will not only let the rescuers die, but will also arouse the vigilance of the Khazar people and let them know the true identity of the third prince.

So on the one hand, we must be patient, and on the other hand, we must send Hosaku, keep an eye on the Third Prince and don’t let the Third Prince’s life be threatened.”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a long time and said: "What you said makes sense, let's do it like this.

Don't let the rescuers do it.

They only need to be responsible for keeping an eye on the safety of the third child and rescuing the third child.

I will send someone else to do it."

Do it.”

A personal guard stood up and said, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Let Shiba come and see me" "promise" Xuan Shiba quickly rushed over, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, you are looking for me."

Zhao Ziliang gave an overview of the situation and finally said: "Send a team of Tiger Tooth Army to sneak into the Khazar Khanate and wait for an opportunity to rescue the third child.

Wang Can's people will cooperate with your people.

You two can discuss how to contact each other."

"promise":
