Chapter 587 Shangguo Conspiracy 7 Mo Yansi was forced to abdicate, and the leaders of the thirteen Hui tribes were taken captive by the Tang army to Lingwu, and they were also sent to Chang'an as hostages, which caused a lot of waves in the Hui army, and it was not as calm as it appeared.
Ye Hu was holding the Khan's golden knife when he joined the army at that time, and there were still more than ten henchmen under the command of Gu Lulu and generals loyal to the second prince who moved to build a place to rebound, questioning the legitimacy of Ye Hu's Khan's position, and at the same time clamoring to lead the army to attack Lingwu and rescue Mo Yansi and others.
Even Kong Sheng didn't expect that at such a critical moment, Ye Hu would actually show his ruthless side of turning the tide and being the main force.
Ye Hu did not clash with these generals in person, but complied with their calls, agreed to formally declare war on the Tang Dynasty, and led a large army to attack Lingwu, and he promised that as long as he rescued Mo Yan Si and Gu Lu and others, he would immediately return the position of Khan.
Confused, these militant Hui generals returned to their respective camps to purge their troops and prepare to raise troops to force Lingwu, but at this moment, Ye Hu secretly connected with the Hui generals who had made friends with him, and at the oath ceremony in the early morning of the next day, he suddenly attacked, and personally led hundreds of protectors to surround the Khan's big tent by thunderous means, and in less than a cup of tea, he decisively killed a Hui general who opposed his ascension to the throne of the Hui monarch.
Immediately, Ye Hu led 5,000 of his cronies to protect the army, struck while the iron was hot, and killed all the middle and lower-level officers in the Hui army who were loyal to Gu Lu and Yi Di Jian, even the female slaves and servants in the Gu Lu camp.
Ye Hu's ruthlessness and iron fist made the Hui generals and soldiers fearful.
Especially in the current situation of no leader, most of the Hui magnates were taken away by the Tang army, and Ye Hu, as the crown prince and the rightful successor khan, quickly cleared the civil strife and stabilized the situation through iron-blooded means.
Ye Hu arranged for his cronies to also lead the main army of the Hui to withdraw from Mobei in advance, after all, the leaders of the Hui tribes were taken hostage in Chang'an by the Tang Dynasty, if the news came back to the Hui Hui, there would definitely be civil strife in the hearts of the people, and he needed to lead the army to suppress the domestic situation.
As long as he and Kong Sheng complete the alliance ceremony two days later, he will immediately return to Mobei Yatent and personally control and stabilize the domestic situation in Hui.
When the morning sun slowly rose, swept past the tall and vicissitudes of the city walls of Lingwu City, and jumped into the sky and clouds, Ye Hu led the five thousand guards to arrive outside Lingwu City.
The gate of Lingwu City was opened, and after a while, Kong Shengguan walked neatly with Lin Yong, the governor of Lingwu, and led the Lingwu civil and military people out of the city to welcome the Hui Khan Ye Hu.
The five thousand Hui soldiers were lined up neatly, and Ye Hu stood alone in front of the formation wearing armor and holding a spear, which was also majestic.
Compared to the vast majority of Hui generals who wielded scimitars, Ye Hu, who wielded spears, was a bit different.
This is probably one of the characteristics of his pro-Tang and Tang cultural influence.
Kong Sheng's profound gaze was projected over, and seeing that the Hui army array behind Ye Hu was orderly and silent, he couldn't help but nod secretly, he underestimated Ye Hu, but he didn't expect that after inheriting the throne, there would be no majesty of the superior.
Kong Sheng is still familiar to the Hui people, the white-clothed bright armor under the crotch chasing the wind and the divine horse holding the Fang Tian painting halberd, he urged the horse forward, and said loudly on the horse: "Tang Chang'an Hou, Shence General, His Majesty the Tang Emperor ordered the Lingwu military and political general envoy Kong Sheng, to welcome the Hui Ye Hu Khan is late, and please forgive the Khan."
Behind Kong Sheng, Lin Yong and other Lingwu civil and military generals bowed down on their horses, and said in unison: "I have seen the Hui Ye Hu Khan in the inferior class."
Kong Sheng gave Ye Hu quite high political courtesy.
The more he was in front of the Hui soldiers, the more he had to give Ye Hu face in order to consolidate his authority.
And Ye Hu's control of power in China is beneficial and harmless to Datang.
Ye Hu has lived in the Tang Dynasty for many years, is deeply influenced by the Tang culture, and has a different kind of feelings for the Tang Dynasty in terms of emotion and sense of belonging.
And Kong Sheng actually has deeper considerations.
As the Hui were influenced by the Tang Dynasty deepened, Kong Sheng would gradually suggest that the Tang Dynasty set up an institution similar to the Western Regions Governor's Mansion in the Hui Dynasty, first to garrison the army, and then to realize the integration of military and government, and gradually encroach and assimilate the Hui until the Hui was accepted as a part of the Tang Dynasty and accepted the management and control of the imperial court.
Of course, that's another story.
Ye Hu saw Kong Sheng and the generals of the Tang Dynasty so courteous, his heart was excited, and the ambition and pride of the first Khan immediately rushed to his whole body, and he hugged his fists to Kong Sheng and saluted in return: "Ben Khan came at the invitation of the general, and today should be the grand ceremony of the alliance between me and the Tang Dynasty."
Kong Sheng laughed, rode over, and stood side by side with Ye Hu, the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was raised high, and he shouted: "Fire" As soon as he finished speaking, ten cannons lined up on one side of the city gate were fired at the same time, and ten shining flames streaked through the air and fell far above the wilderness, making an earth-shaking sound, and the smoke and dust were all over the sky.
The Tang sergeants were in high spirits, raising their arms in unison and shouting "Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live His Majesty the Emperor", and the shouts shook the sky and the momentum was extraordinary.
But in the Hui army array, there were exclamations one after another, many Hui soldiers have already suffered from the Tang army's artillery, and the prestige of the Tang Dynasty's invincible general cannon has already made every Hui person frightened.
Today's artillery firing is certainly a salute, but it creates not just a celebratory atmosphere, but also a deeper deterrent.
A trace of awe flashed in Ye Hu's eyes.
Kong Sheng's meaningful eyes swept over the Hui generals, and he shouted loudly: "Shangxiang Xuan Tang Emperor's edict" In front of the incense table that had already been set up, Lin Yong immediately stepped forward and personally offered incense.
After that, Lin Yong, on behalf of the Tang Dynasty officials, slowly announced the emperor's edict on the friendly alliance between the Tang Dynasty and the Hui Dynasty, and the alliance ceremony entered the final link, and Kong Sheng and Ye Hu jointly unveiled the newly built Huimeng monument standing in the northwest outside Lingwu City.
"Khan, please," Kong Sheng arched.
Ye Hu smiled slightly: "General, please" The two walked side by side, grabbed the red silk covering the monument of the Huimeng, and smiled at each other.
The monument of the alliance is about three zhang high, about three feet wide, the pedestal is square, and the monument itself is not much different from the ordinary monument, but the front and back sides of the monument, respectively, in Chinese and Hui script to write the edict of the Tang Emperor and the edict of the Hui Khan, it is recorded that the Tang Dynasty Chang'an Hou Kong Sheng and the Hui Ye Hu Khan will be allied outside the Lingwu City, the two countries should always be the state of monarchs and ministers, friendly for all eternity, Yunyun.
After the unveiling, Ye Hu walked around the Huimeng monument twice, and then sighed: "General, from today on, Hui and Datang will always be the state of monarchs and ministers, if you violate the oath, people and gods will destroy Ben Khan in the same year to visit His Majesty the Emperor, and I also hope that the Tang Dynasty can give me some assistance to Hui Hui, open up trade between the two countries, and trade at the border." ”oshow7 t1706231537:
