The Golden Age Chapter 529: Wuchuan Tantai
Yun Lu was slightly surprised. He obviously felt that as Qin Xiao, he didn't know the origin of Tantai Suspension Night.
Dantai Xuanye has a deep friendship with General Heiyu. As the night crow under General Heiyu, Qin Xiao should know Dantai Xuanye very well.
He was puzzled, but since Qin Xiao asked, he didn't dare not answer, he rationalized his thoughts, and said: "Master Qin naturally knows that Tantai Xuanye was at the northern guard border, and his father Tantai Poqian was General Wuchuan Zhenwei, who has been stationed in Wuchuan for more than ten years, is also a brave warrior under the command of the old general Taishi."
Qin Xiao naturally knew that the old general of Taishi was Taishihong, the father of Taishi Cunxu.
Tai Shihong is not a descendant of the sixteen gods who found the country. The Taishi family has temporarily emerged since the Wuzong dynasty of Tang Dynasty and made great contributions to the empire. By the time Tai Shihong, he had become an indispensable general in the north. Obtained the respect of the first emperor Dezong.
The Tusun people in the north have always been a threat to the northern border of the empire since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.
Although the Tusun tribes conquered each other and did not form a strong cohesive force, they are far from being able to compete with Datang in terms of strength, and even the khan of many tribes have been admiring the Tang Dynasty, but the various tribes of Tusun have harassed the northern border of Datang I have never stopped, often plundering property and looting people at the border, and the Tusun cavalry is extremely fast, and each attack is sudden, and after the looting, they retreat quickly, which can be described as coming and going like wind.
The northern line of defense is too long. Even if a hundred thousand army builds a line of defense, the Tusun people can still find opportunities in the northern line of defense.
At the beginning of the founding of the nation, the empire was powerful and powerful, and the Tusun people still had some scruples. They fled in embarrassment when they saw the banner of Datang.
But after Emperor Wuzong's heyday, the military strategy began to change from active offensive to defensive. The Tusun people's attack at the border became even more harassed. The empire used a lot of manpower and material resources at one time, but it was still disturbed by the Tusun people's invasion. The border is not peaceful.
After Tai Shihong was in the northern border, he recharged and suddenly organized a large army to divide into three groups and marched into the Monan grassland. Although two of them returned without success, Tai Shihong’s commander Huaishozhen army The results of the battle were fruitful, killing thousands of Tusun cavalry, capturing a large number of cattle, horses, livestock and Tusun people, and Megatron Desert.
Since then, Tai Shihong launched several consecutive raids on the grasslands, each time he achieved fruitful results. For a time, the Tusun people saw the Datang banner and were frightened, and Tai Shihong became the pillar of the northern empire.
The prestige of the old general of Taishi is well known all over the world, but Qin Xiao, the name of Tantai Poqian, has never heard of it.
"In the year when the saints became king, Tusun’s various ministries gathered 100,000 troops and went south." Yunlu was very clear about what happened that year: “Tusun’s main attack on Wuchuan Town must tear the mouth from Wuchuan Town. Wuchuan 20,000 The town army resisted desperately and was outnumbered, and the old general Taishi did not mobilize troops and horses to reinforce Wuchuan. Instead, he used the time the Wuchuan town army had won to gather other soldiers and horses to retreat to the Yanmen to build a line of defense and seal the Tusun cavalry from attacking Kyoto. The road also caused heavy losses to the Wuchuan Town Army, and the thousands of troops in Tantai died in battle."
Qin Xiao knew that the world was turbulent in the year when the saint was enthroned, and there were internal and external troubles. The Tusun cavalry went south, but they were eventually repelled. It was just the process, but it was not clear.
"Later, they repelled the Tusun people, but the Wuchuan Zhenjun has hated Taishijia since then." Yunlu sighed: "With them
In his heart, the old general Taishi couldn't save him, and abandoned them to the Tusun people. To this day, the Wuchuan Zhenjun still has a heart for this past year. After Tantai died in a battle, Tantai Xuanye was still in Wuchuan Town to defend the country. His father was killed by the Tusun people, so Tantai Xuanye hated the Tusun people. This man is brave and good at fighting. He is rare in martial arts. He often leads small groups of cavalry into the grassland. When he was twenty-six years old, he took only three hundred cavalry and circled the grassland for thousands of miles. When they returned to Wuchuan Town, He even brought back thousands of Tusun heads, and beheaded the heads of three tribal chiefs, 300 Qingqi lost less than 20 people, and was famous for a while. "
Qin Xiao's heart was embarrassed, Yunlu said only a few words, but he led 300 Qingqi around the prairie, the hardship was unimaginable, and one was careless, and 300 Qingqi was like a person who sent him to his residence. The lamb was killed by the Tusun people.
But Tantai Xuanye can not only kill the Tusun people several times larger than himself, but can even retreat with his subordinate Qingqi all over, which is almost a miracle.
"That was nine years ago." Yun Lu thought for a while before continuing: "He made such a military exploit, and the saint called him to Beijing to meet him. After meeting him, he stayed in Kyoto and incorporated After the Dragon Scale Guard Camp, he was named Dragon Scale Lieutenant. The lord’s current house is the residence given by the saint when Tantai Xuanye served as the Dragon Scale Lieutenant. He lived here for four years in the Dragon Scale Guard. After staying in the camp for four years, the saint led him as the commander of the Longling Guard, and the garrison of the imperial city was handed over to him. It was really the emperor's grace."
Qin Xiao wanted to go to the prairie at Tantai Xuanye Qingqi, only this one battle was enough to establish a powerful army in the army, and the saint was highly regarded, and it was not surprising that he handed over the role of guarding the imperial city to him. .
"The commander of Tantai University was summoned by the sage, and he began to grow. Now he has become the most respected and trusted general of the sage." Yunlu smiled affectionately: "Master Qin is walking the same path as the leader of Tantai. After being summoned, I was appreciated, and I was also given to this house. I will definitely be promoted and reused by the saint in the future. I now congratulate Master Qin."
Qin Xiao smiled faintly, and said: "Master Yun came over today, just want to tell me this?"
"This...!" Yun Lu's expression became awkward, he hesitated, and then said: "Master Qin, cleaning the courtyard in your house and taking care of the horses requires manpower. I just bought a few girls over there. If the adults don’t dislike it, I will send them to wait upon me after I go back."
Qin Xiao knows that high-ranking officials and nobles will buy slaves in their homes, but all the slaves who have a bargaining agreement become private property, which can be given to each other like goods.
He came from the bottom, knowing that if it were not forcing him, no one would sell his sons, daughters, or slaves, and he was very disgusted with that.
Qin Xiao calmly shook his head and smiled: "Master Yun is polite. If you want to hire someone to help in the house, I will look back and see it again. I am not in a hurry." He stood up and said, "Master Yun, I haven't If you move here, you can’t have tea or keep you for dinner. After Dali Temple is cleaned up, everything will settle down. If there is a chance, Master Yun will come over for a drink."
"Master Qin, in fact...actually, I came here today to talk to you about the purge of Dali Temple." Yunlu saw that Qin Xiao seemed to have an order to expel guests, and hurriedly got up and said: "Take the liberty to ask an adult. , I don’t know this time... I don’t know how many officials will be removed?"
"It's not me alone." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "I'm reviewing the files of officials in Yamen for the past two days, and I will discuss with Master Su later." Looking at Yunlu, he asked: "Master Yun, what do you think?"
Yun Lu hesitated for a while, and finally smiled bitterly: "Master Qin, that day...I was anxious and offended that day, so don't take it seriously."
"Offensive?" Qin Xiao asked surprised: "When did Master Yun offend me?"
Seeing Qin Xiao's appearance, Yun Lu was even more flustered and said hurriedly: "Master Qin, I have been in Dali Temple for many years. It is inevitable that there will be some negligence, you... I have one chance, don’t...don’t drive me out of Dali Temple too."
"Master Yun is worried that I will remove your official position?" Qin Xiao sighed: "It is true that since the saint has made an order to reorganize the Dali Temple, apart from me and Hall Su, I really cannot guarantee who can Stay. Master Yun doesn't need to think too much, whether to go or stay, you will be able to see the difference in a few days."
Qin Xiaoyue said this, and Yun Lu felt more fierce than auspicious, and almost cried: "Master Qin, please raise your hand high, I...!" He stepped forward, looked around, and was sure there was nothing. The empress suddenly took out a few silver slips from his sleeves and stuffed them into Qin Xiao's hands: "This is my little care. If... If I can stay in Dali Temple, I will definitely be in the same mind with Master Qin in the future. Virtue, Master Qin, if you have any instructions, Yun Mou will go up to the sword and go down to the sea of flames."
Qin Xiao only felt that these words were very familiar. Zheng Feixin of Dali Temple seemed to have said the same before, but he pushed back the bank note in a calm manner, and sighed: "If Master Yun wants to be like this, he will be known. Not only can you not stay in Dali Temple, I am afraid I have nothing to eat."
"Yunmou is confused." Yunlu sweats on his forehead.
Qin Xiao thought for a while, then said: "Master Yun, if you want to stay in Dali Temple, naturally you have to be able. I really have one thing I want to trouble Master Yun to do. If Master Yun can do it well, I can guarantee Yun The adult’s position in Dali Temple is as firm as a rock, no one can move."
Yun Lu hurriedly said: "Master Qin has any instructions. Despite the instructions, Yun must do his best to do it well."
"You don't have to go up to the sword and go down to the sea of fire." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Sit down and talk." After taking a seat, he said: "Master Yun has heard of the name Yuwen Huaiqian?"
Yun Lu thought for a while, and hurriedly said: "I know, he is a foreigner, a member of the staff, a hostage sent to Kyoto from Xiling Yuwen's family back then. He and I have also met each other, but we haven't spoken, let alone friendship. "Think of something, and immediately said: "By the way, I heard that the few hostages sent to Kyoto by Xiling have all been imprisoned in Kyoto Prefecture. I have never heard of interrogation. Are they still in Kyoto Prefecture? I'm really not sure. Master Qin, why did you mention this person?"
"Yuwen Huaiqian is still imprisoned in Kyoto Prefecture." Qin Xiao said sternly: "Xiling rebellion, the situation was chaotic at the time, the court did nothing wrong to prevent these hostages from taking the opportunity to escape and imprisoning them. But now things are already happening. Ming Lang, the three surnames of Xiling, the Zhen family and the Fan family indeed have a rebellious heart. Whether the hostages of these two families are locked or killed is determined by the court, but the Yuwen family is loyal to the emperor and serves the country. There is no rebellious heart. Yuwen Huaiqian It's from Yuwen's family, I think it should be released too."
