Chapter 23 Kindness, that's a saint's business
Pei Min's face was slightly dark when he heard this.
Along the way, he received a lot of news from the front line.
To be honest, at the beginning, Arabs attacked heavily and the soldiers surrounded Tuozhecheng, and Pei Min was still quite panicked.
Arabs have ambitions but no intentions, and they hit the Western Regions' fatal point.
Once there is a loss in the Western Regions and it will be difficult to retake it.
But later the news kept coming, and Pei Min felt relieved.
The more critical the time is, the more it can reflect the value of famous generals.
Although Pei Min got the true teachings of Li Jing, Su Dingfang, Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui, and his military standards were outstanding. But how could he take care of everything tens of thousands of miles away?
At this time, local self-coping ability becomes particularly important.
Famous generals such as Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi, and Wang Zhongsi, relying on their own abilities to forcibly stabilize the situation in adversity, preventing the disadvantages of the Western Regions from expanding, and calming Pei Min's heart.
This time, Arabia had two killer moves. One was to trap the kings of the Western Regions in Tuozhe City, and the other was to secretly prepare nearly 10,000 troops to attack Gaochang Cang.
The former is an Arab skill, while the latter is a betrayal.
Like the Uighurs, Gelu was chosen by Pei Min to deal with Tuqishi and stabilize the Western Regions.
Judging from the effect, it is obviously good.
Under the pressure of Geluo, Tuqishi's strength has now been greatly damaged, and their strength has naturally increased.
However, Pei Min's support for Geluo was not strong. Geluo was not as strong as the Uighurs, and his strength soared and became the local overlord.
Because the Western Regions are not as good as the North.
Pei Min supported the Uighurs because he was confident enough to suppress him and had no choice but to escape. However, Gelu was located in the Western Regions. If he was raised and he threw himself into the arms of Arabs, he would be stupid.
Pei Min won't do this stupid thing.
But even so, without Pei Min's support, Ge Luolu would not have the strength he is today.
The Gelu Huyan tribe actually bribed Arabs and joined forces with horse thieves to attack Gaochang Cang, which was not easy to slap Pei Min in the face.
"Let's go and meet Asunashi and see how he apologizes!"
Pei Min walked first.
Cui Xiyi followed behind.
When he arrived at Gaochang Prefecture, Pei Min sat down to serve tea.
Cui Xiyi asked someone to inform Ashinashi.
Ashin Shin Shi was a man with a rough appearance. Compared with his original tyranny, his sharpness was much less, and replaced by a kind of calmness of a superior.
From the leader of a small tribe to the leader of a large tribe with more than 300,000 people and 80,000 powerful soldiers, Ashin Shi has obviously completed a transformation in ability.
During this meeting, Ashinashi knelt down: "The criminal Ashinashi apologized to the prince and His Majesty!"
He kowtowed three times, strong and solemn, and red scars appeared on his forehead.
Pei Min didn't let him get up, but still let him kneel.
With his current identity, he can bear Ashin's kneeling.
"Did the court owe you some of the past few years?"
Pei Min's voice was hard, making people full of anger when they heard it.
Ashin could not help but feel scared in his heart, and he felt inexplicably fearful.
It is not why the pressure from this famous Prince Pei in front of him was even greater than that of Li Longji, who had seen him in Chang'an in the past.
"No, Prince, Your Majesty is so kind to us. It is really the idea of Hu Yanze, the beast. He made the pork heart, and he betrayed me and put me Geluo into a treacherous position. Prince, Prince, I, Ashinashi, are willing to use my left ear to swear to the heavenly kingdom, and have no rebellion."
As he said, he suddenly pulled out the scimitar on his waist and cut off one of his ears with one knife.
The bright red blood flowed down her cheeks, and Ashin Shin's face was determined, with a very demeanor of Qibing Heli back then.
Qibi Heli was the three most famous alien generals in the early Tang Dynasty. He was from the Qibi tribe of the Tiele tribe. He led his troops to attack Tuyuhun, pacify Gaochang, defeat Kucha, Xueyantuo, and Western Turks, appease the nine surnames of Tiele, and destroy Goguryeo. He was a brilliant military achievement.
The most familiar thing is to cut off your ears and show your ambitions and swear not to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.
In the past, Emperor Taizong of Tang sent Qi Heli to Liangzhou to visit his relatives and was able to appease his tribe.
However, the tribe members of the Qiebi tribe captured Qiebiheli and tied it up and sent it to Xueyantuo, and threw it in front of the tent of the Zhenzhu Khan Yishunan.
Yi Shiyi Nan advised Qi Bi Heli to surrender. Qi Bi Heli pulled out his sword and shouted eastward: "How could there be a loyal and martyr in the Tang Dynasty who were surrendered to the court, and the heaven, earth, sun and moon, I wish to know my heart."
He cut off his ear with one knife to show his unyielding power.
Ashin Shi obviously followed this example.
Cui Xiyi looked moved. As an orthodox literati, he firmly believed in the truth that his body and hair were accepted by his parents.
Ashin Shi shocked him with this move.
Pei Min disagreed, but could not remain indifferent and said, "What's wrong with the governor? I don't doubt your loyalty, but it is undeniable that it is your Geluo problem, and it is also your people who join forces with the horse thieves to attack and kill our dynasty's granary. The governor should give me an explanation."
Ashin said angrily: "This is natural. I have captured the traitor and are outside. Let the prince deal with it. If you want to kill and cut it, you will listen to the emperor. I, Ashin, will never say anything."
Pei Min also saw from this that Ashin Shi really had nothing to do with this matter.
If Hu Yanze dies, there will be suspicion of killing people to silence him, but the pleasure of Ashin Shi handing him over is enough to prove that he has a clear conscience here.
Of course, this is also related to interests. Ashin Shin’s ability today depends entirely on the support of the Tang Dynasty.
Ashin Shi had no reason to betray the Tang Dynasty because of a little bit of profit.
The external attitudes of the Arab and Tang dynasties were obvious.
"Kill them all!" Pei Min said lightly.
"Okay!" Ashinash suddenly stood up and said, "Killing that beast will only dirty the prince's hands. I will take off the traitor's head and offer it to the prince."
"No, no, no, no..." Pei Min said several "no" and shook his head and said, "The governor misunderstood what I mean. What I said was to kill them."
He carried his hands on his back and said, "According to the news from my hands, Huyan's troops sent more than 7,000 troops this time, two thousand of which were defeated by Gao Xianzhi's Beiting Army and Gaochangcang's guards. More than 5,000 escaped back to Geluo when they saw that the situation was not good. I said that they would kill me."
Ashinashi's face suddenly changed, and he immediately knelt down and begged: "Prince, they are all my tribe members. They are just instigated by traitors. Please ask the Prince to let me go. I, Gelu, will definitely be grateful for the Prince's kindness!"
