Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yuchi Wumi was dismissed from his post and sent home. It seemed that he was about to sink, but this was exactly what he hoped for.  Through his own experiences, he made it clear to everyone that their king was determined to confront the Sui army and lead them to destruction.  Some ministers who were originally neutral were also anxious at this time.

    After the Battle of Yusuo Mountain, the Sui army became arrogant, and its deterrence to the countries in the Western Regions reached its peak.

    After Yuchi Wumi returned home, he closed the door and thanked guests in the name of thinking about his mistakes, but in private he kept meeting with the civil and military officials of his old ministry and the country.

    Many people think that the king at this time has been possessed by a demon and cannot be persuaded at all. In this case, it is better to depose Bei Shi Guan Lian and welcome Yuchi Womi as the king.

    While Yuchi Womi was making his resignation, he was actively trying to win over people's hearts and was fully prepared for a coup.

    On the night of April 16, Yuchi Womi secretly ordered three hundred of his confidants to sneak into the city, and he led his men to kill the palace under the cover of night.  Yuchi Dan, the guard at the west gate of the palace, was a good friend of Yuchi Wormi, and he was also dissatisfied with Bei's retreat, so he took the opportunity to open the west gate and let Yuchi Wormi in.

    Yuchi Wumi also asked Yuchi to summon his confidant, Captain Yuchishe, to go to the west gate and seize the opportunity to capture him unprepared.

    Yuchi Wumi cut off Yuchishe's head in front of everyone to show that what happened today is irreversible and will never give up halfway.

    Yuchi Womi led 300 men and horses all the way to Beishiguanlian's palace. Anyone who stood in the way were killed.  So everyone fought all the way to Beishiguanlian's palace and surrounded him.

    When Beishi Guanlian heard about the chaos, he was shocked and quickly mobilized his troops to quell the chaos. However, the entire palace was already in chaos, and Beishi Guanlian's order could not be spread at all.

    Human showingly was uneasy and helpless.

    Soon, Yuchi Womi came to Beishiguanlian's palace.

    Beishi Guanlian was shocked and angry when he saw his nephew who should have been thinking about him at home. He finally knew what happened, so he pointed at Yuchi Wumi with an angry and trembling finger and said: "Yuchi Wumi, my good nephew  , how dare you betray me?"

    However, Yuchi Wumi spoke righteously and said to the uncle of the king: "Your Majesty, it's not that I betrayed you, but that you betrayed Khotan. You insist on going your own way and have to fight the Sui Dynasty. Do you know?  The Sui army has occupied Kancheng (today's Cele County, Xinjiang) and is about to attack the city. You want to die, but the people in the city don't."

    "Asshole!"

    Beishi Guanlian said angrily: "Do you know what you are doing? Once Khotan accepts the order of the Sui people, Khotan will perish, and the Yuchi family will perish."

    "I don't know whether we will be destroyed in the future, but if my uncle doesn't surrender now, then Khotan will be destroyed directly. My uncle thinks too highly of himself. Even the Western Turks can't stop the Sui people. My uncle thinks that with a small  Can Khotan stop the Sui Dynasty?"

    "you!"

    "General Right, don't talk to this foolish king again."

    Soon some important ministers who supported Yuchi Wumi arrived one after another.  Bei Shi Guan Lian looked at the familiar faces and was shocked.

    "You all are here, has the whole of Khotan betrayed my king?"

    Yuchi Womi asked someone to push Beishi Guanlian, who was somewhat lost, into an inner room and hang him alive.  Then he dispatched his confidants, gathered soldiers and horses in the city, and occupied the treasury and important places in the city.

    After dawn, the old king is dead and the new king is born.

    Yuchiwomi's coup did not cause much turmoil in the city.  Although Beishiguanlian has been the king for more than 20 years, he has always been cruel and willful, and his popularity among the people in the country is not high.  However, Yuchi Wumei was good at winning the hearts of the people, and his polite and virtuous corporal attitude toward superiors and subordinates has always been respected by the people.

    Moreover, after the Battle of Lancheng, Bei Shi Guan Lian insisted on fighting to the death with the Sui army, which also made many people worried.  Now that Beishiguan has been trained to death, I think the war is about to end, and many people came to cheer for this.

    Yuchi Womi became the new king of Khotan in front of Beishiguanlian's body. The first thing he did after taking the throne was to send people to the Sui army and surrender to the Sui army.

    As for the Sui people's demands for garrisoning troops, paying tribute, and managing government, they all agreed, and only asked the Sui Dynasty to retain the state of Khotan.

    Gao Zhen had just captured Cancheng and was preparing to repair for two days before attacking again.  The peace envoy from Khotan has arrived. When he heard the other party's request for surrender, Gao Zhen smiled. It turns out that there are smart people in Khotan. If he had known this, why bother in the beginning.  However, since the other party asked to surrender, Gao Zhen did not attack rashly, but led his troops to the west to take over the city.

    On April 22, Gao Zhen led the Sui army to the capital of Khotan. Yuchi Womi led the civil and military forces in the city to surrender to the Sui army, and also presented the national seal and the keys to all treasuries.

    ForGao Zhen also paid enough respect to Chi Womi's knowledge and interests.  Gao Zhen is not a stupid boy. The situation in Khotan is very different from that of other countries.

    When the Sui Dynasty entered the Western Region, they had to fight for all aspects, not only the territory, but also the hearts and minds of the people.

    The Yuchi family has ruled Khotan for hundreds of years, integrated into all aspects of Khotan, and won the hearts of the people of Khotan.  Completely eradicating the Yuchi family would almost mean rebuilding Khotan. For the Sui Dynasty, the time was short and they were temporarily unable to do so.  Therefore, if you want to better rule Khotan, you need to temporarily stabilize the Yuchi family.

    Huang Mingliao heard that after the Sui army occupied Khotan, he spoke highly of Yuchi Womye. At the same time, he invited Yuchi Womye to come to Luntai for a meeting, and expressed his request to the emperor to make Yuchi Womye the king of Khotan.

    As for the newly conquered Khotan, the Sui army garrisoned here and took over the Khotan army.  However, in order not to cause a backlash from the Yuchi family, Khotan people were still used to manage political affairs, but Khotan was ordered to fully switch to the Sui system, and the Sui Dynasty was responsible for supervising the administration.

    During the Sui Dynasty, the Khotan military town was officially established in Khotan, Gao Zhen was appointed as the garrison envoy, and six thousand troops were deployed.

    Because of the special situation in Khotan, the Sui Dynasty did not establish a county in Khotan.  In order to strengthen the control of Khotan, the Sui Dynasty established Pishan (the ancient site of Azi Mazha in the east of Pishan County, Xinjiang today), Jiliang (Sangzhu Bazar in the southeast of Pishan County, Xinjiang), Kancheng, Lancheng,  There are five towns in Hunu (now south of Hotan County, Xinjiang).

    ?? Among them, Hunu Town is located in the south of Nanshan (also called Qiumozhi Mountain, today's Ustentag, Xinjiang), and can directly lead to the Women's Kingdom to the south.

    The establishment of Khotan Army Town turned the previous four towns in the Western Regions into five towns, with a total establishment of 38,000 people.  Of course, the actual number of troops now does not exceed 15,000.  This figure is one-third more than the historical 24,000 people in the four towns in the Western Regions.  However, historically the Tang Dynasty controlled the Western Regions and did not destroy its vassal states. That is to say, in addition to the Tang army, there were tens of thousands of auxiliary troops from Qiuci, Yanqi, Khotan, and Shule.  At present, due to the semi-annihilation of various countries by the Sui Dynasty, the number of vassal troops that can be drawn out will not exceed 20,000, which naturally increases the number of Sui armies.

    ¡°And in the future, in order to ensure local control, the subordinate army will also be eliminated. Therefore, the garrison of the five towns in the Western Region must be at least 50,000 to ensure local stability.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
