Han Shizu

Chapter 1097
For Pu Le, the Uighur envoy from Xizhou, the journey to the east was too fulfilling, and he was also dazzled by what he saw along the way.From the mouths of past envoys and merchants, many people have heard about China's strength and prosperity, but it is ultimately from the mouths of others.

I haven't been able to witness it with my own eyes. Personal imagination has boundaries. No matter how extravagant the words are, it is difficult to have a deeper feeling.However, when he came to the East for the first time and experienced it himself, Pu Le finally understood that the rumors did not deceive him, and even those words that he thought were exaggerated seemed pale and could not describe his eleventh.

Having truly seen the vast territory of the Han Dynasty, the high solidity of the city, the plentiful population, the abundance of products, the excellent armor, and the exquisite uniforms, Pu Le sighed, and his heart was also filled with a strong sense of awe.

It is said that wars and turmoil are frequent in China, and there has been no peace for hundreds of years. Even if it is restored to unity, it has not been expected to recover to this point.The Gaochang Uighurs have stood in the Western Regions for nearly a hundred years and dominated the region. At first, they still had a lot of pride in their hearts, but now they are ashamed of their ignorant thoughts.Of course, Pu Le's personal psychological activities are not known to others.

At the same time, seeing that the big man showed such a powerful appearance, Pu Le couldn't help but have more expectations for asking the Han army to send troops to the west.

After staying in the concierge for two days and enjoying the highest treatment and best hospitality here, the most exciting thing for Pu Le came. The supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor, decided to meet him in person.

In fact, the arrival of servants this time is a private act, not formal enough, there are no envoys, credentials, and tributes. It is a bit unexpected that this can still be treated with a certain standard of courtesy, and it can be seen from this that the imperial court I am still very concerned about the situation in the Western Regions.

There are often officials in the court who feel that the current Han palace is old and difficult to show the imperial and royal atmosphere, so we should remove the old and build a new one.But in the eyes of Pu Le, it is already extremely magnificent. Compared with it, the Gaochang Palace that Uighur Khan is proud of is simply a country house. The kind of culture and etiquette that the palace possesses has the precipitation and thickness.

Emperor Liu received Pu Le in the Chongzheng Hall, and he specially asked the prince, Minister of War Zhao Kuangyin, and Privy Envoy Li Chuyun to accompany him, but the scene was naturally not as harmonious as when he entertained Cao Yuangong.

In front of foreign barbarians, Emperor Liu had always maintained his majesty and adorned them with a superior attitude.And in the face of this kind of domineering, it didn't make people feel uncomfortable. Who said that the big man is strong enough.

After the Han and Liao wars that year, the international status of the Han Dynasty has been established.

Calling Zhao Kuangyin and Li Chuyun together was obviously more out of military considerations, and Emperor Liu directly consulted him about the affairs of the Western Regions.In this regard, Pu Le did not dare to hide anything, and told Chai Rong the exact situation of the battle in the Western Regions, and paid more attention to details, for fear of omissions.

"That is to say, now, the Xizhou Uighurs are sticking to Kucha, waiting for reinforcements?" After listening to his story, Emperor Liu asked.

"Return to Your Majesty! That's right!" After a long period of training, Pu Le's Chinese is already pretty good. Although the accent is still heavy, at least he can communicate normally. It seems that this person still has some talent in language.

"Uyghur Khan sent envoys to rescue him in all directions. Do you think there will be a response? Is anyone willing to rescue him?" Emperor Liu asked.

"This..." Pu Le was stunned when he heard the question. Thinking of the repeated refusal of his request for help along the way, he became a little depressed, but he quickly reacted and replied: "Other powers and foreign ministers can't guarantee it, but Khotan in the southwest, Soldiers will definitely be sent to help. The two countries have always had good relations, and the Khitan people have been on a western expedition, burned, killed, looted, and enslaved the tribes and tribes. Everyone inside and outside is outraged.

In addition, if I return to the Hughes to destroy the country, the next target of the Khitan people must be Khotan. The Han people have a word called "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold." Dong, at least, should also send troops to contain it! "

Listening to this servant talking eloquently, Emperor Liu couldn't help but look at him, thought for a while, and said, "What about the Black Khan Kingdom?"

When mentioning the neighbors to the west, Pu Le showed a little unnaturalness, which was a disgusting emotion.After thinking for a while, Pu Le said: "The ministers can't make a conclusion?"

"Why?"

So, Pu Le began to explain some of the situation of the Black Khan Dynasty, which was also a Turkic multi-ethnic country, and it has been passed down to the present, and it is the fifth generation of monarchs.

After early expansion, it occupied half of the Western Regions. It was bounded by the Tianshan Mountains and Kunlun Mountains with the Xizhou Uighurs and Khotan. It basically maintained peace and harmony, and there was no shortage of people-to-people exchanges.

However, during the period of its fourth monarch, Satuk Bogra Khan, he was considered a promising lord. During his reign, he actively reformed internally, developed national power, expanded externally, and recovered the important town occupied by the Samanid dynasty. rose.

The most important point is that during the long-term confrontation with the Samanid dynasty, Black Khan was deeply influenced by MSL, and Satuk regained power from his uncle also relied on the support of the jihadists of the YSL religion in Hezhong. It was also from him that MSL began Black Khan has developed rapidly in China.

This trend has naturally affected neighboring countries. Khotan and Xizhou Uyghurs all believe in Buddhism.And in the 13th year of Qianyou, the contemporary Black Khan Lord Baitash officially declared YSL as the state religion and began to fully convert MSL.

Not much to say about matters related to religious belief.
During this process, Hei Khan has already revealed his ambition for the territory in the east, but the desire to expand is temporarily suppressed.The national strength of the Saman dynasty in the west is relatively strong, and it is not easy to deal with it. Once it takes action in the east, it will almost confront the entire western and eastern world.

However, Heikhan has a big advantage, that is, he can use the name of jihad to recruit jihadists from the Central Asian region to march eastward. With such a background, it is no wonder that Pu Le showed such a complicated expression.

Hearing this, Emperor Liu couldn't help being stunned. He had always had only a half-knowledge of the affairs in the west. According to his description, the Western Regions were transformed and gradually expanded eastward, probably starting from the Black Khan Dynasty.

I felt a little emotional in my heart, I never thought that he was in such a period, for Emperor Liu, this was a surprise.

At the same time, a feeling of disgust arose in his heart, not because he had any views on religion, just like when he suppressed Buddhism before, what he considered was purely national interests.As a powerful emperor, Liu Chengyou responded in this way to all religious religions that interfered with secular power and threatened the monarchy.

"Are you afraid of luring wolves into the house?" Emperor Liu pointed out Pu Le's thoughts.

Pu Le nodded and sighed: "However, the only strong reinforcements nearby are Hei Khan and Khotan. Enter!"

As he said that, Pu Le fell to the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Liu: "The Uighurs have been close to the Central Plains since ancient times, and they admire the strength of the Han Dynasty and the majesty of His Majesty. I implore Your Majesty to show great mercy and send troops westward to save the people of the Western Regions. If this is the case, Xizhou is willing to be a vassal of the Han Dynasty forever, with constant contacts and annual tribute!"

Listening to his request, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, looked at this person, the expression on his face seemed to say, with just a few dry words, do you want him to send troops to the Western Regions and rescue the Uighurs?
Regardless of the difficulty of this matter, after so long, it is unknown whether the Xizhou Uighurs still exist.

Perhaps aware of Emperor Liu's thoughts, Zhao Kuangyin spoke up and asked, "I don't understand something, please ask the envoy to explain it!"

Looking at Pu Le, Zhao Kuangyin said: "The Liao army marched westward, you have more soldiers and horses, and you are sitting on a strong city, and you are in danger of Tianshan Mountain. The Liao army broke through the capital. The envoys came from afar, and now seven months have passed, how can the city of Kucha resist the advance of the Liao army?

Even if the big man sends troops three thousand miles away, it will take one or two months from preparation to dispatch, and it may take half a year to arrive in the Western Regions. Can your country last so long? "
