Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 190 Huizhou ([-]) (adding updates to the Tsing Yi Panda boss)
"Did Cheng Zongchu respond? Would you like to do something important with me?" Outside Qingzhou City, Shao Shude asked Feng Yin.

"Cheng Shuai is still hesitating. There are few soldiers in Jingyuan. If there is no battle, he is afraid that several states will fall and the land will no longer be owned by the Tang Dynasty." Feng Yin replied.

"You don't even want to regain Yuanzhou?"

Because of the war, the ownership of the counties along the Jingyuan Road is very complicated.

In the Yuan and early years, there were four counties in the old Yuanzhou, namely Pinggao, Pingliang, Baiquan and Xiaoguan, which were later captured by Tubo.

In the third year of Yuanhe, Xingyuanzhou was set up in Linjing County, Jingzhou. "Xing" can be understood as the meaning of exile.

In the fourth year of Yuanhe, Pingliang County of Yuanzhou, which was recovered, was set up in Weizhou.

In the third year of Dazhong, Xiaoguan was recovered. In five years, Wuzhou was established, and Xiaoguan County was under its jurisdiction.

At this time, Yuanzhou governed Pinggao, Baiquan, and Linjing counties, and governed Pinggao.There were originally five counties in Jingzhou, but when Linjing was taken by Yuanzhou, there were still four counties.

In the first year of Guangming, there was Chaos, and the Jingyuan army was transferred eastward, and the three prefectures of Yuan, Wu, and Wei were captured by Tubo.

In history, in the fourth year of Zhonghe, Pingliang was recovered, and Zhang Jun, the Jiedu envoy, made a list to reset Weizhou.In this time and space, Cheng Zongchu did not die in Chang'an, and the loss was not as great as in history. Therefore, after regaining Chang'an, he returned to Shijingyuan, defeated Tubo, recovered Pingliang, and asked to set up Weizhou-no "line", it is considered official Weizhou is now under the jurisdiction of Pingliang County.

Among the three counties in Yuanzhou, there are still Baiquan County and Pinggao County in the state city, and the state government has been moved to Linjing County.In addition, Xiaoguan County in Wuzhou is also in the hands of Tubo.

Cheng Zongchu is known as the land of four prefectures, but in fact there are only nine counties. Now the actual control is only four counties in Jingzhou, one county in Yuanzhou, one county in Weizhou, one county in Wuzhou, and two counties in Yuanzhou are still in Tubo. hand.

"Marshal, Cheng Shizhong may be worried that Shang Yanxin's old army still has strength, and the enemy's situation is unknown, so he dare not send troops. But with my army to help, he should have some ideas." Feng Yin said.

"Cheng Zongchu is really a loyal minister." Shao Shude suddenly smiled, and said: "There are still three counties in the town in the hands of Tubo, and they are not in a hurry to take them back. Instead, they lead troops east to King Qin of Chang'an, so they don't worry about their old nest. Is Jingzhou also taken away?"

"Press him again. If he doesn't come, I will enter Yuanzhou myself. Let him bear the consequences." Shao Shude said: "Shang Yanxin has been dead for so many years, how much strength can his old department have? ? Just tell him, if I recover the Yuan and Wu prefectures for him, if I want to take them back, it will not be that simple, and he will definitely be in a hurry."

Feng Yin, Zhao Guangfeng, Chen Cheng and others all laughed when they heard this.To the northwest of Yuanzhou is Lingzhou. To frighten him with these words, Cheng Zongchu may indeed be in a hurry, and maybe he will come.This time to fight against Tubo, it is best for all the towns to go together, because there are more people and more strength.

Needless to say, Binning Town, Zhe Zongben has already agreed to send 4000 troops.If Cheng Zongchu of the Jingyuan Army is on the road, there is no need for many, and it is no problem to send out three to [-] people. The most important thing is to participate.As for Fengxiang Town in the south, Shao had no hope. Although he sent someone to contact him, it was unlikely that Zhu Mei would send troops.

It was the former Tubo general Shang Yanxin who made the disturbance this time.

Those who are still in the heart, talk about the generals who are afraid of heat.During the Dazhong period, because of fear of the raging heat, Gao Pian, the governor of Qinzhou, lured him to surrender.Shang Yanxin and more than ten thousand tents attached in the late Qing Dynasty, surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in the land of He and Weizhou, and worshiped as General Wuwei.Gao Pian took the opportunity to send troops to occupy Fenglin Pass, and Shang Yanxin still lived in Hezhou and Weizhou, and served as the envoy of the capital Youyi, which was equivalent to a feudal town under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

After Shang Yanxin's death, the internal power struggle was fierce, and they attacked and killed each other, but there was no one to talk about it.

In fact, Huizhou once returned to the court, but Tubo’s succession of power was very painful. If you were not careful, no one would obey the other and attack each other. Now Huizhou is independent again. Tubo Wanhu controls the second county, but he and The Tubo people who captured Hezhou and Weizhou also had conflicts, and even fought one or two battles with each other.

Of course, none of these people were real Tibetans.There are not many people in the Tubo headquarters, but there are really many slaves under control.Qubu is actually a member of the party, sometimes attached to Lun Fear, sometimes attached to Shang Yanxin, and sometimes attached to Datang.

Tuoba Huaiguang, the maidservant who once descended to the Tang Dynasty, was not from Tubo, but from Yangtongren. He led the tribes under his control to return to the Tang Dynasty, and dedicated Dilan, Shan, Min, Kuo and other states.And there are small army leaders under these people, and the nationalities are also different. For example, Zhang Jiyong, the envoy of Shanzhou City, is a Han.

The so-called Gamo currently controlling Liangzhou, according to a memorial by Zhang Yichao: "Xiantong took Liangzhou in the second year, but I don't know it today, but it is mixed and muddy... The people of Gamo were originally from Hexi and Longyou. children and grandchildren, but the country abandoned them and became tribes.”

In the Tubo language, the last ones originally meant slaves. It can be seen that the survivors of Tianbao in Liangzhou and other places were enlisted as slaves by Tubo, and later mixed with some Tubo and Tuyuhun. They were completely transformed into tribal organizations. But they are indeed not Tibetans.

In Longyou, Hexi, there are not many Tubo people. There are a lot of former Tubo slave tribes, each of which is based on prefectures and counties.Of the more than one million survivors of Tianbao, I don't know how many of them have been turned into Huhu, and how many of them still adhere to the farming tradition.Before the Anshi Rebellion, the main ethnic group in Longyou, Hexi should still be Han. After all, there were more than 20 households. After the collapse of Tubo, states and counties attacked each other, and the largest population should be Han.

On the 29th of the first month of the second year of Guangqi, Shao Shude led his army to Yima Pass in the southwest of Gyeongju.At this time, Cheng Zongchu's messenger finally delivered a message.

"Report to the King of Lingwu County, my family's general has assembled five thousand troops, and has pledged his troops outside the city of Jingzhou. He will set off soon to conquer Tubo."

"Okay, Cheng Shizhong is indeed quite bloody!" Shao Shude, who was riding on the horse, laughed, and said: "I'm going west now, and I'm caught off guard by attacking Tubo in Yuanzhou. How will Cheng Shizhong treat Yuanzhou Tubo?"

"Naturally march into Huizhou."

******
A mist hangs over the land.

Ye Lihua drilled back into the house, looked at the group of chiefs from Mingzhu, Wuzang, Shuilingbu, Bai, and Bagou, and sighed in his heart.

These tribes are all descendants of Shang Yanxin's old tribe.After Shang Yanxin returned to Tang Dynasty, they lived scattered in the towns of Jingyuan, Binning and Fengxiang.The name is Tubo, but it is actually a Dangxiang Qiang.

Ye Lihua even knew that in the Hengshan Mountain to the north, there was a powerful Dangxiang clan known as "Nanshan Wild Beaver".It is said that there is another branch farther away, nomadic in the Hexi area (that is, the Prince Yeli family, one of the nine Tatar clans, the Tatarized Dangxiang people).

The Nanshan Yeli family has always regarded itself as orthodox, and looked down on Hexi Yeli, and even more looked down on Yuanzhou Yeli who was enslaved by Tubo.

In fact, the Ye Li family is like this, so why not if there is no Zang family in Yuanzhou?The Hengshan Party Xiangbuzang Department has opposed Tubo's rule for generations, and for this reason they did not hesitate to fight each other.I don't know how much I despise the Wuzang family of Yuanzhou who is willing to be a slave.

Alas, they are all a bunch of lonely ghosts.

Why are party members so miserable?At the beginning, he was enslaved by Tubo, and he fled to the Tang Dynasty after being overwhelmed by oppression, and then he had to fight for the Tang people.Those who neither sought refuge with the Tang people nor were they willing to be enslaved by the Tubo people went to the northern grasslands, only to be enslaved by the Uyghurs.

When will the Dangxiang Qiang people have their own country?

Forget it, since Hengshan Dangxiang joked about us as "Tuban Dangxiang" and Hexi Dangxiang as "Tartar Dangxiang" and looked down on people so much, we made a big deal and occupied Wonju, which is rich in water and grass, and even connected to Gyeongju. The Dachong clan, the Qu clan of Huizhou, and the Yangyan clan of Wuzhou have separated themselves in this Tang Dynasty and established a large party and Xiangguo. Let's see what you say then!

"The people from the Bazang clan haven't come yet?" Ye Lihua asked, brushing the dew on the fur coat.

The Bazang Clan originally occupied Pingliang, but it was a pity that their strength was weak, and they were overshadowed by the local tyrants of the Tang Dynasty who clearly took refuge in him. They joined forces with the Jingyuan Army, causing the entire army to be defeated, and even the city of Weizhou was lost.Now Ye Lihua wants to recruit the rest of them to strengthen himself in order to deal with the army of Tang people who may come over.

"I didn't come, maybe I went to Huizhou or Lingzhou." Someone said.

"Lingzhou?" Ye Lihua jumped up like a rabbit, and said, "Shao Shude, the king of Lingwu County, just broke through Lingzhou last year and slaughtered party items everywhere. Is there a way to survive there?"

"I heard that as long as you pay tribute and pay off on time, you will be safe."

Ye Lihua looked at the speaker with a dangerous look. The Bai family had previously opposed taking advantage of the situation to capture Yuanzhou. The reason was that now that the Tubo country is weak and torn apart, it is difficult for anyone to support them.If the Tang Emperor mobilized a large army to come, everyone would have to abandon Yuanzhou and flee westward to Huizhou, which might be annexed by the Qu family.

"We have 3000 households here, more than [-] people, can't we do a big business by ourselves?" Ye Lihua said angrily: "The Qu family is just a [-] household. It has occupied Huizhou for so many years, how comfortable it is. Don’t you want to do this? Yuanzhou is rich in water and grass, and there are Tang people farming fields. If we can occupy it and let the Tang Dynasty emperor acquiesce, we can separate one side and follow the example of Huizhou.”

Ye Lihua became more and more angry as he talked, and was about to publicize the great principles of his party member's founding of the country, when a man broke in from outside and said out of breath: "The army of the Tang Dynasty has been dispatched, tens of thousands of soldiers are attacking hundreds of people. Quan. The people of Kangnu couldn’t stand it, and they were about to flee west.”

"What!" Everyone turned their gazes over.
