Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 107 The Charm of Civilization

The setting sun slanted, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on this small restaurant. The dim sunlight showed a solemn feeling at this moment.

Fanshun ate up the flax cakes and drank the mutton soup, he looked up behind the counter of the restaurant.

A tall burly man wearing a leather hat and a short and nimble fellow were gathering together, and they could be identified as Tang'er at a glance.

Fanshun knew that they were looking at him, since the second day he entered the restaurant, the two had noticed him, and the guy's appearance also matched Zhao Sanlang's description.

For three days, he carefully observed the surrounding environment, and basically determined that this restaurant was not a trap set by Governor Shule or others.

Because this is the slum area of ​​Shule City, where good and bad people are mixed, and a large number of Buddhists, Manichaeists, Nestorians and people of other strange beliefs gather here.

Although Saktu Buglahan wanted to turn the entire Shule into the stronghold of the Tianfang Sect, there were many people who dared not object openly but refused to convert secretly.

Over the past ten years, this area has become the most complicated place in Shule City. Not only Tianfang believers rarely come, but also people from Khan Court and Governor's Mansion rarely come.

In general, even if they want to 'fish', Saktu Buglahan and Ittihad will not choose to fish here.

Seeing that the people in the restaurant had almost left, Fanshun simply leaned against a wooden pillar and let the warm sunset shine on him. He tapped lightly on the table with a small stick, and then lightly Sing softly.

"If you want to ask about the side of the bicycle, it belongs to the country and passes through Juyan. When you conquer Peng, you leave Hansai, and you return to the wild goose and enter Hutian."

A copper coin appeared between the two fingers of Fanshun's right hand.

Huitong walked over calmly, looking very calm, but Li Qilang suddenly saw a large area of ​​goosebumps appearing on Huitong's face.

What does the guy on the other side mean?For the first time, Li Qilang hated himself for not studying well.

"The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river. Xiao Guan rides every time, and he is protected by Yan Ran." Hui Tong also sang loudly.

This is the charm of culture, the charm of Han civilization. Two people have established communication through simple poems, which ordinary foreigners cannot understand or pretend to be.

Fanshun said that if you want to ask about the bicycle, it belongs to the country to pass Juyan, which means that you ride alone on a light bicycle and come from the east across the mountains and rivers.

The ancients often used the flying peng to describe a wanderer drifting outside, but adding the light car representing the envoy, it was a metaphor for a minister with a mission for the court. It was Wang Wei who wrote The original meaning of the poem, Fanshun here means that he has a mission.

The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river.Whenever Xiao Guan rides, he protects Yan Ran.It's even better here.

The first two sentences can be ignored, but the last two sentences have profound meanings. Xiao Guan refers to the border pass, Hou Qi refers to the scouts at the border pass, and the guard is the Anxi governor.

Huitong continued this sentence, saying that there are only a few small soldiers here, and most of the people and leaders are still far away.

"Where did the unknown come from?" Hui Tong arched his hands, his heart was full of infinite expectations, and he kept praying, but it must not be someone from Khotan.

It's not that the people of Khotan are unreliable, but that they simply don't have the ability to capture Shule.

Originally there were quite a few Han people and Buddhists in Shule, but Khotan fought six times without success. Although they lost a lot, the Buddhists and Han people that Shule served as their internal support suffered even more. !

Every time Khotan retreated, the people of Shule City would be cleaned by the Khan of the Kara Khanate, and the last time they were cleaned, even the Dayun Temple could not be preserved.

"Last night, the barbarians avenged the country, and Shazhou defended and destroyed Liangzhou. The nine bends of the Yellow River now return to the Han, and the battle outside the Great Wall is bloody."

Fanshun very proudly sang the most proud poem of the returning soldiers.

Huitong's eyes lit up, and he made a salute to Fanshun.

"Hui Tong, the registered disciple of Daozhen Master Tong Daozhen, the ninth generation of the capital monk in Shule Dayun Temple, has met the honored guest. Did the honored guest come from Dunhuang?"

"Guiyi Army Envoy, Founding Duke of Nanyang, Great-Grandson of Taibao Zhang Yiyi Chaogong, Duan Qu Fanshun under the command of Lord Zhang Erlang of Dunhuang, met Master Huitong!"

Fanshun returned a bow, and then reported out of the house, saying that he tossed the Tang Jianzhong copper coin in his hand to this strong man who sounded like a monk.

"Let's return this thing to Master first!"

"Brother Fan, please! Li Qilang quickly lock it!" Hui Tong stretched out his hand, and he grabbed the copper coin. He took a casual look, and it was indeed the one that Li Qilang sent out that day.

. . . .

This is a secret room in the food shop, dark and damp, with the smell of couscous and other spoiled vegetables, the smell is quite unpleasant, but the three of them suddenly didn't realize it, and both parties could see the desire from each other's eyes.

One side longs to find fellow-clans, and the other hopes to find comrades.

"Dare to ask, honorable guest, are Mr. Zhang Erlang and Gao Chang's prostrate Feng En Daqian the same person? Has the Tang Dynasty in the east been revived as the merchant said? Is Mr. Zhang Erlang the leader of the army?"

After being silent for more than a minute, Huitong lost his composure at first, and he looked at Fanshun expectantly.

Fanshun shook his head lightly, he really wanted to tell this monk Huitong that the Great Tang had been revived, but he heard from Mr. Erlang that this Great Tang was not the real Great Tang.

And Mr. Erlang seems to look down on this Tang Dynasty very much, because he has never seen that Mr. Erlang has relied on this Tang Dynasty in his heart.

You must know that Mr. Erlang is the best at taking advantage of the situation. If this Datang is really reliable, he probably posted it long ago.

"I can only tell Master Huitong that the Tang Dynasty did appear in the Central Plains, but this Tang Dynasty does not seem to be the previous Tang Dynasty. According to Mr. Erlang, it is a country built by the clan of King Li Jin, but only in the Central Plains. I'm afraid it's still far away from sending a large army into the Western Regions!"

Huitong's expression darkened after hearing what Fanshun said. Since there is only the Central Plains, it means that Jiannan, Shannan, and Lingnan have not yet been acquired, and naturally it is impossible to march into the Western Regions so soon.

"I don't know when the Central Plains will be revived? A certain man has passed his age, and he can't wait for a few years!"

Huitong with a gloomy complexion sat on a bag of corn, looked at the ground, and sighed softly.

He never doubted that the people of the Central Plains might not send troops, he just sighed and wondered when he would have to wait?
In the eyes of people at this time, after the Central Plains became stronger, it was only natural to send troops into the Western Regions.

Because before that, the first Han Dynasty fell, and after the loss of the Western Regions, even the usurpering new dynasty sent troops to recover, not to mention that the Later Han Dynasty sent generals Dou Gu and the eternally famous Ban Dingyuan to regain control of the Western Regions.

After the fall of the Later Han Dynasty, Cao Wei and even the Sima family, who inherited this position, continued to manage the Western Regions, and then the former Qin and so on were like this. When the Tang Dynasty completely solved the Eastern Turks and pushed the territory of Anxi to the west traveled thousands of miles.

So although the Tang Dynasty is gone now, everyone believes that as long as the Central Plains court is revived again, it will only be a matter of time before sending troops westward.

They never thought that it would take eight or nine hundred years for the Han people to leave the Western Regions this time and come in again.

"Mr. Erlang is a descendant of the Zhang family, not a Uighur son of Gaochang. The identity of Pugu Fengen is just a disguise of Mr. Erlang!"

"Why did the master of the guest pretend to be a Gaochang Uyghur? And why did he rescue the monks of Dayun Temple?"

Hearing Huitong's question, Fanshun smiled lightly, "Master can ask Mr. Erlang face to face with these questions in the future, because this Shule City will soon change hands!"
