Chapter 160 Where to Find Iron Armor

Zhang Zhao was so drunk that he entertained all the descendants of the Anxi Army he could find from Shule City, a total of only 37 people.

These 37 people included men, women and children, not many young and old, and most of them were almost natives. Many of them just remembered their ancestors, and they couldn't even speak Chinese well.

But Zhang Zhao didn't mean to look down on him at all. Surrounded by millions of Hu people, there was no atmosphere of speaking Chinese at all. After more than a hundred years, there are still more than a hundred people around, which is not bad.

Of course, this does not mean that there are only a hundred people in the descendants of the Anxi Army. Zheng Tong and Li Qilang gave Zhang Zhao a very important message.

That is, during the gradual greening process of Shule, the descendants of the Anxi army who migrated here were afraid of becoming the next target again. For the safety of the ethnic group, they moved out of Shule successively within a few years.

Among the descendants of the Anxi army who moved out of Shule, they were divided into two parts, one part was headed by the Yang family and the Zheng family, and they migrated to the country of Pullhana, which is the Fergana Basin.

Because King Rahana took his tribe to Shule to seek asylum from the Anxi Army after his country was wiped out by the Great Food. The king of Khanna returned to his country.

So after decades, the people of King Rahanna, who had no hope of restoring the country, finally merged into the Anxi army.

So when they moved out of Shule, the Zheng family and the Yang family moved back to Bahanna together with the descendants of King Bahanna.

Not only because the descendants of Rahana's royal family are familiar with the local area, but also because Fergana is a basin surrounded by high mountains and sparsely populated at this time. As long as you hide on the mountains, you can avoid most of the enemies. survive.

The second branch led to the Geluoling area south of Shule, because at that time the descendants of Congling's capture general Luo's family still insisted on this place, and it was also a high mountain, which was good for hiding. The descendants of Lu Yang, the guardian envoy, are mainly descendants of Su, Bai and other families.

Among these two groups, the one who moved to the country of Bahana had the largest number of people. Zheng Tong and Li Qilang who stayed in Shule City and attached themselves to Dayun Temple were actually the eyeliners of this group who stayed in Shule.

However, due to various reasons, they have not heard from them for seven or eight years. However, eight years ago, this group sent people to Shule. It is said that there are thousands of Dingkou.

However, the situation of the people who went to Geluoling was not good. They were attacked by people sent by the Kara Khanate several times, and there were also traitors like Lu Sanlang who leaked the secret of the Loyalty Treasury. It's unknown if it's gone.

In addition to these two groups of people, there is another group of people, that is, the Guo family who was suspected of being a traitor and fell out with everyone and chose to move east.

It is only known that they moved to the vicinity of Kucha about 40 years ago, and it is also said that they went in the direction of Suiye City.

But this is just a general statement, even Master Daozhen doesn't know where they are.

The Guo family is the largest family in the Anxi army. If they are still there, there will be a lot of Dingkou. After 40 years of reproduction, there are at least tens of thousands of people. They must be found.

The reason why these people did not go to Khotan is very simple, because Li Shengtian of Khotan is also a Hu. Although Zhang Zhao knew from what happened in later history that Li Shengtian insisted on Han culture and was a good Tang Dynasty, the Anxi army didn't know it!

What's more, when the Tubo captured Khotan, Li Shengtian's ancestors were traitors.

Otherwise, why the two royal families Shulepei and Qiucibai were all killed by the Tubo people, but the Yuchi family in Khotan survived alone, and they were able to turn around in the end because they were in the war when the Tubo people captured Khotan. chose to surrender.

The ancestor of the Huixing monk, Yang Riyou, the guardian of Khotan, was forced to retreat northward because the Yuchi family took refuge in Tubo. Therefore, from the bottom of their hearts, the descendants of the Anxi army did not trust the Yuchi family in Khotan at all.

In addition, the descendants of the Anxi army were raided by the Hu people in Xizhou, and they were attacked by Kara Khan as a different kind when they arrived in Shule. They no longer believed in any Anxi Hu people.

They only thought about how to hide themselves, and hide deeper, because they felt that only by hiding in this way could they wait until the Central Plains revived and sent troops westward.

After understanding this, Zhang Zhao also knew what to do. The descendants of the Anxi army should not be too many, and at most 20,000 people can be found.

At the same time, the thousands of Tang'er in Khotan were destined not to go with him, so the number of people he could bring back should not be too many, and he had to follow the route of elite soldiers.

But at this time, Anxi's productivity was very low, and iron armor and even iron weapons were very precious.

But if he wants to take the route of elite soldiers, he needs a lot of armor and weapons. He has about a hundred sets of armor in Regret Mountain, and Zhang Zhao's family has almost been wiped out.

Since then, although I have collected a lot from Saktu's treasure house, there are only more than a hundred sets. The armor that I got from Li Shengtian is only a few dozen sets. It is no problem to meet the current stage, but I have to return to Gua It is not enough for Sha to seize power.

So Zhang Zhao's biggest need now is iron armor. However, with Anxi's primitive iron smelting industry, it is very unrealistic to produce hundreds of sets of iron armor in a short period of time. If you have to look for it, there is only one place that can satisfy it.

That is the treasure treasure buried by the descendants of the Anxi Army. According to Master Daozhen, there is not much gold and silver in the Zhongzhen Treasury. The food and clothing of the people cannot be supplied, how can there be much gold and silver buried in the ground.

But in the Loyalty Treasury, there are two treasures that Zhang Zhao is greedy for. One is that according to the account books handed down, there are at least [-] sets of iron armor such as armor in the Loyalty Treasury, and tens of thousands of catties of pig iron. There are countless halberds.

Zhang Zhao believed this, because the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty was one of the best-equipped troops in the Tang Army. In its heyday, the Anxi Army had [-] to [-] soldiers, and it had hundreds of sets of armor and a large number of weapons. possible.

Although the Loyalty Vault has been buried underground for almost 50 years, as long as it is well preserved and not soaked by water, the weapon may have been damaged, but the armor is still valuable.

Even if there is some damage, it's just rust removal, re-polishing, threading, etc. He did this before time travel, so it shouldn't be difficult to repair the armor.

The second treasure is that there are a large number of precious Buddhist scriptures buried in the Dayun Temple in the Zhongzhen Treasury, the most precious of which are the Sakyamuni Buddha relics that were once stored in the Dayun Temple and the Buddha used when Sakyamuni was born. Nativity bed.

Nowadays, the entire Hexi region is the most Buddhist, especially the people who occupy the surrounding area of ​​Liangzhou are very devout.

The Gamo people are the ancestors of the Liugu tribe in Tubo, and many of them are actually descendants of the Tang people in Longxi. Tantric Buddhism, after the republic, Tibetans still believe in it very devoutly.

If you have the blessings of Buddhist Dharma Protector Garan and Sakyamuni treasures, plus the abbot of Dayun Temple in Liangzhou, you will be a disciple of Sanzang Master Sanghalama.

If Zhang Zhao could bring back thousands of soldiers from Anxi, he might be able to take advantage of the situation and become the second person to take over the end of the army after Gao Pian.

With their support, Zhang Zhao was able to occupy Liangzhou, fight against the Han family of the Lingwu Jiedu envoy and the Li family of the Dingnan army, and then extend his tentacles to the Central Plains.
