Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 169

Outside Guangcheng Castle, the sound of loud drums sounded. The bride A Luoluo was wrapped in various kinds of silk and satin, with gold jewelry pinned on her head, and she was sitting on a very simple walking chariot. own brother.

Surrounding her were hundreds of elite cavalry. As the sun set in the west, the dim yellow sunset cast a layer of dark golden light on the silk and satin on A Luoluo's body, making her look even richer and more gorgeous.

This Uighur bride, who looks like a Han Chinese, looked at her groom, and was so happy that she wanted to jump on the ground to sing and dance. What a beautiful moment this is!Which flower on the prairie can wear silk and satin when she gets married?

This is satin!Silk and satin from Peach Blossom Stone!
Even his husband, the most beloved youngest son of Prudent Master, can only wear a thin strip around his waist to show his wealth.

But she can wrap her whole body with silk and satin, which is at least eleven feet long, which is just enough to make a suit of clothes. Their entire tribe is probably not as valuable as these silk and satin.

What made A Luoluo even more proud was that she was snatched away by her husband with three hundred elite cavalry.

Such three hundred elite riders, not even all the Ye Hus in Bala Sagon.

Then, it is definitely the most beautiful flower that people can send out three hundred fine horses to grab.

It's just a pity that my home is a little far away from Balasagun. It would be even better if it could be snatched away like this outside the city of Balasagun!

The affectionate gaze seemed to melt steel, and Guo Guangcheng could feel A Luoluo's fiery gaze without turning his head.

He suddenly felt a scorching pain in his back, and his legs felt weak for a while. He hit the trembling Guo Guangcheng, and quickly ran towards his father at a faster speed.

"Father! The imperial court is here, Mr. Zhang Erlang from Shazhou came to look for us with his armored cavalry!"

Guo Guangcheng shouted excitedly, while Xuancheng, the prudent master, frowned tightly, with no trace of happiness on his face.

At this juncture when the Persians were about to attack, Mr. Zhang Erlang, who was invited by Titesigu to help him, suddenly played the banner of Datang. It was not a good person!

. . . .

"Chang'an? You ask Chang'an! You ask me how rich Chang'an is? Come here and I'll tell you! Do you think your aunt is pretty?"

At Guo Guangcheng's wedding banquet, Zhang Zhao took off his leather armor and put on a purple robe, with a headband on his head, a goldfish bag on his waist, and an arty folding fan in his hand.

Don’t underestimate this folding fan. First, there were no folding fans in the Tang Dynasty, only tuanfans. Secondly, folding fans represent extremely high craftsmanship.

It can be regarded as a high technology at this time, and most of the places can't get it out of the paper alone.

This vast majority of places is the vast majority of all countries including Datang.

The paper for Zhang Zhao's folding fan is rice paper specially entrusted by a peddler. The price of a piece of rice paper in Anxi is worth twenty sheepskins.

Everyone laughed and pushed a short boy in front of Zhang Zhao. This boy was Guo Guangcheng's nephew, he was fifteen or sixteen years old.

Zhang Zhao laughed loudly and put his arms around the boy's shoulders, "You haven't answered my question yet? Are you beautiful, little aunt?"

If it was in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the bride would have thrown herself into the river if she was molested like this.

But in the Tang Dynasty, especially when Anxi was still a Uyghur, A Luoluo didn't feel embarrassed at all, and even danced a few times proudly, showing everyone her agile figure and the clothes she wore on her body. satin.

The little nephew peeked a few times with a red face, and finally lowered his head and groaned for a long time, "Beautiful! My uncle is blessed!"

"Hahahaha!" The people around were all leaning forward and backward with laughter!

"Then let me tell you, in Chang'an, there are at least ten thousand beauties like your little aunt!" Zhang Zhao said loudly after the laughter.

"Mr. Erlang, you are talking big. How can there be a city with 1 beauties alone? How big is this city? I'm afraid there are [-] million people?"

"Haha, that is, we count everyone in Bala Sagon. I don't know if there are 200,000 people. There are only more than [-] people in Bala Sagon City. What kind of city can have five Bala Sagon people so much?" many?"

There was disbelief all around, and the person who said this was a young man wearing a Nestorian robe, who seemed to have some knowledge, regardless of the fact that he only knew about Bala Sagon.

"There are a lot of people in 1 million? Let me tell you, there are 1 million in Chang'an City alone! If you add the surrounding area, it is at least 2 million or more. There are tens of thousands of pigs and sheep to be killed every day!
Bala Sagon?Bala Sagon is in the Central Plains, which is the size of an inferior state!
You have lived in a place of bitter cold for too long, and you no longer know how prosperous our Tang Dynasty was. You should go out with me to have a look, and learn a lot! "

Zhang Zhao feels like returning to his hometown from a part-time job in the 90s, and then telling the villagers about the prosperity of the big city.

"Let's talk about silk and satin again. Do you know that in the fourth year of Kaiyuan, how much Sichuan brocade was paid to the Ming emperor at one time?" Zhang Zhao stretched out his right hand and shook his fingers three times in a row.

"A full 200,000 horses!"

"Hey!" The people around exclaimed. A piece of silk and satin is about four feet long, that is, about forty feet. The silk and satin on A Luoluo's body that can buy his entire family is only ten feet long, exactly one Zhang, only a quarter of a horse.

"Don't talk about Chang'an, let's just say that when our Anxi four towns were strong, before the Anxi camp entered King Jingqin, there were 200,000 armored soldiers under the command of Commander Gao Jie. [-] to [-] horses, [-] donkeys and mules, swords, guns, swords and halberds are useless.

In addition, it can drive Shule Pei family, Qiuci Bai family, Yanqi Long family, and Khotan Yuchi family's tens of thousands of troops and horses. Even if it is passed to Guo Linggong, there are at least thousands of soldiers and more than 150,000 livestock! "

This time, there was no exclamation around, but silence, because they couldn't imagine what it would be like to have tens of thousands of soldiers.

At this time, the big Anxi country, whether it was the Gaochang Uighur, the Kara Khanate or Khotan, could not produce even [-] iron armored soldiers.

The reason why the Guiyi Army was able to hold on for more than two hundred years in mere Guasha two states was because they held a large number of armor passed down from their ancestors.

With a body size of more than 300,000 or [-] people, it can pull out three or four thousand armored soldiers, and the government soldiers can also make everyone have armor. This is also the confidence that the Guiyi Army often boasts that the Fanhan soldiers are [-] strong.

The reason why the Guo family felt that the Saman Kingdom of Persia was invincible was also because Saman Persia was the only big country in the Anxi River that could have tens of thousands of iron armor.

"Mr. Zhang Erlang, what you said is just a thing of the past! Let alone the thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of livestock of our ancestors, even a hundred sets of armor can't be produced, and there are only more than [-] livestock.

Datang is indeed rich, but it is also a saint, the wealth of high officials and nobles, what does it have to do with my suffering? "

"Haven't asked for advice yet?" Zhang Zhao asked, arching his hands and looking at this handsome middle-aged man with sword eyebrows and star eyes.

"Guo Guangsheng, my father is Xuancheng, the great virtue of prudence, and Guo Guangcheng next to you is a certain younger brother!"

Guo Guangsheng bowed his hand in return, and the surrounding Guo family members were silent. It seems that he should be one of the more authoritative members of the Guo family.

"Brother Guo said something like that, so, I can't agree." Zhang Zhao snapped the folding fan shut and shook his head.

"When the Tang Dynasty was strong, what was Tang'er's status in the land of Anxi? Don't talk about Burke nobles, even if they are the kings of various countries, what is it in Tang'er's eyes? The guardians of various places are the lords of the country!
And now, where are we?In the past, when we stuck to Anxi, a small tribal chieftain dared to bite off a piece of meat from us. How can we say that Datang is only the Datang of saints and dignitaries?
and also!In your Guo family, the old Linggong is the mighty county king, and the Jiedu envoy of the four towns of Anxi. Isn't this a high-ranking official?

Old Linggong's uncle, Guo Taishi (Guo Ziyi), the Duke of Zhongwu County in Fenyang, is the pillar of the country, and his eight sons and eight sons-in-law are all senior officials of the court.

From this door alone, there is a county king, three princes, and four princesses.

Empress Yi'an of the Tang Dynasty, the biological mother of Emperor Wen Huixiao, the Ruisheng of Mumiao, is the granddaughter of Grand Master Guo.

With such a family background, you tell me that you are not royal dignitaries?You told me that the Tang court has nothing to do with you?
Where does this come from?Anxi's poor life has blocked your eyes and ears, have you completely forgotten your family, country and world? "

This is the real blockbuster. These Guo family members were trapped near Balasagun, and they have lived in extreme poverty for generations.

Don't think why Nestorians can live such a good life, Zhang Zhao looked around at the Guo family, all of them were wearing simple linen clothes.

Although it is not so good, but seeing how they scrambled for meat just now, they are not living a rich life.

When the youngest son of a majestic and dignified man gets married, he can only tie a piece of silk around his waist as a sign of wealth.

For the disciples of the Guo family here, it is not bad to have a broken iron sword. Most of them can only have long spears, because they are only equipped with iron spear heads, which are not as good as the current united soldiers in the Central Plains.

The extreme poverty, plus the time spent in hiding for more than a hundred years, has almost worn away the pride in their blood. This time they only want to escape, which is a manifestation.

I hope I can still give them hope and wake them up.

Guo Guangcheng's eyes shot out, and the nephew who was stopped by Zhang Zhao also looked yearning, and everyone's gnawing movements slowed down.

They never thought that the Guo family could be so rich in the Central Plains, and even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was born to their daughters of the Guo family.

"I don't want my ancestors to be so rich! It's really embarrassing!"

Guo Guangcheng threw away the sheep bone in his hand in shame, only to feel that the delicious meat suddenly became tasteless.

"A certain Guo Guangsheng met Mr. Zhang Erlang. He is the eldest son of the Guo family. Mr. Erlang called me Guo Dalang!"

Guo Guangsheng also grumbled in shame for a while, finally tidied up his clothes, and solemnly informed Zhang Zhao of his name.

"Guo Dalang?" This name, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment, and he even whispered it softly, but he knew right away that something bad was going to happen.

Sure enough, Guo Guangsheng, who was still ashamed, turned ugly. He looked at Zhang Zhao with a bit of anger.

"It seems that Mr. Erlang must have found people from several other families. That's right, Guo Dalang, who was called a traitor by them 60 years ago, is the grandfather of a certain person!"

"Guo Jia Dalang, Zheng Tong, you are older than XX, XX should call you elder brother, 60 years ago, it was indeed our father and grandparents who wronged Grandfather Ling!"

Huitong monk Zheng Tong came out from behind Zhang Zhao, his face full of discomfort.

"That's wrong! Hmph! It's not bad! You Zheng, Yang, Li, and Lu families finally don't think my grandfather is a traitor?
My grandpa has no bones left. Grandpa's three younger brothers and more than a dozen direct nephews have all died in Xizhou. How can such a person become a traitor?
Even if you are a traitor, you should come to pick up us traitors in the future and enjoy the glory and wealth. How can you be a traitor of the whole family after your own death? "

Guo Guangsheng's handsome face was full of distortions. Sure enough, Zhang Zhao's guess was right. The Guo family still had lumps in their hearts about what happened to them.

"Guo Dalang, although your family is also dead, but look around, just here, there are probably hundreds of men in your Guo family!

Then look at our Li family. 60 years ago, a certain Li family was also a big family with hundreds of men, but Xizhou was captured. My Li family was responsible for the termination. A hundred or so people went, and only a dozen returned. 60 Years later, the clan of hundreds of people is almost extinct!

How is this compared to your Guo family?Back then, your grandfather Guo Dalang was the leader of our family of five surnames and three kings. Could it be that the fall of Xizhou was not the responsibility of your ancestors? "
