Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 170 The beginning of everything is difficult
The five surnames refer to the descendants of Anxi's Jiedu envoy, Jiedu deputy envoy, and guard envoy. There are five major surnames: Guo, Li, Yang, Zheng, and Lu.

The Three Kings family refers to the Hu people's royal family that defended together with the Anxi army, that is, the four surnamed royal families of the Shule Pei family, the Qiuci Bai family, the Yanqi Long family, and the Bahan Naxue family.

Later, the Yanqilong family moved eastward to Suzhou, and thus became the family of the Three Kings. Of course, they were not all of the Anxi Army, and there were also minor surnames such as Luo and Su among them.

Guo Guangsheng was speechless at Li Qilang's words, because Guo Guangsheng sometimes thought about this matter. The other four surnames and the three Wang families were all headed by his grandfather. Everyone was ambushed and suffered heavy losses. His grandfather Guo Dalang naturally had to bear the greatest responsibility. .

The surrounding Guo family also fell silent. Although their Guo family is living a hard life now, there are still more than [-] people living there.

There are as many as six or seven thousand tribes around them who are united by Nestorianism and under the command of their Guo family.

But as for the Li family, after the Li family was ordered to end, they were almost extinct.

"This is all in the past, your grandfather was misunderstood, then we should clarify this misunderstanding, it's not good to feel resentful.

You have grievances, so what do the Li family who were almost wiped out think?
Back then, the five surnames and the three kings were as close as brothers, and they fought against Tubo together and supported each other. If your ancestors knew that you were against each other, how could there be peace under the nine springs? "

Zhang Zhao took Li Qilang's hand, brought him and Zheng Tong in front of Guo Guangsheng, and gently persuaded him.

However, the atmosphere was still somewhat awkward. After all, decades of misunderstandings would not be resolved just because of Zhang Zhao's few words.

But Zhang Zhao has a way. Since the misunderstanding cannot be solved for the time being, let's set up a common enemy first.

"Guo Dalang, don't you want to know who framed your ancestors 60 years ago? Don't you want to know who the so-called angel and Yixi Jiedushi are?"

"Mr. Erlang has found out who it is? Please let me know!"

Guo Guangsheng immediately cupped his hands at him, yes!Since they came to us and admitted that his grandfather was not a traitor back then, they must know who it is!

"This person is the first Great Khan of the Gaochang Uyghur Khanate, Gu Jun, the fourth ancestor of the Uyghur Uyghur Khan of today's Gaochang."

Guo Guangsheng's face changed dramatically when he heard that, and Zhang Zhao continued to say, "Actually, my ancestor Zhang Yi Chaogong overthrew the Tubo tyranny, and got in touch with the imperial court through Ganliang.

If he knew that his grandfather was still struggling in Kucha, he would definitely lead the army westward. Unfortunately, the two sides did not know each other's existence, otherwise the situation in Anxi would be very different. "

As Zhang Zhao said, he simply talked about why Pu Gujun, the founder of Gaochang Uyghur, chose to ambush the Kucha Anxi Army and other things. Everyone present gritted their teeth and sighed.

The Anxi Army in Kucha persisted until 840 before canceling the title of Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty, and it was really unable to defend Kucha in 860.

However, Zhang Yichao's Juyi in Shazhou was completed in 848, and the recovery of the six Hexi counties was only completed in 863.

If the two sides could know each other's existence, and even Tang Ting at that time was a little more tolerant to the Guiyi Army, the situation might be completely different.

Moreover, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but start thinking differently. If the Guiyi Army could get in touch with the rest of the Anxi Army, it is very likely that they would not send Pugu Jun to the west, but Zhang Yichao's son-in-law Li Mingzhen or Suo Xun go.

In this case, there will be no Gaochang Uyghurs, and Guo Dalang will not be ambushed. After all, Li Mingzhen and Suo Xun are not Uyghurs, and even if they want to separate, they will not harm the Anxi army.

If these two places are in Tang'er's hands, plus Li Shengtian's Khotan Kingdom, it is very likely that there will be a super large Guiyi army dominated by Tang'er in the northwest.

If there is such a Guiyi army, even if there is an alliance, it is very likely that Xixia of the Li family of the Dingnan army will not become bigger.

Perhaps the overland Silk Road could still play a certain role in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the city of Kaifeng would not have to bear such a heavy responsibility. The historical disaster of Jingkang and other bad things might not happen.

Zhang Zhao's thoughts had already gone to the horizon, and the faces of the Guo family members over there were already flushed with anger.

Just like Zheng Tong and Li Qilang back then, they deeply felt the pain of being cheated by the loyal court.

And there is no way to avenge this revenge, so with the current size of the Guo family of seven or eight hundred men, it is undoubtedly a dream to seek revenge from the Gaochang Uighur Khanate with a population of nearly [-] to [-] and a population of more than [-].

"Brother, why worry, Pugu Jun deceived us with a human face and animal heart, this is not the enmity of your Guo family, but the enmity of all the descendants of our five surnames and three kings, and the entire Anxi army.

Although the Gaochang Uyghur Khanate is quite powerful, there are so many ants that can kill elephants. If we can unite, there may not be a day when we will not have revenge.

What's more, Mr. Zhang Erlang is still there. Mr. Zhang Erlang is a descendant of Mr. Zhang Yichao's blood, and the nephew of the great sage emperor of Khotan.

Now he is the Duke of Fengtian County in the Jin Kingdom of Khotan, the governor of Poluzhou, and hundreds of brave soldiers under his command.

Under the city of Polu, with two or three thousand soldiers, the Bugla Khan Saktu's [-] elite cavalry will be defeated. If Zhang Erlang lord helps, great things will happen! "

It was still Huitong monk Zheng Tong who knew how to be a man, and when he called out his elder brother, he immediately drew the distance between Guo Dalang and Guo Guangsheng, and then gave Zhang Zhao a good time, which immediately made the Guo family present find their backbone. a feeling of.

Guo Guangsheng and Guo Guangcheng looked at Zhang Zhao with wide eyes, and Guo Guangcheng even opened his mouth wide in astonishment.

"You are Zhang Jungong invited by Master Titexigu? The golden armored general Zhang Erlang who defeated the enemy ten times stronger and beat Buglahan Saktu to the ground?"

The Guo brothers, like Master Titesigu, could not at all regard the young man in front of him who looked more than 20 years old as the legendary Golden Armored God of War Zhang Jungong.

They all thought that Zhang Zhao was Zhang Jungong's nephew or younger brother or something. After all, it was unimaginable that a 20-year-old young man could beat a well-recognized hero like Buglahan Saktu in Anxi so embarrassingly.

"That's right! That's Zhang Zhao, Duke of Fengtian County in Khotan. The two of you may not know that this one came to Anxi not to join his uncle's family, but to look for you, the descendants of the Anxi army."

Zhang Zhao didn't expect that he would have such a title as the Golden Armored God of War, but this is quite in line with the naming habits of people in this era.

This is the benefit of fame!After exploding Shule City, Li Shengtian dared to hand over the elite to himself and agreed to his extremely bold plan. After destroying Saktu, even the people in Bala Shagun knew his name.

"Sin! Sin! Please forgive us for our negligence. Please wait a moment, Mr. Zhang."

Knowing that Zhang Zhao is the rightful lord, and that he may become the lord of Bala Sagon in the future, even though Guo Guangsheng felt that he had no hope of keeping Bala Sagon, he still dared not neglect Zhang Zhao's identity.

After first asking Zhang Zhao to forgive his sin, he turned around and shouted orders to the people in Guangcheng Castle.

"Father, please open the door to welcome me. This is the visit of Duke Zhang of the Kingdom of Jin in Khotan!"

Only then did Zhang Zhao discover that this place outside Guangcheng Fort, decorated with simple stones and a few strips of silk cloth, looked like a place for an open-air barbecue meeting, and it was not Guo Guangcheng's main wedding venue. Nor is it the most core child of the Guo family.

Moreover, Guo Guangcheng's marriage will not be held today, because A Luoluo was snatched back, and before that, the time for the wedding ceremony has passed long ago.

Although he just snatched her back, the wedding has been postponed, and the auspicious day is two days later.

With a bang, the gate of Guangcheng Fort opened. In order to guard against various dangers, Guangcheng Fort generally only opened two small doors for entry and exit.

On both sides of the gate, two rows of warriors with horizontal knives slung at their waists, wearing leather armor, red cloth strips wrapped around their heads, and net scarves stood motionless, finally gaining some prestige.

At the end of the two rows of warriors, an old man wearing a vermilion crotchless shirt, a headband, and a well-groomed beard was walking towards Zhang Zhao with two similarly dressed people.

"Therefore, Zuo Pushe, the Chancellor of the Tang Dynasty, Jiedu Envoy of the Four Towns of Anxi, and Guo Xuanli, the sixth grandson of King Guo Yuxin of Wuwei County, have met Zhang Jungong, the governor of Polu Prefecture of the Great Jin Kingdom!"

Guo Xuanli didn't mention his name of Nestorian Prudence Master Xuancheng, but followed Tang'er's rules, he bowed to Zhang Zhao to the end.

"Guo Gong is the elder, how dare the boy accept the gift from the elder!" Zhang Zhao rushed over in a few big strides, and supported Guo Xuanli, who was almost sixty years old.

Guo Xuanli looked much older from a close distance than from a distance. His old face was full of years of wind and frost, the hair on his head was almost completely white, and his hands were as rough as old tree bark. He didn't look like a person of status at all.

"I would like to thank Lord Zhang for your righteous deed! If the black hair of the Black Wolf Department really took away my daughter-in-law, what face will the old man and the Guo family have standing here!"

As soon as he got up, Guo Xuanli was about to pull his two sons to bow down to Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao was a little upset and hurried to work again, and helped the father and son up.

Although Guo Xuanli showed great gratitude and respect to him, in fact, there was a sense of alienation from inside to outside.

The old man, half buried in the ground, knew that Zhang Zhao was looking for them, but he insisted on bowing down continuously.

You must know that in this era, people over 60 years old generally do not kneel when they meet an official, let alone the relationship between the two parties.

Guo Xuanli obviously wanted to use a few big gifts to separate the newly established intimacy between the two parties.

After some back and forth, Zhang Zhao smiled lightly. Guo Xuanli wanted to hold himself up high and use Tian Jin to dilute the relationship between the two parties as Tang'er, but he couldn't make his wish come true.

"I just heard that all the brothers and uncles outside the castle can speak Chinese, and their gestures are more elegant. In this barren land on the edge of Bala Sagon, after more than a hundred years after the Tang Dynasty withdrew from the Western Regions, they can still not forget their blood. Guogong takes credit for that." Really great! I guess there must be ethnology in this city, right?"

"Your majesty is absurd! Don't forget your homeland, don't forget your blood, these are the ancestral precepts passed down by my ancestor Guo Linggong, and of course future generations must always keep them in mind."

Although I don't know what Zhang Zhao wants to do, but Guo Xuanli is most proud of being able to maintain his own culture after leaving his homeland for almost 200 years.

Hearing Zhang Zhao's praise right now, he was a little wary, but he couldn't help but feel a little elated.

"In the castle, there is a place for future generations to learn some sages' words, but they dare not call it ethnology. It's very simple! It's very simple!"

Guo Xuanli kept being modest, but the young Guo Guangcheng couldn't help but interjected.

"Guangcheng Castle is indeed a bit rudimentary, but the Guo family school in He Liecheng has [-] rooms alone, which is better than the place where we all live!"

"Admiration! Mr. Guo is too modest, but He Liecheng can't go, can you let me go down here to learn about the clan?" Zhang Zhaoyou put on a show and cupped his hands.

"If Mr. Guo doesn't mind, when he came down, he brought some food and wine from the old country of the Central Plains. Can you let the brothers and uncles outside go in together, and after visiting the ethnology, we all have a good time.

I have never seen so many Tang'er together in the land of Anxi! "

Guo Xuanli didn't know what Zhang Zhao's idea was, but he knew he couldn't refuse.

Because there was going to be a big banquet today, but the wedding was postponed because of an almost embarrassing situation, and many slaughtered cattle and sheep were not cooked, which caused the clansmen who came to help the workers to not have enough to eat.

Now when they heard that Zhang Zhao had wine and meat, they all began to clamor in the background. For them, eating meat is really a beautiful thing!

So Guo Xuanli just hesitated for a moment, then bowed his hands to Zhang Zhao.

"Then let the magistrate spend the money!"
