Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 187

Shule Palace, Li Shengtian had just finished processing a large number of reports, and he felt a little dizzy.

This king, who is not usually very diligent, has been quite concerned about state affairs in the past three or four months.

Every day before the sun rises, I start to deal with government affairs. Except for a short break at noon, I basically wait until the sun goes down before going back to the harem to rest.

This is Shule Xinding, and there are indeed many special things to appease the surrounding tribes and deal with the Gaochang Uighurs who want to come over to get a share of the pie.

It is also said that after Saktu fled to the Ge Luolu tribe in the land of seven rivers, he gradually gained a firm foothold and other things, which left him no time to rest.

What's more, he was stimulated by Zhang Zhao. This nephew was invincible in foreign wars. His uncle couldn't compare with Zhang Zhao in military matters. How could he be compared in internal affairs?
Cao Yuanxin took a bowl of stewed chicken soup distressedly, brought it to Li Shengtian, and pinched his shoulders for him.

As a result, before Li Shengtian had time to take a sip, the chief officer came in with an urgent letter affixed with brightly colored wild pheasant feathers.

"Son of Heaven, eight hundred li urgent delivery of Bala Sagon!"

Li Shengtian stood up with a whoosh. Before the personal servant brought the letter over, he went to get it by himself. After a while, he let out a long breath.

"Erlang did a good job! First, he lured the enemy to go deep, and then he led his elite to interrupt the food road in the mountains and forests.

He then ordered Ruotai and Bai Congxin to lead fine cavalry to raid and burn his granary, while Ma Jirong led the crowd to stick to Bala Sagon.

After forcing the Persians to have to retreat, they will be killed with a large army!Come on, Liu Niang, take a look too! "

Li Shengtian happily read the hundreds of words twice before handing them to Cao Yuanxin.

In fact, after Zhang Zhao left, Li Shengtian regretted and worried a little. Shule and Balasagun were separated by thousands of miles. In fact, even if Balasagun did not defend, the Persians would not choose to continue to attack Shule.

The reason why Li Shengtian let Zhang Zhao go was because he was a little intoxicated with his status as a keeper of Buddhism, and secondly because he had a slight fear of Zhang Zhao.

But not long after Zhang Zhao left, Li Shengtian regretted it. Zhang Zhao insisted that he would only take 2000 people away, saying that soldiers are more expensive than many.

But the Saman Kingdom of Persia is also a prosperous country in the middle of the river, and it is easy to mobilize tens of thousands of people. If something happens to Zhang Zhao, how will he face his elder sister and Zhang Zhao's contribution to the Tianjin Kingdom?

But it's okay now, Zhang Zhao finally won another big victory, not only he was fine, but also helped the Khotan Jin Kingdom to shake up the prestige again.

"It seems that Erlang is really a natural born general! He also said in the letter that the army led by Ali Dulav, the Governor of Tashkent in the Persian Saman Kingdom, is not as large as the Gulam guards in Saktu.

Its soldiers and armor are not good, its horses are not raised properly, and its soldiers are arrogant and lazy. From this point of view, the Saman kingdom of Persia is already in decline.

As long as we are ready to send troops to the Khan country, we will surely win the battle and become the foundation of the Khotan Dajin Kingdom for thousands of years. "

Cao Yuanxin was also overjoyed, the more territory Zhang Zhao conquered, the more territory Zhang Zhao conquered, and it was all for her son Li Congde.

It seems that my decision is correct. When the time comes, De'er will control the Anxi prosperous country like Khotan, and Zhang Erlang will break through Ganliang and rebuild the rebel army. The two countries will share the benefits of the Silk Road, and Cao and Zhang will share the country forever. .

"That's right! Poluzhou defeated [-] with [-], and this time in Balasagun, it defeated [-] with more than [-]. The next time, it was one against ten. That's what happened to the famous generals of this dynasty!"

Li Shengtian fully agreed. When Zhang Zhao grabbed his sleeve and shouted "Don't leave your children and grandchildren worrying about you", Li Shengtian never thought that the victory would come so quickly and so easily.

The [-] troops he enlisted did not have much effect, Zhang Zhao defeated the enemy by himself.

The vision between the two of them for the future of the Kingdom of Tian, ​​now only the region of the Khanna Kingdom remains unconquered, and it seems that it is not difficult.

"Did Burke of Yusupu of Andukang reply to the letter recently?" Thinking of this, Li Shengtian asked the chief officer who brought the urgent hand over.

Andukang is the later Andijan of the Fergana Basin. This city is the throat for Shule to enter the Fergana Basin. Although the city is not big, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Yusupbok is a general under the command of Saktu. After the Kara Khanate conquered most of the Fergana Basin, Yusup was appointed by Saktu as the governor of Andukang, and he was stationed in the original Khanna country. Cyprus.

In the past few months, Li Shengtian has been trying to appease Yu Supu, but his attitude has always been very ambiguous. Because of his belief, he may fall to the Persian Samantha.

The chief officer shook his head, "Going back to the Son of Heaven, I have been paying close attention, but there has never been an envoy from Andu Kang!"

"I don't know what is good or bad!" Li Shengtian turned his face black, "This Yu Supu is really shameless, does he really think that he dare not send soldiers to punish him?

Send a verbatim copy of Mr. Zhang's urgent delivery to Yu Supu, and tell him that a certain person is waiting for him for two months at most. One hundred thousand heroes, let him be wiped out! "

After the Chief of Staff went out, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Cao Yuanxin's mouth, not because of An Dukang's affairs, but because of Zhang Zhao.

"Son of Heaven, Zhang Erlang has made such a great contribution now, how should he be rewarded? He is only 20 years old, and he is already the governor of Polu Prefecture. He already owns Polu Prefecture. You can't seal him another piece of land, right? "

Li Shengtian was in a frame immediately. This is really not because his uncle, the emperor, is jealous, but because there is really nothing to reward.

At the age of 20 years old, Zhang Zhao has tens of thousands of people in a state, which is already outrageous. The Khotan Jin Kingdom is only this big, and if it is rewarded again, a whole country will be sealed off.

"Son of Heaven, the Bala Shagun Mountain is far away, so it's not as good as"

Before Cao Yuanxin could finish his sentence, the chief officer ran in again.

"I tell the Son of Heaven that Bala Sagon has arrived in another eight hundred miles. It is extremely urgent. When the messenger arrives, three of the horses ran away and died."

Hearing what the chief officer said, Li Shengtian and Cao Yuanxin hurried over to pick it up, and then they had weird and helpless expressions on their faces.

Because Zhang Zhao sent out the [-]-mile express delivery overnight, and several horses ran away and died, it was sent after he wiped out the Pugu Naluo family.

"Balashagun, Yehu and the leaders of Buddha, Jing, and Mani religions invited Zhang Jungong to be Ju'er Khan, and he will be in Balashagun forever.

He also mobilized [-] troops to recover the cities east of Talas, where Ye Hupu Gu's family gathered a crowd for rebellion and was killed.

Master Titexigu, the abbot of the Burana Great Buddhist Temple, invited Shule to preside over the rebuilding of Dayun Temple, and invited Guo Xuanqing to stay behind for Balasagun. "

Cao Yuanxin finished reading the above content word by word, and a few drops of crystal sweat could not help oozing from his forehead.

None of these incidents is trivial, especially the matter that Bala Sagon's Zhuyehu and the leaders of the three religions recommended Zhang Zhao as Ju'er Khan. What is he trying to do?
"Did Liu Niang just want to say that why don't we find a piece of land in Balasagun and distribute it to Zhang Erlang?" Li Shengtian asked Cao Yuanxin with a wry smile.

Cao Yuanxin also smiled wryly and nodded, "I wanted to talk about this, but look, what our nephew wants is not a piece of land, but the whole Bala Sagon, isn't he shouting to return to the east?" ? What is this for?"

Li Shengtian slowly sat back on the chair, took a sip of the already cold chicken soup.

"Wait! Someone estimates that the third messenger should arrive soon, maybe tomorrow morning.

If Zhang Erlang really wants to establish himself as Bala Shagun Juer Khan, he will never tell you and me so clearly. I guess the next letter will explain all this! "

Zhang Zhao did send out the third [-]-mile express delivery, and he really wanted to explain it clearly to Li Shengtian.

But before the explanation, after three pushes and three concessions, after Yan Jin led [-] troops back to Balasagun, Zhang Zhao was ready to formally accept the honorary title of Ju'erhan given to him by Balasaragon and Ye Hu.

Although such an honorary title is useless to Zhang Zhao who is about to return east, but in the long run, it is very useful.

Because after he entered the Central Plains, this Khan title and this title will become the basis for his strong claim to the Karakhan nomads in the area of ​​Balasagun.

Amidst the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, Zhang Zhao led the crowd to hold a grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky by the Chu River.

The title of Khan on the grassland generally has two sources, one is blood, and the other is winning elections by strength.

Zhang Zhao overthrew Ali Duraf, governor of Saman Postashgan, with one enemy and ten thousand, and killed the whole family of Pugunaro. This is the embodiment of strength.

So today he can get this recommendation, the source is that he can 'protect' the living people of Balasagun.

After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was completed, Zhang Zhao quickly began to arrange his own left-behind team.

Guo Xuanqing, the majestic virtuoso who took refuge in Zhang Zhao, got the post of Bala Sagon without any surprise. After Zhang Zhaodong returned, Guo Xuanqing took the lead in all matters of Bala Sagon.

Behind it is the Council of Elders. According to the size of the tribe, there are different seats for elders. A total of 55 seats for elders have been prepared.

Don't think that the parliament is a very advanced thing, and it sounds like a modern thing. In fact, this model has existed for a long time.

Just in Saman Persia, people also have a state council called Diwan. The Turks and Uyghurs have long had a model where kings and nobles discuss affairs together, so this council of elders was easily accepted by everyone.

In addition to being in charge of all the tyrants and the council of elders, Balasakon also has a minister in charge of military affairs, taxation, and household registration.

At the local level, seven governor's mansions were set up: Talas, Baishuihu City, Julan City, Ashi Bulai City, Dongcheng City, He Lie City, and Yezhi City.

Among them, Talas City set up the West Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which governs Baishui Hucheng and Julan City. Li Guoshou, the father-in-law of Ayiguli and the fifth grandson of Li Sizhong, king of Huaining County in the Tang Dynasty, was the governor of the West Metropolitan Government.

So far, the political framework of Balasagun has been set up.

In addition, Zhang Zhao also obtained [-] mu of fertile land and a large number of grasslands in the original Datang Suiye Army Tunnel on both sides of the Chu River.

He planned to allocate [-] mu of fertile land and five pastures to Li Shengtian, and at the same time planned to bring Balasagon into Khotan's sphere of influence.

This kind of Ju Er Khan is just a literal meaning-glory Khan, not the kind of Khan who is the only one who respects me.

Putting Ju Erhan under the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, and dividing the fertile land and pastures, this is considered to have given Li Shengtian enough face.

This is also beneficial to Zhang Zhao, because he wants to move the 20,000 people of the [-] tents of the Bashimi tribe Ashinachu to Balasagun as his direct tribe.

This is the younger brother he recruited so hard, and he promised to give him a place to settle down, and now he finally did not break his promise.

Once Ashina Chuan was settled, Zhang Zhao could rest assured that his son Ashina Sili's three hundred Qingqi could be called by his side.
