Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 202
The approximate location of Kesai City is near Namangan, the capital of Mangan State in later Uzbekistan, which is the center of the Fergana Basin.

The reason why the Fergana Basin is so important is because it has the most self-sufficient agriculture in the entire river area.

The reason for the level of the basin is that the surrounding snow-capped mountains melt water and the water source is particularly abundant, so the conditions for the development of planting agriculture are particularly favorable.

At the same time, the surrounding high mountains provide a large amount of lush vegetation, which can be used to raise cattle and sheep.

The Yaoshashui (Dyr Darya River) across the basin provides extremely convenient transportation conditions.

We must know that it was difficult to build roads in ancient times, and most of the transportation relied on water transportation. Only when water transportation is developed can agriculture and commerce be developed.

Yaoshashui is located in the Fergana Basin, the river is wide, the water depth is moderate, and the flow rate is moderate. As long as a few water conservancy projects are built to prevent sudden snowmelt floods, the conditions can be called unique.

With these excellent conditions, the Fergana Basin has gradually become the foundation of the king and hegemony in the river. As long as you can master it, you can fight in all directions, and retreat to retreat. It is simply the Guanzhong Plain in the river.

Therefore, this self-contained Fergana Basin was skillfully assigned to three countries by the Tsarist Russian government in the Tsarist Russian era.

That is Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.

The purpose is to ensure that no one can monopolize this blessed land of abundance, so that no powerful country can be born that can continue to make trouble for Tsarist Russia.

At this time, the basin, which had begun to show the charm of its rich land, was also divided into three parts.

It is located in Andukang and its surroundings, which was just captured by Zhang Zhao in the northeast.

Controlling the most fertile land in the central part, Yusupu, the former governor of the Kara Khanate, Bakhanna, was beaten behind closed doors.

And the Persian Samantha Hakem and Abdul who control the Taniguchi Juzhanti area in the southwest.

Yang Tongyi, Yang Shouli and his son, Xue Shouli and Zheng Shouli walked through groups of elite soldiers in blue and black cotton armor and walked towards the center of the camp without turning their eyes.

From the break of Andu Kangcheng to marching all the way to thirty miles outside Kesai City, the king Zhang who sent the horse general to save their lives never summoned them, which made the hearts of Yang Tongyi and the other four always feel suspended with.

At first, Yang Tongyi thought that King Zhang would definitely summon them immediately, after all, there are more than [-] people with three surnames in New Kucha.

There are so many Tang'er, not to mention Anxi, even in Hexi, they are very precious. King Zhang has won their allegiance, so why don't you rush to appease them?
But after waiting for more than a month, the appeasement they saw never came, and the four of them couldn't help but feel drums in their hearts. If they didn't say anything else, just seeing King Zhang, a warrior in the Fengtian Camp of the Fengtian Army, shocked them unceasingly.

Because of this powerful army, even iron armor is not rare, among which there are at least four hundred sets of blue and black cotton armor.

Yang Shouli had seen this kind of armor at Ma Jiang Tou, it was light, strong and convenient, it was definitely the best armor he had ever seen.

Four hundred soldiers in cotton armor and more than three horses, for Anxi, this is a force capable of destroying a country.

If you count the iron armor, the [-] warriors in the entire Fengtian Camp have a [-]% armored rate, and the [-] warriors in the Bao Daying Camp can also have an armored rate of more than [-]%.

These two thousand and two hundred warriors have both horse and infantry, and each infantry is equipped with two horses. Each fireman also has a donkey and a camel to carry other supplies.

It is said that there are both horse and infantry troops, but in fact they are not less mobile than those teams that are all light cavalry.

So not to mention the more than 200 elites under the command of King Zhang from the Kingdom of Khotan, the [-] people of the Fengtian Army alone, King Zhang is enough to run rampant in the Western Regions. Whether there are hundreds of young men with the three surnames of New Kucha, it is really a question. big.

"Duke Yang please hurry up, brothers please hurry up!" Of course Zhang Zhao would not reveal that he was deliberately ignoring Yang Tongyi and others first, on the contrary he seemed particularly excited.

Of course, he should be excited. King Zhang still hopes to see them, but the shadow of the Guo family is still there. He feels that he should be more reserved, so that it will be easier to manage in the future.

The more important reason is that Zhang Zhao's side has many soldiers and few people, and when they return to Hexi, once these seven thousand Tang'er get a stable living environment, the population will inevitably increase dramatically.

If they continue to hold together like this, I am afraid that in more than ten years, they will become a large-scale noble group under Zhang Zhao's command.

So he wanted to directly break the pattern of the three surnames in New Kucha at the very beginning and divide them.

"These two are brothers Guo Guangsheng and Guo Guangcheng. In the past, Guo Dalang was their grandfather. This is Guo Tiance, the nephew of Guangsheng and Guangcheng."

After helping the four of Yang Tongyi up, Zhang Zhao introduced Guo Xuanli's two sons and Guo Tiance to Yang Tongyi and the other four.

"According to the order of the descendants of our Anxi Army, the old man is going to call two uncles!" Yang Tongyi stroked his beard with a little embarrassment on his face.

Guo Guangsheng and Guo Guangcheng's father, Guo Xuanli, was the posthumous son of Guo Dalang in the past.

Then Guo Xuanli's personal problems were resolved too late, and Guo Guangsheng, who was in his forties, turned out to be the uncle of Yang Tongyi, a man in his fifties.

Not to mention Guo Guangcheng, he is younger and has become a veritable little uncle.

Of course, no matter how old you are, if you are an elder, you are still an elder. Now a group of descendants of the Anxi army are lining up together, and Zhang Zhao introduces them from the side, and he is also deeply moved.

At that time, the families of the five surnames and three kings of the Anxi Army, the Lu family of the guardian envoy of Shule, the Pei family of the Shule king, the Bai family of the Qiuci king, and the Li family of Li Yuanzhong, the king of Ningsai County, the Jiedu envoy of Beiting, had withered talents, and even 100 people I can't get it all together.

Among them, the Bai family is the worst, the descendants can no longer be found, almost extinct, and the Pei family still has a little branch.

There are only nine people left in the Li family, including Li Qilang, and only two men. There may be some descendants of the Lu family, at least the traitor Lu Sanlang is still alive.

But apart from the miserable four families, Guo, Yang, Zheng and the Xue family, the royal family of Bahan, persisted.

The Guo family is the largest with more than 2000 people, followed by the Yang family with more than [-] people. The Zheng and Xue families each have more than [-] people and [-] people.

However, although it is regrettable, almost all the descendants of the Anxi army have been found.

At the same time, Zhang Zhao's harvest was not small. He took away three hundred sons from the Guo family, among whom there were more than thirty who could read and write. In addition, the Guo family also recruited two hundred Nestorian knights for him.

This is quite a lot, because the Guo family itself is only more than a thousand strong, and Zhang Zhao took away about [-]% in one go.

As for the three surnames Yang, Zheng, and Xue in New Kucha, it seems that almost all the members are going to return east with him.

Very good, even if he returns to Dunhuang now, Zhang Zhao still has nearly ten thousand tribesmen, five hundred armored soldiers, more than six hundred elite light cavalry and more than two hundred armored cavalry.

It is not realistic for these people to fight the Uighurs in Ganzhou, but it should be enough to go back to Dunhuang to seize power.

"A lonely city thousands of miles away, full of white-haired soldiers. Born as the Han family, died as the soul of Tang's children."

Zhang Zhao sang two lines of poems softly, which didn't rhyme very well and didn't show much literary talent, but this was the best description of the heroic soul of the Tang Dynasty who had been alone in Anxi for hundreds of years.

Many people think that this is an ancient poem, but it is not. It is from the UnionPay short film "The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty".

Guo Tiance, who was standing behind Zhang Zhao, clapped his hands, and a group of soldiers brought in the portraits one after another. Yang Shouli looked up, and they were in order:
The Great Protector of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty, the Jiedu Envoy of the Four Towns, and Guo Gong, the king of Wuwei County, tabooed Xin.

Great Protector of the Northern Court of the Tang Dynasty, Li Gong, King of Ningsai County, tabooed Yuanzhong.

The Great Protector of the North Court of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Gong tabooed to inherit the ancients.

General Wuwei of the Tang Dynasty, ambassador of the Khotan army, Khotan guard envoy, and Zheng Gong's taboo.

The envoy of Yanqi in the Tang Dynasty, the magistrate of Shule Pianzhou City, and Yang Gong, the general manager of Yanqi, taboo Riyou.

The guardian of Shule in the Tang Dynasty, the Duke of Lu tabooed Yang.

The loyal vassal of the Tang Dynasty, the king of Kucha, Baigong, was taboo.

King Pei of Shule was indifferent.

Xue Gong, the king of Pullhana, concealed it.

Only then did Yang Shouli know that the reason why Ma Yaozi and Ma Jiangtou came to him a few days ago to ask for the portraits of the ancestors of the three surnames in New Kucha was that King Zhang wanted to use them here.

"Although XX is not a descendant of the Anxi Army, since XX can remember, he has heard about the deeds of the Anxi Lone Army and Iron Blood County King Guo Linggong from his ancestors.

In the past, a certain great-grandfather Taibao wanted to send troops to rescue him several times, but he failed, and villains like Pu Gujun took advantage of the loophole.

But today, God bless me and wait for Tang Er, I can lead [-] lions to this place, and find the descendants of all heroes.

Before I found you, a certain Zhang Erlang, Shule fought to regain his homeland, Polu Prefecture fought, Saktu fled desperately, Suiye fought, the Persians were terrified, and today they came outside Kesai City, and they will definitely fight It depends!

Because this battle is over, the mission in Anxi has been completed, and it's time for us to bring the spirits of our ancestors back to the east, and let their spirits rest in peace in the dreaming homeland!

From today onwards, there are no people with the three surnames of Xinqiuci, no Suiye Guo family, and no remnants of Dayun Temple. There is only one name here, and that is the adherents of the Tang Dynasty!
Today a certain brought the heroic statues of your ancestors to this place, just to let them witness with their own eyes how our descendants inherited their heroism, killed all of them without leaving behind, and reappeared the glory of the Tang Dynasty! "

Zhang Zhao gave an impassioned speech, and everyone in the room was beyond excited, but Yang Tongyi and his son Yang Shouli looked at each other, and what King Zhang said was very clear. From now on, there will be no new Kucha family, only the survivors of the Tang Dynasty.

Then, as the leader of the three surnames in New Kucha, it is inevitable that the Yang family's superficial strength will be damaged.

Because as long as they agree, they will lose the leadership of the other two families. Although Zheng and Xue are still very close to them, they are no longer a whole.

There was a faint smile on Yang Shouli's face, but his eyes were tilted to the corners. He was observing Zheng Shouli and Xue Shouli beside him.

Zheng Shouli's out of the corner of his eye also caught Yang Shouli's face, and the two of them were taken aback in embarrassment, then quickly moved away.

Xue Shouli didn't even look at Yang Shouli, but his face was filled with excitement of finally finding the organization.

Yang Shouli looked at the statue of Yang Riyou, the guardian envoy of Yanqi, his ancestor, and then at the brothers around him, and scenes of the past emerged in his mind.

For more than [-] years since he remembered, Buglahan Saktu of the Kara Khanate, Yusup, the governor of Rahana, and Hakem of the Saman Persians.

They all regarded the people of the three surnames in Xinqiuci as cattle and sheep born in the wild, oppressing them wantonly and even arresting and beating them.

The root of all this is because they have no backer, and they have lost their powerful motherland.

"Your Majesty! The descendants of Lord Yang Riyou, the guardian of Yanqi, are willing to obey your orders, even if they go up the mountain of swords or down into the sea of ​​fire, they will have no complaints!"

After Yang Shouli and his father Yang Tongyi looked at each other, he was the first to stand up. Instead of using the name of the three surnames of Xinqiuci, he used the name of the Yang family.

"Your Majesty! The descendants of Zheng Gong, the guardian of Khotan, and the descendants of Xue Gong, the king of Bahana, are also willing to follow you to defeat the Persian captives and escort the ancestors back to the east!"

Zheng Shouli and Xue Shouli breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward at the same time.

The Guo family, the Li family, and the monks and soldiers of Dayun Temple also came forward, and Zhang Zhao nodded in satisfaction.

The descendants of the Anxi Army, five surnames and three royal families, after 60 years of separation, are finally in his hands and united again.
