Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 230 Doze and meet the pillow
Money opens the way, and a big bowl of wine and a big piece of meat pull in feelings.

Just when Zhang Zhao greeted dozens of big local tyrants with a radius of hundreds of miles in Huwen City, eating and drinking.

Rashid Salaiman, deputy envoy of the Left Army of Shunyi, attacked and drove away soldiers and horses loyal to the Samanid dynasty in more than a dozen surrounding towns, and gradually took control of this area.

The Persian worked hard because he knew that Zhang Zhao would not let him return to Juzhanti.

In the Fergana Basin, there is not even an inch of extra land for these captured Persian soldiers and generals.

But it is still possible around Huwen City.

After a few days of hospitality and one-on-one courtship, Zhang Zhao finally won the allegiance of these dozens of big local tyrants. Whether they were Buddhists or Tianfang believers, they all expressed their recognition of his name as Ju'erhan.

Of course, these guys are also very smart. Ju'erhan sent brocades, invited them to have good wine and meat, and promised to take them to the territory of the Xiaxi Dynasty to make a small fortune. This is already very face-saving.

These local tyrants who have been PUAed by strong dragons from all sides know that if Ju Erhan does this, there are still people who don't know what to do, ha ha!Then wait for the knife.

This kind of cross-river dragon with a kind face and a cruel heart will definitely say that if you kill your whole family, you will kill your whole family. This is the lesson they have summed up by themselves.

So after the three-day banquet, dozens of local tyrants began to express their intention to send their children to participate in Ju'er Khan's crusade against the Xiaxi Dynasty.

There are more than two 300 people cavalry or mounted infantry, and the few are three 50 people, and they bring their own dry food and weapons, and they don’t need pensions if they die, as long as they have a chance to rob them.

. . . .

In the humble room, Zhang Zhao was writing a letter to Li Shengtian, telling him about the situation in the past two months. Since Zhang Zhao led the army to Bukhara, he had not written a letter to the emperor's uncle.

The content of the letter is very simple, Zhang Zhao intends to restore the original name of the country of Rakhana, which is the Fergana Basin - Ningyuan.

This is the name of the country given by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty to King Bahana, and he was married as a princess of the clan.

The second is a response to Li Shengtian's letter to him, saying that Khotan is planning to set up the post of governor above the state.

Originally, Khotan was only a small area south of the Tianshan Mountains, and it was only the size of a governor's district, so it was appropriate to use the state as the highest administrative unit.

But it is different now, Zhang Zhao has laid down three lands in Shule, Suiye, and Ningyuan for Li Shengtian in less than three years.

These three lands are not smaller than Khotan's original land, so it is really impossible to use the state as the highest local administrative unit.

So Zhang Zhao agreed with Li Shengtian's opinion on setting up the four governor-generals of Yutian, Shule, Suiye, and Ningyuan, which was also the power of his deputy king.

Among them, the governor of Khotan is not permanent, because the emperor or the emperor temporarily assigns ministers to serve.

The governor of Shule was appointed by Li Shengtian himself, and the governor of Suiye was of course the current Suiyeliu queen Guo Xuancheng.

However, Zhang Zhao suggested that Li Shengtian add a deputy governor of Suiye, with Li Guoshou, the father-in-law of Ayiguli who was stationed in Talas and a descendant of Li Sizhong, king of Huaihua County in Tang Dynasty, as the deputy governor.

After all, Suiye is too far away, and the place is huge, so it's good to have someone to check and balance, so as to avoid embarrassing things for everyone in the future.

As for the governor of Ningyuan, of course, Li Shengtian's son Li Congde is currently in the lead, and he will be sealed when Li Congde returns. In the end, this post will be held in turn by Li Congde's descendants and Zhang Zhao's descendants.

The last thing is to establish a vassal state in Huwen City.

Zhang Zhao named the country Anyuan Kingdom, with Prince Sadid as the ruler, and the capital is Huwen City.

Rashid Saliman was stationed in Hundu, and he formed the Anyuan Army with [-] Persian surrenders as the backbone, and Rashid Salaiman served as the Anyuan Army envoy.

Of course, this will only be implemented after Zhang Zhao leaves. For these two official positions, King Zhang is heartbroken.

Although Li Shengtian of Khotan called himself the Son of Heaven, he was actually just a king.

This.!It can't be that Khotan's vassal state is also the king, right?

In the end, I borrowed from my Song Dynasty's little trick of calling the King of Xixia the Lord of Xia, and named Prince Sadid the Lord of Anyuan.

Rashid Salaman is even more exaggerated. Zhang Zhao is now the highest military post in the Fengtian Army and Shunyi Army. Didn't think about it.

But this also shows that King Zhang actually doesn't pay attention to An Yuanguo at all. He doesn't pay attention to when Prince Sadid betrays him, and he doesn't pay attention to when Rashid Salaiman has two minds.

He just needs to build a small silk road that everyone can benefit from, and tie everyone to a rope to complete the small cycle from Tianzhu to Chang'an, so that he can continue to suck blood from this silk road Just grow yourself.

This small cycle is the most important to Zhang Zhao.

If there is no such Silk Road, after he returns to the east, he can only rely on at most hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese to lead millions of miscellaneous Hus.

With this power, it is definitely impossible to fight against the kings of the Central Plains who have tens of millions of people.

So there must be additional financial resources!

. . . . .

Uda Bandapura, the capital of the Shahi Dynasty in India, is located near Rawalpindi in later Pakistan, just on the banks of the Indus River.

From the seventh century to the eleventh century, this place was the only place to enter India from the river. It is recorded in Tang Sanzang's "Da Tang Western Regions" that the people here are rich and happy, the treasures are abundant, and there are many treasures. here.

When King Zhang gave a big reward to the three princes of Sadid's wives and local tyrants, when they arrived in Utabandapura, they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

Not because of anything else, because at this time the king of the Xiaxi Dynasty, Madapolo, was already preparing to go north to Huwen City

It was really easy for them to complete this mission. They just received a huge reward from King Zhang. When they arrived in Udabandapura, Madapolo heard from them that a violent coup d’état occurred in the Saman dynasty. When Nasr II, who was beaten violently, was killed by his son Hamid, he was suddenly ecstatic and rewarded them greatly.

At first he thought it was a tough job to pin his head to his trouser belt, but he didn't expect it to be surprisingly smooth, and he got it done without doing anything.

Fifteen days later, the spies sent by Modapolo to verify the news came back and reported that everything was true.

Prince Hamid not only killed King Nasr II, but even forced his brother Sadid to take refuge in Huwen City.

Prince Sadid is now extremely embarrassed, and even asked them if he could borrow some soldiers from the great Shahi Kingdom and fight back to Bukhara.

Hearing this, Modapolo almost laughed out loud, borrowing troops is good!This is good!

If you want to borrow troops, you have to let your own army enter. If you operate well, you should be able to enter Huwen City without bloodshed.

Therefore, under Modapolo's order, the Shahi Dynasty immediately began to speed up the preparations for the Northern Expedition. He even sent regular envoys to Huwen City to contact Prince Sadid.

Modapolo did not have the courage to borrow troops to seize the throne, because he knew that the Shahi Dynasty did not have the strength to control Bukhara in terms of distance alone.

But he has the guts to take control of Huwen City and regain the former place of the Xiaxi Dynasty under the guise of using troops to seize the throne, and he has the guts to do so!
He also had to do this, because the eastern part of Afghanistan, headed by Huwen City, was too important to the Shahi Dynasty.

With Huwen City, their Xiaxi Dynasty is a strongman from the north, who can continuously recruit warriors from the north to return to Tianzhu, and then use them to conquer other Tianzhu kingdoms.

But if there is no Huwen City, their Xiaxi Dynasty will become the first target of robbery by strongmen from the north.

Not only can't you conquer other Tianzhu kingdoms, but you have to become the meat shield of other Tianzhu kingdoms.

Everyone in the Indian mainland eats meat together, but the Shahi Dynasty eats it alone. There is no such thing in the world.

This is the case with the Shahi Dynasty in India in history. They have not been able to control the Huwen City, which led to their defeat by the Ghaznavid Dynasty split from the Samanid Dynasty, and finally died suddenly at their strongest.

Therefore, no matter whether Zhang Zhao goes to India or not, no matter whether he throws out the bait or not, for its own survival, the Indian Shahi Dynasty must go north to attack Huwen City.

To use an inappropriate analogy, this Huwen City is the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures of the Xiaxi Dynasty. If you have it, you can at least save your life. If not, then wait until it is destroyed!

. . . .

As expected, the Khyber Pass was similar to what Zhang Zhao had imagined, and it roughly led to India along the Kabul River Valley.

However, the geographical conditions are not as good as later generations thought. The roads here are rugged, the mountains are high and windy, and the vegetation is low.

A gust of wind picked up, blowing yellow sand all over the sky, no one could be seen for several miles, and everything was lacking except for water.

Zhang Zhao also understood why the passage is so important, and there has been no pass.

What kind of soldiers must be able to persist in guarding the border in such an environment?At least the regrettable soldiers under him couldn't hold on.

If there are such soldiers, why not guard the Khyber Pass, let the enemy come in, and just beat them up?

"My lord, let's take the route of elite soldiers. It is said that the Tianzhu Xiaxi Dynasty mobilized 30,000 people this time. Under such harsh conditions, bringing 30,000 people here must be chaotic and crowded. Let's draw three or four thousand elites, and it will be enough to defeat them in the first battle." !"

Ma Yaozi twitched his lips, and his words were extremely confident. After two or three years of training, this rough man who could only be a team leader in the Guiyi Army, was always thinking about making some money, or sleeping with Mei Niang. , actually has the posture of a famous general.

"My lord, I agree with the kite. This place is dangerous, with strong wind and sand. If more than [-] people come in to ambush, supplies will be a big problem.

In addition, there are not many places to hide people. If there are too many people, they will be discovered very early. It is better to recruit elite soldiers to catch them by surprise. "

Yan Jin also agreed with Ma Yaozi's opinion. These days, he carefully inquired about the military equipment and soldiers' strength of the Shahi Dynasty in India.

Quite lakwa!How strong can it be to fight back and forth with the Mustafa conscript army of the Saman dynasty?

If the Gulam guards of the Saman dynasty are considered a dish, then the army of the Shahi dynasty is not even a dish.

The king can lead them 2000 people, hard anus Prague Khan Saktu [-] Gulam, just defeated this ten times the enemy, what is [-] soldiers of the Shahi Dynasty?
You must know that before they came, the Gulam Guards of Buglahan Saktu in the Kara Khanate, the ceiling of combat power in Anxi and Hezhong, was higher than that of Khotan Palace Guards.

"However, the Xiaxi Dynasty likes to recruit elephant soldiers to fight. Those fierce beasts are said to be infinitely powerful, and destroying the army formation is like searching for something!

The servant once saw a skeleton elephant head in the Khotan Palace. It was so huge that it had to be guarded! "

It was Yin Yaozi who spoke, Zhang Zhao's cousin was his only close friend.

When Zhang Zhao was exiled to Shouchang Town when he was young, Yin Yaozi, who was only eight years old, was sent to him by his uncle and grew up with him.

The food given to Zhang Zhao outside was always eaten by Yin Yaozi first, and Zhang Zhao only ate it when he was done.

After arriving in Anxi, Yin Yaozi also gradually showed characteristics different from others, that is, although his force value is not high, he is meticulous in thinking and very good at logistics.

Calculating the food needed by the army, how much supplies to bring, and how to raise military supplies is simply an all-rounder.

So in Zhang Zhao's place, Yin Yaozi has a very high status, and Zhang Zhao always calls him cousin.

Reckless men like Manxiong, Dunzhu, and Wang Tongxun clashed. Without Zhang Zhao, the only thing that could calm them down was Yin Yaozi.

"Cousin is indeed a great talent, but there was a decisive battle against the elephant soldiers a long time ago, Cao Shishi, let everyone have a look at your secret weapon!"
