Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 265 Why Stick to Size

In the main hall of Qingxi Palace, the atmosphere was awkward and dignified. The sound of the explosion attracted all the guards outside the palace, but they all dared not move outside the door, because the Cao Yuande brothers and the leaders of the Dunhuang clan were in the main hall.

At the same time, Zhang Zhao couldn't get out. He was sure that as long as he showed up, he would be shot to death by random arrows.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Zhao glanced secretly in the corner, a skinny old man was resting with his eyes closed, looking very relaxed.

old fox!Zhang Zhao complained in his heart, this old man is Murong Xinchang's grandfather, Murong Guiying, the father-in-law of Mrs. Cao San.

In fact, before Zhang Zhao entered Dunhuang, Mrs. Cao San secretly went back to Guazhou, and negotiated terms with Murong Guiying on behalf of Zhang Zhao.

It was agreed that as long as Zhang Zhao was in power, the Murong family would be able to get the most spoils from Zhang Zhao, and the 16-year-old Murong Nobunaga would become the Suzhou observation envoy.
It was equivalent to giving half of Suzhou to Murong's family, and Murong Guiying happily agreed at that time.

But now it seems that the old fox is betting on both sides, or he will only come out to add icing on the cake, and is never ready to give charcoal in the snow.

If this is the case, Zhang Zhao can only use the one hundred Uighur warriors under Princess Tiansheng, but this is the last resort and cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Mr. Erlang, my third uncle is here, he wants to come in!" Cao Yanming approached Zhang Zhao and whispered.

It seems that Cao Yuanzhong, who was put under house arrest, must have been released by the juniors of the Cao family outside. After all, he is the only one who can take charge.

"Okay! Let him in!" Regarding his double father-in-law, Zhang Zhao decided to save face.

In fact, he didn't plan to fight with Cao's family. Even the wooden tubes on Cao Yuanshen's body, except for a few, were filled with dry and fine loess.

"Cao Shishi, you are really my good boy!" Cao Yuande, who was sitting in the main seat, was so dark that he couldn't even look at him.

He stared at Cao Yanming angrily, a strong anger of being betrayed by his beloved son filled his mind, now he wanted to arrest Cao Yanming and reward him with thirty family rules.

"My lord, I will apologize to you at fourteen!" Cao Yanming was also a little awkward, but he felt more and more that the Cao family had no future like this. Today, while the Cao and Zhang families still have a little bit of love, it is best to retreat as soon as possible chosen.

"Zhang Erlang! Why are you so impulsive? Is there anything you can't say well? Does the whole family have to fight each other?"

With a dark face, Cao Yuanzhong pushed through a small gap and walked in, posing as his father-in-law to teach him a lesson.

Zhang Zhao grinned. Among the second generation of the Cao family, only his father-in-law was capable, but only at the level of a paper poster.

What he said was obviously to teach Zhang Zhao a lesson, but secretly he turned the serious incident of Zhang Zhao's detention of a whole house into a child's nonsense, and he really had the ability to make peace.

"Come here! I haven't seen your grandfather, first uncle, and second uncle!" Sure enough, in the next second, Cao Yuanzhong turned the matter into a confession.

Zhang Zhao looked in the direction of Cao Yuanzhong's finger. Two short and strong men were guarding an old man who was looking at him with extremely complicated eyes.

How fucking embarrassing!Zhang Zhao suddenly felt that he was a bit hasty in coming to Dunhuang.

Because he was not ready to deny his relatives, and at least one-third of the people in this room were his relatives and elders, cleaning?This is also a hair cleaning!

"The grandson has met his grandfather, today, he is really offended!"

What a talent, I'm making a coup d'état!Zhang Zhao knelt down and kowtowed to the old man, wanting to cry without tears, the real grandpa, you can't do without kowtow!
Song Tongshan's lips moved, he was also very embarrassed!

He said it was his grandson, but in fact, in order to avoid suspicion, he has seen this grandson no more than ten times in 23 years, and most of them were when he was a child, and he has hardly seen him since he became an adult.

The first meeting after adulthood happened on this occasion, and he was almost scared by the thunder bomb thrown by his grandson just now.

After swallowing, Song Tongshan stretched out his hand stiffly to help him.

"Get up, Erlang, there is no need to be polite!"

Fortunately, Cao Yuanzhong didn't continue to ask him to kowtow to the two uncles, but his father-in-law pointed back again.

"That's your uncle and grandpa from the Yin family, haven't you seen him before? The old man is not in good health. If you scare people, let's see how you end up!"

have to!Another relative, but this is not his grandfather, but his father's uncle.

Zhang Zhao's grandfather, Zhang Huaiding, married a daughter of the Yin family, that is, Zhang Zhao's grandmother came from the Yin family, and this uncle was the younger brother of Zhang Zhao's grandmother, and also Yin Yaozi's cousin.

Zhang Zhao, who was extremely embarrassed, could only kowtow to salute. Now he felt that it was a mistake to let Cao Yuanzhong in. How could he be so cruel!My goodness, it has directly become a relative meeting.

Seeing Cao Yuanzhong pointing to the right again, Zhang Zhao suddenly had two big heads. The one named Suo Shengquan was the grandson of Suo Xun, the third-generation Jiedu envoy of the Guiyi Army, and his grandmother was Zhang Yichao's ninth daughter.

The tall and strong man next to Suo Shengquan was named Li Shaozong. His grandfather was Li Mingzhen, a general of the Guiyi Army, and his grandmother was Zhang Yichao's No. 14 daughter. Speaking of which, they were both Zhang Zhao's blood cousins.

As for the old man who looked at Zhang Zhao dumbfounded, he was even more unlucky. His name was Zhang Huaiqing, and he could tell from his name that he was from the older generation of the Zhang family.

Zhang Zhao's grandfather was called Zhang Huaiding, and he was originally called Zhang Huaiding, but after he became the Jiedu Envoy of the Guiyi Army, Huaicai was changed to Huai.

This "grandfather" in his sixties is Zhang Yichao's nephew and the only surviving figure in Zhang Jiahuai's generation. He is also the patriarch of the Zhang family in Nanyang, Shazhou, and Zhang Zhao's great-grandfather.

Got it!Zhang Zhao sighed, the people in this circle are all relatives.

However, Cao Yuanzhong's actions were not without benefits, that is, everyone took back the short knives and long daggers they took out one after another, and the tool bomber Cao Yuanshen recovered a little from his extreme fear.

Zhang Zhao looked at Cao Yuanzhong, and then at the appearance of everyone in the hall, knowing that today's affairs are a bit troublesome.

Originally, he wanted to directly control these people, and then take down the two brothers Cao Yuande and Cao Yuanshen, and then throw some benefits to appease them.

He brought back millions of dollars in wealth, and at worst, he would buy it with money. With the support of his father-in-law Cao Yuanzhong and half of his father-in-law Murong Guiying, he directly took the position of Jiedushi of the Guiyi Army.

But now it seems that everyone in the hall, including his grandfather Song Tongguang and the old general Luo Tongda of the Jinshan Kingdom in the Western Han Dynasty.

These people had forced his father Zhang Chengfeng to abdicate to a certain extent back then, and they still had some resistance to Zhang Zhao, the only surviving direct lineage of the Zhang family in Shazhou. After all, their behavior back then could be called rebellion.

For Zhang Zhao, this coup led to his father's death in depression, his brother's death from illness, and his being trapped in Dunhuang for more than ten years. No matter how he looked at it, it was logical for him to take revenge on everyone in the house.

So in the hearts of ordinary people, no matter what Zhang Zhao said, even if he promised now that he would never pursue the past twenty years ago, these people would not believe it.

If you don't pursue it now, what about thinking about it later?Original sin is not so easy to wash away.

If this is the case, then only the second set of plans can be used. The power base of Guiyi Army Jiedushi comes from two aspects, one is the blood inheritance, this is Zhang Zhaoyou, and the second is the righteousness of opening Ganliang and connecting the motherland .

But at this time, the righteousness of opening up Ganliang and connecting the motherland is no longer realistic.

In history, only Zhang Zhao's great-grandfather, Zhang Yichao, and his great-grandfather, Zhang Huaishen, served as Jiedushi. Even Cao Yijin, the 'Lord of Zhongxing', broke through Ganzhou and could no longer advance eastward.

So if the lower standard of getting through Ganliang and connecting the homeland becomes defeating the old enemy Ganzhou Uyghur, now is the time.

Because if the Uighurs in Ganzhou got the news of the death of Princess Li, they would inevitably send troops westward, and the two families had long been in conflict because of Suzhou.

In May of this year, Liang Xingde, Marquis of Yu, Zuomabu Capital of Guiyi Army, was sent to Hou Tang as an envoy. In fact, he went to do business for Jiedu envoy Yamen.

Ha ha!Yuhou, the Mabu Capital of the Guiyi Army, with dozens of soldiers, was able to be killed in Ganzhou City, and he couldn't find out who did it, so it's obvious who is capable of doing this!

Even if Princess Li hadn't been killed, I'm afraid the battle between the two sides would have been inevitable.

In history, this battle between the two sides was presided over by Cao Yuande. Both sides conscripted thousands of soldiers and horses. After small-scale contact, the Uyghurs in Ganzhou, who felt that they could not take advantage of it, returned to Suzhou and died down.

But that is what happened in history. For the current Guiyi Army, they certainly don't know that the war that seems to be about to break out will be so anticlimactic.

So what Zhang Zhao has to do is to replace Cao Yuande to fight the battle against the Uighurs in Ganzhou, so that legal principles and morality are all in his hands.

Of course, it is impossible for him to take his troops and horses to fight against the Ganzhou Uighurs. In that case, it is estimated that he will be sold by these old guys in the next step after he left Dunhuang City today.

"Erlang, let your second cousin go! I'll send you out!"

Cao Yuanzhong said to Zhang Zhao, then sighed and looked at his elder brother Cao Yuande.

"Let Erlang go to Suzhou! Suzhou Longhong has reported several times that there are Dadan people harassing the grassland, and Ganzhou people pretending to be the people of Suzhou have repeatedly provoked them. It is appropriate to let Erlang go to Suzhou."

Cao Yuanzhong had exerted all his strength for Zhang Zhao, and he insisted on finding half of Suzhou from the Guiyi Army that had shrunk to Guasha.

The current Suzhou is divided into two, and the Guiyi Army and the Ganzhou Uighurs each control half.

There are still tens of thousands of people in Shangsuzhou, which is controlled by the Guiyi Army, but the rule has not been very stable because of insufficient military strength.

But Zhang Zhao came with an army, so he should be able to control it, maybe he can swallow the whole of Suzhou, and Zhang Zhao will have a foothold by then.

But of course Zhang Zhao would not go to Suzhou, but he would not directly refuse. This was proposed by his father-in-law, and it was still for him. If he directly refused, it would appear that Zhang Zhao was too ignorant.

So Zhang Zhao smiled secretly, and decided to break through in another direction, "Suzhou is good, but it faces the threat of Uighurs from Ganzhou, and the Ganzhou people cannot be driven away. Everything is like a dream in a mirror.

How about this, I, Zhang Zhao, will deal with Ganzhou's westward advance this time, and it can be regarded as revenge for their persecuting a certain father back then.

A certain requirement is not high, you are all the pillars and elders of the Guiyi Army, as long as the elders now hand over all the martial arts in their families to a certain, Ganzhou Yuyou, a certain force will bear it! "

The faces of everyone in the hall suddenly brightened, Zhang Erlang is going to use the younger generation of his family as a hostage!

Moreover, most of the younger generation present in the family served in the government army. They were taken away by Zhang Erlang, and at least half of the standing army of the rebel army became Zhang Erlang's.

When it comes time to go to the battlefield and mix them up, they might be controlled, and these young people can be used to threaten them. Whoever dares to stab them will kill their children and grandchildren?
There was a hint of complacency on Zhang Zhao's face. He has 5000 people, and he can control hundreds of thousands of Guiyi army yamen, which is completely possible.

Moreover, they are all young people. At worst, they can be bought by orchids directly with money, and they can also be motivated by meritorious deeds. Zhang Zhao is completely confident to subdue them.

At that time, after defeating the Uighurs in Ganzhou, they will go back to Guazhou directly, and force the palace again, and Cao Yuande will be ousted smoothly.

Everyone knew about Zhang Zhao's plan, but they had no good reason to refute it.

Because Zhang Erlang is still detaining them, if they don't give them any benefits, can they be released?

But they couldn't agree, because if they agreed, it was just drinking poison to quench their thirst.

But if you don't agree, do you really want to send all the high-level members of the Guiyi Army to the west in this Qingxi Palace hall?

In the awkward silence, an old god's voice sounded.

"If I were Mr. Zhang Erlang, I would never choose Suzhou, nor would I choose Guiyi Army. There are good places in the world, so why stick to a place of this size?"
