Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 282 This is 600,000 Lordless Souls (Two in One)

Yanmo Liufan, or the Tubo Liugu tribe formed in the future, is named after the valleys in the south of Liangzhou City, where six rivers originating from the Qilian Mountains flow.

These six rivers rush down from the Qilian Mountains, bringing abundant water sources for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry to the territory of Liugubu.

The scouring of the river has washed out the valley plain hidden among the mountains in this area with many valleys.

The six rivers from south to north are:

The flood source valley where the Gulang River is located.

The Huangyang Department where the Huangyang River is located.

The Zhulu Department where the Zamu River is located.

The Yangfei Valley where the Jinta River is located.

The Zhao Family Department where Xiying River is located.

The Zongge tribe where Dongdahe is located.

Among them, the Shen family in the Yangfeigu tribe, the Zhao family in Xiyinghe, and the Han family in the Zongge tribe where Dongdahe is located are the Gamo tribe formed by the descendants of the soldiers from Longyou in Hexi.

Of course, the Liugu tribe south of Liangzhou is the Liugu tribe in a narrow sense. They occupy this land with rich water and grass, and because they are relatively close to Liangzhou City, they often use these six valleys instead of all the Gamo tribes.

The complete Yanmo Liufan actually also includes the Yanmo tribe in the Hehuang Valley, that is, the Shan, Kuo, and He prefectures where the Longyou Jiedushi was located.

There are more than 600,000 Gamo ethnic groups living in this large area of ​​land. Together with the most representative Liugu tribe, they are collectively called the Tubo Liugu tribe.

In the future, Zhebu Youlongbo, Pan Luozhi, and Zhesiluo will all rise from this fertile land.

In the Daliugu tribe, apart from the powerful Yangfeigu Shen family, Xiyinghe Zhao family, and Dongdahe family, there are Zhang family, Ma family, Xing family, Lan family, and Wang family.

As well as the Du Lun, Su Lun, Cui Yan and other families who were more serious in Tubo.

They have already associated their family's Han surname with the Tubo official position, so apart from the blood, I am afraid that they have completely become Tubo.

At the same time, it was only when Zhang Zhao came to this era that he realized that it was not nonsense that Zhang Yichao mentioned in the Tang court that Yan Mo was a descendant of a Hexi Longyou soldier who was trapped in Tubo in the past.

Because we cannot follow the cognition of later generations and only consider these families with Han surnames as descendants of soldiers from Longyou, Hexi.

Because, at that time, Datang was a world empire, and this is not an exaggeration at all.

Among the officers and soldiers of the Tang court in Longyou, Hexi, in addition to the Han Chinese, there were also a large number of Tuyuhun people called Tuihun people, Tubo people, Yangtong people, Qiang people, and Dangxiang people who took refuge in the Tang court.

They are all descendants of Hexi Longyou soldiers, otherwise they would not have been called the Gamo people who represented the servants and slaves of the Tubo Empire.

The Tubo people in the real snow-covered plateau would certainly not call themselves Gamo.

Therefore, Zhang Yichao's statement that all the moats were formed after the capture of Tubo by Hexi Longyou soldiers was not an exaggeration, but a fact.

And do they recognize themselves as Tang people?Actually admitted.

In the fifth year of Tang Huichang, that is, in 845 A.D., the Tubo noble minister Shanzhou Jiedu envoy Shang Maid and Luo Menchuan fought against envoys to discuss fear of heat.

On fear of heat, the last six tribes were subordinated, and the servants and maidservants passed on the Hehuang Valley and Liugu tribes, counting the crimes of fear of heat.

Said: "You are from the Tang Dynasty. If there is no master in Tubo, then you will return to the Tang Dynasty. Don't be hunted like a fox and a rabbit for fear of the heat!"

That is to say, the servant girl said to the Liugu Department, you are originally from the Tang Dynasty, and now there is no master in Tubo (weak power), you should return to the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible, and stop being a fox-like servant for fear of fear!
As soon as the proclamation came out, the tribes in the Liugu tribe who obeyed the theory of fear of heat gradually ran away.

At that time, there was a stalemate between the fear of fear and the maidservants. If the Liugu tribe hadn't considered themselves Tang people in their hearts, they would never have run away.

Looking at it this way, after the successive defeats of Lun Hore and Shang Maid, it seems a foregone conclusion that the Yanmo Liugu tribe will return to the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang court only needs a piece of imperial edict, and with a little consolation, almost 100,000 people from Liugubu will go to Hu and return to the Tang Dynasty, and it will be a matter of course!

Moreover, the Liugu tribe was bitter and good at fighting. After being in Tubo for decades, they still remembered their homeland. The Tang court appointed its loyal men as Jiedu and governor.

Back then, if Emperor Zhaozong of Tang had a magic strategy army dominated by the Liugu tribe, how could he be repeatedly insulted by Li Keyong and Li Maozhen.

Li Maozhen's sentence of untrial taking advantage of public opinion, what has happened since then!But he pressed Zhaozong's face to the ground and trampled on it.

So why didn't Li Tang return the children of the Hexi Longyou generals who had been in Tubo for decades to return to Tang?
This is the result of the combined effect of Tang Ting since the Anshi Rebellion, many kings have shallow vision, no imperial spirit, PTSD caused by the feudal town and Liangzhou's special political structure.

The political situation in Liangzhou has always been very peculiar. The largest number of people here is the Gamo people, but they do not have much power politically and economically.

Politically, it was controlled by the Liangzhou Han people, while the economy was controlled by the Tubo-ized Sogdians.

Historically, after the Guiyi army drove out the Tubo people, they actually took control of Liangzhou City. However, in view of the disaster of the feudal town, the Tang court feared that a huge Hexi Longyoujie Town would appear west of Chang'an, so they made things difficult everywhere.

Although from the perspective of later generations, this is Tang Ting's failure to live up to the sincerity of the Guiyi Army, but in this era, Tang Ting's actions are understandable.

Even if Zhang Yichao is a great loyal minister with unparalleled loyalty to the country, what about Zhang Huaishen?What about Zhang Huaiding?And what about other powerful figures in the Guiyi Army?

Tang Ting, who was on the verge of death due to the separatist regime, really couldn't bear the appearance of a large feudal town in Longyou, Hexi.

Therefore, in addition to transferring [-] Yunzhou troops to Liangzhou from the territory of the Tianping Army Jiedushi, Tang Ting also strongly supported the Gamo people around Liangzhou to make trouble for the Guiyi Army.

But it's a pity that they only knew that Yanmo was a local snake in Liangzhou, and that he was also brave and brave. They never thought about it. This is a group that longs for the comfort of the court, is sensitive and doesn't know where to go!
These officials sent by the Tang court and soldiers of the Tianping Army did not regard the Gamo people as their own at all, but always regarded them as Zahu and Tubo slaves.

If you need something, you can encourage them to make trouble with the Guiyi Army, or even launch a rebellion, and call them around if you have nothing to do.

After driving away the Guiyi army, Tang Ting Liangzhou officials didn't take the Liugu Department seriously. They were busy occupying the hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land and pastures near Liangzhou left after the Guiyi army retreated, and even called it "Mo" in person. People are Tubo slaves.

And the end of the scorpion, who didn't get the slightest comfort and didn't get any bullshit benefits, began to let himself go.

Originally, they had been trapped in Tubo for decades, and they only had the last hope for Tang Ting.

Now that Tang Ting does not appease them, they are neither Tubo nor Tang people, and they have no sense of belonging for a while.

From then on, the various ministries began to merge rapidly and form a group with each other. They no longer wished to be loyal to the Tang court, and even began not to regard themselves as Tang people.

After the release, various ministries of the Yanmo attacked and killed court officials, robbed passing merchants and even Guiyi Army and Ganzhou and other places who went to the court to tribute envoys, cutting off the link between the court and Liangzhou, which has increasingly become an important factor in the instability of Liangzhou.

In view of this situation, Zhang Yichao, who lived in Chang'an for 11 years in Xiantong, wrote to Tang Yizong.

"The people at the end of the river were originally generals who had no sons in Longyou, Hexi. The country abandoned them and turned them into tribes.Yesterday, I had to untie the braids, so I had to stroke them softly. How can I drive away foxes, rabbits, and rice beams, and turn them into jackals and thorns. '

As the great hero who restored Hexi, Zhang Yichao certainly knew the actual situation at the end of the river, and also knew the consequences of the court's abandonment.

However, Tang Yizong and his courtiers were worried that this was Zhang Yichao's intention to continue to compete with the court for Liangzhou, so Tang Yizong used words such as "temporary expediency" and "not a long-term system" to prevaricate Zhang Yichao.

Zhang Zhao wondered how his great-grandfather would feel after receiving such an answer?Anyway, after this, the situation in Liangzhou took a sharp turn for the worse.

After completing group formation and self-cognition of the ethnic group, the six tribes of Yanmo often cut off the communication between Tang Ting and Liangzhou.

In the end, they went directly to Liangzhou City and killed Tang Ting Lingwu Jiedu Envoy and Liangzhou Jiedu Envoy Lu Pan. The Yunzhou Tianping Army had to cooperate with Yan Mo, and the two sides jointly controlled Liangzhou.

If Zhang Huaishen, the second Jiedu envoy of the Guiyi Army, hadn't captured Liangzhou again and suppressed the Momo forces back to the territory of the Liugu tribe south of Liangzhou, the Yunzhou Tianping Army and their descendants would have died long ago. melted.

Poor, hateful and pitiful, later generations still know Anxi's white-haired soldiers, and also know that Zhang Yichao was attached to Hexi, and the Guiyi army was an isolated loyalist in the northwest.

However, the descendants of the Longyou soldiers in Hexi can only disappear completely behind their backs as Tubo slaves, and no one remembers them anymore.

. . . .

To the north of Liangzhou, Mingwei Shubao, this place is about [-] miles south of Minqin County, Liangzhou in later generations, and about [-] miles away from Liangzhou City.

It was already the end of August, and Zhang Zhao stayed in Baitinghai for almost a month before he packed up his army and went south to Mingwei Garrison Fort.

The reason why Zhang Zhao was so cautious was to get a good understanding of the situation in the Liugu Department of Yanmo.

He now has 7000 people's horses, of which at least 5000 people are standing forces. When he was in Anxi, they were supplied by Li Shengtian in Khotan with the power of the whole country. After returning to the east, Zhang Zhao alone assumed the responsibility.

If the five thousand standing army cannot completely control Liangzhou, it is impossible to support them.

Rushing into Liangzhou City can indeed convince people with strength, but it is not so easy to completely control it.

Because what Zhang Zhao wants is not only Liangzhou, but also Shan, Kuo, He, Lan and other states within the range of Longyou Jiedushi.

"Military envoy! Cao Wantongxi, the leader of the Sogdian four surnames in Liangzhou, has arrived outside the city!"

Just as Zhang Zhao was writing and drawing on paper, and asked Guo Tiance to collect the comprehensive information and analyze it himself, Murong Nobunaga outside the door came in to report.

"Military envoy, Li Jianhou, Tuiguan of Liangzhou, Liu Shaoyan, Ambassador of Hexi Jiedu Yamen, Duzhi, and Hexi Jiedu Yabing all know that Cui Huxin is here to see him!"

"Military envoys, Shen Zhihai, the leader of the sixth Yangfei Valley at the end of the year, his son Shen Nianban, Zhebu Jiashi, the chief of the Hongyuan Valley Department, and others, come here with Master Shanyuan of Dayun Temple in Liangzhou!"

Before Murong Nobunaga went down, Li Cunhui also came in.

Everyone's faces were filled with joy. The three major forces in Liangzhou, the Han, the Sogdians, the leaders of Gamo, and the representatives of Buddhism with a high status all came. It seems that the time for Zhang Zhao to subdue all the forces in Liangzhou is not far away.

"Let's go, put on a full guard of honor, let all the soldiers put on their armor, and let's go to greet them together!"

Zhang Zhao stood up with a big smile, what to say to greet him, it sounds nice, but in fact he wanted to show his strength.

Outside the Mingwei Fortress, the aborigines of Liangzhou who were escorted by Bai Congxin were stunned as soon as they arrived at the fort.

In front of their eyes, there were at least three or four thousand troops outside the Mingwei Fortress, and their armor was clearly lined up.

On the two wings are elite cavalry archers wearing blue leather robes, and they all ride war horses with their ears pointing towards the middle.

The horse's strange appearance is somewhat cute, and its body is very streamlined for running. The inverted triangle muscles on its chest are very obvious. It is obviously a very good war horse.

The blue leather robes of the horse archers were half open, so it was obvious that the armor painted black inside could be seen
The ones on the left are all wearing Chinese-style chain mail, and the ones on the right are all wearing Persian-style chain mail.

All the cavalry archers hold a very strange long spear with a barrel on the head, a saber on the left, and a horse bow on the right. They are all very sophisticated and well-maintained weapons.

Among the archers and cavalry is a huge phalanx of heavy armored soldiers. The left team is dressed in iron armor, all painted black, and the red ropes piercing the armor leaves are particularly conspicuous.

The soldiers held long spears, most of the people in the front row carried two bows, and Hu Luli was full of fine iron arrows.

The weapons on the right array are similar to those on the left array, but the armor is a kind of superior armor that looks lighter, with a little golden light flashing on the armor surface, as if it is a kind of foam nail.

As a veteran of the Hexi Jiedu Yaqian, Cui Huxin also found that there were no soldiers with double bows behind them, and almost everyone had a horned crossbow.

Obviously, no matter what the melee ability is, the long-range strike ability of this army of at least [-] soldiers must be terrifying!
One thousand five hundred soldiers!It seems that light armor is more precious than iron armor. Cui Huxinzhi heard that only the elite Jieduya soldiers in the Central Plains can do this kind of armor with all members.

The humming horn sounded, and the Liangzhou natives, who were so shocked that they couldn't be more shocked, suddenly realized that the horse archers on both wings first drove their horses and spread out to both sides with beautiful small steps.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers in the middle slowly moved to the two sides, giving way to an eight-person wide passage in the middle.

The reason why it is so clear is the width of eight people, because at that point of width just now, there are exactly eight people standing side by side.

Cui Hu was deeply shocked again by the movement of these soldiers without the sound of drums and horns.

He didn't know anything else, he only knew that the armored soldiers on the opposite side would be absolutely brave and invincible in battle, they could move without drum horns, and the formation was not chaotic at all, anyway, this was the first time he had seen it so far.

After the soldiers got out of the way, a conspicuous red suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and this red was divided into two waves.

On the left is the Mo Dao that is shining with cold light. The tip of the Mo Dao glistens in the setting sun.

The one on the right is holding a very strange long-range weapon that looks like a crossbow or a bow.

"Liaolianfu, this is Linglianfu!" Liu Shaoyan yelled out suddenly.

Shen Nianban, the eldest son of Shen Zhihai, the leader of Yangfei Valley beside him, looked at Liu Shaoyan curiously.

"Old man, what is 櫜鞬服?" Old man does not mean father in the spoken language of Sichuan and Chongqing in later generations, but an old man.

In the past, Liu Shaoyan wouldn't have said a few words like angrily, but this time he was no longer in the mood to care about these things. He sucked his sore nose, and Liu Shaoyan felt a lot of emotion in front of his fingers.

"Look at the boys, have you seen the red foreheads on their heads and the red robes on their bodies? With the hakama slaves on their lower bodies, black patent leather boots, and arrow room bow bags, this is my Tang Dynasty's formal dress! How does it look good?"

Shen Nianban really wanted to say it wasn't good-looking, but the mighty red samurai uniform and the gleaming Mo Dao deeply shocked him.

Shen Nianban, who was in his teenage years, even fantasized in his heart that wearing such a mighty military uniform, he must be the most mighty and good man in Liugubu.

Besides, in this era when dyeing is extremely difficult and most of the people are black and white, if you want to say that this kind of red clothes are not good-looking, it would be against your will!
Just as Shen Nianban nodded, he suddenly saw that the father beside him had already opened his eyes. Shen Zhihai didn't notice that his son was looking at him, because his mind was buzzing non-stop.

Shen Zhihai suddenly remembered many years ago, when he was still a child, his grandfather had to wear a Tubo right-leather leather robe, but he always liked to talk to himself by his side, sometimes in a way of saying no. Looking at him clearly.

The events from decades ago, the look in his grandfather's eyes became clear in Shen Zhihai's mind.

His lips trembled, and he said the words he often heard from his grandfather when he was a child, "China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia, and it has the beauty of obedience, so it is called Hua."

Liu Shaoyan heard this sentence, Li Jianhou heard it, Master Shanyuan of Dayun Temple in Liangzhou also heard it.

The three of them turned their heads in surprise, and for the first time took a serious look at Shen Zhihai, whom they regarded as a slave of Tubo, a feeling of unknown reason jumped among the four of them.

Boom!Boom!The sound of orderly footsteps sounded, and everyone in Liangzhou realized at this time that those elite warriors in red uniforms also separated to the two sides, and a total of [-] armored cavalry appeared on the passage they gave up.

The armored cavalry wore black armor, and each armor leaf was carefully cared for. The horse's vest was also woven from fine armor leaves. Both horses and men had visors, and only two pairs of eyes were exposed.

Slowly moving, like a group of black clouds in the sky, pressing towards the crowd.

This kind of tall horse with a shoulder height of more than five feet three inches (1 meters) is the best armored riding horse, which is extremely oppressive.

And in the middle of the hundreds of armored cavalry, there were two knights in golden armor, each holding a dilapidated Tang Sanchen flag and a dilapidated Zhang character big banner in front of them.

A golden general wearing a dazzling golden armor, a golden phoenix wing on his head, a golden vajra mask on his face, and a horse in his hand, slowly moved forward alone.

"preparation!"

"preparation!"

"preparation!"

Strange words and a strange tone suddenly sounded, and the soldiers on the opposite side began to look up at the sky slightly.

Everyone in Liangzhou couldn't help looking at the sky. At this time, the sun had already set, and a little afterglow shone on the horizon, making the overall look a little dark.

"Let go!" A loud shout came!
put?What to put?Zhebu Jiashi, who was completely shocked and felt that he was a bumpkin, shook his head in confusion, not knowing what this meant.

Sudden!He saw the most shocking scene in his life so far!
While the ending of the words was still fluttering in the sky, the strange long spears in the hands of those cavalry archers suddenly shot out golden flames.

They interweaved countless golden fire dragons in the midair, so brilliant, hot and gorgeous that the heaven and the earth seemed unreal for a moment.

Zhebu Jiashi's legs went limp, and he fell to his knees with a thud, without even feeling his knees being cut by sharp stones.

Shen Nianban beside him didn't feel much better, he just sat down on the ground and started panting heavily.

The sound of chanting Buddha came from beside him, and Zhebu Jiashi looked up, and it turned out that Master Shanyuan of Dayun Temple was clasping his hands together, chanting the Great Day Tathagata Purification Mantra in a low voice and quickly.

It's just that Master Shanyuan closed his eyes and seemed a little wobbly.

"Could it be that the Haotian God has descended? Or the Taishang Xuanyuan Emperor has come here! Will the born saint relieve my Guzang Li's misfortune?"

The one who was prostrate on the ground and roared wildly was Li Jianhou, the patriarch of the Li family in Guzang.

Taishang Xuanyuan Emperor is the throne conferred on Lao Tzu by Tang Gaozong Li Zhi. The Li and Tang royal family originated from Longxi, and some people married Hu people from generation to generation.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, they were afraid that others would say that their Li family was a barbarian, so they simply recognized Lao Tzu as their ancestor, and directly chased this great thinker to the high position of emperor.

The Tang Ting Longxi Li family came from Li Jianhou's Guzang Li family, and naturally the Guzang Li family also recognized Lao Tzu as their ancestor.

After a while, the silver flowers all over the sky dissipated, and a young general in white robe galloped from a distance, with a white horse and silver spear extremely chic.

He was holding the somewhat old Sanchen flag, and thousands of soldiers collectively shouted 'wind! '

"Vice King of Dachao Dabao Dajin Kingdom, Ju'er Khan from various Anxi tribes, conquered Suiye, Ningyuan, Hezhong, and Tianzhu and returned to Zhang Jun of the rebel army. I command you to welcome you. Please follow me to see you!"

Shocked, Zhang Zhao saw for the first time what it feels like to be scared.

After his 'welcome ceremony' was finished, before the two parties arrived at the Mingwei Fortress, Li Jianhou, the patriarch of the Li Clan in Guzang, ran over to save Zhang Zhao's leg while crying, uh!No, hugging the legs of Zhang Zhao's war horse, he began to cry loudly.

"Liangzhou fell into Tubo in the second year of Guangde, and it has been 70 years. Day and night, I look forward to the arrival of heavenly soldiers, like a baby looking forward to its parents.

In the early years of Xiantong, the Li family of Guzang welcomed Zhang Taibao to Liangzhou for the first time, and in the fourth year of Qianfu, Zhang Situ was welcomed to Liangzhou. Today, the old man welcomes Zhang Jun's envoys to Liangzhou again. Swords and soldiers will not be avoided. I hope that the nine bends of the Yellow River will return forever. Chinese! "

Hearing this, Zhang Zhao quickly got off the horse and helped Li Jianhou up.

Guzang Li welcomed his great-grandfather Zhang Yichao to recover Liangzhou for the first time in the early years of Tang Yizong Xiantong.

In the fourth year of Qianfu Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty, Zhang Huai, the second envoy of Guiyi Army Jiedu, went deep into Liangzhou. Although there were reasons for being Li Tang's clan, this sincere heart can be learned from the sun and the moon.

"Again and again, never again, Li Weng, please, unless all the [-] soldiers of Zhang Zhao die in battle, otherwise no one will ever want to take Liangzhou from us again, and the Nine Songs of the Yellow River will return to Han forever!"

"The descendants of Liangzhou's Tianping army, I respectfully invite Zhang Jun to enter the city, and let me show the glory of the Han family!" Liu Shaoyan was very numb and pulled Cui Huxin to kneel down.

"The four surnames of Sogter in Liangzhou welcome the Great Khan into the city!" Cao Wantong, who was almost paralyzed by fright, thought that he had tried to bargain with such a person who held thousands of soldiers, his legs softened, and he knelt even faster !
"Hongyuangu Zhebu Jiashi respectfully welcome Zhang Jun into the city!" Zhang Zhao did not expect that the Tubo Zhebu family, who he thought would be the most opposed, would kneel so quickly.

We must know that in history, the Oribu family, that is, the Oribu Jiashi in front of us, was the first person to unify the Liugu tribe.

It was also in his hands that the Central Plains Dynasty completely lost control of Liangzhou, but unexpectedly, this guy was very excited about Zhang Zhao's arrival, the yearning and excitement of seeing a tyrannical leader.

"Dare to ask Military Envoy Zhang, you are here on behalf of the imperial court. If so, may I ask the imperial court, are we Tang'er or a fan slave? If not, may I ask Military Envoy Zhang, how will we deal with us?"

On the other hand, the concubine Yang Gu and Shen's father and son, who were Han people, did not kneel down to invite Zhang Zhao into the city. It seemed that Shen Zhihai was somewhat resentful.

Zhang Zhao took off the hood on his head, stretched out his hands to hold Shen Zhihai's.

"Shen Weng, please look, the people in front of you are all the survivors of the Tang Dynasty who were trapped in Anxi and the river in the past. If you talk about suffering and resentment, who can suffer more than the descendants of the four towns in Anxi?

An isolated city thousands of miles away is full of white-haired soldiers. They guard Anxi alone until their parents and ancestors are turned into a wave of dust, and guard until there are hundreds of thousands of brothers and sisters.

But they never ask others whether they are Tang'er or a slave, because each of them knows in their hearts that they are Tang'er!

Shen Weng, would you like to join us and be a Tanger who knows where he came from and where he will go? "

Tears burst out of Shen Zhihai's eyes suddenly, he took Zhang Zhao's hand, and knelt down with both legs.

"Yangfeigu Shen Zhihai, envoy Zhang please bring us back to Han. Not only is my Shen family, there are hundreds of thousands of unowned souls in the land of Hehuang, envoy Zhang please rescue them together!"
