Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 287 Abducted!abducted
In the Later Tang Dynasty, Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Yingtianmen, the south gate of Ziwei City in Miyagi, were the occasions for holding important state affairs and diplomatic occasions in the Later Tang Dynasty.

Although the Guiyi Army was regarded as a natural member of China in later generations, at this time, in the eyes of the Central Plains court, the Guiyi Army was completely different from Ma Chu, Southern Han, Fujian, Yue, etc., and they were more regarded as foreign vassals.

At this moment, Long Bian, the envoy of the Guiyi Army, and Jia Yanchang, the deputy envoy, are thanking the emperor outside the Yingtian Gate, because Emperor Li Congke has agreed to the invitation of the Guiyi Army.

The imperial court posthumously granted Cao Yijin the title of Taishi and King of Qiaojun, appointed Cao Yuanzhong as the inspector Situ, observed and dealt with the fallen envoy of the Abbots in Guasha and Shazhou, and appointed Zhang Zhao as the inspector Sikong and returned to the righteous army envoy.

Although the envoy of the Guiyi Army somehow gave up the title of Jiedu Envoy of the Guiyi Army, invited an observation envoy of the Guasha Erzhou Jiedu, and then invited another envoy of the Guiyi Army.

But after Jia Yanchang's silver bullet offensive, especially as soon as the five second- and third-generation sweat horses known as Pegasus came out, Li Congke immediately agreed.

Xue Wenyu, a direct scholar of the Privy Council, also received a lot of bribes, so naturally no one objected.

Jia Yanchang and Long Bian were even rewarded with brocade robes and silver belts by Emperor Li Congke as tribute envoys for presenting the Tianma.

Now that they were appointed and the official positions they had invited were down, Jia Yanchang and Long Bian quickly returned to the post house.

As soon as they entered the door, the post office officials who had been fed by their money came to report that the Ganzhou Uighur envoys had moved in with BMW gold and silver. It was said that they wanted to accuse the Guiyi Army of attacking them for no reason and occupying Suzhou.

"You are like a dog slave, come to beg again!" Jia Yanchang's expression was extremely ugly.

This is also a common tactic used by the Uighurs in Ganzhou. At this time, they called the Later Tang court their uncles and called themselves nephews. Compared with the Guiyi Army who had a history of self-reliance as the emperor, they were much more reliable in the eyes of the Central Plains court.

Over the years, Ganzhou Uighurs and the Guiyi Army had conflicts, and they would always use the Central Plains court for help.

"But they came late, I'm afraid the imperial court and the sage have no time to look around, but there are too many nights and dreams, Jia Abiya, please leave immediately!"

Long Bian immediately said to Jia Yanchang, Jia Yanchang nodded.

"I know that the master has a heavy responsibility as a military envoy, so I will not refuse, I will leave you twenty servants, be careful."

Seeing Jia Yanchang rushing to pack his clothes and salute, Long Bian couldn't help but wryly smiled.

Everyone knew that he was responsible for the secret mission given by Zhang Zhao, but no one could have imagined that his mission was to help Zhang Zhao abduct the young daughter of King Dongdan to Liangzhou.

What's the matter!He has long argued that the well-known Hexi Metropolitan Sangtong, a well-known eminent monk, now wants to seduce someone else's daughter, and he has to do it.

"Master, the commander-in-chief has sent someone to invite him again!" The post official looked at the monk in front of him with envy and hatred.

Good idea!The commander-in-chief of the Huaihua army was so coaxed that he invited him every day, listened to his lectures on Buddhism every day, and bestowed countless gold, silver and jewels.

. . . .

Dongdan King Yelubei is now called Li Zanhua. This is the name given to him by Emperor Zhuangzong Li Cunxu after he floated from Liaodong to the Later Tang Dynasty, and he was given the official position of Jiedushi of the Huaihua Army.

So the posthouse official didn't call him Dongdan King, but Jieshuai.

Yelubei's residence was in Fuchengfang, which was close to the imperial city. Luoyang, the eastern capital of the later Tang Dynasty, was only slightly repaired on the basis of Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty. This kind of square city structure was of course inherited.

However, from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the present, Luoyang has experienced catastrophes several times. The city has been in decline.

The people who lost their control even directly took earth to build houses on the road, making the whole Luoyang full of potholes, and the potholes on the ground in many squares and cities were so large that even bullock carts could not pass through them.

The palace city is not much better, the vermilion lacquer is peeling off, and occasional collapses have caused holes of various sizes to appear in many places in the palace walls, and foxes, rabbits and wild dogs haunt them.

At this time, the entire city of Luoyang was in fact connected to the suburbs. The so-called Haoran Shenjing and bypassing green fields refer to this phenomenon.

Now it is still a bit of a national capital, that is, the Miyagi Ziwei City that was renovated during the Zhuangzong period, and Fuchengfang near the Ziwei City and other cities.

But the Siyi Pavilion where Long Bian and other envoys lived was by the Yishui River, and when he rushed to Yelvbe's residence, the eldest son of Abaoji had already received mixed news.

More than ten days ago, on the third day of September, Zhang Jingda, the deputy commander of the army and horses in the north of the Later Tang Dynasty, led an army of 110,000 to besiege Taiyuan.

The Tang army dug a long trench to besiege. Seeing that Shi Jingtang couldn't hold on, he closed his eyes and immediately gave up all face. On the condition of ceding the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and calling him emperor, he invited Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang's [-] troops.

Afterwards, the Tang army was forced to lift the siege of Taiyuan, and Zhang Jingda sent generals Gao Xingzhou and Fu Yanqing to take the initiative to attack.

Yelu Deguang pretended to be defeated, led the cavalry led by Gao Xingzhou and Fu Yanqing to the south of Fenshui, and then suddenly rushed out with ambushes, cutting the Later Tang army in two.

The two sides fought for three hours, and the Later Tang infantry who lost the cavalry cover were defeated. As many as [-] people were killed, and their armor, equipment, food, grass and supplies were almost lost. In fact, the entire army was wiped out.

The cavalry team in the south did not suffer much loss, but their numbers were too small to change the situation of the battle.

Afterwards, Gao Xingzhou and Fu Yanqing led cavalry to battle many times, but with little success.

Zhang Jingda collected the defeated soldiers and was besieged in the Jin'an army camp. He only had to wait for an internal disturbance before he could withdraw from the stage of history.

The 110,000 troops in this battle basically consisted of most of the elite of the entire Later Tang Dynasty. Once Zhang Jingda was defeated, Shi Jingtang and the Khitan cavalry could go straight south, and the Luoyang court was already in jeopardy.

Yelubei originally wanted to invite Long Bian to talk about Buddhism and painting skills. He is a rare cultural person among the Khitan people, and his poems, songs and paintings are very good.

The Dunhuang School of Painting that Long Bian inherited combines Eastern and Western art, and is good at religious painting, which is quite new to Yelvbei, so the two hit it off very well.

"Tuanbaigu lost the first battle, and the imperial court may be overthrown. A certain person also fell in love with the master, so he didn't avoid speaking just now.

Although Yao Gu (Yelu Deguang), the lord of the Liao Kingdom, is the second younger brother of a certain person, the Tang Dynasty is my home country. Therefore, after receiving such bad news, I really have no intention of discussing Buddhism with Master today. Please forgive me. "

Yelubei's face was full of pain, as if he was in a hurry, but in fact he did it for others to see.

Long before Shi Jingtang brought Yelu Deguang to help in the battle, Yelubei had noticed the weakness of the later Tang Dynasty. He had secretly written to Yelu Deguang, saying that the Central Plains was weak, and he could go south to map it.

Long Bian's heart was beating wildly. Of course, he wasn't worried about the later Tang court because of Tuan Baigu's disastrous defeat. He actually remembered Zhang Zhao's words.

Back then, Zhang Zhao told him that Bodhisattva Weituo was traveling with him in his dreams, and that there was a girl in Yelubei, the eastern capital, who was quite Buddha-nature.

At that time, Long Bian felt that either Zhang Zhao or somewhere had heard that Yelubei's daughter had a stunning beauty, and then became very lustful, or he pretended to strengthen his attributes as a Dharma King.

But looking at it now, it turned out to be so accurate, how did the King of Dharma know that the court would be in trouble even if it was in trouble?Is there really a Wei Tuo Bodhisattva entrusting dreams?

"Jie Shuai's heart is attached to the imperial court, and the poor monk can only admire him, but the day before yesterday he signed a contract with Jie Shuai, saying that there will be a disaster this year, Jie Shuai must be careful!"

Long Bian's mind was shaken, and he began to believe Zhang Zhaozhi's words, so today was the first time he took the initiative to bring the topic to this direction.

Yelubei's complexion turned bad all of a sudden, in his opinion, this foreign monk who came from the rebel army is good in everything, the Dharma is profound, and Danqing also has merits, but he always says that he will have a disaster this year, and he will abandon a daughter or Can be resolved.

This was before!He took it as a joke. These Buddhist believers always like to spread alarmism and spread the word. Yelube was a little used to it, so he didn't take it to heart. But when the news of the Battle of Tuanbai Valley came, he couldn't calm down.

Because since yesterday, he has noticed that there are a lot of strange faces around his mansion, some of whom are from the imperial army guard Ma Bu, which is obviously a sign that the sage is starting to guard against him.

Yelubei let out a long sigh, "It's not that a certain woman is reluctant to have a woman to serve the Buddha, it's just that there are only two women under her knee.

The eldest daughter has already been married but has not yet married, and the second daughter is still young, but she is only a year of cardamom, she is really a certain heart! "

"Jie is so handsome, if it weren't for the little lady's destiny to Buddha, the poor monk would not have come from Hexi for this purpose, and sacrificing my life for the Buddha is not to ask the little lady to stay in the ancient Buddha for a lifetime.

Tingting is 13 years old, cardamom is in early February, even if a poor monk wants to let such a young lady stay alone for a lifetime, the Buddha will not agree.

This is actually my Buddha, the wheel-turning holy king. I can't bear to see the little lady in distress. "

Yelube thought about it for a moment, and although he believed Long Bian's words, he still vaguely felt that something was wrong, and there was a sense of overly coincidental everywhere.

Moreover, he said that the young girl, Dougao Nianhua, was actually only nine years old, so it was not a lie to be reluctant to let her go west.

"I don't know what kind of person the wheel-turning holy king is? How can I know that my daughter has the Buddha's destiny from thousands of miles away?"

"The wheel-turning sage king originated from Tianzhu, and he was enlightened by the Buddha in Lingjiu Mountain to become the Dharma King of the world. He has his own great supernatural powers.

In addition, the King of Dharma is not a monk from Tianzhu, but is actually a native of China, and his ancestor is Zhang Taibao, the Guiyi Army.

Its main treasure and Dianbing treasure have arrived, but it is lacking the assistant of the jade girl treasure. If the seven treasures are available, it will surely make the light of my Buddha's compassion shine on Hexi.

The jade girl, treasure cardamom, arrives, and Ji Nai comes out. If the commander-in-chief is worried, he can also send his men of bear and tiger to escort him to Liangzhou.

The Daguanyin Temple in Liangzhou has built a well-repaired house for the jade girl. If there is something that is not to your liking, it is up to Jieshuai to decide whether to stay or not. "

People have said so, and they just want his daughter to go to intensive training for a few years, and she can come back when she is 15 years old.

The Khitan people believed in Buddhism in the first place, if it was spread that Yelubei had a daughter who was related to Buddha, that would be even more glorious.

In addition, Yelubei has been secretly observing Longbian and the Guiyi Army envoy these days, and really did not see any motives for harming him, so he pondered for a moment.

"Then please allow me to think about it for a while, Master. As a parent, it is human nature to be reluctant to leave your children to travel far away!"

"That's it, the poor monk just wait!" Long Bian sang a Buddhist chant, he knew that Yelubei had already been tempted, and he could finish the task Zhang Zhao entrusted to him when all the imperial soldiers and horses in the Jin'an army camp were wiped out.
