Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 32 Guiyi Army and Ganzhou Uighur - Father and Son Bureau
"Why does Mr. Erlang want to write about the Duke Ling?" Mrs. Cao asked after laughing a few times like silver bells. This was the first time Zhang Zhao saw her laughing so happily.

"Because he was nineteen in a certain year, and His Majesty Linggong is already fifty-nine, and he is still in good health for five years, and His Majesty Linggong will be five years later..."

Zhang Zhao didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was obvious. He would only be 24 in five years, and Cao Yijin would be 64 in five years.

In this day and age, the Guiyi Army is still in a place where it has to do its best to maintain it. Since Zhang Yichao established the Guiyi Army, except for himself, none of the Guiyi Army's Jiedushi has lived more than 60 years old.

"That's right! Lord Erlang will be younger than Nu in five years' time, let alone King Linggong!"

Mrs. Cao San stood up. She bent down and lay her body on the table. She put her head in front of Zhang Zhao's eyes. She had red lips and a beautiful nose, and her peach eyes were watery. Lay it on the table, it will look more 'broad! '

"Besides, I can also tell you that King Ling Gong's health is not very good. This year's alliance with Hue Khan in Ganzhou is all forced to go!"

Zhang Zhao suddenly realized and nodded, "So that's how it is. I explained that it is my Dunhuang kingdom that suppresses the Uighurs in Ganzhou, so how could King Ling condescend to go to Ganzhou!"

At this time, the biggest enemy of the Guiyi Army was the Ganzhou Uighurs in the east. Back then, Zhang Zhao’s father, Zhang Chengfeng, failed in the war with the Ganzhou Uyghurs. They were chased to the base of Dunhuang City and forced to respect the Ganzhou Uyghurs Tianmu Khan. After becoming a father, he lost his heart and had to abdicate.

In addition, the Ganzhou Uighurs often blocked the tribute and trade routes of the Guiyi Army to the Central Plains court, so the conflict between the two sides was very deep.

After the Cao family replaced Zhang, in order to get rid of this humiliating status, Cao Yijin proposed to Ganzhou as the Jiedu envoy of the Guiyi Army.

Married Tian Mu Khan's daughter, who is also the aunt of the current Hue Khan drug Ge Luo Renyu, Princess Tian Li.

As a result, the Jiedushi of the Guiyi Army became the genuine son of Ganzhou Uighur Tianmu Khan, and got rid of the humiliating position of being forced to recognize his father.

Later, during the more than ten years of civil strife in Ganzhou after the death of Tianmu Khan, Cao Yijin quickly seized the opportunity to break through Ganzhou, and then married his daughter born to Princess Li to Yaoge Luo. Renyu's elder brother, the previous Ganzhou Khan Yao Geluo Aduyu.

From then on, the Jiedushi of the Guiyi Army turned into the father-in-law of the Ganzhou Uighur Khan. It was the turn of the Ganzhou Khan to be the son and Cao Yijin to be the father.

For more than ten years, the positions of father and son have been reversed, which can be regarded as a small revenge.

Although Ah Duoyu was a short-lived ghost, Cao Yijin's father-in-law did not serve for a few years, but at this time, Guiyi Army was strong and Ganzhou was weak.

Therefore, if there is a normal alliance, it should be the generation of Hue Khan medicine Ge Luo Renyu from Ganzhou Uighurs who came to Dunhuang, not Cao Yijin to Ganzhou.

However, after hearing the secret revealed by Mrs. Cao San, everything makes sense. The reason why the Ganzhou Uighurs are at a disadvantage is not that they are weaker than the Guiyi Army, but that Cao Yijin has a lot of means, and the Ganzhou Uighurs are at a disadvantage. I was scared.

But this kind of advantage, which is formed entirely by the king's personal ability, is not solid.

In the past few years, the Ganzhou Uighurs have started to jump up and down again, because Cao Yijin is not in good health and has been unable to govern for a long time.

That's why Cao Yijin ran to Ganzhou regardless of his health this time. This was to tell Ganzhou Uyghur that I am still in good health.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao was in a bad mood, and he let out a long sigh, although it was Cao Yijin who overthrew Zhang Chengfeng's position as Son of Heaven.

But in fact, this was not deliberately promoted by Cao Yijin, but after Zhang Chengfeng recognized the Ganzhou Uighur Khan as his father, the Jinshan Kingdom in the Western Han Dynasty could no longer be maintained.

And Cao's replacing Zhang was almost a coup without bloodshed, except for Qi Xiahu's father, Qi Jiarun, who led the imperial army to resist a little, and Zhang Chengfeng's eldest son, Zhang Chengfeng, who was suffering from dysentery. Zhao's elder brother Zhang Wei was frightened, and his condition worsened and he died.

Even Zhang Huaiqing of Zhang's family in Nanyang, Zhang Chengfeng's uncle, Zhang Yichao's nephew, and Zhang Yichao's grandnephew, the head of the prefect, Zhang Xishou, and Zhang Liangzhen, the prisoner in charge of both inside and outside the Yaqian Zhiying, did not resist. It was not cleared afterwards.

In the end, the unlucky ones in this coup were only Zhang Zhao, the two-year-old remnant, and Qi Xiahu and others.

From Zhang Zhao's point of view, he has reason to resent Cao Yijin, because his father Zhang Chengfeng died of depression two years later, and he himself was placed under surveillance for more than ten years and deprived of all power.

But from the point of view of the vast majority of the Guiyi Army, they all benefited from this coup. Without Cao Yijin's strong support after he took power, only the Guiyi Army in Guasha and Shazhou can still suppress Ganzhou Uighur at one end, I am afraid that the direct explosion on the spot has long since ceased to exist.

"Your Majesty Ling Gong has not yet reached the age of Er Shun, why is his body suddenly in trouble? This is really bad news! I waited for Tang'er to live a few years of peace, is there going to be chaos again?"

Mrs. Cao San looked at Zhang Zhao's expression carefully in front of Zhang Zhao's eyes, and she sat back after a while, her expression even more excited.

"Now I feel that Mr. Erlang will definitely achieve great things. At least if I am Mr. Erlang, I will only be secretly happy for the sunset of the king, and I will never think it is bad news.

Mr. Erlang can have this heart, can have this understanding, not be blinded by personal grievances, and not lose judgment because of hatred, that's what Mr. Gu Zhiming is like! "

"Mingjun?" Zhang Zhao grinned, "Is the third lady making fun of me? I have such a team of less than a hundred people now, and it is cheeky to call myself a captain. How can Mingjun start! "

"I didn't make fun of Mr. Erlang! Because Mr. Erlang hasn't realized the responsibility he should bear!"

Mrs. Cao San still had a serious expression on her face, "Now my Dunhuang Kingdom seems to be prosperous and powerful, but in fact it is already in danger, because the core of the Dunhuang Kingdom is just more than [-] Hexi Tanger and more than [-] Sinicization millets. Temin."

"So few!" Zhang Zhao was shocked!
According to Zhang Zhao's memory and the speculation of later generations, the Guiyi Army at this time should have a core force of more than 300,000 people!

Among them, the core Hexi Tanger must have at least 200,000, otherwise it would not be able to support [-] elite soldiers, and it would not be possible to guarantee the dominance of Han culture in Guasha. He never expected that the number of Hexi Tanger would be higher than expected in half.

"The battle with Yiyu (Uyghur) in Ganzhou 20 years ago really exhausted our vitality.

In Dunhuang Tangerzhong, every family wore mourning, and every household mourned. Among the [-] elite soldiers, there were more than [-] dead. Later, they were forced to fight with the whole country, and the young adults suffered even more heavy losses! "

Mrs. Cao San gave a wry smile, tears welled up in her eyes. Zhang Zhao was not born at that time, but Mrs. Cao San was already nine years old and could remember things.

"From the uncle's family on the left side of my slave's house, all the men were confiscated, and the whole family of 11 people went, and only three returned.

Suo Sanlang is such a good boy!This cousin of this slave is familiar with the scriptures, can draw a hard bow, master the rhythm, and is good at playing the vertical harp.

When I was young, my mother always smiled and asked me, how about marrying my third cousin when I grow up? "

Speaking of this, Miss Cao's complexion suddenly changed, and even those peach blossom eyes radiated infinite evil spirit and sadness because of extreme anger and pain.

"By the time I saw my third cousin again, he was already a headless corpse. His head was cut off by the Houyue, and he has not been found so far. His hands, which were good at playing the vertical harp, were also smashed to pieces with a hammer. up!

That year, he was only 15 years old!The slave almost forgot his appearance! "

Speaking of this, Mrs. Cao San was already in tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

Note: Yixian still, Guiyi Army's contemptuous name for Ganzhou Uighurs, meaning short-legged monkeys.
