Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 33 The Dangerous Situation of the Guiyi Army
Looking at Miss Cao San in front of him, Zhang Zhao didn't know what to say. This was a story of a nine-year-old girl who had a crush on her 15-year-old cousin!

The ancients matured precociously, women married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and many even became child brides-in-law from an early age. It is not surprising that a nine-year-old girl has first love.

Especially Mrs. Cao, a little girl who seldom felt the love of her parents and grandparents when she was young. Suo Sanlang, who is capable of literature, martial arts and high-end musical instruments, must be a warm heart in the life of Mrs. Cao when she was young. It's sunny.

"Mr. Erlang! If you promise me one thing, I will tell you a big secret about Dunhuang Kingdom!"

After a while, Mrs. Cao San took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, not minding Zhang Zhao seeing her cry.

"A person cannot be brought back to life after death. The dead are already dead. The living still need to strengthen themselves. The revenge of ten generations can still be avenged!" Zhang Zhao did not answer directly, but said an ambiguous sentence.

However, this ambiguous sentence made Mrs. Cao San very satisfied, and she nodded solemnly.

"Mr. Erlang, if one day our Dunhuang kingdom can capture Ganzhou again, the slave will kill more than a hundred Uighur Dagan in Ganzhou, and then take their heads back to the bridge to build a temple in Beijing to pay homage to Suo Sanlang and other dead!"

Bianqiao is a bridge to the east of Dunhuang, and it is the main road to the two states of Gansu in the east. When Uyghur soldiers from Ganzhou came to the city of Dunhuang, Zhang Chengfeng personally put on his armor and went into battle with the Uyghurs. This is where Suo Sanlang died in battle. of this place.

"Yes!" Zhang Zhao nodded heavily, "Not only does he want to kill more than a hundred Uyghur Dagans in Ganzhou, but he also wants to kill all the royal family of the Uyghurs in Ganzhou! How dare you call yourself the Li clan of Longxi, the governor of the county!"

With the hatred between the Guiyi Army and the Ganzhou Uighurs for nearly a century, when either side has the ability to completely swallow the other side, a massacre will inevitably occur.

Don't look at the Ganzhou Uighurs who forced Zhang Chengfeng to respect the Uighur Khan as his father, and Cao Yijin also broke through Ganzhou. There was no massacre after these two incidents.

But that's because the strengths of the two sides are similar. Although one side has the upper hand, it can't swallow the other side.

Moreover, in addition to competing for the trade benefits of the Silk Road, the two sides also have an unresolved knot.

The Guiyi Army has always used the idea of ​​being lonely and loyal at the end of the Tang Dynasty to unite people's hearts, but the Ganzhou Uyghurs were even more exaggerated. Because the Ganzhou Uyghur royal family often married Li Tang, the Li Tang Dynasty often married them with clan daughters. At the end of the year, the Uyghur royal family in Ganzhou began to have the surname Li, and they also called themselves the Li family of Longxi, the governor of the county.

This disgusts the Guiyi army enough, the Li family of Longxi, this is the origin of the Tang royal family!I regard myself as an isolated and loyal Tang Dynasty, but you simply claim to be a descendant of Li Tang's royal family, isn't that a sabotage?

Your Yaoge Luo family has settled down, and you also deserve the surname Li?
"Slave, thank you, Mr. Erlang!" Upon receiving Zhang Zhao's reply, Mrs. Cao San stood up on the stone building and gave Zhang Zhao a big gift.

At this time, Zhang Zhaobing was no more than seventy-eight people, Cao Sanniang and a widow, and the two of them were here. They regarded Ganzhou Uighurs, who had more than 80 people, nearly [-] soldiers, and [-] to [-] people, as the retort in front of Shanniang. Too bad, everything is so absurd, but it seems so natural.

"Fang Cainu said to Lord Erlang that there are only more than [-] Tang'er in Hexi and [-] Sinicized Sogdians in the core tribe of the Dunhuang Kingdom.

After the war with the Ganzhou Uyghurs 20 years ago, the Tanger family in Guasha suffered heavy losses, and there are still more women than men.

My Sogdian tribe is good at handicrafts and business, and lives in the city all the year round, with few offspring, which gives opportunities to other ethnic groups.

Which clan do you think is the second most populous in Dunhuang after Hexi Tang'er? "

"Could it be the Uyghurs?" Zhang Zhao touched his chin and asked. Later generations he knew that the biggest reason for the demise of the Guiyi Army was that the Ganzhou Uyghurs supported the Shazhou Uyghurs to occupy the magpie's nest. Could it be that there are already many Uyghurs in Guasha?
"No!" Mrs. Cao San shook her head, "The ethnic group with the second largest number today is the descendants of the Tuyuhun Murong tribe led by my Aunt Murong Guiying.

They have more than [-] people occupying Guazhou, and they are even moving to Shazhou. When they paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains at the beginning of this year, A Weng had already paid tribute in the name of Governor of Guazhou alone! "

Zhang Zhao's pupils shrank. He didn't expect that the Guiyi Army had already retreated to the two prefectures of Guasha, and the interior was so complicated. It's really a temple with a lot of wind and shallow water!
Although the Tuyuhun Murong tribe was almost completely Sinicized like the Sogdians, it would be really troublesome if they came out to compete with the Sogdians for leadership!
Because when Zhang Yichao drove out the Tibetans in Guasha, the Sogdians who had already taken root in Guasha were his staunch allies.

In order to integrate into the Tang Dynasty, these Sogdians even changed their traditional pointed hats and surnames. Even the Cao family who now controls the Guiyi Army, although they call themselves the Cao family of Qiaojun, they are actually descendants of the Sogdian Cao people and the Han Cao family. It came from the joint clan.

These Sogdians entered the genealogy of the real Cao family in Qiaojun by learning Chinese and writing Chinese characters, turning themselves into Han people.

"Mr. Erlang, do you understand the danger? The mother and grandmother of King Linggong are actually the daughters of the Sinicized Sogdian Cao family. King Linggong's cousins, Renqi, Rende, and even their paternal lineages are from Sogdian Cao, and they are slaves. , who also has Sogdian blood.”

Zhang Zhao took a closer look, and sure enough, Mrs. Cao's pair of peach-blossom eyes were a little gray, and the tip of her hair was slightly purple, which were some of the characteristics of the Sogdian people, and he also guessed the crisis of the Guiyi Army. .

"You mean to say that you, Aunt, are jealous that the Cao family can now control the power of the Guiyi Army, and you are also planning to learn from the Cao family's initiative to Sinicize in order to enter the power center of the Guiyi Army. At least you must occupy the Guazhou and Shazhou Jiedu Yamen to fight against it. ?”

"That's right!" Mrs. Cao San gave Zhang Zhao an approving look.

"Actually, they have already started doing this. Twenty years ago, during the Battle of Bianqiao, the men of Hexi Tanger withered, and most of the extra women were married off by the Murong family.

At the same time, the Murong family did not hesitate to let the women in the clan marry poor Han family sons and even make them small, thus marrying a large number of women to Tangerzhong in Hexi.

To this day, the Murong Department of Tuyuhun has basically completed the layout. The people of Guazhou embrace Murong Guiying as the governor, and even King Linggong has no choice but because Tanger of Guazhou has already regarded the Murong Department as his own, and they no longer regard Murong. All of them are Tuyuhun people, but they are regarded as Han people. "

Zhang Zhao suddenly realized!

"I understand, Hexi Tang'er can treat the Murong family as his own, but your Cao family who has Sogdian blood can't.

Because Tang'er in Hexi has no leader since my father's defeat. The leader of the Dunhuang Kingdom is your family formed by the combined clan of the Cao family in Sogdia and the Cao family in Qiaojun.

The Murong Clan became stronger to replace the Cao family. Now that they occupy Guazhou, they are separated. If things go on like this, there will only be Guiyi Army in Guazhou and Shazhou. The best ending is probably to be divided into Guazhou and Shazhou. ! "

"That's right! With only these [-] people, we are still fighting so fiercely. The more dangerous thing is actually on the other side. In order to get rid of the humiliation of calling Ganzhou Uighur Khan his father, the King Linggong married Li Shi, the daughter of Tianmu Khan, the Uighur Uighur of Ganzhou.

After Mrs. Li got married, she replaced Suo Shi, Mrs. Jun Jun's cousin, Mrs. Jun, and became the official wife of Mr. Ling Gong.

Now she has given birth to three sons and four daughters for King Linggong, two of the daughters were married to the Ganzhou Uyghur Khan and the royal family respectively, and her son also married the daughter of the Ganzhou Uyghur royal family.

You said Princess Li, don't you want your son to become the leader of the Guiyi Army? "
