Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 44 Cao Yijin's Two-handed Preparation
Cao Yuande had to be nervous. Cao Yanming was his own son, and he didn't pick it up on the road.

Moreover, he is his favorite son, young and intelligent, knows how to advance and retreat, and can be a decent corporal. Given time, he must be the unicorn of the Cao family.

However, Cao Yijin obviously has a different opinion. The "Lord of Zhongxing" who brought the Guiyi Army from the brink of collapse to the current one that can overwhelm the Uyghurs in Ganzhou, does not have so many children. He found a stone bench and sat down. , slowly cleaned up the yellow leaves on the clothes.

"If Zhang Erlang dares to come, it is enough to prove that he is only a middle-of-the-road person. He can't do big things, but he has more than enough to make troubles. In addition to his status and blood, after my death, I'm afraid he will disturb your life.

If such a person keeps alive, it will be a great disaster for the Cao family, so he must be eliminated early. Yanming is the grandson of the Cao family, and he should have the consciousness to defend the family to the death. Whether he lives or dies, it depends on fate! "

It really is a ruthless person!In order to kill Zhang Zhao, even the most beloved grandson can give up!
"Father, what if Zhang Erlang doesn't come?" Cao Yuan gave his elder brother Cao Yuande a sympathetic look, but he shook his head as soon as the words came out.

"Zhang Erlang hasn't seen his mother for five years. The Song family is calling, and the third brother Yuan Zhong is the guarantor. He will definitely come!"

"That's not necessarily true!" Cao Yijin shook his head, then smiled complacently.

"Back then, Tianmu Khan of Ganzhou Uighur, my good father-in-law, detained your uncle Renyu, and then asked someone to imitate my brother Renyu's handwriting, and tricked me into going to Ganzhou to meet my relatives in person, and said that there were three soldiers in the army. All kinds of gifts.

hum!A certain one didn't go, and if he went, he would be killed by the Uighurs in Ganzhou! "

The three Cao brothers looked at each other in dismay, Cao Yuande only remembered at this time, as if there was such an incident back then, many members of the Cao family coveted the three hundred soldiers, fearing the Uighur forces in Ganzhou, and persuaded Cao Yijin to go to Ganzhou There are really many people in the state to welcome relatives.

"Remember! If Zhang Erlang comes, he is nothing more than a troublemaker, and he must be killed immediately!
If he doesn't come, you have to be more careful. Those who can endure what ordinary people can't, must be thoughtful, cruel and merciless, and this person may really have the appearance of a hero! "

The complacent look on Cao Yijin's face suddenly disappeared, and he looked at his three sons with concern.

The eldest son, Cao Yuande Yunwen Yunwu, has some talents, but he is too polite and has a benevolent style.

If the world were unified, such a person would be a good ruler of success, but now that the foundation of the Guiyi Army hangs alone in the northwest, surrounded by barbarians, the word benevolence and kindness may not be easy to use.

Not to mention the second son Yuanshen, he can't even control his wife and children, his personal style is even more extravagant, and he can't even be regarded as the master of success.

As for the third son, Yuan Zhong, he handles things in a stable manner and is exquisite in all aspects. He is a qualified paper poster, but he is not a hero!
Cao Yijin was commenting on his three sons, but the three Cao Yuande brothers did not expect their father to comment on Zhang Zhao that way. Cao Yuanzhong, who felt that something had gone wrong in this matter, was even more uneasy. He walked up to his father Cao Yijin and tried asked.

"Father, if Zhang Erlang is really as heroic as you and Yannai guessed, shall we dispatch the pre-holiday government army to destroy him?"

Cao Yijin half-closed his eyes for a moment, then shook his head, "It can't be wiped out! The area west of Shazhou is vast, and we couldn't even catch Ge Duo when the bald tiger was there, but now it's not easy to find Zhang Erlang.

Besides, the trouble for us to return to the rebel army does not lie in Zhang Erlang but in ourselves. Yannai's words are correct. Wouldn't it be good for Dunhuang to have another Taibao Gong? "

After finishing speaking, Cao Yijin looked at the eldest son, "Yuan De, you should go down and prepare too. Didn't Zhang Erlang want to ask for a pardon for the people after Qi Jiarun's deployment? You go and draw it up and put my seal on it. Regardless of whether Zhang Erlang comes to Dunhuang or not, this pardon will be given.

In addition, prepare to arrest Luo Xianda and send him to Xinting County, where his brother Luo Tongda will keep him under strict supervision.

Didn't Zhang Erlang want to go to Khotan to make contributions?Give Zhang Erlang all the thorny soldiers of the Shouchang Town Army under Luo Xianda. Since he has stated that he will never hold grudges against me, then as my uncle, I will also praise him a little bit. "

Having said that, the three brothers of the Cao family also know what their father Cao Yijin meant. If Zhang Erlang is just a middle-of-the-road person, they should lure him to Dunhuang and kill him to avoid future troubles, so that he will not use his status to serve in the Guiyi Army. Make trouble in the subsequent handover of power.

If Zhang Erlang doesn't come to Dunhuang, and his mother who hasn't seen him for a few years doesn't call him, it means that he is a cautious and tough man, and with Mrs. Cao San's description and evaluation, this guy is really a talent , then you need to be kind to win over.

Because Zhang Erlang is only 19 years old this year, as long as he does not die violently, he will have at least four or fifty years to live. Among them, the youngest Cao Yuanzhong is also in his forties. After they all pass away, will there be Zhang's family? It is unknown if he will replace Cao again.

The Guiyi army is the plate of these hundreds of thousands of people, and they have married each other for countless times. Cao's Daizhang is a coup without bloodshed.

Now granting kindness to Zhang Erlang, this is called being a human being and leaving a front line so that we can meet in the future. If future generations are incompetent, they will not be able to control the situation.

Then Zhang Erlang will also look at the old friendship and relatives, so that the Cao family will still have meat and official position just like the Zhang family in Nanyang today.

"If that's the case, didn't my father intend to send Yaya Fan Running, Wu Da'er, Yin Yuanzhu, etc. to Khotan as envoys to Jin Kingdom recently? Why not let Zhang Erlang go to Khotan with them.

Not only can Zhang Erlang protect the safety of the mission on the way, but also allow Fan Running and others to secretly observe what kind of person Zhang Erlang is! "

What Cao Yuande said about sending Fan Running and three people to Khotan as envoys had been decided long ago.

At this time, the queen of Li Shengtian in Khotan was Cao Yuanxin, the sixth daughter of Cao Yijin. Although according to the system of the Jin Kingdom in Khotan, there were three queens, Cao Yuanxin was the most favored.

Because she is Han!As a fanatical guardian of the Han culture, Li Shengtian, who regarded himself as a vassal of the Central Plains Dynasty and was called the Emperor of the Central Plains by his uncle, thought he was a Tanger in his heart, of course he loved Cao Yuanxin, who was also a Han, the most.

At this time, Li Congde, the prince of Khotan born by Cao Yuanxin, who was later the king of Khotan, Yuchi Sula, lived in Dunhuang and studied the culture of the Han family.

Historically, Li Congde lived in Dunhuang until three years later, and returned to Khotan after he had mastered the Confucian scriptures and the Tantric Buddhism of the Han Dynasty.

Later, the kingdom of Khotan was destroyed in the jihad launched by the Karahan Dynasty. The grandson of Li Congde, the last king of Khotan called Li Tianxing, Yuchi Sangharama, also sent his descendants to Dunhuang to protect Cao's return to the righteous army. Li Congde of Khotan The close relationship between the Cao family and the Guiyi army can be seen.

Historically, since the fall of these two regimes, the culture of the Han family has never reached the Western Regions. The Ming Dynasty did not even defend Hami.

The exchange of envoys between the two sides this time was also mentioned by Li Congde. Fan Running and others went to Khotan to test whether they could marry Li Shengtian's third daughter, Tiansheng Princess Li, for Cao Yuanzhong's eldest son Cao Yanlu.

This is a major event for both Khotan and Guiyi Army, the scale of the mission is quite large, and it is indeed a good opportunity to send people to contact Zhang Zhao.
