Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 456

Kucha is not far from Yanqi, but only more than [-] miles away. If you don't consider fighting, you can arrive in five days.

When Zhang Zhao arrived, Li Shengtian was only camping outside the city.

In addition to sending necessary officials into the city to receive defense, from Li Shengtian to the Jin Kingdom of Khotan, military generals and officials at all levels, and civilian officials accompanying the army were all outside the city and did not enter the city.

Zhang Zhao led 6000 soldiers and horses to stay in Yanqi after leaving Ma Sha, and the remaining [-] people were taken outside the city of Kucha.

Li Shengtian also brought 6000 cavalry to besiege Kucha. Apart from the wounded, there were also [-] people.

Adding up the two sides, there are a total of [-] troops.

This is an incredible number. You must know that the soldiers in the four towns of Anxi in Datang were in the early [-]s.

Of course, they are the kind of elite who can fight ten battles, 20,000 people, and their combat power is stronger than Zhang Zhao and Li Shengtian's more than [-] people.

But Zhang Zhao and Li Shengtian, with more than [-] people, can be said that after Datang withdrew from Anxi, Han Tang Wenhua once again had a decisive force in Anxi.

. . . .

Before Zhang Zhao arrived in Kucha, envoys from Khotan's Jin Kingdom and Liang Kingdom began to keep reporting.

Almost every ten miles, Li Shengtian would send someone to reward the army with fine wine and food.

Zhang Zhao also continued to present the treasures and beauties obtained in Gaochang and Yanqi to Li Shengtian and Khotan officials.

Finally, in the anticipation of everyone, Zhang Zhao led an army of [-] to the first Buddhist temple in Anxi, north of Kucha, the Queli Temple in Kucha.

The Great Queli Temple was built in the Jianwu period of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Kumarajiva, the eminent monk in the past, became a monk in this temple. The eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty, Lianhua Jingjin, Xuanzang, Wukong, etc., also studied in this temple.

Moreover, although most of the Gaochang Uyghur clan believed in Manichaeism, most of the people believed in Buddhism.

The current scale of the Buddhist temple caves excavated outside the city of Kucha even exceeds that of the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes in Hexi.

Outside the Queli Temple, the flags were out of the sky, and the drums and music were playing loudly. The officials and generals of the Kingdom of Khotan and the Kingdom of Liang all took off their armor and changed into gorgeous brocade robes.

The 2000 people of the Khotan Palace Guards are wearing gorgeous red rope iron armor. From a distance, the red rope on the iron armor is very conspicuous, which is both mighty and gorgeous.

The 3000 people of the left and right Habayashi guards in Liangguo wore cloth armor, the left habayashi guard wore a red cloth face, and the right habayashi guard wore a white cloth face. Yue Zhiyuan Ting looked like a benevolent and righteous teacher.

Zhang Zhao wears a Jinde crown on his head, a crimson gauze singlet, a white skirt, a leather belt, white socks, and black leather shoes. He is dressed like a prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Murong Nobunaga and Li Cunhui beside him wore big Wubian crowns, hanging ribbons and swords at his side.

Only at this time did Zhang Zhao understand the reason why Li Shengtian sent envoys several times to ask him what kind of dress he should wear.

It turned out that Li Shengtian didn't wear the emperor's mian suit that he likes to wear on weekdays, but, like Zhang Zhao, he wore a set of court clothes for the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

It can be described as painstaking!

"Uncle!" Zhang Zhao saw Li Shengtian's figure from a distance, immediately jumped off his horse, and then ran towards Li Shengtian.

"Haha! Erlang! You have done a great job!" Seeing this, Li Shengtian jumped off his horse and ran towards Zhang Zhao.

When there were still a few steps left, Zhang Zhao hesitated a little, and went on paying homage anyway.

Not to mention anything else, without Li Shengtian, Zhang Zhao would not be where he is today. They are not treating him as a nephew, but in fact, even if they are a son, they are not so good.

"Erlang, don't do that!"

Li Shengtian almost flew over, and when Zhang Zhao was about to salute, he pulled Zhang Zhao up.

"Erlang is also the lord of millions of people today, the lord of the people, he can't salute anyone, not even his uncle!"

Li Shengtian's voice was decisive, and his attitude was very firm.

Zhang Zhao gently shook off Li Shengtian's hand, he took a few steps back, straightened his back and looked at the tens of thousands of eyes watching him and said.

"The host is also raised by his mother, and the host must rule the world with filial piety!

In the past, I, Zhang Erlang, had only a few hundred people traveling westward. It was my uncle who took me in and taught me like a father.

Today's obeisance is not that the king of Liang country worships the emperor of Jin country, but a nephew, thanking his uncle for his kindness! "

As he spoke, Zhang Zhaogong respectfully performed a set of kneeling salutes.

After the ceremony, Li Shengtian quickly helped Zhang Zhao up, his eyes were a little moist.

At this moment, Li Shengtian seemed to suddenly understand the reason for his special affection for Zhang Zhao.

He spent all his treasury to support Zhang Zhao's campaign, and he sent out thousands of elite soldiers without blinking an eye. Why?
Because Li Shengtian saw his own shadow in Zhang Zhao, perhaps it is more appropriate to call it Li Shengtian's dream.

He had fantasized more than once, imagining that he had the ability of Zhang Zhao, worked hard, won countless battles, recovered the four towns of Anxi, and glued together the territory of Anxi after the decline of the great dynasty.

But his family knew his family affairs, Li Shengtian was not a qualified emperor on horseback, only Zhang Zhao could accomplish all this for him.

So it seems that he is helping Zhang Zhao selflessly, but in fact, the two are fulfilling their dreams together.

So, Li Shengtian took Zhang Zhao's hand and raised it above his head, and he turned to the direction of the civil servants and generals of the Jin Kingdom in Khotan.

"Zhang Erlang's mother is the eldest sister of a certain person, and a certain person grew up on the back of the eldest sister. Without the eldest sister, a certain Li Shengtian would have died a long time ago.

When Ji Erlang arrived in Khotan, for four years, he did not avoid arrows and stones, crossed deserts and snow-capped mountains, fought bloody battles to the death, and began to have the prosperity of our Dajin Kingdom today.

This Dajin Kingdom should have his share. From now on, Zhang Tianwang's order is the order of a certain Li Shengtian, and everyone in the Dajin Kingdom will obey it! "

As soon as Li Shengtian's words came out, everyone was stunned. Just because of Zhang Zhao's big ceremony to pay homage to Li Shengtian, the generals of the Liang Kingdom who were a little uncomfortable were also stunned.

When Li Shengtian said that, it was almost the same as giving Zhang Zhao the Golden Kingdom of Khotan!
Everyone was silent, but they all looked at the two brothers Li Congde and Li Congyu in unison.

Because whether Zhang Zhao can control the Khotan Kingdom of Jin is no different to the civil servants and generals of the Kingdom of Jin.

Thousands of miles across the vast sea and desert, even if Zhang Zhao wants to merge Khotan Jin Kingdom into Liang Kingdom, he still needs people like them to manage it.

It can't be said that in order to stabilize them, they have to pay a lot of money to give them enough benefits.

It's just different for Li Congde and Li Congyu brothers, especially Li Congde, Prince of Khotan, which is equivalent to pushing his succession right back one place!

With Zhang Tianwang's body, he might be able to send Li Congde away directly.

It would be a bit too uncomfortable to be the crown prince for 40 years and only be the crown prince if the father is gone.

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, although Li Congde's complexion was a bit complicated, he still took the initiative to stand up and bowed to Zhang Zhao.

"The king of heaven is the vice king of our Dajin Kingdom, a certain Li Congde, so naturally he must obey the orders of the king of heaven."

This statement is also not simple. What Li Congde said is that the succession model of Yutian Jin Kingdom has become that the deputy king is greater than the prince.

This kind of thing, as long as anyone has a little bit of ambition, it is impossible to accept it.

So there is probably only one reason, and that is Li Shengtian. He shouldn't be purely excited, saying Zhang Zhao's order is equivalent to his ordering this sentence, at least he has already communicated with Li Congde before that.

And Zhang Zhao also knew that Li Shengtian said these words, but how to deal with the relationship between the remaining two countries, between the two families, still needs to be carefully discussed.

Promises in words often require a lot of energy to be implemented.

Especially for this kind of major event that marks the unity of the two countries, it will take a long time to negotiate just who will advance and who will retreat in terms of various interests.

But anyway, it's a good start.

Zhang Zhao didn't blame Li Congde for being coy and unwilling. If he was willing, it would be called a ghost.

There are only two kinds of people who can be so calm and willing, one is a real big player like Liu Chan, the empress of the Shu Han Dynasty, and the other is a ten thousand-year-old villain like Kang Mazi.

Now it seems, fortunately, Li Congde is neither of these two, he is a normal and ordinary prince.

"Brother is very generous, younger brother is inexplicably grateful, a certain Zhang Erlang is not a person who is greedy for power, but there are some things that he has to do.

Today, my elder brother is considerate of me, and the next day, the descendants of the Li family will be treated like the descendants of the Zhang family, enjoying the royal title and resting with the country! "

Since Li Congde was imprisoned, he was personally taught by the disappointed Cao Yuanxin in a storm of words, and he barely understood the special relationship between his father Li Shengtian and Zhang Zhao.

Moreover, Li Congde can be regarded as a wise master in history. The Khotan Jin Kingdom captured Shule twice, both of which were completed by Li Congde.

He might be very dissatisfied with others, but it doesn't seem so unacceptable to bow his head when facing Zhang Zhao, this cousin who crushes him in every way.

Li Congde accepted it, and Li Congyu had no objection, because it was basically impossible for the kingdom of Khotan to be passed on to him, and he also got a city of Yanqi because of it. What is there to be dissatisfied with?

"Erlang! Let's go to the city!"

Seeing Zhang Zhao's sincere promise, Li Shengtian's heart became more at ease. He took Zhang Zhao's arm and invited him into the city together.

The reason why he waited until now is that Li Shengtian knew that the city of Kucha had an unparalleled meaning in the hearts of Zhang Zhao, especially the descendants of the Anxi army behind Zhang Zhao.

Because the last Anxi army was in this city, defending it to the last drop of blood.

Zhang Zhao and Li Shengtian walked arm in arm, and what followed were not Khotan's Palace Guards, nor Liang Kingdom's Habayashi Guards, but the descendants of Anxi's army numbering in the hundreds.

Guo Tiance, Guo Guangcheng and Guo Guangsheng, descendants of Wuwei County King Guo Xin, Bai Congxin, descendant of Qiuci King Baihuan, Pei Tongyuan, descendant of Shule King Pei Lengleng, and Li Wang Li Qilang, grandnephew of Ningsai County King Li Yuanzhong.

As well as the Yang, Xue, Zheng, Lu and other families, even the representatives of Zhu Qingquan, the descendant of the Anxi army, and the representatives of the Yanqilong family came.

Everyone walked solemnly all the way, and when they came to a courtyard in the middle of Qiuci City, which still had a distinctly Han style, a Qiuci surrender official said in a low voice.

"This is the office of Jiedu envoys in the four towns of Anxi in the original dynasty. People at that time often called it the palace of the Tang Dynasty."

Zhang Zhao looked up, and there were blank clouds on the government office, and the stone beasts in front of the court could no longer tell what the carvings were, but they were still guarding here stubbornly.

"Who lives here now?" Zhang Zhao asked softly.

"The puppet governor Huaishun has been killed by the righteous people." The voice of the surrendering official became even lower.

Zhang Zhao looked at Li Shengtian as if, Li Shengtian nodded to him, Zhang Zhao said immediately: "Today is a good day, you are safe.

Now go gather all the people of Kucha, and within [-] days, rebuild this place into the largest temple in Kucha, gather painters and craftsmen, and paint heroic portraits according to our requirements. "

The surrendering officials were overjoyed and quickly ran down. For the [-] people in Kucha, this was the lightest punishment.

"Bring all the descendants of Jieli Pijia and Pugujun!"

After the surrendering officials went down to make preparations, the main event came. Zhang Zhao kept Jieli Pijia and the descendants of Pugu Jun alive, and was waiting for this moment.

Perhaps because of doing too many evil things, Pugu Jun's descendants have not been prosperous.

After the elder brother of the previous Khan, Wumu Lord Khan, was taken away by the Khitans, there are only five descendants of Pu Gujun in the Gaochang Uighur City.

Zhang Zhao took a step back, because he is not the protagonist at this time, the protagonist is the descendant of the five surnames and three kings of the Anxi Army.

In the family of the five surnames and the three kings in Kucha, Guo Tiance currently has the highest status, so he is the chief surgeon.

For the first time, this mild-mannered scholar of Liangguo Qionglin College, Guo Dashi, who has been serving as a personal secretary beside Zhang Zhao, showed a fierce expression on his face.

In the cold wind, Guo Tiance took off his clothes, exposing his upper body, holding a short-handled Mo Dao with both hands.

In fact, it is the horse-chopping knife made in the Han Dynasty. Tang and Five Dynasties also classified this horse-chopping knife as a kind of Mo knife, but it is generally not used in actual combat, and is often used in some special occasions.

The most common one is that it is bestowed by the emperor to the ministers as a symbol of imperial power. The so-called Shangfang sword is not common, but Shangfang's saber is very common.

Jieli Pika struggled violently, but unfortunately he couldn't utter a single word.

Because not only was his mouth gagged, but his tongue had been cut off long ago, just to prevent him from yelling.

This treatment is not as good as that of the old Zhongyun King Sanpoba. The only good thing is that Zhang Zhao sees that he is also the lord of a country, so he specially made Shangfang Saber to kill him.

Guo Tiance took a sip of strong wine, and then sprayed it on the knife. He raised the saber high, and tears fell from his eyes.

"It's been 100 years. My Anxi Guo family is a descendant of Lord Guo Xin, the king of Jagged County. It is because of you and other villains that a certain ancestor has been infamous for 100 years.

Everyone said that Mr. Guo Sheng betrayed the descendants of the Anxi army. Today, someone can finally say that the men of the Guo family have always been loyal to the country, and they have not betrayed their comrades who guarded the Western Regions alone with them.

Mr. Guo Sheng, the descendants today have cleared up your grievances! "

Amidst the roar, Jieli Pijia's head flew into the sky, and blood sprayed Guo Tiance all over.

And following Guo Tiance's roar, the rest of the descendants of the Anxi army also stepped forward with long knives, beheading the kneeling descendants of Pugu Jun.

The 100-year vengeance of the descendants of the Anxi Army has finally been avenged today.

After beheading Jielipijia, it seems that the sadness that shrouded the descendants of the Anxi Army has almost dissipated.

However, Zhang Zhao and Li Shengtian will not leave Qiuci for the time being, because Anxi was recovered again in 88 years since the Anshi Rebellion, and there must be other celebrations.

. . . .

That night, with Li Shengtian's consent, Zhang Zhao presided over the award for the first time as the kings of the Liang Kingdom and the Dajin Kingdom.

All civil servants and generals are promoted to one level. Of course, this is not a dispatched official position, but a rank and treatment, each promoted to one level.

All soldiers have a consistent reward, and this is not a direct payment, but allows the soldiers to choose freely.

If you want seven or eight sheep, two horses of colored silk are also fine, and a dozen horses of cotton cloth or fifty buckets of rice are also good.

That is to say, with their waist cards and the small piece of silk cloth stamped with the seal of rewarding meritorious deeds from the king of heaven, the soldiers can go to any store in Liang and Jin to buy goods worth the same amount of money.

This is undoubtedly a kind of progress. It revitalizes the market economy and gives soldiers more choices. They don't have to carry a lot of money on their bodies. The government's expenditure is actually less than usual.

At the same time, this is quite a lot of money, Liang Guo has [-] Wen for a bucket of rice, and Khotan Jin Guo has even less.

A bucket made in the Tang Dynasty was 25 catties, and Yiguanqian could buy [-] catties of corn in Liangguo. In this era of precious grain, it is very purchasing power.

Looking at the cheering soldiers outside, Zhang Zhao and Li Shengtian looked at each other and smiled, and then they ordered people to kill cattle and sheep, set up thousands of urns of fine wine, and held a big banquet. The joyful drinking lasted until midnight.

As the noise slowly ended, Li Shengtian and Zhang Zhao, who had already drank a lot, did not fall asleep.

Because the two of them have to finalize the general direction between the two countries, so that the people below can talk about it.

And not only the two of them were present, brothers Li Congde and Li Congyu, Zhang Zhao's double brother-in-law, Li Shengtian's son-in-law Cao Liulang and Cao Yanlu were also present.

Zhang Zhao took a sip of tea, and spoke first, "Uncle, I intend to take Cong Yudi as the governor of Yanqi, who supervises all affairs of Yanqi, and Liulang Yanlu as the governor of Kucha, who supervises all affairs of Kucha.

Moved the Chen family from Yizhou to Gaochang, changed Gaochang to Xizhou, and made Chen Huiyao the governor of Xizhou. Ma Jirong has a lot of experience in commanding the army recently, and he can be the governor of Tingzhou

Then transfer Yizhou to Hexi, take Xizhou and Tingzhou as Beiting Road, and transfer Li Ruoyu as Beiting Road Ambassador and Beiting Defense Envoy, what do you think? "

Zhang Zhao's arrangement can be described as painstaking. Yanqi is stuck between the Yutian Jin Kingdom and the traditional Beiting, which is an important road, so Li Shengtian's second son Li Congyu is allowed to rule.

Kucha was conquered by Li Shengtian, and it is richer and more important, with a strong city. Only Cao Yanlu is the most suitable for such an important economic and military town.

Because he married Li Shengtian's eldest daughter and is Li Shengtian's son-in-law.

At the same time, Cao Yanlu's sister Cao Nineniang Yanxi was Zhang Zhao's queen, and her sister Cao Sanniang Yannai was Zhang Zhao's man in need. He was the only one who could be accepted by both sides because he was in Kucha.

The purpose of assigning Yizhou to Hexi is to ensure Liangguo's influence on Anxi, because Yizhou is actually the bridgehead and logistics base for the Central Plains to control Anxi.

Even Daming, who had never controlled the Western Regions much in history, still maintained considerable influence over the Western Regions during the more than a hundred years of nominally owning Hamiwei.

So Zhang Zhao wants to take Yizhou back to Hexi, so as to control Anxi.

The first reason for moving the Chen family from Yizhou to Xizhou (Gaochang) was because Zhang Zhao planned to take the next generation of the Chen family with him and enter the Central Plains eastward.

The second is that the Chen family is also a descendant of the royal family of the Central Plains, and has great centripetal force to the Central Plains. It is more reassuring to use them to control Xizhou.

Ma Jirong is Li Shengtian's close minister, and he was arranged in Tingzhou. First, he could borrow Ma Jirong's ability, because he is really good at leading troops, and second, it was also to balance the two sides.

In the end, Li Ruoyu was transferred as Beiting Dao ambassador because he was a candidate acceptable to both sides.

As a descendant of Yuchi Sheng, it is very important that he is not far or close to Li Shengtian.

At the same time, his own ability, identity, and qualifications are enough to restrain Chen Huiyao and Ma Jirong.

It was a headache to think about all the twists and turns, but Zhang Zhao had to do it.

Because this is politics, conflicts will always exist, but not the most important thing, the most important thing is how to compromise and cooperate, and reconcile yin and yang.

Li Shengtian nodded appreciatively. Zhang Zhao's methods showed that he was relatively mature politically. As a monarch who was good at reconciling internal affairs, Li Shengtian finally did not worry about Zhang Zhao.

However, this is just an appetizer, and it has not touched the most important part, which is how to position the status of Khotan Jin Kingdom?
Li Shengtian didn't meander, and asked Zhang Zhao what to do?
Zhang Zhao thought about it. In fact, he had thought of many plans, and even thought of using Samanbosi and Suiye Guo's family to check and balance Li Congde and even Li Shengtian.

But from the moment he met Li Shengtian, he gave up this idea.

Although intrigues and checks and balances are often seen under power, there is no shortage of uprightness and magnanimity. Li Shengtian treats him like this, so he can't be too stingy.

"In my opinion, please ask the Central Plains for the seal! You can seal the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom as the King of the Jin Kingdom, and rule Khotan and Shule as the heads of the cities of the Western Regions."

Li Congde, Li Congyu, and Cao Yanlu didn't understand what the King of Jin meant, and they didn't know where such a strange title came out.

But Li Shengtian quickly understood. He smiled and asked Zhang Zhao: "In your opinion, how many years later is it appropriate to ask for a seal? Ten years? At most, it will be 15 years. If it exceeds 15 years, uncle may die. .”

It was only then that the bewildered trio next to them understood that this invitation was not from the current Later Jin court, but from Zhang Zhao, who was determined to rule the Central Plains.

Zhang Zhao nodded, not concealing his ambition, "Ten years should be enough. According to my nephew's wishes, it will be enough for the Central Plains to be ennobled at the level of county king in the future. Can be the highest king of the county.

In the past, the emperor of Zhou, Xia Jun, and the people, began to have the land of China today, so if you want to be named king in the future, you must go out of the Central Plains.

If there is unification in the future, the nephew will definitely take the Anbei Court back to the Central Plains.

But the land of Seven Rivers, the north of Jinshan (Altai Mountain), Hezhong, Suiye, Talas, Khorasan, Tianzhu and other places can only be governed by the vassal princes of Xiajun and Yimin.

The Kingdom of Khotan is the only special case. In the future, my uncle’s descendants and my sons and grandsons will be elected by those who are talented, and they will go west to establish a country, call it the king of a certain country, and turn barbarians into Xia. "

"It's so bold!" Li Shengtian praised, "Is this the purpose you have been trying to expand the trade routes to the middle of the river, Broken Leaf, and the land of the Seven Rivers?
With the merchants as the link, the armored soldiers as the backing, and the blood as the guardian, if you can persist for 200 years, maybe you can really turn it into a summer. "

Zhang Zhao chuckled, "Uncle also forgot one thing, and that is that my nephew needs to use Buddha to appease people's hearts. My nephew is a Buddhist sage king and Dharma king. He is a Buddhist outsider and a Confucian insider. If he mixes it with Taoism and magic, he may be able to accomplish great success!"

Li Shengtian nodded in satisfaction, and said to Zhang Zhao: "So and so, Uncle will help you guard the land of Anxi for another ten years.

Ten years later, the world is unified, the country is rich and the army is strong.It is your Zhang Tianwang's responsibility to develop things. "

Zhang Zhao nodded, and his nephew had already sent people to inform the Li family of Taros, the Guo family of Suiye, and the tribes of Xiajiasi and Uighur in the north.

If you can win the support of all ethnic groups, then you will be honored as Khan, and your uncle will be the uncle and emperor of Jin Kingdom Shengde. "

. . . . .

Late at night, Zhang Zhao bid farewell and left, Li Shengtian brought Li Congde and Li Congyu to the study.

There were only father and son, Li Shengtian was very emotional, he looked at Li Congde and said.

"Sula now understands why a certain person handed over Khotan Jin Kingdom to Zhang Erlang, right?

Because Zhang Erlang's vision and ambition are no longer comparable to yours.

What he looks at is not personal power and wealth, or even the succession of descendants, but the eternal life of China.

Such a mind is very easy to resonate from the bottom of the heart.

I dare say that if Zhang Erlang ruled the world, most of the heroes would follow him.

He entrusted Anxi to me today because he was thinking about the relationship between me and his uncle and nephew.The second is that this land of Anxi has never been able to fight against the Celestial Dynasty of the Central Plains. My uncle, the Son of Heaven, knows how to measure it. "

"Why is this happening? If you let the children choose, wouldn't it be good to live behind closed doors after ruling the world?
That's the Central Plains!If you rule the Central Plains, you will rule the whole world, and there is nothing to worry about in other wild lands. " Li Congyu asked a little puzzled.

Li Shengtian smiled wryly, "So my son, you should be satisfied with being the king of Yanqi. The emperor of the Central Plains doesn't have Anxi, so why should he call himself holy and powerful, and rule the world?
If you think about it again, our Yuchi family is obviously not of Chinese origin, but since the former Wudu County King Yuchi Shenggong, why has he always regarded himself as Tang'er?

Because our basic necessities of life, even our language and thinking, are almost the same as Tanger's, and we can't change our face, but here. Li Shengtian pointed to his heart, "This place has changed!" "

After finishing speaking, Li Shengtian suddenly burst into pride, "Khotan, not only Khotan and Anxi from our Yuchi family, but not Anxi from our Yuchi family.

Since my ancestor returned to the Great Dynasty in the past, this place has been marked with the brand of the Great Dynasty. Our Yuchi family is the watchdog of the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty in Anxi.

If the dynasty is prosperous, my Yuchi family will be able to live in this world, dominating over hundreds of nations and all races, where the wind gets the wind, and the rain gets the rain.

With the decline of the great dynasty, we are in danger of overthrowing. In fact, our destiny has long been tied to the Central Plains.

And you have to know that the Central Plains Dynasty has been fighting bloody battles in Anxi since the early Han Dynasty. How many heroes have shed blood here, it is absolutely impossible to tolerate any separatist lord.

Many kings and city lords in Anxi in the past just couldn't see this point clearly, and ended up dying.

If you two brothers have planned to be locked up in Anxi like Karahikan Saktu, you will definitely kill your descendants in the future.

Look at Pu Gujun, Jieli Pijia was beheaded and killed right in front of your eyes, how are the descendants safe? "

Li Congyu pouted unconvinced after hearing this, "Then father, don't you still call yourself the Son of Heaven? How can a courtier be called the Son of Heaven?"

Li Shengtian also felt a little emotional for a while, "That's because a certain person really couldn't see the hope of the prosperity of the Central Plains back then, and a certain person wanted to rely on Zhang Erlang to complete his ambition of recovering the Western Regions.

But now Zhang Erlang has the possibility of taking control of the Central Plains, so the title of the Son of Heaven should end here.

The king of Wudu County was so loyal back then, but even if the dynasty declined, he could only marry a princess and get a county king with no real power.

Now Zhang Erlang has no real brothers, not even blood relatives. The two of you brothers are his closest relatives.

A small country in the Western Regions with a mere 500,000 people in Khotan can become a blood relative of the emperor of the Central Plains, and the eldest daughter of the emperor of the Central Plains can be my granddaughter-in-law. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?
This is an excellent opportunity for our Yuchi family, the best opportunity to get rid of the barbarian Hu'er forever! "

After listening to Li Congde, he was silent for a while, then nodded lightly, "Thank you for your enlightenment, my lord, Li Congde, from now on, I will be a good watchdog of Dachao Anxi."

"Hmph!" Li Shengtian snorted coldly, "Stupid! If you just want to be a watchdog, why bother so much? Can't you just sit and watch Zhang Erlang succeed?

Good luck to you boy!In the future, I don't need to be a watchdog anymore, because I want to be a watchdog for my family, but I will no longer be a watchdog, but the right arm of the emperor! "

　[-]-in-[-], gone today.
