Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 813 Zanpu, Come and Meet Your Aunt

The envoys of Jinyi's personal guards set off very quickly, almost non-stop, station after station, heading west.

This is because there is a reason for Zhang Tie's saying 'don't suffer any damage'.

In this era, traveling [-] li eastward from Talas, it is normal for even a man in his prime to die on the road, let alone a woman.

Not to mention the officials below, there are so many who can figure out the emperor's heart.

They would think that although the emperor didn't pursue it magnanimously, he must still feel very uncomfortable.

If I were a little harsher and let this little girl die on the road, wouldn't it be a great achievement.Although the saint can't say anything, he will definitely be in the emperor's heart!

It is precisely because he has a deep understanding of the mentality of the people below that Zhang Tie issued such an order.

It is not uncommon for Hamid to have died of illness, so using someone like Guo Yuer to go to Bukhara to raise Hamid's son Mansour can be regarded as a stab in the heart of Saman Persia. sharp knife!

With such a high-level internal response, the Central Plains Dynasty can take advantage of various opportunities to spread its influence to Saman Persia, step by step to separate this country from the Abbasid Dynasty that has not yet completely perished, and place it in the middle of the Central Plains Dynasty. under protection.

Then continue to instigate the relationship between the Persians and the big cannibals, so that after 30 or [-] years, when the next generation brainwashed by the big Zhou grows up, they can drive the Persians to attack the big cannibals.

Let the Persians go to Baghdad, Damascus, and Cairo to be the second devil, and the real Zhou people live in the upper class to be the prince.

Zhang Ting never thought of being able to completely occupy West Asia, because it was impossible or extremely difficult to achieve, but it is still possible to rule for 200 years, collect a lot of wealth, and leave a claim for future generations.

Therefore, Zhang Teng didn't care at first, and Guo Yu'er, who didn't care if Zhang Teng was killed directly on the road, can't die now.

If she died, it would be difficult to find another suitable candidate like this.

Maybe we can only send Sefiye or Pantaya back to Bukhara. If that's the case, we will face more variables, and then we may be cuckolded, or the two sisters have mastered it. With great power, it is not certain whether he will be willing to step down after ten years.

And the political ability of these two sisters, well, it cannot be said that they are not without, but they must be under Shi Chonggui, so it is difficult for them to take on this important task.

Zhang Tie's guess about people's hearts is very accurate.

The captain of Jinyiwei and the general Yuhou, who escorted the king-level captives in the river all the way, did have the idea of ​​letting Guo Yu'er die on the road "naturally" and win Jian Zaidi's heart.

. . . .

Eight hundred li Mohe Yanqi, blowing yellow sand all over the sky, bean-sized stones hit the face, as painful as being stretched out with two fingers.

Guo Yu'er's shiny black hair became withered and yellow, her lips were dry and cracked, and her fair and tender face was covered with cracks left by wind, sand and scorching sun, like dead bark.

A not-so-thick hemp rope was deeply strangled into Guo Yu'er's shoulder. On the other end of the hemp rope was a package-like object made of tattered leather.

On this package, there is a little boy with a pale face, with a big mouth looking up at the sky, and the mouth and eyes that cannot be closed are filled with yellow sand.

Apparently he had been dead for a long time.

Guo Yu'er dragged the package desperately, and walked hard on the sandy ground in Mohe Yanqi.

Shenshezhen brought Yuhou Zhang Sheng to the front, looked at this woman he hated, and was silent for a long while, before persuading:
"Everyone is dead, let's leave it in the desert. The yellow sand in Moheyan is the best grave."

Guo Yu'er glanced at the water bottle wrapped in layers around Zhang Sheng's waist. After waiting for a while, she knew that Zhang Sheng would not give her a drink, so Cheng Cheng completely gave up and shook his head stubbornly. Looking at the girl beside him, he said:
"Don't worry, Ah Qi, if you die, your aunt will drag you out as well, if you don't let you die, you will suffer from the yellow sand exposing your body."

Guo Yu'er's eldest brother handed over two men and one woman to her, thinking in his heart that he still wanted to keep a queen.

But just like his elder brother didn't firm up his loyalty to the saint, betrayed his ancestors, tarnished the glory of his ancestor Guo Xingong, and suffered retribution, the two boys died one after another, and now only this girl, Qiniang, is left.

Qiniang raised her head, looked at the haggard Guo Kuang'er and nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Auntie, if you die, Ah Qi will definitely drag you out of this yellow sand."

Zhang Sheng listened in a daze, for some reason, he suddenly felt inexplicable irritability, as if someone was scratching his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys with his hands.

"Fuck your mother, fuck your mother, fuck your mother!" Zhang Sheng cursed three times irritably, took off the water bottle from his waist, and slammed it on the ground in front of Guo Yu'er.

"Thieves and slaves, such a person, with such a heroic ancestor, how could he be involved in such a thing."

Guo Xun'er resisted the urge to rush over to open the water bottle and drink it all in one gulp, saluted Zhang Sheng with great perseverance, then picked up the water bottle, and fed Qiniang who was about to dehydrate first, while she kept swallowing and had long since stopped drinking. The presence of saliva.

"Passing Moheyanqi, it is Hexi. There are not one or two people who miss you. Whether you can live or not depends on God's will." After Zhang Sheng finished speaking, he pointed to the sky, and then he didn't look back. gone.

Behind the crowd, the school captain Yin Shishilang in a white robe looked at Zhang Sheng with a smile, "Tian Shenu, you didn't believe me when I told you that you couldn't do it a long time ago."

Zhang Sheng, who always loves to argue with others, did not refute for the first time, but sighed heavily, "This woman is a ruthless person! I should have pushed her off the cliff to death the first time I saw her. "

. . . .

Budu Village, this is the first military village after passing through Mohe Yanqi, which means that the spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass. It is located near the east section exit of Xingxing Gorge in later generations, and after passing through Budu Village, it is Shazhou It's Dunhuang.

Dunhuang was the site of Zhang Sheng's family and the place where the Guiyi Army started. Although it didn't win the title of a capital city, it was the capital of Buddhism at this time.

(Al) In the plateau south of Jinshan Mountain, [-] households in Moxi north of Guasha, and even the entire plateau, people usually come to Dunhuang to worship the Buddha on weekdays. Only when the emperor summons them will they go to Chengtian Liangzhou Mansion or Chengde Mansion .

Therefore, Budu Village, as the gateway to the west of Dunhuang, sounds like a military village, but it is actually very large, and since the Silk Road became popular, people going to Dazhou from the west can be said to be overwhelming.

Guo Xun'er looked at the tall gate of Budu Village in the distance, and the long line of half a mile lined up at the gate of the village, and was stunned.

There are so many of these merchants that a huge market is formed outside the gate of Budu Village, and merchants from all over the place will also trade some items here.

In addition to the trading area, there are also some food shops opened by Shazhou locals, selling some crispy sesame cakes, steaming cooking cakes, soup cakes, snow-white Chongluo white noodle steamed cakes, etc.

There are even Zeng cakes, a high-end food made of glutinous rice, red dates, brown sugar and other materials, as well as thick wine that smells so hard to walk.

As for beef and mutton, bah!That's a bird (diao) rarity.

There are not many other things in Hexi, that is, there are many cattle and sheep, but at the same time, the grain production is average, so thick wine and glutinous rice from Jiangbei, Jiangnan and other provinces are rare things.

Qiniang made hoo hoo noises, and involuntarily walked towards a peddler selling steamed cakes. The crystal white glutinous rice and the brown sugar that looked like it was about to drip honey made this little girl who had gone through all kinds of hardships completely lost. reason.

The peddler is not surprised, then Mohe Yanqi is not a place for people to stay, it is normal for someone who can pass through that hell to suddenly see Budu Village.

The peddler was surnamed Chen, the Chen of Zhang Shengren's great-grandmother Chen's family.

He also set up his stall here on purpose, because after passing through Moheyan, and suddenly seeing the extreme reversal of the human world, those merchants are often willing to spend two or three hundred yuan to buy him a small piece of steamer cake .

Regardless of the normal price of this steamed cake, which is only a few pennies, it seems that what they bought was not a steamed cake, but a passport to return to the world.

The peddler surnamed Chen saw this huge team from a long distance away, and when he was wondering if there would be enough steamed cakes to sell, he saw such a young lady walking over like a madman.

The peddler was about to kick him down when he suddenly realized that although the girl was extremely embarrassed, she had black hair, black eyes, and a standard Han face, and the expression on her face immediately relaxed.

He skillfully divided a large piece of rice cake into a wooden bowl. How easy life is in the Central Plains now, and those who can drag their families to the west, according to the sage, are the heroes of our clan.

"Oh, who's little girl, it's so pitiful, she's going to suffer from this Mohe Yanqi at such a young age, come and eat a zeng cake to regain her senses, it doesn't cost money!"

The steamed cake was about to be handed to Qiniang, and Guo Yu'er had a smile on her face, because she had seen this peddler from a long distance away, how he mercilessly beat the servants of the Hu merchants who came to beg for it.

However, at this moment, Chen Xiaofan saw the captain in Jinyi wearing a white robe in the team, "Yin Shishilang, you are the one who came back, this is...?"

Yin Shishilang grabbed the bowl of steamer cake, ate it into his mouth in two or three bites, then snatched the wine gourd from Chen Xiaovendor's waist, and poured it down. After a hard-won pause, he ordered Nodding his head, he squeezed out a few words between his teeth, "That's right, it belongs to Suiye Guo's family."

"He, Tui!" Vendor Chen's face changed drastically, and he pushed Qiniang who came to beg for it to the ground, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and kept wiping Yin Shishilang's body with his hands, as if he had been polluted just now generally.

"Damn thief slave, you still want to eat Lao Tzu's steamer cake, and you won't sell it to you if you give me money. Go eat shit!"

Guo Wei'er was stunned, she didn't cry during all the hardships all the way, and the moisture in her body was almost evaporated, but at this moment she broke her defenses, staggered and squatted on the ground, and wept almost silently with her mouth open, Like a wild beast abandoned by the clan.

"Ah! Emil, it's really you! Emil! How did this happen? How did this happen!"

When Guo Xun'er was crying, suddenly a Hu businessman in the crowd who was queuing up to pass the customs also howled in pain.

Because he found that the tall man who was tied up like an animal turned out to be the Amir (Amir) of Shiguocheng, their king.

And he is a barbarian from Shiguo City.

Immediately, the crowd outside the Budu village shook, and many people recognized Talib from Creek and Yinal from Oguz, all of them paled in panic, talking non-stop, and Others cried out.

"Woooo!"

The conch horn blew, the gate of Budu Village opened, and a group of cavalrymen wearing silver and white battle robes outside and black iron armor on the inside galloped out.

When the barbarians outside the village saw it, they stopped crying and clamoring, and all fell to their knees on the ground, even the camels they were carrying were mostly dragged to the ground.

The leading officer pointed at Chang Leng, the Sogdian businessman from Shiguo City who was the first to cry, like an antelope chosen by a tiger, trembling and knelt on the ground, not daring to move, and then he was led like a dog. gone.

Seeing this situation, Amir, the governor of Shiguocheng, suddenly yelled crazily, with tears streaming down his face.

The officer turned the horse’s head, got off the horse after a few steps, and took out a long whip from the side of the horse. Like whipping a wild dog, he beat Amir and his party and rolled them all over the ground until they dared not make any noise. After that, he stopped.

Guo Xun'er, who was originally extremely sad, looked at all this in shock. Seeing that Amir, who was regarded as an emperor in the eyes of the people in the river, was beaten to the head by a team managing 50 people, everyone thought it was normal.

It turns out that this kind of ruler who manages tens of thousands of people is just a noisy bastard in their eyes?
The five flowers are tied, but there are doctors accompanying him, even if he is afraid that he will die on the road, Guo Guangyi's eyes widened. He looked at Amir who was rolling on the ground, and then at the towering gate of Buduzhai. He didn't know what he was thinking. .

After a short period of confusion, the gate of Buduzhai opened, and Zhang Sheng who sent the captives to Beijing naturally didn't have to line up.

After the defenders came over and saluted Zhang Sheng, the team of soldiers dispersed to maintain order.

As soon as the warriors in Buduzhai dispersed, countless barbarians surrounded them. They all held up a wooden sign engraved with their names, hometowns and goods, and stood around like pigs and sheep waiting to be selected by their masters. .

Zhang Sheng looked at Guo Yu'er with a smug smile, "It's all waiting for us to choose, follow us into the customs, and go through the Han passage, with less formalities and faster clearance, otherwise, you have to honestly line up at the gate of the village for half a day. It's all fast."

Then Zhang Sheng looked at the soldiers under his command and shouted loudly: "Everyone pays one person, and each person brings one. Don't allow too much."

Guo Xun'er pointed at the swaggering barbarians not far away. They brutally pushed away the other barbarians surrounding them, and no one stopped them from entering through the Han people's special passage.

She asked in a low voice: "Where did those barbarians come from? How could they walk through Tang'er's passage."

Zhang Sheng raised his head, and exchanged hands with a yellow-haired, black-eyed barbarian inside.

"These are not barbarians. Don't talk nonsense. If they hear it, they will be scolded at least, and they will come up to beat them. Have you seen the jade plaques on their waists? They are from the Jin Kingdom of Khotan."

"Hey! It turns out that they are from the Kingdom of Jin. These fellows can be regarded as well-developed, and they have easily become Tang'er." Chi Tian said enviously behind him.

I, Zhang Shengren, all started from the Kingdom of Khotan, so naturally we should give preferential treatment to the people of the Kingdom of Khotan. In Zhangzhou now, as long as he has a household registration of the Kingdom of Khotan, no matter what his appearance is, he can enjoy the treatment of Tanger.

Zhang Sheng gave Chi Tian a white look, "Why don't you pick a barbarian to carry your parcel for you, what are you still doing here? You always don't want money when you have less money, don't you?"

Chi Tian was taken aback for a moment, then pointed at his purple-red hair and beard, and asked in surprise: "Is a certain Tang'er considered?"

"Of course, if you, Chi Tian, ​​are not considered Tanger, then no one will be considered Tanger. Not only you, but your whole family is Tanger. When you arrive in Tokyo, the sage may even give you a surname."

Zhang Sheng said loudly, causing exclamation from the side. After Chi Tian was stunned for a while, tears rolled down his eyes, as if all the pain had finally come to him at this moment.

. . . .

In Xijing Chengtian Liangzhou Mansion, nine-year-old Seljuk looked at the scene in front of him, completely speechless from ear to ear.

From the perspective of the nine-year-old him, this city is completely unlikely to appear in the world.

The city wall was tens of feet high, and there were rows of two- and three-story buildings on both sides. There seemed to be more people coming and going on the street than their entire tribe.

The cleanliness of the streets made him feel ashamed of himself, and he didn't even know how to place his feet when he walked, as if he was afraid that his dirty feet would tarnish this fairyland.

There was a smell of honey mixed with meat, and Selkirk kept swallowing his saliva. He followed the place where the smell came from and looked through a window.

A man in silk clothes was picking up a piece of crystal clear fat, a little honey dripped down, the reddish brown intersected with the bright white, the feeling, the saliva in the impacting Selcuk's mouth was like a tide poured out.

Yin Shishilang quite likes this kid, he is smart, agile, hard-working and studious, he knows a lot of things at a glance, and he has a good foundation, he has rules in riding and shooting at a young age.

He has written these characteristics in his report to the conductor Zhang Lieming, and of course he also wrote it in the secret performance to the emperor.

Seeing that Seljuk was too hungry to walk, Yin Shishilang walked into the restaurant with a smile, brought out a portion of braised pork with rock sugar, and gently put it in Selkirk's hands.

In fact, in this era, the best pork is more expensive than beef and mutton.

Of course, the best pork refers to the kind of big fat pigs that are raised in a clean environment and forcibly fed with good grain.

Fat should be the most advanced enjoyment of human beings during the period of insufficient supplies. Every bite represents not only delicious food, but also a guarantee that they can live more easily than others.

Seljuk took only one mouthful, and then trembled all over, and tears welled up in his eyes. At that moment, it was as if Tengri had descended, and the whole world seemed to be sweeter.

Then, under the surprised eyes of everyone, the kid moved his calf, ran to Talib who was chained, stood on tiptoe, and fed the braised pork with rock sugar into Talib's mouth.

After seeing Talib take a bite, Selkirk ran back to feed his mother, aunt, brother, and sisters, and all the while he couldn't help but take a bite himself.

Talib, who had completely lost his former prestige, burst into tears.Amir, the governor of Shiguocheng, looked at Talib jealously, then at Seljuk's back, and suddenly sighed.

At this scene, Yin Shishilang couldn't help being moved. He looked at Talib and said with some emotion:
"Unexpectedly, a unicorn appeared in the den of thieves. Maybe your Creek Department will not have such a sad life in the future."

The team stopped in front of the Yamen of the Hexi Province, and after passing through Liangzhou, it was the hinterland of the Central Plains in the true sense.

According to regulations, when frontier troops like Shenshe Town arrive here, they will deposit their armor, strong bows and crossbows in the arsenal of the Hexi Defense Envoy Yamen. They can only carry simple weapons such as horizontal knives.

As for the task of continuing the escort, it is necessary to wait here for the Hexi Defense Envoy to send the guards to take charge.

Qiniang's face rose a few blushes that were not normal at first glance, her teeth were clenched, and accompanied by bursts of convulsions, she was actually convulsed with a high fever.

Guo Yu'er just knelt at the gate of the government office, her eyes were full of despair, from Budu Village to Liangzhou, it was a full [-] miles, she couldn't hold on any longer, she turned to point at Guo Guangyi, and said through gritted teeth:
"Lieutenant Yin, because of this bandit's rebellion, Duke Bai killed [-] members of Li Guoshou's family and [-] members of Guo Bandit's family in Talas.

Suiye and Talas have a total of 27 people, and 6 people involved have been exterminated.

Everyone paid a huge price for their unsteadiness, and the slave should die, but Qiniang is only seven years old, can't she live?Even if you don't join the Jiaofang Division, you should treat her illness! "

Yin Shishilang was silent for a moment, "Under the Putian, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers. Thunder, rain, and dew all come from above. Whoever dies lives, the sage has his own judgment."

As he said that, Yin Shishilang pointed his hand at the envoy who was galloping in the distance, with the golden sun flag on a silver and white background symbolizing the emperor's personal messenger.

The person who came was Suo Gude, who was named Jin Yi's personal guard general, but never cared about anything.

He is the grandson of Suo Xun, the fourth-generation Jiedu envoy of the Guiyi Army. He has always been in Tokyo and helped the emperor manage Qionglin Academy, which is the Royal Library. He did not expect to come here as an angel at this moment.

But right away, Yin Shishilang understood why, because an old woman with white beard and hair was sitting on the shoulder behind Sogud.

This old woman is none other than Suo Gude's aunt and Zhang Shengren's cousin Suo Shi.

Since the last heir of Emperor Huan Zuding Zhang Yichao, his daughter Zhang Lishi passed away seven years ago, the almost 80-year-old Suoshi, as Zhang Yichao's granddaughter, is the only one who is still alive among Zhang Yichao's third generation descendants, and the only one who has seen Zhang Yichao Old auspicious.

With her status, if she travels, even the emperor will hold her shoulders to show respect. As a member of the Guiyi Army, Yin Shishilang certainly knows the seriousness, so he ran forward to salute and say hello in three or two steps.

Suo's health is very good, naturally, the Zhang family now has a holy master, who will soon rule the world, Suo's coming from the suffering of the Guiyi army's fratricide, seeing the current prosperity, even if he could only live for 70 years I am 90 years old, and now I can live to be [-] or [-] years old because of a good mood.

Sogude and Suoshi were entrusted by Guo Tiance, because Guo Tiance's son was betrothed to Sogude's granddaughter, so Guo Tiance was able to invite Sogude.

The chicken-skinned and white-haired Suoshi slowly stepped forward. In Guo Yan'er's eyes, it seemed that this was a god who came to save him.

Suoshi looked up and down, "He is really a formidable lord, a delicate person who has walked [-] miles with his feet in the wilderness without revealing his corpse. He is quite similar to my fourteenth aunt."

The fourteenth aunt Suoshi mentioned was Zhang Lishi, Li Cunhui's great-grandmother who died seven years ago.

This is not a simple person. 60 years ago, she killed Suo Xun's father, Suo Xun, and helped her nephew Zhang Chengfeng take back the family property.

Then he and his sons attempted to occupy the position of Jiedushi of the Guiyi Army, but Zhang Chengfeng fought back and killed him, leaving only one of the four sons.

Look, with regard to betrayal and killing, the Guiyi army, since Zhang Yichao, is not only familiar with the road, but also insane.

"Please ancestor save this girl's life!" Guo Kuang'er raised Qiniang high with his head on the ground.

Suoshi nodded, and the doctor who followed took Qiniang over, and said in a low voice for a long time: "The evil wind has entered the body, and the disease is dying. Whether she can live or not depends on her life."

Febrile convulsions, even in later generations, are very dangerous. At this time, it is really only fate.

Suo Shi nodded, "This is considered to be a death once, if you can live, it is God's will."

Then she looked at Guo Yu'er, "You are so persistent, how did you come down to this point?"

Guo Yu'er kowtowed again, and blood rolled down from his forehead, "I lost my mother at the age of two, and my father at the age of eight. Brothers and sisters-in-law are greedy. How can I be independent when I am surrounded by wolves. I only wish to die early."

"Ah!" Suoshi let out a long sigh, "Your sister took the risk for you. Your nephew is exiled for you. You must repay them well in the future!"

Hearing Suo Shi's words, Guo Yu'er burst into tears, and then her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, her body went limp, and she collapsed on the ground.

At this time, there was a lot of noise outside, and someone came to report: "Grandma, the logical Zanpu has arrived."

Everyone suddenly looked into the distance, Tubo Zanpu!
For the Central Plains at this time, especially for the people of Longyou in Hexi, it was as if they were above the nine heavens, and everyone who was once overwhelmed could not breathe!

Suoshi was shocked at first, and then became furious. People at her age who had experienced Zhang Huaishen's era didn't have a good impression of Zanpu, so she lost her temper.

"So what about Zanpu, let him come to visit my aunt!"

Well, that's right, Zanpu Chiwang and Xu Zan's name is Uncle Zhang Teng, so Suo Shi is Zanpu's aunt.

Guo Guangyi, who was tied up in the prison car, struggled violently when he heard this.

The four words Tubo Zanpu are not only in the Central Plains, but also in the river.

After the Tang Dynasty, whoever prevented the Great Cannibal from further eastward expansion was naturally the majestic husband Tubo Zanpu.

It turns out that the Central Plains has really revived!Even Zanpu went down the mountain, and Guo Guangyi screamed with the remaining half of his tongue. Only now did he realize that he had really chosen the wrong path.

(Since some book friends have objections, then write less about this character in the future. Book friends know that there is such a person in Bukhara, helping to control the Saman Persian government, and separating the Persians and the big cannibals.

One more thing, criticisms are welcome, this is the attitude of Tiger all along, but it is not advisable to talk too much. )
