Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 5 The dangerous situation in Longyou, stationed in Guazhou

According to statistics after the war, 20 corpses were left on the Tubo side, and [-] people were killed on the Tang army side, and [-] people were seriously injured.

These Tang soldiers buried the corpses of their companions with sorrow, and then prepared to return to Guazhou City with their seriously injured companions.

When Li Yanliang knew the identity of the county king, he asked about the letter from the Hexi Jiedu envoy asking for help.

This Xue Cheng was just the brigade commander in command of 100 people. After seeing Li Yan, he was terrified, and couldn't ask anything. He just went to the city to find the governor of Guazhou, Zhang Mian, and explain it to Li Yan.

Guazhou was not far from the battlefield. Under Xue Cheng's leadership, it took everyone an hour to arrive at the city of Guazhou.

"The rain on the bank passes over the city, and the oriole goes to the tower.

There are tears in the flowers, and nostalgia in the willows.

The white hair is a mirror of sadness, and the youth is exchanged for the fur.

You have been envoys from thousands of miles, and you have heard that you have arrived in Guazhou. "

Cui Tao read a poem, and Yu Chixin who was beside him asked:
"Is this a poem about Guazhou?"

Cui Tao nodded and said: "This is Cen Shen's "Wuwei Spring Evening Wen Yuwen Judge The Western Envoy Has Arrived in Jinchang". Calculating the time, he should be in the Beiting of Longyou Road now."

Yu Chixin was taken aback and said, "You said the person who wrote this poem is still alive?"

Cui Tao nodded and said, "Well, he's still alive. I don't know if the game has this NPC, but I still like Cen Shen's frontier poems."

Yu Chixin said with a smile: "Then you can't copy it anymore, the master is still alive."

Cui Tao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Who said I'm going to copy it, I just expressed my feelings after seeing this ancient Guazhou city."

The city wall of Guazhou is not high, and there are stretches of farmland outside the city.

The Shule River flows along Guazhou City, and not far to the north is the famous "Daze" in Longyou Road in the Tang Dynasty.

Cui Tao looked at the fertile fields and said: "In our era, Guazhou was already surrounded by deserts, and Daze, which was once famous in the Tang Dynasty, had evaporated long ago."

"I didn't expect Guazhou to be so rich in the Tang Dynasty. No wonder people in the late Tang Dynasty felt that Longyou was rich."

"I don't understand your sour things, but Guazhou is pretty good. Can we develop here?"

Cui Tao nodded: "Guazhou is a good place, it is the most suitable place for our wretched development."

"However, I don't know whether Zhang Mian, the governor of Guazhou, cooperated or not."

Zhang Mian, the governor of Guazhou, was a thin middle-aged man, and he was a cautious official.

After verifying Li Yan's pass defense and seal, seeing the fish amulet that Li Yan dispatched troops, and the golden seal representing the county king, he opened the gate of Guazhou City and welcomed Li Yan and his party into the city.

But after entering Guazhou City, Li Yan felt a chilling atmosphere.

Every household in Guazhou City is wrapped with white gauze. The population in the city is small, and it is a bleak scene.

Guazhou City is the city of Guazhou, the most prosperous place in Guazhou.

Datang adopted a county-state-dao three-level system.

A county is a county seat, for example, Guazhou City is the county seat of Guazhou.

The state is a prefecture-level city composed of several counties. If we just talk about Guazhou, it is a large area near Guazhou City.

Dao is composed of several states. Compared with the provinces of later generations, Longyou Dao is a huge province, covering the vast area from Xinjiang to Gansu to Central Asia.

It stands to reason that Guazhou City is the state city of the entire Guazhou, and it should be a prosperous and prosperous place.

I didn't expect it to be so withered.

While entering the city, a system prompt sounded in my ear:

[Congratulations to the host for defeating a Tubo army and winning the love of the soldiers and civilians in Guazhou!Luck +50 points. 】

This battle is really a big profit!

Although a few players were injured, none of them were seriously injured.

According to Xue Cheng, if you enter Guazhou City and ask a doctor to bandage it, it will be fine.

After receiving 50 points of luck, Li Yan asked:

"System, besides resurrecting people who have just died, how else can you recruit players?"

[The host can use luck points to create a body, and a little luck can create an adult body, but the attributes of the created body are mediocre. 】

Li Yan silently calculated that one point of luck recruits the player's soul, one point of luck pinches the player's body, and two points of luck recruits a player.

This seems to be a little more expensive than directly reviving the newly dead.

But the advantage is that it is very troublesome to revive someone who has just died, and it will show flaws if you meet an acquaintance.

Moreover, there were not so many dead bodies for Li Yan to revive.

If it is more expensive, it can also provide players with the function of pinching their faces.

Next, Li Yan said to the system: "System, opening a forum in Blue Star requires 20 luck points, right?"

[Yes, host. 】

"Then set up the game forum first. All netizens can browse the forum, and only players can speak with their real names."

"Can I also go to the forum in the game? Can I also go to this forum?"

[Yes, this forum connects two worlds. 】

"Then make a special section on Tang history, and give 2 contribution points to the player who moves the most materials every month."

[Ok, host. 】

There are still 30 luck points left. If you recruit players, you can only recruit 15 people.

It's better to save some points before recruiting. Now that you have entered Guazhou City, it is considered safe for the time being.

Zhang Mian welcomed Li Yan and his party to the Governor's Mansion, and after entering the Governor's Mansion, Zhang Mian, who was wearing a red official robe, said:
"Your Highness, the Lord Jiedu sent a letter of appeal for help to Lingwu, and His Majesty sent a large army to garrison Longyou?"

"Forehead?"

"His Royal Highness! Now Dalun Shangqi Xin'er in the north of Tubo keeps crossing the Qilian Mountains, creating conflicts between Tang and Fan. A while ago, some Tubo frontier troops crossed the Dangjin Pass and plundered the vicinity of Shazhou City. They also sent a small group of Fan The army raiding and disturbing Guazhou City is the group of soldiers that His Royal Highness met before entering the city."

Hearing Zhang Mian's words, Li Yan was also taken aback.

Unexpectedly, the situation with Longyou Dao was so critical.

You must know that Shazhou City (Dunhuang) is an important town in Longyou in the Tang Dynasty, and there are [-] Ludou troops stationed there, specializing in the defense of Tubo.

However, before entering Longyou, Guo Ziyi also told Li Yan that after Tubo learned of the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, they must take action to embezzle the land of the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that Li Yan didn't expect Tubo to move so fast!
Zhang Mi said with tears in his eyes: "Nowadays, households outside Guazhou City have been plundered many times. These Tibetans not only rob food and livestock, but also arrest ordinary people and bring them back to Tibet as slaves."

"The Han people who became Tubo slaves had a very miserable end, and they would often be tortured to death in less than three years!"

"The veteran also asked the Moli army to go out of the city to find the Tubo army to fight, but now the Moli army has only 500 people left, and it is barely enough to guard the city of Guazhou."

"This time Commander Xue disobeyed the military order and went out to fight in the city, almost ruining the hundred elites!"

Li Yan asked suspiciously: "The Moli army is a frontier army, and the full quota is at least 5000 people. Why are there only a hundred people left?"

This time, Zhang Mian said with tears in his eyes: "In the past, the emperor dispatched all the troops from Longyou to attack King Qin of Yumen Guan. Moli's army consisted of 5000 people, leaving only [-] old and weak. All the [-] strong and strong died in Tongguan."

Now it was Li Yan's turn to be embarrassed.

The battle of Tongguan was caused by Li Yan's grandfather Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's random command, which led to the disastrous defeat.

Li Longji insisted on using the veteran general Ge Shuhan, who had suffered a stroke and hemiplegia, to lead the army, and stationed 20 troops to guard Tongguan, the central gateway.

Ge Shuhan wrote to the emperor at Tongguan, requesting to defend Tongguan to the death, and wait for the Qin King's army from all over the country to arrive before going out of the city to fight Anlu Mountain for a decisive battle.

But Li Longji insisted on micromanagement, thinking that his 20 vs. An Lushan's 15 has the advantage.

Order Ge Shuhan's entire army to go out of Tongguan and fight Anlu Mountain.

Ge Shuhan couldn't disobey the military order, so he had to give up sticking to Tongguan and go out for a decisive battle.

The final result was that the 20 Tang army was defeated, and Datang completely lost its last mobile force.

Among the 20 troops, there are soldiers drawn from various military mansions in Longyou Dao.

Li Yan thought that when he entered the city, everyone's homes were hung with white hemp.

It turned out that all the soldiers of Guazhou died in Tongguan, so every family wore mourning.

Thinking of this, Li Yan became even more silent.

I only heard Zhang Mi say: "I heard that Tubo Zanpu learned of the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, and immediately ordered Shang Qixin'er of the Beilun Avenue to cross the Jieshan Mountain, and plot to seize my Longyou Dao of the Tang Dynasty."

"All the prefectures in Longyou Dao have been harassed by the Tubo army, and there are even rumors that Tubo wants to carve up Longyou with the Uighurs!"

"Emissary Yang Jiedu has already approached His Majesty Lingwu. If the court loses Longyou, it will cut off trade with Dashi and other countries from then on. This is tantamount to giving up the achievements of the development from the Taizong Dynasty to the Emperor's period! "

Hearing Zhang Mian's impassioned words, Li Yan lowered his head.

His purpose of coming to Longyou was also to gather all the troops to enter King Qin of Shuofang.

But he didn't expect Longyou to be corrupted to such an extent.

Li Yan raised his head and said: "I'm telling you the truth, Governor Zhang! My father let me go to Longyou because I want to mobilize all the troops from Longyou to join King Qin of Shuofang."

Hearing Li Yan's words, Zhang Mi fell to the ground.

"If you draw people again, Longyou of the Tang Dynasty will perish!"

Then Zhang Mian wailed loudly regardless of his image, and said while crying:
"The minister was a Jinshi in the third year of the emperor's Kaiyuan. He could have stayed in the capital to enjoy the peace and be a leisurely minister."

"Later in the year of Tianbao, General Gao Xianzhi led the armies of Anxi, defeated the Dashi army in Hengluosi, and dominated the Western Regions! At that time, the minister was fascinated by the Western Regions, thinking that the big man would make contributions in this frontier, so he told the emperor, please release Long The right is the official."

"But why has it been less than ten years, and Datang can't even defend Longyou, which was developed for a hundred years?"

Li Yan felt a little unbearable, he supported Zhang Mi and said:

"Prefect Zhang, you are loyal to the country. This king will express his love to the emperor and transfer you back to the Central Plains."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Mian said in disregard of etiquette: "I will leave, and Yang Jiedu will also leave. Will the 80 Han people in Longyou be able to leave?"

Li Yan was speechless for a while, Zhang Mi bowed his head to Li Yan and said: "My lord, the old minister has lost his composure. The king's order is hard to disobey, the country is in danger, and I, Longyou Dao, also have the duty to send troops to serve the king."

"But you can take the soldiers away, the veterans will stay in Guazhou City, and guard the border for the country with the elders in the city!"

Li Yan looked at Zhang Xian's gray hair on the temples, and his mood was turbulent, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yan finally raised his head, looked at Zhang Mi and said, "I'm not leaving! Great rivers and mountains, why do you want to surrender to the bandits?"
