Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 171
September 23.

Tocharo paid tribute to a huge ostrich. In addition to normal food, the ostrich also ate sand and stones, and even ate some scattered small iron pellets. A group of ignorant people were amazed.

The Taishi of the Provincial Taishi Bureau, Secretary, shook his head and wrote down "eating copper and iron".

Fan Zheng pouted, because he had never seen a chicken peck at the sand.

Ostriches eat copper and iron, of course also for grinding food.

This is the north side of Chang'an, one of the four prisons in the Jingyuan of Sinong Temple, the north prison.

Strangely, Ming and Ming historical records refer to Beijing and Duyuan Four-sided Prison, Beijing refers to Chang'an, and both refer to Luoyang. There are still many translations that selectively only mention Luoyang Four-faced Prison.

Inside the fence, the ostrich suddenly vibrates its big plump wings, swings its two short legs, and rushes to the other side, its thin neck looks very funny.

This appearance is slightly different from the ostriches of later generations, but it is just a normal situation in the history of evolution.

Tocharo was only mentioned as a geographical coordinate throughout the "Old Tang Book", but it was written in detail in the "Sui Shu" compiled by Wei Zheng.

One hundred thousand soldiers won, which is considered a small amount in Central Asia.

Believe in Buddha, produce famous horses.

There are more men than women, and the custom is that brothers marry one wife together.

It is nine thousand one hundred miles away from Chang'an.

With this distance, no matter how powerful the Tang Dynasty was, it would be powerless.

Tocharian's tribute has a certain purpose.

"Dear God Khan, poor Tocharo, we are facing a huge threat. In the south of the peninsula, the Great Food has suddenly risen and defeated the huge Persia. The battle of Jalula even made Persia lose the gate of defense..."

Persia is going to be destroyed, will Tochara be far behind?
Under the leadership of the second caliph, Umar ibn Khattab, the Dashi invaded like a fire, and the general Hashim Ut led [-] long-fighting divisions, with simple equipment, in Jalu Ra fought against the [-] elite infantry of the Persian general Mihran.

The defense strategy started by Mihran was extremely successful. The large pieces of rubble in front of the position can also prevent the cavalry from charging.

Hashim Ut let the infantry charge at the beginning. With their spiritual bonus and rich combat experience, the infantry almost broke through to Mihran's formation until Hashim Ut gave the order to retreat. Only then retreated.

Mihran took advantage of the situation and led his army to pursue, but he didn't want to fall into Hashim Ut's trap. The cavalry quickly joined forces, Jalula changed hands, and the Persian door opened wide.

The scale of this battle is not too large, but it is an epoch-making dividing line.

Since then, the new Dashi has crushed the old empire Persia in terms of size.

The ruler of Persia, Yisiai III, fled eastward, and most of the Persian territory became a land of food.

Li Shimin pondered.

"Zhuqing, do you think the trade route will be blocked?"

As for what Persian and Tocharian are, it doesn't matter.

"In Yichen's opinion, it should not be possible. How Dashi expands, it must be managed by merchants."

The one who said this was Wei Zheng, the editor-in-chief of "Sui Shu", and he was one of the people who had the widest view of the outside world.

Li Shimin shifted his gaze to Fan Zheng.

Since Su Hui might be awakened, he should know some secret information.

Fan Zheng, who wanted to be a fisherman, stood up helplessly: "The momentum of Dashi's expansion is irreversible in the near future."

At the same time, Fan Zheng added in his heart that even when your great-grandson picked up ashes, he was also expanding wildly.

"However, the big cannibals are also the most powerful merchants, and they will definitely fill in the business routes."

Even during the Battle of Talas, the Silk Road has not been interrupted, and both sides have tacitly let it go.

It was not until the Tang Dynasty completely lost Longyou that the Silk Road was completely cut off.

As for curbing the food...

Just kidding, the distance is thousands of miles away, even if you can really contain it, can you afford the extra cost?
Even if Gao Xianzhi wins, Talas will not be able to hold on for long.

The expansion limit of the country depends on the limit of logistical capabilities.

The most important thing is that it belongs to the chestnut in the fire!

"Fan Zheng, even though you relinquished your position as the wind watcher, you should also be concerned about the case being tried in Dali Temple." Li Shimin complained a little. "The Dali Secretary tried strictly, and the confessions of the three Fangzhengs were surprisingly consistent. They were bewitched by a charming woman."

"But the strange thing is that the women they are talking about have different appearances."

The traces of the black hands behind the scenes are looming!
"Is it possible that it's Yi Rong?"

Fan Zheng raised this question.

Records of sorcerers from various Asian countries: Make-up in Japan, swords in Silla, photography in the Central Plains, shemale in Siam.

It's all so complete that her own mother doesn't even know her.

There are still possibilities, but the difficulty of finding them has increased a lot. This is not within the scope of Fan Zheng's ability.

……

October [-]th, rest day.

General Dingyuan's Mansion in Dunhuafang was beaming with joy.

I don't know where Fan Laoshi got the three female singers, with a light posture, dancing like a flying swallow, playing qin and Xiao lightly, and the atmosphere is extraordinarily elegant and peaceful.

Girl music refers to registered maiko, official slave status, no more than three female dancers above the fifth grade.

This means that it can't be raised, not that it can't be used. It seems that the head wants to make a ruling. The Fan family didn't take this risk at the beginning.

Otherwise, it would be okay to invite six people, and Fan Laoshi and Fan Zheng each share the quota of the three people.

The dancing female music is very moving, but the appearance is rarely stunning.

Well, it has been intercepted long ago.

Fan Laoshi wore a flat scarf, a scarlet official uniform, wide-cut trousers, a beam belt, black leather boots, and a horizontal knife on his waist. He was dressed as a military officer and stood in the main courtyard with a smile on his face.

Next to him is Fan Zheng who is serving the scarlet color.

Fan Zheng's job is not up to the fifth rank, but the county baronship allows him to enjoy the fifth rank.

It's a great thing for a family with no family background to be able to get into a double scarf suit.

That's wrong, it's Si Fei Fu, and the two foreign wives are also Fu Fei, and the wives follow their husbands.

Yuan Luan and Du Shengxia were wearing the crimson five-tree flower hairpin Zhai clothes, and Wei Wuji behind him was holding the curious fat baby Fan Baili, and his brows were filled with joy.

It's no big deal, it's just a [-]-day banquet, no more mobilizing the crowd, let the whole workshop join in the fun.

But Tie Dazhuang still led Tie Xiaozhuang over to help, and Yeer and his son kept setting up tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks in the East Wing.

The East Wing, whose purpose has not been determined, has finally opened.

In fact, Fan Zheng didn't know how many people he knew, so he hummed the two generals Liu Wen, Hua Ming, Li Yifu, Tang Lin, and Gao Xing.

The number of people is actually not many, because if there are too many people, it is inevitable to be suspected of cronyism.

Liu Yan and Hua Ming came with a smile on their face, and presented some inexpensive gifts, such as small Buddha statues and accessories, and said auspicious words, which made Fan Laoshi smile.

In fact, Li Yi's mansion, one hundred coins, surprised Fan Zheng, how could a brave man be willing to bleed?

As soon as Li Yifu clapped his hands, two pink and jade-carved children came in and greeted each other: "Li Jin, Li Qia, I wish you Yeye and Grandma, I wish you a healthy body and a youthful appearance; Love; I wish my younger brother good health, grow up early, marry a wife and have children early, and continue the incense for the Fan family."

Yuan Luan grinned from ear to ear: "Oh, these two babies, their mouths are too sweet! Come on, come on, each of you will receive a gift of [-] Wen, and you can go back and buy gum teeth!"

Li Jin and Li Qia looked up at Li Yifu, and they crossed their hands after getting his permission: "I dare not resign, Li Jin and Li Qia thank grandma for the gift!"

loss!

Only then did Fan Zheng know that Li Yifu, this brave man, has not changed his sex, but he wants to take it back twice as much!
