The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 318: The Forgotten General of the Tang Dynasty - Zhang Yichao
Great Qin.

Ying Zheng watched the exchange of tributes between Zhang Yichao and Tang Xuanzong's rewards.

The more I watch it, the more I feel that this does not look like the recovery of lost territory, but rather like the barbarians taking over the land.

Especially this Zhang Yitan...If you ignore his age, this guy looks like a proton!
"Merge the eleven states? Guiyi Jiedushi?"

Ying Zheng didn't quite understand this behavior.

Would it be better if you appointed him as the governor of Hexi and let him fight on his own?
Appoint him as the governor of Guiyi? Isn't this just tying one's own hands?
unless……

In an instant he understood something.

"... Even such a loyal and righteous person needs to figure it out?"

This is no longer just paranoia.

This is stupid!
If you really have ulterior motives, why don’t you cede the land to me?

……

Big man.

"This Xuanzong is really suspicious."

Looking at the reward given by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang on the sky curtain, Liu Bang found it difficult to connect this man with Li Shimin.

After tying her hair up, Lu Zhi pressed down her clothes, glanced at the sky and said:

"The word 'surrender' is indeed quite mysterious."

"The Tang people came back to their country on their own accord, but the imperial court thought they were foreigners who came to submit because of the reputation?"

"The word 'guiyi' is also quite intriguing, as if to say that Shazhou was a land of barbarians who came to surrender because they were attracted by education."

Liu Bang stroked his beard, twisted the end of it, leaned back and sighed:

"Just look at the reward the emperor gave to Zhang Yichao and you can tell he doesn't trust... the Guiyi Army."

"He did not appoint Zhang Yichao as the governor of Hexi, but appointed him as the governor of the newly created Guiyi Army, which means that Zhang Yichao's power in the Guiyi Army is limited to the eleven states in Hexi."

"If it is beyond this range, it does not belong to Zhang Yichao's Guiyi Army. The Tang court has other arrangements."

"The most obvious one is Wu Hongbian, the chief monk of Hexi."

"One is Hexi, the other is Guiyi..."

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che poured himself a glass of wine.

Took a sip.

"After a hundred years of intrigue between the central government and the vassal states, the Tang court no longer has real trust in the military personnel of the vassal states."

Huo Qubing, who was standing by, felt a little sad when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, if Zhang Yichao is not trustworthy, then no one else is trustworthy."

"If he didn't really admire the Tang court, he could have directly governed himself when he conquered the sandbar."

“That’s because I miss my fellow countrymen back home!”

Liu Che looked at Huo Qubing and thought that this boy was loyal, righteous and smart.

Just still young.

"You are right, but for the emperor and his ministers in the Tang court, the only thing in common between Zhang Yichao's forces and the court is that they speak the same language."

"I don't even have to guess."

"What those people must have thought was that the Hexi region had been assimilated by Tubo for many years, and its customs and culture had created various barriers between it and the inland areas of the Tang Dynasty."

"No matter how loyal Zhang Yichao is, he is still a warrior who does not learn the ways of the king. It is already a great compliment to be compared with the Heshuo vassal."

"Since we are sparing no effort to guard against the Heshuo vassal state, we must naturally be more vigilant against Zhang Yichao of the Guiyi Army."

This sentence made the three people feel uneasy.

Wei Qing could understand this feeling, after all, he was the emperor... they were naturally suspicious of everything.

Wei Zifu thought of the so-called witchcraft disaster. The emperor was indeed a mentally twisted pervert.

Huo Qubing found it unreasonable. As a person who valued family affection, he was always a very emotional person. He could not understand this kind of defense based on rationality and which was already slightly distorted.

……

Datang.

Li Shimin held his forehead and rubbed his temples.

He really wanted to go to Li Chen immediately.

He would open his mind and take a good look.

Check to see if there is a mouse in there!

The other party is a righteous man who traveled thousands of miles to return to Middle-earth!

He is a hero who saved hundreds of thousands of people in Hehuang!

"I am sincere but not trusted. I have to take my elderly brother hostage. I may end up living in a foreign land."

"Tang Dynasty..."

……

【The Tibetan army gathered in Liangzhou.】

[Liangzhou was an important town in Hexi during the Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the early Tang Dynasty, it was the seat of the Hexi Jiedushi who crossed the Tubo and Turkic regions.]

[During the reign of Tubo, it was also the garrison of the great military garrison that governed the eastern part of Hexi.]

[In December 857 AD, the Tubo chieftain Shang Yanxin led the He and Wei states to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and Tubo was destroyed.]

[After the fall of Tubo, the remaining forces fled to Liangzhou and occupied the city together with the various local Tibetan tribes in Liangzhou. ]

[In August 858 AD, Zhang Yichao ordered his nephew Zhang Huaishen to lead Tibetan and Han soldiers to march east to Liangzhou.]

[In March 863, the Guiyi Army finally conquered Liangzhou and completely drove the Tubo out of Hehuang.] [In 866, Zhang Yichao ordered his Uighur leader Pugujun to recapture Xizhou, Beiting, Luntai and other cities, and recovered the Beiting territory that the Tang Dynasty had lost for more than a hundred years.]

[In October of the same year, Zhang Yichao defeated the Tubo army again, beheaded Lun Kongre, and sent his head to the capital.]

【On the death of Kongre, which marked the decline of the once-mighty Tibetan Empire. 】

【Longyou, Hexi, Beiting and other lost territories were recovered by the Tang Dynasty after going through untold hardships.】

[From then on, "the area extended from Yiwu in the west to Lingwu in the east, covering an area of ​​more than 4,000 miles, with a population of one million and the mountains and rivers of the six counties, all remaining as they were before"]

……

Tang Dezong Period
"Hahahaha! Okay! Okay!"

"Damn you barbarians! Aren't you very arrogant!?"

"Hahahaha!"

Li Shi was so excited that he put his hands on his hips and laughed out loud!

"You bully me like this! But my children and grandchildren will avenge me!"

After laughing for a while, Li Shi suddenly remembered something.

If the Anxi Army evacuates the Western Regions, then the sandbar...

But we must not withdraw the Anxi Army...

"Ugh……"

Li Shi's eyes were complicated.

Withdraw the Anxi Army!
……

Tang Xuanzong period
Li Chen fell into great joy!
Restore the Western Region? !
Only this one thing! Who dares to say that I am not the Lord of Restoration?

"The general from Guanxi is definitely a waste of time!"

……

[In 867 AD, Zhang Yitan, who stayed in Chang'an, died. In order to dispel the court's concerns, Zhang Yichao went to Chang'an as a hostage at the age of .]

【After Zhang Yichao entered the court, the court appointed him as the commander of the Right Divine Army and granted him land. 】

[In 872 AD, Zhang Yichao, years old, died in Chang'an, ending his magnificent life.]

[Even a thousand years later, his image was still left in the murals of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang.]

【Remember the great achievements he and the heroes of Shazhou made. 】

……

{Hexi has been in decline for more than a hundred years, the road to Xiaoguan is blocked and the news of wild geese is rare.

Thanks to the general for opening the way back, his heroic name became known to the world! ｝
{If there were heroes like Zhang Yichao in Europe, they would definitely be publicized and known to everyone...but many of our heroes like Zhang Yichao have been forgotten.}
{On the one hand, he was delighted at the recovery of Hexi, but on the other hand, he was wary of the strength of the Guiyi Army because of the lessons learned from the past. Finally, I don’t know why the Book of Tang didn’t even seem to include a biography of Zhang Yichao.}
{Zhang Yichao, a citizen of the Tang Dynasty who was left behind, helped the Tang Dynasty recover thousands of miles of territory.}
{However, there was no biography of him in the later New and Old Tang Books. It was not until Luo Zhenyu compiled the Supplementary Tang Book and added the Biography of Zhang Yichao that his story was passed down and was not buried in the rolling sands of time.}
{After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the central government ignored the Guiyi Army for too long and lacked attention to the northwest. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that Hami and other places were recovered. Xinjiang simply waited for a thousand years until Emperor Qianlong took it back. A thousand years was enough to erase all memories.}
{If Emperor Wuzong had lived a few more years, Zhang Yichao might have been even stronger.}
{If you ask me, the emperors of the late Tang Dynasty were still despicable. To become a vassal, you have to rebel against the imperial court in order for it to be obedient. It would be strange if you don't feel wronged if you act like a bootlicker!}

{What else can you ask of an enclave that has not declared itself an independent kingdom but has instead become a vassal?}
……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang scratched his head.

"Qianlong?"

"Qian means heaven, and Long means prosperity."

“The country prospers under its own leadership?”

“Very confident.”

"This is the kind of confidence that our Ming Emperor needs!"

Queen Ma rolled her eyes at him.

"How do you know he is the Ming Emperor?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at her with an expression that said 'you don't understand'.

"Look at Jiajing, this is obviously a reign title, Qianlong, this is also a reign title."

"In the Han Dynasty, it was called posthumous title, and in the Tang and Song Dynasty, it was called temple name."

"Our Ming Dynasty is obviously called by its reign title!"

“This is all in the same vein!”

Queen Ma curled her lips.

"You also said that the Tang and Song dynasties used temple names, so they are also from the same lineage?"

Zhu Yuanzhang choked.

Did we get it wrong?

……

[In May 859 AD, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was poisoned by taking the elixir offered by the imperial physician Li Yuanbo, and suffered from "thirstiness and dryness" and could not attend court for more than a month.]

[On August 7, he passed away in Daming Palace at the age of fifty.]

[His posthumous title was Emperor Shengwu Xianwenxiao, and his temple name was Xuanzong.]

……

Tang Xuanzong period
The emperor, who was still happy, froze.

……

　Wow, the book was originally about Emperor Xuanzong, but the Guiyi Army occupies half of the content.

　　Looking back, it was the same as Hei Xuanzong...

　　It is really hard to evaluate this emperor whose historical records do not match his actual operations...
