Chapter 1024: Ganzhou Uighurs have ambitions, Master Zhebu has a brilliant plan

July, the sixth year of the Great Chapinin
The Ganzhou Uighurs, like the Xizhou Uighurs who occupied the Western Regions, split from the Uighur Khanate that once dominated the grasslands.

During the Kaicheng period of Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty, internal strife broke out among the upper echelons of the Uighur Khanate, and they attacked each other, putting the country's national strength in danger.

The Khitans in the Western Regions took the opportunity to launch an attack. In the fifth year of Kaicheng, they killed the Uighur Khan and burned his tent. The Uighurs were thus split into four tribes.

These four tribes generally migrated in two directions to avoid being hunted down by the Khitans in the northern desert.

Among them, most of the high-ranking nobles in the Khanate moved south, submitted to the Tang Dynasty, and settled in Hebei, where they integrated with the Han people.

The remaining three tribes moved westward.

A part of them moved to the Hexi Corridor and scattered throughout Hexi, collectively known as the Hexi Uighurs.

One group moved to Xizhou and became devout believers in Manichaeism and Buddhism, and were called Xizhou Uighurs.

The last group migrated the farthest, to the Seven Rivers Basin, where they merged with the local Tiele tribe and established the most powerful Karakhanid Khanate in Central Asia at that time.

The Ganzhou Uighurs were the most powerful among the Hexi Uighurs.

When the Ganzhou Uighurs first arrived in Hexi, it was the most prosperous period of the Tibetans, so they were the first to be annexed by the Tibetans.

Later, there was internal strife in Tubo, the Guiyi Army rose up, and Tubo accepted the rule of the Guiyi Army regime.

It was not until the late Tang Dynasty, when the Tang court was unable to look west, that the Ganzhou Uighurs broke free from the control of the Guiyi Army and stepped onto the stage of Hexi in an independent manner.

During the reign of Emperor Ai of Tang, the Guiyi Army was once again cut off from the Tang Dynasty. It was heard that after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Chengfeng, the governor of the Guiyi Army, established the Jinshan Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor.

After the establishment of Jinshan Kingdom in the Western Han Dynasty, it began to expand into the Ganzhou area, intending to fight back to the Central Plains for hegemony.

As a result, a war for Ganzhou broke out between the Jinshan Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty and the Ganzhou Uighurs, which lasted for decades.

Finally, under the joint attack of Ganzhou Uighurs and Xizhou Uighurs, the Uighur soldiers marched straight to Shazhou. Zhang Chengfeng was defeated and ceded land in exchange for peace, giving up Ganzhou and Suzhou and retaining only Shazhou.

Not only that, Zhang Chengfeng was also forced to call the Ganzhou Uighur Khan his father.

As a result, the Guiyi Army regime, which had been active in the Hexi region for hundreds of years, disappeared.

After the Ganzhou Uighurs defeated the Jinshan Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty, the Karakhanid Khanate rose to power, defeated the Xizhou Uighurs in the northern part of the Western Regions, and occupied one-third of the southern part of the Western Regions.

The Ganzhou Uighurs became the overlord of the Hexi region.

In addition, the Dangxiang people of Xiazhou, who were originally very active in the Hexi region, were recaptured by Daxia and withdrew from the Hexi stage for a time.

With no threats from the north and east and the Qilian Mountains protecting the west, Ganzhou Uighur Khan Yaoluo Gerenyu naturally turned his attention to the Tibetan tribes in the south.

Because of the strong rule of the Tibetans in their early years, the Uighurs were shrouded in psychological trauma and had never dared to take action against the Tibetan tribes in Liangzhou and Hehuang areas.

Now that the Uighurs have risen up, the first thing they naturally want to do is to avenge their previous humiliation and smash the dark shadow hanging over their heads.

They also occupied Liangzhou and Hehuang regions, which not only increased their strength but also provided a way to attack the Central Plains.

At that time, we will form an alliance with the Liao people and the two families will join forces.

The Liao people directly attracted the Xia people's firepower and plundered the Xia people's Guanzhong area on a large scale. This might help to revive the hegemony of the Uighurs.

No matter what kind of Uighur Khan you want to be, you must be the 'Heavenly Khan'.

When the time comes, I will become an emperor and make everyone spread the name "Yaoluo Ge Renyu" until the sun no longer rises.

Thinking of this, Yaoluo Ge Renyu showed an intoxicated expression, and a boundless fire burned in his chest, and he felt extremely proud.

Now that Liangzhou City has been conquered, as long as we take Qingtang City, which was once an important base of the Tibetans in the northeast, we can take over the entire Huangshui area.

Not only that, the capture of Qingtang City meant the defeat of the most powerful tribe in the Tubo Alliance. Without a leader, the Hezhou region would easily succumb. At this time, the leader of the Tubo people, Zhebu Jiashi, was pacing anxiously in the mansion, constantly asking:
"Have the reinforcements from the Xunhua tribe in Hezhou arrived?"

The middle-aged Nieba (housekeeper) in charge of external affairs wiped his sweat and replied tremblingly: "Master, I don't know. The Uighurs have surrounded Qingtang City and we have lost contact with the outside world."

"Where are the people from Daxia? Have the envoys sent to Daxia returned?"

"do not know."

Zhebu Jiashi's eyes widened, and he grabbed the silver cup on the table and smashed it at the middle-aged Nieba, breaking his forehead. He pointed at him and cursed:

"I don't know what you did."

After being hit, the middle-aged Nieba did not dare to cover his wound. He knelt on the ground and kept asking for forgiveness, his body shaking.

At this time, a strong butler walked in from outside the door. He seemed not to have seen anything. He knelt on the ground with his forehead touching the ground and saluted:
"Master, the Buddha invites you to come over."

Zhebu Jiashi put down his hand that was pointing at the middle-aged Nieba, snorted coldly and walked out. When he passed by Qiang Zuo, he ordered:

"Kill this useless thing and let those Chaba and Duiqiong see what happens to those who are infected by the devil."

"Yes, my lord, as you wish."

After Zhebu Jiashi disappeared, Qiangzuo dared to raise his head. He changed his respectful and flattering expression, pointed coldly at the middle-aged Nieba who was bleeding and weak, and instructed the Chaba (compared to the guard) who had been standing outside the door:

"Drag this useless thing away, peel his skin off in public, and tell people that this is what happens when you don't listen to Master Zhe Bu."

"Yes, Master Qiangzuo."

After that, two strong chabas picked up the unconscious middle-aged Neba and dragged him out of the room.

Soon, in the somewhat dark room where no one was, two young and thin female slaves appeared with cleaning tools, wiping the blood on the ground by themselves.

After a while, it was as if nothing had happened in the room.

Zhebu Jiashi is still the feared and respected Lord of Qingtang City, the master of the Zhebu family, and the most respected donor of Buddhists.

According to Zhebu Jiashi's temper, the Tibetans in the city had no intention of fighting hard to resist the attack of the Uighurs.

After all, being ruled by Zhebu Jiashi is no different from being ruled by the Uighurs.

But Zhebu Jiashi brought out a person that all Tibetans could not refuse, the son of the Zamp, who was hailed as the incarnation of Buddha, the son of Buddha, Zuosila.

With Zuo Silu, the Tibetans could no longer allow Qingtang City to be breached and the Buddhist disciples to fall into the hands of the dirty Uighurs.

The time came to September.

The Uighur army continued to attack Qingtang City, a famous city in the eyes of the Tibetans, regardless of the losses.

But the Tibetan defenders in the city fought desperately like crazy, causing Yaoluo Gerenyu to waste three months in this seemingly small city.

Not only that, more and more Tibetans gathered around. If they had not been concerned about the large number of Uighur soldiers, they would have rushed forward to lift the siege of Qingtang City.

"Your Excellency Khan, someone is coming from Hezhou. They have crossed the Yellow River and are heading towards us."

A Uighur general hurriedly lifted the thick door curtain and rushed into the tent.

A burning anger, the pungent smell of beef and mutton, and the lewd music entered his ears and eyes.

Yaoluo Gerenyu discontentedly got off the looted Tibetan noblewoman, closed his cloak tightly to cover his private parts, and said dissatisfiedly:
"Why panic? They are just some stupid Tibetans. Just send some troops to get rid of them."

"No, they are under the banner of 'Xia'."
