The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

It is said that when Guo Nuan led the beautiful rose girl team in the arena of Zhishan City.He has been missing for half a year.His old man Guo Ziyi and a bunch of relatives and friends in Shuofang Lingzhou Military Region of the Tang Dynasty were very worried.

half year ago.Due to the planning of the Qinghai Lake winter offensive, both the son and the Tubo princess disappeared due to Shuofang Jiedu.This caused a complex political entanglement between the two countries for a time.first.Datang's huge plan to recover the frontier land was shelved.And Tubo lost the window period of religious saints.The domestic Tubo dynasty was also in turmoil.Naturally, there is no way to stir things up.

half year ago.After Guo Ziyi received news that her sixth son, Guo Nuan, had kidnapped the Tubo princess and fled to the Western Regions.He realizes the importance of the matter.Guo Ziyi immediately sent Guo Nuan's immediate superior, Hai Dui, and his second son, Guo Yi, to lead more than 2000 elite cavalry on an expedition to the Western Regions.The purpose is to find Guo Nuan back.Of course, the most important thing is to return the Tubo Princess Toma to the Tubo Dynasty safely.

Because Guo Ziyi, the Jiedu envoy of the Lingzhou Military Region, had received an edict from Daizong, the ruler of the Chang'an Central Dynasty.At present, several Jiedu envoys in Guanzhong are ready to move.The royal family collapsed.The central military is weak.The few self-respecting Jiedu envoys in the Central Plains are likely to gradually become bigger.

In order to concentrate power to stabilize the Jiedushi forces who intend to create chaos in the country.So as not to repeat the tragedy of the Anshi Rebellion more than ten years ago.Guo Ziyi changed his strategy.Want to revise the contract with Tubo.Secure the border.It was possible to draw part of the strength of the frontier army to supplement the defenseless Central Plains.

Of course, the ruler of Tubo Zambo is focusing on the Silk Road in the Western Regions in the northern part of the snow-capped plateau.The Western Regions are the commercial center route connecting China and the West.Who can master this piece of land.It means having a steady stream of economic profits.Of course, the forces in the Western Regions are intricate.A big food in the Iranian plateau.Turkic remnants in Siberia.And the Chinese, the former conquerors of the Western Regions.They are all wrestling in this field.

However, Tubo has been busy defending the Tianzhu army that is about to cross the Himalayas in the past few years.Tianzhu people are ambitious.The country is strong.The Tibetans had to guard against it.

So now the Tubo people have to worry about the sneak attack of the Tianzhu people behind them.The current Tang Dynasty relationship can be slowed down for a while.

Said a lot.It took half a year for Guo Ziyi to send troops into the Western Regions.Guo Nuan and Princess Tubo were still not found.To repair relations with Tubo.The first key is to find Tubo Princess Doma first.Then it was safely sent back to Tubo territory.

"Hoo hoo. I'm so hot."

In the endless yellow desert.A cavalry of no less than 500 people is trekking hard.Leading a scouting team was a shirtless Da Biao.

Now I haven't seen Guo Nuan for almost half a year.Da Biao believed it.If Guo Nuan appeared in front of him now.Surely Guo Nuan would be surprised.

"Quack. Fatty. How did you become skinny? Tsk tsk. This fat body has turned into lean flesh."

Thinking that Guo Nuan would definitely say this.Da Biao thought wanderer.He rode a Dawan horse.The horses snorted continuously.It is estimated that the wind and sand were blown into its nasal cavity.

"Old Guo. You kid traveled to the Western Regions for more than half a year. You took a beautiful Tubo princess with you. It's good to be free and easy. But we guys are exhausted."

Da Biao has strong muscles.Soaked in sweat, it looked shiny in the harsh sunlight.

"Da Biao. I'll give you water." Ah Fu was riding up on a camel.Ah Fu is now tanned in the sun.Chapped lips.Dark and thin.Looking at Da Biao felt distressed for a while.This Afu kid.Originally, I was a leisurely companion to study in the high-rise compound in Chang'an.Raised in vain and fat.Following the poor son Guo Nuan, he was demoted again and again.Arriving in the Western Regions is really suffering.The white and fat youth has now turned into black charcoal bean sprouts.However, he has grown a lot taller.Grind into an adult.

"Hey. Ah Fu. Thanks."

Da Biao took the water bag neatly, raised his head and gulped down a big gulp.Hot to death.The shirt on Ah Fu's back was covered with glistening salt stains.In the hot sun.After a while, the sweat was evaporated and turned into salt.Then sweat again.So cycle.Dry and wet.Wet and dry.

Turn around and look.There was a shout behind him.It turned out that the carriage at the position of the army squadron got stuck in the sand pit.That carriage is Guo Nuan's second brother.Guo Yi rides.

I can't count the number of times the wagon got stuck in a sand trap.Da Biao sighed in his heart.It's hard for Guo Yi to join the army.In order to find his younger brother, he followed everyone to the Western Regions through thick and thin.

In the past six months.Da Biao's Tang army experienced many adventures on the way to the Western Regions.

After they set off from Shuofang first.Encountered a Mongolian pasture on the way.The white sheep on the green grassland are full of slopes.Take a wrong look.I thought it was the clouds floating in the sky and fell on the grass.

Of course, the tribal soldiers of the Western Turks were vigilant and monitored the Datang army passing through their tribal territory alone.once.Da Biao's army ran out of food.They are going to spend money to buy military rations from a tribe in Mongolia.Unexpectedly, they were expelled by Mongolian soldiers.

In order to preserve strength.Avoid provoking incidents and delaying the task of finding people.Guo Yi ordered their cavalry to retreat all the way.Headed west hungry.

The Gobi in the west is much more desolate than the grasslands in the north.Fortunately, they encountered several waves of small traders transporting camels.The silver from the Tang Dynasty was exchanged for food and fresh water.to continue the march.

I remember passing the Cheshi Ancient Road.It can be described as extremely thrilling.The mountain road is rugged.There are many blockhouses standing on the cliff.The mobility of Da Biao's cavalry was greatly reduced.

Camped in the ravine in the middle of the night.Suddenly, he was attacked by four thousand bandits who were entrenched in the mountains.Countless boulders as big as millstones rolled down the mountain.In the middle of the night, the army hurried out of camp and fled in embarrassment.The corpses of more than 200 compatriots and a large amount of supplies were left behind.

Consider what happened to the driver.Half a year has passed.Da Biao was also very angry.It is said that it was attacked by local bandits who were familiar with the terrain that night.The cavalry in the dangerous terrain are completely unable to exert their combat effectiveness.Panicked.They broke into the devil area of ​​Danxia Gobi.

Devil lot.Stone mushrooms are everywhere.Vegetation is extremely sparse.Accompanied by gusts of howling wind.whining.Especially at night.It was like howling ghosts and howling wolves.It was appalling.

Of course broke in here.It means reaching the death zone.Rusty horse harnesses can be encountered from time to time on the Gobi gravel.Tattered and decayed animal hides.And a large number of white bones of livestock.There are also human bones.These are left by caravans passing through the place.

Just started a few days.Da Biao and his troops save food to survive.But dry food and fresh water lasted for a few days. More than 1000 people ran out of food.As a last resort, the spare army horse was slaughtered.Eat horse meat.Drink horse blood for support.

It's fifteen days.They were still wandering around in the labyrinth-like stone mushroom area without getting out.Not until the last moment.The last main battle horse left by each cavalry cannot be slaughtered.I can't stand the hunger.Then he took out the horse bones that had been gnawed on the skin and flesh, took them to the dead grass and lit them on the fire and roasted them again.Eating a hard bone and saving it.

Finish the horsemeat.eat bones.If you eat bones, you eat belts made of cowhide.This army horse is also miserable.cassava.Horse food made from sun-dried vegetables is also shared with people.The horse couldn't hold on and fell down.Skinny as a bone.Immediately, everyone rushed to roast and share the food.As the coach, Guo Yi also fell ill from hunger.

But the hard times finally came to an end.After trekking in the Devil's Realm for more than [-] days.Da Biao and the others saw an oasis on the edge of the desert to the west.Seeing the beacon tower with thick white smoke

Then the tribal towns in the oasis blew their horns.The city gates are closed.The city walls are full of soldiers from the Western Regions with bows and swords.At that time, the Tang cavalry, whose armor and equipment were already in tatters, were in a state of food shortage.But the oasis is not far away.A large group of soldiers stood in front of him.

Fortunately, I came to the city gate.As the chief general, Guo Min held up the Talisman of the Tang Dynasty.Send a translator to speak out to resolve the misunderstanding of the tribes in the city.

This is a small country in the northeast of the Western Regions called Weixu.Benefit from the nourishment of the oasis undercurrent.Surrounded by lush vegetation.Because it surrendered to the Han Empire in the Central Plains hundreds of years ago.Therefore, I still respect the Chinese people in the East.

When a group of nearly [-] Tang soldiers came to the city of Weixu.They seem to have found out.It seems that they have returned to their hometown city in the Central Plains thousands of miles away.

Because the architecture and culture of Weixu State deeply bears the characteristics of the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty.Pocket-sized bucket horn cornices.Corridors, pavilions and pavilions.There are also rockery gardens.The private palace of the king of this small country was completely modeled after the palace of the Han Dynasty.

The arrival of Da Biao and the Tang cavalry.Bring more than 2000 pieces of fine silk.There are thousands of pieces of ceramics.These are undoubtedly sought-after goods in the Western Regions.Naturally, when Guo Min asked the soldiers to put these items in front of the king to offer a deal.The king was overjoyed.The Central Plains ceramics and silk worth thousands of gold were exchanged for food.Undoubtedly, King Weixu regarded it as a gift from an envoy sent by the Tang Empire to his tribe in a small country.

These were exchanged with the king for a large amount of food and iron equipment in Weixu City.Of course it is more important.More than 3000 fat and strong horses from the Western Regions were purchased here.[-] camels.

In other words, if it weren't for the lack of firewood in the devil's domain.They made fire with cloth.Otherwise, there would be more than just these cloths.

When Da Biao and the others laboriously packed more than 7000 stones of millet, millet, and millet into more than 1000 sacks and carried them to the camel team.The whole formation put on shiny new armor.This time, the down-and-out Datang cavalry was refurbished all of a sudden.All of them are heroic and high-spirited.Now I am no longer afraid of going hungry.

Grape.Wine made from wheat, barley, and sorghum was also transported in more than 2000 wooden barrels.Guo Min planned to find people in the Western Regions, and his journey was boundless.Simply do business travel and wine trade in the towns along the way.

They are guarded by powerful cavalry.and adequate supplies.The transportation is smooth and unimpeded all the way.Bandits along the way.Although the robbers coveted the goods of Dabiao's troops.But don't dare to think of robbery.In the next robbery.Mi Guo made a fortune.Instead, Guo Min earned 10,000+ gold coins in the Western Regions.

Unfortunately, in these countries.Although Guo Min took the Tang cavalry around the Western Regions and made a lot of money.But the whereabouts of his younger brother Guo Nuan and Princess Tubo have never been found.
