The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Guo Chen came to Niya City with more than 1000 cavalry.This is a beautiful and peaceful city.It is said that its handicraft industry is very developed.It combines the bronze forging of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the iron art of the Western Folin.No doubt it produced a great deal of metalware of excellent quality.

First of all, Guo Min sold all the thousands of sacks of medicinal herbs in Niya City.Replaced with common items in life.Like a knife.iron sword.Bronze ornaments.copper bowl.shovel.chisel etc.These items are strong and durable.Traffic cargo in harsh desert.Much easier to preserve than delicate herbs.

Of course, more than 1000 well-equipped Tang cavalry descended on the small town of Niya in great force.He was warmly received by King Niaz of Niya.

Guo Yi also received an important gift from King Niya.Inlaid with more than 500 pieces of exquisite gold carved armor.There are also hundreds of small diamond particles shining white on it.

This important gift can be described as extravagant.Guo Min's relationship with King Niya soon warmed up.It is said that King Niya likes oriental culture.When this group of Eastern troops who had set foot on the Western Regions for a long time came.The Niya people seem to have seen the scene hundreds of years ago when their ancestors greeted the big Han cavalry and declared the favor of the Khan Emperor.

Stay in Niya Palace.Guo Yan was chatting with the king.The king inadvertently chatted with the young man from Tang Dynasty who stayed in Niya city a while ago.

Mention Guo Nuan.King Niya looked at the Tang cavalry general in front of him.It seems that there is quite a similarity between the eyebrows.

"Eh. Guo Nuan. Guo Yan. The surnames are coincidentally the same. Do you know each other? They come from the same family." King Niya asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, you know my brother Guo Nuan." Guo Yan almost lost his composure and jumped up from the stool.Surprise flashed on his face.

It's just a coincidence.Soon the king talked about Guo Nuan's experience of coming to Niya.

After learning that Guo Nuan was rescued by a Western European businessman named Della after encountering robbers in the desert.Guo Yan frowned.Put it this way.His younger brother, Guo Nuan, is just one person.So where did Princess Tubo go?

It was hard to find clues.Unexpectedly, things became complicated and confusing.

But King Niya was also surprised.Unexpectedly, Guo Nuan was such an extraordinary young man.It turned out to be the son of Marshal Datang.At the same time, he is also the son-in-law of the eldest princess of the Tang royal family.

It seems that his daughter Reheman is quite fond of Guo Nuan.It seems that this person is a dragon and a phoenix.There is no time in life to force.I can't keep it anymore.King Niya is also very optimistic about Guo Nuan.After a burst of regret in my heart, I was relieved.

Later King Niya said a few months ago.The Deira merchant hired Guo Nuan to go to the depths of the Western Regions.It sounds like he's looking for a woman.

Guo Yi guessed.His younger brother Guo Nuan mentioned that the woman he was looking for was most likely the princess of Tubo.It seems that Tubo Princess Toma was not killed by Guo Nuan.Undoubtedly, a big stone fell from my heart.

It is said that when he was demoted to the Shuofang Military Region.Guo Nuan also poured bitter water on his second brother Guo Min.Among them, he was very angry about the outrageous and rude conflict of the Tubo princess who had a grudge against the Jingzhao government office.

When I heard that Guo Nuan had kidnapped the Tubo princess in the mountain city of the Tubo military stronghold in Qinghai Lake.Guo Yan's heart tightened.He was quite worried that his younger brother would kill the princess of Tubo in a moment of recklessness in order to vent his anger.

But Guo Yan didn't know.Guo Nuan and Doma encountered many things on the way to escape to the Western Regions.The relationship between enemies and enemies has become ambiguous.This is also beyond his imagination.

After receiving Xiang Dalu and Prince Nilih of Niya Kingdom.He was about to leave with his men and horses to continue chasing Guo Nuan's footsteps.However, Guo Yi learned that the small city of Niya was about to be attacked by the neighboring powerful enemy Wusun State.

It's worth it.Niya is just a small town with rich business.With the gradual decline of the Western Turkic backing in recent decades.Its fat meat is coveted by the surrounding tribes.

Now catastrophe looms.There are only more than 3000 soldiers in the whole city of Niya.receive news.There are more than 7000 enemy soldiers in Wusun, where the army is overwhelming.Both the king and Prince Nilih were worried.

Guo Yi came into contact with the peace and simplicity of Niya City.Especially when the city accepted his younger brother when his life was most vulnerable.

Made a cavalryman with a sense of justice.Guo Yan immediately extended a helping hand to Niya.The addition of 800 Tang cavalry gave Niya a strong confidence in an instant.

Wusun sent a large number of axe-throwing soldiers.These infantry fighters have only simple armor.He wore a leather helmet.There is also a wooden shield.Usually holds two shiny hand axes in both hands.There are also a few spares pinned to the waist.

These ax arms are said to be absent in Datang's army establishment.Axe-throwing has strong western characteristics.It was the first time that Guo Min led the army to fight against such a strange and powerful army.However, relying on the strong strength of the cavalry and confidence in its own art of war.He felt that the balance of victory was in his favor.

The city of Niya was first before Wusun's army overwhelmed the border.The king recruited more than 5000 civilians to repair the fortifications of the city wall.Set up firewood and fodder.Digging underground canals.The urn stores water to fight a protracted war.

It is said that the previous generation of Niya kings almost encountered the danger of Niya's destruction.To a large extent, it is because the water source is not guaranteed in the city defense battle.Only then did the Tuyuhun enemy wear down.

Now King Niaz has learned his lesson.Dig a lot of wells.While leading the canal into the city.Call on the townspeople to reserve water sources.

But King Niya didn't expect it.With the assistance of Guo Ji's Datang cavalry.There is no need for a protracted war.

After Guo Yi took over the agency of the military commander of the whole city of Niya.He schedules steadily.Assign tasks efficiently.Prepare a lot of rolling stones and oil on the walls.Lay more than 100 giant crossbows brought by his own cavalry from Datang.The large crossbow machine that can load [-] bows and arrows at a time is very powerful.

And the fire beats the wood.What reed grass filled with oil wax.fork pole.The Tang Dynasty's defensive tactics of pushing down the siege ladder with the horizontal blade also amazed King Niya and the city residents.Undoubtedly, Guo Yi, the young general of the Tang Dynasty, has risen to a very high status in their hearts.

However, Wusun's army is not as fragile as it appears on paper.When black masses emerge from the continuous sand dunes like locusts.Those barbaric, fierce and fearless axe-throwing soldiers charged forward continuously.

The powerful arm strength accurately threw axes one after another.The Niya soldiers on the wall suffered heavy losses.

To avoid being passive.Guo Ye opened the city gate.He personally led more than 1000 cavalry to fight.

These ax throwers.Sufficient physical fitness.Be the first to attack with an ax throw from a hundred paces away.Although the armor of the cavalry is strong.However, many horses wearing part of the armor were seriously injured and fell down.Axe-throwers often aim their axes at the legs of cavalry horses.Attack at the ankle.This caused a lot of trouble for the Tang cavalry.

However, the equipment of the tribal army in the Western Regions was backward.It is far from the opponent of the Tang cavalry of the Eastern Empire.The cavalry withstood the pressure.A swooping goose formation.The army galloped with iron hooves.

The hand rises and the knife falls.Long spear.Ring first knife.The ax-throwing soldiers who killed melee were crying and howling.We are losing ground.Compared with the disparity in military strength of one to seven.The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty slightly injured more than 8000 people.The small loss of three killed defeated more than [-] Wusun ax throwing soldiers.

This battle completely established the reputation of the Tang cavalry in the Western Regions.afterwards.Guo Ziyi did not expect that he would undoubtedly send a small army of hunting cavalry to spread the great reputation of Datang in the Western Regions.This act of demonstrating military muscle has invisibly gained huge potential value for Datang's diplomacy.in the coming decades.The diplomatic exchanges between Datang and various countries in the Western Regions.A good situation has opened up in business and trade.The mentality of Western Regions centrifuging and Eastern division has also disappeared a lot.

afterwards.As a defeated country, Wusun was shocked that Niya received strong support from Tang cavalry overnight.After the defeat, the king of Wusun signed a peace and non-aggression treaty at the border of Niya Wusun.The diplomatic achievements of the two small countries in the Western Regions benefited from the witness of Guo Yi.

Wearing a luxurious gold crown on his head.It is studded with clusters of pearls.The ruby ​​and emerald look very dazzling.Such an honorable King Wusun of the Western Regions imitated the etiquette of the previous kings of Wusun.He knelt and saluted to Guo Yi, the envoy representing the Tang Dynasty, the king and his ministers again.

"Follow the heavens. The emperor said..."

Since Wusun is in awe of Datang's strength.Wants to revert to subject state.There is no harm to Datang's business interests in the Western Regions.Why not.Guo Xi boldly summoned the envoys.Accepted the surrender of King Wusun.

When King Wusun presented the envoys of the Han Dynasty hundreds of years ago with both hands. .Bronze staff.After Guo Yi replaced Zong and accepted it.Changed the seal of the governor of the Tang Dynasty to King Wusun.

But afterwards.Unexpectedly, King Niya offered to surrender to Datang again.become a vassal state.Guo Min followed suit and rewarded him with a Talisman Festival of the Great Tang Canonization of Niya Governor of the Western Regions.

But listen to King Niya.Deep into the inland of the Western Regions.The forces there are intricate.If Guo Yan wants to represent Datang to surrender these tribes scattered throughout the desert oasis.I'm afraid it won't be easy.

All beginnings are hard.Guo Yi knows that this historical task cannot be rushed.After the war between Wusun and Niya is resolved.He led the cavalry to the next stop.

The caravan of the merchants of Deira mentioned by King Niya.Keep going west.But it has been four months since I lost contact.The vast Western Regions.Guo Yan was also not sure if he could find this businessman.Thus met the sixth younger brother Guo Nuan.

The winding path leads to secluded places.After passing through the sandy sea around Niya.Guo Ji's cavalry army came to the primitive and simple grassland mountains.Interestingly.There are many corpses piled up on the grass here.Local people say that these are five or six meters tall.Rumor has it that the descendants of Rome died after the country was destroyed.The products left by some Roman nobles when they migrated east to the Western Regions and fled.

The giant stone man with rough and simple lines.It existed before the birth of the local tribes.It is estimated that it was created by people earlier than these tribes.

in.Guo Yan was surprised to find out.There are some stone statues that look like griffins.This is somewhat similar to the idols worshiped in several cult dens that my own cavalry swept up earlier.

Could the cult have some connection with Rome?There was a big question mark in Guo Yan's heart.But the most important thing for him at the moment is to find Guo Nuan and Princess Tubo first.

After passing a stone grassland.They came to a mountain range.Hundreds of ancient tombs sprawl across the rocky summit.These tombs are Turkic.

There are Turkic tribes distributed in the vicinity of the tomb mountain area.Guo Yi inquired about the traces of the Deira Business Hotel.Say something.They just stay there.Discussing the sale of mountain stones.Guo Xi was overjoyed.
