King of Song

Chapter 222 Green Tang City

Qingyi knot ghost chapter?
For Lin Zhao, who was not particularly familiar with the history of the Song Dynasty, especially the history of the Northwest War, this name was a little strange!

He didn't know that it was this person who made the Song Dynasty's few successes in opening up territories fail, and then affected a series of diplomatic and war decisions in the Song Dynasty, and even affected the national destiny of the Northern Song Dynasty.It never occurred to them that one day, they might become opponents on the battlefield.

All in all, Lin Zhao only regarded the young general in front of him, who was not very tall but had an extraordinary bearing, as an ordinary Tubo general.

Either the generals stationed at the frontier, or the accompanying envoys sent by Tubo Zanpu Dongzhi.

On the way to Qingtang City, Lin Zhaocai had a better understanding of Qingyi's Guizhang.Of course, the content is still very limited.

Guizhang's family has a certain reputation in Tubo, but its strength and influence are not very great, so it was only a small general in the army at the beginning.

Two years ago, on the birthday of the Lord of Liao, Tubo sent envoys to celebrate the birthday.Although the two countries do not border each other, the influence and power of the Liao Kingdom in the east is self-evident. In addition, the Princess Ling Jiemo of the Liao Kingdom is one of the wives of Tubo Zanpu Dongzhi.It can be seen from this that the status of Hehuang Tubo is very important.

The Liao State is also forming an alliance with it through marriage. For the Liao State, Tubo is a good containment for the Song Dynasty and Xixia, and it is a good ally.

Qing Yijie Guizhang was a member of the Tubo birthday celebration mission, but at that time, he was only a follower of the envoys.

Opportunities are always for those who are prepared. Qing Yijie Guizhang carefully pays attention to all the situations along the way, especially the mountains, rivers, geography, people's livelihood and economy of the areas he passes along the way.

It was precisely by virtue of these accumulations that in a battle against Xixia shortly thereafter, Qing Yi made a great contribution by knotting a ghost chapter, and quickly attracted the attention of Zanpu Dongzhi.

At this time, Jiao Siluo passed away, and the situation in Tubo can be said to be internal and external. The new Zanpu Dong Zhan urgently needs some outstanding military talents to stabilize the situation in Tubo.

Qing Yijie Guizhang has outstanding military talent and is a rare young hero, so he soon gained Dong Zhan's attention. Now it can be said that he has been specially trained carefully. Right now, he is completely a rising star in Tubo. Don't underestimate it.

Along the way, Lin Zhao didn't communicate much with Qing Yijie Guizhang, and he didn't know how much this young Tubo general knew about him.

Qing Yijie Guizhang just observed Lin Zhao silently, and fulfilled his duty to escort the Song Dynasty mission to Qingtang City.

In the Huangshui Valley in autumn, the leaves have fallen all over the ground. Although it is a bit depressed, the scenery in autumn is still very good.

On August [-]th, after more than a month of trekking, Lin Zhao led the Great Song Mission to Qingtang City, the capital of Hehuang Tubo.

Qingtang City, also known as Shanzhou, was later renamed Xiningfu, which is the famous city on the plateau in later generations.

Jiao Siluo was initially controlled by Li Lizun, and mainly stayed in Zongge City. Later, after taking power alone, he moved the capital to Qingtang City, which can be regarded as completely separated from Li Lizun's foundation.

The entire city was built on the banks of the Huangshui River, with a circumference of tens of miles. Although it was far from Bianjing in the Song Dynasty, it was already comparable to the cities of ordinary wealthy states.

Today, with the addition of a southern route passing through Qinghai Lake on the Silk Road, Qingtang City has become a place where businessmen from east and west gather, and is an important transportation hub, and its prosperity is self-evident.

The night before rushing to Qingtang City, Xin Wenzhe came to say goodbye!
"Tomorrow we will arrive at Qingtang City. Thank you for your shelter and care along the way. We will leave early tomorrow morning!" Xin Wenzhe spoke earnestly, with a slightly gloomy expression on his face, and he seemed vaguely lonely.He didn't call the official title in words, and he didn't need to call him at all, forming a wonderful tacit understanding with Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao nodded lightly: "Okay, be careful!"

For some reason, after An Ran arrived at Qingtang City, Lin Zhao suddenly regretted it, and his doubts about Xin Wenzhe seemed superfluous.Thinking about the interrogation that day, it almost made the beauty cry, and I feel a little apologetic in my heart.As for Xin Wenzhe's leaving now, Lin Zhao was vaguely reluctant.

"En! Thank you very much!" Xin Wenzhe expressed his thanks mechanically.

"There will be a time later!" Lin Zhao looked at Xin Wenzhe's bright phoenix eyes, and there was a trace of anticipation in his heart. He sincerely hoped that when he could meet Xin Wenzhe again.

"There will be a period later!" Xin Wenzhe continued to repeat mechanically, what kind of mood she was in, I'm afraid she couldn't tell clearly.

"I'm leaving!"

"Ok!"

Xin Wenzhe didn't seem to want to leave, and Lin Zhao didn't seem to want to give way, so a scene of silent embarrassment appeared.

"I'm leaving!"

"it is good!"

Xin Wenzhe wanted to avoid going out, and Lin Zhao also wanted to get out of the way and let the beauty leave, so they both moved in the same direction to avoid.Ever since, it was a coincidence that they bumped into each other and had another intimate contact.

Lin Zhao was slightly taller, leaned forward, and kissed Xin Wenzhe's forehead with his lips.The scene was a bit embarrassing, but it also revealed a little bit of charm...

Uh……

"I'm sorry!" Lin Zhao didn't expect such an accident, and he was afraid that people would think he was a pervert again.Just when he wanted to apologize, Xin Wenzhe walked away quickly.

Leaving the camp far away, Xin Wenzhe touched his forehead subconsciously, and there seemed to be a warm lip print here.Although Lin Zhao was a little rude, Xin Wenzhe just couldn't feel angry.And that feeling is very strange, there is an indescribable feeling...

That kiss was like a dragonfly touching water, touching the girl's heart, causing ripples...

The next day, Xin Wenzhe and his party left early. They had already bid farewell, and Lin Zhao didn't show up to see them off. Why bother to be sad about parting...

Xin Wenzhe left, and before leaving, he glanced at the tent where Lin Zhao was staying, as if he was very reluctant.If it wasn't for Achang's repeated urging, he still refused to leave.

Lin Zhao was also a little disappointed, as if he was a little bit reluctant to let go of that pretty girl, and involuntarily recalled the scene of escaping in the woods that day, but unfortunately he didn't even know her name in the end...

Melancholy is only a momentary thing, because Qingtang City is coming soon, shouldering a more important mission, must be sober and calm.

The tall city wall appeared in the field of vision, and the Huangshui River flowed in front of the eyes. Before reaching the gate of the city, the flow of people on the road increased significantly, and there was an endless stream of merchants going east and west. If there was no special status like a mission, It is not easy to move forward quickly...

The bottom of Huangshui Valley, where Qingtang City is located, is the most affluent place on this plateau, with excellent natural conditions.Whether it is nomadic or planting, it is an excellent place.The capital is built here, and the material foundation is absolutely guaranteed, thus ensuring the supply and abundance of Qingtang City.

A large number of businessmen and merchants have made this place a commercial and trade distribution center, and the degree of prosperity is self-evident.More importantly, to the east is the Song Dynasty and Xixia, to the south is the Tubo Plateau, and to the west is the vast area of ​​the Western Regions. As an important town on the Silk Road, various cultures exchange here, and Qingtang City will undoubtedly become an important city in the Northwest. cultural center.

It has to be said that Jiaosi Luo and Dong Zhan's father and son managed Qingtang City very well, which shows the prosperity and strength of Hehuang Tubo.Lin Zhao now understands why the Song Dynasty, Xixia and even the Liao Kingdom paid so much attention to Hehuang Tubo...

"Your country is really prosperous..." Lin Zhao couldn't help admiring.

Qing Yijie Guizhang beside him shook his head and said with a smile: "Envoy Lin praised you absurdly, how can our Tubo compare with the rich Song Dynasty? Qingtang City is not worth mentioning in front of your country Bianjing.

Perhaps Qingtang City can barely be regarded as prosperous, but along the way, envoy Lin must have seen clearly that most places in Tubo are deserted.Most of them are barren hills and lack of nomadic pastoralism, but this one place is barely noticeable..."

Qing Yijie Guizhang told the truth, and also revealed from the side that the life of Tubo people is really difficult due to the restrictions of natural conditions.

"The general is humble, and Hehuang is rich, which is really an eye-opener!" The polite words were still spoken, even though they knew it was against their will.

Qing Yijie Guizhang just smiled lightly, and said: "Envoy Lin, I have already sent someone to report to Zanpu, and someone will come to greet him soon!"

The arrival of the Shangguo delegation to Tubo is definitely a major event, and naturally it must be greeted grandly.

Before reaching the city gate, walking on the road, the mission of the Song Dynasty used all the guards of honor. It was majestic and magnificent, which immediately attracted the attention of passers-by, and even took the initiative to make way for the mission of Shangguo.

Most of the Tubo people have a good impression of the Song Dynasty, so they have a very respectful attitude, greet them with a smile on their faces, and show their "hospitality" tradition to the Song Dynasty people.

As for the merchants from the Western Regions, they rarely had the opportunity to see the style of the Central Plains Dynasty, and they were all amazed.Of course, this is largely due to the reputation and influence of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions...

Of course, there are still many people who seem very reluctant to see such a scene.There were also people who saw the Song Dynasty missions coming, disappeared in a flash, and went to report the news to some people...

Arriving outside the city of Qingtang, a grand welcome guard of honor has been set up at the gate of the city, which is unprecedentedly grand, expressing the welcome of the Hehuang Tubo to the Song Dynasty mission.

In the middle, a young man was riding on horseback, mighty and brave, looking at the Song Dynasty mission with a smile.Judging from the situation at the scene, he should be the core of these Tibetans...

"Aligu, on behalf of Zanpu, came to welcome the Song Dynasty mission into the city!" The young man immediately stepped forward to greet him loudly.

After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, Qing Yijie Guizhang looked surprised for a moment, how could it be him?Turning around, he whispered in Lin Zhao's ear, "Aligu is Zanpu's adopted son!"

adopted son?Lin Zhao twitched his eyebrows, seeing something unusual in Qing Yijie Guizhang's eyes...
