Chapter 690 Shengren Zhang is a good emperor

"Given the sage's grace, Suiye City is really not difficult to defeat, because since the establishment of Suiye Town in the Great Dynasty, it has been abandoned and rebuilt many times.

The reason is that the rise of the Western Turkic Khanate and the Tuqishi Khanate led to the dynasty being unable to fully control this place."

Hearing that Zhang Gao wanted him to be the vanguard of the expedition to the west, Hu Guang was so fast that he received the order in the morning and led 500 cavalry to set off first in the afternoon.

The horses and people kept resting along the way. The distance from Luoyang, the sacred capital, to Chang'an Prefecture in Jingzhao was a full seven hundred miles. Hu Guang completed the entire journey in five days.

He even had the energy to come directly to meet the Holy Spirit without going to the post house to rest.

This really makes Zhang Shengren, whose physical fitness has begun to decline, envious.

Hu Guang has reason to be so excited. Not to mention that warriors like to fight and perform meritorious service the most. Another extremely important reason is that Hu Guang is a native of Anxi!

At that time, the small Dadan tribe where the Hu family was located went to Khotan as Cao Yuanxin's dowry as a Yueqi.

Hu Guang was born in Khotan and grew up in Khotan. He followed Zhang Hao back to Khotan when he was fifteen years old. He also had a group of friends who had grown up together in Khotan.

It can be said that for others, going to the Western Expedition was hard work, but for Hu Guang, it was called returning home in glory.

Zhang Gao stood up and poured a bowl of wine for Hu Guang, and asked Xiao Sage to quickly put the roasted mutton on skewers and serve more than a dozen skewers to Hu Guang.

After Hu Guang finished fifty skewers of mutton, which probably weighed seven or eight kilograms of mutton, and drank one or two kilograms of sweet rice wine, I, Zhang Shengren, who showed off my bravery as a warrior along with his general, had the wine and meat in his throat.

As a result, I, Zhang Shengren, was very unhappy to find that his appearance ranking dropped one place again.

Then Zhang Yan asked: "Meng Zhixiang has dozens of descendants, but a loyal minister like the King of Jin has lost his blood. Are you, Meng Yiye, willing to be named Li, so that the King of Jin can feed on his blood?"

After clarifying the relationship, Zhang Hao's face relaxed, and suddenly he became angry again. He asked the barbarian bear to lift Meng Yiye in front of him, and then shouted angrily.

In the distance, Shaojian Dong looked at Zhang Yan worriedly, fearing that I, Zhang Shengren, would suffer from bad health.

Hu Guang is not shy either. Although Hu Guang now considers himself to be a Han Chinese and a Tanger, in fact his family is from Dadan, and they will later be called Tatars in history.

If this guy is here, Zhang Yan expects Hu Guang to be able to take down Broken Leaf and hold it. If he continues to the west until Zhang Yan has never been to Talas personally, there may still be some problems.

Zhang Hao let out a long sigh and personally helped Princess Fuxing up, "It turns out she is also a loyal minister.

Historically, this guy was the true founding hero of the Kara Khanate. For the Central Plains Dynasty, he was at least a figure like Guangwu of the Han Dynasty and Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Suiye City and He Lie City were not fortified and could not defend themselves against the attack of the army.

But Guo Tiance basically managed not to take any money randomly, and he was a role model for officials at this time.

"Hahahaha!" Although Zhang Gao deliberately kept a straight face, he still laughed out loud in anger.

After thinking about it, Zhang Hao felt that it was not appropriate, so he just gave him 500 guan. Guo Tiance probably wouldn't accept it in terms of face.

Princess Fuxing looked at Zhang Yan with pleading eyes, "Prince Li Jin is Nu's uncle, my father Li Kerang, and Li Cungui, the governor of Daizhou, is his brother."

Meng Yiye was stupidly pinched out of the crowd by Barbarian Bear himself. He was almost paralyzed with fear. The speaker was Princess Fuxing.

The rest of the people who have reached the position of Privy Councilor can earn as much as 8,000 yuan a year from just a little bit, so they are relatively clean.

Even if these two natural dangers are not guarded by soldiers and horses, the supply of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians will be daunting."

Zhang Zhou's salary was actually not low, it was a full 300 guan, which was much higher than the 200 guan and 180 guan in the Later Liang and Later Tang Dynasties.

Li Keyang was imprisoned in the palace for many years in history. Later, he was almost killed by the Tang court because of the rebellion of his father Li Guochang and his brother Li Keyong.

In the past, Li Gong Kerang was driven out by Wang Zhongsu and almost died, but when Huang Chao came to attack, he still defended Tongguan with all his loyalty, which is commendable for his sincerity. Since you are a loyal queen, get up!"

Moreover, he is familiar with Zhang Yan's style, so he will not be entangled in this.

Therefore, if the situation in Broken Leaf is as Hu Guang expected, Zhang Yan believes that his plan to raid Broken Leaf will be a great success.

"Ever since Gao Jie Shuai of the Great Dynasty evacuated the Four Towns of Anxi, or even before the evacuation, Suiye has been in the middle of a battle between Tuqishi and the Turkic tribes. The Suiye City built by the Great Dynasty was already riddled with holes.

.

Princess Fuxing was Li Keyong's niece. She could even ride a horse and dance when she was young. Her hand strength was definitely not small. This pinch was so hard that she immediately pinched Meng Yiye next to her and screamed.

Bai Xiang has such a good face! Zhang Hao suddenly discovered that even though you knew he was an embroidered pillow, you couldn't dislike him at all.

The amount of information was a bit overwhelming, so Zhang Hao thought for a while and realized that the person in front of him should be the son of Meng Zhixiang and Princess Qionghua, the grandson of Jin Wang Li Keyong, and the only living bloodline of Li Keyong.

Meng Yiye was so frightened that he looked at Princess Fuxing in bewilderment, and then at Zhang Gao who showed no emotion or anger, and suddenly his whole body trembled with fear.

But for the Central Plains imperial court, this force was too weak, and even for Li Shengtian, the Great Jin Kingdom, which had not yet completely returned to the imperial court, it was not a threat.

But there was no city, and he didn't have much ambition. Otherwise, as Li Keyong's grandson, his biological mother, Princess Qionghua, was still alive at that time, how could he let his younger brother Meng Chang take the throne.

Zhang Hao laughed, "The frizzy newborn calf finally knew how to read and be polite.

If everything is the same as what I judged before, I am going to let the Khotan soldiers lead the large group behind, and together with Chen Tingxiao, I will personally lead a thousand soldiers to raid Suiye City."

After returning to the court more than a year later, the Tang court asked him to garrison at Tongguan. Then Huang Chao came to attack. Li Kerang lost a fierce battle and ran to Zhongnan Mountain and was killed by a monk. He was considered a loyal minister.

This time, Meng Chang, who had been preparing to show his temperament as a king, was frightened. He looked at his mother Li in despair.

Zhang Yan was under Zhuque's door and summoned the leader of Shu, who was relatively well-known in later generations.

But there is also a variable in it. Who is the person who can bring Guo Guangyi and Li Guoshou together and hide behind this incident?

Zhang Hao closed his eyes and recalled that in history, Saman Persia began to decline sharply at the end of Nasr II. It seemed that there was no possibility of any heroic leader.

That’s why I said that Broken Leaf is not difficult to break. It only requires more than a thousand elite armored soldiers to attack the city. If the Han people in the city are frightened by the sight of it, there may be no need to attack the city."

Then it would be better to just let Hu Guang guard the area around Broken Leaf and confront the Talas forces. By then, it will be clear who is causing trouble behind the scenes.

I think that the reason why the Suiye tribe dared to follow Guo Guangyi and Li Guoshou to cause rebellion was because they felt that Suiye was thousands of miles away from China and the saint would not bother to go on an expedition just for this matter.

....

Zhang Hao nodded. Judging from the situation he received, Hu Guang's judgment was very reasonable.

Among them, there are only 20,000 to 30,000 people who can be considered elites. The number of real armored elites does not exceed 10,000 at most, and there are probably only one or two thousand armored soldiers.

After that, we will train together for two or three months, and then Hu Guang will make another raid over the snowy mountains, at least in July or August next year.

The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds. Everyone looked at Meng Yiye stupidly. Even the bear carrying him was dumbfounded.

On this occasion, with such a scream, it attracted as much attention as it wanted, and it immediately attracted Zhang Hao's attention.

The matter was urgent. Princess Fuxing quickly stepped forward, held down Meng Yiye's head and made him kowtow repeatedly. She also said on Meng Yiye's behalf, "Thank you, saint, for your kindness."

Just now you just talked about the beginning, now let’s talk about it, why is it not difficult to break the broken leaves?”

"Who are you?" Zhang Hao's voice became much softer.

In terms of appearance alone, Meng Chang should be in the same league as Pan Mei, a famous beautiful young man in history, and Murong Nobunaga, a handsome young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes.

"Saint, forgive me. The person who exclaimed was Meng Yiye, the legitimate daughter of Emperor Wu of the later dynasty and the son of Princess Qionghua, sister of Zhuang Miao. I bumped into His Majesty. It's a death penalty! A death penalty!"

However, Zhang Shengren's gaze immediately alerted Meng Chang, Meng Chang's mother Li, and Li Kerang's daughter Princess Fuxing.

Zhang Hao didn't believe them, they were all guys like Guo Guangyi.

Okay, then you go to Suiye. Except for the main criminal Guo Guangyi and his gang members, the rest of the guilty Guo family members will be left to the King of Jin to be judged by Cong Kuan!"

My Lord Meng felt a chill in his buttocks. Doesn’t this saint have any special hobbies?

And even the one hundred and eighty Guan of the Later Tang Dynasty was enough for a family to live a relatively luxurious life.

Later, although the saint appointed the governor of Suiye to pacify his territory, the great virtue Guo Xuanqing did not dare to go against the saint after taking power, so he only built a pass in the old city of Baodajun to the west of Suiye to guard against Li Guoshou of Talos.

After hearing this, Hu Guang immediately sat upright, took out the map he carried with him and said to Zhang Gao.

Fortunately, Hu Guang was indeed full, so he immediately burped and said to Zhang Hao: "I haven't eaten such delicious barbecue for a long time. I ate too much at one time. It was really unethical. I ask the saint to forgive me."

"

Zhang Gao looked at the white-haired old woman in front of him who was trying his best to save the Meng family, and suddenly remembered that the Jinshan Kingdom of Zhang Chengfeng was overthrown in the past, and his aunt, the Empress Dowager Ciyou, must have been like this, and she had just saved him.

....

If this effect was surprising, I, Zhang Shengren, laughed so hard that I was out of breath. Then I quickly asked someone to help Meng Yiye up, "Get up, don't embarrass the King of Jin."

After everything became clear, Bai Congxin's surprise army simply followed the example of the Mongols and walked directly through Jinshan (Altai Mountain) to the Land of Seven Rivers (Ili Valley), passing through the Yibo Sea (Lake Balkhash) and going around to the back of Talas.

Let's attack from the front and back to completely kill Saktu, this annoying rat.

Of course, this is just a similarity in historical status. Saktu's personal ability is still far from the two big guys.

It’s easy to forgive. In the past, in Anxi and Hezhong, you and I, our monarchs and ministers, didn’t often eat meat and drink like this.”

When you go here, the most important thing is to recover Suiye and Talas. Li Guoshou's life and death is secondary.

The entire Suiye Guo family and the Talos Li family, plus Suiye's various tribes following them, total about 400,000 people, and if the whole people are armed, they can pull out more than 100,000 people.

The people around him all laughed when they saw the emperor, and everyone burst into laughter. The bear threw Meng Yiye to the ground in disgust.

Although he experienced the pain of subjugation and the bumpy road, Meng Chang, who was a little chubby, lost weight.

Meng Yiye, well... this is also a ‘Master!’ He was famous in Shu for his fondness for Huafu delicacies, singers and dancers, and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Originally, Meng Chang's appearance and temperament were more similar to Jia Baoyu's, quite mellow, but after going through some ups and downs, he actually gained a bit of charming vicissitudes.

There is a reason why she dared to pinch Meng Yiye and come out to announce her family status like this.

Alas, there are not many emperors in history who are so careful! Zhang Shengren was a little arrogant.

A bit like Leslie Cheung whose childishness has faded.
