Chapter VIII Father and Son Fight
After receiving the news from Sun Xiurong, Nie Xu Danxi was overjoyed.
However, it was not easy for him to move from Xizhu City (Namangan) to Sesai City (Kasaisan). After the Pakhan country unified the Pakhan Basin again, although the sixty cities in the pre-Han era are no longer as prosperous as the pre-Han period, there are still thirty large castles.
The road at this time was the post road between castles. When crossing the rivers, there was a special ferry crossing. As a foreigner, although he had the edict of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the country of Bakhan was not very useful at this time. In addition to the king of Weilong, there were also the former Tochar states, Zhaowu states, who knew and hid the states, protected the countries (the countries centered on Kabul). He had all the edicts issued by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in his hand.
What's more, the situation of him, the king of Weilong Kingdom, is very suspicious?
"Follow Xiao Dou"
There is a sentence in Sun Xiurong’s letter to Nie Xu Danxi.
Xiao Dou is actually a native of Bahanna. Because the royal family of Bahanna was given the surname Dou by the Tang Dynasty, many people (of course, aristocrats) also changed their surname to Dou.
However, Xiao Dou was one of the few people who believed in the Zoroas in Bakhana. He moved his family to Talas early in the morning and finally became a member of the Thunder Ye Army. Now he is naturally the "buddy" of a large-scale business in Talas in Bakhana.
In fact, Xiao Dou is nearly thirty years old and is no longer young.
As mentioned earlier, the Bahanna Basin is one of the best places in the Hezhong area. That is because although the basin is still dry and rainy, because it is surrounded by mountains, there is still a lot of snow water flowing down from the mountains to irrigate in spring and summer.
There are mountains all around, and only the valleys that the river passes through can be accessed. Therefore, only by blocking the entrance of the valley will be fine. Of course, it is also due to the fact that the enemy is equal to our strength. If the enemy is too strong, such as the Tang Dynasty and the Dashi, it will naturally be difficult to use.
Later generations were the largest grape and cotton production in Central Asia. At this time, the grape and cotton production here were still the largest, but the wheat yield was also good, no less than that of Shiguo.
For Saiyejun, wine and cotton are what they urgently need, and it is also appropriate to set up a business here.
At this time, with two forces that use Chinese as the common language, Turkic language is gradually replaced by Chinese, and Chinese has become the second generation language except Sogdian.
In addition, the relationship between Bakhanna and the Tang Dynasty was particularly important, and Chinese was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
In addition, this place was originally a popular place for all religions, but like Guli Peiluo, in order to unify people's hearts and maintain the rule of the Dou royal family, the king finally chose Buddhism and excluded other religions. Of course, foreigners coming from all over the place were naturally not listed here.
Xiao Dou was also very nervous after receiving Sun Xiurong's letter.
If no other forces intervene, not to mention the more than 100 people of Nie Xu Danxi's family, he could handle it even twice as many people, but the current situation is obviously different.
Somehow, Gao Xianzhi actually got the news that Nie Xu Danxi and his family were moving to Seise City!
Although it is still in the territory of Bahanna, this is very different from the promise made by Nie Xudanxi to Guo Yao that "at the latest three months, and at the earliest one month", because if you want to send people to Tang territory and it is more convenient, you can move to Jalalabad City, which is exiting the south of the Naren Valley in the north, and go north to the Naren Basin first, and then cross the Tianshan Mountains to reach Shule Town.
Or it is feasible to move to Osh City in the east and cross the Alay Mountains and arrive from the southwest of Shule Town. At this time, there are post roads connected.
But what does it mean to move to the city of Thundersay near the northwest of Mount Catekar?
Isn’t it even further away from Tang Realm?
Of course, Nie Xu Danxi is not completely unreasonable.
"There is the only Bon temple in Bahanna country in the city of Thundersai"
Indeed, before unifying the Bahanna Basin, in order to attract more people, King Dou Zhongjie began to secretly absorb the population of dissatisfied with the great food religion in the city of Thundersay, and naturally there were also people who believed in Bon. In order to attract more people, Dou Zhongjie simply built one Zoroastrian, Manichaeism, Nestorian and Bon temples near Thundersay City. The Bon temple here is also the only Bon temple in the Bahanna country!
As mentioned earlier, since the recapture of the five countries of Zhiniu, Gao Xianzhi set up a guardian in Saijiashen City and obtained permission from the court. Since the Pakhanna country produces a lot of Dayuan horses, Gao Xianzhi was preparing to equip a thousand cavalry in Saijiashen City, and the largest horse farm in Pakhanna country was the Thunder City!
As the former capital, Ai Sai City was naturally governed by people trusted by Dou Zhongjie.
Unlike the countries in Hezhong, Dou Zhongjie's Bakhana country was quite similar to the Uighur Khanate. In addition to kings, ministers, etc., he also set up chief and deputy khan in the country according to the practices of some Turkic tribes. The king naturally served as the great khan, and the deputy khan was the crown prince.
The city lord of the city who is thirsty at the moment is his eldest son, deputy khan Dou Xueyu. Dou Xueyu not only once served as a tyrant in Chang'an, but also entered the thunder camp. He was loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Sun Xiurong, who was nominally a vain, was a vain guardian of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, he was a "rebellious minister" and definitely looked down on Sun Xiurong.
But for this alone, he would not offend the Thunder Ye Army, because he knew that the Thunder Ye Army was also an invincible force in the Khan country, not to mention that he was still wearing a sheep's head.
But the prince Bakhan, who was the same year as Sun Xiurong, actually fell in love with Princess Nie Xudanxi, like Gao Xianzhi!
So, when he learned that Nie Xu Danxi was preparing to move from Xizhu City to Sesai City to avoid Gao Xianzhi's harassment, Dou Xueyu's mood became extremely complicated.
In theory, as a loyal ally of the Tang Dynasty, he was a deputy khan, and the future king of the Bakhan Kingdom could not offend the governor of the Tang Dynasty. He understood that the governor of the Tang Dynasty was like the governor of the Great Food, and he could seize power by killing and killing. Not to mention the country of Bakhan Kingdom, even if all the countries in the river combined, they would not dare to provoke him.
But then again, if Nie Xu Danxi was willing to give up the woman to herself, then Gao Xianzhi should have nothing to say - it was not that I took the robbery, but that someone took the initiative to give it up.
On the banks of the Sir River, Xiao Dou and Nie Xudanxi and his family were waiting for the boat at the ferry, and a team of people came from the front and back.
The people behind were naturally King Dou Zhongjie. Nie Xu Danxi and his family did not show off when they left the city, but hid in a caravan with only a hundred people, hidden in a large caravan in Xizhu City where merchants gathered. Who can tell if they are not careful?
What's more, Nie Xu Danxi donated a large amount of money to the temple, so he opened a small door on his side to facilitate entry and exit without having to enter and exit through the main entrance of the temple.
But in the end, it was in a courtyard, and the people in the temple soon discovered the clues, so they quickly reported to the king.
As Gao Xianzhi, who was preparing to force others to seize other women, naturally would not tell Dou Zhongjie the true intention, but would also send someone to hint from the side. Dou Zhongjie naturally knew about this section. When he learned that Nie Xu Danxi had actually run away, he couldn't help but shivered when he thought of Gao Xianzhi's gloomy and handsome face, and quickly chased after him with the three hundred cavalry.
Whether in the former Han Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, countless people destroyed the country and destroyed the family because of a trivial matter. Historical books can be seen. Although the country Bahan had a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, Dou Zhongjie did not want to take this risk.
As for the Wei Long Kingdom, Dou Zhongjie naturally didn't take it seriously.
The postmen at the ferry entrance obviously received the orders of their king. Although Xiao Dou gave them a lot of bribes, this time he would not let him go no matter what he said.
Just as Xiao Dou was discussing with the postman, Dou Xueyu, who learned the news, also sent cavalrymen to take Nie Xudanxi and her party over.
When the deputy khan was seen and the prince arrived, the postman naturally had no reason not to let go, but Dou Zhongjie also arrived!
The father and son met on such occasions.
"Father"
"snort!"
Dou Zhongjie also heard about his son's covetment of Princess Ni Pola. Now he suddenly came from Thundersai City with his cavalry. He knew the reason without asking about it.
However, Nie Xu Danxi is there, and there is an open caravan, but in fact it is the troops of the Shattered Ye Jun (the caravan is from Talas, no matter how stupid Dou Zhongjie is, he knows that he has nothing to do with Shattered Ye Jun). Dou Zhongjie pulled his son aside and whispered.
"Danger, hurry back. If Censor Gao knows, I will be finished in the country of Khan!"
The censor, who is the governor of the border town, is mostly given the title of the censor, so he has this title.
At this time, Dou Xueyu did not want to marry Princess Ni Pola, but did want to move Nie Xu Danxi and his party to Chengsai City, because there were the most Bons wherever Nie Xu Danxi was, and at this time the Xiangxiong people were very fierce and were an excellent candidate for the army (mainly because they were not afraid of death, similar to the holy warriors of the Great Food and Practice), especially the best candidate for infantry.
Although Dou Xueyu has been recognized by the Tang Dynasty, he is not Dou Zhongjie's only son. Dou Zhongjie has many adult sons. The other three legitimate sons are stationed in Jalalabad in the north, Osh in the east, and Kohan in the south. Before they are finally established, the three of them are also qualified to succeed the king.
So, who has the greatest power has the most hope.
"Father King", thinking of this, Dou Xueyu said: "Now there is a road in the northwest of our country that is connected to the Talas River Valley. The Shattered Ye Army is an subordinate of the Tang Dynasty on the surface, but it has defeated the Tang army in several battles. It is easier for them to defeat the Tang army and defeat our country."
"Along the Hei Sai River, it is mostly mountainous, and it is inconvenient to ride horses, and Dayuan horses are not easy to use. It is just that the infantry army is good. If Nie Xudanxi and his party move to Hei Sai City, they can attract most of the Bon monks there. Therefore, our country has an infantry army that is good at fighting in the mountains. I dare not say anything else, it is still possible to block the Suoye Army from the south. You see..."
As soon as these words came out, Dou Zhongjie was moved, but who was he? How could he be deceived by his son in a few words, and shouted sternly: "Is this really what you mean? Isn't it for that woman?"
Dou Xueyu's face turned red, but it soon disappeared. "Part sar, it was like this at the beginning. It is said that the woman had a strange fragrance on her body. All those who had this condition were people of heaven..."
"A man who is blessed by God? Can Nie Xu Danxi be so destitute?"
“…”
"I'm not hiding it, I know a little about the origin of this woman. Is her mother from Tocharia a Persian or a rare Buddhist in Persia? Her father is the King of Nibura. In the Nibura Kingdom, the first-class people are naturally Tubo people, and the second-class people are Nibura people. As for the Tocharia people, it is impossible to get on the table, so she married a king of a small country."
"Who is Gao Xianzhi? Don't you know? This man is very good at strategy and has strong soldiers and horses. In the past, he could not move the troops on the western front of Tubo with a mere town of Yutian Town. You must know that the Tubo people also had tens of thousands of military forces on the western front, and the town of Yutian Town had a maximum of five thousand horses and infantry!"
"He is now the commander of the 30,000 elite Tang army and is deeply believed by the Holy Emperor. If his country is charged with a crime of "unofficial", the country of Bahan will be destroyed in a short time.
Dou Xueyu said stubbornly: "Mr. Khan, my former husband Meng Lingcha and Cheng Qianli were there. Although they had to come here every year to blackmail them, they had a certain degree after all, but Gao Xianzhi regarded his country as his subordinate. He came and went as he wanted, never informed him in advance, and he had long been stationed in his country."
"My Chrysaicheng Horse Farm raised a total of 3,000 horses that I finally selected. He took away two thousand at once! Only one thousand left for me!"
"That's not all. Since he came to power, he has asked me to offer him many beauties, stones, cotton, and horses every year. Even if our country has a great family and a great business, it will not be disturbed if it lasts forever!"
"Silent!"
Dou Zhongjie quickly interrupted him, "Don't you want to live anymore? After Gao Xianzhi destroyed the big and small Bolu, he established a new king. Although he tried his best to flatter him, at the end of last year, King Xiao Bolu was replaced because of his "unofficial"!"
