In the Khotan Palace, on the Five Phoenix Tower, there is a man wearing a black imperial robe and a gold crown, inlaid with various colored gemstones and Hetian jade. He has a fair complexion, slender red phoenix eyes, two mustaches on his upper lip, and a loose goatee on his chin. Hu's fatter than the Khotanese, he was very happy.
"Hahaha! My nephew is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. No wonder Master Taishan would rather send him away than give him twenty soldiers in battle. He can't kill him, and he can't keep him. It's better to send him away!"
"Your Majesty!" Next to the white fat man, a woman in royal attire with a golden forehead, wine-smeared make-up, and a gold and jeweled hairpin gave him a dumbfounded look.
"How can a son-in-law make fun of his father-in-law? My eldest brother sent someone to tell me that my cousin is as cunning as a fox and as brave as a tiger. He has the legacy of a Taibao Gong.
This is not a young man who lives in a house like your brother-in-law, the Emperor in White. Even King Liang Gong can’t do anything to him. Now he just killed King Zhongyun Sanpoba with a hundred people. You have to know how to deal with it. ! "
The person who was laughing so happily was none other than Li Shengtian, the great sage and emperor of Dabao Jin Kingdom.
On the other side, the person who was scolding and with a worried look on her face was Li Shengtian's Queen of Khotan, Cao Yuanxin, the sixth daughter of Cao Yijin.
Looking at the ethical relationship of this family, Zhang Zhao is nominally the son of Princess Fengtian, Li Shengtian’s sister, so he should be called Uncle Li Shengtian.
But Zhang Zhaogang once again became a romantic couple with Li Ruoliu, Li Shengtian's cousin, in Wunicheng. They were also his father-in-law's wife and nephew, so they should be equals.
Cao Yuanxin was the daughter of Cao Yijin's wife, Suo, and was a cousin related by blood to Zhang Zhao. But according to the rules, she was Li Shengtian's queen, and Zhang Zhao had to call her aunt.
And if he could go back, Zhang Zhao would have to marry Cao Yuanxin's niece, Cao Jiuniang Yanxi, so he would be Cao Yuanxin's niece-in-law.
"Haha! Don't worry, Liu Niang! My father-in-law doesn't dare to use Zhang Erlang. That's because the foundation of your Cao family belongs to his Zhang family.
But I no longer have such worries. It happened that the Karakhanites were persecuting our Buddhist followers. Zhang Erlang was so brave that one of his soldiers was worth a hundred. I know he was not as powerful as Xue Youzhou (Xue Rengui) or Xing Guozhuang Gong (Su Dingfang) in the Western Regions. Where is the divine general! I should use it! "
Cao Liuniang sighed in her heart. She knew that her husband had always been very dissatisfied with the Cao family's replacement of Zhang, especially the death of his nephew Zhang Xuan.
Her father, Cao Yijin, married her to Khotan to make up for this gap. Although Li Shengtian never mentioned Cao's Dai Zhang again in these years, he didn't expect that even though he didn't say it, he still remembered it in his heart.
well! The Great Sage and Emperor's mother died young, and he was almost single-handedly raised by his eldest sister, Princess Fengtian!
. . . .
Three hundred steps outside Wufeng Tower, there were at least two to three hundred people from Tang Min and Hu'er who had followed Zhang Zhao all the way, maybe more, and there were densely packed people coming from behind.
No wonder they were so excited when they saw Zhang Zhao, because the biggest reliance they relied on for Tang'er, who had fallen in Khotan, to recover the country together with the Khotan people was Zhang Yichao, who had already recovered Guasha.
When Zhang Yichao was powerful in Hexi, the Tibetan people in Khotan were devastated, and this gave them a chance.
Although Zhang Yichao did not send any troops to Khotan, everyone knew that they had someone to rely on.
"Erlang Jun! Ever since the Wuchen year (908), when someone saw the emperor in white sending armored cavalry to marry Princess Fengtian, in the past twenty-three years, we have not seen any Han soldiers, nor the majesty of Han officials!"
After the team stopped, the old man in black, who fell to the ground crying and shouted whether the Emperor of Chang'an knew anything, rushed to Zhang Zhaoma.
Zhang Zhao quickly got off his horse and helped the old man up, "May I ask what your last name is?"
The old man sobbed twice, "The old man's surname is Zhu. In the past, he was a descendant of Zhu Gong, the commander of Guoyi, the sixth regiment of Yanqi Governor's Flying Cavalry. In the fifteenth year of Tianbao, our ancestors followed Anxi to camp in the east and returned to quell the chaos. He has not returned yet. Now he only knows The last name is unknown!”
The atmosphere was depressing and sad. You can imagine how the officers and soldiers of the four Anxi towns felt when they heard that there was a rebellion in the mainland. They organized the Anxi camp to return home to put down the rebellion.
They stayed in Anxi for so many years, garrisoning in the fields, and had already set up foothold there. They went eastward day and night and never came back. I don’t know how many of them never got to see their wives and children who stayed in Anxi again.
"Erlangjun, I heard that the Tang Dynasty has been restored in the Central Plains. How can it be like the story of the Han Dynasty? When will the soldiers come? When will Ban Dingyuan come? We are eager to see through it!"
A man with a horizontal sword hanging on his waist, the scabbard of which was already broken, looked at Zhang Zhao eagerly.
Datang! Zhang Zhao smiled bitterly in his heart, what should I say about this Tang Dynasty?
Not to mention the Western Regions thousands of miles away, it was in Hexi and the Central Plains. When Li Cunxu conquered Luoyang with the power of Jin Wang Sanya, everyone thought that the Tang Dynasty had returned.
Not only because Li Cunxu already had three of the four major kingdoms in the world at that time: Liang, Jin, Wu, and Shu. The territory of the Later Tang Dynasty was so large that it was the only one in the Five Dynasties, and he could unify the world in a blink of an eye.
What's more, because his father Li Keyong was not only given the surname Li, he was also included in the genealogy of the Li Tang royal family. He belonged to the Zheng royal family and belonged to the recognized Li Tang royal family.
But who knows, when everyone thought Li Cunxu was Emperor Taizongwen, this guy turned around and told everyone, you are overthinking, he is not a low-profile version of Emperor Taizongwen, but a beggar's version of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty!
Good guy, before entering Luoyang, he was a model for the second generation of emperors in the world. His fame was only after having children, like Sun Zhongmou.
With a throne under his butt, he immediately showed off all kinds of tricks like giving away one hundred thousand people in Hefei.
Who are these people!
At this time, the spread of information was slow. Zhang Zhao guessed that even Li Shengtian still thought that the Later Tang Dynasty was still at its peak.
well! Like the story of Han Dynasty, haha!
Zhang Zhao also knew what this meant. After Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the Western Region was lost. The Western Han Dynasty chariot divisions, field soldiers and descendants were also waiting hard like the descendants of Tang'er in Anxi today.
However, they were relatively lucky. In the fifteenth year of Yongping, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty sent Dou Gu, the captain of Fengcha, to defeat the Northern Huns and recover Yiwu. Dou Gu immediately sent fake Sima Banchao to the Western Regions.
At that time, Ban Chao led thirty-six people across the Western Regions to seize their kings. He would kill them if they wanted to kill them, and make birds if they wanted to.
These people really thought that the Tang Dynasty was revived in the Central Plains! They are still waiting for Ban Dingyuan, who belongs to Datang, to appear!
At this moment, Zhang Zhao even considered pretending to be an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, just like the protagonist he had seen in Tang Qi Zhong.
It's a pity that he can't and can't bear it. Faced with people who have been looking forward to the motherland for generations, how can he deceive them if they are not in a desperate situation and have no choice? He has other options!
"Yes! I also heard that the Tang Dynasty was revived! But Shazhou is also isolated in the northwest, and Ganzhou is still blocking our access, so no angel has arrived yet.
But I believe that as long as the Tang Dynasty is revived, it is useless to have a mere Ganzhou city! One day Wang Shidong will come.
But before that, even though I only have a hundred soldiers, I am still willing to do something. By the time King Master comes, we have already returned to Qiuci, wouldn't it be great! "
