"Mr. Erlang, Wu Dal'er is fortunate to have fulfilled his duty. The Gaochang white cotton cloth, fine silk, refined iron, sulfur and dried beef and mutton worth 1,580 guan have all been shipped." As soon as Wu Dal'er saw Zhang Zhao entering the door, he said I quickly came over to pay my respects.
"Haha! Good luck!" Zhang Zhao smiled and supported Wu Dal'er who wanted to bow down.
He was currently short of cloth and iron, and the dried beef and mutton were also used as military supplies, not to mention sulfur. However, Zhang Zhao frowned in surprise.
"It seems that Tiloda is not a man who promises a large sum of money, but he is really willing to pay so much money as promised!"
A sinister smile appeared on Wu Dal'er's face, and he cupped his hands towards Zhang Zhao.
"After getting advice from Mr. Erlang, a certain person deliberately did not urge Diluo Dagan to pay the ransom when he arrived in Yizhou. Instead, he went to Gaochang to meet with the Khan of Wumu Lord according to the rules, and mentioned King Tosi's explanation and greetings, and then went around again. I will not go looking for Dirodagan until fifteen days later!"
As he said that, the smile on Wu Dal'er's face became brighter and brighter.
"Sure enough, at first, Dirodagan felt that fifteen or six hundred dollars was worth it to get out of trouble, but as time went on, he felt more and more distressed about the money.
In the end, even if someone threatens to go to Wu Mother Lord Khan, Diluo Dagan is only prepared to pay a thousand strings! "
"Hmph! Interesting!" Zhang Zhao snorted disdainfully.
"Pu Gucheng's interception of us in Puchanghai must have been ordered by Wumu Lord Khan. He has done things so badly now that he even dared to bet that you would not cause trouble to Wumu Lord in order to save 580 coins. Go there, you really want money rather than your life!"
"Erlangjun expected it to be true. No matter how threatened I was, Diluo Dagan just refused to pay an extra penny.
So a certain person happened to go find the Chen family, and the Chen family was forced to lose their face, so they went to Diluo Dagan's house to make trouble every day. Later, Diluo Dagan even blocked the door whenever he saw someone from the Chen family! "
After saying that, Wu Daler laughed loudly, "In the end, Chen Huiyao was forced to sell his ancestral shop on the most prosperous street in Illinois to make up for the 580 pieces.
When I was pulling this cart of property out of Yizhou, the young men of the Chen family had already provoked several fights with Diluo Daqian's relatives, and even used knives. "
"Well done! Wu Dutou is really a great talent. He adapts to circumstances and made the Chen family resentful of Diluo Daqian in a few simple steps. I wonder what the status of the Chen family is in Gaochang? How many people are there in the clan?"
Wu Dal'er has the false title of Guiyijundutou, so he can be called Wudutou.
Zhang Zhao didn't care about the hundreds of dollars of wealth he got from the Chen family. The Chen family's soldiers and the Chen family's Haner Dingkou were what he coveted the most.
"There are a lot of people!" Wu Dal'er stretched out three fingers.
“There are at least three thousand members in the tribe, but not all of them are surnamed Chen, but are formed by the marriage of the three surnames Chen, Li, and Wang.
These three surnames have been generals in Yizhou for generations. There are hundreds of soldiers of these three surnames alone. They command thousands of soldiers and horses in Yizhou, and their status is not low.
However, Chen Huiyao is not the one who can call the shots. The head of the Chen family is Chen Huiyao's elder brother, Sima of Gaochang Uighur Yizhou, and Chen Huiting, the lieutenant general! "
"Then I'll ask Wu Dutou to write down the important people of the Chen family in Yizhou on paper, and Dutou will escort them all the way. It's really hard to get from Yizhou to this point. Please take fifty guans as a token of my gratitude!"
"Thank you Erlangjun for the reward!" Wu Dal'er didn't refuse. He deserved the fifty strings.
"I will be returning to Dunhuang in the near future. Is there any letter from Erlang Bureau that I want to bring back? And since I have returned to Dunhuang, I will at least have to say a few bad words about Mr. Erlang. Please forgive Mr. Erlang!"
Zhang Zhao knew why he said that. His younger brother Wu Yuan'er was originally an envoy of the Guiyi Army, but now he came directly to Zhang Zhao. If he didn't express his attitude when he returned, not only would the Cao family not use him again, but he would also in trouble.
"I understand, please take care of yourself!" Zhang Zhao bowed his hand.
"By the way! Mr. Erlang asked Adi to look up the Sangha Bodhidharma master, and I have some impressions. It is said that this person is from the royal family of Khotan and has profound Buddhist teachings.
Not only was he a famous eminent monk in Khotan, he was also quite famous in Guasha, Gansu, and even among the people of Liangzhou and Fumo. The host of Dayun Temple in Liangzhou was said to be his disciple. "
In Liangzhou, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but shrink his pupils. This is a city that has carried the blood and tears of the Guiyi Army many times!
The two times when the Guiyi Army was powerful, they both occupied Liangzhou City. Every decline of the Guiyi Army started with the loss of Liangzhou.
There are also the Limo Tribes of Liangzhou, these tribes are composed of descendants of the Longyou soldiers and civilians who fell in the Tang Dynasty mixed with other ethnic minorities, and have strong Tubo imprints.
They are the protagonists in the poem "The Han people speak nonsense but curse the Han people at the top of the city", and they are also the fierce men who deceived Li Jiqian, the god of war in Dijinze.
These powerful tribes that had been entrenched in Liangzhou for hundreds of years were still able to compete with Xixia in the Jisiluo era. This was what Zhang Zhao wanted to conquer and recruit the most.
It is said that a poor monk can summon a group of eminent monks who have attained enlightenment. Master Shimen recognizes Erlangjun as the Buddhist protector Jialan.
The poor monk is willing to help more than a hundred monks and soldiers.
Zhang Zhao now understands the power of these two sentences! For him, the support is no less than that of Li Shengtian.
. . . . .
Wu Yuan'er sent Wu Da'er away, while Zhang Zhao was waiting for the arrival of another person in the inner room. Soon, Tingting and all the Khotan palace ladies came to the house in full dress.
They gathered around a noble lady with a complex pattern of flower patterns on her forehead, blue bird dimples shaped like flying cranes on her cheeks, wearing a vermilion robe, and a head full of gold jewels and hairpins, and walked away with various gestures. Come in.
"Is there something urgent that my cousin came to see my brother for at night? It's so late, can my uncle feel free to let you out of the palace?"
The woman who came was really Li Shengtian's queen, Cao Yijin's sixth daughter, Zhang Yichao's great-granddaughter, and Zhang Zhao's blood cousin, Cao Yuanxin.
Cao Yuanxin sat down on the main seat unceremoniously and looked at Zhang Zhao with a faint smile.
"You are sometimes your cousin, and sometimes your uncle, so am I your cousin? Or my aunt? Or will I be your sixth aunt in the future? And..."
Cao Yuanxin raised his head and glanced at the sun that was still reluctant to set and spread a red glow on the horizon.
"So I'm going to look for you at night? Zhang Erlang, it seems like you're afraid of me?"
Zhang Zhao smiled awkwardly. He was really a little afraid that this woman would be chosen by Cao Yijin to marry into Khotan. She would be saddled with the arduous task of bridging the rift between the Cao family and the Li family, and would squeeze out the original Queen of Khotan. Can the nun at Moruo Temple be a fuel-efficient lamp?
This is a master of palace fighting!
Before Zhang Zhao could answer, Cao Yuanxin pointed at Zhang Zhao with a white finger.
"Having a blood relative like you, I, Cao Liu Niang, am so blessed! In just a few days, you have donated two Sanpoba daughters to the emperor, and you have also provided methods of upbringing!
Zhang Erlang, is it so difficult for you to throw a few of Sanpoba's evil bastards into the thousands of miles of yellow sand? If you insist on bringing me to Khotan, you are here to cause trouble, right? "
"My cousin is serious. I am the emperor's nephew. How dare I not dedicate it to my uncle when I get Princess Sanpoba?"
Zhang Zhao decided to ignore Cao Yuanxin. Li Shengtian would be inseparable from him soon anyway. Cao Yuanxin should just hide away before he could conquer such a huge benefit in Shule.
"Hehehehe!" Cao Yuanxin laughed a few times and suddenly stared.
"You still call me cousin, right! I think you won't shed tears even if you don't see the coffin!" As she said this, the woman took off a gold and jeweled hairpin from her hair, and then stared at Zhang Zhao jokingly.
"Zhang Erlang, guess if I go out in a panic with my hair disheveled, what will everyone in Khotan say when they see it? What will the emperor think when he hears it?"
