Huang Yang'er did not hide his inner jealousy. He looked at Bai Congxin, who was already the governor of Taozhou and the commander of the Hanhai Zhenma Army of the Guiyi Army, Yuhou Qiongre Duojin, the capital of the Hanshan Du Ma Army, and the Hanshan Du Infantry Army. Du Yuhou Dunzhu only wished he could slap himself in the mouth.

In the past, under the command of Ge Duo, the bald-haired tiger, Bai Congxin and Huang Yang'er were his left and right arms, Qiongre Duojin was his personal guard, and Dunzhu was his horse slave.

After Zhang Zhao captured Gedu Mountain Stronghold, Bai Congxin, Qiongre Duojin, and Dunzhu all followed Zhang Zhao. Only Huang Yanger chose to lead his tribe to Ganzhou.

That's not what hit him the most. What hit him the most was Ma Shacai.

Because Ma Shacai was Huang Yang'er's subordinate back then, he left with Zhang Zhao because he didn't want to go to Ganzhou.

But now, Ma Sha is the commander of the Hanhai town camp of the Guiyi army. He is the governor of Huizhou and the defense envoy of Huizhou regiment. He is in charge of a state with thousands of soldiers and horses and tens of thousands of people. Every year, he receives hundreds of dollars in salary and rewards. .

He also followed Zhang Zhao to the Western Regions, where he had a taste of what it was like to be a princess of a country as big as Persia.

And he, Huangyang'er, is still a small-headed man hiding in the poor mountains in the southwest of Ganzhou. He doesn't dare to put too much cumin in the mutton when he eats it.

Seeing Zhang Zhao appear, Huang Yang'er asked the knight behind him to dismount. He rode a black horse with a bag in his hand and galloped forward. He was still more than ten steps away from Zhang Zhao before he turned over. Get off your horse and kneel on the ground.

"Huang Yang'er has met the king. I wonder if it's too late to vote now?"

"Get up! It's not too late, it's your own people who are here!"

Zhang Zhao jumped off his horse with a smile and pulled Huang Yang'er up. Bai Congxin also walked over.

"Dog slave! I tried to persuade you so hard back then, but you refused to listen. How come you regret it now?"

"Regret! I regret that I just wanted to kill myself with one knife!" Huang Yang'er looked regretful, and then handed the leather bag in his hand to Zhang Zhao.

"This is what the king said was excavated from the Mirror Iron Mountain. Please check it."

Zhang Zhao took the bag and opened it. It was full of iron ore of different shapes. The dark surface was very smooth, and there was even an occasional flash of metallic light. At first glance, it was mirror iron ore of extremely high quality.

Cao Yanming also took out a piece and observed it carefully. Since the last blast furnace steelmaking fiasco, Cao Yanming was not discouraged.

Instead, he followed Zhang Zhao's suggestion to unravel each step of blast furnace steelmaking, and then break through them one by one, cultivating talents from scratch one by one, and brainstorming.

"Erlangjun, how do you know there is such good ore in Ganzhou? It is deep in the mountains, and you must have never been there. Is there really anyone who knows it in life?"

Cao Yanming looked at Zhang Zhao in horror. Others didn't know it, but he knew it. Not only was the ore in his hand of extremely high quality, but the location of the iron ore was also extremely difficult to see through.

Zhang Zhao just clicked on the map, and then said there was a mine here, and then sent people to look for it, and it turned out that there was a mine.

"Haha! A certain person is Chakravartin, how can you, an ordinary person like you, be able to figure it out!"

Zhang Zhao meant to joke with Cao Yanming and patted him on the shoulder.

But Cao Yanming was completely wrong. Looking at Zhang Zhao who was laughing, he once again thought that there really are gods in this world.

It seems that the chemistry Erlangjun mentioned must be a ladder to the nine heavens, and it must be an immortal method. Whoever understands it will definitely become an immortal on the ground.

Cao Da's 'scientist' thought so.

Yan Jin, who was beside Zhang Zhao, did not expect to go to Cao Yanming's side. He just knew that the Ganzhou Uighur was doomed.

Who told them not only to have a holy land for raising horses like Xiedan, but also to have the iron mines in Jingtieshan Mountain?

Bidige

Zhang Zhao thinks so too. It goes without saying how important the Xiedan Army Racecourse is to Zhang Zhao. The Liangzhou Iron Cavalry has been the signature since ancient times, and the Jingtieshan Iron Mine is equally important.

In later generations, the Jingtieshan iron ore was the most mechanized mining area in the Republic, which meant that its mining must not be difficult. At the same time, the iron ore in Jingtieshan also had the advantages of high quality and large reserves.

There are horses and mines, and it's absolutely dead.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao stopped going around in circles with Huang Yang'er and spoke to him directly.

"Kill Yao Geluo Tongli and bring your clan members down. I will find you a good place in Lanzhou with lush water and grass. You can choose an official position below the fourth rank for you!"

Yaogeluo Tongli originally led people to rescue Ganzhou Renyu Khan during the Battle of Suzhou.

But he had some evil thoughts that he shouldn't have and wanted to replace Renyu Khan. However, Zhang Zhao seized the opportunity and blew up the camp with a wave of surprise attacks.

Later, I didn't dare to go back to Ganzhou, so I had to take my personal followers and hide in the Qilian Mountains, which was later known as Gannan Yugu Autonomous County. Huang Yang'er and others were all working under Yaogeluo Tongli. Food to eat.

Huang Yang'er had a troubled look on his face. He considered his words before speaking.

"Replying to your Majesty, it's not difficult to do the rituals for Yao Geluo. The difficulty lies in how to arrange the arrangements for the other people in the Qilian Mountains? They won't listen to me without any benefit."

"How dare you, a thief slave, to push back and forth in front of the king? You only have a few clansmen, and Hexi Longyou is so big, but you can't arrange for your number of people?"

Bai Congxin was angry and cursed loudly at Huang Yang'er, but in fact he was reminding Huang Yang'er that Zhang Zhao was no longer the former Zhang Erlang who only had a few hundred people. Now he was going to control Hexi Long. The king of Wuwei in the eighteen states on the right cannot speak so casually.

Of course Huang Yang'er knew that Bai Congxin was doing it for his own good, so he was not angry at the moment, but instead became more cautious.

"What my brother taught me is that the tribesmen who are no match for the servants are not only my own tribe, but also the tens of thousands of herdsmen in the Qilian Mountains.

Nowadays, the weather is getting colder and colder, and there will be snow in the Qilian Mountains in June, making life extremely difficult.

These people were blinded and did not know that the king was going to unify Longyou in Hexi Province, and they were attracted by Yao Geluo and Tongli who sent him to Ganzhou to live a good life.

If we don't give them a good place to go, it will be very difficult to kill Yao Geluo. "

Zhang Zhao suddenly realized who these herdsmen on the Qilian Mountains were. They were the Kucha Uighurs who had been moved away from Kucha and other places by Tibet in the past.

The ancestors of Bai Congxin and Ge Du were all moved to the Hexi Corridor at this time. Now they are collectively called Yellow-headed Uighurs, and in a few decades they will be called Shazhou Uighurs.

Although in history, they were used by the Ganzhou Uighurs to divert trouble to the east and gained access to the two prefectures of Guasha, and finally took control of the Guiyi Army.

But in fact, the ancestors of these people can barely be regarded as loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty. Bai Lengleng, the king of Qiuci from the Five Surnames and Three Kings family, is the ancestor of some of them.

"Cong Xin, please go with Huang Yang'er and tell them that after the battle in Ganzhou, I can let them return to their hometown!"

Zhang Zhao said to Bai Congxin that since Bai Congxin has always wanted to go back and rebuild the Qiuci Kingdom, it can be seen that what these yellow-headed Uighurs want most is to return to their hometown.

It just so happened that after the Jin Kingdom of Khotan took more than 3,000 Tang children and tens of thousands of family members to Zhang Zhao, the population in various places in Khotan was somewhat insufficient.

There were not many people in a territory as big as Ningyuan, and Zhang Zhao also promised that after he established a foothold, he would send these Uighurs back to Anxi to strengthen the Khotan Kingdom.

"On behalf of my compatriots on the Qilian Mountains, I would like to thank the king for his kindness. There is not a day that goes by that they don't want to go back to their hometown."

Bai Congxin said to Zhang Zhao with great emotion that he was telling the truth. Ever since they were moved to this bitter cold place by the Tubo people, these Uighurs have always dreamed of returning to their hometown.

However, Zhang Zhao frowned and said to Bai Congxin: "It's a pity that Qiuci is still in the hands of the Gaochang Uighurs, so we must tell them clearly.

We can only survive in the Shule area for a short time. When can we recapture Qiuci? You have to plan well! "

Zhang Zhao feels that this time is not enough! It is said that the Gaochang Uighurs were the culprits who framed the Anxi Army, and Yu Qing should first defeat the Gaochang Uighurs to avenge his hatred.

But the Gaochang Uighurs are also a large country with tens of thousands of people under their control, and they are also a nomadic people.

With Zhang Zhao's current strength, it would be impossible to defeat him within a few years.

If all this time is used in Gaochang, it will inevitably affect Zhang Zhao's efforts to obtain the Lingwu Jiedu Envoy (Shuofang), and even affect his ability to kill the Li family, the army that set in trouble.

never mind! Zhang Zhao couldn't help but feel a headache. He had better deal with the Ganzhou Uighurs first!

. . . .

In Kaifeng Mansion, Tokyo, outside the gate of Daxiangguo Temple, a two-story wooden building rose from the ground. This is a restaurant, and its name is Guiyi Building.

As soon as I heard the name, I knew who opened it. It must be Zhang Zhao, the newly appointed Prince of Wuwei County, the Inspector of the School, and the Ambassador of Hexi Longyou Festival.

Only this powerful prince in Hexi and Guanzhong could open a restaurant outside Daxiangguo Temple. The signature dish is Hexi rock sugar braised pork.

It's not that selling pork in front of a Buddhist temple will make the monks angry, but it's because it's a blatant attempt to steal business!

The signature dish of Daxiangguo Temple is called roasted pork, which is barbecue fat pork. Your restaurant sells Hexi rock sugar braised pork, aren't you looking for trouble?

However, the people in Tokyo who were waiting to see the joke were soon surprised.

On the day the restaurant opened, the roasted pork from Daxiangguo Temple was also moved into the restaurant. The monks who came in and out even got very affectionate with the waiters in the restaurant.

This is magical! You must know that Daxiangguo Temple is not easy to mess with.

This land was originally the old residence of Wei Gongzi Xinlingjun. The temple was built in the sixth year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty (555) four hundred years ago.

During this period, it was destroyed by fire many times and was finally rebuilt. It can be said that it is one of the local snakes with the deepest roots in Tokyo.

There are hundreds of monks, and there are countless farmers who rely on Daxiangguo Temple for food. Even Jiedu envoys from various places have borrowed money from Daxiangguo Temple.

This kind of bastard wearing a religious cloak dared not even give face to the emperor in Daning Palace. Why did he give in to a prince from Hexi?

Finally, someone well-informed found out the reason.

It turns out that Prince Zhang of Hexi Province is not an ordinary person. He was born under the auspices of the God Buddha in heaven. In this life, he went to the Buddha's Lingjiu Mountain to attain enlightenment.

There is also a god-given golden armor to protect the body, and the sweat-blooded horse under the crotch is the reincarnation of the red rabbit horse mounted by Guan Yunchang of the Three Kingdoms.

The Tubo people, Uighurs, and Dangxiang people refer to each other as Dharma King and Bodhisattva. It is said that the Daxiangguo Temple has specially selected a hall where the Dharmakaya of Prince Zhang is being sculpted. This is incredible!

With such a mysterious veil, Guiyilou's business became extremely popular as soon as it opened. Ordinary people would not be able to eat at all if they didn't reserve a seat in advance.

Known as the three delicacies of Guiyilou, Hexi rock sugar braised pork, crispy roast duck, and the weirdly named curry lamb with plenty of spices are delicacies that many Tokyoites talk about.

Today, the second floor of this restaurant has been occupied.

Of course, the only person with such great energy was Murong Nobunaga, the adopted son of Prince Zhang from Hexi, who had just been appointed by the Emperor as the Commander of the Imperial Guard and Cavalry Capital.
