Chapter 687 Liangzhou
In Guzang at the beginning of August, the yellow sand was rolling, the clouds were dense, and a heavy snow was coming.
A group of hundreds of people, wrapped in thick furs, rode horses to the city of Guzang.
"The ancient famous city really lives up to its name."
Fan Wenjin raised his head, looked at the tall city walls of Guzang City, and muttered weakly, compared to when he left Hedong, this person had lost a full weight.
The face is already sallow, and it doesn't look very healthy, so it will be even more black and thin, like going to see the Buddha.
What kind of rhetoric comes from the mouth of such a person who has traveled thousands of miles and died for a lifetime, it is impossible to have any momentum, Fan Wenjin actually doesn't think about the famous city now, he just wants to enter the city quickly to rest and fight for himself.
From Hedong to Xiliang, but also around a big circle, the trip lasted several months, the wind and sand are stuck, the journey is hard, not to mention, along the way from all ethnic groups of horse bandits, herdsmen, soldiers, thieves, etc., etc., all make this trip full of the taste of death.
Now that he has finally arrived at his destination, what ancient city has to do with him, in addition to being full of happiness and wanting to kowtow to the old god who didn't want his life, he just wants to eat some hot food and sleep well.
"A great place indeed......
A majestic man beside Fan Wenjin accosted him, his face covered with a white cloth, and the words he said were sullen, but he was full of energy, obviously, this itinerary is really nothing in the eyes of others.
This person's surname is Liang, the general of Liang Guowuwei, and the cousin of Emperor Liang and Liang Shidu.
Fan Wen came to the west, first entered Liang to see Emperor Liang, and the conversation was not bad, Liang Shi was beaten by Li Daozong, the governor of Lingzhou, the deputy head of the Lingzhou march, and Duan Decao, the assassin of Yanzhou, and so on.
But where can the Turks take care of him now, and some people even say that this is the title of Shibi Khan, and he should be renamed to show his subordination.
The meaning is that when the initial Bi Khan was too tolerant of these Sui people who surrendered to the Turks, he should demote these guys who only want the Turks to help them.
Anyway, this year Liang Shi had a very bad time, and felt that the Turkic foreign aid seemed to be very unreliable, and when he was distressed, the king of Han, who occupied the Jin land, sent someone to want to form an alliance with him and discuss Li Yuan.
Liang Shi was overjoyed when he heard it, the two families were not far apart, for Li Ding'an and his people, Liang Shi heard it from the Turkic population at first, and later when he killed Guo Zihe in Yulin, the generals he sent said that he saw the people and horses of Jindi, and it was very elite.
Moreover, at that time, Li Po, who started as a pawn on the side, had a good reputation, and when the Turks talked about Li Po, most of them gritted their teeth, but they were not without awe.
So Liang Shidu, who had more dealings with the Turks, became more and more familiar with Li Po, who had just been called the king of Han, and his impression of Li Ding'an, the king of Han, was that this person was a character, who beat the Turks and called his father and mother, but in the end he seemed to marry a Turkic princess.
In these years, there are a lot of people who can get involved with the Turks, but there are only people who have enmity with the Turks, but they can promote peace with war, and the similar meaning is that at this time, Li Ding'an, the king of Han, can send someone to conspire with him Liang Shidu, and he feels a little honored.
Of course, he himself will categorically not admit this, just like the Han King Li Ding'an copied Li Yuan's old nest, which is also amazing in his opinion, but he will never express this admiration.
If Li Po was allowed to see this Emperor of Liang now, he would definitely feel that this one was too frustrated, and he hugged the thigh of the Turkic royal court when he raised his army, but over the years, he was simply defeated in the Tang Dynasty.
Even a guy like Shi Yangze, the governor of Lingzhou, can try the knife from him, what do you say you are still fighting, just rest as soon as possible.
But in any case, although Liang Shidu did not have a very satisfactory life, he was indeed the one who was most closely connected with the Turkic royal court among the princes of Sui today.
If you look at it from a later point of view, this is definitely an authentic leading party, and it is a hardcore kind, but this year is not popular to say that if you can use the power of the Turks to ascend to the throne, even if you have wagked your tail in front of the Turks, and you are quite happy, but everyone will give a thumbs up, and this person is really heroic.
Of course, if you can beat the Turks into dogs, then everyone is bound to come and see the immortals, just like Li Po fought countless battles with the Turks, but after that, few people believed that he dared to fight the Turks, you can understand how much people think at this time.
And Li Po is the son-in-law of the Turkic Khan, which also makes Liang Shidu feel that although this Han King is from a lower background, he is naturally close to him and is the best ally candidate, well, everyone should know this psychology, so there is no need to go into details.
Therefore, he not only treated the post of Sima of the Han Palace, but also served as Fan Wenjin of Changping County, and immediately sent an envoy to Jindi, wanting to make the covenant real.
In fact, leaving the capital of Liang Division, accompanied by the general of Wuwei Liang Shiming, and waving the Turkic Golden Wolf Banner, the road to Guzang was much safer.
At this time, of course, Fan Wenjin knew that this General Liang Guoda was talking about a good place, and he was probably thinking about how to take this good place for himself.
He used to be the Sima of the Qinzhou Thorn History, and he is very familiar with the folk customs of the Northwest, these people are the same as wolves, and they are more ferocious and greedy than people in other places, which can no longer be described by martial arts.
And then if my father is here, what should I do, Fan Wenjin listened to these words a lot, but he didn't get bored, and he thought it was true, when the governor of Liangzhou was there, it was indeed the most chaotic time in the northwest, but later, when the people of all ethnic groups in the northwest heard the name of Yang Shuang, the king of Weizhao, who would dare to say half a word of disrespect?
If it weren't for Yang Shuang's early death, any Western Turks, or the Turkic royal court, or Tuyuhun, would almost have to be cleaned up by His Royal Highness the King of Wei.
In fact, Liang Shiming couldn't say too much about Gu Zang's benefits, he just saw the largest city in the northwest, and suddenly felt that the place where his family lived seemed to be too shabby, if he could...... Uh-huh, that's a good place.
Fan Wenjin was very "kind", and he endured the soreness all over his body and explained to this guy who was not a martial artist, "This is the place where the shape wins, controlling the north and the south, the east and the west, there are not many people in the world who win, according to it, it can be the emperor's industry, the emperor of Daliang...... Tsk......"
Looking at the sour Ding Wen next to him who seemed to be about to swallow his breath, Liang Shiming was extremely dissatisfied, "How is that compared to Chang'an?" ”
Fan Wenjin tugged the muscles on his face, and said in his heart, you really dare to say that with your brother's appearance, even with the help of the Turks, I don't know that the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue can only go to Chang'an to see it, maybe they will still be tied up.
In fact, Fan Wenjin's mind was also a little confused at this time, Liang Shidu was very chaotic, and it didn't look like he could do anything, and this person was too close to the Turks, and many of the generals under his command were Turks, and some people were like Turkic slaves.
Before leaving, the king of Han had a long talk with him, allowing him to act cheaply, and the conditions were very lenient, which could provoke Liang Shidu, and Li Liang and the two of them attacked Tang The best, if they can't, it doesn't matter, take a closer look at the situation in the northwest, and go back to reason.
But beware of these two guys jumping over the wall and leading the Turks south...... Of course, even so, Fan Wenjin has nothing to do, he is neither Su Qin nor Zhang Yi, and he does not have such a flexible tongue to persuade these great rebels at the end of the Sui Dynasty to change their minds.
It can be said that similar to what Li Po thought, Fan Wenjin is not a good messenger, he may have great talents, but he is not cunning enough, and he lacks the perseverance and toughness that a messenger should have.
What's especially important is that this person doesn't seem to be in good health, and after a long journey, he is likely to die halfway.
But there is no way, there are so many talents under Li Po's command, and he can't choose a suitable person, so Fan Wenjin is lucky, of course, for Fan Wenjin himself, I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky.
Li Po belongs to having dates and no dates to hit a rod, for Fan Wenjin, it is purely involuntarily, and his little arm wants to twist the thigh of King Han, in the next life.
Don't think about never going back, he is different from those lonely Henan people, he has a family and a business in Changping, and he has a good life, give him a god, and it is impossible to do something to abandon his family and business.
When he arrived at this ancient silk road, Fan Wenjin could only try his best to think about it, neither throw his own life here, nor do he achieve nothing, otherwise it would be difficult to talk when he went back, you know, His Royal Highness the King of Han is very difficult to fool.
And what he is doing now is out of instinct, feeling that the envoy of Liang Shidu should not be allowed to complete Emperor Liang's entrustment safely and smoothly, once the two people who are related to the northwest and the Turks are connected, who the hell knows how much things can be done.
"Chang'an, it's just a little better, General Liang should know that this place is connected to the Western Regions, located in a key place, when the Sui Emperor patrolled Zhangye, he used to be here, and the former Sui Wei Wang Yang Shuang, the general Duan Wenzhen, Shangshu Zuo Servant Yang Su and other famous generals are all here to show their martial arts......"
"This kind of place is rare, even if Chang'an Dayi, when it comes to garrisoning troops, it is a few points inferior here, and ...... There are a lot of businessmen here, many people are rich, and there is Liangzhou Horse Farm for use, both assets and soldiers, and the management is good, and the top and bottom are united, and the force is eastward, who can stop it? It is because of this that my lord of justice sent me to make friends. ”
Sure enough, as Fan Wenjin expected, before the words fell, Liang Shiming already sneered, "If this is the case, Li Liang's guy would have entered Chang'an a long time ago......"
