Huarong is handed, and there will be a city. ”

This is the evaluation of Dunhuang County by the people of the time.

Although Dunhuang County is located in the westernmost part of Longzhou, Yumen Pass is in the west of its county boundary. The population in the county is not much, there were only more than 6,000 households earlier, and now after several waves of displaced people, there are only more than 10,000 households, which is not as good as a large county in the inner county, but the county governance of Dunhuang County Dunhuang County is not desolate, and can even be called prosperous.

There are three reasons for this.

This place is the only place for the Western Regions to enter Longzhou, and there is a constant stream of businessmen coming and going. This is one of them.

The merchants of the Western Regions will not all enter the hinterland of Longzhou, and then continue to go deep into the Central Plains, among them, there are quite a few, often stop here, and after selling the goods here, they will make a return journey and no longer continue to the east, which leads to Dunhuang County, there is no shortage of Tang people from all over the country to buy goods from the Western Regions. This is the second one.

The cultural heritage of Dunhuang has always been good, don't look at the small population, there are excellent characters in all dynasties. Far away, only before the dynasty moved to Ding, there were five Dunhuang scholars in Taixue, known as the "Dunhuang Five Dragons", well-known at home. Driven by these scholars, the humanistic atmosphere of Dunhuang is quite good, attracting some scholars from neighboring counties to study here. Thirdly.

Xin Er only stayed in Dunhuang County for one day, and he couldn't help but sigh at the sheep fashion, strict attack, bald hair and wild hair.

Standing on the platform of the county hall, overlooking the city, he said: "The 'city' is lined with shops, and all kinds of goods from the Western Regions are dizzying; the streets are mixed with Tang and Hu, pedestrians are one after another, and cars and horses are flowing endlessly. In the school, there is a lot of books; In the alley, the pipa is heard from afar. Shidao, where does this seem to be the border of my Dingxi, I don't know, and I suddenly thought it was another small king city! ”

Bald Boye and others have never been to Dunhuang.

Yan Xi had been here from the army, but he was a rough man, and he couldn't say anything, so he just agreed.

When he was a teenager, he traveled to study in the country and also came here.

He was different from Yan Xian, and said with a smile: "This county is loyal, the characters are elegant, and when the world is in its heyday, it is still called in the sea." What is happening today? At the same time, this county is adjacent to the western region, and domestic and foreign businessmen gather. Although it is the west, it is a famous state. ”

Xin Er smiled and said: "It's a pity that General Beigong will arrive tomorrow at the latest, and after joining him, he will go west to the Western Regions; But there is no extra time, let me have a good taste of this 'famous state'. ”

Yang Chao smiled: "It doesn't matter. The Ming Duke can wait until the triumph of the Western Regions, have the pawn of a hundred victories, take the prisoners of the ten countries, return to the Jade Gate with great might, and then come to Dunhuang, and then calmly enjoy the scenery in the county. Presumably, the state of mind at that time was far from being comparable to the present! ”

Xin Er laughed and said, "I want you to be lucky!" I hope that this expedition to the Western Regions can be successful in one fell swoop! Seeing Zhang Gui pulling off his clothes, he hurriedly climbed the stairs and asked him, "Do Suo Changshi and Captain Zhang have any returns?" ”

"Suo Changshi", named Suo Gong; "Zhang Xiaowei", named Zhang Shao.

These two people are the current Governor of the Western Regions and Captain Wuji.

Both of them were from Dunhuang.

In fact, more than two of them are Dunhuang people, since the Western Tang Dynasty, the previous Western Regions Governor, Wuji Lieutenant, because the station is next to Dunhuang, more than eighty percent are Dunhuang people; Moreover, most of these eighty percent are from the Suo and Zhang families.

This "rope" is the "rope" of the rope.

Suo's is another generation of generals in Dingxi, outside the Koji family. However, compared with the foreign relatives of the Koji family, they ascended to the court early, and they were already one of the first-class valve families in Dingxi, and the territory of the Suo family was mainly in the Dunhuang area.

During the Western Tang Dynasty, Suo's once produced an outstanding talent, named Suo Jing, who was the head of the "Dunhuang Five Dragons". Suo Jing is good at calligraphy, knows military affairs, has foresight, foresees the chaos of the Tang Dynasty, once pointed to the bronze camel outside the gate of Luoyang Palace, and said: "I will meet you in the thorns!" ”

Suo Chong, that is, after Suo Jingdi.

Suo is a big family, with Zhang, Zhao, Yin, Kan and other surnames and Dunhuang Wang family, its family has no less than hundreds of children. In terms of their origins, they are all branches of the Julu Suo, but due to the different relationships between the early and late migration into Dunhuang, the Zhusuo of Dunhuang is now divided into two branches.

One of them, that is, the Suo Chong branch, their ancestors were the Taizhong doctor Suo Fu in the early and middle Qin Dynasty, and Suo Fu was condemned and moved to the border because of his direct advice, and moved from Julu to Dunhuang. When Suo Fu was originally in Julu, his home was in the north of Julu, known as "North Suo".

The other is the current Western Regions Governor Shi Suogong. The ancestor of Suo Gong is Suo Jun in the middle of the Qin Dynasty, after Suo Jun moved to Dunhuang, he lived in the south of Dunhuang, because he was known as "South Suo".

North Suo, South Suo, ancestors are a source, but because Suo Fu moved to Dunhuang, and the ancestral family on the side of Julu was cut off, so now Dunhuang two Suo, once the generations are mentioned, the sons and nephews of the two Suo families are like different surnames, and even the elders and youngsters of each other can not be clear.

Wuji Captain Zhang Shao's family background is similar to Suo Gong.

Their family also migrated from the mainland, and the reason why they migrated to Dunhuang was also because their ancestors were outspoken and informed.

When Zhang Gu arrived, he presented two documents and said, "Yes." Ming Gong, this is the reply of the two of them. ”

Xin Er unfolded and watched them one by one.

After looking at it, Xin Er said to Yang Chao and the others: "Suo Changshi and Captain Zhang have begun to prepare for the army. Just wait for my troops to arrive, and then we can rendezvous. After returning the paperwork to Zhang Gui and ordering it to be put away, he paced to the edge of the stage, stroked the railing with his hand, and looked to the east.

Zhang Gu carefully rolled up the paperwork, put it in his arms, followed Xin Erzuo, and followed his gaze to the east.

The midsummer sun is dazzling, the blue sky is like washing, and the white clouds are like cotton.

At the pole, the distant mountains, the Great Wall, the sky and the earth are connected into a pale yellow line.

"Duke Ming, are you looking at the royal capital?" Zhang Gu asked.

Xin Er did not answer.

The bald Bo Ye roughly guessed a little bit of Xin'er's thoughts, and said: "General, we left Guyin at the end of April, and it is now mid-May. I don't know what the situation is in the middle of the court. ”

Xin Er is indeed a little worried about the situation in the DPRK and China.

He knew very well that Song, Yan, Zhang and other families regarded him as a thorn in their side.

When he was in the court, Song Hong and others had to be a little afraid of Zuo's trust in him, the soldiers and horses under his account and the "wordless" Linghu in his hand. Now that he is thousands of miles away, thinking with his toes, he can also expect that Song Hong and others will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and they will inevitably go up and down, especially that Song Fang, who will definitely not be idle.

Xin Er looked in the direction of Gu Yin in the east, and thought, "I don't know what kind of conspiracy they will do?" ”

Although he is a little worried, in his heart, he is more confident.

Before leaving, he had already arranged the affairs of the court.

A banquet was set up and Sun Yan, Tang Ai, Fu Qiao, Huang Rong, Yang Fu, Cao Fei and others were invited.

Although he didn't say it on the surface, these people should have understood what he meant, and they all knew what they should do after Xin Er left the court.

Xin Er thought in his heart: "Sun Yan is famous, holds financial power, is one of the fates, and can participate in the court discussion of major events. Tang Ai is the third-in-command of the governor's office, and his position is only under Zhang Shengcheng and me, and with the cooperation of Yang Fu, he can master military affairs. Fu Qiao's job is in the important place, and no one can get around him. Cao Fei is in charge of the garrison troops of the royal capital, and the Taima battalion in his department is the first-class iron cavalry of my Dingxi. Huang Rong, as a permanent attendant, is a close minister of Ling Hule, has the right to discuss, and his person is deep and scheming, which is enough to be the mastermind of Fu Qiao, Cao Fei and others.

"With these six people in the capital, I will be away from the DPRK for a year, and there will be no major changes in the DPRK and China."

Thinking of this, Xin Er couldn't help but turn his eyes to look at Yang Xian, and thought, "Shidao is really my humerus!" Among the six people, Sun Yan and Tang Ai, the two heavyweights, are all thanks to Shidao for threading the needle and threading for me; Yang Fu is his brother. If there is no Shidao, I don't want to say that I can leave the court with confidence today, even if I am still in the court, I am afraid that it will be difficult, and I can only be excluded to the edge by Song, Fan and other families! ”

There was a noise on the stairs.

Xin Er turned his head to look, and four or five people came up one after another.

These four or five people are all blue-eyed and bearded bearded Western Regions Hu species, there are three generals in armor, a military official in a pleated hakama, and a bald monk. These people are a "consultant team" specially selected by Xin Er for this expedition to the Western Regions.
