Chapter 1: Looking at the Sword (Mikami)

King Bakhana was originally a Turkic chieftain who took advantage of the opportunity of the Great Food and the Tang Dynasty to compete for the Western Regions to seek control of the city. Since becoming self-reliant, the country has pursued a left-right approach. Even if he pays tribute to the Great Tang Dynasty, he refuses to offend the Great Cannibal too much. More than ten years ago, his king Asiranda Khan was canonized as the king of Fenghua for his meritorious work in helping to eliminate the Tuqi Shi Khan spitting fire immortals. Since then, because of marrying Princess Yihe, the relationship with Datang has become increasingly close.

Asiranda Khan was a very clever man, and he tried many times to remove the title of king, and he was appointed as the governor of Huxun Prefecture, as he did in the time of Gaozong. In order to promote benevolence to the countries of the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty did not accept his request for a long time. The two sides pretended to be confused, and neither of them pierced the last layer of window paper, but they also got along well with each other. Every time the Anxi army fought in the river, Asiranda Khan would inevitably send troops to help. And every time the Anxi army won the battle, a large amount of gold, silver, fine, soft, livestock and grain would be distributed, so that the soldiers of Bahanna returned with large bags and small wraps to satisfaction.

In the battle of Talas in the tenth year of Tianbao, Bahanna stood on the side of the Tang Dynasty again. However, because of the betrayal of the Goloros, the Anxi army suffered its worst setback in fifty years. After the war, the northwestern countries of the Green Mountains fell into the front and rear attacks of Dashi and Geluluo, and had to surrender on their knees. The country of Bahana had no choice but to go with the flow and was forced to cut off contact with the Tang Dynasty.

However, the monarchs and ministers of Asilanda knew very well in their hearts that although the strength of the Anxi army had suffered major damage, with the support from the Central Plains, it was only a matter of three or five years for its vitality to be restored to its heyday. Although the Great Cannibal is menacing, its country's wealth and strength cannot be compared with the Tang Dynasty at all. Therefore, although the country of Bahanna turned Dashi as the suzerain, it was still able to treat the people under its rule equally, and refused to confiscate the property of all the people in the country who had anything to do with the Tang Dynasty and reduced them to slavery like the neighboring Geluluo and Zhezhi.

For such a group of "stubborn" guys, the Great Food Sect Master was naturally very dissatisfied. It's just that the civil strife in the country has just ended, and I can't spare my hands to clean it up for a while. So he had to resort to the old method, first using religious forces to infiltrate the local nobles little by little, and then looking for an opportunity to depose Asiranda and introduce a more obedient puppet.

This kind of trick that has been used rotten naturally makes Asiranda monarchs and ministers even more centrifugal. Therefore, they were always staring at the Anxi army's every move with wide eyes, ready to stand up again. After the news of Feng Changqing's defeat of the Heavenly Sect's Eastern Expeditionary Army in Jian Daluo spread, the entire Western Regions was shaken. The local nobles who had originally taken refuge in the Heavenly Sect had drawn a line with the proprietors behind them. Asiranda took advantage of the rectification of law and order, in case Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to make trouble, and ruthlessly cleaned up the pro-big food forces in the country. However, following the "Wang Shi", he stopped with Xiao Bolu and refused to go west. Asiranda began to regret it again, complaining about how the great minister Zhang Guigui didn't remind himself, so that he recklessly made a big mistake.

At this juncture, the son of Sharp Sulun, the governor of Mulu City, suddenly led the Tang envoy to visit secretly, how could it not make the monarch of Asiranda overjoyed? Immediately ordered someone to open the main gate of the palace, and welcomed Wang Xun and others in the name of welcoming long-lost old friends. The guests and hosts had a good conversation, and a tentative agreement was reached a day later. In the spring of next year, the Tang Anxi Army will take the opportunity to cross the Green Ridge. At that time, Bahanna and Mulu will set an example for the Lingxi countries and welcome the king by the side of the medicine killing water.

In order to make the Anxi army have a reason, Bahanna and Mulu will also take the lead in bringing together the Lingbei countries that were blocked by Gelluluo, as well as Persia, Nantianzhu, Tocharo, etc., which were conquered by the Great Eclipse, and re-declared themselves to the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, he begged Wang Shi to continue to advance westward, completely expel the remnants of the Great Food, and save Lingxi Lishu from fire and water.

"The good teachers know that although the countries of Lingxi are of the same origin, they are uneven. Some still do not forget the grace of Datang's support and rescue back then, while others have long had their conscience taken away by wolves. Whoever the big cannibal asks him to bite, he will bite! "After the first seal was used on the pre-drafted form begging the king to march westward, the lord of the country of Bakhana, Asiranda, pondered for a moment and solemnly reminded him.

"There is an old saying in the Central Plains, which is called the dragon gives birth to nine sons, and each is different." Being able to convince Sirlanda to revert to the Tang Dynasty so quickly has been a bit unexpected, so he doesn't care much about the troubles he may encounter on the road ahead, "Someone like King Fenghua who flies high above the clouds will definitely be able to see farther." And some stupid things with a small eye are destined to carry stone monuments for others! ”

The traditional sacred relics of the Turkic people are wolves, but through generations of exchanges and intermarriages with the Central Plains, the cultural gap has been very small. The legend of the dragon son and grandson is also very clear, so he can understand the meaning of Wang Xun's words without others explaining it for him, smiled happily, raised his voice a little and said: "But those stupid things are always beyond their own strength, and they always want to compete with the real dragon. Even if you don't have the courage to fly into the air, you will lie on the ground as a roadblock! ”

"Then just move them away!" Wang Xun also smiled, his young face full of confidence. "It's just that King Fenghua needs to indicate who it is in advance, so that when I send troops from the Tang Dynasty, he will cover his head and pretend to be obedient!"

Hearing this, the eyes of several pro-Tang ministers immediately emitted an eager light, and Asiranda was breathless, nodded, and continued to use the topic to play: "As a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, of course, you have to share the worries of the lord. But though my short-sighted brothers are guilty, the people under his command are innocent. They are my kindred after all, and I can't bear to let them suffer the pain of losing my country again! ”

This is already Wang Xun's guessing ability in the school. Fortunately, before leaving, Xue Jingxian had already prepared enough answers for Wang Xun according to the information provided by Su Shi, the prince of Mulu City, and according to the situation that might be encountered in the area of the river. Pretending to hesitate for a moment, Wang Xun shook his head with a smile, "I, the Tang Dynasty, have always only sought the status of a monarch and a minister in the treatment of Lingxi and Lingbei, and have never sought an inch of land. The Anxi army was busy confronting Da Shi, and he must not be able to draw out the right person to govern the place for a while. According to the meaning of this envoy, instead of sending an official from Chang'an who is not familiar with the people's situation here, it is better to simply bother the lords of the country to put more effort into it. In this way, it not only rewarded you for your hard work before and after the saddle, but also made the local people not feel too sad. It's just that the envoy doesn't know, does King Fenghua still have extra energy? ”

"This king has repeatedly received the grace of the Tang Dynasty, and he shares his worries for His Majesty, how can he dare to push back and obstruct? Mo said that he was still in the prime of life at this time, even if he was too old to climb and couldn't climb, he didn't dare to delay His Majesty's entrustment! Asilanda's eyes lit up, and he no longer pulled Wang Xun around the bend, and couldn't wait to respond.
