Chapter 382: The Past in Khotan
"You killed the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, Wei Chi Gongshu, why is that?" Zhao Huan sat in front of the emperor and asked.
Yu Chi Gongshu stood up suddenly, the momentum on his body rose sharply, and the entire hall was densely covered with Sen Luo's evil aura, and Yu Chi Gongshu looked at Zhao Huan on the throne with a little disdain.
"Shaft Ann dares to be so rude!" Shen Cong pulled out half of the ring knife in his hand.
Zhao Huan waved his hand and asked Shen Cong to step back, Shen never brought a knife, he would definitely not be able to beat this man like a mountain.
And he looked at Wei Chi Gongshu with interest, and became more and more sure of what he thought in his heart.
Zhao Huan suddenly stood up and slowly walked in front of Yu Chi Gongshu.
He asked calmly, "I ask you why you killed the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin. ”
Yu Chi Gongshu's expression began to become complicated from the time Zhao Huan stood up from the dragon chair, until Zhao Huan stood in front of him, and the evil spirit on Yu Chi Gongshu's body was gone, and he returned to his original respectful appearance.
The attribute of the king's eight qi is still crushing the attribute of evil qi! Zhao Huan thought self-deprecatingly.
Wei Chi Gongshu bowed his head and said, "The official family, please forgive your subordinates for being rude." ”
"I have been in the Western Regions for a long time, and I heard that the Great Song Dynasty had a Great Song Emperor who had a Wen Taowu strategy, a personal expedition, a Ningwu juncture, and a step backwards, and the king of Gaochang was ready to send someone to the Great Song Dynasty, so the minister took the initiative to invite Ying to come to the Great Song Dynasty."
"I was a little disappointed when I saw the weak scholars of the official family. In Bianjing for a few days, the official family never summoned, and was very impatient, until the minister killed the envoy of the Jin State, the official family summoned him, and did not ask the people of Khotan, but first asked the Jin envoy, thinking that the emperor of the Great Song State was afraid of the Jin State and was a coward. ”
"That's why it's so rude, the minister has no eyes, please punish the official."
Zhao Huan nodded, and motioned for Yu Chi Gongshu to sit down, his own skin bag and the heroic spirit between his eyebrows can fool many people.
He walked in front of Wei Chi Gongshu so arrogantly, or because Zhao Ying followed him step by step.
Zhao Ying's eyes rolled, and before the official family could react, he put a stool under the official.
Wei Chi Gong said angrily: "The official family asked the minister, why did you kill the envoy of the Jin State. ”
"The affairs of the countries of the Western Regions, An is under the direction of the Jin Kingdom, a small country?! However, he was verbose three or four times, and he was not a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, so in a fit of anger, the minister killed him. ”
"The Jin envoy is not ashamed to speak and constantly belittles the Great Song Dynasty! And the minister is from the Khotanese royal family, how can he hear him insult the Great Song Dynasty so much! ”
Khotanese royal family! Yu Chi's.
As the royal family of Khotan, how can they look at the Jin Kingdom, one of the five wastes after the Tang Dynasty?
Wei Chi Gongshu's eyes are full of memories, he has listened to his father since he was a child to tell about the glory of Khotan, and about the involvement between Khotan and the Central Plains Dynasty.
"During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian went out of the fortress, educated me in Khotan, taught the people to be effective, and the people to be weathered, gave me the people of Khotan to wear clothes, taught me to train soldiers in Khotan, read and write, and Khotan has always been the capital of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty."
"It's still 1,363 years!" This mighty man, when he said this number, two lines of turbid tears slowly flowed.
And the temple of Honglu Temple is looking left and right, Wei Chi Gongshu is now so emotional that he can't speak, so he has to bite the bullet and say: "Official, the Han army Sima Ban Chaosai helped Khotan to restore the country, and with Khotan's soldiers, he went around to conquer, attacking Gumo in the north, and breaking Shache and Shule in the west. ”
With the help of Ban Chao, Khotan became an elite and obedient to the thirteen kingdoms from the northwest to Shule. A powerful country in the Western Regions with 50,000 soldiers. ”
"During the Zhenguan period, before the former Tang Dynasty established the Western Regions Protectorate, Tubo attacked Khotan, and the king of Khotan, Fu Jiaxiong, beat Tubo, and then personally entered the Tang Dynasty, the Tang King was in Khotan, set up the Bisha Governor's Mansion, and governed 6 cities and 10 prefectures. It was also before the four towns of Anxi. ”
"During the reign of Empress Wu Zetian, Empress Wu gave up the four towns of Anxi on the grounds that the affairs of the country were not in the country, and the affairs were not in the cultivation, and the people who did the things of the three emperors and the five emperors were also the reasons for resting the borders, retiring the armor soldiers, and doing the things of the three emperors and five emperors."
"But Khotan still pays tribute every year, and salutes his ministers, and in the former Tang Wuwei Army Commander Wang Xiaojie, in the recovery of the four towns of Anxi, he is even more saddle before and after the horse."
There were also two Khotanese kings who changed their surname to Li. Originally, Khotan wanted to change his surname to the whole country, but because Wei Chi was the national surname, in order to avoid conflict, only the king changed his surname to Li. ”
"In the troubled times at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the country of five generations, Khotan would pay tribute almost every few years."
Prime Minister Zhang Dian made an appointment with Khotan to attack Western Xia and recover Guazhou Yumen Pass and other places. However, it was lost during the Xuanhe period. ”
"Since Zhang Qian's exit, Khotan has never severed the bond with my Central Plains, but in the second year of Xiangfu, the envoy of Gaochang State and the Great Song Dynasty Xiuguo made a good relationship, and the news came that Khotan destroyed the country."
The temple of Honglu Temple is slowly telling the history of Khotan, and the captain Chi Gongshu in the court is no longer crying.
A stout man like a hill, sitting on a chair, crying is distressing.
"It's my Great Song Dynasty, I'm sorry for you in Khotan." Zhao Huan said with a sigh.
Wei Chi Gongshu finally stopped crying and said: "Official, the minister came this time, as an envoy of Gaochang, but he came for Khotan!" Please canonize the king of Khotan again, I will go up and down in Khotan, and I will be the head of the Great Song Dynasty! ”
"How many remnants are there in Khotan?" Zhao Huan asked.
"There are more than 3,200 households, 8,300 people, and 3,000 soldiers." Wei Chi Gongshu said without hesitation.
Zhao Huan asked again, "What about the Gaochang Uighurs?" What about black sweat? What about Jerodashi? What about the big food? ”
Wei Chi Gongshu immediately said: "There are 50,000 households in Gaochang Kingdom, 120,000 people, and 50,000 soldiers. There are 40,000 black sweat households and 30,000 soldiers. Jerodashi didn't know. ”
"The white-clothed food has died in the country, and now it is the black-clothed food, with more than 30 million households, more than 80 million people, and countless soldiers."
"However, the black-clothed food countries are far away, and there are very few troops left in the countries of the Western Regions. Black sweat is supported by black clothes and food. ”
He naturally made sufficient preparations when he came to Bianjing, and he had already understood these things clearly.
Zhao Huan nodded, looked at Yu Chi Gongshu and said, "Even the weakest black sweat, Khotan doesn't have the strength to fight. Khotan has shed too much blood, so forget it, you should move back to Guannai. ”
Wei Chi Gongshu said with a somewhat anxious face: "Official"
Zhao Huan said: "You can't fight anymore, if you fight Khotan again, it's really gone, you know?" Yelu Dashi led 100,000 young and middle-aged people, all of whom were wearing armor and stubborn, and pointed straight to the Western Regions, which is not something you can resist. ”
Zhao Huan patted Wei Chi Gongshu and stood up and said, "I know your earnest heart, but Khotan moved back to Guannei, recuperated, and waited until the right time to enter the Western Regions!" ”
Zhao Huan said with blazing eyes: "For the good of the people of Khotan, listen to me." ”
"Okay." Wei Chi Gongshu hesitated for a long, long time before answering.
Zhao Huan nodded, this is a friendship of 1,300 years, Zhao Huan is unwilling to discard it like this, they are in the Western Regions, although the name is Khotan, in fact, they are concerned about the Central Plains.
The Great Song Dynasty was a little promising, and Khotan sent someone here, which was really not easy.
The reason why Zhao Huan is reluctant to enter the Western Regions now is completely to avoid fighting on two fronts.
The Jin people's side can be said to be a deep hatred in the sea of blood, and they have to take revenge, which is a hatred that can only be offset by destroying the other party.
Otherwise, the people of Dasonghe East Road, Hebei Liang Road, and Gyeonggi Road will be the first to refuse.
If you rashly attack the Western Regions at this time and fight on two fronts, with the current strength in Zhao Huan's hands, it is simply unrealistic.
"Let the Taiwei 10,000 soldiers to help the people of Khotan withdraw to Guanzhong for resettlement. Scatter the Imperial City Inspector, scout the Western Regions, and prepare for the march, I will go one day! Zhao Huan looked at Kan Yutu and said.
He explained to Yu Chi Gongshu that he could not enter the Western Regions now.
"Are you interested in becoming an official in the Great Song Dynasty?" Zhao Huan suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Wei Chi Gongshu glanced at Shen Cong's little arms and legs, and said with a slight smile: "That minister came down to the Great Song Dynasty, isn't he invincible in the world?" ”
Zhao Huan shook his head, it is the nature of a military man to be competitive, and Shen Cong's height and weight are not as far as Wei Chi Gongshu.
It's inherently uneasy.
He smiled and said: "I have a great general, Yue Fei, who has won a hundred battles, and has no opponent, do you want to try?" ”
"Good!" Wei Chigong readily agreed.
It's just that he doesn't know what kind of macho man he provoked.
