Chapter 157: Recovering Liangzhou

Looking at the secret music in his hand, Ma Yun shook his head regretfully. There's one thing to say here, two different things. Regarding Wang Yin's imprisonment, the folk circulars in Songzhou are: the usurpation version of the dynasty; And the information obtained from high-level officials in every possible way shows an arrogant and domineering Wang Yin.

In fact, Wang Yin is a little wronged. In the face of his former benefactor, he is naturally enthusiastic, but what about this benefactor? First, he is not as sharp as Su Qin and Zhang Yi; Second, don't say anything ambitious, he doesn't even have a big insight in his heart. But there is one thing that this person has the advantage of, that is, he has no desires and no desires. is over sixty years old, and he is still just a small Langzhong, and his family is not rich in money, but it is more than enough to live in a well-off family. It is such an honest man, what he said made Wang Yin feel very real and willing to believe him. Of course, Wang Yin didn't want to fall out with the old Guo family in his bones, and he also played a very important role. In this case, Da Chu's shadow son will be troublesome to work. To put it simply, just four words: return in vain!

When he went to Songzhou, Wang Yin brought a guard of 3,000 people, and he didn't know whether he was afraid that Guo Rong would turn his face, or because he had been sitting for a long time in Caizhou, and he had developed a habit of going in and out a lot. After arriving in Songzhou, Wang Yin himself and 3ooo men and horses were stationed outside the city, and when he entered the city, and even when he met Guo Rong, he took 500 men and horses.

I don't know what Wang Yin thinks about this behavior, but it really angered Guo Rong, and Guo Rong hated and feared Wang Yin in his heart. What do you think, Wang Yin went to see Guo Rong, there were more guards around him than Guo Rong's, can Guo Rong not be suspicious?

Besides, Guo Rong not only summoned Wang Yin alone in Songzhou, but all the senior generals on the front line of the Huaihe River came. Wang Yin did this, not because of Guo Rong's problems, but because Guo Rong finally made up his mind to clean up Wang Yin. On such an occasion, to deal with Wang Yin, one cannot but consider the thoughts of other generals.

And the generals of the southern front also disagreed with Wang Yin's behavior. The generals from the white-clothed army, seeing Wang Yin like this, were simply furious, and secretly quietly co-starred with Guo Rong, asking Guo Rong to take Wang Yin, not the generals of the white-clothed army, and did not agree with or support Wang Yin's behavior. In other words, none of these generals had any weight to support Wang Yin. The emperor had the idea of taking Wang Yin, and the ministers did not object, and even actively supported it, can Wang Yin not be taken?

Wang Yin was appointed as the privy deputy envoy, nominally promoted to the official, but in fact he was transferred out of Caizhou, in order to appease the Caizhou army and stabilize the people's hearts, Guo Rong and Yecheng left behind the veteran general Xiang Xun, appointed as the Caizhou Jiedu envoy. After all this was done, Guo Rong once again set his sights on the north.

"Hey, Wang Yin is finished, and now Guo Rong has basically integrated the army in the Central Plains. That's not good news for us! Ma Yun said regretfully.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Guo Rong's move is advantageous and hidden. The good thing is that from now on, there is no more powerful minister in the entire pseudo-Zhou, and Guo Rong can really achieve the mastery of government decrees and can transform the pseudo-Zhou according to his own ideas. However, the Khitans are on our side, and under our attack from the north and south, it is an unchangeable fact that the pseudo-Zhou is going downhill. Even if Guo Rongtian's great skills are great, in the end, it will be difficult to escape the fate of the country's ruin, at most, it will be a few more years. Li Xiang said with a smile.

Ma Yun nodded, the major events in the world have basically been determined, and the rest is nothing more than a matter of time. Compared with the great good news that the Khitans were preparing to go south, Wang Yin's peaceful resignation was just a small ripple, and it was not enough to change the situation at all.

As the saying goes, blessings and disasters are not a single line, of course, we have a long history in China, and famous quotes emerge in endlessly. You can find a random topic, as long as you put your heart into it, you can always find a famous quote in history that supports the remarks, which is what is often said: the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable. You say that blessing is unequaled, isn't there another sentence called: Double happiness is coming.

But just as Ma Yun smiled and was about to let go of the secret music, another officer of the Intelligence Department who accompanied the escort took another secret letter and respectfully presented it to Ma Yun. Ma Yun opened it and looked, yes, it was bad news again. And this news touched Ma Yun much more than just now. This news is about Liangzhou and Zhao Kuangyin.

When the Tang Dynasty was in its heyday, it attacked the Turks in the north, collected the green mountains in the west, expanded the land for thousands of miles, and reached as far as the Aral Sea. However, since the Tianbao period, the Tubo and Uighurs gradually strengthened, and later there was the Anshi Rebellion, and the road to the east of the Western Regions was cut off by the Tubo, but more than 10,000 soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate who were still stranded in the Western Regions could not return to the east, and for about 80 years after that, these soldiers tried their best to maintain the Western Regions for the Tang Dynasty, and on the other hand, they were also waiting for reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, they never waited. From then on, the entire Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties and the Yuan Dynasty were not re-incorporated into the territory of the Western Regions.

However, in the late Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty also recovered the Hexi region (that is, most of Gansu for a few days), which made a strong stroke for the late Tang Dynasty, and was the only foreign military activity that the late Tang Dynasty could handle. It's just that this recovery was not caused by the Tang Dynasty's own army, but by the local Han uprising, leading the people to beat the Tubo people out of Hexi. This person's name is Zhang Yichao.

The Hexi Corridor is full of vegetation and fertile land, which can be pasturated and cultivated, and it is definitely a treasure land in the Western Regions. In the second year of the Tang Dynasty (848 AD), Zhang Yichao led the people of Shazhou (now the west of Dunhuang County, Gansu) to revolt and expelled the defenders of Tubo. The Tang Emperor set up the Guiyi Army in Shazhou and appointed Zhang Yichao as an envoy. In order to reassure the Tang Emperor, Zhang Yichao's brother Zhang Yitan stayed in Chang'an as a hostage. In 867 AD, after Zhang Yichao became an adult with his nephew Zhang Huaishen, he still rushed to Chang'an, and stayed in Chang'an since then, expressing his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty with practical actions. Someone once wrote a poem to praise Zhang Yichao: "Hexi has been reduced for more than 100 years, and the road is blocked by Xiao Guan Yan Xinxin. General Ryder opened the old road and became famous all over the world. ”

During Zhang Yichao's period, he relied entirely on his own ability to basically restore the entire Hexi region, but at that time Hexi was still not peaceful, and there was always the possibility of conflict between the Uighurs in the north and the Tibetan in the south. However, the central government of the Tang Dynasty ignored these objective situations, and only felt that Zhang Yichao's transfer to his nephew represented the emergence of a new feudal town, and did some tricks in appointing Zhang Huaishen as the envoy of the Guiyi Army, trying to win over the rest of the people to contain Zhang Huaishen, so as to facilitate the central control of Hexi. This directly led to the civil strife of the Guiyi Army, which was born in 89o AD. Zhang Huaishen and his son were killed, several sons-in-law were in civil strife, the strength of the Guiyi army was greatly damaged, Ganzhou was captured by the Uighurs, Suzhou became independent, and Liangzhou, which was separated by Ganzhou and Suzhou, actually became a lonely outcast. The Guiyi Army only retained Guazhou and Shazhou (the later world-famous Mogao Grottoes Tibetan Scripture Cave was hidden by the Guiyi Army).

In other words, it is likely that a good Hexi region was played to death by the Tang government itself. Perhaps, even the Tang government itself does not believe that it has so much influence among the people in the Hexi region, especially the Han people. People like Zhang Yichao were all subjected to the brutal rule of the Tubo people during their growth period, and they were very nostalgic for the gentle wind and drizzle of the Tang Dynasty in the past, and they were full of hope for the Tang Dynasty.

However, for Pseudo Zhou and Zhao Kuangyin, the decline of the Guiyi Army and the chaos in the Hexi region are definitely a great opportunity. First of all, there is no strong political power here, some are just multi-ethnic gatherings, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Uighur, Han, party, and so on are interspersed with each other. And it was precisely because of the threat to Liangzhou from the six Tibetan tribes in Liangzhou that Zhang Chao, the assassin of Liangzhou, could no longer withstand the pressure and asked for support from the pseudo-Zhou.

In this way, Zhao Kuangyin smoothly entered Liangzhou City. Zhang Yichao fought for 3 years in order to recover Liangzhou. If there is no Zhao Kuangyin, it will not take two years, Liangzhou City will inevitably be broken by Tubo, and when the time comes, the assassin Zhang Dynasty will have to be ruined, but now Zhao Kuangyin is here, although Zhang Chao has lost the prestige of the soil emperor, but he can enter the Central Plains and be a rich man, and he himself is very willing. Zhao Kuangyin's action is to cooperate with every effort.

After Zhao Kuangyin entered Liangzhou, he did not directly use troops against the six Tibetan tribes in the south, and then sent people to negotiate peace, declaring his willingness to live in peace. It's a pity that the Tubo people didn't realize that this was Zhao Kuangyin's first salute and then the soldiers, but thought that Zhao Kuangyin's Zhou army was not good. Although our Tubo Sixth Division is a small tribe, they are not afraid of war, and they are unwilling to negotiate peace under such a situation of great advantage.

If the peace talks break down, they can only fight. For a long time, Zhao Kuangyin's army had been cowering in Liangzhou City and could not get out of the city, which made the Tubo Sixth Department even more confident, and they went to Liangzhou again to prepare for the siege. It's a pity that he was careless in the middle of the road, and Zhao Kuangyin's ambush was hit, and the killed ones lost their armor and surrounded them. The patriarchs of Tubo were all besieged in a valley, which gave Zhao Kuangyin a chance to recover. I don't know what means Zhao Kuangyin used, but he actually formed an alliance with the six tribes to deal with the enemy together. The key reason why these six tribes attacked the city of Liangzhou was that the Uighurs in Ganzhou in the west put too much pressure on them, so that they had to find ways to seize the territory so as not to be wiped out by the Uighurs in Ganzhou.

The Tibetans and the Uighurs fought for decades, and their mutual enmity was great. So, the two sticks hit it off and set their sights on Ganzhou.
