According to Sang Yun's introduction, the ruling power of the Guiyi Army has fallen from the Zhang family to the Cao family.

There are also contradictions between the current Guiyi Army and the Khotanese state. Khotan's main enemy was the Black Khanate, and Li Shengtian had been planning a counteroffensive, and he wanted to deal a fatal blow to the Black Khanate to protect Khotan's safety. In addition, he also maintained a confrontational attitude towards Tibet, so he hoped that the Guiyi army could contain Tibet and provide cover for Khotan.

However, the Guiyi army faced the pressure of the Uighurs in Xizhou, hoping to cooperate with the Dangxiang, and after more than 100 years, the Han people in the Western Regions intermarried with the Dangxiang a lot, and there was a problem of Huhua.

In short, Khotan advocated the west first and then the north, while the Guiyi army hoped to first the north and then the west, Khotan hoped to maintain a hostile state against the aliens, and the Guiyi army hoped to form a good party and even sued for peace with Tibet.

It's hard to say whose claim is more reasonable, but in an extremely dangerous situation, the split itself means that each is broken, and the situation in the Western Regions is indeed in danger!

"Hateful!"

Chai Rong slapped the table hard, full of anger, they are all those short-sighted ministers, desperately opposing the rebuilding of Shu Road, if you can start work earlier and go all out, Shu Road will be repaired, and the strategy of the entire northwest will be lived.

Now the army wants to move westward, it is simply impossible!

"Your Majesty need not worry." Ye Hua said: "The minister's proposal to send a thousand people to the Western Regions is well thought out. Among these 1,000 people, 500 experienced veterans and 500 engineers and technicians, immediately set up workshops to produce gunpowder after arriving in the Western Regions. Fortify the city. As long as you have firearms, at least you can block the cavalry of Black Khan, and you can kill as many as you come, you are welcome. As for the party side, as long as they are not tired of being crooked, they should know what to do! ”

Chai Rong pondered for a while, and said: "Immediately send Yang Chongxun as a messenger, with 5,000 people, to inform the party, so that they are not allowed to be embarrassed to return to the righteous army, the past can be blamed, if you dare to attack the righteous army, I will start a crusade against the heavenly army!" It's just a party item, and I can't withstand my thunderous wrath! ”

Ye Hua immediately nodded, calmed the party item, and the next step was to select the right candidate to go to the Western Regions.

"I'll go!"

Chen Shi walked in from the outside, he still had a strong murderous aura on his body, and after he came in, he first saluted Chai Rong, and then said: "The minister just went to the Persian guild hall, and broke the legs of several Persians who imprisoned his uncle, and hung them on the flagpole to show the public!" ”

Chen Shi, this kid is ruthless enough, he dares to bully the Han people in the Western Regions, and he dares to arrest my uncle as a slave, grandma, Lao Tzu's mother's family is such a relative, and he almost died in your hands.

If you don't give some color, I won't be surnamed Chen!

He broke the limbs of several Persian merchants, and before he could do so, he kicked off the other leg and hung it on a bamboo pole.

Although people are not dead, they are definitely worse than death, and they are howling miserably, like dried chickens, waiting for death to come.

Chai Rong didn't blame Chen Shi at all, on the contrary, he didn't feel ruthless enough!

"I treat visitors from all over the world with a heart of forgiveness and benevolence, I don't think that the big cannibals will have to gain an inch, trying to get involved in the Western Regions, if the Western Regions fall into their hands, do you want to continue to advance eastward, capture Longyou, seize Chang'an, do you want to take Kaifeng away!"

Chai Rong exclaimed angrily: "It's not that I have the intention to fight, it's that they bullied my people and have to fight!" ”

"Chen Shi!"

"The minister is here!"

"Okay, I will now appoint me as the envoy of the Liangzhou Festival, the protector of the Western Regions, the commander of a thousand elites, and immediately march into the Western Regions, as a vanguard, do you have the guts!"

"Absolutely!" Chen Shi said sharply: "When the minister's uncle left Beijing, he was just a scholar, he was born and died in 20 years, and he still dared to fight against the enemy, and the minister was a seven-foot man, what would he not dare!" ”

Chai Rong was quite satisfied, and immediately issued an edict to let Chen Shi form an advance army in the Western Regions.

After determining the strategy for the next step, Chai Rong issued another decree that three days later, a ceremony to welcome the heroes would be held.

The reason why he stayed for three days was so that Sang Yun could recuperate well and recover his body.

In the past three days, Sang Yun has been in the school, and two teenagers always come to take care of him.

At first, Sang Yun thought that they were ordinary scholars, and asked them what books they were reading and when they were going to take the imperial examination, but the two teenagers just smiled, but others couldn't help it, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Shang, where do they need the exam!

And it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who saved you outside the Ministry of Rites in the first place, otherwise you would have been eaten by wild dogs.

Sang Yun suddenly realized that the prince and the king of Shang were actually studying in such a simple school, and they were no different from ordinary students in terms of clothing.

For this alone, he dared to say that the Great Zhou was extraordinary, far better than the Liang, Tang, and Jin dynasties in front!

Three days went by in a flash.

Sang Yun has recovered a lot under careful conditioning and has been able to sit up straight.

The people below brought him a brand new red robe, and after putting it on, he looked new. Sang Yun suddenly remembered something, and he hurriedly called his subordinates and asked them to find the old clothes.

The gang was puzzled, but they still followed the instructions and found the tattered clothes, Sang Yun ignored the stench, rummaged in it for a long time, and finally pulled out two pieces of bamboo in the corner of the clothes, which together were less than a foot long.

But it was these two bamboo knots that made Sang Yun ecstatic!

This is the envoy given by the Jin Emperor that year, he is holding the envoy, like Su Wu, to envoy the foreign domain, twenty years, the decorations of the envoy are rotten, only two bamboo sections are still there.

He hurriedly had people tied together and held tightly in his hands!

The drums were playing, Sang Yun sat on the car of the imperial gift, he tried to straighten his back, lifted the envoy high, and entered Kaifeng from outside the Nanxun Gate.

On both sides of the road, there were crowds of people, and some elderly people had also come out of their homes.

The eleven states of Qin ordered to observe the envoy Sang!

A big flag, fluttering in the wind.

An old man rubbed his eyes, thought about it for a long time, and suddenly exclaimed.

"It's back!"

"Why did he come back?"

Some people hurriedly asked what was going on. The old man recounted that twenty years ago, the Western Regions brought many treasures to Khotan, including white yaks, white camels, agate, Hetian jade, and Ruyi...... A lot of boxes were turned, all of which were dedicated to the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty.

At that time, the Son of Heaven feasted on the mission, and at the same time sent a delegation to pay a return visit, because Khotan believed in Buddhism, and more than 100 monks alone went there.

Leave the capital.

Especially the prime minister's son, who is not afraid of difficulties, personally goes on an envoy, and it is even rumored to be a good story!

Is he Sang Gongzi?

How did you become a little old man?

If nothing else, there are many scars on the face alone...... How much has he suffered over the years, and how has he survived? The old man shook his head, and anyway, he was back!

"Good man!"

"Amazing!"

"I didn't disgrace your father!"

……

All kinds of praises, one after another, Sang Yun's face turned purple, and tears couldn't stop flowing...... He had already heard that because of the cession of Yanyun, his father became a traitor in everyone's mouth, and Guo Wei's ascension to the throne was based on the slogan of restoring the rivers and mountains of the Han family.

Over the years, my father has endured countless infamy, the Sang family died, and he escaped, even if he was lucky to live, he changed his name and changed his gender, and he didn't dare to call himself a descendant of Sang Weihan......

Back then, my father said that betraying Yanyun would sooner or later fall into infamy, and he spared no effort in order to recover Yanyun, and even sent his son to Khotan, but unfortunately he failed.

Yan Yun was brought back by Guo Qi'er, and the world has become the country of the Great Zhou!

No matter how it changes, the Western Regions are the land of the Han family, and they can never be lost!

"Recover the Western Regions! Rescue Hermes-Epitek! ”

Sang Yun couldn't help but shout loudly.

Immediately, the people shouted together.

In recent years, newspapers have developed rapidly, and the longest appearance in newspapers is the map of the Great Zhou, and many scholars are also like keyboard warriors in later generations, pointing out the country and listing a number of lands that must be taken back, and the Western Regions has always been at the top of the list!

Since ancient times, the great enemies of the Han family have all come from the northern grasslands.

The line of the Great Wall is the dividing line between nomadism and farming.

And the Western Regions is a key bargaining chip in the competition between nomadism and farming. As long as the Western Regions fell into the hands of the Han family, the Central Plains would have enough strategic depth and a source of war horses, enough to arm powerful cavalry, completely crush the grassland tribes, and force them to harm the West.

But if the Western Regions are lost, there will be no initiative in the war, and the two Song Dynasty will be beaten passively, which is a natural outcome.

Therefore, the importance of the Western Regions is well known.

"The imperial court is finally going to send troops to the Western Regions!"

On the teahouse on the side of the street, Liu Kai waved his fist excitedly, very proud.

"Brother Liu, you are just a literati, what is there to be excited about."

Fan Gao said very politely: "I advise you to think about whether you can pass this year's imperial examination, if it is like the last time, it will be a pity." ”

Liu Kai was so angry that his brows stood up, "Don't talk cool there, if Lao Tzu doesn't have a stomachache, why did you get into the Sanding Jia?" Will only pick up cheap, what is there to show off! ”

Fan Gao chuckled and said, "Then I want to see how Brother Liu shows his skills this year and comes to the Toad Palace to win the crown!" ”

Liu Kai laughed loudly, "Imperial examination? That's the girl's test, a dignified husband, he should carry a three-foot sword and make contributions on the field. Let me tell you, in the past few years, I have been reading military books and practicing martial arts, and this time General Chen led the army westward, I want to go with him! ”

Liu Kai raised the teacup, drank it dry, laughed and went down from the teahouse, and read aloud as he walked: "Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming." Silver Saddle ......"

Fan Gao couldn't help but be angry, this kid is really bold and heroic!

This is to learn from Li Taibai to serve the country with a sword!

Their Liu family, a thousand-year-old family, Yunwen and Yunwu, is not like the Fan family, who are just out of school.

"Brother Liu, don't worry, I will go all out to supply military supplies, I wish you a victory, and kill the enemy before the battle and make meritorious contributions!"

……

Liu Kai went to the barracks to sign up with great ambition.

When he arrived, he realized that something was wrong.

Well, why are there so many people?

The black pressing, as far as the eye can see, all come to join the army?

Just looking at the number of people, at least one or two thousand.

This is not good, the advance army is only 1,000 people, if you brag about it and fail to join it, it will be a shame.

"I'm sorry, brother, please let me go, I'll go first!"

Where are the people in front of him willing to take care of him?

Liu Kai was angry, "I'm from the Liu family in Hedong, don't get out of the way yet!" ”

He signed up. The person in front looked back at him, pinched the corner of his eye and said very politely: "I am from the Zhao family in Yingzhou, my eldest brother's name is Zhao Kuangyin, my second brother's name is Zhao Kuangyi, and my name is Zhao Kuangmei, how is it?" ”

Not how!

Liu Kai was also frightened, although the Liu family in Hedong is a famous family, but in terms of power, how can it be compared with the Zhao brothers!

"That...... Do you want to queue up too? ”

Zhao Kuangmei shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly: "What can I do, General Chen is still my master, a very talkative person, who knew that this time it would be so axial!" No back door at all. Zhao Kuangmei said: "But don't worry too much, this time I went to the Western Regions, not only to fight, but also to have special talents, I am full of confidence!" ”

Before he finished speaking, he found a tall and handsome young man in the crowd, snorted at him, and then turned his head over, too lazy to look!

It's Gao Huailiang!

The younger brother of the White Horse Silver Spear General!

Look over there again, Murong Defeng, Murong Deye, Murong Dejun...... Obediently, even the people of the Murong family are here!

Liu Kai didn't dare to be rampant anymore, this trip to the Western Regions is not to play in the mountains and rivers, but to play with his life! These big families are too desperate, how can they be willing to let all their children go out?

Zhao Kuangmei smiled: "What? You still don't know? The crown prince had been asking the sage for three days that he would personally go to the Western Regions to visit the Han people who were still fighting there...... Your Highness can spare your life, what dare we people dare! ”
