Chapter 452: Taking the City

Shazhou, this is the name of the Tang Dynasty, but we should be more familiar with his other name, Dun. Bright. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info This is a city with very rich cultural resources, it is located on the Silk Road, and the characteristics of convenient transportation allow his culture to integrate Chinese and Western cultures.

Because of the good real estate here, it was called Guazhou in the spring and autumn, of course, this range is very large. Honest. The title of Huang was first seen in Zhang Jiantong's Western Regions and was written to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. During the Warring States Period, the Dayue clan was expelled from the former residence by the Huns and moved here, after which the Dayue clan was driven away and the Xiongnu occupied here. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu and set up four counties here. The name of Huang is confirmed.

Dunhuang, to the descendants to get gifts, the most enlightened is the murals in the grottoes, although it has experienced some twists and turns, during the Republic of China, the people who stayed here to get the Tao, actually put the precious cultural relics, stole and sold to foreigners. Fortunately, there are still some left, and there are murals for future generations to admire. Otherwise, why not choose Dunhuang somewhere else?

Because, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were a large number of scholars who fled here, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the corpses of the Han people in the Northern Dynasties were all over the field, and they were treated as two-legged sheep, and a large number of nobles crossed east with the Jin Dynasty, and only some big families were left in the north to support them.

However, in such a desert, there is a pearl of Liangzhou, fortunately, a few people who occupy the political power here, did not kill the Han people here, so that the Han culture here can be preserved, and it will be passed on, otherwise after the Sui and Tang dynasties, I don't know what culture to preserve, there are many Han Dynasty etiquette and classics preserved here, more than those struggling families in the north.

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, many nobles of the Southern Dynasty were relocated here, which greatly enriched the culture here, and only then did it have the future Dedun. Huang, now, this pearl has fallen into the hands of the Tubo people, and for more than 40 years, it is time to return to his original country.

In the night, the Tibetan guards finally managed to break out of the encirclement, and there were especially palpitations. Are these Dons crazy? Although they are all young and strong, they are actually ordinary people, with weapons in their hands, no different from children holding slingshots in their hands.

But they are not afraid of death, obviously the weapons are not as good as his personal guards, but they all dare to fight and dare to rush, and they also give him soap It has become a big loss, but, it doesn't matter, everything is over, although he doesn't know the situation in the camp, but he believes that the brave and good fighting Tubo soldiers will not lose to such a group of people.

All he had to do was rush into the barracks, put them in order, and with a little respite, he could put this riot down, hum... When the time comes, he must let these Tang people know whose territory is on this sandbar.

However, he thought so beautifully, when he was patrolling the chessboard, neatly planned, and wanted to follow the main road to the barracks, he had not walked long before he found that the road was blocked, and a big tree, a big tree that I don't know where it had been cut, and some bricks and stones, blocked the intersection, and he felt a bad feeling, and was about to give the order to change the way. Then there was a burst of laughter, and Lang Lang rang out, 'Why did the general come so late, Zhang has been waiting for a long time.' ’

It's you. The Tubo general gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Zhang Yichao, all this is your command?", he recognized this person, and he was very jealous, among the local clans, he was most afraid of the Zhang family, especially this person.

He has heard many people say that this person has great ambitions, and is different from some families who can get by and get by, since he was a child, he has been talking about swords, and he has learned martial arts, and his family and Zhang family have practiced martial arts very hard. If it weren't for the fear of several families in the sandbank, he would have sent troops to destroy the Zhang family a long time ago.

'I should have killed you in the first place. The Tibetan general gritted his teeth and said, "However, it is not too late. This is where we Tubo people win the world. After saying that, he was about to lead his troops to find his way to the barracks, "General, it's too late." A red lantern hung high.

Immediately, on both sides of the road, there were a lot of rebels, and the people in the front row took the lead with shields, blocking several roads around him, and he turned his head to see that even the way he came was cut off, 'That's it?' Even you dead people want to stop me? ’

And so. The second red light dragon was hung up, and a considerable number of archers poured out of the surrounding houses, "Your city guards the mansion, and it is difficult to defend it, so I am waiting for you to come out." At that moment, he didn't answer, and the strong bow and crossbow **** came out, those people didn't come to kill him at all, but just blocked his way, and really killed these ambushes in the world.

'Without Envoy Lu, he will avenge me. This is the last sentence left in the world by this Tibetan warrior, although it is a Tibetan dialect, but everyone can understand it.

Zhang Yichao sneered, of course he was very jealous of Lu Zanxin, it was Shang Wanwen, this person was brave and calm, quite strategic, if it wasn't for the defeat of the previous battle with the fear of heat, he would rather continue to wait for the opportunity. However, now he is unable to protect himself, and he is not based here, so he is not afraid.

When the day dawned, the city, which had been noisy all night, was more calm, and the people saw that the situation was calm, and a few boldly walked out of Gamen, and after finding that there was nothing to do, everyone went out to inquire about the situation yesterday. Zhang Yichao dealt with those Tubo soldiers, while sending people to issue an announcement to appease the people, when they heard that the Tubo people were expelled, the sandbar returned to the arms of the Tang Dynasty, everyone was happy, some people went home to find the dusty Tang clothes for a long time, and they changed into them, they looked forward to this day for too long, and their joy and joy would not lose to the people in front of Yanxi.

'Master, we succeeded. Zhang Yichao called Shen'er a young man, and rushed to his father's side excitedly, he was Zhang Yichao's son, Zhang Huaishen, "Now, do we want to try to get on the table and contact the imperial court." Let the court give the lord an official title, so that there must be a party to make a festival. The so-called name is not right, the words are not good, this sandbar fell into Tibet for 40 years, the lord played a meritorious work in one fell swoop, expelled Tibet, this recovery of the lost land is not a small achievement. ’

Don't be careless, this time we just took advantage of the unpreparedness of Tibet to achieve a small victory, and the surrounding Tibetan forces are still very strong, so don't ignore them. Although he won, Zhang Yichao was not as optimistic as his son, and at this time, a person also came over.

'Big brother, how about the casualties, the morale of the soldiers is okay. This person is Zhang Yichao's brother, Zhang Yitan, although he is the elder brother, he has always admired his younger brother, and everything is headed by him.

'The damage wasn't light, but the morale was good. The visitor said, "We have not yet won the victory, so we will immediately repair the city defenses, and the Tibetans will surely make a comeback." ’

'Didn't they all win?' Zhang Huaishen was a little unhappy, he was trying to celebrate, he was looking for Ming Zhen and Suo Xun to celebrate.

'Now that the big thing has not been accomplished, my father is entrusted by the fathers of a city, you don't think about worrying about it, you just want to drink and have fun. A female voice sounded from behind Zhang Huaishen, and I saw a tall woman walking over.

Willow eyebrows, a pair of phoenix eyes are not angry and self-threatening, wearing armor, acting like the wind, under the sun, the armor shines brightly, and there are purple-black spots on it, which are dry bloodstains.

'Father. The Tibetan captives were settled. ''Yuan'er has worked hard for you. ''Share your father's worries and don't suffer.'' Zhang Huaiyuan crossed his hands and said, "Father, do we want to ask for help like Chang'an?" Although there is a small setback this time, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not make a comeback. In the same sentence, the two people mean very different things.

I have this intention, but the road ahead is dangerous, I plan to send ten people and horses, from several directions, Shefa to contact Chang'an, if you can get Chang'an to send troops to help, this Hehuang area, all the cities can be recovered. The common people can be exempted from the exploitation of Tibet. ’

'Father, daughter, please. The sandbar is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, and there are Tubo people all along the way, otherwise it is some foreign races to gain territory, and there is a long desert, in which the danger is self-evident, Zhang Yichao took into account the danger, and decided to send ten people to try to contact Chang'an. As a result, Zhang Huaiyuan did not feel scared at all, but took the initiative to ask for help.

'Nonsense. Zhang Yichao's face sank, "The road is dangerous on the way, and your daughter's family is going to make my father worry about death?" I didn't let you go into battle yesterday, you actually secretly knocked Ming Zhen unconscious and wore his armor, I haven't taught you a lesson. ’

Zhang Huaiyuan spit out the small ****, "Mingzhen is okay, I don't have a heavy time." "Hmph, what do you say, I don't know how serious it is, and if you beat you stupidly, you will marry a stupid husband in the future." "Don't want to, I won't marry Ming Zhen, master." So saying, he ran away.

Looking at her back, Zhang Yichao sighed, "This old fourteenth, how good it would be if it were a man." "Yes, this temperament is very similar to your second brother. Zhang Yitan had been watching the play on the side, and nodded when he heard the words, "Or it would be good for him to change personalities with Shen'er." ’

Speaking of his son Zhang Huaishen, Zhang Yichao sighed heavily, it is difficult for the family to read the capital, and the hero is like him, and he can't do anything about it, "It's so old, this sex is still like a child, tell him to stay away from Suo Xun, he doesn't listen." Zhang Huaishen, as early as after his sister came, sneaked away, he was afraid of this sister, he was terribly afraid. Although he was more than ten years older than her, seeing her was like a cat and a mouse.

'Sohoon, I don't like him. Hearing Zhang Yichao say this, Zhang Yitan also frowned, "This person has a little talent, but he is ambitious, it is best to let Shen'er stay away from him." The military situation was like fire, the two brothers chatted for a while, Zhang Yitan went to get busy, and Zhang Yichao also went to arrange the armament.

After more than ten days, it was still outside the city of Shazhou, and at this moment the sandbar no longer had the joyful atmosphere of breaking away from Tibet, and the war clouds were thick. The nearby prefectures and counties controlled by the Tibetans reacted, and the Tibetans from several prefectures and counties gathered together and gathered together an army of 15,000 to surround a sandbar.

How many people must be there? Zhang Huaishen looked frightened, "It is estimated that there will be no less than forty or fifty thousand people." "Just Tubo, go and gather 40,000 or 50,000 people, then you have to Tubo to raise the power of the whole country." ’。 Zhang Huaiyuan was quite disdainful, "Those flags are all bluffs, but they are too bluffed, and they can only bluff fools." ’

Zhang Huaishen didn't dare to say anything, looking at his father on the side, Zhang Yichao said, "Yuan'er is right, it's a lot of 20,000 people, this is the number of people that can be summoned by nearby states and counties, but I estimate that there are only about 15,000 people present." ’

'Although there are only about 15,000 people, it is already several times the strength of my sandbank, can Zhang Shibo have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy? A young man next to him said, with a round chin and relatively separated eyes, giving people a feeling of gentleness but cheerfulness.

'Ming Zhen, why do we need any good strategy to retreat from the enemy, we only need to gather the people to defend the city, and wait for the Tubo people to be exhausted, and then counterattack, and we can easily win a big victory. Next to him, there was another one who was about the same age, but a face was narrow and wide at the bottom, and when you looked closely, it looked like an inverted triangular face, with sparse eyebrows and a hooked nose, which at first glance was really uncomfortable.

That's not what I said, Soxun. Fighting with the Tibetan manpower, the casualties will definitely be heavy. The fathers and elders in the city have high hopes for us, and their sons and daughters are also my soldiers on Shazhou, so what are the losses, and how to explain to their parents. ’

'If you don't fight hard, don't you want these Tubo people to wipe their necks by themselves?', Suo Xun said disdainfully, "The benevolence of a woman, if you want to break away from the Tubo people, how can you not sacrifice." ’

On the city wall, the two argued, and the others did not speak, but they all frowned and looked at the dense Tubo soldiers outside the city. On the one hand, these two people are both representatives of the wang clan in the city, the Suo family and the Li family, both of whom are prosperous clans in the city, and on the other hand, they are not in the mood and are frightened by this situation.

As the saying goes, the number of people is tens of thousands, boundless, although the Tubo people, but ten thousand, but also make the Shazhou people fearful. It is not that they did not think that the Tibetans were not willing to accept the loss of the sandbank, and would gather troops and horses with the intention of retaking it. So I picked a very good opportunity, the Tibetan talent had a big war, and the more eloquent Shanzhou Jiedu made the army defeated and expelled, taking away most of the people, at this time, the resistance should be relatively small.

But I didn't expect that this Tubo stayed, Tuoba Huaiguang, so bold, 15,000 people, almost drained the last Tubo troops left in the Hehuang area, which is equivalent to giving up the other cities.

'Huh. At this time, Zhang Yichao also laughed silently. 'Why, are you all scared?' Don't speak? The two juniors still want to fight hard, and you are all silent? Glancing around at everyone, Zhang Yi sneered, "Tubo people, this is a good time." ’

'Father, what do you say?' Zhang Huaiyuan asked, 'Can it be bad?' Tuoba Huaiguang gathered so many troops, saving us from pursuing everywhere. Zhang Yichaoyun said lightly, "Once under the Shazhou City, the Tubo people were defeated, and this land of rivers and rivers was like searching for things." ’

'Father has a good plan to retreat from the enemy?' Zhang Huaishen was overjoyed, his father said how domineering he was, and he regarded the thousands of Tibetan people outside the city as if there was nothing, and it seemed that his father had a good plan to break the enemy.

Now, so, so, so, so. Zhang Chaoyi didn't sell much guanzi, and began to command everyone at the moment.

And at this time, the left army of Shence was also holding a meeting, 'Send troops.' Xiaohu clapped, "This matter must not sit idly by." Gao Biao on the side, deeply dissatisfied with this decision, frowned, and wanted to admonish Xiaohu again. Unfortunately, it was useless, and the audience was in favor of this suicidal move.
