Suzhou fell into Yang Hao's hands so quickly. The big sandbar returned to the rebel army unexpectedly.

When Yang Hao conquered Liangzhou without a fight, the Shazhou Guiyi Army still held a wait-and-see attitude, although when Yang Hao besieged Ganzhou, Shazhou had begun to make various preparations for war, but in fact it was still not very nervous, because the Xiazhou army had been aggressive all the way to the west before, but every time their military operations finally stopped in Ganzhou.

First, it is because the Ganzhou Hui have a strong army, can fight well, and are the most powerful among the forces in the Hexi Corridor; Second, because from Xiazhou to the west, the road between each state capital is very far away, the more west, the longer the battle line, the more problematic the transportation and supply of grain and grass, so the Xiazhou army marched all the way west, even if no one can face the enemy head-on, as long as the Xiazhou army goes deep into the desert and sends a small force to disturb along the way and cut off its grain route, it is enough to make the Xiazhou army return in vain.

However, this time Yang Hao's style of play was completely different from the traditional style of play of the Xiazhou Dingyan Army. He first took Liangzhou by peaceful means, and then used Liangzhou as a springboard to trap Ganzhou, after Ganzhou was surrounded, Yang Hao surrounded but did not fight, and highlighted the strange soldiers to take Suzhou, when attacking Suzhou, and cut off all contacts between Suzhou and Liangzhou in advance, until the fourth day of Yang Hao's soldiers trapped in Suzhou, the Shazhou Guiyi Army made Cao Yangong know that Yang Hao's army had arrived under the city of Suzhou, and successively sent several groups of probes and horses without reply, and waited until the last group of probes successfully found the news, but the result was that Suzhou had changed hands.

Yang Hao's general style of playing checkers made Cao Yangong very nervous, although the sandbar was still behind Guazhou, but Yang Hao could skip Ganzhou and take Suzhou first, so skipping Guazhou and taking the sandbar first may not be repeated, so Guasha and Guasha both gathered heavy troops and waited for battle.

At the head of Guazhou City, Cao Yangong was personally going here to inspect the three armies. Banner hunting, the soldiers of the Guiyi Army stood neatly at the head of the city, rolling wood and stones, bows, boxes, arrows and crossbows were complete, and the morale seemed to be very full and vigorous, Cao Yangong was very happy, and after some gesture and agitation, he returned to the inner city with the defender of Guazhou and his nephew Cao Zitao to listen to his detailed deployment of Guazhou.

The flag waved. The three armies were disbanded, and the majestic momentum of Fang Cai suddenly disappeared, and a veteran soldier and a young soldier who looked very immature carried two boxes of arrows without any care, ready to move back to the armory.

Xiao Bing looked out of the city and muttered, "Second Uncle Qi, what do you say...... Can General Yang really hit our Guazhou City? ”

The veteran snorted lazily, "God knows, but ...... Didn't he copy the Dragon King's Mansion now? Do you think he's willing to stop there? In my opinion, he will come. ”

Xiao Bing licked his lips and said, "Second Uncle Qi, if General Yang really fights, will we really fight him?" ”

The veteran said: "Eat military rations and get military salaries, what we are doing is this murderous business, why don't you fight when you are ordered from above?" ”

The little soldier said: "Alas, why not? General Yang is also our Han people, we live in Guasha, and there are Yanqi people, Hui people, Tubo people, and Dangxiang Qiang people in the middle, but I haven't seen hometown characters for many years. Now, the power of our Guiyi Army is getting smaller and smaller, and the festival makes the adults have to call the Hui people in Ganzhou a father Khan, shame.

Listen to what General Yang has to say. 'The ancient road is like a dragon, and it has been tragically broken. The desert wind is Xiao, Dunhuang leaves the sect, outside the Yumen Pass, the carriages and horses wither ......, I would like to be sincere, announce the world, Yang Hao is angry, Zhi'an Sheji. Now seeing the withering of Hexi, I feel the responsibility of a body, lead the dignified teacher, stop the thief and the people, reopen the ancient road, and make peace with things, this great benevolence and righteousness are also. Where the flag goes, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die...... 'Second uncle, I feel hot in my heart when I listen.' ”

"Shut up, woe comes from your mouth, you know?"

The veteran lectured him, and glanced forward worriedly, the two of them had just walked down the stone steps with their arrow boxes, and were almost at the armory.

Xiao Bing snorted dissatisfiedly and muttered: "In the past, how majestic our Guiyi Army was, whether it was the Tuyuhun people, the Turkic people, the Hui people, or the Tubo people, who did you put in your eyes?" Now, we are guarding such a big place, and we want to use women to marry Khotan and Hui Hui. In order to maintain the existence of our Guiyi Army, think about the majesty of our Guiyi Army back then, alas! ”

The veteran was silent, and when he was about to walk to the armory, he muttered: "Stop the thief and the people, and reopen the ancient road!" Where the banner goes, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die, General Yang really said that......? ”

"Hmm!"

The veteran's eyes lit up, and he said slowly: "Actually...... When Lord Zhang Yi Cháo, the general of the Guiyi Army, was here, he was also so majestic......"

The inner city of Guazhou, the defense embassy.

The maid brought tea and withdrew.

Cao Zitao leaned forward and said to Cao Yangong: "Uncle, Yang Hao is menacing, Ganzhou is such a powerful force, and he can only defend himself according to the city and dare not fight, and now that Suzhou is lost, in this way, Yang Hao can take Suzhou as the foundation, in terms of grain and grass and soldier rest, there is no longer a long way to go, in this case." If he really hits my Guazhou City, it will be very worrying. ”

Cao Yangong said anxiously: "Zitao, why doesn't my uncle understand this truth? What is particularly worrying is that the attitude of the Buddhist community is ambiguous, there are too many Buddhist disciples in Guasha Erzhou, under their influence, many people do not object to Yang Hao's arrival on the surface, but secretly welcome it, what a fucking ......"

Cao Yangong is in front of his nephew, so naturally he doesn't need any cover-up, speaking of which. He stood up worriedly.

When Zhang Yi Cháo raised an army against Tibet, the Buddhist community in the Western Regions had given him great help, so after the Guiyi Army established the Jinshan State, it became a country that worshiped Buddhism, although the Jinshan Kingdom believed in Chinese Mahayana Buddhism, and Tantric Buddhism was politically and reliantly, or the situation of the profound influence on the regime was different, they did not interfere in the rule of the local regime, but the popularization of Buddhism made a large number of Buddhist disciples from all walks of life, these temple masters, masters, and Taoist monks have outstanding prestige, Their attitudes naturally have a considerable impact on Buddhists.

Yang Hao not only respects the Buddha and worships the Buddha, and makes Luzhou a Buddhist holy land, and itself also has a Gangjin Gongbao, the name of the protector of the Dharma King, from his translation, advocacy of the Buddhist scriptures, he is not only Tantra, Mahayana Buddhism, Hinayana Buddhism are very respectful and protective, now the power of the two continents of Guasha is extremely shrinking, so the influence of Mahayana Buddhism in the Western Regions is getting smaller and smaller, this is not the result of the competition between the disciples of the Buddhist Sutra to the Tantric disciples, but due to the shrinking of political power, so the Shazhou Buddhist community believes that If the state capitals of the Hexi Corridor can be unified, they will not be suppressed, and they can carry forward, in this case, their attitude towards Yang Hao's arrival can be imagined.

Cao Zitao said: "It's not just the Buddhist community that has an ambiguous attitude, uncle, I just received the news, and I haven't had time to report it to my uncle." ”

Cao Yangong said: "What worse news could there be? ”

Cao Zitao showed a bitter smile on his face: "Uncle, I was recruited by Yang Hao without a trace on the Great Confucian Road of Shazhou, and now I ...... He has been appointed as the governor of Suzhou and has taken office. ”

Cao Yangong's face changed suddenly, and he lost his voice: "Lu Wuxian has become the governor of Suzhou?" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"What is Cao Yangong doing now?"

The dog chuckled playfully: "After hearing that the uncle took Suzhou, Cao Yangong was very nervous, and hurried to Guazhou to arrange the defense in person. Uncle delayed attacking. On the contrary, Cao Yangong could not sleep and eat, he climbed the head of Guazhou City every day, looking at the east, more persistent than a lady who was looking forward to the return of her husband who was traveling far away. ”

Yang Hao was amused and laughed: "You girl, you have been mingling with the ghost of Zhuyun all day long, and you have learned to say witty things." ”

He groaned slightly: "Well, Cao Yangong is indeed in a hurry, there are two of his foreign aids. The Khan of Ganzhou is now too busy to take care of himself, and he can't count on it; Li Shengtian, the king of Khotan, was busy fighting the Qarakhanid dynasty that was fighting Islamic jihad, and it was impossible to send troops to rescue him at this time; Guazhou is not monolithic, and the Buddhist community has no common hatred for him; The low-level soldiers of the Guiyi Army have a sense of arrogance at me all the way to the west, defeated in Tibet and trapped back to Hubei, and I feel that my fellow Han people are proud of each other, how can Cao Yangong not be in a hurry? ”

Gou'er said: "It's not all, after Lu Zhizhou took office, Cao Yangong became even more uneasy, Lord Lu is a great Confucian in the Western Regions, and he has outstanding prestige in the Western Regions, he has seven hundred disciples in the Western Regions, which of these seven hundred disciples does not have a little family background?" Hearing that Lord Lu had become the prefect of Suzhou, Cao Yangong drove all the people he thought were close to Lord Lu and not very reliable, or they were dismissed from their posts in the military and political circles. ”

Yang Hao smiled proudly: "It is a big taboo to change generals in battle, but it is even more taboo to replace so many civil and military officials at once." Which of these people has no cronies? Which one doesn't have three relatives and six friends? Cao Yangong didn't do this, he didn't worry, he did it, but the two states of Guasha were even more turbulent, and people's hearts were moved. Leave him alone and let him mess up again. You have to keep abreast of the news over there and report it to me. ”

"Yes, uncle, then I'll go down first." The dog covered his mouth and yawned heavily.

Yang Hao slapped his forehead and said, "Ah, I forgot, you usually sleep during the day, and at night, you still pull you to say so much, go and take a rest." ”

The dog grimaced at him and said: "No, since I learned art with the master, the dog can sleep while standing, walk, and ride a horse. ”

Yang Hao scratched her nose and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, uncle knows that you are capable, go and take a rest." These days, the uncle will stay in Suzhou City, don't worry about safety, you just help the uncle pay attention to the movement over there. ”

The dog answered, and then turned around and ran out.

Yang Hao sighed, and just sat down in his seat, Mu Yu also walked in and said in a low voice: "My lord, that person...... It's already here. ”

Yang Hao shook his head, and hurriedly got up and said, "Bring him in from the corner gate, please enter the flower hall of the back house, and I will be there soon." ”

"Yes!" Mu Yu flashed and slipped out again.

Yang Hao tidied up a little, then walked out of the study and went to the back house.

Today, Yang Hao has established the Anxi Army in Suzhou, and has served as the envoy of the Anxi Army. At the same time, he appointed Zhang Pu as the deputy envoy of the Anxi Army, and implemented the separation of military and government, and ordered people to quickly transfer Shazhou Daru Lu Wuxian from Xiazhou to serve as the first governor of Suzhou.

Lu Wuxian took office in a high-profile manner, and helped Yang Hao complete a major event without blood: Cao Yangong began to mess with himself.

"Brother Zhang's trip is confidential, and Ben Shuai is in and out, and his behavior will inevitably be noticed, so he will not personally send Brother Zhang away." Yang Hao got up and smiled at the mysterious guest surnamed Zhang.

"Taiwei Yang is too polite, Taiwei is busy with government affairs, Zhang will not bother, rush back to Shazhou now, and I must inform my father of Taiwei's intentions." The scribe surnamed Zhang stood up and returned the salute with a smile on his face. This person is about thirty years old, with a white face and a slight beard, and he is a talent, but in front of Yang Hao, he has a deliberate smile on his face, and he feels a little scared.

"Hexi has fallen 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! General, General Zhang Yi cháo is also. Today, the commander of the army marched westward, not adhering to the will of General Zhang. If this matter is successful, it will benefit millions of Han people in the Western Regions, benefit the present generation, and make contributions for the future. In the past, General Zhang Yi cháo waved his arms and responded in groups, and the Western Regions returned to the hands of the Han family, which is an immortal achievement. Today, I hope that Mr. Zhang can cheer up the ancestors and raise the banner of righteousness, then Yang Hao will be grateful, millions of Han people in the Western Regions will be grateful, and General Zhang Yi will also smile at Jiuquan. ”

The scribe surnamed Zhang listened to him chant the poems praising his ancestors, mentioning the names of his ancestors, he couldn't help but straighten his waist, and his face showed a proud look, he listened to Yang Hao's words, hugged his fist to him, and said excitedly: "Taiwei rest assured, this time back to the sandbank, Zhang will do his best to live up to his mission." ”

Yang Hao also said solemnly: "Yang first wishes Brother Zhang a victory and success!" Mu Yu, send Mr. Zhang for me, and ask Ai Yihai to personally escort Mr. Zhang and return to the sandbank safely. ”

The literati surnamed Zhang hugged him again, and hurried away with Mu Yu.

He is a descendant of Zhang Yi Cháo, when Zhang Chengfeng was called king, Cao Rengui, the chief secretary of Dunhuang and the secretary of the Jinshan State Bureau, claimed to be the envoy of the Guiyi Army, established the dominance of the Cao family in Dunhuang, and ruled Dunhuang together with Zhang Chengfeng. Since then, Zhang Yicháo's descendants have only been the titular King of Jinshan, while Cao Rengui is the de facto King of Jinshan.

Since then, the Cao family's power has expanded and stabilized step by step, until it has gone from being empty to replacing the descendants of the Zhang family and becoming the real helmsman of the Jinshan Kingdom, both nominally and in fact, while the descendants of the Zhang family have gradually degenerated into a big family outside the core of Shazhou's power. However, after all, the Zhang family was the founder of the Guiyi Army, and despite the loss of actual power, the Zhang family was still the leader of the Guiyi Army.

In normal times, it is difficult for the Zhang family to have any influence on the Shazhou Guiyi Army, but this does not include special periods. For example: Shazhou internal and external troubles, people's hearts are unstable, the Cao family can not bring peace and hope to Shazhou, on the contrary, it will bring destruction and death, the powerful and wealthy family needs a new spokesperson, this person has to be qualified to fight with the Cao family.

The Guiyi Army defended Guasha Erzhou, although there was no need to be involved in any national righteousness, it was just the reason why the Cao regime safeguarded the interests of the family, but objectively, they played a role in passing on the Han culture in the Western Regions and always allowing the Han people to maintain a certain influence in the Western Regions, so if it was not a last resort, Yang Hao did not want to meet with the Guiyi Army and kill you to the death.

He first shocked Guasha Erzhou with his powerful military might, aroused the resonance of the soldiers of the Guiyi Army with national righteousness, influenced the Shilin officialdom of Guasha Erzhou without a trace, and influenced countless Shazhou Buddhist believers through religious forces, and finally launched a descendant of Zhang Yi Cháo with pure blood and brilliant image to them, so that Zhang Jia waved his arms, pointing directly to General Yang Hao is the hope of Shazhou, the future of Shazhou, and the ...... of the Rising Star in the East of Shazhou, if this cannot shake Cao Yangong's rule, The two states of Guasha will not be like this now, and they will not be like they are now.

Sending off the scribe surnamed Zhang, Yang Hao returned to the study, looked at the mountains of various official documents in front of him, pinched his eyebrows slightly, picked up a copy and unfolded it.

After Lu Wuxian arrived in Suzhou, the heavy responsibility on Yang Hao's shoulders was lightened a lot. Lu Wuxian is a great Confucian in the Western Regions, in such a difficult environment to accept apprentices, pass on education, so that Lu Wuxian has become a very practical, also very good at changing the ability of the person, he is not only talented, but also a cadre, there is no Central Plains some erudite Confucianism stinky problems.

After Yang Hao won Suzhou, the military, government, economy, and all aspects had to establish new rules, implement new systems, and appoint a large number of officials. The Suzhou Long family has fallen, and the wealthy families in Suzhou also need to climb this new big tree, so there are many wealthy families in each rì who come to visit with precious gifts and make friends with him.

Yang Hao couldn't snub these people, every time he took up most of his time just by taking up the matter of greeting and greeting, after Lu Wuxian arrived, Yang Hao was completely relieved. Lu Wuxian knows the wealthy families here very well, and he is even more long-sleeved and good at dancing, with him taking over these things, Yang Hao can free up his hands to consider some overall issues.

The door knocked lightly twice, and Yang Hao called: "Come in!" Still looking at the case in his hand without raising his head, the door opened lightly, and a young girl floated in lightly from the outside, holding a tea tray in her hand, a slender figure, a plump and full **, a brute waist with a hand, especially the pomegranate skirt that was tightly tied with a thin waist and a flare opening, and the two slender and straight legs swayed out of a wild style when the skirt moved.

Yang Hao was originally focused on the official document, and his nose suddenly smelled a faint fragrance of drunkenness, and he couldn't help but raise his head in surprise, and at first glance met the pair of blue eyes that hooked the soul, and saw the waterfall-like blonde hair, Yang Hao couldn't help but be stunned, and said in a lost voice: "Why are you?" ”
