Chapter 21 Petition for Nomination

It turned out and . After escaping from Sa Mojian, Bo Xilin panicked in the wind and snow, and just fled to the vicinity of the small city where the Kang royal family lived, and met the king of Kang and the king of the rice country Mo Si. Both of them were the sons of the old Kang king Ulega, and they joined forces after the battle of Talas River.

Although the Sogdians united with Dashi to defeat the Anxi army at the Talas River, they themselves paid several times the price of the Anxi army, and Kang and Mi suffered heavy losses. At both ends of the Sogdian people, after seeing the strength of the Anxi Iron Army with their own eyes, Du Ai and Mo Si had already regretted mixing with the Shi Kingdom. After the end of the war, they had indeed sent envoys over the Green Mountains to Chang'an to pay tribute and apologize to the Tang Emperor, in order to avoid the retaliation of the Tang Iron Cavalry.

In the Battle of Talas River, the Sogdians, who had more than half of the total number of troops, were used as cannon fodder by Ziad, and the Sogdians were extremely dissatisfied. After the victory, the two were worried about the retaliation of the Anxi army, and they were always extremely panicked. This time, just saw more than a thousand and. The remnants of Posilin's army were defeated, and the two brothers Dash and Mo Si discussed it and made a risky decision.

Thousands of Sogdian warriors waited for their work, besieging and killing more than a thousand cold and hungry Persian cavalry who had lost their horses, and the loss of hundreds was estimated to be some, but definitely not thousands. This is definitely an exaggeration.

Combine. All of Posilin's men were killed in battle, and . . . Posilin also became a prisoner of the two brothers. Caught and. After Bo Xilin, the two also knew what was going on in Sa Mojian, and after discussing it, the two took it with them. Bo Silin came to build a sassy and wanted to merge it. Posilin dedicated to the Anxi army.

……

Ma Lan listened to the aggressive crying and gave his own judgment.

The words of the Ao are basically true.

Standing in line and betting on treasure is what Zhaowu Jiu usually does, and this time he and Mo Si pressed the treasure on the side of Datang.

defeated the Anxi army, but turned to the Tang Dynasty, in Ma Lan's opinion, this is also very understandable.

The Sogdian army had never really fought against the Anxi army before, and this time it was at Talas River that they experienced for the first time the strength of the Han army. The Sogdians, who had been doing business on the Silk Road all year round, knew how powerful the Tang Dynasty was. For a behemoth with an account of nearly 10 million, this little loss can be easily recovered.

Although the Anxi army was defeated at the Talas River, it did not hurt the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, which the Sogdians knew very well. The Sogdians were worried about the retaliation of the Tang Dynasty, which was also a normal thing.

Compared with the current monolith of the Tang Dynasty, the interior of the Great Food is now fragmented, and in this case, it is entirely possible that the Sogdians will bet on the Tang Dynasty again.

It is now the tenth year of Tianbao, and in the original history, the next year of the Battle of Talas, that is, the eleventh year of Tianbao, the envoy of King Kang Guo came to Chang'an, offered his gifts and asked for troops to attack Dashi. That messenger should have been sent out by the fat man in front of him, which shows that this fat man is indeed afraid of Datang's revenge.

……

Du Huan looked at the lying on the ground and. Bo Silin's eyes lit up with excitement. This guy is another great achievement in the eyes of the family. This is the marshal of the Great Cannibal, a nobler figure than the Ziad he killed before.

Ma Lan stood with his hands in his hands, thinking quickly in his heart.

No matter what these two foreign princes think, they finally made the choice to go to Datang, and what he needs to do now is to maximize the benefits of this matter.

Ma Lan didn't know what prompted Du Ai and Mo Si to make up their minds and merge. He who joins the fire of Bosilim is a merger; Posilin's hostility towards them.

……

On the same day, Sa Mo built a war, and. Not only was he attacked by the Anxi prisoners, but he was also ambushed by unidentified Sogdian warriors, whose elite men died more at the hands of the Sogdian warriors than at the hands of the Anxi, and finally had to abandon their horses and leave the city in a hurry, also because the Sogdian ambushers blocked the city gates.

He mentally laid the blame on the Abbas and al-Mansur brothers, believing that the Sogdians were instructed by the Abbas brothers and that the Abbas brothers were the culprits. However, after all, it was the Sogdians, and . . . Posilin also hated the Sogdians in the river.

So when encountering the aggressive and silent, and . The killing intent in Po Silin's eyes could not be concealed at all.

The descendants of Ulga are not idiots after all, how can they not feel this? The two brothers also made a decision on the spot, and immediately ordered their samurai to attack, killing and. All of Posilin's men were captured alive and. Posilin.

If yes and . Posilin was able to hide his emotions, and maybe this would not have happened. However, he is the first hero of the rise of the black-clothed food, and what a proud person, who does not bother to hide it in the face of the Duai and Mosi brothers. It can be said that it was his pride that hurt him.

……

After talking with tears in his eyes, he peeked at Ma Lu, who was contemplating. At this moment, his heart was extremely worried, and he didn't know how Ma Lu would decide.

"Excellent! King of Chinhua, King Gongshun, you have done a good job! What happened just now, it was General Ben who was reckless! ”

"General! The slave warriors really died unjustly......" Thinking of those subordinates who died in vain, he cried loudly.

"But people can't be resurrected after death, and I think the two princes won't let this general take his life, haha!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Du Ai and Mo Si were startled and hurriedly said.

"That's right!" Ma Ling smiled and nodded, "King Qinhua, King Gongshun, you are both vassals of the Tang Dynasty, and you have 100,000 victorious soldiers in the country, which is enough to be proud of the western region, why do you want to go against the grain and be driven by that big cannibal?" It must be known that as a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, I am a minister of the Tang Dynasty, and I will not take any wisp of yours, and I will be a vassal of the Great Food, but you will be driven out of the royal capital as a king, and you will be extorted for millions of gold and silver every year! I have heard for a long time that the Sogdians are good at dancing with long sleeves, can't we distinguish the pros and cons of this? ”

Arrogant looked ashamed, and said continuously: "The general's lesson is that the little slave is blinded by lard, so he will resist the king and be driven by the big cannibal as a lackey. The slave didn't dare, he didn't dare anymore, he just hoped to join forces with the general, and the plan would be ruined! ”

"If the king and the master fight again, the slaves and other subordinates are willing to be the forerunner!" Mo Si also hurriedly said.

Ma Lan smiled, he already had a plan in his heart.

For the nine surnames of Zhaowu, the Tang Dynasty is far away and the big food is close, and it is a last resort to fall to the big food when the big food is at its peak. Although the kings of the nine surnames accepted the canonization of the Tang Dynasty for generations, this canonization was nominal, and more of a way for the Sogdians to exalt themselves in the face of the great cannibals.

Since the beginning of the Gaozong Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has a plan to go west, but due to the natural danger of the Green Ridge, the iron cavalry rarely really set foot in the west of the Green Ridge. Due to the repeated rebellions of the Turks in the north of the Green Ridge Province, the roads were often blocked, and the southern road was blocked by the Tibetans, so this plan was never really realized.

Before the Battle of Talas, the Tang Dynasty had ushered in the best opportunity to set foot in the river. During the Tianbao period, the famous generals were like clouds, and Wang Zhongsi, Gao Xianzhi, and Ge Shuhan were all the choices of the moment. Wang Zhong's brother Shuhan successively held the right side of the festival, and fought in the land of the river meander, oppressing the Tubo people to the west, and no longer had the strength to compete with the Tang Dynasty for the land of the four towns; Gao Xianzhi attacked Xiao Bolu and opened the gateway to Wuhu Water from the southern foot of the Green Mountains; As for the northern foot of the Green Ridge due to the fall of the Tuqi Khanate, the door was also wide open, and the Beiting Festival made Wang Zhengjian even hit Broken Leaf Town, and burned Broken Leaf City.

At this time, the north and south roads of the Green Mountains have been opened, and if you can lay a nail in the river, it is definitely promising to take advantage of the great food and change of generations. The Anxi army attacked the stone country at the invitation of King Bakhana, and the bigwigs in the court did not have this purpose.

It can be said that all the choices are not wrong, the only pity is that Gao Xianzhi, who won a hundred battles in the battle of Talas, was defeated!

In the original history, after the Battle of Talas, even though King Tianbao of Kangguo went to the table in the eleventh year to request the black-clothed food, the Anxi Iron Cavalry never took a step beyond the green mountain.

Gao Xianzhi was conscripted into the court, and Wang Zhengjian, the envoy of the Beiting Festival, replaced Gao Xianzhi's lord Bian Anxi, and died of illness in office soon after. After Wang Zhengjian named Changqing as the envoy of the Four Towns Festival, he conquered the east and the west within a few years, and it can be said that he was also prestigious, not only firmly guarding the four towns, but also slightly developing, but the Anxi Army under his command never had any intention of going west.

If there was no Anshi Rebellion, Datang could calmly arrange, the civil strife of the Great Cannibals lasted for a long time, and Datang had plenty of time to cross the green mountains to the west and occupy this fertile oasis.

It was precisely because of the Anshi Rebellion that the Tang Dynasty even discarded the entire Anxi, and it was impossible to consider the river west of the Green Ridge. When Bai Lotian lamented that "the river is not visible", he didn't even mention the land in the river at all.

After the Middle Tang Dynasty, the territory of the Tang Dynasty shrank day by day, and finally collapsed. After a short period of five dynasties, the Song Dynasty was even smaller, and it was a sad dynasty that did not even have a land for raising horses. The Yuan Dynasty was the Hu Dynasty, but the territory did not include Hezhong, and in the Ming Dynasty, Yumen Pass was already a border......

If this opportunity is lost, it will be forever. Even in the era of Ma Lan's life, the land in the river was also outside the territory.

Ma Lan never thought that he could change the general trend of history. However at the moment the most famous Persian slaves and . Posilin was right in front of him, but he saw the possibility. All of a sudden, his heart was also hot.

Such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Don't miss the opportunity, lose it again!

……

"King Qinhua, obedient king, you are commendable for your loyalty! In reward for your loyalty, the General will give you the honor of slaying this fang! Ma Lan looked at the two fat Sogdian men and pointed at them. Bo Xilin laughed loudly.

"General, you meanβ€”" Duhao and Mo Si were startled, and their faces were embarrassed.

"Why, don't you want to?" Ma Lan's smile became extremely dangerous.

Ao and Mo Si glanced at each other, and said at the same time: "The slave is willing!" ”

They also understood and killed in public. Bo Xilin is the letter of surrender that the Tang Dynasty General Jin Wuwei asked them to send. Only by doing so will the general trust them, and the Anxi army will be able to trust them.

In the face of thousands of Anxi Army iron cavalry, they had no choice at all.

It's just that since then, it is no longer possible to ride the wall between Datang and Black-clothed Dashi.
