Zhang Mai spoke: "I'm really not an envoy!" But this holy decree is true, and it was issued by the Tang Dynasty to Guo Xingong and all the frontier soldiers of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate. ”

Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate is a large administrative region ruled by the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, with an area of more than five million square kilometers in its heyday, and it is an extremely critical section of the Silk Road, the geographical location and military and political significance are very important, before Guo Xin, the successive Anxi Metropolitan Protectors were led by the Li Tang royal family, and the actual supreme leaders of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate are only "Deputy Metropolitan Protectors", this time in order to commend the soldiers of the four towns of Anxi, the imperial court officially appointed Guo Xin as the Anxi Metropolitan Protector, the Four Towns Festival Envoy, and the edict ordered the soldiers of the four towns to be promoted to seven seniority.

"But how did this decree and this fish talisman come into my hands?"

This sentence is exactly what everyone wants to ask.

"Do you remember the Anshi Rebellion?"

Everyone chuckled in their hearts, originally wanting to hear Zhang Mai say how he got the holy decree and the fish talisman, but as soon as he mentioned Anshi's turmoil, he was led to the past - that was the pain in the hearts of all the people of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Empire, which stands majestically in the east, is at a low ebb in this catastrophe! The reason why everyone here has fallen to this point is, in the final analysis, also because of this disaster!

Although the battle of Talas failed, the strength of the four towns of Anxi did not hurt Zhenyuan, if it weren't for the Anshi Rebellion, I don't know how Gao Xianzhi would fight back! History has no assumptions, but it is always melancholy.

"After the Anshi Rebellion, the Hexi Corridor was cut off." Zhang Mai synthesized all the news he had heard before, as well as what he still remembered in the textbook: "I heard that Guo Xingong sent a total of fifteen messengers to Chang'an? ”

"Yes." Even Guo Shidao responded.

Zhang Mai said: "But there is only one person who arrived in Chang'an in the end!" ”

Thousands of people are in their hearts, Yang Dingguo sighed and said: "At that time, Longyou Road was cut off, from Anxi to Chang'an, thousands of miles, everywhere was blocked by Hulu, every mountain and a city was not easy!" Except for the envoy who arrived in Chang'an, everyone else is afraid that they will all die halfway......"

Everyone mourned in silence, for the fourteen messengers, and for all the ancestors who shed their blood on the yellow sand and green grass!

"Yes, Guo Xingong's recital arrived in Chang'an, I don't know how many dangers he experienced on the way, among the fifteen messengers, only one arrived in Chang'an, and the imperial court's holy decree, this fish talisman ......" Zhang Mai raised the holy decree fish talisman: "When starting from Chang'an, the situation in the Hexi Corridor is many times more dangerous than when Guo Xin Gong sent out the recital. The road of tens of thousands of miles was cut into several sections by the Hu people. Therefore, halfway through, the envoy was intercepted......"

Just like telling a story, after Zhang Mai started talking, the more he spoke, the smoother he became, and the people listening at the bottom were also attracted one by one, so far Zhang Mai has not said why he wants to tell this story, but many people have faintly felt that this story must have something to do with him.

This time Zhang Mai traveled to the northwest, was by train, through Gansu, Xinjiang, and then went abroad to Central Asia, so he remembered the names of places along the way, and learned some historical stories during the journey, so he even said that he made up the stories of bandits and horse thieves heard along the way: "The envoy was captured several times, and escaped several times, his entourage and guards were lost and martyred in danger again and again, and experienced a lot of hardships, and when he arrived in Zhangye, he was the only one left, and he didn't want to come here. But he was arrested by a group of Tibetan people and used as serfs to herd sheep! ”

When the Anxi soldiers and civilians heard that the envoy was trapped, they all felt a twitch in their hearts, and at the same time, they all hated the Tubo people who were rude to the envoys of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, the envoy's legs were seriously injured, and he thought to himself, he was afraid that he would not be able to reach Qiuzi alive, but it didn't matter if he died, the task handed over by the state could not be completed!"

"Oh, how is that good?" The audience below was in a hurry.

"Fortunately, the envoy only sneaked along the way, and did not reveal his identity, and the Tubo people only regarded him as a small businessman, and the holy decree and the fish talisman were not confiscated because they were well hidden-this is a state secret, and it is also a secret in his heart, and he has not talked to the second person for a few years on the road, and even in the ten years of shepherding sheep, until he met a Han woman who is also a wandering woman......

A Han woman who lives in Fanbang? When Guo Fen heard this, he thought: "What will happen in the future must have something to do with this Han girl." ”

Sure enough, I heard Zhang Mai say: "When the two met, at first they only thought that the other party was an ordinary herdsman and serf, and they didn't say a few words when they met, but only a few months after they met, on this day of the Double Ninth Festival, the envoy suddenly thought about it and blurted out Wang Wei's verses: 'Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festival is more than a family, September and September ascending day, and there is one less person in the dogwood. When the shepherd girl heard this, she knew that the man in front of her was from the Central Plains, and she really didn't expect to meet her hometown here, so she stepped forward to talk to the envoy, and the envoy heard that she was also a citizen of the Tang Dynasty in Middle Earth, and was surprised and then sad, and then gave birth to cordiality, the scene at that time, it was really a fellow villager to see a fellow countryman, two tears in his eyes, and since then, the two people have often talked together, just like two fish falling into the mud pit that dries up at any time, and they are dependent on each other. ”

Zhang Mai is a Jin Yong fan, he learned Wei Xiaobao's lying tricks from "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and knows that in a large number of lies, irrelevant and fascinating details can be tireless, but the key tampering can be blurred, originally talking about how difficult the envoy was all the way, but when it came to this, the wind and snow suddenly rose, but instead of feeling impatient, the soldiers and civilians felt real and credible.

One of the women below couldn't help but ask, "What happened later?" The two of them came together, didn't they? ”

"Yes."

"Ah, that's good!" Several young girls sighed softly: "That's a great fortune in misfortune." ”

The women were concerned about the envoy's marriage, but Guo Shidao and the others were anxious to know what happened to the Holy Decree Fish Fu, but it was not easy to urge, Guo Fen asked: "Then did the envoy tell his wife about his identity later?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Mai continued: "Husband and wife are one, what else can't be said? After the envoy told his new wife about his mission and troubles, he discussed escaping together, but his wife saw that the envoy's legs and feet were inconvenient, the Tubo people were very strict, and every family in the northwest region had horses, and the terrain was open, so he was afraid that he would not be able to escape far and be arrested, which would mislead the country's major affairs! This envoy's wife is also a Hui Zhilanxin, and after thinking about it repeatedly, she asked her to come up with another way. ”

At this point in the story, even Guo Shidao and Yang Dingguo are eager to know what solution this heroine has come up with, but it is not easy to interrupt.

"What is the envoy's wife's solution? She said, 'I'm a woman, and you're injured again, and you can't run far.' If you want to pass this holy decree fish talisman to Qiuzi, the only way is for us to give birth to a child, and when we grow up, let him inherit your ambition and complete the mission of the imperial court. ’”

Many people in the audience sighed at the same time, both unexpected, but also reasonable, Guo Shidao, Yang Dingguo and others even thought of their ancestors - isn't it that they failed to defend the four towns, failed to wait for the call of Chang'an, failed to restore the Western Regions, and pinned this kind of mission and expectation on future generations? Therefore, they all resonated, Guo Shidao thought of the hardships of the ancestors of the past dynasties who adhered to the Han unification surrounded by Hulu, his nose was sore, his eyes were hot, and he almost cried.

The envoy's wife's words were an idea that the envoy himself did not expect, and in this way, they gave birth to several children, cultivated their literary and martial arts from an early age, and after more than twenty years, selected the two bravest among them to go west. However, at this time, the shape of the Western Regions has undergone great changes, and at this time, more than 30 years have passed since the Holy Decree set off from Chang'an, and when they arrived in Qiuzi, they could not see Guo Xingong. ”

Guo Shidao suddenly cried bitterly, and knelt down in front of the east: "We can't wait, if we can hold on for a few more years, maybe we will wait for the edict of the imperial court!" As soon as he knelt, Guo Luo, Guo Fen and others also knelt down one after another, and the eyes of many soldiers below were also a little red.

Zhang Mai often reads crooked novels and listens to cross talk reviews, such stories are basketed in his stomach, so many details just now are made up casually, but his story is fake, but the loyalty of the soldiers of the Tang Army is true, at this time, he was infected by everyone's feelings, his eyes were a little red, and he sighed: "This is also something that can't be helped, maybe God still wants to hone it for us." ”

Yang Dingguo asked: "What about later?" What happened to the brothers? ”

"Later, the brothers were in the same predicament as his father - their actions had already aroused the Hu people's ideas, and soon a conflict ensued, in which the younger brother was martyred and the elder brother was seriously injured......

When everyone heard this, they were even more sad.

At this time, his brother still hadn't found Anxi Tang Jun, but he thought to himself: This is his father's lifelong wish and the mission of the country, and it doesn't matter if his life is gone. But we still have to find a way to accomplish this task. So he married a good woman, imitated his parents, and gave birth to a child, and passed on to him the holy decree, the fish talisman, and the dagger, along with the family's mission. After this child grew up, he couldn't find the Tang Army in the Western Regions, but they slowly inquired about the news, because because of the age, many of the literary and martial arts left by the envoy were lost, and in order to avoid being discovered by the Hui people, they also kept the secret very deep, and they didn't dare to confide the truth casually. But step by step, he traveled westward, passed down this mission from generation to generation, and never gave up until today! ”

His words brought back the loopholes such as why he was not very literate, not very good at martial arts, and why he had just arrived. And this story is very malleable, and if any flaws are revealed in the future, there is room for turnaround.

At this point, the story is nearing the end, and several Tang people below said: "We understand that although Zhang Lang is not the envoy himself, he is the descendant of the envoy." ”

Zhang Mai didn't answer, but acquiesced, and said secretly in his heart: "This sentence is not what I said...... You said it yourself. ”

But thousands of soldiers and civilians heard that their family had made such a great sacrifice for the country, which was really respectable, and Guo Shidao looked up to the sky and said: "I, the Anxi general, will stick to it from generation to generation, and the special envoy family will go west from generation to generation." If the envoy had not met us, he would have had an accident in the desert; If we hadn't met the envoy, we would have been destroyed and killed under the siege of the Uighurs this time. But in the dark, we still let the remnants meet the descendants of the envoy, which is a sign that God has not abandoned us! Hu Yun is not long, Han Dao will be prosperous! ”

His words were a bit mysterious, but thousands of soldiers and civilians thought in their hearts: "Yes, things have been separated for so long, and it is so difficult, but we can all survive it, and the envoy's family has traveled westward for so many generations, and the Holy Decree Fish Talisman has not been lost-this must be God bless us!" Hu Yun is not long, Han Dao will be prosperous! Hu Yun is not long, Han Dao will be prosperous! ”

There are even some people who cry out what they think in their hearts.

"Hu Yun will not be long, Han Dao will be prosperous!"

"Hu Yun will not be long, Han Dao will be prosperous!"

In the excitement of the crowd, Yang Yi asked Zhang Mai: "Zhang Gongzi, is Datang still there?" ”
