Zhang Yichao's ancestor is a prominent family in Liangzhou, dating back to the Western Jin Dynasty, and Zhang Liang is the history of Liangzhou. Later, the Zhang clan was in power in Liangzhou. Zhang Yichao's ancestors are a branch of the Zhang family, who have lived in Liangzhou for generations.

Until the Tubo took advantage of the decline of the Tang Dynasty's national strength to occupy Liangzhou, the Han residents of Liangzhou were enslaved by the Tubo people. Zhang Yichao's father led his clansmen and villagers from ten miles and eight townships to occupy Jinta Mountain and confront the Tubo people.

Liu Ye and his entourage took advantage of the cover of night to rush to Jinta Mountain. Along the way, there are also Tibetan tents located on the grass. There were soldiers patrolling around the tents.

Liu Ye and the others were all dressed as Tubo soldiers, and the people on the horses were all from their own clan. and he questioned them no more, but let them pass by the tent.

Fortunately, the husband and wife are quite knowledgeable and very cooperative with Liu Ye and his party. When the sky was a little light, the group came to the foot of Jinta Mountain.

Hostess: "This is it, this is where you want to go." ”

The hostess breathed a sigh of relief, "Let us go back." ”

Liu Ye took out another twenty taels of silver, "We don't want to be enemies with you, we all live in peace and live a good life, it's our wish." Take the money. Thank you for all the way. ”

Winter Frost translated to the husband and wife. By this time, the husband and wife believed that Liu Ye and his party had no intention of harming their children. They're just letting themselves lead the way.

The husband and wife are still very angry, in case they meet a tribal leader who is more serious, and they regard themselves and them as accomplices, and they can't eat and walk around.

Liu Ye pointed to the leader who was still asleep, "He will go back with you." We promised to let him go, and we kept our promises. I hope you will give him a ride. ”

The husband and wife went back with the leader, and the two of them didn't pay attention to Liu Ye and his party. It's always uncomfortable to be forced to be forced. The three of them shouted at the foot of the mountain.

"Listen, the people on the mountain, we are the people of Datang, and we specially came to join Zhang Daxia." Jiang Yao shouted towards the mountain.

The interaction of their group at the foot of the mountain, the sentinel on the mountain watched. Hurry up and report to Zhang Yichao.

"Young master, someone has come to defect."

Refugees often come to the mountains. Zhang Yichao put on his clothes, walked out of the tent, and looked out from the lookout hole. At the foot of the mountain, there were three people, dressed in the costumes of Tibetan soldiers, riding on high-headed horses.

Those three horses were nothing but extraordinary, and they were not something that ordinary soldiers could have. Jiang Yao shouted: "Zhang Daxia, we sincerely defect to Zhang Daxia, your hospitality is not good, and I haven't seen the true face of Daxia until now." ”

Willow took out a waist tag from the barrel of his boot, tied it to an arrow, and shot it at the goalpost on the mountain. Liu Ye said loudly: "Look at it, look at what is written on the waist card?" If you still know kanji. ”

The arrow was nailed to the doorpost, the tail of the arrow trembled suddenly, and a soldier stepped forward to pull the arrow off and handed it to Zhang Yichao. Zhang Yichao took the waist card and carefully checked it, the waist card was engraved with the word "Imperial Gift", and the pattern was carved with a lion pattern for a large person.

It turned out to be a first-class master, how could this be. Zhang Yichao didn't believe it. Zhang Yichao appeared inside the mountain gate with a team of soldiers.

Winter Frost led the horse to follow, and Liu Ye and Jiang Yao took off the costumes of the Tubo soldiers, dressed in Han costumes.

Liu Ye and Jiang Yao gave a deep salute, "We admire Zhang Daxia's high righteousness, and I have come to help Zhang Daxia." ”

Zhang Yichao stood in the door and asked; "The Tibetans are heavily guarded, how did the three of you break through the blockade to me?"

He had to be cautious, and behind him were the lives of thousands of civilians. Liu Ye: "We set out from the capital, crossed Qingmang Mountain, arrived in Tibet, held a Tibetan leader hostage, and then a herdsman couple brought us here. ”

Zhang Yichao's eyes were scrutinized, and he said as if he was in danger. Zhang Yichao expressed skepticism; "Easier said than done."

Before he could finish speaking, the willow leaf had already jumped up and came to him in an instant. Zhang Yichao's guards swords were unsheathed one after another, and Jiang Yao threw out a wave of hidden weapons. The guards were numb and couldn't hold their swords.

"It's easy to do." Liu Ye reached out and grabbed Zhang Yichao's wrist.

"You all stand down and open the door of the cottage, what do you call the hero?" Zhang Yichao held the willow leaf with his backhand, and the two stood with their arms together.

Looking at the martial arts cultivation of the three of them, it is not difficult to take their own heads. He believed that the three of them broke out of the enemy's blockade by virtue of their superb martial arts and extraordinary courage.

The guards opened the gate and moved their rifles. Liu Ye looked at the horse rejection rifle lurking in the bushes, and said with a smile: "Zhang Daxia, you are well prepared and prepared, for the Tubo people who are good at salvo shooting, the horse rejection gun is indeed effective." ”

There was an ambush in the grass, and the group came up the mountain. Zhang Yichao let the three of them into his own tent. The guards were not worried about following up, Zhang Yichao waved his hand.

The guards stood guard outside the tent. Zhang Yichao brought butter tea, "You taste it, local characteristics." I am used to drinking it and it tastes good. ”

Liu Ye took it and took a sip, "Zhang Daxia, yesterday we were at the herdsman's house, we ate and drank enough and then hijacked them to show us the way, sometimes the gentleman's demeanor is not good, only by exercising the robber way, it works." ”

Zhang Yichao served a wooden bowl to Jiang Yao and Dongshuang, "Exercising extraordinary measures in extraordinary times is also a last resort. ”

Liu Ye: "We are in Qingmang Mountain, and we have crossed the mountains and mountains overnight, for fear of meeting the enemy. But it backfired, and we met the enemy on a narrow road, and we harvested twenty lives before we came down from the mountain. The armor was also replaced by those men. ”

Zhang Yichao arched his hand and said: "The three strong men are here to help me, and Zhang is grateful." On behalf of the fathers and villagers here, Zhang thanked you. The court has lost contact with us for many years. We're struggling here, and we're fighting to survive. Anyway, if you don't fight, it's a dead end, and if you fight, there may be a glimmer of life. ”

Jiang Yao: "It's really hard for you to be able to hold on to all these years, in the hinterland of the enemy for all these years." ”

Zhang Yichao was dancing happily as he spoke. With help, at least someone in the capital knows that they are here to stay. "Sons, how did you find out about us? Is it the meaning of the imperial court, or is it your personal opinion? ”

Zhang Yichao has to find out whether it is the ranger's personal behavior or the official covert support. The meaning of the two is different. If it is an individual, it is still a drop in the bucket, and the road to help is long. If the official secretly helps, there will be people lurking in through other channels in the future.

Willow; "Semi-official, with the permission of the imperial court, I came out of the imperial court. The two of them were a personal friendship, out of respect for the righteous. ”

Zhang Yichao clenched his fists at Liu Ye, "Dare to ask Childe, what do you call it?" ”

Liu Ye: "I am Liu Ye, a hussar general of the imperial court, here Zhang Daxia just calls me Ye Gongzi." This is Jiang Yao, you just call him Yao Gongzi. This is Winter Frost, and you call him Frost Boy. ”
