In the history of the Tang Dynasty, there are two poems that are more famous, both of which also describe the Tang Dynasty soldiers who fell into the hands of foreign races, one is the work of Bai Juyi, and the one that Shen Long is now singing is the work of Yuan Zhen.

Almost twenty years later, the Anxi Protectorate completely fell, and Yuan Zhen, who was ordered to go to Jiannan Province, met a veteran of the Anxi Protectorate who crossed the territory of Tubo from the Western Regions and fled back to the Tang Dynasty, and listened to him tell his story, and then had this poem.

After Longyou Road was occupied by Tubo, Anxi and Beiting Duhufu fell, and many soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty were taken prisoner and tortured.

In fact, Shen Long did not finish reciting this poem, and there was a part of Yuan Zhen introducing the origin of the Rong people that was omitted, and there was an even worse paragraph in the back that Shen Long also did not recite, "The old man is strong and the young are strong, and the growth of the Tibetan is like a paradox." I don't know that my grandfather is Han Min, so I am afraid that I will be jealous. The edge is full of 100,000 people, why not drive it all at once. Every year, two or three people are caught, and the elite guard is Lu Sai Mingbo. ”

Those old people who still remember that they are the people of the Tang Dynasty have gradually withered, and their descendants have grown up under the rule of the Fan people, and they no longer know that their grandfathers are Han people, and only regard themselves as Fan people...... If it weren't for Shen Long coming here, when the Anxi Protectorate completely fell more than ten years later, and these veterans gradually withered, their descendants might really forget that they were the people of the Tang Dynasty, right?

What's more, perhaps the tragedy that Sikong Tu saw in the Hehuang generation that "the Han children did all their nonsense, but scolded the Han people to the city" will also happen to their descendants.

But now that I'm here, I won't allow this to happen, I want the glory of the Tang Dynasty to reappear in the Western Regions, and I want the descendants of the Tang Dynasty to still hold their noble heads high in this land.

"You have worked hard for many years, and you will go down to wash and rest, wait for your body, and then come back to you to ask for news." Shen Long did not pretend to be a guard in front of them, but also said as a veteran of Anxi Town.

"It's good to come back, it's good for my Datang army to come back!" Although there were still tears on their faces, the corners of these veterans' mouths had begun to show smiles, and when they saw Shen Long and the others, they knew that their hard days had come to an end.

At this time, in the dilapidated shack behind them, a few heads poked out, and they looked at Shen Long and the others with no enthusiasm in their eyes, but with a sense of vigilance.

"It's ...... This is the child I gave birth to by marrying a wife here, and the Tibetan people don't let us teach Chinese to the children, so they ...... They ......" the veteran had a look of shame on his face.

Shen Long raised his hand to stop their explanation, "Since we are back, then from today onwards they will be the people of my Datang, you must let them know that my Datang is the greatest country in the world, and the people of Datang are the proudest people in the world, so you must not be so timid...... Later, Ben Shou will also set up a school in the city to teach them the Tang Dynasty! ”

It's not their fault, and this mistake has time to be reversed, speaking of business, Shen Long has changed back to the identity of the guard of the six cities, from another point of view, it is not a good thing to have these young people, Datang can't provide too many human resources to the Western Regions now, if these Datang veterans can marry wives and have children in the Western Regions, and train their children to become the people of Datang, then Datang can have more human resources available in the Western Regions.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when you inquire about the news in the future, if you know where there are soldiers and people of my Datang who have become slaves of foreign races, you will record them in detail and report back, whether it is to ask for them, to redeem them, or even to send troops to attack, this guard will bring these Datang people back! They have paid so much for Datang, we can't let them suffer anymore! Shen Long solemnly said to the guide sent by Guo Xin.

"The people of the Tang Dynasty who have fallen into the hands of the enemy over the years do not know how many, and they can have such thoughts about guarding and catching, I have written about guarding and catching on behalf of those comrades!" The veterans saluted Shen Long deeply.

"They are my comrades, too!" Now in the Western Regions, every Tang person is precious, Shen Long does not want them to be left behind, if they can collect all the remnants of the Anxi and Beiting Protectorates, this is also a force to be reckoned with, although they may not be able to pick up the horizontal knife and horse lance to fight with the enemy because of their long-term suffering, but the knowledge in their minds is a valuable asset, as long as they can pass these on to the next generation of the Anxi Army and the Beiting Army, this is a great gain.

After clearing the six cities, since the other enemy troops were far away, Shen Long could not worry about the harassment of the enemy army for the time being, and began to do some things with peace of mind.

The army sent by Guo Xin and Yang Zhenggu began to return, leaving only a few guides and craftsmen to help Shen Long, and Shen Long followed the guide these days and traveled all over the Juliu City.

Judging from the geographical topographic map of the Western Regions in later generations, the scene of the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains is quite different, in the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, it is a large area of yellow symbolizing the desert, only at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains there are dots of green, and at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, there is a long and narrow green strip, which is the land that can be cultivated.

As for the reason, we can also see the clues from the map: in the south of the Tianshan Mountains, there are only traces of a small number of rivers, but in the north of the Tianshan Mountains, the number of rivers is several times more than in the south, as long as there is water, there is a basis for the development of agriculture.

"This place is similar to the things suitable for cultivation in Guanzhong, since you are all good families, you must have not forgotten the ability of this kind of land, right? From now on, we will be here in Tuntian! Can you endure hardship? After walking around the six cities and finding a suitable land, Shen Long summoned the whole army and asked.

"Catch, why can't you farm! I'll just do it with you! Anyway, what are we going to plant? "Most of these sons and daughters from Chang'an were born in farming families, and their ability to do this kind of land was learned from an early age.

"Ben Shou will also work with you in the future, as for what to plant, I have a plan!" Shen Long unfolded a map, pointed to the best land near the water source, and said, "Let's grow wheat on these good lands, and there are still some poor lands in these corners, let's plant these!" ”

Shen Long took out a few seeds and put them on the table, and these good people who have been doing farm work since childhood were dumbfounded, "Shou Catch, what are these things?" "They don't even recognize it.
