Chapter 101: Liangzhou's Great Victory

Chen Tianfang whetted his appetite and continued.

"This Utu leads 20,000 soldiers and horses, and 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Liangzhou, that's murderous! Out of Liangzhou City rushed to Yingzhou City, in the middle of the two cities, the wide place of the river beach on both sides of the Heihe River camped. ”

The Heihe River is the mother river of Hexi, which runs through the entire Hexi Corridor and raises children on both sides.

"In this Hexi corridor, Liangzhou and Ganzhou are the narrowest places. Utu's soldiers were stationed in narrow mountain valleys, the narrowest being no more than a mile, and the width was no more than a few miles, and the ranks stretched for dozens of miles. ”

"Everyone is waiting for when this team will attack, and then Utu first sent a small team of people to spy on the information and harass the soldiers and civilians of Yingzhou, but the team is still stationed in place, and they are all speculating that it is waiting for the arrival of the Yuanyou army, and Daxia will not move."

"And Dazhao has stationed 10,000 horses in Yingzhou, and the cavalry has only been formed for more than a year, and the number of men and horses is not clear, let alone combat effectiveness."

"Yingzhou City is panicked, so after more than a month, the army and civilians are on guard day and night, and they don't know when they will capture Yingzhou City."

"In autumn and winter, the dry land is rough, the grass and trees are withered and yellow, the north wind is cold, and the wilderness is desolate. Just when the two countries were in a stalemate, one night, Jokhang took the initiative to attack. ”

"I don't know where Dazhao found so many skilled archers, and the bow and crossbow can shoot seven or eight hundred meters. They climbed the high mountains on both sides of the river valley, and the arrows were lit with a kind of black oil hollowed out in the handles, and shot at the grain and grass storehouses, the dry grass and trees, and the Chinese army. ”

"Speaking of that day, it was quite strange, usually the northwest wind blew, but that day and night the southeast wind blew, and the fire burned all the way in the direction of Liangzhou, and even God was helping Dazhao. The soldiers were busy going to the river to fetch water to extinguish the fire, but the black oil was really powerful, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it couldn't be extinguished at all. ”

"The soldiers saw the ferocity of the fire and rushed to flee for their lives. The horses were also frightened and ran around, and the narrowest part was no more than a mile wide, and so many people were in a hurry to pass, and people were crowded and people were trampled on people, and horses were crowded and horses were trampled on people. However, the Jokhang soldiers lay in ambush on the narrowest peaks of the hills, throwing stones and firing bows and crossbows. ”

Chen Tianfang described it again, he was very good at ventriloquism. The bloody battles, cruel and tragic battles on the battlefield were all said by him as if they were on the scene, as if they were on the scene.

In a short time, countless people were killed and wounded, and the screams really made the iron man cry, and the water of the black river was dyed red. The next day, it rained heavily and the fire was extinguished. ”

"Of the 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Utu, only 5,000 remnants of the defeated army will return to Liangzhou. Everyone originally thought that this victory was really not easy, but there was still an army led by Yuan You coming behind, and the next tough battle didn't know that the deer would die casually! ”

"But who would have thought that Yang Che would ignore it and take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Liangzhou. He led 20,000 horses, 10,000 of whom were cavalry. There were not many defenders left in Liangzhou, and the remnants of the Utu Territory were already frightened birds, which was the opponent of Dazhao. ”

"Originally, it would take at least a few months to attack the city, and it was not uncommon for more than a year to occur, and when the Yuanyou army arrived, it would be dangerous. Unexpectedly, taking advantage of the chaos in Liangzhou, Yang Che had already sent someone to disguise himself as a Great Xia soldier and withdraw to Liangzhou with the 5,000 men and horses. ”

In the middle of the night, these people killed the guards at the city gate and opened the gate of Liangzhou City. Yang Che descended like a god, led the Jokhang soldiers to enter in one fell swoop, captured the first important town in Hexi, and also pocketed the largest and best Yundan Horse Farm in Hexi and even the entire Western Regions. ”

Yang Che was strictly disciplined and strictly forbade soldiers to burn, kill and loot, and the people of Yingzhou City and Liangzhou City quickly settled down. Now Yingzhou is more prosperous than before, and Liangzhou is also greatly stable. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to ask you two questions now."

"Is it a fluke that Yang Che won Yingzhou and Liangzhou?"

"Can this Yang Che be regarded as a hero of the world?"

The answer was applause and cheers that could tear down the roof.

"I want to ask the brother Tai just now a question, in the past, Taishi Gong said that Zhang Liang looked like a woman, but is he a woman? Some people say today that Yang Che looks like a woman, but he behaves like a woman? ”

Seeing this, the arrogant scoundrel lowered his head and did not dare to say a word more.

Tan Yin was thrilled when she heard it, and when she saw everyone praising her husband like this, she was naturally excited and couldn't help herself.

She turned her head to look left and right, but saw Lian Sang's tears flowing down one by one, and saw Tan Yin looking at her, so she quickly wiped away her tears.

Chen Tianfang continued: "Now Yingzhou is so prosperous, have you ever seen it? Liangzhou is about to return to its historical prosperity, do you look forward to it? Since Hexi was occupied by Bactria and has been incommunicado with the Jokhang for 70 years. ”

"I want to ask you again, whether the prosperity of Hexi is tied to Daxia or Dazhao! That's all there is to say. ”

Chen Tianfang ended his storytelling and left everyone with a few questions.

......

Everyone came out of the teahouse, and they seemed to be still immersed in the surging excitement just now.

Getting into the carriage, several people were speechless, Tan Yin saw Lian Sang crying just now, thinking that it was sad. She is usually heroic and unsmiling, but just now she was ready to jump up and settle accounts with the scoundrel.

After walking for a while, Lian Sang slowly talked about his own affairs.

The main family of Lian Sang is the Chen family of Dunhuang generations, which is a large family in the Central Plains, in order to avoid war, moved west to Hexi, and has been here for 600 years.

The Chen family went through several dynasties, and the Central Plains and foreign countries took turns to rule Hexi.

The reign of the previous dynasty for nearly 300 years was the most glorious time of Dunhuang, when merchants from all over the world came to Middle-earth, and merchants from Middle-earth went to the Western Regions and Great Qin, and the Silk Road was more prosperous than the two Han Dynasty.

The people of Hexi have lived a peaceful life for 300 years, the study of Confucianism and Taoism has flourished, and the people have been moistened by etiquette and music. The Chen family has been studying for generations, has a very strict family education, and many people are officials, and they are very prestigious in the local area. The rulers of this land, whether Han Chinese or Fanbang, have great respect for the Chen family.

After nearly a hundred years of war during the fall of the previous dynasty, the Chen family protected themselves in the troubled times and did not participate in any fight.

Seventy years after the Great Xia won Hexi, the royal family came from the grassland clan, a nation on horseback, brave and good at fighting, conquering cities and conquering the north.

But the degree of civilization is far from that of the Zhao. Great Xia Taizu once made three queens, and each queen was slandered and killed by the latter queen. He also seized the prince's fiancΓ©e as a concubine, and was later killed by the prince's forced palace.

The second emperor Taizong first married his uncle's cousin, and then had an affair with his uncle's daughter-in-law Liang, and then destroyed his uncle's family and established Liang as the queen.

The Great Xia Emperor Party and the Later Party competed for power, and civil strife continued and killings continued.

After Hexi was occupied by Great Xia, the Western Regions were different from the Central Plains, Dunhuang was not prosperous, and gradually reduced to a small border county, but born and grew up in Si, the Chen family still lived their own life.

But there are unforeseen circumstances. Sister Lian Sang, the eldest lady of the Chen family, is well-known in the land of Dunhuang. It is known as "laughing outside the city, singing willows in the city".

Guanyin in the caves outside the city of Dunhuang, Miss Chen in the city is named Yongliu, a seven-year-old Yongliu poem is amazing, and she looks more beautiful.

She and the children of the family surnamed Liu in Dunhuang have been married since childhood, and many people in the city can only sigh.

After the ceremony, her reputation became even more famous, and I don't know how many people want to see her.

This year, a new Taishou Liang Quan came to Dunhuang. This person is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Liang, and I heard that a major incident was committed in the Great Xia Dynasty, and the Empress Dowager Liang let him go to Dunhuang to avoid trouble in order to protect him.

He was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and his aunt Liang had been in power for more than 20 years, and he was one of the most prominent families in Great Xia. The original partner died early, and there were more than a dozen concubines, who were frequent visitors to Qinglou.

Liang Quan learned of Yongliu's good name, and occasionally scratched his ears and cheeks, thinking about it day and night, so he wanted to marry her as a continuation.

The Chen family rejected the Liang family on the grounds that Yongliu had a marriage contract, and originally thought that this matter would be over. But soon after, the Liu family came to the Chen family to withdraw from their relatives, and the Chen family knew that this matter was not over at all.

Slowly, Yongliu has already promised people, even if there is no one, the Chen family will never let the pearl in the palm marry someone to be a continuation, let alone such a shameless person.

Besides, Empress Dowager Liang had an affair with Daxia Taizong, and betrayed her ex-husband's whole family in exchange for the glory and wealth, and the virtuous scholars were deeply ashamed.

The Chen family had no choice but to agree to the Liu family's divorce. Sure enough, after the divorce, Liang Quan came to ask for marriage again, but this time the Chen family politely declined, and Liang Quan accepted it with a good voice and didn't say much.

The Chen family was originally uneasy, but they thought that the county guards of all dynasties had treated the Chen family with courtesy, and the Chen family could be regarded as a big family.

Who knew that half a year later, one day on the way to the temple for the deceased mother, Chen Yongliu was robbed by Liang Quan in broad daylight, and was released back three days later, and Chen Yongliu committed suicide on Liang on the same day.

The Chen family went to the royal capital to complain, but they were said that they did not understand the customs and falsely accused the emperor's relatives and relatives, and it was the inherent custom of the nomadic people to rob marriage.

Chen Yongliu is a household name, her humiliated death aroused the resentment of the city, the people in Dunhuang City were in an uproar, and the Chen family was beheaded on the charge of inciting rebellion.

Fortunately, the head of the Chen family had a bad premonition and sent some juniors out of the family to avoid suffering from the whole house. Chen Weixin, the young master of the Chen family, was among them, he was twelve years old at the time, and Lian Sang was only ten years old at that time.

……

"Yingzhou and Liangzhou have all returned to Middle-earth, and I don't know when Dunhuang will wait. My Chen family grew up in Dunhuang for generations, but they ended up ruined, and I don't know when I will be able to take revenge. ”

Even after more than ten years, the resentment in Lian Sang's heart still does not decrease by half.

After hearing this, Tan Yin felt chills all over her body, it was unimaginable that she was so blind, unscrupulous, and shameless. Thinking of that beautiful flying sky, I don't know how beautiful the girl who made the city stir, and her fall is even more lamentable.

"Isn't there a royal law?"

The founding emperor of the Jokhang Dynasty once established an ancestral precept that he would not be convicted of his words, and unless he committed a serious crime such as treason or murder and arson, he could not be punished.

Officials also abide by the royal law, like this kind of robbing the eldest daughter of the family in broad daylight, and slandering the family for rebellion afterwards, he has already given the book to the imperial history platform.

"Wang Fa? They are the king's law, vulgar and unruly, how can they compare to the Central Plains Civilization Huazhang. Lian Sang sneered.

Tan Yin pressed Lian Sang's hand and said, "There will definitely be a chance." ”

The corners of Lian Sang's mouth pulled out a few smiles, and he nodded at her, "Master Hou is the god of war who came down to save the people of Hexi, we will never allow others to insult him, we will definitely wait until that day." ”
