[Zhao Yuli document contains Yonghui four years of Sha (Shache) national notes, Yu Sha Wang Bao Dadu said that since Zhenguan 21 years, Guo Xiaoke sent a reprimand to ask the West Night, the country "is out of the way, quite repentant", and emphasized that the West Night people "hang alone in the desert, alone in the desert and alone in the desert. self-closed door, no longer travel", and the people of the West Night "abandoned the son and joined the city, and collected the Qiangu." Bustling in the capital, I don't know what it does. ”】

Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel a little strange.

You must know that according to the document, in the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, the Yarkand River was diverted due to the sandstorm, and the city of Huqiangu, which was originally in the Liangtian trade route, has been isolated in the desert and has become a city in the oasis.

The oasis didn't support many people, and the Western Night Kingdom abandoned the second largest city, Zidu, and moved the whole country to the city of Huggan Valley. What's more, when Xiye annexed the three kingdoms of Puli, Deruo and Yinai, and invaded the country of Wulei, he captured all the population and the pot back to the city.

In this way, there are already tens of thousands of people in the small city of Hugganda, and no matter how people eat and feed them, the Western Night Kingdom can't afford to have so many mouths to be fed.

I can only think of one possibility, but obviously, as Guo Xiaoke, who is the protector of Anxi of the Tang Dynasty, he may not have thought of it, or he may have thought of it, but he doesn't want to care anymore.

Because the Tang Dynasty had just driven out the Turkic forces at that time, and its foothold in the Western Regions was not stable, the Anxi Protectorate did not have the desire to govern the local city-states, nor did it have the ability to set up counties.

Guo Xiaoke's name is Duhu, but his own strength is also stretched, he can only adopt a policy of appeasement, as long as he gets the majesty and obedience of the lords of these small states, everything is easy to say.

And after the West Night Country reprimanded Du Hair Care, he immediately expressed his obedience and no longer harassed his neighbors, and he also "thought about it behind closed doors", looking like a good baby, this posture is enough for Guo Xiaoke.

As long as the city-states respect the majesty of the Metropolitan Protectorate and obey the orders of the Metropolitan Protectorate, everything else can be ignored - even if there is a river of blood in the city of Huggall, even if there is a tragedy of cannibalism there.

In the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, Guo Xiaoke, the protector of the Western Regions, led his troops to attack the Qiuzi Kingdom, which was not subject to the management of the capital and colluded with the Turks. He was accidentally shot by a stray arrow in front of the battle and died, and died on the battlefield.

Replacing Guo Xiaoke is Chai Zhewei, a relative of the Tang Dynasty.

Chai Zhewei is the son of Taizong's half-sister Princess Pingyang, Princess Pingyang made great contributions when her father and brother raised troops to establish the Tang Dynasty, and she trained a team of female soldiers, known as the "Women's Army". The famous pass on the Great Wall, "Niangzi Pass", comes from the garrison of the Niangzi Army.

A thousand years later, Niangziguan built a power plant, surrounded by residential buildings for the plant's employees. The power plant is far away from the surrounding counties, and the long nights are long, and there is no recreation. So a cadre of the power plant sat in front of the window, looked up at the starry sky, bowed his head to write, and passed the time.

This person is the famous science fiction writer Liu Cixin, who later wrote "The Three-Body Problem" and "The Wandering Earth".

In short, Chai Zhewei is the son of a horse and a descendant of the royal family, and he is much more confident than Guo Xiaoke, who switched from the Wagang Army to the Tang Army, at least in the matter of asking for resources from the imperial court, he wants soldiers and soldiers, money and money, and grain and grain.

Looking further down, in fact, the killing in the city of Huggall Valley was not without reported information.

[In the spring of the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, there was a caravan from Yizhou to Big and Small Bolu. The caravan left the country of Shache and headed west, encountering strong winds and sand on the way, "covering the sky and the sun, and not knowing the west and east". The guide of the team proposed, "From this path to the north, there is a country called the West Night, and a city called Huqian Valley, which was originally a commercial road, and the county (hanging) in the desert, closed the door and locked the house, and never came out again." You can't enter today, you can't retreat, why not enter the city in the north and take shelter from the wind and sand for the time being. ”

The merchant and his retinue took the guide's advice, and they began to hide from the wind and sand and sail north, and by the afternoon of the next day, when the wind and sand had subsided, they could faintly see a city ahead.

"The yellow sand is confused, like a floating city. There is a colossus standing in the city, like a large floating massage, stopping at the waist and hips, and the legs are clear. ”】

……

As I continued reading, the wind and sand had subsided, and the caravan was in a hurry, so they consulted and decided not to enter the city for the time being, but to turn south and return the way they came, and continue their journey.

It can be seen that at that time, the Western Night Kingdom called Gandra Valley City, and had already begun to build the huge statue of the god with the strength of the whole country.

This caravan was not only doing business at that time, but after the Tang Dynasty resumed its rule over the Western Regions, they also shouldered the mission of opening up the trade route from east to west, leading to the Great and Small Bolu Trade Routes. Therefore, they recorded all the things they saw and heard along the way, and reported them to the Anxi Metropolitan Protector and the Governor of Yizhou, leaving the penultimate document about the Western Night Kingdom in the Zhaoqili Document.

As for the penultimate part, it is a complaint from Khotan. In the pleading, Chi Yikang, the prince of Khotan, described how he led a caravan westward and almost was caught and eaten because he strayed into Huqian Valley, the capital of the Western Night Kingdom, to avoid the wind and sand.

Wei Chi Yikang desperately escaped, he was already frightened, and he could only go all the way east and flee back to Khotan. He reported this to his father, and the king was so shocked that he hurriedly asked the messenger to hurry up and deliver a complaint to the capital protector Chai Zhewei.

In the complaint, the king of Khotan described the evils of the Western Night Kingdom in horrific strokes.

["The people of the kingdom are as mad as ghosts. Plundering the merchant travelers and dismantling the carcass. The meat is cooked and fed, and the bones are cut to make an image. Self-extinguishing gods and Buddhas, and worshipping the charm alone. The people in the city are inhuman. And he said in vain: When the statue is opened, the world will fall. May I protect the Tang Dynasty, strive for its might, exhaust the demonic atmosphere, and clear the ...... of Xiyu"]

Needless to say, when he saw this complaint, Chai Zhewei must have been stunned.

- Didn't you think about it behind closed doors? Aren't you a good baby? Why do you have to do things again, and you have to do big things?!

It turns out that it is okay to invade the surrounding small countries. Because of the barren land and poor living environment, there are not many cases of attacking and looting each other among the city-states in the Western Regions. In general, in this case, as long as Anxi Dadu Hu coordinates in the middle, everyone will be obedient, and honestly no longer fight, and the matter will be over.

But now, what the hell are you doing in the Western Night Country!

If you kill your own people, you can kill the captives, I can turn a blind eye, but you still rob the merchants! You must know that the Western Regions is basically based on commerce, and the city-states all rely on protecting business travelers and collecting travel fees and commercial taxes for a living.

Originally, it was a transaction to open a toll station and a service area, and you just handed over a fucking ticket and collected a toll, but you actually robbed openly with a knife at the toll station, and killed all the merchants and ate them all, who will you fight if you don't beat you!

What's more, you still make a statue of the god of Tongtian, and say that you want to destroy the whole world, you are not killing chickens to take eggs, you are going to serve all the chicken nests!
