Chapter 62: Shazhou Zhang Xuan

"You are my Tang Dynasty's Chang'an County Cheng from the seventh grade, and there are good brothers like me and Guo Rong, how can you not know the soldiers and the generals!"

"I said a long time ago that you should come out and have a look if you have the chance, don't stay in Chang'an all the time, you say yes, Guo Rong!"

"Yes!"

Guo Rong, who came back to his senses, nodded and looked at the soldiers who were still waiting for orders below.

"But, Brother Rufeng, shouldn't we go?"

"Everyone, listen to my orders, pull out the camp!"

With the order given, the temporary camp in a defensive state was quickly revived, and the non-commissioned officers of the Divine Ce went about their duties under the command of their respective officers, and after a quarter of an hour they moved back on their feet.

Before dusk, the team arrived at the temporary camp that had been built by Yuan Zhen and others who had arrived earlier.

The arrival of Guo Rong, Li Rui and others was warmly welcomed by the caravan.

In the face of the Tang army that saved himself from the sky, the caravan was grateful, and the leader of the caravan, Zhang Xuan, held a banquet in the camp, and Zhang Xuan's kindness naturally would not be refused.

After completing the deployment and determining the officers on duty at night, Liu Zongyuan, Wei Guanzhi, Li Rui, Guo Rong, Lu Shishi, Yuan Zhen and other members of the Ministry of Rites were all present.

As for the other Tang troops who were not present, the caravan also took out a large amount of wine and meat to eat and treat them with a good understanding.

However, the Tang army had strict military discipline, at least in the Shence army directly led by Li Rui, the military discipline was strict, and the wine in the enemy-occupied area was absolutely not allowed to be touched during the war, but the meat was all laughed at, and all the soldiers had a full meal.

At the banquet, Zhang Xuan, the leader of the caravan, wept even more excitedly, and after learning that Guo Rong was the team escorting Princess Xian'an back to the Tang Realm, he directly asked to go south with the team.

After considering the chaotic situation of the Mobei grassland now, and determined that they were indeed Tang people, and there was a caravan that could provide supplies for themselves, so everyone agreed to it.

All this seemed to be fine, including Guo Rong didn't feel anything wrong, knowing that Lu Shishi walked into Guo Rong's ear and said a word.

"I seem to have seen this Zhang Xuan!"

"Huh?"

Guo Rong, who was already slightly drunk, was directly nervous, and left quickly with Lu Shishi.

"Do you know this Zhang Xuan?"

"Guo Lang, do you remember when we were in Xizhou, we temporarily took in our caravan?"

"Of course!"

"That caravan belongs to the Yin clan of the Shazhou clan, my Yan clan is the Shazhou clan, and my father was the leader of the Shazhou clan in the past, but there is not only my Yan family in the sandbank, but also the Shazhou clan such as Zhang, Yin, Suo, and Li!"

"In the past, Hexi all fell, and Shazhou was able to hold on for more than ten years because my father received the full support of Zhang, Yin, Suo, Li and other clans!"

"Later, my whole family was poisoned by the Tubo people on the way to Luocheng City, and then the children of the Zhang family served as the governor of Shazhou, the highest official position among the Tang people, if I remember correctly, this Zhang Xuan is the son of the Zhang family of Shazhou, and the caravan is likely to be the caravan of the Zhang family of Shazhou!"

Shazhou Zhang's family, Guo Rong can only think of one name in his mind, Zhang Yichao!

"Fourteen Lang, just say what you want to say directly, don't hesitate, what is the relationship between the two of us!"

"I feel that Zhang Xuan should have other purposes today, if possible, help Zhang Xuan and them as much as possible, my escape from the sandbank is exactly what the Zhang family told me, over the years, the Zhang family has united with other big clans, one is fighting against the Tubo people, and has been quietly accumulating strength!"

"Good! I understand! ”

Returning to the banquet, Guo Rong began to observe Zhang Xuan carefully, and soon Guo Rong heard a trace of the same Hexi taste as Lu Shishi from Zhang Xuan's accent.

After a few rounds of pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the few people who were invited to the banquet were in a good mood, and Zhang Xuan spoke again.

"I don't know what you are going to do with the more than 200 young men who were rescued from the hands of the Tubo people?"

"If Zhang Saburo has any thoughts, please speak clearly!"

"Today's attack, my caravan has suffered a lot of losses, you have the emperor's order, if you abandon or release the grassland, you may not become the enemy of the Tang Dynasty in the future, or be captured by the Tubo people again, if you bring these...... If there is any inconvenience, can I ......?"

It turned out to be for these people, no wonder they were so willing to spend money, after knowing Zhang Xuan's true purpose, Guo Rong smiled, or Lu Shishi, oh no, Yan Qing knows more about these Hexi clans.

For decades, the big clan of Shazhou probably relied on these small tricks to make a fool of themselves with the Tubo people, and waited until the civil strife in Tubo and Zhang Yichao sprung up.

More than 200 young and strong, this is the number of a regiment in the Tang Army, knowing Zhang Xuan's identity, you can roughly guess Zhang Xuan's purpose, helping him is helping himself......

I don't know if Zhang Yichao is born now......

After a night of feasting, all parties returned with a full load, Zhang Xuan got the more than 200 young men he wanted, Li Rui got the supplies he was most worried about when marching on the grassland, and Wei Guanzhi was comfortable alone.

What really surprised Guo Rong was that he was in a state of distribution, and everyone looked at him like Liu Zongyuan, a member of the Ministry of Rites, who owed him hundreds of dollars.

Under Zhang Xuan's compliment, the drunken Liu Zongyuan suddenly became interested in today's war.

Subsequently, Yuan Zhen, Lu Shishi, Wang Zheng, Yu Qian, Degang and others restored the entire process of today's battle as witnesses, directly giving Liu Zongyuan an immersive feeling.

A battle that happened in front of him, the Tang army won an overwhelming victory, but he didn't have the opportunity to come in person, which made Liu Zongyuan beat his chest and pause, but also gave Liu Zongyuan, who was in a very bad mood, a great encouragement.

After all, Liu Zongyuan is also a pure man, and he is also a hot-blooded man whose blood has not been completely solidified.

Liu Zongyuan's resentment and dissatisfaction, which had been stuck in his heart for many days, dissipated, and he wrote "The Journey to the Grassland Banquet".

"In the past, I thought I was a servant, I went out of Chang'an and entered the grassland, my heart was not at peace, and I was always worried. His heart, his deeds, will never be taken off. Giving and doing, wandering, muddy, and doing nothing......

...... July 13 this year, the ...... in the past, now the barbarians are ravaging the world,...... There are sharp men in heaven and earth, the Han family is always there, there are three households in Chu that can die in Qin, and there are three hundred strong men...... Save my mountains and rivers and ......

It's the age of Yu, and Yu was ordered by the emperor to welcome the eldest princess,...... Then I knew that my ambition had not begun. Therefore, it is written for the will. It's the year, and the first year of Yongzhen is also. ”

The pen fell, the wine was drunk, Liu Zongyuan fell asleep with his head covered, and snoring loudly for a while......

Of course, there were also unhappy things that night, such as the Tubo commander who committed suicide and was captured alive, although Guo Rong knew the cruelty of the war, but the means were still slightly worse than the veteran Youzi in the Shence army.

Another brigade commander under Li Rui, Tan Zhen, who was scolded by Yuan Zhen for being a stinking man, made the captured Tubo commander regret that he had ever existed in this world.
