As soon as Duan Zan arrived in Chang'an City with his soldiers and horses, he was summoned by His Majesty.

Of course, Duan Zhan's soldiers and horses still brought a lot of gold when they came back, but not as much as Pei Xingjian brought.

There was a lot of gold in Great Food and Persia, but their land was barren.

Datang has fertile land, but it does not have so much gold.

In the Sifang Pavilion, someone is talking about the situation of Persia and the Great Food.

Shangguan Yi and Li Zhi no longer spoke, but quietly listened to the discussions of the people around them, and the war situation in the West was in full swing.

Liang Jianfang, as the general of the Western Expedition, after losing Pei Xingjian's command, the war also began to go wild, although there were losses in soldiers and horses, it was still a triumphant advance.

Liang Jianfang with 30,000 soldiers and horses had swept through the Gilgan Mountains, and further west he was ready to attack Babylon.

And Zhang Shigui's soldiers and horses arrived near the Caspian Sea and transported grain and grass to the front army.

A man from the Western Regions hurriedly came and told the people in the Sifang Pavilion the news from the court.

Shangguan Yi sat upright and listened carefully to everyone's discussions, and whispered: "It seems that Duan Zan has reported to His Majesty." ”

Everyone said that the Gauls in the west were attacking the rear of the Great Cannibals, led by the Roman king Heraclius.

Li Zhi said: "I heard my brother-in-law say that they have rose sugar, olives, and various spices that are scarce in our Central Plains. ”

Shangguan Yi closed his eyes and did not answer, but listened quietly to the discussion.

Now that the Great Cannibal is under attack, Musab retreated to Jerusalem, wanting to use the terrain of the Holy City to defend against the Tang and Gauls.

Li Zhi stood up with chopsticks, drew a picture on the table, and said in a low voice: "This is a strait, and it is indeed very good for defense." ”

A Turk shouted and walked into the Quadrangle.

The man was still wearing armor and had a large scar on his face, and he only listened to him shout in Turkic, and finally his eyes fell on a scribe.

The discussion in the Sifang Pavilion had stopped, and the person who came forward picked up the scribe and asked loudly, "Where is Zhang Yang!" ”

Shangguan Yi frowned and said in a low voice, "This is the Turkic people of the Western Expedition. ”

On the western expedition were not only the Tang people, but also the Uighurs and Turks.

Li Zhi stood up and gave Gongsun the little lady a look.

With a wave of her hand, a group of Yulin Guards and Forbidden Army controlled the Turkic man, whose hair was thin, his hair was knotted and clumped, and he hadn't been groomed for a long time.

"You Dons! We are born and die for the sake of the Heavenly Khan, let go! ”

The Turks were about to go crazy with red eyes.

Not long after, Li Yifu also came with people, he was wearing an official robe and walked over.

Many foreign envoys from the Sifang Pavilion retreated to the side, and some foreign envoys whispered that the Turks who made trouble dared to make trouble in the territory of Li Yifu, and most of them did not end well.

"Why are you making trouble here, this Turk?"

When Li Yifu saw someone, he spoke softly.

The Turkic struggled and shouted angrily, "I want to see Zhang Yang!" ”

Li Yifu said with a smile: "The Marquis of Lishan County is also what you say you can see?" ”

"We have worked hard for Tian Khan and Lishan County for so long, can't we see each other! You Tang people don't want to bully me! ”

Li Yifu bowed his head and said, "Name." ”

"I'm Ashnadur!"

Hearing this name, Li Yifu's expression moved, and he couldn't be more familiar with this name.

After the war in Xue Yantuo, Ashinadur went to the Western Regions.

Later, under the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, he went to the four towns of Anxi, which was five years ago, it was the ninth year of Zhenguan, and one year before Pei Xingjian went to the Western Regions.

Looking at Ashinadur's embarrassed appearance, most of his beard and hair have turned white in the past few years when he went to Persia.

Li Yifu said in a deep voice: "You go with this official." ”

As soon as Yu Linwei's forbidden army let go of his hand, Ashina Dur slapped the table again, "I want to see Zhang Yang!" ”

Outside the Sifang Pavilion, An Yanyan looked at this Turkic man who was about to go crazy from a distance.

His fate was dominated by Tian Khan and the Marquis of Lishan County for so long, and now he has returned to Chang'an.

When they were in Persia together, An Yanyan still admired this Turkic Tieler, although he had a lot of complaints about the Tian Khan and the Tang people.

But since receiving the will of the Heavenly Khan, he has not flinched in the face of the great cannibals in the face of Persia.

Songtsen Gamp preached: "Do you know this person? ”

An Yanyan said in a low voice: "A poor man who has been dominated by Tian Khan and the Marquis of Lishan County for many years. ”

Songtsen Gampo said, "He is not the only one, aren't you too?" ”

An Yanyan smiled and said, "No, I have an agreement with Tian Khan, and I am different from him. ”

In the Sifang Pavilion, Li Yifu saluted and said, "Disturb His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you take someone to settle him first." ”

"Whoa."

Li Yifu glanced back at Ashinadur again, "You come with this official." ”

Ashinadur glared at the Tang Forbidden Army behind him.

Chang'an City is very prosperous, there are many pedestrians on Suzaku Street, just after Chinese New Year's Eve, it is even more crowded at the moment.

Li Yifu took Ashinadur to the Ministry of Rites.

Because the war report from the West came, Zhang Daan didn't rest for too long, and he was also dealing with various matters in the Ministry of Rites these days.

Seeing the visitor, Zhang Da'an only raised his head slightly, and then continued to approve the official documents to be sent to the various capitals, and asked, "Brother Yifu, wait a minute." ”

Li Yifu walked up to him and gestured with his eyes, "This is Ashinadur." ”

The pen in Zhang Da'an's hand stopped, and he looked up again at this rudely dressed Turkic man, wearing a Tang man's armor on him, which was a little awkward.

The Ministry of Rites has changed four, from the king of Hejian County to Zhang Yang, and from Xu Jingzong to Zhang Da'an.

Many things about this Ashinadur were also arranged by Zhang Yang at the beginning.

Zhang Da'an bowed his head and said: "Then take him to Lishan, as for whether the county marquis sees him or not, it has nothing to do with us." ”

Li Yifu said worriedly: "I'm afraid that this person will break in." ”

Zhang Da'an said lightly: "You can't break in." ”

"Well, the lower official will arrange it."

The weather was still cold, and Ashnadur was breathing from his nostrils, and even hot air was coming out.

As the young secretary of Honglu Temple, and concurrently leading the work of arranging foreign envoys, Li Yifu was a little annoyed, and he couldn't ignore this person.

"Since the Ministry of Rites has said so, the official can only take you to see the Marquis of Lishan County, as for whether you can see it, it all depends on the meaning of the county marquis."

Ashnadur said in a deep voice: "I have killed so many people in Persia, the county marquis should see me." ”

Li Yifu frowned and glanced at him, always feeling that this Ashinadur was a little strange, why did he insist on seeing Zhang Yang so stubbornly, and said: "Let me tell you, there are many people who have worked hard for Tian Khan and Lishan County Marquis in this world, and there is no shortage of you, and most of you can't see this county marquis." ”

"Even ......"

Li Yifu wanted to say that he had only met the Marquis of Lishan County twice, but he finally swallowed this sentence.

Walk all the way east along the official road outside Chang'an City, and after seeing the Wei River, you will know that Lishan is not far away.

After walking a little further, I saw the railroad tracks laid on the road, and when I looked up, I saw a beautiful mountain.

This mountain is Lishan Mountain.

"There are many people who admire the county marquis, and even fewer people can see the county marquis, if the county marquis doesn't see you today, I hope you will give up, this Chang'an is not a place to let you be presumptuous."

Ashinadur's gaze looked directly at Lishan.

When he arrived at the front of the village, Li Yifu turned over and dismounted to explain his intentions, and asked the guards here to report to him.

After a while, the guards came out again, "The county marquis said that he is not free at the moment. ”

Li Yifu asked: "This Ashinadur has to see the county marquis." ”

The guard replied: "Then it depends on when the county marquis is free." ”

“……”

"Stop!" The guards on the side shouted.

Li Yifu looked sideways and saw Ashina Dur running into the village, and scolded in his heart, "He is his mother!" ”

It's just that as soon as he ran a few steps, he was escorted to the ground by ten guards, and the officers and soldiers of the Longwu Army also surrounded him.

When Ashinadur looked up again, a horizontal knife was already in front of him.

Li Yifu said anxiously: "Why do you want to be like this? ”

"Me! I want to see the county marquis! ”

Ashinadur's roar resounded throughout the four fields, alarming the people in the village, and people came to see it one after another.

Zhang Yang was already fishing by the Weishui River, not far from the location where Ashinadur was.

Xiao Wu first glanced at Xiao Qingqing and said in a low voice, "Master, do you want to drive this person away?" ”

"I want to see the county marquis!"

He yelled again.

Zhang Yang said discouragedly: "There must be someone to explain, go and meet." ”

"Hmm."

Taking down the hat on his head, Zhang Yang put away the fishing rod and walked to the entrance of the village step by step.

Ashinadur was pressed to the ground, struggling with his head, and his cheek was pressed against the ground.

"Lift people up."

"But ......"

"Get people to stand up and talk."

"Whoa."

He heard the conversation, felt his hands and feet loosen a lot, and slowly stood up, his eyes falling on a young man.

Ashinadur knew that he couldn't help these guards, so he threw himself at the young man with all his strength and wanted to take him hostage.

"Boom!"

A horizontal knife came out of the sheath, and in a flash, the blade was against Ashinadur's throat.

Xiao Wu's movements were sharp, and in the blink of an eye, he was already standing in front of Zhang Yang with a knife, his eyes were full of anger, and he said coldly: "You dare to move again!" ”

Ashinadur's throat was already bloodstained, and as long as he moved again, this little girl would really be a killer.

The women around the county marquis are not good people.

Ashinadur breathed through his nostrils and froze in place.

The officers and soldiers of the Longwu Army also surrounded him in response, raising their knives at this Turkic man.

Li Yifu stepped forward quickly and hurriedly said: "It was the recklessness of the lower officials who disturbed the county marquis." ”

He looked back at Ashinadur and shouted: "A certain family has brought you to see the county marquis, you are so bold, dare to assassinate!" I don't want to live anymore. ”

"No wonder you want to see the county marquis, it turned out that you wanted to assassinate, and the court is still considering a reward for you, and now it seems that today in the coming year will be your ......"

The words are not finished yet.

Ashinadur said loudly: "The Tang people killed my uncle, and I want him to pay for his life!" ”

Zhang Yang looked at him and said slowly: "Your uncle is Jieli Khan?" ”

"Yes!"

"Hmm." Zhang Yang bowed his head and said: "That's right, your Ashina family are all relatives, and you were the Khan of Jieli back then...... That was many years ago. ”

As he spoke, he patted his daughter on the back again and asked, "Scared?" ”

Xiao Qingqing raised her chin and said, "My daughter is not afraid." ”

Ashina Duer shouted again: "You return my uncle's life!" ”

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "It has not been easy for you in the past few years, Tian Khan will give you enough rewards, and the soldiers of the Western Expedition will not suffer." ”

"By the way, the Turks are doing well now, and they obey the orders of the little Khan of the association."

A fast horse came towards Lishan, the person who came was Li Junxian in the palace, he rode to the front of everyone, and said loudly: "Ashinadur, don't be presumptuous!" ”

Zhang Yang bowed his head and said: "In the first battle of Yinshan back then, Jieli Khan was captured in Chang'an, he was the loser, and his life and death were naturally up to Tian Khan." ”

Ashinadur glared at each other.

Li Junxian said in a deep voice: "Tie up!" Take! ”

"Whoa!"

"Hahaha!" He laughed maniacally, almost madly, and his laughter was a little desolate.

watched Li Junxian lead someone to escort him away.

Li Yifu was curious: "Huh? Don't you take him to Chang'an City? ”

Zhang Yang glanced at the direction in which Ashina Dur left, and was suddenly shocked in his heart, and asked for a war horse from the Long Wujun on the side, and also followed.

Xiao Qingqing was curious: "What is Daddy going to do?" ”

Xiao Wu put away the horizontal knife and said softly: "There may be some old things to do, let's go home." ”

"Okay."

Ashinadur was tied to a horse, and Zhang Yang followed Li Junxian's party all the way to Weibei, where there was a village with a separate hut on the edge of the village.

In front of the house sat an old man, laughing with a group of children.

Zhang Yang grabbed the reins and stood in the distance watching, and saw Li Junxian leading people to this old man.

Ashnadur suddenly knelt down, holding the old man's hand.

Zhang Yang let the horse under him slowly approach, and finally saw the face of this old man, his beard was white, and he saw him take two steps, only to realize that he was lame.

Finally, the old man's gaze also came.

The past comes back to mind one by one, and that was nine years ago.

Zhang Yang smiled with relief, and said secretly in his heart: Yes, the simple big Kong Ming lantern that Jieli Khan was sitting on at that time didn't know where he had floated.

Later, no one saw his corpse, and the Heavenly Khan never spoke of his life or death.

It turned out that he was not dead, he was in the Chang'an realm.

It was uncomfortable to see a man in his forties crying, and Ashinadur knelt on the ground, looking at Jieli and only choked up.

Zhang Yang asked the horse to go back, thinking that maybe Ashinadur wanted to annex all the grasslands when he saw that Jieli was gone.

Thinking of family affection, how could Ashinadur not remember it in his heart.

Zhang Yang sighed and said to himself: "Tian Khan, your plan is really deep enough, if he hadn't come to make trouble today, I'm afraid I wouldn't know if he lived or died when Jieli died." ”

Whether it is to win the hearts of the people, or to emphasize righteousness and benevolence, under Li Shimin's strong personal charm, the courage to make the heroes and heroes of the world pacify the Central Plains is still there, how can there be no means.

In the future, Ashina Dur should really support Datang.

Good intentions, such a powerful means of manipulating people.

In terms of means of subduing people's hearts, Tian Khan is still superior.

Nine years passed, and Tian Khan only sat in the palace and arranged a few things, and completely controlled Ashnadur's life.
