727 Double Happiness

Previous Chapter

Judging from the content on this stone tablet, the favorite concubine who died of a strange illness was named Harinur, and his father was the famous Qarakhanid monarch Arir Khan.

From this point of view, this marriage was actually the result of the reconciliation between the Qarakhanid Dynasty and the Tangut Dynasty.

"Li Yuanhao is twenty years older than this Princess Harinur, and according to this time, when this princess got married, she was only about fourteen years old?"

"What's this? In ancient times, women were almost at this age when they got married, old husbands and young wives, and it was very flowery to play! ”

"It's not that simple, the inscription says that Ariel Khan of the Qarakhanid Dynasty has only such a daughter, who has been regarded as a pearl in her palm since she was a child, and marries her daughter to a person who is enough to be her father, and she is also a concubine, there must be a problem here."

Lin Yi turned to the back of the stele and continued to study the words on it.

The answer lies in the inscription at the back.

"I see! The reason for the harmony was found, Ariel Khan married his young daughter to Western Xia, one was to find a reliable home for his daughter, and the other was to take this opportunity to establish a 'Weng-in-law relationship' with Western Xia, borrow troops from Western Xia, and go to war with Yu Tian. ”

According to historical records, by the time of the Song Dynasty, there were only three major forces left in the Western Regions.

Among them, Yutian and the Qarakhanid Dynasty fought for many years and did not give in to each other.

The war between the Qarakhanid and Yutian dynasties lasted for more than a century, beginning in the late 10th century and ending in the early 11th century.

However, after the accession of the Qarakhanid Dynasty's Ariel Khan, the offensive and defensive forces were different, and the Qarakhanid Dynasty defeated the Yutian Dynasty on the battlefield one after another, drove it back to its own territory, and recovered a large part of the Qarakhanid Dynasty's land.

The Yutian Dynasty launched many crazy counterattacks, but in the end they failed to recover the decline.

It was not until later that the Yutian Dynasty took advantage of the emptiness of Ariel Khan's westward expedition to launch a counterattack, but after Ariel Khan returned to defend in time, the two sides launched a fierce battle for half a year.

The Qarakhanid army surrounded the Eksa Castle south of the city of Kashgar.

Yutian's army broke through, but after the breakthrough was successful, only thirty percent of the troops remained, and the losses were heavy, and Ariel Khan won the war, but also paid a heavy price.

However, there was a large gap in the national strength between the two countries, and although Ariel Khan defeated Yu Tian, it only took Yu Tian two years to make a comeback and launch the last and most ferocious attack on the Qarakhanid Dynasty.

It gathered 150,000 troops, including the reinforcements provided by the Gaochang round, the Ganzhou round, and the Tubo round, and entered the Kargar region with an absolute advantage in numbers.

It was just before the start of this battle that Ariel Khan sent his jewel, Princess Harinur, to Western Xia.

This time he made peace with him, and brought him five thousand Xixia iron horses.

"Five thousand iron horsemen? Good guy, does this old man really dare to speak? ”

In terms of the current establishment, 5,000 iron cavalry is equivalent to a reinforced brigade, and it is also cavalry, the most combat-effective branch of the army in ancient wars.

"Back then, Boss Cao's 'tiger and leopard riders' were only more than 5,000 people, which was enough for him to fight the world.

Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng both felt that this "price code" was a bit incredible.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness of these 5,000 cavalry, as far as the Western Xia Kingdom is concerned, there are Mongolia and Daliao in the north, and Song in the east.

However, this is also a family matter, and no matter how much outsiders evaluate it, it will not help.

Judging from the results, this "bride price money" can be regarded as smashed in his hands.

After the reinforcements of the Western Xia Kingdom arrived, the two sides launched a protracted war, and in the end, the Qarakhanid Dynasty still failed to resist the attack of the Tian State, and was broken by the other party.

Historically, the war between these two countries has been recorded solely because of the struggle for territory.

But in the inscription in front of me, there is one thing:

From the root, these two countries belong to the same root and ancestor, and their common ancestor is Jingjue, that is, the descendants of the Dongqiang people.

What they are really fighting for is the identity of the Exquisite Orthodoxy, and the "Liangzhou Ding" that once appeared in the murals of the Exquisite Ancient City.

Seeing this, Lin Yi was stunned.

Since he, Wang Qiang, Bai Lu and others came out of the exquisite ancient city of the Western Regions, the clue of "Liangzhou Ding" has been completely broken.

Later, he never came into contact with any information about it.

They once thought that the "Liangzhou Ding" had been completely lost, and there was no way to find it.

Unexpectedly, the news of it appeared again was in Li Yuanhao's tomb.

"You read that right, Lao Lin, is it really 'Liangzhou Ding'? Are you sure it's the 'Liangzhou Ding' that was given to the Queen Mother of the West by King Zhou Mu? ”

"That's what the inscription says, and I'm not sure what it's going on."

"That's right! If you write an epitaph, there is no reason to deceive people, if you make up nonsense here, it won't be a fool'? ”

"Don't interrupt, let me see!"

Lin Yi continued to look down along the inscription.

The questions that puzzled them before were answered.

The fragment of "Liangzhou Ding" is actually in the hands of Ariel Khan, that is to say, the Qarakhanid Dynasty inherited the "Liangzhou Ding" of the exquisite country, and regarded it as a token of the jade seal of the country.

Although he only has a fragment in his hand, it must also be the core piece, otherwise it would not be possible to prove its identity at all.

Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and a smile bloomed on his face.

When I came to Helan Mountain this time, I wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain.

"See what? Joy like this? Tell us about it! ”

Lin Yi stopped the flashlight on the key content of the stele and explained to them:

"We said just now that Li Yuanhao married a daughter-in-law and paid 5,000 cavalry, and the bride price is a bit heavy. In fact, Ariel Khan not only sent his daughter over, but also used the fragments of 'Liangzhou Ding' as a 'mortgage', which can be regarded as borrowing 5,000 iron horses from Li Yuanhao.

If you want to calculate it this way, this bride price is really not heavy! ”

"Fragments of 'Liangzhou Ding'? According to this, there are not only 'Yuzhou Ding' that has been knocked into parts in this tomb, but also the fragments of 'Liangzhou Ding'? ”

Wang Qiang's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching upward, and the folds on his face were about to squeeze together.

"That's a good dare, we are killing two birds with one stone this time, double happiness is coming!" (End of chapter)
