However, after seeing the prosperous army and excellent military armor of this army outside the city on the east city tower, the left minister began to be glad that he did not catch up with the initiative to go out of the city to fight; otherwise, with the newly settled people, they would not be able to withstand these newly victorious foreign troops in the field; after all, they were the Guiyi Army, who had been with each other for several generations and were quite familiar with each other.

Especially when he saw another army with his own eyes that was carrying various Dharani sutras and guardian flags of the heavens, and also wrote "Daoism and Protecting the Way" and "Raising the Dharma" and "Raising the Dharma"; he felt extremely confused and incredible. He knew all these words, but they were confused when they added together. But at least he understood one thing, if he forced the soldiers and horses in the city to attack, he might be the result of being self-disturbant without fighting or even turning against each other.

But at least he was quite confident in defending the capital Xicheng; because, as one of the four towns in Anxi and the largest city-state, this royal city with a radius of more than ten miles and a wall of four and a half meters has not been tested by war for decades. Even when King Khotan was supported by his subjects, he had already achieved success from within.

He had no choice but to stick to it, and then wait for Turkic species such as the nine surnames, Wuhu, Yangmo, and Gelu, north of the desert (Takramagan), to receive the conditions of sending envoys to send troops to support him; as for the Anxi Uighurs, who were once powerful and sometimes overwhelmed all sides, I am afraid that at this moment, the Khan Lord himself had lost to the Central Plains because he lost to the Central Plains and was also trapped in civil strife without a master's struggle for the throne.

In this way, the foreign army, which mobilized many troops from afar, had to lead their troops to retreat if they were unable to attack for a long time and were still threatened by external threats. In this way, he could at least recover a relatively broken land of Khotan and slowly rebuilt and gather strength. However, when he was looking forward to such a grand vision, he saw a royal city guard who was sent to the city gates and his family to guard the city gates everywhere, ran around in panic and shouted:

"The big picture is not good, Ximen is broken..."

Then, the left minister couldn't help but look at the faint smoke and dust rising, and the shouts of killing around the royal city were heard. Then, when he was furious, he led the team through the east-west and east-west streets and wanted to rush into the royal city to hold on, but he bumped into another group of his own children who came to report the news:

"Zheng Chancellor, something is wrong. Nanjiao Gate was opened to Yingdi.."

At this moment, the left minister, who felt as if he was beaten out of thin air and beat all his revenge and ambitions, had no choice but to grit his teeth and ordered all his troops to turn around and run towards the south gate where he arranged his confidant and son-in-law to guard; he wanted to escape from this royal city that was already dissatisfied and flee back to the territory of his family that had been run for generations, located in the northwest of Pushan City (now Pishan County, Xinjiang).

However, just as he was surrounded by his loyal ministers, his family generals and his troops, he rushed into the southern gate of the capital, guarded by his confidant and son-in-law, with the wolf and the rat. When he couldn't wait to rush out of the city, the big barbed iron bars and railings that suddenly descended from the city gate intercepted and surrounded the large group of people behind him in the semi-arcoustic small urn city;

In an instant, many knights who could not hold back rushed directly into these obstacles, causing shocking noises and curses, screams, and bloody and wounded, rolling into a ball. The left minister and a small number of followers who had already rushed out of the city looked like earth and looked desperately at the long ambush that emerged from the rivers and fields in the four fields.

With the re-pacification of the capital of Khotan and the Baoshu King who had been in office for only one day abdicated again, he then took a carriage to Chang'an to "apologize" to the new dynasty; perhaps he would never have the chance to return to his hometown in his life. The fourth prince Yuchi Rama, who had fled abroad for help, was not surprisingly and naturally. At the repeated requests of the remaining ministers, officials, ministers, and people of the capital, the old empress dowager wore the golden crown of the Rat King; thus becoming a new generation of Rama King.

Then, the newly released Rama King quickly replaced the traditional royal robes of Khotan, and put on the royal crowns and robes given by the Emperors of the Tang Dynasty in the East China period, stood in front of the Qifeng Tower and respectfully accepted the ceremony of canonization and posthumous awards from the Xin Dynasty in Chang'an. He then became the eleventh governor of the Vaisha Governor's Office, and invited the Xin Dynasty to garrison the town to protect the territory and protect the commercial route.

Then, in front of the heads of the monks and chief monks in the King Xing Temple in Xishan who came to hear the news, he vowed to the heaven and earth and Kunlun sacred mountain, and tried his best to restore and promote the Buddhist teachings of the Western Regions and even the land of India. Therefore, with the soup, cakes, wine and food that were placed on the streets that day, the musical instruments and singing and dancing that sounded again continued all night until the next day.

This time, the reactions of the subjects of the capital and their support for the new king were much more real than the forced smiles under the previous coercion of swords and guns. Because, this king not only invited foreign aids to quell the civil strife from the Guiyi Military Office, which was a traditional alliance but also had a close relationship with the local people. Even if he followed hundreds of rebellious families who were rebellious, he would only kill the evil and exiled the subordinates, and pardoned many of the coerced.

On the other hand, with the arrival of reinforcements, there were a large number of monks and masters from the East and the endless fleet of merchant troupes. Therefore, in the following days, in the major temples inside and outside the royal city, one Dharma Assembly for distinguishing scriptures and praying for blessings was held one after another; and various morning markets, small markets and markets that emerged like mushrooms after a rain also made the capital once again show a prosperous scene that had not been seen in many years.

After all, as the intersection of Tianshan North and South Road and the key and important town for Chinese and foreign business travelers on the Silk Road; the country of Khotan itself is produced by a contiguous oasis impacted by rivers in the southern end of the Taklamakan Desert, and the number of people that can be raised and maintained is ultimately limited. Therefore, as the industry that the country of Khotan relies on as a pillar, in addition to traditional jade mining and sales, it is a service industry that provides water supply and settlement for all parties that travel around the world.

Therefore, after the restoration under the rule of Tubo, the kings of all dynasties spared no effort to restore the river-the Western Regions trade route since ancient times; but due to many historical problems, they died regretfully without being able to do so; after all, after the collapse of Tubo, many large and small forces remained in the ruling areas.

The Uighur tribes that moved westward from the grassland include Ganzhou, Xizhou and Anxi, each with three surnames fighting each other. Then, there are Dangxiang, Tuhun (Tuyuhun), Tubo, Supi, Shanshan, Dadan and other plateaus migrated from the remaining tribes; local Tu tribes represented by the Long Family Zahu of Suzhou; there are also Wenmo, which is formed by the gathering of fugitives from various tribes enslaved by Tubo, which are divided into three major communities in the east, west and south.

Therefore, whether it is going south along the Kunlun Mountains-Qilian Mountains-Helan Mountains to Helan Mountains, or walking around the Chaotian Khan Avenue on the grasslands in Beiting, they are inevitably extorted and robbed by endless separatist forces; but at least this is still the object of negotiation. As for those who may encounter many horse thieves and sand thieves who are as numerous as cows and roaming like the wind, there are countless people and goods that are lost.

Therefore, at this starting point, the Kingdom of Khotan became a solid and stable traditional ally of the Guiyi Army. Since Zhang Yichao launched an army to resist Tubo, he always supported the Guiyi Army to unite all the troops in Hexi and became a stable force and regime. In fact, this goal was almost achieved back then. The Prince of Khotan, who followed the envoy of the Guiyi Army, and a large number of Western Regions merchants came to the Hajj to meet and received a banquet from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

What a wonderful era that was, as if the glory and grace of the Tang Dynasty had come back to these loyal ministers and states in the northwest. However, the good times did not last long. In a few years, the expansion of the Guiyi Army was forced to stop, because the imperial court of the uncle of the Tang Dynasty sent envoys to restrict the Guiyi Army from continuing to annex and rule the Uighur tribes in Xizhou after subduing the Ganzhou Uighurs. Then they were enthroned as a vassal on par with the Guiyi Army.

Then he cut off the land of Liangzhou and set up a separate Jiedushi to guard it with Taining troops, which cut off the longing for Guiyi Army to be promoted to Hexi Jiedushi. Then he advised Duke Chao to enter the court himself to make the court feel at ease. As a result, he lingered and wasted his life and death in Chang'an. However, he left a series of later worries and civil strife on the inheritance of Guiyi Army.

Therefore, Yuchi Wana, the former king of Khotan, was willing to lead a healthy man to fight against the Central Plains at the invitation of Zheng Ting, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, to lead a military force to help fight against Zhongtu. It was also moved by the many conditions he promised to reopen the trade route. It was just that it was full of irony that after the former king was defeated in death for this, the trade route to the south was reopened, and the messengers of the new dynasty and more business travelers from all over the East were welcomed.

Therefore, at this time, not many people wanted to do anything for the king who chose the wrong camp and embarked on the road of no return. Even the Buddhist monks who have been supported and supported by the royal family for generations are the same. Because most of them were moved by the great ambitions of reviving many Buddhist countries in the Western Regions described by the envoys from the New Dynasty and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack the ancestral land of India and unable to do so.

As Buddhists who are pure and desire-free and self-disciplined, they naturally do not believe any messenger's promises and remarks of empty words or lotus flowers; but with the enormous army that followed as endorsements and testimony, as well as the same large-scale Middle-earth monastic community and caravans from all over the world, it is difficult to say any doubts and resistance.

Because these monks from Middle-earth formed a subtle relationship with them, which undoubtedly had both competition and cooperation; if they did not want to be replaced by others, they could only try their best to participate and do their part to restore the Buddha's kingdom; and the interest trend represented by merchants and business groups was their optimism for the prospects and futures.

Just like the rain that thirsty people in the desert encounter, it naturally moved most people along the Silk Road. After all, since ancient times, as an oasis city-state on the traditional trade line of East Asia and Northeast Asia, almost all rely on the large market and resource output of Middle-earth China to maintain the rise and fall. It is like the simple truth of the Belt and Road Initiative in later generations.

As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. Once a corresponding chain of interests and the foundation of people's livelihood is formed, the so-called empty democracy, freedom and backward religions will naturally fade the influence. On the other hand, as the last Buddhist land in the Western Regions, too many believers and people from all over the world who have fled in Khotan have gathered in recent years; therefore, it has also caused considerable social problems and survival pressure.

After all, no matter how powerful the Kingdom of Khotan is, it is a regime built on a basin oasis. Its domestic ecological carrying capacity is ultimately limited; and the consequence of the rebellion of the Three Princes is one of the reasons why the accumulated contradictions broke out. Therefore, when there is a chance to return to your homeland, these fugitives who are living under others also show enthusiasm.

Therefore, after only seven or eight days of renovation of the King of Khotan, a larger coalition force set out again; then divided the troops into two groups, one of which was a partial division began to follow the seasonal river oasis that crossed the desert (Taklamakan), and headed north to the former land of Qiemo (near Qiemo County, Xinjiang). The other route was accompanied by a large number of monks and most of the merchant regiments, and drove westward to Yaerkan (the old land of Shache) along the traditional trade route.

On a specially modified high-wheeled cart in the marching pack horse queue, Wang Poxian, who is now the largest tea merchant in the new dynasty, was also speaking to Dou Maoli, who was also the first in the East City.

"Don't feel embarrassed, this is comparable to the feat of Bo Wanghou (Zhang Qian) who digs out the Western Regions!"

"What's more, when the group of Dingyuan was rampant with thirty-six people, they took their kings, and killed them if they wanted to kill them. If they wanted to fly, they would fly. Now we have tens of thousands of troops to support, and there is a whole new dynasty as the backing!"

"Not to mention that not only do not have the strengths of the Huns now, the lord of the new dynasty also valued the achievements of the border, and advocated that everyone can achieve their power outside the territory. As long as you and I have accomplished their own achievements along the way, are you afraid that you will not have the reward for titles?"

"Since ancient times, we have always been fame and fortune, but now our stinky people have the opportunity to win titles and honors with their ability to breed goods and trade. Even the most ordinary people and sirs are good, so why not go to each other!"
