Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Two
"First take the twelve prefectures in Shanxi, other elements will beat the head of the yamen.
Looking back at Qin Pass, it was as low as a horse, and the Yellow River flowed northward.
The power of heaven swirls across the Yellow River, and the Hu people all over the world sing the Han Dynasty.
Don’t be able to flow backwards from the mountains and go west to become Enbo.”
Shen Kuo of the Song Dynasty: "Tripping the Twelve Prefectures of Shanxi First"
——I am the dividing line—
The courtyard is deep and the bamboo trees are swaying, like the girl's mood and sorrow that is turning over and over again, and it is like the changing sky and phenology at the intersection of late winter and early spring. The gloom in the sky is wrapped with a hint of brightness.
It was only when Zhou Huaian passed through many corridors and flower doors and shut down all the maids and female guards he met, and then he slowly walked into a water pavilion next to a pond full of decay. But he gently pushed away the swaying curtain and was a little surprised.
As expected, Cao Hongyao, who should cry in his arms, was concentrating and calming and looking as usual, was teaching two little white hairs to paint the real scene; and the "Lotus Pond Leaves" on a painted paper had already drawn a line and filled a small part.
Zhou Huaian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he felt a little lost. Then he suddenly calmed down and watched her patiently lead two young guys at the same age, and colored the pictures bit by bit.
Wearing a purple white floral skirt, holding a red medicine that is full of home flavor, her eyes filled with all her affection, as if the branches were shining with crystal dew, and she had a quiet and moving smell under the bright sky.
I don’t know how long it took, but the two jadeites with a single ponytail in their little white hair became shocked. They swung their playful and cute ends and couldn’t wait to shake their foreheads and shouted:
"Your husband is here..."
"I just want to come and see you... It's fine."
Then Zhou Huaian stopped Cao Hongyao from leaning over.
"My husband thinks what should I do at this time? Will I cry and then be on the spot?...Nu Nu is not so fragile yet..."
Cao Hongyao asked back, however, Tian Jingyi asked again.
"Your husband has taught you that Aye is Aye, and I am also me. You can't blame the corresponding relationship and guilt for no reason because of something you don't know yet."
"The slave was originally the daughter of Aye and Ah Mother, so he naturally had to repay his parents for raising them; but now he is the husband's man, and he must also help the husband with great cause to help the people, cherish this body and do his best to do nothing to worry about..."
"I'll be relieved if you can understand the righteousness so deeply..."
Zhou Huaian also breathed a sigh of relief, and then put him in his arms without saying a word and said softly.
"Don't hide it if you have any thoughts. It's better to talk to me in private..."
"Nu Nu has saved... I have something to do now, but I don't have much time to worry or worry about things like this..."
Hong Yaoer smiled slightly and said:
"I saw that Calamari had something to do, so I wanted to ask the husband for an idea."
After coming out, Zhou Huaian saw a small pendant that had been waiting in the corridor. She was wearing a goose yellow trouser skirt, which looked fresh and pure, as if it was the first buds and new buds blooming safely above the clear stream.
"I...I...want to ask Zhou Lang for grace..."
The small pendant was rarely polite and said respectfully.
"Let me tell you..."
Zhou Huaian said calmly without understanding
"Can you let Sister join the female guard and listen to it? This way, you can continue to be with me forever?"
The little pendant looked at him hesitantly.
"Oh, that's why... do you know that my female guard's standard...what needs is not decoration, but the skills and skills that can be used at critical moments."
Zhou Huaian said in surprise.
"Actually, my sister also has a family background. She has learned the skills of bow and horse and sword fighting since she was a child. It was just because I was tired of it, and she ended up in this situation this year."
The little pendant hesitated before twisting his fingers and continuing
"Carpuer, then to be honest, how did she come from it? I can't put an unstable factor around me for a long time."
Zhou Huaian also said seriously. After all, with the strict access control of the back house, these related people always have a solution.
"Actually, my sister is the Zuo Shenwu Army. She was born by Zhang Situ, and she is considered to be the descendant of a famous family... She was only fostered in my house after Zhang Situ died..."
When Xiao Wenqi said this, she looked at Zhou Huaian's face with some contempt. Although she was a little sorry for doing this, she still didn't want to part with her sister after all.
"Is this Zhang Situ again? Has the blood of my rebel army been touched in his hand?"
Zhou Huaian shook his head disapprovingly.
"Zhang Situ had been fighting against the barbarians in Hexi in his early years, and he lived in the capital after returning to the court."
The little pendant shook his head quickly and said.
"Is it the Yichao Duke who commanded the Guiyi Army of the 11 Prefectures in Hexi...?"
Hearing this, Zhou Huaian suddenly had an idea in his heart and couldn't help but be surprised.
"That's right... Zhou Lang also knew...."
The little pendant suddenly sighed and nodded.
It turned out that the skeleton spirit, who usually seemed to have some problems, was actually the daughter of Zhang Yichao, the former governor of Guiyi Army who expelled Tubo and recovered Hexi in history; or was the daughter born to the royal family daughter after he took the initiative to enter the court as a magistrate.
Because all the adult sons stayed in the northwest, they treated her as their son to teach martial arts and other things, thinking that they would be a temporary comfort and reconcile. Therefore, they have a certain reputation among the families in Beijing.
It was not until more than ten years ago that Zhang Yichao died of illness in Chang'an, and his mother left in depression. She entrusted her to the royal family to adopt her. It happened that the small vase at home had not been born for a long time, so she had this kind of love that grew up with her sisters.
Among them, there is a story about the Tang Dynasty's continuous suppression and restriction of the Guiyi Army, which gradually declined. It can be said that among the many strife of contemporary figures, Zhang Yichao is one of the few national heroes without stains and dark history.
The current governor of Guiyi Army is Zhang Huaishen, the nephew of Zhang Yichao, but the Tang Dynasty court has never been willing to grant him official banners and seals. Instead, in the former Liangzhou land under the name of Guiyi Army, the governor of Liangzhou was set up to dispatch the Tianping Army to garrison it as a restraint. So far, he is the third one.
Then the jurisdiction of the Tianxiong Army and the Liangzhou Jiedushi was expanded, and the eleven prefectures in Hexi, Longyou, under the name of Guiyi Army were continuously deprived of only the five prefectures of Guasha, which were not justified, completely cutting off their plans to move to the mainland.
As the saying goes, loyal and righteous people who truly care about their homeland were greatly prevented and suppressed, and gradually declined. The Heshuo vassal state, which was always rebellious and challenging the authority of the court, was appeased and favored by the court for generations. This was the current situation that was difficult to ease in the late Tang Dynasty.
In a few years, the civil strife of the Guiyi Army was killed by Zhang Huai Shen. Then, with the decline of the Guiyi Army of the Tang Dynasty, the Ganzhou Uighurs and the Xizhou Uighurs took the opportunity to rise, and the Green Cult was able to cross the Pamir Mountains and spread to the traditional Anxi towns in the inner Western Regions, and began a series of chain reactions that took root and sprouted.
It was not until the last Buddhist regime, Khotan, which ended and surrendered in the face of the Green Church belief in the last century. The Guiyi Army was eventually destroyed by Li Yuanhao of the Western Xia. It can be said that the religious and ethnic issues that continued in modern China in the northwest region were largely derived from this key node.
As a remote vassal state in the Tang Dynasty, the Guiyi Army regime was considered a "gentile" in the early Five Dynasties. The new and old "History of the Five Dynasties" attached it to the "Biography of Tubo", and the "History of Song Dynasty" was included in the "Biography of Foreign Countries", and the "Song Huiyao" listed it as "Bianyi";
How could such a Tang Dynasty regime, which regarded the Central Plains regime as the legitimate one from beginning to end, was abandoned by the Central Plains dynasty?
Of course, for the glorious Song Dynasty, which had the highest victory rate of foreign wars in all dynasties, since ancient times, Jiaozhi has been independent, and half of the pass, Hexi and Longyou were stolen by Dangxiang. When it was said that the brotherly country paid annual monies every year, what did the Guiyi Army in the remaining northwest count?
Having said that, although it is still a bit out of reach for the Northwest at present; if you have the chance to meet it in the future, Zhou Huaian will still think about how to support the other party; obviously this skeleton spirit is the best opportunity and reason.
"Since it is the descendant of Zhang Situ whom the people admire, there is no problem at all."
Thinking of this, Zhou Huaian couldn't help but say to her with a kind look:
"Zhang Situ raised Hu Chen to expel the Tartars and restore China. Even if we were outside the domain, we had heard of and admired him. I believe that as his descendants, we would not betray the truth and humiliate the family."
Then Zhou Huaian continued
"What a female guard can count is too incompetent; if you have the will, you can teach military strategy and military strategy, and it is not impossible to lead a single female soldier in the future. Since we have female officials and female soldiers under the rule of Taiping Army, there are many female generals (mascots)...
"It's so great... Sister will definitely be very happy..."
The little pendant then rushed over and hung it on Zhou Huaian like a koala. She said in a delicate way.
——I am the dividing line—
In Xichuan, Hanzhou to the north,
"What, when did this happen? Why did you hand over the person?"
Gao Renhou, who had just returned from the army, shouted in shock
"It is the Holy Lord's meaning..."
The helpless bachelor Zhang Jun said in a voice.
"Holy Lord? How could the Holy Lord make such a decision...Isn't it that someone around me instigated and bewitched?"
Gao Renhou continued to shout with heartache.
"This is the advice of the scholar Zheng Gu, and everyone praised it. It can be said that if you exchange it for the civil and military officials and their relatives of the court who are walking, you will still have something to do with it."
Zhang Jun continued to explain to him
"The man who ruined the country!!!, this is not what we think of."
Gao Renhou, who has always been kind to others, was so angry that he was about to stand up.
"Although Tian family is holding all the soldiers and civilians in the city, he is not the legitimate commander of Nishikawa. As long as he is surrounded by time and is divided into internal and external affairs, he will only be able to die if the dead bones in the tomb are waiting to die."
"But Chen Jingxuan's flirting is very different. He has been in charge of Xichuan for many years. Although he has no governance strategy, he is always cautious and good at comforting his subordinates. When he was released to Chengdu this time, the rebellion party will get the same person and the name of it. I am afraid that the great cause of seeking rebellion and conquering difficulties will be more troublesome."
