20. Anxi Wanliyao
In the summer, when the soldiers in various places in Jingzhou began to dry wheat seeds and weed the millet fields, an urgent letter from the Lingzhou Governor's Office crossed Qingzhou Road and sent it to Gao Yue who was about to leave.
"Well, my father asked me to receive Yuan Shaoyin who returned from the Uighur mission?" After Gao Yue finished reading, he handed over the letter to Yun Shao for safekeeping.
Yuan Xiu had returned from Uighur Yating at this moment. He should have taken the Zhenwu City-Taiyuan Prefecture route, but he temporarily changed the route and took Lingzhou-Qingzhou-Yuanzhou.
From my father-in-law's letter, I learned that there are two reasons why Yuan Xiu did this.
First, he successfully enthroned the new Khan of the Uighurs, and the Khan was later called "Wuyi Chenggong Khan";
Secondly, in order to appease the Uighurs, Li Shi finally dismissed Zhang Guangsheng, who had launched a massacre and asked him to return to Beijing to serve as a free job, which was also considered a disguised protection. As soon as Zhang Guangsheng, who had always been prestigious in the army, left, the Zhenwu army mutiny and killed the successor's governor and the military eunuch. Li Shi had no choice but to arrange for Wang Hong, who was known for his bravery and power, to go to Zhenwu City to clean up the morale of the army.
Yuanxiu and Wang Hong's family had a grudge, so they were unwilling to return to the country through Zhenwu City and changed to Lingzhou.
In addition, Cui Ning also mentioned in the letter that Yuan Xiu returned from the Uighurs and brought the envoys from Anxi and Beiting, hoping to enter the palace to meet the Emperor of the Tang family through Baili Xincheng Station.
This envoy is named Guo Shi.
"Since my father said that, we should not neglect it." Gao Yue agreed and hurriedly ordered the inn to prepare for the welcome.
Four days later, on the Linjing boundary, Yuan Xiu rode a camel at Yima Pass with a festival stall. Guo Xu, beside him, turned over and fell down the camel at the boundary marker between Qingzhou and Jingzhou, and then knelt down on the ground, tears streaming down and knocking endlessly, which attracted the Han and foreign merchants who were trading between Yima Pass and revisited them.
Guo Xun detoured from Anxi and Beiting to the Tang Dynasty for thousands of miles. From Lingzhou, he went to the Tang family and kowtowed in tears and shouted, "I will finally see the sun of my Tang Dynasty again." Then he digged a piece of soil and carefully put it in the iron cup he carried with him.
Soon, in Bailicheng Inn, Shu Wang and others personally met Yuanxiu and Guo Xu.
When Guo Shi saw King Shu, he even hid in front of his boots and cried loudly, "I will die today, and I will have no regrets when I die."
King Shu hurriedly helped him up, and everyone present shed tears.
It turns out that Guo Xun was the brother of Guo Xin, the descendant of the four towns of Anxi, and Guo Xin was the nephew of Guo Ziyi and the son of Guo Ziyi's younger brother Guo Youming.
Gao Yue also sighed: Finally, Anxi and Beiting, who were isolated from danger, finally sent an envoy.
"Can Guo stay safe after he stays?" Shu Wang asked.
"In order to stay for fifteen years, my brother was alone to resist Xiban for fifteen years. Now the four towns in Anxi are surrounded by enemies. Shatuo, Gelulu and others have all turned against us and surrendered to Xiban. Shazhou (now Dunhuang) has been surrounded several times and is in danger. Yizhou (now Hami) has been captured by Xiban before."
Yizhou has also fallen!
The huge black amazes, bursting into everyone's hearts, "The governor Yuan?"
"Before the city was broken, the governor Yuan Guangting killed all his wife and family, and then burned himself to death for his country!" Guo Shi said this, and could no longer control his emotions and cried.
“How is Shazhou now?”
"Shazhou had been attacked by a large army of Xifan before. Former governor Zhou Ding hoped to 'abandon the city to protect the people' and open the city to surrender. Then the scholars moved back to the Tang Dynasty, but before surrender, they were killed by their general Yan Chao. Now Yan Chao continues to lead the soldiers and civilians in the whole province and vows to resist Xifan to the death."
After hearing Guo Shi's crying, everyone present remained silent for a long time.
Finally, Gao Yue and Meng Qing turned their eyes to King Shu, meaning you must say this.
King Shu also hesitated for a while before he warmly discussed the national policy of Guo Xun: "Now Emperor Ruiwen and Shengwu have made great progress, and the year name has been changed to Jianzhong. The emperor hopes to discuss peace with Xifan."
"What, peace talks..." Guo Xu was stunned. He traveled thousands of miles this time, crossed countless foreign lands in the Uighur territory, and entered the Tang Dynasty for a lifetime. He originally hoped to allow the Tang army to advance westward, restore Hexi and Longxi, connect with Anxi Beiting again, and save millions of soldiers and civilians from the Western Regions of the Tang Kingdom in the water and poison the fire.
But who would have thought that now that the situation is changing, the Emperor of the Tang family is going to discuss peace with Xifan?
"What should I do if Anxi and Beiting!" Guo Xun asked in a crying voice.
At this time, King Shu couldn't even say it, so Gao Yue bravely stood up and told Guo Xun: "The country's Heshuo, Ziqing, and Shannan Town are in civil turmoil. Now the court has not yet been able to recover lost territory. Therefore, we will temporarily stop the war with Xifan and accumulate strength to wait for a counterattack. For this reason, Wei Shaoqing and Cui Shaojian had already made their way to the logic (i.e. Lhasa) four months ago, and were negotiating with the other party's Zamp. Once successful, we will make Xifan no longer invade Shazhou, Kucha and other places, so that the military and civilians can rest and recuperate, improve city defense, and hoard grain and cloth. As long as time goes by, the heavenly soldiers will definitely restore Hehuang and guard the clouds and see the bright moon."
In fact, it was very uncomfortable for Gao Yue to say this, but now this is the only feasible way, the trick to drag it out.
Keep it, Guo Xin, Queen Anxi, and Li Yuanzhong, Queen Beiting, please keep it.
When I participated in the spring exam, I also said this to my friends. As long as I gritted my teeth and persevered, there will be solutions and opportunities to solve the problem.
"So that's how it is..." Although Guo Xu was extremely sad, he could only accept the reality in front of him with the broken flame of hope.
At this time, King Shu also stood up and told Guo Xu that something shocking:
"Xiao Wang received a report from the capital. King Fenyang became ill after entering the summer. I am afraid that there will be no more time. Your Majesty entrusted Xiao Wang to leave Jingyuan for the time being and return to Beijing to visit Guo Fenyang's house in Renfang to show His Majesty's condolences... You can follow Xiao Wang and Gao Shiyu to return to Beijing..."
Emperor Daizong died, Tian Chengsi died, Li Baochen died, and Li Zhengji heard that the back of the cervix was in trouble, and it seemed that he would not be long. Now, Guo Ziyi, the King of Fenyang, is also--ah, it seems that the whole era is slowly coming to an end.
After nightfall, Yuanxiu, who was on a mission to Uighurs, visited Gao Yue's private house to express his gratitude to him for his reception.
After the meal, the two sat on each other and chatted.
While talking, Gao Yue learned that Yuanxiu had also experienced hardships when he went to the Uighur Orchid this time:
It was snowing heavily in the dental womb, but he was angry that the Tang Dynasty killed Zhang Guangsheng and other Wuyi Khan who was in the mission, but did not put Yuanxiu into the tent. Yuanxiu stood in the almost knee-deep snow, and his hair and beard were frozen so cold that his hair and beard were frozen. Finally, he took out his gold and silver jewelry and bribed his confidants around Khan, and was able to meet Wuyi Khan.
Khan finally said to him: "Zhang Guangsheng killed more than 900 people in my mission innocently. Everyone in the country wants to take revenge. But what are the crimes of you? I, the Uighurs, don't want to wash blood with blood with blood, but I hope to wash blood with water." So he accepted the title of the Emperor of the Tang family and expressed his willingness to continue to maintain peace with the Tang Dynasty.
When Keyuan Ju returned, he had been frozen in the snow for a long time and had an original radaria attack that almost came back from the camel's back.
Now he played chess with Gao Yue, his legs were still stretched out stiffly, as if he was enduring great pain.
