Chapter 26 Happy News from Central Plains

Although the Han army was brave, it was outnumbered in the end, but it was not as powerful as the Uighurs. In the end, it was defeated and left, retreated into the valley, threw away the Uighurs, and evacuated along the valley.

There were constant curses along the way, and the soldiers cursed the Uighurs loudly.

"The damn Uighurs, you must kill them all! You have been chasing us for two hundred years, but you still don't let go."

"There are no more hateful than the Uighurs! Two hundred years ago, in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the emperor's orders came, and all countries followed, and no one dared not to obey! The Uighurs were just a dog in front of the Tang Dynasty. They asked them to go east, but they dared not go west; they asked them to go west, but they dared not go east!"

"It's a pity that An Lushan, Fan Yang, rebelled, and ruined the Tang Dynasty's good fortune!"

"If it weren't for An Lushan's Hu'er, how could the Tang Dynasty perish? How could the Uighurs be rampant?"

"When the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, the Uighurs were the dogs of the Tang Dynasty. When the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, the Uighurs became the lackeys of Dashi again. In order to please Dashi, they chased us for two hundred years. It's a pity that it's hateful!"

"Hmph! The great cannibal is not the most important thing! If it weren't for the traitor betrayed, how could General Gao be defeated in Talas? If General Gao was not defeated in Talas, how could Dashi be crazy?"

The soldiers became more and more angry the more they spoke. The scolding was so loud that they were helpless and had to accept the cruel reality at the moment.

Walking in the team were two middle-aged men, the leaders of the team, one was called Lin and the other was called Li Meng. The two rode together and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Gao, are you wondering? What happened to the Uighurs? They were ruthless in chasing us, and they were more ruthless than ever before." Li Meng said in confusion: "Although the Uighurs have been chasing us for two hundred years, they are not as ruthless as they are now. What happened?"

"Second brother, I'm also surprised!" Gao Lin stroked his forehead and thought, "In recent months, the Uighurs have been crazy, biting us and not relaxing. In the past few months, we have lost more people than in the past ten years. Could it be that some of the Uighurs have changed?"

"But we investigated from multiple sources, and there was no change." Li Meng frowned, and was puzzled. Then, he clasped his hands into fists and said hatefully: "The Uighurs are really not things, and they won't give us a way out! If we continue like this, we will be in danger and death within two years."

These soldiers are descendants of the Tang army. After the Tang Dynasty withdrew from the Western Regions, their ancestors did not have time to withdraw and stayed in the Western Regions. The Tang army was so capable, the Tang army was famous for its military achievements. The Uighurs were extremely worried, as if they were thorns on their backs, determined to control this force and ask the Tang army to surrender.

The Tang army not only had outstanding military achievements, but also because the Tang army was loyal and would never surrender. In this way, the Uighurs were determined to wipe out and kill all the Tang army. Only in this way can the Uighurs feel safe, otherwise they would not have a sense of security.

They would never tolerate the Tang army staying in the Western Regions, as it would pose too great a threat to them.

According to the Uighurs, the Tang Dynasty withdrew from the Western Regions and went downhill. The Tang army became an isolated army and was powerless in the Western Regions. It was not difficult to wipe out. However, the development of things far exceeded their imagination. Although the Tang army was an isolated army, its combat power remained unabated. No matter how hard the Uighurs tried, they could never wipe out the Tang army.

This battle lasted for two hundred years. The Tang army died, and their descendants continued to fight, and in this way, they fought to the present.

Of course, the reason why the Tang army could persist until now is inseparable from the large number of Han people in the Western Regions. Blood is thicker than water, and the Han people in the Western Regions are looking forward to them and always try every means to help them.

If it weren't for the help of these Han people, this Tang army would have been destroyed long ago. After all, there would be no end to the collapse of the nest. If the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, how could the Tang army survive alone?

This Tang army can survive until now, which is simply a miracle among miracles.

"Well! When the third brother comes back, see if he has found useful information." Gao Lin frowned and searched around: "The third brother has been out for several days and has not come back yet. Will something happen?"

"Brother, don't worry. Third brother is a good guy to find out the news, and nothing will happen!" Li Meng was busy comforting.

"It's a pity!" Gao Lin sighed and said, "When the Tang Dynasty was there, it was powerful. I heard that the Central Plains had been reunited and a Song Dynasty was established, but it was weak. Even the small Khitans and Dangxiang people could not defeat them, and they were suppressed for more than a hundred years."

"This is really a shame for us!" Li Meng said very disdainfully, "When the Tang Dynasty was there, the Khitan bowed his head and obediently, and he didn't dare to let anyone go. As soon as the Tang Dynasty died, its tail was raised up to the sky, and it was actually pressing against the Central Plains! The Central Plains are so rich and talented, they can't beat the small Khitan. It's really embarrassing! If our ancestors knew about this, would they be so angry that they would die again?"

They are descendants of the Tang army with great reputations. They are extremely disdainful of the weakness of the Song Dynasty and look down on them very much. To put it bluntly, the Tang Dynasty is so strong and the Tang army is so capable of fighting, but they become weaker in the Song Dynasty. Even the Khitans cannot beat them. It is really unreasonable.

"If the Central Plains were as strong as the Tang Dynasty, we would not have been chased and killed without any rest!" Gao Lin shook his fist and sighed: "I'm sorry, Emperor Song is incompetent!"

He paused a moment, and then sneered, "The Emperor Song really knows how to deceive himself, which is also called unification? It's just that he occupies the most fertile land and says unification is really shameless! If that is also called unification, what is the Tang Dynasty called? The Emperor Song is called true unification! The land of the Emperor Song, the land of the Khitans, the land of the Dangxiang people, the land of the Turks, and the land of the Turks are all owned by the Tang Dynasty, so this is the real unification!"

Although the Song Dynasty regarded itself as orthodox, it even boasted that it unified China, but it was just a boast. During the Song Dynasty, the world was divided into several parts, including Song, Liao, Western Xia, Western Regions, Vietnam, and Nanzhao, each of them ruled independently and did not belong to each other. In fact, it was a period of great division. Gao Linyan felt heartbroken and missed the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

"The third brother is back! The third brother is back!"

Li Meng was about to take over the conversation and ridicule the Song Dynasty again, but he screamed suddenly and pointed his fingers ahead.

A team of people rushed forward, leading a middle-aged man about thirty years old, wearing casual clothes and looking happy, and shouting from afar: "Brother, second brother, happy event! Happy event! Happy event!"

"Three brother, what a happy event?" Gao Lin slapped his horse and went up to meet him.

"Third brother, won't the Uighurs attack us?" Li Meng chased after him and asked from afar.

"The Central Plains are powerful! The Central Plains are powerful!" The visitor called Duan De, raised his voice and screamed: "The Central Plains King's Army is coming to the Western Regions! Come to the Western Regions!"

His voice spread from afar like thunder, which was surprising. The soldiers who were cursing suddenly stopped and looked at him with wide eyes, looking at him with disbelief.

For them, they had been looking forward to the power of the Central Plains for two hundred years, but they did not expect it. All they had hoped for was the news of the weak Song Dynasty. It was even more difficult to make them believe that the power of the Central Plains was stronger than climbing to the sky.

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense!" Gao Lin said in a deep voice: "Emperor Song is weak, even the Khitans and Dangxiang people cannot beat them. How can he become powerful?"

"Yes!" Li Meng hurriedly agreed and said, "Third brother, don't lie to us."

"Oh!" Duan De screamed, his voice even higher, saying, "This is real news! I tell you that the Khitans lost all the elites, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun took back the Song Emperor. Also, 250,000 royal troops have already reached the Hexi Corridor and are facing Xixia. They will defeat Xixia soon!"

He was so happy that he was talking all over his mouth, but Gao Lin and Li Meng didn't believe it. They kept shaking their heads and complained: "Second brother, your ability to lie is getting more and more powerful, and the lies are like true! If I hadn't known that Emperor Song was incompetent, I would have believed it!"

"Brother, second brother, how can you believe me if I say it?" Duan De was so anxious that he raised his throat and shouted: "What I said is true! Although it is hard to believe it, it is true! Do you know why the Uighurs beat us so hard during this period? That's because they got the news that the Central Plains are growing again, and the King's Army is about to enter the Western Regions. They are afraid! They are afraid that we will meet with the King's Army and settle old accounts with them!"

"This..." Gao Lin raised his eyebrows and said in contemplation: "If the Central Plains become stronger again, the king's army will inevitably enter the Western Regions. It is reasonable for the Uighurs to do this. But is what you said true or false? The Central Plains have always been weak, so how can they become powerful if they say they are powerful? I don't believe it!"

"Yes!" Li Meng quickly agreed: "Even if Emperor Taizong is resurrected, he can't be said to be powerful!"

"This is how it is!" Duan De flew off the horse, came closer, and raised his throat and said, "This matter must start with a scholar named Wu Ji! This scholar Wu is amazing! He can make weapons and use troops..."

Next, he decided to make the situation he found out. Gao Lin and Li Meng were ecstatic and fell from the horse's back and screamed: "Brothers, the Central Plains are strong! The King's Army is fighting to the Hexi Corridor! The King's Army is about to enter the Western Regions!"

"Brother, don't you believe it?" Duan De was stunned and a little unbelievable. Gao Lin, who had just said that he didn't believe it, now he believed it without doubt.

"Third brother, even if you can lie, you can't say it so much. This must be true, you can hear it at first!" Li Meng was also very happy, and kept jumping, waving his fists, and shouting: "The King is coming! The King is coming!"

"The King is coming!"

"We have a good life!"

The soldiers cheered. This was the best news they had received in two hundred years. They were all happy, with tears on their faces, hugging each other, and weeping.

"Woooo!" The crying sounded loudly.

"The Central Plains are strong, we have hope." Gao Lin wiped his tears, cried happily, and choked, "We have to send someone to Hexi to inform the King's Army of the Western Regions to welcome the King's Army into the Western Regions!"

"Woooo!" Li Meng also cried very happily and kept jumping: "Brother is saying very well! Brother, according to my opinion, it is best for the third brother to go to this matter!"

"Then I'll have a third brother!" Gao Lin agreed while wiping his tears.
