Chapter 24 Soldiers besiege Yecheng, no one is an opponent(1/2)

Du Xian has only three words of speech, and he has already planned to say goodbye.

Pei Min was stunned and hurriedly called him.

Although he knew that his identity as a literary sect of his generation, he also possessed the "Three Character Classic" and the articles that could be passed down through the ages of learning that could be circulated in the "Teacher's Talk", which made him stand out in the scholarly world for a while.

All the scholars and the people were proud to see him.

Just like Chen Jinnan in the novel, it means "I will be useless to be called a famous scholar if I haven't seen Pei Jingyuan in my life."

But he is not a monkey, Du Xian left as soon as he meets him...

It's really a monkey!

Pei Min said: "Mr. Du is very filial and is truly a role model for us. It's just that the situation in Anxi is complicated. Can the border bureau be arranged properly when Mr. Husband goes?"

The previous sentence of praise was expressed by Pei Min.

Admittedly!

Ding You is a traditional moral etiquette, but Du Xian is the deputy governor of Anxi and the governor of Jixi. The first in charge of Anxi military and political affairs, and ordered the king of the nine kings of Zhaowu in the Western Regions to be the king of the king.

If you really want to distinguish between the top and bottom, you are second only to Pei Min and Zhang Shougui, and you are the third leader of the border commander of the Tang Dynasty!

Du Xian did not care about his position as such. He said that he would resign and be filial.

This courage and filial piety are indeed admirable.

But just like Pei Min's true intention, Du Xian, as Yuan Luqian said, had a scholarly spirit, but he did a good job in the Western Regions. He was honest and diligent, and was deeply loved by the people. All countries in the Western Regions followed him.

His resignation from his post was the most important matter.

Du Xian said confidently: "Don't worry, this duke has already made arrangements before resigning. Now Anxi's important matters are under the responsibility of my deputy husband Meng Lingcha. I recommend him to the court to inherit my position. Even if the court does not allow it, Lingcha will guard until the last moment before the new deputy magistrate takes office to ensure Anxi is safe."

Humeng Lingzha?

Pei Min is a little familiar with this name, but he can't remember his experience.

However, since there are names and surnames in history, they should be personal characters.

Du Xian returned to his hometown to attend mourning and mourning, so he naturally could not drink and chat with him. After confirming that Anxi was not at ease, Pei Min sent him away.

Just as he was about to return to the backyard of the Jiedushi, Pei Min paused, walked around, and came to Sun Zhou's official office, and instructed Sun Zhou to arrange Zhan Ru to go to the Western Regions in person.

Sun Zhou looked at Pei Min in confusion and asked, "But what happened in the Western Regions?"

"No!" Pei Min said, "Just ask for peace of mind. The relative of Du Xian, the former deputy guru of Anxi Protectorate, died of illness unexpectedly. He resigned without any signs, which made the completely stable and stable situation a little turbulent. Although Du Xian repeatedly said that Meng Lingcha could trust and have enough ability. However, it was not difficult to say whether he could suppress the scene without going through the test. It is naturally the best way to do so. If not, we can help one thing to avoid any accidents. This is not harmful to make it more preparation."

Sun Zhou naturally agreed and started making arrangements.

Zhan Ru, who received the order, rushed to Anxi immediately.

The road from Guzang, Liangzhou to Anxi is not easy to walk. Not to mention entering the Western Regions, it is extremely inconvenient to enter Hexi Xizhou.

At that time, Gaochang King Qu Wentai relied on the Western Turks and prevented the Western Regions from tribute to the Tang Dynasty through their borders.

Li Shimin sent Hou Junji to destroy Gaochang, and he was troubled by two thousand miles of sand dunes on the way.

Even though Gaochang State was destroyed for many years, the sand dunes with a strange climate of two thousand miles still caused great inconvenience to the traffic.

Even if Zhan Ru had special training, he had spent a lot of energy to pass the sand dunes and enter Xizhou.

When you arrive in Xizhou, it is almost like you arrive in the Western Regions.

Zhan Ru stayed in Gaochang City for a night, passed through the sea of ​​sand to Yanqi Town, passed through Tiemen Pass, and Wuleizhou to Kucha, where the Anxi Protectorate was located.

Zhan Ru investigated the situation everywhere on the grounds of looking for relatives.

There was peace all over Kucha, and nothing was unusual.

Travelers who come and go live comfortably.

Compared with the Han and Hu 73 pairs in Hexi, the Western Regions are completely reversed.

Most of the people who come and go on the street are from the Western Regions with high noses and deep noses, while the Han people are in a minority, and most of the Han people are mostly evil spirits.

Because the Western Regions are remote, the ancients were originally home-loving and had a strong sense of regionality.

Even if I had to move, I would not choose the Western Regions where the emperor was far away.

The Han people in the Western Regions were either soldiers or exiled sinners, and there were very few common people.

However, because it was the territory of the Tang Dynasty, even if there were many Hu and few Han, from officials and nobles to merchants and ordinary people, they spoke Chinese language, and it was extremely standard.

After all, the Tang Dynasty was in power in the Western Regions and it had been a long history.

Zhan Ru walked around Kucha, leaving footprints in high-end brothels and low-end taverns.

Seeing the Kucha, the wealthy and nobles were still having fun and were drunk and dreaming; the peddlers were happy and made money with all their hearts, and there was nothing unusual.

Zhan Ru also paid special attention to the situation of the Great Protectorate, and Du Xian created a reasonable operating mechanism for the Protectorate.

As the successor, Humeng Lingcha did not make any changes in the mechanism.

Even if Du Xian left, the entire Anxi would develop according to the original trajectory.

Zhan Ru investigated for half a month and confirmed that everything was fine, and passed the news to Sun Zhou of Liangzhou in special intelligence.

He himself was not in a hurry to leave and continued to investigate Anxi's situation.

Zhan Ru woke up from the cold at night on this day.

Looking at the extinguished charcoal fire on the side, lit the candles, listening to the whistling sound of the wind outside the window, I wanted to open the window and take a look, but I found that I couldn't push it.

The strong wind outside the house pressed the loose windows tightly, and the ordinary force could not push them open.

Zhan Ru shivered and stopped forcing her. She put on her coat and asked for some charcoal fire when she was on duty downstairs, complaining about the cold.

The climate in the Western Regions is much colder than that in Guanzhong and better than Liangzhou.

The guy on the night smiled and said, "I don't know that the guest officer is the coldest every time we are here. We haven't adapted to the first snow yet. As long as we survive today, we will be frozen and we will not be cold."

Zhan Ru realized that it was snowing and asked more questions.

The guy on the night was very good at talking and said endlessly: "It was down when I started the update. Now there are almost three feet of snow on the eaves. The snow fell suddenly, and I don't know how many animals would be frozen to death."

Zhan Ru didn't care either, rubbed her cold and numb hands and continued to sleep.

The next day, wrapped in a coat, Zhan Ru did not hide in the room, but came to the inn lobby, ordered hot porridge and oil cakes, and listened to the chat of travelers around him.

The topics of travelers around were all centered on the sudden heavy snow, talking about the impact of heavy snow.

A table of travelers' conversation attracted Zhan Ru's attention.

"What a pity. More than a thousand best horses were frozen to death like this, and the loss was quite large."

"No, they are all good horses, each of which is worth hundreds of cents. Even if the thunder cavalry is rich and powerful, they will be so angry that they will be so angry that they will be glaring at each other."

Zhan Ru heard Tuqishi and felt aroused in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "Two brothers, are you talking about the thousand horses sent by Princess Jiaohe?"

When he arrived in Kucha, Zhan Ru heard about Princess Jiaohe pretending to be an elephant in front of Du Xian.

After a long time, I didn't take it seriously. At this moment, I sounded like I had a bad premonition.

Du Xian beat Princess Jiaohe's envoy, making Tuqishi lose face.

Tuqi Shi had no reaction for a long time, so he obviously endured it.

But now all the horses sent here are frozen to death, which is both a loss of face and a loss of inner self, so the situation may be different.

Even if the thunder cavalry produces a lot of good horses, it is not easy to accept that a thousand horses are lost in one go.

The traveler responded: "No, I asked me to say that Deputy Protector Du has a little bit of a temper. He beat him and was imprisoned. As a result, the thousand good horses were taken care of by only a few horse slaves. After heavy snow, the horse slaves found stables to shelter from snow, and the horse slaves were frozen into statues."

Zhan Ru didn't care about eating anymore, so he grabbed two oil cakes, wrapped them in a thick coat, and rushed to Saiye City in the strong wind.

Suye City was an important town established in the Western Regions by the Tang Dynasty. It was a city built imitating Chang'an. Because it relies on Suye Water, it is called Suye Water City.

Suoye City is located at the intersection of the two main lines of the "Silk Road". Chinese and Western merchants gather here. It is a necessary path for East and West messengers, and its strategic significance is extremely important.

When Zhan Ru arrived at Shuye City, Shuye City was already trapped in the beacon.

The dense cavalry and cavalrymen surrounded Sailye City and were inseparable from the crowd.

There were scouts of the Tukki Shi's scouts, and Zhan Ru could not get close to him at all. With his own strength, he could deal with the scattered raids, but he could not pass through the encirclement of tens of thousands of soldiers.

Without any hesitation, Zhan Ru made a quick decision and chose to retreat and passed the news to Liangzhou as soon as possible.

************

Under the city of Thunder Leaf!

Tuqi Shi Khan Sulu looked at Suoye, Chang'an, which is known as the Western Regions, with a little greed.

Su Lu has been peeking at the Thunder Ye City for a long time.

The times are progressing, and Tuqi Shi itself is gradually changing, and it is no longer a simple nomadic people.

The Western Turks had once scrambled for the Western Regions business roads, and made a lot of money by collecting tolls from East and West merchants.

This made Li Zhi, the Emperor of Li Tang in the East, jealous and sent general Su Dingfang to destroy the Western Turks in one fell swoop.

Although Li Tang was famous for sending troops, in Su Lu's eyes, any famous for making a mistake is a lie.

It is obvious that it is profit-oriented and I want to eat alone.
