Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 23 Where to Go

Ge Duo was holding a spear, and he was wearing the armor he had when he was young, but it didn't fit well and was a bit small.

Zhang Zhao's guess was correct, Ge Duo was a top warrior ten years ago, and countless Tubo warriors and Canwei warriors died under his command, but today, ten years later, he has already fallen into corruption.

Although he is a horse thief, and he is on the sandbar in the Hexi Corridor, where yellow sand is everywhere and the products are not abundant, but as a horse thief leader who has commanded hundreds of horse thieves and is well-known in Guasha.

Ge Duo's life is still very good. He has six or seven wives and concubines, and he can eat half a sheep for a meal. The one with big buttocks can't fit in the saddle, and the one with big belly can't wear armor.

This is also the reason why Ge Duo ran away resolutely, he spared his life!People who are older, have better conditions, and feel that they should enjoy life will cherish their lives the most!The first choice when encountering danger is how to preserve everything you already have.

"Wind! Wind! Wind! Wind!" A passionate voice sounded, Zhang Zhao, who was only wearing a pair of shorts with a small nose, and his bare upper body showing the waistcoat line, jumped twice flexibly.

He held a pointed hammer in one hand and a hand of cards in the other. The louder the shouts around him, the more excited he was, as if he had returned to the full-armor fighting arena.

Ge Duo's complexion was very ugly, his black and yellow face was livid from the cold, his nose was red, and his hands were a little stiff. He didn't feel the wind coming from everywhere!wind! 'The battle cry is encouraging him, but it seems to be sending him to the end.

"So-and-so killed you! Ahh!" When the cold wind easily penetrated into the armor, making Ge Duo feel more and more uncomfortable, he finally found some sense of the past, pointing the eight-foot long spear at Zhang Zhao's. The breast wall came through.

slow!It's too slow!So obvious!Zhang Zhao clearly felt that Ge Duo's force value was much worse than that of Qiong Re Duojin who had just been bandaged. The direction of the spear point was too obvious, and the speed and strength of the stabbing were not enough.

'Snapped! Zhang Zhao tapped lightly with the card in his hand, and easily swung away Ge Duo's stabbing. Seeing this, Ge Duo immediately withdrew the tip of the gun and wanted to continue stabbing again, but Zhang Zhao didn't give him this chance. My super brother simply threw away the cards in his hand, grabbed the gun head with his left hand and pulled it.

Ge Duo couldn't bear it any longer, so he quickly pulled back the tip of the gun. After a few breaths of struggle between the two, Zhang Zhao suddenly let go. on the ground.

So easy!

The Uighurs around, especially Bai Congxin, all showed expressions that couldn't bear to look any longer.

They never imagined that their Dagan, the bald tiger who had been running across the sandbar for more than [-] years, would be so vulnerable after losing all his aura.

Zhang Zhao's face showed a hint of ruthlessness, he didn't intend to let Ge Duo go, he wanted to be the groom for Lao Tzu!Give me a green hat!You fucking deserve it too?
Before Ge Duo, who was wearing about thirty catties of armor, hadn't stood up yet, Zhang Zhao arrived with a swoop. The pointy hammer pointed down slams down!
a bit!
Twice!

Three times!

"Ah! Spare me! Spare me! Spare me!" The shrill screams and begging continued, and the fat Ge Duo kept kicking his legs on the ground, kicking up pieces of dust.

Ge Duo, who hadn't spoken much since he was captured, kept begging for mercy, but Zhang Chao didn't care at all, and the pointed hammer continued to hammer Ge Duo's pocket.

Gradually, the sound of begging for mercy became indistinct, became extremely weak, and became silent.

Gradually, Ge Duo stopped struggling, and his fat elephant legs stopped kicking around.

died!

Crossing the sandbank for more than [-] years, five years ago, Cao Yijin sent Shouchang to restrain the envoy, Jiedu Yamen, the general Luo Xianda led four hundred elite cavalry to catch the ruthless bald tiger, just by the side of an unnamed stream He was held down by Zhang Zhao and crushed to death.

"Erlang Lord is mighty!" Just as Ge Duo stopped moving, Mrs. Cao San came up, and she spat on Ge Duo's body in disgust.

"Please, sir, allow me to cut off the head of this villain and bring it back to Dunhuang, so as to show the power of Lord Erlang!"

I go!How did the Cao family educate their daughter?This woman is as used to killing and beheading as eating and sleeping. How can this look like the granddaughter of the leader of the party? This is the grandson of Shizipo, right?
"Bai Congxin, don't you worship Lord Erlang as your master? Do you want to be buried here?"

After asking Zhang Zhao for instructions, the third lady Cao was not in a hurry to behead, but shouted at a group of Uighur horse thieves who didn't know what to do. By the way, she gave Zhang Zhong behind Zhang Zhao a wink.

Old Zhang Zhong finally came to his senses, he was actually the one who contacted Ge Duo and his group!He had not only seen Ge Duo, he had also come into contact with Bai Congxin, Qiong Re Duojin and others.

"Bai Congxin, Huang Yanger, the old man made an appointment with you before, Ge Tuo is so bold and unfaithful that he has already been punished, why don't you pay homage to Lord Erlang quickly?"

"I don't know how Mr. Erlang will deal with us?" A group of Uighurs looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, Bai Congxin came out to speak.

Zhang Zhao smiled. Now is the time, do you still want to bargain?
"It's not about how XX will deal with you, but how you will deal with yourself? Shazhou, XX will not seek it, but Ge Duo is dead, do you have a place to go? I am afraid that the chance of returning to Qilian Mountain is gone?"

The faces of Bai Congxin and the others were pale. Although Ge Duo had long been stern, he was still a big banner, a banner that could appeal to people's hearts. Without Ge Duo, none of these horse thieves would be willing to obey others The leader, the disbandment is just around the corner.

But in the horse thief business, it is not easy to wash your hands in a safe and secure golden basin under normal circumstances, let alone break up like this.

Zhang Zhao guessed that they must have many enemies. After losing the protection of the horse thieves group, it would be difficult to keep their own lives.

And they can't go back to Ge Duo's old lair, there are Ge Duo's relatives there, it's no help for them to see Ge Duo being killed, and they won't be accepted if they go back, and they are more likely to be killed!
"Mr. Erlang is heroic and unrivaled in the world. We were also recruited by Mr. Erlang. Where should we go if we don't seek sandbanks? Please show me, Mr. Erlang!"

Bai Congxin still didn't let go, and Zhang Zhao also looked at this guy in surprise. He spoke nicely, and his posture was very low, but he was a master who didn't see the rabbit and didn't stalk the eagle, so he was quite calm.

Where should we go from now on?Zhang Zhao also thought about this question for a long time.

In fact, he was in the same situation as these horse thieves, and it was impossible for him to return to the sandbank to live a peaceful life. If this incident hadn't happened, the Cao family might still be able to accommodate him.

Because the original Zhang Zhao was just a mediocre trash, and trash has the benefits of trash, that is, the Cao family wouldn't worry about what troubles he might make, and it wasn't easy to target him.

With the current status of Cao Yijin and Cao's family in the two prefectures of Guasha, if they can't even accommodate a piece of waste, it will be easy to attract criticism, which is not worthwhile.

But now it's different, he Zhang Zhao won a complete victory with one enemy against a hundred, and even hammered and killed the horse bandit and the bald tiger with his own hands. Mrs. Cao San said that he had the courage to celebrate the taboo, and the news that the Taibao had already spread Blessed by Gongxian Sheng, this is a living hero!
No matter how big the Cao family's heart is, they will certainly not be able to tolerate such descendants of Zhang Chengfeng.

"So-and-so is going west!" Zhang Zhao said after thinking about it, coughing dryly.

"To the west?" Bai Congxin and Zhang Zhong looked at Zhang Zhao hesitantly.

At this time, to the west of the sandbar was the tribal alliance called Zhongyun. These Uighurs, Canwei people, and other Turkic tribes united Zhongyun Kingdom and occupied Shanshan (Loulan) and Putao City, which originally belonged to the sandbar. , Xincheng, Qiemo, Ruoqiang and other places.

This is not a good place to go!Bai Congxin's expression became ugly, because this place is too poor, full of yellow sand, if it is not possible to communicate, it will almost die.

For example, Shanshan has migrated several times, the reason is that the Puchang Sea (Lop Nur) is shrinking and the surrounding oases are also shrinking.

If this broken land had been rich, it would have been occupied by Shazhou or Gaochang Uighurs long ago, and it was such a broken land, those Canwei people like poor ghosts had established an administrative system, with a ruler, a prime minister, and a governor. Poor and tyrannical are even more difficult to tame.

Going to Zhongyun, why not go back to Qilian Mountain to eat snow!
However, Bai Congxin and Zhang Zhong thought that Zhang Zhao was going to Zhongyun to take refuge, but someone knew it was not. The third lady Cao, who was about to have her head smashed by Ge Duo, came over with Ge Duo hanging on her waist, and her beautiful eyes were full of splendor .

"Mr. Erlang not only has the courage to celebrate taboos, but also has the wisdom of Zhuge Wuling King!
Khotan is a good place to go!Dachao Dabao Dachao Dabao Dachao Great Sage Da Mingzi His Majesty Yuchi Seng Wubo is the uncle of Lord Erlang. If Langjun is willing to go back to Khotan to visit relatives for his mother Dachao Dabao Princess Li, the King of Jin will be happy to accept it, and the king will have nothing to say It can be said. "

Zhuge Wuling King is Zhuge Liang, which was his title in the Tang Dynasty. People in the Tang Dynasty already worshiped Zhuge Liang.

The Kingdom of Jin was later known as the Kingdom of Khotan. Since the title of the Kingdom of Khotan was bestowed by Shi Jingtang, the emperor of the late Jin Dynasty, in the third year of Tianfu (938), they now call themselves the Kingdom of Jin.

The Great Treasure of the Great Dynasty, the Great Sage of the Kingdom of Jin, and the Great Tomorrow Son, Yu Chi Seng Wubo, is Li Shengtian, who has been famous in history, who has guarded the Western Regions for a hundred years and insisted on the culture of the Han family.

Li Shengtian's elder sister, Princess Li of the Dachao Dabao, is Zhang Chengfeng's legal wife, also Zhang Zhao's aunt, so Li Shengtian is Zhang Zhao's legitimate uncle.

The Kingdom of Khotan is a big country in the Western Regions, and its national power is still higher than that of the Gaochang Uighurs and the Kara Khanate. Zhang Zhao's defection to Li Shengtian is indeed a clever move. Not only can he stay away from the Cao family, but he can also gain support and space for activities in Khotan.

"Khotan!" Bai Congxin's eyes lit up instantly, this is really a good time to go out, Khotan is not only rich, but also the uncle of Mr. Erlang of the Zhang family, not only is it much better than suffering on Qilian Mountain, it is also better than wandering on the sandbar it is good.

This is the role of the eminent family. Bai Congxin and others have been in Shazhou for decades, and they don't even have a place to live. Zhang Zhao is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he is accepted everywhere.

"Mr. Erlang! I implore Mr. Erlang to take us in, we are willing to follow Mr. Erlang through fire and water!"

Bai Congxin took the lead and knelt on the ground that was still full of blood, and the Uighurs around him also knelt down.

"You say to follow? Follow? Come if there is benefit, and run away if there is no benefit. Why should you have a share of the wealth of Khotan?"

I have always been dissatisfied with these Uighurs, and felt that Qi Xiahu, who was deceived by them, was not happy. He was hesitant just now, but now he came up as soon as he knew that he could go to Khotan to enjoy himself. How could it be such a good thing!

"Mr. Erlang! I know where Ge Duo's home village is. There are still Ge Duo's relatives and family members who can kill grass and roots in the village. There are also countless treasures of salt, grain and cloth. All the wealth that Ge Duo looted over the years is in his home village. Willing to be the pioneer and take it for Mr. Erlang!" Bai Congxin gritted his teeth and took out the bait that Zhang Zhao could not refuse.

what!Yup!Ge Duo has been in Shazhou for so many years, there must be countless treasures, this windfall will not be in vain!

"Hahaha! Brother Bai, I, Zhang Zhaofei, am a lover of money, but this is a gift from God, and someone will take it! When I get Ge Duo's treasure, I will share it with all brothers, and we will be a family from now on." , Blessed and afflicted together!"

Zhang Zhao’s statement also made the surrounding Uighurs excited. Ge Duo is actually quite stingy. It’s not that his confidants would never take advantage of him, and this guy has a lot of savings. If Zhang Zhao is willing to share a part of them If so, everyone can get a lot.

"Mr. Erlang, if you want to take Ge Duo's treasure, you need to bring your servant with you. This servant knows where Ge Duo's treasure is hidden!"

A muffled voice came from behind the crowd, Zhang Zhao turned to look, and it was Ge Duo's confidant, Qiong Re Duojin who was stabbed by Zhang Zhao, who was speaking.

Qiong Re Duojin walked over slowly, ignoring the pain of the wound on his body, and knelt down in front of Zhang Zhao.

"Ge Duo gave a certain little Tanggu (leather pocket) tsampa to save my sister's life, and a certain one protected Ge Duo for ten years. He almost died several times in the ten years, and he has paid off his kindness long ago. A certain wound was bandaged by Mr. Erlang, so this life is also Mr. Erlang's!"

Zhang Zhao walked over slowly, although Qiong Re Duojin had an expression of not wanting to leave me, I'm following you, but Zhang Zhao couldn't treat him like Bai Congxin.

Because this guy is Ge Duo's confidant who will stand with a knife when he drinks and eats meat, and his martial arts skills are not bad. If such a person is easily recruited, whenever he gives you a knife, it will be quite hard to guard against.

"Mr. Erlang, this man is Ge Duo's confidant, so it's unbelievable! Let's bandage him up, it's considered merciful, and we must never accept him, just drive him away after he recovers from his injuries!"

Zhang Zhong hurried over to persuade him, he was afraid that Zhang Zhao would easily trust this guy just like recruiting Bai Congxin.

"If Mr. Erlang doesn't believe it, besides helping Mr. Erlang find Ge Duo's treasure, I also have dozens of relatives in Chaidan. Among them, the young and strong are skilled in bows and horses, and they can all serve Mr. Erlang!"

Seeing that Zhang Zhao and others didn't believe him too much, Qiong Re Duojin became a little anxious.

"I don't need you to lead the way to find Ge Duo's treasure. I don't believe that Ge Duo's wife and children can withstand the knife and axe. I don't care about warriors who are skilled in bows and horses, because there will be more gold!

But since I saved you, I am still willing to give you a chance. If you give me a certain reason, a reason to believe in you, I will allow you to take refuge. Zhang Zhaochong nodded to Zhang Zhong, reassuring him.

Qiong Re Duojin gave a wry smile, and then a look of hope flashed across his face, "Returning to Mr. Erlang, a certain person is not from Kucha, but a certain one was born as a Tubo slave soldier. Without Ge Duo's protection, the certain family would have died a long time ago." It is intolerable for the people of Kucha.

Now that Ge Duo is dead, if there is no other powerful leader to turn to, the dozens of members of the clan will have no choice but to die.

Even in front of him, this injury will not heal if it lasts for about ten years, it is not a hypocritical refuge, but it is really that a certain wants to survive! "

Zhang Zhao didn't speak, but looked at Bai Congxin behind him, and Bai Congxin nodded.

"This man's name is Qiongre Duojin, and he was indeed born as a slave soldier of Chai Dan in Dongdai."

Dongdai is the military-political official position of the Tubo Empire, sometimes translated as Qianhu, and Chaidan is the generation of the later Qaidam Basin, which happens to be on the Qilian Mountains to the south of the sandbar.

Tubo slave soldiers!interesting!
