Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

Judging from the content on this stone tablet, the beloved concubine who died of a strange disease was named Harinur, and his father was the famous King of the Kara Khanate, Ariel Khan.

From this point of view, this marriage was actually the result of the marriage between the Karakhanid Dynasty and the Xixia Dynasty.

"Li Yuanhao is twenty years older than Princess Harinur. Based on this time, this princess was only about fourteen years old when she got married?"

"What's the point? In ancient times, women were only about this age when they got married. Old husbands and young wives had quite a lot of fun!"

"It's not that simple. The inscription says that Ariel Khan of the Karakhan Dynasty had only one daughter. He regarded her as the apple of his eye since she was a child. He married her daughter to a man who could be her father, and she was also a concubine. There must be something here. question."

Lin Yi turned to the back of the stone tablet and continued to study the words on it.

The answer lies in the inscription behind it.

"So that's it! The reason for the marriage was found. Ariel Khan married his young daughter to Xixia. Firstly, he wanted to find a reliable home for his daughter. Secondly, he took this opportunity to establish a 'son-in-law relationship' with Xixia. From Xixia Borrow troops and go to war with Yu Tian."

According to historical records, by the Song Dynasty, there were only three major powers in the Western Regions that were relatively powerful.

Among them, Yutian and the Karakhan Dynasty fought for years and refused to give in to each other.

The war between the Karakhanid Dynasty and the Yutian Dynasty lasted for more than a century from the late 10th century to the early 11th century. At the beginning, the Yutian Dynasty had the upper hand.

However, after Ariel Khan of the Karakhanid Dynasty came to the throne, the offensive and defensive momentum changed. The Karakhanid Dynasty defeated the Yutian Dynasty on the battlefield one after another, drove it back to its own territory, and took back the Karakhanid Dynasty. Large areas of land.

The Yutian Dynasty launched many crazy counterattacks, but in the end they failed to restore the decline.

Until later, the Yutian Dynasty took advantage of Ariel Khan's western expedition and launched a counterattack while the country was empty. However, after Ariel Khan returned to the defense in time, the two sides launched a fierce battle that lasted for half a year.

Karakhan's army and Tian's army surrounded Esqsa Castle south of Kashgar City.

Yutian's army broke through, but after the successful breakthrough, only 30% of the troops were left and suffered heavy losses. Ariel Khan won the war, but also paid a heavy price.

However, there is a large gap in national power between the two countries. Although Ariel Khan defeated Yu Tian, ​​it only took two years for Yu Tian to make a comeback and launch the last and most ferocious offensive against the Karakhanid Dynasty. An attack.

Assembling 15 troops, including reinforcements provided by Gaochang Round, Ganzhou Round, Tubo, etc., they had an absolute advantage in numbers and entered the Kargar area in a mighty manner.

That is, before the start of this battle, Ariel Khan sent his beloved Princess Harinur to Xixia.

This marriage brought him five thousand Xixia cavalry.

"Five thousand cavalry? Good guy, does this old man really dare to speak?"

Using the current organization, five thousand cavalry is equivalent to a reinforced brigade, and it is also a cavalry unit, the most combat-effective unit in ancient wars.

"Boss Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry back then only had more than 5,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. This was enough for him to conquer the world. With Xixia's little wealth, he only needs 5,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry at once?"

Both Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng found this "price" a bit incredible.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness of these five thousand cavalry, as far as the Xixia Kingdom is concerned, there are Mongolia and Liao in the north, and the Song Dynasty in the east. Five thousand cavalry went out at once to support the father-in-law, and he got a daughter-in-law back in his hands. The price is really too high.

However, this is considered a family matter, and no matter how much outsiders comment, it will not help.

Judging from the results, this "bride gift money" is a waste of money.

After the Xixia Kingdom's reinforcements arrived, the two sides launched a protracted war. In the end, the Karakhanids still failed to resist Yutian's attack, and were captured by the opponent. Ariel Khan died in the battle, and the Karakhanids changed from the Western Region Map to , was completely removed from the list. Historically, the wars between the two countries were recorded as entirely due to territorial disputes.

But the inscription in front of me mentioned one thing:

These two countries share the same roots and ancestors, and their common ancestor is Jingjue, who is a descendant of the Eastern Qiang people.

What they are really fighting for is Jingjue's orthodox identity and the "Liangzhou Ding" that once appeared in the murals of Jingjue Ancient City.

Seeing this, Lin Yi was stunned.

Ever since he, Wang Qiang, Bai Lu and others came out of Jingjue Ancient City in the Western Regions, the clue to "Liangzhou Ding" had been completely broken.

Later, I never came across any information related to it.

They once thought that the "Liangzhou Ding" had been completely lost and there was no way to trace it.

Unexpectedly, news of it appearing again turned out to be in Li Yuanhao's tomb.

"You read that right, Old Lin, is it really the 'Liangzhou Ding'? Are you sure it is the 'Liangzhou Ding' that was given to Queen Mother of the West by King Zhou Mu?"

"That's what it says in the inscription. I'm not sure exactly what happened."

"That should be right! We've already written an epitaph, so there's no reason to lie to people. If we make up lies again, wouldn't we be fooling the 'ghosts'?"

"Don't interrupt, let me take another look!"

Lin Yi continued to read along the inscription.

The questions that confused them before were answered.

The fragments of the "Liangzhou Ding" are actually in the hands of Ariel Khan. In other words, the Karakhan Dynasty inherited the "Liangzhou Ding" from the Jingjue Kingdom and regarded it as a token like a jade seal passed down to the country.

Although there are only fragments in his hand, it must be the core piece, otherwise there is no way to prove its identity.

Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and a smile broke out on his face.

This time when I came to the Helan Mountain realm, I wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect that I would get an unexpected harvest.

"What did you see? Are you so happy? Tell us about it!"

Lin Yi focused his flashlight on the key content of the stone tablet and explained to them:

"Just now we said that Li Yuanhao married a daughter-in-law and paid five thousand cavalry. This gift was a bit heavy. In fact, Ariel Khan not only sent his daughter over, but also used the fragments of the 'Liangzhou Ding' as a 'mortgage'. Borrowed five thousand cavalry from Li Yuanhao.

If you think about it this way, this gift is indeed not that heavy! "

"Fragments of the 'Liangzhou Ding'? According to this, there are not only the 'Yuzhou Ding' that was knocked into parts in this tomb, but also fragments of the 'Liangzhou Ding'?"

Wang Qiang's eyes shone, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch upward, and the folds on his face were almost squeezed together.

"That's great. This time we can kill two birds with one stone and have double happiness!" (End of Chapter)
