Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 383 The Past of Khotan

"You killed the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, Yuchi Gongshu, why?" Zhao Huan asked while sitting in front of the imperial court.

Yuchi Gongshu stood up suddenly, the aura of his body rose sharply, the entire hall was densely covered with a sinister aura, Yuchi Gongshu looked at Zhao Huan on the throne with a little disdain.

"Zhu Zi'an dare to be so rude!" Shen Cong withdrew half of the ring knife in his hand.

Zhao Huan waved his hand and told Shen Cong to back down. Shen never carried a knife, so he would definitely not be able to beat this hill-like guy.

And he looked at the respectful Yuchi Gongshu with great interest, and became more and more sure of his thoughts.

Zhao Huan stood up suddenly, and walked slowly in front of Yuchi Gongshu.

He asked calmly: "I ask you, why did you kill the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin?"

Yuchi Gongshu's expression became complicated from the moment Zhao Huan stood up from the dragon chair, until Zhao Huan stood in front of him, Yuchi Gongshu's evil spirit was completely gone, and he returned to his original respectful expression appearance.

The attribute of bastard qi is still the attribute of crushing evil spirit!Zhao Huan thought to himself mockingly.

Yuchi Gongshu bowed his head and said: "Officials, please forgive me for being rude."

"I have been in the Western Regions for a long time, and I heard that there is an emperor of the Song Dynasty who is civil and martial arts, the imperial conquest, the juncture of Ningwu, and never retreats. Da Song."

"I was a little disappointed to see the weak scholar from the official family. After several days in Bianjing, the official family never summoned me, and I was very impatient until I killed the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin. , Ask the envoy of the Jin people first, thinking that the emperor of the Song Dynasty is afraid of the Jin country and is a coward."

"That's why you are so disrespectful. I have no eyes. Please punish me from the officials."

Zhao Huan nodded, and signaled Yuchi Gongshu to sit down. With his skinny clothes and the heroic spirit between his brows, he can fool many people.

The reason why he walked up to Yuchi Gongshu so carelessly was because Zhao Ying followed him step by step.

Zhao Ying rolled her eyes, and before the official could react, she put a stool under the official.

Yuchi Gongshu said in a soft voice: "The officials asked me why they killed the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin."

"The affairs of the countries in the Western Regions, let him, a small country like the Jin Kingdom, dictate?! The minister was angry, but he was nagging again and again, and he was not a citizen of the Song Dynasty. In a fit of anger, the minister killed him."

"The envoy of Jin is not ashamed, and keeps belittling the Great Song! And the minister is from the Khotan royal family, how can you hear him insulting the Great Song like this!"

Khotan royal family!Yuchi's.

As the royal family of Khotan, how can they see the Jin Kingdom, one of the five wastes after the Tang Dynasty?

Yuchi Gongshu's eyes are full of memories, he listened to his father tell about the glory of the Khotan Kingdom and the connection between the Khotan Kingdom and the Central Plains Dynasty since he was a child.

"During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian went out to educate the people of Khotan, teach them to be effective, and the people to be virtuous. He gave our Khotan people clothes, taught me Khotan to train soldiers, read and write, and Khotan has always been the capital of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty. .”

"It's still 360 and three years!" When this mighty man mentioned this number, two lines of turbid tears slowly flowed down.

While the temple of Honglu Temple was looking around, Yuchi Gongshu was too emotional to speak now, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Officials, Sima Banchao of the Han Army helped Khotan restore the country, And with the soldiers of Khotan, they marched everywhere, attacking Gumo in the north, and smashing Shache and Shule in the west."

"With the help of Ban Chao, Khotan has become a powerful country in the Western Regions that 'all obey the thirteen kingdoms from the northwest to Shule. The soldiers are fifty thousand'."

"In the years of Zhenguan, before the establishment of the Protectorate of the Western Regions in the former Tang Dynasty, Tubo attacked Khotan, and Khotan King Fu Jixiong beat Tubo hard, and then entered the Tang Dynasty in person. The Tang King Khotan set up the Bisha Dudu Mansion, under the jurisdiction of 6 cities and 10 Jumi prefectures. .Before the Four Towns of Anxi."

"During the reign of Empress Wu Zetian, Empress Wu gave up the four towns of Anxi on the grounds that the affairs of the country should be benevolent rather than broad, and that the affairs should be nourished rather than killed. The generals will rest in contempt, rest their soldiers, and act like the Three Emperors and Five Emperors."

"However, the Kingdom of Khotan still pays tribute every year, and regards officials as courtesies. In the former Tang Dynasty, Wang Xiaojie, the general manager of the Wuwei Army, regained the four towns of Anxi, and he was even more sad."

"There were two Khotan kings who changed Yuchi's surname to Li. Originally, Khotan wanted to change the surname of the whole country, but because Yuchi is the surname of the country, in order to avoid conflicts, only the king changed his surname to Li."

"In the troubled times at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the country of the Five Dynasties, Khotan would pay tribute almost every few years."

"Prime Minister Zhang Dun even made an appointment with Khotan to attack Xixia and recover Yumen Pass and other places in Guazhou. But it was lost during the Xuanhe period."

"Since Zhang Qian went out of the fortress, Khotan has never broken the bond with our Central Plains. However, in the second year of Xiangfu, the envoy of Gaochang Kingdom made a good relationship with Da Song Xiu Guoshu, and news came that Khotan would destroy the country."

The temple of Honglu Temple is slowly telling the history of the Khotan Kingdom, while Yuchi Gongshu in the court hall is already weeping.

A stout man like a hill, sitting on a chair, crying makes people feel distressed.

"It's me, Da Song, who is sorry for your country of Khotan." Zhao Huan said with a sigh.

Yuchi Gongshu finally stopped crying and said: "Officials, I am here this time as an envoy from Gaochang, but for the country of Khotan! Please the officials canonize the king of Khotan again. The whole country of Khotan will be honored. The Great Song Dynasty is looking ahead!"

"How many survivors of Khotan are there?" Zhao Huan asked.

"There are more than 3000 households with [-] households, [-] people, and [-] soldiers." Yuchi Gongshu said without hesitation.

Zhao Huan asked again, "What about the Uighurs in Gaochang? What about Heihan? What about Yelu Dashi? What about Dashi?"

Yuchi Gongshu immediately said: "Gaochang has 12 households, [-] people, and [-] soldiers. Heikhan has [-] households and [-] soldiers. Yelu Dashi is not clear."

"White Clothes Dashi has already subjugated the country, and now it is Black Clothes Dashi, with more than 8000 million households, more than [-] million people, and countless soldiers."

"However, the countries in Black Yi Da Shi are far away, and there are very few troops left in the countries of the Western Regions. Hei Khan is supported by Black Yi Da Shi."

Naturally, he had made sufficient preparations for coming to Bianjing, and he knew everything about it long ago.

Zhao Huan nodded, looked at Yuchi Gongshu and said, "Even the weakest Hei Khan, Khotan is not strong enough to fight. Khotan has shed too much blood, so forget it, you move back to the pass. .”

Yuchi Gongshu said anxiously, "The official..."

Zhao Huan said: "We can't fight any more. If you fight Khotan again, you will be gone. Do you know that? Yelu Dashi led a hundred thousand young and middle-aged men, all of them armored and pointed at the Western Regions. You can't resist it." "

Zhao Huan patted Yuchi Gongshu and stood up, and said: "I know your ardent heart, but Khotan moved back to the pass to recuperate and wait for the right time to enter the Western Regions!"

Zhao Huan said with piercing eyes: "For the good of the Khotan people, listen to me."

"Okay." Yuchi Gongshu hesitated for a long time before answering.

Zhao Huan nodded. This is a friendship of 300 years. Zhao Huan is unwilling to discard it like this. They are in the Western Regions. Although they are named Khotan, they really care about the Central Plains.

When Song Dynasty was a little promising, Khotan sent people here, which was really not easy.

The reason why Zhao Huan is unwilling to enter the Western Regions now is to avoid fighting on two fronts.

On the Jin people's side, it can be said that there is blood and deep hatred, and they have to avenge it. This is a hatred that can only be offset by destroying the other party's country.

Otherwise, the people on Dasong East Road, Hebei Liang Road, and Jingji Road will be the first to refuse.

If we rashly attack the Western Regions at this time and fight on two fronts, it is simply unrealistic with the current strength of Zhao Huan.

"Give [-] soldiers of Zhongtai Lieutenant to help the people of Khotan withdraw to Guanzhong and settle down. Scatter out of the Imperial City Sichazi to investigate the Western Regions and prepare for the march. I will go there one day!" Zhao Huan said while looking at the Kanyu map. .

He explained to Yuchi Gongshu that he could not enter the Western Regions now.

"Are you interested in becoming an official in Song Dynasty?" Zhao Huan asked suddenly.

"Ah?" Yuchi Gongshu glanced at Shen Cong's small arms and legs, and said with a slight smile: "Then the minister came to the Song Dynasty, isn't he invincible in the world?"

Zhao Huan shook his head, it is the nature of a soldier to be competitive, and Shen Cong's height and weight are far inferior to Yuchi Gongshu's.

This is inherently impossible.

He smiled and said: "I have a great general, Yue Fei, who is victorious in every battle and is invincible. Do you want to try?"

"Okay!" Yuchi Gongshu readily agreed.

It's just that he didn't know what kind of tough man he had offended.

　Description of Khotan's appearance: People from all countries west of Gaochang have deep eyes and high noses, but this one country (Khotan) is not very ugly, and is quite similar to Huaxia.From Northern History.
