Chapter 23 Where to Go
Ge Du held a spear and was wearing his armor when he was young, but it didn't look very fit and was a little small.
Zhang Zhao guessed that Ge Duo was a top warrior ten years ago. There were countless Tubo warriors who died under his command. But today ten years later, he had already fallen into depravity and corruption.
Although he was a horse thief, he was in the sandbank in the Hexi Corridor, where yellow sand was everywhere and there was not abundant resources, but as a horse thief leader who commanded hundreds of horse thieves and was named Tongda Guasha.
Ge Du's life is still very good. He has six or seven wives and concubines, and can eat half a sheep in one meal. The big butt can't fit into the saddle, and the big belly can't wear armor. How can he have the courage of his youth?
This is also the reason why Ge Duo escaped decisively, cherish his life! Those who are older and have better conditions and feel that they should enjoy life are most cherishing their lives! When encountering danger, the first choice is how to protect everything they already have.
"Wind! Wind! Wind! Wind!" An excited voice sounded, and Zhang Zhao, who was wearing only a pair of shorts with a vest on his bare body, jumped flexibly twice.
He held a pointed hammer in one hand and a hand with the other. The more enthusiastic the shouts around him, the more excited he became, as if he had returned to the all-Article fighting field.
Ge Du's face looked very ugly, his black and yellow face was frozen ashen, his nose was red, and his hands were a little stiff. He didn't feel the "wind! wind!" coming everywhere was cheering him up, but it seemed to be sending him to his end.
"I killed you! Oh!" Han Feng easily got into the armor and made Ge Du feel more and more uncomfortable. He finally found some of his feelings before, and the eight-foot-long spear stabbed Zhang Zhao's chest wall.
Slow! The movement is too slow! It is too obvious! Zhang Zhao clearly felt that Ge Du's martial arts value was much worse than that of Qiongre Duojin, who had just been bandaged. The direction of the spearhead stabbing was too obvious, and the speed and strength of the stabbing were not sufficient.
‘Bang!’ Zhang Zhao gently knocked his hand and easily slammed Ge Du. Seeing this, Ge Du immediately withdrew the gun and wanted to continue stabbing again. However, Zhang Zhao didn’t give him this chance. My brother simply threw the hand in his hand and grabbed the gun and pulled it with his left hand.
Ge Du was a little overwhelmed, so he quickly pulled the gun back. After the two of them had a few breaths, Zhang Zhao suddenly relaxed again. Ge Du, who was trying his best to "tug-of-war" with Zhang Zhao, was caught off guard and fell to the ground like a bucket.
Too easy!
The Uighurs around, especially Bai Congxin, all showed expressions of not being able to see them anymore.
They never expected that their Dagan, the bald tiger that had been traversing the sandbank for more than 20 years, would be so vulnerable after losing all its halo.
Zhang Zhao showed a hint of cruelty on his face. He didn't plan to let Ge Du go, and wanted to be the groom for me! Cuckold me! Are you fucking worthy?
Before Ge Duo stood up, Zhang Zhao rushed to the ground with a thirty pounds. He directly pressed Ge Du's pocket with his left hand, no matter how this guy punched and kicked, he would not let go. At the same time, the pointed hammer on his right hand hit him down!
one time!
Two moves!
Three strokes!
"Ah! Give me your life! Give me your life! Give me your life!" A shrill scream and begging for mercy kept ringing, and the fat Ge Du kept kicking his legs on the ground, bringing up dust.
Ge Duo, who had basically not spoke much since he was caught, begging for mercy, but Zhang Chao didn't care at all, and continued to hammer Ge Du's pocket hard.
Gradually, the begging for mercy became vague, extremely weak, and silent.
Gradually, Ge Du stopped struggling, and his fat elephant legs stopped kicking around.
Dead!
Over twenty years after surrounding Shazhou, Cao advised the Jinshu Shouchang envoy, Jieduan, and general Luo Xianda to lead the bandit Bald Tiger, who was not caught by 400 elite cavalry, and was killed by Zhang Zhao, who was held down by an unknown stream.
"Erlangjun is mighty!" As soon as Ge Du stopped moving, Madam Cao San walked up. She spat at Ge Du's body in disgust.
"Please allow me to cut off the head of this evil thief and take it back to Dunhuang to demonstrate the divine power of the Erlang!"
I'll go! How did the Cao family educate their daughter? This woman is as used to killing people and beheading her head like eating and sleeping. She doesn't look like the granddaughter of the Lord of One's side. This is Sun Erniang from Cross Po, right?
"Bai Congxin, don't you still worship Erlangjun? Do you want to be buried here?"
After asking Zhang Zhao, the third lady Cao did not rush to behead her head, but shouted at a group of Uighur horse thieves who didn't know what to do. By the way, she also gave Zhang Zhong behind Zhang Zhao a wink.
Old Zhang Zhong finally came to his senses. He actually contacted Ge Du and his group! He had not only met Ge Du, but also Bai Congxin, Qiongre Duojin and others.
"Bai Congxin, Huang Yang'er, I have made an appointment with you before. Ge Duo is brave and untrustful and righteous, and you have already been killed. Why don't you please visit Erlangjun quickly?"
"I don't know how Erlangjun will deal with us?" A group of Uighurs looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally Bai Congxin came out to speak. He was Ge Du's nephew and still had some prestige among the bandits.
Zhang Zhao smiled. It’s time to bargain?
"It's not just how someone deals with you, but how you deal with yourself? Shazhou, I won't be able to make it, but Ge Du is dead. Do you still have a place to go? I'm afraid there will be no chance to return to Qilian Mountain?"
Bai Congxin and others were pale when they said this. Although Ge Du had already looked fierce and cowardly, he was still a big banner, a big banner that could call on people's hearts. Without Ge Du, no one among these horse thieves would be willing to obey the leaders of other people, and the disbandment was right in front of him.
However, in the horse thief industry, it is not easy to wash your hands in a safe and sound manner, let alone break up like this.
Zhang Zhao guessed that they must have many enemies, and it would be difficult for them to save their lives after losing the protection of the horse thieves.
Moreover, they could not go back to Ge Du's nest, and Ge Du's relatives were there. They saw that Ge Du was killed without help, and they would not be accepted even if they returned, and they were more likely to be killed!

"Erlangjun is brave and powerful. We are also recruited by Erlangjun. Where should we go after we don't plan to make a sandbank? Please give me some advice!"
Bai Congxin still refused to let go. Zhang Zhao also looked at this guy in surprise. He said nicely and his posture was very low, but he was a master who didn't see a rabbit and didn't show off his eagle. He was quite calm.
Where should I go in the future? Zhang Zhao has been thinking about this question for a long time.
In fact, he had similar situations to these horse thieves. It would be impossible to return to a quiet life in the sandbank. If this happened, the Cao family might be able to tolerate him.
Because the original Zhang Zhao was an ordinary waste, and waste has the benefits of waste, that is, the Cao family would not worry about him being able to make any waves, and it would not be easy to target him.
Given the current status of Cao Yijin and the Cao family in Guasha Prefectures, if they can't even tolerate a waste, it will easily attract criticism, which is not cost-effective.
But now it’s different. Zhang Zhao won a great victory with one against a hundred, and even killed the horse bandit bald tiger with his own hands. Cao Sanniang said that he had the courage of Qingji, and with the blessing of the Taibao Public Examination Saint that had been spread, this is such a vivid master!
No matter how big the Cao family is, it will definitely not be able to tolerate such descendants of Zhang Chengfeng.
"I'm going west!" Zhang Zhao thought for a while, then coughed dryly.
"Going west?" Bai Congxin and Zhang Zhong looked at Zhang Zhao hesitantly.
At this time, to the west of the Shazhou was a tribal alliance called Zhongyun. These were joined by the Uighurs, Canwei people and other Turkic tribes to form Zhongyun Kingdom and occupied Shanshan (Loulan), Pu Tao City, Xincheng, Qiemo, Ruoqiang and other places that were originally from Shazhou.
This is not a good place to go! Bai Congxin's expression became ugly, because this place is too poor, with yellow sand everywhere. If it weren't for the ability to communicate with things, it would be almost dead.
For example, Shanshan has migrated several times because the Puchang Sea (Lop Nur) is shrinking and the surrounding oasis is also decreasing.
If this broken land was rich, it would have been occupied by Shazhou or Gaochang Uighurs. And it was such a broken land. Canwei people, like poor ghosts, have established administrative systems, including the king, the prime minister, and the governor, and it is even more difficult to tame.
When I go to Zhongyun, it’s better to continue going back to Qilian Mountain to eat snow!
However, Bai Congxin and Zhang Zhong thought that Zhang Zhao was going to take refuge in Zhongyun, but someone knew that it was not. The lady Cao San, who was about to be beaten to the head, came over with Ge Du, who was about to be beaten to the point of being beaten. Her beautiful eyes were full of dazzling colors.
"The Erlangjun not only has the courage to celebrate the ecstasy, but also the wisdom of King Zhuge Wuling!
Khotan is a good place! His Majesty Wubo, the Great Sage of the Jin Kingdom, Dabao, His Majesty Wubo, is the uncle of Erlangjun. If the husband is willing to return to Khotan for his mother, the Princess Li of Dabao, the Emperor of Jin will definitely accept it happily, and the King of Duke has nothing to say."
King Zhuge Wuling was Zhuge Liang. This was his title in the Tang Dynasty. People in the Tang Dynasty already admired Zhuge Liang very much.
The Jin Kingdom was later the Kingdom of Khotan. Since the title of the Kingdom of Khotan was given by Shi Jingtang, the son emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, in the third year of Tianfu (938), they now claim to be the Kingdom of Jin.
Wubo, the great sage of the Jin Kingdom, Yuchi Seng, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was a famous person in history, who had been alone in the Western Regions for a hundred years and adhered to the Han culture.
Li Shengtian's sister, Princess Li of the Dachao Dabao, was Zhang Chengfeng's wife, and Zhang Zhao's legitimate mother, so Li Shengtian was Zhang Zhao's legitimate uncle.
The Kingdom of Khotan is a major country in the Western Regions, and its national strength is still above the Gaochang Uighurs and Kara Khanate. Zhang Zhao's trip to join Li Shengtian was indeed a wonderful flag. Not only could he stay away from the Cao family, but he could also get support and activity space for Gutian.
"Yutan!" Bai Congxin's eyes lit up suddenly. It was really a good idea to go out. Yuutan was not only rich but also the uncle of the second son of the Zhang family. It was not only much better than suffering from the Qilian Mountains, but also better than wandering in the sandbanks.
This is the role of the descendants of the famous family. Bai Congxin and others have been circulating in Shazhou for decades, and they don’t even have a place to live. Zhang Zhao is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and anyone accepts him wherever he goes.
"Erlangjun! I beg you to take us in. We are willing to follow Erlangjun through fire and water!"
Bai Congxin took the lead in kneeling on the still bloody ground, and the Uighurs around him also knelt down.
"You say follow me and follow me? Come if there is any benefit, and run away if there is no benefit. Why do 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 unhappy. I was hesitant just now, but now I know that I can go to the Kingdom of Khotan and Xiaoyao, so I come up. How can I do that so good!
"Erlangjun! I know where Ge Du's village is. There are still Ge Du's relatives and family members in the village who can be eradicated, and there are countless salt, grain, cloth and treasures. Ge Du's wealth plundered over the years is in his village. I am willing to be the pioneer and get it for Er Langjun!" Bai Congxin gritted his teeth and took out the bait that Zhang Zhao could not refuse.
Hey! Yes! Ge Duo has been in Shazhou for so many years and must have countless treasures. This fortune will not be white or released!
"Hahaha! Brother Bai, I, Zhang Zhao, is not a person who loves money, but this is God and I will definitely get it! When I get Ge Du's treasure, I will share it with you brothers. We will be a family in the future. We will enjoy the blessings and share difficulties!"
Zhang Zhao's statement also made the Uighurs around him excited. Ge Du was actually quite stingy. If he was not his confidant, he would definitely not be able to take advantage of him. Moreover, this guy has a lot of savings. If Zhang Zhao was willing to share some of them, everyone could get a lot of them.
"Erlangjun, if you want to get Ge Du's treasure, you still need to bring me with you. I know Ge Du's treasure land!"
A dull voice came from behind everyone. Zhang Zhao turned around and saw that he was talking to Ge Du's confidant, the Qiongredo, who was stabbed by Zhang Zhao.
Qiongredojin walked over slowly, regardless of the pain of the wound on his body, and knelt down in front of Zhang Zhao on his knees.
"Gedu gave a little Tanggu (skin pocket) tsampa to survive my sister's life. He protected Gedu for ten years and almost died several times in ten years. He had already paid off his kindness. His injury was bandaged by Erlangjun, and this life belonged to Erlangjun!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Zhang Zhao walked over slowly. Although Qiongrei looked like he didn't leave me and I was determined to be you, Zhang Zhao couldn't treat him like Bai Congxin.
Because this guy is a confidant who always stands with a knife when he drinks and eats meat, and his martial arts are pretty good. If such a person is easily taken, when will he give you a knife, it will be quite unprepared to be guarded.
"Erlangjun, this person is Ge Du's confidant, and he is not trustworthy! Even if we bandage him, he is merciful and must not be taken away. Just drive him away after he is injured!"
Zhang Zhong hurried over and persuaded him, he was afraid that Zhang Zhao would believe this guy easily like he recruited Bai Congxin.
"If Erlangjun doesn't believe it, in addition to help Erlangjun find Ge Du treasure, he has dozens of relatives in Chaidan. The clan is skilled in bows and horses, and all of them can serve Erlangjun!"
Seeing that Zhang Zhao and others didn't believe him too much, Qiongre was a little anxious.
"I can find Ge Du's treasure without you leading the way. Under the sword and axe, I don't believe that Ge Du's wife and children can withstand it. I don't want the warriors who are skilled in bows and horses, because there are more of the Jin Dynasty!
But since someone saved you, he would still be willing to give you a chance. If you give a reason, a reason to trust you, I will allow you to surrender." Zhang Zhao nodded to Zhang Zhong, reassuring him.
Qiongredo Jin smiled bitterly, and then a look of hope flashed across his face, "Regarding Erlangjun, someone is not a Kucha, but a Tubo slave soldier. If it were not for Ge Du's protection, his family would have been tolerated by the Kucha people.
Now that Ge Du is dead and there is no other powerful leader to surrender, dozens of people in the clan will have only one way out.
Even before my eyes, I can’t recover from this injury for about one hundred years. It’s not just a false surrender, but it’s actually someone who wants to survive!”
Zhang Zhao did not speak, but looked at Bai Congxin behind him, and Bai Congxin nodded.
"This person's name is Qiongreduojin, and he was indeed from the slave soldier of Chai Dan's downtown Dongdai."
Dongdai was the official position of the Tubo Empire's military and political unity, and sometimes it was translated as Qianhu. Chaidan was a generation in the Qaidam Basin in later generations, just on the Qilian Mountains south of Shazhou.
Tubo slave soldiers! It’s interesting!
