Chapter 32 The Guiyi Army and the Ganzhou Uighurs-Father and Son Bureau

 "Why did Erlangjun write about King Ling?" Cao Sanniang laughed a few times like a silver bell and then asked. This was the first time Zhang Zhao saw her laughing so happily.

"Because a certain year is nineteen, and King Ling is fifty-nine, and he is still strong for five years. King Ling is in another five years..."

Zhang Zhao didn't finish his words, but the meaning was very obvious. He was only twenty-four after five years, and Cao Yijin had already sixty-four in the fifth year.

In this era, he was in the four battles of the Guiyi Army, which he had to do his best to maintain. Since Zhang Yichao established the Guiyi Army, except for himself, the governor of the Guiyi Army did not live beyond 60 years old.

"Yes! Erlangjun is younger than the slave now five years later, let alone the Lord Ling Gong!"

Cao Sanniang stood up, bent down and cried on the table, put her head in front of Zhang Zhao, with red lips and a nose, and her peach blossom eyes with three-point pink were watery. Two pieces of soft meat were spread flat on the table, making it even more 'big!'

"And I can tell you that King Ling Gong's health is actually not very good. This year, the alliance with Khan of Hue, Ganzhou is forced to go!"

Zhang Zhao nodded suddenly, "So that's it. I mean, it's my Dunhuang Kingdom that suppresses the Ganzhou Uighurs. Why would King Ling Gong still condescend to Ganzhou!"

At this time, the biggest enemy of the Guiyi Army was the Ganzhou Uighurs in the east. Zhang Zhao's father Zhang Chengfeng failed to fight with the Ganzhou Uighurs, and was forced to abdicate the Ganzhou Uighurs Tianmu Khan as his father. He lost the hearts of the people and had to abdicate.

In addition, the Ganzhou Uighurs often blocked the Guiyi Army's tribute and trade routes to the Central Plains court, so the conflict between the two sides was very deep.

After Cao replaced Zhang, in order to get rid of this humiliating identity, Cao Yijin proposed to Ganzhou as the governor of Guiyi Army.

He married the daughter of Tianmu Khan, who is the current Hue Khan Yao Ge Luo Renyu's aunt, Princess Tian.

This made the governor of Guiyi Army the real son of the Ganzhou Uighur Tianmu Khan, and got rid of the humiliating position of being forced to recognize his father.

Later, during the more than ten years of civil strife in the Ganzhou Uighurs after Tianmu Khan's death, Cao Yijin quickly seized the opportunity to break through Ganzhou, and then married his daughter born to Princess Li of Yao Ge Luo and Renyu's brother, the previous Ganzhou Khan Yao Ge Luo and Aduoyu.

From then on, the governor of Guiyi Army turned into the father-in-law of the Uighur Khan of Ganzhou. It was the turn of the Khan of Ganzhou to be his son and Cao Yijin to be his father.

Over the past decade, the positions of father and son on both sides were reversed, which was considered a shameless accusation.

Although A Duyu was a short-lived ghost, Cao Yijin's father-in-law had not been a part of a few years, the situation where Guiyi army was strong and Ganzhou was weak had already formed.

So if we had a normal alliance, it would be that this generation of Hue Khan drug from the Uighurs in Ganzhou, Ge Luo and Renyu came to Dunhuang, rather than Cao Yijin going to Ganzhou.

However, when I heard the secret revealed by Cao Sanniang, everything was explained. The reason why the Ganzhou Uighurs were at a disadvantage was not that their strength was weaker than that of the Guiyi Army, but that Cao Yijin was very capable and afraid of the Ganzhou Uighurs.

However, this advantage formed entirely by the Jun Shang’s personal ability is not solid.

In recent years, the Uighurs in Ganzhou began to jump up and down again because Cao Yijin was not in good health and could not manage the government for a long time.

That's why Cao Yijin ran to Ganzhou despite his health, regardless of his health. This is to tell the Ganzhou Uighurs that I'm in good health. Don't fucking jump, whoever jumps and hits whoever jumps.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao was in a bad mood. He sighed, although it was Cao Yijin who overthrew Zhang Chengfeng's position as emperor.

But in fact, this was not deliberately promoted by Cao Yijin, but that after Zhang Chengfeng recognized the Uighur Khan in Ganzhou as his father, the Jinshan Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty could no longer be maintained.

The Cao family's reign on Zhang can almost be said to be a bloodless coup, except for Qi Xiahu's father Qi Jiarun who brought the imperial guards to resist a little, and Zhang Chengfeng's eldest son, who was suffering from dysentery, was frightened, which led to his worsening condition and death.

Even Zhang Huaiqing of the Zhang family in Nanyang, Zhang Chengfeng's cousin, Zhang Yichao's nephew, and Zhang Yichao's cousin, Zhang Xishou, the monks in front of the yamen, Zhang Liangzhen, did not resist, and of course he was not liquidated afterwards.

The only one who was unlucky in this coup was Zhang Zhao, the two-year-old Revr, Qi Xiahu and others.

From Zhang Zhao's standpoint, he had reason to resent Cao Yijin because his father Zhang Chengfeng died of depression two years later. He was under surveillance for more than ten years and deprived of all power.

But from the perspective of most of the Guiyi Army, they benefited from this coup. Without Cao Yijin's strong support after taking power, the Guiyi Army in Guasha Prefectures, not to mention that it could still suppress the Uighurs in Ganzhou, it would probably have exploded directly on the spot and no longer existed.

"Why is the health suddenly worrying before the age of being obedient to the ears? This is really bad news! I have just passed a few years of peace, so are we going to have trouble again?"

Lady Cao San looked at his expression carefully in front of Zhang Zhao's eyes, and after a while, she sat back and looked even more excited.

"I now feel that Erlangjun will definitely accomplish great things. At least if I am Erlangjun, I will only be secretly happy for the King of Lords to go west and never think it is bad news.

Erlangjun can have this mind and this understanding, not be blinded by personal grudges, and not lose judgment because of hatred. This is the case with the ancient wise king!"

"Mingjun?" Zhang Zhao smiled, "Is the third lady making fun of me? I am now in such a team of less than a hundred people. I am so shameless that I call myself a captain. Where can I start with this Mingjun?"

"I didn't make fun of Erlangjun! Because Erlangjun didn't know the responsibilities he should bear!"

Cao Sanniang still had a serious expression on his face, "Now my Dunhuang Kingdom looks prosperous and powerful, but in fact it is full of dangers, because the core of the Dunhuang Kingdom is only more than 100,000 Hexi Tang'er and more than 60,000 Chinese-made Sogdians."

"So little!" Zhang Zhao was shocked!

According to Zhang Zhao's memory and later speculations, the core troops of the Guiyi Army should have more than 300,000!

The most core of the Hexi Tanger must have at least 200,000, otherwise it will not be able to support 10,000 elite soldiers at all, and it will not be guaranteed that the Guasha and the other places will be dominated by Han culture. He never expected that the number of Hexi Tanger was half less than expected.

"The battle with Ganzhou Yuyou (Uighurs) twenty years ago really hurt our vitality.

In the Tang Er in Dunhuang, every family wore mourning and every household mourned. More than 10,000 elite soldiers died in battle. Later, they were forced to fight across the country, and Ding Zhuang suffered even more heavy losses!"

Lady Cao San smiled bitterly, and tears flashed in her eyes. Zhang Zhao was not born at that time, but Lady Cao San could remember it at the age of nine.

"The uncle's family on the left side of my family, all male members were recruited. The whole family went eleven, and only three returned.

What a good boy, Suo Sanlang! This cousin, who is familiar with the meaning of the scriptures, can open a hard bow, understand the rhythm, and plays the vertical guzheng.

When I was young, my mother always asked the slave with a smile, how about marrying my third cousin?”

Speaking of this, Cao San Madam's face suddenly changed, and even her pair of peach blossom eyes emitted infinite evil spirits and sorrow due to extreme anger and pain.

"When I saw my third cousin again, he was already a headless corpse. His head was cut off by the Jewels and has not been found yet. The hands that were good at playing the vertical guzheng were also smashed by a hammer!

That year, he was only fifteen years old! I almost forgot about his appearance!"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Cao was already crying and crying.

Note: The Guiyi Army’s contemptuous name for the Ganzhou Uighurs means a short-legged, mixed-haired monkey.
