Chapter IX Northwest Lonely Loyal Zhang Yichao

Zhang Zhao, born in the second year of Ganhua in Liang (912), was the youngest son of Zhang Chengfeng, the white emperor of Jinshan Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Huaiding, the third generation governor of Guiyi Army, and the great-grandson of Zhang Yichao, the great-grandson of Zhang Yichao, and also a brother Zhang Qing (geng four-tone), who died during the Zhang period of the Cao family.

His place is the Hexi Corridor, which is far away from the Central Plains, and the Jinshan Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty is a country that even history enthusiasts rarely know, because it not only has a small territory, but has only existed for about four years, and historical materials are pitifully small.

The only certain thing is that this small country is Zhang Chengfeng, the grandson of Zhang Yichao, the great hero Zhang Yichao, who regained the six counties of Hexi. The unlucky father, the protagonist, and the only Han regime in the northwest established by the Guasha Prefectures of the Guiyi Army.

The west refers to the direction, and the Han refers to the Han people. Jinshan is in the southwest of Dunhuang, which is later Aljinshan. At this time, people in the Dunhuang area regarded Jinshan as a protective sacred mountain and once became synonymous with Shazhou.

Therefore, the meaning of the Jinshan Kingdom in the Western Han Dynasty was that it was established by the Han people in the west. However, although Zhang Chengfeng used the title of His Majesty and called himself the Emperor in White, he did not use the title of emperor.

Zhang Zhao's nominal mother was the sister of Li Shengtian of Khotan and the daughter of King Yuchitian Pirama of Khotan. In fact, her mother was the niece of Song, the niece of Cao Yijin, who succeeded Zhang as the governor of Guiyi Army.

After the Cao family replaced Zhang, the young Zhang Zhao was taken to Shouchang, southwest of Dunhuang, his grandfather's family, and his mother, Yuchi and Song family, were still alive.

Although Zhang Zhao was tall and weak, he might have witnessed the tragic experience of his father and brother, and his mind was directly destroyed. He had done nothing except chanting Buddha's name for 17 years in his life.

The only time he was stubborn was that he had suddenly asked to go to a cave temple to visit Buddha. No matter how everyone persuaded him, he refused to go back. Even his biological mother Song sent someone to persuade him. The old servant Zhongweng had to send him grain and rice every two days. This should be the cave that Zhang Chao traveled through.

Lao Zhongweng was a member of the Zhang family for generations. After the Cao family replaced the Jin Dynasty, Zhang Zhao saved his life with the help of his mother, Yuchi and his biological mother, Song. He was arranged by the Cao family to live in Shouchang City, southwest of Dunhuang.

Because Shouchang is located in the southwest of Dunhuang, no matter who goes to Shouchang, he must pass through Dunhuang for easy supervision and supervision. Zhongweng is the only old servant who follows him.

Ge Du, nicknamed Bald Tiger, is a group of horse thieves who have recently risen in Shouchang, while Dagan means the leader of the Uighurs. Most of their members are Kucha Uighurs who were forcibly moved to the Qilian Mountains by the Tubo people a few decades ago.

After Tubo declined sharply in recent years, he could no longer control these Uighurs, so they began to descend from the Qilian Mountains in groups to settle or nomadic states with better living conditions. The bald tiger was the largest of these Uighur horse thieves.

It is the second year of Changxing in the Tang Dynasty. Note that this Tang Dynasty is not the famous Li Tang, but the actor who likes actors and can sing a few words. In the first half of his life, he adheres to the will of the Three Arrows of King Jin, and in the second half of his life, he likes actors almost died and the country is destroyed. The Later Tang Dynasty established by Li Cunxu, the Emperor Zhuang Tang Dynasty.

In the second year of Changxing, Li Siyuan, the Mingzong of Later Tang, who came out to clean up the mess after Li Cunxu died. At this time, the Later Liang Dynasty, whose father was kind and son filial, was already over, and even Li Cunxu who destroyed them, was gone.

The Tang Dynasty has become a gradually vague concept in the hearts of the Han people in Hexi.

I didn't sleep well last night. I kept thinking about Zhang Chao whom I encountered in my dreams and walked out of the temple where Qi Xiahu arranged for them to rest.

This temple is located near the top of the mountain. Looking down to the mountain, it is a huge valley.

A lot of fertile fields have been reclaimed in the valley, and there are streams passing through it. The entrance of the valley is narrow and easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, there is still a distance from the entrance of the valley, which is very suitable as a peach blossom land in troubled times.

But now, this Peach Blossom Land is probably not guaranteed, because the tents with the Uighur style are obviously piled up by the stream, with at least thirty or forty tents. There are also some Uighur women around the tent laughing loudly and fetching water by the stream.

How could this be a common plan for major events? It is clearly a place to occupy the magpie's nest.

"What a great thing Zhong Weng plans! How does it feel to have a skin to fight with a tiger?" The old man Zhong Weng walked over in a daze, and Zhang Chao couldn't help but sarcastically sarcasticly.

After accepting Zhang Zhao's memory, he found that the old man had been planning to restore Zhang's glory since he was a few years old. When Zhang Chengfeng's own son had no intention, the old man was not anxious and the eunuch was anxious. He worked hard for more than ten years and finally became this "big event!"

Ridiculous and sad!

"Mr.... servant..." With just one sentence, Zhang Chao made the old man's eyes red. No matter how stupid he was, he also saw Ge Du's posture and tricks last night. The horns that had been trapped in more than ten years were completely destroyed in one night.

He felt that great things were accomplished, and he thought of "subduing" the Uighurs for their own use to restore the Zhang family. Now he realized that the Uighurs were just fooling him a few days ago.

Before the matter could be done, the cannibalistic face began to be revealed. When things were done, I am afraid that the next one to be eliminated would be them.

A few tears fell from his dry eyes on his old face, his gray-white hair was untreated, as messy as a bird's nest, and his dark face was full of ravines, and everything was showing his inner pain and the suffering of life.

Zhang Chao suddenly couldn't bear to say anything else. According to memory, this body was suspected by the Cao family and the pigs were disliked by the dogs. Even his mother, Yuchi and his biological mother, Song, did not dare to pay too much attention to him, for fear of attracting dissatisfaction from the Cao family.

Therefore, in the past seventeen years of life, the only relative who thinks he is the master and the noble man of heaven is this old servant Zhang Zhong.

The two of them silently circled the simple temple for a long time. Zhang Chao searched everywhere, wanting to see if there would be a statue of the dream here.

Several women who were cleaning the sweeping looked at him curiously and chattered. It was obvious that his identity as the son of the emperor in white was very mysterious to these ordinary people. There were even two naughty boys who ran to Zhang Chao to see his appearance, and then ran away quickly as his mother blamed him.

Suddenly, Zhang Chao was shocked suddenly. At the entrance of the main hall of this temple, an oil lamp that he was very familiar with was lying alone on the ground.

"Zhongweng, who is this god statue?" Zhang Chao, who couldn't wait to break in in the main hall of the temple, finally found an existence that was exactly the same as the god statue in his dream. A statue of god had fallen off and cracked everywhere, but was still majestic.

"This is the great-grandfather of the husband, the Han people of the six counties in Hexi! The Taibao of the Tang Dynasty was granted the title of founding Duke of Nanyang, the governor of Guiyi Army, and Zhang Wei was the title of Duke of Chao of Shangyi!

Without Taibaogong, we are still like pigs and dogs under the rule of Tubo. Without Taibaogong, the Hexi Han Dynasty might have become a barbarian who does not know his ancestors and does not know culture and education like the late Han Dynasty!”

Old Zhang Zhong's face was full of excitement, and a look of pride flashed on his face full of gullies. It was an infinite nostalgia for the glory of the past.
