After the war, statistics of the results showed that the Tubo side lost thirty corpses, while the Tang army also lost twenty people and ten were seriously injured.
These Tang soldiers buried the bodies of their companions with sad faces, and then prepared to return to Guazhou City with their seriously injured companions.
When Li Yanliang found out his identity as the county king, he asked about the news about the letter from the Hexi Jiedushi envoy asking for help.
Xue Cheng was just a brigade commander commanding a hundred men. He was frightened when he saw Li Yan and couldn't ask any questions. He only said that he should go to the city to find Zhang Xian, the governor of Guazhou, and explain it to Li Yan.
Guazhou was not far from the battlefield. Under the leadership of Xue Cheng, it took everyone an hour to arrive at Guazhou City.
"The rain is passing over the city, and the orioles are climbing up the garrison.
The flowers in the plugs bring tears to visitors, and the willows on the edges hang with homesickness.
White hair is a mirror of sorrow, youth is replaced by old fur.
Your envoy from thousands of miles away has heard that you have arrived in Guazhou."
Cui Tao read a poem, and Yu Chixin beside him asked:
"Is this a poem about Guazhou?"
Cui Tao nodded and said: "This is Cen Shen's "Wuwei Spring Evening Wen Yuwen Judge Xi Shi has arrived in Jinchang". Calculating the time, he should be in Beiting of Longyou Road now."
Yu Chixin was shocked and said: "You said the person who wrote this poem is still alive?"
Cui Tao nodded and said, "Well, he's still alive. I don't know if the game has this NPC, but I quite like Cen Shen's frontier poems."
Yu Chixin said with a smile: "Then you can't copy it, the real owner is still alive."
Cui Tao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Who said I was going to copy it? I was just inspired by this ancient Guazhou city."
The city wall in Guazhou is not very high, and there are acres of farmland outside the city.
The Shule River flows along Guazhou City, and not far to the north is the famous "Daze" of Longyou Road in the Tang Dynasty.
Cui Tao looked at the fertile acres and said: "In our time, Guazhou was surrounded by desert, and Daze, which was once famous in the Tang Dynasty, had long since evaporated."
"I didn't expect that Guazhou would be so rich in the Tang Dynasty. No wonder people in the late Tang Dynasty lamented the richness of Longyou."
"I don't understand your sour things, but this Guazhou is pretty good. Can we develop here?"
Cui Tao nodded: "Guazhou is a good place, the most suitable place for our humble growth."
"But I don't know whether Zhang Xian, the governor of Guazhou, will cooperate or not."
Zhang Xian, the governor of Guazhou, was a thin, middle-aged man and a cautious official.
After verifying Li Yan's defenses and seals, and seeing the fish talisman used by Li Yan to mobilize troops, and the gold seal representing the county king, he opened the gate of Guazhou City and welcomed Li Yan and his party into the city.
But upon entering Guazhou City, Li Yan felt a chilling atmosphere.
Every household in Guazhou City is wrapped with white gauze. The population in the city is very small, and the scene is desolate.
Guazhou City is the city of Guazhou and is the most prosperous place in Guazhou.
Datang adopted a three-level system of county, state and road.
The county is the county seat. For example, Guazhou City is the county seat of Guazhou.
Guazhou is a prefecture-level city composed of several counties. If we just talk about Guazhou, it is a large area near Guazhou City.
The Dao is composed of several states. Similar to the provinces of later generations, the Longyou Dao is a huge province, covering the vast area from Xinjiang to Gansu and even Central Asia.
Logically speaking, Guazhou City is the capital city of Guazhou and should be a prosperous and prosperous place.
I didn't expect it to be so miserable.
As we entered the city, a system prompt rang in our ears:
[Congratulations to the host for defeating a Tibetan army and winning the love of the soldiers and people of Guazhou! 50 luck points. 】
This battle is really a big profit!
Although a few players were injured, none of them were serious.
According to Xue Cheng, once you enter Guazhou City and ask a doctor to bandage it, it will be fine.
After recording 50 points of luck, Li Yan asked:
"In addition to resurrecting recently deceased people, how else can the system recruit players?"
[The host can use luck points to create a body. A little luck can create an adult body, but the physical properties of the body are mediocre. 】
Li Yan silently calculated that if one bit of luck recruits the player's soul, and one bit of luck gives the player's body, then two points of luck recruit a player.
This seems to be a bit more expensive than directly resurrecting a recently deceased person.
But the advantage is that it is very troublesome to resurrect a newly deceased person, and it will be exposed if you meet an acquaintance.
And there weren't that many recently dead corpses for Li Yan to resurrect.
Just be more expensive, so that you can also provide players with the function of pinching faces.
Next, Li Yan said to the system: "System, it costs 20 luck points to open a forum in Blue Star, right?"
【Yes, host.】
"Then start by setting up a game forum. All netizens can browse the forum, and only players can speak with their real names."
"Can I also join the forum in the game? Can I join this forum too?"
【Yes, this forum connects the two worlds.】
"Then create a special section on the history of the Tang Dynasty, and give 2 contribution points to the player who carries the most information every month."
【Okay, host.】
There are still 30 luck points left. If you recruit players, you can only recruit 15 people.
It's better to save some and recruit again. Now that we have entered Guazhou City, it is considered safe for the time being.
Zhang Xian welcomed Li Yan and his party to the Governor's Mansion. After entering the Governor's Mansion, Zhang Mian, who was wearing a red official robe, said:
"Your Highness, your Majesty's letter for help was sent to Lingwu, and your Majesty sent a large army to garrison Longyou?"
"Forehead?"
"His Royal Highness! Nowadays, Dalu Shang Qixin'er in the northern part of Tubo keeps crossing the Qilian Mountains, causing friction between Tang and Fan. A while ago, the Tibetan border troops crossed the Dangjin Mountain Pass and plundered the vicinity of Shazhou City. They also sent a small group of Fan
The army that attacked Guazhou City was the same group of soldiers His Highness the County Prince encountered before entering the city."
Li Yan was also shocked when he heard Zhang Xian's words.
I didn't expect that the situation with Longyou Road would be so critical.
You must know that Shazhou City (Dunhuang) was an important town of the Tang Dynasty in Longyou, with five thousand Ludou troops stationed there to defend against Tibet.
However, before coming to Longyou, Guo Ziyi once told Li Yan that after Tubo learned about the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, it would definitely take action to annex the land of the Tang Dynasty.
But Li Yan didn't expect that Tubo would move so fast!
Zhang Xianlao said with tears: "Nowadays, households outside Guazhou City have been plundered many times. These Tubo people not only rob grain and livestock, but also arrest ordinary people and take them back to Tubo as slaves."
"The fate of the Han people who became slaves of the Tubo was extremely miserable, and they were often tortured to death in less than three years!"
"The old minister also asked the Moli Army to go out of the city to fight with the Tibetan army, but now there are only 500 Moli Army soldiers left, and they can barely defend Guazhou City."
"This time Brigadier Xue disobeyed military orders and went out to fight in the city, almost killing these one hundred elites!"
Li Yan asked doubtfully: "The Moli Army is a border army. The full quota is at least 5,000 people. Why are there only a hundred people left?"
At this time, Zhang Xian even burst into tears and said: "In the past, the emperor mobilized all the troops from Longyou to attack Yumen Pass. King Qin, Mo Li's army had 5,000 men, and only 500 old and weak were left behind. All of these 5,000 strong men died in Tongguan.
"
Now it was Li Yan's turn to be embarrassed.
The Battle of Tongguan was caused by the random command of Li Yan's grandfather, Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji, which led to the disastrous defeat.
Li Longji insisted on using the veteran general Ge Shuhan, who had suffered a stroke and hemiplegia, to lead the army and stationed 200,000 troops to guard Tongguan, the gateway to the pass.
Ge Shuhan wrote to the emperor at Tongguan, requesting to defend Tongguan until the troops of King Qin from various places arrived, and then go out of the city to fight Anlu Mountain.
But Li Longji insisted on micro-managing, thinking that I had the advantage of 200,000 against An Lushan's 150,000.
Ordered Ge Shuhan's entire army to leave Tongguan for a decisive battle with Anlu Mountain.
Ge Shuhan could not disobey the military order, so he had to give up holding on to Tongguan and go out for a decisive battle.
The final result was that the 200,000 Tang army was defeated, and the Tang Dynasty completely lost its last maneuvering power.
Among the 200,000 troops, there were soldiers drawn from various military offices in Longyou Road.
Li Yan thought of how when he entered the city, white hemp was hanging in every house.
It turned out that all the soldiers from Guazhou died in Tongguan, so every family wore mourning.
When he thought of this, Li Yan became even more silent.
I only heard Zhang Xian say: "I heard that Tubo Zanpu learned about the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion and immediately ordered Shang Qixin'er of Beilun Avenue to cross the boundary mountain and plot to seize the Longyou Road of the Tang Dynasty."
"All the states in Longyou Province have been invaded by the Tubo army, and there are even rumors that Tibet wants to divide Longyou with the Uighurs!"
"Yang Jiedushi has already made suggestions to His Majesty Lingwu. If the imperial court loses Longyou, it will cut off trade with Dashi and other countries. This is equivalent to handing over the achievements from the Taizong Dynasty to the Emperor's period!
"
Hearing Zhang Xian's impassioned words, Li Yan lowered his head.
The purpose of his coming to Longyou was to summon all the troops to attack Shuo Fang Qin Wang.
But I didn’t expect Longyou to be so corrupted.
Li Yan raised his head and said, "I'll tell you the truth, Governor Zhang! My father asked me to enter Longyou because he wanted to mobilize all the troops in Longyou to attack King Qin of Shuofang."
After hearing Li Yan's words, Zhang Xian fell to the ground.
"If we beat people again, Longyou of the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed!"
Then Zhang Xian cried loudly regardless of his image, and said while crying:
"I was a Jinshi in the third year of the Kaiyuan reign of the Emperor. I could have stayed in the capital to enjoy peace and quiet and become a leisurely minister."
"Later, during Tianbao's reign, General Xianzhi led the Anxi armies, defeated the Dashi army in Hengluos, and dominated the Western Regions! At that time, I was fascinated by the Western Regions and thought that a man would make contributions in this border area, so he reported to the emperor and asked to be released to Long.
The one on the right is an official."
"But why in less than ten years, the Tang Dynasty could not even defend Longyou, which had been developed for a hundred years?"
Li Yan felt a little unbearable. He supported Zhang Xian and said:
"Prefect Zhang, you are loyal to the country. I will present my love to my father and transfer you back to the Central Plains."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Mian ignored the etiquette and said: "If I leave, Yang Jiedushi can also leave. Can the 800,000 Han people in Longyou leave?"
Li Yan was speechless for a moment. Zhang Mian bowed to Li Yan and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has lost his temper. It is difficult to disobey the king's orders and the country is in danger. We, the Longyou Dao, also have the duty to send troops to serve the king."
"But you can take the soldiers away. The old minister will stay in Guazhou City and guard the country's borders with the elders in the city!"
Li Yan looked at Zhang Xian's gray hair, his mood was fluctuating, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
After thinking for a long time, Li Yan finally raised his head, looked at Zhang Xian and said, "I'm not leaving! Why should I give up to the thief Yu Fan when the country is so beautiful?"
