Yang Yue was not too surprised to see the prisoner talking, as he seemed to have seen many such things.
"A certain person named Zhang Azhuduo, his grandfather Zhang Tingben was an assistant teacher of Confucian classics in Yuanzhou, but was later plundered by Tubo. Because he was literate and hyphenated, he was replaced as a family member and awarded a red copper to sue him. It was... he was temporarily crowned in the Tibetan Dynasty, and his love
He had no choice. My father also knew how to write and copied Buddhist scriptures in the temple. He cherished the good times and passed away at an early age. A certain man who did not know a few words was drafted as a servant and raised horses in the Luma Army. He was miserable.
Word."
“What are you doing at that post?”
“Raise horses, cut grass, and collect wood.”
"Since you have the opportunity to go out, why don't you escape and return to Huizhou? You should know that Huizhou has been recovered by Lingwu County King."
"There are still Fan wives and children in the state, and they can't bear to leave her lightly."
“In the past, there were also people who abandoned their wives and fled back, why can’t you?”
Zhang Azhu was speechless.
Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen wrote about such a person, "A young man followed his father to defend Anxi". Later, he fell into Tibet, married a Tibetan wife there and had a child. Forty years later, he finally found an opportunity and escaped after all the hardships.
When we arrived at the border, it happened that "Border General Cha Jianzu" entered Tubo territory to capture prisoners. When he saw a Tibetan man dressed up, he arrested him, so this person was captured.
The emperor was merciful and did not kill them, so he ordered Wu and Yue to be exiled. There were many hardships along the way. When he saw the river, he missed his hometown of Jiaohe in Anxi, so he cried bitterly and said to the other Tibetan captives accompanying him, "You have suffered a lot."
I suffer a lot.”
He was obviously a Han man who could speak Chinese and had his heart set on the Tang Dynasty. He remained committed to Tibet for forty years, abandoned his wife and escaped back. As a result, the "healthy soldiers" sent by the border generals to capture the Tibetan captives were probably barbarians and could not understand.
Chinese, so he was captured as a Tibetan and exiled to Wuyue. What a damn black humor.
“How many troops do the Lu Ma tribe have?” the staff asked again.
"There are thousands of soldiers and more than seven thousand strong men."
“Where’s the Fufulin family?”
“I don’t know, but it should be several times that of Lu Mabu.”
“Do you know the situation in Lanzhou?”
“I don’t know…”
“Where are the people of the Langqu tribe nomadic now?”
“In the northern border of Weizhou, near Linzhou and Lanzhou.”
“Didn’t you go to Lanzhou before? Why did you come back?”
“It should be that he had conflicts with other tribes in Lanzhou and was defeated after an attack.”
“How many soldiers do you still have in the Langqu tribe?”
“I don’t know.”
The staff glanced at Yang Yue and cupped his hands.
Yang Yue cleared her throat and asked: "Zhang Azhuduo, your ancestor, your father should be a scholar, why don't you give him a Han name instead of a Tibetan name?"
"Returning to the general, the Fu Fuling family is different from the Huizhou Lanqu family. They were reluctant to return home at that time, and they surrendered because they were afraid of Shang Yanxin's power. Shang Yanxin had been dead for many years, and his tribe restored the Fan Dynasty.
In the early years of the system, everyone was required to speak Tubo language, take Tibetan names, have their hair braided, their hair braided, and their hair fur coated with left lapels, and so on."
"This Fu Fuling family is quite courageous and has a dark heart." Yang Yue snorted coldly and said, "Aren't you afraid of the imperial court's conquest?"
"Next to the Min and Wei states are the Qin and Cheng states. However, we haven't seen the king's army advance westward for thirty years, so we naturally have nothing to fear." Zhang Azhuduo said: "The Guiyi army rose up, and when Shang Yanxin returned to the country, he was frightened for a while, but the imperial court was there.
After regaining six states and seven passes, we stopped moving forward. Then Shang Yanxin died, and the Guiyi Army also declined in strength. During these Tubo Festivals, thousands of households returned to their old ways. Huizhou's Qu family was relatively good, and allowed the people to return to me.
Tang Yiguan did not interfere much, but the rest of the states could not be described in detail."
Zhang Azhuduo said this rudely, but it is also true. Fengxiang Town is also a vassal town in the northwest of Beijing with relatively sufficient population, financial resources, and military strength. It governs Fengxiang Prefecture, Qinzhou, and Longzhou. After Pengzhou’s defense history failed, Chengzhou is now
It is also under the control of Fengxiang Town, one of the largest towns. Is it really incapable of moving westward?
Before Shang Yanxin died, you could still say that he was also a Tang Dynasty official and it was inappropriate to beat him. But after Shang Yanxin died, the old tribe revolted, and you still hesitated at this time! Before Huang Chao's uprising, there were more than ten years
I gave you a lot of time, but it was all wasted.
These Longyouzhou counties were left there without any explanation until the fall of the Tang Dynasty. Of course no one cared about them after the Five Dynasties, and even in the early Northern Song Dynasty, they barely cared about them. If the rivers were truly recovered,
We did a little while at Huangkai. But we only recovered part of it. Those with the largest population, such as Liangzhou, had long been occupied by Xixia.
“Zhang Azhuduo, if I ask you to lead the way, can you possibly find the Tubo tribal pastures in He, Wei, Min and other prefectures?” Yang Yue asked again.
"Weizhou is okay, but others are difficult." Zhang Azhu thought for a while and said: "Actually, you don't have to look for generals. There is a reason why Tubo is called the Tibetan Dynasty. They are not all nomadic, they have government offices and yamen
, there are fields, pastures, and soldiers, which is quite like our dynasty. If you can advance with a light army, it is not difficult to find them. Unless they are willing to give up all this and live again by water and grass, just like the Qu family in Huizhou,
But this determination is not easy to make.”
“You are somewhat coherent in what you say.” Yang Yue praised him and said, “How is the internal situation in Tubo in Min and Wei states? Is there any quarrel between them?”
"Returning to the general, I have never heard of it. The Fu Fuling family has managed it fairly well. Even if the various tribes have enmity, they will not attack each other."
“How many Tianbao survivors are there in Min and Weizhou?”
“There are still some 10,000 or 20,000 people in the four counties of Weizhou.”
“There are four more counties?”
"Yes. The city walls have been somewhat destroyed, but they still remain. There are people farming under the walls, mainly millet and wheat, and also grazing cattle, sheep and horses."
“This is similar to the situation in Huizhou.” Yang Yue said, “Can the Han people still speak Mandarin?”
"Some can, some can't." Zhang Azhudu answered truthfully: "I once heard someone say that the further west you go, the more Han people speak Tubo language, and the more left-winged Han people are, almost the same as the Tibetan people."
Yang Yue looked at his attire and basically believed it.
Although Tubo's rule in the Helong area was adapted to local conditions, including ethics, military towns, festivals, ten thousand households, one thousand households, one hundred households, etc., but at its core, it was the system of slavery. Even though the Han people were in
For farming, the Tubo people still divided them into tribes according to their own habits. At first, they were forced to braid their hair and change clothes. Only on the first day of the first lunar month every year, Han people could put on Tang clothes, change into Han hair accessories, and worship their ancestors.
After the assassination of Lang Dama and the civil strife in Tubo, the trend of de-barbarization was on the rise, especially after Zhang Yichao, Shang Yanxin and others returned to the court. However, it happened again later. It can only be said that the degree of de-Huization varied in different places.
As fewer and fewer people love the Tang Dynasty, and the overall trend is aging, it is hard to say who the younger generation of Han people identify themselves with.
Everyone is watching what happened in Huizhou. The Bai family no longer want to farm, they just want to continue nomadic life, and there are very few people in their tribe who can speak Chinese. Only the senior officials know a little about the past, and the new generation knows nothing.
!
Yang Yue had never seen the King of Lingwu leading his army into Huizhou City. But he could imagine that those so-called Han elders originally had their hair braided on the left side, and it was only after the Lanqu tribe escaped that they returned to their original state.
Wearing attire, and then sending a few people who can speak Chinese to greet them in front.
Huizhou is like this, but what is the difference between Min, Wei, He, Lin, Lan and other states? Maybe the situation is even worse.
After asking the sergeant to take Zhang Azhudu and others down, Yang Yue thought for a while, then summoned his staff and discussed: "The commander-in-chief wants to attack Lanzhou, but the mountains and rivers along the way are high and the water is tight, making it difficult to walk. If we take a detour to Wei and Linzhou,
There are many grasslands along the way, which is convenient for the Tibetan soldiers to attack. It is better to ask for instructions on this. Once the Tibetan soldiers arrive at Tiandu Mountain, they will gather the Dingyuan and Xinquan armies and go south together. They will first defeat Weizhou, then move westward, attack Linzhou, and detour to the rear of Lanzhou.
At that time, the commander-in-chief personally led the main force of the Yamen army to march westward along the river. This was the correct course. The partial divisions that detoured to Lingzhou were strange. If they are correct and the other is strange, they must be defeated."
Yang Yue did not have the power to mobilize Tibetan troops, nor did Huizhou governor Han Jian, nor did Dingyuan army envoy Wang Yu. The Huizhou Tibetan tribe, headed by the Bai family, was willing to cooperate with the Dingyuan army, and it was Shao Shude who
The order was given, otherwise no one would be able to control them.
If he can be summoned, then this person will be in danger. He will most likely lose the trust of the Lingwu County King and be marginalized and hidden, with no chance of turning around. This is politics!
Originally, based on the principle of avoiding suspicion, Yang Yue didn't want to make this suggestion. Isn't it good to follow the commander in a peaceful war? Why make a fuss and make people suspicious for no reason.
But he really wanted to win and regain the lost ground so much that he didn't bother to worry about so many things.
Of course the staff knew what he was thinking. They had nothing to say to the proprietor and could only do their best to help him to the end.
At this time, Wang Quan had also received the reward and returned home.
My home is in the upper reaches of the Zuli River. They say they will give you a house, but in fact they just give you some wood. You still have to wait in line because there are not enough Tibetan woodcutters.
Wang Quan had already received the wood, and then went to cut some branches and reeds himself. He and his old brothers helped each other to build the wooden house. It was not big, but it was more than enough to accommodate a family of four. It even had a stable and a sheep pen.
.
When they reached the grassy road at the end of the village, Wang Quan and his son deliberately slowed down their horses and exposed a corner of the silk and satin they had received. It was colorful and could be seen at a glance.
The people in the village are basically Chao people, some from the four counties of Yinzhou. These people greet Wang Quan when they see him. Some are pardoned prisoners. They are alone, with gloomy expressions, and they don't look good when they see Wang Quan.
We are all prisoners together. You are Zhang Yan and Li Tangbin’s, and I am Meng Kai’s. Why is there such a big difference in treatment? I feel dissatisfied!
Wang Quan also looked down upon these resentful people. When he passed by, he snorted and said: "If you have the ability, go south to Weizhou and rob it! We have cattle, sheep, property, and women. What's the point of sulking at home?"
Use? Coward!"
The man who was injured by him was also angry. He pulled out a wooden fork from the haystack and stepped forward to fight for his life. At this moment, several riders came from the west. Looking at their attire, they thought they were from the Dingyuan Army, so they reluctantly
Suppressing his anger, he sighed and said: "You can do it? If something happens next time, I will go south to grab a Tibetan official lady and come back. You will have to give up your command position to me. Are you ashamed?"
"
Wang Quan laughed and said: "It's useless to talk big. I also have to remind you that I'm not in the army now. If you disrespect me, it's okay. If we gather together in the future and go south to harvest grass and valleys, what will you do?
It's like, let's see if someone can chop off your head."
After saying that, Wang Quan and his son walked away in a big way.
Others looked at him, their faces full of annoyance and anger, but in their eyes, they couldn't hide the look of envy.
Why hasn’t the government recruited you yet? Send the equipment down quickly. Everyone doesn’t even need to practice. They can just go south and grab the damn thing!
It’s okay to work hard on the land, but without women, you can’t carry on your family lineage. How can you survive this life?
