Shilonggou sounds like a ditch, but it is actually a relatively large river and is part of the Ulanmulun River in later generations.
Shilonggou originates from the Mu Us Sandy Land, flows southeast through Liangu, Linzhou and other places, and finally merges into the Yellow River.
Just northwest of Linzhou, on the west side of Shilonggou, there is a huge flat land called Luotuo Weir.
Zhang, the famous Prime Minister of the Kaiyuan Dynasty in the past, said that the Turkic general Kang treated his guests after a great defeat and rebellion here.
At that time, many party members followed Kang Daibin and rebelled out of fear. Zhang Shuo's deputy envoy Shi Xian of the Tianbing Army thought that these party members were trouble and planned to kill them all.
Zhang Shuo believed that it was hurting Tianhe and did not agree. Not only did he not kill these party members, he also petitioned to establish Linzhou to resettle these party members and teach them to farm, saving tens of thousands of people.
To this day, there are still Zhang Wenzhen temples in Lin, Yin and other states, and many Dangxiang tribes have the habit of worshiping him.
Zhang Zhao did not go to Lingzhou when he returned from Hunhe this time. First, it was not easy to go up the Yellow River. Second, Zhang Zhao's mood changed after Yu Yelu De became his brother.
In the past, he was pushed by the desire of the Yijun and Anxi descendants to return to the country.
But after returning home and having their wish fulfilled, the descendants of the Guiyi Army and the Anxi Army felt unhappy.
Because the emperor of the Central Plains court, the son-emperor Shi Jingtang, is really not a thing!
Therefore, Zhang Zhao's generals and his own state of mind were changing.
For example, two months ago, when dealing with the Fuzhou Zhe family and the Linzhou tycoon Yang family, Zhang Zhao's strategy was not to force them, hoping to activate them after the Central Plains was stabilized.
But now Zhang Zhao doesn't want to do this. If he doesn't use the Zhe family and the Yang family, then Liu Zhiyuan will use them.
Counting everyone in Yunzhou, a total of 50,000 horses came to Luotuo Weir.
It is only fifty or sixty miles away from Linzhou, and less than a hundred miles away from Fuzhou.
The arrival of so many people soon alerted the Zhe family, Yang family and other Dangxiang tribes living in Linzhou and Fuzhou.
Not to mention, there are many Zhe family members and Yang family members in the Yunzhou Datong Army.
Zhang Zhao ordered his people to put up a Three-Chen Flag of the Tang Dynasty in front of Zhang Wenzhengong Temple in Luotuoyan, and then waited for some people to come.
Three days later, Tan Ma came to report that smoke and dust in the southeast covered the sky and the sun. Not long after, a ranger from Yingyang Town brought Zhe Decuo, who had not been seen for a long time.
Zhe De, who was tired of his career, looked at Zhang Zhao with great embarrassment.
Zhang Zhao didn't care about this. The Zhe family's change in attitude towards him was nothing more than his way of survival, so there was no need to criticize him harshly.
"Your Majesty, my father, the military envoy of Yong'an Army, and the governor of Fuzhou, Zheba Congyuan, led the villages in Fuzhou, the chieftains of Baohao, and the governor of Linzhou, Yang Biaohongxin, came to pay a visit!"
After all, the Zhe family came, and people from the Yang family also came. Zhang Zhao smiled and took Zhe Deku's hand.
"Your Majesty is someone's senior, I should be the one to pay him a visit."
Then Zhang Zhao looked at the generals behind him and shouted: "Shuai Zhejie has come from afar, and all the generals will come with me to greet him."
Zhe Congyuan was still dressed in a rather elegant manner, while Yang Hongxin beside him was much more rugged.
Wearing a leather robe and with traces of wind and frost on his face, he didn't look like a governor of the imperial court, but like an old pawn with a weathered face.
But Zhang Zhao knew that this guy was not a simple man. He knew it from the fact that he had been robbed of the position of Linzhou governor by Liu Chong, the founding emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, and he could still smile and send his son Yang Ye to Liu Chong.
This man is not only a powerful warrior, but also an old fox who can endure what ordinary people cannot endure and can clearly see the general trend.
Zhe also saw Zhang Zhao from a distance. As his son Zhe Deku said, the king of Hexi looked very young.
After Zhe Congyuan, the local tycoons from Fulin and Fuzhou also started talking about it. Obviously, they didn't expect that this king was so young.
Tens of thousands of troops, banners arrayed, swords and guns blazing, clouds of capable soldiers, and the oppressive and brave generals behind Zhang Zhao all put great pressure on the local tyrants in Fulin and Linzhou.
Even before Zhang Zhao arrived in front of them, they still looked at him like a young man.
As soon as Zhang Zhao arrived, he had a decisive and decisive temperament, and there seemed to be a fierce general with the smell of blood behind him.
Immediately, he showed the power of a great king who stretched across Hexi, Longyou, and Shuofang, and had tens of thousands of elite cavalry, and could be considered a brother to the Khitan emperor.
Zhe Congyuan also noticed that the big flags behind Zhang Zhao, in addition to the Sanchen flag, were the Yamen flag of the Hexi Longyou Jiedu ambassador given by the later Jin Dynasty, the Guiyi army envoy and the most important Hanwangwang banner.
, all disappeared.
"Today happens to be the anniversary of the death of Duke Zhang Wenzhen. Since you are here, please go to the temple with me and burn a stick of incense!"
Zhang Zhao said he was welcoming Zhe Congyuan, but he didn't show much intimacy.
This is inevitable. He was close to Zhe Deku because Zhe Deku had fought for him.
As for Zhe Congyuan, although Zhang Zhao also respected him, after all, his move to recall Zhe Deke hurt Zhang Zhao's interests and could not be laughed off.
In the temple of Duke Zhang Wenzhen, everyone had finished offering incense, and then Zhang Zhao asked people to give seats to these rich people from Fulin and Linzhou.
Under Zhang Zhao's majestic gaze and the shock of the surrounding soldiers, all the local tycoons were sitting upright without daring to show their dignity.
"It is my intention to place all the heroes from Yunzhou who fought for the country against the enemy in Xia and Yinzhous.
With Judge Wu as the governor of Xiazhou and a certain general Luo Yuer as the governor of Yinzhou, we will be close neighbors from now on, so we should get closer to you!"
Zhang Zhao first told his arrangement, and Yinxia, the leader of the Nanyang Army, was to support the four states of Sui.
Youzhou has arranged for Li Yimin's younger brother Li Yijun, who was the first to join Zhang Zhao, to guard it, while Suizhou is under the jurisdiction of Feng Xili, which is the original Xifeng Xili.
The reason why party members are needed is not only to calm people's hearts, but also because Zhang Zhao does not have so many talents available.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Luan, the former Datong Army judge who had been sitting not far from Zhang Zhao, changed his mind and went out to perform a head-offering ceremony and paid homage to the ground.
"A certain Wu Luan, I thank you for your kindness. I, the army of 30,000 people in Datong, will serve as your guide from now on!"
Zhang Zhao had never communicated with Wu Luan beforehand, and he was quite surprised, but he didn't show it.
I originally planned to slowly influence Wu Luan, but I didn't expect him to be so successful.
Sure enough, anyone who can leave a name of loyalty and bravery in history is not a simple person.
Zhe Congyuan and Wu Luan were old acquaintances. He never expected that Wu Luan, who always spoke his mind about the country and the imperial court, would do such a thing. It seemed that he was heartbroken by Shi Jingtang.
Immediately everyone stood up and said repeatedly: "I obey the king's order. We are all fellow villagers in Yunzhong, so we will naturally get closer to each other."
Zhang Zhao also quickly helped Wu Luan up with his own hands, then looked at the wealthy people in Fulin and Fuzhou and said.
"In the past, the imperial court moved our ancestors from the Qingtang Plateau to this place and taught you farming so that you could have a foothold without suffering oppression. You should remember the grace of the great dynasty.
The Han children in these two states must remember who their ancestors were. They must work together to protect the northern border of the imperial court!"
These words were spoken in a stern tone, and they did not mention the Later Jin Dynasty at all. Instead, they kept talking about the Great Dynasty, that is, the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing that Zhang Zhao's words became more and more severe, the wealthy people in Fulin and Fuzhou looked at each other and I didn't know who was taking the lead. They all knelt down one after another.
Only then did Zhang Zhao show some good looks. He hurriedly rushed over and helped Zhe, who had not yet kneeled down, up from a distance.
"The Commander-in-Chief is loyal and loyal to the country. He is someone's elder. You must not do this great gift."
Zhe could tell from a distance that Zhang Zhao might have to force him to get into the car.
Zhe Congyuan was really not very willing from the bottom of his heart, but the imperial court's abandonment of Yunzhou and the fact that Zhang Zhao and Yelv Deguang became brothers immediately pushed the Zhe family in Fuzhou into an extremely dangerous situation.
Once Yunzhou was ceded, the resentment of the entire Fuzhou towards the imperial court increased sharply. You must know that their Fuzhou was actually within the scope of the cession and had family ties with everyone in Yunzhou.
After Zhang Zhao became Yelu Deguang's imperial younger brother, Zhang Zhao immediately gained a huge reputation in Fulin and Fuzhou.
After all, the father of the Emperor of Tokyo was a Khitan man, and Zhang Zhao was the younger brother of the Khitan Emperor, so wouldn't he be the emperor's biological uncle?
The leader of the Khitan Kingdom could only treat him as a father to the Emperor of the Central Plains, but he was willing to be a brother to King Zhang, which shows how powerful and tyrannical King Zhang is.
"Commander Jie doesn't have to worry about Fuzhou anymore! My brother and I made an agreement by Yuanyangbo that he has given up Nafu Prefecture and entered the Khitan territory.
From now on, Fuzhou will be like Yinzhou and Xiazhou and will no longer be threatened by Khitan."
As soon as Zhang Zhao finished speaking, the local tycoons in Fulin and Fuzhou burst into joy.
In the past few years, Khitan has been a big mountain weighing on them, and everyone is afraid of encountering the end like Yunzhou.
At this moment, I was naturally very happy to hear that the Khitans had finally given up the idea of occupying Fuzhou.
Yang Hongxin also had a rare smile on his face. If the Khitans occupied Fuzhou, Linzhou would be the first to face the Khitan army.
If Fuzhou is not lost at this moment, Linzhou can continue to develop behind Fuzhou.
Zhe Congyuan felt a little bitter. He could tell that the most important thing Zhang Zhao said was that Fuzhou was the same as Xiazhou and Yinzhou.
"Your Majesty has quelled the troubled army this time and rescued tens of thousands of people in Yunzhou. After the imperial court found out, it didn't know how to award the reward. I would like to congratulate you first!"
Zhang Zhao looked at Zhe Congyuan, it was the commander Zhejie who was testing him.
Because the Fuzhou Zhe family was a marginal member of Daibei Wuxun, which was different from the Li family of the Dingnan Army, Zhang Zhao had to consider the attitude of the imperial court when he wanted Fuzhou to be used by him.
"Zhe Erlang was brave and decisive, whom I loved deeply. He was the sixth son of Zhang Huaiqing, the uncle of a certain person. He was the adopted son of Zhang Gong Huai Shen, the governor of the Yijun Army. Zhang Chengfu, the Duke of Nanyang County, had a daughter. She was eighteen years old, gentle and graceful.
If Duke Zhe Ling does not dislike it, he can send Erlang Zhe to accompany a certain Liangzhou party, so that the two families can join hands with Qin and Jin!"
Although Zhe Deyuan is not as good as his brother Zhe Deku, he can be regarded as a brave young man who is skilled in bow and horse when he broke into Yunzhou City with Li Xiaojie.
Zhang Huaiqing is the only living elder of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhao's grandfather.
From Zhang Chengfu's duchy of Nanyang County, it can be seen that he is the heir adopted by Zhang Huaiqing in accordance with Zhang Zhao's wishes to Zhang Huaishen, the second-generation governor of the Guiyi Army.
This group of people has a special status in the Zhang family and is a symbol of reconciliation within the Zhang family.
As soon as Zhe Congyuan heard Zhang Huaishen's name, he knew that this marriage must not be rejected. If he refused, he would forge a deep hatred.
Zhe Deyi and Zhe Deyuan also looked at Zhe Congyuan nervously. They were absolutely unwilling to antagonize Zhang Zhao because this was something the Zhe family could never bear.
In the flash of lightning, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Zhe Congyuan's face.
"A dog can win the respect of the king. After marrying a hero, you will be happy!"
Zhang Zhao smiled and took Zhe Congyuan's hand, then looked at Yang Hongxin behind him.
"I heard that Governor Yang has two sons, named Chonggui and Chongxun. They are both young and handsome. I intend to take them with me to teach them. I wonder if Governor Yang can let go of his love?"
Yang Hongxin thought about it twice and immediately agreed, but he bowed his hand.
"It is Quanzi's honor to be favored by the king. However, the second son has not yet returned to the throne. I kindly ask him to follow the king when he is older."
Zhang Zhao nodded. At this time, the mortality rate of infants and young children was extremely high, and those who had not yet reached the age of eight were still under the age of eight.
Yang Chongxun was under eight years old, so as the eldest son, Yang Chonggui was probably only eight or nine years old, which was indeed a bit young.
"Then let's make an appointment at the age of ten. When the time comes, let them follow you!"
"Thank you for your kindness, your Majesty. Why don't you let Quanzi Zhonggui and Zhongxun worship your Majesty as your adoptive father today?"
Yang Hongxin immediately beat the snake and stuck it on the stick. At this time, it was a very honorable thing to be adopted by a big shot as his adopted son.
That proves that you are very talented. How could a mediocre person have this opportunity?
Uh! Zhang Zhao was stunned for a moment, and it seemed good to adopt the historical Yang Laolinggong as his adopted son. Anyway, he was originally the adopted son of Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty.
