Chapter 700 The Lord must not raise an army in anger
Zhang Xiancun felt a chill all over his body. He found himself standing in an empty hall, surrounded by layers of corpses.
Although he could not clearly see the faces of these corpses, he knew in his heart that these people were the people closest to him, because the heart-rending pain could not be faked.
"His Royal Highness, leave quickly! I can't hold on much longer!" Someone was shouting loudly in the fog.
But with the shouts, more ghost-like giants kept coming out of the fog, slashing the warriors around Zhang Xiancun one by one, and blood spurted all over his face, which was cold and cold.
"I won't be the prince anymore! I won't be the emperor anymore! Stop it, stop it!" Zhang Xiancun cried desperately.
It was late at night, Zhang Gao stood outside Zhang Xiancun's dormitory with his hands behind his hands, and let out a long sigh.
"Since ancient times, all troubles are due to cleverness. Brother Cun is smart and has great ambitions. I hope he can get through this.
If you can't get over this hurdle in your heart, it will be bad if your inner demons break out."
"Old slave thinks that what the saint said is not entirely correct!" Dong Shaojian said softly beside Zhang Yan.
"I let you go because I want you to convey my meaning word for word. You must let Guo Guangsheng tell Hu Guang. That's what I mean. I don't want to urge him to leave Yumen Pass quickly to capture Guo Li for me.
Two thieves."
Yongle is Princess Yongle, the shy daughter of Huajian. Her appearance is absolutely impeccable. Before Zhang Gao entered the Central Plains, Princess Yongle was sent to Chang'an by He Ning, and she was fascinated by Zhang Xiancun.
Just say that I am not in a hurry to let him wash away my shame, but I want him to understand the intention behind this matter.
Based on her position in Zhang's family, as long as she has a son, she will definitely be able to obtain the position of king of the vassal state when the emperor divides the world.
Because judging from the current situation, it is indeed necessary for Zhang Xiancun to endure hardships and exercise, but Zhang Xianyu does not need to go.
However, Zhang Hao would not deliberately ask, because he knew that Guo Waner usually couldn't hold himself back from saying it.
Zhang Xianyu's problem is that his cautious mother has instilled in him a lot of negative emotions such as low self-esteem and timidity. As a result, the child may be pitiable, but seems to have some problems.
The most uncomfortable thing for Guo Waner was that the Guo family who had fled to Khotan received news that made her extremely frightened.
After all, the one with large-scale iron smelting and armor-making capabilities in the river is Samampos.
Zhang Hao thought about the word that just popped into his mind.
However, Guo Waner's brother Guo Tianxing unfortunately drowned in the Tianshui River (Nalen River) during the evacuation.
Later I thought about it, Guo Wan'er's thoughts about having a son may have been over for seven or eight years, and it is unlikely that she is still worried about it now. It is obviously something else.
But in recent years, because the two of them were still young, Zhang Yan restricted their interactions.
Guo Waner knelt down with a pop, "Guo Guangyi deserves to die, but not all of the Guo family supports him.
After thinking about Zhang Xiancun, Zhang Yan began to think about Zhang Xianyu again.
But in the Western Region, it is definitely a force that cannot be ignored, and it can bring out hundreds of thousands of armed herdsmen.
In history, there have been many grassland lords who controlled hundreds of thousands of people one second, but were at the end of their rope the next. It was because those below saw through the nature of their decline, and they were abandoned by their followers.
Zhang Gao looked at Shaojian Dong in surprise. This was the first time he heard Shaojian Dong disapproving of him.
The disciples of Liang Taizu were so stupid, didn't they always covet the throne?
But now, with Guo Ting'er getting married, all the good ideas have been shattered, and it's strange that she can be in a good mood.
Not because of anything else, but because Zhang Yan was not old enough to get married yet, so he was afraid that the two of them would cause harm to the royal family's dignity.
Could it be that they had long been prepared for Zhang Yan to send out his troops and were waiting with a big net open?
Now it seems that Zhang Shengren has nine sons and seven daughters. Including those who are still pregnant, there are as many as twenty children.
On the grassland, you can be a cruel lord, or you can be relatively kind, but there is a prerequisite, that is, you must be a ruthless person.
Zhang Yan was about to leave Tianshui Mansion for Lanzhou. The first to leave were Gao E'niang, Xiao Sage and Zhao Rongniang, because they were all pregnant and were not suitable for the long journey.
....
But he knew that with Guo Waner's caution, she would not deliberately mention such a thing, because the marriage between Guo Guangyi and Li Guoshou was not a big news at all.
Guo Wan'er has been working with Zhang Xian as his personal secretary and bed partner since she broke the leaves, but she has been unable to do anything for so many years.
In Dali country, the people may still need a little kindness. But for the people on the grassland, kindness is the last thing on the list.
Currently, only Guo Waner and Mrs. Huarui, Mrs. Fei, are left beside Zhang Yan.
So Zhang Xian decided not to throw Zhang Xianyu to Nanxi Mansion, but to take him with him.
Therefore, on the grassland, enemies can come from all directions, and they may all be defeated at any time.
If Zhang Xianyu's character is not changed, Zhang Yan cannot send him, and he cannot send his own son to die.
"Hurry up and get out of the palace and ask Guo Guangsheng to go to Liangzhou to inform Hu Guang and tell him everything that happened.
After all, Zhang Yan still has a lot of affection for Guo Waner, who has been with him for a long time and has been diligently doing a good job as a secretary. Ordinary women cannot enjoy the warmth of Zhang Shengren.
Otherwise, given Guo Waner's status in Zhang Zhang's heart, the two elders of the Guo family and her brother would have returned to the Central Plains to enjoy their happiness long ago.
You go and deliver the message and ask Yongle to come to Tianshui and ask her to send Cun'er to live in Chengdu Mansion for a while."
Zhang Gao frowned because he didn't remember who this Guo Ting'er was at the first time. After all, Guo Ting'er was only nine years old when they made the agreement.
Because the herdsmen in southern and northern Mon are scattered on the vast grasslands with no danger to defend, unlike the Han people who have cities to defend.
She herself was unable to have children, so she hoped that after Guo Ting'er entered the palace, she would have a few more children and give her an adopted son. A cousin's son would always be more reliable than a son who was not related by blood at all.
What makes Guo Wan'er feel so uncomfortable is actually something else.
Secondly, Zhang Yan still had to take care of Guo Waner's mood.
This environment where they are constantly facing threats to their survival has created their extremely cold character.
These days, watching the bellies of Gao E'niang and others getting bigger, especially that little vixen Zhao Rongniang, who only took Cheng Huan three or two times to get pregnant, one can imagine Guo Waner's inner pain.
There is no way! Zhang Shengren took a few steps a little restlessly. Who is more lovable between Guo Waner and Fei? You can use your toes to figure out who is more lovely.
Guo Waner knew the importance of the matter, and immediately stood up, wiped her tears, and prepared to leave the palace to find Guo Guangsheng. Zhang Hao thought about it and called her back.
There is another issue worth noting, that is, if Hamid of Saman Persia had not died, with this idiot's IQ, would he have been deceived into providing equipment to Li Guoshou and Guo Guangyi.
If Guo Guangyi and Li Guoshou carried out a bloody coup in Suiye because he could not resist the temptation to dominate, then the marriage with Guo Tinger can be said to be arrogant and confident.
It turned out that after the bloody coup occurred in the Guo family of Suiye, part of the Guo family protected Guo Wan'er's parents and fled to Khotan desperately.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. After all, it is a big country with a population of three to four million. Thirteen or four years have passed since the last time I took advantage of the fight between father and son to defeat their main force. Samampos may have already
National strength was restored.
It can be seen from this that whether you want to be a prince has nothing to do with intelligence or stupidity. On the contrary, intelligent people can get out of the inner demons more quickly. I think that the great man will figure it out soon."
"Oh? You rarely object to my opinions. Tell me what you think."
At that time, the Tang Dynasty was in such decline, Emperor Zhaozong and his disciples still valued the position of the prince more than anything else.
Muqiang and hugging your thighs are the first rule of survival for prairie people.
But the situation in Suiye and Talos is more complicated than that in Dali, and the grassland people need a rough and strong leader more than the people of Dali.
So, after Zhang Yan murmured the name Guo Ting'er twice with doubts, he suddenly remembered it!
This is not really jealous. If so, it would be to underestimate the vision and ambition of Guo Waner, whose status is equivalent to the alternate secretary of the Secretariat in later generations.
But unexpectedly, two days after Zhang Xi favored Fei, this charming and charming beauty who seemed to be the most suitable for Zhang Xi's taste fell out of favor, and the emperor never visited his palace again.
But when Fei came here, her mentality still didn't change. She wasn't very interested in bed, which made me, Zhang Dasheng, a little unhappy. I wanted to put some pressure on Fei, so that she wouldn't be arrogant because of her beauty.
You must make your followers always think that if they follow you, they can at least save their lives, and you are the most ruthless person in the world.
"Why are you kneeling? I won't anger everyone just because of a few thieves and slaves."
Zhang Gao nodded slightly, "I also believe that my son, Zhang Gao, will definitely be able to untie this knot.
And this is not even the most uncomfortable thing for Guo Wan'er. When he was in Suiye, his parents and elder brother forced him to marry someone of his uncle's generation, and the relationship faded a lot.
After Guo Guangyi and Li Guoshou united, the two families even became married.
For a moment, I, Saint Zhang, had a dark cloud on his face, and an urge to kill suddenly rushed to the Baihui point on my head.
Zhang Yan also clearly felt that something was wrong with Guo Waner. At first, Zhang Yan thought it was because she was infertile.
At the same time, Zhang Zhi entered the Central Plains. He had forgotten all about the nine-year-old yellow-haired girl that the Guo family agreed to send.
It seems like a very ordinary marriage, right, but there is a big problem in it, that is, Guo Ting'er was originally going to be sent to Zhang Shengren's harem.
Zhang Hao looked at Guo Waner's forced smile and sighed, "Tell me, how big of a deal it is, tell me now, I can still hold on."
"You damn dog slave! Guo Guangyi and Li Guoshou want the whole family to go to Huangquan Road together, right? I will definitely make it happen for them."
I have a feeling that this must be orchestrated by Saktu behind the scenes. Before Talos was captured by my men, they had believed in the Tianfang Sect for almost thirty years. Maybe they have converted now and are still with Saman.
Persia was involved."
I have met Emperor Zhaozong and his disciples, I have met Liang Taizu and his disciples, and I have also met Zhuangmiao and Mingmiao emperors and disciples of later dynasties.
This fully proves that it is not Zhang Shengren who is not good, but it is 100% Guo Waner's fault.
Guo Guangyi married his daughter Guo Ting'er, the most beautiful flower of the Broken Leaf Guo family, to Li Guoshou's youngest son.
This guy's problem is completely in two directions with Zhang Xiancun's.
Moreover, when Guo Xuanli returned to China last time, he even reported it to Zhang Yan, so Zhang Yan knew about it.
But even so, Guo Waner still felt very uncomfortable.
Li Guoshou is a humble slave and is arrogant, but not all the 60,000 households in Talos are guilty ministers. Please see carefully, sage."
That's not bad! The emperor's women dared to cut off their beards.
A founding hero, especially when the world is not completely unified, does not have much space for personal emotions.
Guo Wan'er could not imagine how angry Zhang Yan would be when he knew about this incident. Even if he met a common man, it would take blood to wash away the shame, let alone Zhang Yan.
Apart from this worry for Guo Wan'er, she has actually been looking forward to Guo Ting'er coming to Tokyo for a long time.
Guo Wan'er stopped her dog-legged movements and whispered: "Nuyeye sent people from Khotan to deliver news on Pegasus. Guo Guangyi of Broken Leaf and Li Guoshou of Talas were married. Guo Guangyi gave his second daughter Guo Ting'er
Married to Li Guoshou’s youngest son.”
By the time King Li Congrong of Qin came to the throne, his succession to the throne was already a certainty, and he was not being encouraged to carry out the old deeds of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhang Yan still took good care of her emotions and basically kept Guo Wan'er away from him.
Originally, Zhang Xian was planning to put Zhang Xianyu and Zhang Xiancun together in Nanxi Mansion to exercise for a while, but now Zhang Xian changed his mind.
Dong Shaojian also knew that Princess Yongle could definitely be a good medicine to relieve Zhang Xiancun's heartache, so he asked with a happy face: "Is the saint going to prepare a wedding for the eldest man?"
Guo Wan'er also wanted to be a carefree Queen Mother once she gets older and loses her beauty.
Everyone thought that Mrs. Fei would definitely favor her now. After all, Guo Waner was similar in age to Zhang Gao, and she was so beautiful that she was not even worthy of carrying Ms. Fei's shoes.
Could it be that Guo Guangyi and Li Guoshou were really arrogant, and even deliberately angered themselves, causing him to make wrong decisions in anger?
Once they feel that you are strong on the outside but weak on the inside, they will soon leave you.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao's anger, which had begun to subside, quickly disappeared. He stretched out his hand to pull up Guo Waner, who was crying on the ground.
Let him see how noble and glorious it is to be Zhang Shengren, the son of Zhang Wushangtian, and cultivate the pride and ruthlessness in him.
Zhang Hao nodded, "When I carry the coffin for Duke Cao Linggong from Shazhou to Bozhou for burial, Cun'er will be sixteen years old, just in time to get married."
Dong Shaojian straightened his waist, then looked back at Zhang Xiancun's dormitory and said: "Since the old slave was selected by Zhu Wen of Liang Dynasty to serve Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty in the palace, he has stayed in this imperial city for four years.
Thirteen years.
If Zhang Yan still abandons her to be with Fei every day, God knows how depressed Guo Waner, who has always been worried about being unable to have children, will become.
With veins popping up on Zhang's forehead, he walked back and forth in the house more than a dozen times. It wasn't until he heard the announcement from the chamberlain outside that Zhang Xiancun, the Marquis of Shanshan, was asking for an audience that he felt his anger subside a little.
This is completely provocative!
Um?
Feel confident?
Sure enough, after Zhang Hao glanced at him several times, Guo Waner came over to act cute like a little female cat, and even pinched Zhang Hao's shoulders and beat his legs, making him look quite dog-legged.
After pulling Guo Wan'er up, Zhang Yan did some careful calculations. The Guo family of Broken Ye controlled about 400,000 people. Li Guoshou of Talas estimated that he had more than 60,000 troops, and almost 400,000 people.
The two forces combined totaled more than 800,000 people. In the Central Plains, their size was about the same as that of Ma Chu and Nanping, so they were considered small countries.
Although Broken Leaf and Talas have already settled and farmed a bit, mentally and materially, they still behave like the prairie people.
Because in Guo Wan'er's position, he naturally knows the distribution of the world in Zhang Yan's heart. Besides, women always have to have descendants to rely on.
Sometimes the king's power is too high, and his every move can be interpreted by his subordinates.
Therefore, Zhang Gao wanted to specifically warn him that it would be bad if Hu Guanghui made the wrong mistake and hurriedly led people to go on an expedition but fell into a trap.
And Zhang Yan also knew that after having a heart-to-heart relationship with Zhang Xiancun, he had to set off as soon as possible.
Maybe they will stay in Shazhou for a while. This Suiye rebellion might not be an isolated incident.
