MTL - I Can’t Play This Game Anymore-Chapter 816 Defenders alone
Latest website: When Ji Han heard about Yin Bing, he didn't pay much attention.
After all, the so-called Yin soldiers along the way have already seen several cars. This kind of saying is so common that it can no longer cause any fear to Chen Ke.
Sure enough, Chen Ke said curiously:
"Yin soldiers? Fellow Daoists, we cultivators are still afraid of this. Anyway, it is within the scope of our profession. Since fellow Taoists know that there are Yin soldiers here, why don't you just deal with them?"
The Taoist priest in purple looked back at Chen Ke and snorted softly:
"First, I really admire the brave warriors who used to exist here.
Second, they can't harm one side here, on the contrary, they can also protect the stability here.
Last but not least, I can't handle trails. "
Ji Han asked curiously:
"Fellow Daoist, what is the origin of those Yin soldiers you mentioned?"
The Taoist priest in purple sighed, and began to look at the stone city and tell the history here:
"Tang Taizong Li Shimin wiped out TLF's Gaochang State, and set up the Anxi Protectorate in Jiaohe City to manage military and political affairs in the Western Regions. Later, Anxi Governor Guo Xiaoke defeated the Kucha Kingdom and moved the Anxi Protectorate to Qiucha to rule over Kucha, The four towns of Yanqi, Khotan, and Shule guard the northwestern frontier of the Tang Dynasty, do you know that?"
The four of them nodded. These Chen Kes have been popularized to everyone before.
The Taoist priest in purple nodded and continued to narrate:
"At that time, the enemy of the Western Regions was no longer the Xiongnu, but Tubo.
In the early Tang Dynasty, Songtsen Gampo commanded 200,000 Tubo troops to attack Songzhou in Datang, but was defeated by Datang troops. He sent a special envoy to Chang'an to apologize and ask for a marriage. After that, Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, and the 20-year peaceful cooperation between Tang Dynasty and Tubo began.
More than ten years after Tang Taizong and Songtsan Gampo passed away one after another, the conflict between Tubo and Datang resumed in order to compete for the Western Regions. The battle of Dafeichuan in Qinghai, the war between Datang and Tubo broke out in an all-round way.
The four towns of Anxi in the Western Regions have also become places where the two sides have repeatedly fought over and changed hands several times.
But crises always occur when there is turmoil in the Central Plains. Later, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, which brought serious disasters to the Central Plains. The Tang army stationed in the Hexi Corridor and the Anxi Protectorate in the Western Regions had to be transferred to the interior to participate in the counter-insurgency.
Anxi Duhu Mansion and Beiting Duhu Mansion received the edict of Tang Suzong, and Li Qiyun, the Sima of the Anxi Marching Army, Li Siye, the General of Hussars, and Ma Phus, the General of the Left and Right Jinwu Guards, led the army back to the Central Plains. A total of 15,000 elite soldiers were called back.
The forces of Anxi and Beiting, which are located in the Western Regions, were greatly weakened immediately. Tubo took advantage of the opportunity to attack the Hexi Corridor with all its strength and marched into the Western Regions. After that, Tubo captured the area west of Fengxiang in Shaanxi and north of Fenzhou in Sichuan. Later, they continued to capture the land of Longyou, which separated Hexi from the Central Plains.
At that time, the Tubo army even captured Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and retreated half a month later.
Over the next ten years, Tubo moved north along the Qilian Mountains, and Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, and Guazhou in Hexi fell successively. With the fall of Shazhou, an important town that had fought against Tubo for many years, the Hexi Corridor was completely lost. The passage between the Western Regions and Datang was cut off, and the Tang Dynasty's Western Region garrison was alone outside the Great Wall, facing a very difficult situation.
However, the Beiting Governor's Mansion still has Yixiting Jiedu envoy Li Yuanzhong commanding the remaining troops of the Hanhai, Tianshan, and Yiwu armies to stand firm, while Anxi Governor Guo Xin led the Anxi Army to control the four towns of Anxi. The Tubo army fell.
Later, Li Yuanzhong and Guo Xin sent messengers to detour to Chang'an to report the military situation to the DPRK.
At this time, the Anshi Rebellion had already subsided, and Tang Dezong Li Shi was already in power in the Tang Dynasty.
Only then did the imperial court know that the two Protectors of the Western Regions were still intact, so they named Li Yuanzhong the Protector of Beiting and the King of Ningsai County, and Guo Xin the Protector of Anxi and the King of Wuwei County.
But they are unable to give any reinforcements of troops and money.
Later, the eminent monk Wukong met Guo Xin in Qiuci on his way back from Tianzhu to learn Buddhist scriptures, and also met with the local guardian envoys in Shule, Khotan and Yanqi, which shows that the four towns of Anxi were still in the hands of the Tang army at this time.
They mobilized the army and the people, recruited soldiers from the fields, developed the economy, minted coins, and always used the year name of Datang. Although completely with the Central Plains
After breaking off contact, he is still maintaining a piece of land in the Tang Dynasty in the remote Western Regions.
Beiting was captured by Tubo. At this time, Li Yuanzhong had died four years ago, and Yang Xigu, the successor of Beiting Jiedu, led more than 2,000 people to evacuate to Xizhou. After failing to contact Huihe to recover Beiting, Yang Xigu was killed by Huihe Prime Minister Jiegan Jiasi.
Datang lost contact with Anxi because of this. He did not know the survival of the Anxi Protectorate, and had actually given up control of Anxi.
However, what the imperial court did not expect was that Anxi was still struggling under the leadership of Jiedu envoy Guo Xin.
Guo Xin was born in a family of famous generals. His grandfather Guo Jingzhi was the governor of Shouzhou and Shangzhu Kingdom. His father, Guo Ziyun, was a guerrilla general. His uncle was Guo Ziyi, king of Fenyang, who was a hero in suppressing the Anshi Rebellion.
General Yunhui and General Zuowuwei Guo Xin were ordered to go to governor Hexi and Anxi and other places. Later, he successively served as the empress of the four towns of Anxi, the guardian of Anxi, and the envoy of the four towns. In charge of the Anxi Protectorate.
When he first arrived, Khotan fell first among the four Anxi towns.
But it was not until eighteen years later that Kucha, where the Anxi Protectorate was located, was finally captured by Tubo.
Under the extremely difficult situation, Guo Xin led the remnant Tang army to persist for another 18 years!
Although in the history books, there is no exact record about the time when Anxi finally fell and the whereabouts of Guo Xin.
But I finally confirmed that the last barrier they were guarding was this stone city, and most of the Yin soldiers inside were transformed at that time, let alone incapable, how can I be qualified to deal with them? "
Hearing this, Ji Han and the others were also a little emotional. Even though they didn't see those Tang soldiers with their own eyes, after listening to the Taoist priest in purple ~www.novelbuddy.com~, such a scene can emerge in their minds:
At the last moment when the city was broken, Guo Xin, the king of Wuwei County, who was already full of white hair, led a group of hungry and exhausted veterans, braved the snow all over the sky, and still stood on the top of the city of Kucha and fought **** battles with the Tubo soldiers until all died heroically.
This is not a historical interpretation, let alone a clichéd plot, this is the past in the ancient ruins in front of the real development.
And these people didn't even leave their names in the history books, but what they did was more respectable than those emperors and generals.
Ji Han asked:
"How do fellow daoists know so much about the situation here? Could it be that you have some connections with this place?"
The Taoist priest in purple ate the last two slices of dried pork, waved his hands and said:
"I also came here before and listened to my brother's general talk, and then I went back and checked the relevant books in detail."
"But since it's not about dealing with the Yin soldiers here, why are fellow daoists coming here this time?"
