Gansu, Dunhuang.
Hixi Corridor , the westernmost prefectures and counties, is more than 3,000 miles away from Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. During the Anshi Rebellion, was occupied during the , and has been invaded and belonged to Tubo for more than 30 years.
The southwest direction of the prefectures is Yangguan, which connects the Central Plains and the Western Regions . Whenever the sun sets in the desert shines between the heaven and earth, there seems to be a shadow of words flashing on the broken city wall.
A pair of grandparents and grandchildren rested under the city gate. The grandfather told the huge war. The grandson stared at the pass eroded by wind and sand, vaguely identifying the traces of the inscription and verses.
The morning rain in Weicheng is light dust, and the green willows in the guest house are fresh.
advises you to have a glass of wine, and there is no friend when you go west to Yangguan.
Grandpa, where is Weicheng?
Zhang family, the state general family.
As a local powerful man in Shazhou, Lao Zhang never timid when he was young. Even when he was old enough to join the army according to law, he was still a thorn in the barracks.
The Gobi yellow sand beats the rough and unruly, and charges in various war activities. He takes the lead in fighting when he doesn't fight. Lao Zhang's contributions and mistakes are almost equal.
I heard that we will transfer a new chief.
Lao Zhang didn't take the new leader seriously. He was thin and ugly, but still had long and short legs. It is said that he was slandering Gao Xianzhi with his face. Lao Gao couldn't get rid of it, so he gave him a chance.
It will cost a heavy price to judge people by their appearance. The new chief has no smile on his face, and he doesn't have to look at his orphans. Old Zhang is still dragged out and beaten up after making a mistake.
After Lao Zhang was beaten by a military stick, he was carried back to the barracks. After greeting the eighteen generations of his superiors, he was carrying him outside the barracks and beaten up when he was thinking about the fancy nicknames.
Remember, my name is Feng Changqing (see Qinling Yibai. Feng Changqing Chapter).
people, admire those who are better than themselves.
Lao Zhang felt quite jealous of Feng Changqing, but his jealousy gradually became respectful, suppressing Daxi's rebellion and defeating Bolu Kingdom, and Feng Changqing became increasingly famous in the army.
This dark-faced thin man with a mountain is very capable of commanding in front of the battlefield. He is strict in law enforcement and can be impartial. Even Gao Xianzhi's fucking brother was cut off.
I'm good at it, I almost got into the wrong person.
Feng Changqing was promoted to Anxi Four Towns Jiedu, and he was also an idol in the eyes of his soldiers. As a hardcore fan of Feng Changqing, Lao Zhang made fewer mistakes and more meritorious.
A person rises to the level of idols, which means he will enjoy an additional halo. If his moral integrity is insufficient to set an example, it often means that there are problems in social atmosphere.
The soldiers of the border sacrificed their lives and made great efforts under the demonstration of the coach. Yang Guozhong flattered in the court, and the old and stupid emperor even praised it.
The gap will only flatten during the overturn (see Qinling Yibai. Tang Xuanzong article).
755, Anshi Rebellion.
Feng Changqing took the initiative to request recruitment of troops to fight, but he was defeated again and again until he retreated to Tongguan . He always looked at the blood-stained coach, and there seemed to be a hint of panic on his black face.
Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi planned the war, and the military supervisor Bian Lingcheng could not interfere at all. The eunuch wanted to angrily show his presence and report to the emperor that these two guys were afraid of the war.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was furious and ordered the execution of two generals.
Lao Zhang is still guarding the coach, unable to understand the intention of killing the general in the last battle. Feng Changqing calmly finished writing the memorial and asked him to ask Bian Lingcheng to hand it over to the emperor.
100Knife and Axeman escorted Feng Changqing. Under the onlookers of the soldiers, Lao Zhang pushed forward in the surging crowd, feeling something cracked in his heart.
Fengchang Qing Dynasty He squeezed out a wry smile, and Lao Zhang instantly burst into tears. The commander who once beat him up, shocked the Western Regions but ended in this way.
Expand "Feng Changqing and Xie Death" and said sadly, he couldn't bear to read it again for a second time. Lao Zhang carefully copied a copy and gave the original document to Bian Lingcheng.
The soldiers they commanded were all mobs and had never been taught.
leads the people of Zhounan City to be the army of Yuyang thunder cavalry.
The minister wanted to stand up and take the sword down, but before the army of death, he was afraid that he would rebel against the power of Hu and to defeat the power of the king's army.
After my death, I hope Your Majesty will not care about this thief and will not forget my words.
Looking to the sky and drinking poison and sealing the seal to the sun, he is the minister who advises the corpse and becomes a ghost in the holy dynasty.
Life and death rewards gratitude, and I don’t want to be grateful. I always leave the holy love forever.
Let’s go, please ask the court for what’s going on.
Lao Zhang returned home and Tubo was also here.
Tang Dynasty The army could not stop the Anshi rebels, so they had to borrow troops from the foreign countries in the Western Regions to suppress the rebellion. Tubo and Uighurs took the opportunity to get a bargain, and the emperor on the way to escape had no choice.
The situation between the host and guest countries began to rise upside down, and the power of the Tang Dynasty never returned. If there is no power to maintain the surrender of the world, then you have to endure the backlash after the glory.
Hexi four counties , shaking.
Tubo soldiers successively captured Guazhou and other places, and the sandbank gradually became an isolated city. Hexi Jiedushi wanted to abandon the city and surrender in order to return to the Central Plains to reunite with the whole family.
Deputy General and other subordinates refused to surrender because they were all natives from Shazhou. The barbaric habits of Tubo after the city were broken were either kidnapped or traumatized to death.
Yan Chao strangled the leader who was preparing to surrender, took over the overall situation and resisted the Tubo attack, and saved himself for eight years. The situation was critical many times but he survived.
They were looking forward to the Tang Dynasty to help, and the court said that they were also in a state of great anxiety. Looking at the surrounding Tubo, they could only turn their fear into fighting spirit.
Every time you get Chinese
, you can fill your position and serve your servants.
If you have a rough and literary style, you will be ignorant of your right arm and wait for to praise 's life.
The strong men became slaves and farmed and grazed.
All weak and elderly people killed them, or cut their hands and eyes, and abandoned them.
What should I do if there is no military ration?
Yan Chao ordered the official property in the treasury to be moved out of the treasury, and the price was priced for a piece of silk and a bucket of wheat. The people in the city lined up to deliver food, and many people didn't even want the silk cloth to be exchanged.
The surging public opinion inspires the fighting spirit of soldiers, but fighting spirit cannot determine the current situation. After two years of cobbling together, Shazhou City has reached the verge of collapse.
Ten years of resistance have received some negotiation capital.
Yan Chao had only one demand for surrender, that is, he could not move the people of Shazhou. After discussion, the Tubo side agreed and since then he would include Hexi and Beiting in the territory.
Yan Chao used his greatest ability to avoid the misery of falling. He was poisoned after the party, and the people of Shazhou also became third-class citizens.
There were fighting or talking between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, but they could never stabilize their position in Hexi. Shazhou lingered between hope and despair, and the Tang dialect gradually mixed with the Tubo flavor.
The sun and moon in the desert are still changing in the darkness, and oppression is always accompanied by aging and arrival. The glory of the Tang Dynasty passed down from generation to generation is becoming more and more intense in the desolate reality.
More than thirty years later, Lao Zhang has become a grandfather.
story, it depends on you to tell it.
Lao Zhang stared at the setting sun outside Yangguan. After sitting for a long time, he struggled to get up. He reached out and asked his grandson to help him up and walked towards Shazhou City swayingly.
Zhang Yichao chased after him in a dizzy head. Grandpa said so much and was really hard to digest. He was still muttering the Tang poem in his mouth and asking what Weicheng looked like.
Weicheng is beautiful, I really hope you have the chance to see it.
Zhang Yichao has no idea about Tang , but he is very familiar with Tubo. These guys who regard the law as nothing can make a big deal even if they have a barbecue in the middle of the night.
As a powerful child in Shazhou, his situation is slightly better than that of ordinary people. Since he heard the past told by his grandfather, he has some thoughts in his heart from time to time.
Zhang Yichao crawled into the study room at home, feeling the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty between the lines, a piece of yellowed paper fell to the ground, and after leaning over and picking it up, he saw the passionate and sadness.
Feng Changqing wrote before his execution, and had no complaints about the emperor's criticism. He still had to guide the king's army as a soul. What kind of kindness will make him die without regrets?
A seed is buried in the heart.
Talk about soldiers and swords, and practice martial arts scriptures.
zhou influenced the martial arts skills of the aristocratic family, inherited and continued Zhang Yichao, traced and studied Sun Wu Bai Qi's military law, and integrated the ideological wisdom that spanned thousands of years.
A Tang poem circulating from Beiting tells the tragic situation after the Tubo invasion. When Zhang Yichao was reciting and copying, he felt as if he was writing a sandbank.
The world is boiling and accumulating years, and people lose their plans to reach a thousand coins.
attached to the country planted two hectares of land, and the torture is not charged with eleven taxes.
This year, the seedlings look even weaker, and the industry must be abandoned.
I don’t know how many people in the world are, but I see the waves and run away like rain.
goes away like a boat, flowing with the waves and water.
has been wandering thousands of miles away, who doesn’t have a homesickness?
Many people missed the dead Tang Dynasty, and were more fascinated by the reality. However, the court was busy with the Niu Li party struggle, and the military and civilians in the border areas seemed to be pushing up.
Zhang Anhui Chao perfects his own reserves and uses literary talent and martial arts to fill the rise and fall of the sun. Only by first building yourself strong enough can you resist the variables in the outside world.
This wise and brave child of aristocratic family gradually gained praise from local famous families. The heroes admired him in his heart, and even Buddhist monks appreciated his views.
A huge dark web has quietly taken shape, Zhang Yichao occupying the center, slim-fitting and family may not necessarily make people go faster, but it will definitely make people go more steadily and farther.
A seedling sprouts under the huge rock.
The midday will be bliss, and the full moon will be lost.
The strength of the Tubo Dynasty reached its peak and it inevitably declined. The internal strife between the royal family triggered division, and chaos and disorder gave birth to a new round of reshuffle.
Zhang Yichao ushered in the best opportunity, but as the authorities, it is difficult to see through it. Superb insight and extraordinary courage, resolutely shouldered the first banner of resistance.
In Shazhou City, swords and swords are shining.
The people of Shazhou who had endured humiliation for more than 60 years grabbed bricks and stones and smashed them at the Tubo soldiers. Zhang Yichao won the battle in the first battle, and Tubo soldiers from surrounding prefectures and counties gathered.
htmlThe siege of the city more than 0 years ago repeated, but the combat power of both sides reversed. Zhang Yichao climbed the city tower to arrange troops and set off fire to drive cattle to disperse the Tubo reinforcements.Cheers broke out from the Shazhou City Tower, and a smile appeared on Zhang Yichao's face. Even if the war next became more tragic, at least he saw hope for the success of the uprising.
A crack spread to Beiting, Hexi, and sparked a few sparks wherever he went. The Tubo royal court received emergency letters one after another, and the Tang Dynasty court also took the opportunity to recover the lost territory.
A bird flies, a hundred birds are following, the world is in chaos.
Shazhou is restored and will repay the Emperor of Tang Dynasty!
Zhang Yichao sent people to Chang'an to deliver the letter, but could not find a smooth route. Dunhuang is located at the westernmost end of the Hexi Corridor, and heading eastward is full of Tubo's territory.
Ten letter senders chose ten routes, nine of which fell into the Tubo bowl. A Buddhist monk went north to Inner Mongolia and was arrested by the Tang Dynasty defenders as a spy.
I am Wuzhen and I am sending a letter to the emperor.
days German army soldiers looked at the monk, wondering how he got here alive. Apart from the unmanned land, there was no blockade along the way, and how much faith it would be to travel more than two thousand miles.
The ragged Wu Zhen was extremely weak, but the light flashed in his eyes. After a brief rest in the Tang army barracks, he was escorted to Chang'an to meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Xuanzong made a high evaluation of this and rewarded Zhang Yichao as the defensive envoy of Shazhou, saying that Shazhou is still an enclave and the court cannot provide substantial assistance.
Wuzhen, holding the third-grade purple robe, walked into the temple in the capital to continue his practice. After he finished what he could do, he then did what he should do.
discussion, I will pray for you.
After the news of the story was gone, Zhang Yichao was not idle.
He abolished the old Tubo rules in Shazhou City, restored the laws before the Tang Dynasty, and stationed grain and trained troops while repairing weapons. The flag of the Guiyi Army was planted on the city gate tower.
Guazhou Yizhou and other lost lands successively recovered, fighting against the army of Uighurs and Tuguhun. Zhang Yichao and the Tang Dynasty were separated by Liangzhou, which was the last stronghold of Tubo in Hexi.
Three years of war, restoring eleven prefectures and counties.
A twenty-nine-person pilgrimage group took the map and headed towards Chang'an again. In order to eliminate the emperor's concerns about the vassal states, Zhang Yichao asked his brother to be the leader of the group.
This time, the road to the east was easy, because a large area of Hexi was recovered, and Zhang Yitan stepped on the loess and was immersed in the magnificent atmosphere of the eight waters surrounding the city.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang took over the pictures of the eleven states and gently stroked each prefecture with his fingertips. He lost his name for nearly a hundred years and returned to the rule of the Tang Dynasty.
Xianzong often had the ambition to recover rivers and forced areas, but he was busy using troops in the Central Plains, and the matter was not done. My will is enough to comfort my father’s spirit in heaven!
The capital is prosperous, so don’t leave.
The elder brother is in the capital, and the younger brother is in Hexi.
The country affairs should not be loyal to brothers. Behind the emperor's grace, loyalty is needed. Delegation of power can make the ministers more powerful, but there must be a wire in your hand.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang has a nickname called Xiao Taizong. He has mastered the rules. The difference is that Zhang Yichao admires the Tang Dynasty. What else is more loyal than his inner longing?
was appointed as the Minister of Personnel and General of Jinwu, and was granted the founding Duke of Nanyang County, with a fief of 2,000 households.
Zhang Yichao was officially appointed by the court, and at the same time took on the burden of recovering Hexi, recruited Tubo surrendered soldiers and Han soldiers, and pointed directly to the last important city of Liangzhou. He appointed his nephew Zhang Huaishen as the head coach and led 7,000 Han soldiers to fight eastward. This Guiyi army fought for three years in bloody battles, and then recovered Liangzhou and took back the former land of Hehuang.
The melodious Hexi Corridor of the Silk Road camel bells has returned to the Tang Dynasty's arm after more than a hundred years. Zhang Yichao was promoted to the highest commander in the northwest, repairing the sore holes since the Anshi Rebellion.
The sun and moon in the desert are still rotating in the darkness, and careful governance has spawned the prosperity of merchants. The elderly who have experienced war hugged the children and told them Zhang Yichao's great achievements.
Hexi has fallen for more than a hundred years, and the road is blocked and the geese are rare.
Relief to the general to open his way back and revive his reputation in the world.
A giant tree supports the world of Hexi.
Many people miss the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, but no one can turn his back on history. Tang Yizong After he succeeded to the throne, eating, drinking and having fun, the slim hope of revival was completely ruined.
Zhang Yichao was full of longing. There was only endless official business on his desk. He had no chance to go to Chang'an to see it, and Chang'an did not give him substantial assistance.
Xuan Yi has a weak virtue, and he has no time to do anything, but only the name of the founding of the Ministry.
Dangxiang, Uighurs, Tuhun and Tubo are always eyeing the Hexi Corridor. These horseback tribes have strong mobility and turn around and run away after robbing them.
Zhang Yichao led his troops to Tuhun territory, killed three prime ministers and captured 300 people, drove more than 2,000 camels, horses, cattle and sheep, and returned triumphantly singing the music of the formation.
北上千余里打到伊州城西，揍得回鹘部落光着脚跑路，清点战利品获得驼马万匹，对方还舔着脸派人请求和谈。
Zhang Yichao incorporated the leader of the Uighur tribe and took him to fight the prime minister of Tubo, and successfully killed Shang Hore and re-entered the capital. The Tubo dynasty gradually disappeared from then on.
Prepare horses every day and train troops every day to prepare for the stubbornness and never have time to spare.
00, and I seem to be tired.
This famous Hexi general, who is over 60 years old, doubts his inner longing and has heard countless atmospheres about the Tang Dynasty, but in fact it is not much warmth.
There is nothing better than longing for, because imagination embellishes beauty. It was a belief that was oppressed by Tubo, but now this belief seems to be eclipsed.
From beginning to end, they are all self-reliant.
Emperor Yizong of Tang devoutly welcomed the Buddha's bone relics and spent huge sums of money to build temples to support monks. The people of Hexi planted melons in the Gobi desert. The harvest of a mu of land was not enough for the nobles to pay for tea.
Reality seems cold compared to dreams. After warm celebration, it will become dull. The belief to return to the Tang Dynasty will gradually dissipate. What else can you use to condense the fighting spirit of the military and the civilians?
Beliefs can stimulate endless potential and use all your strength to reach the peak. However, after the peak, it will inevitably fall back. If there is no innovation, it will collapse.
Zhang Yichao is in charge of the large area, witnessing the decline of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and his age and energy decline, the Guiyi Army also needs emerging generals to take over.
story, it depends on you to tell it.
The elder brother died of illness in the capital, and the younger brother decided to enter the capital.
Zhang Yichao gave up his position to Zhang Huaishen. He was the son of his elder brother Zhang Yitan. He took his family to Chang'an City and was willing to be the lead of the court to hold Hexi tightly.
In front is the Tang Dynasty that I had longed for throughout my life, and behind is the Shazhou City that I fought for half my life. With my unyielding insight and courage, Zhang Yichao finally moved from reality to dream. He has walked this path for a lifetime.
Looking at the vast Gobi Desert outside the carriage window, Zhang Yichao saw a familiar figure, sometimes holding the document and calculating, sometimes turning into combat will pull out his sword and charge into the formation.
The figure seemed to be unable to see him, constantly changing his figure to deal with matters. Zhang Yichao stared at himself back then and slowly lowered the curtain with relief.
Shazhou is more than 3,000 miles away from Chang'an City. The 69-year-old man walks slowly. Perhaps because he knows that he will never come back, he always wants to see more mountains, rivers and rivers in his hometown.
The people of Hexi heard that Zhang Yichao had left, and they depicted the travel of the army in Mogao Grottoes . Several majestic and spectacular scenes expressing their sincere respect.
Towering ancient trees, falling leaves are falling.
was awarded the Right Shenwu Army, given it to the land, and added to the Situ.
Zhang Yichao moved into the house of Xuanyangfang . The door signs of the neighbors are as clear as thunderous. Yang Guozhong and Gao Xianzhi are diagonally opposite the door, but they have changed several owners.
stands on the central axis of Zhuque Street , embracing the majestic atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty imperial city. Squinted his old eyes and looked at it carefully, as if it was a comparison with his former longing.
A bright moon hangs high in the night sky, and the pavilions are folded in the shadows. Zhang Yichao remembered the empty space outside the Yang Pass, and could see the end of the world with his eyes.
Let’s go and see Weicheng.
Yibai: You are here after all.
Zhang Yichao: Why are you here?
Yibai: Of course, I am waiting for you.
Zhang Yichao: Don’t you write any further?
Yibai: What to write, is it more pretentious?
Zhang Talk: Render the atmosphere.
Yibai: Haven’t you seen Chang’an before?
Zhang Yichao: Then you didn’t write much.
Yibai: It is better to listen than to see, it is better to think than to listen.
Zhang Yichao: Actually, I didn’t read it seriously either.
Yibai: Well, you are meeting yourself.
Zhang Yichao: Weicheng is still very beautiful.
Yibai: You are more beautiful than what Lao Zhang saw.
号: A cup of local honey water will be more beautiful.
Yibai: You have no fame in later generations.
Zhang Yichao: What does this have to do with me?
Yibai: Because you are really awesome.
Zhang Talk: Work hard and see yourself.
died in Chang'an, seventy-four years old, and was awarded Taibao.
Five years later, Huang Chao Uprising .
Eight years later, the Guiyi army was in civil strife.
Thirty years later, Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty.
Sixty years later, Xixia destroyed the Guiyi army.
withering and prosperous, with a strong and declining momentum, contentment is not humiliating, and knowing to stop is not in danger.
