This winter seems particularly cold, and people in Guanzhong can feel that the wind and snow are heavier than in previous years.
However, the mainland is still fortunate, and the Anbei region of Hetao to the north is even more bitter and cold. The Tang Dynasty Sanshoujiang City, which is close to the Turkic Khanate, also has difficulty in short supply during the winter. In the past two months, food and food have been adjusted from the mainland. However, the vagrants in the north are probably a bit difficult this year, and the livestock people are freezing to death, and it will be difficult to raise ice and snow.
The Three Sushucheng City, namely the East Sushucheng City, the Central Sushucheng City, and the West Sushucheng City, from within and outside the country, is located on the north bank of Hetao. Although it is named surrender, it is not built to accept the surrender of Turkic nobles. It is a group of foreign garrison cities, forming a defense system inside and outside Hetao with surrounding military towns and prefectures. It has a prominent military garrison nature and has a variety of other functions, such as a military and political center, a transportation hub and an economic center.
The city and its surrounding areas organized land reclamation, which partially solved the supply of military rations and expenditures of local garrison troops.
At this time, Shuofang went to the west to Sujiangcheng, a total of about 70,000 Han soldiers and horses, stationed in various military towns, and was controlled by Zhang Renyuan, the general manager of Shuofang Army. There were also cavalrymen of the Xianbei tribes attached to Lingzhou and other places, and all ethnic groups formed a joint defense system (the Tang army did not build the Great Wall). The biggest threat to the north was still the Turkic Khanate.
Although the Turks were defeated by the Tang army many times in the past few decades, they were no longer comparable to the situation where they could reach Chang'an in the past, but this is the case with a lean camel as a horse.
The general manager of Shuofang, Zhang Ren, was appointed as the imperial envoy in the palace in the capital and also served as an official in Youzhou, but the place where he made achievements was in the Turks.
He managed the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, used war and appeasement to achieve his current position and fame.
Every rank of officials has a place to make him successful and famous, usually in one direction, because long-term handling of foreign relations can make him more familiar with the local situation.
For example, the places where Cheng Qianli and Du Xian achieved were the Western Regions and Helong in the west...
Zhang Renyuan was in the north.
In recent years, the northern border of the Tang Dynasty has been generally peaceful, which is inseparable from Zhang Renyuan's ability and contribution.He has a son, Zhang Zhifu, who is also in the same system as his father, as his trusted helper.
Zhang Renyuan's base camp is located in Lingzhou, Shuofang Road, where there is another person who was exiled here and almost forgotten: Li Yixun.
Li Yixun's title is King Size, and he is Li Shangjin's son and the grandson of Emperor Gaozong of Tang.
Emperor Gaozong of Tang had several sons. In addition to those born to Wu Zetian, he also had children with other concubines, but most of them were not allowed to die well.
After Wu Zetian came to power, almost all the princes who were not born to her died of illness or accidental death.
Li Shangjin (the father of Size King Li Yixun) is one of them. Li Shangjin's biological mother was Yang, a palace maid during the reign of Emperor Gaozong. After that, his fate has been bumpy and long-term fear.
Until the first year of Zaichu (690), Wu Chengsi asked Zhou Xing to falsely accuse Shang Jin and Su Jie of rebellion, so he recalled them to Luoyang and handed them over to the Censorate for handling.
Later, Su Jie was killed in Nanlongmen Post. When Shang Jin learned about it, he was very scared and hanged himself...
By doing this, Li Shangjin was scared to death by the sinister political struggle.
After his death, the seven sons left behind were also in trouble. At first, they were all exiled to Xianzhou, and six of them were eliminated locally.
Only King Li Yixun of Suan Size survived. After Emperor Zhongzong of Tang was restored, he escaped from the dangerous situation that could be killed by others at any time and lived in Lingzhou in obscurity.
Perhaps only those who have experienced these hardships will not be willing to show off their bloodlines and would rather live in a low-key manner.
Li Yixun has never interacted with people from Chang'an and is almost in seclusion in Lingzhou. Locals have rarely seen him go out to hunt and play, and has faded out of people's sight.
Not to mention contact with Chang'an, he didn't have much contact with local officials, just like a monk who had gotten rid of the secular world.
However, few people know that he and Shuofang Manager Zhang Renyuan had a very good personal relationship, and he was the kind of person who could be intimate.
Every time Zhang Renyuan inspected various places and returned to Lingzhou, he would wear a small cloth belt and go to have a drink with Li Yixun.
Such friendship has been free from the constraints of secular etiquette, but is very casual.
They often talk about Taoism, Buddhist Zen, or some things on the northern border.Neither of them had a very obsessed religious belief. Speaking of monks and Taoists, it was just a kind of elegance or hobby.
This time, Zhang Renyuan came back from the Sanshoucheng City, and as usual, he went to the government to hand over the affairs and prepared to rest, so he went to visit Li Yixun.
Zhang Renyuan looks in his forties, and his facial bones are a little prominent, making his face look thin and angular, because he is still a little dark in the border for a long time.
However, even if people from literati are not very fair-looking, they can still easily reflect their temperament.
He picked up a jar of wine and went there, not even any other gifts. The jar seemed to have just been dug out of the soil and was still stained with some soil.
When they walked to the gate of the palace, the servants were very familiar with Zhang Renyuan, and immediately came up enthusiastically to ask about their well-being and then took him in.
When I met Li Yixun, I saw that the prince was only in his thirties and had a very pale face, probably because he lacked the relationship between outdoor activities.
There seems to be a saying that paleness is called aristocratic white, which is a bit pathological.
However, his face was born in a square formation, with a plump chin and square facial features, which was the blood of the Li Tang royal family.
The two of them sat down with the guest and the host, and the servants took the jinks, but Zhang Renyuan took the wine jar and took the wine jar with carelessness. When they dug it up today, they calculated that the jar of wine had been buried underground for three years.
Li Yixun picked up the wine glass and put it in front of his nose and half closed his eyes and sniffed it, saying: No wonder it is full of mellowness.
Zhang Renyuan smiled and said: Only good wine that has been hidden for 10 or 20 years is fragrant.
The two of them were chatting in a mess, and only old friends could get along like this. After a while, they fell into a short period of silence. Only then did they realize that the surroundings were already very quiet, and the servants in the palace did not dare to come in and disturb them if they had nothing to do.
Zhang Renyuan said in a very casual tone: I went to the vicinity of Yinshan a while ago. The snow was too heavy. I had to adjust grain from the warehouse near the left to survive this winter.The Turks were also sad and sent people to ask for help... Fortunately, the border was peaceful these years, otherwise they would have to start a war again when they encountered such years. The nomads in the north would not be able to enter the pass and rob...
Zhang Renyuan was nagging about the border incident casually. At this time, Li Yixun suddenly said in a deep voice: I heard that something happened in Chang'an not long ago. Now I am going to abdicate the Xue family. Have you heard of it?
Um.Zhang Renyuan's expression condensed and he responded calmly.
They suddenly fell into silence again. After a long time, Li Yixun's face showed an indignation that was usually hard to see: My 100-year foundation in the Tang Dynasty is about to ruin the wolf's ambition, who can't bear it!
After hearing this, Zhang Renyuan said nothing, his face became very serious.
Li Yixun suddenly looked at him excitedly and said earnestly: Those two thieves are in the Huaqing Palace outside Chang'an. If you get the help of Mr. Zhang's magic weapon, our warriors of the Tang Dynasty will eradicate them in one fell swoop. Restore the foundation of Li Tang, which is a contribution for all generations!If Mr. Zhang is willing to help me, the Tang Dynasty is willing to share with the Zhang family!
The prince is a little relieved.
Zhang Renyuan frowned and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, please tell me clearly. Although I am the general manager of Shuofang and control tens of thousands of troops, there are many Taiping clans in each town. Some of them are very hidden when they see the opportunity, and we can't be prepared for it at all.If the troops in Shuofang were to be transferred to do such a big thing, I am afraid that the Taiping Party, which had not yet been sent to Chang'an, would know that by then, a decree of an imperial edict, one censor would be able to kill Zhang, or the other party was prepared to encircle Shuofang with the elite military expenditure of the whole country. Even if the gods descended to earth, there would be no possibility of victory. What's the point of doing?
Li Yixun suddenly shed tears and cried: If I had known today, it would have been worry-free than to go to the underworld with my father and brother more than 20 years ago.If you live now, you will be powerless when you see the country is in trouble. Life is worse than death!
Zhang Renyuan said with a kind word: Zhang has had a close relationship with the prince for many years, and he has never had the principle of keeping himself alone. However, things will be defeated. Sending death in vain is not only ashamed of the prince, but also helpless...
Li Yixun was heartbroken and cried more fiercely.
At this time, Zhang Renyuan thought for a moment, then knelt down and said: I have a plan, what should I do, Prince?
Li Yixun stopped and wiped his eyes with his sleeve, then looked at him with hope and said: You just say it's okay.
Without Chang'an's military order, the Tang army in the north could not be mobilized to move south, otherwise the risk would be too great that it would be like falling into the trap, but the Turks...
Li Yixun asked in a deep voice: Should we use foreign tribes to enter the country to quell the rebellion?Will this be criticized by scholars all over the world and public opinion be detrimental to me?
Zhang Renyuan said: The only way to maintain the current situation is to do this is nothing else.This year, the way of heaven is not good. The Turks have sent people to ask me for help many times when they have difficulty in winter.We happened to take this opportunity to discuss with him secretly and borrow troops from food, grass and supplies, but the Turks had no reason to refuse.Because after the Tang Dynasty built the Three Surrender City, the Turks had little chance of turning against us, and the resistance to progress would be great; in this case, they could only negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty and request to borrow food.Both sides have their own needs, so there is a great opportunity to reach an agreement.
Li Yixun looked thoughtful, thinking about the joints.
Zhang Renyuan analyzed again: At that time, let the Turkic cavalry go south quietly, we only need to ensure that the people at critical junctures can be trusted. With my power, I will hold the general manager of Shuofang. It is not difficult to arrange some people... at least the risk is much smaller than directly transferring the Tang army to the south, and it is easier to hide major events.
The Turks were more than a thousand miles away from Chang'an. They were so desperate that they were willing to take this risk?Li Yixun began to ask some detailed questions.
Zhang Renyuan said: Let them lie down during the day and go out at night. As long as they can successfully arrive at the Huaqing Palace and kill the two people, there will definitely be changes in the world next.After completing the mission, the Turks surrendered directly to the Tang Dynasty. When the political situation is slightly settled, they are innocent and have made contributions. How could they be dangerous?
However, the mainland is still fortunate, and the Anbei region of Hetao to the north is even more bitter and cold. The Tang Dynasty Sanshoujiang City, which is close to the Turkic Khanate, also has difficulty in short supply during the winter. In the past two months, food and food have been adjusted from the mainland.
