Chapter 96: Shule’s Past Two

After Guo Luo returned to the Tang army camp, he first talked about Shule's experiences and experiences, "Although Shule Tang people had the nine years of cultivation and rest, in the tenth year, the Uighurs discovered the tricks, and now remeasure the land and land taxes, so since then, the Shule Tang people have lived in extremely difficult times for decades, but they are unarmed and cannot fight against the Uighurs. I waited for them to tell them the past and confirm their sincerity, and then they roughly told them about the arrival of the envoy and the situation of our march during this period. Master Faru was ecstatic when he heard that the imperial envoy sent an imperial envoy to the Western Regions. All the great monks heard that we defeated the Uighurs.

The army occupied Talas again, and they were also happy. Master Faru said, "Talas is small and has no danger to defend. He is facing enemies everywhere. It is worse than Shule. The front is close to the enemy. Later, there is Yutian for assistance. The farmers inside are all the remains of the Tang Dynasty. They can attack and retreat or defend, and can be stationed for a long time.' So he invited us to go south and sent two envoys to come. I stayed in the Jokhang Temple for two days, and then went to Xiashule with Abul and got in touch with the elders of the Ming Cult. The elders of the Ming Cult were prepared to reprimand. He heard that we could all be foreign aid and were excited. He also sent three envoys to follow me. I didn't expect that we had just walked here and met our own scouts."

After he finished his experiences at Shule, he had to arrange for Murong Chunhua to invite Faxin and Jialing to meet the generals. As for the arrangements for meeting the envoys of the Ming Cult, it was right behind. Although Shule Tangmin and the Ming Cult were both friendly forces who were willing to respond, there was a difference between closeness and distantness.

Murong Chunhua had just left, Yang Ding Guo Highway: "Wait." He told him the story of Kuba's jihadist asking Baitash to go. Guo Luo's heart sank and said, "If Abian does not go, the Uighurs have doubts about us, and they may not be willing to let the envoy come back. Even if the envoy comes back, they must have doubts in their hearts. If they march back, they will have obstacles." Yang Dingguo and others were not able to make decisions on this matter, but Guo Luo is Guo Bian's elder brother and one of the decision-makers of the entire army. In this way, public and private dilemma falls on him. He cannot slaughter and make a decision. If he can't bear to make a decision, he must make a decision! Guo Shiyong can be pushed to Yang Dingguo, Yang Dingguo can be pushed to Guo Luo, but who will Guo Luo go to?

After a while of sadness, Guo Luo still called his younger brother Guo Bian and Guo Fen to approach him and told him that he knew about this. Why did he call Guo Fen? Therefore, the matter involved Guo Bian's life, which was both a state and a family matter, so Guo Luo asked Guo Fen to beside him.

Guo Fen's face changed drastically when he heard this. Although Guo Luo was just telling this matter and did not contain a tone of order or persuasion in his words, Guo Fen knew his younger brother's character. As long as he told him about this matter, Guo Bian would definitely go! Even if Guo Luo did not give orders, it was no different from his orders. The eldest sister always favored the younger brother and dared not say anything, but couldn't help but look at Guo Luo with resentment.

Sure enough, Guo Bian shouted as soon as he heard this: "What's there to hesitate about? I'll go!"

Guo Luo said in a deep voice: "Do you know, what does it mean when you go like this?"

Guo Bian pouted and said, "What else can I do? Isn't it just a hostage?"

Yang Dingguo sighed, "Child, this time I go to be a hostage, not only should I be smart and smart, but also...ah! We will definitely be in trouble in the end, so those who go there are probably...will be killed!"

"I know! Isn't it just death? So what!" Guo Bian said without knowing what death is: "In the past few months, we have fought hard battles, and I can only be jealous. I hate myself for being young - in fact, I am not young anymore! But you just don't let me go in battle to kill the enemy. Now, I have a chance to make meritorious service, you must let me go!"

Guo Fen grabbed Guo Bian's hand and said, "Abian, Abian..."

Guo Bian smiled and comforted his sister: "Don't do this, don't worry, I have imitated Baitash's expression and movements well, and there will be no flaws."

As for appearance, it is not within the scope of consideration. Guo Xin is Guo Ziyi's nephew, but he is a deputy governor of Anxi thousands of miles away and a governor of the four towns. According to the rules, his family members have to stay in Chang'an. After the Hexi Corridor was cut off, he saw that there was no hope of returning east. In order to leave his bloodline, Guo Xin married the daughter of the Yuchi family in the late years. During this century, he was in the Western Regions. Three generations of heads, including Guo Xin, married Hu girls. Therefore, Guo Luo and Guo Bian were of mixed blood, and the situation of the Yang family was similar.

Suddenly, he heard a choking sound, but Guo Fen couldn't help crying. When Guo Bian wanted to call him, Guo Fen had already rushed over and hugged his younger brother tightly, but he just cried silently, but couldn't say a word.

Guo Fen also knew that this was for the great cause of the clan. He thought that his father was supporting the crisis in the rear, so he lost his mother. Unexpectedly, he might lose a younger brother in a blink of an eye, but he could not stop this matter, and he could not even speak. Therefore, he had to swallow his sorrow, gritted his teeth, and could not speak, but he could not stop his tears.

Guo Bian was so sad that Guo Fen cried so hard that he pushed her away. He turned around and wiped his eyes hard, squeezed out the tears in his eyes, and turned around and said angrily: "Sister, why are you crying? It's broken my spirit in vain! Don't cry, don't cry! This is my glory! I don't allow you to cry!"

In the big tent, the three generations of old, middle-aged and young men did not make any sound, and they were all silent. Only Guo Fen couldn't help but sob, and suddenly heard a voice at the door of the tent saying, "Good! Good!"

But he saw two monks standing at the tent gate, which was Faxin and Jialing. They arrived outside the tent and heard what was happening inside the tent. They asked Murong Chunhua the whole story. They were moved. Jialing approached the tent, held Guo Bian's hand, and said, "Little brother, you have such a courage to sacrifice yourself at a young age. The Buddha will definitely bless you. You will definitely be safe when you go here."

Guo Bian, Yang Dingguo, Guo Shiyong and others were like relatives. Jialing was just a strange distant relative to him after all, and he refused to show weakness in front of him. He raised his head and smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely. But it's not the blessing of the Buddha! But I believe in my brother-in-law! Even if I enter the tiger's den, my brother-in-law will definitely have a way to pick me up."

When Guo Fen heard Guo Bian mention Zhang Mai, he was sure that Guo Bian would be able to come back and felt more confident: "Yes, yes! He will definitely have a solution!"

Jialing was stunned and said, "Brother-in-law?"

Guo Bian smiled and said, "My brother-in-law is Special Envoy Zhang."

"Enterprise Zhang? Is the imperial envoy from Chang'an?"

"good!"

Kuba was like a barracks that were about to be started at any time, and the war was ready to start very quickly. After Guo Bian arrived, Zhang Mai sent Li Bin to tell Vardan that he was going back. Vardan was content with "Baitash" and was so happy that he was as if he had obtained a treasure, so he did not stop Zhang Mai from leaving.

Before leaving, Guo Bian grabbed Zhang Mai's sleeve and said, "General Huolan, when will we go back to Talas?" There is something in this sentence that only the Tang army can understand.

Zhang Mai smiled and said, "Young Master, don't worry, we won't go, Talas, go, Shule! Then, Balashaguon!" Guo Bian nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, let's wait for General Huolan to come back to pick me up."

Zhang Mai agreed with a smile.

When Valdan and others saw Guo Bian reluctant to part with Zhang Mai, they didn't care. They thought that the young man's family suddenly left his confidant general and went to a strange place. It was reasonable to have such a behavior.

Zhang Mai rode on the bloody horse given by Asil, and drove at lightning speed. More than 20 cavalry including Shiba, Ma Xiaochun and others rushed back to the military camp on the Pearl River. At this time, the Tang army had already crossed the river.

When Zhang Mai heard that Guo Luo had also come back, he was overjoyed. After entering the tent, he asked about his experiences. Guo Luo said one by one, and invited the two monks Shule and the envoys of the Ming Cult to come to meet.

The elder of the Ming Cult was full of enthusiasm and said to Zhang Mai: "Now Xia Shule is all under the control of me Manichaeists. As long as the Tang army arrives at the Geluoling Pass, we will raise an army to respond! Xia Shule can change its flag whenever she hears the sound. As for Shule's city, we will definitely be able to get it under the attack of both of us!"

Li Bin was behind for half a day before he arrived. He just heard this outside the tent. He watched coldly. It was not until the elder of the Ming Cult left that there was no third person around, so he said to Zhang Mai: "I am afraid that there will be troubles in the Shule side. The special envoy should take this matter to heart."

Zhang Mai asked, "Why do you say that?"

Li Bin said: "Ming's scholars were mostly lower-class people. Even if there were a few people like Nair Shahi, they all climbed up from a very low status. Moreover, when Nair Shahi was still very poor, he enveloped the teachings of Mani. After wealth, his beliefs remained unchanged. However, there were not many such people in his religion. Within the Ming sect, most of them were born from poor backgrounds. Unless they were born heroes, such as Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, they would mostly have short-sighted and narrow-minded skills. I was a little worried about this. I saw their elders again today and spoke so frivolously, because they were afraid that the elders in their religion would have many plans. Suddenly, they heard that there were large troops calling for help from outside. The church was excited and excited. The thoughts in their hearts were out of shape, and their plans might be leaked in advance."

Zhang Mai asked: "If so, how can we prevent it?"

"This is impossible to prevent. Can we still send people to mention their elders? That will only make them feel that we look down on them, but things will be bad. We can only hope that their Ming Guan will bless you." Li Bin said: "When we were still in Julan City that day, the situation was different from today, so I heard that there were those who could fight with us, so how could the world be controlled? But even if Shule was in trouble in advance, as long as the false information was rarely cleared, as long as Shule Tang people's support for us was not shaken, we still have a chance of winning."

Zhang Mai pondered for a while and said, "Since it is not something that is difficult for us to change, let's not consider it. Let's first open up the affairs of Erjisan and Shule, and we will talk about it later!"
