Chatting with Sang Yun felt like traveling through time and space, but he was "ancient and modern". Since he was ordered to go on a mission to the Western Regions, Sang Yun has completely entered another world. For nearly twenty years, he has been born and died almost every day, especially in the past ten years, and he has not had any peace.

As we all know, since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Western Regions have been the territory of the Central Plains. Especially in the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions reached its peak. During the busy Silk Road, merchants and merchants traveled endlessly, and desert oasis became post stations for caravans to move forward. Han family members cultivated and planted in the Western Regions, became rich through business, and reproduced and survived, with a population of millions!

The prosperity of the Western Regions was almost not inferior to the Central Plains. However, after the Anshi Rebellion, the whole situation underwent earth-shaking changes, and it can be said that it fell directly from heaven to hell.

First, in order to protect itself, the Tang Dynasty transferred elite soldiers and generals from the Western Regions to fight against the rebels. After losing the protection of force, Tubo took advantage of the situation and cut off the Hexi Corridor. As a result, the Han people in the Western Regions became an isolated army, and the broken kites with no support were often miserable.

The Tang Dynasty seemed to have forgotten that there was still a group of people in the Western Regions. Twenty-five years later, the Anshi Rebellion had been quelled, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had been changed for several generations. Suddenly, an envoy came from the Western Regions and told the Emperor that the Western Regions legion was still holding on!

I think the shock of the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty at that time was much stronger than Ye Hua's sight of Sang Yun. They were deeply moved by the loyalty and courage of the soldiers of the Western Regions. However, the Tang Dynasty was far from the prosperous Tang Dynasty and was unable to assist the Western Regions Legions. Even so, they held on for another ten years.

After thirty-five years of hard fighting, many people have changed from young men to white-haired old men, bleeding and dead, broken heads and arms, defended the Western Regions to the death, and their souls surround the Tianshan Mountains!

This is the loyalty, brave and brave tiger of the Tang Dynasty!

The Anxi and Beiting Protectorate disappeared, the Western Regions Legion was destroyed by Tubo, and the Central Plains were unable to take care of it. In the worst situation, the Han people in the Western Regions did not give up fighting.

They endured humiliation and accumulated strength. After fifty years, civil strife broke out in Tubo. Zhang Yichao led the Han people in Dunhuang and other places to raise the flag of uprising, attacked Tubo, and successively recovered Guazhou, Shazhou, Xizhou, Hezhou and other eleven states, and returned to the hands of the Tang Dynasty for 4,000 miles of territory.

This shocking horse is called Guiyi Army!

However, after a brief tranquility, new threats emerged. Uighurs invaded, constantly conquered cities and lands, massacred local Han people. The Guiyi army was alone and unable to fight. They chose to form an alliance with the Kingdom of Khotan, which was close to the Central Plains. The two sides intermarried with each other, shared honors and disgraces, fought side by side, protecting millions of Han people and residing in the Western Regions... They encountered more fierce enemies. The powerful Black Khan Kingdom crossed the Pamir Mountains and entered the Western Regions, and repeatedly attacked Khotan. The Black Khan Kingdom was not only strong in troops, but also had strong backings. The great cannibals and Persians continued to support the Black Khan Kingdom for the need to develop eastward.

The soldiers of Khotan were very brave, and the king Li Shengtian was also quite talented, but they could only make ends meet and fight against the Persian knights who were like huge waves.

At the same time, the Guiyi Army's situation was even more dangerous. The Xizhou Uighurs attacked them on the back and Tubo attacked them on the south. In the past ten years, the Dangxiang people have been constantly advancing westward to seize the territory of the Guiyi Army. In addition, the Khitans defeated by the Great Zhou also mobilized their elite troops to plunder in the Western Regions.

According to Sang Yun's introduction, whether it was the Guiyi Army or the Kingdom of Khotan, they were in a storm. When he was ordered to go to the Central Plains to pray for reinforcements, King Li Shengtian of Khotan was seriously ill and in a critical condition.

"If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have let me go back to the Central Plains." Sang Yun smiled bitterly, "I know there is no hope, so I can only give it a try. In more than two years, the rest of us were dead, and I was the only one left. I can't say what the Western Regions are like now. I can only say that the situation will only be worse and will never improve!"

Speaking of this, Sang Yun supported his salute to Ye Hua.

"Please, I want to help the Han people in the Western Regions, otherwise millions of people will be destroyed!"

Ye Hua held Sang Yun down and nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I know this."

Sang Yun raised his head and said, "You must be anxious! What do the saints mean now? Is it a saint willing to use troops for the Western Regions thousands of miles away? Can the court afford it?"

Ye Hua smiled slightly, "I can only tell you that half a year ago, the saint mobilized civilians to repair the Shu Road in order to march into the Western Regions!"

"oh!"

Sang Yun was overjoyed, "Wonderful, in the direction of Bashu, restrain Tubo, and then send troops to open up the roads of the Western Regions. As long as the road is opened, the Han people in the Western Regions will survive... I, I think we should adopt a gentle strategy against Dangxiang. They are greedy for money and reward some. There are also Khitans, and they cannot offend them, and they cannot make too many enemies..."

Sang Yun was muttering, Ye Hua just laughed, "Mr. Sang, what about making enemies? A group of native chickens and tiles are not worth worrying about!"

Ye Hua was full of confidence, but Sang Yun was full of confidence. He was also unlucky. Before he entered the Great Zhou Dynasty, he fell into the hands of Persian merchants and became a poor slave.

Along the way, he only heard some gossips occasionally. Due to the imperial control, Persian merchants could not wander around, so Sang Yun had no idea what happened in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he didn't even know what Yan Yun had recovered.

In addition, Ye Hua is young and speaks very loudly.

As the saying goes, if you have no hair on your mouth and don’t do things well, can his words work?

Sang Yun was full of suspicion, but he didn't ask much questions when he met for the first time.

He could only bear it, but fortunately, someone came soon.

"Are you still alive? Sang Yun, your Uncle Fu is here!"

Fu Yanqing shook his fat body and was the first to enter the ward. His eyes were dizzy and he rubbed hard, and then he could barely see a trace of his appearance, and tears immediately flowed.

"You have suffered!"

Sang Yun was also shocked. Fu Yanqing was majestic and handsome back then, so why did he become fat and become a big bear when he got old? However, the old man's heart was still so warm. After sitting down, he asked about his well-being.

When he heard that Sang Yun was beaten by the Ministry of Rites and Fu Yanqing stopped doing it, he glared at Ye Hua, "I said, "Son-in-law, you must vent your anger for my nephew, call the bastards from the Ministry of Rites and beat them up!"

Ye Hua smiled and said, "Please rest assured by my father-in-law. If I don't need to say anything, they will naturally apologize."

Only then did Sang Yun realize that Ye Hua was Fu Yanqing's son-in-law.

"Uncle Fu, I remember correctly. Your daughter seems to be much older than this one? Why, have you married him?"

Fu Yanqing smiled and shook her head, "No, you are talking about my eldest daughter, she, she just passed away... This kid married my third girl, and you were not born yet when you left!"

"Oh! Congratulations to uncle, you have so many sons and so blessed!"

"It's so injustice!" Fu Yanqing snorted, "I don't think about anything anymore, I just hope that some old people can get together, talk and laugh, and be happy every day. If you have any requirements, tell him quickly." Fu Yanqing pointed to Ye Hua and smiled, "He can do everything for you. When you are fine, I will accompany my uncle and reminisce about the past!"

Sang Yun pondered for a moment, "Uncle, if I remember correctly, he is the champion marquis? I guess it is extraordinary in the army, right?"

Fu Yanqing grabbed his beard and smiled, "This kid is very capable now. To be honest, he can decide how many things happen in Da Zhou are!"

Fu Yanqing was full of pride and wanted to continue to brag about his son-in-law's ability. At this time, the old grandson Wang Pu and Fan Zhi came one after another, followed them, and the Hanlin scholar Li Si also arrived.

Li Si saw Sang Yun, looked at him for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter, "Do you still remember me?"

Sang Yun frowned.

Li Si smiled and said, "I helped you steal your master's calligraphy experience!"

In one sentence, I reminded Sang Yun, "You, you are Li Si? Junior Brother!"

Sang Yun reached out to hold Li Si and sighed: "You were still a little boy at that time. You are all beards now. You seem to have a good official position? You are promising!"

"Just live a life!" Li Si smiled and said, "About that you are also Ye Hua's senior brother. I said, "You are just a junior brother, I'm not here to come and greet the senior brother!"

Ye Hua glared at him, you only have a lot to do!

Then I thought, it’s nothing wrong with becoming a senior brother first, it’s better than calling my uncle with Chen Shi… These people are so complicated that they get together.

Wang Pu and Fan Zhi were both officials under Sang Weihan's hands at that time, and had some contact with Sang Yun, especially Fan Zhi, who was a regular visitor to the Sang family.

The big guys held hands and asked about their well-being.

It has been more than 20 years since their own experiences have been written into a big book. Now, we are getting happier and happier when we get together.

At this moment, there was a chaos outside and Chai Rong's car arrived!

His Majesty the Emperor stepped into the ward, and the ministers immediately saluted.

Chai Rong waved his hand, "Everyone is free of gifts, this is not a polite place."

His Majesty the Emperor came to Sang Yun, "Is this the Warrior Sang Yun?"

Ye Hua hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, he is Sang Yun. He was the envoy who led the envoy to the mission to Khotan during the Tianfu period of the Jin Dynasty. He counted it for twenty years. "

Chai Rong nodded, "It's longer than Su Wu's shepherd! My Han family is not short of hard bones! Ye Qing, what's the situation in the Western Regions? Should we send troops immediately and how many troops are appropriate?"

It is worthy of being His Majesty the Emperor. He goes straight to the topic and does not waste any spitting stars.

"Your Majesty, the Shu Road has not been opened, and the army cannot advance westward."

Ye Hua's words made Sang Yun's heart skip a beat. Could it be that he would be happy?

Fu Yanqing smiled at him and signaled that he didn't have to worry. Then he heard Ye Hua continue: "I think it can send a thousand advance teams to protect temporary safety!"

Chai Rong nodded, "Okay, let Warrior Sang recover first, and we will discuss the issue of sending troops immediately."

The king and his ministers went out, but Fu Yanqing, who was doing nothing, was left. Sang Yun was anxious. There were only one thousand people, and he was dropping a drop in the bucket. It was just a comfort, and it could not solve the problem at all!

"Uncle, do you know that the Black Sweat Cavalry are tens of thousands, covering the sky! One thousand people are not enough to fill the gaps!"
