Chapter 2 Zhaowu Messenger

More than one person came, a total of three. Except for Prince Shi, Steyranman, he recognized the other two, but he had never seen them.

"Protector"

Stey Ranmian, who was the same age as Sun Xiurong, once again saw the best player in front of him who was selected from Anxi Jump Camp in the same class. He forced himself to hold back his thoughts of sighing again and introduced the other two to him.

The countries in the river are now similar in their clothing. They mostly use thick headscarves to wrap their heads, but they are just the color of the headscarves, the feathers and jades that are decorated. Specifically, those who believe in the Zoroastrianism often use white headscarves and fiery red jade/feathers to decorate them.

"This is the prince of Huoxun Kingdom, with a surname of Avrig and a name of Huoxun Kingdom. Before the rise of the great cannibals, Huoxun Kingdom completely surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. When they learned that the Tang people called it "Huoxun Kingdom", they followed the customs of Zhaowu countries. There were also noble surnames such as Huo and Xun Kingdom. Huo was the royal surname, and Xun Kingdom was the second largest noble surname after Huo."

Sun Xiurong looked at Hawthorne and saw that the turban on his head was green, and the gems inlaid were blue with a touch of fiery red.

"Cough cough", Steyranmian saw Sun Xiurong staring at Hawthorne's headscarf and quickly continued to introduce, "In the eyes of the Sogdians, Huoxun Kingdom is also called Hualazimo, and the oasis there ranks first among the Zhaowu countries, Hualazimo, and the territory of the Sogdian sun god."

"It is connected to the Aral Sea in the north, and there are deserted deserts on the other three sides. There is only one Wuhu water that connects to the outside world. The oasis area is almost the sum of Anguo, Kangguo, Shiguo, and Bahanna. There are 50,000 or 60,000 households in Dingkou, and 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers."

Steyranmian said Tang language, so the other two naturally couldn't understand it. "At present, the royal family surname of Huoxun Kingdom, Avrig, was invaded by the Great Cannibal, and at that time, his Governor Qu Dibo of Khorasan had unexpectedly crossed hundreds of miles of desert from the Caspian Sea to break into his country. Huoxun Kingdom was unprepared for a while and was defeated by the Great Cannibal."

"Since then, this place has become a territory for the great cannibals, but the royal family is still retained, but the main government affairs have been managed by the Persians who converted to the great cannibals."

Sun Xiurong nodded and thought to himself: "Isn't it the regulations of half of the castles of the Tang army and the local royal tribes in the four towns of Anxi?"

"Not long ago, due to disputes within the Great Cannibal, it is said that its royal family has also been replaced, and the flag has also changed from white to black. Huoxun Kingdom will naturally take this opportunity to expel the local Great Cannibal army, but unexpectedly, Great Cannibal quickly controlled the situation."

"But the Sogdians naturally would not miss this opportunity. In Anguo, there was a Persian from Khorasan. In the Great Food Church, he belonged to the Shiites. He was originally a general sent by the White-Clothing Great Food to Anguo. Although the White-Clothing Great Food Clan believed in another sect, Sunni, he was also very tolerant of the Shiites that the Persians believed in."

"But the new black-clothed food seems to be not very tolerant. The general was named Sherik, so he incited the craftsmen and farmers in Anguo to rebel and killed Nasr, the governor of the Great Veteran in the Korasan area. Ahem, he was the one who fought with us a few years ago and expelled the king Ye Jie. By the way, this person is Ye Jie."

It turned out that the other white turban and the fiery red gem was the King of Anguo Ye Jie. Seeing that he looked in his early thirties, when he saw Sun Xiurong looking at him, he quickly followed the rules of the Han people and bowed with his fists.

"Then what's the matter if you turn off the fire and search for the country?"

"After learning about Anguo, Huoxun Kingdom was naturally unwilling to fall behind, and also killed and expelled officials and soldiers who were in charge of the great cannibals there."

"As for our country", what Steyranmann mentioned was his mother country, Shiguo. "Originally, there were two big cities in China. The capital Qishi City in the north was our capital, and the city of Sebo City in the south was."

(Qishi City, later generations of Shahrisabz, Nasepo City, later generations of Uzbekistan Karshi)

"During the time when the Great Protector was gone, Naser moved his Governor's Palace to Nasebo City, which could easily shock the countries north of the Wuhu River. Now that Naser died, Naser's Sebo naturally became a mess."

"However, the cannibals reacted extremely quickly. The newly appointed Governor of Khorasan was called Bingbo Silin and immediately sent his general. The former Governor of Tocharia Ziad went north to replace Nasr. He brought 30,000 infantry and cavalry to attack Abumi City, the capital of Anguo."

(Abumi City, later Bukhara, At this time, Anguo was set up as Anxi Prefecture by the Tang Dynasty)

"At the beginning, Sherik relied on Abumi City to play a role with Ziyad, but it was not enough. At this time, something happened again."

"oh?"

"In Anguo and Kangguo, there was a great merchant from a royal family. His business reached the Tang Dynasty in the east, the Khanate in the west, and the Tianzhu Kingdom in the south. It is said that his wealth had long been above the King of Anguo and the King of Kangguo. Not to mention anything else, he had a thousand camels specially used for trade, and two thousand caravans guarded two thousand people. They were all brave and difficult to tame, and they only obeyed the orders of this person."

"This man is Kubat. Seeing that his business road was completely destroyed by Sherik and others, he naturally was unwilling to accept it. He gathered Anguo, Kangguo's great merchants, and hundreds of landlords, each with dozens to hundreds of guards. Finally, he gathered tens of thousands of troops and gathered a large amount of food and grass."

"On the one hand, Kubat used food and grass to help Ziyad, who was close to the out of food, and on the other hand, he cooperated with the cannibals to attack Sherik. Now Sherik has suffered several defeats, and the defeat is right in front of him. Huo Xunguo, and when our country sees this situation, he is naturally frightened."

"Looking around, those who can save all countries are the only ones who can protect them..."

"No, no, no," Sun Xiurong quickly waved his hand, "According to your past practice, when the army of the cannibals arrives, it will take the initiative to surrender to them. At the beginning, the cannibals won't make things difficult for you to wait, right?"

"Or, please ask Gao Xianzhi, the governor of Anxi. Now he has captured the five countries of Shini and has a close relationship with the Bakhan country in the north. He himself has a guard city in Saijiashen City, the capital of the Gumi Kingdom. There are three thousand elite Tang troops. Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to find him?"

(There are five countries in total, and the Protective Kingdom is one of them. It is roughly located in the later Tajikistan to Dushanbe from the north to the Amu River and the south to the Amu River, Saigashen City, and the later Uzbekistan near Termez, the north bank of the Amu River in Uzbekistan)

Sun Xiurong said another thing. Since Gao Xianzhi defeated the Big and Big Bolu, his confidence has naturally increased greatly. He took advantage of the opportunity of civil strife of the Great Cannibal to regain the vast land on the north bank of the upper reaches of the Amu River from them and completely expelled the Great Cannibal from the north bank of the Amu River.

In the later battle of Talas, the reason why Bingbo Silin was able to quickly gather a large army to fight north was because they just quelled the uprising of the countries in Hezhong, and the army had not yet been dissolved.

When he heard Sun Xiurong's words, Steyran's expression on Burma was a little complicated, and after a while, he said: "Major Protector, you are not unaware of Gao Xianzhi. In terms of military strategy, he is definitely a general with both wisdom and courage, but in terms of governance..."

Sun Xiurong naturally knew what he wanted to say. Since Gao Xianzhi became the governor of Anxi, he defeated Dabolu, recaptured the five countries of Zhimi, and expanded the territory for the Tang Dynasty for thousands of miles. The things he lost from Sun Xiurong were almost in Dabolu, and Shimi had obtained the five countries of Zhimi, and even tied the Bakhan country, which was sandwiched between Dashi and Datang, to the chariot of the Tang Dynasty.

The merits are no different at once.

However, this person's greed is far above that of Gai Jiayun and Meng Lingcha. At present, the Zhaowu countries have garrisons because of Anguo and Kang Kingdom. The remaining Shi Kingdoms, Shi Kingdoms, and Bahanna Kingdoms have become his forbidden body. In addition, the five countries, the Big and Big Bolu have become the targets of his repeated exploitation.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the second princess of Shi Kingdom Jin Si Kaiya, who was famous outside, had already married, Gao Xianzhi might have destroyed the country like in history, and gained all her wealth and beauty, so that Shi Kingdom could completely lead to the great cannibalism, which led to the Battle of Talas.

Of course, Talas is an important town under the Beiting Protectorate, so this problem does not exist. However, the Gao Xianzhi Sutra can also conquer the Shi Kingdom.

Steylenman continued: "So, we have to come and ask for the Protectorate."

Sun Xiurong said: "Well, you might as well talk about it. The Great Cannibal Newly established. According to the news I have received, the Governor General of Khurashan has gathered almost half of the military power of the entire Great Cannibal Kingdom. In addition to the 30,000 elite troops who suppressed the rebellion, there are nearly 100,000 elite troops in Mulu City, Tocharo."

"Stay Ranming, you also know that at present, the regular army of my Great Protectorate is only 30,000 to 40,000, plus the government soldiers, up to 50,000 or 60,000, and you have to protect the vast territory. You can only send half of it, that is, at most 30,000. Once the Great Protector loses these 30,000, the Great Protectorate will be in danger."

This is the condition to negotiate. For Sun Xiurong, it was necessary to suppress the aggressive and religiously crazi cannibals south of the Wuhu River. This is also the reason why the Zoroastrians used him as the "Emunique of Light". In the past, the east and west were floating thousands of miles apart, but now they are back in the Western Regions, so they cannot use other reasons to make excuses.

This is open, and in private, in his own planning, he must try his best to defeat the cannibalism, otherwise his plan will not be able to be implemented safely.

He was dormant in Suyezhou, Tingzhou for three years, raising his energy and strength, just for the arrival of this day. Unexpectedly, the changes in the countries in the river provided him with an entrance.

"Ahem," said Stellanmé, "If the Protector can save me, it is equivalent to water and fire, after the matter is completed, our countries can provide a certain amount of silver or food to the Protectorate every year."

This is the tribute. Steyranman also knew that unlike their surrender to the Tang Dynasty, the unpredictable "majority" in front of him valued more real benefits. He looked down on those "tributors" who were stupid and "faced saints".

But this still did not impress Sun Xiurong.

Both sides fell into silence.

Finally, Sun Xiurong said: "You have also seen Bendu Protector in the current state of Yezhou and Tingzhou. My conditions are also very simple. In order to facilitate your resistance against the cannibals, I will form a camp in Shiguo, Kangguo and Huoxun Kingdom to directly obey Bendu Protector's orders, and the camp will be settled locally and self-sufficient."

Steyranmian felt a stern and thought to himself: "Isn't this just annexing the countries of our country? In that case, it would be better to join the Great Food Kingdom. However, after Ge Shuhai joined Suyezhou, except for the missing three thousand herders, the rest was still under his jurisdiction. He closed the door and still called himself a great khan..."

As a result, the two sides were in a deadlock.

......

Three days later, Stay Ranmian and others finally couldn't help it, and finally the two sides reached the following agreement:

First, since half of the Shi Kingdom, that is, the place centered on Nasebo City, which was completely occupied by the Great Cannibals, was killed by the original Great Cannibals. Now there is no leader, and the Great Cannibals and Sogdians are both frightened and uneasy. Steyranmyn agreed to settle in by the Shaye Army, contact and coordinate the affairs of the nobles, merchants and farmers.

We will coordinate the allocation of 150,000 mu of fertile land to Saiyejun. Every year, Shi Guo will coordinate with merchants and the nobles will provide a certain amount of money and materials for Saiyejun to use.

Secondly, the Sebo is only two hundred miles away from Abumi City (Bukhara). Once the Sebo army settled in the Sebo, it will definitely cause huge waves in the Great Food Army and can indirectly support Sherik.

Third, if the Dashi army eventually retreated south of the Wuhu River, Sherik would control the Dong'an Kingdom (Duwan later generations auspicious day), and Ye Jie restored the position of King of Anguo and controlled the Abumi City (Bukhara).
