Chapter 379 Datang Dad
"Master, these are all Xiao Bolu people we ran into on the road. In order to prevent the army from leaking their whereabouts, they brought them back."
In the evening, when He Dali came back, he also captured more than a dozen Xiao Bolu people, all of which were herders he met when he led Cheng Qianli and the others to hide in the mountains.
Lianyun Fort is located in Gushan, and its supply is entirely supplied by Dazhai twenty miles south of the city. The Tubo army located near Dazhai in the valley is naturally sandwiched between the meadows and river beaches between the mountains. The water and grass are abundant. Many Xiaobolu tribes grazed cattle and sheep in the middle of the city. They needed to pay cattle and sheep food to the Tubo people, but in fact they were under the rule of the Tubo people.
At this time, more than a dozen young Bolu people were kneeling on the ground. Most of them looked horrified. Only two older men were full of joy. "Do you dare to ask if the Langjun is a general of the Tang Dynasty?"
Chen Guang was stunned when he heard a little stiff, but could still hear Chinese clearly, and then looked at the old man who was about fifty years old. He saw that this old man was not as old as an ordinary herder, but he could see that he was once a wealthy person who was once pampered.
"Who is my father-in-law? How can I understand my Tang Dynasty language?"
"The Tang Fruit is my father's country. Finally, I sent troops to rescue our Xiaobolu people!"
When the old man heard Chen Guang admit that he was the King of Tang Dynasty, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He talked to himself and spoke to the herdsmen around him in local dialect. Then Chen Guang, Cen Shen and Li Siye and others saw that these Xiao Bolu people who were originally very afraid and frightened showed a look of surprise on their faces. Then he kowtowed, and Aye's voice could be vaguely heard in the local dialect he spoke.
Chen Guang suddenly remembered that before he went to the expedition of Xiaobolu, he had heard Feng Changqing say that before Xiaobolu surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Xiaobolu was a son country closer to the Tang Dynasty than the vassal states. The so-called son country means that Xiaobolu regarded the Tang Dynasty as his father.
In the early years of Kaiyuan, King Xiaobolu was not busy to go to Chang'an to pay tribute. Because he was brave and admired the style of the Tang Dynasty, he seemed very loyal and cautious. Therefore, he was favored by the saints and regarded him as a fake, and Wuyuan was also proud of it. After returning to Xiaobolu, he even asked the Tang Dynasty to garrison the Tang Dynasty, and the saints set up the Suiyuan Army in Xiaobolu.
At that time, the countries around Bolu directly regarded Xiaobolu as the territory of the Tang Dynasty. In other words, Xiaobolu was different from other vassal states at that time? That was because he really regarded the Tang Dynasty as his father.
Xiao Bolu was at the critical point? Is it the key to Tubo's involvement in the Western Regions? When Bolu was still a Bolu Kingdom, the Tubo people sent troops to fight Bolu Kingdom and divided it into two parts. After Xiao Bolu founded the country, he was often invaded by Tubo? Until he quickly recognized the Tang Dynasty as his father.
In the tenth year of Kaiyuan, Tubo suddenly sent troops to attack Xiaobolu? He seized nine cities, but Wujing was busy and naturally cried to the Tang father. Then Li Longji, who was furious, asked the Beiting Protectorate's Office to send troops to rescue him? Then, the Beiting Protector Zhang Xiaosong sent 4,000 elite troops to Xiaobolu to defeat Tubo? Kill tens of thousands of Tubo troops? Recapturing the nine cities was still the Xiaobolu.
After this war? Tubo did not dare to invade the border of Xiaobolu for many years? Since then, the three generations of Xiaobolu kings have been loyal to the Tang Dynasty? Even the people of Xiaobolu regarded themselves as Tang people among the surrounding countries. It was not until the 24th year of Kaiyuan that Tubo sent troops to attack Xiaobolu again, but at this time, the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo had begun in full swing, and the war in Longyou Hexi was fierce, so the Tang Dynasty had no spare energy to rescue Xiaobolu.
But although Tubo defeated Xiaobolu? But all the nobles and people in Xiaobolu were close to the Tang Dynasty? They regarded Tubo as a hater? It was not until the 28th year of Kaiyuan that Chide Zuzan defeated his sister Chimalu and King Su of Xiaobolu. He barely won over Xiaobolu in the name of marriage and made him a vassal state of Tubo.
It was this marriage that really angered Li Longji? Xiao Bolu was a small country. The Tang Dynasty was unable to rescue and annexed it to Tubo. He could accept it. However, Xiao Bolu married the Tubo princess and publicly surrendered to Tubo, which made him lose face. You must know that Xiao Bolu and the Tang Dynasty were well-known father-son countries. This was also the reason why he asked the Anxi Army to expedition Xiao Bolu four times.
After thinking through these joints, Chen Guang's eyes looked at these Xiaobolu people much more relaxed. It seemed that Xiaobolu people still regarded the Tang Dynasty as the sect leader. The old man in front of him might have been to Chang'an. He said, "I am Chen Guang, the commander of the Suoye Guardian under the command of the Anxi Grand Duke of the Tang Dynasty. This time, the Grand Duke of the Grand Duke of the Tang Dynasty led a large army to attack the Tubo traitors and help Xiaobolu restore the country. You all get up!"
Hearing Chen Guang's words, the old man became happier. Since the Tubo people occupied Xiaobolu, the gentry in these places can be said to be looking west for the king's army year after year, hoping that the Tang Dynasty father would come to rescue them from the fire and water. However, there was only one bad news over the years. The Tang Dynasty father organized three expeditions and returned halfway, which once became a laughing stock among the Tubo people, and also made them, the older generation who were pro-Tang, desperate.
But now the Tang Dynasty father is really here, and the old man couldn't help but burst into tears. He thought that he had followed the great leader Chazhuo Nasmo to go to Chang'an to pay tribute. It was also where he saw the majesty of the nations coming to Chang'an and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. He learned Tang Yan, and after returning to the middle school, he became the leader of Lianyun Castle.
I think he was living a wealthy life, with fertile fields and herds of cattle and sheep, and was loved by the people of the lower tribes. However, since the Tubo people came, they were unreasonable and imposed heavy taxes. Over the past ten years, even he had to grazle cattle and sheep with his subordinates, and had to deal with the various unreasonable demands of the Tubo people. That was simply not a life for humans.
Thinking of the bitterness, the old man cried even more and more sadly. When he cried, the other Xiao Bolu people also started crying. Thinking that the Tubo people not only robbed their cattle and sheep, but also whipped them at every turn, but also humiliated their wives and daughters. No one was sad.
For a moment, when Chen Guang and the generals around him didn't know what to say. When Chen Guang asked the whole story, the generals heard the man crying and crying with tears and snot, they shook their heads and said nothing.
Although these little Bolu people are pitiful, in the eyes of Shen Guang and others, they are both pitiful and miserable, and angry that they are not fighting.
"If these Tubo people humiliate you so much, will you not want to resist?"
Among all, Cen Shen couldn't help asking the old man who claimed to have paid tribute in Chang'an.
"Mr., why haven't we resisted, but we really can't beat the Tubo thieves. Moreover, they are cruel. If one person resists, the whole family will die and will be peeled off. What's more, even the king surrenders the Tubo thieves. What can we do?"
The old man explained in panic, which made Li Siye and others look slightly calmer. Tubo is a powerful country in the world and is only weaker than the Tang Dynasty. It is a natural thing for these small countries to be unable to defeat the Tubo thieves.
"You all get up. Now that the king's army has arrived, you will not let you fall into dire straits. You will stay in the fort for two days. When the king's army defeats the Tubo traitors, they will let you go home."
Chen Guang thought for a while and said, he did not expect that the Tubo people were so unpopular in Xiaobolu. However, to be on the safe side, it would be better to temporarily detain these Xiaobolu people who were in the fortress, who were in the process of Qianli.
"General, no, if we cannot return home, our tribe members will be worried and will inevitably go to the Tubo thieves to ask tomorrow. I am afraid that the general will be missed by the time."
The old man had been the leader after all. He really hoped that the Tang Dynasty father could kill all the evil Tubo thieves, so he quickly spoke without caring about whether it would cause suspicion.
