Chapter 222 The general has gray hair, and the old soldier becomes an orphan!
At this moment, Lin Yan had his head half lowered.
That is the festival of the Tang Dynasty.
It's also the season of summer...
Some things have been passed down and will not change.
The belief of a small person is the confidence of a big country.
Lin Yan looked at the records in the life and death book with a rare moving expression...
At this moment, countless souls are floating in the sky, densely packed.
At the foot is the scene of more than a thousand years ago that keeps changing with the reading of the book of life and death.
From the Western Regions to Chang'an.
From princes and generals, to border guards...
As for Lin Yan, holding the book of life and death, his eyes still fell on his feet, and on the small town, he quietly opened his mouth...
"It wasn't until the year 781 that the envoys sent by Guo Xin and Li Yuanzhong returned to Chang'an. Twenty years after Datang voluntarily gave up the Western Regions, Datang knew that there were still such a group of children who stood firm for her in the Western Regions. , From the green youth to the full head of gray hair.
"And old Tang pawns like them... run through the five thousand years of Daxia's history. Daxia, always loved by her insignificant little people, is well protected.
Then, the scenery under Lin Yan's feet changed again...
There seems to be a messenger coming to the Western Regions from Chang'an City.
A lot of people like refugees, all ran out from the broken house and cave.
Lin Yan glanced at the life and death book, and his expression was a little sad.
"In the first year of Jianzhong, Wei Lun, who was the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, was on his way back to his hometown with the Tubo alliance, and passed through the Helong area. The local people heard that the envoy from the motherland was coming, and they came to pay their respects!"5
"They are all hairy and furred, peeping at the gaps in the walls, or beating their hearts and weeping, or worshipping and dancing in the east, and secretly communicating with Zhangshu, saying that the truth of the fan is false, and I hope that the master of the king is old... Even in his early years, he went on an expedition with the master of Wang 327. , The old man, who was scattered here, pulled the Tang envoy and said, "Ask the emperor if he is okay? Today, the descendants have not forgotten the Tang clothing, and the court still remembers it."
"5
At this moment, Zhang Xinyi's hand holding the phone was trembling.
She suddenly realized that she had shed tears again without knowing it.
It was so...
Daxia people's feelings for Daxia, I don't know, were there 80 years ago.
Eighty years ago, there were countless people from Daxia who were willing to die in battle, vowing not to be slaves to the subjugation of the country, every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of blood...
And more than a thousand years ago, there were also old Tang soldiers, with gray hair all over the city... Ask the emperor if he is safe? Today, the descendants have not forgotten the Tang clothing, and the court still remembers it...
At this moment, the scene under Lin Yan's feet changed again.
Lin Yan finally turned the book of life and death to a person's life.
In the book of life and death, his name is recorded - Zhang Yichao.
That's when the white-haired veterans stick to the lonely city!!!
A baby was born in Shazhou within Yumen Pass, and his father named him Zhang Yichao.
At the same time, Li Shimin glanced at the life and death book in Lin Yan's hand and took a deep breath.
At this moment, the red soul in the sky is a little different from before.
Whether he can awaken the red souls of the more than 30,000 Tang veterans except Jiang's soul, depends on this time.
Among the more than 30,000 Tang souls, there are the Xuanjia Army who followed him back then, and the war souls who fought against the Turks back then, and the rest... are these old Tang soldiers!!!
And Zhang Yichao...is the key to awakening these Great Tang veterans.
Li Shimin still remembered that when he first encountered Zhang Yichao's spirit, the battle spirit knelt in front of him excitedly.
Obviously a dead person, but smiling like a New Year's child.
Li Shimin stared at his feet, in Shazhou City, the courtyard of Zhang's family, and opened his mouth faintly.
"When Zhang Yichao met me, he told me about his life and said that the Zhang family he came from was a local noble family."5
"I actually don't like these famous families..."
"But I have to admit... In the Han and Tang dynasties, anything you want to do anywhere must be supported by the wealthy. If the local snake says no, then it really won't work.
"And the interests of the wealthy family are deeply bound to the local area... The Han and Tang Dynasties were very powerful in expanding their territory, and the big reason was that the land wealthy family had a very strong cohesion.
"When foreign enemies invade, they are also the backbone of resistance. No matter how bad it is, they can be like the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The wealthy family builds Wubao to shelter the local people and refugees."
"The Zhang family played such a role in Shazhou back then. The family has a huge power, and the family members have a high quality of self-cultivation. They are very suitable for officials and major events. The other local noble families are similar.
"But after the Tubos occupied the Hexi Corridor, they didn't understand cooperation at all. They found that the wealth of the Silk Road had plummeted, and they didn't find a way to clear the trade routes, nor did they win over the local nobles. They only knew how to loot and kill people."
"Simple and rude, a bunch of idiots... very Tibetan."
'Not only ordinary people, but also the wealthy family are often robbed, and all the people of Daxia live in dire straits. 35
"Zhang Yichao told me back then... that the Tibetan troops would capture young and strong Daxia people as slaves, cut off the hands and feet of the old people and throw them on the side of the road. Babies are used to kill for fun."
Li Shimin's voice paused.
Because he saw, in the scene where the life and death book under his feet was revealed...
Zhang Yichao is growing up rapidly...
And Zhang Yichao, who has just reached the crown of the year, is now looking at a hilltop...
In the distance are the Daxia people who were kidnapped by the Tibetans and went south...
(bedg)
And when they came to the edge of a cliff, those Daxia suddenly knelt down to the east and said goodbye to their homeland, the Tang Dynasty. Some people cried and fainted on the side of the road, while others would rather jump off the cliff to die.
Zhang Yichao on the top of the mountain clenched his fists.
Li Shimin in the sky also clenched his fists.
This is the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions
How similar to the big summer of that year...
And at the same time.
Zhang Yichao in the world of Life and Death is also growing up rapidly...
At the same time, Lin Yan and the others called, and there was a scene that shocked everyone...
The book of life and death records that your year is the second year of Xuanzong's high school in the Tang Dynasty, and it has been 67 years since the last stronghold of the Tang Empire's Hexi Corridor, Shazhou, was captured by Tubo. The crown of the Han Dynasty has changed, the local accents are mixed, and the children of that time have long since become ashes.
October time!
As the fruit ripened, the number of Han people who went to Shazhou City suddenly increased. The Tibetans who were routinely guarding them turned a blind eye to these changes, and only closed the city gates and returned to the camp for a while. That night, under the quiet starry sky in Shazhou City, there was unease.
The sky turned white, and a group of scholars in heavy armor quickly gathered towards the south gate. The Tubo soldiers who were vigilant at this time realized that the situation was not right, and greeted the leading torches. As the lights flickered, long arrows shot from the darkness, and the Tibetan troops at the head of the city fell one after another.
The general who was shot through by an arrow could see clearly before he died, and the one who shot the arrow was the noble family of Zhang's family in the sandbar where he often enjoyed his wine... Zhang Yichao, but the "Tang people are reversed" in his mouth has already shouted not come out.
Zhang Yichao, who was dressed in a sturdy and sharp-eyed command, slaughtered the Fan army at the city gate, and when he climbed the city tower, he raised his arms, and a large number of Daxia people gathered under the city gate, and then shouted everywhere.
Along with the signal, thousands of fire lights appeared in the darkness, followed by the screams of the Tubo soldiers in Shazhou City one after another.
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment.
In this scene, he just heard Zhang Yichao say it.
But such a scene.
It was also the first time he saw him directly.
"When Zhang Yichao told me the scene when they recaptured the sandbar, he was very excited... so it was!
"In the former Tang Dynasty, after many years of dismal management by Emperor Wuzong of Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty already had an image of rejuvenation, but at this time, the Tubo fell into civil strife because of the dispute over the throne of Zanpu.
"That's why he took this opportunity to retake the sandbar overnight, and the sandbar that had been sunk for sixty-seven years returned to the Tang Dynasty."
"Then... this guy, in order to obtain the support of the Tang Dynasty, immediately sent ten teams of messengers, holding ten copies of the same documents, to head towards Chang'an, the capital of Tang, from different directions.
"Back then, the Hexi Corridor was surrounded by the majestic Qilian Mountains to the south, the Yellow Sand Desert to the north, and the border of the Tang Dynasty to the east, which was blocked by Tubo. Those ten teams of messengers... I heard Zhang Yichao say that they have gone through hardships and dangers. Under all difficulties, Only one team from the north, through the vast desert, reached the Tiande army town."5
"Zhang Yichao said that the purpose of what he did back then was just to think..."
"Ten teams of envoys, carrying ten identical letterheads to Chang'an, as long as one team succeeds, it is enough to let the court know!"
"Hexi people are the same."
"Just like the Liaodong that was still taken away back then, there are still people in the forest sea and snowfield, dragging the elite of the Japanese slaves, shouting that the battle alliance will pass from now on, and the descendants will never stop..."
"The people of Daxia, no matter where they go, wherever they go, they remember where their home is..."
"The general has gray hair, and the old soldier has become an orphan. It is hard or not, but the descendants of the Tao have not been able to bear to forget Tang Fu! The heart is the same as before..."
