In the Jialuguan camp, Zhang Zhao was silent while holding the Tang Jianzhong copper coin in his hand.
The second year of Jianzhong should be around 783 in history. Zhang Zhao can’t remember exactly which year it was.
Twenty-five years after these coins were minted in the second year of Jianzhong, Tubo captured Qiuci.
The whereabouts of Duke Guo Xingong, the protector of Anxi and Prince of Wuwei County, are unknown since then, and together with the last tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Anxi, they seem to have suddenly disappeared.
The appearance of this coin can be said to have greatly encouraged Zhang Zhao, because it means that there are descendants of the Anxi soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in Shule.
Moreover, they still remember the Tang Dynasty and know the meaning of this coin, so those with such inheritance cannot exist alone. They must still have a tribe, and their number cannot be hundreds of people.
"Fanshun! The task of entering Shule again can only be entrusted to you, but this trip is quite dangerous, so you must be fully prepared!"
Who to send? This is a question, because it is very dangerous to enter Shule City again and contact the descendants of the Anxi Tang Army who can only be determined with a high probability.
Who knows if this is a trap? Although the probability is very small.
Moreover, after entering Shule City, it is more difficult to convey information to the outside world. As the war approaches, Shule's city defense will only become tighter day by day.
Fanshun, besides Ma Yaozi, is the person in Zhang Zhao's team who has the strongest adaptability, the quickest brain, and the most loyal to him.
The rest of the people are either not intelligent enough, like Dundup and Man Xiong, or their loyalty is not very stable, like Qiongre Duojin and Bai Congxin.
"Don't worry, Mr. Erlang! I will definitely be careful. Now that there is news about the descendants of the Anxi Army, I, Fanshun, will have to go to the dragon's den and the tiger's den!
If anything unexpected happens, please Erlangjun inform my brother and ask him to marry more wives, have more children, and choose a smarter one for me to adopt."
Zhang Zhao nodded heavily, then patted Fanshun on the shoulder.
In Shule City, Ma Yaozi is still eating and drinking like crazy, and he looks drunk every day, so much so that in Shule City and Gaochang people these days, they have almost become synonymous with drunkards.
Moreover, he likes to cause trouble after drinking. He fights with small officers in the post house, fights with diners in food and wine shops, and even fights with so-called warriors who don't know where they come from on the street. The whole Shule City knows about it.
This deputy envoy is a reckless man.
After a bowl of peach wine, Ma Yaozi let out a long breath of alcohol. Next to him, a bearded Geluolu man was walking away quickly.
"Silly beep!" Ma Yaozi muttered lightly with contempt. This word with a somewhat weird pronunciation has become his favorite. When expressing contempt, he always thinks of this word first.
In his opinion, the Geluolu man just now was just a standard idiot. He thought he had drunk too much and was trying to trick him.
Wealth and silk are so exciting! Three thousand guan! Whoever can grab it will be free for the rest of his life. No matter what you do, there are many people who are willing to give it a try.
However, when spreading the news around, Ma Yaozi made other gains. In the past three days, he received at least ten various hints.
There should be fishermen sent by Ittihad, the governor of Shule, as well as hidden Buddhists, Manichaeans, and even Nestorians, but there are none like restaurant owners who can have anything to do with the Tang Dynasty.
!
Wu Yuan'er walked out of the Governor's Mansion for the second time, and he was about to complete Zhang Zhao's arrangement, and Ittihad actually agreed to his request.
Of course, it was not to release him, but to allow him to go to the prison where the monks of Dayun Temple were detained to see if there was anyone Pugu Fengendagan was looking for.
When Wu Yuan'er left, Shule Governor Ittihad also recruited his most trusted generals.
After killing two good horses in the past four days, he received a relatively certain news that noble people from the east had indeed appeared in the Jiashi area.
Combining the gaffe of the drunkard deputy envoy and the few words extracted from the official history, Ittihad confirmed that even if Pugu Feng'en was not there, there must be one of his cronies who brought three thousand gu of property to Kara.
Khanate.
"General Hassan, I order you to lead a hundred cavalry to Jiashi quickly and continue to increase the search efforts.
I believe that because of the news spread by that reckless deputy envoy, many people must have known about the Gaochang Uighurs who brought property worth three thousand guans around Jiashi City.
You must find these Gaochang people before them, and these properties should serve the great Bugra Khan and spread the will of Allah."
General Hassan nodded, "But what about those Gaochang people? Kill them?"
"No! No!" Ittihad shook the index finger of his right hand, "We cannot fight against the Jin people and at the same time fight against the Gaochang Uighurs!
You bring a few unimportant monks from the city and tell them that these are the monks from Dayun Temple. If they send them away, the property will naturally belong to us."
Hassan nodded in agreement. As for the three thousand guan of property, according to the rules at this time, he, Hassan, could get no more than 30% of the reward, which would be at least 700 to 800 guan.
It is said that the Great Khan's army is about to capture it, eh! It should not be called the recovery of Balasagon. By then, there will definitely be a large number of high-quality female slaves on the market.
Your Excellency the Governor is a devout man who doesn’t like fine wine or beautiful women, but he, Hassan, likes them!
"No! No way!"
Hassan was still enjoying his fantasy. Ittihad suddenly shook his head, and Hassan felt nervous. Could it be that the Governor did not agree to rob Gaochang people again?
"If you give it to a few monks casually, it will still offend the people of Gaochang. You have to give it to someone who is more important, but not that important, to stop their mouths!"
Hassan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Governor did not regret it. He thought for a moment.
"Your Excellency, Governor, I have an idea. Didn't the old monk from Dayun Temple always refuse to tell you where the treasure house of the Shule pagans is?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
How about we let the Gaochang envoy take away his most important disciple? I always feel that the Gaochang people also know this secret?"
Ittihad's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Hassan, what do you mean to say, this Pugu Fengen did not want to use three thousand strings to redeem people, but through what channels did he know the secret of the Dayun Temple treasure like us?
It must be like this! The calculation is really good. It not only pleases the Buddhists in Gaochang, but also gets the treasure."
Ittihad muttered to himself, why after destroying Dayun Temple, why did he only imprison the monks of Dayun Temple for more than three years instead of killing them? It was because he had removed all the monks from Dayun Temple.
Only less than one thousand guan of property was found.
You must know that Buddhist monks have always had a habit of gathering property. Dayun Temple has stood in Shule for more than 200 years and has always been the holy land of Buddha in Anxi. It covers an area of thousands of acres and has at most thousands of monks.<
/p>
The Han monk of Dayun Temple was also the monk leader of the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Empire. He was in charge of the affairs of the pagan monks in the four towns of Anxi. How could it be possible that he only had a mere 1,000 gu of property?
Moreover, there is no trace of the legendary and extremely precious pagan Buddha relics and Buddhist bowls. They must have been hidden in advance.
But the old monk Daozhen and his disciples were coerced, lured, and tortured countless times, but they refused to reveal the location of the Dayun Temple treasure.
Seeing the health of these monks deteriorating day by day, Ittihad felt anxious. If these monks died, he would never find the pagan treasures.
"Yes! This governor can release Hui Xing, a disciple of the old monk Daozhen. Those heretics hate us deeply. Once Hui Xing escapes from trouble, he will most likely tell this secret to Pugu Feng'en, who is also a heretic.
But this treasure cannot be moved away casually. As long as we keep a close watch, we can catch the Gaochang people when they take out the treasure!"
