As Cui Dutian got on the train together, Chen Xiliang couldn't stop watching everywhere until he sat down and watched for a long time.

Sitting in the seat, Cui Dutian stretched and said, "I have been traveling on the road for ten days. I can take a train to Hezhou. After a while, I asked someone to bring a copper pot. It was hot. We ate the pork shabu. Mimei drank a few sips of wine, and then saw if there were any songs on the train. I called them over and sang a few small songs. Along the way, we ate the pork shabu, listened to the songs, and took the train to Shengzhou."

Chen Xiliang looked out the window and said to Cui Dutian: "So this is the train! Many cars, connected together, are really running on the railway. However, this car does not require cattle and horses, so how can we move forward?"

"Burn coal! There is so much coal in this area, it would be a pity to run the train if you don't burn it!"

Cui Dutian said while recruiting personal soldiers to come over, asking them to prepare a copper pot, and then make some good mutton, and drink with Chen Xiliang.

After a while, the personal soldiers brought a copper shabu shabu, placed it on the table, lit the charcoal fire, and then placed the oil dishes and several side dishes on the table, and went back to get the wine. They ordered them to pour it on, Cui Dutian said to Chen Xiliang: "Thank you all the way, drink a glass of wine."

After drinking, Cui Dutian said, "In the carriage behind, the envoy of King Khan of Beiting, your opponent. Along the way, I didn't ask you what happened. Now there is nothing wrong. The envoys tell me what? Why did one Gaochang State have two groups of envoys? Or the opponent."

At this moment, Qin Xianpeng walked over from the back carriage and saw the meat and vegetables on the table. He said happily: "I knew that you must have good wine and good meat here! The road is long and there is nothing to do. We brothers drink a glass of wine and talk."

Cui Dutian asked Qin Xianpeng to sit down and said to him: "It's time for you to come. I was asking this envoy what happened to the envoy of the Northern Khan who came behind? I haven't seen the envoys come for a few months, and when they come, they have two groups of people, and they still don't deal with each other."

Qin Xianpeng smiled and said, "I heard from the envoys over there that this dynasty defeated Khitan, and King Khan of Beiting would send envoys to celebrate. However, he had to pass Yizhou on the way, and the soldiers and generals of Yizhou stopped him and refused to pass, so he continued to delay until this time."

Chen Xiliang couldn't help but blush when he heard this: "How can this guy talk nonsense? It was obvious that they regarded the Khitan as the truth and refused to send envoys to surrender to the Supreme Kingdom. I heard that we sent envoys, so I hurriedly followed behind!"

Cui Dutian said: "There is no news from the Western Regions. We don't know what the situation is. Please tell me in detail. Don't escort you to Shengzhou. When Jishuo asked, we couldn't answer a word, but it would be embarrassing."

Chen Xiliang was about to answer when a whistle suddenly sounded, which scared his face so much that he was stunned.

Cui Dutian said: "Don't panic, this is to honk the whistle before the train drives, so that the idle people can avoid it. When the whistle rings, the train will be about to drive."

When he spoke, he heard the sound of walking and eating. He became louder and louder, and the train slowly moved forward. Chen Xiliang woke up and looked out the window, surprised, and said, "It turns out that this car is driving like this. I just don't know how to drive it."

He kept looking out the window until he left the station and was covered with yellow sand and weeds. Chen Xiliang turned around.

Cui Dutian said: "The water in the pot is boiling, add meat and add meat. We eat meat while drinking."

After eating meat for a while and drinking for three rounds, Cui Dutian said to Chen Xiliang: "Entertain, what happened to Gaochang? Tell us what happened? You have to go to Shengzhou tomorrow. If the road is boring, just pass the time."

Chen Xiliang explained his thoughts and said, "Our Yizhou started from the Han Dynasty and was connected with the Central Plains. By the Sui Dynasty, the emperor of the Central Plains re-established Yiwu County and returned to the rule of the Celestial Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, it was Yizhou, and the imperial court sent troops and horses. Later, the Central Plains were wars and the prefectures were owned by Tubo. Later, Zhang Linggong, the Guiyi Army, led the army and civilians to rise up and drove away Tubo. The Uighurs came west and occupied Beiting, gradually grew stronger. Yizhou was defeated and had to be regarded as the main. Although Yizhou had to be dominated by King Khan of Beiting and below the city lord, they were all Tang soldiers and generals of the Tang Dynasty in the old days, and were not comparable to other places. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the Taiwei envoy Gaochang, who had once passed by Yizhou, was treated very well by the city lord."

Cui Dutian nodded: "So, you were old soldiers in Yizhou during the Tang Dynasty. Although you were trapped in Tubo and later attached to the Guiyi Army, the leader continued to inherit the inheritance until he was suppressed by the Uighurs. Since you have surrendered to the Uighurs, why should you send envoys to yourself this time?"

Chen Xiliang bowed: "The general doesn't know that Yizhou has to be the main force of Beiting, but the soldiers, civilians and the people are eager toward the Central Plains. In recent years, the Black Khan fought with the King of Beiting. A few months ago, the King of Beiting was defeated and lost the Moman and Kucha in the west and retreated to Yanqi. The defeat in the west, the King of Beiting wanted to force the troops of Yizhou, but the city lord refused. It had nothing to do with King of Beiting, and Yizhou became independent."

Cui Dutian and Qin Xianpeng looked at each other, and said nothing more, "Come on, drink, drink, let's talk while drinking."

After the Uighurs ruled Gaochang, they regarded Gaochang City as the capital of the Dongguan and Beiting as the Xia capital. Because they started in Beiting, they were also called King Beiting. Their honor was Asilan, and they were also called Asilan Mountain, which was the Lion King. The Black Khan King was King Kara Khan, and Kara meant the Chinese word Hei. The Black Khan King was also the Lion King, which was the honorary title commonly used by many surrounding forces. The forces in the Western Regions generally called the ruler of Gaochang as King Beiting, which was opposite to the Black Khan King.

The population of these forces is different and has its own origins.

The Uighurs were originally nomadic powers that emerged in the northern part of the Mo River after the Turks. After the collapse of the late Tang Dynasty, they moved west along the Hexi Corridor. There were many forces such as Liangzhou Uighurs, Ganzhou Uighurs, Huangtou Uighurs, Xizhou Uighurs and many other forces. The Uighurs in Hexi were all destroyed by Dangxiang, and now only the Yellow-headed Uighurs in the mountains and Xizhou Uighurs in the Xizhou Uighurs in the mountains are left.

Hei Khan was the remaining part of the Turks, the overlord of the former grassland of the Uighurs. After believing in a certain religion, he slowly formed a large force.

Yizhou is the eastern gate of the Western Regions. It was the main area where the immigrated to the border during the Han and Tang dynasties. There were many Han people. The late Tang and Five Dynasties were isolated from the Central Plains, and they formed Yizhou people with a relatively sense of identity from the local natives, the Sogdians, the Turks and some Uighurs. Their power of the throne always claimed that they were descendants of the former ward of the Tang Dynasty, and used this as a call to get support from the local people. Of course, there was no need to be investigated in fact. The last few generals and officials in Yizhou in the Tang Dynasty were not named Chen.

Khotan is mainly native, with Han people and other Fanhus. It is the only one among the major forces that is mainly native inhabitants. After Khotan was destroyed by Hei Khan, there are actually no local forces in the Western Regions now, and relatively speaking, the local color of Yizhou is stronger.

The most powerful Uighurs in Xizhou and the Black Khanate wars continued and have lasted for over a hundred years. In the past, the Uighurs in Xizhou, that is, the Khan of Beiting gained the upper hand in the war. In the past one or two years, the strength and weakness have changed, and the Khan of the Black Khan began to gain the upper hand. In the west of the Uighurs in Xizhou, the war surrounding Kucha has lasted for several years. This year, the Khan of Beiting gained an absolute advantage. The Khan of Beiting gave up Kucha and retreated to Yanqi.

Taking advantage of the weak Khan of the Northern Ting Dynasty, Yizhou became independent again and no longer surrendered to King Beiting, and became an independent force. This matter had nothing to do with the Song army coming to the west, but Zhao Ziz had just caught up with Heishui City. The reason why he did not send envoys in front was because Yizhou was afraid that the Song army of Heishui City would take advantage of the situation and wanted to take the big banner of King Beiting to be brave. A few months later, the Song army had no intention of advancing west and was not convenient for fighting in winter, so he hurriedly sent envoys to Shengzhou.

King Khan of Beiting had already surrendered to the Khitan, and there was another Yizhou on the way to the east. The Song army was still far away and had no intention of sending envoys. It was not until he heard that the envoys of Yizhou set out that he hurriedly sent people, fearing that Yizhou would lead the Song army into Gaochang.

There is no need to fully understand such a complicated matter, intermediate officers like Cui Dutian and Qin Xianpeng, as it is probably enough to know. I don’t know how many forces there are in the Western Regions, and there are countries in the country and cities in the city. Which one can be clear about? They don’t have this need and don’t have the patience.

When Cui Dutian heard that Yizhou was only independent from the power of King Khan of Beiting this year, he was very suspicious of the Song army coming from the west, so there was no need to listen to the following ones. If you have anything to say, it would be useless to talk to Du Zhongxiao from Shengzhou. Anyway, I don’t know the truth or falsehood, so it’s better to listen to the song than to listen to these.

After drinking a few rounds of wine, Cui Dutian ordered to find a song singer and listen to the song leisurely with Qin Xianpeng. At night, the two of them rested, waiting for tomorrow to arrive in Shengzhou.
