Chapter 198: Look at Chang'an for them
Murong Shun is the son of Murong Fuyun and Princess Guanghua of Sui.
During the one-year tribute, he was detained by Emperor Yang of Sui.
After the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Murong Shun took the opportunity to flee from Jiangdu to Chang'an.
It's just that the luck of this product is very bad, as soon as it escaped from the hands of Emperor Yang of Sui, it fell into the hands of Li Yuan.
Li Yuan took this in exchange and united with Murong Fuyun to attack Li Rail in Hexi.
After success, Li Yuan sent Murong Shun back to Tuyuhun.
But after this back and forth, his position as the crown prince has been passed on to others by Murong Fuyun.
And it's not just Murong Fuyun who didn't want to see him at first.
The entire Tuyuhun people seem to have a strong hostility towards him.
In this regard, Murong Shun acted as if he didn't know anything, and still didn't say anything.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
This product is actually just holding back.
Li Chengqian is not wrong at all.
The long period of repression made Murong Shun very eager for power.
His lust for power is on the verge of madness.
He just planned to take advantage of this opportunity to rely on Datang to ascend to the throne of Khan.
As for whether it will turn against Datang in the future, that is something that no one can guarantee.
It's just that he didn't expect that his plan was punctured by Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian said that it is okay to surrender, but the name of Tuyuhun cannot be there.
This and that?
The purpose of his surrender was to rely on the Tang Dynasty to ascend to the throne of Khan.
Tuyuhun is gone, where will he go to power?
If one plan doesn't work, then another one.
Murong Shun thought about it quite beautifully.
This man can go to war at this age.
Either they are the imperial relatives of the Tang Dynasty and go to the battlefield to accumulate merits.
Either the children or apprentices of the Datang coach.
But no matter which one it is, as long as he can be caught, he will have the capital to negotiate with the other party.
It's a pity that he chose the wrong person to start.
Before he could touch Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian's kick had already kicked him in the face.
In a small body, a huge amount of power erupted.
This kick made Murong Shun's mouth and nose bleed.
With this kick, Murong Shun lay on the ground and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
This year, on the eighth day of the fourth month, Li Chengqian stepped on Murong Shun's head, arrogantly defying the officials and people who were full of Tuguhun.
"Whoever dares to call a soldier will be beheaded ......"
……
With the Tuyuhun King City being breached.
Murong Fuyun's army in Heyuan City was completely alone.
After Li Tao captured a group of Tuyuhun kings and Sun Guizhou, Tuyuhun's demise had already entered the countdown.
However, three or five days later, without waiting for the Tang Dynasty army to arrive at Heyuan City, Tuyuhun rebelled.
Murong Fuyun, the Khan of Tuyuhun, was beheaded by his generals in the rebellion.
By the time Li Tao and Li Chengqian came to Heyuan City, the city gate had been opened, and the Tuyuhun soldiers fell to their knees.
The leader raised Fu Yun's head and surrendered to Datang!
At this point, the Tuyuhun royal court was completely destroyed.
The next thing to do is to clear the resistance forces of the Tuyuhun tribes.
And at this point in the war, there is nothing to say.
Duan Zhixuan and Li Tao led an army of 10,000 people and launched a crazy sweep on the northwest grassland.
……
The war between Tang and Tuyuhun lasted only two or three months from the beginning to the end.
However, Datang and today's world pattern have undergone earth-shaking changes.
First of all, the fall of Tuyuhun means a lot to Datang.
The first is the benefits.
After the fall of Tuyuhun, first of all, the people in the northwest of the former will no longer be troubled by the calamity.
You can live a peaceful life.
Secondly, after the Tang Dynasty annexed Tuyuhun, a total of two natural grasslands were added in China.
If you count the pastures that were previously annexed from the Northern Desert Turks, the current Tang Dynasty is fully capable of building several cavalry units on its own.
Moreover, after the destruction of Tuyuhun, the Tang Dynasty seized many cattle and horses and other livestock.
This has also significantly reduced the pressure on domestic demand for livestock.
Of course, with the pros, there are naturally the disadvantages.
Now that Tuyuhun has been destroyed, the western frontier of the Tang Dynasty officially borders the Western Turks.
The two major powers, one east and one west, one agriculture and one animal husbandry, have officially entered an era of competition with each other.
……
Towards the end of the Steppe War.
Li Chengqian greeted Li Tao and Duan Zhixuan, and led the team to return to Chang'an first.
Now that Datang has opened a waterway, it seems that it is not far away from the west, thousands of miles away.
However, in three or four days, the fleet ran through the entire Longyou Road and reached the Guannei Road.
Entering the Guannei Road, it is not far from Chang'an.
The originally barren scene has become more and more lively.
Hearing the noise outside, Li Chengqian walked out of the cabin.
When I went, the ice and snow were quietly gone, and when I returned to Chang'an, I saw the beautiful scenery of birds singing and flowers.
Although the first two expeditions with the army took a long time, Li Chengqian was just a formality.
Occasionally, I can have a little skin with Li Shimin to adjust my gloomy mood.
Although the expedition was short, it also made Li Chengqian truly realize the horror of war.
Especially when I saw the people I used to talk to die in front of my eyes one after another.
He couldn't tell what it was like.
But one thing is for sure.
After witnessing the bloody slaughter on the battlefield, his thoughts of ending this troubled world deepened.
"What do you think?"
Li Tingxue didn't know when she came behind him.
While helping him put on a small cloak, he chuckled: "After you go back, do you want to go to my sister's place for two days?" ”
"I'm not going."
Li Chengqian shook his head slightly and said, "I still have big things to do." ”
Li Tingxue pretended to be surprised, and said with a roll of her eyes: "Do you have to let me catch you back?" ”
Hearing this, Li Chengqian had to smile bitterly.
He looked back at the Liangzhou soldiers who he brought to Chang'an to see the capital, and glanced at the Zuo Yiwei and Qianzi Battalion who were not much left.
He shook his head slowly and sighed: "Before, I always felt that being a soldier was hard and tiring, so I secretly reduced the training volume of the Qianzi Battalion. ”
"Unexpectedly, this not only didn't make them good, but also hurt them......"
He will never forget the sight of those soldiers of the Qianzi battalion slaughtering one after another, and then being cut down by the enemy.
That scene, how can it be summed up in a tragic word?
In the end, he still blames himself.
If he had been strict with everyone in the camp from the beginning, he would have never reduced their training.
Will so many people die in the Qianzi Battalion?
The answer may seem hard to say, but it's easy to say.
One more drop of sweat on the training ground, one less drop of blood on the battlefield.
Li Chengqian didn't understand this truth before.
So he just wanted to make them loyal and patriotic.
This is completely because the 800 people in the Qianzi Battalion used their lives to tell Li Chengqian how stupid he was.
"Sister, sometimes, I really feel stupid to go home."
Li Chengqian looked at the looming Chang'an City in front of him.
He raised his hand and pointed at it, as if he was saying it to Li Tingxue, as if he was saying it to someone in the place.
"Look, this is our Chang'an."
"That's where we bleed so hard for it."
"You said you hadn't seen it before, so I'll take you to see it today."
"Look at the ...... for them, too"
