On the prairie, there is half-human pasture, cattle and sheep eat comfortably, and in the distance are the tents of the Tibetan tribe.

This is a small Tibetan tribe, and the tribal leader takes in Nimagon.

The three sons of Nimagon, the last prince of Tibet, had been captured alive by Tang Zhangwei, and whenever the Tang army and the Tubo army that submitted to them passed by, those tribal leaders who had returned to them would be given the title of knight and blessing.

Those tribes who refused to obey were taken away and turned into slaves.

The tribes on the steppe are increasingly afraid to take in the former Tibetan prince.

Tashi Dundup, the leader of this tribe, shaved his hands and grabbed the meat with a hand-untying knife, and earnestly persuaded Nimagon.

Nimagon forced a smile on his face, but he had no appetite.

A forest moved over the horizon, turning the entire prairie sky into night.

As they approached, the reflections and flashes on the blades of the men turned night into day.

However, this day is more terrifying than night.

When the army led by Tang Zhangwei returned, Nimagon wanted to escape, but found that he was top-heavy and had no strength in his body.

Tashi Dunzhu, the head of the Tubo tribe, smiled softly: "The iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is destined to occupy the entire grassland, their soldiers and horses are more than barley grains, and our fate with the Central Plains is more sticky than ghee, you, the prince of Tubo, are about to fall into reincarnation, and the herdsmen of our tribe want to exchange you for wealth." ”

Tang Zhangwei's army had not yet approached the tribe, and Tashi Dunzhu's son, Tashi Mochi, had already arrived in front of the army on horseback.

Tashi Dundrup welcomed Tang Zhangwei with a white hata, and no one paid attention to the Nyimagon, who was tied up like a rice dumpling.

This small Tibetan tribe was finally rewarded, and Tashi Dunzhu was given the title of 10,000 households, and the number of their tribesmen suddenly increased fiftyfold.

The Tang army's war horses ate up the grass on the steppe of the Tashi Dunzhu tribe and drank up the butter tea stored by his tribe.

The entire tribe's territory was left with only black sand and yellow dirt, something that had never happened in thousands of years.

Tang Zhangwei ordered the army to set off towards the Western Regions, because the entire snowy plateau was already prostrate at his feet, and he was about to start a new journey.

The distant Western Regions tempted him like a dream. Wei Zhuang entered the snowy plateau, and he began to draw up laws and various articles to govern the place like any other land conquered by Tang Zhangwei.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty began to enter here, and as long as they were willing to learn Confucianism and the Tang language, they could become officials.

Of course, the Confucian scholars here in Tang Zhangwei are not powerless scholars, but warriors who are proficient in poetry, writing, etiquette, music and shooting.

Bai Cunxiao said: "General, your Confucian scholars have become martial artists. ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "Since ancient times, my Chinese civilization has been like this, this is the original source, didn't the poet immortal Li Bai say that he has sharpened a sword for ten years, and the frost blade has not been tried?" I'm just retro. ”

Irina, the concubine of Eastern Rome, looked at the 3,000 Tang troops and the 7,000 elephant army serving her, and had a bold plan in her heart.

At this time, the western Liangzhou and the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty were controlled by Zhang Chengcheng.

Of course, the grandson of Zhang Yichao, a famous general in the late Tang Dynasty, is just a puppet, and the real real power is in the hands of Zhang Yichao's fourteenth daughter, Li Mingzhen's wife.

In the first year of Qianning, that is, in 894 AD, Zhang

After sending her three sons to kill her usurping brother-in-law Suo Xun, she supported Zhang Chengfeng as the envoy of the Guiyi Army.

The huge Liangzhou and the entire Anxi Protectorate were all controlled by Zhang Shishi.

After Tang Zhangwei found out, he said: "Hen Si Chen, there must be difficulties. ”

After the fall of the Uighur Khanate in the Western Regions, it was divided into three tribes, one of which was a powerful Black Khanate, which occupied all of North Central Asia. At this time, it was Basil Khan who served as khan.

The other group was the Hexi Uighurs, whose khan was Yingyi Khan, who had 50,000 troops and had a good relationship with Zhang Chengfeng, the envoy of the Liangzhou Guiyi Army.

The last Uighur tribe of Qocho was led by the Sukubil.

First of all, it was the Uighurs of the Kingdom of Gaochang who were besieged.

Tang Zhangwei ordered the Gaochang king Fugu Bil to surrender the city, and as the canonized king of the Tang Dynasty, Fugu Bil and his subjects believed in Zoroastrianism and Buddhism.

Zha Xi Cairen was ordered to send an envoy to Gaochang City, but Gu Bile did not have the talent of his father, Gu Jun, and in the face of the continuous advance of the Black Khan Dynasty and the pressure of Tang Zhangwei's army, he could only pray for the blessing of the Buddha.

Unfortunately, the Buddha could not protect him, and Fugu Bil sent people to Zhang Chengfeng for help, but the 10,000 reinforcements sent by Zhang Chengfeng were defeated by Bai Cunxiao's 30,000 iron cavalry before they came to Gaochang City.

The blood of 10,000 troops was spilled on the field, and it became fertilizer for the wheat in the field.

Gaochang City was heavily surrounded by Tang Zhangwei's army, huge siege towers, and various trebuchets were erected in turn.

The Greek fire was also prepared, just waiting for Tang Zhangwei to attack.

The soldiers and civilians of Gaochang City saw that there was no hope in defending the city, and finally had to make up their minds to surrender.

After a day of discussion, Fugu Bil went out of the city in white and personally led the horse for Tang Zhangwei.

Tang Zhangwei pardoned the sins of the Gaochang Kingdom in resisting the Tang army and rode into the city.

Now, the Don army began to border the Black Khan dynasty.

When Tang Xizong, the son of polo, heard that Tang Zhangwei had occupied Gaochang in the Western Regions, and at the same time occupied the entire hometown of Tubo, he couldn't help but be furious, and said: "A mutton dealer and tavern guy with a machete can conquer such a big country, and the elite soldiers under my command are powerless in the face of a mere yellow nest, which is really a joke." ”

Princess Suining had just cleaned her mouth with a toothbrush made of willow branches and bristles, and when she came to meet her brother, she was angry when she saw that her brother was angry, so she comforted: "Haven't you always been worried that Tang Zhangwei is plotting against Li Tangtianxia?" Now, isn't it a good thing that Tang Zhangwei has expanded his territory and proved that he is not here? What's more, the more he fought west, the more soldiers and horses he needed. I heard that there is a big country in the west called Dashi, and further west there is a big country called the Eastern Roman Empire, which just makes him go toe-to-toe with those big countries. ”

Tang Xizong said: "I am unwilling! I am not willing to let my ancestors' family business fall into my hands like this. ”

Princess Suining said: "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, what are you unwilling to do." ”

In Chang'an City, there is a faint sadness, which is no better than Tang Zhangwei's army, which has turned to fight thousands of miles. However, it also makes people choke on tears.

Tang Xizong wanted to cheer up, but the eunuchs and envoys seemed to be unappointable.

In the Central Plains, the Jiedu envoys of the Tang Dynasty fell into a stalemate with the army of Huangchao.

Those peasant rebels were carrying more and more ordinary people to join their ranks, and the Tang Dynasty officials and troops kept fighting with them, but the number of these rebels was increasing, and it seemed that they would never be able to kill.
