Under the city of Kyoto, the 60,000-strong army was on the opposite side.

It's just that Li Zhan and the others don't seem to care much about the 60,000 army at all, because Li Zhan and the others know that these people are just a group of people who were sent to death, and the war began without saying much on both sides.

However, as soon as the war began, the combined forces of the Monobe clan and Nakamaro ran into problems.

What a problem, the long-range range is inferior to Li Zhan's army.

You must know that most of the bows and crossbows made by the Monobe clan and Zhongmaro have a range of about 200 meters, but the range of Li Zhanjun's bows and crossbows is also 500 meters, so there is no need to fight.

The combined army of the Monobe clan and Nakamaro can only be filled with their lives.

But you can't fill it with your life, because 70 percent of these 60,000 troops were forcibly recruited, and people don't want to fight, and they look at those who run forward and die at their feet.

The fear in the hearts of those who were forcibly recruited could not be released at all, to move forward was to die, but if you retreated, there might be a glimmer of life, in front of you were arrows like rain, although there were people in the back who got the threat, but compared with the arrows that went to rain, there was still a slight chance of fighting.

So less than half an hour after the war began, a turning point began, and suddenly, to Li Zhandu's surprise, the combined forces of the Monobe clan and Nakamaro who were still attacking Kyoto suddenly turned against each other and attacked the positions of the central army of the Monobe clan and Nakamaro.

"What's the situation...?" Li Zhan was stunned.

Li Cheng on the side said: "Is it a ploy?" ”

"Scheme?" Li Zhan muttered: "It's not quite like it, you see, the Chinese army of the Monobe clan and Zhongmalu are about to be killed...!" ”

Just when Li Zhan and the others were still on the walls of Kyoto and didn't know what was happening, the combined army of the Monobe clan and Nakamaro let out a burst of cheers, and the content of the cheers was to kill the generals of the Monobe clan and Nakamaro.

followed these people to Kyoto to beg for surrender, Li Zhan was stunned... Just winn?

.............................

Time is a lot like an hourglass... Just when Li Zhan was fighting fiercely on Wadao, Datang was thriving at this time, first of all, the first happy event was a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, with a high yield of thousands of catties per acre, so that the people of Datang affectionately called sweet potatoes Zhenguan potatoes.

Following Li Shimin's order, each township has a township head. Zhao Tianxia households are divided into nine classes.

Subsequently, Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, announced the establishment of the Tang Imperial Library, which has a collection of millions of books, as long as you are a student, you can enter the royal library at will to borrow books and watch.

Li Shimin announced the construction of 100 schools in Datang, with books and free tuition.

The Tang Dynasty set up the Anxi Protectorate in Jiaohe City to target the Western Turks and administer the Western Regions. Yanqi, an ally of the Western Turks, attacked Xizhou, and Guo Xiaoke, the capital of Anxi, was the head of the march of the Xizhou Road, crusading against Yanqi who were dependent on the Western Turks, occupying Yanqi, and capturing the king Longtu Cavalry Branch.

Construction of Daming Palace began.

Gao Shilian and others, also known as.

It's just that just when everything was going well, suddenly... In the ninth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty took command of Li Jing at an advanced age, with the cooperation of the fierce generals Hou Junji, Li Daozong and others, the Tang army broke Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and Fu Yun hanged himself. This campaign established the prestige of the Tang army in the northwestern tribes, and also expanded the actual control of the Tang Dynasty territory to the west.

However, a year has passed, Tuyuhun has died endlessly, and when the Tang army has a large number of troops stationed in Xizhou, he united with Tubo to rebel, and even led 100,000 troops to attack the city of Suzhou in one fell swoop.

If Tubo and Tuyuhun take Suzhou, they will cut off the connection between Datang and Xizhou as soon as possible, then the lives of the Datang soldiers in Xizhou will be in danger, and the land in the Western Regions that they have just obtained will be handed over if they can't get it.

But now if Datang sends troops, it has aroused the opposition of many people, because Datang's financial resources are unstable at this time.

At this time, Tubo Songtsen Gampo sent a delegation to ask for relatives, led by Lu Dongzan, to ask the Tang Dynasty again, and this time Lu Dongzan asked for Li Zhan's sister Li Qian.

You must know that Li Shimin doesn't know how many times he has done this kind of marriage to his daughter and forming an alliance, so he is willing in his heart, and even he has thought of giving Li Yi the name, which is Princess Wencheng.

It's just that when Li Shimin and the ministers in the court were moved, the crown prince Li Chengqian raised the banner of his opposition, and it was also because of this that the crown prince Li Chengqian confronted Li Shimin in the court for the first time, and also contradicted Li Shimin.

The crown prince Li Chengqian threw out Li Zhan's remarks, that is, not to be in harmony, not to pay compensation, not to cede land, not to be a minister, the Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies in the society, it is clear that the men of the Tang Dynasty are not dead, why let women be wronged.

Li Shimin listened to it and scolded Li Chengqian for not knowing how to seek good fortune and avoid evil, I don't know how many men will die in a war, and how many families are behind this man, if you can use the grief of one family, you can avoid the crying of other families, shouldn't this be right?

Anyway, the two fathers and sons quarreled fiercely that day, and it was also that day that the eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said that Li Chengqian had the appearance of a prince, and then the court of the Tang Dynasty was also divided into two factions, one faction supported sending Li Qian to Tubo, and the other faction was resolutely opposed.

In the end, Li Shimin had no choice but to put this issue aside for the time being, and wait for Lu Dongzan to arrive in Datang before considering it.

At the same time, in Wajima, after Li Zhan fought in Kyoto and killed the Monobe clan and Nakamaro, on the same day, the Soga clan also sent troops to take only Nakamaro's territory, and firmly held Nakamaro's territory in his own hands.

Such behavior aroused the disgust of Li Zhan's brothers.

"Brother Zhan... Let me join forces with Lao Xue... I promise that I can drive the Suga family's army out of Ueno and Shimono... I really can't stand those shameless people. ”

Cheng Chu was silent, and the case was taken.

Looking at the angry Cheng Chumo, Li Zhan laughed and said, "Why... You must know that Ueno and Shimono are not our territory! ”

"Is it our turf .. But that's what we did, oh... People attack us, you don't come out, we defeat each other, you come out, is there such a good thing in the world? Yu Chi Baolin was furious.

"Poof... Ha ha...! Li Zhan said happily: "Okay, okay... Don't be angry anymore, I don't need those rotten places, my family wants them, then give them to them, what I want now is to levy miners, I want to bring back more gold and silver mines. ”

"But... It's too embarrassing, it's clear that those territories are ours. Cheng Chumo was still very unhappy.

It's just that Li Zhan smiled and said: "We can't stay in Wajima for a long time, there are some places we don't need, I only need a place with gold and silver mines, Kyushu Island and Kyoto are enough."

As for the rest of the place, I don't think I need to make any more effort to guard it, not only that, but I will let go of Kyoto step by step, and I will let Satomi Tachibana take control of Kyoto. ”

"Clams...!" Li Zhan's words surprised his brothers again.

It's just that Li Zhan is different from his brothers, Li Zhan can only use this means to occupy Wadao, of course, it is not like this forever, the main reason is that Li Zhan has limited troops in his hands now.

The gold and silver mines of Wadao can be collected for hundreds of thousands of years, and if Li Zhan goes to Datang to transfer troops now, then Wadao will be Datang's in the future.

This is not what Li Zhan wants to see, because Li Zhan has already said that he will not be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so Li Zhan must have a backhand, and no matter where Li Zhan goes in the future, gold and silver will definitely be needed.

Therefore, Li Zhan needs Wajima, and when Li Zhan has a large number of troops in the future, he will directly grab Wajima.

This is a manifestation of Li Zhan's selfishness, looking at his brothers' incomprehension, Li Zhan just smiled and didn't explain too much, because there are many things that can't be explained thoroughly, even if it's his own brothers.

Li Zhan had been staying in Wadao for several months, during which time Li Zhan had completed the three-legged situation, and followed Li Zhan back to Chang'an with his fleet.

He probably left in August and came back in October and November, and just after Li Zhan returned to Chang'an, a novel thing happened, the day after Li Zhan returned to Chang'an.

Li Zhan's three wives were all born.

Yang Qiaoer gave birth to a son, Ouyang Duoduo gave birth to a daughter, and Li Jingan also gave birth to a son, and suddenly Li Zhan had two more sons and a daughter.

Of course, in addition to two sons and a daughter, Li Zhan also has a younger sister, and before Li Zhan came back, Empress Changsun gave birth to a daughter, and Li Shimin was very happy.

It's just that just when Li Zhan was happy, a holy decree came, Li Shimin summoned Li Zhan into the palace, and what to do in the palace at this time, Li Zhan was also clear, nothing more than wanting Li Zhan to loosen his mouth and let Li Zhan's sister Li Qi marry into Tibet.

"Your Highness... Please...! "Li Junxian personally invited Li Zhan out of the palace, you must know how many princes of the dynasty have come to Li Zhan's palace at this time, not only the princes, princes, kings of Shu, kings of Qi... Wait... They are all standing in Li Zhan's palace.

Even Li Tai sent a gift to congratulate him.

"I'll go back when I go...!" With a smile, Li Zhan waved his hand to the people in the living room and said, "Cheng Qian, Li Ke, help me accompany everyone...!" ”

"Yes...!" Li Chengqian and Li Ke hurriedly bowed.

After finishing speaking, Li Zhan followed Li Junxian on the horse, bumpy all the way, Li Zhan came to the front of the Ganlu Palace, without a trace of hesitation, Li Zhan pushed open the gate of the Ganlu Palace, at this time because it was night, so the Ganlu Hall was brightly lit.

"The war is coming...!" Li Shimin shouted with a smile when he saw Li Zhan.

"Father has worked hard...!" Li Zhan walked up to Li Shimin and bowed with a smile.

"You've worked hard, how does it feel to be a first-time father...?" Li Shimin said with a smile.

"It's amazing, for the first time, Erchen felt panicked... When I see the three children, I feel that my body is connected by blood, especially when I see my daughter, Erchen will become the protector of my daughter for the rest of my life. ”

After Li Zhan finished speaking, Li Shimin was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your prince brother is really a roundworm in your stomach, this guy has quarreled with me many times, and he is not cowardly at all."

This has never been done before, so you, the eldest brother, should be much more important than me in his heart. ”

"Huh...!" Li Zhan laughed, and then sat down at Li Shimin's signal.

"But...!" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhan and said: "Harmony can avoid many things, and harmony is not throwing our daughter to the barbarians, in fact, harmony can influence Tibet, and it is to promote a more relationship between us and Tibet."

And I will give a grand kiss, and I will definitely not let Li Qian lose face. ”

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no shame in making peace, the cultural environment in the Tang Dynasty was completely different from that of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the harmony, that is, the peace with foreign people had to be sprayed to death by the literati, but in the Tang Dynasty, from the emperor to the commoners, they all thought that it was normal to be friendly, and there was a precedent in the Han Dynasty.

And the Tang Dynasty's harmony has no effect, in fact, it is useful in the strategy of gentle restraint of the surrounding tribes, to a certain extent, to ensure the tranquility of the border, but there are also great drawbacks in the harmony policy, and the relatives are definitely not married to the princess alone, in the harmony team not only have a large number of maids and other service personnel, but also know agriculture, calendar skilled craftsmen, which to a large extent to promote the economic development of the hostile forces, and it is precisely because of the harmony that the silk technology that has been kept by the dynasties for thousands of years leaked to Central Asia.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the national strength was strong, and the status of the princess was relatively high, but after the national strength of the Tang Dynasty weakened, it was different, for example, the peace with the Uighurs in the later period was to thank the Uighurs for helping to quell the Anshi Rebellion, and the fate of the princess, I won't talk about it.

The Tang Dynasty's policy of harmony had pros and cons, but in any case, these princesses became victims of politics, and none of the princesses were willingly married, which is indeed a sadness from this point of view.

"Erchen understands what his father means, but, please forgive my father, I don't agree to marry my sister to Tubo, it's not that I don't want to, but Songtsan Gampo is not worthy, and more importantly, I Datang is not threatened by someone, so I will marry my princess.

If we agree to Songtsen Gampo's proposal this time, then later... Whoever wants the princess of the Tang Dynasty, do you have to learn from Songtsen Gampo to attack my Datang.

At that time, what was my Datang?

As long as he is attacked, he will not even fight, and he will pay a princess, father, and the emperor will not agree with this. ”

Li Zhan's words made Li Shimin frown, and Li was really such a reason.

"It's just...!" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhan and said: "Zhan'er, our treasury can no longer support a campaign, and Songtsen Gampo is menacing....!" ”

The latter words were not said, Li Zhan smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, Qian Erchen has it, and it will be there soon, as for Songtsan Gampo is menacing, it doesn't matter, I will personally lead the Tiger Ben Army and the Tiger Army to beat Songtsan Gampo back to Tibet." ”

"You want to lead the army yourself?" Li Shimin was surprised?

Li Zhan smiled slightly: "Don't worry... We still have time, wait for that Lu Dongzan to come to the Tang Dynasty, and let's take a look at the clown behavior of Tubo first! ”
