Chapter 35: After the Heroes

Li Longji was worried about money, and when he heard Yang Shenjin say this, he came to his senses and said, "Yang Aiqing, come quickly." ”

Yang Shenjin can be regarded as a descendant of the emperor, he is the great-great-grandson of Yang Guang, the emperor of Sui, the great-grandson of Yang Jin, the king of Qi, the grandson of Yang Zhengdao, the king of Sui, and the son of Yang Chongli, the prince of Hongnong County.

Li Yang's two families fell in love with each other and killed each other.

In general, for the Yang family, the Li family is quite kind, not only is they not afraid, but they are also entrusted with important tasks.

Yang Shenjin's father, Yang Chongli, is the best example.

Yang Chongli has been intelligent since childhood, very strategic, and has served as Luo, Liang, Hua, Fen, and Huai Wuzhou Assassins, all of which are famous for their political achievements.

In the first year of Kaiyuan, Li Longji transferred Yang Chongli to the court and held the position of secretary of Taifu.

Taifuqing is the real money bag of the Tang Dynasty, and he is richer than the household department.

The head of the household department is the people of the world and the financial decrees, while the Taifu Secretary is in charge of the warehousing and trade of goods, and is in charge of the Kyoto Municipal Bureau and the leveling of prices in the world, and is mainly responsible for commerce.

It can also be said that the two departments of the household department and the Taifu Qing controlled the economy of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Yang Chongli has worked in Taifuqing for 20 years, and he has always been fair and honest, and not long ago he was appointed as the secretary of the household department.

It can be said that Li Longji handed over the economy of the Tang Dynasty to Yang Chongli alone.

Yang Chongli also did not live up to Li Longji's weight, and the wealth in the treasury piled up.

When the imperial court audited the accounts, Yang Chongli's finances were all accurate, and the money saved from the annual inspection was millions of yuan, and he was a veritable cadre.

It's a pity that two years ago, Yang Chongli fell seriously ill and resigned as Taifuqing.

Li Longji was grateful for Yang Chongli's great achievements, and was unwilling to hand over the position of Taifuqing to others, and planned to choose one of Yang Chongli's three sons.

Yang Chongli's family education is excellent, and his three sons Yang Shenyu, Yang Shenjin, and Yang Shenming are all outstanding people, all of whom are diligent and abide by it, are honest and honest, and have the demeanor of their fathers.

However, Yang Shenjin was the best, so he was appointed to supervise the imperial history and be in charge of the income and expenditure of the Taifu.

Yang Shenjin also lived up to expectations, was deep and resolute, talented, and was especially good at financial management and management of Taifu, with outstanding political achievements, and inherited his father's position as Taifuqing.

Yang Shenjin said respectfully: "The minister has a good friend, surnamed Wang Ming, after the Taiyuan Wang family, his grandfather is Wang Fangyi, the general of my Chaoxi domain, this person has a very deep understanding of financial matters, and his ability is even higher than that of the minister. ”

Yang Shenjin's words made Li Longji very interested.

Wang Fangyi is the most brilliant post-famous general of the Tang Dynasty after Pei Xingjian, consolidating the border defense and pacifying the Western Regions, but it is a pity that it was folded in the hands of Wu Zetian.

"After the hero, it must be extraordinary!" Li Longji also thought of Wang Zhonghe, and said excitedly: "Yang Aiqing will choose a time to bring Wang Jie, and I will personally meet this famous family for a while." ”

**********

Leaving troops in Peshawar, Abu Muslim, the newly promoted general of Mosremassa, the supreme military commander of Arabia, led a vanguard army of 20,000 to the Kabul River.

Along the way, the Tang army cavalry that continued to appear sporadically on both flanks wasted a lot of time, and finally reached the vicinity of the Kabul River in the early morning mist.

What appeared in front of them at this time was a banner that covered the sky and the sun, and it was 15,000 strong soldiers under the command of Feng Changqing, the envoy of Anxi Jiedu.

Looking at the murderous military formation opposite, Abu Muslim's face was a little heavy.

The Arabs and Tibetans had the same interests, and when they got the news, they immediately chose to send troops to the Western Regions.

Mosremassa sent Abu al-Muslim directly as a spearhead to force the crossing of the Kabul River.

Abu Muslim traveled all the way, but he didn't want to be one step too late for the Tang army.

"Sure enough, it's not an opponent to be taken lightly!"

Abu Muslim looked at the other party's majestic military formation, and couldn't help but sigh.

Compared with the opponents they had encountered in the past, the army in front of them was obviously completely different.

"No matter what, this Kabul ...... must be taken"

Abu Muslim's gaze was determined.

The Arabs planned to use Tianzhu as a pedal and go north to pacify the Western Regions.

However, there were two rivers between Tianzhu and the Tang Dynasty, one was the Xindu River, which ran through the east and west, and the other was the Kabul River, which connected the northwest and southeast.

The total length of the Xindu River is about 2736 kilometers, and the basin is wide. The upper reaches of this river are dangerous, and in ancient times it was called the suspension or the big headache ridge and the small headache ridge.

The Arab navy has always been their weakness, and in this respect they have suffered many losses from Byzantium.

The lion king, Mosley Masa, is also known for land warfare and is not good at water warfare.

Xindu River didn't think about it at all.

The Kabul River is relatively much flatter, and the course is not very wide, especially at the junction of the middle and lower reaches, there is a stone arch bridge called the Tang Bridge, which can be passed by large armies.

At the moment when the decision was made to send troops, Mosley Massa immediately sent troops to seize the Tang Bridge in order to cross the army.

Abu Muslim was well aware of the importance of the Don Bridge, and marched day and night, but the result was still a step slower.

"Someone's coming!"

Abu Muslim was hesitating to attack, but he was surprised to find a man running from the opposing army, holding a flag in his hand.

Abu Muslim also knew that this was a signal to speak, and waved his hand for his generals to let him go and stand by.

The person sent by Feng Changqing naturally spoke Arabic, and after more than ten steps, he hugged his fists from a distance and said: "My family envoy said that General Abu came from afar, and he must be tired day and night. My Tang Dynasty is a benevolent and righteous army, and I will not mobilize troops at this time. General Abu can rest here and wait for his strength to recover, and then fight against our Tang army. ”

Teacher of Righteousness!

This is clearly intended to deceive children.

Abu Muslim is also a famous Arab general in history, although he was born as a slave, he became an important Arab general, and he was the one who defeated Gao Xianzhi in the Battle of Talas.

It is different from Mosley Massa's bravery, which is good at fighting hard battles.

Abu Muslim was good at scheming, perceptive and direct, and it was he who instigated Qarluq's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty and sealed the victory of the first Armageddon between the East and the West.

After a little hesitation, Abu Muslim had already thought of the other party's intentions.

The Tang Bridge is still there, and the Tang Army should have just arrived and didn't have time to destroy the bridge.

If it rests in place, it is equivalent to giving the Tang army time to demolish the Tang Bridge.

Thinking of this, Abu Muslim said in a loud voice: "Go back and thank you for the kindness of your envoys, we are warriors under the lion kings of the Arab Empire, blessed by Allah, and have infinite strength." Crush all infidels in any situation! ”

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The earth-shattering drums of war have been beaten.

Abu Muslim issued a war call and sounded the trumpet of conquest.

The Arabian characteristic infantry phalanx with a long row at the front.

The first column is a soldier with a battle axe and a long shield, and the four columns in the back row are spearmen with spears, followed by two-handed swordsmen in armor......

Step by step, slowly, but like a wall.
