Unbeknownst to him, the elephant carcasses they threw away every day had become a delicacy for the Tang army in the city.

As the siege passed, the barbarian patriarchs protested, but Prince Abe remained firm in his judgment.

As long as you persist in patience, the Tang army will not perish.

But as time passed, on the fifth day, the balance of the battlefield finally fell on the Tang army.

Li Xiaogong, the king of Chu, came to his aid.

The 30,000 horses led by Li Xiaogong echoed with the more than 10,000 remnants of the army in the city, and fought a beautiful siege and annihilation battle outside the city.

The quality of the Tang army was more than twice as strong as that of the barbarians.

As the first military power, Datang exerted its charm for the first time, and under the tide of countless arrows, Abe was like a lost dog who once again went to the road of escape.

Since then, the entire territory of Linyi has finally been completely captured by the Tang army, and even the barbarians further south are timid for a while, and dare not plunder the tiger whiskers of the Tang army.

Next, their opponents were concentrated in the country of Zhenla.

Unlike before the attack on Linyi, the Tang army of 140,000 soldiers and horses was almost half disabled, but the victory was great at home, and another 50,000 new troops were recruited in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and a batch of supplies had been transported.

As Li Shimin's son, Li Yuan unceremoniously asked Li Shimin to send famous generals in the court to come to his aid to prevent the occurrence of another siege and occupation of the city.

According to the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, 10,000 can fight 100,000 of those barbarian soldiers, but unfortunately there was no general in the city at that time, and the new generation did not shine, and the older generation was concentrated in the Northern Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin thought about it for a long time, his father's life is not far away, and it is estimated that he is doing all this to leave a name in history.

Although the founding Taizu is powerful, the opening of the territory can always be remembered.

People like Hou Junji and Cheng Yanjin, who obviously have an enmity with Li Yuan, can't be dispatched, and only a few people who remained neutral at the beginning after thinking about it.

For example, Chai Shao and Qin Qiong.

Chai Shao, as the husband of the eldest princess of Pingyang, is the son-in-law of the Emperor Taishang, so he naturally agreed to 10,000 times, and the relationship with the Emperor Taishang was also very good.

And Qin Qiong himself remained neutral, no one helped, just call him when he was fighting, and during the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin had a little grudge, so Qin Qiong was almost refrigerated.

If you want to be generous, be generous, with a wave of his holy decree, Chai Shao and Qin Qiong each led 10,000 soldiers and horses south to support Emperor Taishang.

And they also brought many good horses.

There is an extreme shortage of horses in the south, and there is no environment for the growth of good horses, and the Yunnan horses in Yunnan and Sichuan are very famous, but the dwarf man is one, and his feet are rubbed on the ground when he rides, talking about what combat effectiveness.

Since ancient times, it is difficult to overcome difficulties in the north, only Zhu Chongba to the south and the north, which has a lot to do with the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty does not attach importance to farming, it is still a set of nomads, and it is eager to turn the whole country into pastures, although this difficult goal has not been achieved in the south, but there are many Mongolian horses in the south through the Yangtze River, which provides a prerequisite for Zhu Chongba to the south and the north, coupled with the taxes in the south of the Yangtze River, the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty is really not a weak victory over the strong.

Since the Zhenguan Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks three years ago, recaptured the Hetao, and controlled the Mongolian steppe, there are more than 1 million horses recorded in the horse breeding superintendent, and there are more than 300,000 qualified war horses.

Since the old man wanted to be happy, Li Shimin simply sent tens of thousands of war horses and let the emperor squander them to his heart's content.

He can see that the Emperor Taishang does not have the idea of splitting the Tang Dynasty, and the Emperor Taishang has no heirs around him, as long as he boils the Emperor Taishang to death, no matter how you look at it, it is a good deal.

Li Shimin is still very sure of his body, and he doesn't want to live a long life, but compared with his father, he is still very promising.

The longest-lived emperor since ancient times was Xiao Yan of the Southern Dynasty, who lived to be eighty-six years old, and now the age of the Emperor Taishang is sixty-seven years old, which is nineteen years behind.

And he, Li Shimin, is now only in his thirties, and it is not difficult to survive for another nineteen years, and the peak of a man's career is forty or fifty years old.

In ancient times, the low life expectancy was due to the lack of medical treatment and medicine, and there were many natural disasters, but this has nothing to do with the aristocracy, and the normal state of the aristocracy is to live to seventy or eighty, and they are all old birthday stars.

Besides, Nantang is also very obedient, and the taxes sent every year do not decrease but increase, and the business is better.

Li Shimin also admires this.

He is good at fighting, but if he talks about governing the country, he is at most obedient, he has no economic talent at all, and his political ability is also a big step behind Li Jiancheng, otherwise it is not the rule of Zhenguan, but the prosperity of Zhenguan. (There used to be a saying that Zhenguan was prosperous, but the economic level of Zhenguan was too different from Kaiyuan, and it gradually turned into the saying of Zhenguan's rule.) ）

He was overjoyed to see that his father would build him an economic power again, so he decided to go to war against the Western Regions while being excited.

He has coveted the Silk Road for a long time, but the Gaochang Kingdom of the Dog Day has always occupied the lifeblood of the Silk Road.

The state of Gaochang was supported by the Western Turks and Tibet.

Li Shimin doesn't care about 3721, every year when he congratulates, these small countries in the Western Regions also send congratulatory gifts, such as Gaochangguo, which gave a rare cat in Persia.......

He wasn't unusual.

Directly let Hou Junji lead the army to crusade against Gaochang Kingdom, and the countries that are willing to borrow the Tao will not be destroyed, and the countries that are unwilling to borrow the Tao will be destroyed directly, so the fight will stop in Gaochang Kingdom.

And Gao Changguo also desperately resisted, waiting for reinforcements from the Western Turks and Tibet, but unfortunately the strength of the Tang army was too strong, and it was too strong to look at the whole East and even the world, and the Western Turks were too busy to take care of themselves, and the black-clothed food over there was being carried out with them, and the Songtsen Gampo of Tibet had just unified the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the daughter of Li Shimin was greedy for it, and repeatedly sent Zuo Xiang to Chang'an to propose marriage.......

The Tang army is a fierce lord, seeing that Gao Changguo is so tenacious, Hou Junji directly ordered the city to be slaughtered after the city was broken and sealed for three days.

This is what the Tang Army has always done.

But don't think that the Han and Tang dynasties are reasoning with you, they will send a large army to destroy you if they are not satisfied, and the reasons are very speechless, and they are not convinced by Wang Hua......

The dynasty in Huaxia has always believed that they are orthodox and barbarians on all sides, and those younger brothers were influenced by the Central Plains, so they naturally radiated to become vassal states, and Huaxia became the suzerain.

Every time you crusade, you can also put forward a lot of "justifiable" reasons,

See, we're reasoning with you.

Army?

Inexistent.

Gaochang State held firm for a month, did not wait for reinforcements, was directly slaughtered by Hou Junji, and the fleeing King of Gaochang was indignant, and then united with the small countries of the Western Regions to run to Chang'an to let Tian Khan preside over the reason.

It is estimated that Li Shimin is also confused, looking at this group of people pretending to be confused, Lao Tzu beat you, you ran over and cried......
