Chapter 495: Fierce Tang Feng

"Deputy Prime Minister, what did you say? Didn't I sleep well in the morning? Liu Xuan and Gao Siji finally sat in the handsome tent and drank a cup of hot tea and were frightened by Tuoba's words, Gao Siji even splashed a cup of tea directly on his body, "Marry the princess and relatives?" Is the Qarluq's brain broken? Not to mention, our baby princess is only full moon soon, even if there is a princess, why marry him a barbarian? is still a barbarian who was beaten by us, and he really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. Gao Siji's words made Liu Xuan deeply agree, Li Xuanqing added a princess and a prince in the Qing Dynasty, and there are only a few people in the entire Tang royal family? All the high-level officials of the entire Tang Dynasty are not good for the two princes and this little princess, and even for a while, the two older generations, Zhang Tianhu and Ma Laosan, simply did nothing, and lived directly in the palace and took the children every day, and other generals and high-level leaders even found reasons and excuses to enter the palace every day to see the two children. At this time, Tihe married the princess and was not afraid of being beaten to death by everyone in the Tang Dynasty?

Liu Xuan said disdainfully: "Marshal, deputy prime minister, in my opinion, why is this kind of mission sent to Chang'an?" Directly drive back, and wait until the beginning of spring next year to directly lead the army to fight over, I don't believe it, and when the soldiers come to the city, will the Khan King mention such an unrealistic request. I'm going to have to screw his head off. No, I'm going to take his daughters back to Chang'an and sell them directly. Liu Xuan's words made Wan Yi and Tuoba Sijian laugh and understand one thing at the same time, this news must not be known to the rest of the army, especially Li Feixue, who is sitting in Broken Leaf City at this time, otherwise this guy will have to fight directly. And marry a princess? What age is this, when the Tang Dynasty is at its peak and the victories in front are passed to the Central Plains one after another, if the people know that there is a tribe in the northwest who actually wants to marry the Tang princess, I am afraid that the next day countless people will gather at the gate of the yamen of the state capitals to ask the court to immediately order it back. Since the Han Dynasty, although the policy of peace and proximity has been the most common method used by the Central Plains Dynasty to consolidate the border and form good relations with nomadic tribes, it basically does not adopt this obviously humiliating policy when the Central Plains Dynasty is strong, and even if there is, it is basically not a princess who marries it. There is only one real princess used by the Han generation to make peace, and the others are either female members of the royal family, and the most common thing is to randomly select a palace maid from the palace and declare that she is a princess and send it directly on the road. In the Tang Dynasty, although there was an allusion to Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet, Princess Wencheng Li Xueyan was actually the daughter of Li Daozong, just the county lord. After Li Xuanqing re-established the country, the new Tang Dynasty has been facing the surrounding countries and ethnic groups with a strong attitude, whether it is going north to pacify the northern nomads or recovering the northwest, the principle that has always been adhered to is to fight, until all the tribes bend their knees and surrender, when has there been such a thing as harmony? And Li Xuanqing also made it clear that the Tang Empire does not need a vassal system, nor does it need this kind of vassal power, so does it still need peace? If there is any dissatisfaction, just lead the army to fight over. And the current situation is also that Qarlu was defeated before. What's more, anyone who is familiar with the history of the Anxi Army in the Qarlus tribe will not forget that if it wasn't for the Qarlus rebellion during the Battle of Genross, the Anxi Army led by Gao Xianzhi and Li Siye would not have suffered a crushing defeat at the Great Food Empire in Genross, thus losing the initiative of the Tang Dynasty in Central Asia in vain. And this defeat is directly a regret for the ages, and then before Gao Xianzhi and Li Siye could learn from the pain and take revenge, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and the Anxi army had to be transferred back to the Central Plains to quell the rebellion, and Datang lost the initiative in Anxi forever. Therefore, to this day, almost all the high-level generals of the Tiance Army are heartbroken by the Battle of Genross, and the Western Expeditionary Army at this time carries the hope of almost the entire Tang Dynasty for recovering the northwest and restoring the ancestral industry. At this time, if Wan Yi and the others nodded at this time, then without Li Xuanqing's order, the people of Datang would not let them go.

"Chief of Staff, immediately send an urgent letter to the emperor in the name of me and the deputy prime minister, write down all the information of the Qarlu mission and submit it to the emperor, and attach the opinions of all the officers and men of the Western Expeditionary Army and all the officials of the Yamen of the Northwest Military Region, that is, our Tiance Army is ready to exterminate Qarlu at any time, please rest assured that the emperor and the people of the Tang Dynasty will be relieved that we will definitely pay for the debt with blood. In those days, we will lead the bones and countless heroic spirits of Genros back to their homeland and comfort their souls in heaven. Wan Yi's face was solemn, and there was a quick kill in his tone. Li Xuanqing, Qiuzi's ceremony to commemorate the Anxi Army, Wan Yi is vivid, if he was not in the position of the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, I am afraid that he would have led the army to fight over a long time ago.

"The fierce Tang wind does not allow us to defile, and naturally we are not allowed to trample on a single Qarluq." Tuoba's words were sonorous and powerful, "I think the emperor's reaction will be the same as ours, and the entry of the Qarluq delegation into Beijing will also be beneficial to us, which can better let the people of the Tang Dynasty remember that period of history, mobilize the morale of the people to prosper the Tang Dynasty and wash away the shame, and will also inspire my hundreds of thousands of Tiance soldiers to serve the country and never die without regrets." ”

"Write down the words of the Deputy Prime Minister and summon them to the officers and men of the armies, and inform them of the purpose of the Qarluq mission." Wan Yi said to Liu Xuan: "Our Datang acts above board, we can't hide this kind of thing that insults everyone in my Datang, we have to tell the soldiers 1510 and tell them how Ge Lulu insulted my Datang." If you want to marry my princess of the Tang Dynasty, you need to ask us if the 200,000 soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army are willing. ”

Wan Yi's words made Gao Siji and Liu Xuan promise in unison, this is a major matter related to the honor and disgrace of all the soldiers of the Tiance Army, and they must go all out. And Tuoba Sizhi on the side looked at Wan Yi with some surprise, the Western Expeditionary Army is not a mainland army, they are on the front line at this time, if the soldiers are excited, they are afraid that they will be encouraged by the lower-level soldiers to fight Gelulu in the winter, will this fall for the other party's scheme? Moreover, Tuoba Siji's original plan was to let the news be transmitted back to the Central Plains first, so as to stimulate the people's attention to state affairs and add another fire to the five-year plan that is in full swing in China. But he didn't expect Wan Yi to straightforwardly plan to take the lead in making this matter public within the Western Expeditionary Army, didn't he plan to immediately start a war in the north? If these units of the Western Expeditionary Army, which had high morale, knew about this, Tuoba Sizhi only felt that his scalp was troublesome, he could imagine the scene of all the soldiers asking for an immediate attack on the Qarluq, and more importantly, once these soldiers set foot on the territory of the Qarluq, they would definitely vent all their anger on all the Qarluqs, that is to say, whether it was to start a war immediately or wait until the beginning of spring next year, a massacre on the northern side would be inevitable. The Qarluqs will inevitably pay the price of their entire nation for their actions today.

"I know the thoughts of the Qarlu people, but I don't care what conspiracy they have in this, the tribes in the northwest must pay enough price for their treatment of my Tang Anxi Army and the remnants of Anxi in the past, and those who insult my Tang Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away. This is our bottom line, and it is also the bottom line that we and other Tiance soldiers must adhere to, and it should be the bottom line of all Datang people. Wan Yi stood up and said in an impassioned tone, "The Tang Dynasty is now returning to the northwest, and we must use iron and blood to open the way to regain the dignity and glory of the past, we need to use a reckless battle and the destruction of a tribe to write this history of blood and fire, to tell all the ethnic groups in the northwest, from the first day that my western expeditionary army set foot on the northwest land, this place will always belong to the Tang Dynasty, and anyone who dares to be the enemy of my Datang will be wiped out." Ge Lulu, the former traitor of the Tang Dynasty, is the first step for us to wash away our shame, and it is also the monument we use to declare the dignity of the Tang Dynasty in the northwest. ”

With Wan Yi's words, countless envoys of the Western Expeditionary Army set off from Shule and rushed to various places, and began to convey the supreme instructions of the Western Expeditionary Army Headquarters, and attached the submission sent by Liu Xuan to Chang'an. Almost in the short period of half a month a year ago, everyone in the entire Anxi from south to north and east to west was stunned by this information. This speed was even faster than the entry of the Qarlu delegation into Beijing, and the submission signed by Tuoba Sizhi and Wan Yi that Xuanyingwei sent to Chang'an as quickly as possible was also sent to Li Xuanqing's desk before the New Year. When Li Xuanqing carefully examined this submission, the entire northwest was boiling, and countless officers and soldiers of the Tiance Army immediately crowded to their respective military headquarters after learning the news, found the generals of the various armies who were in the same mood as them, and demanded that the headquarters immediately attack Gelulu. In particular, the three central garrison battalions were originally directly subordinate to the central government of the empire, and they were the imperial forest army troops directly under the emperor. And the northernmost guard battalion, if it weren't for Li Feixue's last thought, I was afraid that these soldiers from the personal guard battalion who had come from Chang'an and had just arrived at Ge Lulu would have killed them overnight. When will it be the turn of a small northwest tribe to ask the Tang Dynasty to marry the princess? Even those soldiers were complaining to each other about why it was so easy to send Qarluq's mission to Shule in the first place. Some of the radical soldiers even suggested that Li Feixue immediately send someone to catch up, and not let the Qarluq delegation enter Beijing, and kill them directly on the road.

"Tell all the soldiers to read the instructions sent by the commander carefully." After reading Wan Yi's instructions almost word for word, Li Feixue said to all the battalions who came to ask for instructions: "Let everyone prepare for me, and I will not slack off in preparing for war day and night." As soon as the order of the commander to send troops came, my personal guard battalion should immediately set out to kill Qarluq. Tell all the soldiers that this time our enemy is the entire Qarluq tribe, and that any Qarluq, men, women, and children who stand in our way, are enemies. ”

Li Feixue's words at this moment not only represent the attitude of the guard battalion, but also coincide with the other two central garrison battalions, if it weren't for Li Feixue's big appearance but extremely meticulous heart, if the guard battalion and Tie Liang's heavy cavalry battalion changed positions, I was afraid that Tie Liang would directly lead the army to attack immediately even if he desperately disobeyed the military order.

When the armies in the northwest wrote to the headquarters one after another to ask the army to severely punish Ge Lulu, after Li Xuanqing published the full text of this submission verbatim in the monthly magazine of the media group, the news quickly spread all over the world, and Datang, who was originally going to celebrate the New Year, was completely shocked by this news in an instant. Almost all the people of the Tang Dynasty regarded themselves as the real people of the Celestial Empire, and the Tang Dynasty of that year did live up to this kind of bearing, the majesty of the Tang Dynasty shocked the Quartet, and the Tang army sealed thousands of miles everywhere it went, and all ethnic groups were bound to submit. When did you need to marry your own princess for a small clan? You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, there was not much market for the policy of harmony. Although Princess Wencheng stabilized the Tibetan people after entering Tibet, what happened to Her Royal Highness the princess made everyone feel angry. This is not a thousand years after Li Xuanqing's previous life, many things have happened in less than a hundred years, and many people know about those things. Today's Datang has gone through the accumulated disadvantages and weakness brought about by a hundred years of civil strife, and the mood of the people of Datang whose lives have changed every year has also returned to the kind of pride that took the world as their own responsibility in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. On the 20th day of December in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, countless people of Chang'an spontaneously came to the gate of the Chang'an Yamen, asking Chang'an County to write to His Majesty the Emperor and immediately order the Western Expeditionary Army to conquer Gelulu, on the one hand, to avenge the heroic soul of the Anxi Army who died in vain, and on the other hand, to completely eradicate this scourge in the northwest and prevent the recurrence of the tragedy in the future. And for marrying a princess, it is a matter of indignation among the people, since the portrait of the little princess of Tianyu was sketched out and published in the newspaper, almost all the people remember this lovely princess who is still in infancy, because there is already a royal eldest son before, so this only princess has an unparalleled voice among the people at this time, and the people in the anger do not ask why they directly ask the county government to write immediately, no matter why they must not let the Qarlu mission enter Beijing, which is to defile their precious princess Her Royal Highness, but also tarnishing the dignity of Datang.

Although the people of Chang'an who were reborn because of Li Xuanqing did not understand so many historical facts and allusions as the people of Chang'an, it did not prevent everyone from understanding Wan Yi's sonorous words in the submission and the oath on behalf of all the officers and men of the Western Expeditionary Army. Therefore, the people everywhere almost unanimously demanded that the yamen of all places present His Majesty the Emperor and severely punish the Qarluq people who insulted the Tang Dynasty.

In this wave, various places have also received letters from the cabinet Cen Tianshi, the cabinet asked the yamen to propagate to the people, the Tang Dynasty is now a critical period for the rise of the country, the people for the country to share the worry is the empire's luck, Ge Lulu insulted the Tang Dynasty, the Tiance army soldiers will completely destroy the enemy, shame for the country. As a common man, he needs to actively stabilize the rear, work hard to develop the economy with the imperial government, and provide more food and better weapons for the soldiers on the imperial frontier to fight with peace of mind, so that they can kill the enemy with peace of mind. In order to be able to appease all the people, Cen Tianshi even asked the yamen at all levels in various places to send special personnel to organize the people to study the history of Anxi, learn the current policies of the Tang Dynasty in Anxi and all the measures of the current Western Expeditionary Army, so that everyone can understand that the Western Expeditionary Army is already preparing for a new war and will not disappoint the expectations of the people of the Tang Dynasty. The vigorous national boycott of Qarluq did not subside until the end of the year, but the people who breathed a sigh of relief poured all their enthusiasm into economic construction, and thus gave the strongest impetus to the development of the empire's economy in the last year of the first cabinet.

At this time, although the northwest side is cold and windy, heavy snow is raging. Su Xiaohu and the Flying Eagle Brigade received an order that surprised and excited them, and the Flying Eagle Brigade disappeared north in the wind and snow of Shule after repairing for more than a month. The Western Expeditionary Army's countermeasures against Ge Lulu took the lead from Su Xiaohu's excited eyes.
