Chapter Seventy-Three: Stimulation
This arrogance, this contempt, on Zanpo can not sit still.
Before he arrived at the deserted Dafeichuan City, Shenzanpo sent a messenger to ask why Li Wei still borrowed from Dafeichuan since the two countries were peaceful, causing some bad misunderstandings.
"By the way, is the Dachuan River the way of your Tuqiang people?" Li Wei sneered.
"Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you can't talk nonsense, it may cause more misunderstandings."
"What's your name?"
"My name is Mangan."
"Then I ask you, what is understanding? Don't be mistaken, this is our Datang giving you a chance to breathe. It is a reward and mercy, including Qinghai in order to give you Tuqiang people a way to live, did not immediately take it back, but this land will always be the territory of the Tang Dynasty. As for the misunderstanding, I'd love to see what happens to you Tuqiang people misunderstanding? ”
Then he pointed to the people who had fled in the distance and said, "Is this the so-called knowledge?" ”
With the rebellion in the east and west, the Tang Dynasty slowed down its high-pressure policy on Tuqiang, and people began to come out of various ravines and bring cattle and sheep to Dafeichuan and Chihai for grazing. Nature's ability to recover is amazing, at this time the environment has not deteriorated in later generations, no one has grazed for a long time, and the pasture grass on the rivers and rivers grows vigorously, which has an incomparable temptation for the people of Tuyuhun who live hard.
After the peace negotiation was successful, Shen Zanpo was even more aware of the school, learning the Tuntian of the Tang Dynasty, and cultivating the Tuntian in Dafeichuan and Liangfeichuan and other areas. Growing crops is more profitable than grazing, and with food in hand, you can feed more people, and even mobilize more troops to station. When I got out of the Yellow River, I saw the same situation as before, as soon as the wind blew, in addition to the grass or grass, the deeper I went, the more herdsmen and cultivated land I could see. There are still many people, the terrain is complicated, and it is impossible to clear them all.
Heizhi Changzhi once sent someone to inquire, from the end of the place, all the way to Dafeichuan, Wuhai, Paihai, there are about nearly 200,000 Tuyuhun people. In the past few years, the lockdown was tight, and life was very hard. It was the high-pressure policy of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise as long as someone was sent to publicize it and another ghost gate was opened, it is estimated that half of the people would defect again. That is impossible, and this is to maintain the authority of Lixin and the continuity of policies. And it has a strong deterrent effect on other ethnic groups. For example, Bailanqiang, after several times of purging, the remaining ministries all sent envoys to sue for peace and surrender, as well as Chunsang, Misang and various Shengqiang tribes adjacent to Songzhou. Whether it is a real surrender or a false surrender, but in the past few decades, even if Tuqiang sends troops, he will not dare to openly assist Tuqiang in invading the states of Jiannan as before.
The sudden arrival of the Tang Dynasty army, the people did not know, all the way to the road, all the Tuyuhun people were busy packing their luggage, and had time to drive their cattle and sheep to the mountains on both sides.
Li Wei's words are a naked threat and contempt.
The messenger had no choice but to return to his life.
There is no way to fall Zanpo, the situation is not as good as people, although if he is urgently called, plus Tuqiang's garrison, he can also summon an army of forty or fifty thousand. But are the forty or fifty thousand stragglers the opponents of this Tang Dynasty army? Besides, such a big movement, the Tang Dynasty army in Hedong doesn't know? Once the support comes, the last bit of goods in Qinghai will be gone.
I had to order all the departments not to panic, the Tang Dynasty army is just borrowing the way, and it will not hurt you. But you can't provoke this army either.
After the order was issued, some tribes believed it, some tribes did not, and some tribes even secretly sent people to the barracks to confess their mistakes to Li Weiyi.
Li Wei did not agree, and these messengers fell down and wept.
Only then did he loosen his mouth and said: "You go back first, if you know your mistakes, you will no longer be compared with Tuqiang Peng in the future, and there will definitely be a place for your tribe in Qinghai in the future.
After a few years, it was loosened for the first time. The news quickly spread in Qinghai. Shen Zanpo was ashamed and annoyed, and while sending people to Luoyang, waiting for Li Zhi to come back to Hangzhou to discuss, he reported the situation to Luocheng. It is also a blow to the Zampu Party, seeing that there is no, we Tuqiang took the initiative to negotiate peace, but the emperor of the Tang Dynasty still did not want to let go of our Tuqiang people, not only pulled the various Tuyuhun tribes in Qinghai who were loyal to our Tuqiang, but also provoked us by using the Dao Dafei species. Is this what you want?
Li Wei didn't take it seriously, and set off all the way from Dafei River to Fuluo River. Finally, cross the Ganquan River and reach Xiqing. But he didn't take the Yumen Pass, but Rao Daoyang Pass and went straight to the ancient city of Milan. The geographical location of this ancient city site is very important, there is Danan Mountain in the southeast (referring to the Altun Mountain and the eastern end of Kunlun Mountain, the west end of Qilian Mountain Bianmian Mountain Range), and the northwest has Fengerchen River, which is the only road that leads to the end of the Tang Dynasty Hexi and has many oasis supply. The Han Dynasty was the city of Yixun in Loulan State, and the Han Dynasty had sent a group of generals to lead the troops to this Tuntian valley. Later, when Tuqiang expanded, he occupied this place and built a military fortress. After the defeat of Qinghai, the Tang Dynasty's Western Regions army swept away and recaptured some land. However, further south, a larger fort was built at Ruoqiang Tuqiang. Because the last place was not in the strategic vision of the Tang army for the time being, but after sending troops to clear Tuyuhun and the people loyal to Tuqiang, they withdrew back, so this fort was not recaptured, and continued to remain in the hands of the Tuqiang people. In addition, after the Battle of Qinghai, the focus of the Tang Dynasty was also on the Western Regions, especially Cui Zhizhi's attack on Wuhou Jin Road (West Kunlun's Tuqiang Salt Road), and several fierce battles with Tuqiang's heavy minister Shenzan who stayed in Northern Kunlun, and the news of Zanpu's death came, Shenzan Nie wanted to go back in a hurry to participate in the power struggle, and his mind was uncertain, and he was severely injured by Zhai Zhifen. As a result, Tuqiang had to cede almost all of the occupied land in the Western Regions, and only a small part was retained. So much so that when I thought of this incident many years after falling into the Qin Tomb, I was still resentful.
walked along the Puchang Sea for a while, and practiced the army in front of the Tuqiang Ruoqiang Fort. After scaring nearly a thousand Tuqiang soldiers in the fort to death, he returned to the ancient city of Milan, passed through the wheel, and arrived at Qiuzi.
But in this line, Li Wei found another problem.
At this time, at the end of May, the weather is also hot, and the temperature difference between day and night in various parts of the Western Regions is huge. Each place has its own local climate and environment, such as the hot and humid in the south, the dry and cold ridge in the north, the lack of oxygen in Qinghai, and the huge temperature difference in the western regions. Not all pong pong is suitable for all weather and climate, and not all generals can adapt to it. For example, after Xue Rengui arrived in the southwest, his merits were far worse than those in the north. Wuluo Dongtu Wish, Tuqiang and the future Great Food are all strong enemies, not to Yao Ling, even if the soldiers are not adaptable, they can calmly defeat the other party, but there are only a few generals who can handle the country. Is it possible to let Heiya Changzhi stay in Qinghai for the rest of his life, Wang Fangyi for the rest of his life in the Western Regions, or another general in the north for a lifetime?
Just change it to yourself, don't you feel at ease?
It's not much, you can rotate it calmly. There are so many generals, and they can't be allowed to stay in one place for more than ten years, and if they continue to develop, they will inevitably produce one overlord after another. I had been thinking about this for many years, but with the lack of talent, the problem will become more serious.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at Guo Yuangen, Zhang Zhiyuan, Luo Wuquan, Tang Xiujing, Xue Na and others, only hoping that they could grow up faster. I am not very familiar with Tang Xiujing, Zhang Zhiyuan is familiar with Wang Hui, but I haven't seen their performance in actual combat, and the other people, maybe their qualifications are not bad, and they don't have the ability to do so at the moment. Cheng Wuting made him feel cold, fortunately, there are black teeth Changzhi and Wang Fangyi, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will be overwhelmed. If it continues to develop, it is very likely that every major battle will have to lead the troops to fight by himself, and there will not even be a person to assist in the education of the staff officer.
In the distance, a large crowd came out.
When Bai Suji, the king of Qiuzi, heard that Li Wei was coming, he didn't dare to slack off, and almost led all his courtiers to come to visit.
As Li Wei said, he came to the Western Regions, or Hezhong, to show a kind of caution in the imperial court. Not only did he lead the army, but also his identity. Even if he doesn't come here in the future, the emperor will come in person, and the emperor will kick his legs, and all the rights of the Tang Dynasty will be in the hands of this new emperor. At that time, even his courtiers did not dare to slack off.
This time the emperor came in person, which also represented the attention of the Western Regions during the Tang Dynasty.
I saw it once in Luoyang, and I was half an old acquaintance, so I bowed down and let Li Wei help him up.
Bai Suji said again: "Your Majesty, when I heard that you were coming, the minister specially picked a good horse from the country and presented it to Your Majesty. ”
Qiuzi is a small country rich in the Western Regions, producing rice, millet, silence and wheat, and copper, lead, iron and wax skin, Rao Xi, salt green, orpiment, Hu powder, benzoin, sealing cattle, in addition, it produces good horses, there are a few excellent horse breeds after crossbreeding with large eating horses, no less than the dragon stallion in Qinghai.
Li Wei's war horse in Qinghai was the horse he sacrificed. But later, in the process of escaping, he suffered from the cold and was injured during the battle, so he was put back in the horse house in the East Palace to retire. This expedition is a Qinghai extinguishing horse dedicated by the party members, and it is also Li Wei's third horse.
The Tang Dynasty was heavy on military forces and heavy horses, and there was a statue of Li Shimin who had ridden five war horses before the tomb.
"Oh, let me take a look."
"Hmm."
Bai Suji waved his hand, and a Hu soldier led a red war horse, very tall, with a red mane shining in the sunlight. As if disdainful of the soldiers, he threw his head up high, and his big eyes scanned the crowd contemptuously. Li Wei got off the horse, came to its side, reached out and touched the skeleton, and praised: "Good horse, what is its name?" ”
"I haven't named Yu yet."
"Just call it Danzhong, Bai Suji, I understand your kindness.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Suji was overjoyed. This thing is also quite dignified, just a war horse, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the future Tang Dynasty master's praise, it is too worthwhile.
Then Li Wei was welcomed into the city.
A large banquet was set up to entertain the germanium soldiers, and after the wine and food were full, Bai Suji invited Li Wei to watch the Qiuzi dance. It was a people who loved singing and dancing, and the music of the turtles almost became mainstream music in the Tang Dynasty.
Near the end, Bai Suji approached Li Wei and asked, "Your Majesty, how are the courtiers' music and maidservants' dancing skills?" ”
"Good." I replied casually, but I didn't like it very much in my heart. I prefer the Qingyule played by Geng Onion, and the character is like this. But he didn't dare to make this hobby public, there was a precedent, why did the people of the Tang Dynasty like this kind of noisy music, but the minister did not object. It is because the minister thinks that it is majestic and powerful, and has a passionate voice. However, there are many euphemistic and sad tunes in Qing Yule, and some people will think that it is the sound of the country. The most famous Li Shimin made two prayers, one is born on the night in early autumn, the oblique corridor is connected with the Qi Pavilion, and the early moon shines on the night. The spine is flying fast, and the autumn cicada is late. The dew knot forest sparses the leaves, and the cold light chrysanthemum vomits.
Sorrow coincides with this festival, and it is long to be alone and sad. One is the wild goose, the early autumn jade, the dew, the early goose out of the air. When the clouds are separated, the shadow is chaotic, and the wind is in harmony. It's also not badly written. But as soon as he finished writing, the minister Yu Shinan began to admonish, Your Majesty, Emperor Sui Chang wrote a poem about jackdaws, flowing water Rao Fox Village. Where the sun is about to set, the soul is dimmed. It's even better than your two.
Li Shimin was angry, no matter how you look at it, it's almost the same, why did you come to a better one than mine. Yu Shinan also ignored Li Shimin's feelings and continued, but what happened to Emperor Sui Chang? Looking at Cao Cao's battle of Chibi, he wrote a good poem about Rao Shu and three turns, there is nothing to rely on, and there is really no skill to rely on. This palace prayer of the Southern Dynasty can't be written, and as soon as it is written, there is the sound of the death of the country. It's not a big problem how those shabby scholars want to write, but you are the king of a country.
Li Shimin was helpless, and he had to write in the future, "Heaven is wholeheartedly respectful, and the people think about it." Nashan is loyal to advise, and Ming Ke is cautious and rewarding. Or, "Yang Lu is quiet and quiet, and Ji Shigong is famous." The desolate descendants are dressed in a garment, and the Lingtai is triumphant. "These prayers are boiling, with a little momentum.
This is also why Li Wei's poems were sung all over the world as soon as they came out. At this time, the prayers of the Tang Dynasty were still mainly Yazheng, like Li Zhi's prayers, no matter what the content was, they could not be like the bleak poems of the Southern Dynasty. Li Gan's plagiarized prayers are somewhat detached from elegance and righteousness, and he is not contemptuous of Confucianism. However, the atmosphere is grand and full of passionate sounds, at least better than the palace style poems of the Southern Dynasty.
It's the same with music, you can listen to it, but you can't tell everyone, I like it.
Bai Suji smiled, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what do you think of the dancing girl in the middle?" ”
After Li Wei heard this, he looked at the scene, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, with a goose egg face, a little red makeup painted on her forehead, and a light red on her cheeks, wearing a red dance dress with a gold curtain, her body was graceful and graceful, and her dancing posture was also good. Again casually replied, "Dance very well." ”
"She's the granddaughter of a minister."
Li Wei immediately became alert.
"Your Majesty, she has not been married so far, can she be selected into the East Palace to serve Your Majesty."
Very self-aware, there is no nomination, just to wait.
But Li Wei immediately refused, and there were at least a few thousand influential countries in the Western Regions, large and small, and at least hundreds. Could it be that every country has let their princesses be selected into the harem in order to pull them off? So what became of the harem? Hu Nu Conference?
But the refusal was very tactful: "Bai Suji, yes, I asked the top girl of the party to choose the East Palace." But when Tuqiang asked for peace, I said that harmony is only a kind of expression of goodwill, but it cannot ultimately represent the wishes of both parties. For example, in Tubo, Princess Wencheng married unusually, what consequences did she have? I understand your intentions, but with a party concubine, I already regard all Hu people as a family on my behalf, but there can be no more. Besides, I already have a lot of harem concubines, and if I fill them up, I will either be very thin on them, or I will be suspected of indulging in women.
Bai Suji was a little disappointed.
patted him on the shoulder and said, "Bai Suji, you are doing it, the court is watching, you have done a good job of rebelling twice." Tuqiang invasion, you also did a good job. The imperial court will not forget. But every time he saw Bai Suji, Li Wei thought of one thing. This person also resolutely opposed the Tang Dynasty, but after being defeated by the Tang army, he became very honest. Including language, now Bai Suji is afraid of it, and even the Tang Dynasty dialect is very smooth. This reminds me of the sudden wisher, and the scar is good and forgets the carbuncle.
Bai Suji was slightly disappointed, and Li Wei said a few words of relief gently, and then happily dispersed.
After staying for a day, Li Wei again led his army to Gongyue City, and then to the west bank of Yibohai (Lake Balkhash), which was also the hardest-hit area of the rebellion. The pharyngeal face is scattered in the area from Yibohai to the Aral Sea, but it is not the westernmost area of the Tang Dynasty, after the Aral Sea, there is also the Isa Department, living between the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea (the territory map of the Tang Dynasty in later generations is wrong at this point, the reasonable territory is not only the area from Yibohai to the Aral Sea, it should include some areas in the north of Yibohai, and the farthest should reach the east coast of the Caspian Sea). Therefore, it is also feasible for Li Wei to let the Avars open up the northern shore of the Caspian Sea and connect with the Tang Dynasty.
Because of the arrangement of the Avars, there is no drop in the noodles, and the location of the Isa, the strategic significance has also become extremely important.
As soon as he came to the Western Regions, the first thing Li Wei set out to do was to straighten out his pharynx and summon the leaders of the Isa.
When he came to Gongyue City, Wang Fangyi heard that Li Wei was coming, and he also came to greet him with germanium soldiers.
Li Wei said: "Wang Duhu, in this battle, you will greatly promote the military prestige of my Tang Dynasty." ”
"The minister doesn't dare to be."
"Don't be modest, since Li Jigeran is gone, there are fewer and fewer important generals in the Tang Dynasty who can come in handy. It was a great relief to see a few of you popping up. ”
"Your Majesty......" Wang Fangyi didn't know how to answer.
As a border general is very bitter, like Xiao Siye, for various reasons, it is not a personal mistake, in that case, unless there is Li Jing's ability, it is difficult to have the power to return to heaven, but the late festival is not guaranteed, exiled to the south. Being able to get the emperor's fetal award is the greatest affirmation.
But for Bian Gong, Li Wei did not attach as much importance to Wang Fangyi as he thought. His idea is very realistic, and if he occupies it, he must digest it, otherwise with the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty, only a few years of Guotai Min'an can implement some better policies, except for the difficulty of spitting and eating big food, he can occupy the whole of Asia. But can it be done like that? Once that was done, the Tang Dynasty would not be far from the end of the country.
First of all, you have to hold it, and there are fewer soldiers, like Xiao Siye, who delivers food to the enemy. There are too many soldiers, and the country can't bear it. The larger the territory, the heavier the burden on the state, and eventually it will all collapse. Therefore, he sent troops to the Western Regions this time, firstly, to avoid the bad events that may occur in China, and on the other hand, to make a statement and support to Hezhong, which is more symbolic than practical. It can only be said that it is slightly more positive than his father's attitude.
Domestic development is the real foundation of the country.
There is no need to say this. And for the border generals, some people, such as Zhai Zhibian, the country really treats them lightly.
Wang Fangyi said again: "Your Majesty came in person, and it is just right that the minister can hand over the army." ”
"Where's that?" Li Wei was shocked, he had just come to the Western Regions, and he didn't know much about the situation in the Western Regions, Wang Fangyi's military talents, as well as his familiarity with the Western Regions, were all he needed.
"After the Emperor heard that the ministers had won a lucky victory in Atami, he issued a letter of speech and let the ministers enter the capital to face the saint."
"Let's go" Li Wei immediately pulled Wang Fangyi into the tent, then waved everyone and drove them out, and asked, "Wang Duhu, what is the use of you meeting my father and emperor?" ”
How can your father appreciate you, but his ears and eyes are my great daughter's, you are the closest relative of the queen and the king, with this relationship, will you be reused by your father? Take refuge in me, this is your only way.
I can't say it clearly, but the wisdom that the king wants is enough to understand it.
Wang Fangyi hesitated a little and said, "But Your Majesty, that's the Emperor's words." ”
You can not listen, how can I not listen? Isn't that embarrassing?
