Chapter 437: Holding the Bronze Immortal (2)

Di Hui came forward, and she couldn't let Pei Yuhe continue to talk about it, the more she talked, the worse it became.

With the pregnancy, it was not obvious, so she bowed down and said: "The Queen of Heaven, His Royal Highness also knows, so he asked the Queen of Heaven to solve it." Last year, the imperial court mobilized more than 100,000 troops, but there were many soldiers who were not accustomed to the soil and water, but Tubo was like Dafeichuan at any time, and could mobilize 300,000 or 400,000 troops. The person who commanded the battle was again the Tibetan Tomb of Tanqin. His Highness had no choice but to divide it. But it turned out that the imperial court had lost faith in the party. Since the first year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Taizong has successively appeased the party, and in the fifth year of Zhenguan, Tuoba Chici and other handsome party members have all been reduced, and the number of people attached to it has reached 340,000 (the actual party item must be more than one, so Lao Wu said that there are more than 400,000 people). However, the imperial court has always despised it and did not really divide it into the territory, resulting in the eighth year of Zhenguan when our dynasty conquered Tuyuhun on a large scale, the Chishui Dao general pipe Yan and the general Fan Xing of Zuo Xiaowei entered the party from the south through Songzhou and entered Tuyuhun, and an accident occurred. Chici sent someone to see Daoyan and said, in the past, the Sui Dynasty attacked Tuguhun, and borrowed our way, and our department even supplied its grain and grass to fund the march, but the Sui Dynasty had many captives in our department. Now the general borrows the way, I will help the general, and I will also fund your food and grass. If they continue to plunder and harm the people, I will hold their way and strangle their way back. However, when the two generals arrived at Kuoshui (now Songpanxi), they saw that the party was not equipped and immediately captured thousands of cattle and sheep. As a result, the Chicitun troops and Yehu Gorge sniped our army, resulting in the rout of tens of thousands of troops. However, Chi Ci did not dare to resist stubbornly and turned to fund Tuyuhun. How much is also one of the reasons why Wei Guogong successfully extinguished Tuyuhun. ”

Of course, when the words are turned around, it is a red resignation, otherwise as soon as Li Jing's army returns, the party will also collapse. Compared with Li Jing, Qinling is not a god at all, just a ghost!

However, this matter, the Tang Dynasty did a very unreasonable job, and later Daoyan and Fan Xing were both severely punished by Li Shimin, one was reduced to death, and the other was dismissed. Five years later, Songtsen Gampo crossed the western foothills of Daji Mountain from Wuhai, the same route that Li Wei fled, and invaded Bailan and the party, and the Tang Dynasty did not help. In fact, with the strength of the Tang Dynasty at that time, not in Songzhou, but in Jishi Mountain, you can give the Tubo people a head start.

In short, the party members were attached again, first, a few years ago, the party accepted Li Wei's proposal and was once again wooed, and second, Tubo did not treat them as human beings (note). But there was some hesitation in my heart.

"Well, go on," Wu Zetian's eyes lit up, although this Di Hui was born very cheaply, after all, after a lot of things, he has a lot of eyesight, this statement is quite reasonable.

"The concubine has nothing else to say, only the result. The queen of heaven also saw that the reason for such a great victory, including the escape of His Royal Highness last year, the party members all contributed gravity. Not only now, but also in the future, these party members will continue to be used. On the other hand, Dongnuqiang, on Qinling's invasion of the three states of Jiannan, there were not many local troops, but they made good use of Dongnuqiang, which brought losses to the imperial court. ”

"Even so, there is no need to make a commitment with marriage, there are many promises that can be made, such as official positions, such as place of residence, such as wealth. Marriage, at a loss," Wu Zetian shook his head. It's not that she doesn't want to help, although it is reasonable, but how many defenders are there in the imperial court? This is the bloodline, the dignity of the royal family. The dignity of the royal family represents the dignity of all people in the Central Plains.

These defenders don't care whether you win or lose, Qinghai is the one who wins, and Qinghai is the one who loses, at most they open up a territory and have little to do with the Central Plains. When it comes to such a major event, no matter how brilliant the record is, it should be opposed, and it will inevitably be opposed.

Di Hao said eagerly: "Queen of Heaven, but the first few empress dowagers have Xianbei blood, and the party members are also the descendants of Xianbei people, why not?" ”

"That's different, at that time, the Tang clan had not yet ruled the world, and no matter what clan the empress dowager came from, no one paid attention to it. Now that the Tang clan has entered the world, take a look at His Majesty's harem concubines, are there any Hu people, Qiang people or Fan people? Not only the crown prince, but Xu Jingzong married a daughter, Xue Rengui married a woman, what kind of discussion was there in the court? ”

"Isn't there even a way for the diva?" Shangguan Wan'er asked suspiciously.

"Why do you say that?"

"Concubines often hear His Highness say that the Queen of Heaven is the smartest person in the world."

"Hong'er said that?"

"Yes, Your Highness often mentions it," replied several women in unison.

Sycophancy, everyone likes it, naturally the son said that he was smart, and he had to find a way. Besides, he also sold another favor. After thinking about it for a long time, the result was unthinkable, and said: "There is only one way, taking advantage of the fact that the news has not yet spread, and summon this woman into the East Palace immediately." ”

I had no choice but to use brutal means to directly let the raw rice be cooked rice.

I also felt that the means were not very good, so I couldn't sit down and returned to Daming Palace. But on the way, I thought of one thing, this eldest son, and the second son, do things a little similar to themselves, and in order to succeed, they will do whatever it takes. The second son's heart was darker, and the eldest son's heart was softer. That's the difference.

But as an emperor, it is not possible not to do this.

However, she had doubts about whether she would promise his promise once her eldest son ascended the throne and let her continue to be in charge of the harem. After all, the eldest son is already very old, and it is not impossible to be completely in charge. Moreover, after the First World War, Qinghai quickly entered a period of construction, which will be of great help to the eldest son in dealing with internal affairs in the future. Things in the court are complicated, but Qinghai is not good. It's just that the place is small and the people are few, but it is not simple to have multiple ethnic groups, migrants, Qiang people, prisoners, soldiers, and wars.

Once the eldest son ascends the throne and does whatever it takes to deal with himself, what should he do?

It's still my own good, I got out of Daming Palace and said to Li Shoucheng: "You go to summon Pei Yan, this palace wants to see him." ”

Wang Dezhen is sure that it is over, and he can't keep it if he wants to.

The most hopeful thing is that Wang Dezhen is the prime minister, this person is simple-minded and has no second heart for himself. But because they are too simple, they make many unnecessary mistakes.

Therefore, a new replacement had to be found. Xue Yuanchao is a good man, he is very disappointed, and he will find an opportunity to beat him in the future. Cui Zhiwen also wants to be a good person, but this person is also not suitable. Then only Pei Yan remains.

This person is not small-minded, and he has also noticed it. But my son didn't dare to use it, so he dared to use it.

When Pei Yan arrived, Wu Zetian asked him to sit down and said, "During this time, this palace has seen many of your approved transcripts, and they have handled them properly and done a very good job. It is not in vain that this palace will make a statement in front of His Majesty, so that you will be the prime minister. ”

"The queen of heaven has won the award, this is the minister's duty."

"It's not their own job, Dai Xiang and Zhang Xiang are old, often sick, and their ability to handle political affairs is limited, and the empire will need important ministers to take up the burden of the empire in the future."

"The minister must live up to the trust of the queen of heaven."

"Also, Hong'er has always misunderstood you, but as long as you do your part, I believe Hong'er will eventually appreciate you. As for any conflicts, this palace can also mediate for you. ”

"Thank you, queen."

"The palace sent Li Shoucheng, an internal servant, to Qinghai and had a detailed exchange with Hong'er. You also know Hong'er's nature, although he is good, sometimes he will ignore the subtleties and like to act impulsively. But the first battle in Qinghai made Hong'er grow up very quickly. Therefore, after saying something to Li Shoucheng, the future of the empire is still the current pattern. ”

It's not good to make Li Wei's promise, Wu Zetian continued to govern part of the government, after all, her husband is still alive, and he can live for at least a few years. But when it comes to this, with Pei Yan's IQ, he must hear it. After finishing speaking, he looked at Pei Yan's face from behind the curtain.

I know, otherwise why would Li Shoucheng be sent?

In fact, there is an inside story, it was the little princess who made Li Zhi feel helpless, so he had no choice but to agree, and Li Shoucheng went to play the role of a shield. But this inside story is too child's play, and Li Zhi will not say it.

After hearing this, his face was still surprised.

With the power of the queen and the prestige of the crown prince, once these two join forces, they can overthrow the emperor now. This is simply terrible, thinking of this, he immediately knelt down regardless of his identity and said: "The minister will be grateful to the queen of heaven." ”

That's what I want. Wu Zetian waved his hand and said, "Retreat." ”

Pei Yan stepped back and walked on the road in contemplation. must not stand in the position of the crown prince, so he has to go to the dark with the queen. But worshipping under a woman's pomegranate skirt is to worship completely, and he is unwilling.

After thinking about it for a long time, I had to make a decision. Bow down first and then speak, you can't worship like Wang Dezhen, give people a handle. See for later.

The great victory has been posted, and Chang'an City is overjoyed.

After more than a year of war, I finally realized that I had made a serious mistake in the past. It turned out that the Tuyuhun people were not all allies, they were divided into two factions, and all the people living west of Chiling were the sworn enemies of the Tang Dynasty, no less than the Tubo people. Only the Tuyuhun people in Nuo Haobo are pro-Tang.

But this battle not only defeated the Tubo people, but also almost wiped out the Tuyuhun puppet regime. If the country does not die, there are not many people left.

As for the reason why they were able to win, it was that the Tibetans could not fight and were forced to withdraw the main force, but no one paid attention to it. That was also a defeat, a defeat to the national strength of the Tang Dynasty.

King Yong's Mansion was lifeless.

Make the conspiracy good, but in the face of absolute strength, no skill is equal to zero.

Zhang Da'an said: "Mr. Li, your strategy seems to be effective, and Wang De may really be dismissed in a few days." Just ......"

Duan Fuqing was dumbfounded at this time, a very smart person, he didn't expect Qinghai to be defeated so quickly.

Not only was Qinghai defeated, a large number of people migrated, and his family was still in Tuyuhun Wangcheng, I don't know if the Tang army would conquer it. was so confused that he couldn't help but ask: "Why did the prince join forces with the party members?" ”

"This was a matter of the early years, very early on, the prince had proposed to win over some tribes in Tibet, such as Dangxiang, or Subi, Duomi, Yangtong, and Zhangxiong. It may not succeed, it may make them have two hearts, and the Tibetan people will have no cohesion. Then he went to Qinghai, secretly found the party members, and successfully rebelled. Last autumn, the crown prince captured the Jiuqu Military City and Hongji Bridge, but in fact there were not many troops dispatched, and they were all secretly drawn from various party departments. ”

"I see," Duan Fuqing said in a low voice.

The approximate path taken by the Tang Dynasty, calculated by Qinling, can be very admired, how to hide from the party members, or their own people, this is very capable. Later, there was an idea, thinking that it gave the party members benefits, so the party members took cover, and at this time, they couldn't care about it, they tore their faces, and it was possible to completely give hundreds of thousands of party members to the Tang Dynasty, so they couldn't bear to mention it. But this is still very capable. I never thought that since last year, the party members would "defect" so quickly.

Zhang Da'an doesn't know his identity, the more powerful the prince, the more dangerous the position of King Yong, and he expects this strange man to think of any more tricks. Therefore, he told what he knew and asked, "Could it be that Mr. Li is also good at military strategy?" ”

Knowing that he had lost his temper, he said, "Not long, not long, but the more I know, the better my strategy will be." Xianggong, continued. ”

Later, when the prince met with the Qinling, he also confused this Tibetan theory. The real attempt is to emigrate and to use the party to attack from inside and outside. The Great Theory of Tibet did not expect it. In fact, when the prince broke through last year, his subordinates brought a blueprint drawn by the prince. ”

"What blueprint?"

"This is a sketch, it is classified, and it is placed in the military department. The above is the prince's three-step plan, the first step is to win the Jiuqu, the second step is to win the party, with the big stone mountain as the Great Wall, to build a checkpoint, so that the land of Qinghai west of the Yellow River belongs to my court. You can also get tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the party, these soldiers are not afraid of the cold, they are loose and despised by Tibet, so they have not formed combat effectiveness. In fact, the original practice of our dynasty and the practice of Tibet are all wrong. ”

"Yes," Duan Fuxiu was extremely bitter in his heart, and asked again, "What about the third step?" ”

"The third step is to take the white lanqiang."

"Bai Lanqiang? Why, don't you want Qinghai? ”

"At that time, I didn't understand, although the prince hindered His Highness's future, I have to admit that his vision is very long-term," Zhang Da in order to deal with the prince, he revealed everything he knew to the strange person in front of him.

After taking a sip of tea, he sorted out his thoughts before he said: "Although the prince won a complete victory this time, there is no way to move all the people of Tuyuhun to Lingzhou. ”

"Yes," this reason does not need to be explained by Zhang Da'an, Duan Fuqing can also know. The time can't be long, as soon as the troops are scattered, once Da Lun returns and quietly leads a large army, this Tang army is scattered in all directions of Qinghai, it will be dangerous. So Prince Tang said the limit of one month. Don't give the big talk a chance.

But for a month, even Dafeichuan and Haibei, the Tang Dynasty did not want to empty it. The people are willing, but are the nobles willing? Go to Lingzhou and die!

"Because of this hatred, the rest of Qinghai is even more hostile to me. Besides, if you really move all the Tuyuhun people to Lingzhou, how to settle them, just supply, the court can't afford to pay for it. So there were still a great number of people who remained in their place. Once settled, there will be internal strife, the territory is wide, and fighting on the high ground will be unfavorable to our dynasty. So throw Qinghai away first. ”

"Then why attack Bai Lanqiang?"

"Mr. Li, haven't figured it out yet? The reason is very simple, Bai Lanqiang is not as good as the original, I built a closed city again, can advance or retreat, some soldiers who are not afraid of the cold, as well as party soldiers, can be pulled and pressed, a few years later, the little Bai Lanqiang will either be convinced, or perish. Then build the city and build it to the purple mountain pass. Blocking the way of the Tubo army, the battle was placed on the Qiang land at the eastern foot of Zishan to fight, the terrain was low, our soldiers adapted, and there were many high mountains and dangerous mountains, and our Tang Dynasty defended the city with weapons far more than the equipment of the Tubo people. The attack could not be attacked, and if it was not attacked, the Tubo people blocked, and the remnants of Tuyuhun had to surrender when Nuo Haobo led the people to return. Qinghai completely belongs to our dynasty. And under poverty, you can once again win over the Domi, Subi and other ministries. In more than ten or twenty years, the Tibetan people themselves will automatically disintegrate. ”

Not only did this guy say it, but he was afraid that Duan Fuxiu wouldn't understand, so he gave a detailed explanation!

: I saw some people saying that Songtsen Gampo annexed the party and changed its name to Yaoyao, which brought the two ethnic groups closer together. One of the five concubines of Songtsan was Ru Yongfei, the daughter of the King of Medicine at that time, and Jie Mozun. I didn't download this paper, after all, these professional papers are very unpopular, and most of them cost RMB to download. But Lao Wu is very puzzled, the party departments are very loosely organized, how can there be a medicine king? Even at that time, Tuoba Chi was the leader of the party and did not dare to call himself the king of the party. Looking at the later, it turned out that there were a large number of party members in Tuyuhun, otherwise it would be impossible for 30,000 party members to invade Liangzhou. Later, because of the miserable situation, all of them moved to the area of Jishi Mountain. Then he forced it, and almost moved to the area of Lingzhou, Xiazhou and Liuhu Prefecture. Is this called intimacy?

One more thing, many people say that Tibet resisted the eastward movement of the Great Food. I read a lot of professional books, although I read them like swallowing dates, but I only saw that most of the time Tubo tacitly offset the deterrent power of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions with the Great Food, even if it was rubbed, it was just goosebumps. However, Gao Xianzhi really came to fight. Besides, Da Shi has the ability to go from the plateau to Anxi, or Qinghai, after more than 10,000 miles? Why so many strange statements, I don't understand.
