Chapter 59 Under the Joke of Feng Zen

At sunset, the ancient city wall of the ancient city in the clouds is shrouded in a dusk, and a large desert has not yet formed outside the city. But in this lonely and desolate place, the ancient city in the clouds looks solemn and solemn, with a trace of vicissitudes.

It was time to close the city, and the center of the rebellion revolved around this ancient border town, but in the eye of the storm, all the important members of the Asid people went out to contact the various tribes. In turn, the city was not lost in the rebellion, and therefore was not damaged by the fighting.

Most of the troops in the city are garrisoned, and there are many people who make a living from commerce, using the special products of the grassland, exchanging a large number of goods from the Central Plains, and making a living by going back and forth. There are also a small number of inns and liquor stores. In addition to the inn and liquor store, it is also time for the other shops to close.

Astheimer, who ran the cloth shop, was about to lock up his silk shop when suddenly a figure stopped in front of him.

He raised his head, with a burst of surprise in his eyes, then looked around vigilantly, pulled the person into the store immediately, hurriedly closed the shop, sat down and asked, "What about the master?" ”

"He's okay, how are you in the city?"

"As before, we can be more or less implicated, and the Tang Army is not as good as it used to be for our people." As soon as he spoke, he asked, "Where is the master?" ”

"He's in Wolf Mountain, but he's not here now, and he's about to return, and I'm here to help you." The comer said what he meant again.

Li Zhi did not understand military affairs, and thought that the Turks should be honest if they defeated the Turks easily this time. But it ignores the blind obedience of the people, as well as the people's all-round vision of the overall situation. As a high ruler, he can clearly know all kinds of news, whether he can fight or not, or whether he can rebel or not. But where can the people know? Just like the barbarians in the south, how many people have died when they rebel and sometimes fall, their strength is weak, loose, and they have no ability to respond, but has the rebellion really been quelled?

This is not the year, the Tang Dynasty army was defeated again and again, and every household in the grassland was injured. Nearly fifty years have passed, and the Turks have long recovered their vitality, although they were defeated, the Tang army did not kill many soldiers, and their vitality was not seriously damaged.

After Asdwinbo fled to Wolf Mountain, he reflected on it again. There are many lessons learned, and there are many reasons for the miserable defeat this time. If you make a mistake in strategy, you are a nation of the steppe and a nation on horseback, and if you can fight it, you will fight it, and if you can't beat it, you will flee to the depths of the desert. However, his heart was too big, and he actually leaned on Montenegro with his back, wanting to fight to the death with the Tang army. It was the initiative to give up his strengths and choose his weaknesses to fight against the Tang Dynasty army. As a result, people were stunned with a pack of fire.

The decisive battle of 10,000 people is another wrong decision. I lost badly at the time, I didn't expect it, but when I thought about it afterwards, it wasn't very right, nearly half of the people in it were not real Han people, and when I think about it, I knew that it was a party member. This reaction met the troops of Jin Rui of the Tang Dynasty, although the soldiers under his command were brave, but they lacked actual combat experience, so they were defeated so miserably. In fact, the Tang Dynasty army did not have such a strong combat effectiveness. On the contrary, as he expected, the combat effectiveness was indeed declining, otherwise he would not have dispatched 300,000 Tang Dynasty troops to deal with him.

In the past, whether it was Tuli and Jieli Khan, or Tiele's Xue Yantuo Department, how many troops would the Tang Dynasty send out?

Really? Without Huo Yà and the party fighters, Pei Xingjian didn't defeat them?

I think I have figured it out, under the sojourners of Wolf Mountain, I have received some small white eyes from the Qarlu people, and the Gelulu department is also worried, what if I let the Tang Dynasty know after being taken in? If it goes on like this, it will not be a long-term solution, and it will be rebellious, but this time it will be smarter, if you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't, you will flee to the depths of the desert. The desert is so big, where to find a small army? It is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to concentrate 300,000 troops every moment to defend itself, and no matter how rich and there are people, it will not be able to bear it.

So he sent envoys to Tibet and the Western Turks to see if they could find Ashinaduzhi and Li Shalu's capable subordinates, and rebelled again. Although the Tang Dynasty is strong, it can't stand up to the wolves, you gnaw it, I bite it, the Tang Dynasty has to accept the re-emergence of our Turks. We have to join forces, put aside our preconceptions, and do things together. We also sent an envoy to Tibet, and we responded to your proposal and rebelled, but you Tubo also had to do it, is Qinghai so miserable, you don't want to recover?

He also sent some important henchmen to secretly contact the ministries again. However, the effect was not great, and the twenty-four states were all rebelled, and the number of rebel troops once reached hundreds of thousands, and he and the two of them called the army 400,000, which is an exaggeration. But the total number of rebels also reached more than 200,000 troops. Lost at once, and without Ashina's capable people as the leader, many tribes expressed silence.

So I came up with another plan.

Again, the Turks did not have a real victory from the frontal battlefield and lacked confidence. Hundreds of thousands of Tang Dynasty troops couldn't deal with it, so they focused their eyes on the ancient city in the clouds, Cheng Wutin, the Tang Dynasty garrison.

With few people and easy to defeat, the ancient city in the clouds concentrated a lot of grain, grass, weapons and materials in order to guard against the Turkic tribes. Moreover, the ancient city in the clouds is an important city on the south side of Yin Mountain, and the significance of winning it is not trivial. This sent his important henchmen and generals Ashina Gu Lu to sneak back to the ancient city of Yunzhong, seeking the response of the people in the city.

After listening to General Gu Lulu's words, Ashdeheimer said: "General Gu Lulu, I'm afraid it's not easy, I don't know much about marching and fighting, but I can watch this general of the Tang Dynasty govern the army rigorously, and it is not easy to be with him." ”

"No matter how rigorous he is, he has never fought in Qinghai, and there are few soldiers."

It seems to be right, the army of the Tang Dynasty can handle nothing more than the soldiers of Qinghai. Originally, he selected the fierce young men of the world to go to Qinghai, and after more than a year of long and non-stop battles, his strength was still among his own people. But Qinghai only had tens of thousands of garrisons, and his own master contacted the Tubo people, and the Tang Dynasty army had to defend it, so there was still hope for the restoration of the country......

So he said, "Okay, I'll do my best." ”

After finishing the business, the wine and the joy of talking, to the restoration of the homeland, Ashina Gulu is also a dream in his heart, thinking of the hardships of more than a year, he couldn't help but drink too much, and sang in a low and hoarse voice:

"Tang Dynasty people, you attack the Khitans from the south, you attack me from the east, the Tiele people, and attack the mouth of the simulated enemy from the north

…… We sent ten arrows to the Western Turks, and we also sent troops, and we followed them, crossed the Pearl River, crossed the Heavenly Sacred Mountain, and we reached the Iron Iron.

…… You can go that way, so I said to the Khan, I let the army go, and we crossed the river, and the Turks are very famous for a song, which can be seen in the monument of the Valley of Desire."

At least for now, it seems that the road to restoration is very long and far away, and the Tang Dynasty supported the weapons of the Hui people, which is a very small event, and it has a great impact on the grassland, and it is impossible for Gu Dulu not to know it. The Khitan and the Xi people were repeated in front, and Tang Xiujing was embarrassed in the back, and immediately surrendered and changed the direction of the wind.

There is little hope of success in recovering the country.

The only good thing is that Wen Bo can make some articles on this matter, the Tiele people have a feud with the Turks, and today the Tang Dynasty vigorously supports the Tiele tribes, especially the sworn enemy Hui Ministry, and if you don't rebel, you don't want to have a good life after that, and it really makes some tribes ready to move again.

After only a few months of lull, the storm began again.

However, Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty sang and danced to the level, and he didn't know it at all.

……

Bringing two cups of chilled sour plum soup, Zheng Gongchu walked in cautiously.

"Ice just taken from the ice cellar, Your Majesty, Wanyi, have a drink to relieve the heat."

Li Wei was frightened, and Zheng Gongchu didn't dare to make a sound. But after living in the East Palace for a while, he knows some of Li Wei's rules, but his mind is not stupid, and under the seemingly superficial fairness, Li Wei still has some preferences, such as Bi'er, and this angry little cousin Guan Wan'er, who is only one year older than him.

The former is a relationship that has grown up since childhood, and the latter is amazing.

I didn't dare to think that they had a low status, so I was slow.

Li Wei put down the fold in his hand and said, "Put it down, Chu'er, I have something to say to you." ”

"Your Majesty, please command."

"Don't be so restrained, I don't blame you for this incident. After all, you are still young and do not know the sinister nature of human feelings. With your families, I have always been not evil, and everyone has cooperated to make this country strong, and your families can enjoy the opportunities brought by the country's stability and peace for a long time. This is cooperation, and there must be some calculations. But it doesn't matter...... But you have entered the East Palace, and he is also the master of the harem in the future, so you have to think about me. Once you think of your family, not only in your family, but also in your family names, the relationship is intricate, and one family can often represent several families. Then it will not only thwart some of my plans, but the gains outweigh the losses, and it will also interfere with the peace of the harem, which I cannot tolerate. ”

"Yes."

"Sit, you're still young after all, you don't know. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, the most important thing is to know that mistakes can be corrected. ”

It came down, it was quiet, not like her xen.

Li Wei smiled again and said, "I've also been in the East Palace for a long time, can you get used to staying here?" ”

"Concubine habits."

"Get used to it," Li Wei said to Yan Yue again.

But Zheng Gongchu changed his words and said: "It's Your Majesty who is angry and scares the concubines." ”

"Hehe," Li Wei Yile.

This is a real family girl, elegant and generous, but after all, she is a person. After the period of time, although the family background is good, the world affairs may not be able to fully understand. It is possible that the Zheng family has instructed it, but the idea is not yet mature. is not like Guan Wan'er, who grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, and grew up in a sinister environment when she was a child, so she has a lot of thoughts. The East Palace that Zheng Gongchu saw was only the tip of the iceberg of the harem. Under their own suppression, the East Palace is not like a normal harem, dark and gloomy, and everyone is at least maintaining a superficial harmony...... But how much can it be kept, Li Wei himself is doubting.

After thinking about it, he said, "Come on, go to the Sifang Pavilion and call the envoys of the Avars and the Principality of Satsuma to see you." ”

The envoys who attached importance to this time, the first was the Byzantines, and they wanted to use the Byzantines to restrain the expansion of the Great Cannibals, as long as the Byzantines and the Great Cannibals were entangled and it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat, the Great Eclipse would not really expand to the middle of the river. If you do it properly, you can become two tigers fighting, and there will be a hurt ending. Then it is possible that the influence of the Tang Dynasty will really reach the Persian Gulf.

It's just that he regrets that he doesn't have a good knowledge of science, and he doesn't remember much knowledge, otherwise he would have been able to exploit oil in advance, so the meaning of taking it up is only to keep the river area safe. At best, it is possible to take the Punjab region......

The second is the Avars.

The Principality of Satsuma has developed to this day, and its strength is already in the hands of the Avars, but they are actively assimilating to Europe, and they are courting Byzantium and the Catholic Church. Counting on them to turn into barbarians and mess Europe up, it may not be a big deal. However, I also paid a little attention to it.

How to say, in their bloodline, there is also the blood of Asian nomads, and they can climb the relationship.

But the Avars, who attach great importance to the future of Europe and want to defuse the future threat to Europe in advance, are now a good opportunity. Byzantium had already begun to fall, and the future of Europe was the progenitor of Germany, France, Italy, and even England and Spain in this Frankish kingdom.

But he doesn't remember this history of Europe clearly, otherwise he would have to pay attention to another barbarian, the Slavs, who in the future Slavs had a lot of influence.

During this time, I was summoned three or four times.

In order to win over, Li Wei did not hesitate to start from the ancestral bloodline, and almost said, we were a family five hundred years ago. The bloodline of this Xianbei person has many functions. For example, with this bloodline, it can be well integrated with the party members, as well as the current big layout.

These envoys were dizzy and flattered, regardless of east, west, north and south.

I also have to do it, my father is preparing to discuss the matter of sealing Zen again, whether it can be sealed or not, most of these envoys will return to their homeland. Zheng Gongchu pinched the corners of his clothes and just chuckled.

"Do you think I'm saying something out of line?"

"No," is clearly duplicitous.

"I am the head of a country, thinking about the long-term development and future of the country, and the people. Politics is also like fighting with the army, the positive and the strange complement each other, the positive is the main, and the strange is the supplement. Some things need to be a little more slick and flexible, and I don't want that false reputation. Just like your big family, you also want fame, but when it comes to the interests of your family, sometimes you will put down your frame...... These two are the same truth. ”

"Yes."

After talking for a while, the envoys of the two countries arrived.

was negotiating, and the eunuch from the Yang Palace called him over to discuss the matter.

Come to Yang Palace.

It's a stack of military newspapers, but good news.

Ashstewinbo thought hard for a long time and decided to open a breakthrough from the ancient city in the clouds. But he met a tough opponent. When July came, he once again led the soldiers of various tribes to surround the ancient city in the clouds, and the various departments were scattered, and even Cheng Wu Tin did not know how many people there were in the rebels.

But there are many rebels who can surround the ancient city in the clouds.

However, Cheng Wutin calmly responded to the battle, sent someone to inform Daizhou Assassin Dou Huaizhe, and then before Ashdeheimer and others could make an internal response, and before they could join forces inside, they decisively captured the various clansmen who remained in the city, interrogated them one by one, and quickly executed.

This was also the usual policy of the Tang Dynasty, targeting the customs of the Turkic people. The Turks had just made the transition from slavery to feudalism, and the phenomenon of the people's respect and inferiority was more serious than that of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore you can kill the people, but do not kill their chiefs.

Without internal response, Ashdwinbo and the rebel generals were a little weak-hearted. At this time, Dou Huaizhe led the army to arrive, and Cheng Wutin opened the city, which in turn became a combination of internal and external forces, and the Tang Dynasty army that stayed behind was also very strong and broke the rebels. Ashdwinbo had no choice but to flee to the desert with the remnants.

Clever up. If you can beat it, you can fight, and if you can't beat it, you will flee immediately. When you get to the desert, where to find a remnant army? It was he who fled to Wolf Mountain, and the Tang Dynasty also knew the inside story of the matter after a long time.

After Li Wei saw it, Li Zhi smiled and said, "Hong'er, what do you think of this?" ”

"I don't know." His father wanted to build up his career, but Li Wei took the initiative to avoid it.

"Although I am not as good as you in terms of military affairs, I am just a group of clowns who jump off the beam, and I want to be arrogant in Yelang?"

Li Wei didn't say anything. He and Pei Xingjian both believed that the Turks had recuperated after so many years, and this rebellion was not trivial. So the attitude is very cautious, my father's words, I don't know if there is any extraneous voice, thinking that he and Pei Xingjian are making a big fuss.

After Li Zhi finished speaking, he didn't take it seriously, it was a small rebellion of various southern bureaucrats, and the Turks were easily defeated by the Tang Dynasty army again and again, didn't it also show the strength of the Tang Dynasty army? He also said: "August is coming, the wind and rain are smooth, Hong'er, what do you think of what I said about sealing Zen?" ”

"Father, the son doesn't know, all listen to the father."

"And what about the opinions of the secretaries?"

I don't agree very much, but the main prime ministers, Pei Yan and Xue Yuanchao, are on the side of the two ancestors, and they can't refute it, so they have to look left about him. Liu Renliang and Li Yiyan were very opposed in their hearts, but the emperor supported the emperor to build a navy, and the ransom was completed, and the payment was made first, and the emperor also wanted to ship the goods. Therefore it is not possible to make a sound.

Cui Zhiwen secretly showed favor to Li Wei, but he maintained a neutral image on the surface, lowered his head and remained silent.

However, Wei Tongxuan said eagerly: "The minister thinks it's still inappropriate, once he canons Zen, he will work hard and lose money, and it won't do much good to the country......"

The five important prime ministers were silent, and the opposition of the four ordinary ministers was also weakened. Besides, they were still transferred by Li Zhi. Otherwise, take a look at the court, like Pei Xingjian has made such a great contribution, and he has not yet been appointed as the prime minister.

However, there are some ministers in the DPRK and China who think it is okay.

In the midst of the great victories of the Tang Dynasty army, the country was rarely in good weather, the price of corn fell to only six or seven cents per bucket of rice, and the treasury was very sufficient. And in the past, huge sums of money were allocated to redeem many parts, which is good governance.

Although local officials are not very cooperative, large households are not cooperative. Even deliberately stirred up the people and demonized the Jiuqu of Hehuang, but there were many parts of the poor people who still heard the news of Qinghai's bumper harvest from some channels, and were willing to go because of the compulsion of life. Every great victory of the Tang Dynasty army also increased their determination to go to Qinghai.

The autumn harvest did not come, and 60,000 or 70,000 people were redeemed one after another, plus some poor people who had no land and little land, and 10,000 people went to Qinghai again. Not only is it plugged, but it also alleviates the pressure of poverty and inequality to a greater or lesser extent.

The Tang Dynasty now looks very beautiful on the surface.

The only bad thing is that the Danshui Canal is huge, and it will be completed in two or even three years.

The emperor is bent on sealing Zen, and if he really wants to find a reason, it can be established.

As a result, there were more ministers who defected and agreed to the confession.

In August, when more and more ministers agreed to seal the Zen, and were also preparing to discuss the matter of the canonization, the Turks finally slapped the so-called Zen with a slap in the face, bringing great humiliation to this so-called Zen.

Cheng Wutin's victory also exposed a fatal weakness. The combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty army is still not strong, such a Jin army, such a strong general. After defeating Ashdwinbo, he couldn't pursue. Changing the Tang Army a few decades ago, it is unimaginable. Seeing that Li Jing did not, the 3,000 Tang Army, and the first battle of Mayi Shuo County, he dared to chase Jieli to the southwest of Erenhot. Subsequently, Li Ji started from Yunzhong Africa is the ancient city in Yunzhong, referring to the Yunzhong area, the Datong area, the battle in the north of Baidao Hohhot, and chased to the north of Tieshan Yin Mountain.

Not only to see this weakness.

Tubo brought good news again, but the envoy did not return, and I don't know if it was because Tubo took the initiative to cooperate, or because the envoy negotiated the result. On Zanpo actually took the initiative to lead the remnants of Tuyuhun and the garrison of Tubo to launch a counterattack against Hehuang. At first, the Tang Dynasty army was a little unexpected, and actually achieved some victories. However, there are many things in Tibet, and the old jān of Qinling is slippery, and at this time, he doesn't want to fight with the Tang Dynasty army, and wants to be a fisherman, which is to be the same.

The scale of the invasion was not large, and it was immediately extinguished by the army led by the Black Tooth Tsuneyuki. On the defeat of Zanpo, he fled to the city of Tuyuhun again. It didn't cause much damage to Hehuang, but it only added a merit to Li Zhi to seal the Zen. But it was not without effect, far away, the news was not so well-informed, only that the Tibetans were counterattacking, and this news once again inspired many Turks.

But Ashdwinbo reflected again, this time the attack on the ancient city in the clouds failed, or he was careless, and the army was small, if it was an elephant, the ancient city in the clouds would be taken down this time. It was because of his lack of appeal, and then he sent someone to Xiazhou to welcome back a person, Ashina Fu Nian.

Jieli Khan's eldest brother Shibi Khan grew up to be rich, and the second desire valley was set. The second brother is Luo Khan, and the second is Ashina Sheer. These people have all descended to the Tang Dynasty, the Tuli tribe is placed in Ashina Prefecture, the Desire Valley is placed in Liangzhou, the Ashina Sheer Department is placed in Lingzhou, and the Yu Shot is placed in Xiazhou. Ashina Fu Nian is the length of Yu Shot, and the appeal is in Ashina's mud and ripeness. persuaded for a long time, although he also wanted to recover the Turks, but the Tang Dynasty has always been very good to Ashina.

But after the ghost I knows, he actually agreed to come down.

Welcoming this person back, coupled with his repeated encouragement, there was another big storm in Monan, and the scale was no less than last year.

If you want to seal Zen, only Wenzhi martial arts have reached the peak and are qualified to go to Zen. Just like Li Zhici sealed Zen and pacified Goryeo, although the Western Regions Tubo was faintly counterattacking, but at that time did not think of the consequences, thinking that it was a "contradiction among the people", Su Mo Yan came to surrender again, the Khitan was subdued, and the Xi people also submitted to the imperial court, so that the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the east reached the Han River, Baekje and Su Mo Shui in the middle of Jilin, and most of the river sections disappeared today. Persia came to the west, reaching the Aral Sea, approaching the Persian Gulf, and the northern territory reached the Angara River in the Gyne, the southern part of the Central Siberian Plateau. The prosperity of the territory has not been seen since ancient times. The country is also competitive, the wind and rain are smooth, and the price of grain has rarely exceeded 10 cents per bucket of rice.

So the Zen one.

However, this time and again, the big storm was not brought up, no one thought of it, but once it was proposed, many people thought that this was a farce of the emperor, a big joke.
