Who was the most stressed emperor in the history of the Tang Dynasty? Absolutely Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi is the only one.

In front, there is a wise and martial Emperor Taizong Emperor Li Shimin pressed, behind him, and the ancient heroine, his more vicious and clever wife Wu Zetian shined, in the actual sense Li Zhi is still a quite accomplished emperor, the rule of Yonghui continued the prosperity of the early Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong did not conquer Goguryeo was taken by him, but unfortunately the two eternal pressure, Li Zhisheng fell into the eyes of posterity a cowardly, inactive image of a busy person.

Now in Damin, Li Jin's situation is actually similar to Li Zhi, or even worse, Li Zhi is the son-in-law, the third son of the eldest grandson of the main palace, although Li Jin's mother's family is noble, the royal family of the Southern Dynasty, the Lanling Xiao family of the Jiangzuo family, but after all, his mother Xiao Shufei Xiao Man'er is not the main palace, and he belongs to the concubine in terms of identity, or the second son.

The primogeniture inheritance system is deeply rooted in China, even if the Great Min is established in a foreign land, it is the Central Plains scholars who form the pillars of the country after all, and the foreign families that are absorbed must also be awarded official positions according to the degree of Tang Dynasty, and the power to support the primogeniture inheritance system is even more indestructible.

If it weren't for Li Rang's cowardice to disappoint the ministers and the King of Min, the great sin of abandoning the country, it would not have been Li Jin's turn to become the crown prince anyway.

But the wind direction has gradually changed over the years, Li Jie once again attached importance to Li Ranglai, gave him soldiers, gave him territory, the most fatal is the last purge, although it has its own political purpose, many families have been politically purged under the banner of supporting the prince, and it still greatly touches Li Jin's status.

Politics is like this, it is always a balance, it seems to be fair, in fact, where the weight falls, even if Li Jie does not have the heart of Yi Chu, and has compensated the prince and strengthened the status of the prince, there are still many family wall-riding factions in the court who have biased their focus to Li Rang, the king of Hezhong County.

If this goes on for a long time, under the effect of the primogeniture inheritance system, Li Rang will sooner or later shake his status as the prince.

With a meritorious Taizu Li Jie on his head, who opened up a new world in the wilderness, and the eldest brother of his eldest son, even if Li Jie and Li Jin revealed their future plans, if they didn't do anything, Li Jin could still feel a strong sense of crisis.

But Li Jin can't learn from Prince Yin, Li Chengqian, the king of Juli County, rebelled like that, on the one hand, the whole country is the old department of the King of Min and rebelled? There are no important ministers in the court like Hou Junji to support him. On the other hand, Li Jie's education method is different.

Unlike other princes in the Tang Dynasty, who left their parents at a few years old to open a palace and go to school independently, Li asked Li Jin and Li Chenxi to have several other children, but Li Jie personally watched them grow up, and the relationship between father and son is stronger than the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and Li Jin can't step through the hurdle in his heart.

Last time, he actively defended Tibet and safeguarded the interests of Min in exchange for the hope of the government and the wilderness, this time, Li Jin's bet was pressed on the war in the middle of the river.

The affection with Li Chenxi is on the one hand, and the political needs are also on the other, even Li Jin can't tell which is more important in his heart, but fortunately, the two goals are the same orc male and female this time.

Now that the goal of rescuing Li Chenxi has been achieved, and the attraction of the Tubo people to the predetermined battlefield through Li Chenxi has also been achieved, even if the princess escapes from marriage, the Tubo people have already touched the bottom line of Da Min with such a large army, and war is inevitable, Li Jin also slid his head to win the moral height for Da Min.

didn't catch him Li Jin, who dares to say that Damin is the mastermind behind the robbery of his own family and his team? However, the large-scale southward movement of Tibet is real.

It's a pity that even if Li Jin's goals have been achieved so far, he is still facing extremely huge pressure, there are more than 10,000 soldiers of the Iron Army left behind in the Hezhong Protectorate, 20,000 soldiers from Punjab, only half of them have been brought, and there are 10,000 soldiers of Tielin, the most elite king of Fujian in Damin, that is, all the cards in Li Jin's current hand, but he has to face the fierce attack of 110,000 Tubo.

Near the ancient river channel in the valley where the two armies faced each other, you can faintly see rangers cruising nearby, those are the sentry posts of the Sogdian countries with the surname of Zhaowu and the nomadic tribes, and the brazen invasion of Tibet has shaken the authority of the protectorate of the river capital, coupled with the inaction of the Great Min for more than two months, so that many Central Asian countries have fallen into wait-and-see.

This battle can be said to be a decisive battle, defeated, Da Min can continue to command the Central Asian coalition army, and finally beat the Tubo people back to the plateau, and Li Jin is estimated to be able to obtain the title of the prince of defending the land, and the popularity has soared. After the defeat of the war, the authority established by the Great Min in Central Asia collapsed, and most of the weak Zhaowu Jiu surnames took refuge in the Tubo Empire as in history, and the Hezhong Protectorate was completely lost, and he, Li Jin, would be a sinner.

Mountain attack is not a method of warfare that the Tubo people are good at, so this time, Mangsong Mangzan is rare not to rush, the Tubo army slowly and methodically began to deploy in the river valley, with the expansion of the Tubo formation bit by bit, Li Jin, who was still relaxed just now, felt the mountain-like pressure slowly attacking him, looking at the Tubo army that gradually filled every gap, sweat beads continued to slide down from his forehead.

"Let's go down to the front line too!"

At this tense moment, there was another noise, which made Li Jin turn his head impatiently, but it was the eldest grandson Fu who stopped the limping Song Jing and the old sister Li Chenxi, who was in tattered and messy clothes, and at this time, Li Jin had a little headache.

"Today's wars are all because of the two of us, since we can't marry Tibet as a princess, then let's fight for the encirclement of Fujian like a Great Min warrior, let us also go to the front line!" Seeing Li Jin turn around, far away, Li Chenxi shouted, and Song Jing was even more silent and hugged his fists, and the responsibility of that kind of man was fully displayed.

sighed helplessly, I couldn't tell Li Chenxi about political matters, Li Jin walked over with a headache, and shouted sadly: "Sister, don't make a mess, okay, where can I let you go into battle as a woman."

But these words made Li Chenxi feel that Li Jin was looking down on him, so he casually pulled out a horizontal knife from the waist of the guard next to him, and skillfully pulled a knife flower, Li Chenxi shouted angrily: "Don't underestimate me!" Your sister and I have also been on the battlefield to kill people, the Great Min Clan, there is no bad seed, you stinky boy is not the opponent of the county lord! ”

When she was a child, Li Jin was really cleaned up by this girl, looking at Li Chenxi's proud appearance, Li Jin couldn't help but have a headache even more.

Just when Li Jin had a headache in organizing language, the sudden commotion suddenly broke out in the front army of the Great Min, and the Tielin Warrior Shield Formation of the Fujian Army, which was still as stable as Mount Tai just now, actually shook slightly.

"Prince, look!"

Tielin General Pei Xingjian shouted anxiously, his heart tightened, and he didn't have the heart to entangle with Li Chenxi anymore, he pulled through the binoculars, and Li Jin looked towards the battlefield again.

It is true that the war situation changes rapidly, and the historical Tubo can quickly rise into a large empire in Central Asia also has its uniqueness, in addition to the warlike fanaticism of the Tubo people, there are also some unique weapons of their own nation.

Yak new smile proud of Yang Xiaocong! War Dogs!

In a short period of time, after training, with sharp knives tied to the horns of their heads, thousands of yaks were driven to the middle of the river valley facing the Min army on the hillside, and the subordinate slave soldiers were still tying strips of cloth stained with fierce fire oil to the tail of the oxen.

A thousand years ago, Tiandan 500 fire cattle defeated the Yan army and saved the Qi country, the yaks on the plateau are still stronger and stronger than the Central Plains ploughing cattle, and they are resistant to climbing.

And on both sides of the river valley, the Tubo army also organized soldiers to climb the steep and narrow edge, and the hundreds of special weapons in their hands were also terrifying, wearing leather armor, more than half a person tall, fiercely baring out sharp teeth at the Fujian army Tibetan mastiff!

There was a strong worry on his cheeks, and he gritted his teeth, and Li Jin hurriedly turned his head and ordered.

"In front of the light soldiers, spread the iron thistle to the lonely as much as possible to block the cattle formation! Also, the order was sent to Cheng Boxian, and Gu Ke completely counted on him, so that he must be on time! ”

"Whoa!" Pei Xingjian, the Tielin general on the side, immediately bowed his fist and agreed.

In the hurried footsteps, thousands of light infantry in light leather armor in the Fujian army ran desperately to the front of the battle with two pockets, and threw down the thistle terrestris that had just given Mangsong Mangzan a headache without money, and at the same time, Cheng Boxian, who got the order, also patted his strong chest honestly.

"Please rest assured that the prince will live up to the prince's trust!"

Li Jin still has more than 3,000 iron cavalry in the middle of the river in his hand, but what he really expects is the 100 cannons in the center of the slope military formation, the cannon body of more than half a ton exudes a dark metallic luster in the sunlight, and the artillerymen are engrossed in adjusting the muzzles of the Tubo yak soldiers under the mountain.

Artillery commander Cheng Boxian was still running back and forth, and his voice was about to catch up with the sound of the cannon and shouted: "After a while, all of you will have to listen to Lao Tzu's orders!" Lao Tzu said to fight when you fight, and you must not fight first! Do you understand! ”

"Understood, Lieutenant."

One after another, the responses were heard in the hillside artillery array.

After gathering for almost half an hour, the sun began to slowly descend to the west, and the Tubo army fully unfolded its huge body, occupying almost every space in the river valley, and the Tubo soldiers surrounded Li Jin's army formation on three sides, listening to the shouts of the Tubo warriors one after another, the unforgettable hatred because of jealousy turned into a sneer on Mangsong Mangzan's face.

"Passing on Zampu's order, the Fire Bull Formation broke through, and the four guards cavalry of Niang-Ganzabu followed closely behind and broke through the Fujian army formation! The whole army is attacking, and Zampu wants to kill all these Fujian people! ”

Mangsong Mangzan's vicious order soon reached the front army, and with torches, a group of Tubo people smirked and came behind the buttocks of the herd.

However, without waiting for the order to ignite, in the sky, the dull sound of artillery suddenly made a loud noise, and the rumbling sound was like a series of thunder, and the frightened cattle array immediately became a little chaotic, and some yaks turned around and wanted to run back, and actually stabbed many Tibetan warriors.

Listening to the sound of cannons, Mangsong Mangzan couldn't help frowning.

On the hillside, Cheng Boxian almost didn't cry, and angrily grabbed the artillery captain on the side and shouted angrily: "My mother, isn't it not allowed to fire without an order?" Who the fuck allowed you to set off the cannon? ”

I almost didn't cry, and the artillery captain was full of sorrow and shouted helplessly.

"Captain, you haven't fired a single shot!!"
