Chapter 65: Love the country, but love him more

readx;

As the war report said, Du He won. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He took advantage of the hostility between the white barbarians and the barbarians in Nanzhao, and used rumors to promote infighting between the white barbarians and the black barbarians and kill each other.

When the barbarian leader Méng was defeated and retreated, he learned of this and became furious. Yang Kun, the leader of the white barbarians, was also shocked and angry when he heard the news that Méng had not died.

There is indeed a contradiction between the white barbarian and the black barbarian, but when the two are combined, they are Nanzhao. [bsp; Yang Kun doesn't like the barbarians, but he also admits that the barbarians are the nationals of Nanzhao, and méng also hates the barbarians, but he also recognizes the existence of the barbarians.

The black barbarians are brave and good at hunting, and the white barbarians are wise and know how to farm, and both sides are inseparable from each other.

Therefore, when the Tang army pressed the border, Yang Kun could not lead the white barbarians to hide in the mountains, because the white barbarians were not familiar with the way to survive in the mountains and forests: in the same way, it was difficult to lead the barbarians up the mountain, because the barbarians had no food, and it was difficult to sustain the temporary hunting for a long time, especially when it was close to winter, if there was no grain stored by the white barbarians, the barbarians would also not be able to survive.

In order to avoid this difficulty, the black barbarians and the white barbarians must unite to be able to overcome the difficulties together. However, because of the division of Duhe, all this has become a fantasy.

As long as Yang Kun and Méng are difficult to coexist, there is no possibility of recombination between Wuman and Baiman.

Just as Pei Xingjian expected, Yang Kun and Méng understood this truth, what they could do was to fight to the death before the Tang army had a large army to press the border, and have a battle of the winner and the loser Kou, and determine the ownership of the king of Nanzhao.

Yang Kun and Méng had the same idea, but they underestimated Tang Jun and the power of stepping on the moon and leaving incense in Du He's hands.

The two of them originally planned to take advantage of Nanzhao's mountainous and difficult roads to delay the Tang army's advance. I didn't think that Du He would plan at all, but instead took advantage of the mountainous characteristics to cross the mountains, avoid the crowd, and place the strange soldiers in the hinterland of Nanzhao.

It's not easy to do this, but the ability to walk on the moon can find the easiest place to walk in the roadless mountains. At the same time, the excellent military qualities of the Tang army were able to overcome all difficulties. In the end, Du He succeeded and sent the strange soldiers to the hinterland of Nanzhao.

The Tang Army's strange soldiers decisively joined the battlefield before Yang Kun and Méng were about to divide the victory.

The number of odd soldiers is small, but they are facing an enemy who has been fighting for many hours and has suffered more than half of each other's casualties, so they naturally have a big advantage.

In this battle, the Tang army laid a victory, and the odd soldiers and the large troops on the periphery swept back and forth like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, conquering the territory of Nanzhao Kingdom one by one, making Nanzhao Kingdom completely history.

Looking at Du He's battle report, Li Shimin also had to sigh with emotion: "In his early twenties, he destroyed two kingdoms and kidnapped two kings. ”

The great victories in Liaodong and the south made the whole country of the Tang Dynasty rejoice, and the surrounding ethnic groups who paid attention to the movements of the Tang Dynasty all the time were in an uproar.

The Tang Dynasty once again proved its strength with absolute strength, and Goguryeo, which Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty had not been able to win in his life, fell in front of the Tang army, and the overlord of the southwest, Tubo, could not resist the Tang Dynasty in the slightest, and even the Nanzhao, which occupied an absolute geographical advantage, was vulnerable in front of the Tang army.

One by one, the powerful and powerful people fell in front of the Tang army, and in the face of this power, the surrounding alien races invariably made a decision: the tribute gifts were doubled this year...... At all costs, affinity with the Tang Dynasty.

The three territories of Goryeo, Tubo and Nanzhao were officially included in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin divided Goguryeo into nine prefectures, 42 prefectures, and 100 counties, and set up the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate in Pyongyang to unify it, and appointed Su Dingfang, the general of Xiaowei, as the inspector of the school Andong Metropolitan Protector, and led the two sons to guard his place.

Tubo was also renamed ** by Li Shimin, and set up ** Dadu Protectorate in Luozhi City, and protected Zhang Liang with the original Qinghai capital, and led the troops to guard his place. Nanzhao also changed its name to Yunnan, built Dali City in Erhai Lake, set up Dali Protectorate, and took Liu Boying as the protector.

**, Yunnan these two names are naturally from Du He's suggestion, as a Chinese territory, these two places in the absence of a more suitable name.

entrusted the affairs of ** and Yunnan to Zhang Liang and Liu Boying, and Du He led the army to escort the prisoners with confidence and returned to the division in triumph.

On the eve of leaving, Duho rushed to the Pingdu Pass and met Yaochi, who had become his woman.

Although he knew that Yaochi was about to become the queen of the Xiangxiong Kingdom, he couldn't help but invite her back to Chang'an with him.

Yao Chi smiled and shook his head, not saying much on the matter.

Du He was disappointed, but he was helpless. Both of them are adults, and Du He can understand the meaning of Yaochi's actions, just like his home is in Chang'an, no matter what big things happen, he can't abandon his home.

Du He accompanied Yaochi for three days, and left the Xiangxiong Kingdom under the farewell of the reluctant beautiful eyes.

Yao Chi bid farewell to Du He, smiled lightly, and rode back to Qionglong Silver City.

King Zhangxiong had already learned the news of the destruction of Tibet and the departure of Du He, and he was also relieved: he knew that Du He and Yao Chi had a different relationship. He had already decided to hand over the burden of King Zhangxiong to Yao Chi, and naturally he didn't want anything to happen between Du He and Yao Chi. Of course, if Du He can join Zhangxiong, he will support him with his hands and feet, but obviously this is not possible.

"Baby, my father is getting old, and I don't want to worry about state affairs, let the national teacher choose a good day, and let you take the throne, and Zhangxiong will be handed over to you in the future." King Zhangxiong is not worried about whether Yao Chi can take on this burden, after the invasion of Tibet, Yao Chi is in danger, she has become a heroic female protector of the country, and the prestige of the entire Zhangxiong is extremely high, and she is no longer inferior to him as a king.

Yao Chi grinned and said: "Father, you better take back this fate, this burden of the daughter can't do it, the daughter yearns for Chang'an, not here." But if the father must make the promise of his daughter, the daughter will not dare to disobey her father's command. The daughter will take this king seriously until her father is a hundred years old, and then she will be relieved of her burden. Zhangxiong is my country, I love my country, but I love him even more......"

Yaochi said lightly, he had already planned his future.

King Xiangxiong was slightly startled, opened his mouth, and was speechless. He didn't know what to do,

It is still time to be happy that she has no responsibility and regards the country as a child's play: she likes her filial piety again, and is willing to let go of everything for him, just for a filial piety.

King Zhang-zhung may not be enlightened, but he is a good father, knowing that the little Zhang-zhung can no longer trap her, he sighed and said: "Since Zhang-zhung can't keep you, then let it be."

Yaochi was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Thank you father for your success" She thought about the person in her heart, but she didn't leave immediately.

King Zhangzhung is getting old, and Zhangzhung is about to be rebuilt, and before the future lord is decided, he still needs to have a person to hold on to it.

………,………

It took two months to travel from Tubo to Chang'an, but the speed was greatly slowed down because of the escort of nearly 100,000 captives of Tubo Nanzhao, and along the way, he was congratulated and welcomed by local officials, and the trip was delayed.

It took three and a half months to go north out of the Taro Wuguan Pass and enter the Guanzhong boundary.

It was February, and the snow was all over the sky, up and down in the middle of the pass, wrapped in silver, and it was vast.

Du He's achievements this time are unworldly, and there are already officials waiting in the pass.

Because there is a major welcoming ceremony, it also needs the cooperation of Du He here.

The person who came was Kong Zhiyue, Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, and Du He held the position of Shangshu Province and had dealings with people from the six ministries. He is not arrogant or impatient, not easy to offend people, and no idiot will offend him, the son of the prime minister, with a red nose, and he gets along very well with the people of the six departments.

Kong Zhiyue knew that Du Heli had made such a great achievement, and the position of the DPRK and China was even more stable and enthusiastic, so he congratulated them with a smile and let them go to the east gate in a roundabout way.

Du He was a little puzzled, they came from the south, and the fastest shortcut was to enter the city through the south gate.

This is to welcome the triumphant division, isn't the south gate and the east gate the same?

Kong Zhiyue explained: "The king of Jiangxia also broke Goguryeo and was on the way home. His Majesty decided to go out of Chang'an fifty miles in person, and greet the two triumphant armies at the same time. ”

Li Daozong broke Goguryeo before Duhe broke the Southern Zhao, but the distance between the Goryeo Ju Mansion and Chang'an was farther than Duhe's return to Chang'an from Tubo. Because of the harsh climate in the northeast, half of the horses of the Tang army died from the weather, which greatly slowed down the march.

The time when the two armies returned to Chang'an did not exceed 15 days. Li Shimin felt that instead of welcoming the Northern Expeditionary Army at the North Gate and immediately preparing to meet the Southern Expeditionary Army, it was better to gather the two armies at the East Gate and greet them together.

Du He listened suddenly, and there was a movement in his heart, in ancient times, ten miles to send each other, ten miles to welcome, it is already the highest gift of greeting. Now Li Shimin made an exception and personally went out of the city fifty miles to greet him, what a glory.

Du He conveyed the news that the emperor had left the city to greet the triumphant army, and the soldiers, who were deeply honored and moved, completely forgot the fatigue of the march and shouted in the heavy snow.

The Southern Expeditionary Army and the Northern Expeditionary Army met in Fu, sixty miles east of Chang'an.

Du He also saw his father-in-law, Li Daozong's determination of Goguryeo, which is also a rare achievement, and he was born from the heart, and his son-in-law was so powerful, he was even more happy, and pulled Du He to say cordially.

The next day, the largest triumphal ceremony of the Tang Dynasty was launched on the land of Guanzhong.

The sky is not beautiful, and it is still snowing.

But this kind of weather could not stop the heat in Tang Jun's heart, let alone Li Shimin's intention to welcome the triumphant army.

In the snow, the emperor's guard of honor is clearly visible, and the cheerful welcome music is constantly in the ears.

Du He and Li Daozong invariably accelerated their march.

Approaching each other, Du He had already seen Li Shimin's deeds, and also saw his father Du Ruhui, as well as his uncle Fang Xuanling and ministers like Wei Zheng nearby. It's just that he didn't see the eldest grandson Wuji in the group of ministers, this kind of big event, he didn't see the old rival eldest grandson Wuji, Du He couldn't help but feel strange in his heart: he knew the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji definitely didn't like him to achieve such a great achievement, but as long as the facts already existed, he would be the first to stand up and congratulate, which is also the power of the eldest grandson Wuji, hiding a knife in his smile, making people not notice his killing intent at all.

Du He still doesn't know what happened in Chang'an, and he doesn't know that the eldest grandson Wuji has failed out of the game.

Chang'an Du Mansion.

Wu Meiniang already knew that Du He was outside the city, and the whole person was in chaos for the first time, at a loss, and I was afraid of joy,.........,!。
