Chapter 165: The Great Tang Dynasty Master II
readx;
If you really want to calculate it, Tuyuhun's invasion of the Tang border is not a matter of one or two years. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info And what's interesting is that the problem of this guy on the side is not unique to the Tang Dynasty, as early as the Sui period, this guy used to commit the side, and then was repelled by the Sui army. His son Murong Shun also became the proton of the Sui Dynasty, and then Tuyuhun was destroyed by the Sui Dynasty, and his son Murong Shun was named Khan by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
It is said that Murong Fuyun likes to commit crimes and is instigated by the King of Tianzhu next to him, but if this guy doesn't have a thief's heart, it's useless for anyone to instigate him.
Later, at the end of the great cause, Emperor Yang of Sui was unable to protect himself. Murong Fuyun took advantage of the chaos in the world to recover his hometown. Li Yuan, who had just established the Tang Dynasty, had a very thin foundation and too many enemies, so he was naturally afraid and did not want to fight Tuyuhun. Murong Shun, who used to be a proton of the Sui Dynasty, happened to be a proton in the Tang Dynasty, and then as soon as he discussed, he made an agreement with Murong Fuyun. If Murong Fuyun can help the Tang Dynasty fight Li Liang, he will put his son Murong Shun back.
Murong Fuyun was overjoyed, after all, no one wanted his son to be a hostage in the hands of others. The relationship between father and son is small, but it is about face. And I'm afraid that for some political purposes, Murong Fuyun agreed.
So Murong Fuyun joined forces with the Tang Dynasty, and finally Murong Fu also 'returned to his hometown'. But Murong Shun, who was the crown prince, did not receive fair treatment after he went back, at least in Murong Shun's eyes, the treatment was extremely unfair.
Why? Because I am the eldest son, I have been risking death and humiliation as a hostage for so many years, why should I let King Murong Zun be the crown prince? And the most important thing is, King Tianzhu, who dare not take me seriously?
Murong Shun was very angry, and the consequences were serious. He had already pointed at his Laozi Murong Fuyun behind his back and swore that 'I, Murong Shun, will compete for the position of the crown prince when I come back, if I don't succeed, then I won't be a person.' ’
From the period of Li Yuan to the time when Li Shimin ascended the throne, the western region had no time to take care of it. There is no way, first, to deal with the Turks in the north, and second, to sweep away the forces in various places to achieve real unification. In this way, Tuyuhun in the west saw the opportunity and bullied him every once in a while. At that time, Li Shimin hated Tuyuhun.
After the Tang Dynasty unified the world, because of the long-term war, Li Shimin had to work hard for the new policy. Tuyuhun in the west still has no time to take care of it.
But having no time to take care of it does not mean that Tuyuhun can really tolerate Tuyuhun's misconduct on the border of the Tang Dynasty. Because Tuyuhun's location and recent actions have posed a threat to Datang's Hexi Corridor, and the importance of military horses in the military horse farm that is very close to Datang is self-evident, not to mention that Tuyuhun often provokes Datang, even if he does not provoke Datang, Datang will never allow this guy who threatens national interests to stay in the west.
In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Guotai Min'an estimated that Li Shimin wanted to attack Tuyuhun. First, it is for the sake of national security and interests, and of course, the most important thing is for the sake of their own royal family. Second, Tuyuhun is too capable of jumping.
But the literati did not want to go to war easily, and the relationship with Tuyuhun did not reach the time when war was indispensable.
In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Tuyuhun plundered Shanzhou. Li Shimin wanted to send troops, but after Guo Shan tried the water in the court, he found that there were still many people in the court who did not have much hatred for Tuyuhun. The time has not yet come, and when the time comes, we must fight and win. And Duan Zhixuan fought once, although the army won and chased Murong Fuyun out of Qinghai, but this seemingly victorious situation was actually defeated by the Tang Dynasty.
Duan Zhixuan was naturally punished, and the most important thing was that Li Shimin's face was not good-looking. Because Li Shimin was the main battle, but after some ministers objected, Li Shimin still resolutely decided to attack Tuyuhun. This is good, Duan Zhixuan is not angry.
So, at this time, Li Shimin did not mention another war, but echoed the 'pleas' of many ministers and decided to solve the problem with Tuyuhun through diplomatic means.
So, Guo Shan's strange delegation appeared, and then Guo Shan's group led by Lao Zhao swaggered to Tuyuhun to 'question' Murong Fuyun.
Although the ministers felt that the envoys sent by the emperor were really not good, the thought that the emperor was willing to use diplomatic means to solve the troubles between countries instead of always thinking about 'war' and 'war' shows that the emperor's political consciousness has improved.
The ministers were very satisfied, but they didn't know that Li Shimin's fight was indeed another idea.
Lao Zhao had a secret mission before the envoy, so that Lao Zhao had already sent an envoy to Tuyuhun to explore the reality of Tuyuhun, looking for all opportunities, and creating an opportunity that was conducive to the Tang Dynasty's troops.
If Li Shimin and others were the first people who wanted Murong Fuyun to die, then Murong Shun was the second person who wanted his father to die.
As mentioned earlier, after returning from being a hostage, this prince-like character saw his younger brother as a prince, and the aggrieved man was simply speechless.
In the early years, Murong Shun was quite familiar with Zhao Dekai when he was a hostage in the Tang Dynasty, and this time he saw Zhao Dekai come to Tuyuhun, as if he had met his relatives. The two of them cherished each other and couldn't help themselves, so they both made a sacred and glorious decision: to kill Murong Fuyun, and then his son Murong Shun became the khan. Then Murong Shun made a request to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and pay tribute every year after that.
What a hero!
After Li Shimin got Zhao Dekai's letter, he couldn't help but praise it, secretly thinking that it was really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves. I just forced the palace to seize the throne at the beginning, but you Murong Shun can't help it, you are selling your father and the country!
Needless to say, those who get Murong Shun have to Tuguhun, there is such a pit father's son, Li Shimin doesn't believe that Murong Fuyun, who is a father, is undefeated. Taking advantage of the ninth year of Zhenguan, Tuyuhun attacked Liangzhou again, so Li Shimin issued an order to go out again in the court. No matter how others objected, Li Shimin didn't want to wait any longer.
The real purpose of Zhao Dekai and Guo Shan's envoys was that the ministers in the court did not understand, but Wei Zheng, Li Jing and others did understand it, so they naturally readily agreed. The mighty army moved.
When the army reached the territory of Tuyuhun, the Qiang tribe rebelled and took refuge in Tuyuhun. But the Tang army, who had already learned the news through Murong Shun's mouth and Zhao Dekai's letter, was not much surprised at all, and wiped out most of the Qiang tribe. On the eighth day of the fourth month, Li Daozong confronted Tuyuhun head-to-head in Kushan and directly defeated Tuyuhun's army. How many thieves is Murong Fuyun? When Duan Zhixuan called, he escaped once, and this time he did even more desperately, burning the weeds with a fire, but he wanted the horses of the Tang Army to have no food and grass and dare not attack easily. What's more, after setting fire to his own grass, he ran away with his light soldiers.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Dekai asked Guo Shan to hurry out of the city to deliver the letter.
This time, no matter what, Tuyuhun can't be allowed to run again.
"Don't make a sound." The Tuyuhun soldier who caught Guo Shan covered Guo Shan's mouth and dragged Guo Shan closer to a dilapidated house where no one was.
Guo Shan: ""
He just came out of Zhao Dekai's dilapidated house, and he was going to do a lot of work, but he didn't expect to be taken into the dilapidated house again.
"Is that you?" When Guo Shan saw this Tuyuhun soldier clearly, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils and tighten his chrysanthemum.
It stands to reason that Zhao Dekai suddenly gave Guo Shan a role-play, and Guo Shan should be numb when he encounters a role-playing person again. However, the person who came really surprised Guo Shan, and even made Guo Shan unacceptable even more than Zhao Dekai's role-playing.
Because Guo Shan really didn't expect that a character who shouldn't have appeared here would appear here. This person is Xu Yunzi, the old man Xu, who gave thousands of hectares of fertile land to Guo Shan.
The joke is big, how could Old Man Xu come to this Fuqi City, and he is still wearing the skin of a Tuyuhun soldier?
Without waiting for Guo Shan to think about it, Xu Yunzi said: "I knew that you came to Tuyuhun a month ago, and I still can't believe it. You're the Kyori of Taijoji Temple, how did you come here? But now that I see you, the old man has to believe if he doesn't believe it. Boy, you are a little bolder, you dare to run to this Tuguhun to spread wild? ”
Old man Xu was not as ridiculous as before, and his expression was also very serious. Looking at this thin old man, Guo Shan's heart was mixed.
"You are one of the few capable people left behind by the Sui Queen, who returned to the Sui Mansion and has been working for the Sui Mansion now, right? Why did you come to Tuyuhun? Could it be that the people of your Sui Mansion have also arrived in Tuyuhun? Guo Shan asked.
Old man Xu narrowed his eyes and fell silent.
He never imagined that Guo Shan would become an official in any way, even if he felt that Guo Shan had the slightest possibility of becoming an official in the Tang Dynasty, but he would never believe it so quickly. It was as if he had just walked on his front foot, and Guo Shan's back foot was put on an official uniform.
In fact, not only Old Man Xu couldn't think of it, but even Guo Shan couldn't think of it himself.
When Old Man Xu was leaving, he told him that he had no choice but to go back to the Sui Mansion. At that time, Guo Shan also persuaded him to stop paying attention to the disputes in the world. Old man Xu didn't listen, because he was also forced to do so. And Guo Shan didn't persuade much, and he didn't pay much attention to it, because no matter how noisy the Sui Mansion was, it had nothing to do with him Guo Shan.
However, now Guo Shan has become an official of the Tang Dynasty, and he has met Old Man Xu at this time and place. The forces to which two people belong are destined to become enemies, but the feelings of two people are established in the purest and purest conditions without political struggle.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the five flavors are mixed. Guo Shan didn't know what Old Man Xu thought, anyway, he, Guo Shan, felt very sad when he saw Old Man Xu now. He used to treat himself so well, how could he bear to do it to him? Well, Guo Shan has to admit that his life is now in the hands of Old Man Xu, and as for the sentence that he can't bear to attack Old Man Xu, it can be understood as pretending to be forced.
"That's right, I'm here to help Tuyuhun this time. Moreover, our plan is to sabotage your Datang plan. After all, because of the irreversible hostile relationship, as long as it is harmful to your Datang, it will be beneficial to our Sui Mansion. Xu Yunzi looked at Guo Shan and said, "Da Lang, you know my skills." What you're hiding in your buttocks is faith, right? Take it out and I won't hurt you. ”
Guo Shan's face turned green, damn it, can you see that my letter is so hidden? Are your eyes poisonous dragon drills?
