In May, the news of the Iron Army's conquest of Tubo and Longyou Road began to come out, many people did not believe that there was such a thing, and some people even thought that this was nonsense, the Tang Dynasty had lost control of Longyou Road for many years, and now Longyou Road was divided between Tibet and the Turks, and the four towns of Annan have become a pain in people's hearts.

The main thing is to conquer Tubo and recover Longyou Road, there are too many difficulties, even in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court in order to be able to control Longyou Road, limit the development of Tubo and Turkic power, it also cost a lot of money and energy, now decay has become synonymous with the Tang Dynasty, at this time, the iron-blooded army conquered Tubo and recovered Longyou Road, isn't it a legend.

However, the news was quickly confirmed.

The reason is very simple, the envoy of the royal line of Lhasa in Tibet has come to the capital Chang'an, expressing his submission to the imperial court, and imploring the imperial court not to continue to attack Luo, if the imperial court is willing to strike the army, the royal family of Lhasa is willing to make offerings to the imperial court every year to express permanent submission.

The second is Longyou Road, some businessmen in the Central Plains, and Longyou Road have business dealings, when they went to Longyou Road to do business, they found that the four towns of Anxi actually restored the system, and it was the Iron Blood Army that guarded the town.

This news could not be concealed, and immediately caused a huge shock in the capital and the north.

After the envoys of Tibet came to the capital, they realized that it was useless to turn to the emperor and the imperial court for help, because it was the iron-blooded army under the command of King Fu and Li Rupei, the Great Xingtai of Southern Dao, who conquered Tibet.

When the envoy of Tibet made a statement above the imperial court, he trembled, and he was afraid of the strength of the Tibetan army when he said it, and when the Tibetan army faced the Tang army, it did not have any resistance, and every battle was full of casualties, and finally had to surrender.

In fact, when the Tang army first entered Tibet, the four major kings of Tibet had a ridiculous mentality, although the Tang army was strong. However, when they arrived in Tibet and the alpine region, they could not adapt to the environment here, and there were also huge difficulties in the supply of grain and grass.

However, in the first battle of the attack on Yugan City, the Lhasa royal family suffered a heavy defeat, and the general stationed in Yucheng led 3,000 soldiers to meet the battle. As a result, in this battle, the three thousand sergeants were all wiped out, and the general was also killed, and the whole battle did not last long, and the Tang army occupied an absolute advantage in combat effectiveness and was fully able to adapt to the harsh environment of Tibet.

At this time, the four major royal families in Tubo began to attach great importance to the invading Tang army, but unfortunately their reaction was too slow. The Tang Dynasty's army had already taken Bowo, Motuo and Luowo, and was directed at the Raksu and Potala Palaces.

In the hearts of the four royal families who ruled Tibet, Luo Xue and the Potala Palace were the holy places of Tibet, and they could never be occupied by the Tang army. Therefore, when the Tang army marched towards Luo, the four royal families united for the first time and each sent heavy troops to Luo. Resist the army of the Tang Dynasty.

It was in this process that the armies of the Ali royal family and the Yaze royal family suffered heavy losses. They originally went straight to Luo for reinforcements, but they were ambushed by the Tang Dynasty army, with heavy casualties, and there were very few troops who could reach Luo Ji, and after several battles, they were basically difficult to maintain.

What's even worse is the Yalong Juea Wang system, most of the troops are in Longyou Road, distributed around the four towns of Annan, including the original location of the Anxi Protectorate, they suffered a devastating blow from the Tang army, only a small number of troops, hastily evacuated the four towns of Annan, and most of the army was wiped out.

By the end of May, the Tang army had already encircled the Luo, but instead of attacking immediately, the Tang army waited for reinforcements from all over Tibet to arrive in the Luo, including some of the remaining troops after the defeat.

The whole of Logic has fallen into a great panic.

Many nobles in Tibet, in the process of the Tang army's attack, encountered merciless killing, and those who could benefit were those slaves who the nobles did not take seriously, and some civilians who supported the Tang army.

At this time, the four kings felt that the situation was not good, no matter how stupid they were, they also knew that the army of the Tang Dynasty was preparing to completely exterminate them, so they quickly sent envoys to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, to beg the Tang court to call off the army, promising that Tubo would always submit to the Tang Dynasty.

The news that Tubo had suffered a heavy blow, that Luo was surrounded, and that the four towns of Annan were taken back by the iron-blooded army, and that the Anxi Protectorate was back under the control of the Tang Dynasty quickly spread in the capital, and then spread to the north, and even the news that the powerful Turks in the north had been hit hard in Longyou Province and were busy evacuating Longyou Province also spread in the capital.

The capital city of Chang'an and the eastern capital of Luoyang quickly fell into ecstasy.

It is the iron-blooded army of the Tang Dynasty that recovered the four towns of Annan and the protectorate of Anxi, whether it is the army of His Royal Highness King Fu, or the army commanded by the Daxingtai Mansion of the Southern Dao, it is always the army of the Tang Dynasty, you must know that after the Anshi Rebellion, within a short period of time, the imperial court lost control of Longyou Dao, after Xianzong, Longyou Dao was completely occupied by the Turks and Tibet, I don't know how many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, stuck to the four towns of Annan, and finally died in another country, which is the shame of the Tang Dynasty.

The controversy between the common people also began quickly, especially the capital of Chang'an and the eastern capital of Luoyang, some scholars began to play their strength in good debate, and threw out their own opinions, some people think that it is feasible for the iron-blooded army to recover Longyoudao, but there are some problems with occupying Tubo, Tubo is poor in this place, even if it is occupied, it is also a trouble for the Tang Dynasty, and some people think that Tubo sent envoys to express complete submission, so that Tubo should seize this opportunity to pay tribute every year.

It's a pity that the simple people, and some scholars have a different understanding, they think that His Royal Highness King Fu is great, sending a large army to conquer Tubo and recover Longyou Road, which is a cause that will last for thousands of years, and it is a cause that will always be remembered.

After the news came, the ensuing impact was that a large number of people went to Xiangyang, especially those who thought they had the ability, because Xiangyang was about to hold Enke in September, and the scholars hoped that they could go to high school in this Enke, be able to enter the Daxingtai Mansion of Nanfang Province, or work in the government of the south.

The shock that occurred in the Fan Yang Lu clan and the Taiyuan Wang clan was the largest.

After Cui Shenyou and Zheng Congyan proposed, the time of marriage was set on the first day of October, which means that the two families have begun to integrate into the sphere of influence of Daxingtaifu in the Southern Province, I can't imagine that at this time, Li Rupei actually planned such a major battle, just imagine, if the iron-blooded army conquers Tubo and takes back Longyou Dao, the influence of the Tang Dynasty will far exceed that of the emperor, I am afraid that the civil and military officials in the capital will change their inner thoughts.

In fact, there are already many court officials who resigned and went to Xiangyang, especially the Zheng family of Xingyang and the Cui family of Qinghe, almost all the people who were officials in the imperial court went to Xiangyang.

The Fan Yang Lu clan and the Taiyuan Wang clan began to pay close attention to the war in Tubo and Longyou Dao, although the news was very fragmentary.

In June, after the news came that the Iron Blood Army had recovered the four towns of Annan and re-established the Annan Protectorate, Lu Guangqi resigned from his official position as a member of the Zhongshu House and rushed to Xiangyang, where the three brothers, Wang Chao, Wang Shenbang and Wang Shenzhi, also set off for Xiangyang.

After the news came that the Tibetan envoys came to the capital Chang'an and begged the Tang army to evacuate Tibet, and the news that the Tibetans were willing to submit forever arrived, almost all the scholars from the two families went to Xiangyang to prepare for the September Enke.

For a time, Xiangyang became the most lively and dazzling place in Datang.

The court was relatively quiet inside.

After the emperor learned these news, he just sighed, in fact, he had already received Li Rupei's recital, and he felt that it was impossible for Li Rupei to completely conquer Tubo and set up Fuzhou and counties in Tubo according to the official system of the Tang Dynasty.

But the facts are in front of us.

The Turkic army operating in Longyou Dao, after being severely attacked by the iron-blooded army, had already withdrawn, and the Yalong Juea royal line of Tubo, with no place to retreat, was suffering a devastating blow, and the envoys of Tubo came to the capital, crying about the blows encountered, and begging the imperial court to spare Tubo, and they were willing to submit permanently.

The emperor knew that he could not call the shots, and it was impossible for Li Rupei and the iron-blooded army to stop, and the goal of the people had already been determined, to completely conquer Tubo, destroy the Tubo Dynasty, and let Tubo fall under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

The prestige of Li Rupei and the iron-blooded army has reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that it is time for him, the puppet emperor, to make a decision, in fact, he, the emperor, does not mean much in front of him, it is better to push the boat down the river and let Li Rupei inherit the throne, so that he can still live a comfortable life, of course, if Li Rupei must destroy him, the emperor, he has no way to fight.

Yang Fugong, who controls the capital, has the most complicated mood.

The time in power is not very long, Yang Fugong is of course reluctant to lose the power in his hands, but judging from the current situation, he can not be in power for a long time, if he can't make a wise choice soon, the end may be worse than Tian Lingzi.

Yang Fugong originally wanted to let the blessed king Li Rupei'an be born, so as to free up time for him Yang Fugong to unite with the feudal towns in the north and fight against the iron-blooded army at a critical moment, but at present, this is not very likely.

He knew that under the current situation, the feudal towns in the north would never take the initiative to challenge Li Rupei, in case Li Rupei entered the capital, these feudal towns would quickly surrender and pay taxes to the imperial court on time under the premise of protecting their own interests.
