In the ninth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty spent the ninth year of Li Er's reign with smooth weather and abundant grains, and also achieved a series of heavy victories militarily, and the Tang Dynasty has become a superpower controlling the entire East Asian and Eastern seas.

On September 21, coinciding with the 70th birthday of the Emperor Taishang, Li Er arranged a grand military parade in the West School Martial Arts Field of Chang'an City before the Zen was sealed.

On the school martial arts field within a radius of four or five miles, there are many sheng flags, swords and guns are dense, and tens of thousands of tiger soldiers wear douao and armor on their heads, forming a five-color phalanx.

In front of the queue, more than 1,000 generals rode tall horses, looking straight ahead. Accompanied by Li Er, Emperor Li Yuan was dressed in a black robe, wearing a crown of pearls, and riding in a golden royal car, slowly galloping over the parade road. Long Qi, Feng Yu, Huang Ji, and Zhu Shi also flashed in the eyes of the Emperor Taishang one by one, armor, brilliant and brilliant, weapons, and essence. Tianwei Hehe, this Datang, who can compete with it?

In the face of the mighty soldiers, the Emperor Taishang couldn't help but think of the scene when he swore in Taiyuan, regardless of his old age and frailty, he saw him get up from the car excitedly, waved his hand and expressed his condolences to the soldiers loudly: "Hello soldiers!" ”

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"

The response was earth-shattering and imposing, showing the consistent quality of the Tang army's loyalty to the imperial court and invincibility. The Emperor Taishang was very happy and waved his hand repeatedly to greet the soldiers.

After the parade. Emperor Taishang returned to Weiyang Palace. Banquets were held to entertain civil ministers and military generals of more than three grades and envoys of various countries in Beijing.

At the royal banquet. The singing voice is clear, the dancing posture is beautiful, pleasing to the eye, and the atmosphere is harmonious, Li Er first held a wine and toasted his birthday: "Today, the four Yi are all the teachings of His Majesty, and they are not within the reach of the minister's intelligence." The ancestors of the former Han Dynasty also followed the Emperor Taishang to buy wine in this palace, and held the jade gardenia for the birthday of the Emperor. He said: 'In the past, the lords often regarded themselves as scoundrels, and they could not govern the industry, so they were not as good as Zhongli. And now the minister's business is there, and who is more? 'Han Gao's ancestors are great, and his sons don't dare! ”

When Li Yuan heard this, he laughed happily and drank all the wine in the middle of the wine. Together with the banquet minister, he congratulated: "Long live, long live, long live!" ”

In order to make the Emperor Taishang happy, Li Er took out a poem "Keeping the Year" written last night, and read it to the Emperor Taishang in person, after reading it. All the secretaries applauded together, and then the crown prince Li Chengqian congratulated the emperor on his birthday. Looking at his third-generation heir to the throne so polite. Li Yuan was even more happy, regardless of his old age and decrepitude, he dried up the wine in one go.

Li Yuan looked at the luxurious and exquisite hall, picked up the gold-inlaid wine in his hand, and said in a daze: "I really didn't expect that this Tang Dynasty would become so strong, I still remember ten years ago, when the Weishui Alliance, the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Turks arrived under the city of Chang'an, the former Tuyuhun committed several borders, and the Goryeo that the Sui Dynasty could not attack for a long time has now become yesterday's yellow flower, the southeast coast, changing with each passing day, the four countries in the northeast, all of them are attached, and the distant passive mountains of Tubo, and now they have also fallen into my Tang Dynasty's plan, the northwest land, Now except for a Gaochang country, I can't think of any enemies that my Datang has now. ”

After listening to Li Yuan's words, Li Er laughed and said, "Father, I'm afraid that the only Gaochang Kingdom in the northwest will no longer exist in a while." ”

"Oh?" Li Yuan showed a puzzled look on his face and smelled, "Why did my son say this?" ”

I saw Li Er's eyes blazing through the palace gate looking in the northwest direction, and he said confidently: "Erchen has already sent a city management garrison to attack Gaochang three months ago!" ”……

'The eagle flies in the sky, the child lies in the artemisia, the cat swims in the hall, the mouse chews in the hole, each has its place, and whoever is separated from him cannot live? Li Daoyu rode on a handsome military horse, and he recalled the arrogant and unreasonable words that Qu Wentai, the king of Gaochang, said to himself, and he could never forget the face that neither gave up his seat nor allowed tea, but only hummed with his nostrils facing the sky.

Now he will see this face again, only this time, he is bringing 30,000 troops to "visit" him, Li Daoyu was excited when he thought of the panicked expression on that face, and he wanted to give him an extremely profound lesson for this kind of person who despised the Tang Dynasty......

"Imperial Envoy Li, the army has arrived in Gaochang City, General Wei Chi invites you to go to the military headquarters to discuss matters." A soldier who gave the order rode up to Li Daoyu's side and said.

"Oh, okay, you go and tell General Sù Weichi, I'll be there soon."

"No." ……

Gaochang, a small country, has always played the role of a dog's leg when the Eastern Turks still existed, and its jurisdiction is in the area of Turpan in present-day Xinjiang, which is the main road of communication between China and the West, and the necessary place of the Silk Road.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, after the defeat and capture of the Eastern Turkic Lilik Khan, Qu Wentai, the king of Gaochang, personally went to Chang'an and opened the passage between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions.

When Tuyuhun was defeated, under the shock of Li Jingcheng's army overthrowing the Tuyuhun regime in just half a month, Qu Wentai felt frightened, so he brought a lot of tribute and came to Chang'an with his wife to meet Li Er, who treated him with courtesy and gave Qu Wentai's wife Yuwen the surname Li.

Later, with the attachment of the Western Turks to the Tang Dynasty and the gradual expansion of the wool trade, the living standards in Gaochang were also becoming more and more prosperous, which made Qu Wentai, who was originally afraid, gradually regain his ambitions.

At first, he only tentatively violated the rules, but no one came to rectify him at all, so he became more and more bold and wantonly detained, robbed, and disrupted the relationship between the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty on the way through Gaochang and the Tang Dynasty.

Later, he became more and more unpopular, ignoring the warnings of the Tang envoys, united with some small tribes of the Western Turks, and attacked the Tang Dynasty vassal country Yiwu, Yiwu begged for help from the Tang Dynasty, Li Ernai issued Zhao Gaochang, severely reprimanded, and summoned his minister A Shiju to enter the court to discuss matters. Qu Wentai didn't listen, just sent a long history to Chang'an to deal with it, and then, and united with the Western Turks to break another subject of the Tang Dynasty, Yanqi, Li Er learned that he was furious, and sent Li Daoyu in Yu Buzhong to ask for the guilt, and urged Qu Wentai to enter the court.

Qu Wentai relied on the military strength of the Western Turkic tribes and the harsh geographical environment of the far away, and did not put the Tang envoy in his eyes at all, and when he met Li Daoyu in the palace of Gaochang, Qu Wentai did not look at the Tang envoy with his eyes, neither gave up his seat, nor allowed tea, but just hummed with his nostrils facing the sky: "The eagle flies in the sky, the child lies in the artemisia, the cat swims in the hall, the mouse chews in the hole, each has its own place, who is separated from whom can not live?" ”

This made Li Daoyu, who was an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, like a great shame, got up and said goodbye, and rushed back to the Tang Dynasty from Gaochang day and night, and made it clear to Li Eryu about the matter, Li Er was immediately furious, and ordered the appointment of the general Wei Chi Gong as the general manager of the Jiaohe Road March, and Xue Wanche led 30,000 city management garrisons to send troops to conquer Gaochang.

Qu Wentai, the king of Gaochang, heard that the Tang soldiers were coming, he was very scared at first, and he couldn't sleep all day and night, but until now, three months have passed, and he has not seen the shadow of the Tang soldiers, so he didn't care, and at today's court meeting, he smiled and said to his subordinates: "Tang is more than 7,000 miles away from Gaochang, of which 2,000 miles are all quicksand. In winter, the wind is as cold as a knife, which can freeze people to death; In summer, it is so hot that it kills people with thirst. At this point, the army of the Tang Dynasty was accustomed to living in the interior, and unless it was Fit, it would not be able to come to our country at all. Even if we come to Gaochang City, the grain and grass can't be transported, and the Tang soldiers have been starving to death for a long time, and when the time comes, we can take them prisoner by sitting still, and send them all to the fields to do hard labor. ”

The ministers of Gaochang Kingdom were deeply impressed by the king's analysis, and there was a chorus of "yes, yes" in the palace. King Gaochang was happy and ordered to congratulate each other with wine.

All the meat was slaughtered and slaughtered, and immediately a few sheep were caught and skinned on the spot in front of the king's palace. In an instant, the hand-grabbed mutton was made, and in the hall, dozens of monarchs and ministers sat down on the carpet, ready to face a sumptuous feast.

"Drink!" King Gaochang grabbed the wine bag in both hands and shouted to the ministers: "That is, the Khan, when he is on a par with the Son of Heaven, why should we listen to him in the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Before the black wine was filled, the sound of horses' hooves outside the palace was heard, and there was a sound of panic. The sound of the prince Qu staggered in, pointed to the outside of the hall, and said with a crying voice: "Father, something is wrong!" ”

King Gaochang's hand trembled, the wine bag was shaken to the ground, and he asked in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”

"The Tang Army's 30,000-strong army has ...... It's time to get to the point! ”…… (The novel "Datang City Management Brigade" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lottery gift for everyone!)
