Chapter 43: All the Way West

Li Dan was in a very good mood, first he was happy for a while, and then he wanted to show off.

"Well, I have to tell my mother about this, so that my mother can also be happy." Li Dan didn't want Wu Zetian to be happy, but to show off in front of Wu Zetian.

Any son, if he has something proud, wants to tell his parents about it, and satisfy his vanity a little, although Li Dan is the emperor, he is no exception.

As soon as he made up his mind, Li Dan rushed to Wu Zetian's bedroom.

It didn't take long for him to arrive at Wu Zetian's dormitory, and at a glance, he was greatly surprised.

I saw Wu Zetian standing in front of a huge map, looking at the map, motionless. Li Xian and Li Chongrun, father and son, stood on the left and right sides of Wu Zetian, accompanying her to look at the map.

Wu Zetian's brows were sometimes twisted, sometimes relaxed.

"Eighth child, are you here?" Wu Zetian heard the footsteps, turned his head to look, and saw Li Dan's face full of joy, nodded, and said, "Old eight, but San Lang conquered Tianzhu?" ”

"Mother, do you know again?" Li Dan was a little depressed, with such a smart and bright old lady, he didn't even have a chance to show off.

"You've written it all on your face, can your mother still know?" Wu Zetian's brows furrowed, a smile appeared on his face, and he praised: "This San Lang is quite capable of tossing, and he conquered Tianzhu so quickly." Good! Worthy of my grandson! ”

Although Li Longji forced Wu Zetian to abdicate, as a grandmother, Li Longji achieved such great success, she couldn't help but rejoice.

Wu Zetian was not only happy, but also very proud.

"So fast?" Li Xian was a little unconvinced.

"San Lang, this kid is very good at tossing, what's so curious about hurrying up?" Wu Zetian was not surprised. Said lightly: "Tianzhu is different from Tubo. There is nothing to rejoice in the conquest of Tianzhu. ”

"Ugh." The smile on Li Dan's face disappeared.

He thought about it. The conquest of Tianzhu is a great joy, Wu Zetian actually said that there is nothing to be happy about, isn't this a waste of his fun?

If it were a different person, he would definitely be angry. But this is what his old lady Wu Zetian said, he can't make fire if he has it, so he can only endure it by himself.

"Old eight, you must be thinking, did your mother ruin your interest?" Knowing the son Mo Ruomu. Wu Zetian, a smart old lady, knew what Li Dan was thinking at a glance.

"Nothing, nothing." How could Li Dan admit it.

"The conquest of Tianzhu is a happy event, but it is not as gratifying as the conquest of Tubo, why?" Wu Zetian answered himself and said: "Although Tianzhu has a vast territory, many mouths, and abundant products, however, starting from Tibet, there are too many conveniences to conquer Tianzhu. The conquest of Tianzhu is a matter of reason. ”

Speaking of which, take a breath. continued: "On the contrary, it is more difficult to conquer Tubo, because Tubo is located in high mountains and dense forests, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, that is, Emperor Qin and Han Wu, as well as Emperor Taizong, these emperors with great strength are powerless. San Lang was able to conquer Tibet, which was both a good thing and a fluke. said that it was a fluke, because Du Song Mangbu married and gave San Lang a good opportunity. If Du Song Mangbu is not close to the conquest, let San Lang get it, and he doesn't want to conquer Tibet. ”

This is very reasonable, because the geographical location of Tubo is too dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, although there are emperors in China, such as Qinhuang, Han Wu, Tang Taizong, etc., they are helpless.

If Du Song Mangbu did not conquer Tibet, Li Longji would not have conquered Tibet. Even if Li Longji inflicted heavy losses on the Tubo army in Dafeichuan, no matter how heavy the Tubo casualties were, as long as Dusong Mangbu was still there, he would be able to hold Jishi Mountain.

Li Longji's ability to conquer Tibet was indeed a fluke.

"Although the conquest of Tibet is a fluke, it is impossible to succeed without Saburo's mastery and seizing the opportunity." Wu Zetian changed his words and praised Li Longji again.

This is also true, because luck is always reserved for those who are prepared, and if Li Longji is not prepared, if he does not get it, he will not be able to seize this opportunity quickly.

"Tubo is high, starting from Tubo, it is condescending, to conquer Tianzhu, why is it difficult? Thinking that Wang Xuance, with a few borrowed tens of thousands of troops, he can sweep half of Tianzhu, and San Lang has more than 200,000 elites, if he can't conquer Tianzhu, there will be no reason. Wu Zetian said lightly.

Wu Zetian is worthy of being the only empress in Chinese history, and she sees it very thoroughly.

Compared with Tianzhu, although Tubo is very poor, there are many poor mountains and bad waters, but it is extremely important at the strategic level, because Tubo is high and can overlook Tianzhu.

Jawaharlal Nehru's vision of a "Greater Indian Federation" encompassed the current Indian provinces of Asan, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Tibet. The reason why he included Tibetan Province in his vision was that Tibet Province has a particularly important strategic position, because Tibet Province is the highest place in the world and poses a great threat to Ah San.

According to tests, a missile with a range of 1,000 kilometers will have a range of 3,000 kilometers if it is fired in Tibetan Province.

"Mother is reasonable, reasonable." Li Dan showed that he didn't have a chance, he was quite embarrassed, and smiled a little reluctantly.

"There's one more thing, you have to be prepared." Wu Zetian mentioned a sentence and said: "Tianzhu has been conquered by San Lang, and it won't be long before San Lang will lead his army west." This westward expansion, Saburo not only has to conquer a large area of land, but is likely to encounter the Great Food. ”

"Caught in a big eat?" Li Dan, Li Xian and Li Chongrun were taken aback.

"That's right." Wu Zetian nodded heavily and said: "San Lang is conquering, preparing for the big battle with the Great Eater, and the Great Eater is not idle, they are also heading eastward." San Lang will encounter a big food nine times out of ten when he goes westward this time. ”

"Xie Niang reminds me that I know what to do." For Wu Zetian, Li Dan still trusts her, she is so successful, it seems that this matter is not far from ten.

Wangshe City, Bamboo Forest Essence House.

The Bamboo Forest Retreat is a famous scenic spot in the Wangshe City, and the reason why it is famous is because Sakyamuni enlightened here and is a Buddhist resort.

Li Longji, Zhang Shuo, Song Jing, Chen Xuanli, Yang Siqiao, Xue Zhi, Wang Maozhong, Zhang Xiaofei, Pei Xiaoke, Su Fan They gathered together, and then they were drinking tea, looking relaxed. It's very relaxing.

In the blink of an eye. More than half a year has passed. Li Longji and the others finally got busy with Tianzhu's affairs and came to an end. In the past six months, Li Longji has been so busy that they have no time to rest, and sometimes they are so busy that they can't even eat.

"It's been half a year, I've been busy every day, it's rare to have such a light time, it's really 'a rare half a day in life'." Li Longji drank tea. It's very emotional.

"Huh." How busy they have been in the past six months, everyone here knows it, and when they hear this, they will smile.

"Although there are still many things in Tianzhu, it has come to an end, what we should do next, you all talk about it." Li Longji glanced at everyone and said.

"Prince, I thought that the rest of Tianzhu's affairs would be handed over to Lord Song, and the prince could lead the army westward." Zhang was the first to speak.

"That's right, that's right. I've wanted to go west for a long time. I really want to meet the big cannibal and have a good fight with the big food. Zhang Xiaofei was the first to respond. He shouted at the top of his throat and said, "Fighting Tianzhu, it has been almost a year, and I haven't fought a good battle, it's really boring, it's boring." ”

The battle of destroying Tianzhu was too smooth, and it was unexpected. There was no hard battle, and the generals really didn't feel that it was enjoyable, and they agreed with Zhang Xiaofei's words: "That's right! ”

"I heard that the big cannibals are very capable of fighting, they are brave and good at fighting, and I don't know if they are as good as the rumors, I really want to fight with the big cannibals." Pei Xiaoke nodded heavily and shouted loudly, his eyes flashing with blazing battle intent.

The reason why the Tang Army was able to sweep the world and destroy dozens of countries was that they were not afraid of hard battles and bloody battles, and the more tough and bloody battles they had to fight, the more excited they were.

"Your wishes will come true." Song Jing looked at the excitement of the generals, nodded appreciatively, and said, "This time I go west, nine times out of ten, I will encounter a big food." ”

"Really?" The generals were pleasantly surprised, their eyes widened, and their eyes were full of high fighting spirit.

"Song Jing is not wrong, this time we are likely to encounter big food when we go west, and some of them will fight hard battles for you." Li Longji affirmed and said: "We are preparing, and the big cannibals are not idle, they are also preparing." We went all the way to the west to get as close to the Great Eclipse as possible, and similarly, the Great Eclipse went to the east to be as close to us as possible. I suppose they're almost in the Western Regions, right? ”

"This mud master, he, the governor of Persia, is too derelict in his duties, and he doesn't find out the situation of the Great Eclipse." Some people complain about the mud nirvana.

"This is also a matter of reproach, after all, we are far away in Tianzhu, and even if he gets the news, it will take a long time to send it." Li Longji knew that he couldn't blame Master Nirvana, and said, "What I mean, we will immediately send troops to the west, and strive to reach the countries of the Western Regions before the Great Cannibal and deter them. ”

If the Tang Dynasty occupied the Central Asian countries first, it would be of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty.

"Great! That's great! The generals howled.

"Well, Su Fan, you can stay in Tianzhu." Li Longji said to Su Fan.

"Ahh Su Fan exclaimed, jumped up, and said angrily: "Prince, the last general still has to think about eating big, and he can't stay, he can't stay." ”

Although it is idle to stay in Tianzhu, it is boring, it is better to play big food and bring energy, Su Fan does not want to stay.

"If you are told to stay, you will stay, this is a military order! It's not about buying groceries, it's okay to bargain. Li Longji's face sank.

"Yes." Although Su Fan was unwilling, he still accepted the order.

"After a little preparation, let's go." Li Longji officially ordered.

"Prince, don't prepare, we have already prepared, just waiting for your order." Chen Xuanli held his head high and said excitedly: "Brothers, in order to go west, they are always ready!" ”

"Very good! Let's go! Li Longji nodded with satisfaction.

At the sound of an order, the Tang army began to advance westward.

Teams of Tang troops galloped, splashing large patches of smoke and dust, connecting the sky to the ground, like huge dark clouds.

If you look at it from the air, you can see a black tide rushing towards the northwest.

A few days later, the Tang army reached the Tianzhu border.

"Pakistan is ahead. As long as we take Pakistan, we will be one step closer to Central Asia. Li Longji looked at Pakistan, patted his horse's back, and took the lead in entering Pakistan. (To be continued......)
