The continuous victories of the Iron Blood Army in the front, the scouts went through a lot of hardships and passed to Xiangyang as quickly as possible, so that Li Rupei could get the battle report in the fastest time.

At the end of April, the iron-blooded army attacked Yucheng City, exterminated the three thousand soldiers under the king of Lhasa, and killed the generals under the king of Lhasa, after that, the iron-blooded army soldiers did not rest, marched into Bowo, Motuo and Luowo in one go, took these cities, and dealt a heavy blow to the subordinates of the king of Lhasa, and then the iron-blooded army rested in Motuo, waiting for the arrival of grain and grass, that is, at this time, the four kings of Tubo began to wake up, united to prepare to resist the iron-blooded army, Gao Chibang, Zhu Wen and Qin Erhei discussed, the soldiers were divided into two roads, All the way to encircle and suppress the Tubo army from other aspects that came to reinforce, all the way to the direction of Qusong to a huge threat, the army under the king of Ali and the army under the king of Yaze really fooled, did not dare to reinforce from the direction of Qusong, detoured to Lin Zhou and Dazi, I didn't think that the army led by Zhu Wen was waiting for them, after several battles, whether it was in terms of equipment or the combat effectiveness of the sergeants, the two reinforcements army that was at an absolute disadvantage suffered a heavy blow and had to flee in the direction of Dangxiong and Nagqu.

In view of the changes in the situation in Tibet, after the grain and grass from Xichuan arrived in Metuo, Gao Chibang made a decision again to open the road and let the reinforced Tibetan army enter Luozhi, and he was ready to gather a large army to fight a decisive battle in Luozhi, hoping that through this battle, all the Tibetan armies would be completely wiped out.

Gao Chibang's decision-making played an important role, seeing that the offensive of the Tang army weakened, King Ali and King Yaze thought that the Tang army began to adapt to the climate and environment of Tibet, they personally led the army, to Luo some reinforcements, the reason why the two went to Luo is also because the army under their command suffered a heavy blow, only by uniting with the king of Lhasa, it is possible to attack the Tang army. Otherwise, they will go their own way, and in the end it will be a dead end.

By July, the king of Lhasa, the king of Ali and the king of Yaze were all concentrated in Luo, they had common interests and could unite for the time being, as for resisting the attack of the Tang army, or what would happen after the Tang army withdrew, that was the next thing to consider.

At the same time they sent messengers. Go to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and beg the Tang army to evacuate.

Xie Yuxin, who entered Longyou Road, also had a large number of reports to Xiangyang, Xie Yuxin's progress was smoother, and in June, he completely restored the Anxi Protectorate and the four towns of Anxi, which were firmly controlled by the iron-blooded army, in fact, if you want to completely recover Longyou Road, it is very critical to control the four towns of Anxi, of course, there is a key point. That is, it is necessary to completely control Longyou and Hexi Prefectures to prevent the four towns of Anxi from being completely cut off from the mainland, but this situation will basically not occur at present. Tubo has been beaten by the iron-blooded army and is about to perish, and there is no energy to pay attention to Longyou and Hexi Prefectures, and the king of Yalongjue, who occupies here, has been beaten like a lost dog by the iron-blooded army led by Xie Yuxin. The time is not far from complete destruction.

It was at this time that Gao Chibang, Xie Yuxin, Zhu Wen and Qin Erhei and others completely understood why Li Rupei did not hesitate to spend huge manpower and material resources. At the same time, the conquest of Tubo and Longyou Dao, in fact, the two places are hugely related, and only attacking one place will not have a very good effect.

Xie Yuxin took control of the four towns of Anxi and rebuilt the Anxi Protectorate, although it was a nominal reconstruction, but this marked the complete restoration of Datang's control over Longyou Dao.

The Turks in the east of Longyou Road, after being hit hard by the Iron Blood Army several times, have long since retracted, and it should be said that the strength of the Turks is far less than the original, and in the face of the sharp attack of the Iron Blood Army, they basically have no power to fight back.

The training of the Iron-blooded Army is the most advanced, and the logistics supply is vigorously guaranteed, even the war horses equipped with the soldiers are much stronger than the war horses of the Tubo and Turks, plus they have strong backing support, and the victory in the battle is expected.

Xie Yuxin stationed in the four towns of Anxi, which is equivalent to blocking the route of Tubo's escape, the Tubo army can only stick to the Luo, there is no other direction to escape, the previous Tubo army can rely on the terrain and a high degree of adaptability to the environment, in front of the iron-blooded army has no role in the slightest, the iron-blooded army soldiers strictly implement the training requirements of Daxingtaifu, fully adapted to the plateau climate and environment.

These victories were expected by Li Rupei, but between the lines, he could know the difficulties and tribulations experienced by the soldiers of the Iron and Blood Army.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has always been regarded as a forbidden area for human survival, and the price paid to fight in such a place is unimaginable to ordinary people, and the ordeals suffered by Gao Chibang, Xie Yuxin, Zhu Wen and Qin Erhei and others, Li Rupei can think of it, although they have never mentioned it in the report.

But this kind of dedication is necessary, unify the Tang Dynasty, establish a new dynasty, stand on top of the world, this is Li Rupei's true thoughts, everything he does, is working in this direction, as long as there is enough time, he will be able to achieve the goal, to create a powerful dynasty that ordinary people dare not imagine.

Daxingtaifu is still busy, the autumn harvest season has arrived, the local government began to collect taxes, after a few years of recuperation, the common people have long resumed a peaceful life, the south has been completely calmed down, there is no invasion of foreign enemies, there is no war, everywhere is reflected is a peaceful and serene atmosphere, the government at all levels strictly follows the requirements of Daxingtaifu and the Jiedu Envoy Yamen to do things, such a situation is the most favorite of the people, the people are peaceful, and the prosperous scene soon began to appear.

The population of the south began to increase substantially, the development of commerce and trade lowered prices, and salt was no longer a high commodity, but entered the homes of ordinary people, all of which indicated that the foundation of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty had begun to appear.

The war to conquer Tubo and recover Longyoudao has achieved successive victories, which has made many people pour into the south, Xiangyang has gathered the most people, long exceeded the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang, a large number of readers in the north gathered in Xiangyang, all kinds of poetry competitions have appeared, the reality that the readers saw, and the victory of the war, so that they can't help but praise loudly.

All kinds of praise voices are filled in Xiangyang, Liangzhou, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Chengdu and even Guangzhou.

Cui Anqian, Zheng Congyan and others were sincerely happy in the face of such a situation, but Li Rupei was very calm.

After Gao Chibang, Zhu Wen and Qin Erhei completely completed the information of the siege of Luo and arrived in Xiangyang, Cui Anqian and others came to the palace to report the good news to Li Rupei, they knew that the decisive battle against Tubo was about to begin, as long as this battle achieved a decisive victory, the Tang Dynasty would completely defeat Tubo and include Tubo in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the elated Cui Anqian and the others, Li Rupei still had a faint smile on his face.

After everyone congratulated, Li Rupei slowly spoke.

"There are a lot of voices of praise outside, and the expedition of the Iron and Blood Army will also achieve a decisive victory, in this case, it is normal for you to be happy, but I want to remind you that the more you face a favorable situation, the more you need to be calm, so that you can know what else is not good."

"I often think that the people are very simple, and the requirements are not very high, giving them peace and prosperity is what the government should do, and now the government has just made some efforts in this regard, it should be said that it is not enough at all, but the people are already very satisfied, and there are such people, and they should feel lucky."

"Ask yourself, many places in the south have only achieved peace, and the people are not rich, that is, they can not go hungry, so there are still many things that the government needs to do, how to make the people rich, I am afraid that the government will face a huge challenge in the next step, if this problem cannot be solved well, the stable situation will be difficult to maintain for a long time."

"There are still a lot of problems faced by the Tang Dynasty, the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang, the eunuchs control the government, what they think of is their own interests, completely ignoring the lives of the people, as for the emperor, I don't want to make any evaluation, the feudal towns in the north are even stronger, and there are faint signs of confrontation against the imperial court, you should not forget the Anshi Rebellion, which is the fuse that makes the Tang Dynasty decline."

"Many people blame the decline of the Tang Dynasty on the Anshi Rebellion, on An Lushan's body, but a certain does not see it this way, why the incomparably strong Tang Dynasty will suffer from the Anshi Rebellion, is it said that the sky has fallen into the sky, it is obviously impossible, recently, a certain carefully looked at the historical sites that recorded the Anshi Rebellion, some of the evaluations are barely to the point, and more evaluations are nonsense."

"The fall of Emperor Xuanzong is the root cause of the Anshi Rebellion, but no one has made such an evaluation."

When Li Rupei said this, the room instantly quieted down, as a child of Li Tang's royal family, it was a shocking thing to evaluate his ancestors like this.

"You don't have to be surprised, the Li Tang royal family has suffered too many twists and turns, if you can't reflect thoroughly, you can't learn the lessons of the past, it is a matter of time before you fall, Emperor Xuanzong's greed for pleasure led to the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the tumor that directly appeared in the Anshi Rebellion is the division of the feudal town, Emperor Xianzong has made some efforts to crack down on the situation of the division of the feudal town, hoping to revitalize the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately Emperor Xianzong's own shortcomings, including the lack of ability, led to all his efforts, in vain, and then the eunuchs were chaotic, It also makes the revitalization of Datang a dream of Nanke. ”

"You are by the side of a certain person, you should be clear about a certain idea, you can't completely revitalize the Tang Dynasty, you can't establish a unified and strong Datang, you won't be particularly happy, there are a lot of things to do, you must work hard with a certain person to complete this goal, when the time comes, a certain wine and talk, and you get drunk together."
