Chapter 93: The Great Wall of the Country

Chen Shuozhen is one of the victims, dragging his young body, desperately trying to survive, Tang Gaozong inherited the legacy of Zhenguan and created the rule of Yonghui.

After the Shenlong Revolution, Tang Zhongzong restored the name of the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Xuanzong made great efforts to govern the country after ascending the throne, creating a prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty of all nations.

At the end of Tianbao, the population of the country reached about 80 million, after the Anshi Rebellion, the division of feudal towns and the dictatorship of eunuchs led to the gradual decline of national power, and in the middle and late periods, after Tang Xianzong Yuan and Zhongxing, Tang Wuzong Huichang Zhongxing, Tang Xuanzong Dazhong's governance was revived.

The Huangchao Rebellion destroyed the foundation of Tang Dynasty rule, followed by Zhu Wen's usurpation of the Tang Dynasty, the fall of the Tang Dynasty, and China's entry into five dynasties and ten kingdoms.

The territory in the west and north is beyond the boundaries of modern China, since the defeat of the Eastern Turks, Xue Yantuo, the Son of Heaven by the four tribes of the Emperor as the Khan of Heaven.

He also used the system of fetters to recruit the Turkic, Uighur, Tiele, Khitan, Jian, and Murowei peoples to attack the enemy countries, and let the vassal states such as Nanzhao, Silla, and Bohai learn their own culture and systems.

Science and technology, culture, economy, and art have diversified characteristics, and a large number of famous artists have emerged in poetry, calligraphy, and painting, such as the poet immortal Li Bai, the poet saint Du Fu, the poet Mo Bai Juyi, the calligrapher Yan Zhenqing, the painter Wu Daozi, Li Sixun, and the musician Li Guinian、、、

It was the most powerful empire in the world at that time, with a reputation spread far and wide, and had contacts with Asian and European countries.

After the Tang Dynasty, overseas mostly called Chinese Tang people, which is why Li Shimin was called the first emperor of the ages.

At this moment, Li Shimin, the bitterness in his heart, perhaps similar to Lu Dongzan, took one last look, the tall walls of the palace.

"Let's go!"

There was a hint of firmness in his eyes, for Tubo, the place where their Songtsan Gampo lived was not as good as the people of Datang, and this time they went to Datang.

For him Lu Dongzan, it can be said that he has broadened his horizons, whether it is the prosperity of Chang'an or the wealth of the people, in fact, Lu Dongzan knows in his heart that I am afraid that there is only the surrounding boundary of Chang'an.

The life of the common people is a little better, and as for Songzhou, which is close to their Tibet, the common people there are not living happily, which is true, because they came from there.

As for the time to go back, with the escort of the 3,000 cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, I believe that there will be no danger along the way, as for the smooth arrival in Songzhou, then there will be the army of Tubo to take over.

Lu Dongzan still took his own safety very seriously, and just when he looked back at the walls of the palace, there were already eunuchs in the palace who had left Chang'an City and headed towards the western camp.

As the name suggests, the West Camp is a camp located in the west of Chang'an City, and the situation in the East Camp is different, the number of people in the West Camp is obviously much larger, and since last year's war with Tibet, it was taken by surprise.

Songzhou was almost conquered, if it hadn't taken advantage of the strong city wall, the Tang Dynasty at this time was probably still in a panic.

In the past, everyone didn't pay much attention to the small barbarian country of Tibet, but now it seems that like the Turks in the north, they are all fierce wolf cubs.

At this time, Datang realized that it was a pity that it was a little hindsight, but fortunately, it was not too late to make amends, the master of the West Camp would be Xu Shiji, the Great Wall of the country, and the name of the world, these eight words are a summary of Xu Shiji.

Xu Shiji Zimao Gong, originally a general of the Wagang Army, a young man from Zhai Rang, the leader of the Wagang Army Li Mi became an independent force after the Tang Dynasty, but still insisted on descending to the Tang Dynasty as Li Mi's subordinates, in order to show that he did not forget the old master.

was called a pure minister by Li Yuan, and was called one of the three famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty by Li Shimin, and the other two were Li Jing and Xue Wanche.

Especially in the period at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, the people were displaced, and some warlords began a period of bloody hegemony, and Xu Shiji's family background was also ordinary.

If it hadn't caught up with that turbulent era, maybe he would have farmed honestly at home, married a wife and had children, and did nothing for the rest of his life.

It's just a pity that after being attacked by Dou Jiande when he was a teenager, he had to surrender because his father was taken hostage by Dou, and plotted to assassinate Dou and return to the Tang Dynasty, but he failed to succeed and escaped by luck, so he entered the Famous General's Villa.

Under the strong domination of the urgent need, after several years of hard work, Xu Shiji became a teacher, followed Li Shimin to destroy Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, and Liu Heimin, and served as the main general to destroy Xu Yuanlang.

With Li Xiaogong's annihilation of Fu Gongyi, he refused Li Shimin's wooing, did not participate in the Xuanwumen Rebellion, and destroyed the Turks with Li Jing during the Zhenguan period.

After 16 years, he was responsible for the defense of the northern side of the Tang Dynasty, defeated the forces of Xue Yantuo many times, and attacked Goguryeo with Li Shimin.

Tang Gaozu, Tang Taizong, Tang Gaozong three dynasties, won the trust and responsibility of the imperial court, was relied on by the imperial court as the Great Wall, Tang Gaozong repainted its image in Lingyan Pavilion. After the destruction of Goguryeo, he died of illness in the following year, and the relatives of Gaozong mourned, dropped out of the dynasty for seven days, gave the Taiwei, said Zhenwu, and accompanied the burial of Zhaoling, life is an adventure again and again, and some people grasped it, so they achieved a great reputation.

There is no doubt that Xu Shiji is a smart person, whether he chooses or stands in line, he is a well-deserved classic, Xu Shiji has already received the holy decree to escort the Tibetan envoy back to China.

He didn't have much thought in his heart, but he was a little unhappy with that Songtsen Gampo, after all, he was just an uncivilized barbarian.

"The toad still wants to eat swan meat, hum!"

When he arrived at the barracks on horseback, Lu Dongzan reluctantly left the palace, this trip to the Tang Dynasty, the harvest is not small, but it is a pity that the matter of harmony did not succeed.

Of course, their Songtsan Gampo in Tibet is not that they can't marry a wife, and it's not that no one likes it, although their appearance can't be compared with the three thousand beauties of the Tang Palace, but there are always one or two who are outstanding!

Why do you have to be close, it is not that you want to use the influence of Datang to radiate to the surrounding area.

Of course, they didn't dare to march towards Songzhou again, Lu Dongzan's plan was to first march to the north, and then to the west, where there were countries in the Western Regions.

Since the Han Dynasty established the capital protectorate, there are more than a dozen small countries that have been sheltered by the Central Plains, but after all, it is far from water that can not quench the thirst of the near, coupled with the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has just been a little astringent.

For the countries of the Western Regions, it is indeed beyond the reach of some whips, and over the years, the Turks have not been forgotten.
