Under the attention of millions of Chang'an citizens and the expectations of hundreds of millions of Datang, Guo Rong and his Changying army embarked on the road to the west.

However, Chang'an City did not fall silent because of this, and the entire Tang Dynasty did not fall silent, everyone knows that this is not the end, but a beginning.

Tubo, Nanzhao, Wa, Balhae, Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo and other dependent or neighboring states around the Tang Dynasty;

Jiannan Province, Hebei Province, Liaodong, Huaixi, Jiaodong, Zhaoyi and other rebellious feudal towns;

Murwei, Yan, Xi, Khitan, Turkic and other alien races around the Tang Dynasty,

Almost at the same time, a rebellion or unrest was launched, which plunged the entire Tang Dynasty into turmoil.

Longxi, Longnan, Jiannan, Qianzhong, Shannan, Huainan, Guanzhong, Henan, Hebei, and Hedong were all invaded by the war, and Henan, Longnan, and Guanzhong, which were the main battlefields, were almost in ruins.

At the most dangerous time, the anti-Tang coalition army had even entered Guanzhong, and the distance from Chang'an was less than 300 miles, and even the emperor Li Yu died in the battle array.

The scene three years ago was too unforgettable for the entire Tang Dynasty and all the Tang people, especially the Tang people in Guanzhong, Henan, and Jiaodong.

The "world attack on the Tang" has passed, but in the eyes of the Tang people, who have not completely lost their blood, all this has no real past.

In the fourth year of Yuanhe, in January, the rebellion of the Liaodong tribes led to the beginning of the "world-wide attack on the Tang Dynasty".

In February, under the collusion between inside and outside, the Tang army in Liaodong collapsed, and Liaodong became a paradise for aliens and rebels.

In March, with the help of the reasons of the Liaodong rebellion, the rebels in the three towns of Hebei began to assemble.

In May, Jiannandong (West) Sichuan Jiedu made Liu Pi collude with Tubo to launch a rebellion, which was kept secret.

In June, Guo Rong, the general manager of the Henan Provincial March, defeated the rebellious Huaixi army and captured Wu Shaoxiang, the envoy of Huaixi Jiedu.

In July, Guo Rong led an army to raid Jiaodong, defeated the rebellious Jiaodong army, annihilated 150,000 Japanese soldiers who entered Kou Jiaodong, and completely annihilated the renegade Jiaodong Naval Division.

At the beginning of August, the three towns of Weibo, Chengde, and Lulong Hebei completely tore off their camouflage, and hundreds of thousands of troops marched south to besiege Bianzhou, an important town in the Central Plains.

In mid-August, Tubo, Jiannan, and Nanzhao successively raided Dasanguan, and the right guard of the forbidden army was annihilated, and Li Yun, the king of Li, was killed in battle.

In late August, Emperor Taishang Li Xu, the general of the Yulin Army Zhang Zhiyi led the Yulin Army out of Chencang Road to meet the enemy, and struck the Tubo, Nanzhao, and Jiannan coalition forces that were preparing to attack Chang'an in Chencang Road, and the Emperor Li Yu died in the battle array.

In September, after pacifying Jiaodong and Huaixi, Guo Rong led the main force of the forbidden army and the pro-Tang Dynasty to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Hebei rebels in the Central Plains, and completely annihilated the main force of the Hebei rebels of nearly 400,000 people.

Also in September, the commander of the Uighur coalition army, Zheyungu, led nearly 100,000 Uighur cavalry to raid Hexi, and the Tibetan soldiers and horses in the western direction of Longxi were forced to return to help, but they were pursued by the 20,000 elite cavalry of Shuofang and Zhenwu led by Fan Xichao, the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, for nearly 800 li.

In October, the Tibetan army that had entered the southern part of Kou Longnan began to retreat.

Emperor Li Chun arrived in Henan, and the Northern Expeditionary Army crossed the river and crossed the river to the north.

In November, Pei Zhi, chief of staff of the Yulin Army, led 20,000 defenders of Dazhen Pass to resist nearly 400,000 Tubo troops in the east and west for three months.

In December, the Northern Expeditionary Army raided Jixian County, and the last rebel leader of the three towns in Hebei, the Chengde Jiedu envoy, was beheaded, and the Hebei Domain, which had been entrenched in Hebei for nearly 60 years, was completely destroyed.

Yuan and five years.

In February, the remnants of the Lu Long Army led the remnants of the Lu Long Army to rebel, and the general Guo Rong led the general of the Liaodong Road March, and together with the Andong Metropolitan Protector and the Protector of Li Yu, they marched together by land and water to conquer Liaodong.

In March, the Andong Army, the Haiphong Army, and Zuo Weiwei crossed the Korean Peninsula and participated in the rebellion of Silla and Baekje.

In April, Guo Rong led his army to break through the last stronghold of the Lulong rebels at White Wolf Mountain and beheaded 100,000 people.

In May, Li Yu, the protector of the Andong Prefecture, led his army to defeat the main force of the Liaodong rebels in Xiangping, an important town in eastern Liaoning, and beheaded more than 100,000.

In late May, Guo Rong led the army

Broke through the last stronghold of the Liaodong rebels, Liucheng, annihilated nearly 200,000 enemies, and the Liaodong rebels were annihilated.

In June, Li Yu led his army to rely on Xiangping and annihilated 150,000 troops of the Bohai Navy in Kou Liaodong.

In October, the Forbidden Army, the Andong Army, and the Liaodong Tang Allied Army, with nearly 200,000 troops, attacked the Bohai State in eight directions.

In November, Li Yu led an army to raid Longquan Mansion in Shangjing, Bohai State, and the 60,000 elite Bohai border troops stationed in Buyeo surrendered to Guo Rong.

In December, Anzhou, located in the easternmost part of the Bohai Kingdom, was captured by the Tang Concord Army, and the Bohai Kingdom was overthrown by Dayuan Yu, the king of Bohai.

It has been three years since the biggest crisis after the Anshi Rebellion, the "World Attack on Tang" that almost led to the downfall of Li Tang, and it has been three years since the death of the respected and beloved Emperor Taishang.

Li Chun once issued an edict and mourned for three years.

However, the period of "three-year mourning" is not a full three years, or a full thirty-six months, but a three-year period, i.e., a span of three years.

This is what the "Book of Rites: Three Years of Questions" says, "The three-year mourning will end in twenty-five months."

The national funeral is a ritual law, and Li Chun is also a person who keeps filial piety, but in addition to keeping filial piety and etiquette, Li Chun is still an emperor whose ambition has been thoroughly stimulated, and he is full of radicalism and adventurism.

The national funeral is indeed in line with the law of etiquette and filial piety, but for the people's livelihood and the livelihood of the people, the damage is really not small.

For Li Chun, who urgently needs to restore Datang's strength, the national funeral is to gain recognition for his legal principles and filial piety, but it does not mean that Li Chun will take the mourning period to the limit.

Emperor Taishang Li Yu died in August of the fifth year of Yuanhe, according to Li Chun's edict, in February of the seventh year of Yuanhe, the mourning period of the Emperor Taishang has ended, and the wedding banquet and celebration and entertainment can be resumed.

However, the national mourning is indeed over, but the subsequent development is different from what ordinary people expected.

It stands to reason that when the national funeral is over, the wine can be drunk, the songs can be sung, and the dances can be danced, but from Chang'an to Guanzhong, from Guanzhong to Lingnan, from Lingnan to Liaodong, the dances of orchids, the ballads of singers, and the banquets of honors cannot wash away the sadness and melancholy that permeate the entire Tang Dynasty.

The national funeral is indeed over, but the entire Datang is still immersed in that indescribable depression.

It seems that everyone's is waiting for something,

It seems that all the people are looking forward to something,

Until the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the invincible army among the people of the Tang Dynasty set foot on Suzaku Street again.

First of all, the Mid-Autumn Festival was a grand military parade with a scale of more than 100,000 and an unprecedented scale.

and then the eldest princess of Yan Kingdom, who has been absent from Chang'an for more than 20 years, returns to Chang'an,

After that, a letter of Hao Hao Tang Tang begging for Tubo,

Finally, it was a grand and grand ceremony of the western expedition of the Changying Army and Guo Rong's worship of the general.

It wasn't until the soldiers of the Changying Army marched with firm steps and sang "Jun is not seen, the Han Dynasty is ......" when they left Chang'an in the west, and Chang'an City, which had been suppressed for three years, seemed to have regained its life in just one month, that everyone understood what they were suppressing.

……………………

"The world's attack on the Tang Dynasty" is a crisis for Datang.

In the face of this crisis, Datang did not collapse as the conspirators and careerists expected, but made Datang reborn in danger, more powerful and invincible.

More importantly, after the crisis, when it came time to reward meritorious deeds, this crisis has become the greatest qualification and glory for all parties.

Emperor Taishang, who personally drove the expedition and shed the last drop of blood for the Tang Dynasty, has a status in the minds of the Tang people that is close to a god, and has re-stabilized the Li Tang royal family, which has been seriously questioned, in an orthodox position, and it is unshakable.

In the face of danger, he survived the crisis, drove the imperial expedition in person, and pacified the emperor Li Chun of Hebei, who gained unparalleled prestige, and the throne was as stable as Mount Tai.

The new forbidden army group with Guo Rong, Li Yu, and Pei Zhi as the core defeated millions of people head-on and became the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty is under the core leadership of the system of important ministers and the system of service meetings

The center, the imperial court, played an unprecedented role in the entire process of quelling the rebellion, and the members of the council were either from Guan Longxungui after surrendering to Cheng, or from the civil official group of the family, and the rest were members of the new forbidden army.

When the entire mainstream of the imperial court, from Wen to Wu, from Qiu Ba to the emperor, becomes the beneficiary, everything about this crisis will naturally be magnified infinitely.

Although the reasons are different, the goals are different, and the expectations are different, after the "world-wide attack on the Tang Dynasty", the emperor Li Chun, the new forbidden army group, the old Xungui group, and the Shijia civil official group, all the forces invariably showed everything about the "world-wide attack on the Tang" in front of all the Tang people.

Under the deliberate guidance of these real magnates of the Tang Dynasty, they went in another direction.

That is, the "world's attack on Tang" is also a kind of humiliation, and the former "Weishui Alliance", and the former "Battle of Talas", and the same humiliation as the Tubo people once captured Chang'an.

The Tang people have never believed in repaying grievances with virtue, nor are they too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.

When the strength is not good, there may be a lying salary to taste the courage, but after the strength is enough, it will definitely return the things that are borne by punch by punch.

This is true when facing the Turks, this is true when facing Xue Yantuo, this is the case when facing the Great Cannibals, and this is the case when facing the Tibetans.

And now, the Tang people's thoughts are still the same as for the existence of triggering the "world-wide attack on the Tang".

……………………

The three towns of Hebei, which were the source of the rebellion, have completely ceased to exist.

Goguryeo, which came back from the dead, and the Silla, Baekje, and Balhae kingdoms that participated in the rebellion as Tang vassal states or vassal states became the real main forces of the Liaodong rebellion, and now, they have completely become history.

In the process of countering the rebellion, the Murwei, Jin, Xi, Khitan, and Turks who participated in the rebellion in Liaodong were killed, wounded, maimed, or killed, and they had already paid enough price for these fools who were fooled into rebellion.

Jumping sideways around the entire Tang Dynasty, Chen Hongzhi, the former lieutenant of the Shence Army Protector Army, who contributed to the anti-Tang Alliance, died of illness before the fall of Longquan Mansion in Shangjing, Bohai State.

But his body was dug up by Li Yu, and after being pickled, he was sent to Chang'an, where he enjoyed the punishment of a thousand knives, and Chen Hongzhi's family enjoyed the joint sitting package of exterminating the nine clans because of Chen Hongzhi.

However, it was not enough, the other half who participated in the "World Attack on Tang" are still alive.

Although Chen Hongzhi is dead, Liaodong and Jiaodong, which Li Shidao have worked hard for 20 years, have also lost the price, but Li Shidao, who has forgotten his ancestors and wolf ambitions, and occupies the magpie's nest, is still alive, and with the protection of the ocean, he is quite nourishing as the emperor in the Wa Kingdom.

The Jiannan Army suffered heavy losses in this rebellion, which can be described as a broken bone, but Liu Bi, who was also the envoy of the two towns of Jiannan Dongchuan and Jiannan Xichuan, but colluded with Tubo and Nanzhao to launch a rebellion in Shudi, is still alive, and Shu is still under the control of Liu Bi and the rebellious Jiannan Army.

Nanzhao, the land of projectiles, but swaying between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, surrendering and rebelling, rebelling and surrendering, this time as a balance between the existence of Tubo and Jiannan is purely an addition, but it is also a blessing in disguise, not many troops, but the loss is not big, the king of Nanzhao secretly rejoiced in this, and even considered how to continue to bet between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo next time.

Tibet, as another main force in the "world-wide attack on the Tang Dynasty", has lost losses that cannot be described in a simple word, not only losing a large number of troops, but also losing a lot of wealth and land in the Western Regions.

But through this round of consumption and clarity, the forces led by Chisu Rinche, Nima Bazaar, and Tubo's native Benjiao finally completely controlled the entire Tubo, although the strength on paper has decreased, but after integration, Tubo's strength has increased instead of decreasing, and Tubo is still the only opponent at the same level as Datang around Datang.

……………………

At first glance, these guys are still alive and well, but what they don't know is that the attack of the Changying Army is just the beginning.

From this moment on, Datang, a war machine, will be in full swing.

Guo Rong directly led only a 40,000-strong Changying army, but the Changying army and Guo Rong were definitely not fighting alone

。

To the south of Guo Rong's main attack direction, the Jianbei Army (Jianbei Nanchuan), the Longyou Army, and the two "Longyou Tang Cooperative Army" founded by Guo Rong, the most suitable for plateau operations, nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, have quietly arrived at the homeland of the Tubo people.

In the southern part of the entire Tang Dynasty, Zhang Jieyi and Pei Zhi had already led the Yulin Army and the left and right military guards, and quietly arrived at the Qianzhong Road bordering Jiannan and Nanzhao.

In addition, nearly 60,000 people of the border army, guard army, government army, and town army who were good at mountain and jungle warfare in Qianzhong Province and Lingnan Province were reorganized and reorganized, and together with the Yulin Army and the left and right military guards, a force of 120,000 soldiers and horses was formed.

Between Qianzhong Road and Guanzhong, in the south of Guanzhong and the west of Shannan, the left guard and right guard of the forbidden army have firmly blocked the road out of Sichuan, completely cutting off Liu Pi's westward journey.

In the north of Guo Rong's main attack direction, under the command of Fan Xichao, the two towns of Shuofang and Zhenwu, 60,000 cavalry and 70,000 foot soldiers were ready.

After crossing the desert from Zhenwu and Shuofang to the north, the 150,000 Uighur cavalry, 30,000 Anbei Army, and 80,000 "Mobei Tang Army" under the overall command of Zheyun Valley were also ready to attack.

In addition to the troops invested in the first line, the troops in the second line have also been dispatched.

Behind Guo Rong's main attack direction of the Changying Army.

The Shenwu army led by Li Rui followed closely behind, with two 10,000-strong guards on the left and on the right, guarding their flanks.

Further back, nearly 100,000 town troops in the direction of Henan Province had already packed their bags and equipment, ready to keep up with Guo Rong's army at any time.

In the direction of the Northwest Frontier Army, behind Shuofang and Zhenwu, there is also the support of the Hedong and Hebei armies, which includes not only military strength but also financial and material resources.

Behind Qianzhong Road and Shannan West Road, the grain, grass and manpower of Lingnan Road and Jiangnan Road are frantically converging to the southwest.

However, the Western Expedition is not all, Li Chun, Guo Rong, and even the entire Tang Dynasty still remember the Emperor of the island country.

In the end, the Tokaido was not established, but Li Chun specially set up a defense envoy for the East China Sea, which was led by Li Yu.

Under the coordination of Andong Dahu and the defense envoy of the East China Sea, Li Yu, the entire Tokaido has begun to make comprehensive preparations, and when Guo Rong returns from Qiuzi, it is the time when Li Shidao is destroyed.
