Chapter 874: Belonging to the Tang Dynasty
Completely belong to the Tang Dynasty and become the people of the Tang Dynasty, this is not Murong Shun's decision alone, it is the result of his discussion with the only remaining nobles of Tuyuhun, in fact, the nobles of Tubo are also very supportive of this decision, last time they were already wiped out by Li Jing and the plague-like black army, and this time they were almost scared by the destruction of the country by Tubo, and now that the Tang Dynasty has destroyed Tubo, not only do they not feel relieved, but they feel even more afraid, think about it, the Tang Dynasty only sent 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses to destroy Tubo. Who wants to be cold all over the body? What's more, after the annexation of Tubo, it means that their Tuyuhun has been surrounded by the Tang Dynasty on three sides, and it feels like a bare-handed person falling into a wolf's den, so after belonging to the Tang Dynasty, they are still human beings, but Murong Shun has been hesitating, because if Tuyuhun belongs to the Tang Dynasty, it will have the greatest impact on him, because he is no longer the Great Khan of Tuyuhun, the emperor may make him a county king or something, or he may also grant him an official position, but he is no longer the Great Khan of Tuyuhun, There is no such power to kill and seize, however, after thinking about it again, he still decided to belong to the Tang Dynasty, because this is the best choice, take the initiative to choose to belong to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Emperor will not do it, he can still live a rich life, and he does not take the initiative to belong to the Tang Dynasty, maybe one day he will die in vain, so, Murong Shun followed Li Yong and them to Chang'an, and did not cause any turmoil in Fu Qi City at all, and now the Tang army has been stationed in Fu Qi City for a long time, and the people of Tuyuhun have long been used to it, Because the military discipline of the Tang army is very good, and does not bully the people, they not only do not feel uncomfortable, but feel very relieved, the mighty army left Fu Qi City, towards the direction of the Tang Dynasty, and will pass through a place on the way, that is, Xinghai City, but now Xinghai City has been populated again, and it has changed its vitality again, and even the traces of the great war have been erased by time, and the corpses everywhere have long been gone, buried under the deep ground, and have become fertilizer for the grass.
"Is that Xinghai City?"
Princess Zhenzhu asked, pointing to the castle that appeared in front of her.
Li Yong nodded.
"Well, that's Xinghai City!"
Mengsa Chijiang and Princess Zhenzhu looked at Xinghai City, and their hearts swelled with all kinds of feelings, before, they didn't understand why Zampu couldn't break through Xinghai City, but now they understand, because they and Li Yong went to the battlefield together, they followed Li Yong's side, and saw with their own eyes how powerful the muskets and artillery were, that was still on the empty battlefield, if the muskets and artillery were erected on the city, even if the walls of Xinghai City were not high, even if there were more soldiers and horses, they couldn't capture Xinghai City! Although they knew that Zampu was ambushed to death by Lu Dongzan's father and son on the way back, they still couldn't help but sweat when they saw Xinghai City, and Princess Zhenzhu sighed faintly.
"At that time, I kept telling my brother not to send troops, but unfortunately, my brother did not listen to my advice and insisted on sending troops."
Li Yong said with relief.
"The past is gone, there is no need to think about it, it is useless to think more, we should live in the present and focus on the future."
The past is gone, live in the present, focus on the future, Princess Zhenzhu nodded slightly, looked over Xinghai City to the direction of Datang, her eyes became firm again, the army did not stay in Xinghai City, quickly crossed Xinghai City, and continued to move in the direction of Datang, although Tuyuhun is a subject country of Datang, and now it is decided to belong to Datang and completely become a part of Datang, but for Li Yong, they still feel strange, when the army enters the territory of Minzhou, Li Yong and Xu Shiji They feel a cordial taste, Finally back to Datang! The people of the Tang Dynasty along the road saw the triumphant army all welcomed and encouraged, the news spread, the surrounding counties were boiling, the people in other places were more proud when they heard the good news, and the people of Minzhou and even Longyou were not only proud when they heard the good news, but also a sense of steadfastness, Tubo was wiped out by the army, which means that the biggest threat to them has been eliminated, and they no longer have to worry about being killed by the war, how can this not be exciting? Luoyang, a luxurious courtyard, the sound of the piano lingers in the pavilions, but in this beautiful sound of the piano mixed with the sound of hurried footsteps seems a little abrupt, as the footsteps get closer and closer, Wang Jiuer hands attached to the piano, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, Wang Jiuer looked up at the maid's eyes a little unhappy, because the most important thing in the piano is the mood, disturbed by the footsteps, she has no mood to play the piano.
"Miss, you told me that if there is news of the Duke of Rongfu, no matter when and where, I will tell you as soon as possible."
The maid also knew that the young lady was disturbed when she didn't like to touch the piano the most, and when Wang Jiu'er heard it, she immediately put the unhappiness of being disturbed just now behind her, and hurriedly asked.
"Is there any news of Li Yong?"
After the fleet went to sea, Wang Jiuer did not stay in Haizhou all the time, after all, the fleet did not know how long it would take to come back, and it was useless for her to wait in Haizhou, but she didn't want to return to Chang'an, after all, Chang'an also had too many memories, if she stayed in Chang'an, she was afraid that she would miss Li Yong too much if she stayed in Chang'an. In fact, there are many things to deal with in the family, originally Wang Qingyun wanted to take her south to deal with family affairs, but she didn't want to go south, because the south was too far away, she was afraid that she would miss Li Yong's news, after thinking about it, she decided to stay in Luoyang, Luoyang is very close to Chang'an, she can quickly learn about Li Yong's news, and she will not miss Li Yong too much, and the family also has many properties in Luoyang, she can be regarded as able to help the family deal with some affairs, the imagination is very good, in fact, even if she stays in Luoyang, She didn't miss Li Yong less than half a point, and what made her even more speechless was that Li Yong not only went out to Tuyuhun, but also led troops to attack Tubo, which made her very worried, she almost didn't go directly to Princess Changle, didn't she say that she would go to Tuyuhun? Why did you run to fight Tibet again? The emperor is still unreasonable? Moreover, Li Yong has not heard from her for a long time, she has really invited a lot of invitations these days, fortunately, she finally waited for the good news, which made her feel a lot more relieved, and she was in the mood to stroke the piano, but her piano sound was also full of lovesickness, and sometimes she even laughed at herself, feeling like a deep resentful woman.
"Yes, Miss, the latest news, the army of the Duke of China has arrived in Tuyuhun City."
The maid hurriedly said, now Wang Jiu'er couldn't sit still, and said continuously.
"Hurry up and prepare, let's return to Chang'an!"
After the army entered Longyou, the news continued to spread to Chang'an, Chang'an City up to the emperor's ministers, down to the people of Li knew that the army was about to triumph, and would soon return to Chang'an, so the people of the entire Chang'an City were looking forward to it, when the army went out, everyone just thought that this was a battle of revenge, but they didn't expect that it would become a war of destruction in the end, not only to destroy the country, but also to destroy the two countries, Tubo was destroyed and occupied by the army, Tuyuhun was directly frightened to belong to the Tang Dynasty, The news that Murong Shun came to the Tang Dynasty with the army to meet the emperor and ask for belonging to the Tang Dynasty has already spread to Chang'an, Li Er is still very happy about this, this expedition is simply killing two birds with one stone, and he is also very pleased with Murong Shun's knowledge, otherwise he will have to use some means, after all, he is the Khan of the Heavens, and he wants to be famous, but the news that Murong Shun, the Great Khan of Tuyuhun came to Chang'an with the army to meet the emperor and ask for belonging to the Tang Dynasty, did not cause any waves in Chang'an, it is really because today's Tuyuhun has no sense of existence, Because in the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun is too weak! Tubo was easily wiped out by the army, how strong can Tuyuhun be when he was beaten by Tubo and almost wiped out the country? A country that has been wiped out once, is simply a little weak chicken, such a small weak chicken came to surrender, the proud Tang people feel that there is no sense of achievement, the news that Tubo was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty not only spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, but also quickly spread throughout the Western Regions, the original Tuyuhun battle was noticed by the world, even the countries of the Western Regions are very concerned about this, as early as the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turks, Xue Yantuo, Uighurs, Wei and other countries are very concerned about this battle, knowing that the leader of the army is Xu Shiji, Li Yong, Cheng Yanjin, After Wei Chigong, they felt that the Tang army had a great chance of winning this battle, and the Tubo people were likely to be driven back to the plateau, and sure enough, the Tang army won a complete victory in this battle, and completely annihilated the Tubo people with a very large army, and even Songtsen Gampo almost died under Xinghai City, when they knew the news, the people of the Western Regions were very disappointed, because the Tang Dynasty was too strong, giving them great pressure, so they hoped that the Tang Dynasty would be defeated, and hoped that the Tang Dynasty would be weakened, but the result was not as they wished, and later, They also heard that the Tang army is now invading Tibet and wants to capture it in one fell swoop, they immediately became happy again, because in their opinion, the Tang army is seeking its own death, although the Tang Dynasty is stronger than the national strength of Tubo, and it has won a big victory and hit Tubo hard, but Tubo occupies a favorable position after all, and the Tang Dynasty does not have many troops, they feel that the Tang army that is on the expedition is likely to be wiped out, but I don't know whether the Tang Emperor will die down or continue to send troops to recruit after the annihilation of this army. Just when all countries were waiting to see the excitement, but waiting for the news that Lu Dongzan killed himself with a horizontal sword, all the Tubo clans surrendered, and the Tang army completely occupied Tubo, when they heard the news, the Great Khan nobles of all countries were a little blind, because this result was too unexpected, Tubo was located on the plateau and occupied a favorable position, and the troops must have more troops than the Tang army, how could it be defeated? But the Tang army captured Tubo, and it quickly captured Tubo, and then think that the Tang Dynasty captured Goguryeo like a bamboo, and the Great Khans and nobles of the Western Turks, Xue Yantuo, Uighurs, Wei and other countries were shocked, and the Tang army was even stronger than they expected! Even the Bolu and Tocharian people who are far away from the Tang Dynasty were shocked, originally far away from the Tang Dynasty, and there was still Tubo in the middle, although they heard that the Tang Dynasty was very powerful, but the feeling was not deep, and they didn't think that the Tang Dynasty could threaten them, and it was the Tubo that could threaten them, they had been guarding against the Tubo attack on them, but they didn't expect the Tubo to be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, which means that the Tang Dynasty could threaten them. At that time, they will be in danger, since Datang can annex Tubo, it means that Datang is far more powerful than Tubo, and the powerful Tubo is enough to make them vigilant, not to mention the more powerful Datang! The news of the Tang Dynasty's annexation of Tibet has spread all over the world, shocking countless people, and the army has been approaching Chang'an City, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are very busy these days, because the imperial court is going to hold a grand triumphal ceremony, Chang'an City is crowded with people outside the city, and the cement road is crowded on both sides, Li Er has sent officials from the Ministry of Troops and the Ministry of Rites to work first, Xu Shiji, Li Yong, and Cheng Yanjin continue to move forward with a group of generals, and there are cheering crowds on both sides of the road.
"The British Duke is mighty!"
"Rongfu County Gong is mighty!"
"Lu Guogong is mighty!"
"The Tang Dynasty is mighty!"
"The Tang Dynasty is mighty!"
"Congratulations on the triumph!"
The cheers came and went, Li Yong and others kept waving on their horses, Li Yong didn't notice that someone in the crowd was looking at him stupidly, that person was Wang Jiu'er, at this moment she was standing in the crowd and looking at Li Yong stupidly, outside the bustling Chang'an City, there was only Li Yong in her eyes at the moment, and the guards surrounded her and the maid, so that the crowd would not collide with her, and it was not only Wang Jiu'er who was looking at Li Yong in the crowd, but also Zheng Liwan, Lin Ruoxi, and Luo Fengxiang were also looking at Li Yong in the crowd. Watching Li Yong from far to near, watching Li Yong being surrounded and walking away, gradually moving away, they were first excited and then felt stunned, Zheng Liwan and Wang Jiu'er looked around, and then looked at each other, Zheng Liwan's little face suddenly swelled with a smile, and said with a smile.
"When Sister Wang will return to Chang'an, I don't know."
Wang Jiu'er said with a smile.
"I also just returned to Chang'an, you have been in the shopping mall all day long, where will you notice me."
Zheng Liwan smiled like a cloud and a light breeze.
"How important is the little thing in Qianzhuang that grandpa returns to Chang'an, I am looking forward to my grandpa's triumph these days and nights, how can I have the leisure to deal with Qianzhuang's affairs, but my sister is really coincidental when she comes back!"
Wang Jiu'er said lightly.
"I just heard that the county prince was triumphant, and I went back to Chang'an to congratulate the county justice."
It was really boring to admit it bluntly, Zheng Liwan smiled slightly.
"It's rare to see such a grand occasion, I have to go back and wait for my grandfather, so I won't disturb my sister to watch the excitement."
After saying that, Zheng Liwan was slightly blessed with elegance, and then she and Lin Ruoxi turned around and left, planning to go back to the house directly, leaving Wang Jiu'er stunned, she understood that Zheng Liwan was showing off when she said this, it was stimulating her, if she was stimulated, she would lose, but she still couldn't help but feel upset because she was really sour.
