Chapter 348: Return to Chang'an
Fang Yu was very surprised by Li Kuan's evaluation of Xuanzang.
"Have you seen Master Xuanzang?"
Li Kuan suddenly turned to ask Fang Yu.
Fang Yu nodded, indicating that he had seen it.
"In order to treat Fang Ping's illness, we went to Master Xuanzang."
"The mage is very gentle, he doesn't discriminate against Fang Ping's murderous pervert in the slightest, he tries his best to enlighten Fang Ping, and tells Fang Ping that if one day you can't suppress your desire to kill, just kill him."
Li Kuan nodded, like what Xuanzang could do.
"However, I don't think Fang Ping can beat Xuanzang."
"You know, Xuanzang is a person who has crossed tens of thousands of kilometers to study abroad."
Even the most ordinary person, as long as he completes these tens of thousands of kilometers of training, he can become a Super Saiyan, let alone Xuanzang, who has always exercised.
I'm afraid that Xuanzang's combat power can subdue half of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Fang Yu felt that Du Xuan's words were very funny.
While the two were talking, Minglan walked in from outside the courtyard with a letter in her hand.
"Your Highness, a letter from Uncle Yi."
Li Kuan took it and opened it with a solemn face, he recently gave Li Yi only one task, Tubo.
The letter said that some time ago, Tubo invaded the Tang Dynasty and was defeated by Niu Junda, Qin Qiong, Liu Hongji and other veterans.
Even if the Hou Junji is in charge.
But now Hou Jun is gathered in Central Asia, and Chang'an is full of veterans.
Qin Qiong was turned to be in charge, supplemented by Niu Junda and Liu Hongji.
The fighting power of the Tibetans was not strong, and the 30,000 people who came down from the mountains were easily defeated by three people, killed thousands of people, ran more than 10,000 people, captured more than 10,000 prisoners, and were sent to the factories in the rear of the Tang Dynasty on the spot, and sold to those local officials as slaves.
The point is that a few days after this incident ended, Lu Dongzan, who Li Kuan was concerned about, came to Datang and publicly asked Datang to marry the princess.
Brought plenty of gifts.
Now above the court, it's a bit noisy.
Li Yi told Li Kuan in his heart that a prince had come to the Chu Palace, and said that he would take this opportunity to let Li Kuan go back to Chang'an.
Because Li Kuan still has the name of Tang Zongzheng on his body.
"This is also an opportunity to win people's hearts, and at the same time, it is also an opportunity to be honest with Your Majesty."
Li Kuan put down the letter and muttered.
"Pack your things and get ready to leave,"
The facts are also as Li Kuan said.
Lu Dongzan's request to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty caused a disturbance in the court.
Li Tai and Li Ke's officials left behind in the court have begged for peace, they think that marrying a woman can get decades of peace, which is very worthwhile.
The Tibetan Plateau is too big, and it's not easy to get on.
Just think about the Qinghai-Tibet Railway opened to traffic in 06.
Because of the huge size of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Tubo can attack Guanzhong, Longyou, Tuyuhun and Shu at the same time.
If Tibet fights guerrilla warfare, it will be a difficult matter for many places in the Tang Dynasty to solve.
Li Tai and Li Ke wrote one after another, thinking that they should seek peace, and they should learn the methods of the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu, find a beautiful clan woman, canonize a princess, and marry her with a dowry.
Their reason was that the pressure to guard against Tibet was too great.
And the people who quarrel with them are mainly the Li Tang royal family, in the eyes of the Li Tang royal family, we now have money and people, and we are still the masters of this country, why should we give in.
Li Shimin originally wanted to see Li Kuan, and took this opportunity to decide to let Li Kuan go back, so he didn't make up his mind for a long time and didn't say what to do.
The letter of appointment for the official transfer back of Li Kuan came quickly, Xu Jingzong came to the Western Regions to take over, Li Kuan was transferred back to Chang'an, and Yang Yun and a series of sons of the family were required to serve in the Western Regions for another half a year to hand over the new officials who came to take over.
Xu Jingzong came to the Western Regions to find Li Kuan.
"Your Highness, when you go back this time, you will face Your Majesty, the King of Wei, the King of Shu and the crown prince, and I hope you will be cautious."
Li Kuan smiled and nodded.
"I know, don't worry, I won't make the wrong decision."
Xu Jingzong saw Li Kuan's serious expression, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "In Chang'an, if you want to have something, you can find Ma Zhou. ”
Li Kuan thought that Xu Jingzong would let him find Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others, but the result was to find Ma Zhou.
"By the way, you can lead three thousand cavalry back."
Li Kuan was stunned, he could also lead three thousand cavalry, what kind of operation is this.
"The tribal lord of the Hanhai tribe, the ancient nobles of the Xia people of the grassland, and the chief administrator of the Hanhai region of the Tang Dynasty, Ashina Ling County, the main representative of the Xia people, came to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, why not."
Li Kuan gasped, it was a magical operation.
Xu Jingzong took out a sheepskin document from his arms and handed it to Li Kuan.
"This is another thing that I have put together with Ashina Sheer and others, to give His Majesty the title of Venerable Master."
"Back in the days of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, those people ruled over many races and were revered as kings of men."
"Now, with the return of the Xia people, Datang is about to become a multi-ethnic country again, and it is not impossible for us to respect Your Majesty as the king again."
"We also built a bronze tripod on the grassland, which you can take back with you."
"The cavalry of the county lord of Ashina Ling also has the task of escorting this bronze tripod."
Xu Jingzong told the means that he and Yu Zhining had prepared for Li Kuan one by one.
The title of the king of people, the bronze tripod, is all to make Li Shimin happy.
And Li Kuan's real guarantee is the cavalry of three thousand Xia people.
These 3,000 cavalry are Li Kuan's real and most basic right to speak in Chang'an.
The three thousand most elite cavalry can ensure that no matter what happens to Li Kuan, he can retreat and leave at any time.
"This is the advantage of having a strategist, one after another allows me to do things without distractions."
Li Kuan was really emotional.
Xu Jingzong shook his head and continued: "Your Highness, don't get excited, I haven't finished talking yet,"
Li Kuan motioned for him to continue.
"Mr. Li Gang from the Lingnan region, Kong Yingda from Shuofang, the two of them will also return to Chang'an."
"With them, the literary world can't be chaotic."
"The connections left by the family, we have also received seventy-seven eighty-eight, and now the nodes on the Chang'an side are mainly in the hands of Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, you can rest assured, we also have Wenchen who does things and bites."
"On the military general's side, General Chai Shao is almost done, and the only difficulty is that the newly appointed Xuanwu Gate guard is Qin Qiong."
"But Qin Qiong is from Wagang, and Wei Zheng and I are also from Wagang, as long as you don't rebel, don't be too afraid."
Hearing Xu Jingzong say this, Li Kuan reacted, probably that is, he can do whatever he wants, and he doesn't care about the rest.
As long as it's related to people, it's almost solved.
Xu Jingzong handed over all the means he had prepared to Li Kuan, and then asked Zhi Zhi to escort Li Kuan to the grassland.
Li Kuan's wives dealt with their affairs in the Western Regions, and they all went back with them.
Ashina Sheer and Li Daozong ordered 3,000 elite soldiers on the grassland, and asked Li Kuan to pull the copper tripod and go straight to Chang'an.
Before leaving, Li Daozong said: "Shuzhong was the first to be defeated by our family, and the officials there are all our descendants, and they are not afraid of war." ”
Along the way, officials from all over the country are preparing materials and resting places in advance, and basically every place is to change horses and cars without changing people, and all kinds of materials are readily available, and you can go directly after resting.
If you don't talk to Li Kuan, you know that these are all officials who have taken refuge in him.
Among them, some officials in the Guanzhong region wrote to Li Kuan in a covert letter, telling him that they were not afraid of war, and that they would be done with just the Tibetan savages.
This made Li Kuan can't help but sigh that the early years of the Tang Dynasty were prosperous in martial arts, and he was not afraid of fighting at all.
It was also because of everyone's cooperation that Li Kuan only took a month to kill Chang'an.
This speed made the people of Li Tai and Li Ke above the court stunned, it was too fast.
Lu Dongzan, who was in Chang'an, saw this situation and felt uneasy in his heart.
He knew that Li Kuan was the current Tang Zongzheng and stood in the interests of the imperial family.
As soon as Li Kuan returned, he was summoned to the palace by Li Shimin.
As soon as he entered the palace, Jin Yan took Li Kuan to wash up and change into a brand-new prince's clothes.
The two, who hadn't seen each other for many years, looked at each other and were speechless.
Li Shimin saw himself in Li Kuan.
Li Kuan saw the heroic twilight in Li Shimin.
Sure enough, the death of Empress Changsun hit Li Shimin too hard.
