External relaxation and internal tension 1

After the completion of this temple, it stood for thousands of years and changed its name several times, until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was designated as "Wansong Temple".

It was rebuilt in modern times and became the largest temple in the Panlong Mountain group of temples.

As written in the "Re-establishment of the Sect Inscription": "The green mountains and green waters, the dream moon and the pine wind, the majesty of the temple, and the solemnity of the Buddha statues, are actually a Buddha in the east of the country." ”

Let's ...... Pharmacist Li waited for Lu Zesheng to stop arranging everything and prepared to return to Chang'an together.

Before leaving, he received a letter from Xue Wanshu, the governor of Yingzhou.

A few days ago, Li Shimin and Li Yaoshi discussed military preparations, and once mentioned that if they want to transport Xue Yantuo, they can go out of Liangzhou to the west and Yingzhou Yunyun to the east.

At this time, Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou, and Xue Wanshu, the governor of Yingzhou, had already received the relevant decrees.

There are three Xue brothers, Xue Wanshu is the eldest, Xue Wanjun is secondary, and Xue Wanche is the youngest.

Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche were both under Luo Yi's account at the beginning, and after Luo Yi was defeated, Xue Wanjun entered the Qin Mansion, and Xue Wanche entered the East Palace.

After the Xuanwumen incident, Xue Wanjun was rewarded; Although Xue Wanche was pardoned, he was not allowed to use it.

Now that Xue Wanshu knew about Pharmacist Li's visit to the east, she sent a letter asking him to keep Xue Wanche under his account, hoping that he would have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the future.

And the messenger who came with this letter was Xue Wanche.

Pharmacist Li was on the occasion of employing people, so he agreed and immediately replied to the letter of congratulations.

So on the return trip of this trip, Xue Gu Wu Ke was happy.

He no longer "raised his eyes to look at the blue sky", but with Su Dingfang and Xue Wanche, he sang the wine in the air, and sang the sword song Weishuimei.

If the poet sees this situation, he is afraid that it will be more than 100 years earlier, and he will compose the meaning of "Wuling is young in the east of the bridge, and the silver saddle and white horse spend the spring breeze".

Pharmacist Li and Lu Zesheng saw it in their eyes and were also pleased.

When Pharmacist Li and his entourage returned to Chang'an, it was late March.

He reported the names of Su Dingfang and others to the Ministry of War and let them be registered in the army.

After settling down properly, he received the news that Jieli Khan had sent troops against Tuli Khan.

More than two months ago, after Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou, and Xue Wanshu, the governor of Yingzhou, received the order to prepare for the Turkic war, they both took a two-pronged approach from division and discord, long-distance friendship and close attack.

Dozens of Xi, Xi and other tribes in the Turkic East were the first to defect and surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Tuli ruled the east, and this time the tribes rebelled, Jieli was furious and blamed Tuli.

Subsequently, Xue Yantuo, Hui and other troops in the northern Turkic region sent troops to defeat Desire Valley and Tuo.

Jieli sent Tuli to lead the troops to fight, but Tuli was defeated again, and the light cavalry ran back.

Jie Li was furious and arrested Tuli and whipped him.

Tuli was already very resentful, and Jieli recruited troops from Tuli several times.

Tuli couldn't bear it, so he went to the Tang Dynasty and invited himself to the court.

After reading the recital, Li Shimin said to the ministers: "In the past, the Turkic country was strong and powerful, and there were more than one million victorious soldiers, who invaded our Middle Earth and overtook our China. He is arrogant and arrogant at home, and does not know how to love his people, so that he loses the hearts of the people. Now that Tuli has invited himself to join the court, if it is not for the destitute and helpless, how can it be like this? When I heard about this, I was happy and afraid. If the Turks are in decline, our border can be a little safer, so I am happy; However, if I lose my way, he will follow the Turkic path one day, can he be fearless? ”

At this time, he Yin Yin told the ministers: "The ministers should not hesitate to admonish them bitterly, so as to assist me not to catch them!" ”

As for Jieli sending troops to fight and Tuli sending envoys for help, the emperor discussed with his ministers: "I and Tuli have become brothers, and we must be rescued in an emergency."

However, I also have a covenant with Jieli, but what? ”

Du Ruhui believed: "Rong Di has no faith, and sooner or later he will definitely lose the contract." If you don't take it because of its chaos today, you will regret it in the end. The so-called "attacking the weak and attacking the enemy, taking chaos and insulting the dead" is also the way of the ancient sages. ”

"Attacking the weak and attacking the enemy, taking chaos and insulting the dead" is from "Shangshu. The Edict of the Middle.

At the same time, the Khitan chieftain led his tribe to surrender.

The Khitan was originally a Turkic territory, but now it has rebelled into the Tang Dynasty, and Jieli is furious.

He knew that Liang Shi was the henchman of the Tang Dynasty and wanted to exterminate him, so he sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, hoping to exchange Liang Shidu for Khitan.

Li Shimin refused to allow it, and said to the envoy: "The Khitan and the Turks are different tribes, and now they have come to join our dynasty, and you have no reason to obstruct them. Liang Shidu is a Chinese, stealing my land and tyrannizing my people, but the Turks shelter him. I have marched against the army, and you have repeatedly rescued you, but it is not enough. Now that Master Liang is like a fish swimming in a kettle, why can't I have all the troubles? Even if we can't take it for a while, we will never exchange it for the people who belong to our dynasty and you. ”

Li Shimin's so-called "fish swimming in the kettle, what trouble can't be owned by me" and other words are by no means false.

A year and a half ago, Lingzhou began to build ships and train naval forces, and by this time they had all been successful.

As a result, the Turks outside the Hetao and the Liang Shidu within the Hetao were almost completely cut off.

Now Jieli expressed his willingness to exchange Liang Shidu for the Khitan, so he inadvertently leaked the military plane, and he was no longer able to shelter Xiazhou.

So Li Shimin immediately sent Chai Shao to attack the capital of Liang Shidu, although Jieli sent troops to support, but he could not cross the river to the south.

There were only a few troops of the Yu Shooting tribe in the set, and they were easily defeated by the Tang army.

Chai Shao's army surrounded Shuofang, the base of Liang Shidu, and the Turks could not come to their rescue.

After a few days of eating in the city, Liang Shidu's younger brother Liang Luoren attacked and killed Liang Shidu and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

After the Tang army defeated Liu Wuzhou eight years ago, his deputy Yuan Junzhang attached himself to the Turks, causing Liu Wuzhou's base of Mayi to change hands between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.

Although Yuan Junzhang surrendered a year ago, Mayi was still largely occupied by the Turks.

In view of the fact that he could not learn from the past of Ma Yi in one fell swoop, this time Li Shimin sent Chai Shao to attack the Liang Division, and at the same time, he also backed up Li Yaoshi, the general manager of the Guannei Road March, and the entire Guanzhong armament.

Jieli didn't dare to make a fool, so Xiazhou was successfully included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

At this point, in the eleventh year of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, all the heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty were finally wiped out, and everyone from the emperor to the people was happy, singing and dancing to celebrate.

Li Shimin ordered Taichang Temple to revise "Tang Yale", and adopted the sound of Wu and Chu of Liang and Chen in the Southern Dynasty, as well as the rhyme of Hu and Yi of Zhou and Qi in the Northern Dynasty.

This year is the forty years of life, and the Pingkangfang Mansion will be completed again.

When the country was jubilant, Pharmacist Li set up a banquet for a new home.

This banquet is not in the name of birthday, but relatives and friends have also prepared birthday gifts in addition to congratulating the housewarming.

Li Shiji, Li Daozong, Li Daliang and other border generals, Zhang Baoxiang, Xi Junmai and other former subordinates, although they were not in Chang'an and could not say hello in person, they all sent congratulatory gifts in advance.

On the first day, the new house of Pharmacist Li was decorated with a jade screen glowing, Baoding burning incense, Yue Xuan columns, and golden drums were displayed together, which not only showed the grace and elegance of the literary appearance, but also showed the solemn majesty of the military generals.

Both sides of Fuqian Street are full of feather guards, which are arranged directly on the Suzaku Street on the central axis of Chang'an City.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other Zaifu, the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xiaogong, Wei Chi Jingde and other nobles, Sun Simiao, Yuan Tiangang and other Gao Yi, all came with their families.
