The Big Dipper is high

Geshu carries a knife at night

So far, peep at the herding horses

Don't dare to pass Lintao

Although the song "Ge Shu Song" of the Western Contempt named Ge Shuhan, the Tang Dynasty put an end to the horse herding in the west of Lintao for the first time, which was the great achievement of Li Yaoshi Tuguhun this time.

In this battle, Li Yaoshi established the prestige of "invincible" for the Tang division in Dafeichuan, which not only quickly prompted the expansion of Ashina Sheer into the Tang Dynasty, but also in the following decades, the Tang Dynasty even connected Gaochang, Xue Yantuo, Western Turks, and Goguryeo......

Again and again, again and again, let the momentum of "the Tang Division is invincible, and the Celestial Empire cannot be violated" spread far and wide to shock the eight wildernesses.

The Tang Dynasty was able to achieve unprecedented expansion, reaching the West Sea to the west, which is today's Aral Sea.

At that time, even in the north of the three gates of Chang'an West City, outside the open gate, set up the stone tablet of "West Pole Road 9,900 miles", implying the meaning of "less than 10,000 miles from this to the west boundary of the country", which seems to be calm and real, both arrogant and witty.

However, how lamentable, thirty-five years later, in the third year of Gaozong Li Zhi's general chapter, Tang Shi was defeated by Tubo in Dafeichuan.

Datang's deep-rooted "invincible" reputation was ruined, and it was actually in Dafeichuan!

Let's ...... At this time, it was late May of the ninth year of Zhenguan, and the funeral of Emperor Taishang did not make the emperor change his determination to fundamentally solve the threat of Tuyuhun.

He sent an envoy to deliver the "Original Tuyuhun System", and issued an edict for the restoration of the Tuyuhun country, with Murong Shun as the king of Xiping County and the late Lü Wu Gandou Khan, intending to build this western kingdom into a vassal subordinate to the Tang Dynasty.

However, considering that Murong Shun grew up in Middle-earth and could not convince the public in Tuyuhun, he ordered Li Daliang to lead his troops to stay in the garrison to monitor and assist Murong Shun.

Regarding the emperor's appointment to stay with Li Daliang, Pharmacist Li did not agree.

Li Daliang is a good general, not a good general.

Compared with him, Hou Junji is more suitable for the mission to stay.

However, Pharmacist Li knew very well that Hou Junji was concerned about the position of the central minister, and Li Shimin was also wholeheartedly cultivating this old minister from the Tiance Mansion, and it was impossible for both of him and the monarch and the minister to change their minds.

Therefore, at this time, Pharmacist Li could only bring Murong Shun into Qinghai River and wait for Li Daliang to return to his teacher in Fu Qi City.

But I hope that Li Daliang can achieve the task of monitoring Tuyuhun, not only for the Tang Dynasty to stabilize the west, but also to create an opportunity for himself to enter the picture in the future.

Unfortunately, as Pharmacist Li expected, Li Daliang was not able to achieve his mission.

However, in just a few months, the civil strife in Tuyuhun broke out again.

Only because after Fu Yun's death, his crown prince fled to Shanshan, attached himself to Tubo, changed his name to Dayan Mangbojie, and established himself as Tuyuhun Khan, competing with Murong Shun, who was attached to the Tang Dynasty.

And Murong Shun really didn't want to be a puppet of the Tang Dynasty, he originally thought that after getting rid of the Tianzhu King, he would be able to become the real Tuyuhun Khan.

did not expect Datang to leave Li Daliang behind and monitor it nearby.

Murong Shun was originally unable to obey the public, and some of the ministers around him were interested in respecting the king, and some thought that they should not be attached to the Tang Dynasty, but should be submissive to Tubo.

So in just half a year, Murong was assassinated by the way, and the country was in chaos.

Li Shimin had no choice but to send Hou Junji to quell the rebellion, and transferred Li Daliang back to Chang'an and promoted him to the general of the Left Guard.

According to the history books, Tuyuhun was in civil strife, and Murong Shun was killed by his subordinates.

However, if we refer to Li Shimin's "Linghou Junji and Other Scriptures and Tugu Hun Edict" issued in December of the ninth year of Zhenguan, it contains "And Shun was not grateful, and he was ambitious." Within the planting, people and animals are resentful. then create a great righteousness, that is, add extermination" and other words, it can be seen that in addition to Murong Shun, it is really the will of Tian Khan.

This is a later story, and it is said that at that time......

Li Daliang led the generals of the last way until late June before returning to Qinghai Sichuan to join Pharmacist Li.

At that time, Hou Junji and Li Daozong had led their troops to return to Chang'an in triumph.

According to the edict, Pharmacist Li asked Li Daliang to stay in Fuqicheng, and he left Qinghai Lake and went east under the attendants of Xue Guwu, Su Dingfang, and He Bi.

About a hundred years later, Wang Changling wrote seven poems of "From the Army", the fourth of which is:

Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain. The lonely city looks at the Yumen Pass from afar

Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles. If it is not broken, Loulan will not be returned

From Qinghai Lake to the north, through the Great Dou Tu Valley through the Qilian Snow Mountain, into the Hexi Corridor, to the Hanhai Lonely City, indeed as described in the poem, you can look at the Yumen Pass.

However, Pharmacist Li and his entourage did not go north, but to the east.

In this westward expedition, they have fought a hundred battles in the yellow sand, and went straight to the Tulun moraine where Loulan once established a country hundreds of years ago.

Although he won a great victory militarily, he did not achieve what Pharmacist Li intended politically.

It can only be said that the mission entrusted to him by God has been perfected.

Leave the rest to future generations.

After all, future generations also have a mission for future generations.

At this time, when he came to the end of the plateau, Pharmacist Li let the jade claw soar in the air, and looked back at it himself.

But I saw the majestic mountains, vertical and horizontal; West Pole skyline, glacier streamer.

He looked at this silver-covered reckless world for a round, and then sighed lightly, rode his horse around, and set out on the way home.

The yellow sand is reckless, the sun is like fire, at this time it is a hot summer in the twenty-eighth year of Kaiyuan (740 AD), and the Jishui River in Weizhou, Hebei Province, Aoge is on the bank of the river.

A group of boatmen, bored, sitting or lying down under the willow trees on the riverside, some chatting, some napping, and a few boatmen were getting together to gamble with their meager income, trying to win the meager fares of others, only a thick-eyed and big-eyed teenager, sitting under the tree but looking intently at a tattered book, everyone was waiting for any merchants and goods to cross the river.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar on the dusty road.

It wasn't until near that the boatmen saw clearly, a big man in black was lying on a black horse in front, and there were about twelve or three strong men in the back, chasing after him on a fast horse, the black horse was foaming at the mouth, and it seemed that he had been galloping all night without stopping, and the big man in black did not know whether he was dead or alive on the horse!

More than ten horsemen behind are all strong costumes, official dress, holding all kinds of blades, several times rushed to the back of the black horse but did not dare to approach, and retreated, seeing that it was close to the river bank, chasing the nearest man in green clothes from his arms out of a flying locust stone, and threw it at the head of the black horse, the black horse's head was deflected, hitting the neck of the black horse! The black horse couldn't support it anymore, rushed forward, knelt on his knees, and lifted the black-clothed man down, the black-clothed man threw himself on the ground and didn't move, and the boatmen saw it clearly, the black-clothed man was drenched in blood on his back, arms and legs, and suffered several knife wounds!

More than a dozen men who had finished their outfits had already rushed to the bank of the river, jumped off their horses one after another, and immediately surrounded the black-clothed man in his heart.

One of the big men with a scar on the right side of his face immediately shouted: "The Weizhou Mansion has an order, arresting the imperial court to commit Chao Jiuli, and the idle people must not interfere, otherwise the sword and gun will have no eyes, and it is no wonder that they will bring disaster upon themselves!"
