"My God Will ......"

Li Shimin was stunned and almost wanted to vomit blood.

can win 800 against 20,000, can ride into battle alone, and can deter thousands of miles from Hebei.

There is the talent of Huo to get sick, but there is no disease of Huo to get sick.

The pillar stone of the country, the sharp blade of the Tang Dynasty, was broken by this Xuanzong himself.

I'm only forty-five...... Li Shimin stretched out his hand towards the light curtain and grabbed it twice in vain, and finally fell down.

In its place came a raging wave of rage:

"Such a descendant can be called a national thief!"

"It's both dim and mediocre, and it's wrong to be in a position!"

"If you abandon your name, you will die violently."

"This absurd person is the emperor, and I can't drive him away!"

At this time, the courtiers couldn't intervene, after all, even if this Xuanzong was a hundred years apart, he was still the son of Tang Dynasty, and it was half of His Majesty's family matter.

It's okay for them to complain, but they still don't dare to answer the stubble with a straight ball like His Majesty.

The angry Li Shimin looked at the words on the light curtain, and slammed his fists on the table to get angry.

But I didn't expect to hit not the hard tabletop, but the palm.

Sun Simiao gasped, and hurriedly withdrew his palm and kneaded it himself:

"Your Majesty, why is Nachen angry?"

Li Shimin's anger froze, and the bitter taste in his mouth that had not yet dissipated reminded him that he had also received the favor of the other party's pills.

With this interruption, Li Shimin couldn't scold for a while.

So the eldest grandson Wuji persuaded him, and Wei Zhengtong scolded Li Linfu, so messy that the Tang Emperor was pressed back to his seat.

But soon Li Shimin also remembered other problems:

"This Yang Yuhuan was originally Princess Shou, but this Shouwang is not dead?"

The prince died, and then married the princess, although it was uncourteous to act like this, Li Shimin pinched his nose and admitted it.

But now that he knows that this Shouwang is still alive, he openly robbed his daughter-in-law, and acted like this......

"What a beast!"

was a little out of strength to scold, Li Shimin took a sip of tea, and then stared at this "killing three sons in one day" in a daze.

Executing three princes in one day, including a crown prince?

Li Shimin felt that for the first time his head experienced another kind of headache.

It's not because of the head wind, but because of the royal family affair that I don't see.

Trouble came out of Xuanzong, and these scenes around Xuanzong, as well as the title of Li Jia Saburo......

The hand in the sleeve pinched his fingers slightly, and calculated:

Huang Zizhi, Li Longji, Li Heng, and he Li Shimin himself.

None of them are the eldest sons, so Li Shimin smelled a faint familiar smell.

"Perhaps...... It is also related to the change of the military system. ”

Du Ruhui whispered.

Fang Xuanling glanced at His Majesty, who was still in a daze, and after a little recollection, he remembered what he had said before:

"The Juntian system collapsed and the conscription system rose...... The army of the army is ruined? ”

Du Ruyan nodded solemnly, wrote down this question an extra time, and planned to go back to General Pharmacist for some consultation.

[If the rebellion launched by An Lushan in the end is the collapse of the Tang Dynasty.

Then the year 747, when Wang Zhongsi was slandered, was the real turning point of the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.

After Wang Zhonghei was slandered into the court, the position was vacant, and because of Li Linfu's suggestion, the two Hu generals respectively inherited the power of Wang Zhonghe.

Ge Shuhan was promoted to the envoy of the Longyou Festival, and An Lushan's cousin An Sishun was promoted to the envoy of the Hexi Festival.

And in the same year, another star of Datang rose.

In 747, the small state of Bolu in present-day Kashmir rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and defected to Tibet, which in turn controlled more than 20 countries in the northwest and rebelled against the Tang Dynasty.

Xuanzong Yao ordered Gao Xianzhi to lead 10,000 people and send troops to quell the rebellion, which was of course not easy, but Gao Xianzhi thought that his opportunity had come!

Judging from our current map, Gao Xianzhi set out from Dunhuang, passed through Aksu, entered Bachu, passed through Kashgar, crossed the Pamir Plateau, and finally arrived in present-day Tajikistan and camped.

The group spent three months and traveled nearly 10,000 miles.

Subsequently, Gao Xianzhi boldly used troops, divided the troops into three routes, and annihilated the small Bolu country with a false way to destroy the country, and completed the feat of building miracles in thousands of miles, and the seventy-two countries west of the Green Ridge were annexed. 】

"Another general star ......" Li Shimin's face was complicated.

Looking at such a fierce general, he was proud of the Tang Dynasty he had created single-handedly.

But, such a fierce general, is it a return to the glory of the empire?

Can it turn the tide?

Li Shimin didn't know.

Li Jing looked at the route marked on the light curtain and praised it:

"Dare to wade thousands of miles into the foreign land of Bumao Yangwei, destroy the country and make contributions, you can be described as a fierce general of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Jing deeply understands the gold content, after all, he can run so far and win, and he can use his soldiers like an arm.

From this, we can already get a glimpse of the Tang army's contempt for Fanbang and its desire for military achievements.

"The style of the Tang Dynasty can be seen!"

Hou Junji only felt bitter in his mouth: Do you want to be so fierce?

[Gao Xianzhi himself is a Goguryeo native, because of his deep efforts to destroy the country, and also rubbed on Li Linfu's policy dividends, he was successfully promoted to the envoy of the Anxi Festival.

At this time, the Central Asian region was already surging.

The previous overlord of Central Asia was the Turkic Khanate, which was destroyed by the relay of Taizong and Gaozong, and there was a vacuum.

The Tang Dynasty could not take over Central Asia in a short period of time, so in the west of Central Asia, the theocratic Arab Empire rose up and invaded on a large scale.

In 749, the Umayyad dynasty of the Arab Empire was overthrown and the Abbasid dynasty was established.

The civil strife of the Arab Empire spread to Central Asia, and the nine surnames of Zhaowu also took the opportunity to respond, and for a time Central Asia became the northwest of Jin.

Faced with this scene, Anxi Jiedu made Gao Xianzhi judge that this was an opportunity to restore the Tang Empire's deterrence against Central Asia, so he decisively sent troops.

And his goal is to be located in the transportation hub of Central Asia, and the Tang Dynasty repeatedly jumped sideways.

Dispatched troops in November, and in March, Gao Xianzhi destroyed the Shushi State, destroyed the Shi State, destroyed the Tuqi Shi Kingdom, captured its king, and by the way, destroyed a tribe in Tubo and captured its chieftain.

This cadre was sent to Chang'an by Gao Xianzhi, and the king of Shiguo and others were all ordered by Xuanzong to be beheaded by His Majesty. 】

On the light curtain, the map was raised again, and Zhenguan Junchen didn't care about the unreliable Xuanzong, and stared at the map carefully.

Although Li Shimin also copied a pair next to him, it was far less convenient than the map that used unknown technology in later generations.

They were able to visualize the rise and fall of the Turkic Khanate and the expansion of the Arab Empire from later maps.

Fang Xuanling touched his beard and was a little curious:

"The Umagids and the Abbasids are both called the Arab Empire."

"Then we and the Tang Dynasty should be called the Chinese Empire?"

Du Ruhui smiled and shook his head: "Why did Xuan Ling forget it at this time?" They are all called China. ”

Skipping the name of the country, the expansion speed of this Abbasid Empire on the map made Zhenguan monarchs and ministers frightened.

"I Tang destroyed this Turk, but the benefits were for the other generation to enjoy?" Li Shimin couldn't accept it.

For Tang, the extermination of the Turks was just a convenient move to control the Western Regions, but who would have thought that this khanate that could not help but fight would have such a large radiation territory?

Hou Junji hurriedly stood up:

"Why are you worried? I am strong, and they are not enough. ”

Li Shimin nodded slowly, it was too troublesome to count on a long-distance friendship or a close attack, it was better to break it with a strong army and sweep it away.

And if he made peace with Tubo, how could he come to the Tang Dynasty if he couldn't control the Western Regions?

It's just that...... Looking at the expansion speed of the Arab Empire, Li Shimin felt that sooner or later the two sides would have to bump into each other.

[After the stone country was broken, Gao Xianzhi and the nobles of the stone country agreed not to kill people, so the nobles of the stone country surrendered happily.

After all, the world-famous Chang'an at that time had endless glory and wealth, and the nobles of the Shi Kingdom were already fantasizing about the luxurious life after becoming the people of the Celestial Empire on the way to Chang'an.

It's just that I didn't expect that what I was waiting for was Xuanzong's order to "cut it all".

When the news was transmitted back to the Western Regions, everyone was furious, and there was also the prince of Shi who had escaped by luck running around in it, exaggerating the brutal intentions of the Tang army to restore the country.

Gao Xianzhi's shock did not achieve the desired effect, but forced the Central Asian states to unite with the Abbasids in an attempt to plot against the four towns of Anxi.

Gao Xianzhi didn't care about this, and after getting the news, he decided to preemptively defend the enemy from the country.

Cen Shen, who was also in Anxi at that time, wrote a poem to praise when he sent Gao Xianzhi on the expedition:

All the new divisions were protected, and military uniforms were issued in May. There are two million soldiers, and the golden light is scattered.

In July 751, Gao Xianzhi arrived at Talas with 20,000 troops, and soon found a coalition of Central Asian forces here, with the two sides equal in number.

The Tang warriors were naturally not afraid, and the crossbowmen, archers, Mo sword teams, and cavalry were arranged in echelons, and the allied forces of the Central Asian countries were in danger.

At the critical moment, Daoud and Ziyad of the Arab Empire arrived with elite reinforcements, and the ratio of troops between the two sides had reached 20,000 to 100,000.

Although there was a difference of several times in strength, the Arab Empire had elite troops such as heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, and it also had a composite bow and arrow rain and dense spear formations learned from the Byzantine Empire.

But Gao Xianzhi still thinks that the advantage is in Tang!

The two sides had a fierce battle under the city of Talas, and the bravery of the Tang army made the Central Asians fearful, and in desperation, they recruited another 30,000 people from the city of Talas to join the battle to stop the Tang army.

Faced with a gap of 20,000 to 130,000 troops, Gao Xianzhi ordered a "retreat confrontation" in order to find fighters.

In the middle of the night after the two sides confronted each other for five days, the Turkic Qarluq tribes in the Tang army suddenly rebelled and raised their butcher's knives against Pao Ze from the northeast.

Gao Xianzhi, who wanted to clean up the remnants of the decisive battle the next day, finally decided to withdraw under Li Siye's hard persuasion, and the Arabs had already completed the siege, and finally only withdrew with more than 1,000 Tang troops.

The Battle of Talas was supposed to be a warm-up battle for the two empires to compete for Central Asia, but just three years later, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and everything came to naught. 】

And in the light curtain, the Zhenguan monarchs and ministers also saw the Talas battlefield in the battle.

The Tang army, dressed in red bright light armor, fought to the death, and the elite crossbowmen and archers silently staggered and fired, forming a rain of arrows to suppress the enemy.

In the face of the cavalry charging and harassment, the Tang army, wearing light armor and holding a long-handled giant knife, roared angrily, and slashed down, shattering all men and horses.

On the other hand, the black-clad Arab empire was also an eye-opener for them.

Heavy infantry in full armor, heavy cavalry in full armor, and archers armed with what appears to be a new type of bow, and so on.

Although the final result was not satisfactory, the enthusiasm of Zhenguan Junchen was fully mobilized.

Li Jing even got up and said loudly:

"Good boy, fight this time!"
