A good man dies without spinning.

This is something that is easier said than done.

For Li Jing, what later generations always said about the Tang people and martial arts, he could only vaguely guess one meaning.

But seeing that the future generations were still looking for the heroic fighting posture of the warriors of the Tang Dynasty after a thousand years, Li Jing's heart suddenly understood.

The century-old Tang Dynasty is also like a strong man, leaving a brand belonging to the Tang in the blood of his descendants, so future generations will cross the barrier of thousands of years, just to get a glimpse of the martial Tang.

Immediately, Li Jing's heart welled up with a strong sense of regret.

If you can personally lead your troops to fight against such an empire, the dead country is also worth it!

"I hate this defeat in the rebellion of the Turks!" This is Li Jing's biggest regret.

Li Shimin is the same, he doesn't speak, but recalls the Arab Empire that started from the extreme west and expanded all the way, and his heart is also a little eager to try.

Defeat an empire! The thought of this makes my body tremble with excitement just thinking about it!

For the first time, Li Shimin was actually a little jealous of this Xuanzong, just like the method of crossing said by the juniors, if you don't play it, let me come!

When the generals were still studying the tactics of war, Yan Lide's eyes lit up and he began to carefully copy the paintings.

Although he is not as good as his younger brother Yan Liben in terms of painting techniques, he has a specialization in the so-called art industry.

Yan Lide's current position will be a supervisor, and the division will be a young craftsman, and he knows a little about architecture, painting, clothing, and smelting.

Therefore, although the two brothers were both working hard at this time, the paper they used and the direction in which they drew were completely different.

Du Ruhui guessed from the words:

"To the west of this Arab Empire, there is also an empire, is this Byzantium?"

Fang Xuanling pulled out a country name from memory:

"Rome is dead?"

……

If it is said that the previous Zhang Yichao only let the people of Chengdu Mansion appreciate the warriors of the Tang Dynasty.

Then Wang Zhongsi and Gao Xianzhi let everyone appreciate the style of Tang generals.

"Mano...... Titan! ”

Zhang Fei was completely convinced.

"If you don't destroy the country, you don't deserve to be meritorious?"

Running thousands of miles, the soldiers do not mutiny and can destroy their country.

20,000 against more than 100,000, and you can still have the courage to show your blade.

Zhang Fei used to think that the battle of Yangpingguan and Hanzhong were good, but now he is a little embarrassed to take out the war between the empire and the empire.

And that long list of national annihilation records...... Zhang Fei was very hot-eyed.

On the other side, Zhao Yun was already painting with Kong Ming, trying to write down all the weapons on the light curtain.

Bow formation, spear formation, salvo suppression, bow and crossbow rotation and other tactics.

Knives, armor, armor like infantry in a small dock fort, cavalry with horses and armor, and so on.

Kong Ming lamented the poverty of today while copying the paintings.

Just like this heavy cavalry, the horse needs a horse fed with fine grain, and the pawn needs to be one in a hundred.

Subsequently, the armor of soldiers and horses needed to be smelted with iron, craftsmen, weaving, and training.

And all of this requires money to be invested, and it is difficult to see results in a short period of time.

After all, armor is by no means just a piece of iron, how to wear the inside of the armor, how to weave the iron armor to be lighter, etc., all need people to study, trial and error.

Therefore, Kong Ming more and more understood what the technology tree meant, at least the iron smelting Dacheng, so that he had more than enough to study these things.

In contrast, it is an imitation of weapons, and the investment is a little less.

Zhao Yun didn't speak, but he wrote more quickly, as a rider, he felt that he had seen the greatest pursuit of his life.

[One of the interesting things about the Battle of Talas is that it vividly illustrates a sentence:

Small countries have no sovereignty, and weak countries have no diplomacy.

The Battle of Talas was only a warm-up battle for the Tang Dynasty, and it did not hurt the muscles and bones.

Gao Xianzhi was dismissed from his post and returned to the dynasty due to defeat, and Xuanzong wanted to use him as the envoy of the Hexi Festival, and later changed to the general of the right Yulin.

Gao Xianzhi's position was taken over by the famous general Feng Changqing, and in the following year, he led an army to knock on the Great Bolu Kingdom, forcing its monarch to surrender out of the city, proving to the Western Regions that the Tang Dynasty's wrist was still very strong.

In the same year, the Abbasids sent envoys to Tang, and the two sides talked well, and the Abbasids returned most of their captives.

Black-clothed Food established diplomatic relations with Datang and started a business.

And the small countries in Central Asia thought that if they drove out the brutal Tang Dynasty, they would be able to usher in the blue sky.

But it is a pity that the Abbasids ruled Central Asia with iron horses, and the Shi Kingdom and the Kang Kingdom were destroyed one after another.

In this case, three years after the Battle of Talas, the small states of Central Asia united and took the initiative to join the Tang Dynasty, hoping that the Tang Dynasty would expel the Abbasids and restore the Han rule over the region.

But it's a pity that at this time it was already the eve of the Anshi Rebellion, and the Tang Dynasty had temporarily made friends with the black-clothed food.

At that time, the plans of the Tang Dynasty's Anxi, Hexi, Longyou and other Jiedu envoys were all planning to destroy Tubo first.

Therefore, the demands of this group of small countries are destined to be unmet.

In modern times, the Battle of Talas has been deliberately exaggerated by Arab historians.

According to Ahir's "Encyclopedia of History", the two armies fought at Talas, and the Arabs wiped out 50,000 Tang troops, captured 20,000 Tang troops, and the remnants fled back to China.

According to Magdisey's "Origin and History", the Tang army was defeated individually, killed 45,000 people, captured 25,000, occupied their military positions, captured their children and grandchildren, and robbed them of their wealth.

These two are relatively authoritative, and the Arab people even have a credible claim: In this battle, the Abbasids annihilated 100,000 Tang troops, and only 1,000 survived.

Talas we have indeed been defeated in history, but we are not so nonsense.

If there were really so many troops, Gao Xianzhi needed to consider not winning the Battle of Talas, but about sending envoys to contact Byzantium and join forces to dismember the Arab Empire. 】

Datang is really like a cloud! However, Gao Xianzhi was also really miserable, and he was forced to recognize his ancestors by a stick.

Indeed, I was shocked when I knew that Stick made a documentary on Gao Xianzhi's merits and virtues, your ancestors were Goryeo, not Goguryeo, hey.

The predecessor of the Goryeo Kingdom was Silla Baekje, and Gao Xianzhi had a money-making business by taking Silla maids and selling them to the Tang Dynasty to make money......

So this is crying the wrong grave? Gao Xianzhi is not only not the ancestor of the stick, but also a wicked person?

Anyway, it's not once or twice that there is a problem with the stick's braincase, just like in the TV series filmed, Erfeng was shot in the left eye for a while, and the right eye for a while, absolutely. 〗

The Zhenguan ministers in the Ganlu Hall were not merciful to the Central Asian countries.

This kind of deferential behavior caused the eldest grandson Wuji to chuckle:

"Isn't it the best commentary on the words that a small country has no sovereignty and a weak country has no diplomacy?"

Hou Junji agreed:

"Datang has already given you a choice."

Li Shimin didn't care about this, his eyes were firmly fixed on the words floating on the light curtain, a little embarrassed:

"This stick really deserves to be killed!"

At the same time, I made a fork in my heart about the peninsula, what happened to you and my eyes?

The eldest grandson Wuji was relieved:

"Everyone, such a foolish person is no match for me Tang Shenwei, so I can only talk to myself so self-deceptively to masturbate."

"Without everyone's mind, it will be lost in history in the future, what is the way?"

It makes sense, so Li Shimin's attention quickly turned back to the topic.

Look at the map hanging on the right side of the Ganlu Temple, and the route into India marked in Tibet.

Li Shimin put forward a conjecture:

"If according to what Xuanzong thinks, after destroying Tibet, he will find a way to go straight to India and set up a government here to control Central Asia?"

The Hexi strategy has been studied many times, and now the biggest problem is supply.

Just like this Gao Xianzhi only led 20,000 troops, it is not that he does not want to mention 50,000 or even 100,000 troops, on the one hand, he needs to keep people to deter Anxi, and on the other hand, he also needs to send out a large army because of the barren land in the Western Regions and the lack of food and grass, how can he do it?

Du Ruhui thought for a while, and first removed a wrong answer:

"The Silk Road has flourished for hundreds of years, this trade route is a way, and if it is not virtuous and good, it will be repeated."

Li Shimin nodded, this is also his opinion.

But now considering these is a bit far, Li Shimin looked at the place marked on the light curtain:

"Whether you get out of Central Asia or not, Tibet will be destroyed!"

The Tang Dynasty must want to control the Western Regions, and this Tubo is like a bone appendage, which can threaten Hexi to the east and the Western Regions to the north.

If this scourge is not eliminated, it will be like this Xuanzong At this time, Longyou Hexi will have to set up heavy troops to defend, so the power that can radiate to the Western Regions will be extremely limited.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Hou Junji groaned:

"How is another famous general Feng Changqing......"

Li Jing laughed and patted Hou Junji's shoulder, signaling that he still needed encouragement.

Regarding the records of Arab historians, Li Shimin is dismissive:

"All are one virtue with that stick."

However, the light curtain here confirmed a piece of news, which made Zhenguan Qunchen a little curious:

"This Byzantine Empire, is it to replace Rome?"

"It seems that there is no thousand-year-old dynasty in the West."

[Now that we have roughly introduced these unlucky celebrities, let's take a look back at An Lushan.

In November 755, An Lushan shouted the slogan of the Qing monarch's side.

At this time, An Lushan had a choice to emulate Li Yuan, that is, to attack Taiyuan first, then cross the Yellow River, and then take Chang'an directly.

Theoretically, An Lushan at this time should compete with other festivals to make time, so directly inserting Chang'an is the most effective and fastest way to play.

However, we also said that An Lushan is not a famous general, so he chose the most secure plan for himself:

Hebei went south, first attacked Luoyang, and then broke Chang'an.

And this plan, which seemed good in hindsight, was only intended because An Lushan was unable to mobilize the army east of the river at this time.

Wang Zhonghei and An Lushan, in addition to one being a loyal minister and the other being a thief, there is also a problem that the two are in different times.

When An Lushan served as the envoy of the Pinglu Festival, the government military system had completely collapsed, and in 737, Xuanzong changed the government soldiers to recruit soldiers.

In 738, Xuanzong announced that the conscription system had been a great success: the troops in the border towns had recruited enough Long March athletes, and there was no need to recruit them from the interior.

That is, from this moment on, the soldiers of the three towns of Heshuo are all locals, and the honor and disgrace are decided by An Lushan's words.

Fan Yang and Pinglu were basically infiltrated by An Lushan through Xuanzong, and they were all their own people.

In Hedong, although the locals are not very obedient to the central government, they are more disgusted with miscellaneous beards, and there are many hard bones. 】
