Chapter 168: Wang Xuance
Chengdu Mansion.
The climate in Yizhou is relatively warm.
But at this time, the hall was filled with the sound of cold air.
is different from when reading history books, words such as "drinking Ma Hanhai" and "Yanran Le Shi" can only be imagined out of thin air.
The territory of the Tang Dynasty was marked with a rather striking vermilion color.
With the advancement of time, this piece of vermilion advanced to Liaodong and stalemate with that Goguryeo.
Then it advanced northward, annexing the whole of Xue Yantuo, and expanding its territory by almost half.
Then, through the slender Hexi Corridor, the whale swallows the Western Regions, and this vermilion is connected with the north.
In the end, they were presented with an unprecedentedly vast territory.
"How ...... Strong! ”
Zhang Fei was speechless for a while.
Image representation is more intuitive than text, let alone such moving pictures in later generations.
Liu Bei stared at the rapidly expanding empire.
Everyone in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty knows that Liu Bei has such a map of the territory of the Han Dynasty hanging in his room.
Now the place he leads is only two states, but it is only one of the elevenths in the Han world.
For Liu Bei, if he can recover the thirteen states, he will already be able to be proud of his ancestors, let alone be able to exhaust the Western Regions......
"He deserves to be praised by later generations as an emperor of the ages."
After perceiving Kong Ming's concerned gaze, Liu Bei shook his head lightly, signaling that he was fine.
The Great Han Dynasty already had Emperor Gao, Emperor Wen and Wu, Emperor Guangwu and other pearls and jades in front.
For him, it's just one more target that can be used as a benchmark to catch up.
These outstanding emperors are like a paintbrush, outlining what an excellent son of heaven should look like.
Introspect from time to time, compare with each other day by day, do not seek to surpass its people, as long as you can get closer, it is a blessing for the world.
Kong Ming's sketch summed up a view:
"The horse farm is really important."
"The more horses, the faster the soldiers, and the sooner the war ends, the less grain and grass will be consumed."
A typical counterexample is that in the old history of the light curtain, into Yizhou, in the Han Dynasty, and into Yiling.
It was often half a year and a year, and after the battle, the treasury was completely empty, and he even had to promise the soldiers the wealth of the treasury, which caused him to fall into an embarrassing situation.
Now that he has entered Yizhou, he has relied on the general trend to suppress it, and he has taken Hanzhong by surprise, and Jing Xiang has already planned it.
After careful calculation, it was a little more grain and grass consumed during the battle of Jingxiang, but it was all within the plan, and it did not put itself in an embarrassment.
Liu Bei bowed, then glanced at Fa Zheng and Zhang Fei and said:
"This matter still needs to be done by filial piety and Shiyuan."
Fa Zhengzheng couldn't ask for it, and laughed and took the order.
[And when the Tang army was in full swing in the Western Regions, there was a small diplomatic dispute in the southeast.
In the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, when Li Shimin was busy arguing with the Western Turks with sky-high dowries, Wang Xuance, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, was attacked.
Since Master Xuanzang returned to the Tang Dynasty, Tianzhu has had many contacts with the Tang Dynasty.
For example, in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Tianzhu took the initiative to come to the court; In the seventeenth year, Li Yibiao and Wang Xuance paid a friendly return visit.
In the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, Wang Xuance sent an envoy to Tianzhu again, but this time he encountered an accident:
The king of the sun drowned in the Ganges.
This is the king who opened the Dharma Conference for Xuanzang, the leader of the Jieri Dynasty, and one of the initiators of the friendly relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu.
Although Zhang Yuup often ridicules the history of India as the history of being beaten, there have certainly been accidents in the long history.
One of them was the Ring of the Sun Dynasty, which was one of India's native empires.
At its peak, it occupied one-third of India's territory, and because it was located in central India, it was also called Zhongtianzhu.
The founding of the country in 606 and the removal of the country in 647 Wang Xuance was very unlucky, and it was 647 when he arrived in Zhongtianzhu.
When the King of the Ring died without leaving an heir, the script is almost the same all over the world:
The minister Alonashun set himself up as king, and then he didn't know which tendon was wrong with the third brother, and launched an attack on the Tang mission.
All 30 members of the mission were captured, and only Wang Xuance and his deputy Jiang Shiren fled to Tibet.
As the saying goes, the more you think about it, the more you lose, and the more you take a step back, the more angry you become, Wang Xuance decided to take revenge.
At that time, Tubo was the husband of Princess Wencheng, Songtsen Gampo, and the two sides were in the honeymoon period, Wang Xuance told Songtsen Gampo about it, and Songtsen Gampo borrowed 1,200 soldiers and horses.
Songtsen Gampo's meaning is also very clear, take advantage of your strong momentum and ask the people of the mission to come back, and this matter will be settled.
But Wang Xuance couldn't swallow this breath, and went to Nepal to gather 7,000 people, and finally gathered 8,000 men and horses, and killed them violently.
In May of the 22nd year of Zhenguan, Wang Xuance led the army to attack Alona Shun, fought fiercely for three days in Chalu and Luocheng, beheaded 3,000 people, drowned 10,000 people, and Alona Shun abandoned the city and fled.
After escaping, Alona Shun integrated his men and horses, continued to fight again, and was defeated by Wang Xuance again and captured him alive.
In the end, Wang Xuance led his army to fight fiercely with the remnants of Alona Shun at the Qiantuo Weijiang River, and completely defeated the other party, capturing 12,000 prisoners alive.
Tianzhu was terrified, and the 580 towns of Tianzhu surrendered one after another, and the Jieri Dynasty was completely destroyed by the usurpation of Alonashun.
Wang Xuance won the class and escorted Alona Shun and other nobles back to Chang'an to punish the crime.
This incident is recorded in the history books with only more than 200 words, and there are few records of Wang Xuance's achievements, but only a few words:
Break it, break it, attack it, and die. 】
"It's an envoy?!"
Li Shimin didn't expect that it was a pity that he had been sent to walk with Xuanzang at this time.
And at that time, I was still speculating about how he joined the army, but I didn't expect that it was not a general, but an envoy.
But because of this, the meaning of appreciation on the face is even more obvious:
"Tang envoy, it should be so!"
Li Shiyun was dumbfounded, he thought that his 200 people had already paid great attention to the destruction of Xue Yantuo, but as a result, a fifty horsemen who had equalized the country of Khotan appeared behind him.
When I thought that this could be called the pinnacle of the Tang Dynasty, it turned out that one by one destroyed the country, and he was not a military general!
And this is just the early Tang Dynasty, and the Li Shiyun who said it behind the light curtain has not forgotten.
Single-handedly entered the battle of Wang Zhonghei.
Go deep into the high immortal zhi.
Li Shiyun couldn't help but sigh: Why are we generals in the Tang Dynasty so rolled!
"In this way, Your Majesty has used this person in the right place."
Li Jing said with a smile.
Maybe it's really old.,And it's a calm character itself.。
Therefore, Li Jing is more admiring and appreciating Wang Xuance's actions.
Li Shimin was embarrassed:
"Fortunately, now I, Tang, will also destroy the power of the Eastern Turks."
"Otherwise, this Wang Xuance coerced Tang Guowei, and maybe there would be some kind of chaos in the Western Regions."
His mouth was full of reproach, but his face was full of joy.
After all, everyone also understands that even if this battle is mainly to borrow the power of Datang.
But being able to borrow power is a manifestation of ability.
How many envoys are there in the Tang Dynasty? How can this be the only one who destroys the country?
After two more turns in the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin shook his head and said:
"I really can't wait for this Wang Xuance to return as soon as possible."
"Such a good talent should be cultivated."
"Now the Western Regions are still dangerous, and there are many ghosts, if you encounter an accident......
Li Shimin has already suffered from gains and losses in advance.
[Wang Xuance's single-handedly annihilation of the country, there are several key points that need to be straightened out:
First of all, Songtsen Gampo is helping as a master of the Tang Dynasty, so these 1,200 Tubo soldiers are thugs, how Wang Xuance handles this matter, Songtsan Gampo does not interfere but asks, so he does not enjoy the credit.
Secondly, the 7,000 soldiers and horses of Ni Bo Luo were recruited by Wang Xuance under the banner of the Tang Dynasty, not by borrowing soldiers, so Ni Bo Luo's own history does not record the dispatch of troops, nor does he enjoy the merits.
Nibhara's own history also records that the king of Deva at this time was obsessed with wine, sex, jewelry, and spices, and had no ambitions, so naturally he would not be enthusiastic about helping Wang Xuance.
It was Tianzhu's country that really helped Wang Xuance with the power of the whole country:
Dong Tianzhu gave 30,000 oxen and horses, and gave bows, knives and money.
The country of Jiawulu presented a map, and in return, he hoped to invite a portrait of Lao Tzu from Wang Xuance to worship.
The influence of the Tang Dynasty at that time can be seen.
Although in the end, the Tang Dynasty only benefited from the craftsmen brought back by Wang Xuance, so it did not pay much attention to this matter.
But because of this, Wang Xuance's charm is more highlighted.
In the face of adversity, he never succumbed to humiliation, put life and death aside, and relied on his personal charm and eloquence to maintain the dignity of the empire.
As an envoy, he commanded nearly 10,000 troops, destroyed its capital in World War I, captured its king in World War II, and destroyed its country in World War III.
The 200 words of the history are enough to leave his name, and he deserves to be called the sons and daughters of Chinese heroes. 】
"This Datang ......"
Zhang Fei had nothing to say, and almost groaned:
"Leave a way for people to live......"
A group of people in the Chengdu Mansion nodded violently.
Although the other party only detained the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, you can easily destroy a country and a country.
Although the same people of China are very relieved to see it, this thing is done very beautifully.
But doesn't this make it difficult for everyone in the future?
