On April 21, the second year of Kaiyuan, Yang Xuanning issued an order, Song Que, the king of Zhennan, to lead 100,000 troops and stationed in Longxi.

On the 22nd, Yang Xuanning issued an order that Luo Shixin lead 150,000 troops, stationed in Chang'an as the center, occupy the Longmen Ferry, and go north to look at Song Jingang, which is intended to cut off Liu Wuzhou's possible support for Hebei's operation.

directly sent an edict to Luo Shixin and said: "Although Liu Wuzhou occupies Taiyuan, his owner is only a wealthy family of the people. The official is not the captain of the Jianjie, although it is based on the Turks, and it is fast, but the army has no accumulation, and the people have no peace of mind, and the scholars are not attached, although Song Jingang is brave, but the lone army is deep, you only need to advance slowly, in order to contain its army and not move, when its own food is exhausted, and then attack, it is not appropriate to fight quickly at this time. ”

On April 23, the second year of Kaiyuan, Du Fuwei was ordered to Luoyang Group, leading an army of 50,000 Xu Shiji, leading an army of 50,000 Li Jing, leading an army of 100,000 and 20,000 water divisions of the Fourth Route Army, with Li Jing as the commander, starting from the south, straight to Hebei, attacking Dou Jiande Dou Jiande had no choice but to give up Luo Yi and return to the division to fight, and on May 29 of Kaiyuan, the two armies formally fought Li Jing and fought with it, holding each other for a month, the Dou army could not advance, many battles were unfavorable, morale was low, and most importantly, even the grain and grass were insufficient, and Luoyang went up, the grain and grass army was full of ordnance, and the morale was more and more prosperous。

On the 11th day of the seventh month of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Li Jing judged that the time for the decisive battle had come, and broke through the Dou army with 5,000 horsemen, and attacked in three ways, Dou Jiande's formation was in chaos, and the whole formation collapsed, the Tang army pursued the field, captured 50,000 people, Dou Jiande was wounded, and led his wife Cao, and hundreds of horsemen fled back, and Li Jing pressed step by step.

Until the army came to the city, there were only 30,000 soldiers in the city. The left servant shot Qi Shanxing and said: "The king pacifies Heshuo, the soldiers and horses are strong, and once the army is defeated like this, isn't it the destiny of heaven to return? ”

The ministers seconded.

In fact, at this time, everyone knew that Dou Jiande could no longer compete for the world, so they naturally thought that no one would accompany the funeral. In particular, Dou Jiande has only been king for two years, but the so-called authority has not been gong, especially when he is defeated.

Dou Jiande was forced by the ministers, and had no choice but to distribute the treasury property to his subordinates, let them disperse, and surrendered three days later, and the entire Hebei fell into the hands of Yang Tang.

Yang Xuanning issued an order and named Li Jing as the general of Zhengerpin Zhenyi. Approaching Youzhou.

He also named Dou Jiande as the Marquis of Righteous Township and immediately went to Luoyang.

Li Jing and Luo Yi fought for the first time, Luo Yi rode out to attack, won a small victory, and surrendered again.

On August 15 of the second year of Kaiyuan. Yang Xuanning issued an order to seal Luo Yi as the Marquis of Yanyun, the governor of Zhuo County, and lead the Yanjie army, Luo Yi seemed to be insufficient, but he still surrendered. handed over Zhuo County, Liucheng County, and Huaiyuan.

Since then. Originally, the Sui Expedition Goryeo frontline base had all fallen into the hands of Yang Tang.

General Du Fuwei Jin Sanpin. Feng Huaiyuan County Governor, the secret decree said: "Qing can be off this year, but starting next year, hundreds of thousands of horsemen can be sent out to burn and plunder the territory of Goryeo, burn and plunder, burn farmland, and be tired for a long time. ”

Xu Shiji, a general of Jin Sanpin, led an army of 100,000, and Luo Shixin raised troops at the same time and attacked Hedong.

In November of the second year of Kaiyuan, the Song Jingang army that held the Tang army was finally cut off from grain and straw, and was forced to retreat to the north.

Xu Shiji said: "Song Jingang was defeated, the army's heart has been chaotic, at this time to pursue, you can take advantage of the situation, if he returns, and then join forces with the Turks, the court is difficult to capture, our army would rather take great risks, not leave a disaster for the country." ”

At the moment, continue to lead the army to continue the pursuit, Song Jingang led 20,000 elite soldiers, back to the city to set up a formation, a decisive battle, Cheng Zhijie out of the cavalry defeated the Song Jin army, eliminated the last main force of Song Jingang, Liu Wuzhou was shocked, abandoned the border of Hedong, and Song Jingang fled to the Turks.

Since then, the world has been unified.

In the first month of the third year of Kaiyuan, Yang Xuanning officially returned to Luoyang, taking it as the capital, and was crowned a hero.

Zhennan Wang Song Que, sealed 15,000 acres, the first Li Bo Feng An Guogong, the real seal 12,000 mu, the second Luo Shixin, the seal of Licheng County, the real seal of 10,000 acres Li Jing, the seal of Sanyuan County Gong, the actual seal of 9,500 acres Du Fuwei, Xu Shiji, Yu Xuan, Wei Zheng, Li Baiyao, Lu Miaozi, Shi Zhixuan, Gao Zhandao and others, meritorious to Sheji, all sealed Hou, 8,000 mu to 6,000 acres Fang Xuanling as a servant of the Ministry of Officials, seniority is still shallow, fortunately from the dragon is still early, named Bo, the real seal of 5,500 acres of Wei Chi Jingde, Xu Xingzhi, Cheng Zhijie, Chen Changlin, Li Chunfeng is also an uncle, and he has about 5,000 acres of real seals, and Shan Xiongxin and other generals who have surrendered halfway, if they don't have great merit, they are mostly among viscounts and barons.

As for people like Dou Jiande, who were originally heroes and were demoted to marquis, I won't talk about them one by one.

In the month, Qiuzi, Turkic, Goryeo, Dangxiang, Japan, and sent tribute.

On April 6, the twelfth year of Kaiyuan, the concubine stood on the high platform, watching the grand scene of fireworks over the imperial city in the twilight, and the brilliant fireworks dotted the sky with incomparably brilliant.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The shouts of millions of soldiers and civilians in the city rushed straight to the sky.

As Xu Ziling saw, she was still so beautiful and so fragile.

Facing the night wind, wearing mink, his face is snow-white, and his eyes are clear, but the realm of empty mountains and spiritual rain seems to be more real.

I haven't seen her for ten years, Xu Ziling stared at her blankly, and couldn't even speak for a while.

The moon shines on the forest, only a little farther away, and the sound of the banquet is still shadowy.

Xu Ziling came to his senses, took a deep breath, and said, "Concubine Xuan, how have you been in the past ten years?"

Concubine Xuan showed a faint wry smile and said, "It's okay." ”

Because Concubine Xuan gave birth to a son and a daughter, she was promoted to Concubine An without discrimination, but in the past few years, although she has no worries about food and clothing, her grace has faded, and she often does not see Yang Xuanning for several months.

Although this news is in the palace, it is not a secret yet, Xu Ziling saw this, his heart was like a knife, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Concubine Xuan met his gaze, looked deeply into the depths of his eyes, and said calmly: "Xu Ziling, it's been ten years, you are still like this, although it is said that at the Lin Wan banquet, the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers is not formal, but. Who told you the news that you came?"

Xu Ziling was taken aback, and said with a wry smile: "Could it be?"

He also occasionally heard about the affairs of the court.

The concubine showed a sad smile: "It doesn't matter, it's just a ploy of the new concubine, but I don't know who the concubines in the harem, together with the saints, are, this kind of trick." It's just self-destruction. ”

Xu Ziling was dumbfounded, facing her deep and clear eyes, an indescribable taste welled up in his heart, and he said bitterly after a while: "Concubine Xuan doesn't want to see me?"

The concubine showed a slight red glow, but her tone was surprisingly calm, and she said slowly: "What if you come to see you?"

After being silent for a while, he said: "Ziling has finally advanced to the realm of grandmasters in the past ten years, but please teach me four animals and one daughter." Is it possible to be a teacher? Just ask for two, and be able to live a peaceful life. ”

Xu Ziling had an ominous premonition, and he could only respond: "Of course." ”

Concubine Xuan smiled again and said, "I was in Luoyang back then." I used to remember, you were moved for Xiufang, and now she still refuses to marry you?"

Xu Ziling felt extremely sad in his heart, but he could only smile: "Everyone upside down all beings, then I am willing to bend to me, and a song at this banquet will move the audience." And she's already packed up. Get ready for another journey of wandering. Alas. Maybe she doesn't belong anywhere, she doesn't belong to someone. She belongs to the pursuit of quyi, song, and art. ”

The concubine was silent.

At this time, at the banquet, Song Que, Li Bo, Luo Shixin, Du Fuwei, Xu Shiji, Yu Xuan, Wei Zheng, Li Baiyao, Lu Miaozi, Shi Zhixuan, Gao Zhandao, Fang Xuanling, Wei Chi Jingde, Xu Xingzhi, Cheng Zhijie, Chen Changlin, Li Chunfeng, Shan Xiongxin, and even Li Yuan, Xue Renbang, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, who were originally Zhuxiong and were demoted to marquis, all participated in the celebration of the state banquet.

And the protagonist is Li Jing. "Aiqing is from a family of Jiangmen, and Qing's uncle Han Baohu once caressed you and said, you can talk about the art of Sun and Wu, but you are a person, and my grandfather has also praised Xu Jia, and now I have to praise what the sages said, Qing has made this great contribution and is immortal with the country!"

Yang Xuanning said happily.

At this time, Li Fei was already illusory, he coughed, and said: "This is the great luck of the saint, and the minister dares to take credit? "What's the matter?

Yang Xuanning looked at him and said. "Back to the saint, the minister in the grassland through the wind and frost, and hit the arrow, often feel tired, unbearable, please Your Majesty God's grace, let the minister return to his hometown, the minister has not returned to his hometown for more than ten years, want to come to the tears. ”

Li Fei stepped forward and said, he knew that he was now the king of the county, and he had reached the pole of the ministers, and if he stayed in the court, it would not only be useless, but would be a big disaster.

Suddenly, the audience was silent, and all the ministers were thoughtful.

Yang Xuanning showed a hint of a smile, Li Jing was determined to forge ahead when he was a teenager, but once he was rich and noble, and he was deeply afraid of being full, he could retreat contentmently, of course he understood his intentions, and appreciated his actions very much, so he said: "The public can understand the general, deep and commendable, Qing has a disease, and wants to return to his hometown to recuperate, I can not allow it, I will become the Yazhi of the public, and I will give you a thousand silk horses." ”

Li Jing was overjoyed, knelt down and said, "Thank you for the grace of God." ”

After retreating, there was a little silence on the field, and then Shang Xiufang said: "The prairie outside the Seychelles, the surface of a thousand forms, the vast land covered by meadow steppes, forest steppes and dry steppes, the arid and formidable desert, the undulating, overgrown hills, and the lakes on the grasslands, the tents on the shores of the lake, the herds of cattle and sheep, the endless fields stretch straight to the end of the heaven and earth, whether the sky is full of white clouds or the sky is full of stars, the prairie and the water are so charming, after this feast, I want to go to the grassland." "Xiufang wants to go anywhere, I won't let it, but on the grassland, it's not okay yet, the grassland is just calm, a large number of horse thieves are still raging, the situation is too chaotic." ”

Yang Xuanning said categorically. "Is this a holy decree?"

Shang Xiufang said with some dissatisfaction. "It is the decree of God. ”

Yang Xuanning said.

At this time, Fang Xuanling has become a household monk, knows the secrets of the imperial court, knows that the Eastern Turks have been wiped out, but Bi Xuan is injured but does not die, is organizing a clumsy capture net, the three holy monks, have to be ordered by the emperor, go out with all their strength, do not kill Bi Xuan, must not return to the Central Plains, if you kill Bi Xuan on the grassland, the court has a plan.

smiled at the moment: "The general returned to his hometown victoriously, the news spread rapidly, in the city of Luoyang, every household put up lanterns, changed new clothes, burned firecrackers, and the people were extremely excited, which was the extreme prosperity of the Han family for hundreds of years." The minister is in charge of the household department, so he knows. In the early years of the new century, there were three million households, one horse of silk, and one bucket of rice. Now all the household registrations, a total of 5.8 million households, four or five dollars of rice, those who have not closed their accounts for several months, horses and cattle have been wild, and people have no food for dozens of miles. The people are in abundance. "And the conquered people, two million people, women and children migrated to the interior, and the strong men thought that they were official slaves, and for more than ten years, they built roads and palaces, built ships, repaired cities, and mined ores. It doesn't cost the country a penny, the country doesn't move the people, and it becomes a big thing, and there is no prosperity in ancient and modern times!" Suddenly, everyone praised. Li Bo had a wry smile, in the past ten years, the Tang Dynasty has continued to plunder foreign slaves, serving as migrant workers, and the project is not inferior to Emperor Sui Yan, if it is not for the granary There is enough food. and the beginning of a boom in the South. One acre produces three stones. Even if the state does not pay the wages, it cannot afford such a large scale.

He has been the prime minister for 12 years. You must not hold any further office, but before you leave, you must counsel the Holy One.

Song Que was silent, thinking in his heart.

"In the third year of Kaiyuan, Du Fuwei began to attack and kill Goryeo, with a thousand horsemen as a team, everywhere he went, he plundered people when he saw them, burned them when he saw houses, and burned them when he saw fields, and Goryeo was miserable. "In the fifth year of Kaiyuan, the Goryeo master Fu Cailin led the master to attack and kill Du Fuwei, Du Fuwei was wounded and did not die, and went to the master to fold, Fu Junhao died in battle, Fu Junsui was captured, Song Shidao tried to protect Fu Junsui, the saint was furious, Song Que asked for guilt, and invited himself to the lord of the king of Zhennan, the saint did not allow it, and returned to the city, but the Song family also suffered a great loss of power. ”

"In the eighth year of Kaiyuan, Goryeo was plundered for five years, 200,000 people were slaves in the Central Plains, the fields were barren, and the national strength was exhausted, so Du Fuwei led the army to conquer Goryeo, all the way to victory, Pyongyang City was finally captured, a total of 176 cities, 697,000 households, Fu Cailin died in Pyongyang. "The Goryeo Kingdom was destroyed, and all the soldiers and soldiers moved to the south, and then moved the Han people in the interior to Goryeo, placed Kyushu, 41 counties, and since Emperor Wen of Sui, they have repeatedly invaded Goryeo, but none of them succeeded. Emperor Yan of Sui invaded Liao four times and died as a result. Now Du Fuwei has built this great achievement, and he has been promoted to the town of Ligong. ”

"Goryeo is destroyed, there is no future, 300,000 horses in Longxi are used against the Turks, and the conflicts have continued over the years, and thousands of horses are lost every year, but the Central Plains can bear it, and the Turks are difficult to bear. ”

"In August of the eleventh year of Kaiyuan, Li Li broke through the Eastern Turks, Jieli Khan was captured, completely relieved the great trouble that plagued the land for many years, and washed the decline of the Middle Earth army since the death of the Han Dynasty. ”

Yang Xuanning looked up at the starry sky, the stars were brilliant and dazzling, and when he saw Song Que thoughtfully, his heart moved, so he got up, and after a while, Song Que really asked to see him. "King Zhennan, take a walk outside with me!"

Shanglin Wan is not a forbidden palace, and it is not far from the place where the people live.

Of course, at this time, Yang Xuanning was full of concentrated masters.

Yang Xuanning sat in the special carriage, looked out the window, watched the cars in Luoyang come and go, and sometimes there were bursts of firecrackers, full of entertainment and prosperity in the prosperous world.

Yang Xuanning watched: Looking at today's prestige, I truly believe that I have created a prestige, which is not inferior to the great cause of any previous emperor and emperor. ”

"The Holy Land has indeed revived the Han Dynasty, and under the ages, there is only the emperor. ”

Song Que said, to this day, in the past ten years, Yang Xuanning has swept through the outside world, the internal security is clear, the prestige is impressive, and there is no one in the world who dares to openly confront Yang Xuanning has a relic essence, which is ten times that of ordinary people, as an emperor, he gathers the spirit of heaven, earth and man, so now, even Song Que does not know what realm he has reached.

The carriage turned, and the river trickled beneath him. In the city of Luoyang, the mansion compound is lined with riverbanks, and the weather is myriad.

Yang Xuanning shook his head and said with a smile: "I dominate the world and take Goryeo first, because the land of Goryeo controls the Liao River Valley, and there are tens of millions of acres of fertile farmland in the Liao River Valley, so Goryeo controls the Donghu tribes and has become the third force outside the Turks and this dynasty, how can I allow it?"

Now that Goryeo is gone, I have taken control of the Liao River Valley, and the Donghu tribes have had to submit, and for the past five or six years, I have been moving people to the Liao River territory to develop their fertile farmland. ”

This dynasty has destroyed the Eastern Turks, and there have always been voices of war, and they want to take advantage of the victory to destroy the Western Turks, but I actually don't allow it, so why does the king of Zhennan know?"

Hearing Yang Xuanning personally say that the large-scale war with foreign countries should be terminated, Song Que was relieved, and he couldn't say what he wanted to persuade him, pondered for a while, and said: "It's because of the people's strength!"

Haha, the king of Zhennan only said the surface, in fact, the people's power is only one reason, and the real reason is arable land. ”

Arable land?"

Song Que was taken aback, and he didn't expect this answer.

Exactly. Goryeo was destroyed, I took the Liao River Valley, there is fertile farmland, the Han people can migrate, decades later, there will be millions of Han people, it is not easy to live forever, but the so-called stronger the more the war, and on the grassland. Has the king of Zhennan ever paid attention to the annual rainfall?"

"The Holy One said that the grassland cannot be cultivated land?"

Song is missing a little bit.

"That's right, King Zhennan, if you look closely, you can know that once the rain is less than a certain degree, it is not allowed to cultivate, because it is difficult for the Han people in the steppe to gain a foothold, and now they have the land of the Eastern Turks, which is tens of thousands of miles. However, it could not be digested for its own use, and if it continued to fight, not only would the imperial court spend a lot of money, but also the elite troops of the strong army were stationed in distant places, which was difficult to control. I had to set up a town and set up a festival envoy, just for fear that there would be trouble in the future. ”

In fact, the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty has its profound background.

When the Tang Dynasty was in its heyday, it conquered millions of square kilometers in the Western Regions, but the result was indigestible, which led to a large number of elite soldiers gathering on the frontier. Many people don't know the roots. I thought this was a mistake on the part of the knots. In fact, under the circumstances of the time, the festival was not implemented. Not at all.

In such a complex situation as the Western Regions, it was necessary for Jiedu to expand the authority of the feudal towns.

If you don't want to establish a feudal town, there are only two ways, the first is that there are enough Han people in the local area, so the officials will govern the people and the army in the future, but the Western Regions and the grassland environment, there is no way to do this, and the second is not to take the grassland as land, "But the threat of the Hu people exists from time to time, what can the saints do?" I don't have a good way, I first is to plant trees, as soon as there are more forests, there will be more rain, and the underground savings will be thicker, so that the Han people can expand the boundaries, and second, this time, I will reduce the Eastern Turkic men to slavery, and in the past few decades, it has not become a disaster, but the grassland has no owner, there must be a new Hu, so I divide the grassland, reward the grassland and the dependent small tribes, and limit the scope of activities of each tribe. Divide and rule, third, I plan to build more temples on the grassland, abolish its immortality, and revive Buddhism, anyway, in the Central Plains, the land temple is already available, and the soil is sacrificed, and Taoism is prosperous. ”

As for the other grassland forces, I can only deal with the Qinggu, send troops every year, plunder the grassland population as slaves, frontier soldiers, not only can get military merits, but also get money to sell slaves, the Central Plains can also get a large number of free slaves to govern the river and build roads, but the so-called construction of millions without tiring a single people, in the long run, everyone wants to plunder the foreign population to enrich their homes, so, the big wish is enough!"

Song Que thought for a moment and said softly: "The long-term division of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the unification of Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty is actually another historical event following the Warring States to the unification of Qin, which determines the number of millennium of the Han Dynasty in the future. "At that time, Qing Hui once said that the Han nationality not only has an advantage in numbers, but also has obvious superiority in the economic and cultural level, as long as there is enough time, the invading foreign ethnic groups can be assimilated, but this kind of ethnic integration based on invasion and Huhua, even if it can be peaceful for a while, it will be slumped from now on, it is the loss of Taoism, the loss of the number of gas, now the holy reconstruction, the country is really thriving, and my great wish in this life has been flattened." ”

Yang Xuanning gave birth to respect in his heart, indeed, originally Li Tang represented the passive integration of the Han nationality and obtained the world, but the result was only a hundred years, the world was in chaos, and after the continuous invasion of Liaojin, the Mongolian Jurchens entered the Central Plains, and the Han Dynasty was really sluggish in the future, this kind of foresight is really good.

At this moment, Yang Xuanning looked out the window.

Song Que noticed Yang Xuanning's strange situation, and was surprised as he looked.

In the distance, a cute little girl jumped up and down carrying a basket of fresh fruits and rushed towards them.

The guards were about to intercept her, but she saw the little girl panting and standing in front of the carriage and said, "My mother told me to send this." ”

Yang Xuanning's heart moved, and said, "Let her come over." ”

The little girl came up, Yang Xuanning personally took the fruit basket and asked, "What's your name?"

The little girl said, "My name is Mingkong. As he spoke, he turned around and ran back, and a little farther away, a beautiful figure of a woman, dressed in white like snow, and barefoot under her skirt.

Song Que frowned and said, "It turned out to be a frolic, what is she doing here?"

Yang Xuanning smiled instead of smiling, watching the little girl throw herself into the arms of the prostitute, and the prostitute waved her jade hand to say goodbye.

The prostitution hall didn't go to Beijing last time, but Yang Xuanning didn't ask her to enter the palace to serve her again, and she didn't see her again for eight years.

The little girl in her arms, in terms of qi, floated a shell, opened and closed, rotated endlessly, and even carried some colorful emperor qi, and she already understood it in her heart. "I haven't seen her for ten years, even she has a grandmaster, this girl, I don't know if she is her apprentice or her own daughter?"

Seeing the two of them, gradually sinking into the depths of the street, Song Que said.

Yang Xuanning picked up a rare fresh fruit in this season, and said with a smile: "The bright moon is in the sky, this is a good name full of imagery, and I will see you again if I have a fate." ”

After speaking, he ignored the two of them, ordered the car to drive through the streets of Luoyang, and then headed towards the imperial palace.

Regardless of the changes in the sky, you can take a leisurely stroll, and everything is under control. Datang Volume 2 One Sword Turns to Three Thousand Miles Chapter 125 - The Unification of the World (Finale)
