Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Rise of Han Unification
The sound of killing under the battlefield roared through the canyon and became louder and louder. \、0M\
Hidden in a dense forest on a hillside, Puguan water looks up the hill.
The 100,000 and 100,000 armies confronted each other, covering the plains, the sound of hooves sounded in the sky, and five thousand cavalry rushed out from one side, spreading the whole country like a tide, forming a torrent, on the flat plain, these five thousand cavalry continued to attack, reducing the distance of the attack to less than half a mile, until there was an amazing power to shake the mountains and mountains.
"Zong Luohou led the cavalry to charge. Pu Guanshui's eyes showed a certain look.
The cavalry kept approaching and rushed into Li Tang's army.
Pu Guanshui glanced back and saw that the people behind him were recording the battle, nodded and said, "Do a good job, record everything, and go back to ask the king for credit." ”
"Master Pu, what do you say about this victory?" the deputy envoy stepped forward and asked.
"There is not much difference between the two forces, the same is true for training and food and grass supply, Xue Ju and Xue Ren, martial arts are first-class masters, and the general Zong Luohou is even more wise and brave, in terms of martial arts, Li Shimin is really worse, and Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan may not win, but Xue Ju has five thousand horsemen, it seems that Li Shimin is very likely to lose. Pu Guanshui just said this, and he saw where Xue Ju's cavalry was charging, although Li Tangjun tried to fight with it, but it was still in chaos.
In fact, the Xuanjia of the King of Qin, who will be famous all over the world in the future, was established after Li Shimin clearly realized the strength of the cavalry after this battle, and the Xuanjia Breaking Formation was also obtained from this battle.
"Where did Xue Ju get so many cavalry?
Pu Guanshui shook his head and said, "Xue raised the matter in Jincheng. Nearby is the Sui army horse farm, first to get so many horses, the Turks are divided into dozens of tribes, each department only has thousands or tens of thousands of war horses, no matter how generous it is, it is impossible to give so much. Seeing that Zong Luo Hou rode first, leading the cavalry to kill left and right, and no one could stop him wherever he went, he immediately praised and said: "Zong Luo Houyu and Xue Ju practice martial arts, the two of them are like brothers and sisters, and they are Xue Ju's first general." Now it's really extraordinary. ”
He sighed and said: "But Xue Ju is not a general, and there is a mistake in the art of war, if this cavalry waits for half a day before attacking, it will break through Li Shimin's camp in one battle, instead of being entangled like now." ”
The deputy envoy groaned for a moment and said, "If the Turks are willing to send troops, Li Shimin can't stop them at all. ”
Pu Guanshui glanced at him and said lightly: "How can this possibility, the relationship between Li Valve and the Turks is far closer than that of Xue Ju, when Li Valve and the Turks joined forces to force the Holy Lord to move south. It can be seen that they are closely related to each other. ”
In that case, why didn't the Turks help Li Valve? Presumably Li Valu would have put forward this meaning. ”
"The Eastern and Western Turks were divided, and the Turks were also greatly injured, and after the chaos in the Sui world, the Eastern Turks were also unable to attack directly, and the strategy set was to take the opportunity to support the anti-Sui forces to raise troops and wantonly divide and manipulate to aggravate the war in the Central Plains, and the Three Kingdoms were divided that year. and the Rebellion of the Eight Kings. All made the Turks understand that only if the Central Plains continued internal friction, they would have a chance. At present, Xue Ju, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Li Rail, and Gao Kaidao are all vassals in the north and are called their khans. Li Valve also followed. ”
"We've found out. Xue Ju bribed the Turks. When conspiring to advance Chang'an, Li Yuan hurriedly sent the Turks. Bribes with large amounts of gold silk. Moreover, he promised to cede the two counties of Wuyuan and Yulin, and use Lingzhou as the boundary with the Turks, on the condition that not only would he not aid Xue Ju, but also help the Tang army. Puguan snorted coldly: "Wuyuan and Yulin are located in the Hetao, which is the first natural line of defense against the northern nomads in the Central Plains, and the Eastern Turks have obtained gold and silk, and will push the dividing line with the Central Plains to the south for hundreds of miles, so they are naturally more willing to trade with the Tang Dynasty, so they turn to support the Tang army." The Turkic dispatch of Luo's son Yu Sheshe, led the ten thousand families into Henan, expanding his power to the Hetao area, Li Yuan betrayed the country to seek troops, and removed the barrier of the Han people against the grassland forces, which is really reprehensible. ”
"Yes, betraying the barrier, the Central Plains Belt will be exposed to the Turkic cavalry, Li Yuan is not afraid of another Wuhu invasion, if it is really a Hu species, his heart will be different. The deputy envoy also scolded himself.
"However, Wuyuan County is too guarded by Zhang Changxun, and the county descends to Tang, in fact, it maintains a subordinate relationship with the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, I think Li Tang will backtrack after he stands on his feet, after all, Wuyuan is too important, once it all falls into the hands of the Turks, Li Tang himself will not be able to sleep and eat, I think there are still changes in this matter. ”
"Yes, in fact, who in the north does not pay tribute to the Turks, Dou Jiande is said to have now also visited the Turkic Great Khan and proclaimed himself a vassal with him to gain the support of the Turks. The deputy envoy sighed and said, "Now those who do not claim to the Turks are the only kings!"
"I came to the north to investigate, to know a lot, the Turkic strategy, I have one hand in mind, when I go back to see the king, I write a plan to the king, so that the king knows the truth. Pu Guanshui said with a smile.
"Master Pu, I hope you will give me more advice. The deputy envoy said respectfully.
Pu Guanshui glanced at him and knew that it was impossible for him to compete with him, so he immediately said with a smile: "It's okay, the war will be entangled for a while, I'll tell you about it first." ”
"When the Sui Dynasty was strong, the Turks tried their best to support the various forces to raise troops against the Sui, causing the world to be torn apart in order to gain hegemony from it. Bai Yuyu of Lingwu County in the ninth year of the Great Cause, Wang Xuba and Wei Dao'er of Shanggu County in the eleventh year, Xue Ju of Jincheng County in the thirteenth year, Liu Wuzhou of Mayi County, Liang Shidu of Shuofang County, Li Yuan of Taiyuan, Zhang Changxun of Wuyuan County, Li Liang of Wuwei County, Hu Ren Liu Jizhen of Lishi County,
Guo Zihe, and even Dou Jiande and Liu Hei of Hejian County all asked for support from the Turks, but the Eastern Turks did not refuse, through horse trading, and even gave to support these Central Plains forces to disrupt the world. ”
"When Li Yuan got up, the Turks sent 1,000 horses to Taiyuan Jiaoshi, promising to send troops to attack Chang'an with Li Yuan, Li Yuan was afraid of his noisy guests, so he only needed 500 horses, but he had already gained the momentum of the Turks' help. ”
However, this kind of support is not fixed, and it is not suitable for the Turks to directly invade the Central Plains at present, so the object of support is determined by the wealth and the thickness of the bribe. Therefore, the Turks had political affiliations with more than a dozen northern regimes, and the interests of these regimes were contradictory. Sometimes even sharply opposed, in the case of they both asked the Turks for help, where the Turks supported it, neither depends on the closeness of the relationship between the two sides, nor on the order of promises, but on the thickness of the economic benefits provided. ”
"It's just that Li Valve is different from the Turks, and the Sui Dynasty has collapsed. Li Valve is becoming more and more powerful in the north, and if he destroys the separatist forces one by one, he will definitely clash with the Turks, and the Turks will go all out to deal with Li Tang in order to maintain their hegemony in the north. ”
"I will advise the king that I should give more money and rice to the northern magnates in exchange for population and other goods, and these magnates shall be offered to the Turks in order to gain support. In this way, the Turks will also push the boat down the river, weaken their support for Li Tang, and increase their support for other forces. Although Pu Guanshui didn't know, in history, Li Yuan wanted to gain support. Contribution to the Turkic front and back. It is not to be remembered, and in history it is said that "the emperor is slightly in the world, so he bows to the courtesy, and many loans".
However, he also had insight into the situation and understood the key points in the north. So he said, "So." My king can lay out calmly. The first strike caused people to die. I will report it to the king in a flying book, and ask the king to judge it. ”
Speaking of which, seeing nearly 200,000 people fighting in the plains below, the sound of killing shook the sky, and there were countless large groups of soldiers, each for their master, and constantly falling down, in fact, it was a question of who died fast and who died more.
With the passage of time, after thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, dozens of counties, and then came to Jiangdu, bluntly speaking, the letter entered the palace, and came to a beautiful garden of the royal family.
The sound of the zither faintly came from behind a bamboo forest, and the melody was indescribably lingering. Skimming the path between the embroidered forests, suddenly open up in front of you, a cool hall half dwells on the small lake, the cool hall is not big, made of bamboo, faintly visible, there are some people sitting inside.
The first seat is Yang Xuanning and Li Bo, and the kite player is Shang Xiufang, she strokes the zither with both hands and lowers her head, but it is the slightly dewy snow-white skin, which is enough to tug anyone's heartstrings.
The female officer brought the letter inside, looked around, and saw that she was in a bamboo room. This bamboo room is only a few zhang square, but it is extremely quiet and elegant.
First of all, the water is a color, shining on the wall, which is the beauty of building near the water.
There is also a bookcase made of rosewood, which is full of Danjing Taoist books, and a small one under it, above the small table, a celadon vase, with several flowers, between the sparse, will not be put away, and there is a tube of jade flute resting on it, and a woman is sitting on it, reading a book leisurely, it is really Concubine Shen Youlan.
And Yang Xuanning and Li Bo sat in the middle seat, closed their eyes, completely immersed in the sky of the sound of the zheng, her sound of the Zheng is a different taste than the sound of Shi Qingxuan's flute, Shi Qingxuan always has a taste that seems to be close to the real and far away, and the world is independent.
And Shang Xiufang is for the sake of art, so she starts with love, lingering, the more she listens, the more difficult it becomes, but she will not be too sad, and tune her seven emotions and follow it, the two carefully taste the music, and ignore anything else.
But the female official did not dare to slack off, knelt down, and waited for the sound of the zither to subside, and said: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report." ”
Shang Xiufang looked up when he heard the sound, "Ah", interrupted the sound of the kite, but Yang Xuanning was not angry, knowing that it was not urgent, it would not be like this, he opened his eyes, and saw that Shang Xiufang was getting up, and hurriedly got up to help him, so he said: "Everyone Shang, don't get up." ”
Shang Xiufang touched his skin, both of them had a strange feeling, Shang Xiufang smiled, full of charm, and said: "Your Majesty, Xiufang is cared for and loved by the king, and she is very grateful, but it is a military matter, Xiufang dare not hear more, the king wants to listen to songs and dances in the future, just send an envoy to summon him, and he will not be polite at this time." ”
Shang Xiufang is such a smart person, knowing that Yang Xuanning's personality is in a certain aspect, he is very decent, so although he is favored, his tone is still very humble and polite, and sure enough, Yang Xuanning smiled: "In this way, there is no Shang everyone, but Shang everyone is not subject to the gift of jewelry, and the widow really doesn't know what to give?"
Shang Xiufang's eyes swept over and smiled: "Why don't you give Xiufang more Biluochun, how about it?"
Yang Xuanning smiled dumbly: "Shang everyone really has a problem for the widow, this year's Biluochun, the best tribute is only twenty-four taels, the widow gave the ministers, half of it has gone, and then give it to Shang everyone like this, the widow has nothing to drink." ”
Shang Xiufang got up quietly, her skirt swaying. Seeing snow on the low chest, without jewelry, but she is naturally beautiful, and she is gorgeous, but she is smiling: "You have no jokes, even if the king is distressed, he has to give some Xiufang." ”
Yang Xuanning said with a sad face
Since Xiufang said so, the widow had to give it up, so he would give Xiu He again?"
At this time, the sunset was in the mountains, and the return scene was directly reflected in the room, Shang Xiufang smiled: "The king has the world in his heart, why be so stingy, Xiufang will ask the king next time." ”
After speaking, she bent her waist and saluted, and left, while Concubine Jing Shen Youlan also slowly stood up and also said goodbye.
At this time, Li Bo opened his eyes. said: "Your Majesty, do you know that your favor makes her transcendent, and the ministers and generals are all proud of inviting her, and if the king likes it, it is better to directly enter the palace." ”
Yang Xuanning smiled and said, "It's okay, the factory guard recorded her whereabouts." I didn't see what she really had in mind. If not, why not if the widow respects his pursuit and loves his beauty? Shang Xiufang is only seventeen this year, and she has a secret study and a gorgeous appearance. Another ten years. It's not too late to take the harem. You know, this woman is beautiful. Yu Jinyi, the widow really hopes that ten years later, when art music is at its peak, the beauty of the quality. ”
After speaking, he took the secret fold, read it carefully, there were many secret folds, and read it repeatedly, his face slowly sank, and he handed it to the prime minister to read.
Li Bo also read it carefully a few times, showing a hint of joy, and said: "Congratulations to the king, Xue Ju broke Li Shimin, the deceased was fifteen or sixteen, and the generals Murong Luo, Li Anyuan, and Liu Hongji were all trapped, and they were captured by them, which was beneficial to the king's great cause, and this person discerned clearly, had insight into the mystery, and the king had another capable minister." ”
"Xue Ju broke Li Shimin, Hu Jiao had to take action, I see that the four holy monks, Liancihang Jingzhai, are indispensable, although Xue Ju has been reminded by us, but whether he can escape this catastrophe, it is still difficult to say. Yang Xuanning said: "But this son is really useful, and his opinions are very consistent with those discussed by the ministers." ”
"Exactly, the Turks are divided, the soldiers are insufficient, and there are few iron tools and food, the Turks are categorically not able to invade on a large scale at this time, but they can wantonly ask for tribute coins, and split and manipulate the northern secession forces, therefore, the trend of the north's strong and declining is actually in the coins, which are rare in the past dynasties, and they have also learned to control the Han with Han.
"The Turks now, a person who takes half of the Hu and half Han is an official in the Turks, and recently there are even Han people who have joined the Turks, so the Turks have a lot of tricks, even if we get the world, there must be a lot of people left in the Central Plains Hu family, and secretly communicate with them, we must be on guard!" Yang Xuanning paused, and said: "Chang'an is located in the Guanzhong Plain, south of the Wei River, north of the Qinling Mountains, fertile for thousands of miles, surrounded by mountains. Since ancient times, it has been a transportation and military point, Zhou, Qin, and Han have all taken this as their capital, but the so-called fertile people are rich, and there are risks to defend these eight characters. In terms of wealth, Li Tang is far superior to Zhuxiong, and it seems that the Turkic tendency towards Li Tang is inevitable. ”
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much, we will send the Ministry of Rites to make friends with the northern heroes, cultivate influence, exchange trade, and also buy fine horses to enter, although the number is not much, and the gains in coins outweigh the losses, but it can prolong the number of heroes and increase the obstacles of Li Tang, Your Majesty, as long as there are three more years, the minister guarantees that the south is solid, and the elite soldiers dare not say that there are millions of elite soldiers, and 600,000 elite soldiers can be obtained, and there is no internal trouble, the king can calmly go north, sweep the world in one fell swoop, what is this coin now?" Li Bo said: " Moreover, our sea trade with it, gradually has great profits, just to supplement this, will not work the people and lose money, or delay the military and political consumption, do not let Li Tang, sweep away the trouble in the west, and then watch the north to compete with the deer, take the mussel to fight, and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman. ”
Yang Xuanning breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, stretched his waist and said: "With Mr. here, the widow can rest assured! The widow loves women, and the palace practices the dance of the goddess, among which Duo Lise, I want to see more." ”
Li Bo shook his head and smiled: "Why should the king bully the old ministers? The major affairs of the world and the big and small affairs in the country are all under the control of the king." ”
Just as the two looked at each other and smiled, there were anxious steps, the two suddenly looked at each other, and Yang Xuanning said regretfully: "It seems that God still doesn't want to make it so easy for the widow?"
As he spoke, he sat back on the table, and at this moment, a female official entered: "Your Majesty, the Shengshang and the Wagang Army fought a battle, the Wagang Army was defeated, Li Mi's main camp was broken in one day, the 500,000 army suddenly collapsed, and Xingluocang was recaptured by the Shengshang. ”
Yang Xuanning stood up suddenly, unconsciously, his whole body was carried up, and suddenly, the female officer quickly ran to inhale and gasp, and even Li Bo inhaled and made a strange sound, all of which were collected into his ears without leakage, and he suddenly focused on the female officer, and the other scenes suddenly became blurred, only all the movements and expressions of this female official were visible at all.
"What, really?" said his voice, trembling slightly.
"Exactly, the specific urgent report is here, and I also ask the king to read it. ”
Yang Xuanning hurriedly stepped forward, in just a few steps, almost slipped, grabbed the emergency report with one hand, immediately looked at it, read it several times, he suddenly threw the emergency report, ran outside, looked at the sky, and laughed: "God help me, my great cause is successful, my great cause is successful!"
Jumping with joy, almost forgetting.
Li Bo picked up the secret letter and read it a few times, gradually, he also smiled, after several suppressions, he still laughed out loud, the louder he laughed, and finally, he also danced with his own hands: "Heaven blesses, Han Tong Xingye!"
