Chapter 122: Li Shimin conferred the head

、、、、、、、

Hanzhong

"Boom!"

Another wall collapsed under the attack of the sassal wood, and the debris and dust flew up.

The fire was blazing and reaching into the sky.

The Yang Tang army that was besieging the city, just like the ant tide, rushed straight to the gap.

Yang Xuanning was silent.

It has been five days since the siege of the city, and there have been 20,000 Yang Tang troops under the city, but the city is almost close to running out of oil and lamps, before today's siege, Yang Xuanning personally surrendered to Li Xiaogong, but was resolutely rejected by Li Xiaogong.

"The city is broken!" The sound of killing and crying in the city was deafening, and the fires were everywhere, and the people of Hanzhong, who had been fighting and had been transporting fire, oil, wood and stone, finally began to flee in all directions, but Li Tang's soldiers, under the leadership of Li Xiaogong, desperately launched a more fierce resistance.

In the gap, repeated battles, above and below the city, countless corpses were ambushed and rivers of blood flowed.

A Yang Tang thousand-person team, under the leadership of the first general, even went straight to the gap and landed in the inner city, but Li Xiaogong, personally led the master, with the spirit of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, since the anti-encirclement, the two sides all fought and did not retreat, and the Yang Tang army behind could not respond, so this thousand-person team, in front of everyone's eyes, all of them did not fight, but the death of the battle, no one retreated and was chaotic, for the general, it was the last battle to the death, and he killed more than 20 people.

Faced with this situation, Yang Xuanning frowned slightly and asked, "Who is this?"

The attendant cautiously replied, "Defeat the commander Wu Cheng." ”

Yang Xuanning said: "It's a pity, the mercy of his family has doubled his family's reward and given the word loyalty and bravery." ”

"Obey. ”

However, this is meaningless after all, Li Xiaogong successfully counterattacked, and his surrounding personal soldiers were also broken by one-third, under the military order, the Yang Tang army of tens of thousands of troops did not care about this casualty at all.

The edifice will fall. It was difficult to support alone, and in this battle, in the afternoon, most of the Li Tang army that resisted in the city had been wiped out, and the rest retreated into the city for street fighting.

Because there are many Li Tang masters left. The battle lasted until dusk, and the city had not yet been cleared, and the commanding general Li Jing had to come in person to ask for guilt.

Yang Xuanning heard the news, under the heavy protection of the pro-guard armor. On a wall that had been cleaned up, he condescendedly observed for a long time, and said: "The general has merit in breaking the city, what is the crime." These are all people who have died of Li Valve, and I regard them as fulfillment. From the moment on. If there is no surrender, the general can light the fire and order the army to besiege it, and not let anyone go!"

Li Jing shouted loudly, if he has fought to this point, he still does not surrender, it is Li Valve's dead lineage, and naturally he cannot stay. This will is normal.

Since ancient times, there have been many people who have been surrendered, but this kind of person has never been among those who have been surrendered.

There was not much time, and the torches were lit. The Great War continued, descending from the sky. The entire Hanzhong was shrouded in the sky-high fire, and the Yang and Tang armies formed formations and checked them one by one.

Until the early morning of the next day, the city was all cleared, Li Xiaogong could not break through, and there were more than 60 wounds in his body.

When Yang Xuanning heard the news, he was silent, and then ordered a thick burial.

Hanzhong is peaceful, all the Yang and Tang Dynasty war dead, must be counted one by one, record the name and iron plate, ordinary soldiers, buried on the spot, and more than 100 people, must prepare coffins, by their subordinates to the family burial.

In the battle of Hanzhong, 11,000 people were killed and 38,000 were wounded, but in fact, in the end, 150,000 people had already lost 50,000, and they immediately settled in the city and cleaned up the place.

Under Hanzhong, the whole Bashu and the south are connected, and a large number of materials and troops are carried out along the land and water.

However, even if Yang Xuanning wants to cultivate, of course, he will not give Li Valve a chance to breathe, and orders Li Jing to lead 30,000 troops to rush into Guanzhong, not only cutting off the back road of Li Shimin's army, but also threatening Chang'an at the same time.

"The monks and soldiers rebelled, Li Shimin gave the head, and the king of Zhennan was still purging the remaining rebellion, and he would come back to face the saint in the near future. ”

The news came, but it was already fifteen days later.

At this time, the newly built Loyal Martyrs City God's Hall has been completed: "I built the City God, in order to observe the good and evil of the people and the blessings and misfortunes, so that the good will not be spared, so that the good have sacrifices, the evil have the law, people should be afraid and dare not act rashly." ”

Basically, a system has been formed to build a land temple in the township, build a city god in the county government, and build a temple of the earth in the big city.

City God's Palace, set up Valhalla, the battle dead spirit cards are listed in it, every year in the New Year and Qingming, all by the local county order, Taishou come forward, personally sacrificed.

To put it bluntly, this is indeed modeled after the shrine in Japan in the future, which will include the dead in the sacrifice and be immortalized in peace

My hero, his enemy

The hero of the enemy, the enemy of mine

No matter how much the Chinese hate in later generations, for the Japanese, they are all heroes who died fighting for their country

Instead of hating Yasujinja, it is better to destroy the enemy's national fortune, and it is better to sacrifice your own heroes

On the same day, it was also after the sacrifice, the new hall was first built, and the ten thousand spirit cards were sacrificed, and the emperor came to incense in person, and when he heard the news, Yang Xuanning was in the apse.

After knowing the news, Yang Xuanning was speechless for a long time

After the temple, there is a garden, Yang Xuanning's thoughts have influenced the temple model of this world, in Yang Xuanning's view, the temple is not only a sacred place, but also a place of rest, so there is a corridor behind it, and the sun shines in this quiet back garden.

The Emperor walked along the way, looking up at the rockeries and the tenacious vegetation growing among the stones, and when he turned a courtyard and saw a new lake, suddenly tears splashed.

The attendants looked at each other, no one dared to speak, and they were cautious until the emperor ordered them to retreat, and hurriedly retreated to a distance of more than ten zhang, not daring to approach

The sound of water flowing faintly came from the distance on the small pavilion, Yang Xuanning lifted the wine jug, filled two glasses, picked up one by himself, put the other cup on the opposite side, prayed silently for a moment, and then, drank all the cups

Good brew into the throat. The wine has a mellow flavor and a rich and harmonious aroma.

Yang Xuanning said: "Brother Shimin, please take a seat, this wine is good!"

Pour another glass, drink it all in one gulp, and say, "I came to this world with my heart set you as my goal, how many nights. I have been thinking hard about how to eliminate your dragon power, how to seize your qi, and how to cultivate my great luck!"

said, full of remembrance: "I am in the original world. I once read the legend of the Galactic Heroes, in which the emperor Reinhardt was moved after learning about Yang Willy's death letter. ”

"He said, "I have heard bad news from you countless times, and this one is the most difficult for me to accept. Who allowed you the right to disappoint me so much?"

"Now I understand how I feel, but I'm not Reinhardt after all. It's not Willy Yang either, although I also want to surrender to you, or let you go. In the years to come, I can continue to fight with each other with wisdom and strategy, and even build the world together, but I think about it repeatedly, it is still the king of Xu Zhizhen Nan who has full authority over the matter. ”

"I don't have enough strength and mind to allow you to retreat to the Turks and make me an enemy, and I don't want to completely characterize you as a rebel against the country. Traitor of the clan, the world has reached this point, there is no way back, I can only act like this. ”

"However, don't worry, Brother Shimin. I will not kill your family to kill you, and I will rule the world. If you want to create a prosperous world that is far better than yours, how can you not even have this little energy?"

After saying that, he poured the third cup, drank it all, and then threw it straight into the lake, turned around and left, and without looking back, he stepped straight out of this door, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart.

That's blank, that's calm, that's the peace of all the palms, for a moment, there is no confusion and hesitation.

Outside the city of Hanzhong, there is an ancient temple quiet room, and one person looks up.

This person, the gray monk's robe is draped in a dark brown robe, the figure is tall and straight, the forehead is high and broad, the eyebrows are black and shiny, the face is slender, and the eyes are shining with wisdom.

"Master of Wisdom, I don't know what you see?" In the simple stone room, there was nothing but two cushions.

The concubine sat cross-legged on one of the cushions, her eyes flashing with excitement, staring at the holy monk.

"The green dragon is broken, the white dragon is taking off, the world has been decided, and there is nothing to change. The wisdom master said this, but his emotions did not fluctuate in the slightest, only when he saw her, he showed a hint of love: "Does Concubine Xuan still insist on entering the palace?"

The concubine sighed faintly, at this time, she had lost all her martial arts, and there was no longer a little true qi in it, but the color of the dust became more and more obvious, in her life, it seemed that the world had become a peaceful and peaceful Zen realm: "There is no choice, on that day, although I ordered the monks and soldiers to rebel, but I wanted Li Shimin to break through, I didn't want to fail, although there are no clues about this, but I may not really know." ”

The wisdom master's expression turned pale, without the slightest emotion of the world, and said: "On that day, with Song Que and Shi Zhixuan here, Li Shimin was defeated and died, and it was already difficult to avoid it. It's a pity that Concubine Xuan, Concubine Xuan has great wisdom and great swordsmanship, and is expected to break through the peak, but only so. ”

The concubine said lightly: "What is the matter with my mere body, but what should I do in the future? The Buddha has been in China for 300 years, and it is only after I have such a foundation, if the world deceives me, insults me, laughs at me, despises me, and despises me, how to deal with it?"

"All the ways of doing things are like dreams, shadows, dew, and electricity, as long as you endure him, let him, avoid him, let him, bear with him, ignore him, and in a few years, you will look at him!" After the wisdom master finished speaking, he smiled slightly and said: "The world is impermanent, and the flowers of the twin trees are withering, in this world, who can live for a long time?"

"Although the mandate of heaven has changed, but the green dragon spirit has not yet ended, Li Shimin has a son born this year, born in the Chengqian Palace, named Chengqian, we have taken it away, waiting for later. ”

Concubine Xuan replied to Tian Ran, and said leisurely: "This is the best, Concubine Xuan will not ask about this matter in the future." ”

The master of wisdom smiled as quietly as water: "Concubine Xuan Guo has a great wisdom root. ”

The two exchanged glances, closed their eyes at the same time, and entered the realm of meditation.

As soon as Hanzhong was broken, Li Shimin died, and the elite of the entourage was broken, Li Jing cut off the back road, and the news reached Guanzhong, and the nearby counties were shaken, and suddenly, Li Tangjun, who was fighting in Tongguan, although it was not ready to surrender immediately, but its morale plummeted.

At this time, at the beginning of July, the Luoyang cabinet

The ministers were in the office, and Li Bo was at this time. In fact, he is over fifty years old, dressed as a prime minister, compared with that day, he still has that gentle and calm demeanor, but he has a little more politeness and politeness, and he looks quite calm and happy in front of the cabinet ministers: "Your Majesty is going this time." It's really smooth, and sure enough, the true son of heaven is invincible. ”

Of course, there is some deep meaning in these words, but there is no need to say more at this time.

"Hanzhong has been obtained, is Tongguan urging it?" Li Baiyao said for a moment, suddenly. Everyone at the venue looked at it.

Li Bo knew in his heart that now because of the victory in Hanzhong, a gap had been opened in Guanzhong, and there was naturally an opinion in the court to seek urgent progress, and this opinion was still quite marketable. And the words are well-founded---- as long as Tongguan is broken, Guanzhong will naturally be calm.

If it drags on, maybe it will be Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang or Dou Jiande. You have to fight back desperately, after all, everyone understands that once Guanzhong falls, even the last chance to fight for the world will be lost.

Li Bo shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has not changed the will of the plan, and the importance of the matter of Tongguan is also very clear to the general Luo Shixin. Naturally, we are sure that we, as courtiers, have no way to change this. Moreover, the armies and towns could not move the defensive front at all. Ladies and gentlemen, the world is now decided. As long as you are careful and take every step of the way, you can win, so why take a big risk?"

"As auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, as long as we follow Xiao He's example, we have already done our duty to control the country, care for the people, provide military supplies, and provide food and wages. ”

"But why did you let the King of Zhennan lead his troops to attack Longxi?" Wei Zheng couldn't help but say.

Song Que is now the king of Zhennan, but he has not made a great contribution to the imperial court, but it was just the situation at that time, but if he made great achievements and made great achievements, it would be even more difficult to control in the future......

"There are Xue Rengao, Turks, and Li Tangjun in Longxi, and there are 300,000 people, except for the king of Zhennan, who can break it with 60,000 people? As for the rest, Your Majesty has his own considerations. Li Bo said: "Soldiers, grain, grass, and weapons must be transported to Hanzhong at an accelerated pace according to the plan for the purpose of the war." ”

By this time, it was already afternoon, and the sun was shining through the panes, leaving small spots of light.

Hanzhong was taken, Li Jing took 30,000, and Song Que took 60,000, and 50,000 remained in Hanzhong, but half of them were wounded soldiers, and they had to recuperate for a period of time before they could fight.

"Longxi Li Tang Army, the commander is dead, the army is in turmoil, and the back road is cut off, there is no food and grass, when it is easy, Xue Rengao has been fighting for many years, and he is besieged, and it is difficult to hold on, just a Turkic matter?"

"The Turks can't be a big war at this time, so the king of Zhennan went this time, just to recover Longxi, and the Turks can't hold out for too long, it's July at this time, the Turkic horses want to spend the winter, they must reserve grain and grass, and eat land and horse fat, there is not much time left for the Turks, insist on two months, and they will retreat. ”

"Your Majesty's will is to immediately garrison a heavy army in Longxi, and build a horse farm, and in the future, when the army is mature and strong, then divide the level with the Turks. ”

Historically, the horse politics of the Tang Dynasty was prosperous and was the crown of all dynasties.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, 2,000 Turkic horses were obtained, and 3,000 Sui horses were obtained in Chi'anze, and after 20 years, 400,000 horses were obtained, so that the war could be continued.

"Your Majesty has another decree, which is signed by the cabinet, which is to make the people afraid of hardship, and there are many animals and horses, and now Your Majesty's will is to be able to have more than ten horses and livestock to be exempted from post levy, so it can be seen that Your Majesty's ambition, the ministers must not slack off. ”

"I'll understand. ”

In fact, compared to the nomadic people, who lived in the land for water and grass, the inland dynasties could produce more war horses with more advanced stables.

The Song Dynasty did not have horses, not only because of the loss of the land for raising horses, but also because of the dense population, there was no space for raising horses, of course, castration and the degradation of horse breeds, as well as the difficulty of finding good horse breeds, were also problems.

It is said that at that time, even Hu Chong knew to protect the country's resources and strictly banned the export of horses to the Song Dynasty.

As long as you occupy the land of raising horses in Longyou, and raise horses all over the country, there is naturally a steady stream of cavalry, and in the future, even if you are defeated for a while, there is room for you to come again, after all, the Central Plains is unified, and the national strength and manpower are far from being comparable to the nomads on the grassland.

As long as we grasp this, the steppe peoples are actually not troubled, once they fall into the quagmire of war, even if they are not defeated in the war, they are also dragged by the exhaustive war, in history, the Eastern and Western Turks, the Later Turks, Tiele, Xue Yantuo, etc., or the fall or the pursuit of peace and vassals, is not the case.

Yang Xuanning had already had this intention, and of course the ministers understood it, and they all secretly admired Yingming.

The victory of the temple lies in the distance. Datang Volume 2 One Sword Turns to Three Thousand Miles Chapter 122 Li Shimin conferred the head
