Chapter 59 Feng Chan's Joke (Part 2)(1/2)
.Chapter 59: Fengshan joke
At sunset, the ancient walls of the ancient city of Yunzhong were shrouded in a dim light, and there was no large desert outside the city. Although it was overgrazed, there were still short grasslands. But in this loneliness and desolation, Yunzhong ancient city seemed solemn and solemn, with a hint of vicissitudes.
It was time to reach the city of Guan, and the center of the rebellion began around this ancient border town, but in the eyes of the storm, all the important members of the Ashid people went out to contact the tribes. In turn, the city was not lost during the rebellion, and therefore was not destroyed by the war.
The city is mostly garrisoned, and many people make a living by commerce. They use specialties from the grassland to exchange large quantities of goods from the Central Plains, making it easy to make a living by making profits. In addition, there are a small number of inns and taverns. In addition, inns and taverns, other shops also arrive at the time of closing.
Alsedheimer, who runs the cloth shop, was about to lock up his silk shop when suddenly a figure stopped him.
He raised his head, a surprise appeared in his eyes, then looked around vigilantly, pulled the person into the store immediately, hurriedly closed the store, sat down and asked, "Where is the master?"
"He's fine, how are you in the city?"
"Like it was like before, it could be more or less implicated. The Tang army is not as good as before." As soon as he changed his words, he asked, "Where is the master?"
"He is in Langshan, but he is no longer here and is preparing to return. I am here this time to ask you for help." The visitor said his future intention.
Li Zhi didn't understand the military and believed that the Turks should be honest when defeating the Turks easily this time. However, he ignored the blind obedience of the people and the people's overall view of the overall situation. As a high ruler, he could clearly know all kinds of news, whether he could fight or not, or he could rebel or not. But where could the people know? Just like the barbarians in the south, they rebelled and surrendered, how many people died. They were weak, loose, and had no responsiveness. However, has the rebellion really calmed down?
This was not the time when the Tang Dynasty army defeated again and again, and every household in the grassland was injured. It was cold and it would not be possible to stop it. After nearly fifty years of stable time, the Turks had recovered their vitality. Although they were defeated, the Tang army killed not many soldiers, and the vitality was not seriously injured.
After Ashidewenbo fled to Langshan, he reflected on the front and back. He summed up many lessons. The defeat was very bad for many reasons. A strategic mistake was that he was a nation on the grassland and a nation on horseback. If he could beat him, he would fight. If he couldn't beat him, he would flee to the depths of the desert. This was a tactic of playing to his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses. However, he was too hearted and leaning on Black Mountain, wanting to fight to the death with the Tang army. He took the initiative to give up his strengths and chose to fight against the Tang army. As a result, he made people dizzy with a bag of fire.
Ten thousand people fought a decisive battle, another wrong decision. I lost badly at that time, but I didn't expect that it was not very right afterwards. Nearly half of the people inside were not real Han people. Thinking back, I knew they were Dangxiang people. After that, I realized that they were Dangxiang people. Although they met the troops of the Tang Dynasty, although their soldiers were brave, they lacked practical experience, so they were defeated so miserably. In fact, the Tang Dynasty army did not have such strong combat power. On the contrary, the combat power was indeed declining as I expected, otherwise 300,000 Tang Dynasty troops would not be dispatched to deal with him.
In the past, whether it was Tuli, Jieli Khan, or the Xueyantuo tribe of Tiel, the Tang Dynasty would have dispatched so many troops?
That's true? Without Huoyà and Dangxiang soldiers, Pei Xingjian would not have defeated them?
I thought I had figured it out, and I was treated with some small rolling eyes from the Geluo people in Langshan. The Geluo people were worried that what if I let the Tang Dynasty know after taking it in? If this continues, it will not be a long-term solution, and I will be rebellious. But this replay is smarter. If you can fight, you will fight. If you can’t fight, you will run deep into the desert. The desert is so big, where can you find a small army? It is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to concentrate 300,000 troops every moment to guard itself. No matter how rich or there are, you can’t stand it.
So he sent an envoy to Tubo and the Western Turks to see if he could find the powerful subordinates of Ashinaduzhi and Li Zhefu, and rebel again. Although the Tang Dynasty was powerful, it could not resist the many wolves. You can chew and I chew. The Tang Dynasty had to accept that our Turks had risen again. We had to unite, let go of prejudice, and work together. We sent an envoy to Tubo. We responded to your proposal and rebelled, but you Tubo also had to take action. Is Qinghai so miserable that you don't want to recover?
He sent some important confidants under his command to secretly contact each other again. However, the results were not great. All the twenty-four states rebelled, and once the rebel forces reached hundreds of thousands. He and the two of them called the 400,000 army, which was exaggerated. However, the total number of rebels also reached more than 200,000 troops. He lost immediately, and he was not as the leader of Ashina's capable people, so many tribes expressed silence.
So he came up with another plan.
To sum up again, the Turks mainly did not obtain a truly great victory from the front battlefield and lacked confidence. Hundreds of thousands of Tang Dynasty troops could not deal with it, so they focused their eyes on the ancient city of Yunzhong, Cheng Wutin, the Tang Dynasty garrison.
There are few people and are easy to defeat. In order to prevent the Turkic tribes, Yunzhong Ancient City has concentrated a lot of food, grass, weapons and supplies. Moreover, Yunzhong Ancient City is an important city on the south side of Yin Mountain, and the significance of taking over is also great. This sent his important confidant and general Ashinagudulu to sneak back to Yunzhong Ancient City to seek response from the people in the city.
After listening to Gu Dulu's words, Alsedheimer said: "General Gu Dulu, it may not be easy. I don't know much about marching and fighting. But watching this general in the Tang Dynasty's strict military governance is not easy to do with him."
"So no matter how rigorous he is, he has never fought in Qinghai, and there are few soldiers."
It seems to be true that the Tang Dynasty's army can do nothing more than the soldiers of Qinghai. It was originally a fierce young man from all over the world who went to Qinghai. After more than a year of continuous battle training, his strength was still within his own tribe. However, Qinghai only had tens of thousands of troops, and his head contacted the Tubo people. The Tang Dynasty's army had to guard against it. In this way, there is still hope of restoring the country...
So he said again: "Okay, I will do my best."
After talking about the serious matter, drinking and talking about the restoration of his homeland, Asano Gudulu was also a dream in his heart. Thinking of the difficulties over the past year, he couldn't help but drink too much and sang with his low and hoarse voice:
"Tang Dynasty people, you attack the Khitans from the south, you attack me from the east, Tiel people, and attack from the north to simulate the enemy's mouth.
...We asked ten arrows to send troops to the Western Turks, and we also sent troops. We followed them, crossed the Pearl River, crossed the Holy Mountain in the sky, and we all reached Iron.
...You can take that road, so I told Khan, I asked the army to set off, we crossed the river, a very famous song by the Turks, seen in the Tungyu Valley Monument."
At least now, the road to restoration is very long and far. The Tang Dynasty supported the weapons of the Uighurs. This was an extraordinary event. It had a great impact on the grassland and Gu Dulu could not know. The Khitan and the Xi tribe recurred, and then Tang Xiujing was in a mess. He immediately surrendered and changed the direction of the wind.
There is not much hope for success in restoring the country.
The only benefit is that Wen Bo can do something about this matter. The Tielite people have a feud with the Turks. Today, the Tang Dynasty strongly supports the Tielite tribes, especially the mortal enemy, the Uighur tribe. If you don’t rebel, you can’t think of a good life in the future, and it really makes some tribes ready to move again.
After only a few months of calm, the violence started again.
However, the singing and dancing in Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty were completely unaware of it.
...
After bringing two cups of iced sour plum soup, Zheng Gongchu walked in carefully.
"Ice just taken from the ice cellar, Your Majesty, Wanyi, have a drink to relieve the heat."
This scared Li Wei, Zheng Gongchu didn't dare to speak. But after living in the Eastern Palace for a while, he knew some of Li Wei's rules, but he was not stupid. In seemingly fair, Li Wei still favored him a little, such as Bier and his cousin Guan Wan'er, who was extremely angry with him, who was only one year older than him.
The former is a relationship that grew up since childhood, while the latter is amazing.
If they dare not think that their status is low, they will be lazy.
Li Wei put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Put it down, Chu'er, I have something to say to you."
"Your Majesty, please give me instructions."
"Don't be so restrictive. I don't blame you for this matter. After all, you are still young and don't know the sinisterness of human kindness. I have never been evil with your big families. Everyone cooperates to make this country stronger and your families can enjoy the national stability and peace for a long time, and the opportunities brought by your families are the cooperation, and there must be some concerns. But it doesn't matter... But you have entered the Eastern Palace and will be the master of the harem in the future, so you have to think about me. Once you think about your family, not only your family, but your families have their surnames and marriages, and the relationship is complicated, and one family can often represent several families. Then it will not only hinder some of my plans, but will not only make the gains worth the loss, but will also interfere with the peace in the harem. This is something I can't tolerate."
"yes."
"After sitting, you are still young after all, and you don't know. You are not afraid of making mistakes. The key is to know your mistakes and be able to correct them."
It was quiet, not like her xin style.
Li Wei smiled again and said, "I have been to the East Palace for a long time. Are you used to it?"
"I'm used to it."
"Good habits," Li Wei said with a smile again.
But Zheng Gongchu changed his mind and said, "It was because His Majesty was angry and scared me."
"Haha," Li Wei laughed.
This is a real girl from a noble family with elegant and generous behavior, but she is a person after all. After the time of her birth, despite her good family background, she may not be able to understand all the human relationships and world affairs. It is possible that the Zheng family had instructed her, but her ideas were not yet mature. Unlike Guan Wan'er, she grew up in the deep palace since she was a child and grew up in a dangerous environment when she was young, so she has a lot of thoughts. The Eastern Palace that Zheng Gongchu saw was only the tip of the iceberg of the harem. Under his own suppression, the Eastern Palace was not like a normal harem, dark and heavy. Everyone was at least maintaining a surface harmony... But how much could it be maintained? Li Wei himself was doubting.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Where are you here? Go to the Sifang Pavilion to call the envoys of the Aval people and the Principal of Satsuma to see you."
The first envoy to be valued this time was the Byzantines, who had to use the Byzantines to restrain the expansion of the great cannibals. As long as the Byzantines were entangled with the great cannibals, it was difficult to decide the winner and the big cannibals would not really expand into the Hezhong area. If they were done properly and they could become a fight between two tigers, they would have a bad ending. Then the influence of the Tang Dynasty could have truly reached the Persian Gulf.
It just made him feel regretful that he was not very good at science and remembered that he didn't have much knowledge, otherwise he could exploit oil in advance. Therefore, the meaning of the preservation was only to keep the safety of the Hezhong area. At most, it may be possible to seize the Paozha Province area...
The second is the Aval people.
The Principality of Satsuma has developed to this day, and its strength is already among the Aval people, but they are actively assimilating to Europe and showing goodwill with Byzantium and the Catholic Church. It is possible that they will become barbarians and disrupt Europe. However, they also paid a little attention.
How to say, their bloodline is still flowing with Asian nomadic peoples, and they can make relationships.
But the Aval people attach great importance to it and want to resolve the threat to Europe's future in advance is a good opportunity. Byzantium has begun to fall, and the future of Europe is the originator of Germany, France and Italy, and even civilized Britain and Spain.
But he didn't remember this European history clearly, otherwise he would pay attention to another barbarian, Slav, and the future Slavs had a great influence.
I have been summoned three or four times during this period.
In order to win over, Li Wei did not hesitate to start with the ancestral bloodline, but he almost said that we were a family five hundred years ago. The bloodline of this Xianbei people still has many functions. For example, with this bloodline, it can integrate the Dangxiang people and the current big layout.
He was confused and flattered by these messengers, regardless of east, west, south, north and north.
It was also going to do it. My father was preparing to discuss the Fengshan matter again. Regardless of whether it could be enfeoffed, most of these envoys would return to their hometown. Zheng Gongchu pinched the corner of his clothes and just laughed softly.
"Do you think I'm talking unpretentiously?"
"No," obviously means being verbally wrong.
"I am the head of a country, and I am considering the long-term development and future of the country and the people. Politics is like marching and fighting, with both righteousness and strangeness as the main one, with both righteousness as the main one and strangeness as the auxiliary one. Some things should be a little more sleek and flexible, and I don't want that false reputation. Just like your big families, you also need reputation, but sometimes you will put down your body when you have the interests of your family... These two are the same truth."
"yes."
After talking for a while, the envoys from both countries arrived.
While discussing, the eunuch came over to Yanggong and called him to go over and discuss matters.
Come to Yang Palace.
It is a stack of military newspapers, but good news.
Ashdewinbo thought hard for a long time and decided to open a breakthrough from the ancient city of Yunzhong. But he met a powerful opponent. When July arrived, he once again led soldiers of various tribes to surround the ancient city of Yunzhong. The troops were in chaos. Later, even Cheng Wutin didn't know how many troops there were in the rebels.
But there are also many rebels who can surround the ancient city of Yunzhong.
However, Cheng Wutin calmly responded to the challenge and sent someone to notify the governor of Daizhou Dou Huaizhe. Then, before Alsedheimer and others made internal and external cooperation, they decisively arrested all the tribesmen left in the city, tried one by one, and executed them quickly.
This is also a common policy of the Tang Dynasty, targeting the customs of the Turks. The Turks had just transitioned from slavery to feudal system, and the phenomenon of people's ranks and inferiority is more serious than that of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, they can kill the people, but do not kill their chiefs at will.
Without internal support, Ashde Wenbo and the rebel generals felt guilty. At this time, Dou Huaizhe led his army to come, and Cheng Wutin opened the city, which in turn became a trend of internal response and external cooperation. Moreover, the remaining Tang army was also very powerful and defeated the rebels. Ashde Wenbo had to lead the remaining troops to escape to the desert.
He became smarter. He could fight if he could beat him, but he would run away immediately if he couldn't beat him. When he arrived in the desert, where could he find a remnant army? Even if he fled to Langshan, the Tang Dynasty had learned the inside story after a long time.
After Li Wei saw it, Li Zhi smiled and said, "Honger, what do you think of this matter?"
"My son doesn't know." The father wanted to make a move and build a career, but Li Wei took the initiative to avoid it.
"Although I am not as good as you in military terms, I am just a group of clowns who want to be arrogant?"
Li Wei did not say anything. He and Pei Xingjian both believed that the Turks had been resting for so many years, and this rebellion was a big deal. Therefore, they were very cautious. I don’t know if my father’s words were out of the way, and I think he and Pei Xingjian were making a big deal.
After Li Zhi finished speaking, he did not take it seriously. He regarded it as a small rebellion by the various officials in the south. Moreover, the Turks were easily defeated by the Tang army again and again. Doesn’t it also demonstrate the strength of the Tang army? He also said: “August is coming, and the weather is good. Honger, what do you think about the Fengshan incident that I mentioned?”
"Father, my sons don't know, I will listen to my father as the master."
"What about your opinions?"
I didn't agree very much, but the main prime ministers, Pei Yan and Xue Yuanchao, were on the side of the two saints, and could not refute them, so I had to look left and talk about him. Liu Rengui and Li Yiyan were very opposed in their hearts, but the Emperor supported the emperor to build a navy and redeemed the troops. Jā Easy to complete, and paid the money first and asked the emperor to ship the goods. So I couldn't make a sound.
Cui Zhiwen secretly showed kindness to Li Wei, but he maintained a neutral image on the surface, lowered his head and said nothing.
However, Wei Tongxuan said anxiously: "I think it is not appropriate. Once a Fengshan period is exhausted, life and money will be damaged, and it will not be of much benefit to the country..."
To be continued...
