Fortunately, Li Wei's edict prevented many people from disaster.
What is most popular in Lingxi, horses!
And there are many good horses in it. Since you choose to go to Lingxi, most of them are herding. Who doesn't know how to ride a horse? Adults carry old people, women hold children, get on the horse and run away. There are some who are not good at equestrian skills. There are some grass markets in the rear, where there are some merchants and craftsmen, but it also gives them enough time to escape.
The people were not harmed, but Wang Bo was dumbfounded. Most of the people in Lingxi have been saved, but as for the horses, they are only focused on escaping for their lives at this time. Who will drive the horses back? I don't know how many horses there are. There are 150,000 registered horses, as well as a large number of cattle, sheep, camels, mules, and donkeys. What kind of damage will this alone cause? He quickly wrote a memorial and reported it to Chang'an on a fast horse. Fortunately, in the past few years, several roads leading to Chang'an have been expanded and repaired, and communication with each other is faster than before. []
But I don¡¯t understand that if the Tang Dynasty was so powerful, how could Tubo have the guts to take advantage of it?
Even Qin Ling was forced to do this.
After many years of getting along with each other, I finally realized the little queen mother¡¯s defense skills, especially the peace talks she miraculously brought from the Tang Dynasty. I don¡¯t understand why the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was very diplomatic, agreed to so many conditions for her?
???????????????????? Qinghai didn¡¯t fight, it even agreed to reopen the trade routes and salt roads, and even agreed to get married!
After returning this time, the reputation of the little queen mother was unparalleled.
The power of the military and state continued to be in his hands, but many ministers defected to the Queen Mother, and the older Zamp got, the more people defected. But he couldn't get into an attack yet. The little queen mother was very respectful and polite to him No matter what he wanted to do, he would never object. Even if he didn't agree, he would just say a few words tactfully.
Does he dare to take action?
The Queen Mother treated him like this If she took action, the whole Tubo family would tear him apart!
But the actual suffering can only be known by oneself.
Peace has brought huge benefits to the Tubo people. However, the more peaceful it is, the lower his prestige is. Many people are even saying that his plans are not treacherous. Therefore, he needs a war.
But I have never dared to move In the first few battles, I was not considered a loser. The relative sacrifices of the Tang Dynasty were far more serious than mine. But the country is big, rich, and well-mannered, and Tubo can no longer fight. He had never dared to move It wasn't until Wang Zhu came to Qinghai and caused a great uproar among the people that he felt that he had an opportunity. When fighting a war, we also need to rely on the support of the people. The will of the people is also the key to determining the outcome of a battle. But he still didn't dare to move because he couldn't lose again.
However, another opportunity came, and the Tang Dynasty directed all its elite soldiers towards Frank. If it hadn't been for the envoys from the Tang Dynasty, we would not have known there was such a country in the world. Then they discussed the matter of sending troops to conquer Silla and the Japanese state. It seems that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty focused his attention on the northeast.
Still worried, he sent countless scouts to Qinghai quietly, and then sent countless scouts to sneak into Tang Dynasty. He didn't see anything strange, so he decided to send troops. At this time Tubo has regained its vitality after years of rest and recuperation, and has an economy and army to use.
It¡¯s not that he wants to occupy Qinghai, his goal is the livestock in Lingxi. By taking these livestock back and distributing them to various nobles, he can win their support for him. And the location chosen is a disputed area. As for the consequences of the bow attack, the worst possible outcome is that the remaining troops of Tuyuwang in Qinghai will suffer another injury. What kind of beauty is there? They have been crippled long ago, and now Tubo still expects this remnant? The Tang Dynasty army is coming. Let's run away to the deep mountains and old valleys. That was an internal matter, and it was up to the Queen Mother to clean up the mess. Is it possible that the Tang Dynasty army could attack the Tubo Plateau?
Troops are sent out.
One hundred thousand carefully selected Tubo troops were divided into two groups, one starting from Fuqi City and the other starting from Chihai, and attacked Haibei. Of course, this dispatch of troops was opposed by many people, including the Queen Mother. Very stressful. But now he has gained a lot. Even looking at the Tang Dynasty soldiers and civilians fleeing in panic, he became interested in Lingdong and Hedong. After years of development, it has become a rich and drinking area, and the Tang Dynasty did not levy much tax. The people have accumulated a lot of wealth
But he was not a rough man. While sweeping up the west of the mountain, he also sent a large number of scouts to sneak into the east of the mountain.
Qinghai is in chaos at this time.
Just when Wang Xunli had no master, the guards came in and reported: "Pu Guogong seeks to see."
That is to say, Wang Fangyi was successively promoted to the title of Duke of the County and Duke of the Country due to his military merits. The rewards should not be ambiguous, but they should not be given excessively. In the past ten years, only six people have been promoted to the rank of Duke: Hei Te Changzhi, Wang Fangyi, Li Jinxing, and Qi Xinming. Li Jinxing passed away, that is, he was promoted to the rank of Duke because of military merit. There are only three people left. In the past, some people inherited the title of Duke from their ancestors. Because of Xu Jingye's incident, Li Wei issued an edict stating that anyone who succeeded to the title would be punished by the throne every other generation.A Duke, who was originally a Duke, was reduced to a Duke. A person who was originally a Duke was reduced to a Marquis.
There are only two people who praise civil servants, one is Wei Yuanzhong and the other is Di Renjie. The other is Ashina Michizane, the Dule King in the desert.
"Hey, didn't he go to Frank?" Wang Bo was very surprised.
But no matter what, this clan brother arrived just in time.
Walked in! Wang Fangyi was wearing civilian clothes, including the guards around him, who were all dressed as civilians. Wang Bo was very surprised: "Why are you dressed like this?"
"Don't ask, just ask."
Wang Bo knelt down to receive the imperial edict, and was even more surprised. Not long after he had sent out the memorial to report his emergency, the imperial edict came down. Wang Fangyi read out the imperial edict, which means that Qinghai affairs were replaced by Wang Fangyi.
After reading the imperial edict, Wang Bo asked the question in his mind.
The process is very complicated, and even Wang Fangyi is not clear about some of it. Over the years, Li Wei and the Meulu family have been quietly keeping in touch. Including discussing Qin Ling's mentality and trends. In fact, even the Lu family needed this war. If it continued, Qin Ling might have been forced to do so before his son grew up. Power is not only the human heart, but also military power. Therefore, some cooperation from Li Wei is needed.
Regarding Qinling, Li Wei is also stuck in his throat. In history, almost more than 400,000 Tang Dynasty troops perished in his hands. This person was the most important source of the decline of the Tang Dynasty's military during the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and even further, the Anshi Rebellion.
Without the constraints of Tubo occupying Qinghai, would the Tang Dynasty send elite soldiers and generals to Qinghai and the Western Regions? Then, would Feng Changqing be able to mobilize only some civilians? Even if Li Jing comes, he won't be able to fight with just civilian men.
I am also following the old path in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
How many troops are stationed to defend Qinghai? It¡¯s really impossible not to be stationed. I saw that I had fought several battles with him, using the strongest army, the strongest generals, weapons far more powerful than those in the history of the Tang Dynasty, sufficient economy and preparation meticulous planning, and what people wanted, it was nothing compared to It turns out that several games in history are better than others. But as a result, every battle was a miserable victory. In terms of actual consumption, after every battle, one side surpassed the other side.
"If this person is not eliminated he will always be a trouble in the future." Even Qinghai has no way to recover.
So many arrangements were made, including He Zhong¡¯s ** array, and he even sat back and watched Wang Zhusheng turn Qinghai into a mess.
They sent many brave generals to Frank. For example, Xue Na, Xi Fenglei, Guo Yazhen, Tang Xiujing, Wang Dao, Zhang Zhiyuan, Yang Xuanji, who performed very well in Xiazhou, and Li Kaigu, who stood out in several battles supported by the Khitan people in the Tang Dynasty. They all surpassed Luo Wuzheng and Xin Chengsi. Li Wei was overjoyed and appointed Zhonglang General to serve the imperial court.
It¡¯s about talent there are many wars, and it will eventually become noticeable.
But he didn¡¯t know whether the famous general Li Guangbi would appear again after his change.
¡°These people were all put on Frank horse racing.
But Li Wei had Li Wei¡¯s intentions After the changes in Tubo this year, the death of Qin Ling is no longer harmful. Or how to persuade the Bulu family to come to Chang'an, so that the son can legitimately recognize his ancestor and return to the clan, and also to convince the Tubo people.
The latter is more difficultbut not as dangerous as a military battle.
In terms of military affairs, five years later it was the Japanese prisoners and Silla At that time, the national power was more powerful, and the water conservancy was almost completed. There were only some tail projects or the maintenance of Juntong, which was necessary. Any water conservancy was not necessary. If it is always smooth, sooner or later it will be blocked. There will also be a surplus in the national treasury. He immediately issued an order, saying that if the subjects of my country objected, you should go ahead and fight. We, the Tang Dynasty, would not care about it. If we use some instigating methods, the fight between the two countries would become even more intense.
? Then it will be even more difficult to conquer in five years.
Turning around, it¡¯s Liaodong.
? ? Developing Liaodong will inevitably lead to conflicts with Hanju people. At the end of the vote, Hanju is better, but they are afraid of Blackwater Hanju. The place is colder, the terrain is desolate, and the people are strong. In this regard, Frankland is similar to Liaodong, with cold weather and tall people.
Let these rising stars train soldiers and fight.
This is the most important arrangement. Until the Qing Dynasty, Liaodong was still the Great Northern Wilderness. It must be developed so that all the people can get off their horses and engage in farming and production. Their lives will become better, their character will be loyal, and the court will be easier to manage. In addition, the continuous development of sharp weapons will reduce the threat of cavalry, so the northern Side damage will remove the heaviest wing.
Or the prairie north of Yinshan Mountain, there is no law to rule it.
It will never be possible to stop it. Unless guns and weapons appear, riding horses will be useless. Only then can we be honest. Regarding this, Li Wei really didn't understand why this land,Can we produce the most powerful army in the world one after another? Is it possible that the water and soil are different?
However, the most important people stayed behind. Black Teeth Changzhi, Wang Fangyi, and even the old Qi Xinming were all dispatched this time. However, they all secretly came to Qinghai, Songzhou and Suliang. There is another favorable condition. The establishment of the Military Affairs Supervision Department has indeed cultivated some military talents. They cannot reach the level of Wang Fangyi. However, after several years of military training and some actual combat, they have become qualified middle-level personnel. general.
However, several people did not appear in the same place. Wang Fangyi was in charge of Qinghai affairs, and Heiji Changzhi went to Songzhou, brought some troops, entered the foot of Jishi Mountain, met with the other party ministries, passed through Jiuqu Military City, and blocked the Tibetan rear area. , Qi Xinming led the selected warriors from various countries in the Western Regions, as well as the Tang Dynasty's own elite troops in the Western Regions, and sent troops to Volo It turns out that there is another plan, from Qiemo Road to Wuhai, completely cutting off the retreat of Lun Qinling. But it was rejected, and the trapped beast continued to fight. Once Lun Qinling was pushed into a hurry and this person went crazy, the Tang army would suffer heavy losses. Besides, this time it was a big defeat. Didn't Lu Shi grow up jealous and could he let the opportunity pass?
Qi Xinming's younger brother Qi Xinguang sent troops to Liangzhou, and was also granted the title of Duke of the county due to his merits. The two brothers became public officials, and they were praised by the court.
The other groups mobilized their armies, but Lingdong did not move in order not to disturb Lun Qinling. But it is not that there is no army. Many people in Qinghai serve as civilians in peacetime and as soldiers in wartime. The number of government soldiers organized into the Ministry of War has reached 70,000, not counting those from various party ministries.
Wang Fangyi briefly explained the situation, and then said: "My coming to Qinghai cannot be publicized. On the surface, I still let you continue to preside over it, do you understand?"
It¡¯s like training a child.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of my heart, how can such a person be the prime minister? I'm afraid he is one of the most poorly used candidates in the past ten years of great governance.
He still doesn¡¯t know the relationship between Li Wei and the Meulu family. If there are people who know, they won¡¯t tell them, let alone others.
¡°I didn¡¯t know that his granddaughter was Li Wei¡¯s daughter-in-law. Then it was just a marriage, and he was given the position of prime minister, and that was over.
"Yes." In front of Wang Fangyi, who was both civil and military, Wang Zhu didn't dare to give him any advice.
Lun Qinling was very well prepared, but there was a limitation in intelligence at this time. It was not like picking up after the fact. If something was discovered, it would be known immediately with just one phone call. So I got the first-hand information from Lingdong, so I didn't see the problem.
So he continued to lead his army to sweep away, and the harvest was great. Along the east and west of Qinghai, there were many livestock and wealth every day, and they were constantly marched to Dafei and then to the Tibetan mainland.
Li Wei has long expected these losses, but as long as he kills this person, what's the point?
August came and the war began. The three most outstanding generals in the post-Starlight era of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the three princes, finally fought a fierce battle with Lun Qinling in Lici, Qinghai.
