When the winter sunshine of the second year of Zhenguan came, Zhang Yang, who had stayed in bed lazily until almost noon, finally got up.
After more than half a month of recuperation, the leisurely winter days are finally over, and the busy days are coming.
Marriage, this sacred moment, is finally coming, which makes Zhang Yang both nervous and excited.
It has been more than a year, almost two years, since I came to Datang. Such a long bachelor career has made Zhang Yang extremely rich in night life for later generations. It is already quite uncomfortable to endure it until now.
In two days, he will no longer have to be his virgin in this era and live a happy life.
However, Zhang Yang thought that in just over a year, in this era where family background was important, he had gone from being a white man to being a fourth-grade official, a pro-Xunyi Wei Yulin Zhonglang, a general, and a doctor. It can only be described as extremely fast.
With his speed of promotion, if it were applied to ordinary people, it would have aroused dissatisfaction among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.
Not to mention other people, Wei Zheng alone cannot pass the test. Otherwise, why should Wei Zheng, a remonstrating official, be embarrassed? The first purpose of asking him to serve as an official in the court is to cause Li Shimin trouble and prevent Li Shimin from doing whatever he wants. matter.
Otherwise, Wei Zheng will not be known for his dare to say, and he is the most prestigious minister in the history of Huaxia.
However, if this speed of promotion is applied to Zhang Yang, even if there is criticism, it will only be the envy and jealousy of others, and it will not have a big impact on Zhang Yang's promotion. He was on call in just over a year. He has made great achievements many times!
On that day, Hou Junji led his army to aid Xiaoguan. After several battles with the 200,000 southward troops led by Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan of the Eastern Turks until dawn, it was confirmed that the Turks' southward plan was complete. Failed.
After a night's rest, Xiao Guan's energy can be said to have been restored, and he once again burst out with vigorous vitality and vigor.
Facing the danger of being attacked from two sides by the Tang Army, the two highest leaders of the Eastern Turks, Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan. The conflict between the two finally broke out early, which made the Turkic army, which already numbered less than 200,000, suddenly faced internal and external troubles.
As the two highest leaders of the Eastern Turks, Jieli Khan and Turli Khan. Since Jieli Khan ascended the throne and became the supreme leader of the entire East Turkestan, frictions between the two have occurred from time to time.
If it weren't for the fact that Tuli Khan's strength was much inferior to that of Jieli Khan, Jieli Khan could secure his position as the Great Khan of the East Turks, leaving Tuli Khan just If you want to cause some trouble for him, don't dare to confront him blatantly.
So over the years, although Jieli Khan repeatedly led his troops south to the border with the Tang Dynasty, burning, killing, looting, and attacking cities and plundering land.
But these things have nothing to do with Tuli Khan. That's because Jieli Khan wanted to suppress the power of Tuli Khan and let other tribes in the East Turks know how powerful Jieli Khan was, so he allowed him to go south to eat alone many times.
However, this method is very effective. Over the years, Jieli Khan's behavior of going south to the Kou border and eating alone has greatly increased his prestige among the Eastern Turkic tribes, and he has won over many tribes who originally supported Tuli Khan. Turn around and join his army.
At the same time, through plundering the borders of the Tang Dynasty over the years, he harvested a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, grain, grass and weapons. At the same time, they also plundered and sent a large number of Han people to the Turks. Let his population and strength increase greatly.
He became more and more arrogant, which also made Tuli Khan even less powerful to fight against him.
As for this plan to go south to the Tang Dynasty, Tuli Khan did not want to participate in it, nor did he support the initiative of the Khan.
Because whether it succeeds or fails, it will not benefit him Tuli Khan. If he succeeds, Jieli Khan will become famous and his prestige will reach a higher level. Then Tuli Khan will be even more unable to shake Jieli Khan in the future. status.
The entire Eastern Turks will eventually be unified by Jieli Khan, and his Tuli Khan will no longer have any status at all.
As for failure, it goes without saying. Once they fail, they will face endless revenge from the Tang Dynasty.
In the end, whether we can safely return alive from the territory of Datang will become a very real problem.
However, facing the powerful Jieli Khan, Tuli Khan finally chose to compromise and was forced to participate in the southward war.
Fortunately, now, the Tang army has blocked Xiaoguan from both ends. Between the valleys on both sides, there is a long and narrow plain area. It is impossible to advance or retreat. The chance of survival is quite slim. This has caused many conflicts with Jieli Khan. The Tuli Khan immediately did not dare.
So in order to survive as a prerequisite, he was surrounded by the Tang army.The more than 100,000 Turkic troops marching south outside Xiaoguan launched the most ferocious offensive in history against the tens of thousands of cavalry led by Hou Junji, intending to break through and retreat back to the prairie.
Unfortunately, things backfired. Just when the Turkic army launched a breakout battle against the Tang army, Qin Shubao had already led the remaining tens of thousands of troops to arrive, formally joined Hou Junji, and built a strong defense line at the mouth of the valley.
Although it is said that the mourning soldiers will win, in the face of the experienced, martial arts and brave Qin Shubao, the breakout operation launched by Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan with the belief of death was still organized by Qin Shubao and others. Tang Jun stopped him.
Their plan to break out of the encirclement was ultimately in vain, and they were trapped in the valley by the Tang Army's hundreds of thousands of troops, unable to move.
And the daily consumption of food and grass for these hundreds of thousands of troops is also an astronomical figure. When Jieli Khan went south, he originally planned to catch the Tang Dynasty by surprise, so he did not prepare a long time of food and grass, and planned to plunder the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, in order to ensure the suddenness of this plan and to invade the heart of the Tang Dynasty without attracting the attention of the Tang army, reducing the losses of the troops and expanding the results, the Turkic army did not plunder too much food and grass along the way.
Just make sure you have enough for a few days, so after the two or three days of the battle in Xiaoguan, the entire Turkic army has very little food and grass left, which makes the already disorganized Turkic army. The military is even more demoralized.
In the end, in order to survive. In the end, Tuli Khan took the lead in the rebellion, kidnapped Jieli Khan, and sued for peace with the Tang Dynasty.
So this mighty Xiaoguan war ended with the Turks suing for peace.
Just when the Tang Dynasty and the Turks were arguing with each other about seeking peace.
The other 100,000-strong army heading north led by Yuchi Jingde also followed another subsidiary plan designed by Zhang Yang during the battle with the Turkic army heading south, in just over ten days. Yuchi Jingde led an army of 100,000, with the cooperation of another army led by Chai Shao in a two-pronged approach.
Attacking cities and plundering territory along the way, they defeated the last princes of the Tang Dynasty, Liang Shi, with overwhelming force, and finally completed the unification of the Tang Dynasty.
And when the news that the Tang Dynasty pacified Liang Shidu reached the ears of Turk Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan. The two people who were still bargaining with Datang about the peace issue were finally shocked by the news and agreed to Datang's request.
??Using the 200,000 southward troops led by Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan as a bargaining chip, the remaining less than 150,000 troops were used as bargaining chips.
In exchange, the 250,000 people of the Eastern Turks who had been plundered by the Turks over the years, including 150,000 young adults and 100,000 women and children. As for the elderly, almost all of them died in the Turks due to the brutality of the Turks. The prairie.
that's all. This war, in which the two sides mobilized more than 350,000 troops, ended with the Turks suing for peace and compensating a large number of Han people in the Tang Dynasty. After the war, the Eastern Turks were unable to move south for several years.
Coupled with the heavy snowstorm this winter, it is even worse, making the situation of East Turkestan extremely miserable.
In the end, Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan accumulated huge conflicts during the battle south. Finally, a large-scale war broke out between the two men and their tribes, ending with hundreds of thousands of casualties on both sides.
But this also made Tuli Khan, who had always wanted to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, determined to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
This made Li Shimin extremely happy. For the important minister who made Tuli Khan surrender to the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Yang naturally gave him a lot of rewards. In addition to being promoted to the fourth rank of Zhengxun Yiwei Yulin Zhonglang General and Zhongdafu.
He was also rewarded with a hundred hectares of fertile land, fifty silks, five hundred golds, ten squares of fine jade, twenty servants, ten maids, and the title of earl.
This makes countless people envious and jealous. There is a saying in the whole city of Chang'an, and even in the entire Tang Dynasty: to have a son is like Zhang Meilang, who is as talented as Zhang Meiliang, has a wealth of knowledge, is proficient in bow and horse, is proficient in the art of war, and is both wise and brave!
This is going to bring Zhang Yang to the heavens. Of course, the reward for killing the Astrid Grass Mud Horse is enough for Zhang Yang to move up the tower, but Zhang Yang still believes that this tree will be destroyed by Lin Feng. know.
He must not be able to enjoy the benefits alone, so although Zhang Yang killed the Astrid grass mud horse in a single fight, Zhang Yang still shared the credit among his generals when he listed the merits.
So Zhang Yang's 'Goshawk' team rushed down to the generals. It can be said that they have risen to the top. No one was promoted at least one level and became the chief general of the first government. However, most of them followed Zhang Yang into the Forbidden Army. Continue to serve under Zhang Yang.
And Du Gou, Fang Yizhi, and Changsun Chong, who had followed Zhang Yang out to make soy sauce,Hou Zanjun, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Huaimo, Yuchi Baolin and others all received many rewards after returning to Beijing, and it can be said that they took office in advance.
It can be said that one person has attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven.
And in the second year of Zhenguan, the most important day for Zhang Yang finally arrived.
After a busy day, Zhang Yang finally sent away all the guests, and now it was time for him and Li Mingyu to have some private time.
Zhang Yang gently blew out the candles on the table and said to Li Mingyu, "Madam, I'm here!"
So Zhang Yang swooped up and landed on Li Mingyu, who was already lying on the bed.
They kissed each other and started to take off their clothes. Just when he was about to go further, someone suddenly slapped Zhang Yang on the shoulder and said, "Zhang Yang, what are you daydreaming about here? Look at your saliva." It¡¯s all leaked out. Did you just dream of dating Zhou Gong¡¯s daughter? Hahaha, I look at you and you are a pervert. Okay, let¡¯s go and meet the director for an interview!¡±
Zhang Yang, who had just woken up with a fright, was about to curse. Now he was about to achieve something good. If someone did this, he might have psychological consequences in the future. Wouldn't this ruin a person's life?
But when he heard that he was going to meet the director for an interview, Zhang Yang didn't care. He was looking for trouble with the man just now. He got up to wash up and prepare for the interview. However, on the way there, Zhang Yang was still thinking about the dream last night. It¡¯s too real!
The whole book is finished! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! (To be continued!~!
