    In May, news of the Iron-Blooded Army's conquest of Tubo and Longyou Road began to spread. Many people did not believe that there was such a thing, and some even thought it was nonsense. The Tang Dynasty had lost control of Longyou Road for many years.  , today's Longyou Road is divided between Tubo and Turks, and the four towns of Annan have become a pain in people's hearts.  + The main thing is to conquer Tubo and recover the Longyou Road. There are too many difficulties. Even during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the court spent a lot of money and energy in order to control the Longyou Road and restrict the development of Tubo and Turkic forces.  Nowadays, decline has become synonymous with the Tang Dynasty. At this time, it is not a legend that the iron-blooded army conquered Tubo and regained the Longyou Road.  But the news was quickly confirmed.  The reason is very simple. The envoys of the Tibetan Lhasa royal family have arrived in Chang'an, the capital city, expressing their submission to the imperial court and imploring the imperial court not to continue to attack Luozu. If the imperial court is willing to stop the army, the Lhasa royal family is willing to make offerings to the court every year to express permanent surrender.  .  Secondly, there is Longyou Road. Some merchants from the Central Plains region have business dealings with Longyou Road. When they went to Longyou Road to do business, they found that the four towns in Anxi had actually restored their organizational structure and were guarded by the Iron Blood Army.  This news could not be concealed, and it immediately caused a huge shock in the capital and the north.  After the Tubo envoys arrived in the capital, they realized that turning to the emperor and the court for help was of no use, because it was the iron-blooded army under King Fu and Li Rupei of Daxingtai of Nanfang Road who conquered Tubo.  When the Tubo envoy made his statement to the court, he was shaking all over. He was afraid of the strength of the Tubo army. When the Tubo army faced the Tang army, it had no resistance. Every battle resulted in casualties.  It was so disastrous that they had to surrender in the end.  In fact, when the Tang army first entered Tubo, the four kings of Tubo had a mocking mentality, even though the Tang army was said to be powerful.  However, when they arrived in Tubo and the alpine zone, they were unable to adapt to the environment here, and there were also huge difficulties in the supply of food and grass. Ordinarily, such an attack would be tantamount to seeking death.  But in the first battle against Yucheng City, the Lhasa royal family suffered heavy losses. The general stationed at Yucheng City led three thousand soldiers to fight.  As a result, in this battle, all three thousand sergeants were wiped out, and the generals were also killed. The entire battle did not last long. The Tang army had an absolute advantage in terms of combat effectiveness and was fully able to adapt to the harsh environment of Tubo.  By this time, the four kings in Tubo began to attach great importance to the invading Tang army. Unfortunately, their response was too slow.  The army of the Tang Dynasty had already captured Bowo, Medog and Luowo, and was directly targeting Luoche and the Potala Palace.  In the hearts of the four kings who rule Tubo, Luoche and the Potala Palace are the holy places of Tubo and must not be occupied by the Tang army.  So when the Tang army marched towards Luoche, the four kings united for the first time and each sent heavy troops to Luoche.  Resist the Tang army.  It was during this process that the armies of King Ali and King Yaze suffered heavy losses.  They originally went straight to Luoche for reinforcements, but were ambushed by the Tang Dynasty army and suffered heavy casualties. Very few troops were able to reach Luoche, and after several battles, they were basically unable to sustain themselves.  What's even worse is the Yalong Jue'a Wang clan. Most of their troops are in Longyou Road, distributed around the four towns of Annan, including the original location of the Anxi Protectorate. They suffered a devastating blow from the Tang army, with only a few of them.  The army hurriedly evacuated the four towns of Annan, and most of the army was wiped out. Under such circumstances, the Yalong Jue'a King Clan was unable to send a large army to reinforce Luo Xiang, and they had too much to take care of themselves.  By the end of May, the Tang army had surrounded Luoche. However, the Tang army did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, it waited for Tibetan reinforcements from all walks of life to arrive at Luoche, including some troops that had survived after being defeated.  The whole logic has fallen into a huge panic.  Many nobles in Tubo encountered ruthless killings during the attack by the Tang army. Those who benefited were the slaves that the nobles did not take seriously, and some civilians who supported the Tang army.  At this time, the four kings felt that the situation was not good. No matter how stupid they were, they knew that the Tang army was ready to completely annihilate them, so they quickly sent envoys to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, to plead with the Tang court to stop  Bing, promised that Tibet would always surrender to the Tang Dynasty.  The news that Tubo suffered a heavy blow, Luoche was surrounded, and the four towns of Annan were taken back by the iron-blooded army, and that the Anxi Protectorate was again under the control of the Tang Dynasty, quickly spread in the capital, and then spread to the north, even the powerful Turks in the north  , the news that they had suffered successive attacks on Longyou Road and were busy evacuating Longyou Road also spread in the capital.  The capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang quickly fell into ecstasy.  Recover the four towns of Annan and Anhui??The Protectorate is the iron-blooded army of the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is the army of His Royal Highness Prince Fu or the army commanded by the Daxingtai Mansion of Nanfang Road, it is still the army of the Tang Dynasty. You must know that after the Anshi Rebellion, within a short period of time,  The imperial court lost control of the Longyou Road. After Xianzong, the Longyou Road was completely occupied by Turks and Tubos. I don¡¯t know how many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty stayed in the four towns of Annan and eventually died in other places. This is the Tang Dynasty.  shame.  Debates among the common people quickly began, especially in the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang. Some scholars began to use their strengths in debating and put forward their own opinions. Some people believed that it was feasible for the Iron-Blooded Army to regain Longyou Road, but it occupied  There are some problems with Tubo. Tubo is a poor place. Even if it is occupied, it will be a problem for the Tang Dynasty. Some people think that since Tubo sent envoys to express complete surrender, they should seize this opportunity and let Tubo pay tribute every year.  .  It is a pity that the simple people have different understandings from some scholars. They think that His Royal Highness King Fu is great. He sent an army to conquer Tubo and recover Longyou Road. This is an eternal cause and a cause that is always worth remembering.  After the news came, the subsequent impact was that a large number of people went to Xiangyang, especially those scholars who thought they had the ability, because Xiangyang will hold an encore in September, and the scholars all hope to be able to go to high school in this encore.  You can enter the Daxingtai Mansion of Southern Dao, or work in the official government of the South.  The appearance of the Fan Yang Lu family and the Taiyuan Wang family caused the greatest shock.  After Cui Shenyou and Zheng Congchen proposed marriage, the wedding date was set for the first day of October, which meant that the two major families had begun to integrate into the sphere of influence of Daxingtai Mansion in Nanfang Road. Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Rupei actually planned such a major event.  Battle, just imagine, if the Iron Blood Army conquered Tubo and took back the Longyou Road, its influence on the Tang Dynasty would be far greater than that of the emperor. I am afraid that even the civil and military officials in the capital would have changed their inner thoughts.  In fact, many court officials resigned and went to Xiangyang, especially the Zheng family in Xingyang and the Cui family in Qinghe. Almost everyone who was an official in the court went to Xiangyang.  The Lu family of Fan Yang and the Wang family of Taiyuan began to pay close attention to the war between Tubo and Longyou Road, although the news was very fragmentary.  In June, after the news came that the Iron-Blooded Army had taken back the four towns of Annan and re-established the Annan Protectorate, Lu Guangqi resigned from his official post as Zhongshu Sheren and rushed to Xiangyang. The three brothers Wang Chao, Wang Shenbang and Wang Shenzhi also  Depart for Xiangyang.  The Tubo envoy came to Chang'an, the capital, and begged the Tang army to evacuate Tubo. After the news came that Tubo was willing to surrender forever, almost all the scholars from the two major families went to Xiangyang to prepare for the Enke held in September.  For a time, Xiangyang became the most lively and dazzling place in the Tang Dynasty.  The court was relatively quiet.  After the emperor learned the news, he just sighed. In fact, he had already received Li Rupei's memorial. He also felt that it was impossible for Li Rupei to completely conquer Tubo and establish prefectures and counties in Tubo according to the official system of the Tang Dynasty.  , as for the iron-blooded army regaining Longyou Road and re-establishing the Anxi Protectorate and the four towns of Annan, I don't believe it.  But the facts are before us.  The Turkic army operating in Longyou Road had already evacuated after being severely attacked by the Iron-Blooded Army. Tubo's Yalong Jue'a clan had no place to retreat and was suffering a devastating blow. Tubo's envoys came to the capital.  Crying about the blows they had suffered, they begged the court to spare the Tibetans, and they were willing to surrender permanently.  The emperor knew that he could not make the decision and could not stop Li Rupei and the Iron Blood Army. His goal had long been set, which was to completely conquer Tubo, destroy the Tubo dynasty, and return Tubo to the rule of the Tang Dynasty. Since he had made such a decision  decision, then you are fully prepared.  The prestige of Li Rupei and the Iron Blood Army has reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty. I am afraid it is time for him, the puppet emperor, to make a decision. In fact, he, the emperor, does not have much meaning in front of him. He might as well go with the flow and let Li Rupei inherit the throne.  , that way he can still live a comfortable life. Of course, if Li Rupei must destroy him as the emperor, he will have no way to fight.  Yang Fugong, who controlled the capital, had the most complicated mood.  Yang Fugong has not been in power for a long time. Of course, Yang Fugong is reluctant to give up the power in his hands. However, judging from the current situation, he does not have much time to hold power. If he cannot make a wise choice soon, the outcome may be even worse than Tian Lingzi.  .  Yang Fugong originally wanted to give birth to King Fu Li Rupei An, so that he could free up time and let Yang Fugong unite with the northern vassal towns to fight against the Iron-Blooded Army at a critical moment. At present, this possibility is not very high.  Time is also fate, and Yang Fugong, who was in a state of hesitation, could not make the right choice. He knew that the current situationUnder the current situation, the northern vassal towns will never take the initiative to challenge Li Rupei. If Li Rupei takes over the capital, these vassal towns will quickly surrender and pay taxes to the court on time while preserving their own interests.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
