    The iron-blooded army won a steady stream of victories at the front, and the scouts went through all kinds of hardships and reached Xiangyang as quickly as possible, allowing Li Rupei to obtain battle reports as quickly as possible.  [ At the end of April, the Iron-blooded Army attacked the city of Yufu, annihilated three thousand soldiers of the Tibetan King of Lhasa, and beheaded the generals of the King of Lhasa. After that, the Iron-blooded Army soldiers did not rest, and marched into Bowo, Medog and Luowo in one go, and captured  They captured these cities and dealt a heavy blow to the King of Lhasa's subordinates. Afterwards, the Iron-blooded Army rested in Medog, waiting for the shipment of food and grass. It was at this time that the four Tibetan kings began to be alert and united to prepare to resist the Iron-blooded Army. Gao Chibang, Zhu Wen  After Qin Erhei's discussion, he divided his troops into two groups and encircled and suppressed the other Tibetan armies who came for reinforcements, posing a huge threat to Qusong. King Ali's army and King Yaze's army were indeed fooled and did not dare to  Reinforcements came from the direction of Qusong and detoured to Linzhou and Dazi. Unexpectedly, the army led by Zhu Wen was waiting for them. After several battles, the two reinforcement armies were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness of the sergeants. They encountered heavy losses.  The blow forced him to flee in the direction of Dang Xiong and Naqu.  In view of the change in the situation in Tibet, after the grain and grass from Xichuan arrived in Medog, Gao Chibang made another decision to open the road and let all the reinforcing Tibetan troops enter Luoche. He was ready to assemble the army and fight in Luoche.  It is a battle that determines the outcome. It is hoped that through this battle, all the Tibetan armies will be completely wiped out.  Gao Chibang's decision played an important role. Seeing that the offensive of the Tang army weakened, King Ali and King Yaze thought that the Tang army was beginning to not adapt to the climate and environment of Tubo. They personally led the army to Luoshou for reinforcements.  So he went to Luoxue because his army suffered a heavy blow. Only by joining forces with the King of Lhasa could the Tang army attack.  Otherwise, each working on its own will eventually lead to a dead end.  In July, King Lhasa, King Ali and King Yaze all gathered at Luoshu. They had common interests and could be united for the time being. As for resisting the attack of the Tang Dynasty army, or the withdrawal of the Tang army  What will happen after that is the next step to consider.  At the same time they sent out envoys.  He went to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and begged the Tang army to evacuate.  Xie Yuxin, who entered Longyou Road, also received a large number of reports to Xiangyang. Xie Yuxin's progress was even smoother. In June, he completely restored the Anxi Protectorate and the Four Towns of Anxi. They were firmly controlled by the Iron Blood Army. In fact, he wanted to completely take back Longyou.  Dao, controlling the four towns in Anxi is very critical, and of course there is another key point.  That is, we must completely control the Longyou and Hexi states to prevent the four Anxi towns from being completely cut off from the mainland. However, this situation will basically not happen at present.  Tubo was almost destroyed by the iron-blooded army, and had no energy to pay attention to the Longyou and Hexi states. King Yalongjue'a, who occupied this place, had been beaten like a lost dog by the iron-blooded army led by Xie Yuxin.  The time for complete destruction is not far away.  It was at this time that Gao Chibang, Xie Yuxin, Zhu Wen, Qin Erhei and others completely understood why Li Rupei would spend huge manpower and material resources.  Conquer Tubo and Longyou Road at the same time. In fact, the two places are closely related. Just attacking one place will not be very effective.  Xie Yuxin took control of the four towns in Anxi and rebuilt the Anxi Protectorate. Although it was a nominal reconstruction, this marked the Tang Dynasty's complete restoration of control over Longyou Road.  The Turks on the east side of Longyou Road had long since retreated after being severely attacked by the Iron-Blooded Army several times. It should be said that the Turks' strength was far inferior to what it was at the beginning. Facing the sharp attacks of the Iron-Blooded Army, they basically did not fight back.  power.  It was inevitable that both Tubo and Turks would be defeated by the Iron-Blooded Army at the same time. The training of the Iron-Blooded Army was the most advanced, and its logistics supplies were vigorously guaranteed. Even the horses equipped by the soldiers were much better than those of the Tubo and Turks.  , coupled with the strong backing support, victory in the battle is expected.  Xie Yuxin's stationing in the four towns of Anxi is equivalent to blocking the Tubo's escape route. The Tubo army can only stick to the logic and has no other direction to escape. In the past, the Tubo army could rely on the terrain and high adaptability to the environment. In the Iron-Blooded Army,  There is no effect in front of them. The soldiers of the Iron Blood Army strictly implemented the training requirements of Daxingtai Mansion and completely adapted to the plateau climate and environment.  Li Rupei had expected these victories, but from reading between the lines, he could know the difficulties and hardships experienced by the soldiers of the Iron-Blooded Army.  The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has always been regarded as a restricted area for human existence. The price paid for fighting in such a place is unimaginable. Li Rupei can think of the hardships suffered by Gao Chibang, Xie Yuxin, Zhu Wen and Qin Erhei, even though they have never been there.  mentioned in the report.  But this kind of sacrifice is necessary to unify the Tang Dynasty and establish a brand new dynasty.??Standing on top of the world, this is Li Rupei's true thought. Everything he does is working in this direction. As long as there is enough time, he will definitely be able to achieve his goal and create a powerful dynasty that ordinary people can't imagine.  .  The Daxingtai Mansion is still busy. The autumn harvest season is here. Governments in various places have begun to collect taxes. After several years of recuperation, the people have long returned to a peaceful life. The south has been completely calmed down. There is no invasion of foreign enemies and no war. This is reflected everywhere.  In a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, governments at all levels strictly followed the requirements of the Daxingtai government and the Jiedushi Yamen. This situation was what the people liked the most. The people were at peace, and prosperity soon began to appear.  The population in the south began to increase significantly. The development of commerce and trade lowered prices. Salt was no longer an expensive commodity and entered the homes of ordinary people. All this indicated that the foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty had begun to emerge.  The wars to conquer Tubo and regain the Longyou Road were victorious. This caused many people to flock to the south. The largest number of people gathered in Xiangyang, which had long surpassed the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang. A large number of scholars from the north gathered in Xiangyang.  Various poetry competitions appeared one after another. The reality that the scholars saw and the victory in the war made them unable to help but praise loudly.  Various praises are heard in Xiangyang, Liangzhou, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Chengdu and even Guangzhou.  Cui Anqian, Zheng Congchen and others were sincerely happy when faced with this situation, but Li Rupei was very calm.  After Gao Chibang, Zhu Wen and Qin Erhei completed the intelligence of the siege and arrived in Xiangyang, Cui Anqian and others came to the palace to announce the good news to Li Rupei. They knew that the decisive battle against Tubo was about to begin. As long as this battle was decisive,  With victory, the Tang Dynasty will completely defeat Tubo and incorporate Tubo into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.  Looking at Cui Anqian and others who were in high spirits, Li Rupei still had a faint smile on his face.  After everyone finished congratulating, Li Rupei slowly spoke.  "There are many voices of praise outside, and the Iron Blood Army's conquest will also achieve a decisive victory. Under such circumstances, it is normal for you to be happy, but I would like to remind you that the more favorable the situation, the more  You need to be calm, so that you can know what else is not done well. " "I often think that the people are very simple and their requirements are not very high. Giving them peace and prosperity is what the government should do.  Things, now the government has only made some efforts in this regard, it should be said that it is completely insufficient, but the people are already very satisfied. I should feel lucky to have such people. " "Ask yourself, many places in the south are just.  Once pacification is achieved, the people will not be rich, that is, they will not be hungry. Therefore, the government still needs to do a lot of things. How to make the people rich is probably the next huge challenge that the government will face. If it cannot be solved well,  This problem and the stable situation are difficult to maintain for a long time. " "The Tang Dynasty still faces many problems. In the capital city of Chang'an and the eastern capital of Luoyang, the eunuchs control the government and only think about their own interests, regardless of the life and death of the people. As for the emperor,  I don¡¯t want to make any comments. The vassal towns in the north are more powerful and there are faint signs of resistance to the imperial court. Don¡¯t forget the Anshi Rebellion, which was the trigger for the decline of the Tang Dynasty. " "Many people regard the decline of the Tang Dynasty.  , blame the Anshi Rebellion, blame An Lushan, but I don¡¯t see it this way. Why did the extremely powerful Tang Dynasty suffer from the Anshi Rebellion? Could it be said that it was a disaster from heaven? It is obviously impossible. Recently, I carefully read the records  Some evaluations of the historical records of the An-Shi Rebellion are barely fair, and most of them are nonsense. ""The fall of Emperor Xuanzong was the root cause of the An-Shi Rebellion, but no one made such an evaluation." When Li Rupei said this, the room was stunned.  Calm down, as a descendant of the Li Tang royal family, it is shocking to evaluate your ancestors like this.  "Don't be surprised. The Li Tang royal family has suffered too many twists and turns. If it cannot thoroughly reflect on and learn from the past lessons, it will be destroyed sooner or later. Emperor Xuanzong's greed for pleasure led to the decline of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The Anshi Rebellion directly appeared.  The cancer was the separatism of feudal towns. Emperor Xianzong had made some efforts to combat the separatism of feudal towns in the hope of revitalizing the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, Emperor Xianzong's own shortcomings, including his lack of ability, caused all his efforts to be in vain.  The eunuchs' chaos made the revitalization of the Tang Dynasty a dream. "Everyone who is around me should know what I think. If I cannot completely revitalize the Tang Dynasty and build a unified and powerful Tang Dynasty, I will not be special."  I¡¯m happy, there are a lot of things to do. You must work hard with me to achieve this goal. When the time comes, I will have a good time with you and get drunk with you.¡± (To be continued, please search.)?Piao Tian Literature, novels are better and updated faster!
