As the soldiers of both sides fought hand to hand, the scout troops from the Tang Dynasty and the scout troops from the Tibetan side started a life-or-death battle at the southwest border!
"Kill, kill, kill, soldiers, destroy this group of Tang people!"
The Tubo people, riding war horses and holding weapons, and the soldiers from the Tang Dynasty started a life-and-death battle.
The soldiers on the Tang Dynasty's side stared intently at this group of Tubo people and also launched an attack on them.
The reconnaissance forces of both sides collided and fought with each other like this. This has happened no less than 10 times at this western border.
Sometimes the soldiers from the Tang Dynasty were more powerful, and sometimes the soldiers from Tubo were even better.
However, the soldiers on both sides, no matter who they were, could not control the other party!
Drive, drive, drive.
"Kill, kill, soldiers, our reinforcements are here."
"No, retreat, retreat, soldiers retreat, reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty are coming, retreat quickly!"
"Don't let them escape, chase them."
With the arrival of the Tang army, the Tubo people wanted to retreat quickly.
However, even if they wanted to retreat, the speed was still a bit slow after all.
Most of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were driven over were killed, and the remaining few were captured alive and brought to the Tang army's city.
See these Tubo soldiers.
"He's such a jerk, it's really unreasonable, it's unreasonable.
Tell me, these hateful Tubo people have nothing to do and don't have a good rest in their hometown.
Why did you come to my border to start trouble with the Tang Dynasty?"
Looking at the captured Tibetan prisoners, several soldiers became a little angry.
As soon as he came up, he was slapped with a few slaps, followed by another angry scolding!
“Let’s talk about it, you Tubo people, what’s your battle plan?
How do you want to conquer the Tang Dynasty? How many people did you send in total?
He is so weak, you guys, these little gadgets, should know what the price is to pay for starting a battle with me, the Tang Dynasty?
I think back then, the Turks always thought they were powerful and invaded our country, the Tang Dynasty, many times.
In the end, it was directly suppressed by the Tang Dynasty.
Although I, the Tang Dynasty, was merciful, I did not completely exterminate them.
But they have surrendered, and now you are the Tubo people.
Originally, we, the Tang Dynasty, had no enmity or enmity with you. The two sides could live in peace and conduct business with each other, which would be more than enough for you Tubo people to make a little money.
But you Tubo people are really so shameless that you came to conquer the Tang Dynasty?
Then there is nothing we can do, waiting for you in Tubo will definitely be a dead end!"
However, no matter what the Tang people said, the Tubo people still kept an eye on these Tang soldiers.
"You abominable Tang people, I, the Tubo army, have come to conquer the Tang Dynasty.
Just wash your necks obediently and wait for us to destroy you.
Our Tubo army will definitely win the final victory!"
Those Tibetan prisoners captured by the Tang Dynasty started chatting like Didi, Didi, Didi.
However, when the news came to Datang, everyone was stunned and couldn't understand a word, and then he was slapped several times.
"Sir, do you guys know how to speak human language?"
"Hey, let me tell you, you guys are really bullying me. How could they, these Tibetan children, speak my Central Plains dialect?
Come, here are the merchants we are going to do business with Tubo, arrange for some people to come over and translate."
"It's the general."
In order to cope with the difficulty in understanding the words of this group of Tubo people, Datang had already arranged for all the accompanying translators to be in place.
Upon hearing the order, the translators from Datang quickly rushed over.
Start translating what these Tibetan people said.
After hearing what this group of Tubo people said, the Tang soldiers had a bad temper again.
Another slap in the face.
It’s really unreasonable, it’s really unreasonable, if I don’t deal with you severely, you people really don’t know how powerful the Tang Dynasty is!
These slaps were slapped in the face, venting Tang Jun's dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay, if you continue to fight like this, this person will be beaten to death by you.
Forget it, even a little guy like him probably doesn't know those things.
Someone, drag him down and give him a good time."
"It's the general."
The Tibetan prisoners captured by the Tang Dynasty had their heads chopped off and hung directly on the city as a shock.
And the news reached the Tibetan military camp.
When the soldiers in the Tubo military camp heard the news, they were all filled with righteous indignation.
Then he also issued an order to directly kill the prisoners on his side of the Tang Dynasty and send them to the Tang Dynasty overnight to express the dissatisfaction of the Tibetan people.
The next day.
When this group of people threw the heads of the soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, they spoke out.
You Tang people are waiting for death, so you turn around and gallop forward.
Seeing the miserable state of our Tang Dynasty soldiers, everyone's anger rose again.
This group of Tubo people, if they are not wiped out this time, it will be difficult to understand the hatred in the heart of the Tang Dynasty!
"Come here, how long will it take for Datang's follow-up reinforcements to arrive?"
"General Qi, there is news from Chang'an City.
Our reinforcements behind Datang are rushing over.
It will take more than a month at most to arrive!”
"Okay, don't rush this matter, continue to send scouts to investigate.
Don't go head-to-head with these Tubo people this time.
We should not be anxious about this matter and wait until the follow-up troops arrive.
Let’s launch a face-to-face attack with the Tubo people.”
"It's the general!"
At this time, we must be well prepared to avoid a sudden attack by the Tubo people.
If the follow-up troops hadn't arrived yet, their side of the city would have been captured.
When this kind of thing spread, everyone felt that they had lost face.
It's a general.
For a time, news from the southwest border was sent to Chang'an City one after another.
After arriving at Chang'an City, Chang'an City also sent the news to the southwest border.
This battle with the Tubo people touched the hearts of everyone in the court.
Of course, for everyone, the Tang Dynasty can definitely handle the Tubo people easily.
Morning!
Today's morning meeting, officials arrived one after another.
But this time, everyone was surprised to find that some of their colleagues who were following them actually wore glasses.
Moreover, the glasses they wear actually look like His Majesty's.
After everyone puts on the small glasses, how do they feel that their aura is much nobler than they are?
Of course, these short-sighted people are all from the civil servants side, but there is no one from the military generals side!
"Hey, don't tell me, why do the scholars feel that the competition is higher than that of our generals when they wear glasses?"
"Yes, who said no?"
Everyone said that they were all envious and jealous.
After hearing what they said, the old faces of the group of people wearing glasses became very ugly.
By the way, do you think we also want to wear glasses?
Do you know how expensive these glasses are? They cost 100 taels of gold.
Let me ask you, who can bear these 100 taels of gold?
That is to say, they are bathing in the emperor's favor, and His Majesty has made all arrangements for them.
Otherwise, if you ask them to pay for it themselves, they will never do so. They would rather return to the way it was before.
Of course, these words were just thought in my mind and not spoken out.
"My dear friends, if you have something to do, please call me, but if you have nothing to do, please withdraw from the court."
As soon as he finished speaking, a minister stood up first and started talking about land transfer.
Now that spring is coming, it's time to involve the people's land.
Last winter in the Tang Dynasty, disasters occurred in several places and people were displaced.
Of course, but compared to the large-scale situations in previous years, these things that happened this year are completely negligible.
The court immediately arranged for manpower to go to rescue the victims.
The tens of thousands of victims have already been properly dealt with.
Now that the disaster is over, it is time to resettle the victims.
Anyone who can return to their previous village will be allowed to return the same way.
The remaining ones are homeless, they will be resettled and the land will be redistributed.
Li Er heard the words, nodded, and then issued the order.
Ask the government to make proper arrangements for these victims.
If the Tang Dynasty wants to develop, all the people must be involved.
No one should be left behind due to disasters.
"This is Your Majesty, I will take your orders."
"How are the tools for spring plowing prepared?"
"Your Majesty, news has come from various state capitals that they have organized blacksmiths to build it and everything has been taken care of.
I guarantee that the people will be able to make this spring plowing a complete success this year."
Hearing this, Li Er paused slightly and nodded with satisfaction.
I also learned about the people's farming of cattle and seeds.
Each region has its own advantages and disadvantages.
What the court controls is the trend of the entire world.
After hearing the report from the minister below, Li Er thought for a moment and arranged the next tasks.
If some state capitals have more of these things and are relatively sufficient, coordinate with your deficiencies.
In this way, each region can achieve a basic balance!
"This is your Majesty, I will take your orders!"
"My dear friends, do you have anything else to do?"
"Report, report, the border crossing in the northeast is 800 miles away, and it's urgent."
“Expedited service is 800 miles from the northeastern border.”
Originally, the ministers were in a good mood. Today is another beautiful day and they were ready to retreat.
However, this urgent sound broke all the calm.
After hearing this news, Li Er's expression changed drastically.
Everyone looked over and saw a soldier hurried in.
Arriving in the middle, he quickly saluted upward.
"Your Majesty, the Northeast Border Pass is 800 miles away urgently. Your Majesty, please check it out.
"With a wave of his hand, the personal officer next to Li Er hurriedly walked down and handed over the letter.
The southwest border is still fighting with Tibet, so why is there another trouble in the northeast?
Today, the country that is entrenched in the east is still called Goguryeo.
The country of Goguryeo was different from other tribes.
If the Turks are just barbarians, we, the Tang Dynasty, can completely wipe them out if we go all the way north.
The Tubos are nothing more than a swarm of ants, which I, the Tang Dynasty, can destroy with a snap of my fingers.
But the strength of this group of Goguryeo people cannot be underestimated.
At that time, all the land in Liaodong belonged to the Central Plains Dynasty.
In the Liaodong region during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty established counties there.
However, after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the melee in the Central Plains was also called the Southern and Northern Dynasties era.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the forces in the south were relatively stable, even with the change of dynasties and the ethnic groups were relatively homogeneous.
But the ethnic groups in the north are complex and changeable.
It went through several political regimes, the first being the dynasty established by the Xianbei people.
Later, the dynasty established by Xianbei changed customs and integrated into the Central Plains.
After several more dynasties, the power in the north rose, and the land of Liaodong also took the opportunity to be occupied by Goguryeo.
I'm so angry. Strictly speaking, the Goguryeo people and the Central Plains people can be considered to have the same roots and the same race.
They were all countries that were built by constantly migrating northward, entering Liaodong, marrying with local tribes, and finally forming new forces.
Unlike the Turks, the Goguryeo people have been learning from the Central Plains.
They also built tall cities and learned the original language, just like an independent Central Plains country.
But they were entrenched in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty. They were rich in products, complex in race, and united with each other.
For the Central Plains, the threat in the Northeast is even greater than anywhere else.
This is why after the Sui Dynasty unified the entire world, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty began to raise troops to conquer Goguryeo in the northeast.
However, the ideal is good, but the reality is cruel.
The Sui Dynasty's several eastward expeditions to Goguryeo not only failed, but in the end, they wasted people and money, hastening the demise of the dynasty.
The people rose up in rebellion, the world was in strife, the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, and the Tang Dynasty was unified.
The unification of the Tang Dynasty also inherited everything from the entire Sui Dynasty.
At the same time, the Tang Dynasty also wanted to completely eliminate Goguryeo in Liaodong.
However, at that time, among the enemies of the Tang Dynasty, only the Turks in the north were more powerful.
So the idea at that time was to destroy the Turks until the Turks were completely wiped out.
Originally, they wanted to further develop their military strength and then rest and recuperate, but now they have killed another Tubo.
This Tubo man is causing trouble with us, the Tang Dynasty, at the southwest border.
The Sui Dynasty was all in peace for four weeks, freeing up their hands to deal with Goguryeo in Liaodong, but they were not able to do so.
Although the Tang Dynasty is powerful today, Li Er also knows himself.
The rear area was unstable and he could not spare his hands to fight in Liaodong.
Today I heard that Babaili was urgent, and a very bad thought came to my mind.
Could it be that these Goguryeo people who are entrenched in Liaodong came to conquer the Tang Dynasty?
At the southwest border, the Tubo issue has not yet been resolved.
Goguryeo from the Northeast came here to take advantage of the situation and rob it?
