The atmosphere gradually became solemn.

For the Han Dynasty, who does not respect the strong men and who does not respect the warriors?

Sincerity is both brave and martial, and ultimately strong and invincible. Although the body is dead, the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is resolute and the ghost hero.

Jian Yong opened his mouth to recite, his voice was ethereal, which contained his admiration for these messengers.

Looking at the martial arts of the Tang people, they are not inferior to our Han counterparts.

Pang Tong was also full of curiosity about the dynasty hundreds of years later. He could feel that later generations would always refer to Han and Tang Dynasties together.

How did the Tang Dynasty expand its territory to such a large extent? How did you create such a martial spirit? as well as……

How could the Tang people, who were so brave and brave, sit back and watch the Tibetan slaves for fifty years?

Zhang Fei said angrily:

The people are waiting for the old land to be recovered, but this general can still drink and have fun without being ashamed?

If I don't take advantage of this opportunity to reclaim the old land and open up new areas, if I look back at the Xiliang dance, I'll be damned!

The more Zhang Fei talked, the angrier he became. He felt ashamed to be with this general who was drinking and having fun!

Huang Zhong patted Zhang Fei's thigh to ask him to restrain his anger, and praised:

Zhang Youchao is really a good guy.

It's just that the nine teams of messengers just stopped on the road, which is really sad.

Guan Yu shook his head:

Why not fight back directly? Enter Longyou, attack Tubo, penetrate the Hexi Corridor, and achieve unparalleled achievements!

Kong Ming laughed: General Yun Chang, I think this discussion will be so remembered by future generations.

Most likely they really fought back!

Hahahaha, good, good!

Warrior! You are worthy of being a warrior in the prosperous Tang Dynasty!

His heart is commendable! His actions are remarkable! His character is commendable!

Li Shimin felt that his headache was much less severe in an instant.

Edict...

In excitement, he even wanted to give him a reward directly, but then he remembered that Zheng Wenchao was not a good general of Zhenguan.

However, since his descendant is called Little Taizong, he shouldn't treat his loyal ministers badly, right?

Du Ruhui's hand was very fast, and he even had time to write annotations in small letters next to the messenger.

Chang'an is the place where his heart is kind. Even though he died nine times, he still has no regrets.

Changsun Wuji was standing behind and watching, so he read it out directly. After tasting it, he thought it was very appropriate:

Ten teams of messengers survived nine deaths and never regretted it. Zhongliang in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Until I saw the later description of the news being brought to Chang'an.

Li Shimin felt that the headache that had just improved was likely to relapse:

“Hexi’s people are as old as ever.”

Is Chang'an's military preparedness so lax?

[The news brought by Gao Jinda only made Datang happy for a while, that's all.

After all, although the two states of Guasha were recovered, they were really beyond the reach of Tang Ting.

The two states are located at the westernmost end of the Hexi Corridor occupied by Tibet, thousands of miles apart.

For Tang Xuanzong, he cannot support his soldiers, horses, food, grass or even money. He can only praise your loyal and patriotic behavior.

Gao Jinda was not discouraged. After reporting to Xuanzong, he took one last look at Chang'an, which was as bustling as a celestial city, and finally rode northwest to find his general.

After sending the messenger, Zhang Yichao did not wait for reinforcements. He knew that if he wanted to return to his country, the only thing he could rely on was the armor he wore and the sharpness he held.

After sending away Gao Jinda and others in 848, Zhang Yi mobilized his troops and gathered strength.

In 849, Zhang Yichao led his army to take the initiative to march eastward, attacking the city and fighting in the field. He recovered Jiuquan, conquered Zhangye, and recovered the two prefectures of Gansu and Suzhou.

In 850, Zhang Yichao led his army north from Shazhou and recovered Yizhou. At this time, Gao Jinda had just arrived in Chang'an.

At this point, the western end of the Hexi Corridor was firmly in Zhang Yichao's hands.

While Zhang Yichao was regaining Yizhou, the conflict between the two warlords of Tubo also came to an end. Shang Jingnuo was defeated by Lun Qingre and fled Ganliangzhou with three thousand soldiers and horses.

After discussing with Zhang Yichao, he shouted the slogan If Tubo has no owner, it will return to the Tang Dynasty, and handed over the six states of Min, Kuo, He, Lan, Shan and Xi to Zhang Yichao.

In exchange, Zhang Yichao agreed to form an alliance with Shang Jingnuo and repelled Lun Kere who came to pursue him in Ganzhou.

At this point, Zhang Yichao restored five states, declared six states, established a foothold in Hexi, and looked east to Chang'an. Returning to the country was finally no longer an unattainable dream. 】

Starting from humble beginnings, fighting thousands of miles, and conquering Hexi alone, his achievements are comparable to Wei Qing's!

Appreciation almost overflowed from Liu Bei's eyes.

It is so common for a gentleman to change from high to low! His slave chief was suddenly promoted to the army, regained his old land, defeated his old enemies, and served his country loyally and resolutely. His merits are even greater than those of Wolong. His heart is so generous!

Pang Tong was also full of admiration. There was actually a general who could do this!

Pang Tong felt that even if the general was defeated, no one would be harsh on him.

Kong Ming didn't care at all about Pang Tong's little thoughts and was equally impressed:

Led the miscellaneous troops of the Hu monks in the Tang Dynasty, and conquered the west of Hexi in one fell swoop. The loyal and good people followed, and then calmed down the border areas.

His reputation and achievements have shocked the ages. He is not a famous general, but can only be called a hero.

On the other side, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan looked at each other with only one meaning in their eyes:

How about you come?

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said calmly:

With a small number, he defeated many, he won like a god, he rode alone to recover five states, and he drank his horse to support Chang'an. His name is recorded in history, and he is worthy of being a hero.

So Wei Yan and Huang Zhong looked at Zhang Fei again: Your eldest and second brothers have already said it, do you also need to comment on it?

Zhang Fei's cheeks were slightly red, he laughed and praised:

I think so too!

Liu Bei put his hand on his forehead and felt blind. Kong Ming and Pang Tong laughed.

Guan Yu seriously warned: Third brother, you must study diligently and keep reading.

Li Shimin's first reaction was:

If Chang'an's troops and horses are all out of Hexi, and they respond to each other, won't Tubo be destroyed?

No... This thought was suppressed in an instant. If he had such ability, then Emperor Tang and his generals would not just like Gao Jinda.

It's okay to retreat to the next best thing, instead of having the power to be the commander-in-chief of the army, and to be the commander-in-chief of everything in Hexi, right?

But... Li Shimin remembered Zhang Yichao's name.

Changsun Wuji had probably delineated Tubo's sphere of influence from the map of the light screen.

I just wanted to leave it to the servants to find out after I got home.

Although his eldest grandson Wuji was dismissed, he still wanted to shine for the Tang Dynasty!

A hundred years later, Zhang Yichao would be so dedicated to the Tang Dynasty. Even if his eldest grandson Wuji was dismissed, how could he be willing to be a rich man?

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were filled with emotions.

They are only in the early Tang Dynasty now.

In other words, what kind of Tang Dynasty did they create together with everyone so that people a hundred years later can still appreciate the legacy of the Tang Dynasty and sacrifice their lives so much?

Fang Xuanling whispered:

Ke Ming should take good care of his health, so that he can get rid of family troubles and see a prosperous world.

Du Ruhui nodded.

People are always like this, looking towards Shu when they reach Long. Du Ruhui once felt that he was satisfied that His Highness the King of Qin, whom he worked hard to help, has made outstanding achievements throughout the ages.

But now he also wants to carve his name in the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, so that future generations will have a statue of himself in Chang'an, which never sleeps!

[Gao Jinda was not the only one Zhang Yichao sent to Chang'an to announce the good news.

The messenger who followed Gao Jinda was Monk Wuzhen. Relying on his status, he was able to reach Chang'an half a year after Gao Jinda.

After temporarily repelling the fear of discussion, Zhang Yichao finally felt more confident.

In August 851 AD, Zhang Yichao entrusted his brother Zhang Yitan to enter the court with 29 people from the state, including Li Mingda, Li Mingzhen, and Wu Anzheng.

Tell us about the victory of the restoration of the five states, tell us about the victory of surrender to our maidservants, tell us about the victory of defeating the fear of heat.

He also presented the restored five states and the six states, totaling eleven states, presented by Shang's maidservant.

There was a sensation in Chang'an and the people were overjoyed. Li Chen, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, read Zhenguan Politicians every day, always encouraging himself with the help of two phoenixes. After learning about Zhang Yichao, he finally sighed:

It is useless to send generals from Guanxi, and promoted Zhang Yichao to Shazhou Defense Envoy.

After three months of discussion, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty once again issued an edict to establish the Guiyi Army in Shazhou to unify the eleven states.

Zhang Yichao was appointed as the Jiedu Envoy of the Guiyi Army, the Observer Envoy of the Eleven Prefectures, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

With official endorsement, Zhang Yichao also officially began to govern the five states:

Free the enslaved people and measure the land occupied by the Tubo nobles.

Check the household registration, restore the Tang system, unite the monks and Hu, train troops and forge weapons, and maintain stability under the rule. 】

Zhang Fei has always been afraid of falling behind others when it comes to making fun of others:

What does this little Taizong mean? It is obvious that the Tang Dynasty regained its old land, but it is true to its promise.

Why don't you have the spirit of being an emperor for eternity?

Liu Bei also found it difficult to understand:

Are you so not afraid of hurting the hearts of the righteous?

Pang Tong shook his head and felt sorry for Zhang Yichao:

What is the late Tang Dynasty? Tang Zuo will die. Internal and external troubles are inevitable.

Kong Ming also felt helpless, and privately felt that this emperor really had nothing to do with the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

It was originally the hometown of the Tang Dynasty. It was named like this, as if Hexi should belong to the Yi and Di.

Jian Yong suddenly asked:

I don't know how many years this Tang Dynasty Guo Zuo has left.

Li Shimin's face was as dark as water. This matter turned out to be the same as what he worried about.

From the bottom of his heart, he thought this little Taizong's trick was really disgusting.

If you are afraid that he will seize power, you can let his brother stay in Chang'an to lead the Helong Jiedu envoy, and then give Zhang Yichao other arrangements and support, so as to do things expediently.

What happened to the Guiyi Army Jiedu Envoy? !

He, Li Shimin, remembers that the light curtain said that the Western Regions were taken back by the wise and powerful Emperor Tang!

Now that I think about it, who else would it be than me?

This little Taizong has forgotten the achievements of his real Taizong! , reading Zhenguan Politicians every day can read this level?

Changsun Wuwu had a clear mind and carefully advised:

Perhaps the Anshi Rebellion caused serious disasters...

Li Shimin sneered a few times and said:

The general has become so corrupt...

The following words were not said, but everyone understood in their hearts.

Li Shimin took the initiative to expose it himself:

This book discusses the tide and governs the old territories of the five states, eliminates the legacy of Tubo, and restores the old system of the Tang Dynasty. It is very well done.

Du Ruhui was very worried:

The Tubo regarded the Tang as their formidable enemy, and they were robbed and plundered several times. How many of the Tang people in Hexi could survive?

Zhang Yichao unified the Tang Monk Hu Sanlei. The road was blocked and the Tang people withered. If he did this, the Guiyi Army might actually become the Guiyi Army.

This worry is also a concern for Li Shimin, and he also knows how to solve it:

We should work together to regain Liangzhou! Reopen the old roads and immigrate people from Shandong and Henan...

Li Shimin suddenly got stuck and remembered the old things in Longxi that Guangmu had mentioned before.

In later generations, this place has become a desert, and the hometown of the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo people who returned to the rebel army have all disappeared in the wind and sand.

Li Shimin sighed heavily:

The strategy for Hexi should be carefully considered.

The second update will be much later, which is a shame.
