Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 149 Dunhuang’s legendary generals from ancient times

[Zhang Yichao turned his body white and started an uprising in Shazhou in 848, which lasted until 861.

It took thirteen years to finally successfully regain the old land of Hehuang, which had been occupied for hundreds of years.

It ends with Yiwu in the west and Lingwu in the east. It has more than 4,000 miles of land and a household with a household registration of one million. The mountains and rivers in the six counties are like the old ones.

The ZTE in the late Tang Dynasty was essentially pushed to its peak by Zhang Yichao himself.

And Zhang Yichao's legendary journey does not end here.

After the Hexi Corridor was completely opened up, the Tang Dynasty restored Liangzhou Jiedu, under the leadership of Zhang Yichao.

In 866, Zhang Yichao went to Chang'an, and Xizhou, Beiting, Luntai, Qingzhen and other cities also announced their recovery.

In October of the same year, Zhang Yichao ordered Pugujun, the king of the Uighurs, to fight against Lun Kere, and won a great victory. Lun Kere was killed and spread to Chang'an.

In the same year, the Khotan dynasty in the Anxi region followed Zhang Yichao's example and raised troops to regain southern Xinjiang. After being frightened by the power of the Guiyi army, they re-claimed vassalage to the Tang Dynasty.

At this point, Tubo's influence in Hexi was finally wiped out.

From Chang'an through the pass, through Hexi to Beiting and Khotan, the journey to the Western Regions was once again unimpeded.

At this time, the late Tang Dynasty finally had some of the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The following year, Zhang Yitan, who stayed in Chang'an as a hostage, died. Zhang Yichao took the initiative to go to Chang'an as a hostage and left the funeral affairs of the Guiyi Army to his brother's son Zhang Huaishen.

Zhang Huai was deeply grateful for his uncle's achievements, so he ordered people to draw Zhang Yichao's Army Travel in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang and wrote a biography of him.

When Zhang Yichao arrived in Chang'an, the people of Chang'an welcomed him, and all the civil and military officials in the city praised him.

The emperor granted him the right Shenwu to command the army, granted him land and a house, and promoted him to Situ.

In 872, Zhang Yichao died of illness at the age of seventy-four. He was given a gift of Taibao, and Hexi mourned with him.

This hero of the late Tang Dynasty was born in Shazhou and died in Chang'an.

He raised his troops and returned eastward, raided Liuhe, and fulfilled his dream:

Return to Tang Dynasty. 】

What a great Tang warrior in the late Tang Dynasty!

Changsun Wuji took the initiative to praise everyone.

Li Shimin stopped talking at this time.

The words for pledge and received as a gift of Taibao came into view, which made him very unhappy:

What later generations said is correct, such meritorious service deserves the posthumous title of Zhongwu!

You are still young Taizong, why have I been so stingy!

He still remembered the few posthumous titles of Zhongwu that Guangmu had mentioned before, and one of them came from him.

This descendant emperor has such a name, why does Li Shimin feel like he is criticizing Sang and Huai?

Could it be that I was really stingy later on?

Li Shimin couldn't help but reflect on himself.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other, and Du Ruhui shook his head gently.

Regarding the name, the two important ministers had the same idea in mind.

But I'm afraid His Majesty will be even more furious if I say it.

In this case, it is better to hide it in your heart and not say it.

Du Ruhui calmly changed the topic:

Zhang Yichao can be called a famous general throughout the ages!

Looking at his lifetime, we can basically come up with a draft to sort out the Western Regions. Congratulations.

Du Ruhui was right. Li Shimin looked at the simple map in the light curtain again.

Although there is only simple coloring, you can already get a glimpse of how states and counties are divided.

Moreover, looking at Zhang Yichao's route of raising troops, we can also estimate the distribution of Tibetan forces and thus the Tubo occupation route.

In short, even if only scales and claws were revealed in later generations, the two famous ministers could still get a glimpse of information from it.

Ke Ming's words are very good. Li Shimin nodded in approval:

Let's wait for the pharmacist's news, and then...

Li Shimin's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he had already made a list in his mind:

The Western Regions, Tubo, Goguryeo, Japanese slaves... come one by one, don't be in a hurry.

Then I sighed again that this discussion really happened at the wrong time.

If the little Taizong is not good enough, how can he be as good as me, the real Taizong who will last forever?

This is what a good man should be like! Guan Yu clapped his hands and praised:

He single-handedly brought peace to troubled times, and his name was praised in court. When he wins, the people are happy, but when he dies, the people are sad.

There is no regret in such a life!

Huang Zhong finds it quite inspiring:

When this debate started and troops started to rise, Nalu was still one of the two major forces in Tibet.

But just over ten years later, no one from Chang'an to the Western Regions knew Zhang Yichao's name, and even the once formidable enemy of Fear of Heat could be destroyed with one word.

Zhenno... Huang Zhong shook his head in admiration:

He is a true hero.

The generals were all convinced, and even Zhang Fei had begun to cry out for Zhang Yichao:

Such achievements, such a good man, but it turns out that he is only as good as the prosperous Tang Dynasty?

So harsh?

Wei Yan also felt quite dissatisfied. He was also a military commander. In his opinion, this discussion was almost the best:

It is said that one person can conquer the Western Region only one-tenth of the height of the Tang Dynasty?

Then the prosperous Tang Dynasty could destroy the country with just one word?

Everyone looked around and shook their heads, feeling that the light curtain was probably right.

In fact, this discussion only relies on a partial army, but it can conquer the barbarians from all directions, cut through Hexi, and lead thousands of miles of land back to China. How can it not be considered powerful?

Liu Bei also shook his head and said casually:

“I don’t know who was weak and who was strong during the two prosperous periods of Han and Tang Dynasties.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the civil and military officials looking at him with burning eyes, and he quickly changed his words:

I guess he is not as strong as a strong man.

Pang Tong was unceremonious in his comments:

Although this Tang has powerful martial arts, he can't kill the barbarians without fear!

Whether it was the former Han Dynasty or today, how could the common people be so humiliated by the barbarians?

Everyone couldn't help but nodded secretly, I am still better as a big man.

As for the Five Husties and the chaos in China, how many years had it been since the Han Dynasty had been usurped?

[The Tang Dynasty has a good poetry style. Poetry has witnessed the rise of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the decline of the late Tang Dynasty.

A year before the Anshi Rebellion, Du Fu had already smelled the rot in this empire and cursed angrily:

Confucianism has nothing to do with me. Confucius and his thieves are all in the dust.

Before Zhang Yichao launched his army, the twilight atmosphere of the late Tang Dynasty was even stronger. At that time, Xu Hun also lamented:

The clouds in the stream are just beginning to rise, the sun is sinking into the pavilion, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is filling the building.

Zhang Yichao's uprising made the people of Hexi see the dawn of returning to the Tang Dynasty.

The Dunhuang posthumous documents now stored in the National Library of France record the praise of Hexi people:

In ancient times, Dunhuang has produced extraordinary generals, and all the tribes admired him from afar... Sooner or later, all the tribes will be destroyed, and they will worship the holy face together.

After Liangzhou regained Hexi and opened up the country, Zhang Qiao, a survivor who returned to the Tang Dynasty, also wrote a poem about his complicated feelings:

The young generals marched to Hehuang, and when their heads turned white, they returned to their hometown. One hundred thousand Han troops were scattered, and they blew the wind alone towards the setting sun.

Three years after Zhang Yichao's death, Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao revolted one after another.

Wei Zhuang also used poetry to describe the end of the Tang Dynasty he saw:

All the dancers and singers donated their money secretly, all the babies and young girls were abandoned... The inner treasury was burned to ashes, and all the bones of the ministers were trampled on in the streets.

Zhang Yichao failed to turn the tide and helped the building to collapse.

He was just a flash of light in the late Tang Dynasty, like a shooting star, and was the last dignity given by history to the giant of the Tang Dynasty. 】

How come the Dunhuang suicide note...is in France?

Kong Ming leaned forward slightly, puzzled.

He remembered that when he introduced the national treasure Bai Zhi, France was the first to do something evil.

Military generals have never had a good impression of these things, so Zhang Fei didn't bother to guess:

Maybe it's like that stick, robbing us and using it as his own.

I only regret that the later dynasties were lax in their military preparations and were taken advantage of by this evil beast!

Kong Ming shook his head and could only temporarily suppress these doubts, but he became curious about the history before the establishment of the Kingless Dynasty.

The rain is about to come and the wind fills the building...that's so well said. Pang Tong silently savored the poem.

I just feel that everything picked out individually by the light curtain has its own uniqueness.

Although the words of this poem snatched away by Falun are not gorgeous in terms of rhetoric, they are more sincere in emotion.

The hearts of the people in Hexi can be used. What a heroic remnant.

The people in the Gong'an County branch office slowly pondered over the poetry of the Tang Dynasty, and felt that the Tang Dynasty's literary governance seemed to have made great achievements.

As for the scene of Tang's demise, everyone just sighed.

Dong Zhuo's disaster only lasted twenty years, and Luoyang was burned down for a hundred years. The original disaster was so ordinary.

Perhaps because he had been mentally prepared before, Li Shimin just kicked away a Denzi next to him.

The Anshi Rebellion?! Is this the end of the crisis?

Li Shimin was slumped, feeling as if he knew a defeat was waiting for him.

But I don't know who the enemy general is, nor how I was defeated. I feel completely powerless.

The army of one hundred thousand was wiped out, and the survivors became white-haired soldiers.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also noticed another novel word.

Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao...revolted?

Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment: Isn't this... a rebellion by the people?

In the eyes of the two important ministers, uprising means rebel soldiers, but...

That Tubo was wiped out by Zhang Yichao. Du Ruhui said word by word:

After Zhang Yichao returned to Chang'an, there was no record of leading troops. This shows that there may have been no foreign troubles in the late Tang Dynasty.

So Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao are rebels...against the Tang Dynasty?

Changsun Wuji was startled and wanted to retort, so he quickly glanced at His Majesty's face.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin's face showed no hesitation, he just looked at the small light screen quietly.

So Changsun Wuji also decided to keep silent.

Du Ruhui boldly raised his hands and said:

Please punish me for my blunder. In my opinion, those future generations are neither Tang people nor Han people. Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao deserve this praise.

Perhaps due to internal and external troubles in the late Tang Dynasty, officials became enemies of the people. Just like...

Li Shimin shook his head, is this an example? It's simply too much.

He had previously been praised as one emperor through the ages, and at that time he had imagined that he might actually create a dynasty that lasted a thousand years.

But now based on Zhang Yichao's calculation, Tang Zuo would only have lived for three hundred years at most.

Can an eternal emperor only last for a hundred years?

At this moment, Li Shimin's thinking was as clear as if he had been marching to fight as the King of Qin:

If we extend Tang Zuo's reign, we will first extend the prosperity for a hundred years, and the longevity of the prosperity for a hundred years will not only depend on my descendants, but also on my cultural and military achievements.

I, the Zhenguan general, will create a stronger Zhenguan Tang Dynasty!

Li Shimin is ambitious. First, he must surpass himself in the history of the light curtain!

[Looking back at history, Zhang Yichao was also one of the few saviors in the late Tang Dynasty.

It's a pity that Zhang Yichao, who relied on the Tubo rebellion to take advantage of the situation, raised troops to regain his homeland.

It was a congenitally stunted force, and after conquering Liangzhou, it was still constrained by Tang Ting.

The hundred years of Tubo rule in Hexi made Zhang Yichao famous.

And fundamentally destroyed the promising Guiyi Army. 】
