Chengdu government office.

The climate in Yizhou is relatively warm in comparison.

But at this time, there was a sound of air-conditioning in the hall.

Different from when I read history books, I can only imagine words such as Drinking Horse Hanhai and Yanran Leshi.

The territory of the Tang Dynasty was marked with a very eye-catching vermilion color.

As time went on, this piece of vermilion pushed towards Liaodong and came to a stalemate with Goguryeo.

Then it pushed northward and annexed the entire Xueyantuo, expanding its territory by nearly half.

Then through the slender Hexi Corridor, swallowing up the Western Region, this vermilion is connected to the north.

What finally appeared in front of them was an unprecedentedly vast territory.

How... strong!

Zhang Fei was speechless for a moment.

Image representation is inherently more intuitive than text, let alone moving pictures like this in later generations.

Liu Bei stared at this rapidly expanding empire.

Everyone knows about the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei has such a map of the territory of the Han Dynasty hanging in his room.

Now the area under his control is only the two states of Jing and Yi, which is only one tenth of the Han Dynasty.

For Liu Bei, being able to restore all the Thirteen States would already make him proud of his ancestors, let alone being able to conquer all the Western Regions...

He is worthy of being praised by future generations as the emperor of the ages.

After noticing Kong Ming's concerned gaze, Liu Bei shook his head gently, indicating that he was fine.

The Han Dynasty originally had Emperor Gao, Emperor Wen and Emperor Wu, Emperor Guangwu and others at the forefront.

For him, it is just one more target that can be used as a benchmark to chase.

These outstanding emperors are like paintbrushes, outlining what an excellent emperor should be like.

Always reflect on yourself, compare yourself day by day, and don’t seek to surpass others in civil, political, and military capabilities. As long as you can get closer, I think it will be a blessing for the world.

Kong Ming summed up an opinion in Gouhuhua:

“Rock studs are really important.”

The more horses there are, the faster the soldiers are, the sooner the war ends, and the less food and grass are consumed.

A typical counterexample is that in the old history of Guangmu, he entered Yizhou, fought in Hanzhong, and entered Yiling.

It often took half a year or a year, and after the battle, the treasury was completely empty, and he even had to promise the soldiers the treasury wealth, which put him in an embarrassing situation.

Now entering Yizhou depends on the overwhelming force, taking Hanzhong by surprise, Jing Xiang has already planned.

In careful calculation, the food and grass consumed during the Jingxiang Battle was a little more, but it was all within the plan and did not put our side in trouble.

Liu Bei nodded, then glanced at Fazheng and Zhang Fei and said:

This matter still requires a lot of hard work from Xiaozhi and Shiyuan.

Fa Zhengzheng cannot get what he wants, so he accepts the order with a smile.

[While the Tang army was overwhelmingly in power in the Western Regions, a small diplomatic dispute occurred in the southeast.

In the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, when Li Shimin was busy quarreling with the Western Turks with sky-high betrothal gifts, Wang Xuance, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, was attacked.

Since Master Xuanzang returned to the Tang Dynasty, Tianzhu has had many contacts with the Tang Dynasty.

For example, in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Tianzhu came to the court on his own initiative; in the seventeenth year, Li Yibiao and Wang Xuance paid a friendly return visit.

In the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, Wang Xuance once again went to Tianzhu as an envoy, but this time he encountered an accident:

King Harsha drowned in the Ganges.

This was the king who opened the Dharma Conference for Xuanzang, the leader of the Harsha Dynasty, and one of the initiators of the friendly relations between Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu.

Although Zhangyu UP often ridicules India's history as a history of being beaten, of course there have been accidents in the long history.

The Harsha Dynasty is one of them. This dynasty has the rare distinction of being one of the native empires of India.

At its peak, it occupied one-third of India's territory. Because it was located in the center of India, it was also called Central Tianzhu.

The country was founded in 606 and eliminated in 647. Wang Xuance was very unlucky. It was 647 when he arrived in Central Tianzhu.

King Harsha died without leaving any heirs, so the scripts are almost the same all over the world:

Minister Aronashun proclaimed himself king, and then, not knowing what was wrong with the third brother, he launched an attack on the Tang Dynasty envoy.

All thirty followers of the mission were captured, and only Wang Xuance and his deputy Jiang Shiren escaped to Tubo.

As the saying goes, the more you think about it, the more you will suffer. The more you think about it, the more angry you become. Wang Xuance decided to take revenge.

At that time, Songtsan Gampo, the husband of Princess Wencheng, was in power in Tubo, and both parties were in the honeymoon period. Wang Xuance told Songtsan Gampo about the matter, and Songtsan Gampo lent him 1,200 troops.

Songtsen Gampo's meaning is also very clear. With the help of your troops and momentum, the people of the mission will be brought back, and the matter will be over.

But Wang Xuance couldn't swallow this breath, so he went to Nibalo to gather 7,000 people. Finally, he combined 8,000 people and killed them back with great momentum.

In May of the 22nd year of Zhenguan, Wang Xuance led his army to attack Alonashun. They fought fiercely for three days in Chabo and Luocheng, beheading three thousand people and drowning ten thousand people. Alonashun abandoned the city and fled.

After escaping, Arona reorganized his troops and continued to fight, but was defeated by Wang Xuance again and captured alive.

In the end, Wang Xuance led his army and fought fiercely with the remnants of Alonashun in the Gantuowei River, completely defeating the opponent and capturing 12,000 prisoners alive.

Tianzhu was horrified, and 580 towns in Central Tianzhu surrendered one after another. The Harsha Dynasty, which was usurped by Alonashun, was completely destroyed.

Wang Xuance defeated the army in victory and escorted Aronashun and other nobles back to Chang'an for punishment.

This incident was recorded in the history books in just over 200 words, and there was only a few words on Wang Xuance’s achievements:

Break it big, break it again, attack it, and perish. 】

He's actually an envoy?!

Li Shimin did not expect that it was a pity that he had been sent to accompany Xuanzang at this time.

And at that time, I was still guessing how he joined the army, but I didn't expect that he was not a general, but an envoy.

But because of this, the appreciation on the face is even more obvious:

This is how it should be for an envoy from the Tang Dynasty!

Li Shi was dumbfounded. He thought that his victory over Xue Yantuo with 200 men would attract a lot of attention, but then a man with 50 cavalry appeared behind him to defeat Khotan.

Just when I thought this could be called the pinnacle of the Tang Dynasty, another man appeared who destroyed the country by himself, and he was not even a military commander!

And this is only the early Tang Dynasty. The Li Shi𪟝 that Guangmu mentioned later has not been forgotten.

Wang Zhongsi entered the battle alone.

Go deep into Gaoxianzhi.

Li Shi couldn't help but sigh: Why are all the generals in the Tang Dynasty so curly!

So, Your Majesty has used this person in the right place.

Li Jing said with a smile.

Maybe it's because he is really old and has a calm personality.

Therefore, Li Jing admired and appreciated Wang Xuance's actions more.

Li Shimin was embarrassed by his pretense:

Fortunately, now we, the Tang Dynasty, have destroyed the power of the Eastern Turks.

Otherwise, Wang Xuance may cause some kind of trouble in the Western Regions by taking advantage of the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

His mouth was full of blame, but his face was full of joy.

After all, everyone understood that even this battle mainly relied on the power of the Tang Dynasty.

But being able to borrow power is a manifestation of ability.

How many envoys did the Tang Dynasty have? Why is this the only one who destroyed the country?

After walking around the Ganlu Hall twice more, Li Shimin shook his head and said:

Now I really wish that Wang Xuance could return as soon as possible.

Such a talented person should be well cultivated.

Nowadays, the Western Region is still very dangerous. There are many ghosts and ghosts. If something unexpected happens...

Li Shimin was already worrying about gains and losses in advance.

[Wang Xuance single-handedly destroyed the country, there are several key points that need to be sorted out:

First of all, Songtsan Gampo was helping as the Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty, so these 1,200 Tibetan soldiers were thugs. How Wang Xuance handled this matter, Songtsan Gampo did not interfere or interfere, so he did not get any credit.

Secondly, Nibolu's seven thousand soldiers and horses were recruited by Wang Xuance under the banner of the Tang Dynasty. They were not borrowed troops. Therefore, Nibolu's own history does not record the dispatch of troops, and he did not receive credit.

Nibala's own history also records that at this time, King Deva was addicted to wine, sex, jewelry, and spices, and had no ambitions. Naturally, he would not be enthusiastic about helping Wang Xuance.

It was the country of Tianzhu that really mobilized the whole country to help Wang Xuance:

Dong Tianzhu presented 30,000 cattle and horses to the army, as well as bows, knives and money.

The Kingdom of Kamelu presented the map in exchange for a portrait of Lao Tzu from Wang Xuance.

The influence of the Tang Dynasty at that time is evident.

Although in the end the Tang Dynasty only benefited from the craftsmen brought back by Wang Xuance, so it did not pay much attention to this matter.

But this also highlights Wang Xuance's charm even more.

In the face of difficulties, he will never succumb to humiliation, put life and death aside, and rely on his personal charm and eloquence to maintain the dignity of the empire.

As an envoy, he commanded nearly 10,000 troops. He destroyed his capital in one battle, captured his king in two battles, and destroyed his country in three battles.

Two hundred words in the history of Qing Dynasty are enough to leave his name, and he deserves to be called the heroic sons and daughters of China. 】

This Tang Dynasty...

Zhang Fei was speechless and almost groaned:

Leave a way for people to survive...

A group of people in the Chengdu government office nodded fiercely.

Although the other party only detained the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, you easily destroyed their entire country.

Although the fellow Chinese people were relieved to see it, it was done beautifully.

But won’t this make it difficult for everyone in the future?
