Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

This can be regarded as destroying the country in one battle.

Liu Bei's tone also became dry.

Regarding Tang's feat, I felt admiration at first, and then I was stunned.

And now, looking at Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, East Turk, Gaochang, Qiuci...

Liu Bei's heart has become calm. As Na Wen Mang said, there is no doubt that he will win this battle.

This battle can also be regarded as the remnant of the struggle against Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Kong Ming looked back and realized that although the Tang Dynasty had won consecutive battles in terms of record, the dangers and coincidences involved were hard to ignore.

For example, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty used the name of Tian Khan to control the situation in the Western Turks.

Winning over the weak and cooperating with the powerful enemies made the Western Turkic brothers jealous, and took the opportunity to intervene in the affairs of the Western Regions.

He seemed to be able to see groups of Tang envoys riding horses on this rugged road. Their names were unknown but they were gradually changing the situation in the Western Region.

Looking back, Kong Ming couldn't help but be even more impressed:

Taizong of the Tang Dynasty lived in a hurry for fifty years, bringing peace to the troubled times, ruling the world, restoring the Western Regions, and attacking Liaodong.

As long as an ordinary person completes one thing, it can be called a great deed. This person... no wonder later generations will call him an emperor through the ages.

Zhang Fei also admired him, but he remembered even more:

By the way, I remember how old my eldest brother is...

Liu Bei cut off his third brother's words without even looking at them:

Therefore, we must follow his example and strive to be the first!

You should also follow the example of Su Dingfang and Li Jing and work hard when you are over fifty. It is not too late!

Zhang Fei was speechless and could only say:

That's what I want to say.

Liu Bei chuckled and chose not to believe it.

Kong Ming looked at this scene, clasping his hands and laughing.

Fa Zhengze took a look at Su Dingfang's tactics against the Turks:

It seems that this Tang army is not only good at controlling cavalry, but also good at controlling cavalry.

When Fa Zheng returned to Chengdu and traveled with Zhang Fei, he asked about the situation in Yongliang.

Now that Han Sui has escaped far away, it is said that Pang Tong wants to trick him to the plateau...

No, it should be said that he wanted to ask him to go to the plateau to serve as the vanguard of the Han Dynasty and fulfill his duties as a general in the Western Conquest.

There was only Ma Chao left in Yongliang, and he and his subordinates were quite convinced of Mr. Jian Yong. Coupled with Pang Tong's eloquence, the land of Yongliang could be said to be worry-free.

Therefore, the biggest problem now is Xia Houyuan stationed in Chang'an and the tens of thousands of cavalry led by him.

Kong Ming understood Fazheng's idea, so he thought about it a little and said:

Su Dingfang did not lead many troops, so he used all his spears to seek invincibility first and then a chance of victory.

In the Guanzhong Plain, if our army is not inferior in numbers, we may use the foot formation used by the former Han Dynasty to attack the Xiongnu, and combine it with the military formation techniques of the Tang Dynasty.

The central army deployed four layers of bows, crossbows, spears, and sharp swords, and light cavalry lined up on both wings to meet the enemy.

Fazheng nodded slightly and kept it in mind.

[It can be said that the Tang Dynasty spent a long time conquering and encroaching on this old friend of the Western Turks step by step.

Fortunately, the rewards obtained in the end were quite generous: more than 400,000 yuan for his people and animals.

Of course, the greater reward was the expansion of territory. From the Western Regions to the Aral Sea, the Tang Dynasty added the Mengchi Protectorate and the Kunling Protectorate.

The dividing line between the two governor's mansions is the Chu River. The name of this river comes from the Chu land in China.

This river, now located in Kyrgyzstan, has a story about strong men.

This river was called Saihe River before the Western Han Dynasty.

In the early years of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu who had been crippled started internal strife. Huhanxie Chanyu surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and Zhizhi Chanyu expanded to the west.

Seeing Hu Hanxie enter the Han Dynasty as an official, Zhi Zhi followed the idea of ​​I wonder if no one wants this territory? and began to encroach on Hu Hanxie's territory.

Unexpectedly, Hu Hanxie soon returned to the Western Regions with the Han army and wiped out all those who dared to show their teeth to the Han.

Zhizhi was unwilling to run away again, but before running away, he did something important:

He wrote a letter and sold it to Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty to release his son. Then, perhaps to vent his anger, he killed the Han envoy Gu Ji and fled to Kangju.

Zhi Zhi is determined to work hard here. He wants to develop with peace of mind, concentrate on construction, make a blockbuster, and become the master of the grassland again.

As a result, what he was waiting for was the punishment of the big man.

In the third year of Emperor Jianzhao of the Han Yuan Dynasty, Gan Yanshou, the governor of the Western Regions, and Chen Tang, the deputy captain, led an expeditionary force to directly attack Kangju.

Zhizhi Shanyu originally had a chance to escape, but otherwise how can we say that history is always surprisingly similar?

The Han soldiers are coming from afar and cannot attack for a long time. This was Zhizhi Shanyu's judgment.

But the Han army directly shattered Zhizhi Shanyu's dream with thunderous means.

The Han army surrounded him on all sides, first breaking through the outer city and then the inner city. Fires broke out on all sides and the sound of drums shook the sky. Zhizhi Shanyu was finally forced into the inner court and was beheaded by Du Xun, the acting prime minister of the army.

When Chen Tang returned to the capital to express his merits to Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, he wrote the memorial that will be passed down through the ages:

It is advisable to hang one's head among the barbarian mansions on the street to show the thousands of miles.

Anyone who openly offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away!

After this battle, Chen Tang ordered the Han army to build a city near the Sai River to guard the border.

Because there were many Chu people in the expeditionary force, in order to commemorate their hometown, the soldiers renamed the river Chu River.

The Tang Dynasty successfully regained this territory and used the river as the dividing line between the two governorates.

After nearly seven hundred years, the two dynasties completed a distant echo across time and space in Central Asia. 】

Liu Bei almost wanted to cry.

And this feeling was shared by everyone present.

Their strong men are not inferior to the prosperous Tang Dynasty of their descendants!

And they all gathered here, not only because of such a strong man, but also for such a strong man!

Zhang Fei waved his fist and had a clear understanding of his goal:

Even if we can't restore the territory to this point for a while, we still have to lead the troops to visit this place, find two people who can't open their eyes to see the blood, and pay homage to these ancestors!

Kong Ming knew this matter clearly, recalled it, and said with a helpless smile:

Seriously, Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang are also envoys.

Liu Bei calmed down his emotions and said slowly:

At that time, the two men led their escort troops on an envoy to the Western Regions. When Chen Tang saw the Chanyu Zhizhi, he proposed to take advantage of his unpreparedness to mobilize soldiers to garrison the fields and gather troops from the vassal states in the Western Regions to conduct a surprise attack.

Gan Yanshou agreed with Chen Tang's suggestion, but insisted on going to the court. Chen Tang believed that the opportunity to fight was fleeting and could not be so rigid.

Fa Zheng continued:

Hey, I didn't expect that Gan Yanshou fell ill first before the two people could reach a conclusion in their argument.

Chen Zigong was a decisive man. He pretended to pass on the Holy Mandate and in the name of longevity, he recruited soldiers from the army and Wusun chariots and other countries, gathered 40,000 troops, and destroyed Zhizhi Chanyu in one battle.

Fazheng shook his head in admiration, admiring Chen Tang's courage.

Fazheng cannot comment on such extraordinary things. After all, Cui Shi also criticized Emperor Xiaoyuan as the master of the Han Dynasty's fundamental disaster.

However, Fazheng still admired Emperor Xiaoyuan's tolerance for this matter:

An imperial edict was issued to exempt the two of them from the crime of correcting the imperial edict. Gan Yanshou was granted the title of Marquis of Yicheng and worshiped as the captain of Changshui; Chen Tang was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei and worshiped as the captain of Shesheng.

And each of them was rewarded with three hundred grains and one hundred catties of gold.

It's a pity that later generations did not include this river...

As soon as Liu Bei spoke, he paused, shook his head and said:

In the past, the Song Dynasty was relatively peaceful, the Mongols entered, and the Hexi Corridor withered. It is difficult to force it.

After all, Wen Mang made it clear that by tomorrow, all of Hexi would have become a desert.

Without land and water, survival is a problem, let alone defending this territory, which is too difficult for others.

Therefore, he made up his mind:

Now Hexi is still rich in water and grass, and we will never be content to lag behind others!

Everyone roared in agreement.

[A person cannot be unlucky forever, and this is the case with Su Dingfang.

After the Western Turks were destroyed in 658, Su Dingfang received the news the following year:

Someone rebelled again over there in Congling!

So after watching Xiao Lu become the male lead for the second time, Su Dingfang couldn't sit still again.

At this time, in Li Zhi's mind, Su Dingfang was quite reliable, so the monarch and his ministers hit it off immediately.

Su Dingfang was ordered to unite 10,000 horse infantry and 3,000 cavalry, all elite, and send troops to the Western Regions.

Writing to quell the chaos was actually the destruction of the country. It can be said that Su Dingfang set off excitedly.

What I didn't expect was that on the way to Qinghai, I met the Tibetan people.

At this time, the relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty was no longer what it used to be. After all, Songtsen Gampo and Li Shimin, the son-in-law, had been dead for several years.

We are all too familiar with the script here in Tubo. Songtsan Gampo died suddenly and his son was not old, so it was natural that the Prime Minister of the country, Galdong Zangyusong, would handle the affairs of the country. He also had a name that we are more familiar with: Ludong. Thumbs up.

Lu Dongzan's ambitions are well known to everyone. The annexation of Bailanqiang and the occupation of Tuyuhun were all things Tubo quietly did under his leadership.

In 656, after Lu Dongzan led an army of 120,000 to completely annex Bailanqiang, he stationed troops in Jishi Mountain in what is now Qinghai, preparing to sharpen his sword against the Tuyuhun tribe left behind after the country was destroyed.

Of course, it was impossible and would not inform the Tang Dynasty about this kind of thing, and Su Dingfang happened to go here in order to march in a hurry.

So the two sides met in Wuhai (now near Longyang Gorge in Hunan, Qinghai), and both sides were shocked.

The leader of the Tubo army was Yaxiang Dayan Mangbuzhi, who stationed 80,000 Tubo troops.

On Datang's side, Su Dingfang personally led the army, with 13,000 elite troops.

Su Dingfang, who was startled, ravaged the opponent several times. After the defeat without any suspense, he hurried towards the Western Region. He had to rush to put down the rebellion.

This battle was recorded in a short sentence in the history of the Tang Dynasty:

In Wuhai, a small number defeated a large number and defeated Tubo.

I don't even bother to write about the results, because it is very likely that Su Dingfang himself doesn't know.

On the contrary, Tubo recorded it in great detail, because this battle caused a lot of turmoil in Tubo:

Dayan Mangbuzhi died on the spot. Ludongzan was held accountable for this and was dismissed as prime minister on the grounds of old age. Umedai agreed with Tubo's new prime minister.

However, this unlucky guy was assassinated soon after, and Lu Dongzan returned to power, which was a major political event in Tubo.

But Su Dingfang didn't care about this. The famous general who had been idle for half his life only wanted to complete KPIs and never wanted to sit on the bench again.

This urgent mood drove Su Dingfang to launch a rapid march, traveling day and night, covering three hundred miles day and night.

So the rebellious Sijieque Jinduman was surprised to find that when he woke up, the Tang army had already laid siege to the city.

This Duman was a bachelor, and he surrendered out of the city. It was the easiest battle to destroy the country that Su Dingfang had ever fought. 】
