Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

[Maybe it’s because when I was young, I watched Li Jingxue’s surprise attack on Dingxiang at night, which left a deep impression on me.

As a result, Su Dingfang later also loved surprise attacks.

In Su Dingfang's plan, there should be a fierce battle in Congling, but looking at the hob meat that tied him up, Su Dingfang said that this was really unplanned.

The surrendered Du Man was held by Su Dingfang and brought back to Chang'an. Su Dingfang received meritorious service, Du Man received Chang'an household registration, and Li Zhi received the opportunity to offer prisoners to the Ancestral Temple. Everyone has a bright future.

After this battle, the area around Congling was completely pacified. In the following year, Tang officials made great efforts to redefine the administrative areas in the western part of the Tang Dynasty.

Because the territory is so large, this task is not easy. According to the records of the Tang Dynasty, the sixteen countries west of Khotan and east of Persia were divided into governors, with a total of eighty states and one hundred and ten counties. , one hundred and twenty-six military mansions.

It was also at this point that the Xiji Dao stele erected at Tongyuan Gate in the west of Chang'an during the Erfeng period completely became true.

This is nine thousand and nine hundred miles to the West Ji Road.

At this time in the Tang Dynasty, the straight-line distance from Chang'an to the Caspian Sea was 4,700 kilometers, or 10,400 Tang li. 】

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed as if a huge picture scroll was slowly unfolding in front of him, and at this time, the picture scroll was already exhausted.

After temporarily suppressing his inexplicable emotions, Li Shimin's first thought was to praise the young man:

To make the rebels surrender without a fight, it will establish the power of the country!

Su Dingfang was embarrassed to touch his cheek, but felt that there was nothing to boast about. Even as the light curtain said, he felt a little disappointed.

Leading elite troops, they marched quickly and launched a long-planned surprise attack.

As a result, the other side surrendered directly. There were only prisoners, no gains, and all the time was spent on the road!

Moreover, there was a hurried encounter on the road without even having time to take credit! Big loss!

I keep reminding myself in my heart that if there are flaws, I must be steady, but on the outside I am very humble:

It's not the power of Su Dingfang, but the power of His Majesty. It is based on trust and the power of Tang Dynasty to deter thieves.

Li Shimin immediately felt even more pleased. It is better to be young, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and know how to be humble.

On the other hand...

Before Li Shimin could glance over, Hou Junji lowered his head consciously.

Li Shi's face was filled with envy. Why was he so upright and risking the death of Xue Yantuo being brushed aside?

This story of Su Lie taking 10,000 horses back and forth to see the scenery was described in detail!

In the chapter of the old general Li Jing, he became the evil master Xu Maogong, and in the chapter of the young general Su Dingfang, he became a supporting role.

There are obviously three war gods of the early Tang Dynasty, why don't I have my name?

Li Shi almost wanted to look up to the sky and sigh.

Too lazy to see what the thirty-year-old Majesty was doing, Du Ruhui looked at the map carefully, and finally sighed and said:

It's still too far.

Fang Xuanling nodded:

It is not easy to directly control the Western Region through the four towns of Anxi.

It takes more than half a year to return from Congling from Chang'an, even with a fast horse. If there are changes in Central Asia, everything will be over when it reaches Chang'an.

Du Ruhui nodded:

Therefore, there are military governors.

Although I don't know that there will be any technological things in later generations, after thinking about it with Du Ruhui, the Jiedushi who was granted the power to make decisions based on circumstances is indeed the only method that the Tang Dynasty can come up with at present.

But in this way, the border troops became elites in all battles. However, due to the long-term peace in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, the armaments were weakened, and the Jieduzhi became a factor of instability for the empire.

Therefore, although the current territory is not yet there, the two of them have begun to worry about it in advance.

But the land in Tubo is fertile, but there is a shortage of people here.

Li Shimin had read several preliminary records submitted by Baiqisi, and without exception they all mentioned that Tubo was very short of personnel.

The merchants who traveled around had more or less dealt with Tubo, but among the merchants, they called them Yalong Qiang or Yalong Hu.

When doing business with them, the best sellers are born in the mouth.

Nowadays, later generations will call Tubo's military use of troops against Tuyuhuncan and Bailanqiang an annexation, which shows the lack of internal population.

Li Jing could keep up with Li Shimin's thoughts, so he said:

It seems that our measures against Tuyuhun have only caused Tubo to become powerful.

If we use troops against Tuyuhun again, will we clean up all the tribes in Qinghai and move their wives and children to Hexi?

Maybe station troops in Jishi Mountain in advance, or...

Li Jing looked at the map and finally selected another place:

Dafeichuan.

Li Shimin nodded, but then shook his head and whispered:

If you can show the enemy that he is weak, or lure him with raw words, destroy his army and capture his youth...

Du Ruhui has specially sorted out all the fragments Guangmu mentioned about Tibet.

So everyone knows now that the most important factor in Tubo's sudden rise is the climate.

The cold land becomes warm and the barren land becomes fertile, but people are not crops in the fields and cannot grow overnight.

And now it seems that Tubo's method of dealing with population poverty is also very simple: conquest and annexation.

Li Jing suggested to defend the pass with heavy troops and establish an invincible position, and then just plan it slowly.

Li Shimin was more simple and crude, and planned to find ways to cripple Tibet's capable soldiers, just like pulling the teeth of a tiger and cutting the claws of a jackal.

For a while, several generals fell into deep thought.

[The time continues to push back two years. The tribes in the Western Regions admire that someone once again stood up to stroke the tiger's beard in the Tang Dynasty.

The baby of this experience is the Huihe tribe.

This tribe was originally one of the tribes in Xueyantuo Khan.

In the 20th year of Zhenguan, Uihe Khan Tumidu responded to Erfeng's edict to destroy Xue Yantuo and raised troops to rebel against Xue Yantuo.

After the Xueyantuo Khanate was expelled, he took the initiative to proclaim himself a vassal to the Tang Dynasty, and became the general of Huaihua and the governor of Hanhai.

In 648, there was civil strife in Huihe, and Tumido was killed by his nephew. The Tang Dynasty took the initiative to support justice and quelled the civil strife, and designated Tumido's son Porun as the new general Zuo Xiaowei and the governor of Hanhai.

Porun appeared before us. Datang beat Xiao Lu, the silly pineapple khan, three times. Porun participated in two games and was a good comrade.

Porun died of illness in 661, and a similar story happened again. His nephew competed for the throne of He Khan, and then in order to show that he was powerful, he made a bold decision:

Attack the Tang Dynasty!

In Xiaodu's opinion, the Tang Dynasty's military strength this year should be stretched thin. After all, I heard that two battlefields were opened in the east at the same time:

Su Dingfang was busy in Goguryeo and Liu Rengui was gaining experience in Baekje. Datang should have no time to pay attention to him.

What Xiaodu longed for was the position of Governor of Hanhai, which was personally granted by the Tang Dynasty. Only with this position could he be regarded as the legitimate leader of Huihe.

Therefore, Xiaodu just wanted to cause some trouble and put some pressure on Datang.

He promised that as long as the position of Governor Hanhai is obtained, he will immediately become the most loyal dog in the Tang Dynasty.

But unfortunately, Xiaodu knew nothing about Datang's power.

Li Zhi did not accept this trick at all. When the war between Goguryeo and Baekje was in full swing, the Emperor took the initiative to open up a third battlefield, and once he took action, there were two armies.

On Tiele Road, Zheng Rentai was appointed as the general manager of the march, and Xue Rengui was his deputy. This road was the main frontal attack.

Xiao Siye was the marching commander and Sun Renshi was his deputy along the Xian'e Road. They advanced to the southwest to block Xiaodu's retreat.

This battle was not only Xue Rengui's fame battle, but also the Tang army's humiliation battle. 】

Got it, another general star.

Zhang Fei has lost the energy to roll his eyes:

All the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty grew up in the ground or something? They can't finish harvesting every crop.

Kong Ming laughed:

With such a territory, there are naturally hundreds of thousands of soldiers capable of fighting.

It would be strange if famous generals could not appear in large numbers.

But why is it called a battle of shame...

Kong Ming couldn't understand.

Even if he only looked at the paper data, he had only one evaluation of this event:

mob.

Of course, it's not that Huihe can't do it, but because the Tang Dynasty has been fighting for many years, I'm afraid the Huihe cavalry only know how sharp the swords of the Tang Dynasty warriors are.

This Uighur Khan who usurped the throne might be able to force the Uighur cavalry to go to the battlefield.

But it is absolutely impossible to force the Uighur cavalry to die.

Then why does it become a battle of shame?

There's no way the two Tang armies can merge in order to attack each other, right? That was too bizarre.

[When talking about the Anshi Rebellion, we emphasized that the Tang Dynasty valued military merit, so many people realized their dreams of the Tang Dynasty with the help of military merit, and Xue Rengui was one of the best.

Xue Li, courtesy name Rengui, had a rich ancestor, but his father's early death led to family decline. Xue Rengui had to farm to make a living in his early years.

His ancestors were either famous generals or officials, but when he came here, he had to deal with crops every day, which made Xue Rengui always feel that his life was in danger.

Although Kong is good at martial arts, he is obsessed with Feng Shui. He studies the art of Feng Shui every day and wants to change his destiny. He is very superstitious.

It is difficult to change your destiny according to Feng Shui, but if you have a good wife, it can really make your life smooth.

Xue Rengui's wife, Mrs. Liu, saw that her husband was almost thirty years old. He had no physique and was skilled in bow and horse, but today he studied fortune telling, tomorrow he studied fortune telling, and the day after tomorrow he studied fortune telling. She was anxious in her heart, so she persuaded:

If a husband has great talents, it does not mean that he has bad luck, but that he has to meet the right opportunity. Now that the emperor is personally conquering Liaodong, isn't this an opportunity for the husband?

After you become famous on the battlefield and return home rich and wealthy, it is not too late to look at Feng Shui.

Xue Rengui was so praised that he immediately put down his hoe to dig his father's grave, took his sword and bow to join the army, and rushed to Liaodong.

In the Battle of Goguryeo, Xue Rengui was dressed in white and looked very coquettish on the battlefield. He was strolling in and out of the enemy's formation, which shocked Erfeng:

This guy is more coquettish than me, he must be a good talent!

After returning to Beijing, Xue Rengui, who was very happy, encountered the same problem as Su Dingfang. He was appointed as the Zhonglang General and guarded the Xuanwu Gate. If you read it, he would show you the north gate of the palace.

This guard room lasted for ten years, but Xue Rengui had to work harder. The emperor was about to move, so he had to follow him and look at the north gate in another place.

This year, Li Zhi went to the Wannian Palace to escape the summer heat. Unfortunately, a flash flood broke out in the middle of the night, and the guards fled in the face of the flood.

Li Zhi's soul was in great danger: My life is at an end!

Xue Rengui was overjoyed: My name is here!

Relying on Xue Rengui's desperate warning, Li Zhi successfully ran out of Wannian Palace in the middle of the night and avoided the fate of drowning.

Li Zhi felt that Xue Rengui was very reliable, so he asked Xue Rengui to look at the door for another five years.

Xue Rengui estimated that people would be stupid, but fortunately, unlike Erfeng, Li Zhi could really remember people's names.

In 658 and 659, Li Zhi sent troops to harass Goguryeo for two consecutive years.

At this time, Li Zhi remembered that his savior seemed to be from the Liaodong battlefield, so he issued an edict to stuff Xue Rengui in.

Xue Rengui showed great bravery, so in 661, when Xiao Du became a demon, Xue Rengui was finally promoted from a janitor to a deputy general.

Xue Rengui burst into tears. Being a general in the Tang Dynasty was too embarrassing!

But fortunately, it’s finally time to take off! 】
