Chapter 131 Li Shimin's ambitions
After conquering Naqu City, in just one Naqu department, Liu Tong and Xunxiang rescued more than 3,000 Han slaves. The Beiwei army and the Subi tribe, along with the rescued Han slaves, emptied the entire city of Nagqu.
After more than half a month of rest, Liu Tong selected more than 500 Han slaves from the rescued Han slaves and added them to the Beiwei army.
The Subi tribe also received a large amount of food and wealth, and the morale of the soldiers of the Subi tribe was also high.
The morale of the Beiwei army and the combined forces of the Subi tribe was high, and the offensive was quite fierce. Usually night attacks are carried out by the Betrayal Army, first clearing the enemy sentries at fixed points, and then the crowd rushes in. When the enemy reacted, the Beiwei army had already applied the decapitation tactic, and the soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers, and they only resisted sporadically if they wanted to.
After continuously eliminating six or seven Tibetan tribes, Liu Tong's department already had more than 8,000 war horses and more than 5,000 elites. This is still the result of Liu Tong and Xunxiang's repeated careful selection of soldiers, if the threshold is lowered a little, their troops will grow to more than 10,000 people.
It is also on this day on the seventh day of the twelfth month of the fourth year of Wude. Under the guidance of Subi Quzhen, 1,500 soldiers of the Beiwei Army and more than 500 soldiers of the Subi tribe, trekking through mountains and rivers, braving the bitter cold, arrived at Suva Quluo (meaning the land of the Huang family) more than 350 miles east of Luobu Rula.
Su Va, Qu Luobu, led by the little queen, then joined Liu Tong and their team. Su Va Quluo is notoriously strong in combat effectiveness, since childhood martial arts, with poisonous snakes and beasts as a companion, fists, feet, knives, guns, bows and arrows are all fine, running in the mountains and forests like flying, often one person can Tubo soldiers several people, the addition of this elite soldier has greatly increased Liu Tong's strength, and the momentum is even greater.
The Lobulula Valley, where the Subi Department is located, has become the base camp of the Beiwei army, and a large number of captured materials, cattle, sheep and horses have been transported to the Lobulula Valley.
At this time, the former minister of the Tibetan Emperor Thongmi Aru, who was located in the city of Luo, learned the news. However, Tunmi Aru did not take it to heart, he thought that it was just a group of lowly slaves who wanted to rebel, and this kind of thing, in fact, was staged all over the place and tribe in Tibet.
Because of Tunmi Alu's mistake, Tubo also missed the opportunity to nip the danger in the bud. By the time the Tibetan court found out that something was wrong, Liu Tong and the forces of seeking the appearance had already been completed, such as La Rob becoming a nightmare for the Tubo people.
……
In late December of the fourth year of Wude, Li Shimin secretly entered Chang'an. It has been almost three months since Li Shimin defeated the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan outside the city of Dingyang. Li Yuan officially issued an order to order Li Shimin to be stationed in Taiyuan to pacify Mo Nan, and in this case, Li Shimin was not happy.
He was not willing to be a great general, he wanted to be the position of the East Palace. Li Yuan added his official position, he didn't care, adding 3,000 households, Li Shimin didn't care either. Li Yuan increased his authority, and he didn't care either.
But let him live in Taiyuan for a long time, far away from the center, which made Li Shimin unhappy. A general who has been guarding for a long time is not what Li Shimin wants.
Li Shimin, who was disguised as an ordinary trader, came to Chang'an City, with a yellow beard sticking to his face, and Li Shimin, dressed as a cypriot, looked at the bustling crowd and was full of emotion.
Chang'an West City is known as the world's first market, bringing together the world's wealth and goods, and the customs and customs of various countries and regions can be seen here. Hu people dressed in different languages, a dazzling array of treasures and specialties from all over the world, entertainers performing amazing juggling and magic tricks, spitting fire and stepping on the nail bed, and using ventriloquist skills to summon a flock of birds to circle and dance overhead, are breathtaking.
Of course, the weather in December, Chang'an is also full of ice, but the cold can't stop people's enthusiasm. In particular, the Western Turks were defeated and lost control of the region east of the Ile River valley in the Western Regions. At this time, orchids from various countries and ethnic groups from the Western Regions dance in different styles at the entrance of the store, which can be called a major scenery in the West Market.
Li Shimin watched the two orchids dance to the beautiful music.
These two orchids are really frost-resistant, wearing only half of the bandeau bra, revealing a flat belly, twisting their waists and limbs very flexibly, and swaying willow branches in the dancing wind.
Such a landscape in China's feudal era is estimated to be only seen in the Tang Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, the great defense of etiquette and religion really rose, and dared to show his belly on the street? Wait for the dipping pig cage to come!
In fact, although there are many pedestrians in the market, everyone is busy working for the belly, how can they be in the mood to watch the scenery and dance! Only people like Li Shimin would stop and watch, and then these two orchids lifted their skirts, revealing their white thighs, and begged for money from the people around them!
Li Shimin was in a very good mood, and casually poured out a large handful of copper coins from Lei Yongji's money bag, and without counting them, he threw them towards the two orchids.
Although Li Shimin disguised himself as a Hu businessman and behaved like a lustful Hu businessman, in the face of absolutely familiar people, even if Li Shimin turned into ashes, he would be thought of by others.
"Why did he come back?" At this time, a carriage stopped not far from Li Shimin. The carriage quietly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the people in the carriage took advantage of this gap to quietly look at Li Shimin.
The person in the carriage was none other than Wei Ting, the former prince of the East Palace. The Jingzhao Wei clan was one of the most important scholar families in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, there were a total of 20 prime ministers, whose influence spread throughout the country from Jingzhao, and there was a popular saying among the people, "Chengnan Weidu, go to Tianqi Five".
Wei Ting, like the eldest grandson Wuji, is a diehard loyalist of their respective camps. The eldest grandson Wuji is loyal to Li Shimin, while Wei Ting is loyal to Li Jiancheng.
The carriage stopped on the side of the road for a while and no one noticed, but once it was a long time, it would definitely attract the attention of others. Wei Ting instructed the coachman in front of him: "Go to the Lifang Hutong in front!" ”
The carriage started slowly, and at this time, Wei Ting suddenly saw a carriage with a familiar sign.
Although the carriage was low-key and luxurious, Wei Ting could easily see that it was actually a carriage from Pei's.
Since the Han and Wei dynasties, the Guanlong area has always been the origin of the traditional culture of the Han nationality, especially since the funeral rebellion at the end of the Jin Dynasty, many literati and scholars have taken refuge here, and the northern ethnic minorities have taken refuge in the Central Plains, and the number is also small, in order to maintain their long-term rule, whether militarily or politically, they rely on the Han nationality who account for the majority of the population, they must and must first of all obtain cultural identity with the landlord class in the Guanlong area, and must establish a strong political and military alliance with them. It is in this historical context that the so-called four surnames of Guanzhong were born. The "Four Surnames of Guanzhong" is Wei Pei Liuxue, who was the main leader of the scholar clan in the Guanzhong region in the middle of the Tang Dynasty and had great fame in the Guanzhong area. Mainly Jingzhao Wei, Hedong Xue, Hedong Pei, and Hedong Liu, these four surnames are used to become the "four surnames of Guanzhong".
The four surnames of Guanzhong, like Dongzong Wuwang, are all well-known family lords in the world, and they have both in-law relations, cooperative relations, and of course, competitive relationships!
Wei Ting quietly instructed a servant in the carriage: "Don't look at that Hu Shang who is watching the dance?" ”
The little guy nodded and said, "I see, keep an eye on him, and see which member of the Pei family he will meet!" ”
The little guy jumped out of the carriage.
After the little guy left, Wei Ting felt that something was wrong. Li Shimin is now the general of the Zhu State, the general of Anbei, and the general of Bingzhou, and according to the system, Li Shimin should not return without an edict.
However, he didn't get any news and rumors that Li Yuan wanted to recall Li Shimin, which made Wei Ting feel puzzled.
After a short time, the little guy came back and said, "Ah Lang, it seems that the one who saw that Hu Shang is Pei Xiangguo!" ”
"Haha......" Wei Ting threw a golden bean over. The little guy was quick and caught it in an instant.
Wei Ting said: "Find an opportunity to listen to what they have to say, if you can find out useful news, I will have a big reward!" ”
"Thank you, Alang!" The little guy turned around and disappeared into the vast sea of people.
Wei Ting said to the coachman: "Go to the East Palace!" ”
……
The biggest convenience of Datang Tongli Qian Zhuang is not the convenience of business, but the convenience of bribery, a thin piece of paper, can be 10,000 guan, can also be 100,000 guan, can also be 1 million guan. Of course, the premise is that you have the money.
Li Shimin looked at this 100,000 yuan ticket with great emotion. Li Shimin slowly handed the money ticket to Pei Lian.
Li Shimin looked at Pei Lin with an expectant look and said, "Please Pei Xiangguo!" ”
Pei Xiao glanced at the numbers on the money ticket quietly, but his face was as unmoved as a mountain: "His Royal Highness King Qin, have you ever played Go?"
Li Shimin smiled and said: "I learned it when I was a teenager, but I still play more Shuanglu on weekdays!" ”
Pei Lin said lightly: "There is a term in Go, called Golden Horn Silver Edged Grass Belly ......"
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Well, I've heard of it!" ”
"The shape of the world is advantageous, with horns, edges and belly...... Longyou, Ganliang, located in the northwest; Guanzhong, Bashu, even across the southwest, are two corners; The land east of the river, sitting north and facing south, is for one side; Hebei is a horse and a flat river, Henan is high in the west and low in the east, and it is attacked on all sides, which is the ...... of grass belly"
Li Shimin laughed and said: "Pei Xiangguo, this metaphor is very wonderful!" However, is this statement too outdated, and now Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong have all been awarded the ......"
Just speaking of this, Li Shimin suddenly realized.
Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng are also fighting for the world, but the difference is just different.
Of course, the most important thing is that Li Shimin heard what Pei Lin meant.
Guanzhong is actually the big belly of the Li Tang court.
Once the silver color is lost, this belly will be slaughtered.
Pei Lin did not agree with Li Shimin's return to Chang'an at this time, but should grab the silver border and seek the golden horn again.
PS: Finally the code is out. Again, I'm sorry, I can't add anything more today. More tomorrow!
