Chu Wei came back, came back with a scar and half a life, three of the five people who accompanied him died, and they became three jars of ashes, the second, third and fourth have all become ashes, and the fifth and the guide who led the way are not dead, but the fifth child broke an arm, the guide lost an ear, and none of them left the land of Goguryeo intact, and what they desperately brought back was a herb, a herb that grew in a village in the interior of Goguryeo.

Chu Wei didn't say much about the specific situation, but when Suning saw Chu Wei, Chu Wei's spirit was almost about to collapse, and when Chu Wei recovered a little, Suning went to ask him again, a man like steel, but he cried more than a girl, he said the cause of death of the second, the third and the fourth, said the arm of the fifth and the ear of the guide, and also said his own scars, and also said that the carrier pigeon that turned into pigeon soup at the critical moment saved the three of them.

It is said that people infected with the plague can be cured as long as they eat the medicinal juice boiled from this herb, and the Goguryeo people will not sit still, and when Chu Wei and others rushed to that legendary paradise when they heard the news, the previous order had been restored, and it was guarded by some people, and some people lived and lived the life of a village.

However, they are very repulsive to outsiders, outsiders are generally not allowed to enter, Chu Wei and the others took out all their property to be allowed to enter, and on the premise that the second and fifth children were infected with the plague, they obtained two herbs, and then survived. Being cured, Chu Wei was greatly surprised, and finally obtained herbs that could cure the plague, he wanted to get some and take them away, but these herbs were very strictly guarded.

After a series of schemes were to obtain these herbs, the second, third, and fourth sacrificed one after another, and the fifth originally planned to sacrifice himself, but was saved by the guide and lost an arm, but his life was saved. Chu Wei was injured a lot. However, they did not endanger their lives, and after fleeing all the way, they finally fled back to the territory of Datang.

He lost three subordinates in a row, and the only one who survived lost an arm. Basically lost its combat effectiveness. How could Chu Wei not be sad?

As for that magical herb. Suning handed it over to Sun Simiao, although Datang himself had developed a special medicine to deal with the plague, but this herb could actually deal with the plague in that environment. Maybe it's really a special medicinal material, and it will also be of good help to some medical research in the Tang Dynasty in the future, and it is not yet known what kind of medicinal material this herb is, whether it grows in the Central Plains, if not, it may be a specialty of Goguryeo.

Sun Simiao began to produce a large number of special drugs to prepare for the terrible plague, although Goguryeo has a similar Xanadu Storage, but looking at Chu Wei and their encounters, Suning also understands that the group of people definitely does not intend to save others, people's selfishness is very terrible, you don't let me live, you don't want to live, this kind of consciousness, almost everyone has it, so when can that Xanadu be stored Zài, Suning questioned.

As for the situation in Goguryeo and other problems, Suning didn't want to explore more, so that the soldiers who were ready to land and sweep the entire Liaodong Peninsula took medicine one after another, regardless of whether it was as useful as a vaccine, but at least this special medicine would bring psychological comfort to the soldiers, and the treatment of a hundred people would be a hundred recoveries, and the effectiveness of this special medicine had been confirmed, and as for the herbs that Chu Wei desperately brought back, Sun Simiao also took them to study, and at present, it seems that they do not seem to grow in the Central Plains.

Divide the eight thousand soldiers into hundreds of squads and go ashore together to sweep the Goguryeo people on the Liaodong Peninsula separately, those people Suning doesn't plan to give them special medicine, they are all disgusting guys, wait until they reoccupy the Liaodong Peninsula, and then contact to see if they can find Quangai Suwen These people, of course, Suning hopes that Quangai Suwen is dead, then the entire Goguryeo generals will become the territory of the Tang Dynasty without blood, if Quangai Suwen is not dead, then there is a final decisive battle.

With artillery in hand, this qiē is already a foregone conclusion.

Is Anshi City, which was originally unbreakable, still unbreakable? Has the fortifications of the city, which was once impregnable, now been crushed by the plague? Is Izumi Gai Suwen still alive? It's all a problem.

Two months after the Tang Dynasty retreated from the Liaodong Peninsula, with the help of special medicine, it re-landed on the Liaodong Peninsula at the end of November in the winter to carry out a sweeping campaign, swept away the plague first, and then re-consolidated the defensive line, and then wrote a report to Li Erma, informing Li Ermaxi that the Tang Dynasty could return to the Liaodong Peninsula, and asked Li Ermaxi to arrange for the army to arrive in Yingzhou and the Liaodong Peninsula, and prepare to advance in two ways, clean up the Goguryeo people, and then clean up Silla and Baekje, and pick it all up in one go. Don't waste a great opportunity.

It just so happens that the Tang Dynasty can give the special medicine for the treatment of the plague to Silla and Baekje, so that their people will have a good impression of the Tang Dynasty, after that, the Tang Dynasty's attack and conquest will achieve good results, and it can also appease the local people in a short time, and the means of conquest used are still the same as always, those who surrender are given Datang citizenship, and those who do not surrender are accepted as slaves on the spot, becoming the main labor force in the construction of the local area, and the strategy of two-level differentiation is used to divide the local people into two factions, one faction can only firmly rely on the Tang Dynasty, And the faction that is classified as slaves will hate those who become citizens of Datang even more than they hate Datang.

They will forever tear each other down and lose the ability to unite against the Tang Dynasty.

After that, it is the war against the Japanese state, after cleaning up the Korean Peninsula, it is necessary to prepare for the war against the Japanese state, it is just a good time, clean them all in one go, don't wait for the next war, the war of the Japanese country also happens to let the North Sea Navy and the East China Sea Navy show their strengths, let the new weapons and artillery show their strengths, as far as the intelligence of the Japanese state shows that since the Tang Dynasty marched into Goguryeo, the Japanese state has been secretly preparing for war, on the surface it is still the same as before, but the sailors of the Japanese state have already taken action.

The Japanese kingdom was wiped out in one go, and then the war in the east came to an end. Datang can develop the Northeast and Goryeo's hometown with peace of mind, and can focus all its energy on the strategy of westward expansion, which may be easier and perhaps easier.

The strategy of westward expansion has been determined, and the first step is to help the Persian Empire defeat the attack of the Arab Empire, stabilize the battle line, so that the Persian Empire can stabilize their own territory, and properly reorganize and train the incompetent army of the Persian Empire, so that the Persian army can independently compete with the Arab army even without the assistance of the Tang army, of course, this is only the military side. Make them stronger.

Other than that. Datang definitely didn't do good deeds, it definitely didn't bring the Persian Empire back to life, it didn't let his old man talk about youthful madness, and it didn't respect the elderly. Rather, it is necessary to grasp the information of the Persian and Arab empires, and even the Roman Empire further west. You can trade with them. And for the Persian Empire, we are going to bully him, except that the army gives him a certain amount of training. Officials and political forces must do everything they can to infiltrate, infiltrate, and infiltrate.

In terms of commerce and culture, because the Persian Empire itself has a certain civilization of Cheng dù, and this civilization is not lost to the Central Plains civilization in some Cheng dù, so the suppressive force of civilization needs military force and commercial power to promote, and vigorously promote the silk and other gorgeous items of the Tang Dynasty.

When the time comes, let the Arab army help eliminate the Persian army that was trained, and then the Tang Empire will take the opportunity to take the Persian Empire, destroy it, annex it, and directly march into Central Asia and West Asia to complete the second step; As for the third step, it will not be solved in a while, the third step is the attack and embezzlement of the Arab Empire, if you want to get in touch with the farthest footsteps of your predecessors, you must open up the road of communication with the Roman Empire.

During the Han Dynasty, the Chinese reached the eastern border of the Roman Empire at that time, and had good mutual contacts with the Roman Empire, which was the footsteps of the predecessors, and the descendants should try to open it up, and go further, to see the Europa region in Suning's mouth, as well as the brilliant and brilliant Greek civilization.

Isam, who was full of joy and felt that there was great hope for the restoration of the former glory of the Empire, naturally did not know that he was absolutely luring the wolf into the room, and it was easy to send the Buddha to the Buddha, since the Tang Dynasty came, he did not plan to leave so easily, and Chai Shao also had reason to believe that even if the army of the Tang Dynasty thwarted the army of the Arab Empire and defeated the famous general Khalid, the Persian Empire itself was unable to continue the glory created by the Tang Dynasty.

This is a war between two powerful emerging empires, and it has nothing to do with a dying empire, the Sassanid Dynasty, which has been corroded by moths, has come to his end, and he still needs to save zài for a while, but not forever, but when the Tang Dynasty lets it be saved, he can only save zài until when.

Leaving the land of the Western Regions, after hundreds of years, the footsteps of the Han people once again stepped into the road that has been lost for an unknown amount of time, and even at the moment of leaving the border, Chai Shao has a fluttering feeling, he is familiar with poetry and books, and knows that the so-called Great Qin State is the Roman country in these people's mouths, thousands of miles away, when the Han Dynasty was the Han Dynasty, the Han people had arrived there and visited the Roman State, and after that, it had interrupted most of the exchanges for nearly a thousand years.

The powerful and rich Roman Empire was also divided into two empires, the eastern and western empires, the western empire has been wiped out, and now only the eastern empire remains, although it is still strong, but compared with its predecessor, it is not a little worse, and the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty's territory now surpasses any moment in history, reaching the border of the steppe in the north, the edge of the sea in the south, the east in the east of Liaodong, and the west in the west of the Western Regions, which is twice the land of the former Sui and more, and it is also the largest moment in history.

Moreover, Chai Shao believes that this process will not end, the Tang people will not be satisfied, the emperor will not be satisfied, the generals will not be satisfied, the soldiers will not be satisfied, the world map hangs on the emperor's bedside every day, on the screen of the staff headquarters, and every general's home has a world map, where is the land that no one occupies, where is the land that is occupied but very rich, where there is wealth, where there is land, where there is the future and the dawn.

In the past, people were sitting in wells and watching the sky, thinking that the land under their feet was the world, the boundary was the eight wildernesses, and the unification of the Central Plains was the unification of the whole world, but how big the world was, where are the eight wildernesses? Compared with the world, the land of the Central Plains is only a small piece, and the whole world, as well as the vast sea, when will it be conquered and occupied?

Maybe there will be no such opportunity in his life, but Chai Shao still wants to take that first step by himself, this first step is the first step full of meaning, the first step of the Tang Dynasty to march towards more ancient civilizations, and the first step of the first collision between the civilizations of the Han civilization and other outstanding nations, which is destined to become an important milestone in world history.
