Chapter 1001: Two Survivors
If you want to complete the task, you must first understand the history of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, no need to check the information, according to Wang Anshi's memory, Shen Long will find out the information about the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.
In the fourteenth year of Tang Zhenguan (640), Hou Jun set up Gaochang in Pingping, set up the Xizhou Protectorate in his place, governed in Xizhou, and set up the Anxi Protectorate in Jiaohe City in September of the same year to target the Western Turks. The first protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate was Qiao Shiwang, and then succeeded by Guo Xiaoke, at the beginning there were only thousands of troops, and in the twenty-second year of Zhenguan (648), Guo Xiaoke defeated the Qiuci Kingdom and moved the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to Qiuci.
In November of the second year of Tang Gaozong's Xianqing (657), Su Dingfang settled the rebellion of Ashina Helu at the level of broken leaves, thus pacifying the Western Turks, and moved the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate back to Gaochang's hometown, and in May of the third year of Xianqing (658), the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate was moved to Qiuzi, and the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate was upgraded to the Dadu Protectorate.
Subsequently, the territory under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate continued to expand, and began to form a tug-of-war with Tibet, during which a large number of famous generals such as Pei Xingjian and Wang Xiaojie emerged.
During the reign of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty (756-758), in order to pacify the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang government recruited troops in Hexi and Longyou, and the Anxi soldiers formed the "Anxi Xing Battalion" to suppress the rebellion and help recover the two capitals; However, due to the internal transfer of most of the garrisons in Anxi, Beiting, Hexi and Longyou, Tubo took the opportunity to occupy Longyou and Hexi one after another, so the passage between Anxi and the Tang Dynasty was interrupted, but the left-behind troops in the four towns of Anxi still held alone.
In the first year of Suzong (760), the Longyou military town was mostly captured by Tubo, and in the first year of Daizong Guangde (763), the Tubo regime took advantage of the weakness of the Tang Dynasty to take Longyou Road, and it was the winter of the year, Tubo captured the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, and evacuated half a month later.
After more than ten years, Tubo took Hexi Zhiliang, Gan and other prefectures, Tubo's military operations, so that the Anxi Protectorate faced many difficulties, but there were still the old generals Li Yuanzhong to guard the North Garden, Guo Xin to guard the Anxi Protectorate, the two towns and Shatuo, the Uighurs depended on each other, and Tubo could not be attacked for a long time; In the first year of the establishment of Tang Dezong (780), Li Yuanzhong and Guo Xin sent envoys to intersect the Taoist affairs, and Dezong rewarded them, and named Li Yuanzhong as the protector of the capital of Beiting, and Guo Xin as the protector of the capital of Anxi.
"And the Sangelu and the Baifu Turks were attached to the Uighurs, and the Uighurs invaded them. Tubo because of Gelu and the people in white clothes attacked the North Court...... In the sixth year of Zhenyuan...... The Uighur Gyangas fought unfavorably with the Tibetans, who rushed to attack the northern court. The people of Beiting suffered from the Uighur demands, and they were loyal to the Shatuo chieftain Zhu Xie and surrendered to Tibet. …… Anxi was rejected, and he didn't know how to survive, and Xizhou was still stubbornly defended by Tang. Shen Long silently recited the record in the "Zizhi Tongjian", which is also the last record of the Anxi Protectorate in the official history.
"O Qarluk!" Shen Long recited this somewhat familiar name, the tenth year of Tianbao, that is, thirty-nine years before this story, the right Yulin general, the four towns of Anxi Jiedu envoy Gao Xianzhi led the army and the Great Food Army to meet in Talas, the Tang Army of less than 20,000 people and the Great Food Army of up to 200,000 people fought fiercely for five days without winning or losing.
However, at this time, at the important moment when the two sides were at a standoff, the Grolu troops in the Tang army suddenly rebelled and attacked the Tang army with Dashi, Gao Xianzhi was defeated and fled at night. Due to the obstruction of the road, Bahan's troops blocked the way in front of them, and the men and horses blocked the road, but fortunately, Li Siye, the general of the Right Weiwei, raised a big stick and opened a bloody road for him, so he was able to escape.
If it weren't for Ge Lulu's betrayal, the winner of the Battle of Talas might be the Tang Dynasty, Shen Long had always regretted this when he was reading the history books, if he wanted to help the Tang Dynasty regain its glory this time, then Tubo and Ge Lulu were enemies that had to be dealt with, right? In that case, I'll clean you up together this time.
Yes, this task should not be easy, right? In 790 A.D., the Tang Dynasty has entered a period of weakness, the domestic Tang Dezong spent a huge amount of money to welcome the Buddha bones, Langya County King, Sikong, Tongzhong Shumen under the Ping Zhangshi, and Youzhou Lulong two Jiedu envoy and Ziqing Jiedu made Li Na fight in Dizhou.
The territory of the Tang Dynasty itself is overwhelmed, so there is still the strength to help Guo Xin and Yang Zhengu who were trapped in Anxi like Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty sent a large army to rescue Geng Gong back then.
Therefore, it seems that he can only fight alone in Anxi, relying on the remnants of the Tang army in Qiuzi and Xizhou to defeat powerful enemies such as Tubo and Gelulu.
Guo Xin and Yang Zhengu are facing an even more severe situation than Li Yunlong's original, Li Yunlong's enemies are certainly strong, but they are in the Central Plains, surrounded by ordinary people who are devoted to themselves, and they can rely on these ordinary people to continuously obtain manpower and material supplies, and finally drag the little devil down.
And Guo Xin and Yang Zhenggu are in the Western Regions where different races live together, when the Central Plains is strong and the Anxi Protectorate rules the Western Regions, they may submit to the Tang Dynasty, but when the Tang Dynasty begins to weaken, they will change their previous respect and show their fangs, if they want to use the power of these people, how easy is it.
However, it was not completely out of the question, although the mixed living of different races was not good for the Anxi army, but it was also difficult for the Tibetans, Qarluqs, and Uighurs to completely rule this land, as long as there was a suitable strategy, it was not impossible for these tribes to return to the Anxi Protectorate.
Since he had decided to enter this world, Shen Long seized the opportunity to start collecting information, Shen Long browsed all the historical materials he could find about this period, and also went to the northwest to find the old sites of Qiuzi and Xizhou for a careful tour, and even went to Yang Xigu's temple to make a sacrifice.
In addition to these, he also went to find the materials of the Age of Discovery, and the Western colonizers repeatedly achieved the conquest of one foreign race after another with a very small number of people.
After completing all the preparations, Shen Long chose to enter the transfer world of "The Last Time of Datang Mobei", and a white light flashed, and Shen Long came from 2019 to 790 AD.
It was dark in front of him, his brain was a little dizzy, and the thick smell of blood kept penetrating Shen Long's nose, and he struggled to open his eyes, only to see corpses everywhere around, some wearing the same Tang Army armor as him, and thieves dressed as aliens.
"Rich! Get rich! Get rich! Suddenly, there was a cry of excitement in his ears, and a man with a weathered face was putting together bags of copper coins, making a clattering sound.
A smile appeared on the corner of Shen Long's mouth, the two survivors of the Tang Anxi Army, the two protagonists of this story have finally arrived.
