Chapter 1149 Why Han’er Doesn’t Like It
"Do you think Li Xiang is too complacent?"
A servant said dissatisfiedly: "We sent him out of the palace earlier, and we hummed coldly all the way!"
"That's His Majesty's confidant, don't complain, so you won't be punished."
Someone kindly reminded me.
"Ahem!"
Wang Zhongliang came out of the hall, and said with a straight face: "Stop muttering, misfortune comes out!"
Everyone was silent.
Wang Zhongliang stood there, and said for a long time: "You can't be arrogant."
These are the emperor's previous words.
Wang Zhongliang thinks it’s better to be stupid, because if you are stupid, you won’t think about human affairs. If you don’t think about human affairs, you will have a lot less trouble and anxiety.
He was about to turn around and go in when someone said, "Someone is coming, hey! Why are you running?"
The two servants ran up and down out of breath, but Wang Zhongliang was moved when he saw the joy on their faces.
The empress is not in a good mood. If there is good news, I think I can feel relieved.
"Great victory!"
Wang Zhongliang was about to ask, when the emperor's voice came from the hall, "Where is the victory? Come in and talk!"
Empress Wu said happily: "Where can it be? It must be Wulang and Ping'an."
Two servants rushed in.
"Your Majesty, Empress, Your Highness and Duke Zhao defeated Lu Dongzan, and Lu Bu's messenger arrived outside the palace."
"Win?" Li Zhi suddenly got up, "Quick, call me."
"Is it a big victory?"
The empress was in a hurry, but pretended to be calm.
Everyone knows the strategic advantage brought by the victory of this battle, which is an advantage that can affect the fate of the country!
The prime ministers arrive first.
"Your Majesty, the messenger will be here soon."
Li Ji was trembling with excitement.
"I am old, and my only worry is Tubo. If I can win a big victory over Tubo, I will feel at ease when I die now."
Liu Rengui said: "Yes! Tubo is the greatest threat to the Tang Dynasty. If this battle is won, the Tang Dynasty will look around, and it will be invincible..."
A feeling of solitary seeking defeat permeated among the prime ministers.
Invincible!
The messenger is here.
After saluting, the messenger said: "In August, our army encountered a Tubo army of 300,000..."
Li Zhi held the Lubu, and couldn't help being shocked.
300,000, almost three times the army of the Tang Dynasty.
Empress Wu clenched her teacup tightly.
Her brother and son are in the army!
"The scouts and rangers of the two armies fought for several days, and each other won and lost."
Li Ji nodded slightly, "Tubo is a powerful army in this world."
"Lu Dongzan had already bought people from the Gongyue Department. During the scouting war, the people from the Gongyue Department also participated, and they took Lu Dongzan's secret spies back. Then this person persuaded Ashinapol to make an appointment during the war. The Gongyue Department suddenly broke out and attacked the Tang army."
"The foreign race is really unbelievable!"
Liu Rengui's face was ashen.
Li Ji was also quite emotional, "Ashi Nasheer was also a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, but I didn't expect the Gongyue Department to collude with Tubo. It can be seen that we should be cautious about such things."
Wu Mei gritted her teeth and said, "Sure enough, it's a wolf's ambition. I should kill the Gongyue Department!"
It doesn't matter to a man if a woman gets ruthless.
"But when Zhao Guogong left Chang'an, he ordered the accompanying Baiqi to keep an eye on the foreign tribes who accompanied the army. He was discovered when the Gongyue tribe was connecting with each other. Zhao Guogong kept his expressions..."
"Follow the plan." Li Ji smiled, "What a little Jia."
Liu Rengui praised: "You can use it if you don't move at this time, but if the battle is unfavorable, this is a great hidden danger."
This means that Jia Ping'an is a master of art and bold, which is why he dares to walk a tightrope.
"From the beginning of the great war, the Tubo army took turns to attack, breaking through our defense several times..."
Li Zhi sighed softly, "Just thinking about it, I can think of that mountain of corpses and sea of blood!"
Empress Wu clenched her hands.
"At noon, the enemy suddenly stormed my left flank, and immediately launched a general attack. The horn blared, and the Gongyue Department outside the left flank suddenly launched an attack..."
Li Zhi seemed to have seen that scene...the soldiers of the Tang Army who were fighting hard, the triumphant Gongyue Department, and the calm and calm Lu Dongzan...
"Our army has already set up an ambush, more than 20 artillery pieces are there, and the corpses of the rebels are all over the field..."
Cannon?
Empress Wu glanced at the emperor.
Li Zhi said: "This matter has been pondered for several years, and it has been kept secret until the year before last. However, such a sharp weapon can only be used during the national war."
Li Ji explained: "Queen, once this type of firearm is known, the enemy will naturally find ways to reduce casualties, such as dispersing it..."
Empress Wu understood.
"Then the thousand cavalry who had been cruising outside the left wing for a long time, under the leadership of General Manager Pei, flanked the Gongyue Department, and the Gongyue Department was defeated."
"good!"
Xu Jingzong said with a red face: "Those low dog slaves should be hunted down to the end!"
"The enemy army was shocked, but they couldn't retreat. Our army fought bravely, and the Mo Dao hand was particularly good. The enemy army who slashed back repeatedly, and finally the enemy army collapsed. Our army followed the trend... until the Congling area."
Big win!
The messenger continued: "Our army killed more than 70,000 enemy troops in this battle..."
Li Ji knew that most of these beheadings occurred during the pursuit.
At that time, the Tubo people collapsed, just catch up and kill them.
"Captured more than 120,000..."
"190,000."
Empress Wu said confidently.
"Meiniang's arithmetic is pretty good."
The emperor had a bad temper before, and now apologizes in disguise.
"More than that."
Li Ji explained: "Those fleeing soldiers are everywhere, and the Anxi Protectorate will find them out one by one."
The messenger said: "After the war, Zhao Guogong ordered the army to search around, and it was still in progress before coming."
Li Zhi asked: "So, Tubo lost at least more than 200,000 yuan?"
Li Ji nodded, "At least."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The monarch and his subjects couldn't help laughing out loud.
The envoy waited for them to finish laughing and said: "Duke Zhao ordered that there is no need to chase after Lu Dongzan, and Lu Dongzan was able to flee into the Congling area with hundreds of horsemen."
Li Zhi nodded, "He has really improved."
Empress Wu smiled and said: "Lu Dongzan was defeated in this battle. After returning home, he will turn from a powerful minister to a scourge of Tubo. Zanpu will think about seizing power, and those who have long been dissatisfied with Lu Dongzan's family will quietly gather together , looking for an opportunity to attack. It would be better to let him go back."
Li Ji was quite satisfied.
What is a handsome talent?
Shuai is not just good at fighting, it is not handsome, it is called general.
A truly handsome man must know that battle formation is a continuation of politics.
In this way, they will consider many factors of the two countries when planning, and when making decisions, they are not simply thinking about how to win, but how to maximize their interests.
Li Ji smiled relaxedly, "I'm relieved, old man."
Li Zhi said happily: "After this battle, Tubo's internal chaos, Datang can take advantage of the situation to stabilize the frontier area, and follow the trend."
Dou Dexuan said: "Your Majesty, the garrison in Longyou can be reduced in this way."
Reducing the garrison reduces a lot of expenses.
Li Zhi smiled, "It should be so."
"Once the Tubo elites were wiped out, Lu Dongzan had to face endless internal conflicts when he returned, and Longyou was safe. But Tuyuhun's place is not very safe."
Xu Jingzong vaguely reminded the emperor: that relative of your family is not very appropriate.
Tuyuhun Khan had ambitions back then, and now that Tubo is weak, will he take advantage of the trend and make trouble?
Li Zhi nodded, "I will make arrangements for this matter."
Just go back to the Baiqi people to investigate.
If it is inappropriate...
Wang Zhongliang saw that the emperor's eyes were more serious.
He couldn't help but mourn for that Khan for a moment.
Be more honest, otherwise you will have nothing to eat.
"Come here, give me a feast."
Li Zhi was in a good mood, and immediately ordered a banquet, and invited all the ministers to celebrate the victory.
"Tell the news of this battle to everyone."
This is a measure to boost the morale of the army and the people.
Immediately the news spread like wildfire.
…
Doudou and Ah Fu sit on the threshold, you say yours, I say mine.
But surprisingly harmonious.
Doudou leaned against Ah Fu, "Ah Fu, when do you think Aye will return?"
"Eep!" Ah Fu didn't know either.
"Look, Ah Fu, Fang Zheng is running so fast, it can be seen that he has encountered a happy event."
"Great victory!"
Jiang Rong came rushing forward and saluted, "Duke Zhao defeated Tubo, and Lu Dongzan only saved himself."
"Brother!"
Ah Fu turned around and rushed in.
Doudou happily said: "When will Aye come back?"
Jiang Rong: "..."
"Your Majesty has won!"
The front yard is seething.
Doudou went to the backyard and shouted: "Aye has won."
Wei Wushuang and Su Ho came out, and they were overjoyed after asking.
"Quickly find out."
Before Du He went out, a servant came to Jia's house in a hurry.
"The empress ordered us to talk about the process of this battle..."
After some explanation, Wei Wushuang said happily: "Let Cao Er prepare wine and dishes, and the whole family congratulates the husband and the Tang Dynasty."
Gao Yang got the news almost at the same time.
"Auntie!"
Li Shuo came in happily, "Aye has won a great victory, and he said that Lu Dongzan only escaped with his own body."
Gao Yang, who was pondering over the matter, was startled for a moment, and then said joyfully: "As expected."
Li Shuo said: "Mother, you were still worried yesterday..."
"Nonsense!" Gao Yang categorically denied it, and then proudly said: "You, Aye, are indeed a famous commander of the Tang Dynasty!"
The days in Xincheng are calm and breezy, and there are often no guests at home for a month or two.
So she still doesn't know about it.
It wasn't until the servants heard the cheers in the workshop that the word came in.
"Princess, great victory."
Xincheng just let out an oh.
"Princess, I'm going to find out the news."
Huang Shu rushed out excitedly.
Xincheng walked out of the room and looked at the tree in the corner of the yard.
The twigs that were a few years ago have gradually grown stronger.
The sky is blue, and Xincheng looks up.
…
Lu Shungui was drinking tea with gusto, and Cui Chen was talking about his worries to Lu Shunzai and others anxiously.
"Once Tubo is gone, the surrounding area of Tang Dynasty will be stable. The emperor's prestige will be even higher..."
Wang Cheng was depressed, "His prestige is high, so he will take action...He has always wanted to suppress the gentry, and now the opportunity has come."
Lu Shunzai said: "Is there still room for Tubo to fight back?"
Cui Chen shook his head, "My old man has inquired about it. This battle of Tubo is the best of the best. I wanted to defeat Datang in one battle. Who knows that Lu Dongzan has a false name, and he was defeated in the face of Jia Pingan. In the end, he only saved himself. It is said that the battlefield The corpses piled up like a mountain, and the local soil turned red."
Wang Sheng said: "It is said that more than 100,000 Tubo elites have been captured. If Tubo was not on a high ground, I am afraid that it will perish soon."
The atmosphere is a bit gloomy.
Lu Shungui put down his teacup, and said comfortably: "Look at the way you wait, are you from Tubo?"
Lu Shunzai blushed, "Second brother, I'm a dignified man..."
Lu Shungui said lightly: "I heard that Tubo was defeated, why didn't Han'er like it?"
The faces of the three of them were all slightly blue.
yes!
Why don't you like it?
Lu Shungui said, "Where is the gentry going? What the old man said back then turned himself into a street rat. But today the old man still wants to ask, where is the gentry going?"
The three were silent.
Lu Shungui smiled and said: "Family and country, country and family, the gentry experienced the ruin of the country back then, so they built a fort and lived in a fortress, and they were safe and sound in the hands of the murderous aliens, so they felt that they were the country. A surname is a family. The country, many noble clans unite to form the kingdoms... the kingdoms join hands to face the royal family Li, so naturally they will look down on them."
"Second Brother!"
Lu Shunzai whispered: "Don't forget that year."
Lu Shungui was in a trance for a while, "Back then!"
He just sat there drinking tea, looking dazed.
Looking up for a long time, there is no one in the room.
"gone?"
"Also!"
…
The news of the great victory made many people happy, and some were secretly angry.
The reaction of the foreign race is the most direct. In recent days, the foreign businessmen in the West Market have been shouting enthusiastically, Long Live Your Majesty. The Tang dialect that the foreign businessmen who have just arrived in the West Market have just learned is Wansheng.
"Victory!"
The high-nosed alien businessman shouted at the customers.
"I am happy for Datang."
"If possible, I hope to have a Datang household registration."
…
The household department was very busy at the end of the year, and Dou Dexuan's temper exploded when he was busy.
"Master."
Someone came to report, "Recently, many foreigners want to enter the household registration of Datang..."
Dou Dexuan said with a straight face, "Follow the rules, don't open your mouth."
The people who came came laughed and said, "Those are all rich people!"
Dou Dexuan said impatiently: "What about the rich? Do you understand the difference between Huayi?"
…
At the end of the year, something was popular in Chang'an cultural circles.
"What is Huayi?"
On the podium, the gentleman was foaming at the mouth.
"What is Hua? Kong Yingda said that China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia. It has the beauty of obedience, so it is called Hua. Huaxia is talking about ethnic groups, and it is more about etiquette. Foreign barbarians lead beasts to eat people, and forget righteousness for profit.
Husbands and Dies have strange qi from all directions. Crouching down and squatting, there is no relationship with birds and beasts. If they live together in China, they will disturb the weather and insult good people. It is the system of a sage king, and it is just that the restraint is endless, and it is not intended to harm China. "
This is the content in the Later Han Dynasty.
Mr. was quite excited when he said it, and everyone felt the proud self-confidence.
I am proud of my Huaxia!
"But my new school believes that what is a barbarian? People who want to enter China but refuse to identify with Chinese culture are barbarians."
You want to be Chinese, but you don’t agree with Chinese culture, this is Yi.
"Identify with Huaxia, identify with Huaxia's culture, this is the Huaxia people."
Students are listening, and debate begins after class.
"Jia Yu, what do you think is barbarian?"
Shangting asked.
Jia Yu shook his head, "I won't talk about that."
When he was at home, Aye often told him some miscellaneous opinions, including Huayi content.
But he is not going to repeat what Aye said, otherwise it will easily cause trouble.
Shangting said dissatisfied: "Why can't you say it?"
"I said something that offended someone."
Jia Ping'an's view is somewhat different from the current mainstream view in Jia Yu's view, and there are many unheard of views.
Can’t say it!
Aye said that he might be able to speak out in fifty years.
Or Datang will talk about it after seeing all the mountains and small things.
A student said: "I don't know what Mr. thinks about this."
The textbooks on other aspects of Huayi were compiled by experts organized by Han Wei and others. When Jia Pingan was asked to have a look, he took a look and said it was very good.
But it seems a bit perfunctory!
Shang Ting said: "Mr. will definitely agree."
The student said: "It's hard to say. Don't forget, the Beijing Temple built by Mr. buried hundreds of thousands of enemies."
"Now that the Tang Dynasty is invincible, it should be more relaxed."
Someone said confidently: "My Tang Dynasty should have the momentum to be inclusive of all rivers."
Jia Yu looked out the window.
The drizzle was falling sparsely.
It's winter, but spring is not far away.
…
Jia Ping'an arrived in Chang'an half a month later than originally planned.
"The yuan has been changed."
Li Jingye hurriedly ran to ask, "It is said that it was changed to Yuan Qianfeng."
"Linde is only two years old, why change his name in such a hurry?"
Jia Ping'an thinks that frequent yuan changes are a problem!
Isn’t it good for an era to continue?
Later generations study history books, and even people at the moment say things very simply: how many years has it been since Yonghui was like me. But now you have to distinguish the year number at that time first.
Are you tired?
Jia Ping'an was full of complaints. When he turned around and saw Li Jingye's excited face, he said angrily, "Why are you happy?"
"Pingkangfang, Yeye is here."
Li Jingye blushed with excitement.
Behind, a long line of prisoners was looking at the majestic Chang'an City in fear.
This is for offering prisoners.
Jia Ping'an is back.
It was in the late spring of the first year of Qianfeng.
The crown prince arrived outside the city first, and the soldiers saluted in unison.
"Meet Your Highness!"
The crown prince of the Tang Dynasty finally went to the battlefield to practice, which made the military quite excited.
Li Hongce entered Chang'an City on horseback.
It is time to go out and drink in late spring, so many idlers in Chang'an City are strolling.
"The prince is back."
The Western Expeditionary Army is back.
Li Hong arrived outside the Daming Palace in a flash.
"Your Highness, I will report to you, Your Highness, Your Highness!"
The prince should wait for the report when he comes from afar!
But how could Li Hong take care of them.
The empress has received the news of the return of the soldiers from the Western Expedition, and is waiting now.
"I don't know where Goro is."
Li Zhi paced in the hall with his hands behind his back, "This child is always so uneasy, next time it's better for me to conscript myself..."
Empress Wu smiled and said, "Who will His Majesty go to fight?"
yes!
The opponent is gone.
Who am I going to fight?
Li Zhi felt a little melancholy.
"Woooooooooooo..."
Xun Xun, who was lying on the side, suddenly got up and stared at the outside of the hall. He was stunned for a while, and then rushed out.
"This tail is wagging... but Taiping is here?"
Li Zhi asked with a smile.
Now that Taiping can run, she can always be seen in the palace letting herself go.
Children of this age dislike dogs, so Empress Wu said: "I'm afraid it will not be peaceful."
Li Zhi thought about it, and couldn't help laughing, "Taiping is now causing harm everywhere in the palace, and he can't even look for it."
The empress smiled.
Even Wang Zhongliang felt much relieved.
"Wow woof!"
Xun Xun called a few times, but it wasn't a growl.
Then it turned sideways, tail still wagging. This is a gesture of welcome.
A person just rushed in.
"Aye, Niang!"
"Goro!"
