Enter the Tang Dynasty with space

Chapter 165 Four Years Later
In the spring of 634 A.D., Yang Zheng, the Generalissimo of the Tang Dynasty, suddenly appeared in Yunzhou City.At the same time, all the commanders of the top ten military regions of Datang arrived.

This is the first time that Yang Zheng has presided over a high-level military meeting of the Tang Dynasty since his disappearance four years ago.

"See Master!"

"I haven't seen you for so many years, the commander-in-chief is even more handsome than before!"

"Hey, handsome, what are those two monsters at the door?"

Everyone arrived one after another. In the past few years, they had only received orders from Yang Zheng, but they had never met Yang Zheng, so they felt a little sudden when they were suddenly told that the Tang military meeting would be held immediately.

"Hehe, everyone, sit down first, sit down! Come on, serve tea!" Yang Zheng said with a smile, and when the fragrant Yang's tea came, Yang Zheng said, "Commanders, I haven't held a cup with you for four years. Your demeanor is still the same. Commander Su, the Western Regions Military Region has become the largest military region in the Tang Dynasty. Your zebra cavalry are invincible, and your power has shocked the world in recent years. Commander Xue, the cavalry outside the Great Wall is not far behind. You actually crossed Siberia , beat the Frankish cavalry to pieces. This commander deeply admires the leadership skills of the commanders, so this commander decided to hold this military meeting to prepare for the next all-out attack of our Datang army."

After a pause, Yang Zheng asked again: "Commander Su, how is the war between the Turks and the Great Food Kingdom?"

"Commander, the Turkic people are about to be overwhelmed. Dashiguo has strong soldiers and horses, and plenty of food and grass. On the other hand, although the Turkic people are brave, they are on the weak side. If it weren't for my help from the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid they would have perished long ago." Su Dingfang said .

In four years, a lot has changed. The Great Cannibal wiped out Sasanian Persia in one fell swoop, and drove the Byzantines to the Greek Islands. Now the Great Cannibal has become an empire spanning three continents, Europe, Asia and Africa, occupying more territory than the Tang Dynasty. Even bigger, and now their goal is the Turkic Empire in Central Asia.

The Turkic Empire was eventually unified by Nishu, and once occupied most of Central Asia. However, with Nishu's death last year, the Turkic Empire became precarious, and the big cannibals took the opportunity to invade, and they were already approaching the city of Ruoluosi.

Yang Zheng said: "Immediately send envoys to Central Asia to negotiate peace between the two countries."

Su Dingfang said in astonishment: "Commander, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to work. The big cannibal has the upper hand, so how can you listen to me, Datang?"

"Hahahaha, old Su, with your brain, I want him to be disobedient, otherwise, how can I have an excuse to send troops." Yang Zheng laughed loudly.

Su Dingfang was overjoyed when he heard the words: "It turns out that the commander-in-chief is planning to attack the big cannibal. It's great! The last general will arrange this matter after he returns. If the big cannibal is smart, it's best to withdraw his troops on his own initiative. Otherwise, my zebra cavalry from the Western Regions will be killed in the same way." They were driven back to West Asia with lightning speed."

"Well, you just need to worry about this matter. King Dunhuang, how is the situation in Tubo?" Yang Zheng turned to Li Daozong and asked.

"Commander, the situation in Tubo has been calm. Since the Tubo people annexed Tianzhu and Tuyuhun, they have stood still. Songtsan Gampo is indeed a generation of heroes. In the end, they must be accumulating strength and preparing to wait for my Tang Dynasty. At that time, launch an attack on our Hexi Corridor." Li Daozong has been very concerned about the situation in Tubo these years, and Tubo has indeed risen in recent years, conquering Tianzhu, and it will be done within a year, which makes the territory of the Tubo Empire unprecedentedly vast , and after obtaining Tianzhu, the population of Tubo also increased sharply, and the national power also increased rapidly. Last year, Tubo took only half a year to pacify Tuyuhun, Fu Yun's lineage was all killed, Ashina quickly surrendered, and Tuyuhun wiped out the country.

During this period, Datang did not interfere with Tubo's actions, but only made a large amount of war money.Now that Tubo borders on the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop, there is a vague intention of competing for supremacy.

Yang Zheng smiled and said: "King of Dunhuang, don't worry. If the commander-in-chief's expectations are not bad, Songtsen Gampo will definitely send envoys to Chang'an to propose marriage within this year, and ask His Majesty to marry a princess. Both Songtsan Gampo and Ludongzan You are a smart person, and you know the strength of my Tang Dynasty well. If the two countries marry each other, everyone will benefit. King Dunhuang, if you are willing to marry your daughter, haha, there will be no war in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Daozong said anxiously: "Marshal, what can I do? Your Majesty has no daughter to marry, and my snow geese can't marry. I'm afraid the snow geese can't bear it in the alpine region." Li Daozong is a smart man, a princess of the marriageable age in the Tang Dynasty Either he is married, or he already has a son-in-law. If Songtsan Gampo proposes marriage, Li Shimin will definitely choose someone from among the clan. Li Xueyan, the eldest daughter of Li Daozong, who is fourteen years old, is the best choice, but It is Li Daozong's darling, how could Li Daozong be willing to part with it?

"Haha, King of Dunhuang, Songtsan Gampo can be regarded as an outstanding man of his generation. It is not considered that he has insulted the snow geese. The Tang Dynasty and Tubo coexisted peacefully. Let's take care of the big cannibals. When the time comes, let the Tubo army attack Tocharo. Cut off the back road of the big cannibal, so that the big cannibal will have no reason to survive. Dunhuang king, your daughter can make a great story in Han and Tibet, what are you reluctant to do?" Yang Zheng said to the historical Songtsan Gampo’s marriage to Princess Wencheng is more agreeable, but this event happened a few years later in history, but Yang Zheng has already detected Songtsan Gampo’s intentions in space, although Li Daozong’s eldest daughter Li Xueyan Definitely not Princess Wencheng in history, but her reputation spread far and wide, and she was introduced to Tubo territory long ago. Songtsan Gampo also favored her, and Songtsan Gampo also knew that Li Shimin would never marry a real princess. Going to Tubo, so this trick will be used immediately: pretending to marry the princess, but actually pursuing Li Xueyan.

However, Yang Zheng was never cruel to the Tubo people who were of the same lineage as the Han nationality. Tubo invaded Tuyuhun, and Yang Zheng did not intervene. It was out of this consideration that if Li Xueyan could marry him now, the Han and Tibetan people would definitely be able to unite. For decades, this is obviously a very good thing.

Li Daozong pondered for a while, obviously he was not so conflicted about this matter, but then again, if Li Shimin really made an order, Li Daozong would have to obey it.

Yang Zheng turned to Xue Wanche and said, "Commander Xue, how is the situation in the Northeast?"

Xue Wanche said: "Commander, the Khitan people are now in a disadvantageous situation. There are Xi people and Mohe people rebelling inside, and the Koreans are invading outside. The Khitan people have expanded too much in recent years, and their ruling methods are extremely brutal. Therefore, the country is unstable, but It has always been a vassal state of my Great Tang, if I don't help, I'm afraid it will hurt my face."

"The commander-in-chief will naturally consider this matter. Rengui, your army is ready to cross the Daxing'an Mountains at any time and attack the rear of the Koreans. When the time comes, you both echo, and the Koreans will definitely not have good results." Yang Yang Zheng also knows the situation in the Northeast very well. Datang occupies the outside of the Great Wall, so he has the convenience of the location. It is easy to control the situation in the Northeast.

"Yes, handsome!"

"Yes, handsome!"

Er Xue responded at the same time.

"Commander Duan, what's the situation in the Southwest?" Yang Zheng turned to the veteran Duan Zhixuan. In recent years, the Bai people in the south of Caiyun formed the Nanzhao Kingdom 100 years ahead of schedule, and they expanded everywhere. There was a vague attempt to build a powerful kingdom. Their intention to expand is so strong, which is not good for Datang.Therefore, Yang Zheng decided to intervene in the Nanzhao Kingdom, so as not to fight against Datang when he becomes bigger.

"Commander, the Nanzhao Kingdom was established at the beginning, and has already sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty. Now, the Tang Dynasty has no reason to send troops. It is better to follow what the Generalissimo said before. After Tubo proposes marriage, our Tang Dynasty secretly ordered him to contain Nanzhao. , so that our Tang Dynasty can sit back and relax. And once there is a turmoil, our Southwest Military Region can send army commanders to drive straight in, use the excuse of reconnaissance to occupy the south of Caiyun, and then support a regime that is pro-Datang. Isn't it beautiful?" Duan Zhixuan is worthy of being a veteran in the battlefield, brave and resourceful, Yang Zheng deeply agrees.

"Okay, what Commander Duan said is very true. He ordered the Southwest and South China military regions to build roads to the Nanzhao border area. If there is an opportunity, they can be on standby at any time." Nanzhao's current territory is not small, not only adjacent to Bashu, but also close to After crossing Lingnan, it also borders Annan, which also makes Nanzhao's expansion road come to an end. It is surrounded by the Tang Dynasty on three sides in the depths, and there is Tubo overlooking it. , will definitely bring about a fatal disaster.

"Okay, all commanders immediately return to their respective military regions and wait for the commander's military order. It has been four years. Our Datang is now full of granaries, the country is rich and the people are strong, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the world is united. If anyone dares to violate the power of the Tang Dynasty, he will be killed without mercy. !"

"Follow the order of the commander-in-chief, Great Tang Wansheng!"

A new page will be opened by Datang soon.
