Chapter 129 Spring Thunder (1)
.When February arrives, all the plum blossoms in the palace are blooming, and they are colorful and colorful.
Di Renjie came to the inner palace, and Wu Zetian met him in the Wucheng Palace.
After coming to Luoyang, Di Renjie was abnormal and almost did nothing to do. He was more honest than Xue Yuanchao at the time, no matter what Pei Yan said, he was just timid.
Wu Zetian just smiled and said, "The Ai family is not a tiger that eats droughts."
After hearing this, Di Renjie sighed at home: "Why are tigers so powerful as you eat drought?"
After hearing the news from Luoyang, Wu Zetian didn't believe it. So he summoned Di Renjie to ask: "Di Qing, have you heard the recent rumors in Dongdu?"
"I heard it."
"Do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it."
But through the pearl curtain, Wu Zetian clearly saw a trace of confusion in his eyes. He was very suspicious, saying that the elephant was not like, and his son was so easy to be killed? It was also very similar. In order to encourage his subordinates, he had the habit of taking risks with his own life.
Wu Zetian didn't believe it very much, but where did the news come from?
Could it be that her son's trick was a weird trick, and she didn't understand the military aspect and could not judge. If Di Renjie did not participate, Pei Xingjian would definitely have participated. However, after her husband died last year, Pei Xingjian and Xue Yuanchao both died of illness. Everyone was buried, and there was no way to ask.
However, since he was summoned to the inner palace, Di Renjie was finally a straightforward minister. He had a sentence in his heart for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say: "Qi Gong, why did General Qiu go to Bazhou to kill His Highness Yong?"
At the end of last year, Wu Zetian asked Qiu Shenji to go to the Bazhou Procuratorate Yong Wang's House. This order was normal at that time. Li Xian once supervised the state affairs, but the emperor did not come back, so he was still appealing. Qiu Shenji inspected Li Xian's House to prepare for the foreign affairs, in order to prevent Li Xian from being uneasy. After Qiu Shenji arrived in Bazhou, he killed Li Xian and killed him.
A report to the palace of the Chaolong Court said that King Yong died of illness.
No one believed this statement. How could Li Xian die of illness when he was getting stronger in the year? Fearing the power of Wu Zetian, no minister dared to give advice. Di Renjie couldn't stand it, but it was hard to say it in person, and it was even hard to give advice behind his back. It happened that Wu Zetian summoned him alone, and Di Renjie expressed his dissatisfaction.
He was wise and wise, and was still an orthodox minister. Li Xian did something bad, and he was the emperor's younger brother, the empress dowager's biological son. Di Renjie was very dissatisfied with this behavior.
Wu Zetian stared at Di Renjie and said word by word for most of the day: "The Ai family knows. Others can advise on this matter, but you can't, do you know?"
Through the curtain, you can see clearly outside the curtain, but outside the curtain, but you can't see clearly inside the curtain, and you can't look at it openly. After all, you are a beautiful widow. But Di Renjie could feel Wu Zetian's gaze stabbed him like a cold arrow.
He sighed in his heart, anyway, it would be useless to fight for him again. Putting aside the brotherhood, Li Xian's death is also good for the emperor, so he had to say, "I know it."
"But Di Qing suggested that you are Honger's confidant minister. The Ai family gave you a little face and immediately gave a copy of the Ai family's orders and demoted Qiu Shenji to the governor of Wuzhou."
"Here."
But Di Renjie slandered in his heart, what is this derogatory? Wuzhou is in Shannan Road, a poor Xiazhou, but it is finally a governor, very close to Jinglong City. However, if the news that the emperor died in the southern entrance of Yutian was true or false, he did not want to argue again.
However, three months later, Wu Zetian recalled Qiu Shenji back to Luoyang and appointed him as General Zuo Jinwu.
Wu Zetian's unscrupulous behavior finally annoyed Di Renjie. He once again joined the name of the Dragon and wrote the letter of the Dragon and asked Wu Zetian to take back the order. Wu Zetian refused to listen. Di Renjie was unwilling to accept it, and repeatedly wrote the letter of the Dragon and three times. Wu Zetian laughed it off. Except for a little bit of entanglement in Li Xian's affairs, Di Renjie did not make things difficult for him in other aspects. Therefore, he was not angry, but what happened immediately changed Wu Zetian's attitude.
Compared with the rumors that are everywhere, Li Xian's death is just a trivial matter.
The envoy issued the edict slowly went to the Western Regions. Just as the situation in the Western Regions stabilized, Hei Chi Changzhi led his army to Qinghai. He stopped him head-on and asked to see Li Wei. Hei Chi Changzhi said vaguely: "Your Majesty's verbal order, since the Taishou Emperor of the country has a will and asked the Empress Dowager to handle government affairs, Your Majesty does not need to rush back. The situation in the Western Regions has not stabilized, and there are still many things to do. When the Western Regions are truly stable, Your Majesty will return to the Eastern Capital immediately."
The messenger didn't know the rumors in China, and after hearing this, he was happy that it would be better if he didn't go back. After he came back, he replied. Wu Zetian scolded him and asked you to issue an edict. Why did you come back without even seeing my son?
He sent an envoy to Qinghai to inquire. This time the speed was very fast and he almost rushed to Shanzhou without stopping. However, Heichi Changzhi replied again, Your Majesty led a military team to the West, and I didn't know that it had reached the Western Regions and reached the west. Or you should wait for a while and wait until I get the news from Your Majesty and notify you.
The envoy had no choice but to report the matter to Dongdu, and he stayed in Shanzhou to wait for the news. Otherwise, where would he go to find someone when he went to the Western Regions as big as Lingxi?
The facts of the war are not over.
After the Tang Dynasty formed a peace talk with Tubo, it never invaded Tubo, including the land of Hexi in Qinghai, and even Lunzanpo invaded Hedong, did not send troops. Tubo turned his eyes into enemies and tore up the treaty again, which allowed the Tang Dynasty to occupy Daoyi.
The reward was made first, and there were too many soldiers who died in this battle. Not only did the battle with Lunqinling, but the soldiers who died in Suoye City seized Khurashan and fought against the great cannibals, the Tang Dynasty army also sacrificed many people. But the war was far from over. When fighting again, it was Shi Laozhi's soldiers. Therefore, more than four million yuan of rewards were issued. Each soldier received an average of more than thirty yuan of gold and silver. More than thirty yuan of money was a very huge number for the current Tang Dynasty people.
Not only did he receive a reward of real cash, he also gave female slaves and a large number of livestock. The reward was very righteous and almost absolutely rewarded according to military merits. He also gave generous pensions to the families of the sacrificed soldiers. This action aroused the morale of the soldiers.
However, coupled with the consumption of the martial arts weapon, the huge wealth obtained from the city of Mufu was almost exhausted.
But new wealth gathers again.
After two years of rest and rest, the remaining troops of Tuyuhun gradually recovered their vitality. The business and traveling exchanges made them accumulate some wealth again. But the peaceful time passed. In addition to encircling and suppressing Geluo and Chebishi troops in Jinshan, the Tang Dynasty launched a new battle in Qinghai.
A large number of siege towers were pushed out, causing the dangerous geographical location of the Tuyuhun people to gradually lose their effect. After a month of hard attack, Tuyuhun City was trapped. Mohe Khan took his wife of Tubo princess and fled to Wuhai. Heichi Changzhi chased Wuhai again and was forced to retreat to Zishankou with Lunzanpo. Tuyuhun groups of dragons had no heads, and each escaped to surrender to the tribes in the valley. Some had previously connected with the Tang Dynasty. Those who wanted to surrender were sent to Lingzhou and placed under the name of Nuohun Khan. However, no one was spared and sent to the Central Plains.
Lun Qinling returned to China and failed to make a successful start. The Tubo territory made the worst sound again. However, under the suppression of Wulu clan, it became very gentle. Moreover, in order to rescue Lun Qinling, Wulu clan went to Yangtong in person, mobilized a large army, and went to Kunlun Mountain to rescue him. Therefore, there was a conflict, Lun Qinling was unable to attack. In this case, he did not have the strength to send troops to Qinghai again. He had to agree with Wulu clan's approach and prepared to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty to ask for a crime and reconsider peace.
But at this time, the saying that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty died in Nanshankou was also heard.
Lun Qinling was shocked. The battle at Nanshankou was very hard, and nearly 10,000 soldiers were sacrificed one after another. These were the most brave soldiers in Tubo. After capturing Nanshankou, Lun Qinling issued an order to kill the prisoners of Tang Dynasty and silence the anger in order to calm the anger in his heart. In that battle, only a very small number of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fled, but he did not see the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
It was similar to Wu Zetian's idea, thinking that it was Li Wei's trick, but he was very puzzled. What was the purpose of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty doing this? He couldn't figure it out. And the result of this was very dangerous. Once the Tang Dynasty people confirmed that he would re-establish an emperor. He had lost the power of military and national power because the old emperor was stunned before his death, and lost the throne. How could he fight? Could he want to launch a civil war?
Looking around, he did not dare to send troops. Heichi Changzhi used troops until nearly August. At this time, the Qinghai army was filled with worry, so he withdrew from Hexi. In this battle, almost all the cities in Hexi were destroyed, including the various checkpoints in Qiemo. The Bailong surname plundered the front and back reached more than 100,000. In the large area of Hexi, the only remaining Bailong surname surviving was less than 100,000. Then he sent garrisons in Qiemo to guard the various channels leading to the Western Regions of Qinghai. Hexi still gave up, but it really became a ruin.
Faced with the soldiers' worries, Heichi Changzhi once again rewarded the captured wealth and sent someone to avoid rumors.
This may be the most rewarded war since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
With the various rewards before and after, each soldier might get more than 100 yuan in income. The morale stabilized again. But at this time, he had not heard from Li Wei, and the Tang Dynasty was crowded with people. Wu Zetian sent an envoy to Qinghai and issued a strict order to explain my son's whereabouts, and to see people in his life and corpses in his life.
Heiqi often said vaguely: "The emperor may have gone to Khorasan."
Then he took out the map to explain.
After the war, the Western Regions were filled with blue eyes and received some compensation wealth, as well as a large number of slaves, and each division was barely recovering. Of course, Che Bishi and Geluo several divisions, under repeated encirclement and suppression of the coalition forces, probably disappeared in the long river of history.
Therefore, the Tang Dynasty military team once again put their sight on Dashi.
This country's family is in chaos, but it is still a very powerful country. Aviye II came to power, and the domestic counterattack was loud. He took the opportunity to further weaken the big food. Then, even if he recovered, it would be a long time before he could pose a threat to the river. Moreover, like Tubo, it is located in Medina, and the rest of the territory is expanded and occupied. Once it moves, it is not necessarily known whether it can collapse.
The Great Qin and the Great Food have been fighting hard since last year. Later, in order to restore the glory of the emperor, the Emperor of the Cult joined forces with other ministries to launch the Holy War. Even the Avals, who had previously had tense relations with Western countries, sent a thousand troops to present friendship to the Holy See and Byzantium.
This made Constantinople very useful. In the past, Byzantium caused the Avalans to suffer and sent envoys to comfort them.
Reinforcements from various countries arrived, including the Franks and the Goths, and the battle situation was in a state of storm.
At this time, the Tang army divided into two groups. Wang Fangyi went to Tehran in person, and Qibianming went to Marklan and Xinde, swept the garrisons of Dashi, and expelled the Great Cannibals. This was used to decompose the pressure of the Great Qin Kingdom. But it was not stupid, nor did it take the opportunity to occupy Marklan and Xinde. It was very close to the seaside. The Great Cannibals had a strong navy and could land at any time to fight, which was not worth the loss.
Go to expel, make a look, and then bring back the precious wealth, and reward the other wealth to the Bailong surname to win people's hearts. The main team of Dashi came, and there were few people coming, so they took the opportunity to annihilate it. There were many people coming, so it would still be better to shrink Sestan and Khorasan to retain their strength.
"Are you still fighting?" The eunuch who issued the order made a mistake for most of the day.
"Why don't you fight? You don't take the opportunity to lay the foundation stone at this time, and then the cannibals will recover. Will you really dispatch a team of 100,800 troops from the country to confront them?"
He reported to Wu Zetian again intact.
Wu Zetian ordered that since you went to Khurashan, you should also go to Khurashan for this palace and you must see the emperor with your own eyes. However, at this time, most people may not think that the emperor is really dead, but there is a very likely problem.
This trip to Khorasan was not a step or two. The messenger came to Khorasan again. It was already winter. Khorasan had no one in charge. He asked the Persian king Ni Ni. After asking the three birds, he had no idea, so he had to come to Tehran again and was fighting. However, there were very few Tang troops inside, mostly Persians, and only the command was handed over to the generals of the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, he won consecutive victories, but no one in the country cared about this key and only cared about one person. Wang Fangyi replied politely, the emperor was not with me, but about where in Qibiming, you go and take a look.
I was so angry that this is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Why do you all know whereabouts?
He rushed from Herat to Jiling City, and when he arrived at Jiling City, Boshan lived in charge. After asking questions and wondering, he had to go south to Balochistan again, but he was not there, and then he entered Markland again. Because the Bailong family here lives by fishing, he is also called a fish eater. But he still didn't exist. He talked about Xinde. So he went to Xinde again. How far did he walk? It was no less than the old eunuch who went to the West to obtain the scriptures in Sanzang, the Tang Dynasty, and the old eunuch had suffered.
When they arrived in Xinde, they found Qie Biming. At this time, the Tang Dynasty military team reached their goal. Seeing the danger in the east, the Dashi Army had sent a military team to save them. Wang Fangyi and Qie Biming achieved the strategic goal. The main military team of Dashi could give the Byzantines a temporary advantage.
Moreover, the internal conflicts of the Great Cannibal were intensified and there were many problems. After Yezid's son came to power, the Great Cannibal tribes began to support Zobair. They died soon after anxiety. Originally, Zobair seemed to be able to successfully ascend the caliphate position, but the army suddenly emerged. Originally, Melwang, the patriarch of the Wumaiye tribe, was also preparing to support Zobair, who ascended the throne in Mecca. But he could obey others' persuasion. With Yezid's uncle Hassan, he accepted support in Yabiya. Melwang went to Damascus with Hassan to take office. The Gaes intercepted halfway and was defeated by Melwang.
Melwang successfully ascended the new caliph. Huzoweer expected that this tribe had let go. However, the civil war was not calm, and coupled with the crazy attacks between the Byzantines and the Tang Dynasty, the situation in the Great Food was very dangerous.
However, this has nothing to do with the Tang army, and the rest was left to the Byzantines to solve.
