The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 468 World War (End)

Su Dingfang, who had been holding back his anger for almost a year, went crazy this time.

Originally, he was the protagonist who pacified the Western Regions. Originally, he was the majestic hero. Originally, it was all his.
But with the whole world attacking Tang, Su Dingfang, who originally held the strongest army in Tang Dynasty, became the most aggrieved one.

Chased all the way to the foot of Jinshan Mountain, but still couldn't catch those Western Turks running like rabbits.

Later, even if Huihe and Xue Yantuo came to attack, Su Dingfang still had the confidence to win the battle.

But these tribes don't talk about martial arts, they don't engage in direct decisive battles, they just keep harassing him, and they even run to cut off his food supply.

Su Dingfang also had no choice, what kind of army could only retreat one after another if their food supply was cut off.

Fighting with the Western Turkic Huihe and Xue Yantuo is like quicksand in the desert. The strength of the body is limited by the terrain and supplies, so it can't be used no matter what.

After retreating to the Ili River Valley, he was asked by Li Ermi to stay here to hold back the three major tribes.

If it weren't for the hoarding of a batch of supplies in the river valley before going to Jinshan, and the looting of many tribes to obtain supplies such as cattle, sheep and horses, Su Dingfang's troops would have to catch mice.

Meat can barely be supplied, but the lack of fruits and vegetables has depressed the morale of Su Dingfang's troops.

Even the alfalfa and bean cakes that were originally fed to the war horses were eaten.

After finally waiting for the reinforcements to arrive, and finally waiting for the attack order from Li Er, Su Dingfang, who was insane, brought the Tang army, who was also insane, and swept all the ministries of Huihe madly.

Huihe, who was hit by a sudden attack, hurriedly asked Xue Yantuo next to him to come to rescue.

Xue Yantuo did come, but he came on horseback wielding a knife.

Under the attack from both sides, the Huihe tribes disappeared without a trace like a river flowing into the desert.

Su Dingfang, who was red-eyed, was not willing to keep the prisoners at all. The cruel slaughter even scared Xue Yantuo so much that he trembled and dared not approach Tang Jun, for fear that he would be the next one.

In history, Huihe, which gradually controlled the Western Regions after the main force of the Tang army withdrew during the Anshi Rebellion, disappeared into the long river of history.

Li Yunze was not idle here either, first he directly attacked and defeated the royal court of the Western Turkic Khan, wiped out his old camp and seized hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep in one fell swoop.

Followed by the battalion as a unit to attack in all directions, sweeping all the ministries of the Western Turks.

Compared to Su Dingfang who had red eyes, Li Yunze was much more kind.He captured as many prisoners as possible, especially the young and strong.

After all, the technical conditions of this era are not good, and the mines where mining accidents often occur, and the plantations where diseases are rampant and the weather is hot, continue to have a large number of manpower.

Women also want it. After all, since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Western Regions were cleaned up, not just for the raisins. The beauties in the Western Regions are really beautiful.

The Tang army who went to the Western Regions this time, whoever has some military exploits, can bring a concubine home.

As for the old and the young, it is of course useless.

Except for the young and old with status, old men can apply for Li Er's song and dance troupe, and those who are no taller than a wheel are sent to the palace to devote themselves to the service industry.

The rest are all handled by the ministries themselves.

Those with a better mentality should be driven away directly and let them fend for themselves in the vast world.

If the mentality is not so gentle, of course, just deal with it directly.

The Western Turks, who once controlled the two rivers of the Western Regions, had their spine broken in World War I.Even if there are still some scattered tribes on both sides of Jinshan, they are all grasshoppers after autumn with no way out.

Having dealt with the two powerful enemies, Li Yunze secretly cooperated with Su Dingfang, and the two sides quietly concentrated their troops to surround the two wings of Xue Yantuo's troops.

The original intention was to make a surprise attack to completely solve this little trouble.

As for Li Er's agreement to reconcile with Xue Yantuo's department, that was the emperor's agreement. I don't know if the frontline generals have not received the imperial edict.

It's a pity that Xue Yantuo's Yinan Khan was frightened by Tang Jun's berserk, so he threw out Tang Jian who was going to follow them desperately, and hurried northward to Jinshan.

Yi Nan Khan ran so fast that when Tang Jun chased him all the way, his royal court had even crossed Jinshan and fled to the extreme north.

It was already winter at this time, fleeing to the north of Jinshan in this kind of weather would really be a narrow escape.

After learning the news of the great victory in the Western Regions, the proud Li Er quickly made arrangements.

He took the Tianshan Mountains as the boundary, and set up the Anxi Protectorate Mansion to the south of the Tianshan Mountains. Cheng Yaojin replaced Li Yunze as the chief protector of the Anxi Protectorate Mansion.

Li Er left him [-] soldiers and horses, and the order was to guard Tubo on the plateau, and at the same time go to fight Big Bolu to avenge his hatred.

To the north of the Tianshan Mountains, the Beiting Duhufu was set up, and Su Dingfang was appointed as the governor of the Beiting Duhufu.

Li Er left [-] soldiers and horses for Su Dingfang. The task was to monitor Lianghe and prepare to go deep into Lianghe to attack and destroy the nine surnames of Zhaowu.

It wasn't that Li Er didn't want to give more soldiers and horses, but that the railway line had only been built to the area of ​​Xizhou and Tingzhou at this time, and there were still thousands of miles to go from here, so it needed to rely on horse-drawn carriages for transportation.

Before the construction of the railway lines on the north and south sides of Tianshan Mountain is completed, the limit of logistics supply is so much.

The rest of the Tang army returned to the court in a class, first returning to Gaochang Yizhou and other places, and then boarding the car and returning to Guanzhong.

With the defeat of the Western Turks and Huihe, as Tubo suffered heavy losses and did not dare to go down the mountain again, and with Xue Yantuo fleeing far away, this world war against the Tang Dynasty was temporarily declared over.

The reason why it is said to be temporary is because Li Er is going to clean up the grass next to him.

That's right, it's Goguryeo.

Goguryeo also participated in the global attack on the Tang Dynasty, but it was wandering around the border waiting for an opportunity.

If Datang fell during the siege, they would immediately turn into wolves and rush over and bite.

If Datang survived, they would send envoys to speak words of peace hypocritically.

This kind of method is useful to deal with faint emperors and treacherous ministers, such as Zhao Gou and Qin Hui.

But Li Er couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes. He was ready to fight before Goguryeo jumped out, not to mention that he was one of the initiators of this global attack on Tang.

Now there is only one reason that restricts Datang from attacking Goguryeo, and that is that the railway from Luoyang to Youzhou has not yet been repaired.

When the construction of this railway is completed, that is the day when the Tang cavalry arrives.

The train staggered forward, and the swaying people were drowsy.

Tang Jun who had left the battlefield looked extremely lazy, most of them fell asleep on the chairs, and the few who were awake were also joking and playing Shuanglu, Ye Zi and others.

Li Yunze sat on the chair and quietly flipped through the books, with calm eyes and a serious expression. Everyone who saw this scene would praise him, "It's really the style of a general." '

It's just that what he reads are illustrated story books, and they are made by famous artists.

This is the picture album that he specially asked Yan Liben to carry out artistic processing according to the storyline he provided.

What I have to say is that Yan Liben deserves to be Wu Daozi's former master of painting, and the paintings in these albums are so lifelike that they show every detail.

Especially when the male and female protagonists interact. Ahem.

"Walk on a swing by the well to get water from the spring rain and close the window behind the rockery."

Li Yunze's mind was fluttering while looking at the picture album, and what he thought in his mind was that after returning to Li's Village, he would practice these postures.

"General." Xue Rengui came over to salute.

Closing the album without a trace, Li Yunze nodded with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"The final general heard that His Majesty will attack Goguryeo this time when he returns to the court. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

"Do you want to go?" Li Yunze raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is this an addiction to meritorious service? I don't know exactly how, but if I really want to go, I will definitely recommend you."

"Thank you General!"

Xue Rengui was overjoyed and quickly saluted to thank him.

During this expedition to the Western Regions, he jumped from a white coat to a dignified lieutenant by virtue of his military exploits, and even won the title of knighthood.

Naturally, Shi Sui Zhiwei wanted to make persistent efforts, become a general and a duke of a state or something.

This is always the case for warriors in the martial arts era. They worked hard all day to practice martial arts, and all they thought about was sending troops and horses to clean up the surrounding enemy countries to make achievements.

Because of this, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, most of the Middle Earth dynasties sent troops to attack the surrounding areas.

It's just that after the big turbans took over the civil and military, it became that everyone went to study for the imperial examination and wanted to be an official, and despised the warriors.

The result was that the Middle Earth Dynasty was attacked from all directions, and both the Song and Ming Dynasties were subjugated.

"The general is reading He Bingshu?" Xue Rengui noticed the book in Li Yunze's hand, and asked curiously, "Can you take a look at it at the end of the day?"

"Oedo cough cough." Li Yunze waved his hand, "This is my own art of war, but I haven't finished writing it yet, and I will lend it to you after it is perfected."

"Thank you General!"

The scenery outside the window gradually became more colorful, and after entering Guanzhong, it was even more emerald green.

It took several months for Tang Jun to withdraw his troops and return to Guanzhong. By the time Li Yunze returned, it was already the season of spring and flowers blooming again.

At this time, Guanzhong has not yet reached the point where vegetation damage cannot be restored, and the green rivers are full of eyes, and it is still the place of choice.

The population of the villages and towns along the way has also gradually increased, and the people who are busy doing farm work in the fields have gradually become accustomed to the sight of the giant steel dragon roaring and galloping on the railroad tracks, so they are not as shocking as they were at the beginning.

Among other things, at least now basically there is no such thing as stealing rails.

In addition to the severe punishment and the road guard team, the very important point is that Datang's steel production has soared, and the price of iron products has also fallen rapidly.

Most of the people are already using iron farm tools at this time, and their farming efficiency is far higher than before.

Looking at the villages and towns along the way through the car window, most of the villages and towns are dominated by brick houses, and many houses also use glass.

This is also the benefit brought by Li Yunze.

Improvements in the technology of firing bricks and tiles, knowing how to control the temperature and the large-scale use of coal ensured the quality of bricks and tiles, and the output increased rapidly, which is already enough to meet the needs of ordinary people's homes.

As for glass, with technology, this kind of raw material is almost everywhere, so it is naturally not difficult to make it.

Seeing all this in front of him, Li Yunze was very satisfied.

At least I didn't come here in vain, at least let the people of Tang Dynasty in this world live better.

The geese leave their voices, and the people leave their names.

Although it is said that there will be a day when they will leave after all, people in this world should not forget the changes they have brought to their lives.

This time, he didn't think about the emperor's hegemony, but he was very satisfied.

While thoughts were flying, the train began to slow down slowly.

The long-awaited Chang'an City has finally arrived.
