Chapter 148

[Zhang Yichao, who has obtained the right to manage the Helong area, has also thoroughly used his means.

Engaging in production and promoting the economy is the main theme of Hexi during this period.

Hexi, which had been devastated by the Tibetan slave owners, was restored in an orderly manner by Zhang Yichao.

For example, following the example of Wuhou Xing Water Conservancy to repair ditches, each canal has a dedicated person in charge of management.

For example, it is advocated that farmers, herdsmen, and merchants should each fulfill their responsibilities and develop their strengths.

For example, vigorously disseminate the culture of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, it was recorded that "training with Huafeng, salty society will train good people, and customs will change".

The local Tang people are very proud of Zhang Yichao's governance: after a century of Zuofu, he was restored to Guanshang;

In 856 A.D., King Tuyuhun from the north of Shazhou came to plunder. Frightened by the power of Zhang Yichao, King Tuyuhun wanted to rob grain and fled.

Zhang Yichao led his army to pursue northward for more than a thousand li, until they reached the border of Tuyuhun.

In this battle, Zhang Yichao's army surrounded many with fewer troops. Zhang Yichao himself took the lead and rode straight into the enemy's formation.

Although the besieged Tuyuhun tribe was powerful, they had no fighting spirit. They just wanted to break out of the siege and flee north. In the end, the Tang army defeated them with one as ten. According to the records of the time:
"Fan Rong ran north and south timidly, and the Han generals were as powerful as a thousand."

After a lapse of nearly a hundred years, the Tuyuhun people here once again shuddered to think of the former Tang Army's Tianwei.

Zhang Yichao was victorious. He killed the three Prime Ministers Tuyuhun in front of the army, beheaded thousands, captured hundreds, and captured thousands of llamas, horses, cattle and sheep.

The rebels who returned in triumph sang "The Music of the Great Array" happily on the road.

This military song that has been handed down since the Han Dynasty has not been handed down, and only a few words can be found in the records of literati in the Song Dynasty.

And one of the lines, "Thousands of miles recruit people to exhaust the Han songs", has become the best commentary on Zhang Yichao's achievements.

In the same year, the Uighurs and the remnants of Tubo in Shazhou rebelled, and Zhang Yichao also surrounded the army and killed them.

The Tibetans fled in fear and were hunted down by their tails. Their bodies spread all over fifty li.

In addition, Zhang Yichao's iron fist will be given to any unruly party items, Uighurs, and Gamos in Hexi, which not only protects the people's production, but also promotes the prestige of the righteous army.

In the end, Zhang Yichao settled down in Shazhou:

Thousands of miles away, ministers from foreign states come here, and Hu people from all over the world come here to beg for peace.

The barbarians from all directions worshiped and danced, and the remnants of the old enemy offered gold and jade to repair it.

Fifty years after the fall of the White-haired Army, Datang finally made its presence felt in the Western Regions again. 】

"It's really like a military advisor." Zhang Fei said in a low voice.

The more he understands this kind of outstanding person through the ages, the more Zhang Fei feels his insignificance.

He has never beaten a barbarian, and he has made very little achievements in fighting for his eldest brother in his life. He died in a ridiculous way, which has been laughed at through the ages.

As for this kind of governance, it is even more black-eyed, let alone this kind of nonsense.

This person can not only show off his prestige, but also show his virtue, so that the four directions can be attached to him, and all the barbarians can be subdued. For Zhang Fei, he already belongs to the category of mythology, and he is at the same level as a military adviser.

"Exercising kindness and majesty, well-organized." Pang Tong was amazed, this person is so powerful?
"And..." Pang Tong looked at Kong Ming with a smile in his eyes:

"Although he was better than Wolong when he was young, he is better than Wolong."

"At least Kong Ming, you won't take the lead in riding the battle."

Kong Ming shook his head, he couldn't do this, he could lead the troops, but the charge was avoided.

"He's still a brave general. However, his military exploits are so far..."

Guan Yu suddenly said:
"In the old days, Chen Zigong said that the Hu soldiers were five and the Han soldiers were number one."

"However, Sun Bin also said that the soldiers are divided into guests and hosts, and guests are half as much as hosts."

"This Guiyi army was able to take the initiative to encircle the city with a small number of hits, and smashed it... so brave, it is rarely heard."

"Maybe it's the prestige of the prosperous Tang Dynasty?" Wei Yan guessed.

However, Wei Yan is still quite envious of the military exploits of this discussion:
"Sitting upright in the city, being subdued by the Hu people and performing dances to seek peace, the prestige flourished, and he went straight to pursue Wei Huo."

"Going straight to Wei Huo is yet to be discussed." Huang Zhong shook his head:
"However, he is brave and can be called a famous general."

……

Li Shimin of Ganlu Palace has only one simple word:

"it is good!"

Immediately got up excitedly:

"Good good!"

The pain in my head is gone and I feel full of energy all over my body.

"If the frontier generals in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty are like this discussion, how can it not last for another hundred years?"

Of course, Li Shimin also knew that this was just talk.

The only regret is that...

"Why is it a big array?"

Of course, Li Shimin also knows that even when he first raised his troops, he would sing along with the soldiers after winning a battle.

But since he is a warrior in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, why not sing the military music of the Tang Dynasty?

"Could it be that my "Broken Array Music" has not been handed down?"

"What's so difficult about this?"

Changsun Wuji is always with him like a shadow:

"I think the musicians are happy to write music and lyrics for everyone's breakout music."

"In this way, the soldiers can sing the song of breaking the battle whether they are going out, breaking the battle, triumphant, or homesick!"

"Very good!" Li Shimin was satisfied: "It should be Wanli Zhengren who exhausted Tang songs."

"No!" Li Shimin had an idea again: "Ten thousand miles of barbarians are exhausted by Tang Ge."

Li Shimin laughed loudly, Fang Du looked at each other, he was used to it for a long time.

[Although the four parties surrendered after repeated victories, Zhang Yichao certainly understands the problem of Guiyi Army.

The Liangzhou occupied by Tubo cut off the artery of the Guiyi Army. Only by reopening this place can the population resources be transported from the Central Plains to Hexi.

Only when the people of the Tang Dynasty in Hexi are allowed to prosper again, can the Tang Dynasty really take control of this place, and the Guiyi Army can have a continuous supply of vital strength.

But re-opening Liangzhou City is easier said than done?This is the last fortress of the Tubo Empire in Hexi. All the defeated troops, remnants and slaves of Hexi Tubo fled here in the end.

But Zhang Yichao couldn't wait any longer, and after ten years of savings, he was determined to fight to the death to bring Hexi back to the Tang Dynasty!
Beginning in 858, without the support of Chang'an, Zhang Yichao officially started the war against Liangzhou.

Every county outside the city of Liangzhou needed the Guiyi army to compete with the Tubo people. The battle lasted for three years, and countless soldiers of the Guiyi army gambled their lives, and finally opened a road to Liangzhou city.

In August 861, Zhang Yichao, who had only 7000 men left under his command, ordered:
Ask for a way to open the way, go straight to Liangzhou, and Tang'er returns to the country, just now!

Under the circumstances of attacking the strong with the weak, Zhang Yichao chose to covert his whereabouts and raided Liangzhou. The Tubo frontline was in chaos, but they quickly organized a counterattack because they found that only a thousand people were invading.

The Guiyi Army exploded with astonishing fighting power under the leadership of Zhang Yichao.

If the head is injured, wipe a handful of soil and continue to kill the enemy. When the horse dies, it will charge towards the horse with a white blade in hand.

The coats and jackets worn by the soldiers were drenched with the blood of the Tubo people and became heavier. Some soldiers simply took off and fought with the Tubo people bare-chested.

In the end, the Guiyi Army of the "Han family with blades like frost and snow" was even better, completely crushing the fighting spirit of the Tubo people, and began to flee in all directions.

However, Zhang Yichao seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and ordered the reserve team to start encircling, and the Tubo people fell into the Tang army's methodical strangulation.

In the end, the corpses of the Tubo people were scattered all over dozens of miles. Some of the corpses did not have time to restrain themselves until the weather turned frosty, and most of them even became rations for tigers, wolves and wild beasts.

It is worth mentioning that Gao Jinda, who was the first to send a letter to Chang'an, also participated in the Battle of Liangzhou, but there is no record after that, and he may have died here.

Relying on this beautiful battle of annihilation, the Hexi Corridor was finally connected, and this land bears the name of Zhang Yichao and the Guiyi Army.

Longxi is once again connected to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the people stranded here can finally return to their homeland. People at that time praised it in poems:
Hexi has been in ruins for more than a hundred years, and the road blocks Xiao Guanyan's trust.

General Laid opened the old road and became famous all over the world. 】

"General Tang, that's how it should be!"

Although he felt sorry for Zhang Yichao's loneliness and loyalty, Li Shimin became more and more satisfied.

Today is still the early Tang Dynasty, the shame of the Wei River has not yet been settled, and the Turks have not yet been destroyed.

This discussion, on the contrary, made Li Shimin understand what a military general in the prosperous Tang Dynasty should look like.

Really the only downside is...

"Can this indifferent Xuanzong be called Little Taizong?"

Li Shimin was very contemptuous:
"It's simply insulting my reputation!"

"It's almost the same name as Xiao Xuanzong!"

He still remembered the posthumous posthumous title of Xuanzong, the descendant who fled to Shuzhong.

Moreover, if there is such a good general as Zhang Yichao, Li Shimin will support him even if he is recruited personally.

Not to mention the big event of getting through Hexi.

"Is my good descendant completely ignorant of military affairs?"

Du Ruhui guessed:
"Or because there were wars in other places at that time, it was difficult to take care of both."

"After all, I'm waiting for the sightseeing curtain, and I'm just watching the leopard through the tube."

This is already trying to make up for it, after all, the general who was ridiculed by the light curtain to watch the Xiliang performers drinking and having fun has not been there for a long time.

Li Shimin snorted and said regretfully:
"It's a pity that Gao Jinda is here."

Then he became bored with Xuanzong again:

"Even if he can help 200 people, this Gao Jinda may not necessarily die!"

Fang Xuanling comforted:

"If you don't see the records, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are dead. Maybe it's just that you don't go to battle?"

Li Shimin was reluctantly persuaded, and finally said:

"This discussion really deserves to be compared to Zhuge Wuhou in the evaluation of the light curtain."

"Just because of his deeds, it is enough to win the name of Zhongwu!"

"It can't be used, what a pity! What a pity!"

Li Shimin really felt that it was a pity, since the early Tang Dynasty just started, it is precisely this kind of talents who can advance and retreat and manage.

"Remember his deeds and make a separate biography. I will read it from time to time."

In the end, Li Shimin ordered so.

……

"One Zhenxiong is famous all over the world!"

The meaning is simple and easy to understand. Zhang Fei expressed his love and admiration:

"This Tang Dynasty literati is too good at boasting!"

"Indeed." Huang Zhong nodded solemnly and said:

"It's like General Zhang won a battle, no one should boast."

"The general of the Han Dynasty was flying, defeated Zhang Yun, and immediately ordered him to be inscribed."

Zhang Fei's face became visibly red, and he remained silent.

The hall laughed.

Pang Tong stared at the light curtain and said slowly:
"The braver the Guiyi army, the more Tong felt that there was no cure for this late Tang Dynasty."

"Zhang Yichao didn't inherit the Tang Dynasty, but because he wanted to pursue the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, he rose up in anger and restored the eleven prefectures that had been occupied for a hundred years."

"The hearts of the people are united, and the four sides are subjugated. In the end, the hearts of the people will open the old road and return to the country. In this way, the rebel army will neither provide food nor troops."

"It took three years to dig through Hexi again thanks to the loyalty and bravery of this group of survivors who have been defeated by the enemy for a hundred years."

Jian Yong said:

"This piece of discussion is aimed at the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but what we see when we break through Liangzhou is the late Tang Dynasty."

"It's like Kong Ming, who wants to be a strong man, but he has to mend it in this troubled world."

Kong Ming was startled, then laughed.

 Guiyi Army is worth talking about.
