History live broadcast: the beginning is Qin Shihuang's live broadcast of the subjugation of th

"In November of the third year of Zhenguan, the Eastern Turk generals Yalkin and Ashinadur led their troops to harass Hexi. This gave Li Shimin a reason to counterattack the Eastern Turks."

"Six generals, Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Chai Shao, Li Daozong, Xiaojie, and Xue Wanshu, each led the First Army to send troops to the East Turks, with Li Jing as the commander-in-chief."

"In the first month of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing led [-] cavalry from Mayi, entered Eryang Ridge, and attacked Xiangcheng by night."

"Jieli Khan did not expect that the Tang army could attack so quickly. He thought that if Li Jing dared to go deep alone, there must be a main force following him, so he hurriedly withdrew to Qikou."

"Li Jing also sent spies to alienate Jieli Khan's tribe, and successfully induced Jieli's confidant General Kang Sumi to kidnap Sui Yang's empress Xiao and her grandson Yang Zhengdao to Dingxiang and surrender to the Tang Dynasty."

"Jieli Khan saw that his confidants secretly surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Knowing that Qikou was no longer safe, he continued to lead his troops to retreat to the Yinshan Mountains. As a result, he encountered the Jinhe Army led by Chai Shao at the Hun River, and then again at Baidao. They were intercepted by Xu Shiji's Tongmo Army and the Eastern Turks were defeated."

"Khan Jieli finally withdrew to Tieshan and felt that he was no longer a match for the Tang army, so he sent his generals to Chang'an to apologize to Li Shimin and ask for surrender."

"But this is just a delaying tactic. He wants to use this to delay the war. When the grass is green and the horses are fertile, he will then move to Mobei and wait for an opportunity to make a comeback."

"Li Shimin took advantage of his plan and sent Honglu Qing Tang Jian and General An Xiuren to the East Turks to appease them, and secretly ordered Li Jing to lead his troops to respond."

"In February of the fourth year of Zhenguan, the armies of Li Jing and Xu Shiji joined forces."

"Xu Shiji analyzed that although the Eastern Turks were defeated, there were still many troops left. If they walked through the desert and were protected by Jiu Xingtiele, the Tang army might not be able to catch up."

"Now that Tang Jian is going there to comfort him, the East Turks will definitely relax their guard, which is a good opportunity for an attack."

"Li Jingshen thought so, but deputy general Zhang Gongjin was afraid that doing so would put Tang Jian and others in danger."

"As the coach, Li Jing naturally cannot only consider one person's safety. What he has to consider is how to completely destroy the Eastern Turks."

"In the end, Li Jing adopted Xu Shiji's suggestion and led his elite troops to attack overnight, and Xu Shiji led the army to follow up."

"When Jieli Khan saw the Tang envoy coming to comfort him, he really relaxed his vigilance."

"On the eighth day of February, Li Jing's general Su Dingfang led 200 cavalry as the vanguard. Under the cover of thick fog, he rushed to Jieli Khan's camp seven miles away before being discovered. Su Dingfang marched straight in and captured the Eastern Turks' camp. Jieli Khan Then take a thousand-mile horse and flee westward."

"Li Jing led the army to follow up and defeated the Turkic army."

"In this battle, the Tang army annihilated more than [-] Eastern Turks and captured more than [-] prisoners. Tang envoys Tang Jian and An Xiuren were also able to take advantage of the chaos and escape."

"Jieli Khan fled westward, hoping to defect to King Murong Fuyun of Tuguhun or King Qu Wentai of Gaochang. There were fewer and fewer generals following him on his escape, and soon there were only dozens of cavalry around him."

"It is unlucky for people to have their teeth choked after drinking cold water. Jieli Khan, like a lost dog, ran into Li Daozong's Datong army again. This time he did not run away and was captured by Tang general Zhang Baoxiang."

"In this way, the once arrogant Eastern Turks in the late Sui Dynasty perished under Li Shimin's lightning strike in just three months."

"Jieli Khan was not executed after being taken to Chang'an. Li Shimin generously named him King of Guiyi and General of the Right Guards, which moved Jieli Khan to tears."

"In the eighth year of Zhenguan, when Li Shimin held a state banquet in Weiyang Palace, he ordered Jieli Khan to dance in public. At that moment, all the shame of the Weishui Alliance no longer existed."

"Does this shame really not exist? Has Jieli Khan really let go of his prejudices?"

"Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was a man of great talent and strategy, and established immortal achievements. His diplomatic methods were also remarkable. However, when dealing with the Eastern Turks, he paid tribute as a vassal and withheld it for more than ten years. He gave up after he couldn't figure out what to do." "That's it. Unlike the Han Dynasty, if it was a foreign race, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not let it go, but Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty "Ren Zheng"!"

"He treated Tibet with both war and peace. He sent Princess Wencheng to Tibet and used money and beauties for diplomacy, which stabilized the Tang Dynasty and made it prosperous."

"Although his views on foreigners were different from those of Tang Taizong, in terms of diplomacy, Tang Taizong did a great job."

"A group of foreigners, especially the barbarians from the west, may not understand if they talk about Chinese culture, but music has no borders. Anyone can appreciate it when they play, play and sing, and the music is melodious and melodious."

“When talking about music, we cannot fail to mention musical instruments such as the pipa.”

"During the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were Qin Pipa and Han Pipa in the Central Plains, and their history can be said to have a long history."

“During the Northern Wei Dynasty, instruments such as Qiuci Pipa and Wuxian from the Western Regions were introduced to the Central Plains, which greatly impacted the music culture of the Central Plains.”

"After the Northern Dynasties, the Sui Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty, the music culture of the Western Regions, especially the pipa culture, was highly favored in the court. The great ancestor Li Yuan and Tang Taizong Li Shimin were both pipa lovers."

"When Li Shimin was in power, there was a musician in the court who was good at playing the pipa. His name was Luo Heihei, and he was proficient in the Chinese language."

"But because this man was wandering around the palace, Li Shimin had him castrated to prevent him from promiscuity in the palace, and left him in the palace to teach the palace people how to play the pipa."

"Luo Heihe is very good at playing the pipa and has made great contributions to Li Shimin's diplomacy."

"According to the Records of Chao Ye Qian Zai, when Li Shimin was in power, an envoy from a western country went to Chang'an to pay tribute, and by the way he brought a Hu man who was good at playing the pipa."

"This man composed a new piece of music, and the pipa he used was very special. The strings and plectrum are much thicker than the regular pipa."

"Obviously, this person is here to exchange art in name, but in fact he is here to compete."

"Li Shimin has never admitted defeat and does not want to lose face in this Pipa diplomacy."

"In order to outperform the Hu people, Li Shimin specially arranged a cocktail party to entertain the visiting envoys and at the same time appreciate the new pipa works of the Hu people."

"Before the banquet, Li Shimin ordered Luo Heihei to hide behind the curtain and listen to how the barbarians played and sang."

"When the pipa played, the foreigner raised his voice, but Luo Heihei never forgot it. After listening to it only once, he memorized the music, lyrics and tones."

"After the barbarians finished playing and singing, Li Shimin admired it in his heart, but he said that it didn't matter. The women in my harem can also play and sing."

"The Hu people didn't believe it, so Li Shimin ordered someone to get a large pipa and asked Luo Heihei to pretend to be a palace servant and play and sing behind the curtain. The result was exactly the same as what the Hu people had just played and sang, with the same notes and tunes."

"The barbarians don't know that the performer is Luo Heihei, a castrated man and a musician with an amazing memory."

"The barbarians were in disarray. A palace servant who had no strength to tie a chicken could actually memorize a new work that had just come out in an instant, and could easily play the heavy pipa. So he left in amazement and made a big deal after returning to China."

"This incident caused a strong sensation in the west. Countries all joined the Tang Empire of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. "When the Western countries heard about it, dozens of countries surrendered."

"In a case of pipa diplomacy, Li Shimin subdued the enemy's troops without fighting. That's awesome!"
