Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 274 The thought of surrendering to Tang Dynasty

Liu Bei felt a little regretful for a while.

I regretted leaving my sword outside when I came in.

But it doesn't matter, Liu Bei's eyes wandered around the yamen and looked at the wall next to him.

A decorative ceremonial sword hangs there.

Zhang Fei jumped up quickly:

Zilong and I are brothers, so we need your full help in cavalry matters!

Liu Bei then sat down again.

Seeing Yide and Zilong getting together and muttering, Liu Bei looked at the light screen again.

What he cares more about is that Gaochang, with his level of strength, can split the earth and establish a country, which will last for more than a hundred years.

Why does this Western Region feel like a good place to hang out?

Liu Bei couldn't help but feel leisurely and fascinated.

Yan Lide and Yan Liben traced the horseshoes listed on the rapid light screen.

It's easy to shoe horses, but it's quite difficult to nail horseshoes.

This is Yan Lide's evaluation after careful consideration.

Even Yan Lide is no stranger to this. Isn't this what people commonly call horse iron shoes?

And just as Light Screen said, people all know that this thing is easy to use, but it is too troublesome.

One is that in severe cold weather, horse iron shoes can easily slip when stepping on ice and snow, causing horses to fall and be injured.

Another thing is that iron nails are too expensive for the common people to afford, and too cheap for blacksmiths to make.

So looking at the emperor who was deep in thought, Yan Lide tried to give his own advice:

Your Majesty, if you want to install this thing, you should set up a nailsmith.

Li Shimin also silently calculated it in his mind, and then felt a little stunned.

The horseshoes listed in the light curtain require at least three nails to fix, and some even have eight nail holes.

To equip a team of 4,000 cavalry with the simplest horseshoes, almost 50,000 nails are needed, which is not a small amount.

Li Shimin directly named the candidate:

After the light curtain ends, Lide and the pharmacist stay behind and tell me about the iron nail.

Hou Junji next to him was a little hurt for a moment:

Can you give the protagonist some respect?

[For the Tang Dynasty, destroying Gaochang was just a casual act. How to govern it was a question.

The ministers of the DPRK and China headed by Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang believed that it was appropriate to establish Xichang Prefecture.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty believed that it was appropriate to establish Xizhou.

Although there is only one word difference between Xizhou and Xichangzhou, they represent completely different meanings.

Because in the Tang Dynasty, if the name of a state had two characters, it would mean Jizhou.

Jisi, that is, win-win control, is what we commonly call Hu people's autonomy. They can listen to the tune but not the propaganda, and have strong autonomy.

The appointment and dismissal of officials, tax collection, financial expenditures, etc. in Jizhou are all decided by Jizhou itself and only need to be reported to the central government.

But if the state name has only one word, it means that it is a territory directly under the central government of the Tang Dynasty.

The appointment of officials, tax collection, systems and the army were all decided by the Tang Central Committee.

After two months of quarreling, it was not until Hou Junji was captured and imprisoned that Li Shimin successfully suppressed his objections and decided on the name Xizhou.

Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang were very surprised, because using Jizhou to control the Western Regions was a method of the Han Dynasty, which was an advanced experience that could be followed.

Moreover, Li Shimin had not been so resistant to the establishment of Jisuzhou before.

As for the sudden change in Erfeng's attitude, it involves a rebellion case one year before the demise of Gaochang Kingdom. 】

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Hou Junji.

Even Fang Xuanling, who had always been steady, couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Isn't Duke Lu the first to rebel?

The rebellion of Li Xiaochang, Luo Yi and others in the first year of Zhenguan can only be regarded as the aftermath of the Wude Year.

But Hou Junji didn't have time to think about that much for the time being.

It must be that I did not obey the holy order and was not strict with my subordinates, which led to the fault.

There is no need to infer that Hou Junji pleads guilty on the spot.

Anyway, no matter what crime was committed, these two charges can be included.

Li Shimin glanced at Hou Junji and said quietly:

Later generations will say that when you defeated Gaochang, you took the lead in plundering and plundering, and you took your own initiative to deal with the nobles of Gaochang.

Sweat immediately covered Hou Junji's forehead:

No wonder what happened after returning to Chang'an was so strange!

I indulge in arrogance and violate discipline, and this is what I deserve!

Hou Junji was about to bow down and apologize, when Li Shimin got up and grabbed his arm:

When you really do this, it won't be too late to prosecute you.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Hou Junji quickly promised:

I must keep this in mind and be vigilant every day!

Du Ruhui was afraid that he would not be able to hold back his smile any longer, so he analyzed:

The light curtain put them together, saying that this is why everyone gave up their restraints.

It can be seen that these rebels are those who are under the control of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin immediately concluded:

It must be Turks!

In Li Shimin's view, Hu people were what later generations would call shameless people.

And the Turks are truly the best among them!

[After Jieli was captured by Li Jing and danced for Erfeng, there were still some young khans left in the East Turks.

Two people stand out among them:

One is Ashina Sher, who originally guarded the west of the Eastern Turks. After Jieli was captured, he directly led his troops to flee to the Western Regions and captured half of the Western Turks' territory, calling himself Dub Khan.

After serving as Khan for two years, Dubu Khan raised a large army to conquer Xue Yantuo in order to avenge the Eastern Turks' annihilation of the country.

It can only be said that it is very reasonable. I can't beat Datang, but I can't beat you?

In the end, he had never been beaten before. After being beaten up by Xue Yantuo, Dubu Khan immediately realized:

I don’t want to be a bastard anymore!

As the saying goes, as soon as I think of going to Tang Dynasty, I suddenly feel that the world is vast.

In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Dubu Khan led his troops to defect to the Tang Dynasty, destroyed Gaochang, pacified the Western Regions, and conquered Goguryeo. This person participated in all of them and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

The most important thing is that he followed the famous general Li 𪟝 to destroy Xue Yantuo and successfully took revenge.

In the end, he became a general and became a duke. He was another general of the Tang Dynasty. 】

This Dubu is quite thoughtful.

Li Jing commented:

Afterwards, when we were checking out the remnants of the Eastern Turks, we heard that this man was running westward. Before that, we thought he must have been tolerated by the Western Turks.

did not expect……

Li Jing shook his head. This man changed from a general of the Eastern Turks to a khan who was in conflict with the Western Turks.

In the end, he entered the court as a general, fought in all directions, and became the general and duke of the Tang Dynasty. His life experience was rich.

Mao Gong's credit has been paid. Li Jing said with a smile.

Li Shi's eyes were shining, he was waiting for him, and the protagonist this time was indeed him!

Then he glanced excitedly at Su Dingfang, who was hiding his disappointment:

Young man, you have to respect your seniors, do you understand?

However, as Guangmu said, Conquer the three kingdoms and capture the three kings, this is only one Xue Yantuo. What about the other two?

Li Shimin's face was calm. After all, it was not a big deal to appoint Hu people as generals when the Tang Dynasty began.

And now as the Khan of Heaven, he naturally has to recruit all the unsuccessful talents from all over the world and let them be used by the Tang Dynasty.

For a moment, Li Shimin held his chin and thought:

Should we compile the experiences of such Hu generals into novels for later generations?

Muyang'er was born, but was despised by the tribe, and finally joined the Tang Dynasty and was employed, leaving his name in history.

He despised the barbarism of the barbarians and admired the enlightenment of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, the nonsense poem that this junior made up later was also correct.

When I think of Tou Tang, I suddenly feel that the world is vast.

The territory of our Tang Dynasty is quite wide.

I, the God-Khan, have a very broad mind.

[The other is Tuli Khan.

After Jie Li was captured, Tu Li surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and was granted the title of governor of the state. He had a house in Chang'an and lived a very leisurely life.

But there was one person who had a strong opinion, Tuli Khan's younger brother, Ashina Lili.

He couldn't stand the idea that his brother was enjoying himself all day long and had no ambition as a prairie man, so he reported his brother on the spot for treason.

After it was found out that the accusation was false, Tuli Khan and Li Shimin scolded him so much that they even cut his salary in half. He was immediately unhappy.

In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, the Ashina Association heard the news that Li Shimin moved to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat.

So this person summoned forty old Turks and announced his rebellion plan:

Li Shimin's son Li Zhi would ride out of the palace every day. We would ambush on both sides. When the palace gate opened, we would rush in and hack Li Shimin to death!

As soon as Li Shimin died, the Tang Dynasty was in chaos. We will lead the old Turkic tribes back to the grasslands and rebuild the Turkic Khanate!

As a result, something unexpected happened as soon as this plan was implemented:

There was a strong wind that night. Seeing that the weather was not good, Li Zhi did not leave the palace.

The Turks, who had been ambushing outside for a long time, finally decided to attack with the thought that they were coming.

Jiucheng Palace was just a summer palace, and more than 40 Turks successfully broke into it.

After fighting for a while, seeing that there was no hope of assassination, he seized the horse and tried to flee north to the Turkic homeland. On the way, he was surrounded by the imperial guards and executed.

The biggest impact of this rebellion was that the Turkic tribesmen imprisoned in the Loop were restless.

Li Shimin was almost forced to re-canonize a Turkic Khan and let him lead the Turkic tribes back to their homeland.

Regarding this matter, Li Shimin's evaluation of himself was two words: embarrassed.

And afterwards he lamented that he regretted not using Wei Zheng's words.

Because there were also two factions when it came to dealing with the Turks:

Wei Zheng believed that the Turks were ambitious, so he would either completely break them up and move them to Hebei for enlightenment, or drive them to Mobei to check and balance each other with Xue Yantuo.

Wen Yanbo believed that we should follow Liu Xiu's policy of restraining the southern Xiongnu and set aside a piece of land nearby to facilitate management.

Li Shimin finally adopted Wen Yanbo's opinions, which ultimately led to the assassination.

Because of this, Li Shimin's attitude towards Gaochang changed from restrained to direct jurisdiction.

This also meant that the Tang army officially entered the Western Regions in person, thus launching the Tang Dynasty's vigorous territorial expansion. 】

Fang Xuanling's expression was subtle:

Previously, Wen Dalin, the minister of Zhongshu, did have a strategy to control the Turkic remnants.

However, several people who had stayed in Ganlu Hall had different views on Turks than before, so Jisu was not adopted in the end.

What Wei Zheng was doing in the north at this time was decided upon by them together.

Most of them are divided into smaller ones so that they can live across the county and no private association is allowed.

A small group of people were scattered into households, and were incorporated into various states and counties and registered as Tang citizens.

The person involved, Li Shimin, jumped up immediately:

We are told that Wei Zheng, the younger brother of Tuli Khan, will be sent as far away as possible!

He is patient with Hou Junji, but has no good temper towards barbarians.

Not only did he say he was defeated, but he actually wanted to assassinate him? !

And it's just distribution, not execution. Even Liu Bei has to praise him for his kindness!

Doesn’t this barbarian like the grassland? Then send him to the barren mountains and rivers to see enough!

Only then did Li Shimin understand why the Turks had been destroyed at this time.

But later, An Lushan came from a Turkic tribe and became an enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

What a embarrassment, you just took it off for fun!
