Great Tang Broom Star

Anzai.

This is the core area of ​​Datang in the Western Regions.

With the influx of immigrants, the city is also expanding.

After the expansion of Kucha City was completed, the spacious city was completely devoid of any exotic style, just like the one in the Central Plains.

Caravans came and went between the East and the West in an endless stream, bringing goods and prosperity.

"Chang'an is a good place, I have never seen such a lush place."

At the gate of the city, the merchants praised Datang while watching the soldiers inspecting their goods.

"I'm just coming from Chang'an, my God, the huge city, those people are gorgeously dressed, my God! I swear I have never seen such a rich place. I will bring more goods next year, I swear if I can As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, I will worship the gods devoutly."

The little officials at the side took their customs clearance documents and verified the inspections along the way. Hearing this, he raised his eyes, "There are many ways to become a commoner in the Tang Dynasty."

The businessman happily asked, "For example..."

The little official said: "First, pay enough taxes and be willing to be loyal to His Majesty; second, buy enough property in the Tang Dynasty and contribute enough, and be willing to be loyal to His Majesty; third, survive being captured as a coolie..."

The businessman asked: "I still understand the first and second, but what does the third mean?"

"Do you think the third party doesn't need to spend money?" The little official thinks that businessmen are really greedy people, "Whoever dares to show his teeth to Datang, is lucky if he is captured after the war, and then he will go to Datang to build roads or mines. If you don't die after ten years, you still have a chance to become a commoner of Tang Dynasty."

Thirty years later, many people will not live to be thirty! To live to the age of forty is longevity. The businessman looked confused, "I saw a lot of people building roads and canals along the way, are they all prisoners?"

"What do you think?" The official raised his eyes suddenly.

The sound of hooves came.

"Urgent report!"

The little official shouted: "Get out of the way, everyone out of the way!"

The caravan dispersed, and the city gate immediately vacated, and then more than ten riders rushed in.

"There are Tocharians!"

There were more clouds in the little official's eyes.

Not long after, there was a roar in the governor's mansion.

"Let everyone be on alert, and send scouts in the direction of Tocharo. Tell them to go to Chang'an immediately to report the news, and bring the Tocharian envoy with them. If he dares to escape on the way, kill him!"

Anxi moved.

The immigrants were all notified.

"There is a fight on the Tucharo side. The Anxi Duhu Mansion tells you to wait, work with peace of mind, and live with peace of mind, but the men should strengthen their drills. Once the enemy comes, they will use the horizontal knife in their hands to tell those enemies that they are wrong. out of place!"

The people were startled for a moment, and then cheered.

"There is a chance to make meritorious service!"

The men happily searched for their own weapons, and the women counted the money and food at home and began to stockpile food.

Immediately, villages and squares everywhere began to organize young men to practice.

The sound of shouting and killing rang out all day long.

This is a place of honor!

War is their prize!

...

"I don't understand. Is your majesty doing nothing or something? Changed it again."

Li Jingye was whining.

He is very comfortable in the position of Yongzhou Changshi, but he is very entangled in the year name.

"Looking at the document, I have to wonder what year it is..."

This is indeed a problem.

"Look at the first emperor, one Zhenguan can be used from the beginning to the end." Li Jingye felt that the first emperor was really wise.

Jia Pingan smiled.

Li Zhi's frequent change of year name naturally has his political considerations in it, for example, to show his sense of presence... In the days when his illness frequently broke out, he used this method to show his existence.

The same is true for Auntie, but she is the empress and can handle the government affairs herself, so it seems ridiculous that she changed the year name, and in Jia Ping's eyes, it is the same goal by different routes.

It's all about presence!

"Brother, a group of beauties have just arrived in Pingkangfang, and they are said to be blonde."

Li Jingye was almost drooling, "This blond-haired guy is going to go with me?"

Jia Ping's head was full of black lines, "Go by yourself, and be careful not to get dirty."

Li Jingye said proudly: "I soak it in wine every time after dumping."

You're not afraid of getting soaked... Jia Pingan's cheeks twitched, "Get lost!"

After Li Jingye left, Jia Ping'an was thinking about the recent affairs in the court.

The crown prince supervises the country, and the emperor is behind the scenes. This kind of cooperation is good. But recently, it was reported that Sister Ah made another move, arguing endlessly with the emperor... the purpose was also to help her. You say I'm wrong, I say you're stupid...

The palace is very lively!

The prince has become a sandwich biscuit again. After everything has been dealt with, he has to ask these two most distinguished bosses for advice. It's fine if it's a compliment, but if there's a problem... then it's not his problem, but a problem between the emperor and empress.

They will argue, fight, and argue about what to do about it.

Li Hong was troubled by it, but Jia Pingan said it was not a bad thing.

The emperor is not in good health, so he can't see things. The queen can't supervise the country... So the couple spends all day in the palace, you don't like me, and I don't like you. Such disputes are also a means of finding a sense of existence.

"Duke, urgent military situation!"

Bao Dong came in with a stern expression on his face.

"where?"

Jia Ping took a sip of tea.

"Say it's Dashi."

Jia Pingan took a deep breath, "It's finally here!"

He got up and left the restaurant, and came to the edge of a brothel, "Dedicated."

A window on the second floor was roughly pushed open and almost fell apart. Li Jingye poked out his flushed face, "Brother, what's the matter?"

A strand of blond hair looms below.

"It's urgent, go back early."

"knew."

Li Jingye turned around without closing the window, and then came the sound of panting, and some blunt Datang dialect... a woman speaking.

"Yeah, forgive me..."

...

In the palace, the resting emperor came.

"Where is it?"

"Your Majesty, it's the envoy of Tochara, who said it was a big food attack, and the envoy is outside."

"Let him in."

The envoy came in, saluted and begged: "Your Majesty, Dashi has dispatched an army and is attacking Tocharo..."

"What does Da Shi want to do?"

The emperor was not in a hurry, and asked calmly.

Dai Zhide said: "Your Majesty, I think Dashi is coveting Anxi."

Liu Rengui glanced at him with contempt in his eyes, "This matter can only be confirmed after Anxi's report."

He glanced at the messenger.

——Can you trust the words of the foreign envoy?

Dai Zhide was stabbed in the back.

Although the emperor's vision was blurred, he only needed to hear these words to know what happened.

He is happy to see such contradictions, and he has also taught the prince.

"Your Majesty, Duke Zhao is asking to see you."

Dai Zhide breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at Liu Rengui.

Liu Rengui coughed dryly and put away his weapon.

——The Great Tang Prime Minister's Weapons Manual, fifth: Liu Rengui's backstab.

Footsteps came, and the messenger turned back.

Jia Ping'an entered the hall, saluted and said, "I heard that the Tocharian envoy came to ask for help, but did you say that the Dashi invaded?"

The messenger said respectfully: "Yes."

Jia Pingan asked, "How did Dashi invade?"

"Army!" said the messenger.

Jia Pingan frowned, "If Dashi dispatched an army, Tucharuo would have been destroyed by now."

Well!

yes ha!

The envoy's cowhide was pierced, and he choked up and said: "The big cannibals keep sending out rangers, and many rangers keep rushing in and strangling our people..."

Damn!

The liar!

Dai Zhide was extremely annoyed, and only then did he realize that Liu Rengui was right.

But Liu Rengui is very quiet at the moment, not domineering.

Jia Pingan continued to ask: "Dashi will not attack suddenly. If it does so suddenly, it must be with a thunderous force, and it will not be strangled by any ranger. Then... are there any clues before the incident? Are there any messengers?"

The emperor on the throne nodded slightly.

This is the demeanor of a handsome man.

The prince is studying silently.

The envoy glanced at Jia Pingan, with a look of awe in his eyes, "Yes, Dashi sent an envoy before the incident, asking... Asking whether Tocharo is the territory of Datang."

Jia Pingan said: "You must say no."

The envoy lowered his head, "The lord is worried that... Dashi will send troops."

"Both ends of the first mouse."

Someone snorted coldly.

Jia Pingan turned around, "Your Majesty, I thought this was a challenge from Dashi. They used envoys to test Tocharo. No matter whether Tocharo said yes or no, they would send out rangers to harass."

"What is the purpose?" asked the emperor.

Jia Pingan said: "Datang defeated Tubo and guarded Congling. Immediately, the big and small Bolu bowed their heads to Datang. Datang has already built a line of defense on the side of Anxi near Tubo. At this moment, Dashi is most worried about Datang Turning west... Persia bears the brunt."

"Be the first to strike first?"

Jia Pingan shook his head, "Da Shi dare not take the risk of a full-scale war with Datang... You must know that Datang has wiped out the surrounding enemies now, and the invincible tiger is doing nothing. If there is a full-scale war, Datang will use Anxi as the base camp to attack Conquering the Western Regions, constantly expelling the big cannibals...so I think that the big cannibals are sending out a challenge, and as for Tocharo, it is just a dessert before the meal."

The emperor nodded, "You mean...the big cannibal challenged the Tang Dynasty by harassing Tocharo, which is a kind of restraint and prudence."

"yes."

The emperor understood, "If Tang ignores it, it will be considered weak, and the big cannibal will immediately break through Tucharo and attack Anxi..."

"The method is good."

Dai Zhide felt that he needed to make amends, "But if Datang wins..."

"There is no need to keep chasing and killing them." Jia Pingan said: "The big cannibals are now expanding in all directions. What Datang needs to do is... use a hearty victory to make them dare not peep. Then they can only go Go west."

"Is there a strong country in the west?"

"Yes, for example, Eastern Rome, and there are some countries in the past, and some of them are powerful..."

"Drive the tiger and devour the wolf!"

Jia Pingan nodded, "The big cannibal is like a giant at the moment, and he has to find a place to vent all his strength. If Datang declines, he will naturally smash Datang. If Datang goes to war with them, then this power will be exhausted." They will all be directed at Datang."

The emperor said: "The territory of the Tang Dynasty is too vast."

The courtiers understood.

The territory of Datang is too vast, would it be beneficial to start a full-scale war with Dashi?

No!

Why do things that are not beneficial?

Decades later, Dashi's army in the east was dispatched. Yusuf ordered the army under his command to attack, saying that whoever led the army to the territory of Datang first would be the chief of the occupied area of ​​Datang.

But after the generals under his command attacked the surrounding areas of Datang, no one dared to step into the territory of Datang.

Decades later, the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty began to attack all parts of the Western Regions. Gao Xianzhi led the army invincible, and the countries in the Western Regions were terrified. Prince Shi fled to Dashi and asked Dashi for help.

Dashi found an excuse to go to war, but Gao Xianzhi was ready to strike first.

He ran for a long distance alone and encountered a big cannibal.

The big cannibal cunningly bought Datang's servant Ge Luolu's department, and when the two sides were fighting, Ge Luolu's department suddenly turned back, and Datang was defeated.

But even so, the main force of the Tang Mansion soldiers still suffered little damage, and their fighting power shocked the big cannibals. As a result, the big cannibal withdrew his coveting gaze towards the east.

The craftsmen who accompanied the army in that battle were captured, and they brought many things to the big cannibal that shocked the big cannibal.

The emperor turned his gaze.

The envoy was taken down a long time ago, waiting anxiously outside the palace.

Who will lead.

This problem is very troublesome.

Li Ji?

Li Ji is recuperating at home, and he is in good health now.

But letting an old man in his seventies take command and go thousands of miles away to fight a big battle, not to mention the emperor, even Wang Zhongliang would feel inappropriate.

So who else?

The emperor has lost trust in Xue Rengui, and unless he cannot find a general, he will not be reused.

His eyes focused on Jia Ping'an.

But everyone knows that after the war with Tubo, Jia Ping'an's prestige is getting higher and higher. If he loses again...

It has always been taboo to not reward high meritorious deeds.

Many famous generals killed themselves in this way.

Jia Ping'an should be silent.

But who can go but him?

Pei Xingjian and others have already emerged, but their ability and prestige are still not enough to control them in the national war.

After looking around, it turned out to be Jia Ping'an.

Shaopeng appeared.

"The queen ordered the servants to come and invite Duke Zhao to go."

Sure enough, the queen still cared about this younger brother, and calling him at this time was to avoid choosing generals.

Jia Pingan took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, I have been unwell in recent years... I have been suffering in the army, and my body is afraid... I want to focus on literary affairs..."

Is Zhao Guogong going to be a civil servant?

Concentrate on literary affairs, that is, no longer lead the fight.

This turn is fantastic.

Thus broke the dilemma.

Jia Pingan said: "However, I feel that I can do it again before turning it into a literary matter."

The prime ministers, "..."

This shameless!

——When I get rid of the big cannibals, I will turn to literary affairs and will no longer lead the army.

Everyone looked at the emperor.

Yes or no?

Jia Pingan coughed dryly, "I'm not in good health, I guess I'll have to beg for bones after working for a few more years... Please allow me to retire before Lent, so I'll leave this body behind..."

What are you going to do?

This is something everyone cares about.

Jia Pingan said: "Go and manage the school."

There was a hint of admiration in the emperor's eyes.

He nodded slightly.

No official is light, brother to do education!

Then he went to the queen.

After asking the question, the empress was disappointed, "I will be an official in Lent..."

Jia Pingan smiled and said: "Sister, there are many things worth pursuing in this world, and education is what I am most concerned about. A hundred-year plan, education comes first. If education is done well, people in the future will build me a temple ..."

...

The army is gathering.

"this is the last time."

Jia Pingan told his women about his future plans.

"I don't know how to imitate Li Jing, it's too tiring. I'm going to retire after beating the cannibal. With the title of Zhao Guogong, I will go around and look around, build a new school, revise textbooks, set up some workshops, and make some treasures... "

Wei Wushuang said, "That's fine too."

Su Ho said: "In that case, Da Lang will just catch up."

Jia Pingan retired, Jia Yu entered the officialdom, and the father and son handed over perfectly.

...

The army is gathering.

Jia Ping'an still summoned those generals.

"This is the last battle I will wait for with you. From now on... Datang will depend on what you wait for."

Jia Pingan felt that he was an inheritor. At this time in history, Datang still had to use Li Ji, a 70-year-old man, to conquer Goryeo, and he fell into the dilemma of having no generals available.

But it's different now.

Pei Xingjian and others gradually matured in many battles.

Gao Yang wanted to send Li Shuo into the Western Expedition Army, but Jia Pingan refused.

"My child cannot lead an army."

Gao Yang stared, "Why?"

Jia Pingan smiled wryly, "I have too much prestige in the army, and the children have entered the army... There will be endless troubles."

It's not that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, but mice give birth to burrows.

Except that the emperor needs to inherit, there cannot be a situation where both father and son are in command.

"If Li Weigong's descendant is the commander in the army, Li Jingye is the commander..." Gao Yang understood.

Then the grass on the grave is three feet high.

But she still felt aggrieved, "Why can both father and son be prime ministers?"

"But it is impossible for father and son to be ministers of power."

Lu Dongzan and his son were both, so they were purged.

"If Cao Pi doesn't usurp the Han, the Cao family will die sooner or later without a place to bury him."

Jia Pingan gave this silly woman heavy medicine.

Gao Yang was stunned, "I'm not planning to rebel!"

Jia Ping'an and Li Shuo were full of black lines.

...

Xincheng is waiting for him with his children.

"It's been a long time since I left. When I return, Da Lang will be able to talk."

Jia Pingan hugged the child and teased it gently.

Xincheng looked at him, "Can I go to Sichuan again?"

Jia Pingan smiled and raised his eyes, "Yes!"

He ended up going to Da Ci'en Temple.

Xuanzang put down the scriptures and said, "The poor monk will pray for the army."

There has never been any way out, and there is only a piece of pure land in my heart.

Jia Pingan sat down and calmed down, "Master, is it possible to travel back and forth in time in this world?"

He never understood where he came from.

Why come.

Xuanzang said: "Come and go, it's all here. Wherever you are, time will be there. Why bother about where you come and go."

"yes."

Jia Pingan nodded, "I'm going to the Western Regions now. I remember that the master went to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures. Can you teach me?"

Xuanzang's eyes were full of nostalgia, "Those years are unforgettable for the poor monk. Every step is worth remembering. When you are on the road, you will find out...how much joy it is to find yourself. "

He looked at Jia Pingan, "Even if you are in the midst of prosperity and wealth, you must stay awake."

Jia Ping'an smiled, "I'm going to be an official when I come back."

Xuanzang looked at him, "Good."

Jia Pingan stood up, "Master, take care."

Xuanzang nodded.

Jia Ping'an walked in the Da Ci'en Temple.

The bell rings suddenly behind...

...

The book is about to be finished, our monthly pass can't be too shabby, right, ask for a ticket!

Good night!
