Then he said, “What’s more, there is Duke Gao here. General Changsun is also there. What dangers can there be in the Western Regions with Duke Gao and General Changsun?”
The young courtier had not yet recalled the smell, and the old minister with wind and frost on his face had already shown a calm and peaceful expression.
Su Wei was silent for a long time and sighed, “If Gao Zhaoxuan and Changsun Jisheng were not old, how could His Majesty need to be personally expeditioned?”
Pei Shiju shook his head, “Even if Gao Zhaoxuan and Changsun Jisheng are not old, His Majesty will go to personally expedition. He went to personally expedition just because he wanted to.”
Su Wei: “…”
He and the court officials could no longer be excited.
Forget it, I’m tired, Your Majesty, hurry up and don’t procrastinate, leave early and come back soon.
Why do we get into such a willful emperor?
Du Ruhui complained to Li Xuanba: “Can’t you find an excuse to stay in Lingnan and not come back? I don’t believe that you saw Your Majesty urging you, but you didn’t know that it was Your Majesty who wanted to fight in person. If you don’t come back and there is no one to supervise the country, Your Majesty will definitely not dare to leave Chang’an.”
Li Xuanba said: “I know. But I must stand on my second brother’s side.”
Du Ruhui: “…”
He turned to Wei Zheng and said, “Even if King Jin is supervising the country, you and I can impeach King Jin.”
Wei Zheng was already thinking about what to write.
Fang Qiao sighed and held her brow.
As soon as Xue Bobao became prime minister, why did he run to Lingnan? Come back for me!
The young emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Supreme Emperor who was “feared and had no choice but to suffer” left Beijing happily, and the king of Chu, with a bruised nose and swollen face, rubbed the corners of his mouth and muttered to follow.
The other generals held their heads and chests with their faces full of desire to make contributions and the sorrow that the merits might be stolen by others.
Li Xuanba watched the fancy Tang soldiers leave, remembered Li Zhao and Chai Shao who left Beijing early, and also remembered Chai Zhewei who was hungry at his home.
He not only wants to supervise the country, but also takes care of his pregnant sister-in-law, but also his little nephew who can’t speak.
Zhu Niang, come back quickly after finishing her work, I can’t bear it.
Li Xuanba sighed.
“Mother, sister-in-law, Aunt Wan, let’s go back.”
The three women looked at the backs of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty on tiptoe, saying “Okay”, but they didn’t take action for a long time.
Li Xuanba could only accompany them to continue waiting, and waited until even the smoke and dust that had risen from the horse’s hooves and footsteps dissipated before turning back to the palace.
In March of the fifth year of Zhenguan, after four years of rest and recuperation, the Tang Dynasty’s treasury was abundant.
At this time, the Western Turkic Khan was dead. His brother Ye Hu Khan calmed down the resistance force and claimed to have hundreds of thousands of powerful iron cavalry, reaching the peak of the Western Turkic strength.
IfThere is also the East Turks at this moment. There is an East Turk between the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty. They will also be at peace with each other due to the “family and close attacks”.
But unfortunately, the Eastern Turks were destroyed by Li Shimin early. If the Tang Dynasty wanted to regain control of the Silk Road in the Western Regions, it could only fight with the Western Turks.
The Khan of Tongye Hu was also well aware of this and began to act early, attacking the Tiel tribes who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty many times.
The Uighur Khan Ye Hu lobbled the Tiel tribes and moved eastward with the Tiel tribes. Relying on the solid stronghold of the Tang Dynasty in Yiwu City, he resisted the attack of the Western Turks.
Changsun Sheng and Changsun Wuji and his son went to lobby for the Western Regions countries, so that the kings of the Western Regions who are currently under the rule of the Western Turks should think carefully whether to stand on the side of the Western Turks that only let them pay taxes, or stand on the side of the Tang Dynasty that would reopen the Silk Road and take them with them in gold and silver.
The kings of the Western Regions have read history books, so they will not know how prosperous the small countries along the route were when the Silk Road of the Han Dynasty was unobstructed.
