Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Two months passed in a flash, and in the middle of the twelfth lunar month, as the year approached, Luoyang became more and more commercial.

At this time, a special market opened again: the slave market.However, they quietly moved outside the city, in order to save some people's face.

The Persian scholars who have moved to Guozijian do not know that they are still writing books all day long.

Yes, they brought thirty camels of books, but how could this satisfy Shao Shude's appetite?The knowledge in the belly must also be written down, and not only written down, but also systematically.

He is not picky about food, he wants everything, even the calendar of the big food is required to be written.

The people from Honglu Temple were responsible for the translation, but only one of them was proficient in mathematics, so they couldn't be busy at all.There was no other way, so I finally invited several students from the Imperial College who could speak Sogdian to come over and take a closer look.

Among the twelve Persian scholars, including Bardia, only half are pure Persians, and there are four Sogdians and two cannibals, so second-hand translations can be made.

After the translation work of the books was completed, the Guozijian Committee sent people to organize, proofread, and even re-edit them, and finally sent them to Shao Shude's desk, and he personally decided which ones would become textbooks.

These tasks are boring, tedious and tedious.

There is neither the heroic blood of gold and iron horses on the battlefield, nor the sweet-bellied swords that come and go in court, but it is indeed an important part of consolidating the foundation of an empire.

Shao Shude's ambition is too great, and he is willing to make troubles, so that's all he can do.

In fact, he is also silently paying attention to the progress of this work, and every time a part is completed, someone will sort it out and transcribe it for him to review in advance.

He found that among the books written by the twelve camels, the proportion of mathematics knowledge is the largest, and the rest are astronomy and navigation, art architecture, customs, philosophical speculation, etc., and even the "Creation Book", which is also a ghost. Uh, there is no need to translate this book.

It can be seen that what they are best at is actually mathematics, mechanics, architecture, astronomy, navigation and the like-the latter few have a lot to do with mathematics.

This is also normal.

Other disciplines are too productive, and the level of productivity is not enough. It is hard to say how much development has been made.In contrast, mathematics is the least productive subject, because it can sit and talk, and only rely on a smart brain and a good academic atmosphere to dig deeper.

This realization made Shao Shude slightly regretful.

But he can also accept.The times are like this, with the strength of one person, the times can only be slightly improved, but they cannot go against the sky.He has done enough, he can't really go against the sky.

The ancient sciences, except for mathematics and a large number of applied mathematics subjects, were relatively primitive.In the land of Huaxia, it is already good to catch up with this wave, and the rest will depend on the fortune of future generations.

At least, he has raised the status of the so-called "miscellaneous subjects" and given them the opportunity to become officials, which has the soil for scientific development.

Without the shelter and support of top political figures, science can only falter.

In the past, there was the shackles of the medieval church on the development of science, and later, there was the negative impact of Confucianism's domination of the world in this regard.

Europeans finally got rid of the influence of the church and broke free from the shackles.

Can the Chinese return to the state of contention among a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods?Little does he know, he's already turned the steering wheel, stomped on the gas pedal, and the rest can only be counted on for posterity.

"Conferring Yang Liang the Duke of Renshou County." In the Shendu Garden, Shao Shude's expression was a bit sentimental, and he said: "Confer the title of his son Yang Sen as the Duke of Renshou County, the founder of the country, and seal two thousand households."

Yang Liang died, and died in Juzhanti.

It has been some time since the news came back.

The mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and the messenger detoured to Bingdaban in the north, and sent it back to Shule via Gumo Prefecture.

Shule didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately sent it back to the capital five hundred miles away.

Normally, if the retreat is in September and the snow has not closed the mountain, the messenger will not make such a detour.But this year the weather is abnormal. It began to snow in mid-August, and it continued for several days, with snowflakes as big as a mat.

At that time, Yang Liang led his army to break through more than ten cities of Bahan, and tens of thousands of people attacked the Juzhanti area.

The Persians really couldn't draw any troops, so they could only close the city gate, put on a posture of being beaten, and waited for Xia Jun to retreat by himself.

But heavy snow disrupted all plans.

Yang Liang counted the time and looked at the weather. He felt that after the troops withdrew to the east, the mountain road must be completely blocked by heavy snow, and it would be extremely dangerous to cross by force.

Therefore, he simply divided up his troops to plunder, collected all the grain and grass he could grab, slaughtered all the livestock he could grab, and confiscated cattle and sheep from the Turkic tribes, slaughtered them to make dried meat, and added the grain and grass he carried with the army. The beginning of spring next year will not be a big problem.

After doing this, he simply made up his mind and continued to fight westward, and indulged in military discipline to boost morale.

At the end of September, the army advanced to the city of Juzhanti and failed to attack repeatedly.

Turkic mercenaries arrived from the west. Yang Liang ordered Governor Li Siyuan's army to attack the city. He led thousands of elite soldiers to defeat the Turkic people.

The disastrous defeat of the reinforcements greatly shook the will of the defenders.

Yang Liang came to the city again to direct the siege.During the period, he also beheaded two generals of the imperial army who were not good at attacking the city.

The tribal soldiers and the captured Bahana people suffered heavy casualties, but the fighting never stopped.

By mid-October, the defenders were already crumbling.

Unfortunately, Yang Liang, who came to the city to boost morale, was hit by a arrow, injured and fell off his horse.

After being carried back to the camp, he summoned generals and chieftains of the Fan tribe, and ordered Li Siyuan to lead the army and continue to attack the city.

On October 21, the army broke through and put up a battle.

Yang Liang took his last breath after seeing the city was broken.

At present, Li Siyuan is leading nearly 1 forbidden soldiers, more than [-] foreign soldiers, and more than [-] Bahan Nadingzhuang temporarily captured, and they are stationed in various cities.

The news came to an abrupt end.

"In the past, I had only two hundred soldiers, and Yang Liang was the chief of fire..." Shao Shude sat on the dragon chair, feeling very depressed.

The good news brought by Persian scholars' eastward journey has been greatly diluted.

At this time, memories came to mind uncontrollably.

When attacking Lanzhou, they rushed and fought fiercely, broke into the city, and killed Tubo and fled in embarrassment.

When he was in Ping Hanzhong, he held a Mo knife in his hand, smashing the front and breaking the sharp edge, chopping the head of the barbarian.

In the crucial battle for Heyang, Yang Liang, under the nose of Zhang Quanyi, killed Ankang Ba and left calmly.

In the Battle of Luoyang, Yang Liang fought fiercely with the rebels in the ruins in the north of the city, causing Kou Yanqing to abandon Luoyang and retreat to the south, and was finally wiped out.

He also led the Golden Saber Army to fight against Nuo Zhenshui's Abu Si tribe and smashed it.

He fought the Khitans in Ruyuan.

The prince led the army to Ping Hanzhong, and when he went down to Shuzhong, Yang Liang followed the army and killed Zhuge'an, the governor of Bizhou.

During the Western Expedition, Yang Liang went to Haozhe Town and led more than a thousand soldiers to Keting Prefecture.When the city was broken, he was hit by three arrows, and his armor was stained with blood.

Next, when attacking Gumo, Shule, Bahana and other places, he was even more brave and visited the front line many times to boost morale.

He may not be a first-rate commander, but every person who achieves great success must have several such generals under his command.

Many battles are unreasonable. You have a complete arrangement, no mistakes, and advantages in all aspects, but you lose. The reason may be that someone led elite soldiers to the battle, messing up your big formation and turning the tables.

This world was actually brought down by Yang Liang one by one with the help of him.

The old brother's horse leather shroud made Shao Shude suddenly have a lot of disgust for Persia.

He tried his best to control his emotions.

When a person is old, his prestige has reached its peak. Compared with the time when he was fighting the world, no one dares to advise him.

He doesn't even have to play tricks with his courtiers, because he is the founder of the army and the co-lord of the world. He kills whoever he wants, and keeps everyone silent.

But he still has reason, and he knows how to maintain a sense of awe, where the limits and limits are.

"The peace talks with Persia continue." He said, "By the way, do the Persians know that Yang Liang is dead?"

"I don't know." Zhongshu's assistant Zhao Guangfeng said.

"Then lie to them, saying that the whole territory of Bahan has been captured by me, and there are not many people here, so it is useless." After being sentimental, Shao Shude quickly entered the state of a kind-faced and dark Shao thief, and continued: "Send a messenger to the west, seven hundred li in a hurry, appoint Li Siyuan as the commander of the Shule camp, and Pei Xiu as the supervisor."

"Follow orders." This time it was Zhu Shuzong, the Privy Councilor of the Nan Yamen who answered.

His hair was also gray, and when he heard the news of Yang Liang's death, he recalled the happy days when he killed the enemy and drank together in Hedong, and sighed endlessly.

Yang Liang shouldn't regret it, right?Killing the enemy, or being killed by the enemy, is his long-cherished wish.

What a strange person!

After a hundred years of peace in the world, such strange people should not appear again.Lao Yang, let's go!
"Promote Li Lin, Marquis of Yu, the capital of the National Army, as the envoy of the Golden Sword Army."

"Shengyou National Army Du Youyi envoy Wang Jiao is the envoy of the Longxiang Army.".

Ge Cong, an envoy of the Longxiang Army, suffered a sudden illness at the beginning of Zhouzhou and was bedridden. Shao Shude sent a medical officer to diagnose and treat him, but the needle stone was ineffective, and he died soon.So He Gui, the deputy envoy of the German Army, was transferred to be the envoy of the Longxiang Army, but he also fell ill after arriving in the Western Regions.

"Li Siben, the Deputy Commander of the Liaodong Daodu Commandery, is the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Youguo Army."

"Zhou Jiying, the commander of the Yingzhou Army, is the Youyi envoy of the Youguo Army."

"General Shengtu's left wing envoy Wei Rang is the deputy envoy of the Tiande Army."

"Let's do this first." Shao Shude said with some disinterest.

Daxia and Persia are probably afraid of beating wolves with hemp sticks.

Daxia is afraid that he will not be able to rule such a large land, and the supply of the front line will be difficult.

What Persia is afraid of is that the Great Xia is strong. If they really follow the example of the Great Khan on the Grassland, they may not be able to withstand it.

The battle between the two sides in Pullhana is actually meaningless.

Shao Shude was purely out of greed for land.If he can keep it while he is here, it is not necessarily true for future generations.

The Persians guarded this place, and they were also very passive, because the Alai Valley was out of their hands, and the mountains to the north were full of hostile beliefs against them, such as Mani, Nestorianism, Turkic shamans, sheep mills, and Uyghurs. Tribes, with great geographical disadvantages, are also unable to defend.

Whoever occupies the place of pulling sweat will feel disgusting.

This is a muddled account, let's leave it at that.

In that piece, both sides were exhausted, and it was time to wrap up slowly.

From now on, Shao Shude's only concern is probably his eldest son who is far away in Yili.
