Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 128 Tang Dynasty Diplomat Wang Xuance
Chapter 165 Tang Dynasty Diplomat Wang Xuance
For Pei Xingjian, this is indeed a difficult choice.

It is well known that Qianzhou is a backcountry, but the position of deputy commander of the third rank...it is really fragrant!
"Your Highness, please allow me to think about it again!"

Pei Xingjian gritted his teeth. After all, he was still worried about Qianzhou.

This kind of regional discrimination is just like the self-confidence of the people of Tang Dynasty, and it is also deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

When Beijing officials go to the local level, they are basically promoted to three levels in a row.

As for why the Beijing officials are so critical, it is entirely because the Beijing officials have unique and convenient conditions. What government orders are issued by the central government, what are the intentions of the emperor Lao Tzu, and the Beijing officials at the feet of the emperor can always obtain first-hand information.

The most important thing is that it is easy for Beijing officials to meet the emperor, and if the officials of the frontier are not summoned by the emperor, they are not qualified to enter Chang'an.

If a Beijing official casually whispered something in the emperor's ear and said something unfavorable to the frontier officials, it would bring a lot of trouble to those frontier officials.

That's why a low-level official in Chang'an is not even regarded by the governor of a state.

Pei Xingjian was a low-level official in Chang'an, but he was still hesitant to go to Qianzhou to be the third-rank deputy commander.

"Okay, I will leave Chang'an in five days. You should think carefully about it during these five days."

Li Chengqian smiled slightly, but was not discouraged.

He also knew that there was a strange chain of contempt between local officials and Beijing officials. Pei Xingjian had always lived in Chang'an and was used to the prosperity of Chang'an. It would be difficult for him to go to a place like Qianzhou for a while.

"Here, Your Highness, the last general will retire first."

After Pei Xingjian made a respectful note to Li Chengqian, he withdrew from the Palace of King Qian.

"Your Highness, this Pei Xingjian is indeed a talent. No matter his skill or thinking, he is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

At this time, Xue Rengui whispered.

Li Chengqian patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Indeed, just look at him, he is not bad at all compared to you!"

Xue Rengui lowered his head and said nothing.

But he was a little unconvinced in his heart. Since ancient times, Wen Wu was the first and Wu Wu was the second. If Li Chengqian praised the other person for his good martial arts in front of him, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
Xue Rengui didn't say anything, but he was secretly fighting in his heart, thinking that one day he would have to compete with Pei Xingjian!

"Okay, you can take the soldiers to dinner first, and remember to restrain them better, and there must be no trouble." Li Chengqian ordered.

"Here!"

Xue Rengui cupped his hands and left.

After Li Chengqian was the only one left in the courtyard, Su Han came out stepping on the golden lotus, smiling like a flower, and said, "Sir, you are hungry too, I'll go see how the lunch preparations are going now!"

"Ok!"

Li Chengqian nodded, he was indeed a little hungry.

After a while, someone suddenly knocked on the door again. Li Chengqian frowned before getting up and opening the door.

A middle-aged man stood at the door, judging from the beard on his face, he should be around 40 years old.

"Who are you?" Li Chengqian asked doubtfully.

The middle-aged man respectfully said: "Return to Your Highness, the next official is Shi Wang Xuance, the governor of the right guard."

"Cough cough cough..."

Hearing this name, Li Chengqian choked on his own saliva and couldn't help coughing violently.

"Wang Xuance... Are you the Wang Xuance who destroyed a country?"

Li Chengqian was a little shocked. Chang'an was indeed a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. He had only been in Chang'an for a few days, and he met several big men who would become famous in the future.

Wang Xuance looked at him strangely, "Your Highness, this official is just a civil servant, how can he be able to destroy a country, Your Highness, you must have misremembered the person, right?"

Originally, he wanted to say that Your Highness, you have some brain problems, but then he thought about it, Li Chengqian is the prince, and he is just a mere sixth-rank right guard leading the governor, if he offends the prince, he might even die.

"Forehead…"

Li Chengqian looked at him, he couldn't say that I knew that in two years, you would go to Tianzhu as an envoy and destroy him, right?
In the 21st year of Zhenguan, that is, two years later, Li Shimin appointed Wang Xuance as the chief envoy and Jiang Shiren as the deputy envoy to Tianzhu.

Tianzhu is divided into five divisions, known as the Five Tianzhu, namely East, West, South, North and Central.

Of the five tribes of Tianzhu, Zhongtianzhu in the upper reaches of the Huan River is the most powerful. When Xuanzang traveled westward, the king of Zhongtianzhu was King Jieri. He is a famous figure in the history of Buddhism. The special courtesy of King Jie Ri.

When Wang Xuance went to Tianzhu as an envoy, King Jieri died. After King Jieri died, civil strife broke out in Zhongtianzhu, and King Jieri's subordinate Alonashun successfully usurped the throne in a coup.

However, this Aronasun has no foresight and is short-sighted.

After he usurped the throne, not only did he not treat the Tang mission headed by Wang Xuance with courtesy, but he also killed everyone in the mission except the principal and deputy envoys because he coveted the tributes from the countries in the Wang Xuance mission to Datang.

After Wang Xuance and Jiang Shiren were imprisoned for several days, they escaped while the soldiers were sleeping behind their hands.

At this time, if it is an ordinary person, it must go back to Datang and tell the heavens about this matter.

But Wang Xuance didn't. He went to the Tang Dynasty's vassal state of Nipaluo to borrow [-] cavalry, and found Li Shimin's son-in-law Tubo King Songtsan Gampo to borrow [-] elite soldiers.

He appointed himself as the general manager, and Jiang Shiren led the eight thousand soldiers to launch a war against Tianzhu as the vanguard.

The [-] Tubo cavalry led by Wang Xuance were all the best cavalry, and they wiped out more than [-] enemies in the first battle.

Alonashun quickly dispatched the most elite "Elephant Army" in Zhongtianzhu to fight.

The "Elephant Army" is a unique arm in South Asia. Soldiers sit on elephants to charge and shoot arrows, followed by infantry to charge, similar to today's infantry coordination.

The elephant is rampant, the enemy is difficult to parry, and it looks very powerful.

However, this kind of "armored warfare" also bullies and bullies the surrounding small countries that have never seen the world. Although Wang Xuance is a civil servant who has never fought in war, Datang has experienced various wars, and he has a slight understanding of the art of war Research, so how can you be afraid of a few elephants?
When fighting the elephant soldiers, Wang Xuance commanded his subordinates to use the "Fire Bull Formation" invented by General Qi Tian Dan, and dozens of cows rushed towards the "Elephant Army" with the flaming "Fire Bulls".

There is no animal that is not afraid of fire. Tens of thousands of "elephant troops" are in chaos, and countless soldiers are trampled to death by elephants.

Tens of thousands of elephant soldiers are already the elite force of the entire Zhongtianzhu. Now that the entire army is wiped out, Alonashun has no extra strength to fight against Wang Xuance. come out.

Afterwards, Wang Xuance commanded the army to use ladders and crossbow carts to continuously attack the city, which not only gained insight for these foreign soldiers under him, but also opened the eyes of the soldiers of Zhongtianzhu.

Where have they seen such a powerful weapon, in just three days, they broke through the city gate, and then killed more than [-] enemies, and tens of thousands of people were drowned at the same time!
The general situation was over, Alonashun knew that he was no match for Wang Xuance, so he abandoned the city and fled.

After Zhongtianzhu was destroyed, Alona fled to East Tianzhu with a small number of remnants, and brought reinforcements from Shijiumo, the king of East Tianzhu, in an attempt to counterattack.

Wang Xuance was furious, and sent his troops eastward, wiped out the remnants of Alonashun in one fell swoop, and captured Alonashun alive.

Because Dongtianzhu helped Alonashun, Wang Xuance prepared to take advantage of the victory to pursue and destroy Dongtianzhu in one go.

Shi Jiumo was frightened out of his wits, and hastily sent ten thousand horses and cattle, some gold and silver treasures, and apologized to Wang Xuance, who then gave up.

It was such an awesome war. If it was placed in other dynasties, it might be a miracle of opening up territories, but in the Tang Dynasty, it was just an ordinary achievement.

Afterwards, Li Shimin appointed Wang Xuance a fifth-rank loose official court councilor, and then left him aside.

It can be seen from this... Wang Xuance is easily dismissed?
