Crown Tang emperor

In the Red Mountain Palace in Luosuo City, the atmosphere has been quite tense recently.In addition to frequent personnel coming and going, Zanpu's mood is also changeable every day. Sometimes he laughs constantly, and sometimes he is furious.

Some people outside the palace may not know that Zanpu has been so volatile in recent days, but the slave servants in the palace are suffering because of it.It’s fine when Zanpu is in a good mood, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief, as long as they are at ease with their own affairs, they don’t have to worry about whether they will suffer unwarranted disasters.

But if Zanpu's mood turned bad, everyone should be careful, because Zanpu would explode into anger at any time.Wanton punishment, beating and killing slaves and maidservants is normal, especially when the news of the death of the envoy sent by the middle school to Datang in Chang'an came back to the middle school, Zanpu was even more furious, even a favorite concubine who was sleeping that day because of Offended Zanpu, Zanpu ordered them to strip off their clothes, drive them out of the palace, and freeze to death in the cold night.

Therefore, the most important thing for these palace servants and servants in Hongshan Palace is to observe today, or to guess whether Zanpu will be happy or angry at the next moment. If the guess is correct, this tormenting day may continue.But if unfortunately guess wrong, then life may come to an abrupt end in the next moment.

Because of Zanpu's changeable mood, the palace people were fearful and trembling, and Zanpu himself did not deliberately do this, and even his own mood ups and downs were more than that of the palace people.

Zanpu is now 28 years old. According to Tang people, he is about to reach his thirties. Such a grade can be called young and vigorous. steady.Especially for a king like Zanpu, it is the age when he is full of energy and is about to make great achievements.

Moreover, Zanpu is not a mediocre and incompetent person at all, it can be said that he was ordered in a time of crisis.Because of his father's premature death and the turbulent situation in the country, his heir was unable to formally succeed to the throne, and he was fostered in the hands of powerful officials for several years.

It can be said that since he was a child, Zanpu has already deeply understood the difficulties and dangers of the world. After succeeding to the throne, under the careful teaching of the Queen Mother, he has made great progress in both talent and temperament. The ministers all praised Zanpu's profound weaponry, perseverance, and great legacy of his great-grandfather Songtsan Gampo.

For this type of praise, Zanpu is still modest and polite on the surface, but in fact, he also has such expectations for himself in his heart. Taking his great-grandfather as an example, he is not reconciled to just being a conservative lord, and hopes that the fate of Tubo will be in his own hands. Under the leadership, we will create greater glories.

With the tenacious experience of a young man and the ambitious goal he set himself, Zanpu naturally has extremely high demands on himself. He has almost never experienced the willfulness of a young man, and everything he thinks about is related to the future of the country. For a long period of time, he has been an old man with no expression of emotions and anger, and rarely has his mood fluctuated and his emotions are exposed due to foreign affairs.

But no matter how tough a person's character is, there will always be a limit that has never been touched before.Once this limit is exceeded, people's temperament, words and deeds will become completely different.

The last time Zanpu's defense was broken was when Dalun Qinling colluded with the Chen family and suddenly returned to China. The series of events that followed undoubtedly challenged Zanpu's limits.Whether it's the betrayal of the royal family of the Chen family, Dalun Qinling's aggressive posture, or the Queen Mother wantonly interfering in state affairs without communicating with him, they are undoubtedly challenging his majesty as Zanpu.

Although Zanpu was also furious at the time, after realizing that the personnel and affairs involved in these accidents were still beyond his complete control, he quickly adjusted his mentality, suppressed all the hostility accumulated in his heart, and took the initiative to sue the Queen Mother for peace. .

Although in the end the results reached after all parties worked together and negotiated were far from his wishes, at least the stability of the overall situation was maintained.Next, under the guidance of the Queen Mother, Zanpu selectively received or visited the powerful households in the country. Efforts go in vain.

If the situation continues like this, even if Zanpu regrets that his ambitions cannot be fulfilled, he can still bear it. However, the shocking changes in the foreign neighbors have broken Zanpu's peace of mind.

Datang was originally the most powerful opponent in the known territory of Tubo, plus Zanpu took his great-grandfather Songtsan Gampo as his goal in life, and Datang also directly infiltrated the power into Tubo by taking advantage of the treason of the Chen family. Due to the country's worries, he has not been able to fight back for the time being, but he is also paying close attention to the various developments in the Tang Dynasty.

Especially after the Eastern Region is nominally owned by Datang, the dissemination of information about Datang is no longer limited to Qinghai. The powerful countries of the enemy have a deeper understanding.

In the past year, in the first few months, Zanpu read all kinds of information about Datang with a happy mood, such as Turkic invasion, Khitan rebellion and other news, so that Zanpu learned that it was not only them Tubo was deeply troubled by internal and external troubles. It turned out that the life of the Tang emperor was also not going well.

This kind of joy lasted until a rebellion broke out in Luoyang, the center of the ruling core of the Tang Dynasty, and even the king of Tang Guozong to whom Ye Ali was committed led his troops eastward to seize power, and Zanpu's gloating mood reached the extreme.

During that time, he frequently summoned powerful factions in the middle of the country, such as Fang Ruben and Dong Dai, and took the opportunity to hold a grand conference to promote his kingly prestige and unify the power of the middle of the country for the next Prepare for the development of the situation.

At that time, he even sorted out the most ideal context for the next situation in his heart.The power struggle in the Tang Dynasty was chaotic and the national strength was seriously depleted. Even if a result was barely won, it would not have enough power to deal with the military invasion from the north, and naturally it would have no power to take care of the eastern region.

This is a rare opportunity for Zanpu. First send troops to the Eastern Territory to regain the territory that originally belonged to Tubo, and then divide the personnel and materials that the Tang State invested in the Eastern Territory land to the middle class dignitaries. Majestic, and unified the situation in the country.

The next step is to force and urge Dalun Qinling to send troops to the mainland of Tang. If Dalun sends troops, Qinghai will be empty. If he does not send troops, there are enough reasons to crusade against Dalun Qinling.

At that time, while Zanpu was overjoyed, his grievances towards the Queen Mother also dissipated a lot, and he even became more admirable for the Queen Mother in his heart. Sure enough, the Queen Mother is very experienced. As long as you maintain the basic stability and wait patiently, the opportunity will come by itself !

Just when Zanpu was full of ambition and was about to take this opportunity to vent all his past patience, his emotions suddenly took a turn for the worse at the fullest moment.

The situation he imagined did not happen, but the worst situation happened to him. The internal strife in Tang was quickly pacified, and the winner was the Shaanxi Zongwang whom he least expected, in the process of fighting against the rebellion. There are frequent news of good news.

At this point, the good mood that Zanpu had maintained for several times suddenly disappeared.What made Zanpu even more troublesome was that although his series of pre-judgment operations did not wait for a suitable timing to start, it aroused the vigilance of Da Lun Qinling.

Qinling not only expelled some old Tuyuhun ministers in Qinghai area who were biased towards Tubo Zanpu, but even sent his younger brother Zanpo to lead an army over Jishi Mountain, arrived at the northern border of the Eastern Region and stationed there, although the explanation given to the middle school It was to guard against Datang's garrison in Longnan, but everyone knew that Qinling did this because he did not want Zanpu to send troops to the Eastern Region and directly threaten his retreat.

If Qinling's vigilant self-protection behavior is still in Zanpu's estimation, then the attitude of the dignitaries in the Eastern Region is unavoidably worrying.Zanpu was carefully selected, and Webster, who was going to target and even replace the Gar family, actually advised Zanpu to send envoys to congratulate and take the opportunity to repair it when the situation in the Tang Dynasty gradually became clear.

Zanpu was naturally deeply dissatisfied with this, but the result of the successive turmoil in the Tang Kingdom was not as expected, which had already made him happy for nothing, and he was unwilling to congratulate against his will from the bottom of his heart.But when the queen mother also held this view, Zanpu had to seriously consider this proposal and finally sent an envoy.

If the relevant matters only stopped here, Zanpu would not be so out of control. Although this time there was no joy, at least the situation in the middle school did not become worse because of it.He has been here for more than 20 years, just adjust his mentality and continue to wait.

But this time, Zanpu's mentality is really difficult to adjust and calm down, especially when he thinks that the young Zongwang of the Tang Kingdom is much younger than himself, and he has forged ahead all the way in just a few years and has become the whole world. The supreme lord of the country, Zanpu, was so jealous that it was almost unbearable.

People can keep fighting without losing hope in the face of adversity because they firmly believe that their efforts and persistence are valuable. No matter how hard they are at the moment, they will eventually taste the sweet fruits.

But now, Zanpu himself has not figured out which branch the fruit of victory grows on, but someone younger and better than him has tasted the fruit of victory first.This inevitably made his mentality collapse, and even doubted the value of his tenacity and whether he could achieve the result he wanted?

"Bearing humiliation for more than 20 years, the name is the master, but he is actually a puppet! The big traitors in the country are hard to get rid of, and new disasters are born again. What kind of heart are those who persuade me to endure? The queen mother misled me, and the ministers misunderstood me! I am willing to go to war with Gabe, but I am worried that my wealth will not last long, how many people really care about the fate of the country!"

Thinking of this verse, Zanpu became even more furious, feeling that he had been deceived and bullied: "Power is never easy to come by. How can those who dissuade me be willing to support a powerful lord who can control their life and death! It's ridiculous that I was After being deceived for more than 20 years, the young master of the enemy country taught me how to be a king! If I could have such a clear understanding, the fate of the country would not be ill for a long time!"

Chapter 0823 mother and child gap, the young master is tough

"Zamp still won't come to see me?"

In Nalakang, the Queen Mother's bedroom located in the northeast of Luosuo City, when Queen Mother Meilu asked this question and saw the waiter's face was embarrassed, she couldn't help but snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: " The envoys are fighting to the death, now that the Tang envoys are far away, Zanpu still wants to entertain the Tang envoys by acting out a mother-child estrangement?"

When the waiters around heard this, they couldn't help being even more silent, and the Queen Mother continued to say angrily: "Go and tell Zanpu, if he really doesn't want to see his mother again, I will return to the Tibetan-Ru tribe to live in seclusion. Brothers can't tolerate me, Nivalo still has a son of mine, he can vote for it, anyway, he won't stay in Yuna and hate Zampo!"

Hearing this, everyone present was startled again, and Shang Meimei, the brother of the Queen Mother, couldn't help but shouted dissuadingly: "Zanpu is already in his prime, not young, so it's really inappropriate to offend him like this!"

After hearing the words, the queen mother sneered and said: "Although he was not conceived in my belly, he grew up in my arms. What kind of schemes can he hide from me? It's nothing more than envying the Lord Tang. I can easily set my skills and complain that others refuse to listen to his orders. He is not alone in the blood of the Sitano family. This statement is just to teach him not to be self-willed. Since he can't leave me, then stop making troubles and neglecting me Those who are still willing to treat him sincerely.”

Outsiders may not be able to find out Zanpu's performance in the Red Mountain Palace in the past few days, but they can't hide it from the Queen Mother.In addition to all kinds of gaffes, Zanpu frequently summoned the kings and generals, which made the Queen Mother smell a little dangerous.

The Gar family has been in power for many years, and Lu Dongzan and his son are both experts in political reform. Under the deliberate operation of the father and son Jili, the personnel power directly under Zanpu in the middle school has been reduced to a small size, and many important military and political affairs have to be placed on the government. Discussion at the Council of Nobles.

Zanpu's frequent interviews with the generals of Wang Wei are obviously not aimed at the Gar family who needs to be conquered by strong troops. At present, the one who can directly hinder Zanpu's royal power in the country is undoubtedly the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother had previously disagreed with Zanpu on many issues. If Zanpu already had some strong intentions to be realized, then only by controlling the Queen Mother can he ensure that his intentions are implemented.

Leaving aside what Zanpu wanted to do, the Queen Mother certainly didn't want her life to be controlled by this adopted son she raised up with her own hands. After several attempts to communicate to no avail, she simply brought up this topic directly and asked Zanpu to weigh whether it was worthwhile. Unprepared for the associated variables.

At the request of the Queen Mother, the envoy quickly went to the Hongshan Palace.After a little while, the waiter came to report that Zanpu had arrived in Yunalakang, but he did not visit inside, but invited the Queen Mother to meet him in the outer palace.

Hearing that Zanpu had arrived, the Queen Mother also breathed a sigh of relief, her mood was far from being as calm as she appeared.As Zanpu got older, he showed an uncontrollable side. Before that, because of the threat of the Gar family, the differences of opinion between mother and son could be covered up, but not fully exposed.

But right now, although the threat of the Gar family still exists, the advanced experience from the opposite country of Tang is constantly being introduced into the country.In the past period of time, the queen mother clearly felt that Zanpu's concern about the political changes in the Tang Dynasty had already surpassed his understanding of the enemy's political situation at the strategic level, and it was more like trying to figure out some deeper logic.

In short, it was the rise of the king of the Tang Dynasty that allowed Zanpu to see another route to power. He did not need to rely on the help and support of the old woman of the clan to achieve brilliant success.

So as to whether Zanpu would still bow his head under her awe, the Queen Mother really had no idea.Fortunately, the accumulation of prestige in the past 20 years is still effective. After she took the initiative to make her point clear, Zanpu did not continue to go her own way.

Although Zanpu came to Yunalakang, his attitude was no longer as respectful as before. Even when he saw the Queen Mother entering the hall, he was still sitting surrounded by a group of guards, and did not stand up to greet him, and even frowned. He snorted coldly and said, "What does the Queen Mother mean by sending someone a message? If your son has made a mistake in serving you, you can speak up. The weather in Nibala is hot and humid, the miasma is pervasive, and there is no grand palace arrangement. I am worried that the Queen Mother will go there or be punished." Without the hot miasma there, it cannot last for a long time, if this is the case, there is no need to talk about it in the future!"

The queen mother was not angry when she heard this unkind words, she just let out a long sigh, looked at Zanpu affectionately and said: "What kind of hatred is it that prevents our mother and son from talking peacefully? Words turned into swords , You don't need to see blood when you hurt someone..."

After Zanpu heard the Queen Mother's answer, there was a hint of consternation on his face. He came to Yunalakang this time in a fit of anger. The proposed opening speech is also quite mean and vicious.

But he didn't expect that the Queen Mother, who was always strong in front of him, would respond so weakly and even a little humble.But in addition to being stunned, Zanpu soon felt a little joy in his heart. It seemed that in front of him who was getting stronger day by day, it would be difficult for the Queen Mother to maintain her previous strength for a long time.

"I don't dare to disobey the Queen Mother, but sometimes, the Queen Mother is obsessed with old ways and refuses to listen to my opinions seriously! Today, although I haven't made outstanding achievements to shock the world, I still have a strong heart and confidence. I will not easily let the hegemony of the Sitano family fall into my hands. The horse will be just a piece of meat in the stable until it dies. The queen mother is the good mother of the country, and of course she understands this truth!"

Soon Zanpu came to his senses, and continued to speak. He had hidden his heart in his arms for a long time, and now he finally found a suitable opportunity to confide in it. After speaking, he immediately felt refreshed.

After hearing the words, the queen mother sighed again: "On the day the king passed away, I was so heartbroken that I hoped that Zanpu would be able to stand on his own as soon as possible. Of course I am happy with such determination. I know that Zanpu blamed me. I refused to go along with you earlier, and I did not send envoys to Tang..."

"Not only that! When I knew that Jiabu Xiaoer also sent envoys to the Tang Kingdom, and planned to sever diplomatic ties, the Queen Mother still blocked me! What about now? If I could do what I wanted then, why would I expose the country's ugliness?"

When Zan Pu said this, the dissatisfaction on his face became stronger again.

Although he is full of envy and jealousy for the powerful rise of the king of the Tang Dynasty, and after carefully understanding the process of his rise, he is even more admirable, but because of this, he even regards this king of the Tang Dynasty, whom he has never met, as his lifelong enemy, and is quite jealous. He cared about what the king of the Tang Dynasty thought of him, so he was very concerned about the rather weak attitude of the middle school in negotiating with the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing that Zanpu's tone and attitude were getting stronger, the queen mother sighed again and she was not just pretending, she changed the subject again and said: "It's useless to talk about old things. Now that the envoys of the Tang Kingdom have arrived in the Eastern Region, what will Zanpu plan to do?" Reception?"

After Zanpu heard the words, he waved his hands and said: "I will arrange this matter myself, and the Queen Mother does not need to worry about it. The responsibility for our envoys' suffering in his country lies with the treachery of Qinling. , but as long as I am willing to admit my mistakes sincerely, I will not vent my anger outrageously.

But the Eastern Region is the arm of our country. Earlier, because of the chaos caused by the Chen family, it had to be temporarily given to the Tang Kingdom. The Tang Kingdom is now also ruled by the British Lord. If you want to repair it with me, the ownership of the Eastern Region cannot be vague!Didn't the Queen Mother also want to propose to Tang Guo for me?This time, let Tang Guo send the marriage and accompany Dongyu back. "

"Zanpu intends to go to war with Tang?"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help being angry and funny for a while.

After Zanpu heard this, he sneered, pointed at the Queen Mother and shook his head, and said, "The Queen Mother is indeed skilled in healing, but she still doesn't know enough about the real heroes in the world. Before that, you forced Chen's Ali to the Tang Lord. , What is the result? If I don't make a strong gesture, Lord Tang will only bully me even more weakly.

Not long after he ascended the throne, Ding Luan was already exhausted from defending against the enemy, and he was unable to argue with me.Its envoys speak viciously and wildly in the Eastern Territory, but they are just trying to scare me.He has the guts to dare to do this, am I still timid to respond?Who does the Eastern Territory belong to is only second, I just told him that he is not afraid to fight with it! "

"Zanpu, you are indeed brave and shrewd, but the people in the Eastern Region and the people in the country, do they also have such a clear sense? Even if the Tang Dynasty has no power to fight again, don't we have it in our country? Zanpu, you are eager to ask Tang Huangqiang Confessionally speaking, but the people in the country are still the ones who will truly defend the country with you! If they are exhausted and war-weary, has Zanpu thought about how to appease the public?"

When the Queen Mother heard Zanpu's confident words, she couldn't help but speak again.

"Hmph, why should the Siddano family have so many worries about starting a business? If the queen mother still keeps these old words, there is no need to talk about them. I was troubled by these kinds of worries in the past, and I have wasted a lot of time. Nearly [-] years old, I have achieved nothing, and now I am overtaken by the backward people of the Tang Dynasty. If people obey me, they will prosper, and if they disobey me, they will hate the bandits. I will never be as self-confident as in previous years!"

"However, the situation in the Tang Dynasty is different from that of our country, so the grandeur is able to dominate, and it has a group of confidantes to help. But Zanpu your confidants..."

"My confidant? Won't the Queen Mother try her best to help me?"

Speaking of this, Zanpu stood up from the table, looked at the Queen Mother and said in a concentrated voice, and his expression became subtle.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother leaned back slightly, and after a moment of silence, she spoke slowly: "Meimei's old illness has relapsed, and it is difficult to take on the heavy responsibility of Wei Ru. Please envoy Zanpu take over."

After hearing this, Zanpu burst out laughing, bowed to the queen mother, and then left Yuna Lakang. On the way, he told his relatives: "As soon as possible, arrange someone to recreate the yellow book of Wang Wei outside the red book. Even if you get rid of Qinling, you will only work hard for a few families in the country. In addition, tell the Tang envoys that they don't have to bribe those people anymore. I am the king of Tubo. What is the direction of the two countries? For me, it’s better to send all their bribes to me!”

Not to mention that Zanpu was complacent because he first tasted the victory in the confrontation with the Queen Mother. In Yu Nala Kangzhong, after Zanpu left, the Queen Mother retreated to the depths of the palace and secretly summoned a few people. He ordered in a loud voice: "Strictly investigate the movement of personnel in the Hongshan Palace. Starting today, except for a few women from the close family, no one else will be able to give birth to Zanpu's flesh and blood!"

Chapter 0824 Zuo Rong was arrested, the Bohai Sea is hard to break

At the end of February, part of the Northeast Army to stabilize the chaos had returned to Guanzhong, and other troops were also withdrawing one after another. It is estimated that by the beginning of May, most of the troops will be able to return to Guanzhong.

Of course, this does not mean that the imperial court has completely given up military control over the Northeast. Starting from going to Hebei to face the Khitan, the imperial court has successively sent nearly 10 troops to the north.

This time, 8 troops will be withdrawn, and there will still be nearly 2 troops directly under the imperial court in the Northeast, which will continue to maintain the conquest of the Khitan Dahe clan and the reconstruction of the Yingzhou and Andong Protectorate.

In fact, after Yingzhou defeated the main force of the Khitan rebels, the intensity of the subsequent war dropped sharply. The only thing that can be praised is the recovery of Youzhou and Yingzhou.In these two battles, the main force participating in the battle was mainly the troops under Zhang Renyuan's command and reinforcements from Hequ.

Although the main force of the Liaodong army led by Hei Chi Chang Zhi also entered the Northeast battlefield, the main task was still to deter.

Hu tribes live together in the Northeast. Before the new prison order is formally established, these Hu tribes may become part of the rebellion. In order to ensure that the situation will not deteriorate further, the imperial court must of course maintain sufficient troops to deter them.

Of course, it is not completely without gains on the frontal battlefield.The attack on the Khitan Dahe clan was very effective. The imperial army killed and captured more than [-] members of the Dahe clan, which did not include the record on the Yingzhou battlefield.

Khitan, as a giant in the East Hu, lived under the wings of the Tang Dynasty for many years, and especially participated actively in the battle to conquer Goguryeo, so he shared a lot of dividends from the destruction of the country.

According to the information obtained by the Anton Governor's Mansion in the early years, the eight tribes of Khitan should already have a population of more than [-] accounts, and the Dahe clan, as the leader of the tribal alliance, and the powerful national power of the Tang Dynasty endorsed it, the actual possession of The number of people in the Ministry should have exceeded [-] accounts.

It is precisely because of such a strong population base that Li Jinzhong dared to brazenly raise troops against the Tang Dynasty.But even though the Dahe clan had a large population, they couldn't stand the continuous pursuit.In particular, Li Jinzhong's biggest mistake was not withdrawing to the west of Liaoxi before the main force of the Tang Dynasty arrived on the Hebei battlefield, causing more than half of his forces to be lost on the Hebei battlefield.

It is never just a simple comparison of military strength that determines the outcome of a war. The place where the war takes place is more important than the number of troops.In the original history, after conquering Yingzhou, Li Jinzhong was not in a hurry to enter the Hebei area, but stayed in the western Liaoning area to wait for work, and took advantage of the favorable terrain to defeat Datang's anti-insurgency troops at the door of his house, and only then won the Khitan. Continue to toss Capital.

But in this time and space, the Khitans were the first to cause chaos in Youzhou, and they have already deeply understood the weakness of the Tang Dynasty in Hebei. In addition, there was a coup d'état in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, so the Khitans' actions should be more radical and misjudged. The time when the Tang army entered the battlefield, so that the main force was almost wiped out in the first battle in Yingzhou.

Even so, when the war extended to western Liaoning, the long supply line and the complicated geographical situation in western Liaoning also restricted the continued performance of the Tang army.The battlefield in western Liaoning lasted even longer than Hebei, and more troops were invested, but the results were not as brilliant as Hebei. This is the constraint brought about by the war environment.

But even so, the Khitan Dahe clan lost nearly 5 troops on the battlefield, which means that the Dahe clan, as a tribal force, already exists in name only.

Even without Tang Jun's continued pursuit, the wolf-like neighbors around would not give up such an opportunity to share their remains. Even the other tribes of Khitan have begun to respond to Tang's call and began to invade frequently. Dahe clan's Songmo state territory.

The only thing that makes people a little uncomfortable is that Sun Wanrong, another leader of the Dahe clan, fled to the west of Liaoning after the defeat in Youzhou. He is still in the wild and has not been caught for a long time.

Of course, Li Tong also understands that the frontline soldiers can't be blamed for not working hard enough in this matter. The main reason is that the imperial court's punishment for the Dahe family is too severe this time, which is tantamount to issuing an order to exterminate the family.

Originally in history, Sun Wanrong was destitute and sacrificed to the Tang Dynasty after being beheaded by his slaves, but now the imperial court has no plans to continue to take the Dahe clan into captivity, so naturally these remnants of the Dahe clan have to fight to the end , On the contrary, there is no case of treason by the masses.

The mountains in the western part of Liaoning are densely covered. If Sun Wanrong wanted to flee and not engage in a direct confrontation with Datang, it would not be easy to accurately target and kill him.

Although the main force of the Tang army is gradually withdrawing to the inland, Li Tong does not intend to let Sun Wanrong go, and personally submits a book declaring that all the people in the Northeast, who are not members of the Dahe clan and can present Sun Wanrong's head, will be directly awarded the title of the Duke of the State. Jazz!

A mere defeated general is naturally not worth such a high price.But Li Tong wanted to use this to announce to the people in the Northeast that those who dare to make trouble and rebels must be prepared to die and have nowhere to escape!

The situation in the Northeast has collapsed, and it is not possible to rely solely on military means to re-establish order.In particular, the Tang Dynasty is a huge country, the war in the northeast is not over, and there are accidents in the west.Therefore, in addition to tough military strikes, a certain amount of favor is also an indispensable means.

But Li Tong didn't intend to invest more human resources in the Northeast, so the fat meat of the Dahe family was a bargaining chip he used to restrain and divide the Northeast Zhuhu.A tribe with more than [-] households, and a large tribe with at least [-] tribesmen, even if they just sip soup, their mouths are full of oil.

As for the fact that the imperial court's methods of exterminating the Dahe family were too bloody and cruel, you Hu tribes don't plan to rebel, so what are you worrying about?

Of course, in the process of chasing and suppressing the Dahe clan, other tribes of Khitan will inevitably suffer from Chiyu.After all, the customs and costumes are too similar for people to distinguish, and many people who took the opportunity to carve up the Khitan power are unwilling to distinguish too clearly.

In this regard, Li Tong also told the frontline generals not to pursue it too carefully, and even hinted to encourage them, whoever asked you to shave your hair, the wrong hairstyle is the original sin.

After all, the Khitan will become a major problem in the Northeast in the future, and even once entered the Central Plains. It has nothing to do with the Dahe clan today. The Ren clan was picked by the same weak Yelu clan of Diela, and Khitan was leading the most glorious moment under the leadership of Yelu clan.

Of course, the ups and downs of the Khitan for hundreds of years reflect the fundamental logic of the Central Plains Dynasty’s inability to control the Northeast region. In addition to the name of the people, these Donghu tribes can only be allowed to thrive and perish brilliantly on this land.

Li Tong may not be able to influence the too distant future, but in the current time and space of the Tang Dynasty under his control, he still hopes to establish a more effective rule in the Northeast.The reason why the attack on the Khitan was only concentrated on the Dahe clan was because other tribes would usurp the resources belonging to the Khitan and rise to become a new disaster.

At the moment, conniving the other Donghu tribes to attack the Khitan as a whole will also lay an introduction to the continued clean-up of the situation in the Northeast.

When the national strength of the Tang Dynasty returns to its peak, it can intervene more forcefully in the Northeast, and then it can turn around and uphold justice for the Khitan people. I just wanted to teach the Dahe family a lesson, who made you implicate the innocent and make me bear the burden of tyranny? famous?Khitan people, don't be afraid, Dad will help you settle all the blood debts!

In addition to the Khitan issue, another serious issue in Northeast China is the escape of the Mohe people.The Mohe people are now entrenched in Liaodong. Because the distance is too far, they have higher requirements for logistics and supplies. The Tang army has not officially entered Liaodong to carry out military strikes, so for now it is still mainly about appeasement and deterrence.

In fact, Datang also had a relatively important bargaining chip against Mohe. After recovering Yingzhou, when Zhang Renyuan's troops continued to pursue and suppress in the Zhou border area, they accidentally captured Da Zuorong, the founding lord of the Bohai Kingdom.

Although Da Zuorong does not have the prestige of the Lord of Haidong Shengguo at the moment, he thinks that the son of Mohehao Chieftain Qiqi Zhongxiang, Zhang Renyuan naturally knows the importance of this person, so he immediately wrote to the court as soon as he was arrested. , and proposed to use Da Zuorong as a bargaining chip to conduct contact negotiations with the Mohe people in Liaodong.

Li Tong naturally agreed with this, and sent a letter to Zhang Renyuan that no matter what the outcome of the negotiation, Da Zuorong must not be let go, and must be controlled by Tang Jun.

Although it is said that the vast majority of historical figures achieved success only through special opportunities, Da Zuorong also played a key role in Mohe, as a regionally not too powerful force, who was able to flee east to create a country.

For example, in the Battle of Tianmenling, known as the Battle of the Founding of the Bohai Kingdom, it was under the guidance of Da Zuorong that he defeated Li Kaigu, the second and fifth son of the Khitan, so that the Mohe people and the survivors of Goguryeo were able to successfully cross to the east and finally create the Bohai Kingdom.

Without the outstanding leader Da Zuorong, Mohe's future is still full of variables.For such an unexpected harvest, Li Tong certainly would not allow the tiger to go back to the mountain.

But unfortunately, not long after Da Zuorong was arrested, another accident occurred in the Mohe tribe in Liaodong.
