Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 187 The background of the Tang Dynasty is here, and the world has its own differences

"Follow me to kill! It's enough to kill a Tang man!"

"Whoosh!!"

An arrow pierced through the air and directly pierced through the throat, and the dark guard who was hiding in the former Tuyuhun headquarters and took advantage of the situation to make noise died suddenly on the spot.

His body was thrown backwards uncontrollably, directly knocking over a person behind him.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The people around were terrified, turned over and rolled to the side.

But the eagle in the mid-air positioned itself again, and Li Yan's eyes swept across like lightning, and he shot Sirius through the gap in the plank, and then killed a hidden guard.

"The clansmen inside listen carefully, you have been used by Tubo spies, and now there are all Tang's sharpshooters outside, put down your weapons and choose to surrender!"

"In the name of Tuyuhun Da Shanyu, this king will keep you alive!"

Li Yan beckoned, and the tool king Murong Nuohebo stepped forward, shouting at the top of his voice.

Immediately there was a greater commotion inside.

Not long after, a hoarse voice sounded: "Your Majesty, you are no longer the Great Chanyu, the people of Tang want to kill us, you can't stop it!"

Murong Nuohebo's face darkened, but Princess Honghua shouted, "Is it Xue Le?"

The hoarse voice became much more respectful: "Queen! It's me!"

Princess Honghua said: "Xue Le, you are my warrior of Tuyuhun, do you still believe me? I am the princess of Datang, I promise you that I will put down my weapons and never kill you!"

It fell silent inside.

Not long after, the door of the mansion opened.

An old man who was blind in one eye and had scars all over his face came out and faced Tang Jun's strong bow and crossbow.

He looked over with his single eye, and saw Murong Nuohebo and Princess Honghua being guarded by the Tang army side by side in the center, and the little prince was standing between them.

The old man immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty! Queen! We are guilty!"

Princess Honghua sternly said: "The ones who were killed just now are all Tubo spies. They occupy our land and kill our people. Now they are still instigating you to make trouble. Are you willing to be used by these thieves?"

The old man hissed and asked, "Where is the third prince?"

Princess Honghua took out the edict: "He will be fine. As long as you haven't committed any rebellion and endangered Liangzhou, the saint will let the past go. I won't use the edict to bully you!"

The old man fell silent.

Princess Honghua looked helplessly at Li Yan.

Li Yan nodded slightly.

Seeing the eldest prince and the second prince supporting Murong Zhi on the left and right, when they came out from behind, the old man shouted loudly in Xianbei, and a series of sounds of weapons falling came from the courtyard.

The morale of Tuyuhun's old troops collapsed, and they completely gave up resistance and chose to surrender.

Just at this time, Zhang Huanhe also came to report: "Liulang, Mrs. An discovered the secret passage, but after digging for a short time, it was blocked and no one was released."

Li Yan nodded: "Great job, the caravan arranged earlier also bought me time to check each one, I will give credit for you!"

Wei Daijie immediately ordered: "Confiscate the weapons, count the number of people, and sweep the holes in the courtyard like this, all of you have done a great job!"

But when he saw those weapons being confiscated and sorted out, the governor's pupils shrank slightly.

Li Yan had already seen clearly that such sophisticated standard weapons could not be provided by Tubo, let alone these subjugated people.

Like the dead men under Jia Sibo's command at that time, these weapons all came from the arsenal of Zhechong Mansion, but were obtained by the hidden guards.

Li Yan's gaze sank, and he waved his hand: "Bring that Tubo secret guard here!"

The tied-up Jiaoer was dragged over, looking at the scene in front of him, with anger and despair in his eyes, and he was silent.

Li Yandao: "Take off the cloth, let us men of the Tang Dynasty listen to the wailing of the bandits when they failed!"

Jiaoer really wanted to scream, but he suppressed it immediately.

He looked at Murong Nuohebo: "Your Majesty, I am also from Xianbei! I am also a citizen of Tuyuhun! If there is no other way, why would I join Tubo? Your Majesty, you have done so much for the people of Tang. When our Khanate was invaded by foreign enemies, what did the people of Tang do!"

Murong Nuohebo was a little at a loss, but Princess Honghua scolded: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Jiaoer thought he was going to die. Since he could speak, he would not hesitate: "You are the princess of the Tang people, so your heart is naturally for the mother country, but we only want our own khanate, so there is nothing to say!"

Wei Daijie's complexion changed slightly: "Shut his mouth!"

Li Yan said in a low voice: "Chairman Wei, please wait a moment. This group of Tuyuhun people are already under control. Let this person say, I want to use this to understand what the Tuyuhun people think of my Tang Dynasty."

Wei Daijie was somewhat disapproving, but he no longer obstructed him: "Deputy Envoy Li must be careful."

Li Yan looked at the former Tuyuhun troops who had surrendered, and saw deep resentment on their faces.

This is not surprising. From the perspective of later generations, the rise of Tubo has many aspects, but in fact the core point is that in the middle of the Gaozong Dynasty, he devoted himself to the elimination of Goguryeo and allowed Tubo to annex his own vassal state Tuyuhun, which eventually led to a major disaster.

There is no way, Goguryeo in the past hundred years is the hurdle that the emperors of the Central Plains can't get over, and they always want to destroy it.

I will not mention Yang Guang’s three campaigns. During Yang Jian’s period, the northern Turks could not take care of themselves, and they failed to destroy Goguryeo. Later, even Li Shimin’s personal conquest, the invincible Tian Khan, failed to destroy Goguryeo.

Finally died in the hands of Li Zhi, this reputation is too good.

So what is the price?

Except for Goguryeo, which was struggling endlessly with the Baekje regime in Silla, the behemoth Tubo rose.

The tragedy is that after the rise of Tubo, the Tang Dynasty suffered consecutive defeats, and Silla also changed from obedient to disobedient.

The Korean peninsula is still a scourge, and Goguryeo is equivalent to annihilation of loneliness.

Great failure of strategic purpose.

The reason why Li Zhi attaches so much importance to Tubo now is because he hopes to make up for his mistakes, and he really wants to leave a good name for future generations.

In fact, Li Zhi doesn't need to worry about this. His wife ascended the throne and became an empress, and no one cares about it in future generations.

And Princess Honghua also argued for her mother country: "Tubo is ambitious, and the time was chosen early. When they invaded, the Tang Dynasty's Guanzhong harvest was not good, natural disasters encountered, and there was war in the north, so it was impossible to take care of both! Tuyuhun is Is it wrong for other countries not to come to rescue our territory?"

Jiaoer sneered: "Yes, it's not wrong for the Tang people not to come to the rescue, but why did they encourage us to move to Qilian Mountains, but in the end they didn't fulfill their promise at all?"

Princess Honghua was speechless.

In the fifth year of Xianqing (660), when Tubo invaded Tuyuhun, Li Zhi initially ordered Tubo not to attack.

At that time, Lu Dongzan was still alive. Faced with Tang's request, he did not dare to resist on the surface. He was afraid that the Tang army would turn his guns and attack Tubo.

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Li Zhi promulgated an immigration policy, allowing Tuyuhun people who wanted to avoid the disaster of war to move to Qilian Mountains.

Many ministers in the court saw Tubo's disobedience and believed that this move would not succeed. They suggested that Tubo should be convinced first.

But Li Zhi did not adopt it, and the relocation policy did not withdraw.

And then something happened that Jiao Er lamented:
"My wife and children wanted to escape disaster, but they were guarded by the Tibetans at the Chiling pass. The Tang people did not send troops to meet them, and they were all trapped down the mountain in despair!"

"In those few years, Chiling Mountain was full of corpses of our clan, those who starved to death, those who died of freezing, were everywhere!"

"Where is Tang Ren! Where Tang Ren promised us to move to!"

Hearing Jiaoer's hoarse cry, everyone fell silent, and Li Yan also sighed inwardly.

Li Zhi made an immigration policy with a slap on his head, but he didn't pay for military operations. When Tubo blocked him, all the refugees flooded the border, causing countless casualties.

Those Tuyuhun people with their families and their hearts devoted to the Tang Dynasty failed to land on the land of the Tang Dynasty until their death, and were basically buried under the Chiling Mountains.

It was not until the second year of Zongzhang (669) that Tuyuhun was truly subjugated, and Li Zhi ordered the withdrawal of the immigration policy.

During this process, how much hatred was accumulated, so during the Battle of Dafeichuan, the Gar family was able to pull [-] Tuyuhun soldiers to participate in the battle, and there were also factors in this aspect.

Don't talk about that time, just look at the present, the old Tuyuhun who was present looked over with hateful eyes.

Many soldiers squeezed their weapons tightly, feeling extremely nervous.

Wei Daijie's face darkened, ready to kill at any time.

Li Yan thought for a while, then whispered to Murong Nuohebo: "Ask him, what rewards did the [-] Tuyuhun soldiers who won after the Battle of Dafeichuan get?"

Murong Nuohebo began to spread the word: "You keep saying that your heart is for Tubo, okay, then the king asks you, after the victory of Dafeichuan, what rewards did the victorious soldiers of our family get?"

This time it was Jiaoer who was speechless, and the hatred of Tuyuhun's old department was also transferred.

Princess Honghua said coldly: "Facing the enemies who invaded your country, you bent your knees and served them, but you resented the friendly countries that failed to help in time. Cowardly people, dare to confuse people here!"

Li Yan said in a low voice: "Don't get entangled in the past, tell them that Tubo is a small country on the plateau, and the tribes annexed by them will only become slaves and oppressed by Wuru. The Tuyuhun people are raising their heads again!"

As soon as the words came out, the eyes of the little prince lit up.

Princess Honghua immediately said: "The Tang Dynasty was unable to help in time in the past, allowing the bandits to sneak in, occupy our land, and enslave our people, but now there is no war around the Tang Dynasty, and we will concentrate our efforts to deal with Tubo!"

Murong Nuohebo also said loudly: "That's right, the sages of the Tang Dynasty named me the Lord of Qinghai, because they were determined to help me restore Tuyuhun, and the Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty will also go to the Western Regions! This Vice Envoy Li is the former The grandson of General Li, the successor of the general!"

The old Tuyuhun tribe became agitated, became awed and awed, and had expectations.

Li Yan didn't expect that Murong Nuohebo was so incompetent that he wanted to borrow his own fame, but he also calmly met everyone's awe-inspiring eyes.

The Tang Dynasty used to have no personnel affairs, but the heavenly kingdom had the confidence to tolerate all ethnic groups and protect the vassal state.

This is the foundation of a great country!

Tubo has no personnel affairs now, and with its family background, it will not be able to do any personnel affairs in the future. The limitation is there after all.

This is the difference in the world!
