Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 102
Shen Sanwen told the princess that Emperor Wu had high hopes for her, and the princess firmly believed it.

Maybe this is the tacit understanding.

It's just that Shen Sanwen didn't know how the two of them were similar.

However, since she learned about Emperor Wu's expectations, the princess spent significantly less time on her son and was more attentive to government affairs.

In [-] A.D., the world was in great order, and there was another period of peace and prosperity. The grain production in various places increased greatly, people had their land, and the new population also increased, and their lives were peaceful.

Emperor Wu proposed to enshrine Mount Tai, but the courtiers came out to persuade him.

"Feng Chan has always been to expand the frontier and expand the territory, and this is the only way to do this. I hope His Majesty will take it back."

If Emperor Wu succeeds in enshrining Zen, all courtiers will be speechless in the face of the ridicule of later generations.

Emperor Wu sneered.

Wu Chengsi took the opportunity to express, "Expanding the frontier is just a new land, which can accommodate more people to recuperate and live. Now the people of Wu Zhou are far richer than previous dynasties. There is no way to pick up relics, no beggars on the road, and everyone in the world laments that the world is good today. Can't seal Zen?"

Then the court turned into a verbal battle between a group of pedantic old officials and new officials who admired horses, and no one could persuade the other.

There were quite a lot of people who opposed it, so Emperor Wu planned to win a big battle and bring up the matter again.

Wu Zhou adopted a peaceful policy and tried his best to reconcile the conflicts with the border ethnic groups. The court did not take the lead in the war, and the soldiers were happy to cultivate themselves. There were few wars for several years.Datang has rarely lost any battles in history, and this matter is not difficult.

Especially the generals today have not changed much, while the generals of the original Tang Dynasty have always been experienced in many battles, gradually promoted, and they are really not afraid of anyone in battle.The only big defeat was that Xue Rengui, the god of war, fought against Tubo in Dafeichuan, where 30 Tang troops fought against [-] Tubo troops, and some forwards rushed forward despite military orders.

Since then, although Tubo was defeated eight times, seeing the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, it still couldn't help sending troops to harass and plunder, especially the commercial routes in the Western Regions and the grain production areas handed over from the west of Tubo to the Tang Dynasty.Now that there is more food in Wuzhou, and Emperor Wu intends to win another battle, the next battle may not be far away.

At this time, the famous generals Hei Chi Changzhi, Wang Fangyi, and Lou Shide were all guarding the border, and the foreigners were still somewhat in awe.Wang Fangyi taught people new ways of farming, Lou Shide reclaimed wasteland, and the black teeth were often located on the Turkic border, a vast desert, where they could only record local specialties in diaries, protect merchants, and depend on the people of Wu Zhou for their military salaries.

Emperor Wu ordered Lou Shide to fight against Tubo and made some achievements, which was a shame for Sichuan.

Lou Shide led an army of 20 soldiers to Shanzhou, and personally ordered Zhang Yang to go with the army as a vanguard.

At this time, Qinling, the son of Lu Dongzan, was in control of the Tubo government. Hearing that Wu Zhou sent troops to resume the frontier war, he immediately sent an envoy with two carts of valuable toys to Turkic, hoping that the Turkic Khan would send troops to fight against Qiang Zhou.

A week later, the Tubo envoys arrived in Turkic. The Turkic Khan immediately dispatched troops to Mobei, occupied the vast desert oasis in the northern part of the Yinshan Mountains, and encroached on the western part of the Helan Mountains and the northern border of Shanzhou. Separated from the Anxi Protectorate, thereby dividing up the rights and interests of the Western Regions.

Ganzhou is the link between the Anxi Protectorate and Datang Unicom, and there is no room for loss.

The court debated endlessly on this matter, and divided the war and the two factions.The Zhuhe faction headed by Di Renjie played the role. Many countries coexisted in the Anxi Dufu, and the ethnic groups were complex. The gains of the Tang Dynasty's garrison outweighed the losses, and there were frequent wars. It is better to give up this territory and make Tubo, Turkic, and the Western Regions fight.The main combat faction headed by Wu Sansi believes that Wu Zhou has operated the Western Regions for many years and must not give up lightly. If the road to the Western Regions is cut off by the Turks, it will inevitably make the Turks sit on the profits of Wu Zhou and the Western Regions, and gradually develop , Raising tigers is a problem.

There are also some other opinions. Lai Junchen thinks that these generals may not be loyal, and supports Di Renjie to advocate peace, so as to prevent the generals from supporting themselves and causing military disasters.

Shen Sanwen also raised his mind at this time, if Wang Fangyi and Hei Chi Changzhi were killed by Lai Junchen in the future, there would be a lack of generals in the frontier, it would definitely cause disaster.It's just how to make Emperor Wu believe in the loyalty of these courtiers and keep them.If Hei Chi Changzhi could make great achievements in his crusade against Xu Jingye, he would not have to worry about today.

Emperor Wu tried his best to reject all opinions and ordered Hei Chi Chang Zhi to rush to help Ganzhou to guard against the Turks and regain the territory. He also used the new general Wang Xiaojie, leading an army of [-], to go directly to the Anxi Governor's Mansion to prevent Tubo from aggression.

Lou Shide intends to cultivate and inspect the new army trained by Zhang Yang, so he mixes up with a vanguard officer.

Shanzhou is already located on a plateau of 4000 meters, the air is thin, and many people have difficulty breathing. Lou Shide also had to stop his troops for inspection, and carried out the first army reorganization, selecting soldiers who could better adapt to the plateau climate and forming a new formation. forward.What shocked him was that the three hundred armored soldiers led by Zhang Yang were completely able to adapt to the plateau climate.

The first battle plan discussion was held in the handsome tent.

Lou Shide first asked Zhang Yang, "Why can your three hundred soldiers adapt to the plateau climate?"

Zhang Yang: "The training methods are different. Wielding weapons is mainly to train strength and explosive power, not overall body coordination. My training includes letting them persist in long-distance running for a long time. Not only does their leg strength improve, but after long-distance running, it is difficult to breathe. When running, they can adjust themselves, and their ability to adapt to cardiopulmonary supply is enhanced. Now on the plateau, the air is thinner and the air inhaled becomes less, which is similar to the need for a large amount of air after long-distance running, and too little inhalation. So these soldiers can adapt.”

Lou Shide was thoughtful, "You solved a big problem by mistake."

Zhang Yang was not convinced, "General, this is by no means a mistake. Reasonable training methods can enhance the combat effectiveness of soldiers. Soldiers can be more flexible if they can cope with different environments. In traditional training methods, cavalry is cavalry. Infantry is infantry, and once they leave the combat environment and tools, they cannot adapt. If new training methods are adopted, soldiers will not rely on supplies and can adapt to the roles of multiple arms, and their combat power will definitely be doubled."

Lou Shide waved his hand, "Perform well in this battle. If you can make great contributions, this commander will show you the merits. If you become a general, your own soldiers, how do you train and how do you train? The ancestor's law cannot be broken, this commander The usual training method can better cooperate with the deployment, so there is no need to say more. The battle is about to start, and I will have seven hundred armored soldiers with you. You should train hard and don't let the commander down."

Once again, Zhang Yang failed to speak out, and he had already made up his mind to perform well.However, he was not a general appointed by the imperial court, but Lou Shuai's local requisition. Without the seal of the imperial court, he can only govern thousands of people. Lou Shide has done his best to create conditions for him. Zhang Yang is still grateful .

After Qinling defeated Xue Rengui in Dafeichuan, he no longer led troops to go out to promote new generals, but it was a pity that Tubo was defeated every year, which also caused him a lot of headaches.Now he wants to go to the front several times in person, but Tubo's domestic affairs are heavy, and the four major families are vying for power, so he dare not go out easily. If he wins, his prestige has reached its peak, and there is no way to advance. If he loses, he will inevitably be attacked by other families , if he loses power, it will greatly damage the rights and interests of the tribe.
