Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 413

In the first battle of Suiyang, the second town of Linhuai in Bianzhou assisted Suiyang and wiped out the 20 puppet Yan army under Yin Ziqi.

In this battle, 1 puppet Yan soldiers surrendered, and only [-] escaped to Hedong by chance.

This battle can be said to be a brilliant victory, Datang's side did not have more than a hundred casualties, but they wiped out the enemy forces that had besieged Suiyang for ten months in one fell swoop.

Countless puppet Yan soldiers died in the flames of war, and even the Bian River was blocked for a while.

Zhang Xun immediately organized soldiers to salvage the corpses and cremated them together.

At the same time, Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan jointly wrote a memorial to report the victory to the court!
At the end of the war, Xu Shuji, who was forced to come to Suiyang, really fell ill. He wrote a memorial to beg for bones on his bed, and sent it to the capital together with Zhang Xun's memorial to the victory.

Finally, there is the issue of He Lan Jinming. Zhang Xun finally decided to claim in the memorial that He Lan Jinming died in battle while attacking the puppet Yan.

The results of the Battle of Suiyang spread to Luoyang, and the puppet Yan court became even more terrified.

As a result, in the early court today, the number of officials who went to court in the pseudo-Yan was reduced by half.

Luoyang stayed behind in Yanzhuang, but he didn't have much panic. He was ready to surrender to Datang.

Although the puppet Yan army in Henan collapsed, the Tang army in Henan was exhausted and it was impossible to attack Luoyang all at once.

What decides the fate of the world now is the battle between the puppet Yan army led by Cui Youqian in the Shanxia Gorge and the counter-insurgency army led by Guo Ziyi.

If Guo Ziyi wins this battle, the last army of Puppet Yan in Guanzhong will be completely scrapped.

Then Datang took advantage of the trend to sweep through the entire Guanzhong and regain the eastern capital Luoyang.

Then you can join forces with the Henan Tang army in Suiyang's great victory, so that Datang will completely reverse its strategic passivity.

Afterwards, Datang can return the capital to Chang'an, and can attack Hedong at any time to seize the initiative on the battlefield.

If Cui Yougan wins, he can reoccupy Chang'an and control the Guanzhong area again.

Now that the Bianhe water transport is on the verge of severance due to the war, the puppet Yan army in Guanzhong will join forces with the puppet Yan army in Hedong to capture Henan again.

In that case, Datang will be completely cut off from the economic lifeline, and the war will fall to the side of the puppet Yan again.

The battle between Datang and Puppet Yan in Guanzhong and Henan is like robbery on Go.

Subtle changes in the battle situation on both sides will affect the outcome of the war in the two regions.

And the side that seems to have the advantage will fall into the disadvantaged side as long as it loses.

Cui Youqian must know that he has a great mission, but many of the troops in his hands are defeated in the battle of Xiangji Temple. Cui Youqian is still rectifying soldiers and training soldiers, sticking to the city gate and not fighting, and confronting Guo Ziyi's army far away.

And Guo Ziyi's side is also fighting steadily, strictly ordering the soldiers not to attack casually, and sending small groups of troops to test Cui Youqian every day.

The main generals of both sides are prudently accumulating strength and testing the opponent's combat style.

This weird sense of suffocation made Henan's great victory seem less exciting.

All the officials and ministers in Fengxiang Mansion stared at Shanxia, ​​and even Qiu Wei was postponed because of the war.

In the words of Shangbo, if Guo Ziyi is defeated, the Tang court might flee back to Lingwu, and holding the imperial examination would be meaningless.

Only after the results of the Battle of Shanxia came out, the imperial court was in the mood to hold the imperial examination.

When all the eyes of the world were on Guanzhong, Jianning Wang Li Yan was very relaxed.

Li Yan had already seen Zhang Wu's role in the Battle of Henan through the system.

For the player's ability, Li Yan was also very surprised. He didn't expect Zhang Wu to be able to play such a big role.

Li Yan is more aware of the power of the players. These players are immortal traversers, and they can always do unimaginable tasks for Li Yan.

After issuing mission rewards to Zhang Wu.

Li Yan looked at the entire territory of Longyou.

First of all, the Tuqishi people belonged to Datang and became the dog of Datang. Oh no, after the vassal state, Tuqishi and the Ge Luolu people also called Datang's father together.

Since they are all Datang's father's children, it is not easy to continue the previous work of catching Tuqishi people as slaves and selling them for money.

Zhou Jiashi, an outstanding poverty alleviation cadre in Datang, has arrived at the territory of Tuqishi people, and the Tuqishi Affairs Department has set up a shelf.

During this period, the Ge Luolu people attacked several tribes of the Tuqishi people, and the Zhou family immediately sent words and fierce writing to Timur of the Ge Luolu Affairs Department.

Finally, Timur found King Jinshan, the leader of the Geluolu people, and expressed Datang's solemn attitude. King Jinshan then ordered the release of the captured Tuqi as slaves.

The relationship between the Tuqishi and the Geluolu people needs to be reconciled, and the Geluolu people need more miners in their mines.

Many merchants from the Western Regions sensed the business opportunities, and a large number of slaves from the Western Regions were sold to Ge Luolu.

These Western Region merchants are also very mobile. Now that a slave can be sold for a good price in Ge Luolu, they exchange the spices for slaves. For these merchants, slaves can still walk on their own, which is more cost-effective than spices. business.

Among them, the businessmen of Dashi are the fastest to grasp the changes in the market trend.

The powerful dynasty that now traverses the entire Central Asia is called the Abbasid dynasty.

Because the soldiers of the Abbasid Dynasty wore black robes, Datang called them "Black Clothes Dashi".

During the heyday of the Abbasid dynasty, it owned the entire Central Asian region, competed with the Eastern Roman Empire, and set foot on the African continent to conquer a series of small North African countries such as Egypt.

In the Battle of Hengluo, Heiyi Dashi defeated the Tang army and extended his tentacles into the Western Regions, causing chaos in the originally stable Western Regions.

However, after the second monarch, Mansur the Great, succeeded to the throne, the Abbasid dynasty changed its strategy of advancing eastward, and even retreated the eastern defense line after the Battle of Hengros.

This monarch is a well-known sage of the Abbasid dynasty, and he focused his energy on the expansion of the empire to the west.

This is quite a wise move, knowing that the Battle of Hengros itself is an encounter.

Datang was caught off guard by the black-clothed Dashi army, and the number of Tang troops on the battlefield was far less than that of the black-clothed Dashi.

Moreover, the Tang army was fighting outside its own territory and sphere of influence, and the black-clothed Dashi was lucky to win, but also paid huge casualties.

After spreading his influence deep into the Western Regions, Emperor Mansur learned that in the monster room in East Asia, besides the terrifying Tang Dynasty, there was also a Tubo who could also beat small countries in the Western Regions.

The wise emperor decisively chose to go to the west to pick up soft persimmons.

The soft persimmons around the Abbasid dynasty are naturally a group of small tribes and small kingdoms in Central Asia.

These small countries have the same origin as the Abbasid Dynasty, but these small countries have different beliefs and accuse each other of heresy.

These small countries fought independently, and under the army of Mansur the Great, these small countries were conquered one after another.

While conquering the West, the Great Mansur was strengthening trade with Tang Dynasty.

You must know that Central Asia is full of large and small deserts. These tribal chiefs are real chiefs, not those local tyrants of later generations.

And trade has become the best choice on this land.

Nowadays, the merchants in black clothes and big food are the most famous businessmen in the entire civilized world. During the emperor's time, there was a workshop dedicated to the big food merchants in Chang'an City.

The Dashi merchants are very keen. After they discovered Ge Luolu's demand for slaves, the Dashi merchant's powerful trading machine began to operate.

For the big cannibals, they seem to have discovered an excellent business model.

The enemies of the Abbasid Dynasty were all turned into slaves and sent to the mines of Ge Luolu.

Neither the rebellious Persian maharajas.

Or the Tungus and Slavs who invaded the northern border.

Or the chieftain of the southern Tianzhu who doesn't grow spices well.

And the Byzantines who were at war with the Abbasids.

The Egyptians and North African natives who resisted the Abbasid dynasty's attack.

Even heretical sects within the Abbasid dynasty.

These were all reduced to slaves and sent to Ge Luolu's Jinshan.

What is even more ironic is that the Tuqi Shiren, who were originally victims, have also joined this trade chain.

They turned from victims to perpetrators, and the Tuqishi people began to attack the small countries in the Western Regions continuously, capturing the people of these small countries as slaves and selling them to their old rivals, the Ge Luolu people.

On the side of the Western Regions, Guo Xin, the governor of the Western Regions, still has an ambiguous attitude.

Guo Xin kept a certain distance from Li Tan, his childhood playmate, and the Protectorate of the Western Regions was still operating semi-independently.

However, Li Yan was not in a hurry to annex the Western Regions, because once the Western Regions were annexed, they would have to border on Tubo and Heiyi Dashi, which would increase the pressure on the Western Front.

Now is the period when the big roundabout tactics are being implemented, and Li Yan has no extra strength to develop the Western Regions.

The Uighurs in the north are now Longyou's loyal running dogs. Through trade, Longyou has firmly controlled the Uighur tribes.

Uighur took the initiative to propose marriage to Datang, and now Li Yan's "cousin" Li Guangqin has entered Hexi.

The married princess will meet Li Yan in Shazhou, and then go north to Uighur to get married.

Tubo Zanpu in the south did not say anything about the loss of Tuyuhun, but I heard that Tubo is uniting with Nanzhao and preparing to attack the Xichuan area of ​​the Tang Dynasty.

The roundabout strategy that most concerned Li Yan could be said to be progressing smoothly.

Fang Guoshou has already built a city in Tongliao, and has prepared food for the army.

Yu Chixin led the army, and it was less than ten days away from Tongliao City.

Occupy Tongliao, and then control the entire Songmo Dudufu, and then control western Liaoning.

As long as he can gain a firm foothold in western Liaoning, he will drive a nail into the rear of the pseudo-yan.

Some players even put forward the slogan of occupying Liaodong and colonizing Silla Japan.

Longyou's external expansion has entered a period of calm, Li Yan is now most concerned about the two major internal projects in Longyou.
