Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

As for the battle situation of the players in the Central Plains, Li Tan only read the report from the staff department and stopped paying attention.

Both Zhang Duanyang and Zhang Wu were the top figures among the players, they defeated An Qingxu's refugee army, all of this was within Li Tan's expectation.

Now that An Qingxu and Cui Youqian have been driven to the edge of Dazeye, it is only a matter of time before they are destroyed. This can be considered as a solution to the threat to the southeast of the imperial court.

What Li Tan paid more attention to was the result of the great detour strategy. If the three towns in Hedong could be pulled out, then Shi Siming would have completely lost his foundation, and he would see the dawn of pacifying the Anshi Rebellion.

Li Mi looked at the latest military map and said, "This is a good victory! Zhang Duanyang and Zhang Wu have done a great job in blocking the passage for the bandits to enter the southeast!"

But Li Tan just said lightly: "The situation in the Central Plains is not important, the most important thing is the battle in Zhuozhou City."

Only then did Li Mi remember that he was no longer the Secretary and Superintendent of the Tang court, but now he was an aide of the Yue Palace.

Just now, from the perspective of Datang, Li Mi saw it as a battle that could be called a turning point in the war.

Being able to keep An Qingxu's refugee army out of the Jianghuai River, ensure the stability of the Tang Dynasty's economic center, and regain control of the Bianhe water transport are all major events related to the Luoyang war situation.

But for Longyou, this was just an unexpected victory, and the whole Longyou was more concerned about the battle situation in Hedong.

"Does Dalun think that Tubo should also join in the war against Tang?"

The victory of Nanzhao inflated the ambitions of the Tubo people. Zanpu of all dynasties coveted the land and population of Tang Dynasty, and the young Chisong Dezan was no exception.

Since more and more people appeared around Li Heng, the emperor no longer trusted Li Mi as much as before.

Since Lianhuasheng entered Tubo, he received courtesy from the whole city of Luoxie. He not only entered Zanpu Palace to explain Buddhism in person, but also often took his disciples to explain Buddhism in Luoxie city.

"Longshang is the north exit of central Shu. If you occupy Longshang, you can also enter Shuzhong. If Bashu is in your hands, and you can take the land east of the river, then you can encircle Guanzhong."

Li Mi's words were already outrageous, but he was indeed planning for Li Tan.

Li Mi looked at Li Tan and said:
"Your Highness, it's time to enter Longshang."

Li Tan and Li Heng were somewhat similar when they were young, and at this moment, it seemed as if time had converged in the long river of history.

The area he now occupies is less than one-sixth of the territory of Datang.

Except for Huichuan Prefecture being counterattacked by the Tang army, Datang has now lost the southern Sichuan area and can only defend in the central Shu area.

Li Mi couldn't remember exactly when Li Heng's heart changed.

Shang Jiezan is much younger than Shang Qixin'er. He is now the head of the Tubo Zanpu's wife, the Napo family, and is Chisong Dezan's brother-in-law.

Zanpu frowned and said, "The Tang family is so weak, how could they defeat Shang Qixin'er in Tuyuhun?"

But when King Yue's army captured Liaodong step by step, and now that Yu Chixin had already conquered Zhuozhou City, Li Mi no longer doubted Li Tan's plan.

Relying on the alliance with the Na Nang family, Chisong Dezan was able to succeed to the throne quickly and gain a firm foothold, wrestling with the powerful officials who controlled Zan Puting.

For Li Tan, after acquiring Lingzhou, Longshang was the passage between Longyou and Guanzhong.

And the Nang family is a family that has been married to Tubo Zanpu for generations, and is a powerful family second only to the Tubo royal family.

Nanzhao's army is far weaker than that of Tubo. You must know that Nanzhao drank blood in the mountains decades ago.

For this seemingly crazy plan of the King of Yue, Li Mi can only feel the strength of Longyou.

"If you occupy Longshang, you can enter Guanzhong. If there is a change in Chang'an, you can send an elite to quickly sweep through Guanzhong."

Among them, the parts about reincarnation, hell and the Buddha Kingdom are very popular with dignitaries and ordinary people.

Li Mi can check the information gathered by the players and be in charge of the confidential work of the clerical work around Li Tan. It must be guesswork for him to say that.

Shang Jiezan nodded, and the Na Nang family was also eager to expand. The Na Nang family of Shang Jiezan's family was awarded the territory of the southern part of Tubo, and it was also the land bordering the western part of the Tang Dynasty.

It was also because of this that Li Mi left Chang'an disheartened, but he did not expect to join the King of Yue by mistake, and this feudal lord far away in Longyou was actually carrying out this plan.

The day when the young Zanpu took charge of Zanputing was getting closer and closer. Chisong Dezan, who had gradually won the internal struggle, set his sights on Datang.

When Li Mi escorted Li Heng to Lingwu, and under his planning Li Heng finally ascended to the throne, the young man who talked with him all night was completely dead.

Shang Jiezan said: "I think you should directly join the battle against Tang, but you should not send troops with Nanzhao."

When he first saw the roundabout strategy, Li Mi also felt that King Yue was crazy.

And because Yuantong can memorize the scriptures only once, and can even recite them backwards, he stands out among the disciples of Padmasambhava.

Li Tan nodded. It was already the player's consensus to go out of Hexi and occupy Lanzhou. The question now is how to send troops to Lanzhou in a legitimate way.

In the Luoxie city of Tubo, in the Samye Monastery.

Li Mi continued:

These days, the opinions of the staff are also the same. Longshang is an important channel for the forces of Longyou to go south, and the most important city is Lanzhou.

The expansion of the Tang Dynasty will inevitably increase the land of the Nang clan, and those Tang people are the best slaves and commodities.

No, Li Bi shook his head, now Li Tan is capable of realizing his ambitions!
I must assist Li Tan to achieve his goal!
However, Li Mi is also very clear that to realize Li Tan's plan, he must become an emperor.

Chisong Dezan asked suspiciously: "Aren't you going to march from the west of Sichuan?"

Through this opportunity, Yuantong has been able to enter and leave the mansions of the Tubo nobles, and even entered the Tubo royal court several times.

Looking at the map, Li Tan couldn't help feeling that Datang was too big.

When meeting those dignitaries, Padmasambhava will learn how to practice to enter the Buddha Kingdom, how beautiful the Buddha Kingdom is.

Li Bi corrected his mentality. Now he is the staff officer of King Yue, and he can no longer think from the standpoint of the Tang court.

Li Tan looked at Li Mi suspiciously, but Li Mi did not continue to explain, but just told Li Tan to prepare to gather troops in Wuwei.

At the beginning and middle of each month, Padmasambhava will also hold a Dharma meeting in the Samye Monastery to personally explain the secret Buddhism created by him in Tubo.

Now on the map, the area representing Longyou has been painted red.

Sitting high on the throne, Tubo Zanpu couldn't help asking when he heard that Nanzhao's war was going so smoothly.

Only by becoming an emperor and possessing the righteousness to control the world, can the glorious plan be realized.

When meeting ordinary people, Padmasambhava talked about reincarnation. If you don’t practice good fruits in this life, you will fall into hell or be reincarnated as livestock to continue to suffer. You must endure to exchange for peace in the next life.

Now that Li Mi has this confidence, Li Tan said proudly: "Then follow Bi Gong's words, gather an army in Wuwei, and prepare to enter Lanzhou at any time."

Was it started by being attacked by Li Linfu, and Li Heng abolished the princess in order to protect himself?
Or was it when Yang Guozhong forced him to abolish the princess for the second time?
Or when ascending the throne?
Li Mi didn't know either, but that high-spirited young man was already dead, and the person sitting on the throne now was nothing but a puppet who firmly grasped the imperial power and was distorted by it.

While Luoxie City was vigorously spreading Buddhism, Nandao Dalun Shang Jiezan, who presided over the Tubo Nanzhao coalition forces on the eastern front, quietly returned to Luoxie City from the southern line, and secretly reported the progress of the southern war to Tubo Zanpu.

Crossing the Modong Grassland and directly attacking the Three Towns of Hedong, Li Tan has the determination and ambition to completely put down the chaos in Hedong.

Now the political struggle of Tubo Zanputing is about to come to fruition. The young Trisong Detsen is getting stronger day by day, and the anti-Buddhist ministers are getting weaker day by day.

Under Lianhuasheng's eloquent teaching of the Dharma, a storm of Buddhism was set off in the whole Luoxi city. Many Tibetan nobles who were not interested in Buddhism at first also worshiped Buddhist altars in their homes.

Nanzhao had no choice but to march under the coercion of Tubo, and they were able to achieve such fruitful results.

Jincheng, the seat of Lanzhou, is now Lanzhou City. It is a transportation hub and military fortress that "connects the four regions and leads thousands of miles". The meaning of "Jincheng Tangchi" is enough to illustrate the importance of Lanzhou's strategic location.

The queen of Tubo is also called Mengmo, and plays a pivotal role in Tubo's political system.

Longshang is the area in Gansu and northern Shaanxi today.

"The Tang family is so weak?"

Looking at Li Tan's young face, I thought of what Li Tan said when he first met him in Longyou, that he had the ambition to rule the world.

Except for Longyou, Hexi, Lingzhou and Pinglu, other areas are still not painted.

If you can occupy Lanzhou, you can enter Guanzhong to the east, and go south from the place where Zhuge Liang left Qishan, that is, Tianshui, Gansu counterattacks and enters Shuzhong.

Li Mi said with a smile: "If His Highness is worried that there is no reason to send troops to Lanzhou, then worry too much. I think that within a month, the imperial court will let His Highness enter Lanzhou."

Shang Jiezan said:
"I have already questioned the soldiers who participated in the battle of Tuyuhun. Shang Qi was so arrogant that she crossed the mountains and attacked Hexi of the Tang Dynasty, but was blocked by the tricks of the Tang family. She was ambushed before the entire army was annihilated."

"Shang Qixin'er was not strict in governing the army and was not good at governing the people, that's why Tuyuhun was defeated."

As the first batch of monks in the Samye Monastery, Yuantong also studied Buddhism under the disciple of Padmasambhava.

"Chengdu is tough. The mountains in southern Sichuan are barren, and the affluent Chengdu Mansion is a fortified city that the Tang people have managed for a hundred years. It is not so easy to capture."

Now that Datang is beaten like this by Nanzhao, it is enough to show the weakness of Datang today.

Li Mi was in a trance for a while, as if he had returned to his boyhood. He and Li Heng, who was still the prince, talked all night, talking about the evils of the world, and discussing the crisis under the prosperity of Tianbao. ambition.

Li Mi said many times that he hoped that the emperor could attack Hedong and completely quell the Anlu Mountain Rebellion, but the emperor only wanted to pacify the world as soon as possible and complete the nominal achievement of unifying the world.

Even the players in the General Staff sent troops to Lanzhou on the basis of worrying about how to avoid disturbing the Tang court.

Trisong Dezan asked, "In view of the great theory, where should we attack first?"

Shang Jiezan pointed to the map and said: "The ministers should go north to attack Lanzhou. If they can occupy Jincheng, they can cut off Hexi and occupy Longyou, and avenge Shang Qixin'er's destruction."

"You can also directly plunder Guanzhong, which is the land of great prosperity in the Tang Dynasty."

"You can still go south to the middle of Shu, and join forces with Nanzhao to attack Chengdu!"

Chisong Dezan clapped his hands and said joyfully, "Good!"
