With the assistance of Li Tai, Tang Jian began to conduct an orderly comprehensive survey of the entire Tang Dynasty population, and the progress was quite smooth.
Li Shimin was very satisfied with Li Tai's ability to understand the general principles and did not regard the agricultural institution system he built as his own private property. He did not hide it when the country needed it. Instead, he was very satisfied with this.
However, Li Shimin's good mood only lasted for a while.
Because Gaochang finally replied, Gaochang Wang Wentai faced Li Shimin's edict and said he was sick and did not come to pay his respects.
This is more or less shameless to Li Shimin, and he slapped himself hard!
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "King King Qu Wentai of Gaochang is domineering and arrogant, and does not know the number of days. Now he wants to deceive me. It seems that our Tang Dynasty needs to regain prestige in the Western Regions to inherit the ambitions of the Qin and Han Dynasties!"
"I am willing to help the saints clear away the evil spirits and monsters in the Western Regions for Ban Chao!" Hou Junji could not help but his eyes lit up when he saw that there was a battle.
The last time he fought with Tubo was really not happy for Hou Junji, especially his majesty was stolen by Wang Xuance.
Now that Gaochang's Ju Wentai jumped out, at least for Hou Junji, it was finally his turn to make his record.
Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji and nodded. He still believed Hou Junji's strength.
Then he turned his attention to Fang Xuanling. After all, this time it can be said that it was a labor expedition, which is a great test for logistics.
As for the head-on battle, Li Shimin believed that Hou Junji's strength would definitely wipe out the ghosts and monsters in the Western Regions.
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin as he looked at him, and could only stand up and said respectfully:
"I have sufficient military supplies in the Tang Dynasty. Although this trip is 7,000 miles, the army has storage and supplies before leaving Yumen Pass. After leaving Yumen Pass, they can bring tea and chicken. Even if there is no food, if these things are there, they can hold on at least half of them.
Monthly time.”
To be honest, Fang Xuanling had to admit that although the tea and jerky developed by King Wei cost a billion dollars, it was really convenient to store or transport it in the war.
If you rinse it with boiled water when eating hot food, it will be a very good bowl of hot soup. Even if you order it urgently, you will catch cold water, and you won’t be able to eat these things.
After all, it is much better than a Guoku, who is so hard that he can make armor.
Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin nodded and said, "I ordered Hou Junji to be the chief general of the Jiaohedao marching, Xue Wanjun, the general of Zuotun Guard, as the deputy chief general, and Wang Xuance, the governor of Xihai Prefecture, as the chief general of Xihai, and led tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry and Turks,
Qi Zi's people fought against Gaochang.
We need to send King Gaochang to our Tang Dynasty. If I say he wants to come by the imperial edict, then he must come by the imperial edict!”
"I obey the order!" When Hou Junji heard Li Shimin's words, he immediately responded with great enthusiasm.
"Will the prince be the army supervising this time?" Cen Wenben stood up and asked Li Shimin.
Li Shimin looked at Cen Wenbeng unexpectedly when he heard Cen Wenbeng's words.
Maybe I didn't expect that you, who had always thought you were a loyal minister, began to speak for the prince.
However, thinking about Li Chengqian's recent performance, others dare not say much, Zhang Xuansu is really worried.
However, Li Chengqian didn't learn well, but instead he became more and more biased as he grew longer.
If Li Shimin wanted to support Li Chengqian a year or two ago, I hope Li Chengqian can fight for a breath.
But as Li Chengqian grew older and Li Tai, who was working well, compared it, Li Shimin chose to give up.
I just wanted to see how Cheng Qian could break the lower limit he knew.
No matter what, although Li Chengqian is the crown prince and his eldest son, isn’t there a substitute for Li Tai?
Therefore, although Li Shimin forced Li Chengqian to learn well, he was not so forced. If this son was really useless, he would not have no second consideration!
As Li Shimin let go, Li Chengqian became even more unscrupulous, which made Li Shimin even more disappointed.
"Let's go for a while!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said that he would not let Li Chengqian be the military supervisor this time.
Just like Li Chengqian's performance last time, I can't say that Li Chengqian was wrong, but he did not show any decisive military ability.
Let’s take a look at Wang Xuance, who fought with Tubo that day and ended the war on the same day, highlighting the simple and straightforward one.
In comparison, even Li Shimin had to admit that Li Chengqian did not seem to have inherited his military talent!
Although Li Tai did not show his more direct military talent, after Li Jing's reminder, Li Shimin felt a little different when he looked at Li Tai again.
As the saying goes, those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. Li Tai's performance on the battlefield is cautious and cautious.
Even the stray dogs who were ambushing Tuyuhun wanted to choose the best terrain, even if they didn't make it themselves, they would make one.
The most prominent thing is that you must be fully prepared when fighting with others. If you don’t do this, Li Tai will be instinctively worried.
Only this is the case, Li Tai is not very outstanding on the battlefield, but at least he can be regarded as a good general.
After all, many generals may not even be able to do the word "cautious".
However, what really attracted Li Shimin was Li Tai's ability to take the initiative to make various military preparations like preparing for the future.
Whether it is personnel training, logistics support, or even armor and weapons, Li Tai will do his best to prepare.
Many preparations were at least unnecessary in Li Shimin's opinion, but Li Tai could think of them one by one and make preparations.
For example, although the medical camp has been treated on the battlefield since ancient times, who has truly become a military branch independently? But Qingque did it.
Qingque has built a relatively complete medical system, or a heavy infantry covered in steel.
I didn't dare to think about this kind of iron bump, but now I looked at the iron bumps one by one and laughed unconsciously.
In short, Qingque can always prepare for the future, and even if war comes, it can maintain order to the greatest extent.
Soon, the news that the Tang Dynasty began to recruit soldiers to fight Gaochang Ju Wentai began to spread from Chang'an. A famous soldier prepared for his intention to make a big splash and began to sign up enthusiastically.
Although this expedition was in the Western Regions, the distance could not stop the enthusiasm of the soldiers.
For the lower-level soldiers, the Tang Dynasty has never lost until now, and this time it is just going to fight to the west.
These soldiers never had many ways to get promoted and make money. Now they finally have one, how can they let it go?
At this time, the Tubo envoys, after many difficulties and obstacles, climbed thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally came to Chang'an thousands of miles.
"These Tang people seem very excited. I wonder what's the reason?"
Sambuza looked at the Tang Dynasty and walked along the way, he could clearly feel the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the backwardness of Tubo.
Especially when he came to Chang'an, Sambuza could clearly feel the gap between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty. At least at this moment, the capital of Tubo may not be able to compare even Qinzhou in Longyou Road.
But such a gap will make some people hate themselves in a poor country, but for some people, they will find ways to change the barbarity of their birthplace and send their hometown into civilization with their own hands.
Sambuza is such a pure person. He once traveled to Buddhist temples in India. After learning Buddhism, he returned to his country to compile primary school books with Buddhist wisdom to give wisdom to the Tubo people in his hometown.
Although I did not see the results I had gained while living in Sambuza, it is undeniable that it is because of people like Sambuza that Buddhism has the opportunity to take root in Tubo, and even kill the original religion in the future and become the national religion.
.
"I'll go and ask!" Lu Dongzan thought to Sambuza, and ran to the crowd to ask.
To be honest, Lu Dongzan's talent in linguistics is quite good, and he has a good mastery of Chinese.
Of course, it is not comparable to Sambuza. Sambuza came down from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It was learning and growing up all the way. No matter what words it was, Sambuza could learn very well soon.
In terms of linguistic talent, at least in the entire Tubo, no one is the opponent of Sambuza.
To be honest, Sambuza asked better, because Sambuza's own natural ability can not only give people the authoritative trust of the solemn treasure elephant, but also have a kind of affable closeness and kindness.
In short, if Sambuza engages in diplomacy or interpersonal relationships within a certain political body, it can act as a lubricant, reduce friction within the organization, and enable the overall strength to be exerted as much as possible.
To be honest, this society is often an era of being in a bad mood. An organization often plays the role of not the upper limit of an organization, but the lower limit of an organization.
Therefore, when lubricant exists, it can greatly improve the lower limit of the organization, so the effect of Sambuza on Tubo can naturally be imagined.
But now it is the most dangerous time for Tubo. At least Songtsen Gampo believes that he needs to learn from the Tang Dynasty to let Tubo grow.
As such, even if someone like Xi is Sambuza was sent to the Tang Dynasty to study. After all, Sambuza's mastery of language is really suitable.
Lu Dongzan came back soon, his face couldn't help but feel a little serious, and said:
"It was King Gaochang Ju Wentai who violated the Tang Emperor, so the Tang Emperor ordered to lead troops to attack the Western Regions."
"This is just an excuse!" Sambuza shook his head after hearing this.
"The Tang Dynasty occupied the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and had the qualification to look down at the Western Regions from a high place.
The Tang Dynasty obviously wanted to take this opportunity to demonstrate the power of the Tang Dynasty and bring back the authority that the Tang Dynasty lost in the Western Regions.
Gaochang King Ju Wentai is just a target, and he jumped out by himself!”
Sambuza made a judgment, but his expression became a little serious. He couldn't help but sigh: "The Tang Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger!"
"One day, our Tubo will become as powerful as the Tang Dynasty!"
Lu Dongzan comforted Sambuza. Even if he was severely hammered by the Tang Dynasty, he could not change Lu Dongzan's patriotic spirit.
"Yeah!" Sambuza did not object to Lu Dongzan's words, but instead said seriously to Lu Dongzan.
"That's how we came to Chang'an today. The prosperity of Chang'an is so dazzling that it makes people's eyes open!"
"Sambuza, since the Tang Dynasty is going to conquer Gaochang this time, I want to take this opportunity to follow the Tang army and act together." Lu Dongzan said to Sambuza, "At least I can follow the Tang army in person, and I know that in military affairs.
How to improve it!”
"Who is the leader? Have you found out clearly?" Sambuza couldn't help asking when he heard Lu Dongzan's words.
"Hou Junji, I have stopped the guy from the East Girl Country!" Lu Dongzan said calmly when he heard Sambuza's words.
"Then you dare to go with him?" Sambuza was stunned when he heard Lu Dongzan's words.
But Lu Dongzan shook his head and said, "If someone else was changed, I might not be sure.
But Hou Junji's words were actually a very arrogant guy. He had to defeat me upright, rather than kill me with insidious means.
After all, this is a general of the Tang Kingdom. He still has this energy, and I can learn the best with him!"
"Since you have made a decision, I won't say much!"
When Sambuza heard Lu Dongzan's clear and rational words, his expression became much more serious.
After all, Lu Dongzan is a talented person in Tubo. Sambuza never thought that Lu Dongzan was worse than the talented person in the Tang Dynasty, but Tubo's background was too weak to support a talented person like Lu Dongzan.
"What about you?" Lu Dongzan said with a little seriousness when he heard Sambuza's words.
"I should say hello to the court officials first, and then go to a temple in Chang'an to hold a order and be a person who spreads Buddhism!" Sambuza made a flower-picking seal and said, "But the Buddha came to the west and spreading was supreme.
The Dharma is just a way to exchange the literary styles of the Tang Dynasty.”
To be honest, Sambuza feels that compared with the Tubo area that was suppressed by the First Sect, the Buddhist environment of the Tang Dynasty made Sambuza look like this paradise. The so-called Western Paradise in Buddhism is nothing more than that.
Sambuza was confident that he could definitely gain the status of a Buddhist master by just debating Buddhism with a dignified attitude.
There is no way. There is a kind of tongue-cutting ceremony when debating Buddhist scriptures in India. Simply put, if you lose the debate on Buddhist scriptures, you will have your tongue cut off.
They are really using their lives to pass on the teachings of their religion. If a religion fails, they may not be able to pass on the teachings anymore.
Sambuza's Buddhism, Hinduism, and even Brahminism in India were mixed up, and his tongue was still good, enough to see Sambuza's strength.
I have to mention Xuanzang here. He also wandered around India and participated in various debates, but in the end his tongue returned to the Tang Dynasty, which shows that Xuanzang had never lost.
The tongue is the best proof.
But any of these masters who came from this kind of immortal situation, who came to the Buddhist environment of the Tang Dynasty, were all fried fish in the fish pond.
It is absolutely easy for Sambuza to become a generation of monks, and he is even a generation of monks himself.
With the status of a high monk, even if he is a Tubo person, if he just wants to copy books or something, it will be much more convenient to act.
Sambuza wanted all kinds of books that did not involve homeschooling, and the monks in the temple would basically handle it for Sambuza.
Even after the officials and people from the Ministry of Rites learned about this, they might even give Sambuza a help.
After all, China is very friendly to foreigners who like to learn from their own literary culture.
