During this period of time, Su Chen did not wait around in the wind and sun on the battleship.
He had already led his people to the Imperial Palace of the Japanese Kingdom, and drove out all the Japanese royal family members who were originally in Huangliang. He occupied a palace by himself and lived a very comfortable life.
While Su Chen was busy making money in Japan, Datang was not idle either.
The new season rice in the south of the Yangtze River has matured, the army's food problem has been completely solved, and the war of invasion of the Western Turks has officially begun!
Su Chen originally expected the waiting time to be two months, but the reality deviated from his prediction.
Because he still underestimated the appeal of the wolf totem to the nobles of the Western Turks.
In addition to the Ashina tribe and the first three tribes, more than a dozen tribes gradually participated.
Each of their tribes wants to obtain the wolf totem to prove that they are the orthodox gods. There is even a rumor in the Western Turks that "the tribe that obtains the wolf totem can inherit the royal court."
Therefore, the fighting in Fuai City became increasingly fierce.
When Li Junxian showed up in Fuai City with the wolf totem for the second time, these Western Turkic nobles completely fell into a state of madness!
According to reports from frontline spies.
That day, the walls around Fuai City were bulldozed, and there were countless casualties in the city.
After searching for such a long time, the wolf totem was still not found. The patience of the Western Turks had long been exhausted. The entire Fuai City was littered with corpses and blood flowed like rivers!
Fuyun, the famous king of Tuyuhun, was completely in disarray!
He was originally facing off against the Tang Dynasty's army on the border. Who would have thought of starting a fire in the backyard? He had no idea what was going on with that wolf totem!
But the Western Turks were like crazy and didn't listen to his explanation at all.
He had no choice but to bring the 200,000 troops back for reinforcements.
What awaits him in Fuai City is more than 80% of the main combat strength of the Western Turks. Fu Yun has no chance of winning at all.
His army and the Western Turks were both steppe light cavalry, so their proud mobility advantage could not be used at all. They could not even escape!
In less than half a month, the army of 100,000 was dead and disabled, and in the end only 50,000 were left...
Fu Yun and other members of the Tuyuhun royal family abandoned the city and fled in despair.
Tuyuhun, a great country in the Western Region, has just become history.
This battle with the Western Turks completely spread the reputation of the Tang Dynasty.
Almost all countries in the Western Regions and Northwest Grasslands rushed to Chang'an to worship.
They didn't even dare to send envoys, and all the envoys were sent by the king himself.
They did not dare to make any demands, but only asked the Tang Dynasty to accept their surrender.
This time, it is the coming of all nations in the true sense!
Compared with last year when the four major tribes came to surrender, the scale was much larger.
The Western Turks have a very high status in the Western Regions, and these countries were all vassals of the Western Turks before.
Now the situation has suddenly changed, and the huge empire has suddenly collapsed, and they are all frightened!
It would be easy for the Western Turks to destroy them, but the Western Turks of the Tang Dynasty were countless times more powerful!
This huge gap in strength forced them to make careful calculations.
The influence of this war did not stop there. Even foreign countries such as Dashi, Byzantium and Tianzhu in the far west quickly learned about the news.
Because the Western Turks control the Silk Road, their caravans pass through the territory of the Western Turks every year, and the exchanges between several countries are very close.
Now that there is such a big commotion, it is naturally impossible to hide it from them.
Although these countries were surprised, they were not as scared as the countries in the Western Regions. After all, the Tang Dynasty was extremely far away from their territory.
If Su Chen knew their thoughts, he would definitely be very happy!
I hope they continue to be so optimistic and maintain this mentality, and it will be easier to destroy them in the future!
Back to business.
After learning about this incident, countries such as Dashi and Tianzhu also sent envoys to Taitang to send congratulatory gifts.
The main purpose is to establish a good relationship with the new owner of the Silk Road.
The benefits they obtain through this trade route every year are extremely huge, so there is absolutely no loss in running this trade route.
Silk, tea and other things from the Tang Dynasty were very popular in their country, and the spices they brought could earn tens of thousands of times the profit!
Therefore, the gifts they prepared this time are quite expensive!
Especially Tianzhu, they pay special attention to this trip.
In fact, if this war had not occurred, Tianzhu would also have wanted to establish a friendly and neighborly relationship with Datang.
According to the information they received, the entire Tang Dynasty believed in Buddhism.
Tianzhu is the birthplace of Buddhism. The two countries have exactly the same beliefs and should have more exchanges.
It's just that the previously powerful Tibet was sandwiched between the two countries, so it has never been able to achieve this goal.
Even the famous Xuanzang Buddhist scriptures had to bypass Tubo and go from the Western Regions.
Now that Tubo has been destroyed, the barrier between Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu no longer exists.
The Tang Dynasty wiped out the powerful Western Turks again, so they were naturally very willing to go through this fate.
Through the exchange of Buddhist scriptures, if we can form a friendly and mutually supportive relationship with Taitang, it will be of great help to them!
At this time, Tianzhu was divided into five countries: southeast, northwest, and middle.
The one that pays the most attention to this trip is the Rongri Dynasty, which was the country that was destroyed by Wang Xuance's borrowed troops in history.
However, at this time, the old king was not dead yet, and the Rongri Dynasty still very much hoped to have friendly relations with the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, this time he not only sent his eldest son, but also more than ten living Buddhas from the country.
Among all these foreign countries, the status of the envoys sent by the Rong-ri Dynasty was the most noble.
Not only that, the gifts they brought were also very precious.
In addition to gold and silver jewelry, there is also an extremely rare elixir!
There is a consensus among these foreign countries. The emperors of the Tang Dynasty all like to pursue immortality and study the art of alchemy.
This precious gift must surely satisfy the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
You know, this is the elixir refined by the tenth living Buddha of Tianzhu!
Just the name alone is enough to amaze people!
The group of people set off excitedly, and on the way they were talking about how generous the Tang emperor would give them in return.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that the Buddhas of the Tang Dynasty had been destroyed by Su Chen, and this elixir was what Su Chen and His Majesty Li Er hated the most.
There is really a question mark whether this trip is a blessing or a curse.
Tianzhu's trip was more than ten years earlier than in the original history, but the things he delivered were surprisingly similar.
Especially that elixir is very famous.
Because according to historical records, Li Shimin died at the age of fifty-four after taking the elixir offered by Tianzhu!
