To the great surprise of the people of Fushun and Tuyuhun, the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty was really a trustworthy person.
They said they would help them, but in just three days, the army marched directly into their Tuyuhun territory.
Originally they thought that it would be good if the Tang Dynasty could dispatch 10,000 soldiers and horses, or even 5,000 or 6,000 soldiers and horses were possible.
But the Tang Dynasty has now sent out fifty thousand soldiers and horses!
This is what you have to do!
This time it was General Xue Rengui who led the troops.
Xi Junmai stayed and garrisoned in Yizhou.
Now, the 10,000 soldiers of the former Zhechong Mansion are unified under the command of Xi Junmai.
Xi Junmai will conduct military training recently.
Ten thousand Zhechongfu soldiers are enough to ensure the safety of Jiannan Road.
And now Wang Fangyi also leads 10,000 recruited troops, so safety is definitely not a problem.
Fushun, the Khan of Tuyuhun, received Xue Rengui ceremoniously, then slaughtered cattle and sheep, rewarded an army of 50,000 soldiers, and paid each soldier a hundred cents for his hard work.
With these 50,000 troops, Tuyuhun's safety can definitely be guaranteed.
Xue Rengui did not stay in the capital of Tuyuhun for too long. Three days later, Xue Rengui led an army of 50,000 people and marched directly to the border between Tuyuhun and the Turks.
Fushun saw that Tang's army was so solid that he didn't even ask their Tuyuhun army to follow them or act as vanguard.
Instead, he came directly to the forefront.
Once Tuyuhun's army enters the palace, they will definitely bear the brunt.
Datang, it was really interesting. Fu Shun was moved to tears.
…
At this time, Tubo also learned about this situation.
The 50,000-strong army of the Tang Dynasty suddenly entered Tuyuhun and stationed themselves in Tuyuhun and their border areas.
what is happening?
This could not help but make Songtsen Gampo and Tubo's national advisor Zhang Jianghe wary.
Well, Zhang Jianghe, the Tubo national advisor, was tricked by Li Min at the critical moment when he was retreating from Tuyuhun.
Zhang Jianghe led the Turkic army and jumped into the pit himself, and was flooded by the water.
Almost all of the eight thousand Turkic soldiers suffered casualties.
But Zhang Jianghe was really lucky. He was washed away by the flood, but he was not drowned.
It was washed away for dozens of miles and then washed into shallow water on the shore.
An hour later, Zhang Jianghe woke up faintly and returned to Tujue in despair.
Soon after returning, Zhang Jianghe received information. It turned out that after their Turkic army was washed away by the flood, the Tang army suddenly appeared from behind the Tuyuhun army and almost massacred them.
The Tang army even invaded the capital of Tuyuhun, killed their khan Fuyun, and appointed Fuyun's son Fushun as the new khan.
Tuyuhun became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.
After receiving this news, Zhang Jianghe couldn't help but frown tightly.
Zhang Jianghe couldn't help but think of an idiom from the Tang Dynasty: The snipe and the clam fight against each other, but the fisherman gets the benefit.
And Zhang Jianghe always felt that someone was behind all this.
Then, Zhang Jianghe ordered people to collect the calligraphy of Li Min, the king of Shu in the Tang Dynasty.
Comparing it with the instructions from God on the leaves, Zhang Jianghe was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Where is the instruction from God in this special girl? This is clearly the handwriting of King Shu of the Tang Dynasty!
At this point, Zhang Jianghe finally understood.
Co-author: All this is the fault of King Shu of the Tang Dynasty.
After understanding all this, Zhang Jianghe's teeth were almost broken.
…
This time, the Tang Dynasty once again sent 50,000 troops to the Tibetan border, which aroused high vigilance in Tibet.
Last time, they lost fifty thousand soldiers and horses in one fell swoop.
This was more than one-third of Tibet's troops.
What does Datang want to do now?
Are you planning to attack them from both Tuyuhun and Yizhou?
Songtsen Gampo and Zhang Jianghe had been plotting for a long time, but they still couldn't figure it out.
If we really want to attack them, such a small number of troops seems not enough, right?
If you don't attack them and you put your troops on the border, don't you need to receive military pay?
However, people have already deployed troops to the frontier, so they have to be on guard.
Therefore, Tubo sent 30,000 soldiers and horses to set up defenses in towns near the border, closely watching every move of the Tang soldiers and horses.
This situation once again made Tuyuhun Khan Fushun Hou fearful.
Fortunately, they asked for help early. Look, Tubo really has heavy troops on the border, right?
If the Tang army hadn't arrived in time, they might have already invaded Tuyuhun.
Therefore, without even waiting for Xue Rengui to speak, Fu Shun offered to be responsible for all expenses of the Tang army, and even doubled the military pay.
They could even provide the Tang army with five thousand fine war horses.
Anyway, Tuyuhun only produces horses. Now they don't have that many troops at all, and they can't use so many war horses.
Next, Xue Rengui began to train new troops in the border areas.
The food here is provided by Tuyuhun, and there is enough beef and mutton.
They lacked everything except meat.
Military pay was twice what it was in the Tang Dynasty.
This kind of treatment is not very good at all.
Originally, the new army of the Tang Dynasty had quite some complaints about coming to this frontier fortress.
But now, they feel they already like it here.
…
Unknowingly, the time has passed in the hot July and August.
The grass is green for a few times, and the maple leaves are red again.
August is the harvest season.
The sweet potatoes, peanuts and corns grown by the people throughout Jiannan Road began to have a good harvest.
Now when walking in the wilderness of Jiannan Road, you can see busy harvest scenes everywhere.
Compared with last year, this year can be said to be smooth and it will definitely be a bumper year.
Although the common people had sweat on their foreheads due to hard work, everyone's face was filled with uncontrollable joy.
It is the first time for most people to grow these new crops.
Then they discovered that these emerging crops were really high-yielding.
Especially for sweet potatoes, the yield was so high that they were surprised.
One acre of land can often yield more than two thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes.
Even if the ground is very poor and thin, you can get more than a thousand kilograms.
This was something they couldn't even imagine before.
With so much food, they no longer have to worry about going hungry.
Well, now even the people of Jiannan Road have planted new crops.
Every family has a good harvest. With so much food, there will definitely be more to eat.
But they don't have to worry about food prices falling.
Because these three new crops will be promoted throughout Datang.
Their income this year, as long as it is not worn out, will definitely be sold as growing grain.
In terms of price, it certainly cannot be lowered.
This year's one-year income is equal to their income in two or three years in previous years, or even more.
Therefore, the people of the entire Jiannan Road were in a state of joy.
