Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 371 Strategy

The army of the Tang Dynasty marched thousands of miles away with the invincible army. As a result, the Gaochang Kingdom, which had previously betrayed the covenant and provoked repeatedly, surrendered without firing an arrow.The powerful Tang army beheaded Ju Zhisheng, the king of Gaochang who had surrendered before the battle, and then sent troops into the city, looting wantonly, causing the Han and Hu tribes inside and outside the city to be frightened. The act of massacring the city.

Fortunately, the Han people have no shortage of loyal and benevolent people after all. The Xinxiang Hou had the courage to fight against the coach of the Tang army, forcing the Tang army to end the catastrophe.

When the Tang army marched out of the city to assemble, one after another set off, and the troops returned to the court, the Han and Hu ethnic groups stationed near Gaochang City let out a long breath.Especially when I heard that the military general stationed in Gaochang Kingdom was the benevolent and steadfast Marquis of Xinxiang.

This scene made Hou Junji extremely depressed before the army was launched. Damn boy, his prestige has plummeted, but he has achieved his reputation as a "Buddha of ten thousand families" in Gaochang country and even in the entire Western Region. It is unreasonable!
Do you think that if you don't return with the army, I will take you for granted?

Just wait for me!
Seeing the same military general riding on the horse smiling and saying goodbye to Fang Jun one by one, Hou Junji's heart was full of killing intent!
With a cold snort, he rode forward.

Gaochang Kingdom is also known as "Fire Island". The scorching sun and the billowing yellow sand are burning hot. Fang Jun just said goodbye to Qibi Heli. Qibi Heli admired Fang Jun's unscrupulous temper, so he said more After a few words, the conversation was very happy.

After bidding farewell to Qibi He Li, Fang Jun saw the gentle and handsome grandson Chong riding a horse with the Chinese army, so he rode his horse over and shouted loudly: "My son-in-law, stay here for now!"

Chang Sun Chong didn't want to talk to Fang Jun, but his character was feminine and uninhibited, even if he was annoyed to death, he would not openly tear his face openly.A gentle gentleman, likes and dislikes is at his heart, why bother to speak ill at each other?
Therefore, he had no choice but to rein in his horse, forced a smile, and said to Fang Jun who was chasing up, "What advice do you have, Lord Admiral?"

Fang Jun pretended to be enthusiastic, and said: "What is this son-in-law talking about? It's too far-fetched! Although you have only been together for a short time, you are in love with each other and have the same heart and soul. Why did the son-in-law abandon me and return to Chang'an alone? If you don't stay, you My brothers have worked side by side to stabilize the situation in Gaochang Kingdom, and the imperial court will inevitably set up a state capital and dispatch officials, wouldn't it be a great achievement then?"

Who is in love with you!
Who will take you with all your heart!
I can't wait to stab you to death, bastard...

Changsun Chong was almost disgusted by Fang Jun, and cursed in his heart, but forced a smile on his face: "Who said it wasn't... But the lower official is in poor health, and he is very homesick, so he doesn't want to stay in Gaochang country for a moment. It is indeed a great achievement to maintain the stability of the place, but it is a pity that the lower officials cannot accompany Lord Hou, I wish you a bright future!"

"Hehe," Fang Jun said with a smile, "Why are you being so polite? In fact, it's not as good as you said. At least, in this western region, Turkic cavalry come and go like the wind. Who knows when I will come again Raid in the middle of the night? Speaking of which, many people wished I would die. Who knows if someone will send ten carts and eight carts of refined iron to buy off the Turkic Khan again? The last time I was lucky enough to repel the Turkic cavalry, the next time, it may not be possible Just such good luck."

Chang Sun Chong's heart beat wildly, and the smile on his face froze.

This kid...is he doubting himself?
That's right, the Turkic people came after me when I moved away. It's too suspicious. The last time, the operation was a bit hasty. If it is stable, there may not be better opportunities...

It's a pity that those stupid Turkic people are really useless. Instead of killing this kid, they made themselves suspicious.

Chang Sun Chong was really not in the mood to argue with Fang Junxu, he cupped his hands and said, "It's getting late, Lord Hou will not see you off again. It won't be long before we can meet in Chang'an City. At that time, I will welcome Lord Hou again!"

Then, without waiting for Fang Jun to speak, he rode forward on his own, wishing to get away from Fang Jun as soon as possible.

Fang Jun laughed loudly, and said loudly behind his back: "If that's the case, then it's a deal! The son-in-law of the eldest grandson must remember to ask Her Royal Highness Princess Changle to also be present. I still owe Her Royal Highness an apology!"

Changsun Chong was so angry that he wanted to immediately turn his horse's head and turn around to fight Fang Jun!
Of course, if he can beat Fang Jun...

That que "Ai Lian Shuo" has been popular in Guanzhong for a long time, and I don't know how many scholars and scholars praised it extremely, which made Fang Jun's reputation vaguely praised by famous scholars, with countless praises!But for Chang Sun Chong, the more popular "Ai Lian Shuo" is, the more jealous he will be!
As long as people talk about "Ai Lian Shuo", they will inevitably talk about the context of this poem, and they will inevitably say that it was given to His Royal Highness Princess Changle by Fang Jun... As a result, various scandals spread everywhere Spread the word, and the more time travel is outrageous!
Every time the scholars got together, someone with good deeds would bring it up and talk about it, so that Chang Sun Chong had to hold his head like a tortoise, and never dared to attend this kind of gathering again.

humiliation!

Chang Sun Chong almost gritted his teeth, and muttered angrily: "Don't be complacent, wait for me..."

************
Tens of thousands of troops retreated, and Gaochang finally calmed down.

It's just a little too quiet. Although Fang Jun has a good reputation, the previous chaos did scare the people and merchants of Gaochang Kingdom. Everyone hid at home and watched quietly, not daring to stand out rashly.

Looking at the deserted streets, Fang Jun couldn't help feeling depressed...

Regarding the Western Regions, Fang Jun's mood is very complicated, and he doesn't know what attitude he should take to deal with it.

It is too far away from Datang, and the roads are difficult and the environment is harsh. As time goes by, desertification is getting faster and faster, and water sources are getting less and less. The entire Western Regions have become "chicken ribs". Tasteless, it's a pity to throw it away...

When the Central Plains dynasty was strong, the barbarians were overwhelmed and the Western Regions were stable.Once the Central Plains Dynasty went through ups and downs and the political situation was turbulent, all the monsters and demons of the Western Regions would come out together, Turkic people, Tiele people, big cannibals... all wanted to stir up wind and rain in this land.

Speaking of it, the Central Plains Dynasty's control over the Western Regions is still too weak.

No way, this is caused by natural factors and geographical environment, and it does not depend on the will of some people.

On the other hand, although the Silk Road has been the main channel of trade between the East and the West since ancient times, Fang Jun firmly believes that after the development of sea trade in the future, it will definitely become the main means of foreign trade of the Tang Dynasty.

After all, the cost of commerce and trade by land is too huge.

In this way, the business route in the Western Regions becomes dispensable and not so important...

But at the same time, Fang Jun is also a fanatical land controller. He yearns for a super country with a vast territory and wealth all over the world. In the past, whenever he looked at the map and looked at the vast land occupied by Russia, he felt a heart-wrenching feeling. Pity……

But he also knew that the result of insatiable greed and occupation of the Western Regions would certainly make the map extremely vast at a certain stage, but at the same time, the consequences would be the dispersion of the garrisons and the weakening of national strength and military expenditure.

The gain outweighs the gain...

Strategically, the countries of the Western Regions are the buffer zone between the East and the West, and the buffer zone of Hengyuan on the western border of the Tang Dynasty. Once the countries of the Western Regions are unified and integrated by a certain force, they will directly threaten the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, The countries in the Western Regions must be under the control of Datang.

It's not impossible to garrison troops, but Datang's current military system is a natural defect.

The Western Regions are too far away, so the strategy of taking turns to be stationed will definitely not work. It will take half a year to go all the way. The government soldiers stationed in the Western Regions will inevitably cause great damage to the farmland production in their hometown. It is unreasonable to defend the Western Regions, but it will cause a shortage of labor at home. ...

Recruitment system?

This is actually the ultimate path for future development, and the Fubing system has too many flaws.

However, judging from the current social situation in the Tang Dynasty, Fubing is the most suitable system. Therefore, if you want to convert the Fubing system into a recruiting system, the time has not come, and you will inevitably encounter great resistance.

In what way will the Western Regions and Datang be closely linked together?

Fang Jun was quite distressed, and tried his best to recall the national strategies of the countries in the world in his previous life, trying to find a solution once and for all...
