Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3666 Strategies for the future
It was not until the middle of the moon that Fang Jun and the others said goodbye to the prince and bowed out.

The bright moonlight sprinkled on the snow on the eaves and roof tiles in the inner gate, reflecting a white halo. Fang Jun declined Li Daozong's invitation to have a few drinks, said goodbye to the two, and walked quickly from the Xuanwu Gate. Exit and return to Youtunwei Camp.

The soldiers had been waiting here for a long time, and surrounded Fang Jun and wanted to go back to his residence, but Fang Jun shook his head and said, "Go to Zanpo's place."

"Here."

Zanpo led the Tubo Huqi to station on the north bank of the Weishui River, where the Guanlong army was originally stationed when the Zhongwei Bridge was blocked.

The night was lonely, the cold wind was slow, and soldiers and scouts shuttled from time to time. This large area has now been under the control of the East Palace, ensuring that the road from Weishui to Longxi remains smooth.

Outside the Hu cavalry camp, there were already scouts entering the room, and Zan Po had time to put on a leather robe and hurriedly greeted her.

"The commander returned to Chang'an after all the hardships and dangers. Just when Haosheng was resting, why did he come here?"

Zan Po's eyes flickered, a little puzzled.

Fang Jun jumped back from the horse, first threw the reins to his personal soldiers, then untied the saber from his waist, and threw it to Wei Ying behind him at will, stepped forward and laughed, hugged Zanpo's shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile : "Why do you need to sleep for a long time during your life? You will sleep forever after death! Tonight, the moonlight is like silver, and the cool breeze is like water. You should take advantage of the good years to take a break from your busy schedule, have a few drinks with your friends, and guide the country to scold Fang Qiu. A pleasure!"

Zanpo was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed: "I can't ask for it! Come on, roast a sheep, prepare a good wine, I want to have a drink with the commander!"

"Eh!"

The two entered the camp side by side, and while walking to Fang Jun, he smiled and said, "How can you be greedy for a cup when friends gather? Besides, you and I are so friendly, and you can call each other politely in private. I call you a compliment, and you call me. Erlang, the general goes to the commander all day long, trouble!"

This kind of refreshing temperament is full of Zanpo's appetite, and she laughed: "It's what you want!"

When the two returned to the big tent, there were already Tubo soldiers who had set up a tent. The four-foot-high felt formed a circle to resist the cold wind. The lamb was already on the fire.

A thick felt was spread on the ground, and the two sat on the floor. Zan Po waved his hand to repel the soldiers, leaving only the two in charge of roasting the mutton, making a few side dishes, and drinking.

Fang Jun is a man of drinker, and Zan Po is not too much. They are Fang Jun’s rare opponents. ...

Zanpo's high-altitude red face became more and more red and radiant.

Although he arbitrarily led the army to assist Fang Jun in entering Guanzhong to resist the rebels, and had the intention of befriending the Tang Dynasty and getting the support of the Tang Dynasty, but after coming here, in the face of the overt or covert rejection and guard against the Tang army, Couldn't help but fall into apprehension and hesitation.

The Tubo people are not afraid of sacrifice, but if they tried their best to lose their lives but still could not be recognized by the Tang Dynasty, and would not support the Gar family in the future against the nobles in the cities, then what is the value of sacrifice today?
Unsurprisingly, more than [-] Tubo Hu knights were in low spirits, doing nothing in the camp all day, and didn't care much about the current battle situation in Chang'an City, and even some people in the army began to think about when to return to Qinghai Lake...

Fang Jun is here in person, but he has swept away the worries and haze in Zanpo's heart. Feeling Fang Jun's attention, and Fang Jun's words revealing that the Prince of Tang will issue a reward tomorrow, he can't help but be overjoyed. .

The oil dripped on the bonfire, the sound of "beep beep peeling off", and the aroma was overflowing.The Tubo soldiers cut the mutton piece by piece with silver knives, put it on a plate and presented it to the two of them.The two were drinking wine, chewing the mutton in their hands, and talking happily.

Fang Jun poured a glass of wine for Zan Po, and they both drank it and asked with a smile, "I invited you to come with Zan Po this time. Have you ever felt resentment that you were used by me?"

Zanpo shook her head and said sullenly: "Erlang is over-hearted, but when it's true, there is nothing at all! We Tibetans don't pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality. People and people, tribes and tribes are all the most real interests. Being able to be used by others means that You still have some value and some ability, if no one uses it, then you can basically disappear on the plateau."

There is also the value of being used by others, which is indeed a happy thing.

Fang Jun nodded and said: "Han people and Tubo people are still different. In addition to interests, we also pay attention to friendship... The Gar family and the Tang Dynasty were originally hostile. Gradually cultivate tacit understanding during the cooperation. This time my grandmother helped me to help the East Palace, and tomorrow I will help you to establish a foothold in Qinghai Lake. Only through such exchanges one after another can we abandon our previous hatred and cooperate sincerely. I hope that thousands of years from now, Karma will The descendants of the Er family can be friends with the Han people from generation to generation, support each other, and never die!"

……

For Datang, it is very necessary to support a force that can buffer the direct hostility with Tubo.No matter from a historical point of view or an analysis of the current situation, it is almost inevitable that the Tibetans seek land in the Tang Dynasty from the plateau. Once a war breaks out between the two superpowers of this era, it will be a protracted war. The casualties of soldiers and the consumption of baggage will be on an unprecedented scale, and both sides are in danger of subjugating the country at every turn.

Historically, Tubo took advantage of the chaotic domestic political situation in the Tang Dynasty to take the opportunity to send troops to occupy Hexi, cut off the Silk Road, and then jointly attacked the Western Regions with the Turks and other ethnic groups.

As a result, Datang was not only unable to support the Anxi Army guarding the Western Regions, but even had to interrupt communication with each other, causing the Anxi Army to be trapped in an isolated city and fight bloody battles for as long as 50 years.When the city guarded by the last Anxi army was captured by the Tubo army, the gray-haired soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were all over the city died bravely, and the whole army died in battle.

The era that was once brilliant and prosperous in the world ended with the demise of the gray-haired Anxi Army.

When Emperor Wenzong of Tang Dynasty finally communicated the connection with the Western Regions, "Seeing that the prefectures and cities of Gan, Liang, Gua, and Sha are still the same as before, the people who were trapped in Tibet saw the Tang messenger's festival, and weeping and weeping across the road, saying: 'The emperor still misses the souls of the trapped Tibet. No? 'All of them are descendants of those who were trapped in Tubo in Tianbao, their language is slightly corrupted, and their clothes have not been changed."  …

The sentence "Is the emperor still thinking of trapping the life of the people?", pouring out the helplessness and sadness of the Central Plains dynasty.

Huo Qubing sent troops to the west of Hexi and defeated the Huns. In the mournful cry of the Huns that "lose my Qilian Mountains, so that my six animals will not live; lose my Yanzhi Mountains, so that my married women will be colorless", and established the first time that the Central Plains Dynasty dignified the group. Sweeping the king of Liuhe Tubaye, and then set up Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and other counties along the Qilian Mountains, "Zhang Guo's arm and tuck, to connect the Western Regions".

As a result, the Central Plains Dynasty began to invade the Western Regions from generation to generation, vowing to bring this vast land, which is crucial to the stability of the Han family, under its rule.

However, Hexi is long and narrow and lacks strategic depth. The desert in the north is the place where the Hu ethnic group lives and can go south at any time; in the south is the border of Tubo, where the soldiers and frontiers are located, and the threat is even greater.As long as the domestic political situation in Datang changes, the land in Hexi will be easily lost, thus discarding the entire Western Regions.

If the Gar family thrived in the south of the Qilian Mountains and acted as a buffer between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo, then the Tang Dynasty would have more opportunities to ease the control of Hexi.

Supporting the Gar family, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, it is imperative...

……

After comforting Zan Po, who was in low morale and unstable in the army, Fang Jun burped his wine and returned to his place of residence.

It was already Yin Shi, and the tent was still brightly lit. When Fang Jun walked into the tent, he saw his wives and concubines all sitting in the tent waiting. On the dining table of Nuoda, the food and drinks had already cooled down...

Looking at the beautiful faces full of worry and joy who stood up and greeted him, Fang Jun was full of apologies and bowed his apology: "For these days, the East Palace has ignored the Tubo Huqi, which has caused his army's heart to be unstable and his intention to retire. I came here because of my husband's invitation, so I went to appease it, and it was really a sin to make all your sweet wives wait for a long time."

Princess Gao Yang stepped forward to take the robe he took off, her eyes full of concern: "Brother Prince, too, Lang Jun worked so hard for him and was in danger, but he couldn't even do such a thing..."

Fang Jun sat on the chair, stretched out his hand to take the tea made by Wu Meiniang, took a sip, and exhaled: "It's no wonder His Royal Highness, it's because my husband has a deep longing for the Gar family, and I hope he will be able to do it in the future. It has become a buffer between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, so I have to pay more attention."

Wu Meiniang sat next to Fang Jun and glanced at Jin Shengman, who was standing behind Fang Jun and kneading his shoulders, she bet on Fang Jun's face with bright eyes, hesitated, and asked, "The battle in Chang'an is in full swing now, and the future is in full swing. Unexpectedly, why does Langjun seem not to worry about the failure of the East Palace at all, and even began to plan for frontier problems for decades to come? This time Langjun went to Luoyang... It is not that he has gained nothing as the outside world said?"

Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, then immediately startled.

These girls are really talented and exquisite, and they can see the clue from this matter alone...

As expected, she deserves to be No.1 in the ages, my wife has the appearance of a great emperor!
