Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: 402 Songmo Dudu Mansion

In the early morning of the second day, before the other city gates of Chang'an City were opened, the city gate to the direction of Baqiao had already opened unregulatedly. In the quiet pre-dawn darkness, they galloped through the streets of Chang'an City. The sound of horseshoes still awakened the people who passed by in each workshop, and also caused other early risers in the workshop to stop their work and listen to the neat sound of horseshoes. ??

In the imperial palace, standing at the gate of Xuanzheng Hall as if Wu Mei hadn’t left all night, watching the long cavalry come out of Chang’an City in an orderly manner, Wang Lou walked slowly behind him and whispered: " The queen, the seventeen people in the guards of the bow and crossbow, yesterday for unknown reasons, went into a fight after drunk, and ten people died."

"Oh? What about the other seven?" Wu Mei raised her eyebrows. The son of filial piety was neat, but it seemed unclean.

"Returning to the queen, the other seven people were found by the doctor Li Qiao due to alcoholism. They are now assigned to go to Liaodong with His Royal Highness." Wang Lou couldn't understand. Since these people are dissidents, Why would your Highness take risks with him?

Hearing Wang Lou's last words, Wu Mei's expression suddenly became cold, her stern gaze pointed deep into Wang Lou's heart, and she said coldly: "Are you sure it was taken away by Li Hong?"

"Returning to the queen, it is true that he was indeed taken away by His Royal Highness." Wang Lou's heartstrings tightened fiercely, and he didn't dare to ask if he was pressed against his heart.

But then Wu Mei's tone eased again: "This Li Hong, I really don't know how serious it is. Are you really afraid of what will happen to your mother?"

Hearing such words from the queen, Wang Lou's heart was full of doubts. His Royal Highness took away the seven people, which indeed solved the hidden dangers in the palace, but what did it have to do with the safety of the queen?

Wu Mei turned her head and watched the torch go away. She sighed up to the sky and asked: "Are you wondering, why did His Royal Highness bring the seven people around?"

"Going back to the queen, the servants were really puzzled. Since the prince knew that they were dangerous, why did he have to take them with him? In this way, wouldn't he put himself in danger?" Wang Lou asked the queen when he saw them. , Had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak out the doubts in my heart.

"Yes, he was telling someone blatantly that this matter was what he called Li Hong and it had nothing to do with the palace. He didn't want to put the palace in danger because he and his majesty were not in Chang'an. "Wu Mei smiled bitterly and shook her head.

This Li Hong's action is to tell Li Xian blatantly that I killed your person. If you have the ability, come at me. It has nothing to do with the queen.

However, Wu Mei can also imagine that the seven undead may now have only two paths left to go. Either they were accidentally drowned on the waterway to Youzhou, or they died in battle. Liaodong is on the battlefield.

The waterway from Luoyang to Youzhou has been the battle route for the Eastern Expedition of Liaodong during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After all, compared to the 6th March, the cost of the waterway is much cheaper, and it goes all the way down the Yongji Canal. Can go directly to Youzhou.

Youzhou is located between the Taihang Mountains and the Yanshan Mountains. It has always been an important town in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The gap between the two mountains is the shortest natural channel for communication between the Central Plains agricultural civilization and nomads.

Similarly, the two mountains are also the natural dividing line between the Central Plains farming civilization and the nomads.

The boundary between agriculture and animal husbandry in the Yanshan Mountains, strictly speaking, is through the northern mountain range outside the Taihang Mountains. It starts from the northeast of the Tibet Plateau and continues to the Shanhaiguan to the east. The kilometer stretch of mountains completely separates the nomads from the farming civilization of the Central Plains.

It can also be seen from this that the undulating Great Wall built on the Yanshan Mountains is important for the Central Plains to resist nomads.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Youzhou was a military center, guarding the unimpeded entry of the nomads into the Central Plains. It was also extremely important to the Tang Dynasty. In the future history, Youzhou is equally important.

Whether it was in the former Sui Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, the army conquered the Liaodong area and so on, it was from here that the real gathering of troops began.

It’s just that as the wheels of history roll, Li Dan’s third son, Li Zhi’s grandson, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, later appoints the Hu-Han mixed race Anlu Mountain to guard Youzhou and encounters Anlu Mountain’s Rebellious.

An Lushan, as the Jiedu ambassador of Fanyang, Pinglu, and Hedong, holds a large number of elite cavalry, together with the troops of Wei and Mohe, so it opened the prelude to the Tang turmoil, also because of the Anshi chaos Because of this, Datang has since entered the separatist regime of the vassal, and has never restored the glory of Taizong, Gaozong, and the first half of Xuanzong.

From a historical point of view, if the Anshi Rebellion was a wake-up call for the Han people to warn Datang about the importance of Youzhou to the Central Plains, then this alarm bell did not ring forever, and it did not arouse people’s attention to Youzhou. Pay attention.

As he entered the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Shi Jingtan, who claimed to be the emperor in front of the Khitan, handed out the Sixteenth State of Yanyun and the Khitan. As a result, the Song Dynasty had to start, more than two hundred Years of servile national destiny.

The move by Shi Jingtang became the most serious mistake in the history of the Chinese nation's frontiers. The emperor who wanted to come to the Song Dynasty understood the "benefits" he gained when he left his door to others to take care of.

After leaving Chang'an and arriving in Luoyang, Li Hong only took a rest in the evening, and the next day was light, so he took a boat to the east and took three thousand soldiers to Youzhou.

Lou Shide looked at Fan Ying in the distance, and he was greatly relieved. Then he ordered someone to draft documents and send them to the three provinces of Chang'an, Dali Temple and Yushitai.

Youzhou and Fanyang existed in the two place names, and Fanyang today is also equivalent to Youzhou. All jurisdictions only change with the changes of the times, and the names change back and forth.

The reason why Fan Yang Lu was able to become a wealthy family, one of the five surnames and seven families, is not unrelated to living in Youzhou and living in a dangerous place.

Four days later, Fan Yang governor Lu Zhaolin led a hundred officials to greet His Royal Highness Li Hong next to Yongji Canal, and all the marching equipment, food and grass, etc., which His Royal Highness explained, had already been prepared.

After a few days of rushing march, Li Hong was not surprised, but the most surprised was Lu Zhaolin and others. The three thousand soldiers who were not in armor behind His Royal Highness did not even have a pale face and a tired look!

This surprised them. It stands to reason that even in a waterway like Yongjiqu, as Guanzhong people, how could they not experience seasickness?

But the fact is that they were beyond their expectations. These people disembarked and changed horses. Everyone's footsteps were firm and strong, and there was no stumbling or stumbling.

The army rested for a whole night again, and on the second day it began to rush to Yuguan (Shanhaiguan) non-stop. Yuguan was built in the third year of Emperor Kaihuang in the former Sui Dynasty. The purpose of this is naturally no need to say more. Beware of the nomadic people outside the pass staring at the Central Plains.

In the 19th year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty conquered Korea. At the beginning, he assembled troops from Youzhou and went from Yuguan to Liaodong. As the only throat artisan, this road is definitely the most important military in the Tang Dynasty. Important town.

After leaving Yuguan, Li Hong began to order the three thousand soldiers behind him to wear armor. The road rammed with black soil on the road was fairly smooth, and it was smooth enough for the relatively fine grain and grass.

Li Hong, who originally wanted to mobilize grain and grass from the Protector House in the Clouds, was forced to start transporting grain and grass from Liyang Cang because of a decree from his father dragon halfway. The entire three thousand soldiers and horses were transported well enough. The grain and grass used by tens of thousands of people also suddenly slowed down the march.

In seven days, Li Hong still followed the march plan, leaving two thousand people to **** the grain and grass, and he was the first to lead a thousand people to Songmo Dudu Mansion. When he arrived at Songmo Dudu Mansion, he was already close. The front line that Li Hong understood.

But what he didn’t expect was that Daddy Long’s martial arts was not practiced in vain. He did not expect that Daddy Long, with Songmo Dudu Mansion as his back, had actually won Bai Yan in one fell swoop in just two months or so. There were more than ten cities such as Pesha, Maigu, Yinshan, and Houhuang. Not only did they take down these cities, they also moved their people to Songmo Dudu Mansion, Juyan Dudu Mansion, and Xiang Dudu Mansion.

But it seems to be destined in the dark. After inquiring about the governor of Songmo, I learned that Daddy Long has been attacking Anshi City for the past twenty days, but he has encountered Goguryeo’s Stubbornly resisted, for more than 20 days, more than 200,000 troops have been assembled, but it has been unable to win.

The topographic map of the Liaodong area has long been engraved in Li Hong's mind. Together with the research on the road during this period of time, he is very puzzled. With explosives, this unfavorable treasure, how can he take an Anshi city? No discount?

Although Anshi city is the only way to enter the Korean peninsula, there are three cities behind Nansu, Mudi, and Cangyan as their backing, but using explosives in hand, it took more than 20 days In~IndoMTL.com~ It should be razed to the ground by bombing.

The governor of Songmo Dudu Mansion walked in from the outside quickly, and the people did not hear first: "Brother Chen Li Ku, see His Royal Highness."

Li Hong turned his head and didn't see the figure. Before he could speak, he saw someone trotting in hastily.

Interestingly, did he learn from him or did he learn from himself? No matter how you like it, people will salute first before they see it.

The governor of Songmo Dudu Mansion was appointed and established by the Dahe Clan, the largest tribe of Khitan in the Tang Dynasty. To put it bluntly, the place where they are now is the land of the Khitan.

Li Ku, formerly known as Chang Ku, was changed to Li Ku after he was given his surname by Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty. Now he is the governor of Songmo Dudu Mansion, but with Li Hong's reform of the six departments, and the Tang Dynasty's reference to the official system of the four towns in Anxi over the years.

Since then began to use Tang officials as the establishment of the Dudu Mansion. The Dudu, the post held by Khitan and other tribes, has become more and more like an honorary post, but it seems that people still attach great importance to it. It's very dripping.
