Chapter 1000 The Tubo Dynasty and the Turkic Khanate
"System Announcement: The Anshi Rebellion is officially over, Tang Taizong Li Shimin entered Chang'an, and the Chang'an court was automatically replaced by the Tang Dynasty. Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, Yuchi Jingde, Li Jing, Hou Junji, Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji Famous ministers and generals will automatically belong to the Tang Dynasty."
...
As soon as the announcement came out, Ouyang Shuo and other lords were heartbroken. Li Shimin didn't keep any soup.
Among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion who appeared in Chang'an, Ouyang Shuo was not envious of others. He only hoped that Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, would be alone. The Feixiong Army still lacked a commander.
Among China's top ten god generals, apart from Bai Qi, Ouyang Shuo's favorite is the Great Tang military god.
However, Li Jing's appearance in Chang'an can only be considered in the long term.
"System Announcement: The Anshi Rebellion is officially over, Songtsan Gambo has entered Luoxie City, following Zanpu, the Tubo forces are automatically replaced by the Tubo Dynasty, Gar Dongzan Yusong, Shang Jiexi, Shangxi Dongzan, Shangzan Famous officials and generals such as Mo and Dazha Lugong automatically belonged to the Tubo Dynasty."
...
Tubo is a regime established by the ancient Tibetans on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is also the first regime with clear historical records in the history of this region. It lasted for more than two hundred years from Nangri Lunzan to Langdama.
Under the unification of the Tubo Dynasty, various ministries on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau condensed into a powerful force, and gradually stepped out of the closed inland plateau, which brought vitality to the ancient Tibetan society for the first time.
The situation of fragmented and isolated development has been changed. Through the construction of systems, laws, and post stations, the regimes of various small states and tribal alliances have been integrated.
At that time, the Tubo Dynasty and the Tang Empire were still related by marriage. Two Princesses of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng, married into Tubo as a token of friendship.
The two dynasties have not always been friendly neighbors.
In 763 AD, the Anshi Rebellion turned the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and the national power was weak. Due to the need to crusade against the northern rebels, most of the troops in the west of the Tang Dynasty were withdrawn and transferred.
Taking advantage of the situation, Tubo went deep into the interior of the Tang Dynasty. General Dazha Lugong (Ma Chongying in Chinese) assembled a coalition of 200,000 troops to attack the Tang Dynasty and occupied more than a dozen states west of Fengxiang and north of neighboring states in Shaanxi.
In October of that year, he occupied Fengtian and soon reached the city of Chang'an. Daizong was so frightened that he fled to Shanzhou for refuge.
Fifteen days later, under the command of a famous general Guo Ziyi, the Tang army regained Chang'an.
According to historical records, from 705 A.D. to 822 A.D., the Tang Dynasty and Tubo made eight alliances, which shows that the relationship between the two dynasties was quite rough.
The Tubo Dynasty joined the historical process, and the first to bear the brunt was the Daxia Dynasty.
Qiang County in the Shu region borders Tubo, and it is also the only player territory that borders Tubo. Fortunately, Songtsan Gampo is not a very aggressive Zanpu. It remains to be seen what the future holds.
"System Announcement: The Anshi Rebellion is officially over, and Yehu has been ruled into Loulan City. Following the Khan throne, the forces in the Western Regions will automatically be replaced by the Turkic Khanate, which will rule the countries of the Western Regions."
...
The Western Turks were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, and they revived in the wilderness.
Unlike the Tubo Dynasty, the territory of the Western Regions where the Turkic Khanate was located was composed of Wusun, Qiuci, Yanqi, Loulan, Wensu, Gumo, Beilu, Huhu, Shanguo, Cheshiguo, Dawan, Anxi, and Dawan. It is composed of more than 30 small countries such as Yuezhi and Kangju, and its interior is intricate.
The emergence of the Tubo Dynasty and the Turkic Khanate will undoubtedly bring new variables to China, which is gradually facing the confrontation between the North and the South. It remains to be seen what the future pattern of world hegemony will be.
If the Great Xia Dynasty wants to open up the Silk Road, it is bound to deal with these two major forces in the future.
...
Ouyang Shuo didn't have time to think about the Tubo Dynasty and the Turkic Khanate, so he settled Du Fu first.
With Du Fu's ambition, he naturally wanted to become an official in Daxia, but he didn't have much experience in politics, so it was not easy for Ouyang Shuo to put him in an important position to avoid being criticized.
After much deliberation, Ouyang Shuo decided to place Du Fu in the nearest Zhili County as the county magistrate of Yongye. If Du Fu could make some achievements in the county magistrate, he would be promoted as appropriate.
Just as Du Fu settled down, the system announcement sounded.
"System announcement: Du Fu, a representative figure in the poetry world, became an official in Daxia, and he was specially awarded the title of Shanhai City [Sacred Land of Poetry] as a reward. Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi!"
...
The corner of Ouyang Shuo's mouth smiled. Of course, Great Xia does not lack a county magistrate. As a holy historical figure, Du Fu's greater role lies in his influence and appeal in the poetry world.
Presumably, as Du Fu became an official in Daxia, a large number of poets would come here admiringly.
[Holy Land of Poetry]: Increase the dynasty culture index by 25%, and increase the dynasty's attraction to poets by 50%.
As long as there is a world of poetry, there must also be a world of ci, literature, and painting. Ouyang Shuo is looking forward to another essence of Chinese culture that will shine brightly again in Daxia after the other schools of thought.
Back in the imperial study, Ouyang Shuo took out the jade pendant that Li Xiang had given him, and checked the attributes.
[Yu Huangpei]: With this jade pendant, under certain conditions, the story mission of Dayu Jiuding can be triggered. Please explore the specific situation by yourself.
Ouyang Shuo's eyes froze. The jade pendant itself was nothing special, except for the "Da Yu Jiu Ding" mentioned in the attribute description. If Ouyang Shuo's speculation is correct, the Great Yu Jiuding should be one of the secret treasures of the Jin Kingdom.
One of the conditions for being promoted to the imperial dynasty is to possess a secret treasure of the Jin Kingdom. Ouyang Shuo had no idea before, and only at this point did he see the light of day.
"Da Yu Jiuding? I'm sure." Ouyang Shuo's eyes were firm.
*************
For the next few days, the wilderness was peaceful.
Everyone is still silently digesting the impact of the appearance of the three major forces in the wilderness, and the players in Chang'an City are even more enthusiastic, hoping to have a wonderful encounter with the romantic figures of the Tang Dynasty in the streets and alleys.
Poet Immortal Li Bai, Army God Li Jing, Door God Yuchi Jingde, Tiger General Cheng Yaojin...
No matter which one, it is full of topics.
The mysterious Tubo and Western Turks also arouse the interest of adventure players.
For lords, Tubo and Western Turks are a potential threat, but for adventurers, this is an unexplored new map, and a large number of quests and adventures are waiting for them.
Therefore, in the past few days, there has been an endless stream of players teleporting to Chengdu and then going to Tubo.
Taking advantage of this crowd, the secret agents of Shanhaiwei also mingled with the crowd, silently infiltrating the royal city of Tubo and the Turkic Khanate, seeking first-hand information for the dynasty.
No matter what the future holds, it is always right to know yourself and your enemy.
In addition, the most interesting thing for adventurers is the new martial arts school that has joined the wilderness. With the increase of sects appearing in the wilderness, more and more choices are available for adventure players.
In the five years of Gaia, the strength of adventure players will take advantage of this martial arts wind to reach a new level.
Just in the past few days, several historical figures of the Tang Dynasty came to Shanhai City to settle down one after another, either because they had acquaintance with the old people of Daxia, or because they came here purely out of admiration for their fame.
