Chapter 432 Volume 4 Chang’an Court’s Reaction!
The battle between the Ming Dynasty and Tuyuhun finally came to an end with Murong Fuyun's suicide.
Of course, this does not mean that the war is really over.
Although Murong Fuyun was defeated, including him, Dayan Mangjiebo and King Dingcheng who were in Shuihe City, they were all dead, but the subsequent small-scale battles would continue.
Moreover, with the defeat of Murong Fuyun, a large number of careerists will inevitably emerge from the leaderless Tuyuhun.
They will continue to deal with Li Chengqian under the banner of restoration.
Everyone, including Li Chengqian, knows this.
This is inevitable and no one can change it.
Because this is human desire.
Moreover, every careerist who takes advantage of the situation will feel that he is the chosen one who can save Tuyuhun. It will not be until every careerist follows the path of Murong Fuyun that Tuyuhun will finally calm down.
But in the process of calming down, many people will inevitably die, and even Tyuhun will be brought down.
No one can change this.
And this was also the reason why Li Chengqian ordered Qibi Heli to send troops northward. He wanted to capture Tuyuhun as soon as possible, but he would inevitably have to go through a lot of fighting.
This is war, and this is the essence of war.
War has always been like this.
Similarly, neither the Pohe Army nor the Xixi Army wanted the war to stop.
This is also the reason why Murong Fuyun died.
Because, too many people hope that the war will not end prematurely.
Everyone has his own demands, or in other words, everyone has his own purpose.
Many times, it does not mean that one person can decide everything. Most of the time, everyone has to learn to compromise.
Especially for people like Li Chengqian who want something, no one can be an exception.
But all this is no longer important to Li Chengqian.
This battle was won, and he became the one with the last laugh. This is a fact.
It was not until this moment that Li Chengqian truly breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter how calm he acted before, no one knew how much pressure he was under.
He knew very well that if this battle went slightly wrong, the Ming Dynasty that he had created would become a flash in the pan, flourishing brilliantly, and failing miserably. Fortunately, he had the last laugh in the end.
In the final analysis, this battle is all about the details, the overall grasp, and the manipulation of people's hearts and minds.
If there is an accident in any battlefield, the entire battle situation will undergo earth-shaking changes.
"Your Highness, Minister Wang wants to see you." Just when Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief, Liu San opened the door curtain and walked in.
Li Chengqian raised his head, smiled, and said, "Bring him in. Speaking of which, you guys deserve the most credit for this battle!"
"Your Highness, I'm glad you have lived up to your command!" Wang Xuance saluted hurriedly as soon as he entered Li Chengqian's tent. As he spoke, his eyes towards Li Chengqian were full of excitement.
Everyone thought that this mission to the countries in the Western Regions was his credit, but only he knew that all of this was planned by Li Chengqian.
On the way back, he kept thinking about why Li Chengqian could always solve this seemingly unsolvable problem. After thinking for a long time, he seemed to have found an answer, but it was vague.
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Chengqian came out from behind the desk, patted Wang Xuance on the shoulder and said, "You have made great achievements this time. If it weren't for you, this battle would not have ended so easily."
This is the truth. What really overwhelmed Murong Fuyun was the Western Region Allied Forces, the last straw.
"I don't dare to take credit, if it weren't for the palace..."
"Okay." Before he could finish speaking, Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "You have to have the ability. If you don't have this ability, even if I have the best method, I won't be able to do it.
By the way, can Ashina Nishuo make arrangements over there?"
"Go back to Your Highness, Wei Chen is here to report this matter." Wang Xuance said hurriedly.
"Huh?" Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows, "There was an accident?"
"It's not an accident." Wang Xuance said, taking a few steps forward and whispering a few words in Li Chengqian's ear...
After hearing what he said, Li Chengqian nodded, then shook his head: "This Ashina Nishu is quite interesting, okay, let's take a look."
"Also." Wang Xuance added, "The allied generals from the countries in the Western Regions want to see His Highness."
"That's it." Li Chengqian thought for a moment and said, "The war is over, and it's time to reward the army. Let's have Gao Chunxing arrange it tonight and prepare a banquet. At that time, he will also send a message to the representatives of the countries in the Western Regions.
"
While Li Chengqian was celebrating his victory with singing and dancing, news spread that the Ming court had defeated Tuyuhun.
It's okay for the countries in the Western Regions, they have already expected it.
Countries such as Tubo and Xueyantuo were each more shocked than the other.
Especially in Tubo, when Songtsen Gampo heard the news, he immediately stopped fighting with Subi and even sent envoys to negotiate peace with Subi.
Of course, the most shocking thing was Datang.
When this news reached Datang, no one was not shocked.
Especially King Qiuci, who was attacking Hezhou, was stunned when he heard the news.
That night, he led the army back to Qingshui River.
It also made the Taoyuan defenders who were assisting the defense in Hezhou mistakenly think that this guy had some tricks up his sleeve. Who knew that what was waiting for him was not King Qiuci's trick, but the victory of the Ming Dynasty's royal court's defeat of Tuyuhun.
At that moment, everyone was stunned.
They couldn't believe that Li Chengqian actually completed the feat of snake swallowing an elephant in a short period of time...
Immediately, the news was sent back to Chang'an.
The seventh year of Zhenguan, the end of April.
Li Er had nothing to do, so he visited Changsun's workshop at the invitation of Changsun Wuji.
Everyone knows Li Er's attitude towards craftsmen recently, but not many people really like him, and Changsun Wuji is the most obvious one.
Of course, this does not mean that others are unwilling to do this. In fact, in the entire Tang Dynasty, apart from the imperial court, the Changsun family had the largest ironware business.
Although salt and iron were a monopoly in ancient times, in the early Tang Dynasty, in order to save the business of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er still allowed private transactions in salt and iron.
After walking around, Li Er said with a smile: "Your workshop is really well done, you took the trouble to do it."
With that said, Li Er patted Changsun Wuji on the shoulder.
He knew why Changsun Wuji invested so much in the workshop, and he was still very pleased at the moment.
If we want to achieve industrial reforms, it is not enough to rely solely on the Ministry of Industry.
If the necessity of reform cannot be realized from top to bottom, then his reform will fail.
"Your Majesty is joking. As ministers, it is our duty as ministers to share your worries with you." Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "By the way, Your Majesty, our workshop has recently researched..."
As soon as he said this, he heard bursts of noise coming from outside.
"What happened?" Li Er asked.
Changsun Wuji hated it, but he had no choice but to ask someone to inquire about it.
After a while, the servant of the Changsun family hurried back and said: "Your Majesty, I am so happy. His Highness the Crown Prince defeated Murong Fuyun. Murong Fuyun was shot off his horse by an arrow from His Highness..."
Not to mention how exaggerated this news was, but when they heard that Li Chengqian defeated Murong Fuyun, both Li Er and Changsun Wuji were stunned.
Is this a win?
Is it possible?
Are you sure you're not kidding us?
"How dare you use hearsay to deceive Your Majesty, damn it!" Changsun Wuji immediately shouted angrily, "How do I teach you on weekdays!"
He was also afraid that this was no small matter, even if he was just a handyman in his house, he was still a member of his house.
In other words, he doesn't believe it either.
It was a stroke of luck that Li Chengqian could stop Tuyuhun. He defeated Murong Fuyun. What are you doing? What did Li Chengqian use to defeat Murong Fuyun?
He indeed has superior weapons, but is it that simple to rely on his few troops to resist Murong Fuyun's army of hundreds of thousands?
Moreover, there were also the Western Turks and other countries in the Western Regions who were eyeing him. They really didn't understand what chance Li Chengqian had to win.
Even Li Er didn't believe it.
There is no way, there is really no hope of winning in Li Chengqian's situation.
"The little one deserves to die, the little one deserves to die." Hearing what Changsun Wuji said, the servant was also startled and immediately knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling.
Li Er didn't react at all, but said in a calm tone: "No need to embarrass him, it's getting late, I have to go back to the palace."
Li Er has always been tolerant of these servants, especially servants of other people's families.
But the news just now really shocked him.
He also wanted to go back and find out.
To be continued...
