In the Battle of Nanzhao, Yang Guozhong deceived his superiors and concealed his subordinates, improperly hired people, and blindly commanded, causing heavy losses to the three roads in Jiannan, Shannan and Henan, and the people were living in poverty. The potential of the three roads that were originally rich in the Tang Dynasty was higher than that of the Tang Dynasty.

However, there are eighteen Taoist Taos in the Tang Dynasty, and after all, there are fifteen other Taos.

Among them, the Longyou Road is supported by other wealthy places such as Chang'an and Jiangnan, and the army is still powerful and shows the power of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Longyou Road was the front line of the Tang Dynasty's struggle against the Tubo Kingdom.

Compared with the war between Jiannan Road and Nanzhao Kingdom like a "farce", Longyou Road, under the command of Geshuhan, truly achieved great victory against Tubo Kingdom.

When the Tang Dynasty was founded, it was constantly in conflict with the Tubo Kingdom. Later, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin defeated the Tubo army, Songtsen Gampo submitted to the Tang Dynasty, and then the Tang Dynasty married Princess Wencheng to Tibet. Then the Tang Dynasty and Tubo entered a peace era without war for more than 20 years.

However, more than ten years after Emperor Taizong Li Shimin and Songtsen Gampo died, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, the Tubo Kingdom clashed again with the Tang Dynasty, and since then, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo battled for decades.

The two countries competed for hegemony around Qinghai, Western Regions, Longyou and other places.

In the seventh year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang appointed Geshuhan as the governor of Longyou of the Tang Dynasty, and then the Tang Dynasty began a period of active attack on Tubo.

As one of the four famous generals of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Geshuhan was ranked alongside Gao Xianzhi, An Lushan, and Feng Changqing, and was extremely capable of commanding troops.

After becoming the governor of Longyou, Geshuhan first established Shenwei City on the northeast side of Qinghai Lake. After being captured by Tubo, Geshuhan established Yinglong City on Longju Island, and repelled the attack of the Tubo army. He also recovered the previously established Shenwei City and firmly controlled the Qinghai Lake side.

With Yinglong City and Shenwei City as the backing point, in the eighth year of Tianbao, Geshuhan led 63,000 troops to attack Shibao City on the southeast side of Qinghai Lake. After eight days of attack, nearly half of them were killed or injured. Geshuhan took Shibao City in one fell swoop. In an instant, the entire Qinghai Lake was under the control of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty soldiers pointed directly at the hinterland of Tubo.

Tubo was shocked. In the same year, Tubo gathered tens of thousands of troops to retake Shibao City.

However, Shibao City is a strong city, and it was taken down by tens of thousands of casualties in the Tang Dynasty. Now Geshuhan and tens of thousands of Tang troops are in charge. Although the Tubo army has tens of thousands, it can only be a hard battle.

In the end, Tubo not only failed to recapture Shibao City, but was defeated by Geshuhan, and tens of thousands of troops were almost wiped out.

After defeating the Tubo army in Shibao City, Geshuhan took advantage of the victory to cross the Hongji and the desert, and captured the important nine-curve land.

After being attacked by the Tang army led by Geshuhan, Tubo not only lost Qinghai, but also lost the same important Nine-Curve Land. It was impossible to be willing to do so.

After more than three years of silence, after the vitality was restored, at the beginning of the 12th year of Tianbao, the Tubo Kingdom once again assembled 200,000 troops from Geshuhan to fight in Qinghai and the land of Jiuqu.

This battle started from the beginning of the 12th year of Tianbao to the 14th year of Tianbao.

The vast Gobi Desert twenty miles west of Qinghai Lake, under the command of Geshuhan, the decisive battle between the Tang army and the Tubo army finally came to an end.

"kill!"

Geshuhan ordered the Tang army to attack in front.

The Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, Modao Army and others defeated the Tubo Army's army and killed the entire Tubo Army to begin to be defeated.

"Boom--" The Tang Dynasty cavalry chased the fleeing Tubo soldiers, and kept slashing the Tubo soldiers who were chasing them.

The soldiers of the Modao Army also ran and chased with the Modao. Some Tubo soldiers who were chased were chopped into two by the Modao, and their deaths were extremely miserable!

The entire huge Gobi Desert was filled with the bodies of Tubo soldiers.

In a disastrous defeat, Tubo soldiers fled to the depths of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Geshuhan led the Tang army to pursue more than 100 miles, and then stopped to go deeper at a snow-capped mountain pass.

During this battle, Tubo increased his troops several times, dispatching nearly 300,000 troops. The Tang Dynasty also increased its troops several times, dispatching more than 130,000 troops.

After a crushing defeat in one battle, the Tubo State lost more than 200,000 soldiers, which once again damaged its vitality.

Although the Tang Dynasty was a winner, it was not much better to kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 by themselves. The total number of casualties reached nearly 80,000.

However, no matter what, the losses of the Tubo Kingdom far exceeded those of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, as the winner, the Tang Dynasty completely controlled the two major places of Qinghai Lake and the Jiuqu Land, which was a great victory worthy of excitement.

At least Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was very excited.

There was a "big victory" against Nanzhao Kingdom. At this moment, Geshuhan commanded Longyou and defeated the Tubo Kingdom and killed more than 200,000 Tubo troops. This is a manifestation of the great power of the Tang army.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang undoubtedly became more excited than this. In the 14th year of Tianbao, it was like the last scorching sun in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. In the Western Regions, after the defeat of Gaoxianzhitalas to the Arab Empire, the vitality of the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty was greatly damaged.

However, the Anxi Protectorate is just a Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, and the entire Tang Dynasty is supported by the Anxi Protectorate.

With Feng Changqing succeeding Gao Xianzhi as the governor of the four towns of Anxi, the Tang Dynasty also successively recruited troops to supplement the quota of 24,000 troops in the four towns.

Although the rest of the past were all new recruits, there were only a few thousand veterans left, and their combat effectiveness was not slow to recover. In addition, Feng Changqing was also a very talented general. Under his command, the Anxi Protectorate was no weaker than Gao Xianzhi's period.

When Gao Xianzhitalas was defeated in the battle, the Tang Dynasty lost all over Central Asia, including the Kingdom of Tochar, and its power in the Western Regions was greatly reduced.

In order to restore the Tang Dynasty's reputation in the Western Regions, Feng Changqing took them to the expedition after training the new soldiers.

In order to support Geshuhan's battle against Tubo in Longyou, Feng Changqing turned his attention to Dabolu, one of the hard-core vassal states of Tubo.

Feng Changqing only brought more than 10,000 Tang troops in just a few days, and then he won four battles and four victories to the capital of Bodhisattva Lao. Then he defeated Daboli reinforcements under Bodhisattva Lao City, and captured Bodhisattva Lao City, and pointed directly at Daboli's capital.

King Dabolu was so scared that he was frightened and had no hope of seeking help from Tubo. He surrendered to Feng Changqing.

After the Battle of Dabolu Kingdom, Feng Changqing aimed at the Geluo tribe again.

It was because of Gelu's betrayal that the Tangfan coalition under Gao Xianzhi was defeated by the Arab Empire in Talas because of Gelu's betrayal. No matter what, he had to teach Gelu a lesson.

Feng Changqing led the four towns of Anxi and almost all out, and entered the Grassland of Geluo Lu, and killed more than 30,000 cavalrymen of Geluo Lu to be defeated. Unfortunately, the number of iron cavalry in the Tang Dynasty was limited, and the Modao Soldiers were not suitable for chasing cavalry on the grassland. Therefore, after Feng Changqing's victory, he did not go deep into the Grassland. Looking at the Grassland, Feng Changqing had no choice but to return to the army.

However, in the battles between Dabolu and Gelu, Feng Changqing once again made the reputation of the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty. After that, even during the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty transferred most of the Anxi Army, and no one in the Western Regions dared to cause trouble.

In addition to the "big victory" that was joked against the Nanzhao Kingdom, Longyou and the Western Regions were real victories.

Before An Lushan actually raised the flag to rebel, the army under An Lushan was also the Tang Dynasty army. No matter what the Tang Dynasty was inside, at this moment, the Tang Dynasty's military power was prosperous around the Tang Dynasty.

The Xi tribe and the Khitan tribe were conquered. In Longyou, the Tubo Kingdom was defeated in a battle, with more than 200,000 soldiers killed and injured. The Western Regions Fengqing destroyed the Dabolu Kingdom and defeated the Gelulu cavalry to revive the Tang Dynasty's prestige in the Western Regions. Even the Andong Protectorate had Li Fei defeated the Bohai Kingdom's army and approached the Bohai Kingdom's capital, forcing the Bohai Kingdom to surrender and become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

All of these achievements, except for the Nanzhao Kingdom, are like representatives of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

With the arrival of the Western Regions, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was extremely excited. He convened Changqing and Geshuhan to commend him in the court. He also conferred Geshuhan as the Prince of Xiping, and Changqing was also granted the title of Censor.

With excitement, the haze that was accumulated in Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was dissipated because An Lushan could not be summoned repeatedly and became bolder again.

He felt that the Tang Dynasty was so prosperous that as long as An Lushan was not a fool, he would not dare to have ambitions to betray the Tang Dynasty or betray him.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was very firm in his heart. He confidently waited for An Lushan to return to Chang'an City to meet him this time.
