In the early years of Zhenguan, King Yiwu came to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, so the Tang government established Yizhou in the Yiwu area.
Also in the early years of Zhenguan, King Qu Wentai of Gaochang also came to Chang'an City to meet with Li Shimin and contributed gifts.
However, Gaochang Kingdom was not directly incorporated like Yiwu Kingdom.
This is probably because Gaochang State at that time was much stronger than Yiwu in terms of military strength and political and cultural influence.
Now, in the early spring of the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, Qu Wentai's son Qu Zhisheng came to Chang'an City again, saying that he wanted to offer treasures and move reinforcements.
Today is different from the past.
Qu Zhisheng did not receive the courtesy from the Central Plains court like his father did back then.
Once he arrived in Chang'an City, he was left alone for many days.
It was difficult to wait for an official who was willing to talk to him.
As soon as the other party opened his mouth, he Asked him: "The sage intends to establish Xizhou and Tingzhou in Gaochang.
I don't know what Gaochang wants."
When Qu Zhisheng heard this, all the hairs on his body stood up.
The Tang Army wanted to attack Gaochang State, and there had been a lot of movement in Chang'an City recently.
The informants arranged by Gaochang State here had also come to report to him in the past few days.
The more Qu Zhisheng knew, the more unsettled he became.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City At this time, I suddenly heard someone mention Xizhou Tingzhou again, and for a moment I felt as if I had been struck by lightning.
"In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty destroyed Gaochang and established Xizhou and Tingzhou."
He remembered the contents of that note very clearly.
Now he heard the names of these two states from the minister's mouth, which could only mean one thing, that is, Li Shimin had already thought about it before sending troops.
With these two names, Tang Dynasty should have already made up its mind to destroy Gaochang.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City Qu Zhisheng was almost in tears at this time.
Buddha protected him and saved him from death in Gaochang Kingdom.
"You don't want to."
Seeing Qu Zhisheng's sad expression, the minister thought he was unwilling.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City "There is no reluctance."
Qu Zhisheng said: "Everything depends on the arrangement of the saint."
The minister received this reply and left with satisfaction.
After Li Shimin learned about this, he was also satisfied.
Then he agreed to meet Qu Zhisheng, accepted the national treasure offered by him in person, and hosted a banquet in honor of him.
Everything that needed to be discussed was settled, and the only thing left was to fight.
Li Shimin originally planned to ask Hou Junji to lead the army to fight the Turks.
The generals would not be replaced, but there was no need to bring all the soldiers.
After all, Gaochang State also had so many troops. , the two countries joined forces to fight the Turks, which was somewhat different from the previous situation.
Unexpectedly, Hou Junji actually got angry at this time, saying that Gaochang State is not a good thing.
It's okay if the saint doesn't let me fight them.
He also asked me to save them.
I won't do it anyway.
Whoever wants to do it?
Go ahead When Li Shimin heard this, it was okay if you didn't go.
With your wandering temperament, I wouldn't trust you if you went, so he ordered Li Daozong, who had a more stable personality, to lead troops to fight against the Turks.
In fact, Li Daozong didn't want to go.
He had no objection to leading troops to fight, but asking him to take care of the lack of Hou Junji was what the hell.
But the emperor had already spoken, so he had to go even if he didn't want to.
Although he and Li Shimin were In fact, the two clansmen were not close, nor were they similar to Hou Junji.
They could play tricks on Li Shimin in person, so they had no choice but to accept the job.

When it comes to leading troops in battles, Li Daozong is much stronger than Hou Junji.
In addition, he has a clan status and is the founding hero of the Li Tang Dynasty.
Sending him to Gaochang this time can be regarded as showing the Central Plains Dynasty's commitment to this matter.
The attention paid to the war also gave face to the King of Gaochang who had just surrendered.
Nowadays, there are many powerful generals in this court, but in terms of talents who can really lead an army, apart from the elderly Li Jing, the next ones are Xu Shiji and Li Daozong.
Xu Shiji was born in Wagang Village, he was easy to lead troops in battles, and he was also very smart.
After he defected to Tang Dynasty from Nawa Gang Village, he became very popular with Li Yuan, and later he was under Li Shimin, and later he was under Li Yuan.
He got along well under everyone's hands, including Wu Zetian's and Wu Zetian's.
He neither groveled and lost his dignity nor suffered much loss.
Li Daozong's situation was different from that of Xu Shiji.
He and Li Xiaogong were the two most highly regarded by outsiders among their clan members.
They could lead troops in wars, were founding heroes, and had high official positions.
However, it is said that Li Daozong was once punched in the face by Yuchi Jingde because he acted as a peacemaker.
It was one thing that Yuchi Jingde had a hot temper, but no matter how hot-tempered he was, would he dare to hit Li Shimin, would he dare to hit Li Jing, or would he?
Dare to hit Xu Shiji?
In the final analysis, Li Daozong's status in the court is not high enough.
Later, before Li Shimin passed away, he asked Changsun Wuji to assist his youngest son Li Zhi.
Changsun Wuji's power was at its peak.
It is said that Li Daozong had some feud with Changsun Wuji.
Later, Li Daozong was framed by Changsun Wuji and was suddenly implicated in a rebellion case and died unjustly.
In the society at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Li Daozong's reputation was still very good, which was much better than that of Hou Junji.
Luo Yong, who was far away in the Hexi Corridor, couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard that the general leading the army had been replaced this time.
Hou Junji could not come and was replaced by Li Daozong.
Many people in later generations may have never heard of Li Daozong, and Luo Yong didn't know him originally.
However, Li Daozong had a daughter, who is familiar to us.
She was Princess Wencheng who was married to Tibet.
During the years when Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo were married, the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo could be said to be very good. , it’s a pity that Songtsen Gampo died young later.
Luo held a copper stick in his hand and pulled at the wick, thinking about things there.
Ever since he heard the news that the imperial court was not going to attack Gaochang and was going to fight the Turks instead, and that Hou Junji was not coming and that Li Daozong was coming instead, the tight string in his head slowly relaxed. down.
It was said earlier that Hou Junji was coming, and Luo Yong was really a little scared.
For such a person, there was no reliable boss around him, and he had heavy troops.
When they passed by Changle County, he really didn't know What kind of trouble will it cause?
Now it is said that Li Daozong is going to lead troops to fight against the Turks, so just fight.
Regardless, the Turks and the Central Plains Dynasty were originally fighting to the death.
"Why are you still awake?"
Qiao Junlin came back from the wine shop and saw Luo Yong staring at an oil lamp in a daze.
When having dinner just now, Luo Yong said that he wanted to go to bed early today, but it turned out that more than two hours had passed, and this man had not yet fallen asleep.
"I'm hungry and can't sleep."
Luo Yong smiled at him and said, "Should we eat dragon whiskers or buns tonight?"
Qiao Junlin smiled and said: "Dragon beard."
This dragon whisker is dragon whisker noodles.
In Luo Erniang's cashmere workshop, the skillful woman was asked to make a lot of them.
She used the finest white flour to make snow-white filament noodles.
There are always people in the cashmere workshop.
On birthdays, the kitchen would cook a bowl of dragon beard noodles for them.

This noodle dish was made for Erniang and the others when she was in Xipo Village.
Although it was not very fine, Erniang still thought of it often when she was in Liangzhou City, so she also started to make it for the noodles in the workshop.
The women make noodles and eat them.
With his sister staying in Changle County, Luo Yong is not short of food.
Whatever is available at the cashmere workshop, Luo Yong is indispensable.
Especially since Luo Yong has been working so hard lately, he looks thinner and thinner.
Er Niang often wants to get some delicious food to supplement him.
Regarding this Dragon Beard Noodle, people in this area of Hexi originally ate Dragon Beard Noodle, but I don’t know where it came from.
In this era, white noodles are inherently expensive, and such fine noodles are even more rare.
I heard that they were also put in wooden boxes and given as gifts.
Luo Yong was more luxurious.
Every night when he was hungry, he would grab some from the basket and cook them. eat.
It is now the end of the second lunar month, and the Central Plains region is already spring green everywhere.
However, here in Changle County, it is still a harsh winter scene.
There is loess and Gobi everywhere, and there is no greenery at all.
The weather is still very cold, especially At night, the temperature is even lower.
Luo Yong and his family burned a kang every night in their house, with a pottery urn placed on top of the kang.
Hot water was boiled in the pottery urn, which at least added some humidity to the house.
They agreed to eat dragon whiskers, so one of them went to get the noodles and the other to bring the seasonings.
They had all these things in the house.
They often cooked late-night snacks in the house, so they had them all prepared.
Luo Yong took out a small iron pot from the cabinet, scooped out a ladle of hot water and rinsed it, poured in water to heat the iron pot, first put a spoonful of meat oil into the pot, then put in a few garlic and onions, and waited until it smelled.
When it gets fragrant, add soy sauce, salt, and a few drops of sugarcane syrup.
When the seasoning was cooked on his side, Qiao Junlin also cooked the noodles on his side.
He took the dragon beard noodles out of the pottery vat and put them in the sauce he had just cooked.
Everyone shared a large bowl.
Luo Yong liked to mix it with a little rice vinegar, but Qiao Junlin didn't like to add vinegar.
The noodle soup was also good, but both of them only drank a little.
If they drank too much, they were afraid they would wake up at night.
The New Year was celebrated some time ago.
Luo Yong and Qiao Junlin were both twenty-one years old this year.
In future generations, they would be at the age when they were studying in college, and it was also the time when they could eat.
With noodles like this, the two of them could eat a pound of dry noodles in one meal.
Luo Erniang came here a few days ago and saw that there was only one bottom left in the basket of dragon beard noodles she had brought over.
So he smiled and brought another basket with them the next day.
The basket after basket of dragon beard noodles made the county chief secretary and others who lived in the same county office very envious.
