Chapter 362: Two hundred battles between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet!
Tianmu continued to narrate.

[Several of these powerful powers would be a major concern for the Central Plains Dynasty in any other dynasty! ]

[For example, the Goguryeo regime located in the Liaodong Peninsula in the northeast and the Korean Peninsula. ]

[At its peak, it had 20 mercenaries and had been a nation for 700 years, so it had a rich heritage. ]

【Relying on the geographical advantage, they were strong and stubborn, and could withstand the millions of troops of the Sui Dynasty. 】

[As a result, Goguryeo was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop. ]

[For example, the Turkic people, the overlord of the grasslands, stretching from Khitan in the east to Gaochang in the west, spanning the entire northern desert grassland! ]

[At its peak, it controlled millions of strings, extremely powerful! 】

[It was rated as: The prosperity of the Rong and Di tribes is unprecedented in history. ]

[As a result, both the Eastern and Western Turks were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty.]

[Even the Khan of the Turks, once the overlord of the grassland, once defeated Jie Li Khan outside the city of Chang'an. ]

[He was also defeated, his country was destroyed, and he was captured alive and sent to Chang'an to be a dancer. ]

[The strength of the Tang Dynasty is inseparable from the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers it maintains. 】

[But we must admit that the reason why the Tang Dynasty could afford so many elite soldiers and horses. ]

[To a large extent, it was because it happened to be a warm period at that time, which made the grain production of the entire Tang Dynasty reach an unprecedented height. ]

[This is an advantage for Datang.]

[But at the same time, it is also an advantage over the Tang Dynasty's mortal enemy, Tubo.]

[Originally, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was not suitable for the formation of a powerful classical empire due to its harsh environment.]

[However, during the Tang Dynasty, due to the warm climate, an unprecedented snow-covered empire, Tubo, rose up with the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau as its core! ]

[The Tibetan Empire fought more than 190 battles with the Tang Dynasty.]

[The rise and fall of its country was almost synchronized with that of the Tang Dynasty. 】

【You should know that Tubo fought nearly 200 wars with other countries. 】

[They fought nearly 200 battles with the Tang Dynasty! This is extremely valuable, it is simply terrifying. ]

[How to describe the power of Tubo? ]

[It can be described like this: Tubo fought with the Tang Dynasty for 200 years. ]

【Especially the Battle of Dafeichuan. 】

[The 40-strong Tibetan army annihilated the 10 elite Tang troops, inflicting the most devastating defeat the Tang had ever experienced since its founding.]

[Afterwards, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty fought and made peace in a long war.]

[The two sides fought repeatedly for the Western Region.]

[The four towns of Anxi changed hands repeatedly.]

[During this period, Tubo fought bloody battles with the Tang Dynasty to the east and competed with the Arab Empire to the west.]

[To the north, they would easily control the Western Regions, and to the south, they would march straight to the Ganges River Basin. ]

【It is an absolute world-class superpower. 】

[During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Tubo was at a disadvantage in the wars with the Tang Dynasty and suffered repeated defeats.]

[Finally he humbly begged for peace and called himself the nephew of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.]

【Later, Tubo broke the alliance again and went to war with the Tang Dynasty.】

【But they were defeated by the Tang Dynasty again. 】

[In 749 AD, the famous general Geshu Han recaptured Shibao City in Qinghai Province, which is now Huangyuan County, Qinghai Province. ]

【After this battle, the Tubo forces completely shrank. 】

[Unable to threaten the Tang Dynasty. ]

[In 753 AD, Feng Changqing led his army into Kashmir, destroyed the Great Bolor Kingdom, and cut off the tentacles extending outward from Tubo.]

【At this time, the Tang Dynasty completely suppressed Tubo. 】

[In the east, north, and west, a three-sided strategic encirclement of Tubo was formed. ]

【After this war, Tubo seemed no longer able to threaten the Tang Dynasty.】

[The long war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, which lasted for hundreds of years, seemed to be coming to an end. ]

At this moment, the sky freezes with the scene of Geshu Han leading the Tang army, shouting in unison and celebrating the victory.

At the same time, a large number of barrages also flew out.

"Roaming around Qinghai at night with a knife, slaughtering Shibao in the west and getting a purple robe!"

"The video is very good. Everyone knows how powerful Tubo is! What does this have to do with the theme of the video?"

"Yes, isn't this video about a hunk who came down from nowhere and conquered 11 states by himself?"

"Don't worry, wait for the An Lushan Rebellion." "An Lushan's birthday party, right?"

"Have you watched the game? The Tang Dynasty is now leading 3:1 in the first half, ready to open champagne to celebrate."

"Although I haven't watched this video, I can probably guess that after the An-Shi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo officially entered the second half. "

《An Lushan: I’m here to fucking do it! 》

……

Outside the canopy,

The ancients also knew that the turning point of the Tang Dynasty was about to come.

Those ancient people who lived after the Tang Dynasty naturally knew about the An-Shi Rebellion.

The ancients before the Tang Dynasty,

Thanks to Tianmu’s several narrations, we also learned about the devastating impact and destructive power of the Anshi Rebellion on the Tang Dynasty.

A rising superpower empire,
He was directly beaten to a disability!

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng looked at the sky and saw the Tang army celebrating their victory.

Looking at the ever-expanding territory of the Tang Dynasty,

Some also said with deep emotion:

"This is probably the final glory, right?"

"I just watched it not long ago. The last transfer of money in Mobei, Tang Dynasty."

“I’m afraid it has something to do with this video.”

"After the An-Shi Rebellion, the elite troops from the Tang border returned to suppress the rebellion."

"And it was exhausted in the repeated battles with the rebels."

"Without elite troops to suppress them, the already subdued Tubo will probably become restless again."

Ying Zheng sighed softly.

Although Ying Zheng did not like these things in later generations, he replaced the Qin Dynasty.

But Ying Zheng also felt regretful for the unfinished hegemony of the Tang Empire in later generations.

And the following narration of Tianmu,
It also fully confirms Ying Zheng's inference.

【The fateful moment has arrived.】

[The An-Shi Rebellion caused the Tang Dynasty to decline from its peak.]

[After the super rebellion that even affected China's national destiny for a thousand years. 】

【This rebellion was at the most glorious and brilliant peak of ancient Chinese culture.】

[This marked a heavy end to the peak of the Tang Dynasty.]

[The Central Plains region within the Tang Dynasty has not known the taste of war for a hundred years. ]

[The Central Imperial Guards are no match for the rebels.]

[We can only mobilize troops from the four borders. ]

[The Tang Dynasty is shrinking across the board. ]

[The imperial court is already half dead, and can’t even maintain its inland base. ]

[Not to mention the remote areas thousands or tens of thousands of miles away. ]

[The frontier areas that had been expanded over the previous hundred years were gradually abandoned.]

【When we look back at this period of history now, we feel full of regret. 】

【But look at it from another angle. 】

【If we look at this incident from the perspective of Tubo. 】

【For them, this is simply a miracle sent by God! 】

[The Tubo people were forced to retreat to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and prepare to live behind closed doors. ]

[I stood up straight at once! 】

[In the second year after the An-Shi Rebellion broke out, Tubo easily wiped out all of the Tang Dynasty's strongholds along the shores of Qinghai Lake.]

[And Tubo knew about the once extremely powerful Tang Dynasty. ]

【It is gone forever.】

[The Tang Dynasty no longer had the power to stop Tubo.]
