"System Announcement: The An-Shi Rebellion has officially ended. Tang Taizong, Li Shimin, has entered Chang 'an. The Chang' an court has been automatically replaced by the Tang Dynasty. Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, Yuchi Jingde, Li Jing, Hou Junji, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, and other famous officials and generals have automatically joined the Tang Dynasty."
…
Ouyang Shuo and the other lords were heartbroken when the announcement came out. Li Shimin did not leave any leftovers.
Among the 24 heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion in Chang 'an, Ouyang Shuo was not jealous of the others. He only hoped for the Tang Military God, Li Jing. The Flying Bear Army still lacked a commander.
Other than Bai Qi, Ouyang Shuo loved the Tang Military God the most among the Ten Divine Generals of China.
However, Li Jing had appeared in Chang 'an, so he could only make a long-term plan.
"System Announcement: The An-Shi Rebellion has officially ended. Songtsen Gampo has entered Luoge City and succeeded the throne. The Tubo power has automatically been replaced by the Tubo Dynasty. Gar Dongzan Husong, Shang Jiexi, Shang Xi Dongzan, Shang Zanmo, Dazhalugong Gong and other famous officials and generals have automatically joined the Tubo Dynasty."
…
Tubo was a regime established by the ancient Tibetans on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It was the first regime in the history of the region with clear historical records. It lasted for more than 200 years from Namri Lunzan to Langdama.
Under the unification of the Tubo Dynasty, the tribes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau formed a powerful force. They gradually walked out of the closed inland plateau, which made the ancient Tibetan society flourish for the first time.
The original situation of independent development was changed. Through the construction of systems, laws, and stations, various small states and tribal alliances were integrated.
At that time, the Tubo Dynasty and the Tang Empire were in-laws. Two Tang princesses, Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng, married into the Tubo Dynasty as a sign of friendship.
The two dynasties weren't always on good terms either.
In 763 AD, the An-Shi Rebellion caused the Tang Dynasty to decline. Due to the need to suppress the rebels in the north, most of the troops in the west of the Tang Dynasty were withdrawn.
The Tubo took the opportunity to enter the interior of the Tang Dynasty. General Dazhalugong (Ma Zhongying) gathered 200,000 troops to attack the Tang Dynasty. They occupied a dozen states to the west of Fengxiang and north of Linzhou.
In October of that year, they occupied Fengtian and soon reached Chang 'an. Emperor Daizong fled to Shanzhou. The Tubo army successfully occupied Chang' an and made Li Chenghong the emperor.
Fifteen days later, under the command of the famous general Guo Ziyi, the Tang army recaptured Chang 'an.
According to historical records, from 705 AD to 822 AD, the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo Empire had formed an alliance eight times. It could be seen that the relationship between the two dynasties was quite bumpy.
When the Tubo Dynasty joined the historical process, the first to bear the brunt was the Great Xia Dynasty.
Sichuan's Qiang County bordered Tubo, and it was the only player territory that had a border with Tubo. Fortunately, Songtsen Gampo wasn't a very aggressive Zampu. His future remained to be seen.
"System Announcement: The An-Shi Rebellion has officially ended. Commander Yabgu has taken over Loulan City and succeeded the throne of Khagan. The Western Regions will be replaced by the Turkic Khaganate, ruling over the various kingdoms of the Western Regions."
…
The Western Turks had been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, but they had risen from the ashes in the wilderness.
Unlike the Tubo Empire, the Turkic Khaganate's territory in the Western Regions was made up of more than thirty small kingdoms, including Wusun, Kucha, Yanqi, Loulan, Wensu, Gumo, Beilu, Huhu, Shan, Che Shi, Dawan, Anxi, Dayue, and Kangju.
The emergence of the Tubo Empire and the Turkic Khaganate had undoubtedly brought new variables to the confrontation between the north and the south of China. It remained to be seen what would happen in the future.
If the Great Xia Dynasty wanted to open up the Silk Road, they would have to deal with these two powers in the future.
…
Ouyang Shuo didn't have time to think about the Tubo Empire and the Turkic Khaganate. He first settled Du Fu down.
Given Du Fu's ambitions, he naturally wanted to become an official in the Great Xia Dynasty. However, he didn't have much experience in politics, and Ouyang Shuo couldn't put him in an important position to avoid gossip.
After thinking about it, Ouyang Shuo decided to place Du Fu in Zhili County as the Yongye County Magistrate. If Du Fu could make some achievements as the county magistrate, he would be promoted.
After settling Du Fu down, the system announcement sounded.
"System Announcement: The representative of the poetry world, Du Fu, has become an official in the Great Xia Dynasty. Shanhai City will be given the title of [Holy Land of Poetry] as a reward. Congratulations to player 'Don't Say You Have No Clothes'!"
…
Ouyang Shuo smiled. Of course, the Great Xia Dynasty didn't lack a county magistrate. As a Saint-ranked historical figure, Du Fu's influence and appeal in the poetry world was even greater.
With Du Fu becoming an official in the Great Xia Dynasty, a large number of poets would come to the Great Xia Dynasty.
[Holy Land of Poetry]: Increase dynasty culture index by 25, increase dynasty's attractiveness to poets by 50.
Since there was a poetry world, there would definitely be a poetry world, literary world, and art world. Ouyang Shuo was looking forward to another essence of Chinese culture shining in the Great Xia Dynasty after the Hundred Schools of Thought.
After returning to the Imperial Study, Ouyang Shuo took out the jade pendant that Li Xiang gave him and looked at its attributes.
[Emperor Yu's Pendant]: With this jade pendant, the player can trigger the storyline quest of the Nine Cauldrons of the Great under specific conditions. The player can explore the details by himself.
Ouyang Shuo's eyes narrowed. there was nothing special about the jade pendant except for the 'Nine Cauldrons of the Great Yu' mentioned in the description. If Ouyang Shuo's conjecture was correct, the Nine Cauldrons of the Great Yu should be one of the secret treasures of the Great Xia Dynasty.
One of the conditions to become a dynasty was to possess a secret treasure of the Great Xia Dynasty. Ouyang Shuo had no idea how to obtain it before, but now that he had reached this step, he could finally see a glimmer of hope.
"The Nine Cauldrons of the Great Yu? I want it. "Ouyang Shuo's eyes were filled with determination.
In the next few days, the wilderness was peaceful.
Everyone was still silently digesting the impact of the appearance of the three major powers in the wilderness. The players of Chang 'an City were even more excited, hoping to have a wonderful encounter with the outstanding figures of the Great Tang Dynasty.
The Immortal Poet Li Bai, the God of War Li Jing, the God of Door Yuchi Jingde, the Tiger General Cheng Yaojin.
No matter which one it was, it was a topic of conversation.
The mysterious Tubo and Western Turkic Khaganate also attracted the interest of the adventurer players.
To the feudal lords, the Tubo and Western Turkic Khaganate were a hidden threat, but to the adventurer players, it was an unexplored new map with a large number of quests and adventures waiting for them.
Therefore, in the past few days, there was an endless stream of players who teleported to Chengdu and then borrowed the route to Tubo.
Taking advantage of this crowd, the Mountain Sea Guard's secret agents also blended into the crowd, silently infiltrating the Tubo capital and the Turkic Khaganate to obtain first-hand information for the dynasty.
Regardless of what the future held, it was never wrong to know oneself and the enemy.
Other than that, what interested the adventurer players the most was the martial arts sects that had just entered the wilderness. As the number of sects in the wilderness increased, there were more and more choices for the adventurer players.
In the Five Years of Gaia, the strength of the adventurer players would take advantage of this trend and reach a new level.
In the past few days, there were a few historical figures of the Tang Dynasty who had come to Shanhai City to settle down, either because they had connections with people from the Great Xia Dynasty or purely because of its reputation.
