Li Shimin is a smart person, Li Kuan just briefly talked about the characteristics of hot air balloons, and he thought of how to use hot air balloons on the battlefield like Xue Li.

"There are not many soldiers and horses in Liangzhou City, and thousands of people have been lost by Niu Jinda recently. With this hot air balloon here, it is indeed easy to grasp the movements of the Western Turks and avoid being attacked by others. ”

Li Kuan did not deny the usefulness of the hot air balloon that Li Shimin said.

As for his true intentions, he naturally won't say it.

This kind of thing, before you succeed, if you say it, it will only add to the joke and even cause unnecessary trouble.

The hot air balloon landed on the ground without any danger, and Fang Xuanling and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, though, it was their turn to be curious.

What is it like to ascend to heaven?

It's just that Li Shimin didn't leave time for them to enjoy, and confirmed that the thing that caused the commotion in Chang'an City today was not a monster, and after experiencing it himself, he took the people back to the palace.

……

Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green!

When Li Kuan left Beijing, he did not encounter this kind of scene mentioned in ancient poems.

Because the characters of the Chu Wangfu followed Li Kuan to Liangzhou, all the way out of the city, Li Kuan almost didn't even see him off.

"Lord, the weather is starting to get colder, why don't you sit in the carriage too."

Liangzhou is Li Kuan's fiefdom, and this time he left Beijing, unlike the generals who went on an expedition, and they were not allowed to bring their families.

Naturally, Qing'er also went with her.

"The guards are all riding horses, and I, as the prince, of course have to take the lead, what is it like to ride in a carriage!"

finally had the opportunity to use master-level riding skills, and Li Kuan naturally wanted to show off.

There is no shortage of good horses in the Chu Palace, at least there is no shortage of good horses ridden by Li Kuan.

To be honest, in addition to being thinner, Li Kuan's appearance can really be regarded as handsome and chic, and with a batch of jujube red horses, the whole person is a lot more heroic.

"Lord Wang, I didn't expect you to be not only talented, known as the number one talent in Chang'an City, but also so superb in riding, which is really beyond the expectations of the villain."

Beside Li Kuan, a somewhat abrupt voice appeared in everyone's ears, this person was Wang Fugui.

As an accomplice of Li Kuan's defeated family, many people in the Chu Wangfu did not like Wang Fugui.

However, this guy is shrewd and decisive enough.

When the honeycomb coal of the Chu Wangfu appeared, he began to take the initiative to repair the relationship with everyone; And when the glass mirror came out, Wang Fugui immediately expressed his willingness to offer half of the family property, in order to become the agent of the Chu Palace.

Li Kuan also happens to need a business master to help him deal with business matters, his status in Chang'an City is special enough, and he is not afraid that Wang Fugui will dare to pit himself, so for this kind of win-win thing, he naturally agreed.

This time I went to Liangzhou, it stands to reason that it has nothing to do with Wang Fugui, but Li Kuan wants to take this opportunity to reopen the Silk Road.

Today, the Silk Road is basically in a state of semi-collapse, and the biggest factor is that the Western Turks are making trouble in it, after all, many territories in the Western Regions are still under the control of the Western Turks.

"Staying by the prince's side, I can really always see all kinds of unexpected things."

Wang Xuance also rode a horse with emotion and followed behind Li Kuan.

Although Wang Xuance is a scribe, he is actually very good at his skills, and his riding skills are also good. But compared with Li Kuan, it is obvious that there is a little less of that feeling of being more than skilled.

"It's only the first day, you guys are rare and weird, and when you get to Liangzhou City, there will be even more strange things."

Li Kuan, who originally thought that master-level riding skills were useless, felt that it was not bad to draw this thing after showing off in front of his subordinates.

There is also a master-level art of war that has not been used, I wonder if it can also have the same effect?

The group stayed overnight and soon went out of Guanzhong Road.

On the previous road, it can basically be said that the road was peaceful, but after leaving Guanzhong Road, the atmosphere immediately changed, and there were homeless people migrating to Guanzhong from time to time on the road.

Li Kuan is not a saint, and it is impossible to gather these displaced people for relief.

His first task was to rush to Liangzhou to take the town.

"Lord Wang, it stands to reason that Liangzhou is Yumen to the west, and out of Yumen Pass is the territory of the Western Turks.

Seeing that they would enter the territory of Liangzhou in a few days, Wang Xuance and the others were analyzing the current situation more nervously.

This way over, it can be regarded as a rapid march. Except for a few hot air balloon trainings, affected by strong winds, a few hot air balloons flew off the rails and delayed a little time, and the rest of the time was basically a fast march.

But fortunately, the Chu Wangfu is rich, and all the guards are one person and two horses, and the speed is several times faster than that of ordinary palace soldiers.

Li Kuan: "To the south of Liangzhou is Tuyuhun, and over the years, the relationship between Tuyuhun and Datang has been good and bad, and their internal opinions are not unified. In my opinion, nine times out of ten, there are people in Tuyuhun who are colluding with the Western Turks. ”

Liangzhou is an important gateway to the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, covering an extremely wide area.

To the north is the Xue Yantuo Department and the newly established Yunzhong Governor's Mansion, to the south is Tuyuhun, and to the west is the territory of the Western Turks after the Yumen Pass.

This time, Li Shimin asked Li Kuan to come to Liangzhou to sit in the town, but he added the name of the chief of the Northwest Road march to coordinate the forces of Liangzhou, Yumen Pass, Ganzhou and Suzhou.

In fact, because Ganzhou and Suzhou are located further west, the Tang Dynasty's dominance over these two places is actually very weak, except for the state city that is barely under control, and the rest of the place is managed by each ethnic group itself.

To put it mildly, the biggest purpose of the existence of these two states is to buffer the pressure on the west of Datang; In fact, out of the Yumen Pass, it can basically be understood as out of the Tang Dynasty.

"Tuyuhun has a unique geographical location, and all dynasties and dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty want to include it in its rule, and the Tang Dynasty is no exception. Lord Wang, this analysis of yours is really possible. ”

Although Wang Xuance's art of war is not as powerful as the master level of Li Kuan's system bonus, he also has a few brushes.

"Regardless of whether he is real or not, since this king is here, these Western Turks will not leave."

"Lord Wang...... Are you really going to fight the Western Turks head-on? Although the effect of the incendiary bomb is amazing, the odds of winning against 20,000 of us are too small. ”

Wang Xuance expressed his opposition more tactfully.

These days, Li Kuan's words have all said that he is going to destroy the Western Turks, which makes Wang Xuance's heart rise to his throat.

If the Western Turks are so easy to destroy, can the imperial court send the dignified King of Chu to Liangzhou to sit in Liangzhou and stabilize the morale of the army?

That's right, in the eyes of the bigwigs in the DPRK and China, the biggest role of Li Kuan's trip to Liangzhou is to stabilize the morale of the army.

You see, the court has even sent the prince, it is the second son of His Majesty, you defend against the Western Turks, we are all watching, we will not give up on you.
