At the foot of Yanran Mountain, the sun sets.

Xue Rengui and the Tang generals did not run to the expected position, and the cavalry of the Western Turks rushed out of the woods.

Ashina Helu looked at the Tang army one hundred and ten steps away, all of them were brightly armored, and there was greed in his eyes, but he also knew that these 10,000 Tang troops were the elite of the Tang army, and they were not easy to eat.

"Listen to the Tang army on the other side, this is the residence of the Venerable Western Turk Ye Hu.

I don't care how you came here, since you dare to offend me, Lord Ye Hu, you must be ready to accept the punishment of our Lord Ye Hu.

I now order you to dismount immediately, throw away your weapons, take off your armor, and beg on your knees, or you may be spared a cheap life, and you will be my Ashi slave in the future!" ”

Ashina Duxun has a very heavy grudge against Datang, and now that he is following the Western Turk Ye Hu, he has an advantage in terms of troops, so he naturally wants to vent it in words.

Ashina Helu looked at him and didn't speak, looking at the Tang army on the periphery with two eyes, waiting for the other party to answer.

The Tang army listened to Ashina Du's words, and they were all very angry, if it weren't for the strict military order, they would have to fight hard now.

Xue Rengui squinted his eyes and looked at the Turkic people opposite, and asked with a cold face: "You can protect Ashina Helu's tribe in the West Turk Ye, Ashina Helu is not here, His Royal Highness the Tang Prince, Tuo Mou, brought him a word!" ”

Ashina Helu laughed proudly when he heard this, shook his head and said, "I don't want the prince of the Tang Dynasty to know and know my name." ”

Xue Rengui didn't say anything when he heard this, he directly took out the big bow on the horse's back, took out the feather arrow, and pretended to take out a piece of paper from his arms......

Seeing this, Ashina Du Xun on the opposite side smiled and said: "This Tang general must be the favored person next to Li Chengqian, who wants to use feather arrows to pass the book from such a distance, and later the feather arrows he shot fly halfway to the ground, then it is called ......."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xue Rengui on the opposite side stretching out his hand and pulling the big bow into a full moon, aiming at Ashina Helu is an arrow.

"Whoosh!"

"Ahh

All the tribal soldiers of the entire Western Turks were stunned by this arrow.

Xue Rengui stepped off the war horse with one arrow and his legs clamped, and the war horse hissed and ran out.

Xue Rengui, who was riding on the horse, was not idle, and pulled out another feather arrow with his hand, and shot the stunned Ashina Du Xun in the head with an arrow.

When Xi Junmai saw Xue Rengui riding forward, he laughed and rode forward, and the Tang army behind them shouted and killed when they saw this, and chased the main general all the way to kill the enemy......

-----------------

The sunset scatters brocade in the twilight sky, and the Yellow River flows gold in the sunset.

Outside the city of Lingzhou, on the bank of the Yellow River.

Li Chengqian was dressed in a spring shirt and held a folding fan, facing the surging Yellow River to point out the country.

Behind Li Chengqian were dozens of tall brick kilns, and the smoke billowing from the brick kilns rose to the sky.

In a few days, the bricks and tiles in the kiln will be ceased and transported to a nearby high ground to build a house.

Li Chengqian turned to look at the crowded high ground, where the foundations were being excavated to move timber and prepare to build hundreds of brick houses.

According to Li Chengqian's plan, more houses will be built here in the future, and a new city will be formed in two to three years, so that the people of various nearby tribes can live here.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, at this speed, the first batch of 500 houses will be completed in less than half a month." Liu Renliang said with a smile on his face.

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "These people were disabled by the Tang Dynasty, and now they have to settle down in this place far from their hometown, and their children and grandchildren will live here for generations to protect the gate of the north for the Central Plains."

The lonely king has now done everything he can for them, trying to make his life better, so that they can have more children without worries, and the northern land of the Tang Dynasty will be more stable. ”

Li Chengqian's heartfelt remarks moved the ministers present and deeply admired Li Chengqian's foresight.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you attach so much importance to the construction of this place, why don't you summon the slaves sent to dig for gold and build the houses here first." Xu Jingzong suggested.

Hearing this, the other ministers also looked at Li Chengqian, and now the labor here is all requisitioned from various ministries, and although Li Chengqian can deter the leaders of various ministries here, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take advantage of this to cause chaos in the future.

Gao Jifu had already proposed to transfer the slaves of the Mobei tribes who were digging gold mines to build houses here, but Li Chengqian did not agree, and now Xu Jingzong, who is in charge of the money and grain here, once again proposed that Li Chengqian should also explain to everyone.

Li Chengqian looked at the construction site in the distance and said lightly: "Recruit herdsmen from various departments to come and build these houses, one can let these people know who the sky above their heads is."

In addition, he also let him learn how to build a house, and build his own house after he returned, and the lone king wanted to let the people in all departments know about the martial arts of the imperial court. ”

The conscription of labor often leads to complaints, but if the organizers are prepared for ideological education and are not too harsh on labor, it is also a good opportunity to spread the word. After all, there is no media in Datang, and folk news is basically passed on by word of mouth.

Gather people to take care of the food and work, watch the performance of the East Palace in their leisure, and give each person another sheep when they leave.

When the houses here are built, the good names of Datang and Li Chengqian will spread throughout the grassland.

Of course, there is another reason why Li Chengqian did not say it, he wants to use the gold and silver mines in Lanzhou as the principal to establish a new financial system in Chang'an.

After the martial arts, Li Chengqian has been inspecting various construction sites outside the city of Lingzhou, which is his most important base outside Chang'an.

If everything here is done according to his ideas, in a few years, the people here will be the most loyal group of people in the whole Datang.

While supervising the project here, Li Chengqian waited for Xue Rengui to come back with the women and children of the Mobei Tribes, and he wanted to arrange for these women and children to drive back to Chang'an again.

Before dark that day, Li Chengqian returned to Lingzhou City and saw the dust servants Ren Yaxiang, Hao Chujun, and Zhao Jie waiting for him at the door.

Seeing Li Chengqian dismount, the three of them hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "See His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Ren Yaxiang, Hao Chujun, and Zhao Jie were all people who stayed in Chang'an when Li Chengqian went on the expedition, Zhao Jie and Du He led the reclamation and steelmaking affairs of the Longshou Plain, Hao Chujun sat in the Chongjian Pavilion to compile books, and Ren Yaxiang took over the miscellaneous affairs of the Military and Political Academy.

These three people arrived at the same time, could it be that something happened to the East Palace?

Li Chengqian thought of this, and hurriedly said, "Why did the three Qing families come to Lingzhou?"

Hao Chujun glanced at the many entourages behind Li Chengqian and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is also an adult from Chang'an who wants to see you and the British Prince." ”

When Li Chengqian and Li Shiji heard this, they both felt that the situation was serious, and Li Shiji took a step forward and said, "Then the minister will accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to meet this lord." ”

"Hmm"

Li Chengqian walked inside.

Li Chengqian and his entourage came to Li Chengqian's residence in the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion and saw a person he couldn't think of.

Chu Suiliang!

The current Chu Suiliang is also an important member of the two palaces and a director of the Pingzhang Academy, and he can be said to be the real power prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, how could he suddenly come here?

As soon as Chu Suiliang saw that Li Chengqian was busy saluting, he stepped forward and grabbed Li Chengqian's hands and said eagerly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he became seriously ill as soon as he arrived in Chang'an, and I want you to return to Chang'an immediately." ”
