The earliest steps of external expansion, the sooner you can get the most benefits. Then, with the rich benefits brought by these benefits, you can invest these money and materials again in the construction of your army and even the territory, and gather this advantage as soon as possible in a snowballing way. Later, he overwhelmed all the rebels who were fighting at the same time, and finally ruled the world and became the founding emperor of a generation.

Although Li Yuan said that he had the support of the Long nobles behind him, he could not escape the demand for soldiers. No matter how rich the Guanlong nobles are, they only occupy a place in Guanzhong, and they can provide Li Yuan with start-up capital, but Li Yuan needs to find a way to invest in the follow-up. Previously, for the attack on Xue Ju in the west, Li Yuan's investment cost can be said to be not low, but under Li Yuanji's leakage, this investment was lost, which really hurt Li Yuan's vitality, and fortunately Li Wenyuan's army was still fighting with the Liang Shidu army for a while, and there was no intention of going south for a while. Therefore, this gave Li Yuan enough time to collect Sun Hua's forces, and what Sun Hua's forces were trying to do was not the land occupied by Sun Hua, what Li Yuan wanted was the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty army under Sun Hua.

With the addition of this soldier, Li Yuan finally felt that he could straighten his waist when walking, so after integrating these soldiers into his own army, he ordered Li Shimin to lead his newly organized army to gather northward and arrange the defense of Li Wenyuan's army. After all, Liang Shidu has now lost the support of the Turks, and in the face of the extremely powerful Western Regions Army, the destruction may be imminent. Therefore, instead of Li Wenyuan's army suddenly going south and the unknown result of his hasty response to the battle, Li Yuan naturally would not take this risk, so as soon as the army was newly reorganized, Li Yuan immediately asked Li Shimin to lead the army north immediately and arrange the corresponding defense.

Li Yuan and Tong Lifushi had just signed a mutual defense agreement against the Western Regions Army, and it could almost be said that a copy of the same was sent to Li Wenyuan before the ink was dry. Although this copy does not have the seals of both Liversh and Li Yuan, the content on it is exactly the same. Li Wenyuan took this mutual defense agreement and looked at it, and then suddenly turned his head and asked Qiu Niang without a head: "Are we expanding too violently?" Notoriety is more than twenty-five and has exploded? Why is there some meaning that all nations are coming to court? You see, among these forces around us, the Turks in the west have just been beaten by us and have only their last breath, and the Turks in the north are now taking care of themselves, and they were also beaten by us in Wuwei County before, and even died a great khan. The army of Liang Shidu is now at war with our army, and Li Yuan has now signed a defense agreement with the Turks in the north against us. Although it is a close attack from afar, but now that we are surrounded by enemies on all sides, how can our envoys pass through them to communicate with distant countries? ”

"It's okay, now they are just alert to us, but this is only because they have not yet experienced the combat effectiveness of our army. If they have personally experienced the combat effectiveness of our army, then although they will still maintain a hostile posture with us and maintain the mentality of guarding us, out of fear of the strong combat effectiveness of our army, our envoys and our caravans will still be able to pass through their territory as freely as before. Do they dare to stop us? They stop one of our envoys today, and tomorrow our army can go straight to their capital, and that's as simple as that. Although Qiu Niang didn't understand what Li Wenyuan said about twenty-five or notorious, she roughly understood what Li Wenyuan meant, so she comforted Li Wenyuan and said.

"Regardless of those things that are not marginal for the time being, what happened to the army that fought with the Liang Division? Did Voldy send back any news? With his methods, it shouldn't have dragged on for so long to face a rogue force that has lost the protection of the Turks, what happened to him, have you heard any news from the night owls? Li Wenyuan nodded deeply after listening to Qiu Niang's words, although Li Wenyuan has been trying to rely on the golden finger in his mind to add some advantages to himself, but for some reason it seems that the butterfly effect has really happened, except for some particularly major historical events, all other corresponding historical trends are different from what he remembers, and some are even the opposite. This made Li Wenyuan can't help but think about a few more moves when he plays every move.

"There's not much news from Voldy's side, and don't expect us night owls to help you in this crusade. Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou, the two small forces, there are no people from our night owls, so far the news we have obtained is the information shared by the military owls, the intelligence of the military owls said that Zhuang Fudi encountered more than ten times the enemy of his own in the territory of Liang Shidu, although they were all strong men drawn from the people by Liang Shidu, and their combat effectiveness was not worth mentioning. But after all, it is ants that bite and kill elephants, not to mention that among these armies there is also an army supported by Liu Wuzhou further east. The combat effectiveness of these sub-armies should not be underestimated, and they were hidden among these militias, and when they did not find out the specific army configuration, Zhuang Fudi did not dare to rashly launch an attack. After all, this kind of strategic method similar to gambling is difficult for Zhuang Fudi, who has always been a little fanatical in order to improve the plan, so I estimate that Zhuang Fudi should constantly send military lords on the front line to find out the specific configuration of the Liangshi army on the opposite side, and he should only continue to attack after finding out the information in these aspects. But it doesn't matter, you must know that Liang Shidu's army is now regarded as a national soldier, and his grain and grass itself is not particularly abundant, let's delay it for another three or five months, even if Zhuang Fudi does not attack, a single military ration can make Liang Shidu's army completely wipe out. All in all, as long as Zhuang Fudi does not make too many mistakes, then the final victory will still be ours. Qiu Niang couldn't help but have a headache about Li Wenyuan's question, but then after sorting out her limited information, she said to Li Wenyuan with a little speculation.
