Li Zhi said with a smile, "The big leader of that mysterious army, Burigude, is my old friend, and the person in charge of forging under his name is also taught by me, and my words still work for them." If Uncle is interested in building large-scale equipment such as special baggage vehicles, I suggest that you cooperate closely with Brother Burigudebu, after all, this kind of giant vehicle, all kinds of process requirements are comprehensive, and it is by no means a single force that can be developed in a short period of time, and even if it is developed, if you don't have enough strength to have it, sooner or later it will be forcibly taken away by other forces in the military, and with Big Brother Bu in front, Uncle will have much less trouble in the future! ”

Li Ting continued, "There is another benefit, the special baggage vehicle often weighs tens of thousands of pounds, if the border is urgently needed, the unified deployment will be extremely difficult, so the relevant construction can not only be in the suburbs of Chang'an, by us to undertake a part, but save the urgent need for a hurry!" ”

Li Zhizan said, "Brother Le Rong's words are reasonable, temporary deployment, I'm afraid that it won't be a few months long, and when the various frontiers wait for them, I am afraid that they will have lost the opportunity to fight." Moreover, no matter how good the soldiers of the Weifu government are, they are far inferior to the hussars of the northern nomadic people like the Hu people, and the frontier places are frequent wars for many years, the people are fierce, and the bandits are crowded, and only the heavy war vehicles bring them enough deterrence. Therefore, the frontier guards are in urgent need of special baggage vehicles, and there is no need to worry about future sales. ”

The military system of the Tang Dynasty was the government military system, and the military government was scattered all over the country, called the Weifu, and it was dispatched to assemble and go out to fight during the war, and there were border soldiers in the border towns, and the government soldiers were recruited in turn.

The government soldiers are lifelong soldiers, regularly serve in the army every year, and return to their hometowns at the end of the period. When serving in the army, you must bring your own weapons, food, clothing, horses, etc., because the popularity of civilian horse breeding, there is no shortage of horses in the army, even if it is a foot army, it is also equipped with a large number of horses, so the Tang army marched very fast.

However, the shortage is that they cannot stay in the army for a long time to practice, even if everyone practices bows and knives on weekdays, they are not as brave and good at fighting as the border nomads, and they are good at riding and shooting.

What Li Zhi said is very realistic, as long as a large number of heavy armored units are spread out, it is enough to shock all the reckless nomadic border people, as he said, special baggage vehicles, really not worry about future sales.

He was out of consideration for the future career of Guo Yan, and now Qingqi's grandfather, Hexi Jiedu made the situation good and old, although in the Tang Dynasty, although the legal system of a certain family holding a specific position for generations was abolished, but the Shiqing Shilu system has not completely disappeared.

In particular, such a remote border town guard has been in the position of the governor of Hexi for twenty or thirty years, and his titles, fiefdoms, and official positions are inherited from father to son. peculiarities of the scene.

Although Guo Yan, the inheritor, can only inherit a title one level lower than the original title of the inheritor, if his own merits are sufficient, it is completely possible to equal or even surpass his father, which has a special advantage under the unspoken rules of officialdom.

The Hexi Corridor was occupied by the separatist regime until the unification of the Tang Dynasty, and it was not until the unification of the Tang Dynasty that the Hexi Corridor regained its dominant position in the Silk Road, which was the main route to important places for communication with the Western Regions.

In particular, once the Qinghai Road is cut off from the Hexi Corridor, the Tang Dynasty can only cross the Yellow River to the north, and then enter the Western Regions from the Hetao area to the west.

When the northern and middle roads of the Silk Road were interrupted by war, as an important part of the southern route, Qinghai Road will play an unprecedented important contribution, in the long river of history, not only tied to the economy, but also condensed the culture, so the Hexi Jiedu who governs the entire Hexi Province is really the key.

Hexi Jiedu Envoy is also known as the Anxi Four Towns Jiedu Envoy, Anxi Dadu Protector, is the ambassador of the Zhufan tribe of the four towns of Hexi Road, and is in charge of Qiuzi, Khotan, Yanqi, Shule four town guards.

The town guard envoy is equivalent to the commander of the provincial military division in later generations, and its official office is called the town guard envoy, which is appointed by the military department in principle, in fact, most of them are based on the recommendation of the four towns and the envoys, otherwise it is difficult for the festival envoys to have absolute influence on the four towns of Anxi.

The four towns of Anxi are important places in the border, which directly affect the stability and prosperity of the Silk Road, and Li Zhi's intentions are very far-reaching.

So he smiled and said: "Since you have a specific plan, this time you come to Ezhou, you have to help us implement it in place, and it sounds like this matter is not imminent, if the cooperation is reached one day earlier, there will undoubtedly be more future security." ”

Li Zhi replied sincerely, "It is recommended to contact your adjutant immediately in the next two days, and my uncle also needs to bring me a letter to establish direct contact with Burigude as soon as possible, so that the alliance can be signed as soon as possible before the armies react." ”

There is a Guannei Road between Ezhou and Hexi Road, 800 miles of Qinchuan is the way between Chang'an City and Hexi of Guannei Road, 800 miles of Qinchuan is only a symbolic word, and Qinling specifically refers to, in fact, the Qinling Mountains are 1,700 miles long.

Therefore, the garrison needs of the Western Regions were provided by the Buzhigude tribe outside Chang'an City, and once the Wuchang army established the same armament factory, it could be supplied to the entire Tang Dynasty by Guo Yan through the waterway.

Ezhou itself is the thoroughfare of the nine provinces where the two rivers meet, and is located in the transportation hub of the entire Datang water and land lines, and has the advantage of convenient transportation that echoes the East China Sea, the South China Sea, the northwest and the southwest in terms of geography.

From here to Beijing and Tianjin in the north, Guangzhou in the south, Chengdu in the west, Shanghai in the east, the distance is roughly equal, to Changsha, Nanchang, Hefei, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Zhengzhou is closer, from this point of view, the traffic in Ezhou is so convenient, in vain to the traffic aorta intersection of the important place.

The reason why the current Tang Dynasty military forces are not able to react is that Hexi and Ezhou are far apart, and once Guo Yan controls the boundaries of Ezhou due to armament manufacturing, it is of potential significance for him to inherit the Hexi Jiedu envoy in the future, and at that time, the entire imperial court will not dare to ignore his strength.

It was precisely because of the frequent flashing eyes with Li Zhi that Guo Yan gradually understood Li Zhi's deep purpose, which made him more and more shocked by Li Zhi's far-sighted and strategic talent.

"Then I will go back to Ezhou immediately, start preparing the communication letter, and then wait for your arrival there, so that I can do further consultations!" Guo Yan is also decisive.

"That's okay, uncle will be busy with you for the time being, at most in two days, we will meet in Ezhou City."

Li Zhi sent Guo Yan and Bei Zheng away, while Li Teng and Li Ting stayed, after all, most of the officials in Ezhou Mansion and nearby were here, so he couldn't summon these people and left first.

What's more, Li Zhi himself is a first-class duke, and his position is the same as that of his direct boss Lingnan Daojiedu Mi Rui, and he came with some kind of imperial order, Li Teng, as the governor of one party, cannot lose his courtesy.

Next, Daoist Zishi led the inspection of the other eight buildings one by one before returning to the main hall of Yulin Temple.

At this time, other forces in Tianzhu Mountain had already heard the news, and it was not until the evening that the officials left, and Li Zhi officially met with those people from the cultivation sect.

Originally, the local court was going to set up a reception dinner, but Li Zhiyan refused, because he and Li Teng had already communicated, looking forward to more time, to explore the mystery of Feilaifeng under the ancient tea tree.

Of course, the excuse was otherwise, and only after promising to go down the mountain tomorrow and get together with a group of officials at noon, those people were willing to leave.

In addition to the Yulin Temple in Tianzhu Mountain, there are not only other famous Taoist temples that regard this place as a place to teach the mantle, Buddhism is also regarded as a treasure land, and there are many Buddhist temples, otherwise how can there be 8,000 Taoist people and 2,000 monks here.

In fact, there are as many as 10,000 disciples under the Yulin Guan Sect alone, but most of them are scattered in the peaks of Tianzhu Mountain and the nearby mountains, and there are only a few thousand people on this main peak.

Among these Dao Buddha forces, there are many people in the realm of third-level masters, although the number is less than ten fingers, but all of them are the hosts and abbots of each force.

Before the change, they would not have come to visit so enthusiastically because of Li Zhi's status in the court, but his people far exceeded the cultivation strength of the third-level masters, which shocked the forces of all parties, and immediately rushed over with admiration, and it is said that there were several people in retreat among them, who also hurriedly finished their cultivation and arrived.

For the cultivators who came, Li Zhi had no feelings, just out of the same way, showing relative enthusiasm, at present, he was the face of the alliance forces on the side of Yulin Temple, and the open and secret struggle between the various forces in Tianzhu Mountain had existed for nearly a thousand years, and he didn't want to bring even the slightest adverse impact to Yulin Temple.
