Under the clear sky, Li Ang and Ran Min lay side by side on the newly sprouted young grass to fight with all their strength, which also made them consume a lot of strength. "Yongzeng, I will go to Haixi in the future, are you willing to go with me?" Looking at the flowing clouds in the sky, Li Ang hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Going, to Hercy, right?" Ran Min's face became rare and serious, "Marshal, do you know? I have known Ziyun since I was very young, and since then, it has been him who makes decisions for me, not myself, but this time, I have decided to be the master myself, and I am willing to follow you to Haixi. Thinking of Chen Qingzhi, Ran Min couldn't help but think of the stubborn and rigid old men in his family, I don't know if he will become like that one day!

"That's great, Ziyun also promised to go to Haixi with me in the future." Li Ang sat up, and soon Ran Min beside him also jumped up, looked at him and said, "Marshal, what are you talking about, Ziyun will also go to Haixi?" ”

"Of course, Ziyun decided to take the princess of Guishuang, do you think those old people in Ziyun's family will agree?" Li Ang looked at Ran Min and smiled, "If my guess is correct, Ziyun may be expelled from the lineage of the lineage." ”

"Expelled out, expelled out, those old guys are not good goods, if Ziyun is with them, sooner or later he will become like them." After listening to what Li Ang said, Ran Min was overjoyed, and it could be seen that he really didn't have a good impression of those elders in Chen Qing's family.

After returning to the camp, Li Ang was in a good mood, Chen Qingzhi and Ran Min were willing to go to Haixi with him, and in the future, he would have two more generals who could take charge of themselves, even if they fought on two fronts. He is not afraid that there will be no generals at his disposal. "Father-in-law. The envoy from Chang'an arrived. Li Angfang returned to the tent, and Li Cunxiao and Li Cunzhi hurried there.

"I don't know what Your Majesty's will is!" Seeing that Li Cunzhi and the envoy behind Li Cunxiao were wearing the clothes of the black cavalry camp, Li Ang knew that he must have been sent by Cao Anmin. After the military salute, Li Cunzhi and Li Cunxiao were sent out of the handsome tent.

"This is a secret letter from His Majesty to the marshal, and I ask the marshal to burn it immediately after reading it." The envoy of the Black Cavalry Battalion took out a secret letter sealed with vermilion lacquer and fire seal from his bosom, and respectfully handed it to Li Ang, who was already famous all over the world with his 400,000-level military exploits in the northwest. He was faintly praised by the government and the opposition as the world's first general.

After opening the letter in front of the envoy of the black cavalry battalion, Li Ang read it carefully, then burned the letter in front of him before saying to him, "Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?" ”

"Back to Marshal, no." The envoy of the Black Cavalry Battalion replied, but thought for a moment before saying. "Your Majesty just keeps talking about the marshal from time to time, hoping that the marshal can return to Chang'an as soon as possible, saying that it is really boring to face those ministers all day long."

"Really!" Leon laughed. Then he said, "Wait until I have arranged the military affairs." Tomorrow I will leave with you to return to Chang'an. ”

"The marshal is not waiting for the official edict of the imperial court." Hearing Li Ang's words, the envoy of the black cavalry camp was stunned and said, he was escorting the emperor's secret letter this time, and behind him there was a group of imperial envoys who were coming from Yizhou.

"Don't wait for them." Li Ang replied with a smile, speaking of which, he didn't like to deal with those civil officials very much, although the court was full of practical Legalist officials now, but he still didn't want to have anything to do with the court.

After the envoy of the black cavalry battalion left, Li Ang summoned all his cronies to come to the tent, "Your Majesty has approved my invitation, opened an account in Tubo and set up a mansion, called Dingxi Zhechong Mansion, although it is only Zhechong Mansion, but it can recruit 50,000 soldiers, Murong, Xiulong Liu Yuzi, Xingguo Chen Baxian I want to leave you in charge of this mansion, are you willing?" Although Li Ang was asking, in fact, he had already decided on this matter.

"Order." Murong, Liu Yu, and Chen Baxian didn't talk much, but they just took orders in a deep voice, they knew that this Dingxi Zhechong Mansion was actually the emperor's private military place for Li Ang, and it can be said that the emperor's trust in Li Ang was almost unreserved.

"Ziyun, Yongzeng, I wonder if you are willing to stay here?" Li Ang looked at Chen Qingzhi and Ran Min again, the two of them were not his official subordinates yet, but as long as the two of them agreed, he could ask Cao Anmin for the two of them.

Ran Min and Chen Qingzhi glanced at each other and finally agreed, the two had decided to go to Haixi with Li Ang in the future, because they would serve him as the master, and Chen Qingzhi didn't want to go back to Jiangnan too soon.

After arranging the affairs of Dingxi Zhichong Prefecture, Li Ang left Helian Bobo and the four of them, this time the 10,000 soldiers they recruited from the desert, under the battle, there were only 6,000 people left, but they were all veterans and could be pulled out to fight a tough battle. "You continue to go to the desert and grassland to recruit troops and horses, and gather 50,000 people, but remember to prefer shortage to abundance." Li Ang said in a deep voice, "Moreover, remember to gather the families of those soldiers for the purpose of moving west in the future." ”

"Whoa!

Bo Bo and the others all replied loudly in unison, Li Ang's order was tantamount to acquiescing in the command of the army of 10,000 people, thinking of this, they couldn't help but be a little impatient, to go to the grassland, pull those most elite and strong men under their hands, and train a strong army, this time they followed the Great Qin Legion to fight, and they had a deep understanding of the terrifying combat power of the Great Qin Legion.

"In addition to training soldiers, you should also pay attention to the movement of the steppe, especially the Huns." Looking at Helian Bobo and a few of them, Li Ang said quietly, in the secret letter that Cao Anmin gave him, he mentioned the Xiongnu, and now that Daqin has fully annexed Hezhong, it is already bordering the Xiongnu's sphere of influence, presumably the Huns will definitely have a war with Daqin because of the river in the future, after all, for the Huns, if Daqin is allowed to eat the river completely, then Hezhong will become the strategic supply land of Daqin, as long as Daqin is willing, he can send troops from the river to attack the Xiongnu at any time.

"Marshal, are we going to war with the Huns?" Helian Bobo's eyes showed a fierce light, his maternal ancestor was a spy of Daqin lurking in the Xiongnu, and he died at the hands of the Huns, so it can be said that he and the Xiongnu can be regarded as a blood feud.

"Hezhong is a good place, but it is also a troublesome place, whether it is Persia or Xiongnu, they can tolerate the hegemony and even suzerainty of Daqin over Hezhong, but they will not let Daqin incorporate it into the territory and exercise effective rule." A cold glint also flashed in Li Ang's eyes, and he patted Helian Bobo's shoulder, "This battle, sooner or later, you will first go to the grassland to recruit soldiers, conduct training, and take the Eastern Turks to train by the way, and you will have the opportunity to fight with the Huns in the future." ”

"Qinling, you go too." Li Ang turned around and looked at Xue Qinling, who was accepted by himself as a personal soldier, this young man who was originally a Tubo was also a general, so he asked him to go to the grassland to see how far he could go.

—

"Whoa!" Being named by Li Ang, Xue Qinling replied loudly, he didn't expect that he would be entrusted with a heavy task by Li Ang so soon, and his face turned red at the moment, "Qinling must die to repay the Lord." ”

"Do a good job and don't let me down." Leon smiled and said to everyone, "Go and prepare, let's leave tomorrow!" ”

"Whoa!" With a neat answer, Helian Bobo and several people withdrew from the tent, leaving only Li Cunzhi and Li Cunxiao still in the tent.

"Father-in-law, let Helian recruit 50,000 soldiers at once, plus Dingxi Zhichong Mansion, 100,000 troops, with our current financial resources, I'm afraid we can't do it!" Seeing that Li Ang had expanded his forces so much all of a sudden, Li Cunzhi couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Money is not an issue." Li Ang smiled, he thought of the reward that Cao Anmin mentioned in the letter, although he was not a marquis, but he was extremely rich in wealth, thinking of this, he said, "Moreover, 100,000 soldiers cannot be recruited in a while. ”

"By the way, Cunzhi, I heard that you have been going to see that Sundaran a lot lately, is it true?" Li Ang suddenly thought of something, looked at Li Cunzhi and asked.

Li Cunzhi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Ang to ask this question suddenly, but he didn't know how to answer. This time, Li Cunxiao saw the opportunity quickly, and hurriedly replied for him, "My father-in-law must have heard it wrong, with the temperament of the eldest brother, how could he like a Tibetan woman, isn't it, eldest brother?" ”

"Yes." Hearing his brother's words, Li Cunzhi came back to his senses and hurriedly replied that although he liked Sandaran a little, if he was disgusted by Li Ang because of this, he would rather break off the relationship with Sandaran immediately.

"Are you righteous fathers also those madmen of the Imperial Dao Sect?" Looking at the nervous expressions of Li Cunzhi and Li Cunxiao, Li Ang shook his head, "Now that the plateau is under my Great Qin territory, and Sang Dalan is also a citizen of Great Qin, how can my father-in-law be?" Speaking of this, Li Ang sighed and said to the two, "Do you know what my father-in-law is most worried about going west in the future?" ”

"The child doesn't know, and I ask my father-in-law to show me." Li Cunzhi and Li Cunxiao glanced at each other and replied at the same time.

"Daqin is now a peaceful and prosperous era, do you think that in the future, when your father-in-law takes you west, how many people of Daqin will be willing to leave their hometowns and go with us?" Li Ang smiled bitterly and said, although he can lead hundreds of thousands of troops all the way to Haixi, but without the people to follow, how can he erode and change the population composition of Haixi, so that the Han people can replace the West.

Li Cunzhi listened to Li Ang's words, thought of those desert and grassland people who were recruited by Li Ang's order, his expression was shocked, and then he looked at Li Ang, "My father-in-law wants to use the people on the plateau, the desert, and the grassland..."

"Yes, my father-in-law wants them to turn into Han Chinese and go to Haixi, so you have to take Sandaran as his wife, and the Han soldiers recruited by Dingxi Zhechong Mansion in the future will also do the same." Leon nodded.
