Chapter 131: The Great Army Sets Out
Spring ploughing sacrifice or something, it has little to do with Lu Hanyang, and after two days, Li Lizhen and Xiao Wu were sent back. And Lu Hanyang's long-prepared travel plan was also started, and the three of them went down to Yushan in a carriage.
"Master Immortal, what are we doing here?" Xiao Wu was holding a doll, a small tiger, made according to the appearance of her when she was wearing a tiger suit, and it was as big as herself.
"Go to travel, it's a pity not to go out to see this great river and mountain!" Lu Hanyang said: "You two little girls are so old and haven't left Chang'an Baili, right?" Speaking of which, people in this era are indeed like this, living within a radius of 100 miles all their lives.
Of course, this refers to the vast majority of people, those who are officials or businessmen, but run around. But as a woman, especially as a princess, most of them will not leave the capital too far, unless they are close.
"Yes, it's in Chang'an and Yushan, but I haven't seen all of Chang'an City, it is said that there are a lot of beards in the East and West markets, and Xiao Wu has never seen a beard." Xiao Wu said.
"What's so nice about a beard, it stinks from afar! None of them bathed, and the orchids wore their skins and flesh, all of them were shameless women. Li Lizhi said.
She has seen some of the Hu people, and she doesn't have the slightest affection for these original Zhaowu Jiu surnames or Turkic people, or even the big cannibals farther away.
"Really? Then forget it, don't look at it, it stinks. Xiao Wu asked, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he changed his mind.
"We want to look at the great rivers and mountains, watch the waves in the East China Sea, go to Mobei to shoot eagles, and go to the West Heavenly Queen Mother Yao Pond to enjoy the snow! This is worthy of coming to this world! Lu Hanyang said.
"The Yao Chi of the Queen Mother of the West? Are you sure? It was the Immortal Mansion. Li Lizhen's eyes lit up, of course she had heard the legend of the Queen Mother of the West, she could go to the mansions of those immortals?
"The place we went to is just a relic left behind, which the lord found after calculation, and it is where the Queen Mother of the West originally had a palace in this small world, but when she left, everything was moved, and only a Yao Chi remained."
Lu Hanyang said to the two little girls.
"That's where the gods once lived!" Li Lizhi said happily.
"It's cold in those places, so let's not go now, let's go somewhere else and have a good time, and then we'll go back in the summer." After the plan, go to Jiangnan first to see the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River that you once longed for, as well as the West Lake that has been passed down through the ages.
After that, turn to the east, go to the East China Sea for fishing, and then go all the way to the west, climb Mount Tai, and finally reach the place in the Western Regions to see the Tianshan Tianchi. I am afraid that it will take more than a year to implement such a travel plan, and the traffic in this era is not convenient.
Of course, along the way, it is also a way to teach the two little girls the knowledge, look at the mountains and rivers every day, and then tell some traditional stories of these places, and then let them write a diary.
I went down the mountain, got on the Bahe River, and took a boat directly. Such boats continue downstream along the river, passing the Baqiao Bridge on the edge of Chang'an, then to the eastern capital of Luoyang, and then almost to the Yellow River.
The days on the boat were very boring, and Lu Hanyang took the two little girls to charter a boat directly, and the boat would escort them back and forth.
Lu Hanyang's plan is very good, but all this will obviously not be implemented as smoothly as Lu Hanyang's plan. As soon as I arrived at Baqiao, I met someone who saw me off.
The boat chartered from the town at the foot of the mountain went directly down the river, but it was blocked directly on the way, and the entire river was full of boats, and all around Chang'an was closed.
Why, because Chang'an City was under martial law at this time, all the ships docked at the docks around Chang'an City were driven out, because these docks were all requisitioned.
The imperial court requisitioned these wharves because a large amount of grain had been brought back from the south, all of which had to be diverted overland in Chang'an and then transported to the north. This is the armament of the army, that is, the imperial court is preparing the grain and grass for the army to go out.
"This ...... The army is going to march? "Lu Hanyang didn't expect Datang to prepare to move troops at this time, what's going on? There has been no major war in the second year of Zhenguan!
But what Lu Hanyang remembers is the original Zhenguan two years, it was Li Er who signed the Weishui Alliance and emptied the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, and this time it was Li Er who defeated the Turks, although the treasury was consumed after last year's drought, but the money was still there.
Moreover, in the south, it was found that Linyi, Zhenla, and the surrounding area were rich in rice, and Feng Ang had planted a season of rice in Lingnan last year, and now a batch of rice in that part of Lingnan has been harvested.
The whole Lingnan left 20,000 stone of seeds, directly planted in an extensive way, and obtained 600,000 stone of grain, which is only one season, according to the calculation of three seasons a year, Lingnan's annual grain output of 2 million stone is not a problem.
And this time, he collected 400,000 stones directly from Zhenla and Linyi, and Feng Ang transported 1 million stones of grain to Chang'an. It's enough to start a big war.
Coincidentally, at this time, in the three-legged situation of Xue Yantuo, Hui Hui, and Turkic on the grassland, Xue Yantuo sent a distress signal to the Tang Dynasty.
Because of what? Because the Turks united with the Uighurs. Princess Yicheng made Jieli's eldest son, Dieluozhi, the king of Khan, gathered the remnants of the Turks, and then set up the royal tent at the foot of Yin Mountain, and all the Turkic tribes lived around the royal tent.
A defensive formation was formed, and all the adult men were armed, and an army of 100,000 men who had been in control of the strings was raised. stabilized the Turkic regime and agreed to relocate their pastures to the fertile lands of the south.
In this way, the situation of winning over Hui and attacking Xue Yantuo was formed, and he was ready to mobilize troops against Xue Yantuo. The whole situation in the grassland has become two against one, not a three-legged one.
In this case, Xue Yantuo had no choice but to ask Datang for help, but Yinan Khan couldn't withstand the attack of these two families. The Uighurs were to the southeast of Xueyanta, while the Turks were to the southwest.
Although there is still a large piece of Turkic grassland between the south of the Hui and the Tang Dynasty, that place has been negotiated with the Turks, and it will belong to the Hui in the future, and they will jointly resist the Tang Dynasty after they destroyed Xue Yantuo together.
This situation is not what Datang wants to see, because in this way, it is the three-legged stand of Datang, Turkic, and Hui. The Tang Dynasty is undoubtedly the most powerful of them, so the Hui and the Turks will give up their grievances with each other.
Then a united front was formed against the Tang Dynasty. Although this kind of alliance may not be stable, it is not something that Datang is happy to see. This situation must be broken, so it is logical to help Xue Yantuo.
