Chapter 227: The bell rings the signal to return home
"Don't even think about it."
Li Er's answer was simple and clear, not to mention that the top ten factories in the east and west needed him to go back to preside over the work, the heavenly and earthly buildings needed him to be unveiled and opened, just to marry Li Li, and completely kidnap Yanglin in the royal family is also something Li Er can't wait to do, like a demon like Yanglin, Li Er is not psychologically solid if he doesn't look at him for a minute, how can he put him in this mediocre Nanzhao land.
Of course, the most direct problem is that Chang'an's population is skyrocketing, the new urban management problems are too complicated, and the existing officials in Chang'an Mansion are a little helpless, these problems have no precedent before, so there must be a forward-looking person like Yanglin to deal with those thorny problems.
"I have intended to let the auxiliary general Duan Zhixuan garrison 30,000 prime ministers Nanzhao, the governor of Jingzhou to see the 30,000 prime ministers of the Gongchai Shao army, the eldest grandson Shunde to unify the new army of 30,000 prime ministers to serve as the prime minister, Xue Wanche, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet, and the 50,000 navy under his command are stationed in Lingnan and Jiaozhi, and you, the former governor of the Huainan Navy and the governor of the Lingnan Navy will immediately hand over to Zhang Liang, the governor of the navy, and return to Beijing for another appointment." Li Er finished the appointment in one breath, but it was all within the expectations of the ministers, the three prime ministers were all Li Er's diehard loyalists who participated in the Xuanwumen Incident, and Xue Wanche, the commander-in-chief of the navy, was Li Er's diehard and the identity of the horse, these generals usually do not become the commander's party, but they must be in the vicinity of the commander to clamp down on those who are the commander.
Duan Zhixuan used to specifically clamp Feng An, now Feng Ang no longer needs to be clamped, he has become the prime minister of Nanzhao, Xue Wanche was clamping down on the Western Army before, sometimes it was Cheng Biting Jin, sometimes it was Li Jing, and now these veterans are following behind Li Er, naturally there is no need to clamp it, the eldest grandson Shunde, naturally needless to say. As long as the eldest grandson is still the queen, the eldest grandson family is the most staunch supporter of the Li family, Chai Shao is the governor of Jingzhou, close to Xiangxi, and has a great influence on the control of Hunan and Guizhou, in Li Er's diehard, he is naturally the best candidate to manage this land, but Yanglin is a little aggrieved, twelve or thirteen years old, although he has won a big battle. It is impossible for Li Er to give him a higher title or official position.
"Your Majesty, this is to unload the mill and kill the donkey!" Yang Lin said in a broken sentence.
"Then we have to wait until your little donkey grows flesh before killing." Li Er said angrily, of course there are other Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, if Yanglin can't return to Chang'an, then the art troupe will naturally not be able to go back, then the beauty Xiliang he has been thinking about for a long time will naturally not be able to go back, so Yanglin must go back in his plan.
Yang Lin shrunk his donkey's head and retreated into the ranks in a sneer, he knew that this was something that could not be changed. Li Er's arrangement may not be reasonable, at least the land of Jiaozhi is not something that 30,000 troops can defend, and there are many small countries in the South Seas along the coast. If import and export controls are really to be implemented, at least 80,000 to 100,000 troops, that is, all the troops that Yang Lin now has in his hands, can only hope that Xue Wanche will put most of the main force of the South China Sea Fleet in Jiaozhi by then! However, you can knock Xue Wanche in private. With the navy in hand, I'm sorry for myself if I don't make a fortune, and when the time comes, show him a way to make a fortune. Then tell him to control the coastal defense line and prevent smuggling.
Li Er naturally has a series of appointments and explanations to the heads of Nanzhao, Jiaozhi, and Wumiao Land, Tusi, and officials, Yang Lin listened to boring, he admired Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Gong two old guys, one can sleep straight on his knees, and the other can sleep with his eyes open, only Yang Lin, who is closest to them, can hear the slight snoring from their noses.
The boring discussion lasted for half a month before it ended, Yanglin proposed to visit all parts of Nanzhao and then take a boat to Shuzhong, take the Qinling Ancient Road back to Beijing, but Li Er's refusal, since the war of Nanzhao has been decided, the first person to retreat to Shuzhong can return to Chang'an first, Zhenguan Dynasty five years ago, Li Er decided to hold a big military parade in Chang'an, after all, Yanglin's last whole sea parade was too shocking to him, this time still appointed Yanglin as the commander-in-chief, and returned to Chang to arrange a military parade first, And he himself will take the Emperor and the Tang Army's largest warships down the Yangtze River, to Yuezhou to inspect Yuezhou New Town, and then turn into the canal to go to Luoyang, Bianzhou, and return to Chang'an before the Spring Festival.
Yanglin didn't know why Li Er was so eager to return to Chang'an by himself, maybe it was because he didn't want to prematurely characterize the Li Chengqian incident, and he didn't want to prematurely express his stance on who the crown prince was, anyway, there were still many months before the Spring Festival, he loved to inspect, so let him inspect! Chang'an does still have a bunch of things waiting for Yanglin to deal with.
Since Li Er is going to send Yanglin back to Chang'an in a hurry, then Yanglin naturally does not let Li Er feel comfortable, and all the members of the art troupe, Yanglin must bring them back, because after the military parade in Zhenguan's fifth year, Yanglin will hold a grand theatrical performance, and at the same time launch the full opening of the Heaven and Earth Entertainment City, and he needs manpower for a series of large-scale activities.
In late July, Yanglin stayed in Chengdu Mansion with a population of one million for three days and then embarked on the road back to Chang'an, in fact, if it was not for the inspection of Chengdu's supermarket and the construction of the heavenly and earthly entertainment city, Yanglin would not stay in Chengdu for three days, I have to say that Chengdu is second only to Chang'an in the Li Tang Dynasty is a rich place, with Chang'an, Yangzhou, Suzhou construction as a model, Chengdu Mansion supermarket and heaven and earth building construction is very smooth, but it is a pity that Yanglin has gone to Chang'an, The Mid-Autumn Festival will return to Chang'an to make moon cakes for Li Lizhen, otherwise it should be better after his careful guidance of the construction here.
"Brothers and sisters, do you have any confidence to cross the Qinling Ancient Road to Chang'an for the Mid-Autumn Festival in half a month?"
"Yes."
"Let's go."
The bell rings the signal to return home, the four-year journey is finally coming to an end, I still remember when I first went out of Chang'an, many of them were still children, and now the white rose has grown into a big girl, Yanglin has also become a young man, many of the original green faces have become mature after the baptism of war and suffering environment, this moment really has a little bit of the temperament of the soldiers of the art troupe, all the way, all the way to the song, their mood is extremely happy, a new Chang'an is waiting for their arrival.
More than two hundred miles near Lanzhou Mansion, Li Jing's slightly tired body appeared here, behind him, more than 2,000 people were all bloody, and many of the tattered paper armor pieces had been soaked with blood for a fishy rancid smell, just half a year ago, Tuyuhun 30,000 iron cavalry attacked them, this army that had been wandering in the Qaidam Basin of the Turkic land for two years had never suffered such a strict loss, the loss of three horses, Li Jing's heart was dripping blood.
"Brothers, they want to block our way home, what do you say?"
In fact, the army of the god of war Li Jing has never needed to cheer up the soldiers, but this time it is different, the enemy's attack came too suddenly, Tuyuhun has always committed no crime with the Tang Dynasty, the Hetao area is suitable for raising horses, Tuyuhun's war horses have always been sold to the Tang Dynasty, at least for the Tang Dynasty, it is an economic cooperation country, what drove them to suddenly attack the Tang army, Li Jing couldn't figure it out, but killing his brother Sancheng was an endless mortal enemy.
"Kill, kill, kill"
It's rare that the army of the dead Sancheng has not yet collapsed, and the army of the dead Sancheng still shouts to kill the other party, either it will kill the red eye, or it really has that kind of strength.
Rest, Li Jing led the army for two years do not know what rest and recuperation is, as long as the formation of a queue, they can fight, it is with such a strong will that they survived in the vast Western Regions, from the initial small victories accumulated to the final big victory, a tribe of power that has been inherited for hundreds of years was wiped out by their three thousand horsemen, from the moment Li Jing repeatedly said that he did not return to Chang'an, when he took off his armor, this war was not over, sure enough, on the final way home, they met the most formidable enemy of the trip.
Zhongchen Daxiang was very depressed, 30,000 elite cavalry, this is already the largest number of troops that Tuyuhun can dispatch in a hurry, after all, Tuyuhun only has the land of three states in the Hetao region, but in the case of 30,000 against 3,000, he actually did not defeat the other party, not only did not kill the defeat, but he also lost nearly 3,000 horses, before he didn't understand why the famous Goryeo general Gai Su Yuanwen was so incompetent in the face of 30 million cavalry, and now he understands that the heavy cavalry that can run at high speed is the positioning of Zhongchen Da relative to the 10,000 cavalry.
Since Tuyuhun did not be able to destroy Li Jing's three thousand horsemen in a battle, it is conceivable that Tuyuhun will encounter how strong the Tang Dynasty will retaliate next, and the minister does not dare to stay in Tuyuhun for a long time, and Fu Yun, the lord of Tuyuhun, will definitely be angry with him, and even kill him to confess to the Tang Dynasty, in order to get the forgiveness of the emperor of the Tang State, so he chose to secretly escape from Tuyuhun, but he didn't go far and was stunned on a hillside.
"Boom, boom, boom"
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and something unexpected happened to the ministers, Li Jing, who had just broken through the siege, would actually lead his men and horses to kill back.
"This, this"
The prime minister turned to look at the Tuyuhun army in the distance who were resting after a battle, some of them were preparing to set up camp, and more were fighting for the novelties left behind after the death of the Tang army.
The minister himself is a martial arts master, but now he doesn't even have the courage to make a sound, he only dares to gallop away in the other direction with two subordinates, he doesn't even return to the horse to remind the Tuyuhun people's interest, these people are so stupid, they think that the war is over so lightly, they didn't even send scouts to probe that the Tang army fled there, they didn't know how terrifying it was to face the Tang Ten Thousand Cavalry Army.
When Tuyuhun's army found that the Tang army was rushing towards and hurriedly looked for their horses, more than 20 million cavalry troops pounced on their prey like fierce tigers, and a tragic slaughter began. (To be continued......)
