Volume 12 Complete Closure Chapter 1 The Return

The long wind blew through the barren desert, rolling up the wind and sand, the sky and the earth were vast, there was no cloud on the horizon, only a round of sunset was like a huge wheel. The sand and dust drifted with the wind, flew out of the desert, and plunged into the vast grassland, slowly accumulating. The grassland, which had lost all its life, was like a dead land, silently bearing the invasion of the wind and sand. Perhaps thousands of years later, there will be verdant green aquatic plants again, and countless grassland animals will live here, but now this place has completely become the territory of sand.

"It's time to go back, the alien race on the grassland is completely finished this time, I didn't expect that every time it is not a conventional method to defeat these people, it always has to use some means, it's really a shame!" Li Kuan stood on the Gobi Desert, maybe some of these alien races on the grassland will have a hard time surviving, but without this piece of land on which they depend, their lives will definitely not be the same as before. The vast majority of the entire grassland has been completely destroyed by nuclear radiation, and it is absolutely impossible to fully recover without a period of adaptation, which may be decades, or even hundreds of thousands of years, but these are all Li Kuan's concerns.

"General, let's go like this? The remains of those brothers? One of his generals asked aloud. They are indeed hot-blooded men, how can they just leave with this kind of passionate intertwined feelings between their comrades-in-arms? Even their bodies are not restrained.

"What has become of this grassland now, everyone can see that this place is completely unsuitable for human life, but this king can tell you that this is only the simplest, and no one in this grassland can escape the harm of those invisible things. As long as we step into this grassland, then we may receive invisible damage, which is not the kind of flesh wound that is stabbed and stabbed. After a long time, the survivors of this steppe will tell us the answer. They will become people who are not like people, ghosts who are not like ghosts, and the children they give birth to will also become deformed, and they will be complete monsters! Li Kuan did not agree: "Where are the bones buried in Qingshan, the bodies of our warriors of the Tang Dynasty are buried here, which is the honor of this grassland." These steppe people are the burial objects for the burial of our brothers! ”

All of them were gathered together, and the rest was less than half of the people who had set out at the beginning, all of them were dressed in ragged clothes, and their armor was full of crystals of snow-white salt. There was no initial anger and hesitation on everyone's faces, but there was still a trace of fear in the center of their eyes, this was not the fear of death, but the fear of Li Kuan's method of being like a god and demon, in this short period of time, a green grassland became a wild and barren land. Even the tenacious weeds can't survive on this land, it's completely beyond everyone's knowledge, and this is completely a means that only gods and demons have, completely changing the world. Who is not afraid of such means? Moreover, they have completely witnessed this transformation of the vicissitudes of the sea on the edge of this grassland in a short period of time, but in about half a year, from the early summer when they arrived in this grassland, to the end they are about to leave, it is only early winter. Even the first snow of the year has yet to fall. But in this short period of half a year, Xue Yantuo, who has nearly a million people on the grassland, has completely collapsed. They estimated that there were less than 10,000 Turks, Xueyantuos, Uighurs, and Qixins who had fled from the steppe.

It was only one percent of the population of all steppe tribes, and there were no old or sick among them, only a group of soldiers in leather armor. In other words, this nation is completely finished, because without women, how can such a tribe reproduce? And these people definitely didn't dare to flee in the direction of Datang, they all migrated farther away in the Western Regions, and they were completely frightened by Datang's mysterious methods. Everyone was as if they had survived from the mouth of a wild beast, and they were terrified, and they didn't dare to take a step towards Datang at all.

"Is all this good or bad?" Li Kuan rode on horseback, jolting with the footsteps of the horse, he was thinking, burying these things in this grassland can be regarded as a complete solution to the troubles of the Western Regions. Because he did not believe that in this backward era, there would be people who would be able to withstand nuclear radiation through this vast desert. Except for Xue Yantuo's road, the rest of the paths are even more difficult, to cross the vast mountains, so that the Silk Road, which has been famous all over the world since the Han Dynasty, is completely broken. Whether it is the Hu merchants of the Western Regions or the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to pass through. Maybe you can only go from the sea! Li Kuan thought in his heart that in addition to the land Silk Road, there is also a maritime Silk Road for exchanges between the East and the West.

After thinking for a while, Li Kuan felt that he was thinking nonsense, for what things to exchange, what does this matter to him, he doesn't need any exchanges and development between the East and the West, as long as the productivity of this era is satisfied, he can skip the hurdle of invention and creation, and get out all those advanced things, coupled with the copycat ability in the bloodline of the Celestial Empire, what can't be made? As for the small countries that are still around Xue Yantuo, as well as those countries in the more west, it is nothing, it is just a disease of ringworm. It's just that Hou Junji has no chance to destroy Gaochang, because the area of nuclear radiation exceeds Li Kuan's estimate, and Gaochang, a small projectile country, is also shrouded in it, although the change is still relatively small, but it is just a matter of time, and when the time comes, Gao Sing will naturally disappear in the long river of history. Just like Loulan, it has completely lost its trace, and it is not necessary to become a mystery for the ages! I believe that the changes in the grassland of Xue Yantuo in a short period of time will be debated by countless experts and scholars thousands of years later, and it will be wiped out because of nuclear radiation? In the era of Datang, there were no nuclear bombs......

Li Kuan's troubles no one understands, but Li Er is the opposite of the Jinluan Palace, at this time in Chang'an City, the cold wind blows, the whole city falls into a kind of scorching atmosphere, now it stands to reason that it is already Siyi surrendered, Li Er should have no worries, but just when the whole country is beginning to prepare to build a prosperous atmosphere, there are always so many people who will jump out and sing the opposite.

In the land of Baiyue in the south, the endless vast mountains, where the mountains are deep and dense, countless dense forests and poisonous miasma, and many fierce beasts are clustered in the middle, these are all wild pictures. But there are still groups of people living here, they are the aborigines here and the refugees who fled here in the wars of the past dynasties, and there is another type of people, they are the losers who have failed in the battle for the world, these people are all ambitious to come here, in vain to make a comeback, and return to the Huahua world of the Central Plains. But when they arrived, they were all defeated by the harsh natural environment here, and they had to struggle to survive in the treacherous mountains and rivers.

However, with the increase of the population here, several powerful tribes were gradually formed, and these people fought each other for living space, and grew stronger among each other in this treacherous landscape, and gradually formed a powerful nation, they called themselves Jiuli, and the Han people called them more Baiman. These people drank blood, wore animal skins, lived in caves, and ate blood-drenched raw meat. In such an environment, these people are strong and strong, and they are all warriors who can fight well, they can fight tigers in the mountains, and they can kill Jiao when they go into the water.

In these areas, the Tang Dynasty stationed armies one after another to defend against these barbarians from going out of the mountains to cause trouble. But there is still bad news from time to time. Because the army between the mountains and forests is not the opponent of the barbarians, they are familiar with the environment here, and they are all vigorous, the Tang soldiers wear armor between the mountains and forests, and they cannot defend against the ubiquitous poisonous insects and beasts, as well as the hidden arrows of the barbarians.

Now what makes Li Er angry is these barbarians, a few years ago, Sui Yu fled into this vast mountain, Xi Wang Yu also fled in, now these two forces have grown in each of these mountains and forests, ruling the barbarians in the mountains and forests, forming a force that should not be underestimated, these are beyond Li Er's expectations, these two remnants of the defeated generals, all of them occupied a big tribe between the mountains and forests, and then expanded wantonly, the entire vast Baiyue Mountains is their natural home field, and now they have formed an alliance and become the henchmen of the Tang Dynasty, and there are other intricacies intertwined in it, making the situation seem like a pool of muddy water, without the slightest clue. Li Er even suspected that there were some shady deeds in it.

This point, from the recent military report back, we know that all this is not so simple, these people now have equipment is actually greatly improved, from the beginning of the simple animal skin wrapping, holding a self-made bow and arrow in the hand dare to go down the mountain to burn and kill, plunder, to now form a stream of bandits, the body is no longer wearing a simple animal skin, but rough plate armor, although it is very rough, but it is also iron armor, greatly improving the defense ability, the weapon in the hand has also been replaced with a sophisticated longbow, There is also a long knife with a handle. All the changes have formed in this short period of time, forming an army with strong combat effectiveness. And under several confrontations, the Tang army actually had no way to deal with these people, which was simply a direct slap in the face to Li Er, and it was a snap.

"You people, tell me that my Datang army is several times larger than theirs, and the equipment on my body is better than theirs. Why can't you do anything about these rogues? Could it be that the commanders of my Datang army all grew up eating? Li Er's angry roar echoed in the Lizheng Palace, and no one dared to go out and touch the mold at this time.

"Also, who is behind these rogues? I'm going to see what they want to do. Now that Datang has appeared in a prosperous atmosphere, do they want to be happy if they want to plunge this great river and mountain into the flames of war? One by one, I shouldn't have let them go in the first place, and they were killed directly! Although Li Er knew who was behind these rogues, he had no direct evidence, these people were well hidden, which was also one of the things that made him feel aggrieved. (To be continued......)
