The main force of the Great Food Country Expedition was destroyed, and the remaining guerrillas were no longer worried, Li Ji did not run back to Chang'an to accept the reward with joy, but led the army to continue towards the countries that the Great Food had occupied, and the small Central Asian countries such as the Great Food Country, such as the Great Food Country, expressed their allegiance to the Tang Dynasty for the first time, while the small countries such as the Khan Baguo sent troops to the Tang Dynasty picked up their tails, abandoned the capital, and fled all the way to the west.

For three whole months, Li Ji's army was constantly advancing, the big and small Bolu, Huangjiasi, and Tuqishi, these famous countries on the Silk Road, in front of the well-equipped Tang army, bought the power of a war at all, Li Ji's army once hit the Aral Sea Valley, and the front was the country of Qiuzi, at this time Li Jicai ordered the whole army to rectify, and used the sword given by Li Eryu to carve the mark of the Tang people on the boulder of the Aral Sea case, and ordered the craftsman to build a monument and erect a legend.

In the rear of Li Ji's army, the city of Lhasa, which was guarding the dangerous pass, has now become another 'small Chang'an city' in Central Asia, and when the caravan of Xujiazhuang arrived there with a huge number of merchants, Li Ke was already smiling, these merchants were the big golden pigs he built Lhasa.

When the merchants arrived at this plateau city occupied by the Tang Dynasty, they were also excited and couldn't sleep at night, although this place looked like a desolate place, but if you look closely, this place is actually full of gold.

The snow lotus flower that is more than fifteen years old, this thing is placed in the pharmacy in Chang'an, it is the treasure of the town store, and in Lhasa, the cliff grows everywhere, as long as the warrior is tied to the rope and goes to the cliff to collect for a while, he can grab a handful.

The consumption of cattle in Tibet is a major feature, and this kind of livestock cannot be cultivated. However, it is most suitable for beef cattle. Herds of cattle. As long as you hold a pound of salt, you can exchange two or three heads from the herdsmen, and now Chang'an eats beef jerky, and countless ploughing cattle have fallen to death, if there is such a beef cattle as a substitute, those businessmen no longer know how much money they can make.

Compared with the first two, there is also this more valuable thing in Tibet, that is, labor.

Barbarians are inherently ignorant. When they see the Tang merchants covered in silk and dressed in Luo Qi, they will instinctively envy and worship, at this time, as long as they promise a little and send a few catties of fragrant rice, these Tubo people will follow you without knowing it.

In this way, the merchants from Chang'an hired more than 30,000 Tibetan laborers, gave them new clothes, and provided them with food. Let them go to the various pits found in Tibet to mine and collect mineral deposits, and pay them a consistent amount of money every month. Therefore, these merchants received the admiration of all the people of Tibet.

However, no one knows that if in Chang'an, no one is willing to do the labor force that makes it twenty-five yuan a month, and these businessmen are now hiring these people to work for them at a very low price, and invisibly, they are also eating the country bit by bit.

'Capital is always dirty, and if Datang wants to have a lot of capital quickly, then there is only one way to go. This is what Xu Yang said at the Governor's Council, "Capital is bloody exploitation, if you don't exploit the Tang people, then exploit the foreigners." When Xu Yang said this, the imperial historians of the Supervision Yuan were shaking angrily.

A white-bearded old man pointed at Xu Yang's nose and scolded angrily, how did Confucianism come out with such an unabashed, and Xu Yang glared back with a cold eye, and the sentence 'This county Hou Nai Shi came out of the Ghost Valley' made the old man speechless, for these pedantic old men, their so-called morality, what was exchanged after a thousand years, Xu Yang didn't want to mention more.

He entertained those envoys sent by the Japanese State to the Tang Dynasty and taught them all the scientific and technological innovations, but in exchange for the artillery blowing up the country, the slaughter of 300,000 people under the city of Nanjing.

Huge sums of money were spent on subsidizing those poor and backward small Vietnamese countries, but later the US imperialists turned their guns on China's borders with just a little bribe.

There is often no absolute right or wrong in this world, especially between countries, there is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests, after the indoctrination of later generations, Xu Yang has already thoroughly understood this unbreakable truth; That is, big fists are the last word.

As long as the fist is big, standing on the reasonable side can maintain your own justice, if there is no fist, even if you are righteous, no one will recognize your justice, in the eyes of others, it is not as convenient as robbery.

Tubo has been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er painted a piece of the globe in Nuoda very early, and now in addition to Europe and Africa, his globe is already full of golden light, Li Er's ambition, according to the eyes of later generations, he seems to have a slight paranoia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, so he will not tolerate that golden globe has other colors besides the ocean.

Therefore, the caravan from Xujiazhuang arrived in Lhasa City at the same time, as well as Li Er's holy decree.

This is the reason why Li Ji did not return to Chang'an, he had long expected that Li Erhui would order him to continue to expand the territory, while the soldiers were not sluggish and their morale was high, the true style of the Tang army was like a bamboo.

Li Ji also did it, the speed of the Tang army's advance was almost no different from that of a rapid march, destroying three countries and surrendering more than ten cities, this kind of record would be overshadowed even by the military god Li Jing.

Steel armor firearms are the fists of the Tang Dynasty, and Xu Yang wants to snatch more advantages when his fist is the largest, so in the secret letter to Li Ji, he asked Li Ji to launch an offensive in Central Asia early, so that maybe the Anshi Rebellion will not be staged in the future, maybe the Battle of Yashan will not see the scene of 100,000 Han people throwing themselves into the sea, and maybe you won't hear the slogan shouted by the Manchu Qing when they entered the customs......

On the Chinese New Year's Eve in Chang'an, Xu Yang sat on the steps in front of the mansion, looking directly at the bright moon in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chang'an City is brightly lit, even half of the sky is reflected red, the home is very lively, three wives and concubines, three sons, two daughters, plus the one in Liu Mengli's belly, a big family of people don't need to create, there is a New Year's atmosphere.

Liu Dongliang is giving red envelopes to his grandchildren, and the old lady is trembling with the support of his subordinates to the ancestors of the Liu family and the ancestors of the Ghost Valley.

There are children's laughter everywhere, Guanghua, the child is more naughty than his two elder brothers, and he is clamoring to go outside to light firecrackers, and Jingshi is shouting to eat rice balls.

Liu Qi looked at the old man sitting on the stairs with some concern on his face, he didn't know why the old man was suddenly silent, but as a domestic servant, he knew what to do at this time, standing quietly behind Xu Yang, waiting for the master's orders.

"Let's go." Xu Yang suddenly got up, patted the dust on his body, and regained that familiar smile on his face. "Let their dad come and give them firecrackers and eat rice balls!" …… (To be continued......)
