(There is a big bug, Jinyang City should be under the rule of Hedong, Lao Yan remembers wrong······ Although no one reported it, Lao Yan himself admitted his mistake and begged everyone to forgive him······ ）

Since escorting Li Qi back to Chang'an, Gou Sheng, a long-lost young eunuch, has been given another glorious task: to prepare a large-scale exposition to exhibit and trade the treasures that Liu Zongyuan had purchased from overseas. Since Li Yu made up his mind to separate politics and business, Liu Zongyuan's Municipal Envoy Department began to transition to the customs, only managing and collecting taxes, and the original overseas business of sea vessels began to be taken over by the Inner Government and the Zongzheng Government. In the past two years, Liu Zongyuan's rare treasures delivered to Chang'an have had a great response in the Chang'an market, and many wealthy families are embarrassed to say hello when they go out if they don't have a few seafood at home. More and more losers were ready to devote themselves to the ranks of buying seafood, and the wise emperor Li Xu, who judged the situation, ordered Liu Zongyuan to buy a batch of overseas treasures, and then take out some of them from the palace, and prepare to sell them after the autumn harvest, and take out the money bags of the second ancestors. This kind of pursuit of extravagance, which will be criticized by others, will naturally not come forward for the emperor.

Liu Zongyuan sent batch after batch of treasures to Chang'an, and Li Yu now began to feel that the distance between Lingnan in Fujian and the heart of the empire was a little far away. When Liu Zongyuan's first batch of treasures arrived, Li Yu took Queen Wang and Youning with a curious heart to admire, but what made him cry and laugh was that the most of the first batch of treasures was actually glass, and the high interest suddenly subsided, looking at Youning holding a large chain of glass beads, holding a glass bottle, very happy, Queen Wang pretended to be angry and said:

"Be careful, Hugh will break the treasure and make your father angry."

The tone is the same as that of a woman in the twenty-first century. After sleeping alone for a long time, Li Yu finally shared the bed with Queen Wang, although it was very pure, the queen's mood was obviously better than before. Hearing what Queen Wang said, Li Yu muttered:

"Five cents to buy a dozen or so, what treasures are there."

However, I regret that I didn't learn chemistry well, otherwise I wouldn't have let these Arabs cheat us out of money. However, the big coral and white ivory products still opened Li Yu's eyes, which were childish and simple, and had their own flavor. What's more, before the crossing, Li Yu had never seen such a high-end baby.

In order to promote the balanced development of Chang'an County and Wannian County, Li Yu decided to place the venue of the expo in Chang'an County, and of course Gou Sheng would select the site for construction in Jingzhao and Chang'an County. Of course, the hired manpower still comes from the eliminated soldiers, anyway, the inner government is now rich and doesn't care about money.

At present, most of the reorganization of the armies of the towns of Hedong, Heyang, Tiande, Jingnan, Hubei, Fengyi, Huainan, Chenxu, Yicheng, Xuanshu, Zhexi, Zhedong, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Lingnan, and Qianzhong has been completed, and the armies of 12 armies have been formed. Naturally, these tens of thousands of people have thrown themselves into the vigorous construction of water conservancy.

The Emperor's extraordinary foresight or crow's beak ability finally began to be experienced, and after the summer harvest, abnormal weather began to appear in the Jianghuai region, which had always been regarded as the lifeblood of the imperial court. The drought also appeared in the northwest region, where water conservancy construction had already been completed in Longyou, Guanzhong, and they were confident in coping with the drought, while areas outside the Tang Dynasty's control were not so happy, especially for those who had fled.

The fierce chase has been going on for more than half a month, and if you look all the way east from Taoshui, you will see dead people, war horses, cattle and sheep everywhere on the already dry and hard ground. Perhaps he was too shocked by this killing, God even forgot about the rain, Zhu Xie looked up at the sky, the strong sunlight stimulated him to dizzy for a while, and the air seemed to be melting. Zhu Xie sighed and wanted to find Zhu Xie Zhiyi, only to remember that Zhu Xie Zhiyi had changed the lead of the striker to open up a bloody road, called a leader, and said:

"Kill two horses."

For the people on horseback, the horse is their other half, and for the fugitive knight, the horse is their life. After more than ten days of fighting, the original 2,000 people had died batch after batch, and there were less than 500 people left, and the newly replenished soldiers were also batch after batch. Yesterday's fierce battle, although the defeat of more than 3,000 Tibetan cavalry, but he also suffered heavy losses, the original surplus horses were also attacked by the Tubo people, and more than 800 escaped. If you want to go back alive, a warrior must have a horse, but in such a hot weather, there is a vast wasteland around, and you can't find even a little shadow of water, so what can you do without killing the horse?

The Shatuo warriors silently pulled out two wounded Tubo horses from the herd, and the horses seemed to know their fate, desperately shrunk their necks and refused to step forward, and resistance was naturally ineffective. One by one, the Shatuo warriors stepped forward to receive the horse blood with a water bladder, and a personal soldier handed the horse blood to Zhu Xie Duzhong, who took a sip shallowly, the blood was red, like a fine wine, I really missed the wine of Ganzhou. What does that Han Chinese poem say? Grape wine luminous glass, want to drink pipa immediately urge. Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people came back to fight in ancient times? It's really suitable to write about Shatuo Hanzi.

Zhu Xie duzhong put the water bladder on his waist and said:

"Save some drink, we will be at Shimen in five or six days. After the stone gate, let's drink enough! ”

When it was about to get dark, Zhu Xie was loyal to camp on a high post with the remnants of less than a thousand people. Twenty miles to the east, across a dry river, is most of Shatuo, to the west I don't know how far there will be Tibetan pursuers. After eating something hastily, the soldiers found a place to sleep on their own, and the horses also found a place to graze, but the weather was dry, and even the grass became less and less.

Not long after Zhu Xie was asleep, he was woken up from his sleep, and just as he wanted to be angry, he saw the face of one of the leaders of the brigade. After putting the pro-soldiers on guard, the leader said two bad news, one is that Zhu Xie was loyal to defeat an infantry of the Tubo people in the evening, the appearance of the infantry means that the tail of the Tubo chasing the side attack interception gradually turned into an encirclement, and the other is the report of Zhu Xie Qingsuo, there are rumors inside Shatuo, saying that the drought and no rain these days is God's punishment for the Shatuo people to turn their backs on Tubo, so from the beginning of the chasing soldiers, it has never rained, and God will die of thirst for the Shatuo people.

Compared with the first news, Zhu Xie is loyal to the second one. Zhu Xidu, who couldn't take care of sleep, called a few leaders, gave a few orders, and rushed back to the brigade with dozens of people.

At this moment, looking down from the sky, whether it is Shatuo or Tubo, the direction of progress is pointing to Shimen. Even * is keeping an eye on it.
