The Datang army in Anxi was not without rescue, but their help was really limited. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 According to the records of the first year of the reign of Zizhi Tongkan Tianbao (742), there were 24,000 soldiers in the Anzai Prefecture and only about 20,000 in the Beiting Prefecture. This record was still before the Anshi Rebellion, and now it has been thirty years since the record time of this era. In the past 30 years, the entire Tang Dynasty has been in turmoil, how can it take care of such a remote place.

Even at this time, the two Protectorates are desperately expanding their armies, how many people can there be? At its peak, there were only about 20,000 households. And there are only six or seven thousand households in Beiting, and the two vast areas are roughly estimated. There can be about 40,000 soldiers and about 80,000 civilians. Losing contact with Datang, the countries of the Western Regions naturally reborn against each other. And the constant suppression of chaos and bandits, little by little, the two major protectors have dried up their blood.

Moreover, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty .... How to say it, the combat conditions are too good. According to the Chinese army of one legion, there were four thousand people in total. There were more than 1,200 orderlies. Moreover, the individual equipment of the Tang Dynasty was quite luxurious, and if it was put in modern times, the individual soldier configuration was better than the United States, which was the first in the world. From weapons, armor, tents, to all kinds of tools, medicines, rations. Even the infantry of the Tang Dynasty took a carriage and got off the car to line up at the battle site.

And here in Sweet Water Gully, even if it's just a rout. Basically, everyone has a body of protection, and the bow and crossbow are complete. Otherwise, how dare they go out frequently to rob caravans, this is where the confidence lies. Of course, this is also where the morale of the Tang army lies.

After all the Tang troops came back with countless loot, the entire sweet water ditch was boiling. The mountains of grain and grass, not to mention this year, even within a few years, are enough for the entire Tianshuigou people to live. Yan Hanshui had a bandage wrapped around his lower abdomen, because it still hurt. I came out and looked at the countless loot and smiled happily.

In this sweet water ditch, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is also a water source. Even if it is besieged by Tibetan soldiers, don't think about taking it within a few years. Yan Hanshui thought about it and found Li Wei again. Since that battle, Yan Hanshui's reputation has obviously become higher and higher, and Li Wei also attaches more importance to Yan Hanshui's advice to him.

Of course, Yan Hanshui's first suggestion was to expand the defense of three city walls on the basis of the original two city walls in front and back. Each one is built according to the standard of this wall, that is, it is ten meters high and ten meters wide, and there are strong women on the inside. Be prepared to be discovered by the enemy and fight a protracted battle.

Li Wei thought about it and nodded in agreement. After all, this is a canyon, and although they are in the deepest part, sooner or later they will definitely be discovered. It's better to take advantage of the fact that there are enough manpower now to strengthen the defense.

Then there were the hundreds of women who were captured, which means that they were distributed among all the soldiers. The main problem that plagues the entire Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions is the population problem. Even Yan Hanshui was excited, and shouted out: "The slogan of more people is stronger." "Of course... Yan Hanshui still has to explain all this to Li Wei in detail.

There are now about 400 women in the entire sweet water ditch, counting these who were caught this time. And the males .... In addition to more than 400 combat strength, there are less than 100 people left. These people were mainly craftsmen, and there was no way to become soldiers. All the population is under forty years old, and there are only a few people over forty.

Yan Hanshui snapped his fingers and counted at Li Wei: "The men in your current group are all soldiers in their twenties and forties. There are only more than 50 children in the child, which is a very dangerous model. Let me ask you, what about another twenty years? When your soldiers are dead, how many people will be left in the entire Sweetwater Gully? Now you don't even have enough people to sustain the future generations, and in another 20 years, you will have to perish because of the aging of the population. ”

Li Wei pondered for a long time, and finally nodded: "You're right... But many of those women were wives and daughters of their compatriots who had died in battle. If they are allowed to marry other soldiers, how will they face their brothers underground in the future? ”

Yan Hanshui sighed: "Everything you do is for Datang." Even if those wives and daughters do come to the underworld in the future, I believe that your brothers will be able to forgive them if they talk about this matter. I believe that they died fighting for the Tang Dynasty, and after death, they would not want the place they guarded all their lives to become the Tubo Kingdom, right? Yan Hanshui deliberately used the Tubo Kingdom, she knew that this group of Tang soldiers was very arrogant and looked down on the barbarians of Tubo at all.

Li Wei gritted his teeth, and Yan Hanshui could see that he was struggling. Thereupon... Yan Hanshui also let out: "In this way, I led the swallow and personally persuaded from house to house." For women, we are to be able not to persecute or interfere with who we must marry. But for single women, try to arrange a high-ranking soldier of the Tang Army. And those who snatched it, distributed the good-looking orchids to the soldiers who had made meritorious achievements, and the rest of the Tibetan women were casual. ”

"That's fine." Li Wei nodded, if she really let such a big man say it, she would be a little unable to open her mouth.

However, Yan Hanshui continued: "I won't say anything about those foreign women, but if the woman who sacrificed for the Tang Dynasty remarries, but is bullied and insulted, this matter must be dealt with seriously." ”

At this point, Li Wei nodded immediately, and could let Yan Hanshui be in charge of supervising. In the end, Yan Hanshui sighed: "There are many people and great strength, if you soldiers don't leave some seeds, once you are all killed in battle, who can protect so many wives and daughters." Kindness... Yes, one more thing, men are 15 and women are 13 years old, and they can get married. This can be done to the maximum extent that the population of the entire sweetwater ditch can be filled. ”

Speaking of this, a strange expression suddenly leaked from Li Wei's eyes: "I said female doll, how old are you this year?" ”

"Huh?" Yan Hanshui suddenly found that he seemed to be tricked. She said with some embarrassment: "I'm eighteen...."

Li Wei directly changed from a general to an elder: "I said doll, you are eighteen, should you also get married?" Such... I have a son, whose name is Li Bin, who is also both civil and military, and has a superior appearance. By the way, you've met a few times, I wonder if you mean to? ”

The black line at the end of the smoke and cold water: "That... Ha... The weather is so nice today. By the way, I took the swallows to convince those young ladies. After speaking, Yan Hanshui didn't stop for a second, and ran out of the camp directly. If you stay here any longer, you will probably be forced to marry by this uncle.

Yan Hanshui now, the thought of a man makes goosebumps all over his body. No way, she used to be a man, and she knew men too well. Yan Hanshui held his chest with one hand and secretly shouted: "I'm straight, I'm straight!" Yes... Hurry up and find the white sandalwood girl, sure enough, in my heart, I still like girls. ”

And after Yan Hanshui left, Li Wei laughed: "Sure enough... No matter how strong she looks on the outside, once she talks about marriage, she will be a daughter. Alas... The righteous daughter of Lord Yizhou's assassin, I'm afraid that in her heart, there is more revenge mentality. That swallow... And this plan for today. It's really a female doll who can give everything for revenge, but at least it is certain that they are loyal to Datang. ”

"Let Bin'er try more, maybe you will like it." Li Wei smiled, and then also left the camp and went to find his son.
