Of course, the war can make our victory more secure, but you also have to look at where it is, especially in the Mobei grassland, if you rely on all the fighting, then this war will not end in two or three years.

The grassland is full of thick snow, when Li Xiang got on the horse, Long San handed over a black cloth strip, this thing wrapped his eyes, only in this way will not hurt his eyes, otherwise he will soon not be able to see the surrounding things clearly, people in this world don't know how to explain, but they know how to prevent it.

Li Xiang knew that this was the so-called snow blindness, this kind of thing often appeared in the snow, and other people around him also wrapped their eyes, and they were not as good as they were on ordinary roads, so they had to be fully prepared.

"Your Highness, you better go back, although it is not snowing and the sun is out now, but the road is very muddy, if something happens, there is no way to explain to the court, isn't it just a bunch of people who have come to surrender? Just go down and bring them back, and it's not too bad for seven hundred miles. ”

Su Dingfang said with some concern, although Li Xiang also rolled over from the battlefield, Su Dingfang still felt that Li Xiang should not suffer from this, these generals below them were specifically doing this, why let the boss follow?

"I've never seen the grassland after the snow, so I think I'm going to see the scenery, not to mention that if something happens, I don't have to ask you to ask me, I can give them a direct reply, now many things are fast, the distance of seven hundred miles before and after, even if you use the fastest speed to send a letter, it may delay things."

What Li Xiang said is also the truth, everyone knows the situation on the grassland, there is too much time to delay coming and going, who makes this grassland so big, so if you want to decide something important, people must be on the spot.

Li Xiang brought 3,000 cavalry this time, but Su Dingfang was not worried about Li Xiang's safety, we have already seen Xue Yantuo's combat effectiveness, with the 3,000 cavalry behind us, we can definitely kill them on their backs, and we can also ensure that they have no strength to fight back.

"Our Highness is benevolent and righteous, obviously they are all a bunch of broken households, and they have to go so far to pick them up, you give the order to go down and prepare hot meals for them, you don't need to prepare too good, just be full, I don't know what kind of goods these guys are."

Looking at the back of Li Xiang leaving, Niu Jinda also gave the order, in Niu Jinda's opinion, it is too much to exalt these people, what kind of character is our Royal Highness Taisun, that is the number three person in our entire Tang Dynasty, you people are all untouchables of small vassal states, how can you be compared with His Royal Highness our Taisun?

With Niu Jinda's words, the cooks below also know how to prepare, as long as they can be fed, there is no need to use their brains to let them eat well, if it is our own soldiers, His Highness's order is still hanging there, not only to be full, but also to eat well, if the soldiers reflect more dissatisfaction, you cooks are ready to go home.

After walking out for about an hour, Li Xiang felt the coldness of his arms and legs, the temperature here had reached minus 30 degrees, and there was a white expanse everywhere.

If it was in the Central Plains, it would have been a day to travel seven hundred miles, but now it was on the grassland, and it was snowing heavily, and it was less than four hundred miles that day.

This means that tomorrow another two hundred miles will be able to meet, although Li Xiang has not yet controlled the entire Turkic steppe, but after defeating Xue Yantuo's people, Li Xiang sent people to set up a guard in the border area, and also built one post station after another on the Turkic steppe, which is like the blood vessels on the Turkic steppe, constantly collecting the surrounding news.

There are not a lot of things that the post station always has, but these thousands of people are all out with food, and there are all kinds of simple tents, so there is not much rush that night, everyone sleeps in warm tents, the post station only needs to be responsible for Li Xiang's meals, and everyone else cooks by themselves.

"A dozen of you have worked hard."

There are a total of fifteen soldiers in the post station, Li Xiang is to eat with them tonight, before the meal, Li Xiang first raised his wine glass, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty is based on these people to insist, especially in places like vassal countries, they are far away from the mainland, guarding the country for the entire Tang Dynasty.

"Your Highness."

These people are full of excitement, they have been stationed here for a month, originally thought that they might be forgotten here, but they did not expect that His Highness actually went to the north to inspect, and also passed by their station.

After drinking this glass of wine, everyone also opened their chatterbox, and there were originally a few people who seemed a little restrained, but they didn't expect His Highness to be so easy-going, and these people were not so nervous.

There are a total of seventy-one such post stations on the grassland, their task is to collect the surrounding news, and on behalf of the Tang Dynasty Imperial Court standing here, we used to only have this place in name, but after Li Xiang laid down here, he was ready to implement substantive management, although he still had to rely on the heads of the tribes, but also had to let the herdsmen on the grassland know that there was an office in the lobby not far from you, and the post station was not only to deliver letters, but also to help you sue.

According to the policy formulated by Li Xiang, the monthly salary of these soldiers who worked far away from their hometown and in such a place was 1,500 yuan, which was fully double the money of the post station in the interior, and in addition, the family members could also get 20 catties of wheat every month, which would be delivered directly to their homes by the local yamen.

The reason why many people work here is also because their families lack money, and working here can save all the money, eat and drink without spending money, and the money issued by the imperial court can be handed over to the family in full.

But the work here is not so idle, there are not many letters coming and going every day, but there are nine tribes around, and they have to regularly write the news of these nine tribes into excerpts, and then send them directly to several yamen in Chang'an, which can be said to be a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty......
