Chapter 528: Northern Route

"What should be reported is still reported, and usually such words are said as little as possible."

Li Xiang threw down such a sentence and went out to patrol the camp, Li Shimin has been operating in Datang for a long time, if his people are so proud, sooner or later Li Shimin will catch the handle, although Li Shimin will not deliberately deal with Li Xiang now, but if someone treats Li Xiang as the emperor in advance, Li Shimin doesn't mind teaching these people a lesson, even Li Xiang can't save it at that time.

It took a few days, Xue Yantuo's people were also settled here, Li Xiang gave them a batch of tents and let these people fend for themselves here, except for the necessary food, you have to make the rest of the things yourself, we can't settle you well, after all, we were still enemies a few days ago.

Anggultai also understood what the Tang army was thinking, although they came to surrender, but how many people died in the last battle of Datang, they all knew it, and they were red in the eyes just now, and now you want people to treat you as a friend, is there such a good thing in the world? To be able to take you in this place and give you a bite to eat and drink is already magnanimous.

The soldiers and civilians below were also very satisfied, after all, if they continued to stay in Xue Yantuo's hinterland, they would probably not even have anything to eat, Xue Yantuo Khan had collected all the grain that should be collected, and it was impossible for anyone else to get food except for his own people.

On the twentieth day after these people came, Huo Qubing finally came from the south, in order to distinguish Huo Qubing in history, Li Xiang changed the name of this guy and asked him to change his name to Huo Tang, who is currently also the commander of the first battalion, with more than 2,000 people under his command.

Li Xiang didn't set off immediately, he was also waiting for this guy, this guy had an expedition to Mobei in history, and he was extremely familiar with the situation over there, although the time was different now, but the general situation was still about the same, if he really went on an expedition, Li Xiang had to take this guy with him.

"This is basically the situation on the Tuyuhun grassland, the grasslands of the major families are often attacked by some people, and now they are already trying to sell the grasslands, although they have also formed their own escort teams, but with little success."

Huo Quzhi said while eating.

When the grassland was auctioned at the beginning, the major families wanted to make a profit, and Li Xiang kicked them in, but Li Xiang didn't know that Li Xiang raised a bandit on the grassland, and these people took whatever they saw, but except for the grasslands of the major families, the grasslands of the other families were very safe.

The patriarchs of the major families also understood that they had fallen into Li Xiang's trap, but now it was too difficult to come up with, they thought that the grassland was the same as the Tang Dynasty was a place where rules were spoken, but how could Li Xiang talk to them about the rules? You occupy all kinds of advantages, and you almost grasp the politics of Datang.

Now that we have finally arrived in a new place, if we still live according to the previous rules, wouldn't we have worked hard in vain? So Li Xiang let them lose a good time on the grassland, which can be regarded as slowly cutting the flesh on your body.

In Li Xiang's heart, whether it is the five surnames and Qiwang or other major families, it is okay to make a little money, after all, thousands of miles of officials are only for money, but if you want to influence politics, it is definitely not allowed.

"How's the situation in Tibet? You've been on the grassland for a long time, and the grassland and Tibet are also next to each other, so you should be able to hear the wind over there, right? ”

Li Xiang can receive letters from Tibet every day, but as a high-ranking person, he can't let himself just listen to the information of one place, if this is the case, it is easy to be deceived, so all kinds of information must be collected, once he finds that something is wrong, Li Xiang has to send his own envoy to investigate.

"The war is still going on, it is said that those Tusi masters on the plateau want to be independent, but the Tubo court is unwilling, he has already transferred most of the army, but no one on either side can help anyone, you punch me and kick the two sides to engage in a tug-of-war, and they can fight twice a month."

Speaking of things on the plateau, Huo Qubing didn't care so much, after all, that place had little to do with him, except for a few words from the businessmen, no one cared at all, in the hearts of many Tang people, Tubo is an extremely poor place, it is said that many people there don't even have a complete set of clothes, why should we care about that place.

This is basically the same as the news that Li Xiang received, and now the toast masters from all walks of life have also been raised, they will never be able to bear to reconcile with the imperial court, the most important thing is that Li Xiang did not give them news, their sons are still staying in Chang'an City, how can they reconcile with the imperial court?

Songtsen Gampo has deep ambitions, and his subordinates stand up and rebel, if he doesn't suppress these people, it will be the biggest defeat in his life, so this war will definitely continue, and it is in Li Xiang's interests to continue the war before Li Xiang has not freed his hands.

"You come here to rest for a few days, and in another month, we will march north, only this time there is a chance to march, although Datang is prosperous, but the cost of sending troops to the north is too much, and the supply line is too long, we can only solve everything at once."

This is the most prepared battle that Li Xiang fought, in the past, he would start fighting wherever he went, and all kinds of preparations did not matter, but this time it was too far away from Chang'an City, and there was no way to obtain all kinds of supplies on the spot, so he must not fight a second time, and the financial crisis would come after a few more wars.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, your subordinates have the marching route in their minds and know how to go, and in the next month, there should be no problem for your subordinates to take people out to take a look."

In Huo Quzhi's memory, he is also extremely familiar with this place, but after so many years, no one knows what will change, so in the next month, Huo Quzhi will definitely not be idle, riding his fast horse to search for thousands of miles, to see what changes have occurred in the situation back then and now.

"Then you're going to have to work hard."

Li Xiang picked up his wine glass, and the master and servant touched a glass, Huo Quzhi is not the kind of person who pays attention to etiquette, and his respect for Li Xiang is also from the heart, more like a pair of friends, Li Xiang also enjoys this relationship.

Early the next morning, Huo Qubing set off with fifty cavalrymen, and Anggultai was still a little puzzled, doesn't the reconnaissance grassland need my people to take it?
