In fact, the eldest grandson Wuji saw it very clearly, although the eldest son came back, but the younger son was still in the south, so many places could still install their own people, not to mention that the eldest grandson Yunyi was now giving birth to a boy and a girl, it was really unclear, if he gave birth to a daughter, then the eldest grandson Chong could return to the battlefield at any time.

Originally, the eldest grandson Yunyi had been serving the eldest grandson Pingting, who knew that he was also pregnant, but the two aunts and nephews were transferred, and the two aunts and nephews were very harmonious with the women in Li Xiang's mansion.

Of course, in addition to the two women of the eldest grandson's family, Li Xiang's women also quickly got the news, Li Xiang's children came out one after another in the past two years, but the rest of the people didn't move in their stomachs, so these people were also very depressed, obviously it was rain and dew, but why was people's luck so good?

Of course, Li Xiang didn't have time to care about these things, mainly because the front line sent a report, and they had already met the main force of Prince Salaman.

Prince Salamatan was so arrogant that the hundreds of thousands of troops did not have any hiding, nor did they have any intelligence reconnaissance, and they actually rushed directly towards Shiguo City.

Of course, it is normal for people to do this, when Prince Salamatan is fighting abroad, it can be regarded as a god of war to kill all kinds of enemies, there is no chance to breathe, and now in his eyes, the army of the Tang Dynasty is nothing more than this, as long as we are not afraid of death when we fight, then this victory belongs to us after all.

So this guy directly entered the ambush circle of General Morun without any intelligence, that is, because we were not prepared, otherwise this knife would have been able to cut a bigger meat, and even so, it killed more than 20,000 of them, captured more than 10,000 people, and the losses of the Arab Empire would be more than 40,000.

"I said back then, this General Morun is not a fool, as long as we make good use of it, he is definitely a tiger general in the Western Regions of the Empire."

Whether Su Dingfang said this back then, Li Xiang has no way to verify, after all, this guy has indeed stayed in the Western Regions, and this victory in front of him is not a joke, this is a victory against the Arab Empire, and our losses are less than 3,000 people.

"In fact, in my opinion, it doesn't matter how many are captured and killed, one thing is the most important, that is, the rapid offensive of their Arab Empire, when they encounter us, it will not play much role, which has laid us with great confidence."

Niu Jinda can still see the essence through the phenomenon, and what he said is also the truth, take the current matter as an example, what Niu Jinda said made Li Xiang nod.

"Lao Niu is right, when there was no war before, we did not know much about the army of the Arab Empire, many soldiers were still beating drums in their hearts, and after these wars, they also knew how to deal with it, although these people came and went without a trace, but when they encountered the musket team, how to die or how to die."

Our support army has only left Chang'an not long ago, and now under the leadership of Ou Tuxiu, it has just arrived in the Longxi area, and has not really entered the Western Regions, which has come to such a victory, and after our support troops go up, it is estimated that Samarkand City will be in our hands.

Li Xiang is not thinking about how to defeat the Arab army now, but thinking about how to control all this region, if he continues to rule so loosely, it will not be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, the people of the Arab Empire can buy them, and if there is a strong neighbor in the future, they can still do such a thing, so this area must be controlled.

"Your Highness wants to send officials to the Western Regions?"

Li Xiang has marked it on the map, there are many cities in the 36 countries of the Western Regions, Li Xiang is preparing to set up the main cities now, the army and officials, to control these main places, and when the time is more ripe in the future, it is necessary to control all the places.

"I do have this idea, if I don't control it, this will always be a loose alliance, they can negotiate with the countries, and there will be no benefit to us when the time comes."

Li Xiang's words also made people on both sides nod, but this matter must be done by a careful person, if it is handed over to others, I am afraid that this effect will not be achieved, Li Xiang is also thinking about who will do it.

"I think Xiao is good at abiding by the rules, and his grandfather is good."

Su Dingfang suddenly remembered that when Sichuan was in a state of emptiness before, didn't this old man turn the tide in Sichuan? Now directly create a country of abundance, although these follow-up officials also have credit, but if there is no old man to open up the territory, how can they have the current rules? All the rules were left by Old Man Xiao.

"I'm afraid this won't work, the old man is old, and he can't toss it if he goes to Sichuan, if he goes to the Western Regions, this body can't hold on at all, and Xiao Shougui is still a little too tender."

When Li Xiang said this, the other two nodded, Xiao Yu's age is indeed not young, if there is any mistake in the Western Regions, then it will not be able to live with others, not to mention that this matter can not be ended in a day or two, at least you have to stay in the Western Regions for a few years.

When Li Xiang spoke, Zhang Jiuli happened to walk in from outside, this is also a ready-made candidate, but this person is guilty, and there is no way to go out to be an official, so he has to find some other cover.

Li Xiang is a doer, he does things very quickly, and he quickly settled this matter, and he wants to set up officials and troops in 19 cities in the Western Regions, and the number of people is not too small.

In the past, the Western Regions Protectorate was just a symbol, but now it must be actually set up, Zhang Jiuli will assist Xiao Shou rules, and the two will jointly establish the management agency of the Western Regions Protectorate, and make it clear that the areas under the control of each agency are where you are If something happens to you, then the imperial court will look for you.

As for what kind of officials to choose, it is a matter of Zhang Jiuli and Xiao Shougu, if something happens to the two of you who are chosen, then the two of you will also follow together to ask for the guilt.

Of course, this will indirectly increase the cost of the imperial court to manage the Western Regions, but it will never be the same situation as in the past, and if other countries want to buy the countries of the Western Regions, it will not be so simple.
