"Lord Lu, please rest assured, this matter is already numbered, I will gather all the people when I go back, and then ask Lord Lu to send someone to the front line."

King Nanzhao looked at this guy in front of him and got angry, to put it bluntly, he was the original faction, and the new Lord Duhu was a new powerful faction, and there were often various conflicts between the two sides, but this order was given by Li Xiang, and the responsibility in the middle was also very obvious.

The two sides did not talk more than half a sentence of speculation, so there was nothing to talk about, and after saying this most important thing, the two sides left directly from here, there was no need to continue to greet each other, and everyone could see the future hostility.

As for the common people of Nanzhao, many of them were reluctant to become soldiers, but under the persuasion of the armor chiefs from all walks of life, they could only make up these 3,000 people in the end.

It's true that you don't want to go, but have you thought about it? If we don't make up these 3,000 people, how will the Tang Dynasty court view us? What kind of responsibility do we have? Can we afford it?

The Tang Dynasty is now in full swing, and the surrounding countries have been conquered by them, once the conscription order is issued, then we must implement it, if you don't do this, then there is naturally a way to clean you up, the officials of the Tang Dynasty will be punished, and when he is rewarded, who will he be angry with? It's definitely us aborigines.

The main locations and transportation arteries of the whole country are the army of the Tang Dynasty, once they start to catch the strong men, it will be equivalent to tearing the face, no one will ever talk to you so well, the army of the Tang Dynasty kicked open the door of your house and took away your family's labor, which all requires a cost, who is responsible for this cost? If you are not the local people, the taxes will become higher and your family's remaining assets will be less.

At that time, I am afraid that some people will take the initiative to become soldiers, because the family will not have enough to eat, and they will be able to eat a full meal in the army, but if you go to the army to eat a full meal, the burden on your family will increase a lot, and you can ensure that the rest of your family can eat enough?

After thinking about these things, these officials under King Nanzhao also began to explain to the people, so what we can do at this stage is to carry out His Highness's orders well, which is a good thing for everyone.

Looking at the thousands of miles in front of him, King Nanzhao's heart was also uncomfortable, but there is no regret medicine in this world, since you have taken this step, then the rest of the road has to be finished with tears.

The army marched south

When Li Xiang set out from Chang'an City, there was only a team of more than 1,000 people, but when he left Nanzhao, this team was already 7,000 people.

Just letting them train in the rear will definitely not play a big role, and it may even bring all kinds of wealth and diseases, so that they can experience it on the battlefield, and they will know what they are training you for, and they must let you know the bloodshed on the battlefield.

Only in this way can they understand that Datang is actually not so stable, and many soldiers in the rear feel that it is very peaceful now, and there is no need to maintain so many troops, but how did the prosperity of Datang come about now? Isn't it all through one war after another? In the most prosperous moments, we cannot afford to give up our armaments.

"Can you stand it?"

Li Xiang looked at Du Aitong lying on the ground.

"Your Highness."

Hearing Li Xiang's voice, this guy got up from the ground in one go, and then saluted Li Xiang with great difficulty, it has been more than 20 days since he left Chang'an City, and this ass is almost on the back of a horse, he used to think that it was at least a very beautiful thing, but now he really doesn't want to ride a horse at all.

Just as the two were talking, Wei Shuyu also came over, seeing that his situation was not much better than Du Aitong.

The two of them are like brothers and sisters at the moment, seeing the expressions on each other's faces, they also know that they have suffered a lot along the way, but then again, this can be regarded as an increase in life experience, when they were in Chang'an City, I heard that the people who followed His Highness on the expedition had a good home, and the two of them were also unconvinced, and they used to fantasize that they would follow His Highness on the expedition, but now it has come true? I just didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Fortunately, they are in good health, and they have been fighting for a period of time in the camp in the south of the city, if there is no such time, I am afraid they will not be able to hold on for a long time, and the more than 20 children of the family who followed Li Xiang on the expedition, half of them can no longer hold on, and they have all been sent back.

"Come and sit down, it's very difficult for you to persevere, it's normal for your legs to be weak at this time, as long as you follow me to Vietnam, then your body will basically be able to accept this kind of rapid march, in our Tang army, down to an ordinary soldier, up to me and the emperor, you must have such ability, if you can't even hold on to this, just like them."

Li Xiang pointed to a few carriages in the distance and said, there are people who are ready to go back to Chang'an, these people really can't hold on, it's not that Li Xiang didn't give them a chance, as long as you stick to Vietnam, then you will have a good future, but you people can't hold on, then there is nothing to say, in this case, hurry up and go back.

The two looked at Li Xiang's fingers, there were still a lot of acquaintances in it, those people were the same as them, they got rid of their family relationship and entered the army, but unfortunately the body couldn't stand it, many people's faces were already pale, if they continued to take them, it would also be a kind of destruction to their bodies, if they died in the barracks, I am afraid that Li Xiang also needed to explain to some people.

In fact, people's roads are like this, how much pressure you can bear, then your achievements can be better, how much effort you can put in, and your success can go further, but if you can't even stand the long-distance march, then you can't blame Li Xiang for not giving you a future, including your parents in the capital also understand that you are not that material at all.

Just when the two of them were looking at these people, there was also a meal brought by someone next to them, and Li Xiang was actually going to eat with them???
