The emperor changed from the mediocre Li Sanlang to Li Yunze.

The court, which was dominated by powerful eunuchs and traitors, also operated incorruptibly and efficiently.

The removal of the feudal towns alleviated the crisis of the border army becoming bigger, and the large-scale actions to benefit the people also gradually dissipated the resentment of the people.

At this time, Datang cannot be said to have done its best, it can only be said that it is getting better and better.

Li Yunze, who has worked hard, has been praised by countless people.

Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Changling, Wang Wei and others don't know how many poems they wrote to praise Li Yunze, as well as praise the Tang Dynasty, which was gradually flourishing at this time.

Even the children of Liyuan, who eat with their own crafts in various cities, are constantly creating and transmitting works about Li Yunze.

Of course, it must be a nice compliment.

After all, the people of Datang like to listen to this now.

The entire Datang has gradually stepped into a thriving track.

After Li Yunze's unremitting efforts, Yang Yuhuan finally had a son, and her depression could be regarded as disappearing.

It's just that Li Yunze is pulling his eldest daughter and holding his younger daughter very happily, and he doesn't care about his son at all.

After all, daughters are intimate little padded jackets, and most men are daughter slaves.

Of course, livestock that were accidentally reincarnated into the world does not count.

At this time, the population of Datang is also showing an explosive increase.

The people were given land, and cattle and horses were brought from the northland pastures at great expense as the main force of cultivated land, plus Li Yunze provided high-yield seeds and made soil and fertilizer, and the upper limit of feeding the population was greatly increased.

Of course, these are just the basics, and the real reason is that Li Yunze has reduced the pressure on the people's lives by taking a light account of his meager endowment.

With surplus food at home, they can feed more children.

And if we want to expand the income of surplus food, we need more fertile soil.

Ge Shuhan made good progress in Tianzhu, and in just a few years, he had a condescending impact and occupied a large area of territory.

The land here in Tianzhu is fertile and rainy, and the local people's will to resist is not strong.

It can be said to be an excellent place to farm.

The only difficulty is that the road is too difficult to walk.

The people who dragged their families and mouths wanted to reach Tianzhu through the plateau, and the losses along the way would be an unbearable price.

The only feasible route can only be to take Longyou, Hexi, Western Regions, Central Asia and then turn south into Tianzhu.

The route is densely populated, with plenty of food supplies, places to stay and rest, and most importantly, soldiers and horses along the way to escort you.

In the final analysis, it ultimately falls on the Western Regions and Central Asia.

In order to go to Central Asia, Li Yunze made extremely thorough preparations.

Not only did he immigrate to the Western Regions on a large scale, reclaiming the local area to provide military rations, but also harshly squeezing vassal tribes such as Hui, Turgish, and Gelulu, so that Yang Guozhong arranged cool officials to frantically ask for all kinds of livestock.

For several years in a row, it has continuously transported all kinds of military materials to the Western Regions, and stored them in the four towns of Anxi waiting for the arrival of the army.

The Forbidden Army of the Son of Heaven continued to expand in size, especially after the transfer of most of the northern border troops to replenish it, its combat effectiveness was greatly enhanced.

The expansion is mainly focused on the cavalry and the Mo sword soldiers, and the large-scale expansion of the cavalry is extremely costly, even with the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is a little scratchy.

Fortunately, the large-scale cultivation of alfalfa grass and soybeans has greatly alleviated this dilemma.

Time flies, and the thriving Datang Dynasty ushered in the tenth spring of Tianbao.

On this day, the court held a large court meeting, and the courtiers were reporting on matters related to this year's spring ploughing.

No one expected that at this time, Li Yunze, who was on the throne, suddenly asked, "Zhongqing, Gao Xianzhi said that he has won a big victory in the repeated confrontations with the black-clothed food in the past few years. But recently, the black-clothed food is about to move, mobilizing the main force to try to invade my Datang

。 ”

Li Yunze's eyes looked around at the ministers, and he slowly spoke: "I want to drive the expedition in person, expand the extreme west in one fell swoop, and recover the homeland of the Han Dynasty, Dawan, Wusun and other places. I wonder what Zhongqing thinks? ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent.

In the past few years, Li Yunze has been living in seclusion, and he has been busy cultivating offspring with Yang Yuhuan in the Daming Palace.

Under the comfort, the courtiers gradually forgot that this was a martial emperor who liked to fight.

said that he was asking everyone's opinions, but in fact, everyone knew that His Majesty's idea was very right, and since he said it, he had already made a decision.

At this time, all you have to do is to go along with it.

Finally, Li Linfu, who boiled Zhang Jiuling to death and successfully sat in the position of the first assistant to the cabinet, was the first to salute, "Minister, I wish Your Majesty a victory and success!" ”

With people at the beginning, the people behind will naturally follow.

Soon the hall will be connected into a piece of 'I wish Your Majesty a victory, and the horse will be successful~~~'

There are basically no fools who are courtiers.

When Li Sanlang waited for the reign of the faint monarch, he would naturally fish as much as he could.

When Sima Zhen and other sand sculptures were in power, they naturally had to reserve a good way out.

And hexagonal warriors like Li Yunze, just work obediently, and don't need to think about anything else.

Basically, as long as there is an emperor with such a hexagonal warrior, it must be in the midst of a prosperous era.

In the prosperous world, it is much easier to do anything.

Li Yunze nodded with satisfaction, it is much easier and more convenient to talk to these smart people and do things.

Sand sculptures are not qualified to appear in Li Yunze's court, unless they are used for amusement.

The next step is the government arrangement.

As in the past, it is still six cabinet scholars who are in charge of state affairs.

The six people discussed and resolved the small matter, and the major matter was sent to the front line for reporting.

As for someone proposing to make the emperor's eldest son the crown prince, and then use the prince to supervise the country or something, Li Yunze directly scoffed at it.

Just kidding, how many of the princes of the Tang Dynasty can have a good end?

It's still the old way of other worlds, and it's just a secret storage.

It doesn't matter if you can't be the emperor, Li Yunze will divide the rest of the princes to all parts of the world.

Naturally, it is impossible for the army to go on an expedition today and leave tomorrow.

It's like a million-strong army besieging a village, just watch it for fun.

In fact, as early as a few years ago, Li Yunze began to transport and hoard materials to the Western Regions, and most of the grain and grass were also solved locally in the Western Regions, simplifying too many tasks and steps.

But even so, it took more than a month to make the arrangement.

For the rest of the month, Li Yunze was not idle, but worked hard to harmonize with Yang Yuhuan, until Yang Yuhuan, who had already raised several princesses and princes, was happy again, and then officially set off.

The army set off from all over Guanzhong, and the teams pulled out a long long snake formation march.

The route is to take Longyou first, then cross Hexi, and finally arrive at the Anxi Duhufu along the Silk Road.

When leaving Chang'an City, Wang Wei, who was not selected to accompany him, wiped his tears and sent a farewell poem to his friends.

'Weicheng is light and dusty in the rain, and the guest house is green and willow-colored. ’

'Persuade you to have a glass of wine, and there is no one in Yangguan in the west. ’

Li Yunze, who watched this scene, smiled and motioned to everyone to drink together, "It is worthy of the wine in Wang Weishi, everyone, drink it!" ”

Everyone was drinking, but the court painter Wu Daozi was busy painting and painted this "Tang Emperor's Exit from Chang'an".

said goodbye to everyone and slowly traveled under the escort of the Yulin Army.

Left the prosperous Chang'an City and the rich Guanzhong Land.

Into the right of Long, there are mountains everywhere.

Crossing the river to the west, the mountains are higher.

It is better to enter the Western Regions, the desert is crisscrossed, and the Tianshan Mountains are majestic for Li Bai and the others It is a spectacular scene that has never been seen before.

There is no surprise that these great poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu, and Wang Changling have created one masterpiece after another.

When the time came to June of the tenth year of Tianbao, Li Yunze, who was in a hurry, finally came to Qiuzi City in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

Seeing this city, the first impression in Li Yunze's mind was those white-haired Tang troops decades later, who held on to the land of the Tang Dynasty and fought to the last moment.

"Fortunately, Lao Tzu destroyed Tubo, and you don't have to be overwhelmed by the Tubo people's tactics of crowds. This Western Regions is still ours after all. ”

Gao Xianzhi, who has heard his name for a long time, but is the first time he has seen it, and Feng Changqing, who was sent to do preliminary preparations a few years ago, and Gao Shi, who took the initiative to come to work in the Western Regions, is keen on his military career and followed Feng Changqing and others to the Western Regions together

Greet Li Yunze outside the city.

Many of them were the people of the original Shouwang Mansion, and they laughed and played with Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Changling and others who came with them.

In addition, there is also a heavyweight waiting for Li Yunze here.

"Minister, Beiting is the protector of the palace, Guo Ziyi, meet Your Majesty~~~"

In this magnificent era, how can there be no Tang Zhongxing famous general Guo Ziyi.

When Li Yunze was the crown prince of Shouwang, Guo Ziyi was already a high power, so it was naturally impossible to be co-opted.

When he led the team through the Xuanwu Gate and went to perform "King Qin's Breaking Array Music" for Li Sanlang, there would be no need to win over him anymore.

Li Yunze directly transferred him to Beiting and served as the Grand Protector of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate.

The so-called Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate is actually based on the Tianshan Mountains as the dividing line, the south of the Tianshan Mountains is the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and the north of the Tianshan Mountains is the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate.

The Western Regions is actually divided into two parts.

In this war with the black-clothed food, Li Yunze mobilized almost all the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, which shows how much attention he attaches to it.

In other words, it is difficult to settle the battle of Hengros in history.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have worked hard for the country."

Li Yunze on horseback was in high spirits, "Enter the city and speak." ”

In addition to the group of famous generals of Lingyan Pavilion at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the second batch of the strongest generals in the Tang Dynasty were all here with him at this time.

Above the lobby, Li Yunze first asked Gao Xianzhi about the movements of the black-clothed food.

"The enemy chieftain Khorasan Governor has gathered an army of 200,000 troops in the vicinity of Hengros." Gao Xianzhi replied: "The minister thinks that he should take the initiative. ”

Li Yunze nodded, and his gaze turned to Guo Ziyi, "Hui Hui, Tuqi Shi, and Ge Lulu and other departments have been mobilized?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty." Guo Ziyi responded with his hand, "After all the ministries received the holy decree, they all took action. Only the Turks delayed, and they were reluctant to send troops and livestock under various excuses. ”

"Since he is disobedient, then he will be flattened."

Li Yunze waved his hand indifferently: "You can do this when you go back." ”

"Yui."

After some conversation, Li Yunze stood up and said, "This battle is a key battle to open the sea to the extreme west, only victory, not defeat!" ”

The generals promised in unison, "Only!" ”
