When the Tang Dynasty's recital was transmitted back to Chang'an, the right minister Wei Jiansu wanted to suppress it, but Li Linfu had gained a lot of benefits from the Tang Dynasty and was already a raccoon dog, so he naturally hurried to report this great victory to the emperor and personally went to the Huaqing Palace to report the news to Li Longji, who was holding Yang Yuhuan.

Li Longji has never shied away from suspicion of old ministers like Li Linfu, and he also wants to use this to increase his feelings to show his trust in them.

But where did Li Linfu dare to look up to see some places that should not be seen, his eyes were fixed on the ground, and he reported to him the great victory of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions.

"Li Aiqing, I know, you step down!" As soon as he heard this, Li Long's basically good mood immediately turned bad.

During this time, the girl of the princess of the soul always came to Li Longji to intercede, pestering him to transfer the Tang Dynasty back to Chang'an, or wanted to go to see her husband in the army of the Western Regions, soft and hard grinding, plus Yang Yuhuan was a helper next to her, and suddenly made this merry emperor anxious, and wanted to let go of the Tang Dynasty, but she couldn't bear the shame of being defeated by him, and wanted not to let him go, but this kid didn't make a mistake for a long time.

Mother, is this kid a god, he actually defeated the powerful horse thief with a mere 10,000 troops, Huo hurt this person, he has heard from time to time, he is a powerful person, he didn't expect to be killed by the Tang Dynasty, the horse thief is flat, the countries of the Western Regions can be regarded as a peaceful life, and, what is even more incredible is that the new Turkic Khan Xingan actually signed a non-aggression pact with the Tang Dynasty, what is going on?

Oh, I know, this is a strategy to delay the army, the new Turkic lord, afraid of changes in the country, so temporarily signed a treaty with him, I know that Xu Liesheng is a cunning person, after finding out the situation, how can he not send troops, defeat the horse thieves, although powerful, but these are not regular troops, no different from bandits, they are not capable, but how can the Khitan people help the horse thieves first and then help the Tang Dynasty, it is really a bit strange, I need to go down and check it well.

Gao Xianzhi's army naturally had Emperor Li Longji's meticulous work, and the slaughter of Khitan towns naturally could not be concealed from Li Longji's ears and eyes, but he originally wanted to make trouble for the Tang Dynasty, and Gao Xianzhi could be said to have done him a small favor, so he did not pursue it.

Li Longji bathed in the Huaqing Pool, closed his eyes, and let Yang Yuhuan hammer his slippery skin, thinking of ways to deal with the Tang Dynasty, and finally summed it up, hum, this kid has only passed a small test now, and the real test is still to come, but you can't be soft-hearted Listen to the words of this girl Xinling, hum, if you dare to disobey me, if you can't concoct him well, it will seem that I am incompetent.

At this time, Yang Yuhuan's greasy skin and Li Longji rubbed together tightly, and sighed incomparably in his heart: San Lang What's the matter, it seems that the years can't hurt him, if he changes to someone else, he is already in his sixties, and he is already muscle loose and old, but now he is full of muscles, and his whole body is as smooth as a woman, compared with a young man like Shouwang, it is not inferior!

This is really a strange man, at such an old age, why is he still so powerful in all aspects, especially in some aspects, so that a young and demanding woman like me can feel difficult to cope, why is this?

"Aifei, what are you thinking?" Li Longji looked at Yang Yuhuan's red face, as if he could see through his heart at once, and hugged her gently.

So, in the clear Huaqing Pond, the clouds and rain are turning, and the waves are playing, of course, except for Gao Lishi Gao Gonggong, who is fortunate enough to see this scene of Pisces play, no one else can see it-

As expected by the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji rewarded him lukewarmly, there was no substantial benefit at all, the grain and grass were sufficient, there were definitely no reinforcements, everything had to be solved by himself, the Khitan king Yelu Xiongzi led the troops back to his tribe, and said to the Tang Dynasty when he left: "The Khitan and the second brother, life and death are shared, and in the future, whenever there are difficult things, the Khitan will definitely go to the country!" ”

The two hugged goodbye, the Tang Dynasty felt a little at ease, the Western Regions can be called a big country, Tianzhu and Persia and the Great Eclipse are the brunt, but they are far away, friction often occurs, and the Tang Dynasty large-scale wars are very rare, after all, the Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu have the danger of the Tianshan Mountains, and the Persian Eclipse is separated by the powerful Turks, the Turks and these two countries are often at war, and the Tang Dynasty can not directly war with these two countries, so the current situation has not changed, and the Turks are still the biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, there are also Xi and Hui who have the ability to compete with the Tang Dynasty, but the Xi and Nuzhen are both relatively peaceful and not as belligerent as the Turkic Khitans.

In fact, this is also the reason why the national strength of these two small countries is not strong, living a simple slave society, not yet as civilized as the Khitan and Turkic, living on nomadism and trade, even if there is a war, most of the time it is in self-defense, privet and privet, in fact, it is because the women of the Jurchen nation are often robbed by Han people and horse thieves, so the clan takes women's chastity very seriously, and has high requirements for women, and many women often commit suicide after being robbed, which has won fame, of course, The privet people later migrated to the Altai Mountains and the Tanggula River, which were rich in water and grass, and gradually developed their power, only to change their name to Jurchen and establish a powerful Jin and Qing Dynasty.

After thinking about it for a long time, Tang Dynasty knew that there was no other way than to retrain his soldiers well, if I recruited troops privately, according to my current strength, it was okay, but Li Longji knew that he would inevitably be accused of rebellion, so he had to give up.

Originally, Li Longji also cut off the grain and grass, and it stands to reason that he should have been stretched thin, but the Tang Dynasty had strong financial resources, and when he was in Lingnan, he got a lot of gold and silver deposits, and he was rich enough to rival the country, and it was not a problem to receive grain and grass, but the consumption of 10,000 troops was also huge, and the Tang Dynasty was in the camp at this time to discuss the matter of food and salary with the generals such as Niu monks and children, after all, sitting on the empty mountain, an army of 10,000 people eating and drinking, it was still quite scary, although the Tang Dynasty scolded Li Longji and his mother behind his back, but in the face of difficulties, he did not want to be arrested.

The Tang Dynasty sat down in the Chinese military tent, and his eyes swept over the generals under the seat one by one like a tiger, and suddenly said with a calm expression: "I called everyone here today, just let you talk about how to solve the problem of food and salary, as long as you can raise food and salary, Anxi will be as stable as Mount Tai, I am convinced that it will not be long before the caravan of the Tang Dynasty will quickly enrich us, so that we can rest easy, what can you do, just say!" ”

At this time, the Tang Dynasty and the horse thieves were at war, and the caravans of the Tang Dynasty were stranded at Yanmen Pass to watch the wind, so the Anxi Protectorate did not have the slightest income and faced an embarrassment.

A Tang army general said: "In my opinion, it is better to go out directly to fight the grass valley according to the time when the tall and handsome were in the past." ”

As soon as he said this, many people immediately echoed it, obviously wanting to go out to fight the grass valley.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty knew that the so-called grass and grain beaters were those who went out to rob, grab grain, rob gold and silver, rob women, and after returning from the grass valley, they handed over more than half of their property to the marshal, and the rest were divided among these soldiers one by one.

Therefore, as soon as they heard about the grass valley, these generals came to their senses, knowing that when the Tang Dynasty gave an order, gold and silver treasures and women would come to them and live happily.

Tang Chao sneered, what is the difference between such a troop and a robber, although he has always known that the Turkic soldiers are not paid, they all live by fighting grass and valleys, one by one like wolves and tigers, knowing that this is also a popular method of raising food and salary in the Western Regions at that time, but he did not think it was different, his face was solemn at the moment, but he did not immediately reprimand, to see if there was any other way, if it really didn't work, then he had to be a robber like Huang Fengshan.

After a few words of gossip, Niu Monk and Child spoke: "In my opinion, although it is feasible to fight the grass valley, but after all, it can only be done once a year and a half, otherwise these people will not be able to get any oil and water, not the fundamental plan, the fundamental plan is to restore the trade routes in the Western Regions, so that a large number of caravans can go to the Western Regions to trade, in this way, we can collect objective past taxes, this is a huge income, it just so happens that now the Anxi Protectorate does not have many troops, we don't need to be like the most prosperous time, As long as one-tenth of the former caravans continue to operate the Silk Road, the food and salary of our army will not be a problem, and when the time comes, the imperial court will ask where our tax revenue goes, and naturally we can prevaricate on the grounds of turmoil in the Western Regions. ”

Almost all of them nodded and applauded, and the Tang Dynasty also admired in their hearts, this plan is good, this is the long-term plan, every day to fight the grass valley, and scare the people on the border away, so what to do in the future?

Moreover, in the heart of the Tang Dynasty, he was appointed as the protector of Anxi with the mentality of reforming the maladministration of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, why would he be angry with Li Longji, and be the protector of Anxi who has no soldiers and no food, and spend his own money as a military salary?

He often thinks that I am a traverser, of course there should be the uniqueness of a traverser to transform the backward Tang Dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty was the most powerful country in the world at that time, with a high degree of feudal civilization, in its eyes, it was full of loopholes, and there were still 108,000 miles away from capitalism, not to mention socialism and **.

He has a wish, even if he can't transform the Tang Dynasty into socialism, but he can do it by himself by properly breaking through the feudal system and developing capitalism. As the emperor of the Tang Empire, of course he didn't want anyone to be able to compete with him in all aspects, instinctively, he felt that the Tang Dynasty was a threat to his status, and he didn't just feel jealous of this person, there were deeper reasons in it-

"Okay, I have decided to send Niu monks and children to Yanmen Pass, dredge the stranded caravans, immediately restore the traffic of the Silk Road, and never mention the matter of fighting the grass valley, otherwise, military law will be engaged!" The last majestic proclamation of the Tang Dynasty.

In his life, what he hated the most was the kind of officer who was a robber and a soldier who was a robber. Of course, he knew that this would make the sergeant very uncomfortable, especially the soldiers who used to fight the grass valley were very depressed, but he was determined to rectify and establish the image of the Anxi Protectorate in the countries of the Western Regions, and did not want all of the Western Regions; The officers and soldiers of the common people are all robbers like Huo Zhen!
