Chapter 1307 Everyone wants to follow

Hearing Li Xiang's words, Cheng Luan couldn't stop crying. In front of outsiders, she was the mistress of Admiral Tiance's mansion, and she could never let others see that she was weak at all.

But the most intolerable thing is Li Xiang's soft words. Once she is pulled into Li Xiang's arms, she is also a weak little girl. After all, she is not yet twenty in terms of age.

"It's mainly because of the change of seasons, so I don't eat much. It'll be fine after a while. Your Highness has so many national affairs, so you don't have to worry about me. I heard that this time it's because of the Western Region." matter?"

When talking about this matter, Cheng Luan felt a little more comfortable. His two brothers were in charge of the Western Region. No matter how big the matter was this time, they could increase the weight of his family.

The brothers of Changsun's family are also shining brightly in the south, which is also a worry for Cheng Luan.

I originally thought that only my biological brother could lead troops in war, but now it seems that I was really careless. The brothers of the eldest son's family were also good at fighting. Although eldest son Wuji was a civil servant, in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the children of powerful people basically Shangdu will practice martial arts, and the brothers of the eldest grandson family are no exception.

When the elder Sun Ze was making mischief in the capital, no one took this kid seriously, but after being trained by Li Xiang, he became a general in the army, and he was not bad at doing things, no matter it was Nanzhao is still the Piao Kingdom, and everyone has merits they can claim.

This is tantamount to stealing Cheng Luan's retreat. He originally thought that the army was his rear area, but after the Changsun brothers rose up in the army, Cheng Luan's pressure became even greater.

"A powerful enemy has appeared in the west, so I have to go there in person this time. However, your brother responded in time, so I don't have to rush on the road. I have to see the next result."

Li Xiang deliberately showed great sadness in front of his wife. This was also to make these people feel more distressed. He himself must not just start a fire in the harem. There is nothing he can do about it. In the past, Li Xiang never took it seriously. I brought these troubles to my home in the hope that these women could live happily, but now it seems that is far from the case.

It was also the first time that Cheng Luan saw Li Xiang's frown, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart. After all, the fight during this period was not only caused by Sun Pingting, Cheng Luan himself also contributed to it. Seeing Li Xiang acting like this Sadly, Cheng Luan came out of Li Xiang's arms and pulled Li Xiang into his arms.

"Your Majesty, you have been working hard on the journey. It's better not to think about these things and rest early."

After Cheng Luan finished speaking, he immediately asked his men to prepare bath water. Li Xiang had indeed worked hard all the way, and then met the emperor and the prince in the palace. He was indeed very tired now.

Originally, a breakup was better than a wedding, and there should be some entertainment in the evening, but Li Xiang was so tired that he slept with Cheng Luan in his arms all night, and only woke up when the rooster crowed the next day.

After getting up and having breakfast, Li Xiang found that the women at home were starting to arrange the scene.

Some people either fly kites in their yards, or start playing guzheng, or even some raise small animals. These people have only one purpose, and that is to make Li Xiang feel curious, and then come to their yards. go.

Li Xiang didn't know what to say about what these people thought, so he could only watch.

But everyone discovered one thing, that is, although Li Xiang is at home, his heart should still be on the battlefield. After all, Li Xiang goes to the front every day and specifically asks about the situation in the Western Regions, so even if It was Li Xiang who stayed at home and was most concerned about things on the front line and the battlefield.

It’s no wonder that the Arab Empire was powerful, and the Tang army actually failed in that war in history. Although the Arab Empire suffered a tragic victory, they still achieved their strategic goals, so it was normal for Li Xiang to be prepared. of.

"Twice as much training on artillery."

There were already several artillery positions around Chang'an City, and they were training all the time. But after having this enemy, Li Xiang felt that training should be increased, and he gave the manufacturing office a task to design Some more flexible gun carriages.

Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang looked at each other and glanced at each other. Our artillery is now strong enough. If it is doubled, the budget will increase accordingly. Of course, because they have been following Li Xiang for a long time, even Li Xiang is very afraid of them. Enemies, that's definitely no joke.

"My subordinates will make arrangements immediately."

Niu Jinda was in charge of this matter, so he didn't talk nonsense and immediately coordinated with various departments. It's just that there are more and more wastelands around Chang'an City, and the training camp may have to be arranged elsewhere. These days There are more and more people in Chang'an, and a lot of wasteland around it has been mined.

"How is the production of military horses in various places this year?"

In this day and age, war horses are still the most important means of transportation, especially when fighting in the Western Regions. If there are not enough war horses, no matter how ambitious you are, you will eventually have to pause and wait for the war horses to appear.

"The grasslands in the north are still in good weather and can contribute tens of thousands of war horses. Because Tuyuhun has adopted the large-scale breeding policy you proposed, they have the highest output and can provide 18,000 war horses this year."

Su Dingfang now looks like a civil servant. When he was on the battlefield, what he hated most was all kinds of data, but that's no longer possible. When Li Xiang is not in the capital, he has to support Niu Jinda.

"Except for what must be allocated to each unit, the rest are ready. If we fight in the west, all these war horses will be transported to the west. In addition, places in Goguryeo that are not good at raising horses must also be collected."

Li Xiang adopts a sustainable development strategy, so only a part of the war horses will be selected every year, so that there will be no shortage of stallions in various places.

If compulsory expropriation measures are taken, tens of thousands of war horses can be obtained in an instant, but if this is the case, it will cause some indelible damage to various places, which is definitely not what Li Xiang wants.

After handling some official matters in the Admiral's Mansion, Li Xiang had no intention of going back, so he took Su Dingfang to his restaurant to have a drink and enjoy the city life of Chang'an. (End of chapter)
