Chapter 1421 The Western Regions County System

"General, please go back quickly. I have remembered everything you said. When I go back, I will tell the king every word..."

After the people from the Vietnamese court put down these supplies, they prepared to return. They still remembered the second half of their mission, which was to seize the time to return and see if this group of people was really Wu Yuanhao. This was also One of the reasons why Wu Yuanhao sent them here.

Wu Yuanhao has been in the Vietnamese court for so many years. Of course he knows what kind of person their king is. That guy is a suspicious person by nature. Now that something like this has happened, he will not trust outsiders even more. .

After staying in the old forest for so many days, Wu Yuanhao was even more convinced that there was nothing wrong with his plan. As long as they could persist, the Tang army would definitely feel a headache. However, there was a prerequisite for this. They had to eat and drink enough. Now that this transportation line has been established, as long as the Vietnamese court continues to transport supplies and victorious troops to them, the rear of the Tang army will definitely not be safe.

"Don't be afraid of hard work on the way back. It doesn't matter if the horse runs to death. You must tell the king the true situation here and the things I donated back."

Although Wu Yuanhao's army was defeated by the Tang army, they still collected a lot of trophies on the battlefield. Now sending these things to the King of Vietnam can be regarded as convincing the King of Vietnam that they are powerful. If they don't take them How could the King of Vietnam see what they were capable of if they came up with something real? We might just give them up, let alone send them supplies.

"I obey my orders."

The envoy of the imperial court did not dare to show any slightness. He almost vomited out his bile after watching for more than a day. These people on the mountain were really miserable. Many of them were sallow and thin, just like a Like idiots, these people seem to have no consciousness even if you pass by them.

In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, Wu Yuanhao could only gather everyone's supplies and use a part of the army as hunting. Now there are still two to three thousand people who can keep food and drink. As for the remaining people, they can survive in one day. That's pretty good for one meal.

Li Xiang, who was far away in Chang'an City, also knew the situation here, but he still did not avoid this situation.

According to Li Xiang's original idea, the Vietnamese army should not be allowed to retire from Laolinzi. Once they are allowed in, it will be difficult for us to clear them out.

Now that we see the battle plan of Chang Sunze and Huo Qubing, it may be able to play a certain role, but it may not work.

All kinds of materials for the Western Expedition Army have already arrived in Chang'an City. Li Xiang has been in constant contact with the Western Expedition Army during this period. Their current exploration radius has reached 800 miles around Samarkand City, except for some scattered Except for the Arab army, the remaining armies have begun to shrink.

It seems that the last battle was also a huge loss for the Arab Empire. Although their prince ran back, he lost most of the land in the Anton Governor's Mansion and hundreds of thousands of elite troops. If all the armies were added up, there would be two to three hundred thousand people. For the Arab Empire, this was also a very large number.

According to Cheng Chuliang, they should continue to move west now, or they should be the home base of the Arab Empire. Why can they come to fight us and we can't fight them?

Li Xiang did not agree with their battle plan, mainly because we had just occupied the city of Samarkand not long ago. If we are greedy for more at this time, it is very likely that we will bite off more than we can chew. In the Yuan Dynasty, even It has reached the whole of Europe, but what is the final situation? If it hadn't been withdrawn quickly, it would have been impossible to hold on.

This kind of fast-food attack is definitely not what Li Xiang wants. He has greater talent and strategy than his grandfather. He hopes that the entire Eurasian continent will crawl under his feet, so this guy is ready to play it slow and choose 400 within the court. Many officials allowed them to flood all parts of the Western Regions, and they must make the Western Regions look like the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty within a few decades.

Regarding Li Xiang's idea, there are different voices both inside and outside the government. Many people believe that Li Xiang will create an unprecedented empire, and the Tang Empire will also stand in the hearts of everyone.

But some people think that Li Xiang is a bit whimsical. The people in those places simply lack education. Even if you keep sending officials to them and let them live according to the living habits of the Tang Dynasty, it is still too far away from Chang'an City. It's far away. Even if we repair the roads, it will still take a month or two to go there. How can we maintain local rule?

Although there was a huge quarrel inside and outside the court, Li Shimin did not interfere too much, because this guy had greater ambitions than Li Xiang, and he also wanted to leave a name in history. Although his position is no longer low , but who doesn’t want to have a higher position?

So he changed hands and approved Li Xiang's plan to set up counties and counties in the Western Region and improve the entire Western Region according to some standards within Chang'an City. In the past, he was able to retain the royal families of various countries. Now if they are willing, they can completely give it to them. The title of a local advisor and their personal assets can also be retained, but if they are unwilling, then we can only carry out sword and spear reforms.

There are people from the royal families in the Western Regions staying in the capital. Li Xiang also hosted a banquet for them at General Tiance's mansion and told them his thoughts. If you are willing to integrate into the Tang Empire, your stage will be even bigger in the future. If If you are unwilling to integrate and still want to keep your own small kingdoms, then you can move out of the Tang Empire. The Tang army will never force you to stay in any form.

But if he still had all kinds of evil intentions if he stayed, Li Xiang was by no means the kind of soft-hearted. The number of Wang family members who died at his hands during these years of fighting in the north and south was not a small number. These people present People are also very aware. Li Xiang found them because he hoped to tell their father through their mouths that he and his family should try not to go against the Tang Dynasty and try to form a new Tang Dynasty...
