Chapter 1507 Tianzhu and the Western Regions

Finally, the day has come to leave. Thirty percent of the construction of the stronghold here has been completed, and the rest has been recorded in the books. The people below just need to finish it honestly.

In fact, Changsunze couldn't stay any longer and wished he could leave as soon as a month ago. However, Li Xiang always felt that General Mo Lun might not be able to control the overall situation, so he helped here more so that General Mo Lun could quickly control the overall situation. .

Now it's finally over. At last night's banquet, Li Xiang also solemnly asked General Mo Lun if there was nothing wrong. He would have to leave this morning. Li Xiang's route was still to take the land route. If you take the water route, it may be further.

Of course, people may be more comfortable if they take the waterway. This is just a guess. If you encounter strong winds and waves at sea, it may not be comfortable.

"You all should assist Mo Lun well. There is no problem with his talent, and he can also listen to opinions. In the next two to three years, if there are no major changes, you people will all be here. , when I come back next time, maybe it will be the time for us to attack Tianzhu. The Tang Dynasty's hegemony is far from the end. Don't relax, you must keep your spirits up. Everything you do now , there will be a good result in the future.”

Before Li Xiang boarded the car, he said these words to the people under his command. Many of them felt that they had already met victory, but at this moment, Li Xiang was asked to give him a shot of chicken blood. They were not idle during this period, and they were even more busy. In the west, it is said that there is a huge country, larger than the Indochina Peninsula they conquered, and it is full of huge plains, and the geographical environment is much better than the Indochina Peninsula.

Li Xiang once told them that if we conquer Tianzhu, even if the country does not produce a single grain of grain, Tianzhu's food can supply the entire country, and everyone will keep it in mind.

After all, in feudal society, food was the most important strategic material. As long as you have enough food, you can gather enough people. After you have enough people, you can have enough troops, even if you still have There are no cities, but if your army is large enough, the change of dynasty is at your fingertips.

So they all remembered Li Xiang's words. What kind of land could provide food for the entire Tang Dynasty? I really want to go and see it in this life.

"Your Highness, I have always had a question. If there is such a good land, then why do we need to go to the Western Regions to fight? Can't we just conquer Tianzhu? Let's live a good life there. There is plenty of food and a large population. "There is no need to go to places like the Western Region. It's just nothing. If it weren't for foreign trade in these years, we might have lost a lot of money in the New Western Region."

Changsunze was riding beside Li Xiang. They had just left the border of South Vietnam. Both of them were still able to ride horses. After a while, Li Xiang would probably have to ride a carriage. He rode horses every day on such a long road. By the time you get to Chang'an City, your thighs will probably be worn out.

"Then have you ever thought about it? If we occupy all good places, what will happen to our people? What we think about every day is how to live a happy life. Although our country is strong, if we don't have soldiers to fight, If so, do you know what the final result will be? Does Qi, one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, know?"

In just a few words, Li Xiang woke up this guy. Among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, Qin and Chu were both very strong, but if we want to talk about wealth, Qi should be the richest, occupying With the power of ocean salt, they don't know how much money they made.

But apart from being rich, can Qi do other things? When the Qin army came, did they have any other option besides surrendering? If there is a strong domestic army with extremely strong combat effectiveness, coupled with economic support, in which year Qin will be able to defeat Liuhe, I am afraid it will have to wait for a while.

"His Highness really takes a long-term view. It's better for me to wait."

After hearing this, Changsunze was really convinced. During this period of time leading troops in the south, Changsunze also had strong confidence and believed that his abilities were not bad compared with others. But after hearing Li Xiang's words After that, you immediately knew where you lost, that is, you lost in big concepts. When others think about these issues, you don’t have such an impression at all. How can you compare with others?

"It doesn't matter, just accumulate slowly in the future. You have already gained a certain prestige within the army on the battlefield in South Vietnam. If you follow me to the Western Regions to fight, you will basically be able to reach the level of Su Dingfang." Now that you have reached the level, I guess no one will underestimate you when you return to Chang'an City."

What Li Xiang said was true. Li Shimin relied heavily on the eldest son's family, and Li Xiang also relied heavily on the eldest grandson's family. Although eldest son Chong was transferred back to Chang'an, he still controlled a powerful department. The two brothers killed two birds with one stone, plus eldest grandson Yunyi. Having already given birth to a son, it is really difficult to estimate the future of the eldest grandson's family.

However, in Li Xiang's words, Changsun Ze still heard that maybe his brother is quitting the powerful department, and it is impossible for you two brothers to be so prosperous. If your Changsun family really has second thoughts, then The royal family of the Tang Dynasty is really going to suffer a big loss.

"If Your Highness feels embarrassed, I can just work as a casualty in Chang'an City."

Changsun Ze said these insincere words. He had made great contributions on the battlefield at a young age. If he wanted to leave the battlefield and find a casual job, it was definitely insincere. Looking at the expression on his face, Li Xiang said: Knowing that this guy wants to go to the Western Regions, he is not afraid of the dangers on the battlefield, but is afraid of the balance of the court.

In fact, many big families are afraid of this. Take Cheng Yaojin as an example, is he willing to stay idle at home? But his two sons are already making waves on the battlefield. If you, old man, go up again, not to mention that Li Shimin will not be able to sleep, and Li Xiang will not be able to sleep. An army of hundreds of thousands is in the control of the three of you, father and son. In case of rebellion, where will all this be found now? You have to prepare for the worst in everything.
