Chapter 510 Arctic Ocean

Such an order has not appeared on the grassland for a long time. Now that such an order appears, it means that they have absolute dominance on the grassland. Li Xiang does not have many soldiers, but the attack power of these soldiers is amazing.

For example, a large tribe with three to four thousand people is said to be very powerful, but facing Li Xiang's cavalry team of five hundred people, such a large tribe has no ability to resist at all. The cavalry of a hundred people set up artillery in the distance and bombarded the tribe wildly. When the whole tribe was in chaos, the cavalry came directly from the outside and killed the entire tribe in less than half an hour.

Such examples are taking place throughout the Turkic prairie. Many tribes that do not believe have been dealt with. So now the prairie is full of legends about Li Xiang. If you are disobedient, then you will look at your tribe. Disappear on the grassland.

After receiving the order, the leaders of each tribe immediately mounted their horses and ran towards Li Xiang as fast as possible. They did not dare to stop even at night. For seven days, some nearby tribes It's a long time, but for some distant tribes, they have to travel day and night. If they don't hurry up, they won't be able to arrive on time.

The killing that others said was just a mouthful at most, and it was impossible to really kill a tribe of people. But Li Xiang, the butcher, was different. He had really done this before. things.

At that time, all the tribes betrayed the Tang Dynasty and caused huge casualties to the Tang Dynasty. There was no need for such a tribe to live, so Li Xiang let the tribe disappear. This matter also spread throughout the grassland. If you want to try Test whether Li Xiang's knife is sharp enough, then you won't be able to get there within seven days.

"What should we do when the leaders of these tribes arrive?"

In Li Xiang's tent, Niu Jinda didn't quite understand Li Xiang's plan. Why did he call these people here? Is it just for a meeting? The expenditure of manpower and material resources is also a bit large. According to Niu Jinda's idea, we should attack north now.

"The old rule is to drag his most important relatives to Chang'an, so that he will have some scruples in doing things. Although they may not all listen to us, it is impossible to be the same as before. In addition, let them migrate, and the water plants of each tribe The land will be exchanged, and their strength will be greatly reduced in the new location, which will make it easier for us to manage. We will set up a Turkic Protectorate to manage everything on the Turkic prairie."

Li Xiang said while drawing lines on the map. These two people did not understand the use of these lines. Li Xiang used these lines to divide the entire grassland. When the time comes, these people will be asked to report to the Duhu Mansion regularly. If If someone doesn't come, we can detect some of their movements in advance, and then we can take action in advance.

Li Xiang also asked each tribe to send some soldiers to form the joint force of the Duhufu.

Half of the army of the Duhufu is made up of the Tang army, and the other half is made up of soldiers from various tribes. Whenever something happens, the court will order them to attack first. Although there are connections between the tribes, their hatred is not small. As long as they all If Lord Hu can use these hatreds reasonably, then we can manage the Turkic steppe well.

"I asked why Tuyuhun was managed obediently. When I heard the news in Liaodong, I thought it was a bit impossible. I didn't expect that your highness would have so many ideas. If those people on the Tuyuhun grassland could break through After all these things, they are really in heaven.”

Su Dingfang really admired Li Xiang. No one was more capable than Li Xiang in managing Fanshu Kingdom.

Although there were various systems before the Tang Dynasty, these systems were continued from the previous dynasty. The system may no longer be suitable under this situation. We must strengthen management.

Everything must be persisted. At the beginning of each dynasty, the management of the vassal states was also very strict, but after a period of time it relaxed. It was during this relaxation that rebellion broke out in various places.

"You kid, just learn from it. In the future, you will all be the ones who will open up territory for the Tang Dynasty. These things will be needed in the future. Now we can still fight side by side, but if I don't follow you out in the future, this time The set should also be used in new lands and kept for a hundred years without any worries."

There was something in Li Xiang's words. Su Dingfang and Niu Jinda immediately became interested. They believed that there was no danger around the Tang Dynasty. However, His Highness Taisun kept talking about fighting overseas and what it would be like overseas. Woolen cloth?

Now that we are not going to fight together, it means that His Highness will stay in Chang'an. Does this mean that he has officially sounded the clarion call for the throne? But when they thought of this, the two shook their heads. It seemed that no one among the princes and grandsons in Chang'an City was a match for His Highness, so there was no need to fight at all.

"You old man always said that you want to open up territory for the Tang Dynasty, but now we have almost exhausted all the places that can be conquered. Where can we attack next time?"

Niu Jinda was a straight-tempered man and he didn't want to guess around, so he just asked directly. Are we going to conquer all the areas around Datang?

"You asked well. This time we are heading north to enter the area where Xue Yantuo is located, but that is not our end point. Our end point is to continue heading north and stop when we reach the sea there. From now on, we will continue to the north. It is our Tang Dynasty’s territory.”

Li Xiang took out another map. This map was a map of Asia sketched by Li Xiang. There was no such map in this era. Although the appearance may be different, the general direction is correct.

"Isn't the northernmost point the Beihai? Where is Su Wu shepherding sheep?"

Su Dingfang thought of an allusion and immediately felt hot all over his body. It is said that there was the base camp of the Huns and their northernmost place. If we can occupy it, how big is the territory of our Datang? According to some old people in the military camp, it is tens of thousands of miles from Beihai to Chang'an City. I don't know if it is true. If the Tang Empire was that big, it would be happy just to think about it.

"That's not the North Sea, but let's call it the North Sea for now, but that's not our destination. Our destination has to continue north, to a place called the Arctic Ocean."

Li Xiang wrote the words Arctic Ocean on the top of the map...
