Chapter 22 Gain an inch must advance
"Chief, King Gaochang asks to see you. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Nope."
Hou Junji sneered, his eyes were extremely cruel. This Western Expedition can not be said to be unimpressive, and outsiders and other countries do not know the confidence, but as the secretary of the Ministry of War, he has a deep understanding of the military budget of this Western Expedition.
This year, the attack from Liangzhou will be triumphant in autumn, and the total budget for military operations is two million yuan!
If you smash it with money, you can also smash Tuyuhun to death, but as the secretary of the military department, did he just come to get Fu Yun, the lost dog? Out of Guazhou and into Yizhou, attacking Shanshan, just for Fu Yun's little belongings?
If he Hou Junji really returned to the dynasty like this, the emperor would not blame him, but he didn't have to be the secretary of the military department!
What is the situation of Gao Chang, he will not know? Now that Shanshan has taken it, the Western Turks have been directly chopped up and fed to the dogs, and Hou Junji doesn't care whether the Western Turks want to unite with the outside world.
Because, at this moment, the Tang Army, even in the face of the Western Turkic coalition army in its heyday, no matter what terrain, climate, or situation, it has the inevitable certainty of victory.
The red flag of Yuanmen was unfurled, the fierce west wind blew the wind and sand, and beside the road outside the door, there was a team of people kneeling. Among these people, the leader wore a crown and a brocade robe, and behind him were all famous men and women of good shape.
The king, who was blown by the wind, waited for the news in the gate with trepidation.
He didn't dare to look left and right, just by glancing at the dark iron armor, he could feel the indestructible firmness. How could the iron sword of the Western Regions penetrate them?
And these Xuanjia warriors turned out to be just guards on duty outside the gate.
Crash! Crash! Crash......
The dragon and tiger steps made the armor make an astonishing pleasant sound, and the king kneeling beside the road raised his head with a happy face, it was the sharp soldier who sent the message, and it was the guard of the Tang Dynasty's military department.
"The chief has an order: not to see!"
After saying that, Rui Shi didn't look at the frightened king, turned around and left the gate.
"Nope! No! Xiao Wang was deeply guilty and deeply frightened, and begged for forgiveness from the national book, begging for ......"
The crown fell, and the king who was lying on the ground and crawling fast forward seemed to be about to climb into the gate, but he did not dare to get up, so he could only lie on the ground humbly like a dog.
"Death to the trespasser!"
Choke!
The guards of the gate instantly staggered the long-handled sharp knives in their hands in front of the king's head from one left to the other.
"O Buddha...... Forgive me, have mercy on meβ"
The king who was weeping and weeping, his hair was scattered, and for a moment, he described how withered and desolate.
"Do you have the courage to fight with the Turkic mongrel, but don't you have the courage to fight with our army? Hahaha......"
In the military tent, Hou Junji, who was laughing at the sky, was extremely arrogant, "Lu Wentai is just a wild dog." Hehehehehe, hahahaha......"
The lord of a country, in the eyes of the gangsters in Fenzhou, is just a wild dog. And a foolish wild dog.
"What about Uncle Xie? Let him come to me! β
"Yes, sir."
Xie Shufang is very excluded, the reason is very simple, he is Li Yuanji's person. But at this time, Uncle Xie sat in the position of the assassin of Yizhou because he knew how to be a man. Last year, Li Simo's camel team officially set up a base in Yiwu and set up a horse farm in the enclosure of the mountain.
The old lord of Yiwu City, who returned to the Tang Dynasty, was also able to move his clan inward because of Xie Shufang's recommendation. Originally, the city lord of Yiwu still wanted to take care of it as a land snake, but when Li Simo's camel team appeared in Yizhou, the city lord of Yiwu was frightened by the continuous sound of camel bells.
30,000 camels, this is the total number that Zhang De, Li Simo, Yu Chigong, and Changsun Wuji can organize at one time now.
After several years of unremitting efforts, even the Turks were used as "strange animals" to graze in the wild, and after several years of unremitting efforts, they were finally able to be transformed into captive livestock like the six animals.
In addition to the 30,000 camels, there were 9,000 mules, 10,000 black donkeys, and 40,000 pack horses. The owners of these livestock used for cargo turnover are all from the new upstarts of Chang'an.
The emperor was not unclear, but the emperor himself profited from it.
Since Jia Fei built the Green Feed Tower, like the Fengzhou Silver Mine that the emperor rewarded Li Simo and was later donated to Princess Changle by the old mad dog, in addition to the initial production of silver, it is also a large number of captive livestock.
In the vast area of the Hetao, half of the pasture grass fell into the hands of Princess Chang'an in various names. Although this is not Li Lizhi's original intention, how the people below operate, whether it is to use her name to take advantage of it, is not something that she can obstruct alone.
Even the inner house has the meaning of pushing the boat along the river, and the queen borrowed the name of her daughter to directly control more than 300,000 cattle and sheep, and as for the horses, there are many names.
Most of these riding animals are walking on the Silk Road. The city lord of Yiwu City was frightened, and he also saw the tip of the iceberg of the Tang Dynasty, but this corner was a bit big.
"I've seen the Steward."
If Li Jiancheng had killed Li Shimin back then, with Xie Shufang's status and ability, he was afraid that he would have to be reversed from the current Hou Junji.
Hou Junji didn't like him, but Hou Junji didn't dare to do anything with him, and he didn't even have the intention of squeezing Xie Shufang. If he did this, the matter would reach Chang'an, and Li Shimin, who had been maintaining his reputation, would not mind letting Hou Junji think about it at home until he died of old age.
"Emperor's edict!"
Suddenly, Hou Junji was beside a man in armor and beard, holding an edict and reading: "After conquering Gaochang, destroy its nation and set its territory as a state and county." Illinois Thorn History Xie Shufang and Xinzhou Thorn History. β
"Minister, obey the order."
The eunuch was obviously a person who often walked in the ranks, but I saw him hand over the edict to Uncle Xie, and then said, "Your Majesty wants the state to be named Xizhou, and Xie Yizhou has a history of assassination in two states, so don't let down the emperor." β
"The emperor's grace is vast, Uncle Xie is willing to repay His Majesty's grace!"
Back then, he killed Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng, both of whom were Emperor Li's henchmen, and if he survived, the Twelve Guards would definitely be chosen at will.
Xie Shufang is a thorn in the emperor's heart, but time has passed, and the national strength shown by Zhenguan in the ninth year has far surpassed that of the former Sui. In the face of such a strong national strength and such abundant financial resources, Li Shimin's mentality, which could have been tolerated, is becoming more and more relaxed at this moment.
Use his ability instead of others, Xie Shufang is a capable person, if he can shine in the Western Regions, Emperor Li doesn't mind giving him a great fortune at all.
"Uncle Xie, the old man has always disliked you, but right now, the old man still wants to ask you, in what name did you kill the Lu Wentai family?"
Uncle Xie, whose eyes moved slightly, did not change his color, and said: "I am a Han species, and I should be punished if I bend to do things." β
"Good!"
Hou Junji rolled his eyes and immediately understood what Xie Shufang meant. Gaochang is mostly Han people, is the blood left by the garrison of the Han Dynasty, during the Central Plains melee, many Han people in the northwest escaped, including those who went to Gaochang.
Zhenguan 123 general natural disasters in the country, to Zhenguan four years, Ko Wentai into Chang'an tribute, it turned out that even in Guanzhong, it was very withered and poor, far less than Luoyang in the Yang Guang period. His mentality is very normal, the Emperor of the Central Plains is so dilapidated in front of his own house, do you still need to think about it elsewhere?
As a result, Lu Wentai went to war with the Western Turks, and made trouble in Beiting one after another, and the territory directly swelled to the Yingsa River west of Yanqi.
Although it is the Han regime, Gaochang is far away from the Central Plains after all, where do you know that the Tang Dynasty at this moment, even if there is no Jiangnan dog, it is changing with each passing day, not to mention, the engineering dog that has gone crazy for the Xiaobawang learning machine has made the central finance of the Tang Dynasty enter an unprecedented good.
In just two years, although the financial balance of the central government is not as good as Yang Jian's accumulation in a lifetime, it is not a little bit stronger than the situation after Yang Guang's brain-dead.
And because of the story of Taigu County, many runaways in Hedong have re-entered the mainstream society under the "Taigu County model" or coercion or inducement.
The extremely rapid recovery of the registered population gave the Tang Dynasty the spare strength to fight on the second front, and it fought quite beautifully and with confidence.
Lu Wentai, who was far away in the Western Regions, did not know all this, and even if there were smuggling merchants who told him the news, he might not believe it in the end.
Until the lord of Yiwu City dedicated seven large and small cities to the Tang Dynasty, and through the recommendation of Xie Shufang, moved to Liangzhou.
From then on, Ko knew as if he was missing something.
Until Fu Yun, who was hiding in Shanshan, was driven out like a sheep, until Anxili, who was once an country, appeared in the army of Zhengxi, and still regarded himself as a Tang person......
Li Wentai was even more stupid enough to come to the camp of the Gangsters in Fenzhou to kneel down and beg for forgiveness, this way of killing was just the last bit of luck in his heart.
As for Hou Junji, he didn't chop off his head directly, it was nothing more than worrying about the Han people in Gaochang being alarmed, but now according to Xie Shufang's statement. How can the Han people who stoop to do things have the face to stand up for Lu Wentai?
"Gaochang has a lot of gold, silver, copper and iron output, and more coal, when Xizhou is established, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the inner government will come to sell the mining area. His Majesty has already told the old man that forty percent of the wealth will be left behind and left in the Xizhou Thorn Mansion. β
If it was the previous Hou Junji, he would probably only be excited to chop off more enemies' heads. But after the edification of some unknown creatures, and in Qinghai, I saw the teacher Li Jing personally collecting wool. The big gangsters in Fenzhou suddenly understood a truth: his former self was actually a big fool.
