On a new day, Chang'an went to the official road to the north.
Before dawn, a cavalry team quickly ran past, entered the distant jungle, and disappeared.
Not long after leaving, some people in a team that was quietly marching in the jungle began to complain.
"General, why did we leave the main road and take this deserted mountain road? Is this really appropriate?"
Xu Yunyan smiled when he heard some people complaining in his ears that the route he took was a deserted mountain road.
"Is this appropriate or inappropriate? As soldiers, isn't it our duty to build roads and bridges across mountains and rivers?"
"There is nothing wrong in saying that."
A brigade marshal whose last name was unknown was accompanying Xu Yunyan here, but his expression was very unnatural.
"But traveling in such a wilderness, I'm afraid we won't remember the way. What will we do when we come back?"
Xu Yunyan couldn't help but laugh when he saw their entangled expressions.
"When you go back? This is easy to do. When you come back, you only need to walk back along the official road. There is no need to walk back along the wilderness. Do you think you must go back along the wilderness? Can I find my way home by walking back through the countryside?"
When Xu Yunyan said this, the brigade commander slapped his head.
"Look at the fuss, General, I only know where to go and return. By then, I have forgotten that my mission is to deliver the General to the designated location without incident and then return.
I waited until I forgot to go and walked through the wilderness. When I came back, I could walk along the official road without any scruples, which made the general laugh. "
Seeing that he didn't have any embarrassment, Xu Yunyan would not say anything to him, but instead started talking here.
"Everyone who laughs or not laughs is serving His Majesty and sharing the worries of the Tang Dynasty. It is Li's blessing that you can protect Li. Li can't thank you all enough for being here."
Xu Yunyan was polite to them, and these people no longer complained here, as if a few words of praise gave them endless motivation. They walked quickly through the woods in the north, although there would be sudden surprises from time to time. The accident brought them a lot of trouble, and they just regarded it as an exercise.
The group of people walked and stopped like this, and finally crossed the river half a month later. After crossing the river again, a group of soldiers led by the prince's guards began to return.
The place they agreed upon has arrived.
After they left, Xu Yunyan looked at the special flag next to the river and knew they were in the right place.
When Xu Yunyan rushed in the direction of the special flag, hundreds of cavalry emerged from the corners in the distance and surrounded Xu Yunyan in a circle.
Most people might be afraid of this, but Xu Yunyan was not afraid at all. Instead, he looked at them excitedly on his horse and turned the horse's head. After turning around in a circle, he said to them.
"Everyone, we meet again."
When Xu Yunyan said this, these people burst out laughing.
"Yes, we meet again. It is our blessing to be able to follow the general again."
Xu Yunyan was extremely excited when he saw all these people who worked in the Northland gathering here. Among them, Zhai Peng, Li Chun, Zhang Xia, and Zhao Dong rushed forward quickly.
"General!"
The four King Kongs under his command can also be regarded as very outstanding representatives among this group of people, in addition to his three hundred veterans, and they also followed him to defeat the enemy.
Unexpectedly, in addition to the 300 old soldiers, they were summoned here by an order.
Xu Yunyan looked at the four people kneeling in front of him and hurriedly got off his horse to help them up. As the four of them acted like this, the other people also followed suit and got off their horses and knelt on the ground, shouting to the general. .
Xu Yunyan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"This is your most trustworthy partner."
After sighing, Xu Yunyan shouted loudly.
"Everyone, what are you doing? Get up, everyone. We are comrades who go into battle to kill the enemy together. There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. Get up, everyone!"
Xu Yunyan pulled them up one by one. Looking at these veterans, plus Jiangzhou's team of less than 300 veterans, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but shed tears.
They all sacrificed their lives and blood for the Tang Dynasty. Although the lowest living ones are brigade commanders and there are many school captains and the like, their efforts are worthy of this position.
This time they have gathered under their own command to form such a sharp knife. I don’t know what the final result will be. How many people will fall on this cold land, and they will never be able to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty.
"Since all brothers are here, let's go to the Chinese army's tent together."
The large tent of the Chinese army mentioned here is not the army gathered in the North, but these are either captains or brigade commanders. They all come here with some confidants, ranging from thirty to fifty to seven or eight. It is easy to Let Xu Yunyan pull up a main force of ten thousand people, who can definitely be trusted and can do whatever you want.
Xu Yunyan led this group of sincere old soldiers to gallop quickly across the large desolate land north of the river. At ten o'clock in the evening, they entered a heavily guarded military camp in a hidden location.
When he first came in and looked at the soldiers who were constantly training and adjusting here, Xu Yunyan said to the thick generals.
"Everyone is interested."
After Xu Yunyan said this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"Master General, we are not just following the general for a day or two. As long as we have such an opportunity, we will immediately sharpen the weapons in our hands to be extremely sharp. The soldiers will be trained to scream, ready to rush into the battle at any time. The Turks duke it out.”
Seeing these captains and brigade commanders who were full of fighting spirit, Xu Yunyan smiled happily.
"We have all the benevolent and righteous people in the Tang Dynasty. Why can't we defeat the Turks and turn them into counties in our Datang Dynasty? This is a glory that has never been seen before the Han Dynasty."
What Xu Yunyan said was very heroic, and these soldiers nodded here.
"Don't worry, general, as long as we wait, we will never let the Turks get past our defense line."
Xu Yunyan looked at them and nodded heavily.
"Okay, then let's witness the rise of the Tang Dynasty here together."
Xu Yunyan celebrated their reunion with his old brothers in the barracks, but the captain among the many Zhechong mansions in the North looked at the imperial edict in his hand with worry.
The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict...
"Cooperate fully with the new Northland military commander. Which general is here? Ready to mobilize at any time?"
This makes these Zhe Chongfu captains here confused and confused as to what is going on.
Now that the Turks and the Tang Dynasty have finally managed to prevent each other from invading each other, is it necessary to mobilize troops to attack the Turks in the north?
I know that my Majesty was very unhappy when he was disturbed by this Turk some time ago, and something will definitely happen.
However, the imperial court has already issued a decree, but these captains of Zhechong Mansion have no way to stay here and think about what they should and shouldn't do. Instead, they are preparing here.
Since the above means so, then I will be ready at any time.
In fact, we also want to take revenge. Who in the North has no relatives who have been threatened by aliens? What's more, families are broken up and people are scattered.
In Chang'an, after Xu Yunyan left, Li Shimin immediately removed his personnel and kept an eye on the situation in the North.
"Don't let the worst-case scenario really happen. Even if it doesn't happen, it would be good to let Xu Yunyan train a strong army there and wait until the right time to attack the Turks in the north and take revenge on the Weishui Alliance."
Just thinking about Beidi, Li Shimin couldn't help but start to read the information on the cam sent by these intelligence personnel.
Jieli and Tuli are worthy of being the only Turkic Khans. They sent troops to suppress the small Turkic tribes who fought for the wolf totem, so that the chaotic Turks finally became a little quieter.
These two people didn't take action, and once they did, they didn't leave any way for these small tribes in the melee to survive.
All the young and strong people who resisted were wiped out, and the remaining ones were used as items for their tribe's fighting strength. Those women and children in the tribe could be rewarded to the tribe's warriors, and those who were old and unable to go into battle were rewarded. All the burdens on the tribe were solved secretly.
Seeing that this chaos created the increasingly powerful Tuli and Jieli tribes, Li Shimin felt a little itchy with hatred.
"Why don't these small tribes have the courage to gather and compete with these big tribes?"
Li Shimin touched his chin here, but not long after, he was still here smiling.
"No matter how powerful your two tribes are, what's the problem? You used to be able to gather 100,000 people by gathering small tribes. Now that the small tribes are gone, you can't assemble 100,000 people. Your people are getting fewer and fewer. I Should we celebrate?"
Li Shimin thought he should celebrate here, and Li Chengqian once again came to the place where Li Shimin was handling official business.
Seeing Prince Li Chengqian approaching in a hurry, Li Shimin looked at him and said, "Gan'er, why do you come to see your father in such a hurry?"
Li Shimin became a father again. Here he asked Li Chengqian why he came here, and Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and said here.
"The glaze produced under the supervision of my father's craftsman was temporarily sold out, so I sent most of the money to my father for him to dispose of."
"Oh, how many?"
Li Shimin actually didn't care about the income from selling things.
"Preliminary calculations show that the income totals one and a half years of revenue for the state treasury."
After Li Chengqian said something, Li Shimin suddenly stood up from his seat.
"How much? One and a half years' treasury income? Good! Great! Gan'er will keep half a year, and the rest will be put into the treasury. With such money, I, Datang, can do more things."
Li Chengcheng looked at Li Shimin saying this, and said something to Li Shimin here.
"Father, I feel that keeping a child for half a year is too much. Putting it into the treasury for one year means nothing.
For the remaining six months, I plan to divide it into two parts.
One portion will be put into the father's inner treasury, and the remaining children will be taken back to form the navy, making the navy of the Tang Dynasty even stronger.
In this way, more grain and grass can be transported back, and more genius treasures can be searched overseas. Maybe we can find grain that is even more expensive than potatoes, or creatures that are more suitable for farming fields, grazing, and providing meat than cattle and sheep. . "
"Okay! The emperor is interested."
Li Shimin was very satisfied looking at him here.
"I have such a royal son, so why worry that our Tang Dynasty cannot prosper for millions of years."
Li Shimin sighed loudly here, and Li Chengqian also felt that as the prince, he was able to make such a contribution to the Tang Dynasty, and he was so happy.
But after Li Chengqian prepared to invest all his money in the navy, Li Shimin was also thinking about something.
Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng, what if your descendants run away? After this navy is established, I will search all over the world, and I don’t believe that I can’t find you.
