On June 11th, the wind was gentle and clear, the sky was blue, and the southern tour began.
It has been half a year since the founding of the Jin Dynasty. Now, the initial turbulent period has passed, and the next step is official and stable development.
It was against this background that Li Xiang prepared for this southern tour. Li Xiang's southern territory only included part of Jingbei, Yizhou and the newly established Nanzhou.
The destination of this southern tour was of course the newly conquered Yizhou and Nanzhou. At present, there are only these two places worthy of his efforts and efforts, and he specially visits them personally.
The southern tour was to express the importance he attached to the two places he had just won, and also for Li Xiang to personally go to stabilize the people of these two states so that they could enter the next stage of work as soon as possible.
The next step for Li Xiang's work is to establish a foothold in the south.
These two places can be stabilized as soon as possible, the Nanman problem can be solved as soon as possible, and Wu Qi, the governor of Nanzhou, can be worthy of his name, and the sooner Li Xiang can start his next plan.
Early in the morning, civil and military officials gathered at the east gate of Luoyang City to see off Li Xiang's southern patrol team. In the entire Luoyang City, even officials as big as sesame seeds were gathered here.
"Mother, there are so many people outside, and there is even a huge team in front of you!" Qingli said in surprise as she looked at the long queue.
As the snake zodiac sign among the 12 zodiac signs, this one was implanted into the Southern Barbarians. Later, she entered the palace as the maidservant of the saint Xianle and continued to be the maid beside Xianle.
After all, he was born among the southern barbarians, and the sight among the big men dazzled him. It is also rare to see the emperor's southern tour and the accompanying thousands of troops gathered together.
Perhaps they have seen scenes of tens of thousands of people gathering together. However, the question is, how many of them have seen tens of thousands of elite troops gather together?
Li Xiang's personal guard, the Tiger Guard, naturally has to follow him. However, this personal guard suffered heavy losses in the last war. Although the personnel are now fully replenished, the combat effectiveness is definitely not the same. If you want to return to its peak, The grand occasion may take some time.
Although not all of the Phoenix Guards accompanied them, half of them followed.
After all, it is normal for an emperor to be accompanied by several concubines when he goes on tour. These Phoenix Guards are responsible for protecting these concubines!
In addition to these, there are Gao Shun's trapped camp, Bai Qi's Killing God Thousand-Man Team, Luo Cheng's Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, and Chen Qingzhi's White Robe Army.
Of course, Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army has just been replenished, and is still far from their peak. However, this was also to send a signal to Shu, so he took them with him.
Ten thousand elite troops accompanied them, and there were also several god-level generals accompanying them. The strongest one was naturally Xing Tian, who would follow Li Xiang in most cases.
This is only on the surface, the floating water house and secret guards secretly have already been scattered around.
This security intensity has been achieved as much as possible.
Xian Le had already guessed that it was the emperor's southern tour, and he would be accompanied by the concubines, important civil and military ministers, their families, and even the accompanying imperial doctors and other personnel, not to mention that most of the people in the city loved to watch. It's lively, and there are a lot of people outside.
The emperor was on a tour to the south, and he was accompanied by some of his ministers. Not only were they naked, but the emperor was alone.
However, before Xian Le could reply to her, the curtain was pulled open from the outside, and Li Xiang was seen entering the carriage in a dusty manner. Qing Li immediately went out after seeing this.
As soon as Li Xiang sat down, he couldn't help but look at her. When he saw that her eyes were slightly green, he couldn't help but frown and ask.
"But you're tired?"
As one of the five concubines, Xian Le has the highest status among the concubines accompanying this time, and she is also the one Li Xiang must take with him when naming her.
What she did was naturally for her special status.
The reason why this southern tour is launched this time is that an extremely important goal is to solve the problem of the southern barbarians as soon as possible. So, as one of the two saints of the Southern Barbarians, she is naturally the top priority, even if she doesn't want to follow them. All the concubines can be excluded from the accompanying team, except her.
Of course, no concubine would waste this opportunity to accompany the king.
Xian Le shook his head: "I didn't close the window yesterday, so I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, and then I couldn't sleep much."
Li Xiang showed a distressed expression when he heard this, and could only say: "If you are tired, just take a nap, and I will watch over you!"
"Your Majesty, are you going to the front?" Xian Le looked at him in surprise.
"No need, everything has been arranged. After everyone bids farewell, we can just set off!" Li Xiang shook his head and said.
Logically speaking, if you leave Sizhou and enter Nanyang, and then enter Yizhou from Nanyang, this road will be much easier.
However, Li Xiang decided to go west to Yongzhou first, stay in Yongzhou for a period of time, and then go south from Yongzhou to Yizhou.
Although this road is relatively more difficult to walk, fortunately it has to pass through Yongzhou on the way. The three northern states want troops to move out of the grasslands, and Xizhou is especially under great pressure from the war. Yongzhou is an important food and grass supply location and transfer station.
It's rare to go out, so if you have the chance, you have to go and see it with your own eyes.
Furthermore, due to the impact of the establishment of the dynasty, coupled with the impact of the large-scale transfer of officials from various places this time, a certain degree of chaos inevitably occurred in various places, and it took a lot of time to stabilize. Even for this reason, it was worth his while to go to Yongzhou to have a look.
While thinking about this, he noticed that Concubine Chen's expression looked a little drowsy. Li Xiang wanted to laugh but felt distressed at the same time, so he could only say: "If you are tired, just take a nap, I will call you when you get there!" "
"good!"
Xian Le was really sleepy. She woke up suddenly in the middle of the night yesterday, and it was dawn before she could fall asleep. She couldn't fall asleep when she heard the noise in the courtyard, so she got up early. Besides, she had been waiting in the palace for departure, which was inevitable. Just tired.
After a while, Li Xiang heard Concubine Chen's steady breathing and gave her a helpless look. He covered her with a blanket and took out the military book he had been reading from the secret compartment next to him. , read it with relish.
After a moment and three quarters, the front finally started to move, and the team behind them immediately followed. When Li Xiang saw the carriage moving, he couldn't help but look at Concubine Chen. He saw her brows were slightly frowned, obviously she was not sleeping well, and he took advantage of the situation. He helped her to his side and let her sleep peacefully on his legs.
