The young people following him are all children of the Xungui family. They must have been influenced by culture since they were young. They have long heard about the young master's poetry, and today they can really see it.
This frontier fortress poetry may be the pinnacle of frontier fortress poetry.
"What a poem!"
"Don't laugh, Lord, lying drunk on the battlefield, hahaha..."
"I am waiting for you, the son of the Tang Dynasty, and I will return to you wrapped in horse leather."
"I came here this time with no intention of going back alive..."
This poem not only describes the scene of the soldiers drinking happily before going out to the battle, but also describes the emergency of the military situation. It is no harm to get drunk with the soldiers before they rest. It doesn't matter if they are lying drunk on the battlefield. A man should be buried in horse leather.
Yan Yun laughed and asked: "You guys, sing with me..."
"Okay, let's sing..."
"Glow-in-the-dark cup of fine grape wine. If you want to drink, play the pipa immediately. Lord Don't laugh while lying drunk on the battlefield. How many times have you fought in ancient times?"
Li Ke looked at these young men and couldn't help but smile bitterly. This poem was originally sad and war-weary, but now that he composed it, it became an inspirational poem.
But no matter what, this poem can arouse the emotions of the soldiers, which is worth thousands of troops.
Countless war horses galloped in the distance, kicking up bursts of dust.
Qin Qiong and Li Daliang came together to greet the King of Shu, accompanied by the two men of the King of Shu, Ma Qiu and the white-faced scholar.
"It seems that His Highness has written a new poem." Qin Qiong said with a smile.
Li Daliang has been in Liangzhou in the northwest and has never met the King of Shu. He has only heard that the King of Shu is very good at poetry. Today he has seen it.
"A quatrain for the ages, definitely a quatrain for the ages."
The crowd rode on war horses and slowly came to Li Ke's side. They turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and bowed: "I will see you at last, Your Highness!"
Li Ke stepped forward and helped Qin Qiong up, and then Li Daliang.
"Good job, two generals!"
"General Li, this is the first time we have met, but I have heard of your deeds for a long time. You are a brave and strategic general, and my father's confidant."
Li Daliang was embarrassed by Li Ke's words, so he touched his head and said with a naive smile: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Qin Qiong smiled and said: "Your Highness, please go to the city. General Li has already hosted a banquet for you to wash away the dust."
"I'm sorry to bother you, General Li, but I'll wait for a few days first."
Everyone mounted their horses, followed by Qin Qiong and Li Daliang, and everyone slowly headed towards Liangzhou City in the distance.
"What's the situation now?"
Li Daliang said: "Your Highness, the situation is not optimistic."
"Fuyun, that bitch, invaded their territory through Tubo and recruited troops from all over. According to the spies' report, there are currently 130,000 troops in Tuyuhun, including 80,000 cavalry. However, they did not defend Tibet. Instead, they deployed their elite troops in Tuyuhun territory. Close to the border of Datang."
"The spies from the countries in the Western Regions reported that the countries in the Western Regions had also heard the news and were preparing for war urgently. The Lord of Gaochang issued an order to the whole country. All the people were mobilized. Even the local businessmen captured strong men and stationed an army of 60,000 in the west of Yumen Pass. Among them, 20,000 elite cavalry were sent by the Western Turks."
"After our dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks, His Majesty moved the Eastern Turks to the north and south of Yinshan Mountain and established Jisi Prefecture. The large grasslands in the north were empty. Xue Yantuo took the opportunity to annex them, and his power rose rapidly. The rest were like Huihe, Adiao, and Tongluo. Pu Gu etc. have become attached.”
"According to the information obtained by the general, Xue Yan entrusted Pearl Bijia Khan to Yi Nan. He claimed to have more than 200,000 strong soldiers. Now, Yi Nan, that villain, has annexed 60,000 soldiers at the border. The Qianren sent their credentials, saying they were afraid that the Tang Dynasty would not be able to defeat Tuyuhun, so they wanted to help."
"There are also remnants of the East Turks who often appear in the Hexi Corridor in small groups, robbing merchants and bullying local herdsmen."
"Of course, there are also those so-called aristocratic families from the Central Plains who are causing trouble here. They claim to be escorting caravans, but they are actually elite troops."
"Your Highness, the last time we attacked our troops and lost the soldiers who came forward, I will suspect that it was the noble family that did it."
Li Ke looked at the Liangzhou City under the setting sun and listened carefully to Li Daliang's report. The situation in Liangzhou was really complicated. One careless move could lead to chaos and be divided among many forces.
"You must understand that those who are not of my race must have different hearts."
"Anything that belongs to the country or not is all nonsense. Those in the court want to put money on their faces. Don't take it seriously. Only when the power of rule is held in your own hands does it belong to the Tang Dynasty."
"For example, Tuyuhun, and Xue Yantuo, these are my vassal states of the Tang Dynasty. What's the result?"
"Subordinate countries only obey you when you are strong. Once you are weak, they will annex you and enslave you..."
Qin Qiong's mouth twitched when he heard it, and Li Daliang smiled awkwardly: "Your Highness is right!"
"I have come here in person this time. I have two things to do. The first is to capture the Li family in Longxi, and the second is to incorporate Tuyuhun and Xue Yantuo into the Tang Dynasty's map."
"hiss……"
The two militants Qin Qiong and Li Daliang also took a breath of cold air in their hearts. They thought it would be good to capture Tuyuhun this time, but His Highness actually wanted to capture Xue Yantuo. Xue Yantuo was not easy to fight, and the territory was too large. Big.
"To tell you the truth, we don't need to fight Tuyuhun. Naturally, someone will fight for us. After they finish fighting Tuyuhun, we will go and fight Xue Yantuo."
The two of them were confused. What did your Highness mean?
Who will fight for us?
Tibet? Xue Yantuo? Or the countries in the Western Regions?
"Uncle Qin, there is a military camp outside the city. I want to station it outside the city."
Qin Qiong smiled and said: "I have already prepared it for Your Highness."
"So good!"
Li Daliang sighed, Brother Qin still understood the prince's thoughts.
After everyone arrived at the military camp and settled down, Li Ke informed Ma Qiu, the white-faced scholar, and Si She, Wu Shanqiong and others who had arrived in Liangzhou before.
"We have met the young master."
"Please take a seat!"
Everyone sat down, and the snake reported first.
"Young Master, my subordinates have done some research in the past three days. In Liangzhou, aristocratic families account for half of the property. Among them, the Longxi Li family and the Zhaojun Li family account for the most, followed by the Fanyang Lu family and the two families. Cui."
"Among them, Fan Yang's Lu family and Zhaojun's Li family have bodyguards. Apparently, there are thousands of guards, and the officials of Liangzhou City, big and small, are all from aristocratic families." biquge.biz
"In addition to these forces, there are also merchants from Tubo, Western Turks, Xue Yantuo, Tuyuhun and other countries. There are also a large number of spies among them, and they all use their identities as merchants as cover..."
Li Ke nodded.
Ma Qiu said: "Young Master, the Heaven and Earth branch has started to operate. In addition to the fifty people brought by my subordinates from Chang'an, more than five hundred people have been hired from here."
"Besides, after Brother Bai arrived, he set up two caravans according to your instructions, heading all the way to Xue Yantuo and all the countries in the Western Regions."
"On the Tubo side, people from Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan have come here several times, saying that they need a large amount of spirits and tea. As long as we can transport them to Liangzhou, they will have a way to transport them to the plateau."
"The people from Tashi have also been here many times. They have delivered the five hundred Dali Pills given to them by the Buddha to Luoche. They say they are very popular and each Dali Pill has been sold for a sky-high price. "
"This time they advanced one thousand taels of gold in advance."
Li Ke finally showed a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Wu Shanqiong, you do this, bring the five thousand Buddha Dali Pills, and make it clear that the marketing methods cannot be sold directly by them, they must be developed Get offline!"
"Tell Tashi's people that this time it will be 5,000 pills, next time it will be 10,000 pills, and next time it will be 20,000 pills..."
"Let them develop their downlines first, otherwise they won't be able to make money later."
Wu Shanqiong bowed and accepted the order.
