He had to go back to Chang'an City. Firstly, he had not seen the princess for several months, and secondly, he wanted to bring medicine to the queen.
Saving the seriously ill queen had only advantages and no disadvantages for him.
Moreover, if he took the medicine back in person, the effect would definitely be different from if he had someone take it back.
The situation in the Western Regions is already very clear. With or without him, Yiwu can be captured and Gaochang Kingdom can be captured.
As for other countries in the Western Region and the Western Turks, he is not ready for war yet.
After all, if we capture Gaochang State, the bridgehead of the Western Regions, we will be able to block all the countries in the Western Regions. If we can defeat others without fighting, why should we spend a lot of money to fight?
People will die in wars. Without people, there will be no way to develop the economy.
The Western Regions still relied on people to develop.
It's time for him to go back and preside over the development of Datang's infrastructure.
Early the next morning.
Except for the generals who went deep behind enemy lines, all the other generals came to the military camp for a meeting.
"The queen is seriously ill. My father summoned me to the capital as soon as possible. After discussion between me and the two generals, the temporary arrangements are as follows."
"General Chai Shao has an overview of the overall situation, General Li Daliang is the deputy general, assisting General Chai Shao, and Li Shu is the supervisor."
Li Xu wanted to stand up and object, but his father also called him back. Why should he be the supervisor?
This supervisor is not easy to do, so he might as well charge into the battle.
As a result, Li Ke gave him a sharp look and he shut up immediately.
Today, Li Xu has grown very fast and is considered outstanding in the youth camp. Of course, he is still not as good as those who can command battles.
But leading a battalion, apart from doing tasks, is still able to do everything.
The three of them stood up, bowed and clasped their fists, saying: "We take orders.!"
"The white-faced scholar and Ma Qiu followed the two generals, made suggestions and assisted the two generals."
"After Yiwu is captured, the white-faced scholar will be the governor of Yiwu Prefecture, and Ma Qiu will be the governor of Yiwu temporarily. After Gaochang is captured, Ma Qiu will be the governor of Gaochang."
"The two of you must win over people's hearts as soon as possible, and start major infrastructure construction with the capitals of the two countries as the center, using work as relief."
"You must understand that Gaochang Prefecture and Yiwu Prefecture will serve as the commercial and trade centers of the Western Regions and become the most prosperous cities in the Western Regions in the future, so they must plan in advance."
"We take the order!"
The two looked at each other, their eyes full of excitement. It was finally their turn to show off their talents.
"Luo Tong, Wu Deng, Su Lin, and you each lead a guard and obey General Chai Shao's military orders."
"The rest of the staff will serve under their three subordinates, and they will be chosen by you and the other three."
"We accept the order, please rest assured, young master."
Li Ke's lips twitched. There was a big difference between the Young Master and His Highness. The Young Master meant that they were His Highness's private army, while His Highness meant that they were the imperial army.
Chai Shao and Li Daliang also blinked and looked up at the sky, meaning that if you continue to give orders, we haven't heard anything.
"Please pay attention in the future. You are now generals in the army, so you should address me by my title." biquge.biz
"Yes, His Highness the King of Shu."
…
After all the instructions were given, only the Taoists and Buddhists were left, and of course, General Xue Yantuo, Pu Gu Ge. They looked at the King of Shu with expectant faces.
At this moment, they have different thoughts. Starting from Longxi, the King of Shu led everyone to win consecutive battles, and their strength became weaker and weaker.
Especially the 20,000 cavalry borrowed from Xue Yantuo, now only 8,000 are left. Brother Pugu doesn't even know how to explain to Pearl Viga Khan when he goes back.
And the thousands of disciples brought out by the Taoist family have died one after another, and the remaining ones have now become military doctors, and these people are no longer under the control of the Taoist family.
Yuyangzi and Qingyangzi's faces were dark at this moment. After all, His Highness is also a Taoist little heavenly master. How could his family deceive his own family?
Now the war is about to be won, and the Little Heavenly Master is going back to Chang'an. What about them?
Is it time to go back? If this continues, their Taoist family will be extinct.
The old Buddhist Zen Master Hui Ren had a look of pain on his face. The Buddhist family seemed to have been fooled. This damn old six had tricked their Buddhist family to death.
Along the way, there was no benefit at all, but the Buddhist disciples brought out suffered heavy casualties, especially the one thousand Shaolin monk soldiers, and now there are only more than 400 people.
The other Buddhist disciples were not much better, with more than half killed or injured.
Li Ke finally looked at the agents of these three companies, with a long-lost kind smile on his face.
"Two Taoists, Yuyangzi and Qingyangzi, followed me all the way from Chang'an to my home. Taoism has made great contributions to foreign wars on the battlefield. Without Taoist military doctors, our soldiers would have suffered heavy casualties."
"Since I am a little Taoist heavenly master, my fellow Taoists fought for the country and lost their lives in the end. I am also in pain."
"Taoism is indispensable. All Taoist friends who died in the war will be canonized according to our Taoist rules. In addition, when I return to Chang'an, I will report to my father and be buried with state gifts. As for the pension, if there are family members, it will be given to their relatives. , those who have no family members belong to the Taoists.”
"Finally, I declare that Taoists can build their own Taoist temples in Yiwu Prefecture and Gaochang Prefecture to spread Taoism."
Yuyangzi and Qingyangzi finally had smiles on their faces. After so much and the death of so many fellow Taoists, the pain was finally over.
What Taoism wants is to spread Taoism in the Western Regions, and as for other things, it doesn't matter.
"We will obey the Little Heavenly Master's orders."
After the two sat down, they glanced proudly at the old Buddhist Zen master Hui Ren. The old Zen master's eyes widened and he quickly stood up and looked at Li Ke.
"Amitabha……"
Li Ke did not give Hui Ren a chance to speak, and said directly: "The Western Regions is a Buddhist country, and it values Buddhism. The national religion of Gaochang State is Buddhism, but there is still a gap in philosophy between Buddhism in the Western Regions and Buddhism in the Central Plains..."
"This king allows the Buddhists to spread Buddhism in the two states of Yiwu, Gaochang, and absorb and accommodate Buddhism in the Western Regions, which will benefit the whole country."
"As for the construction of temples and temples, as long as you have money, you can build them no matter how extravagant they are, but there can be no more than three temples and temples in one state."
The old Zen Master Hui Ren was finally happy.
He bowed and said, "Amitabha, Buddha will protect His Highness."
Li Ke: "..."
I am a little Taoist heavenly master, and you actually asked Buddha to bless me?
You are so bullshit!
"But the Buddhist and Taoist families must participate in this final battle. If you dare to neglect, don't blame me for being unkind."
"When the war is over, you will leave some people to preach, and the rest will return to Chang'an."
"Yes..." The Buddhist and Taoist families stood up and accepted the order.
Brother Pugu looked at Li Ke eagerly. It was his turn now, right?
As a result, Li Ke stood up slowly and was about to end the meeting.
Brother Pugu quickly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, the foreign minister has something to say."
Li Ke stopped, turned to look at Brother Pugu, and sneered: "What do you have to say?"
Brother Pugu said bravely: "Your Highness, the foreign minister led 20,000 cavalry to support the Tang Dynasty. Now there are heavy casualties. Only 7,000 of the 20,000 cavalry are left, and there are no additional troops..."
"The foreign minister is thinking that the war is almost over. Should the foreign minister be allowed to return to the country?"
Li Ke walked up to Brother Pugu and said earnestly: "Xue Yantuo's 20,000 troops also contributed a lot this time. When I return to Beijing, I will truthfully report your heroic achievements. My father and the court will definitely reward you greatly. "
"The war is not over yet. The Western Region Allied Forces are like centipede insects but not dead. Therefore, Xue Yantuo warriors are still needed to charge forward."
"General Pu Gu, please rest assured that all the pension will be sent to you."
"When the war is over, you come to Chang'an City, and I will personally take care of you. When the time comes, my father will definitely reward you, and maybe you can become the southern king of Xue Yantuo..."
Brother Pugu was heartbroken, King of Pit, do you insist on bringing all the 20,000 warriors you brought out to fight for the Tang Dynasty?
He only had 20,000 people in his hands, and they all died in the battle. What's the use of a reward?
He might still be able to survive without a reward, but if he were rewarded, he would definitely die without a burial place. Their Pearl Viga Khan was not a good person.
The Khan was very suspicious. At that time, he led troops to guard the south of Xueyantuo. From time to time he sent people to beat him, and from time to time he asked him to go to the royal court to report his work.
And countless Khan's cronies were placed in the army.
However, those cronies are all dead now, but because of this, he is even more afraid of being settled by Qiu Hou.
Damn it, what the hell, now my mother doesn’t love me, my uncle doesn’t care for me, I’m like a homeless child!
"General Po Gu, do your best, don't you still believe in my character?"
"I will definitely find a way out for you, which is a hundred times better than staying in Xueyantuo. Don't believe it. If you go back now, you will definitely not get any good results. You know the character of your khan better than I do. "
Li Ke leaned into Brother Pugu's ear, whispered something, and walked out of the military camp tent.
Only Brother Pugu was left alone, in a mess in the tent.
"I have long reminded Khan that going to help Datang is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. I'm afraid there will be no return. Now it has finally come true."
After a long time, Brother Pugu sighed sadly and indignantly, full of helplessness and unwillingness.
