The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1767
Anyway, they had to go north, and Longshou was originally in the north of Chang'an City, so it was more convenient.

When Xuan Shijing arrived at Chongxuanmen, it was already daylight, and it was time to go to court, but today, because of the large army, Li Chengqian led all the civil and military officials to see off the soldiers on the tower of Chongxuanmen.

Ashina Simo and Qibi Heli came earlier than Xuan Shijing, and both of them wore armor. Although Ashina Simo was not young, he still looked old and vigorous, practicing martial arts A person's body looks younger than an ordinary person's.

Although he is a general, he has not always been outside and on the battlefield for so many years, so he does not show vicissitudes. Since Ashina Simo and Qibi Heli served in Datang, they rarely have the opportunity to go to the battlefield , Most of the wars in the Tang Dynasty were external, and the generals in the DPRK and China almost divided up the positions among the generals. Moreover, when fighting Gaochang and Xue Yantuo, especially when fighting Xue Yantuo, they would not use them anymore. It's not that they doubted them. Loyalty to Datang is just understanding that they are unwilling to turn their swords against their close allies a few days ago.

But it is different now. After Xue Yantuo went through the last war with Datang, the relationship between Tie Le and other ministries and Xue Yantuo has long since faded.

They all descended to the Tang Dynasty together, but Xue Yantuo turned against him and almost implicated Tie Le. If Qibi Heli led Tie Le and made good friends with Xue Yantuo, then there would be a problem. If Xue Yantuo is not honest next time, If Qibi Heli goes to fight Xue Yantuo again, there will be no psychological burden.

Before Xuan Shijing went out, he had already changed into his armor. Although he came in a carriage, he got out of the carriage and rode on the horse before arriving at Chongxuanmen.

The war horse under Xuan Shijing's crotch also has a background. When he rode it, he realized that the lion horse in Jinyang was a mare.
Lion Cong is Dawan's Maxima, and the war horses bred from the blood of such horses are naturally extraordinary.

As the chief general of the first army, Xuan Shijing's arrival was not too early in terms of time.

As soon as he stood still in front of the army, Li Chengqian on the tower walked to the edge of the battlements, glanced at the army below, looked at Xuan Shijing, and nodded slightly when he saw Xuan Shijing.

The banners erected high in the army fluttered against the morning wind. Li Chengqian's voice, like a loudspeaker, was transmitted to the ears of the soldiers below. Only Li Chengqian knew that standing on the battlements and facing down When speaking, it takes a lot of effort to have such an effect. On the surface, it has to be calm and calm.

Of course, I didn't expect many people to be able to understand Li Chengqian's speech, as long as the people downstairs at the city gate could hear the voice, that's enough. Generally speaking, the emperor wouldn't stand on the city gate and speak like this when the army went out to fight. But Li Chengqian is not the emperor, he is the prince. Before the army goes out, it is still okay to show up and boost morale.

What should be said has already been said before the expedition.

With the army's three roars and tsunami, the army can officially move out.

Xuan Shijing and the other two generals walked in front. Gao Jun and Chang Le, as Xuan Shijing's guards, walked behind the three of them. people go.

Of course, this is just a formation for marching. After walking, the three leaders can go to the central army.

I didn't see any army, but the commander opened the way for the army in front. That's what the front army or the vanguard army should do.

This is not the first time for Ashina Simo and Qibi Heli to see Xuan Shijing. When they were in Chang'an before, they could meet each other in the palace every year and festival, but they could chat and talk. This was the first time. It's just that these two people praised Xuan Shijing all at once, such as being young and promising, having great fame and so on.

Xuan Shijing is indeed young, and it is true that among his peers, Xuan Shijing's qualifications are shown on the bright side, which can scare many people. These two people praised Xuan Shijing, and they are telling the truth.

Xuan Shijing could only be modest and repeatedly waved his hands to decline. Both of them were older than Xuan Shijing. Hearing them boasting so much, Xuan Shijing felt uncomfortable, especially Ashina Simo. The king of the Tang Dynasty, in terms of quality, is on the same level as Li Xiaogong.

"How long has it been since General Ashina returned to the grassland?" During the chat, Xuan Shijing looked at Ashina Simo and asked.

Hearing this question, Ashina Simo sighed with emotion: "It has been more than ten years, and now the tribe is in the land of Datang, and I have been in Chang'an most of the time."

"Are the general's people still used to living in the Great Wall?" Xuan Shijing asked again.

Ashina Simo shook his head: "Perhaps I'm not used to it. They all came from the grassland. Although they have their own land and are learning how to farm, they are all grassland people anyway. They are used to being free. It’s not better to say it.”

"If there is still a chance for the general's people to return to a peaceful and tranquil grassland, what does the general think?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Although the Tang Dynasty beat the Turks on the grassland into what they are now, they still had no way to truly control the grassland territory. It's not that they didn't set up the Protectorate on the grassland before, but it was really difficult to move forward. I just gave up that place, the grassland is not Liaodong, it is not Xiongjin, there is no way to make the land look like Guanzhong, to plant land for the people, and the people in the Central Plains have their hometown, and they will not leave their homes to go to the grassland farming.

He hadn't had the time to pay attention to the grassland before, but this time he was about to go to the Anbei Governor's Mansion, so Xuan Shijing set his sights on the grassland again.

The looms at the Engineering College have also begun to improve, and a large amount of wool is needed for experimentation. This time Xuan Shijing went to the Anbei Dufu Mansion and brought back some wool from the grassland. If the looms are improved successfully, The wool on the prairie has become a good thing. This is a lucrative business. At that time, are you afraid that Datang will not be able to tie the herdsmen on the prairie?

Wool, cows, a glass of milk every day, strong Tang people!

However, this goal is not easy to achieve. There is no suitable sterilization and sealing technology at the moment. Even if there is fresh milk on the grassland, it is a big project to transport it to Guanzhong. It is necessary to find a suitable method.

The road always has to be walked out step by step, as long as you take the first step, then just walk slowly.

Hearing Xuan Shijing ask this question, Ashina Simo shook his head and said, "There can be no peace and tranquility on the grassland."
