Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 125 Li Chengdao’s promise, the Han people standing above everything!

If you cultivate yourself...
Training war horses and training ordinary horses are completely different in nature. Ordinary horses have greater endurance and can withstand hard and heavy work.

However, they are not suitable for galloping back and forth on the battlefield and rushing thousands of miles, so it is necessary to breed war horses with excellent breeds, tall and strong physiques.

The real key factors in breeding war horses are money and horse breed.

Considering the current strength of Baiyun City, with the economic support of Dayan, it is generally not short of money. At least if it wants to breed war horses, the money can definitely be taken out.

The real difficulty lies in the horse breed, which is the key reason why Baiyun City cannot produce it on its own.

In other words, this Baiyun City will never be able to produce horses!

Li Chengdao nodded: "This king knew about your situation a long time ago, so before arriving, he sent a letter to the King of Baiyue in the south to contact the King of Baiyue in Baiyue."

"In the past few days, I have established contact with the King of Baiyue. Since they hate the Tang Dynasty and our army wants to fight against the Tang Dynasty, they will sell us excellent horses."

Speaking of contacting Baiyue, it was a last resort.

Right now, Dayan is surrounded by enemies on all sides. Unless a war breaks out, other places will not be able to get horses in peacetime, and the Tang Dynasty will not sell horses to them.

Therefore, they could only contact Baiyue and other countries near Jiangdong that were hostile to the Tang Dynasty.

The Baiyue people had always been at odds with the Tang Dynasty. After learning that Dayan was going to go to war with the Tang Dynasty and wanted to become a bridgehead to contain the Tang Dynasty, they naturally had no objection to establishing a cooperative relationship.

After several days of contact, Li Chengdao has reached a consensus with the King of Baiyue. Baiyue will prepare a batch of good horses, and he, Li Chengdao, will use money to buy them. The transaction will be carried out in the near future.

Originally, we thought that the hundreds of thousands of troops of Dayan would gain a foothold for the time being and then slowly approach. But now that Li Jing is approaching and the war is imminent, we have to advance the march.

"Your Highness, does Baiyue have good horses?" Pei Xingjian asked in surprise.

Li Chengdao nodded: "The war horses they breed are as mobile as our war horses. If they are equipped with our unique saddles, they will even be faster."

Pei Xingjian's eyes widened.

He really didn't know that there were excellent breeds of war horses in the area where Baiyue was located.

After arriving in the Tang Dynasty, he did his homework on the country.

In the minds of the Tang Dynasty's generals Wen Han and even General Li Shimin, the land occupied by the Baiyue people was nothing more than a group of poor people.

They are indeed ambitious, but they are also very poor. I didn't expect that they still have a white horse that is worthy of Your Highness' praise.

He wouldn't believe it if someone else said this, but this is what the King of Chu said!
Pei Xingjian believed it more than anyone else.

"Your Highness, then...then! Shall I go now?" Pei Xingjian was a little excited.

He missed the time when the Yaoguang Camp was fully staffed.

Li Chengdao smiled and said, "Well, I'll send you a letter later, and you and your Yaoguang Battalion, along with all the Yaoguang Guard reserve troops, can go to Baiyue."

"Remember, this journey is long and your only goal is Baiyue. Don't delay."

Pei Xingjian smiled and said, "Okay!"

Subsequently.

Li Chengdao immediately wrote a letter and gave it to Pei Xingjian, and then Pei Xingjian took his leave.

……

Baiyun City, inner city.

This is currently and temporarily where the Da Yan army and logistics personnel live.

Since the number of troops numbering hundreds of thousands is too large, there are still many arrangements every day to arrange the Wangshiwan army to continuously fill in various places south of Rujiangwan.

We must first gain a firm foothold before we can launch a formal and fatal attack on Rujiang Bay.

And this inner city of Baiyun City,
It is currently the place where Han people who are loyal to the Yan Kingdom live.

Although the facilities in the inner city are better than those in the outer city, sometimes people in the inner city still have to go outside to buy vegetables.

However, something unusual happened today.

"Bang!!"

A Western Roman citizen pushed the inner city citizen to the ground, his eyes filled with bloodshot: "Why! You used to be my slave, slave Awu, you are my family's slave!"

"Why are you standing on my head? Why!!!"

The bloodshot eyes of that man frightened the commoner named "Awu". He was afraid, he was too afraid.

A few months ago he was that man's slave and was tortured so badly that he lost even one of his fingers.

Awu knew very well how terrifying that man was.

He didn't dare to resist.

This has become a habit. If you resist, you will be beaten. It was always like this in Rome. Now, even if you try to stand up, you will still be afraid.

Awu crawled on the ground with his hands on his head.

He was afraid that the man would hit him, and when he was beaten before, this position was the least painful, at least he could save his head.

"I, I didn't mean to stand on your head."

Awu replied weakly.

When the man saw Ah Wu showing weakness, his expression became even more ferocious: "Hahaha, you still know that you are my slave! Now the Yan Kingdom Emperor Li Chengdao has promoted you to a high position, so what? Slaves will always be slaves!"

"You so-called Han people will always be my Western slaves! Even if I dress you up in luxurious clothes, it will still be the same!!"

The man laughed heartily, and his words were confirmed by many Western Roman slaves around him.

Yes!

A slave will always be a slave!

Why do these people live in the inner city?

They who live in the outer city should be living in the inner city. They are not slaves!
however.

Before they could act recklessly for long, several soldiers from Dayan came over.

One of the soldiers looked at the fallen civilian, squatted down to help him up, and then asked around: "What happened?"

The man who pushed Ah Wu to the ground was a little scared, but he still smiled and said, "Sir, he fell to the ground accidentally. I didn't do anything. We didn't do anything. Tell me, is that right?"

The people around were from the outer city and the west, and they all echoed the sentiment.

"Yes! He fell down by himself!"

"That's right!"

"......."

Public opinion was on that man's side, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at least he was not targeted by these ruthless murderers.

However, the next moment, the Dayan soldier laughed and said, "Is that so? Letting the noble inner city people fall to the ground is the sin of you Westerners."

"You are the closest one. Behead you and make an example for others. Everyone around you will be beaten with thirty sticks!"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone was shocked.

"What? How can this be possible!"

"Yes, no!"

"The law cannot punish the masses, General!"

"..."

D?

The so-called law...
In this Baiyun City, this Yanyun City ruled by that man, the people in the inner city are above everything else, even in the entire Da Yan, they are the law! !
This Dayan soldier was once a Han slave, and he couldn't stand these people.

No mercy.

The Dayan soldier drew his sword and killed the Westerner who pushed Awu to the ground on the spot. The rest of the people would all be beaten with thirty sticks soon after.

"Are you OK?"

The Self-Defense Force soldier looked at Takeru.

Ah Wu looked at his former master with trembling eyes: "He, is dead?"
