Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

Murong Huayun didn't expect Li Chengqian to trust him so much.

One must know that Murong Huayun's prestige in the plateau area is extremely high. If he has the military power in Tubo and Tuyuhun, he can become king and emperor at any time.

"Then what else?" Li Chengqian said very easily, without any scruples, "I'm still afraid that you won't be able to rule the roost separately?"

Murong Huayun glanced at the ruins of the Tubo barracks, yes, there is the Shenwei army, who is Li Chengqian afraid of, who can dominate under the crazy baptism of the Shenwei army's artillery fire?

Murong Huayun turned around and bowed to Li Chengqian: "The final general is grateful for His Highness's trust, and will definitely live up to His Highness's entrustment."

Li Chengqian looked at his sincere and firm eyes and nodded.

It is his character to know people and make good use of them.

Whether it is Zhang Xiong, the highest military officer in Gaochang, or Murong Huayun, the highest military officer in the plateau region, Li Chengqian knows what they believe in at the bottom of their hearts.

Maybe their previous master didn't understand, but Li Chengqian did.

Half a month later...

Changsun Wuji led the court officials from Fuqi City to Duomi Pass.

In the past half month, Li Chengqian did not set foot on the land of Tubo, but the surrender stickers were already full of documents.

After the news that Songtsan Gampo was killed by the Yak River and the 30 Tubo army was completely damaged was spread to Tubo, the whole country was in an uproar.

In order to protect themselves, the chiefs of various tribes broke away from Tubo and turned to Li Chengqian.

After all, they have heard of Li Chengqian's extermination of the Turks.

However, Li Chengqian didn't meet anyone, and put all the government affairs on to Murong Huayun. He spent half a month admiring the sights near Duomi Pass.

Until Changsun Wuji came to hand over government affairs.

"Uncle." Li Chengqian called the eldest grandson Wuji who was walking towards him with a happy face.

The words fall...

Changsun Wuji lowered his face, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I have told you many times, you should not call me this way outside, because it will be detrimental to your status as the prince of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Chengqian didn't take it seriously, "Hehe, do you think my status as the crown prince is supported by these worldly gifts?"

"It depends on them."

Li Chengqian pointed to several Shenwei cannons beside him.

After hearing this, Changsun Wuji stopped persuading him. Whoever made this nephew so powerful, no one would want to touch his bad luck if he wanted to come to the Tang Dynasty.

"Old minister, I heard that you used 20 Shenwei cannons to destroy the [-] Tubo army in half an hour. It's really amazing, amazing."

"The old minister thought that this thing is very powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so huge."

Changsun Wuji looked at the Shenwei Cannon beside him with joy and praised him again and again.

Immediately afterwards, he continued: "By the way, Your Highness, I heard that you don't plan to visit some cities anymore?"

"I won't go." Li Chengqian shook his head, "The overall situation between Tuyuhun and Tubo has been decided, and it doesn't make any sense for me to go again. The next thing will depend on you, Uncle."

"Your Highness, don't worry." Changsun Wuji saluted and said, "The Tuyuhun Protectorate has started to operate normally, and the veteran is confident that the Tubo Protectorate will be established within two months."

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "That's hard work, Uncle."

Chapter 468

Chang'an City...

Ganlu Hall...

"General!"

Li Shimin aimed the cannon at the red handsome chess on the board.

"Hehe..." Sitting opposite Li Shimin, Wei Zheng shook his head and smiled wryly, "Your Majesty, I have lost again."

"Your Majesty, I'm not good at chess, why do you always let me play chess with you?"

Li Shimin threw the chess pieces in his hand onto the chessboard, "That's because you won't give in to me on purpose, no matter whether you win or lose, I play comfortably, unlike them, who don't mean what they say."

The several onlookers around the state listened, and they were all silent.

They don't have Wei Zheng's two moves, no matter whether they are admonishing or playing chess, they will not leave Li Shimin the slightest leeway.

Wei Zheng smiled awkwardly, he didn't know whether Li Shimin was praising him or scolding him, but he didn't care.

But the process of biting the gold was impatient, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I played chess with you, but I didn't hide my clumsiness at all. It exhausted my wisdom."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding princes couldn't help laughing out loud.

Li Shimin turned his head to look at him, raised his eyebrows, "If I still need you to give way, I don't care if I don't play this chess."

Cheng Yaojin's face darkened when he heard the words, he felt that these words did not sound like a compliment to him.

Speaking of which, at this time, the old eunuch Chen Lin came quickly from outside the palace, with a happy expression on his face, "Your Majesty, there is a good news from the direction of Tubo, and His Royal Highness has won the battle."

Li Shimin hurriedly stood up from the futon, and said impatiently: "Chengqian has won a complete victory, please submit the victory report quickly."

After hearing these words, the several princes all smiled. The war between Tubo and Tuyuhun subsided, and there were no strong enemies on the frontiers around the Tang Dynasty.

Recovering the plateau area is really unprecedented.

"Hahaha..." Li Shimin laughed loudly while watching the victory report, "He is really a good son of mine. I didn't expect Chengqian to take down Tubo and Tuyuhun in less than half a year."

"Look at what is written in this victory report. The Shenwei Army set up Shenwei artillery outside Domi Pass to cover the Tubo camp with firepower. In less than half an hour, 20 Tubo troops, including Songtsan Gampo, were killed in the sea of ​​flames. The Tubo military was devastated."

"I just said that this Shenwei cannon is powerful, and it really is."

As the words fell, the surrounding princes frowned slightly. At the beginning, no one said that the Shenwei cannon was just for show and could not be put on the stage.

Now laughing again and again.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty."

……

Although I thought about it in my heart, I still had to say something polite to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin turned to Chen Lin and said, "Where is Chengqian now, and when will he return to Chang'an, I will reward him heavily."

Chen Lin saluted and said: "Go back to Your Majesty, the postman said that His Highness the Crown Prince has already passed the Dafei Pass. According to the calculation of the time, it is estimated that he will be able to return to Chang'an in half a month."

Li Shimin nodded again and again, "Okay, very good..."

After capturing Tuyuhun and Tubo, Datang could really recuperate, and there was no country around that could threaten Datang.

at the same time.

Li Chengqian has led the white robe army to the Longxi area.

It's late May, the weather is getting warmer, and the rain this year has been more abundant than usual.

It has been raining for nearly seven days.

In the canopy next to the farmland, several farmers looked at the crops in the field with joy on their faces.

There will be a good harvest this year.

Several children were playing in the mud of the official road, enjoying themselves happily.

Seeing the raindrops falling on the coir raincoat and the farmland on both sides of the official road, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel relieved.

My own efforts were not in vain, and the people gradually lived a stable life.

"Alas... I don't know when the rain will stop." Yuchi Baolin sighed from the side.

"Isn't this rain good?" Li Chengqian looked sideways at him, "Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the common people depend on this spring rain to live their lives."

"It's not bad." Yuchi Baolin sighed again, "Your Highness, take a look at this official road. Where does it look like an official road? It's full of mud. It's so hard for us white-robed soldiers to walk, let alone the people."

"Hehe..." Xue Rengui rode forward, "I can't tell, when did Master Yuchi learn to care about people's livelihood?"

Yuchi Baolin said embarrassedly: "Brother Xue, don't make fun of me."

The commanders of the battalions of the White Robe Army were tough men on the battlefield, but they became ordinary people off the battlefield.

Li Chengqian responded: "Baolin's words are reasonable. This land has been in war for many years, and the people have just lived a life of food and clothing. Many infrastructures in the Tang Dynasty need to be improved."

"Infrastructure?" Yuchi Baolin was confused, "Your Highness, what is infrastructure?"

Li Chengqian explained: "The official road is the infrastructure. If the road is blocked, people will be blocked, agriculture will be blocked, and business will be blocked. Therefore, road construction is a very necessary thing for Tang Dynasty today."

"If the Tang Dynasty wants to develop, it must first cultivate these official ways."

After hearing this, Yuchi Baolin was full of joy, "Listen, listen, His Royal Highness agrees with what I said, I just said that this road is too difficult to walk, it only rained lightly and it became like this, the army left It’s inconvenient for everyone, let alone the common people.”

Today's official roads are all approved by the imperial court, the Ministry of Households allocates silver, and are built according to certain standards. The level is equivalent to modern national roads.

Ancient science and technology was backward, there was no cement road, only dirt road, sand road, stone or brick road.

In cloudy and rainy weather, the official roads will be full of mud. Even the brick roads are very slippery and difficult to walk on. Some mountain roads and riverside roads are even more dangerous to walk on.

It is extremely rare to pave official roads with stones and bricks, and they usually appear in cities.

Brick roads are standard for pedestrian streets in modern times, so it can be seen how inconvenient the traffic was in ancient times.

As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, you must first build roads, have fewer children, and grow more trees.

Xue Rengui clicked his tongue and said: "Although that's the case, how much money will it cost? Our Tang Dynasty now has such a vast land. According to my estimation, this is more than the silver taels needed to build a Chang'an city."

When this matter was mentioned, Wang Xuance on the side also became interested, and rode his horse to their side, "Rengui, that's not what I said in fact. The road construction is the same as the development of the Tang Dynasty, and it can't be completed overnight. It’s a matter of perseverance.”

"It may seem difficult now, but if we look at this matter a hundred years later, what kind of scene will the Tang Dynasty's official path be like?"

"Xuance is right." Li Chengqian responded: "Many things we do for the development of Datang in the future may not see results in a short period of time, and we may even see real money poured into it. I don’t see any rewards, but the more things like this, the more it can promote the development of Datang.”

"These things will be Datang's century-old plan."

Chapter 469

After half a month.

Li Chengqian returned to Chang'an City.

As usual, after returning, send the ashes of the sacrificed soldiers to the Hall of Valor.

Victory and victory.

The White Robe Army, the Shenwei Army and the Medical Army received the rewards they deserved.

The treasury of the Tang Dynasty was full, so Li Shimin was naturally very generous, and the soldiers of all armies rewarded a lot of gold and silver.

After the white-robed army returned to the camp, Li Chengqian gave them a holiday.

After the fierce battle on the plateau, they also need to relax.

Li Chengqian rested in the East Palace for seven days.

Enjoying flowers every day, fishing, and taking a bubble bath are very comfortable.

It has been a few years since I came to Datang. Li Chengqian thought about it, and his life was really fulfilling.

Unknowingly, the trajectory of history has been completely changed by him. Whether it is the enemies of later generations or brothers, those who should be destroyed have been destroyed, and those who should return to the embrace of the motherland have also returned.

The next time is to develop the national economy and the people's livelihood of the Tang Dynasty. The only powerful enemies in the world are Persia, the Byzantine Empire, the Arab Empire and other rising Western empires. Li Chengqian does not have much intention to deal with them at present.

And today's Persia should be in the midst of endless civil war. Judging from the normal historical trend, Persia at this time should change its monarch every year.

Apart from these three famous empires, there is no other country that is too strong in this era.

The Shenwei Army has been established, and the blueprints for the Shenwei Firecrackers have been obtained. Datang's military will also change from the era of cold weapons to the era of hot weapons.

After all, no matter how strong an army of cold weapons is, it can only be crushed against an army of hot weapons.

This is the trend of the times and is irreversible.

Chang'an City...

East Palace...

"Your Highness, what are you carving?" Ling'er asked curiously as she looked at Li Chengqian who was carving with a carving knife.

"globe."

"Globe? What's that?"

"It's a map of our world."
