"The source of the Yellow River already belongs to the Tang dynasty." Li Longji mentioned the battle report he received this morning.
Li Yi narrowed his eyes and frowned. "Zhang Xiaosong attacked, Guo Zhiyun and the others attacked. How many casualties did our army suffer?"
"No!" Li Longji was happy. Finally, there was something you couldn't guess.
"They ambushed and captured Zasykuzé?" Li Yi thought of another situation.
"There was a person called Guan Lin …" Li Longji didn't continue to ask Li Yi to guess. Instead, he told Li Yi the story like he was telling a story.
As Li Yi listened, his expression kept changing. He felt that this kind of thing only existed in movies.
Of course, sometimes reality was even more exaggerated than fiction.
Zasykuzé, a general, was defeated by drugs. How much did he eat? Did he go crazy just for a bite?
"Guo Zhiyun and the others weren't greedy?" While looking down on Zasykuzé and praising Guan Lin's family in his heart, Li Yi was curious about the generals who took the initiative to give the credit to Guan Lin's family.
"Isn't the credit of taking the source of the Yellow River enough? If the credit is too big, how will the imperial court reward you? "Li Longji analyzed from another angle.
"The Winged Knights were also there. Qin Li wouldn't lie," Empress Wang said.
"After that, it became more difficult to defend. The area was too big, so we could only build a city and station a large number of troops there."
Li Yi began to consider the problems they would face next. There were no Tang dynasty citizens in the area. They were all soldiers.
The Anxi army would return, and the Winged Knights would rotate. The Sixteen Guards would rotate as well.
The number of soldiers left at the end of the Yellow River was 130,000. The newly conquered area, including the original Nine Bends Land, was about 200,000 square kilometers.
Thus, they couldn't build a great wall to defend.
The best way was to find a few places and station troops there.
Once Tubo entered from another direction, the nearest garrison would immediately send troops to attack Tubo.
Tubo Master Bing, come in, I'll block you inside.
You Tubo have more soldiers, and your rear is less. I will attack your rear.
"The cement factory in Longyou needs to expand and encourage businessmen to build factories."
Li Longji and the others had obviously discussed this before. Their thoughts were the same as Li Yi's. Building a city required a large amount of cement.
Otherwise, how many years would it take to build a city out of wood and stone?
Cement production required a lot of manpower. However, sending the people who produced the cement to build the city was not as good as burning the cement.
The cement would be burned at the back, and the transportation fee for the cement would be increased. The people would use stones to build the city, and the transportation fee for the food they ate would be even higher.
When the liver was delivered, the golden eagle stood outside the cage and looked at everyone, mainly at Li Yi and Princess Yongmu.
Li Longji cut a small piece of the liver with a knife, held it with chopsticks and sent it to the golden eagle. The golden eagle turned its head and walked to Princess Yongmu.
Li Longji handed the chopsticks to Princess Yongmu: "You feed it."
Princess Yongmu squatted down and handed it to the golden eagle. The golden eagle grabbed it and swallowed it.
Li Longji continued to cut and let Princess Yongmu feed it.
"After it was caught, Wen Tian fed it. When it came back, Wen Tian held the cage." Li Yi explained the reason for the golden eagle's behavior.
One of the raptors was close to the 'people' it thought were good to it, and the other worshipped the strong.
It was probably the first time that the golden eagle saw such a creature that could fly, and it could fly with it.
"Raise it?" Li Longji looked at his daughter.
"When the injury is healed, it can fly if it wants to, in case it has a family." Princess Yongmu considered the golden eagle itself.
She didn't know if this golden eagle had a wife and children to raise. Li Yi said that if it had a child, it should be able to leave the nest and learn to fly.
It can fly but can't hunt. It needs the golden eagle couple to feed it. It has a big appetite.
The male was injured, leaving the female to hunt for the little golden eagle. It was very pitiful.
They can only count on the local small animals, and the female can hunt easily.
"Feed it more, the bird bones grow fast. I'll take a look at it and see how the bones are connected. From its state, there should be no problem."
Li Yi also hoped that the golden eagle would heal quickly.
After the golden eagle refused to eat, Li Yi picked it up and went to the hospital. X-Ray, no X-ray.
The broken sternum was indeed connected, and it never broke again.
"Okay, as long as you keep it well, you can fly again in ten days to half a month. You heal quickly."
The golden eagle stood there and didn't understand. It was taken out and put in a bigger cage with a basin and a wooden shelf close to the ground.
It could stand on the ground if it wanted to, and step on the shelf if it wanted to, without flapping its wings.
The cage door was open, and it could come out if it wanted to.
"The rest is to continue to transport Baggage to the front. Ships and propeller boats have a weakness. They are afraid of being entangled by a lot of ropes and grass."
Li Yi knew how to deal with ships. He put a lot of grass from upstream. The grass was connected and rushed down densely. Then he attacked with fire.
Li Longji put his hands behind his back. "How many people do you need to put grass on the Yellow River? Use a sheepskin raft to attack with fire and add a long pole on the boat. "
He didn't care. The Yellow River had a large flow and was wide. Tubo didn't have a wooden boat to attack with fire.
…
"The real trouble is coming. A large area of land belongs to the Tang dynasty. Defense, peace talks, logistics."
In the Political Affairs Hall, Bi Goo and the other two people were worried together.
The land was occupied, but transportation was a big problem. Ordinary people couldn't withstand the altitude sickness.
The manpower that could go was limited. After that, a lot of things were waiting, such as who to send to reinforce the rear and whether the local people could get enough money.
How to deal with the relationship with Tubo? The land belonged to the Tang dynasty. Of course, peace was needed. Would Tubo agree?
"Li Yi mentioned that we should cooperate and give Tubo money." As the Minister of War, Su Yi could only think according to Li Yi's words.
The Great Tang's reply was written as such. The messenger team brought gifts to Princess Jincheng and the Tubo's Prajnaparamita.
A few glass mirrors, thermos bottles, kerosene lamps, kerosene, and two bicycles.
War was war, but Princess Jincheng had to take care of her face. When Tubo handed over the "letter of credence", he brought gifts.
Song Jing held the tea without drinking. "After this defeat, Tubo's tribes that have left their territory are close to the Tang army. They have lost their fighting spirit.
Tubo will transfer troops from other places. Baggage will be in a difficult position. Maybe in winter, they can force the tribes that lack food to attack. "
"More hot air balloons and firearms." Bi Goo couldn't think of any other way.
He counted on the Li Family Zhuangzi to help. The Winged Knights had already begun to help build things.
"What's the Tubo envoys doing in the Honglu Temple?" Bi Goo mentioned Bo Zhu and the others.
The news was not blocked. The whole capital government knew. The people cheered. They donated money.
The Tubo envoys were probably in a bad mood. Would they think about making trouble in Chang 'an?
"They'll be fine once they get used to it." Su'Er said with uncertainty. The Tibetan envoys had heard too much of the information that was sent to them, and they probably didn't think much of it anymore.
"How can they get used to it? Ask the people from the Honglu Temple to come and ask them. Keep an eye on them. Don't let them catch fire or have any casualties. "
Bi Goo was afraid that Isinba and the others would do something desperate.
Bo Zhu and the others were in a daze. They were preparing for dinner. They were all listless.
