Zhang Xiaosong led his troops to meet up with Ashinaxian, Karolu, and Anxi Jiedushi's troops.
The other soldiers looked at him with reverence.
This was the person who turned what should have been a defensive battle into a battle of annihilation.
He had once led 10,000 soldiers and was famous in the Western Region. Now, he led 10,000 elite cavalry and destroyed anyone in his way.
He was also a Jinshi, so he was so good at fighting. The officials and the emperor would be worried.
A person who could govern and fight at the same time. He led an administration in a remote place and rebelled just like that.
The generals looked at each other and didn't know what to do next.
They were worried about Zhang Xiaosong and were afraid that the imperial court would find a reason to arrest Zhang Xiaosong for corruption.
The local government needed Zhang Xiaosong. With Zhang Xiaosong around, who would dare to come?
He brought less than 500 soldiers with him, including those who died or were injured.
After a few days, when everyone was stable, would he organize people to fight others again?
Because the grass had grown and it wasn't so cold anymore. After the harvest, there would be enough food for the army.
"I still say the same thing. I won't take a single cent from this."
Zhang Xiaosong said as he lifted his battle robe and knelt down on one knee in the direction of Chang 'an.
He was grateful, grateful to Li Longji and Li Yi.
Li Yi insisted on protecting him, even though they had never met or given each other a piece of paper.
Li Longji even increased the reward and asked if there was enough. If there wasn't enough, he would be greedy.
If he met a wise ruler, so what if he died on the battlefield?
Huala. Zhang Xiaosong knelt down, so the others could only follow suit.
Ordinary soldiers were just excited and didn't have so many tricks up their sleeves.
They had won the battle, killed so many, and captured so many. In the future, the enemy wouldn't be able to organize people to fight again.
War needed people. They couldn't get 20,000 people today and another 20,000 tomorrow.
The Tang dynasty only had 500,000 to 600,000 soldiers. They couldn't afford more.
…
"Come, let me take a look. You're recovering well. One is your diet. Don't eat too much, and don't eat anything spicy. It's easy to cause allergies, and don't touch anything."
Li Yi didn't know what was happening at the border. He was changing Li Tan's medicine.
He removed Li Tan's scar through surgery. There was hyperplastic tissue in the originally healed area, so he cut it off.
What was left behind was a wound. He could not allow the wound to grow.
Fortunately, Li Tan did not have a hyperplastic physique. Otherwise, he would have to use more hormones.
"I know how to see through things. I've also learned a little about shadows. It's easier to draw with a charcoal pencil, but it's harder to control the ink."
Li Tan, who was only twelve years old, had been working hard on his painting recently. He wanted to surpass him.
"Our Chinese Art is also very particular about light and dark. However, it can't be pure ink. At the same time, it can also have a perspective and shadow effect."
Li Yi talked about the Chinese paintings of his time. He used all kinds of brushwork. Not only were the things he painted more realistic, but they also had a charm when they were realistic.
With just one look, one would know that it came from China.
China's Chinese Art could not be painted with any other techniques. Things that could be painted with oil could not express the image of ink painting.
Some real mountains and rivers looked like Chinese paintings. This was the charm of ink painting. In this aspect, it was also realistic.
Li Yi dealt with Li Tan's face. At the same time, he discussed painting techniques with Li Tan.
Because of the injuries on his face, Li Tan, who had a bad temper in the palace, was now an obedient child.
He was willing to chat with Li Yi. He felt that Li Yi knew what he was thinking and could even bring him along to play.
He just didn't understand why when he told the Winged Knights that Big Brother Dongzhu would bring him along to play, everyone would reveal a look of fear.
These people must be guilty. Otherwise, why would they be afraid of Big Brother Dongzhu bringing them along to play? Yes, there must be something wrong!
"Li Dongzhu, if you were a King, what would you do? You can't be the Crown Prince. "Li Tan was a little confused now.
He was the eldest son of the Emperor, but he obviously could not be the Crown Prince. What would he do in the future?
In his heart, he treated Li Yi as Big Brother Dongzhu, but he did not say it out loud.
"You see, I am not even a King now. Do you think I don't do enough? People, what they want to do is not determined by their identity or position, but how much power and ideas they have.
For example, if you are a King, you want all the people in the Tang dynasty to live a good life. As long as they want to eat meat, they can eat meat for every meal.
You have to think about how to grow food to increase the production. With more food, there will naturally be more meat … … "
Li Yi explained Li Tan's dreams and ideas. He also gave many examples.
There were planting, breeding, medical treatment, education, public security, transportation …
"I should focus on painting now. When I finish painting, I will think about other things. I am still young." Li Tan felt that he did not have to worry anymore.
There were many things that could be done. He did not have to be the Crown Prince.
Yes, his Uncle King Song was very powerful now. He was in charge of the Workers' Alliance, Yi Alliance, Navy, and seafood. He heard that he had sent people to Qiongzhou to plant pepper.
"Okay, continue to maintain it. Don't touch it with your hands. Endure it even if it itches. Try to keep your face expressionless. Speak less."
Li Yi carried Li Tan again and gave medical advice.
"Okay." Li Tan did not dare to speak anymore. He nodded with a straight face.
When he went out, he saw his younger brother playing with sand. Snot was flowing out. He went over to wipe it. Then, he went to the painting room with the little boy's laughter.
Empress Wang watched from a shady place not far away. She smiled.
She knew that Li Yi would have a way to take care of both the adults and the children.
The weather had been hot recently, so she stayed on Zhuangzi. She was worried that the child would get sick from the heat. She could not even put an ice basin in it.
At the same time, she had another child. She did not know the gender. She just had it.
She was worried that there would be problems. It was better to stay in Zhuangzi than to stay in the palace.
Li Longji naturally knew the situation. So, he did not go to work this afternoon and went to the harem.
When he arrived at Zhuangzi in the evening, it was already dark for a while. He looked haggard.
When Li Yi saw Li Longji's appearance, he made a mutton pot to nourish Li Longji.
Li Yi boiled the vegetables himself. He did not need to nourish himself.
"I don't know when the war at the border will end." Li Longji straightened his back and rubbed his waist with his hand.
His muscles hurt. He had exercised too much.
Li Yi ate the cabbage and swallowed it. "We will know when we get to the Turks, Tubo, and Tuqishi."
"If they don't fight after they get the harvest, will they not fight again?" Li Longji knew what he meant.
Generally, it was the harvest of grain. They would only want to fight when they had the military provisions.
This year, the war was two months in advance. At present, the Tang dynasty had the advantage. They suffered small losses on the two battlefields and gained big gains.
Li Yi shook his head. "It depends on whether the winter is good or not. In winter, the snow in three places is too heavy. Many livestock die. They will take people to fight the Tang dynasty.
One is to consider whether they can get some benefits. The other is to divert the internal conflicts of the tribes.
Tubo's Zan Pu is smarter. He has been fighting the Tang dynasty. If he wins, he will build up his prestige.
If he loses, others can't do anything. He can ask Princess Jincheng to write a letter to ask for peace. This is another kind of prestige. "
Li Yi finally understood some things about Tubo. According to the historical data, if the Tubo's Zan Pu was not smart, he must have a powerful think tank.
