Chapter 57 The young man enters the imperial forest (4)

Nanzhao, southern Xinjiang, was composed of six thrones, and sacrifices and monarchy. The people who led the Miao people in southern Xinjiang out of difficulties several times in history were mostly sacrifices and sacrifices. At some point, the right to sacrifices even surpassed the King of Nanzhao. If Yin Ruoli was one of the heirs of the great sacrifices, then this news could be regarded as a gift from God for Li Chongyan.

Since his first war with Tubo in the Han and Tang dynasties, it was precisely because of Nanzhao's assistance to Tubo that the Han and Tang dynasties fought in Bashu. Although the Han and Tang dynasties won the war, Nanzhao did not suffer any losses. Nanzhao was trying to help Tubo openly, but secretly managed his own small abacus.

This fox, like a fence, hates it, but dares not send troops to conquer the battle, whether it is Tubo or Han and Tang dynasties. Nanzhao's terrain is complex and changeable, and beasts and poisonous insects often appear. If you are not sure, no one dares to act rashly.

Teng Yunlong has been in charge of Xichuan for 20 years. The soldiers of Xichuan Mansion were trained day and night and became an elite army in the southwest of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Now we only need to wait for an opportunity. Moreover, the Tubo Xinzanbu had just succeeded to the throne, and the new and old forces within Tubo have not been unified by Xinzanbu. If we use troops to Nanzanbu, it must end in a short period of time.

After chatting with Yin Simiao for a long time, Li Chongyan had an idea in his mind, to allow Nanjiang and southern Fujian to safely last for at least three years, and truly become the territory and granary of the Han and Tang dynasties. Most of the Baiyue people were mountain people, and they were stronger in combat in mountainous areas than in the Han and Tang dynasties. In the future, these Baiyue soldiers must be requisitioned.

Although he was not in the throne, the habit he had formed over the years was still continuing. Li Chongyan coughed a few times, and Yin Simiao instructed, "Don't work too hard on these things. Just rest assured and calm down!"

"Yes. Min inherited the throne and was more at ease. It was late at night, Uncle Yin, please rest too."

"I'd better wait a little longer. I'm old and I can't sleep when I think about it."

After Li Chongyan left, Yin Simiao sighed and returned to the wing room.

Seeing New Year's Eve, the crowds of people were surging at the Gusu wharf. Li Chongyan and his group were preparing to return to Anjing. Twenty imperial guards were divided into two teams to deal with trivial matters. Zhuge Hui and the great scholar of Wolong Academy practiced Li Chongyan together.

(Their passenger ship is a medium-sized passenger ship, seven zhang long and two zhang high. The passenger wing room has four study rooms, one separate hall, one kitchen and one room.)

"Xuansheng, you can go to the Imperial Guard after the New Year. When you get there, the merits you made in southern Fujian will be granted the corresponding military position."

Li Xuansheng said happily, "Military position? Can I be a general?"

"General? At most, he is a ninth-rank lieutenant."

Li Xuansheng immediately felt relieved, "That's fine, it's not the Imperial Guard."

Li Chongyan said in a deep voice, "What? Not satisfied?"

"No, I'm very satisfied. Grandpa Emperor, can you tell me about the Imperial Guard? Where can I go?"

"The Imperial Army is the army stationed in the capital, divided into the North and South Camps, twelve Imperial Army, a total of 120,000 people. The Imperial Army is the commander of the Great Governor, and each Imperial Army general is the commander. Under the commander, it is divided in sequence according to the rank of generals. Your Imperial Army belongs to the royal family Imperial Army in the South Camp. Now the one who commands this Imperial Army is your cousin Li Jing."

Li Xuansheng was stunned, "Li Jing? Is he a former student of Mr. Xu?"

"Is it his student? Li Jing and your father both participated in the battle with Tubo that year. Xu Zhaolong also participated as the deputy commander, but that time he returned to the Central Plains early because of illness."

Li Xuansheng asked, "Grandpa Emperor, since the previous dynasty, Tubo has often invaded the border. Why don't he directly use troops to fight?"

Li Chongyan whispered, "Tubo has been established for three hundred years, and its military strength was as high as 600,000 during its strongest period. They emerged in many wise rulers, far from comparable to the Hundred Vietnamese Zhao. If Tubo had not been vast and sparsely populated and the distance between tribes was too far, they would have the strength to enter the Central Plains when the previous dynasty was in chaos."

Although Xu Zhaolong said that Tubo soldiers were brave and good at fighting, he did not expect that the Tubo army would receive such high praise from Li Chongyan. The war that Li Qing seemed to be easy to say about him, but in fact he had a life of death.

"Grandpa Emperor, in this way, once the Tubo New Zanbu unified all the old subordinates, would he use troops to the Han and Tang dynasties?"

"I'm afraid it won't be possible in a short period of time. There are heavy troops guarding the southwest and northwest. Tubo will not do such an unwise move. If you really want to take action, you will only go north to Daxia and the Western Regions. Daxia has already been greatly damaged, and obviously there is no power to fight in front of Tubo."

Li Xuansheng listened to Li Chongyan's explanation of the situation in the countries around the Han and Tang dynasties, and benefited a lot during this period, at least the pattern in his heart gradually formed.

A day and a half later, the passenger ship arrived in Luoyang and then headed to Luoyang Palace.

The Royal Guards camp was located in Wuzhuang, Shili Town, Anjing.

An expedited letter from Luoyang was sent to the Wuzhuang Commander's Office. The commander's deputy general Xu Zheng ran to the commander's office in a short stroll, "General Li, your letter?"

General Li is naturally Li Jing. Li Jing is eight feet tall, with dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, white face and long beard, and a royal forest commander's uniform.

"My letter? From Luoyang?"

"Yes, General! Or was delivered in a hurry to eight hundred miles!"

After taking the letter and opening it and reading it, Li Jing was silent for a while. This letter was a letter of recommendation written by Li Chongyan himself, and the son of the King of Hell was coming to his Imperial Guard.

Li Jing knew very well that this kid was a big trouble. His mentor also told him that this kid had a strong martial arts skills and he might not be his opponent in a few years. Moreover, he made contributions in the Battle of the Southern Expedition, so he naturally cannot be underestimated.

Li Jing glanced at the letter in his hand and couldn't help but laugh.

"General, is it something good?"

"Xu Zheng, a little ancestor will come to you in a while. You can make some arrangements at that time. Remember to make good arrangements." Li Jing handed the letter to Xu Zheng.

After reading the letter, Xu Zheng smacked his lips and said, "This is really a troublesome job. General, I didn't expect that one day his son would come to your account. Hehe. I remember the bet made by the King of Luoyang with you back then."

Li Jing sighed, "Yes. More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. I still remember when I was fighting with him, we were all young boys."

"General, what team should I arrange?"

"Qinglin Jun! I want to see how capable that kid is? Is it as the teacher said!"

"Oh, my grandfather praised him! That's a good show! Don't worry, General, I will make arrangements. I'll wait for this little ancestor to come."

"By the way, Xu Zheng, where is Jiaer?"

Xu Zheng raised his lips and said with a wicked smile, "In the Qinglin Army camp! Sir, the eldest lady is now a graceful gentleman of soldiers in the army. Her Zuo Linwei is now a large number of people, and even the Rangers of the King of Qi were suppressed by the eldest lady."

Li Jing patted his forehead, "Hey! My daughter!"
