When Li Yao was invited by Qi Daishuang to rest in the temporary capital of Yanzhizhou, he saw the busy labor scene nearby, and then he soon learned where the tomboy's ambition came from.

Because at the beginning of Yanzhizhou, Qi Daishuang accepted Liang Yuandu's plan. Taking advantage of the Turks' full siege of besieging Mayi and the defense in the hinterland was empty, he chose 3,000 people to fight. He went north to Honggu Pass and ran for more than 800 miles. It was like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, sweeping all the Turkic settlements on the southern foot of Langshan Mountain, seizing tens of thousands of horses, rescuing 3,000 Han shepherd slaves, and capturing 5,000 Turkic people. He also used his own way to cure the body of the person. Wherever he went, he burned all the felt tents and slaughtered cattle and sheep, successfully completing the purpose of destroying the local living conditions.

Then, without waiting for the Turkic reinforcements to arrive, they quickly retreated along the original route with the spoils. The iron cavalry sent by the Turkic Langshan camp rushed to the bottom of Honggu Pass, but suffered heavy blows due to their poor ability to attack. They had to sigh and return with hatred.

As the ancients said, the beauty of having a fair face is called Hua, and the great etiquette is called Xia, which is called Hua.

After the war, Qi Daishuang followed Liang Yuandu's advice. In order to avoid laying the root of future chaos in Yanzhizhou, he decided to adopt the strategy of "universal assimilation" to force Turkic prisoners to untie their braids, tie their hair, change their clothes, change their clothes, and learn Chinese surnames. If there is anyone who resists or refuses to follow, no matter men, women, young and old, they will be killed immediately.

So, after a burst of people, the Turkic prisoners became so scared that they were completely honest, and the results brought by them were naturally obvious.

It took Qi Daishuang only half a month to organize tens of thousands of laborers to build a dirt castle called "Yanzhicheng" based on the existing ruins of the ancient Great Wall. Although it is too early to be completed, it can still show the prototype of a city.

Li Yao had to sigh from the bottom of his heart that although Liang Yuandu's plan was not as clever as he had expected, he was indeed a rare talent.

However, its strategy is so ruthless that it is completely incompatible with the diversified universal values ​​gradually established by the Sui and Tang dynasties.

If he hadn't had a little tampered with the historical process, if Qi Daishuang was not a female alien who grew up in a special environment, I'm afraid this man would have to be buried in the long river of time in obscurity, and I don't know how many talented people will be sent by Qi Daishuang in the future.

Although then again, without the current open and inclusive ethnic policy of the Tang Dynasty, Qi Daishuang's "Huyou tribe" could not occupy a state of hundreds of miles in one fell swoop.

However, heaven and earth have profits and losses, and all things are immortal.

No matter how powerful the dynasty is, it cannot escape the inevitable historical law of "prosperity and decline". Many painful historical facts all prove one truth--being is open and inclusive, rather than becoming powerful because of openness and inclusiveness. Once strength increases and deteriorates, those well-behaved policy beneficiaries will inevitably tear their gentle appearance, reveal their hideous claws and fangs, and ravage the land of China to an end.

Therefore, Li Yao still hopes that the "Huyou tribe" can grow rapidly and try to reduce the possibility of a complete regression for the Chinese civilization due to the rampant barbarians.

Of course, Li Yao, who was very wise in the righteousness, would not miss the opportunity to benefit himself in front of him. That night, he slept with Qi Dai and talked about a business that cannot be told to others.

Because it involves smuggling transactions, the two sides had to reach an agreement for almost a whole night: starting this year, Li Yao will exchange two hundred adult horses for Qi Daishuang for rice and grain from September to October each year at a purchase price of twice that of the imperial court.

During the entire negotiation process, Qi Daishuang did not ask about the purpose of Li Yao's purchase of military horses from beginning to end. Although they had made a good contribution to the new court before, and she also won the rank of General Zuo Xiaoqi Guard, as well as thousands of copper coins and thousands of silk, it was far from solving the food shortage caused by the sudden population increase in Yanzhizhou. She felt that Li Yao's purchases were not large, and in addition to maintaining the share collected by the court, it was also good to make some extra money appropriately.

At dawn the next day, Qi Daishuang led Qi Daluo, Liang Yuandu and other officials from Yanzhizhou to send Li Yao and his party to the border of Yanzhizhou. He reluctantly said something and then returned to the capital. In order to save time, Li Yaoyi bypassed Fanhe County and headed straight for Guzang City.

As soon as they arrived in Guzang, Li Yao and An Hongyu excitedly went to visit Princess Luling, but were told by the servant of the princess's mansion who was responsible for guarding the house that not long ago, the princess Qiao Shiwang was temporarily recruited by the court to serve in Daizhou where the war was intensified. Although Princess Luling was not accompanied, she was also recalled by Li Yuan to Chang'an.

Li Yao always wanted to know the cheap father Li Yuan's reaction to his relationship with Luling Gongji, so she only stayed in the "Yuelai Keshang" in the city for a night and urged the team to go on the road in a hurry.

Li Yao's journey back east was much faster than the west. There were not so many stops and stops on the road, and there was no need to worry about Tuyuhun's robbery. The occasional horse thieves appeared. When they saw their armed guards, which had more than one thousand powerful formations, most of them turned around and ran away. The rest of them escaped slowly, stunned, and unafraid, and not afraid of death. Naturally, they all became living targets used by Li Yao's twelve bodyguards and the children of the Dunhuang gentry to compete for riding and shooting skills.

Starting from Dunhuang, passing through the Hexi Corridor and the ten prefectures in Longyou, the journey was more than 4,000 miles. They entered Guanzhong in less than 40 days.

The children of Dunhuang gentry were all curiously looking at the most prosperous place in the world. On both sides of the spacious post road, rows of willows sway gently with the autumn wind, while the low slopes on the roadside were lush grass and colorful wild flowers embellished. During the period, after passing Longzhou, Qizhou, and entering the Jingji area, the terrain became more and more gentle. Beautiful houses along the way could be seen everywhere. Looking into the distance between both sides of the road, there were boundless fertile fields.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Dong couldn't help but exclaim: "The fertile land is thousands of miles away, and the terrain is full of fertility. I once heard that Guanzhong is the ridge of the world, and it is indeed well-known!"

Yu Qiaoqiao, who was chatting the most by Li Yao, actually shed tears in excitement. After a long time, she whispered two words in her trembling voice: "So beautiful."

At this moment, suddenly, bursts of refreshing fragrance came. An Hongyu's nose wings moved a few times quickly, then raised her hand and raised her whip. The sitting rouge horse made a long neigh, and rushed to the front like an arrow. The hot and bold voice gradually drifted away: "Mingzhen, the flowers in front are so fragrant, I'll go first, hahaha..."

As soon as he arrived at Guanzhong, where the rules were strictly regulated, Li Yao quickly changed to the white camel. Naturally, he would not chase the fire-like people in front of him. When he came to a wine shop surrounded by osmanthus flowers on the side of the road, a familiar and sweet voice immediately sounded not far away: "Mingzhen, sister has been waiting for you for a long time."

When Li Yao looked away, he saw Princess Luling wearing a snow-white big sleeved silk skirt, standing beneath the osmanthus tree with An Hongyu in a red dress, as if two lotus flowers with white and red stalks were tied.

Li Yao hurriedly got off his mount, immediately stepped forward a few steps, and asked in surprise: "Why are sister waiting here?"

Princess Luling pretended to be mysterious and smiled: "Hehe, after you passed the Great Zhen Pass, my sister received the news. After calculating the time, she saw that the scenery here is good, so she will wait for you here."

Li Yao smiled and bowed and said, "Mingzhen, thank you sister for your concern."

"I dare not take it. Actually, my sister is just doing the job..."

Princess Luling said, suddenly coughed lightly, took out a gold scroll from her cuff, and raised it slowly, her movements were not as good as the usual charming style, but exuded a solemn rhythm, and then she could hear her words:

"The imperial edict is here, Li Mingzhen accepts the edict!"
Chapter completed!
