I didn’t tell anyone about the bet between me and Longkodo. He wouldn’t tell anyone about such a thing. After all, it involved the map of the Gate of Eternal Life.

He was also afraid that someone would peek into the map, and who knew if someone might plot against him.

Although his strength is considered to be top-notch, there is no guarantee that he will be tricked by others secretly. This is my life-long principle.

Low profile!

If he wasn't keeping a low profile, he might have gone to see Qin Shihuang long ago!

Li Yifu also received an imperial edict from Li Shimin the next day, conferring him the title of Marquis of Yongle. This made Li Yifu extremely happy.

Not only did he be granted the title of Marquis, but he was also rewarded with a mansion in Chang'an and a thousand acres of fertile land. It can be said that he was granted the title of Marquis.

However, Li Yifu no longer has a father or a mother. He only has one wife, and now he has taken her in.

Regarding this point, Li Yifu is not ungrateful.

Of course, my gratitude to Luo Zhang comes from the bottom of my heart, and I am even more proud of my original decision.

If he hadn't followed Luo Zhang before he became famous, he wouldn't be where he is now.

However, these rewards also had to be paid. After cleaning up for a day, Li Yifu led a large group of people on his way to the Western Regions.

This time, there were many royal servants accompanying Li Yifu to the Western Regions. Although there were no strong ones in the Return to Void Realm, there were three innate strong men, all of whom were around the late Xiantian stage in strength.

It can be regarded as a kind of protection for Li Yifu. After all, Li Yifu's negotiations are very critical.

If the Great Food Country and the alliance of other countries agree to join forces to defeat Longkodo's undead army, then the Tang Dynasty will be more certain of winning.

The day after Li Yifu left, Luo Zhang also came to the palace after settling his family affairs.

Luo Zhang is also ready to leave. Luo Zhang can't worry about the matters in Anxi and leaves them to Su Dingfang.

Although Su Dingfang is still very capable, this matter is related to the destiny of the country, and all aspects of coordination must be done by Luo Zhang. Without him, Su Dingfang can't handle it.

In the palace, there were still four people including Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, and Luo Zhang. A total of six people were sitting in front of a tea table made by Luo Zhang, drinking Kung Fu tea.

The tea maker is naturally Luo Zhang, he is the youngest here, and sitting here is not based on official position, but on seniority.

Of course, Li Shimin is the eldest. He is the emperor, so how can he discuss seniority with you?

The others were all older than Luo Zhang and were his uncles. If he didn't make tea, who would make the tea?

Drinking tea, everyone discussed the following matters.

"Currently, a total of 800,000 soldiers have been mobilized from various places. This is already the limit of soldiers from various places. Some must be left to guard the four directions. Otherwise, if some turmoil occurs and the rear is unstable, it will be bad!" Li Jing

The first one spoke up and said, now that he is the Minister of the Ministry of War, he is naturally responsible for this matter.

After hearing this, everyone shook their heads. Fang Xuanling sighed: "It's still not enough!"

"There is no way. As Luo Zhang said, the population of our Datang is still too small. It is not enough to have such an army. In fact, it is enough for this population!"

"We can't afford to raise too many sergeants!" Li Jing explained.

"Indeed, 800,000 troops is already a lot. Adding in the 200,000 troops stationed in Anxi, there are a million troops!" Du Ruhui nodded.

"Recruitment has also begun in various places. According to the news from various states and counties, the total number of people joining the army has now reached two million. However, this is just the primary election and has not been selected. Even if the conditions are relaxed, half of them will be left in the end.

Not bad." Du Ruhui continued.

"It will take some time for these people to be effective. If they don't train well, even if they go to the battlefield, they will die. It's better not to go!" Li Xiaogong sighed.

"It's better than nothing. If our country, the Tang Dynasty, is destroyed, they will also die. They might as well die on the battlefield!" Li Jing said.

"Food and grass are now being mobilized from various places and transported to Anxi. Now there is enough food and grass." Fang Xuanling continued.

"The artillery is also being transferred from various places to Anxi. Now the weapons workshop is working hard to build the Mithril sword. There is no time to build the artillery. Fortunately, a lot of them were built before and sent to various places. Now they are being transferred.
