"What kind of smile do you have? I'll tell you the ugly thing before. Although this guy is not very good, you can't make it particularly difficult for him. We train as we normally do. If this guy can't keep up,
We have reasons to keep him, but if we can keep up, no one can give up on him."
When Li Xiang saw Su Dingfang's smile, he suddenly shuddered all over. This guy probably wouldn't target anyone in particular. After living in the Western Regions for so long, Li Xiang still understood Su Dingfang's personality, and he wouldn't deliberately embarrass him.
A certain person may raise the training goals of the entire army to achieve the purpose of making this guy stay.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. We, Old Su, are not that kind of person. If he is being arrogant, even a few more people like him may not be able to set off with us. We have formulated some regulations along the way. If Your Highness is fine,
If you want, come with me to the military camp and give us some advice."
When going to a new place, we have now learned that we must make a plan in advance. We must find others to understand the local situation. If there is really no one, then we can send the vanguard first. Be sure to
Know yourself and your enemy.
"What did I come here for today? Isn't it just to discuss our march route with you? This road is indeed not very peaceful. I have heard some people say that in addition to the bad terrain, people along the way may
They won't welcome us either, so going to Nanzhao this time is even more dangerous than our trip to the Western Regions, so you must take precautions."
The two of them walked towards the tent while talking. Su Dingfang originally felt that the road was not peaceful, but when these words came out of Li Xiang's mouth, Su Dingfang became even more nervous. Since he followed Li Xiang until now, it seems that he has not
For Li Xiang to take things so seriously, could there be any wolves, tigers, and leopards along the way? We people have also experienced various situations, so this shouldn't be a problem for us, right?
Before the two of them entered the tent, the sound of horseback riding came from behind. Li Xiang looked back and saw a white-robed young man approaching from the distance. This was also an acquaintance of theirs, Qin Qiong's son Qin Huaiyu.
Originally, this guy was also transferred to the Goguryeo front line, but there was nothing going on there, so this guy started to work in the camp again, and his father sold out his old face again, and finally transferred him back from the Goguryeo front line, but he returned to
There was nothing going on after Chang'an City. The war in the Western Regions was over. Cheng Yaojin's two sons had already taken over the job. This guy had no choice but to come directly to Li Xiang.
"Okay, okay, if you are willing to follow, then follow. I will tell the emperor later that there are indeed not so many things going on in Goguryeo. We have encountered many things along the way. It is good to have someone like you."
A helper is fine, let’s go in and take a look together.”
Without waiting for Qin Huaiyu to speak, Li Xiang had already agreed. Qin Huaiyu grinned widely. After all, we are still our own people. If it had been anyone else, he probably wouldn't have been able to decide for a long time. This trip
There may be danger, but some of them, the generals, are afraid of danger. They are all afraid that nothing will happen on the battlefield. As for danger, no one cares about it.
"First tell me our route this time."
Su Dingfang returned to Chang'an City early and borrowed someone from Changsun Wuji. In the past ten days, this guy has done nothing but specially made this marching route, but he has not passed Li yet.
Because of Li Xiang's review, Su Dingfang was not sure yet. He had to ask Li Xiang about the previously planned march route. Otherwise, he would definitely have to take a lot of detours.
"The route we took is a route that everyone often takes. Starting from Chang'an City, we went south first to Yizhou, then passed Nanman, and finally entered Nanzhao. Of course it sounds very simple, but there are nearly two thousand people on the way.
As for roads, especially in this terrain, our previous road construction plans were all concentrated in the north, and we have also started to build roads in the Jiangnan area, but it is not possible here in Yizhou..."
Su Dingfang's route is still acceptable. As for building roads in this area, Li Xiang didn't agree with it at the beginning. This area is known as the Hundred Thousand Mountains. If you want to build roads in this area, rely on the current situation.
Don't even think about this technical condition. Even in the 21st century, the traffic conditions in this area cannot be compared with those on the eastern coast. It can only be said to be partially improved.
"The route is basically OK, but there are several dangerous places along the way. The first one is naturally the natural environment. After we start from Chang'an City and enter Sichuan, we will basically follow mountain trails. The soldiers must be prepared. In addition,
One is that after passing Chengdu, there is barbarian land to the south. Although these people have surrendered to us long ago, the merchants who come and go must have told you what their situation is, and they are no better than the Western Regions."
Li Xiang wrote two difficult points on the map, and the people next to him nodded. What Li Xiang said was also the most difficult point on the road, especially in this natural environment. It would be easy for a small force to pass by.
, but if a large queue goes south, it is indeed not that easy.
When Li Xiang wanted to occupy Nanzhao, the court ministers had already raised this question, and Li Xiang also gave them the answer, that is, they would all go by sea, and the land route would only consist of a few thousand elite soldiers at most, and the remaining
Many people have to rely on the Dengzhou Navy to transport them by sea, so it will be more convenient for us.
"Is there any letter from the navy?"
When Li Xiang returned to the capital, he had already sent people to deliver the message quickly. Because there was no route to the other side, everything had to be re-planned. The result should be achieved within this period of time.
"Returning to Your Highness, the letter from Navy Admiral Ding Kui has arrived. The exact route has not been found yet, but their second batch of personnel has already gone out. I believe there should be news by the end of the month."
Although Li Xiang provided them with a general direction, sea navigation still needs to be accurate. If it is not accurate, no matter how many of us there are, we may be buried in the vast sea at any time, especially when transporting a large number of troops.
They eat, drink, and eat on the boat. If you don't plan a little, these people may starve. There won't be anything to eat or drink by then, so just wait to feed the fish.
