It was already late at night after reading the introduction of the military units. Li Xiang fell into a deep sleep in the center of the town. Early the next morning, Zhang Qingyun and Xia Li rode their horses and whips and returned to Xiliang City as quickly as possible.
When the two people returned to Xiliang City, they saw a large section of the city wall outside. If there was not only one city in this place, they both thought they had walked out of the place.
The battle flag of Xiliang City fluttered on the city wall. The two passed through the thick city gate and returned to Xiliang City. The horseshoes stepped on the stone road, making a crisp sound, and the buildings on both sides changed.
The two have lived in Xiliang City for a year. They are very familiar with Xiliang City, but now they feel a little strange.
The buildings in Xiliang City have become very luxurious. Yes, it can only be described as luxurious. The residential buildings have become so luxurious that two people almost don't recognize each other.
They just went out not long ago!
It only takes a month at most. How does the entire city change in just one month?
Fortunately, the main road has not changed. Along the main road, they can see the tallest building in the distance, the city center of Xiliang City. They don't know that the Lord calls the City Lord's Mansion the city center.
The two rode their horses there, but there were not many people on the road. The people of Xiliang were restless, and few wanted to wander around the city.
Soon they arrived outside the city lord. From a distance, they could see a large number of high-ranking officers from Xiliang walking out of the city center. These officers, who were expressionless in the eyes of the two of them, now had unconcealable joy on their faces.
, as if everyone got something good.
The officers mounted their horses and rode away. When the two of them walked inside, they saw Li Xiang in the yard with a look of pain on his face.
"Lord, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Qingyun walked up to Li Xiang. He had seen Li Xiang look like this several times. A large amount of silver was fished away by Manager Li Yi: "The silver was stolen by Li Yi again."
Did the steward take it away?"
Li Xiang sighed: "If Li Yi takes it away, it's not bad. This time, those small coins really can't be returned. Let's not talk about this. Aren't you presiding over the annexation plan? Why are you back?"
When Zhang Qingyun heard what Li Xiang said, he remembered his mission this time: "Master, I just got a piece of news from Zhao Qingsong at Qingye Xuan!"
"What news?" Li Xiang said nonchalantly. The news from Daqian generally has nothing to do with them outside the customs. In the past two months, Daqian has not sent anyone outside the customs.
Zhang Qingyun said: "The grassland people have rebelled. Now the entire Daqian is preparing for war. Starting from next month, the price of grain and grass outside the customs will double again!"
Li Xiang was stunned. He only heard that a prairie man had rebelled. He stood up suddenly and said, "S, you said that the prairie man rebelled?"
Zhang Qingyun nodded: "I heard what Zhao Qingsong said. General Li Zhen sent from Kyoto first went to the north to command the army of the north. Millions of string control men were gathered on the grassland, and large-scale recruitment began in various places in Daqian.
Those prisoners formed a criminal army and were sent to the battlefield!"
"No one will go outside the customs for a long time. Because of the war, the price of food and grass will also increase. Lord, this is an opportunity for us. When those people have no food and grass, they will have to beg.
us?"
Zhang Qingyun has not thought about taking this opportunity to attack the territory of Daqian. Although the rebellion of the grassland people has attracted the attention of the empire, it does not mean that the empire will allow chaos to occur in other places.
The White Lotus Sect in the southwest does not dare to cause trouble now, because Kyoto has sent a top general, Yu Chijing!
There was some struggle in Li Xiang's eyes. The grassland people were rebellious. When Qingsong Lao Dao came over, he had felt it. After the grassland people had eliminated all the resistance on the grassland, how could they still be afraid of the rebellion without any worries?
The grassland people have lived very well over the years. Unlike other ethnic groups that were conquered by Daqian, these grassland people live on the grassland. They retain their own beliefs and own a large number of horses.
When the Dagan was strong, they were the shepherd dogs of the Dagan. Now that the Dagan has weakened, they turned into bloodthirsty wolves, got rid of the Dagan, and returned to their world.
Li Xiang had thought before that he would have a chance only if the grassland people rebelled. Otherwise, the Great Wall Legion alone could stop them. If Daqian was not chaotic, he would have no chance at all. Daqian had a large population and countless masters.
If he rushes over like a fool, forget it
If you break through the blockade of the Great Wall Legion, you will probably be directly destroyed by Daqian's assembled troops, and the entire forest of ferocious beasts may cease to exist!
But how could he be the one who led the army north? Did the old emperor understand that only generals could help him stabilize the world?
"Lord, the food crisis is coming. Both the Southern Wilderness and the Northern Wilderness will be in trouble. This may be our opportunity in Xiliang City!" Zhang Qingyun said excitedly.
Li Xiang said calmly: "None of this is important. No matter how much it costs you to return to the town, I need to know the information about Daqian, whether it is the north or the south, and the news about the Great Wall Army. Pay attention too!"
The opportunity is coming, and he needs to be strong enough to seize it.
Li Xiang continued to give instructions: "You give me an order to have the two cities in the south of Beixuan City train three thousand soldiers each. You will also train three thousand soldiers in Qingzhu Village!"
Zhang Qingyun was a little confused: "Lord, in this case, does the Seventh Army have too many troops? There were originally 10,000 people, but now nearly 10,000 people and 20,000 horses are trained in three places. The problem of food and grass... "
Zhang Qingyun didn't know the specific number of soldiers in Xiliang City. In his mind, the number was no less than 50,000. The 50,000 troops plus the newly trained 10,000 troops and the 60,000 troops were a huge threat to Xiliang City, which only had one county. I mean, the burden is not that big.
"You don't need anything when it comes to food and grass. If we don't use it, we will have more food and grass. All you need is to speed up your pace, take the entire Xuanshui Lake into your hands, and collect news from Daqian!"
Zhang Qingyun still had some doubts, but he was very wise and did not continue to ask further questions. He said goodbye to Li Xiang and took Charlie back to the town.
On the other side, Li Xiang led a hundred senior construction workers as quickly as possible to the dark world. In this black world, if you want to see further, you need a lot of firelight.
A tall city stood in this part of the world. Prime Minister Li chose the town center, and the construction workers went to the warehouse to get materials to start building the town. In addition to the town center, they also needed to practice various war buildings.
The guard of this fortress quickly came to Prime Minister Li: "Lord!"
"How are you doing lately?" Li Xiang walked towards the outer city.
The guard said: "The sky is getting darker and darker, and now we can only rely on firelight for illumination. In the words of people in this world, the dark night is coming, and then there will be a large number of monsters attacking the city!"
"On the other side, the people in Rogge's camp know our existence. I didn't let them in without your order. They want to meet you!"
