"It's really interesting!" Li Xiang gave Zhang Qingyun the letter sent from the Qingxi grassland, "The Zhunter tribe was besieged by the two major forces on the grassland, the Golden Family and the Red Wolf Tribe, and now they are asking us, Xiliang, to protect them.
, in order to survive and take revenge, they can give up everything..."
Zhang Qingyun picked up the letter and took a look at it: "Lord, I feel that we can accept them. These soldiers of the Junggar tribe are all people who fought in the war. They have a very deep hatred for the Golden Family and the Red Wolf Tribe.
According to our policies in Xiliang and the current increase in the number of pastures and cattle and sheep, we will definitely enter the prairie, and then we will definitely have a war with the major tribes on the prairie.
These soldiers of the Zhunter tribe are the best guides and the best soldiers, but we'd better be on guard against them, because these prairie people are just like wolves."
"They are wolves, but we are the wolf kings!" Li Xiang said confidently: "I will accept them as you said. I never thought that in the cold winter, the prairie would give us such a good gift!"
"Perhaps the Golden Family and the Red Wolf Tribe did not expect that they would come to Xiliang to seek refuge with us!" Zhang Qingyun also laughed: "Zhunter represents not only their tribe, but also the people on the prairie.
Get close to the major tribes of the Daqian Dynasty.
Now that this representative has come under our protection in Xiliang, the factions on Zhunter and their intelligence system may be able to be used by us. Even if they cannot detect the secrets on the prairie for us, some ordinary information can
It gets to us quickly through them.”
"And if there are tribes close to the Daqian Dynasty in the future that are persecuted by the Golden Family or other tribes, the first thing those people will think of is to join us in Xiliang. We have land but lack population.
Each of these people from the grassland tribes are good herders, and they only need to be trained to become good herders, so that we will not be short of herders in the future!"
"But the sudden arrival of hundreds of thousands of people will put a lot of pressure on Qingxi City. Do we have to send some more supplies to Qingxi City?"
Zhang Qingyun looked inside and asked.
"It's snowing heavily now, and it used to be difficult to transport grain and grass supplies on a large scale!" If Qingxicheng was located in Jiuyuan County, no matter how heavy the snow was, it would not be able to stop the progress of Xiliang's transportation team.
It's a pity that the city of Qingxi is located on the Qingxi grassland. Now it is covered with snow, and the heavy snow covers everything. Because the Qingxi grassland is an important pasture land in Xiliang, there are only dirt roads on this prairie, and there are no such things.
Plant a stone path.
Therefore, every time in the twelfth lunar month of winter, it is difficult to transport supplies from Jiuyuan County to Qingxi City. Before the snowfall every year, Xiliang City will be equipped with a large amount of supplies to be sent to Qingxi City.
Although a lot of supplies were sent there, there are now hundreds of thousands more people in the city, which puts a huge pressure on Qingxi City's supplies.
Summer is okay, but now it is winter. You must eat enough food every day to be able to withstand the cold winter wind, and you also need to provide cold-proof supplies in time.
You, Mr. Li, frowned and after a while said to Zhang Qingyun: "Let the Northern Army send the things over!"
The Northern Legion is the headquarters army that is currently resisting the beast army in the north. They have a tame beast cavalry in their hands, although the number is less than 500.
However, the strength displayed by these five hundred ferocious beast cavalry is comparable to that of the flying bear army.
In addition to this ferocious cavalry, they also have a large number of tamed ferocious beasts in their hands. They rely on these ferocious beasts to transport supplies in winter.
Can the snow cover no matter how heavy it is, be as high as the snow cover in the area where the ferocious beast lives?
Those ferocious beasts walked on the snow as if they were on the ground. In fact, it was more because the ferocious beasts were so huge that the amount of snow could only cover the soles of their feet.
With their huge bodies, they can carry a large amount of supplies at one time. They only need to transport the supplies four or five times back and forth, which is enough for the hundreds of thousands of people coming over.
"yes!"
Zhang Qingyun laughed when he heard this. He had no right to mobilize the troops in Xiliang headquarters. He had wanted to use this beast army to transport supplies, but she did not have such qualifications to mobilize this army.
Even Li Yi was not qualified to mobilize this army. The only one who could mobilize them was the King of Xiliang.
Seeing that the matter in Qingxi Grassland had been resolved, Zhang Qingyun continued the previous topic: "My lord, everyone has called you the King of Xiliang now, and our relationship with the imperial court has been broken. Isn't it time for you to become the king?"
"
All the northwest officials are actively promoting Prime Minister Li to the throne. After Prime Minister Li becomes a king, their status will naturally rise.
When they first came to Xiliang, if someone wanted to make Li Xiang the king, they would spray that person with blood. But after seeing the territory of Xiliang and the powerful army of Xiliang.
They felt that the imperial court had nothing to do with Xiliang. Li Xiang, the king of Xiliang, had now grown into a towering tree and had deep roots.
Currently, in the northwest area, no one can threaten Xiliang King Li Xiang, and judging from the news some time ago, Xuantian Sect has formed an alliance with Xiliang.
Now, the two most powerful forces in the cross-region of Northwest China have become allies, so who else can stop Xiliang's rule on this land?
This year Xiliang has taken over half of the small grassland, and maybe next year it will take over the entire small grassland. By then Xiliang will be able to connect all its territories into one.
The large-scale development on the barren mountain side has been going on for two years. Judging from the stone mining situation in the past few years, Xiliang will be able to open a road to the south in the barren mountain in about ten years.
Passage of the small prairie.
At that time, they will not need to go down the Tongtian River, but can directly cross from the barren mountain area to the back of the small grassland.
More than ten years seems to be a long time, but for officials and practitioners like them, this time is very short, especially for Li Xiang, the king of Xiliang, more than ten years is very short.
This is a world-famous grand master, and his lifespan is extremely long.
The long lifespan also means that their Xiliang regime can last for a long, long time. Perhaps when all these officials die, Xiliang King Li Xiang will still be in that position.
So they don't have to worry about what will happen after Li Xiang's death. Anyway, within the next few hundred years, as long as Li Xiang does not die, Xiliang can continue to develop according to the current development speed.
In the end, if Prime Minister Li is still there, he can command the Xiliang army. Then the seventh, eighth, and ninth legions will not dare to make mistakes. According to the current development model of Xiliang, even if they are blocked by the imperial court, they cannot advance eastward.
, they can also continue to advance towards the west.
It's not that they look down on the ghosts and monsters in the west, but the strength of those ghosts and ghosts is at best that much, while the strength of Xiliang is constantly growing.
Everyone can see the recruitment advertisements of the Xiliang Army in the streets and alleys. If the conditions for recruiting soldiers in Xiliang were not too harsh, they could easily form an army of one million people.
The number of ghosts and ghosts in the ghost world to the west will not change, there are only that many.
When the strength of Xiliang increases to a certain level, Li Xiang will never allow those ghosts to continue to stay in the west and become a future trouble for Xiliang.
Because of their existence, Xiliang needs to send a large number of troops to defend the west, otherwise Xiliang would not lose so many soldiers in the small grassland and the chaotic world.
It's because those ghosts and monsters in the west contain a large number of Xiliang's troops.
They are already in an invincible position, so why should they stop Li Xiang from becoming king?
So these people began to unite in private and submit a letter together, asking Zhang Qingyun to push Prime Minister Li to the throne.
After Zhang Qingyun received the letters from these people, he did not take action immediately. Instead, he ran over to discuss with Li Xiang, and everything depended on Li Xiang.
If Li Xiang is not willing, even if they talk to each other, this matter will not succeed.
"Let's put this matter off for a little longer!" Li Xiang looked at Zhang Qingyun and sighed: "It's not the time to claim the throne yet. There is no real chaos in the world. Although the vassal kings in various places have long been rebellious,
, but they are all waiting for an opportunity.
If we suddenly become king at this time, we will become the target of public criticism, and we will probably be besieged by everyone."
As Li Xiang spoke, he looked at the map behind him and stared at the vast grassland: "We haven't got the grassland yet. Now is not the time to completely fall out with the court. I will take over this place next year."
After we come down, we will be truly invincible."
"Okay!" Zhang Qingyun did not refute, because in his heart he also believed that now is not the time to become king. Li Xiang is not of the Zhao family's blood. If the other kings betrayed, the princes from all over the country would only watch the court and the
The feudal king's battle.
Even when necessary, they would help the king from behind, or they might all rebel against the court and cause chaos in the world.
But if Li Xiang stands up to claim the title of king, the kings of the Zhao family will definitely unite and kill the person with a foreign surname, Li Xiang. Anyway, the fight between the Zhao family is just a fight within the Zhao family, and the world does not matter.
No matter which prince it falls into, it will still belong to the Zhao family.
If it falls into the hands of a foreigner like Prime Minister Li, they will be the sinners of the entire Zhao family.
"By the way, I asked you to pay attention to Youzhou and Bingzhou. Is there any news recently?"
Zhang Qingyun said: "There are a large number of preaching monks in Youzhou and Bingzhou. From the intelligence point of view, they are all monks with little cultivation. They will not fight back if they are beaten and scolded by local ruffians. However, these two places have also begun to
There are some people who believe in Buddhism.
The largest number of them are the landowners in those places, and they even started to build Buddhist temples for these monks to worship the Buddha!"
Li Xiang suddenly became interested: "Does the local government not care?"
Zhang Qingyun shook his head: "The local government didn't care at all, and even made some conveniences for these people. Even after some Buddhist temples were built, people from the government would come forward to maintain order.
Maybe it won’t be long before these two areas will regain their former glory!”
Although Zhang Qingyun is not an orthodox scholar, he doesn't have much favorable impressions of Buddhism. To be precise, he doesn't have much favorable impressions of sects and those religions. The practitioners of sects and religions use force to suppress the ban, while those of those religions confuse people.
Common people.
Among them, Buddhism was the most rampant. At that time, Buddhism even occupied nearly 1/3 of the world's land. What a terrifying figure. The emperor did not even receive any money, but these monks received more money.
I don’t know how many people have become vassals of Buddhism and have stopped paying various taxes.
The more he learned about Buddhism, the more determined he was towards Prime Minister Li's policy of prohibiting Buddhism from being introduced into Jiuyuan County.
If Buddhism is not prohibited from being introduced into the Jiuyuan County area, it may not take long for the taxes exempted by Prime Minister Li from the common people to fall into the hands of Buddhism.
He has never doubted the methods of these monks to confuse people, even if they talk about nonsense, but in his eyes, these people are getting something for nothing. They will indeed bring spiritual comfort to the common people, and can even guide some people to the right path.
But now in his eyes, Buddhism does more harm than good, so Buddhism should go to other places and not enter their Xiliang.
It is enough for them in Xiliang to have Taoism and their lord.
"This is a good thing!" Li Xiang laughed: "The emperor's move was indeed a good move, using Buddhism to block our Xiliang, but he may not have thought that this move would become a stumbling block to restrict him in the future.
, it is easy to ask the Buddha, but difficult to send the Buddha.
You continue to ask your people to collect intelligence. I also know the development of Buddhism in these two areas and where they have established Buddhist temples. When we conquer these two areas in the future, these places will become our food.
point!"
In Li Xiang's eyes, Buddhist temples are food supply stations. The army is on the front line. If there is no food, they can go to these Buddhist temples in Buddhism to get it.
After obtaining the Imperial Age System, Li Xiang no longer believed in immortal Buddhas. In the eyes of practitioners, immortal Buddhas were just powerful practitioners. As long as he continued to practice, he could become an immortal and become an ancestor in the future.
Therefore, it is impossible for those immortals and Buddhas to make him lower his head!
The two people continued to talk in the study room, and hearty laughter came from time to time. They had not chatted together for a long time, and they finally had some time to spare. How could they not chat for a while.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the New Year atmosphere in the northwest region is getting more and more full. All the cities in Jiuyuan County are decorated with lights and colorful, and they are all shrouded in the atmosphere of the New Year.
Qingxi grassland
As time goes by, a large amount of materials are transported to Qingxi City. The city no longer has to worry about materials. The Zhunter army in the distance has also arrived.
