Chapter 716 (1/2)
”What about next year? I heard that narsiye and belus, the convalescent Chang'an, are about to flatten the threshold of your east palace. I hope you will continue to send troops next year. Why don't you agree? ” Li Zhi put down Li Ye and watched the two little guys playing with a silly smile.
”The surrounding situation has changed too much. The princess of Dashi Kingdom suddenly returns to Chang'an. There are differences within Dashi. If we press too hard now, we are afraid it will backfire.” Li Hong rubbed his aching waist, and glanced at Pei WANYING beside him.
”The opposite? Do you mean that the western part of the Dashi kingdom is really more vast than that of the Tang Dynasty? ” Li Zhi asked in disbelief.
In their inherent concept, the end of the world, or the territory of the world, should have been almost occupied by the Tang Dynasty.
But in the past two years, I came into contact with the map made by Li Hong in the imperial study. Although I understood that the Tang Dynasty existed only in a corner of the world, there were more, bigger and more vast lands in the world.
However, in terms of concept, it is still difficult to accept. After all, the concept of ”round sky” has existed for many years, and it is difficult to change it all at once.
Li Hong nodded silently, and then went on to say: ”our continuous success in the Anxi battlefield has made the troops deployed in the east by cannibals begin to be in short supply. If they no longer fight in the west, but concentrate on the eastern expedition and fight against the Tang Dynasty, then we will not be able to win as easily as this, and we will have to pour all the troops of Anxi As far as Tubo's troops are concerned, we will have to put them into it. At that time, once we enter a state of war, the impact of victory or defeat will not only be on Anxi, but even endanger the foundation of our Tang Dynasty. ”
”Not with the Navy? I think it's just a long strip on that map. ” Li Zhi still asked with some dissatisfaction.
”The long one? Ma Zai has been building roads in the Southwest (Yunnan, Guichuan) for several years. The mountains are high, the water is deep, the terrain is rugged, and even some places are foggy all the year round. If you are not careful, you will fall into the cliff and crumble. Let alone the chariot, it is very difficult for horses to pass alone. Nowadays, the army on the land is now The team can't make it, only the navy has been in the past, and it can't form a strategic repression at all, so it still needs to wait for a few years. ” Li Hong began to frown when he mentioned the form of Southwest China.
Ma Zai has been in the southwest for five or six years, but it will take at least a few years to build a road for thousands of troops to move smoothly on the muddy mountain road.
Materials needed for the war have been hoarding there for a long time. However, the amount of materials hoarded is much faster than that of coal mines. Therefore, the supply of materials in any direction in the Tang Dynasty is a problem that puzzles the world, including Li Hong.
Li Zhi has nothing to do with his own affairs. He just has nothing to do. Just ask him. As for the direction of the Tang Dynasty, whether to continue to expand the territory, or to drive foreign countries and settle down for the benefit of the common people, he just doesn't care.
Hua Ji came in respectfully and said in a low voice to several people present: ”to your majesty, the queen and the crown prince, Fang MuQing is asking to see you outside the palace.”
Wu Mei looks at Li Hong. Li Hong continues to be in the sofa. It has nothing to do with her. What's more, people ask to see her father and mother later.
”Let her in.” Wu Mei whispered, and then motioned to the maids to see where Li Guangshun and Li Guangren were. She would bring them to meet their mother and concubine.
”There's a lot of things going on in the courtiers' meeting this year.” Li Hong looked at the old man's discontented eyes sweeping around on himself and Huaji. How could he not know that he was making mistakes again.
It was just when Hua Ji presented himself in his Daming Palace that he took himself with him. As for such a disgusting look at himself!
However, it has to be admitted that no matter Hua Ji, the eunuch close to the old man, or Wang Lou, the eunuch close to Longma, they will unconsciously bring themselves when they are in the Daming Palace, whether in the back palace or in the front hall.
However, this also reflects a fact, that is, the right of the Tang Empire now is completely and thoroughly in the east palace.
Pei WANYING watched her husband stand up, so she quickly followed her and saluted Li Zhi and Wu Mei, ready to say goodbye.
Someone is good scar, forget the pain, raised his foot on Li Ye and Li Ye's small butt, one kick: ”it's time to go, salute and say goodbye to your emperor's grandfather and grandmother.”
