In fact, Changsun Wuji saw it very clearly. Although his eldest son had come back, the younger son was still in the south, so he could still place his people in many places. What's more, it was really unclear whether Changsun Yunyi had a boy or a girl. , if a daughter is born, then Changsun Chong can return to the battlefield at any time.

Originally, the eldest grandson Yunyi had been serving the eldest grandson Pinting. Who knew that he was also pregnant? Instead, the aunt and nephew were replaced. Among the women in Li Xiang's house, the two aunts and nephews were very harmonious.

Of course, in addition to the two women from Changsun's family, Li Xiang's women also quickly got the news. In the past two years, Li Xiang's children have been born one after another, but there was no movement in the other people's stomachs, so these people were also very depressed. It's obviously rain and dew, but why are people so lucky?

Of course, Li Xiang didn't have time to care about these things. The main reason was that the front line sent a report. They had already met Prince Salaman's main force.

Prince Salaman was so arrogant that his army of more than 100,000 people rushed directly towards Shiguocheng without any hiding or intelligence reconnaissance.

Of course, it is normal for people to do this. When Prince Salaman was fighting abroad, he could be regarded as the God of War killing enemies from all walks of life. There was no chance to breathe. Now in his eyes, the army of the Tang Dynasty That's all, as long as we fight without fear of death, then this victory will eventually belong to us.

So this guy directly entered General Molun's ambush circle without any intelligence, that is, because we were not prepared. Otherwise, this knife could cut off more meat. Even so, he would be killed. They killed more than 20,000 people and captured more than 10,000 people. The Arab Empire's losses were more than 40,000.

"I said back then that General Morun is not a fool. As long as we make good use of him, he will definitely be a powerful general in the Western Region of the Empire."

Li Xiang has no way of verifying whether Su Dingfang said this back then. After all, this guy did stay in the Western Regions. This victory in front of us is no joke. This is a victory against the Arab Empire, and we The losses were less than 3,000 people.

"Actually, from my point of view, it doesn't matter how many we capture and kill. One thing is the most important, and that is that their Arab Empire's fast attack will not have much effect when they encounter us. This has laid a great foundation for us. Confidence."

Niu Jinda can still see the essence through phenomena, and what he said is also true. Take the current matter as an example, what Niu Jinda said made Li Xiang nod.

"Lao Niu is right. When there was no war before, we did not know much about the Arab Empire's army. Many soldiers were still beating drums in their hearts. After these few wars, they knew how to deal with it. These people Even though he comes and goes without a trace, if he encounters the Musketeers, he will die as he should."

Our supporting troops have just left Chang'an not long ago. Under the leadership of Ou Tuxiu, they have just arrived in the Longxi area and have not really entered the Western Region. This is the news of such a victory. After our supporting troops go up, it is estimated that The city of Samarkand is now in our hands.

What Li Xiang is thinking now is not how to defeat the Arab army, but how to control the entire area. If such a loose rule continues, it will be of little benefit to the Tang Dynasty. The people of the Arab Empire can give them to After being bribed, if a powerful neighbor appears in the future, they can still do such things, so this area must be controlled.

"Your Highness wants to send officials to the Western Regions?"

Li Xiang marked them all on the map. There are many cities in the 36 countries in the Western Region. Li Xiang is preparing to set up the main cities, armies and officials to control these main places. When the time is more mature in the future, Then we need to control all places.

"I do have this idea. If it is not controlled, this will always be a loose alliance. They can negotiate with other countries and there will be no benefit to us."

Li Xiang's words also made people on both sides nod. However, this matter must be done by a careful person. If it is handed over to others, the effect may not be achieved. Li Xiang is also considering who will do it. this matter.

"I think Xiao Shougui's grandfather is pretty good."

Su Dingfang suddenly remembered that when Sichuan was in a state of emptiness, didn't this old man turn the tide in Sichuan? Now we have directly created a Kingdom of Abundance. Although the subsequent officials also contributed, but without the old man's pioneering efforts, how could they have the current rules? All the rules were left behind by Mr. Xiao.

"I'm afraid this won't work. The old man is already very old. Going to Sichuan won't be enough. If he goes to the Western Regions, his body won't be able to hold on. Xiao Shougui is still a little too green."

When Li Xiang said this, the other two people nodded. Xiao Yu is indeed not young. If something goes wrong in the Western Region, he would be sorry, let alone this incident. Things won't end in a day or two. You have to stay in the Western Region for at least a few years.

While Li Xiang was talking, Zhang Jiuli happened to walk in from the outside. This was also a ready candidate, but this person was guilty and had no way to go out to be an official, so he had to find some other cover.

Li Xiang was a practical person and could do things very quickly. He quickly decided on this matter. He wanted to set up officials and troops in 19 cities in the Western Region, and the number should not be too small.

In the past, the Protectorate of the Western Regions was just a symbol, but now it must be set up in practice. Zhang Jiuli will assist Xiao Shougui, and the two of them will jointly establish the subordinate management agencies of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and clarify the areas under each agency's jurisdiction. If something happens where you are, the court will look for you.

As for what kind of officials to choose, that's up to Zhang Jiuli and Xiao Shougui. If something happens to the person you two choose, you two will also be held accountable together.

Of course, doing so will indirectly increase the court's cost of managing the Western Regions, but it will never happen like in the past. If other countries want to bribe the countries in the Western Regions, it will not be that simple. (End of chapter)
