Captain Chi Baolin was really tired along the way, so he slept in the tent for a full day and night. When he got up the next day, many soldiers had not yet woken up. Li Xiang did not let the people below disturb them. Who could sleep? Anyone who wakes up goes to eat, and those who don't wake up continue to sleep. After all, they have created a miracle in this era, can they still prevent people from sleeping?

"hey-hey……"

When they were in Chang'an City, Yuchi Baolin kept saying that Li Xiang's physical condition was not good. This time, Li Xiang finally got the joke. When Li Xiang walked in from outside, Yuchi Baolin was still feasting on roast mutton. .

"Pour me a bowl, and I'll have two drinks with you. It's been a long time since we've had a drink."

According to the rules in the military camp, drinking is not allowed, but people like Yuchi Baolin have traveled a long distance. If they don't drink some liquor, they may not be able to rest, so a special batch was given to them.

The two clinked their glasses, then drank it down in one gulp. This is how men should drink. Li Xiang also pulled over a piece of roast lamb.

For people like Li Xiang who live in the grasslands and the Western Regions, roast mutton is not a new thing. With the condiments sent by Li Xiang, this can make the locals eat more. If it is normal times, it is estimated that Not many people are willing to eat this stuff. It's like the big pancakes from the mainland. You start eating them from the time you are born. Who wants to eat more?

Of course, this is limited to some wealthy families. If they are poor families, they have never eaten any good mutton. These things are all for the rich. They can only eat scraps or something, and even old sheepskins can be eaten during famine years. eat.

"Is everything okay over there in Goguryeo? Tell me what you saw along the way. I have also stayed in the Western Regions for a long time. Sometimes I really should go around for a walk to see the actual situation everywhere. Every day There are still discrepancies between the memorial and the actual situation.”

Li Xiang came here to see the body of Yuchi Baolin, and also wanted to know about the situation in Goguryeo. Counting the days, it had been more than a year since he left Goguryeo.

"Now the whole Goguryeo is peaceful. If you had asked me a year ago, I would have said that there was blood everywhere. At that time, many people were unconvinced, whether they were ordinary people or people in the government, they would They were about to start an uprising, and now we have defeated them all."

Yuchi Baolin is telling the truth. No nation wants to be a slave to subjugation for the rest of its life, so Goguryeo is always making trouble. Many people have already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but after being instigated by some conspirators, they will immediately Begin to rebel.

"It didn't cause us much damage. I just saw them making trouble in the memorial. I don't know the specific situation. I didn't ask for help from Chang'an City. I guess the local area should be able to handle it."

Li Xiang told his people that if there is something you can solve, try not to ask for assistance from other places, because when others give you assistance, normal things in other places will also be put aside, and then the losses will be a chain. reaction, so some things are best digested by yourself.

"Of course there are losses. In more than a year, we have lost a total of more than 2,000 soldiers and more than 3,000 local soldiers. These people were all converted by us, or only half of the general population. The Tang bloodline formed a local army, and they also suffered the greatest losses, but the frequency of troubles has dropped significantly from the past few months, and when I came there was not even once a month."

Yuchi Baolin wiped his mouth and made a simple report. In addition to our Tang army, more than 40,000 Goguryeo troops were recruited locally. Some of these people are half of the Tang Dynasty, and some are local good friends. People, so in order to reduce our own losses, we armed these people. Of course, our weapons and equipment will not be given to them. They still use swords, guns and clubs.

"You guys are still very smart, but there is one thing you need to remind your subordinates. Those who are not from my race will have different minds. It is okay to use these people, but they must be vigilant enough. Okay, if they are also infiltrated by those who resist, this will bring us great danger."

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty reused a large number of Hu generals. By the time of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, these Hu generals had already controlled a large number of armies, posing a great threat to the safety of the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, the imperial court Everyone at the top and bottom felt that these people were good at fighting and could be used by me, so they didn't pay attention to this.

As long as you are a little bit slack, it will definitely bring you serious consequences. The Anshi Rebellion during the Tianbao period was the result of the reuse of foreign generals.

Zhao Xin, the little king of the Huns during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, eventually rebelled against the Han Dynasty and brought us a lot of losses.

Li Xiang raised this now, especially when a major leader raised this, which had a significant impact on the entire military generals of the Tang Dynasty. Although many people felt that Li Xiang was a little overly concerned, Li Xiang raised this issue one after another. They will also keep this matter in mind.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. These people don't have great ambitions. They are submissive in front of us. If you say one thing, they will never dare to say another thing. These people are also the first batch to surrender. If they dare to resist, I will Twist their necks off."

If he didn't listen to Yuchi Baolin's words, Li Xiang wouldn't be anxious, but after hearing this, Li Xiang knew what the frontline generals were thinking. Li Xiang would never allow this if he had a place for himself. The seeds are growing, but if you don’t have a place to stay, it’s really beyond your reach.

"Someone is coming..."

Li Xiang knew that this matter could not be delayed, and he had to remind his subordinates in the most stern tone. If he were a little less strict, the people below might make this move faster, and wait until one day it would lead to a big mistake. We need to send troops to conquer again, and the losses at that time will not be even a little bit.

Yuchi Baolin put down the mutton in his hand and looked at Li Xiang in surprise. When did His Highness Taisun become so timid? Aren't he just a group of Goguryeo people? Can they still go to heaven? We have beaten them into submission a long time ago. These guys will not have other ideas. His Highness Taisun is too nervous.
