As Li Jing returned to Youzhou from the desert, it meant that the Eastern Turks, a northern nomadic people, had been crushed by the Sui Dynasty, and Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty married two princesses in succession. The powerful country in the northwest has completely declared its country subjugated and extinct!

Du Ruhui asked:"King Wu, the Turks have lost their country and their species. What should be done with the 3,600 Turkic women who are below the knee?"

Li Changqing already had a plan in his mind and said:"Let them grow up in the desert. Then he taught the thoughts of the Tang Dynasty and the few people. From the age of seven, he learned the art of killing on the battlefield, the art of concealment and assassination, and the languages ​​of various countries!" When the ministers heard this, their eyes narrowed, and they immediately understood Li Changqing's purpose.

He wants to train a group of spies who are loyal, proficient in hidden assassinations, and can form a military formation to charge!

Since the age of seven, he has been learning battlefield killing techniques, hidden assassination techniques, and languages ​​of various countries at the same time. This is completely like training as a robot!

If they were women from the Tang Dynasty, Li Changqing would not be so ruthless as to train them to death.

After coming up with a solution for the 3,600 Turkic women who were under their knees, Li Jing took out a letter, handed it to Li Changqing, and said:

"King Wu, this is a letter written to you by Yehu Khan, the leader of the Western Turks."

"Western Turkic Khan?"Li Changqing frowned, took the letter, and opened it to read it quickly.

In the letter, Tong Yehu Khan mentioned two points.

First, he is willing to make peace with the Tang Dynasty forever. Even if the Eastern Turks are destroyed, they will never step into the desert. One step south.

Second, the Western Turks are attacking the countries in the Western Regions. If the Tang Dynasty is willing to send troops to help, the Western Turks are willing to open the Silk Road to the Tang Dynasty. The

Silk Road was Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions in the Western Han Dynasty, reaching Loulan, Qiuci, Khotan opened a land passage starting from Chang'an, passing through Gansu and Xinjiang, to Central Asia and West Asia, and connecting the countries in the Mediterranean.

This road was not only a national highway for the Central Plains dynasty to connect the East and the West, but also a national highway for the Central Plains of this era. An important international channel for economic and cultural exchanges between the dynasty and other countries.

If the Western Turks are willing to open up the section of the Silk Road they control, Li Changqing can send merchants through the Silk Road to communicate with the countries in the Western Regions, Central Asia, and West Asia. Trade will greatly promote the economic development of the Tang Dynasty.

I read the letter of the Western Turkic Khan to the counselors and generals present.

After reading it, everyone looked happy.

"King Wu destroyed the Turks and displayed the power of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The Western Turks, who were photographed by us in the Han and Tang dynasties, are actually willing to take the initiative to make peace with us and promise not to step into Monan."

"All the countries in the Western Region are weak and weak. If the white-robed army goes out to attack, coupled with the Western Turkic army, they will surely sweep across the Western Region within three months."

"King Wu, Yehu Khan, the leader of the Western Turks, is very sincere and can be friends with him."

Li Changqing stood up and looked to the northwest, as if he wanted to see the countries in the Western Regions through the entire desert.

He slowly shook his head and said:"The Eastern Turks perished under the iron hoof of the White Robe Army. The land of Monan naturally belongs to I, the Tang Dynasty, and the Western Turks dare to cross the border, they will definitely go on an expedition!

As for sending troops to help the Western Turks attack the countries in the Western Regions, they share the Silk Road. In my opinion, this is really unnecessary."

Amidst everyone's puzzled expressions, Li said:

"After I have reorganized the army, recuperated and strengthened my troops, I will go on an expedition to the Western Turks and other countries in the Western Regions to open up territory for the Tang Dynasty! The Silk Road is firmly under our control, why should the Western Turks open it to us and be constrained by it?"

When all the advisers and generals heard this, they all looked shocked.

Compared with Li Changqing, their thoughts were too conservative.

While they were still happy that the Western Turks took the initiative to repair the problem, Li Changqing thought of conquering the Western Turks directly. , to conquer the countries in the Western Regions!

The visions of the two sides are very different.

The structures of the two sides are not on the same level.

After the initial shock, everyone's faces immediately showed eagerness to try.

Yu Chigong's eyes flashed and he said:"Opening up new territory is what someone wishes! In the future, if we go out to conquer the Western Turks and conquer the countries in the Western Regions, I would like to be the vanguard!"

Cheng Yaojin also quickly stepped out and said:"The same goes for so-and-so! Li

Changqing pressed his hands and said:"There is no need to be impatient in respecting morality and moral integrity. Even if you go on an expedition, you have to wait until spring to make complete preparations."

After a while, Fang Xuanling said:"King Wu, now you have a noble status, comparable to the emperor." Since ancient times, emperors have always had imperial guards.

Wei Chen proposed that the Dragon Cavalry Guards break away from the White Robe Army and form their own army, the Imperial Guards of King Wu."

Just now, Li Changqing ordered Qin Qiong to recruit strong soldiers from Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Jizhou, and increase the number of dragon cavalry guards to 200,000.

As a result, the number of dragon cavalry guards far exceeds that of the other five guards. Add.

Forming an army of its own, as the Imperial Guards of King Wu, is a very good suggestion.

After Li Changqing thought about it carefully, he nodded and said:"From today on, the Dragon Cavalry Guards will form an army of their own and be renamed the Dragon Cavalry Army. There are 100,000 dragoon guards in total. They are light cavalry wearing light armor, and they are personally commanded by me.

Another 100,000 additional cavalrymen, both men and horses, are heavily armored and are called heavy cavalry. There are also 100,000 heavy cavalry, named Tiance Army, commanded by Xiuning.

These two armies are the Imperial Guards!"

Li Changqing divided the cavalry under his command into two types. One is the light cavalry, which is today's dragoon guard, responsible for annihilating the main enemy army. The second is the heavy cavalry. Li Changqing did not have heavy cavalry under his command before. Every time he charged, the dragoon guard They will all be covered by the enemy's arrows and suffer damage.

If the heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor charges in front, they can create a suppressive breakthrough on the enemy's position and easily destroy the enemy's formation without exposing themselves to damage. Arrow damage.

Before there were no heavy cavalry, the main reason was because of the scarcity of war horses.

Now there are more than 300,000 war horses, and all problems have been solved

"In addition, the White Robes were disbanded. The Modao Guards were renamed the Modao Army, and their strength increased to 150,000. Commander-in-chief Li Jing, deputy commander Qin Qiong"

"The Heavy Armor Guard was renamed the Heavy Armor Army, and its strength increased to 50,000. He was commanded by Yuchi Gong and assisted by Cheng Yaojin."

"The Shenjian Guard was renamed the Shenjian Camp, and its strength was increased to 10,000. Under the overall command of Su Dingfang"

"Shadow Guards and Logistics Guards will maintain their original size without any changes."

All the generals listened to the order, stood up from their seats, and bowed their hands to Li Changqing to accept the promise.

Li Changqing sat back on the throne again and said to Li Jing:"Pharmacist, general Yicheng Princess, Jie Li's daughter, Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty, and Princess of the Sui Dynasty. , bring them all"
