"Hahahahaha" Li Er smiled like a vulture with carrion in its mouth.
He had stopped laughing, but started laughing again after seeing Yunhao.
After so many years, there were not many times when Yunhao could feel frustrated.
Take this opportunity to laugh at this victorious general.
"Haotian still favors my Li family even if I have a wise son, haha."
Li Er smiled, and then put on a disgusting look as if he had a son and everything would be fine.
"Tell me how you were so crowded by a group of little guys that you had to come to ask for a fight.
Last time I went to your house to invite you in person.
You didn't even agree.
If I had known that this would work, I would have called a bunch of bastards."
Li Er rested his arms on the imperial desk and looked at Yun Hao standing under the red osmanthus with interest.
Yunhao pouted, your son is a little brat.
This seems to be genetically disadvantageous for him, but I can't say that clearly.
Those who dare to speak harsh words usually die miserably.
Especially those who question the royal lineage with such cheerful words will die even more miserably.
"Zhang Liang is dead.
As a general, he still has the glory of death.
He has a great wealth and does not have to worry about his wife and children having no food to eat at home.
But those 20,000 soldiers died unjustly and were crucified alive in the Gobi desert.
This is a fight.
The face of the Tang Dynasty cannot be saved this time.
I must hurt the Persians until they dare not mess with the Tang Dynasty."
Yunhao nodded helplessly, pinching his nose in recognition of Li Er's gloating.
"Yes, the soldiers died heroically, but it is a pity that the battlefield is a battlefield.
The defeated generals do not receive much compensation, and this is an eternal rule that I cannot change.
After a few years, the country will have great news.
I will take advantage of the universal celebration.
If you have the opportunity, I will try to care for the orphans of these soldiers.
But this time, the expedition to the Western Region will be extremely dangerous."
Li Er is Li Er, he can quickly move from the status of a teaser.
Quickly transforming into an imperial Persian, the Persian slapped Li Eryi hard, and now it was time to slap him back.
Retribution is the basic characteristic of Li Er's life and work.
"It is impossible for Your Majesty to win quickly.
The Western Region must first be appeased.
Then we can effectively occupy it.
If we want to cause trouble with the Persians, we also need to establish several support points in the Western Region and rely on these support points.
Only then can we be able to March into Persia There is nothing we can do about it, the Western Region is too big.
Our army in the Tang Dynasty is not afraid of fighting, but is afraid of the lack of food and logistical supplies.
To do this, we need to build more railways wherever they can be built.
I also need a larger airship to join the ranks of transportation.
For this purpose, I will need at least 50,000 Tang troops under my command.
And we need the full cooperation of the railway department.”
"Accurate, accurate, I am accurate.
As long as you fight this battle well.
So many soldiers died tragically.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
This is a humiliation I have never experienced since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
As long as you can win back this face for me, I will give you whatever you want."
"I'm sure."
Li Er said three words in a row.
Li Er was like a tiger patrolling its territory, and suddenly smelled the scent of another lion.
The lion was obviously unfriendly and bit his own jackal to death.
Although the lion also lost some, the tiger believes that he is the master of this planet.
Two masters will never be allowed to exist on the same planet.
Li Er and the Caliph identified each other as intruders at the same time.
Now, they are going to have a fierce fight.
After getting Li Er's promise, Yunhao turned around and left without saying a word.
It is very rare for an emperor to say such words.
Only the person who trusts him the most would Li Er say such a thing.
It's rare for an emperor to trust someone, especially someone like Li Er.
After leaving Li Er's palace, Yunhao came to Jiaodong Palace.
What he needed most this time was not soldiers, but Li Daoyan.
The railway tracks have been laid to a place three hundred miles away from Yumen Pass, and the trains can effectively supply supplies to the garrison there.
Yunhao felt that he should be allowed to extend further, as crossing the desert was unrealistic.
However, it is still necessary to extend as much as possible, and the train extends every mile.
Yunhao's logistics supply line is one mile short.
"Brother Hao, there's nothing we can do about it.
It's impossible for the railway to cross Lop Nur.
You should know this."
After hearing Yun Hao's words, Li Daoyan screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"What about after passing Lop Nur?"
Yunhao still refused to give up and wanted to continue to fool this old friend.
"No matter what you say, it's useless.
My people can only build the railway as far as Lop Nur.
I won't accompany you any further, I say Brother Hao.
Take a good look at the map.
After Lop Nur, it's all bearded territory."
Even if it is repaired, I have no idea how many people you have to protect the railway along the way if they want to demolish it in the middle of the night.
If you really use all your troops along the railway, you can't even think about it if you don't have an army of 100,000.
An army of 100,000.
Your Majesty will give you so many soldiers.
Look at the Tang Dynasty.
Only the generals that Your Majesty trusts most can command an army of 50,000.
I estimate that this is the number of troops your Majesty will give you.
"I have to say that Li Daoyan is very knowledgeable.
Speaking of understanding Li Er, apart from the roundworm in Li Er's belly, I'm afraid he is the only one who knows him well.
"Brother Hao, you know.
There is no way to lay a railway in the desert.
Today you laid it.
Tomorrow there might be a sandstorm and they will be buried.
Do you think you can live in the entire desert and specifically build it?"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
This cannot be done by digging sand for railways If you want to do it, I suggest you build a city in Lop Nur.
As long as the train is connected, I will find a way to get you whatever supplies you need.
As for how you get to the Western Region, I suggest you use an airship.
With your ability, you can't even get an airship. " "I also know that it is too difficult to lay a railway in the Western Region, but I am worried about relying entirely on airships.
A clear day is pretty good, but if there is a sandstorm, it will be difficult for the airship to escape.
The god knows when it will happen with that damn weather in the Western Regions.
Let’s have a sandstorm.”
"If you can't use camels in a sandstorm, you can't use railways anyway.
Even trains can't resist the power of sandstorms."
What Li Daoyan said is true, a large sandstorm can even overturn a train.
Yunhao had heard of it, but there was nothing he could do about it now.
The place in the Western Region is so poor that it is very difficult to survive the enemy with enough food.
If supplies cannot keep up, it will be difficult to survive, let alone fight.
In fact, this is the way Yunhao wants to fight the most.
That is to let the Datang carry countless marines.
Constantly harassing the Persian coast will not only make the Persians' wounds continue to bleed.
Moreover, the logistics supply is very convenient, and you only have to fight against others, and there is no need for others to fight against you.
Unless the caliphate gave up maritime trade completely, he would be beaten.
But there was no way, Zhang Liang was killed in the Western Regions.
If Datang wanted to take revenge, it could only take revenge in the Western Regions.
Since you have failed in front of the barbarians, you must win with real swords and guns in front of the barbarians.
Otherwise, those barbarians would think that the Tang Dynasty was in decline.
Extend your claws into the territory of Datang.
There are only more than 30,000 soldiers left in the military states of Anxi and Beiting.
Once the more than five million bearded men are no longer afraid of the Tang Dynasty, the more than 30,000 people will be in great danger.
It is very likely that Datang will lose the Western Region forever just like in history.
"No need to build a city, Loulan is fine.
Move their people out and find a place to settle.
The entire Loulan City will become a military city.
In the Western Region where crises are everywhere, only in this way can we ensure the safety of Lop Nur. " Li Daoyan has a very detailed map of the Western Regions at home.
How can the railway builders do it without a map?
In fact, Li Daoyan's men had already surveyed almost all the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
The purpose of Yunhao's visit this time was actually to make a copy of these maps.
"Loulan, well, it's by the Kongque River.
It's a good place.
That's your future.
It has nothing to do with me.
Even if you kill them all, it has nothing to do with me.
If you ask me to build the railway to Loulan, then build it I can still do this to Loulan.”
"Okay, we'll use Loulan as our base.
I'm going to use an airship to transport the rest of the way.
I can only risk losing the airship and supplies, so I have to go to the academy and see if I can tinker with an airship with a greater capacity."
"Brother Hao, you're talking about the oil spring business in the Western Regions, hehe."
Li Daoyan rubbed his hands.
This guy is so virtuous when he wants to take advantage.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The Western Region is a place where nothing matters, everything is lacking.
However, there are many oil springs, many of which are close to the surface.
Just dig a little bit and put it in a jar, and there's money.
Absolutely a profitable deal "You have 20% of the refinery.
Don't look at me.
I only have 30%.
The remaining 40% belongs to His Majesty, and the last 10% is the cost.
My subordinates also have to spend some money, right?"
Yunhao did not hesitate.
He gave Li Daoyan a 20% share.
How can we not take care of our brothers?
"Let's just say that you, Brother Hao, are an interesting person.
Don't worry, the railway will be laid to Loulan within a month.
As for the relocation of Loulan City" "I'll do it."
As soon as Yunhao said these words, Li Daoyan knew that the Loulan people were doomed.
What good things can the soldiers do?
They are good at killing people.
If we expect them to demolish in a civilized manner, we should wait until the next life.
No one cares about the life or death of Loulan people.
There will be a huge oil refinery in Loulan city.
There will also be a large airship landing site.
The more the airship uses, the more fuel it will use.
Yunhao will go crazy when transporting oil from Chang'an Refinery to the Western Regions.
If the scale of the oil refinery is large enough, in addition to supporting the military supplies of the army.
The train will transport carloads of kerosene, which is not much used by the army, to Chang'an.
Anyway, there is nothing to pack in the Western Region except sand, so I will transport this on the return trip.
To this end, Li Daoyan plans to make many iron buckets.
Even the dregs after refining oil are planned to be recovered.
Now Datang's road construction is following Lintong's example.
The stone road must be paved with asphalt and pebbles, so that the wheels will be soft and hard when driving on it.
Unlike the bare stone pavement, there is not much difference between sitting inside and shaking the Lantern Festival.
After discussing with Li Daoyan for a long time, Yun Haoyou went to the academy.
After repeatedly begging Mr.
Yu to tinker with a bigger airship.
Yunhao drove home.
It was already afternoon since he left for the morning show, and he didn't even have time to eat.
If this continues, Yunhao feels that he will die before leaving the battlefield.
There was no rest at home either, with many former subordinates coming.
Without saying anything, he pushed his boy in front of Yunhao, bowed his head, and the ceremony was a bit like joining a gangster.
They are all former subordinates, and many of them are still disabled.
Yunhao knew that they were not living well, so the Yun family would pack something for them during the New Year and holidays.
Sometimes it's a few bags of flour, sometimes it's a big jar of oil.
Sometimes, it's half a fan of pork fat and two inches thick.
Although it is not expensive, it can make everyone have a good New Year and make at least one dumpling.
He looked at the poor old guy in tears, and then looked at the gifts he brought in.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Home-grown chicken, and some wrapped in pork head meat.
Lao Cao from Zuo Wuwei was carrying two rabbits.
Old Huang from the Navy was dragging two big geese.
They are all old subordinates and know their own tempers.
There's nothing to say, gift man, but money matters.
From the looks of it, Yunhao was given all the chickens that lay eggs at home.
Nothing is as important as my son having a good future.
Military merit, which nobles do not value, is a good thing in their eyes.
As long as you perform meritorious service for the country, you can work as a servant in the Yamen or as a police officer after you come back.
Those are all the achievements of people who eat the royal food and fight with swords and guns.
Even the great master has to take a high look at them.
Who makes people risk their lives?
Once the door crack is open, any attempt to close it becomes a luxury.
The meal was not finished, but there were hundreds and a half-year-old children in the corridor.
There were people from twenty to fifteen or sixteen years old, and there were also younger ones, but Yunhao didn't want them.
He was leading troops to fight, not going to the Western Regions to hold an armed parade.
Let people go to Master Sheng Yan to take these children away and register them.
These little guys have to train in Zuowuwei for at least three months before they can go out on the battlefield.
Yunhao did not intend to lead a group of child soldiers to the Western Regions to seek death.
Zuo Wuwei, his direct descendant, was a necessity.
Although they are not very suitable for desert combat After arranging meals for his old subordinates, Yunhao was already so hungry that his legs were trembling.
He quickly returned to the back house and shouted loudly to eat noodles.
An old bowl as big as a head, with a thick layer of sesame poured on it.
It tastes unparalleledly delicious at this time "I promised your majesty to go to the Western Regions."
Zhang Miaoke was a little unhappy.
It's better that the Yun family doesn't want to make progress now.
The current family business will have no problem at all as long as it is passed down to the previous three, five or seven generations without rebellion.
There is no need to go to the desert to get meritorious service.
Zhang Liang was so powerful, why didn't he die in the Western Regions?
I heard that even his head was cut off to become the head of the Yun family, and he could just wait for death while guarding the family business.
"It's true that the Persians went too far this time, and I also want to teach them a lesson.
Let them know how the Tang Dynasty taught others to be awe-inspiring."
The words were so powerful that Zhang Miaoke had no choice but to leave.
It seems that this time it is not forced by everyone, but the husband wants to go.
After finishing a large bowl of steamed noodles, the bowl was just placed on the ground.
Then I saw Yun Dabao’s eyes full of hope:
