Crown Tang emperor

"The minister respectfully obeys orders!"

Li Tong shouted, and took the axe with both hands, and then the guards came in and took the axe.

Then, the emperor's heir picked up the handle of the ax and passed it forward, and continued: "From now on, go down to the spring, and the general will control it!"

"The minister respectfully obeys orders!"

After accepting the axe, Li Tong bowed his head again, and then said loudly: "I heard that the country cannot be ruled from the outside, the army cannot be defended from the inside, the single-mindedness cannot serve the king, and the doubts cannot respond to the enemy! Since the minister has been ordered, he only uses the power of the axe." , Life and death are beyond the reach of the minister, but I will do it!"

After awarding the axe, Li Dan, the heir of the emperor, stepped down from the high platform with all the ministers.In the affairs of the three armies, the orders of the emperor are not heard, and the orders are all left to the generals.From this moment on, Li Tong fully grasped the command of the army to conquer.

The sound of drums and music was once again majestic, and the horns of the camp responded, and the people and horses of all walks of life marched out of the camp.

At this time, on the high platform, a sergeant had already put on a set of bright light armor, and put them on neatly for His Royal Highness King Yong.

Li Tong's armor is different from the military standard. The line style is more exaggerated, and the armor is covered with gold, which makes the wearer more heroic, especially under the sunshine, making the whole person bathed in a ball of golden light. In the middle, people can't open their eyes and stare.

But also because of this, although the entire area of ​​martial arts oath master is vast, no matter from which direction, you can clearly see King Yong standing on the high platform.Of course, this is also because Li Tong's physique is tall, and his height is more than six feet. If he is only five feet short, no matter how glamorous the armor is, it will still be a little bit less interesting after all.

As the armies moved closer to the stage, Li Dan, the emperor's heir who had climbed the tower at the back, looked down at King Yong standing on the high platform, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "King Yong is blessed with martial arts, and he is truly a good assistant of the clan. This trip can promote the prestige of the country, and it will be a battle!"

This time, there are more than 1 participants in the Beimang Pledge Division. Of course, this is not the entire force of King Yong's westward journey, but only some of the troops drawn from Jinei.

Next, there are 3 horses temporarily stationed in Hedong Road, and the soldiers of Guannei Road are still gathering one after another. The whole army number is [-] people, and it actually reached a little over [-].

Even if some auxiliary soldiers and servants are excluded, there are more than [-] soldiers on the front line.The last time the imperial court used such a large-scale military force in the empire was the clan rebellion during the Chui Gong years.

Standing on the high platform, Li Tong could not help feeling overwhelmed when he saw the army gathering here.Although he was in charge of the military after the coup, he had been stationed in Mengjin before. In order to avoid disturbing the pre-determined situation in Shendu, he did not hold such a grand ceremony.

But this time, the disaster happened in Xijing, and the exchanges between the two capitals were already quite frequent, so it was impossible to hide it. In order to deter the people who were gradually rioting in the city of God, the imperial court decided to hold such a ceremony.

Although the public did not have the opportunity to visit the scene in person and witness the grand occasion, even if they were just cruising outside the field, hearing the sound of drums and horns resounding all over the world, they felt a sense of peace of mind and excitement in their hearts.

After the ax was awarded, the six banners were raised and lined up on both sides of the platform.The thousands of cavalry officers and soldiers who acted as the hatchback's pro-army each held five-color military flags, rode their horses and galloped around the field, and at the same time shouted military orders, announcing to the troops: "Those who miss the army will be cut! Those who walk behind the army will be cut! Lost the flag..."

All the armies on the scene, after hearing the order, alerted themselves, and their respective formations became more orderly and solemn. They marched until a hundred steps away from the high platform. Worship, and shouted in the mouth: "Please give the flag to the general manager!"

When he returned to the imperial court in Waizhou, Li Yuanyuan, who served as the commander of the army, held the oath of the people in his hand, and read aloud on the stage: "The chief officer of the Guannei Road, the chief protector of Beiting, the shepherd of Yongzhou, the leader of Xijing, and the king of Yongji, tell you Generals of the Sixth Army, officials and soldiers, etc., the sage strings the wood as an arc, and the wood as an arrow... Use your life and reward your ancestors! Don't use your life, but kill it in the community! There is no second order from the army, no second words from the generals! Nothing, nothing to punish!"

Although the sound of Li Yuanyuan reading the oath could not reach every corner of the field, there were few strange voices in the entire school field.Standing on the stage, Li Tong overlooked the audience. The soldiers were lined up like a wall, and their guns stood like a forest. Especially under the sunlight, the armor was flooded and intertwined into a dazzling brilliance!

Datang's military armaments were the best in the world. Aside from the various conscripts and forced conscripts during the Wu and Zhou Dynasties, the rate of front-line combat troops being armored can often reach more than [-]%.

This time, the imperial court has exhausted its treasury to prepare the army of the Guannei Road. There are as many as 1 armors of various types alone. First.

This is by no means a special effect for the curtain, each of them is a living soldier with flesh and blood, straddling a knife and holding a gun, with a murderous aura!

The serious swearing-in scene mainly focuses on Xuanwei Zhengming, but there is no interactive link where all the troops shout slogans together.After reading the oath, Chang Shi Li Yuanyuan continued to sing and drink the names of the generals, and each took the stage to receive the flag.

The transmission system of military orders in the Tang Dynasty is mainly based on Gujiao Order Banners.Six large banners and five-colored five-square flags are where the Chinese army is located. If the flags do not move, even if they die, they will not retreat.The army has a military flag, the battalion has a battalion flag, and the team has a team flag. When soldiers are in the battalion, they all gather under the flag.

In addition, each battalion and each team also has a mobile flag order for soldiers to enter and exit the formation and send troops to the infantry formation.

After each army received the flag, it was distributed among the battalions, which meant that the command system of the entire army had been established.Afterwards, the military drum sounded again. With the sound of the military drum this time, the soldiers no longer remained silent, but began to quickly adjust their formation following the direction guided by the military flag and the recognition flag.

Drum orders can be divided into big drum orders and small drum orders. Among them, the big drum orders consist of 330 rings, and after the first ring, 12 horn blowing rings form a stack, which is usually used for traveling and lodging.One hundred tones of snare drums make one sound, and eight tones of horns make one stack, which are usually used in marching infantry.The sound of drums and horns is three-way and three-folded into one order, and the sound is absolutely perfect.

Following the issuance of the flag order, the chief officer of the march and his subordinates also stepped onto the stage one after another, standing in front with banners and axes and axes behind, a thousand people on the left and right sides of the high platform were the Chinese army to protect the flag and the winning army, and the five hundred elite soldiers on the left and right of the chief officer were the chambers. Inner obedience.The so-called tooth soldiers of the later Jiedu envoys are this part of the soldiers.

After the drum rang, all the soldiers in the field had already recognized their flags.The drum sounded the second pass, and under the guidance of the recognition flag, all the generals led their troops to their respective arrays.As soon as the sound of the three folded horns is heard, all the battalions have already returned to the formation, which is the most common eight trigrams formation.

Then the decisive victorious army of the Chinese army rode their horses into the formation to check the ranks. If there are soldiers who are disorderly or still running, they will be dragged out immediately and cut at the front of the flag.However, the soldiers participating in the swearing-in today were originally the elite soldiers of the two Yamen in Shendu and the veterans of the Zhechong Mansion, but nothing like this happened.

When the armies lined up in a row, apart from the orderly appearance of the army, there was no big mystery to be seen.But when the battle formation was set up, the collocation of the various arms of the entire army became prominent.

The Eight Diagrams formation is a battle formation of the mean that integrates offense and defense. The mean of the mean does not mean that the formation is not subtle enough, but that it is balanced in all aspects, which best reflects the method of separation and reunion of the army. It is also a common battle formation for the Tang army to train and fight .

But even though his words were mean, when the entire formation was deployed, it was still full of murderous aura.

There are spears standing in front of the formation, which are used to resist horses and kill the enemy. In the middle, there are crossbowmen, who carry out long-range strikes. .

Among them, the front and middle formations can be adjusted back and forth. When encountering an enemy, the crossbowman will take the lead; if the thief enters 150 steps, he will shoot;If the thieves break through the front line, they will attack by jumping and swinging. The horse army cuts across the thieves' army, and the crossbowmen and spearmen continue to retreat the whole team, fighting layer by layer.

The so-called if you peel my heart layer by layer, you will have a sore nose, you will cry, and you will die without a whole body!

The main sign of distinguishing arms is the rationing of arms. Although it is said that the military equipment of the Tang Dynasty is excellent, such as bows, crossbows, knives and guns, everyone is basically rationed, but in the implementation of the army, there is still a certain emphasis.

Needless to say, the horse army, everyone prepares horses, and the armor is mainly Mingguang armor.The army is also equipped with idle cavalry. In addition to meeting the needs of the horse army to replace mounts during wartime, it is also used for temporary use by other military branches.For example, the jumping team is a military branch that walks and rides.After defeating the thieves, the crossbowmen can also mount their horses and shoot in pursuit.

Raiders belong to the mobile force that suppresses the formation, and they are armed differently in different periods.For example, in the early days of Datang’s entrepreneurship, it can’t be called a big business. The surprise soldiers who suppress the formation are usually confused with the decisive army of the Chinese army. Once the enemy breaks the formation and enters hand-to-hand combat, it’s over!

But now that the Tang Dynasty has a large family and a great business, the rare soldiers are usually elite heavy infantry. The famous Modao formation in later generations is often set in this position as an iron wall to press the formation.Even if the front line is completely broken, they can rely on these heavy infantry to hold on, and continue to fight with the army in the rear.

Of course, no matter how elite the army is and how excellent the equipment is, it can only improve the bottom line at the tactical level.The battlefield is ever-changing, and the outcome of a war is a systematic goal. If the strategic level cannot walk on the right path, no matter how elite the army is, it will be difficult to exert its full combat effectiveness.

The army on the school field demonstrated seven or eight battle formation changes in a row, and finally satisfied the emperor's heir and all the officials who were watching the military appearance in the tower and returned.Then the army returned to the camp to rest and reorganize, and some heavy weapons such as bows, crossbows and armor were collected uniformly, and the army's supply battalion was responsible for transportation, while the soldiers set off lightly and headed west.

Chapter 0519 meeting Tongguan, the generals welcome

In front of Tongguan Yuanhe's newly established Guancheng, a group of people were standing there looking at the road to the east, with eager expressions on their faces.

This group of people are the soldiers of the original Beidao army. Now that the order to march on behalf of Beidao has been abolished, they are now under the command of Li Shen, the general manager of Guannei Dao. They came across Henan from Fengling a few days ago and wait here. King Yong met.

Standing in front of the team were Qi Biming, Cao Renshi and several other marching chiefs. They used to oversee the army with the title of military emissary. To get a new job.

Therefore, this group of people were also quite worried. After all, King Yong was the one who could determine their future and destiny to a certain extent. In the early morning, the envoys from the front road entered the customs to inform that King Yong was entering the customs today, so they all waited outside the customs early. Don't dare to neglect.

Right now, the sun has gradually turned to the west, and the shadow of Guancheng, which is gradually slanting east, is about to cover them, but they still haven't seen the arrival of King Yong, some people can't help whispering, and they can't help worrying that King Yong might want to take advantage of this Liwei.

"Brother Qibi, since you are acquainted with His Highness King Yong, can you tell us about His Highness's temperament?"

To the north is the sound of the rushing river. After listening to it for a long time, it is inevitable to feel impetuous. Master Cao Ren approached Qi Biming and asked in a low voice.The other people were also extremely bored, seeing these two people get together, they also subconsciously leaned over.

Hearing Master Cao Ren's question, Qi Biming couldn't help laughing bitterly in his heart, what kind of friendship can he have with King Yong?

During the Yongchang period, when King Yong came out of the court and was entrusted with the title, he was still serving as a general in Shuofang Bianzhen. Last year, he worked with Nanya for a while, but at most it was a nodding acquaintance such as the court meeting. The guardian envoys of the Duhu Mansion went out to patrol the border areas, and it can be said that there was little overlap with each other.

Previously in the Daibei Dao camp, in order to reverse his rather bad situation, he had no choice but to publicize it like this. It is rare that the envoy Zhang Jiazhen was alert and helped him cover it up.But after all, his friendship with King Yong was so-so, and during the following period, colleagues often asked him this question, and he did not dare to answer rashly.

He just shook his head and waved his hands when he heard Master Cao Ren's question at this time, and said in a low voice: "It's not right to talk about the general, after all, General Cao should not make things difficult for me."

Hearing that Qi Biming still made such remarks, everyone including Master Cao Ren couldn't help feeling quite disappointed.Their future is uncertain at the moment, and they have no accomplishments to draw upon. If they are used for a new purpose, if they do not meet the general's wishes, the prospects will be even worse.

But they really don't know much about His Royal Highness King Yong. Even if they have a deep understanding of his deeds, he is nothing more than a brave and capable young man of the clan.Proud young people often have flamboyant personalities and may not be easy to get along with.

Thinking this way, finally there was a military flag waving in the east, and the generals hurriedly ordered people to go in to check, and they were sure that it was King Yong's marching troops.After the generals heard the words, they got on their horses. Xu finally heard the thunderous sound of hooves on the way to the east, and cavalry galloped forward one after another.

The generals stood on the sloping ground by the side of the road, and saw the cavalry team passing by nearly two thousand, and finally saw the flag of the Chinese Army Commander-in-Chief approaching.They didn't dare to come forward to stop them easily, so they sent envoys into the army to spread the word, and they were finally introduced into the army after half a quarter of an hour.

During the march, Li Tong didn't wear the coquettish and exaggerated gold-plated bright armor, but a plain round-neck robe and a rhinoceroskin light armor covering half of his body.

Seeing that Qi Biming and the others were introduced into the army, Li Tong reined in his horse and stopped, and then Qi Biming and the others walked forward and clasped their fists in salute: "The last general is waiting to welcome the chief."

"Dao Zuo speak!"

Li Tong raised his hand and pointed to the slope on the south side of the road, and surrounded by his personal guards, he broke away from the army that was still moving forward.

Although there is still more than an hour before dark, the 5000 men and horses on the front road of the army stretched for more than ten miles on the road close to the Yellow River. If they want to fully enter Tongguan before dark, there is no delay.That is to say, when marching inland, there is still a city where you can take refuge. If you are patrolling remote areas, the army already needs to find a place to stay, camp and set up a stove.

"I've been waiting for a long time. I'm new in command of the army. I'm unfamiliar with the personnel. All the generals should introduce themselves."

After climbing up the left slope of the road, Li Tong got off his horse and said to everyone while moving his waist and hips, which were sore and numb due to the bumpy ride for a long time.

He has already memorized the qualifications of the generals, but he still can't make the right seat when he recognizes them face-to-face. After all, there are hundreds or even nearly a thousand famous generals inside and outside the court. There are not many who can recognize and be familiar with.

Seeing that His Royal Highness King Yong's tone of speech was still gentle, everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and began to make their own statements.Li Tong nodded in response while listening to everyone's introduction.

There were 11 generals who came to greet them, three of whom were recruiting envoys from the nearby Guozhou, Shangzhou and Huazhou.This is another temporary new envoy, summoning soldiers from Zhechong prefectures from all states and visiting and recruiting athletes to join the army.The remaining eight are all the marching chiefs of Yuandai North Road.

There were more than [-] troops from the North Dao, and [-] from the South. The imperial court summoned [-] to the Shendu to serve as guards, and the rest were basically taken over by Li Tong, and they were under the jurisdiction of his Guan Nei Dao.

As for the generals who commanded the army, they were basically divided into two parts, one part served as the generals of the imperial guards, and the other part was reserved for Li Tong.Marching on behalf of the North Road, there was originally a general manager of the [-]th Route. Aside from Wu Youyi, who was just filling in, there were as many as eight people standing in front of Li Tong.

Calculated in this way, in terms of the competitiveness of high-level talents, he can actually be evenly divided with the imperial court.

Of course, Li Tong also understood that there were many reasons for these people to stay. Some of them had too strong traces of Wu Zhou on their bodies and were worried about being liquidated.

Qi Biming and Cao Renshi standing in front of the team happened to be the representatives of these two situations.

Qibi Heli, Qibiming's father, was a famous general in the Zhenguan period. Because of his great achievements, he not only married the daughter of Li Tang's clan, but Qibiming, his legitimate son, was awarded honors to Shangzhu Kingdom and was granted the title of County Duke when he was still in his infancy.

Although Qi Biming was not as strong as his father, his life history basically copied his father's process, and he won the trust of the Holy Emperor Wu Zetian.Among all the generals, the honors and favors he received are also among the best.

It's just that Prime Minister Li Zhaode has never been very interested in Fan generals. After defeating Wu Chengsi and taking the position, he dispatched Qi Biming from Nanya General to Monan to guard.Now that Li Zhaode's power is even more dominant in the court, even if Qi Biming returns to the court, there will be no good fruit to eat, so he simply stays in the army to take shelter of King Yong.

As for the other master Cao Ren, although he was also from a general family, his family background was not considered high, and he did not belong to the original noble circle. He was a general from a humble family who was promoted only after the Holy Emperor Wu Zetian came to power.Previously, when the imperial court was discussing the summoning of the acting North Dao general, his name was not mentioned at all. After all, there are talents in the imperial court who are good at serving as officials.

When Teacher Cao Ren introduced himself, he did not forget to add a sentence: "The last general served as a general in the old year. He had the honor to follow the old Lord Qinghe into Dingjiang Jiangnan. labor!"

When Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help but look at him more. Fang Xianzhong, the father of his aunt Fang's family, was formerly granted the title of Duke of Qinghe County. rebellion.But these were all decades ago, it's hard for Master Cao Ren to remember such old things.

So he also smiled and said: "The general is a famous British family, and I have heard about the military's great achievements. Now I have a seat in the mansion. I hope that I can make great achievements together!"

Li Tong was not clear about these entanglements, but he knew that Master Cao Ren had followed Qiu Shenji to Bozhou to quell the rebellion of Li Tang's clan.But the so-called people who reach out and don't hit the smiling face, since Master Cao Ren is willing to think about it, there is no need to talk about these old things, let's keep it under his command for the time being, and wait and see what happens next.

Hearing King Yong's tone of praise, Cao Renshi also showed a smile on his face, and retreated to the team with a bit of complacency.

Qi Bi, who had already declared himself as the first step, saw him like this, and couldn't help feeling secretly resentful in his heart. As soon as you met, you old boy pretended to make a relationship and didn't inform me. In vain, I still regarded you as a good brother who shared weal and woe!If you can get involved with King Yong, am I not good enough?My father-in-law conspired against King Yong and his father together!

But after that, the generals came forward one after another to report themselves, and Qi Biming couldn't go forward to add more, but just bowed his head and slandered Master Cao Ren for his lack of loyalty.

This meeting with the generals, although the occasion is a bit crude, the atmosphere is still good.At least there are no blind guys who feel that King Yong is too young to do anything, and want to show off his old qualifications, and his attitude is also respectful.

There are quite a few people like Master Cao Ren who insist on having a relationship with King Yong. After all, the circle of powerful people in the Tang Dynasty is so big. It has something to do with King Yong's family.

Of course, talking about relationships is only an opportunity for future exchanges, it is nothing more than expressing a respectful attitude, but it is not enough to affect Li Tong's future personnel arrangements.Right now these people, he is basically in the investigation stage, and how to use them next still needs to be considered.

After meeting each other, a group of people got on their horses again, surrounded His Royal Highness King Yong, and headed straight for Tongguan City.Along the way, Li Tong was also talking with the generals, wanting to hear their views and strategies on the chaos in Xijing, which was also part of the investigation.

If you say that you are lacking in opinions, or that the attitude you express is contrary to him, then there is no need to reuse them. Let us sit on the bench first, and then find another opportunity to kick them out after we have completely taken over the original Beidao soldiers. team.

While talking, a group of people had already arrived in front of Tongguan Pass City. Li Tong waved his hand and rejected the proposal of entering the pass for a rest, but planned to inspect Tongguan Pass on the spot.Next, whether it is to close the door and beat the dogs, clean up the Guanlong nobles, or run Guanzhong, and fight against the imperial court, Tongguan is the top priority.

Chapter 0520 Guanzhong imperial residence, and the town and care

As the first insurance in the country and the throat of east and west, Tongguan's importance is self-evident.

Therefore, when the imperial court was discussing going west to settle the chaos, there was also a rather intense discussion around Tongguan, discussing what Tongguan should belong to.Whether it should be directly managed by the imperial court as in previous years, or it should be placed under the jurisdiction of the Guannei Road General Manager's Mansion.

This topic is too sensitive, so until Li Tong left Shendu and led the army westward, there was no result of the debate.If there is no result, of course, the old state will be maintained, and the imperial court will still directly send soldiers to garrison.

But in Li Tong's view, the truth shouldn't be said that way.The emperor's heir had already said it when he bestowed the axe, and from now on, he would control everything from up to the blue sky and down to the underworld.

So he made a decision in his heart early in the morning. Once he entered the customs, the Guannei Road Chief Management Office would take over the defense of Tongguan. Anyway, you didn't say that I would not be allowed to occupy it, and Tongguan itself is within the territory of Guannei Road.If I'm not allowed to occupy Tongguan, I won't go to Qianling, anyway, it's your father who was buried.

Today's Tongguan is a new pass built during the reign of Tianshou.

The water level of the Yellow River has been falling all the year round, exposing a large river bank between the original Guancheng and the river bank, and horses and horses can travel unimpeded outside the pass, making Tongguan no longer have the precipitous terrain that can be filled with mud and pills.In addition, during the Yongchang period, another large-scale earthquake occurred in Huazhou, where Tongguan is located, which also greatly damaged the original customs defense.

Therefore, during the reign of Tianshou, Wu Zetian decided to build another pass city, and moved Tongguan pass city from the top of the plateau to the exposed river beach under the plateau.After all, she was also worried that some Tang Yijun would rush out of Guanzhong to shake her rule, so this new Tongguan Pass City was also built extremely majestic.

The geographical environment around Tongguan is very simple. To the north is the rolling Yellow River, and to the south is the high plateau. It is very difficult for people and horses to climb to the top. The Tongguan City near the river has become the only passage around.

When Li Tong returned to Shendu from Xijing last year, the Tongguan Pass City had not been fully built. Although the Pass City has been built up to now, various supporting buildings are still under construction.

Li Tong couldn't enter near the pass, now he visited outside the pass city, and then accompanied by all the generals, he climbed to the top of the plateau on the south side of Tongguan.The original name is Linzhiyuan. The terrain is extremely dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are gullies on both sides, which lead directly to the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains.Therefore, the ditch must be guarded when closing the pass, especially if the forbidden ditch on the west side is not guarded, the natural danger of Tongguan will only be in name only.

"People and horses in the forbidden ditch have never traveled, and each built a dock according to the terrain. So far, more than ten cities have been built, guarding the north and the south..."

The guard at Tongguan had a name that Li Tong felt quite familiar with, called Tian Guinong, so that Li Tong felt kind to him when he saw him.Tian Guinong was nearly [-] years old, and he was still raising food and arranging camps in Guancheng. After learning that His Royal Highness King Yong had ascended the plateau, he hurriedly went out to accompany him as a guide, explaining the terrain around Tongguan and the defense of the pass to King Yong.

Li Tong listened while watching the terrain on the plateau.There are large areas of pagoda tree, sangzhe, and fruit trees planted on Linzhiyuan. Although the vegetation is still withered now, it can be imagined that it will be a lush scene in midsummer.

According to Tian Guinong's narration, these trees were planted by Tongguan guards when they were guarding the pass. They can not only store soil in normal seasons, but also produce various harvests to supplement military use when they grow up.

Hearing this, Li Tong couldn't help feeling that the ancients were not entirely without concepts in water and soil conservation.Although limited by the times, there is no systematic advanced technology like the later generations, but it can also adapt to local conditions and achieve multiple goals.

Intrigued, Li Tong asked this Tian Guinong a few more questions, and found that he lived up to his name. Although he was a general, he was quite proficient in agricultural and forestry affairs, and he casually talked about various related knowledge and techniques Come, at least it satisfied Li Tong's thirst for knowledge.

Although Li Tong himself does not belong to this era, to be honest, his understanding of various farming and mulberry techniques is really so-so.After all, the material resources of later generations are more abundant, and the division of labor among people is more clear, and he himself has no pastoral sentiment. Apart from planting a few pots of cactus, he really doesn't know much about farming and mulberry affairs.

Realizing that Tian Guinong has this artistic ability, Li Tong couldn't help but carefully inquired about Tian Guinong's resume, only to realize that he could be called Lao Tongguan.He grew up in Si and worked in Si for more than ten years, until the veteran entered the court last year, and was promoted to Tongguan town general on the spot.

This trip to Guanzhong was planned for a long-term operation, so Li Tong also had a great demand for all kinds of agricultural and animal husbandry talents.Originally, he planned to send the town general back to the court directly after occupying Tongguan, but after he learned that the land returned to farmers was not limited to one use, he had the idea of ​​soliciting in his heart.

"General Tian has served as a key officer for a long time, and there are no shortages in his position. It is rare to be eclectic, and there is a coincidence of drawing parallels. It really makes people feel quite talented."

Thinking of this, Li Tong smiled at Tian Guinong and said.

After Tian Guinong heard the words, there was also a sincere smile on his face, and he clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness is serious. I grew up here in a humble position. In addition to being granted by the state, there is also a sense of nostalgia. I just want to be considerate in everything. I really dare not pretend to be talented.”

"Only when you have feelings can you focus, and you will get what you want with your heart!"

After Li Tong heard this, he smiled again and said, seeing that it was getting late, he stopped staying outside, asked his relatives to lead the horses, and rode them down to the plateau, and specially ordered Tian Guinong to follow behind him, In case of enquiry.
