There are also grasslands in Southern Xinjiang, and they are all controlled by the Southern Xinjiang Army. They can produce many good horses every year.

Shi Zhongtang stirred and woke up from his memories, "War horse?"

"Yes." Chunyu repeated what he just said.

Shi Zhongtang said: "Map!"

The attendant placed the map on the table and spread it out.

Shi Zhongtang's thick fingers landed on southern Xinjiang, slid along to northern Xinjiang, and finally stopped in Tanzhou.

"Now that Tanzhou is in decline, the grassland is basically controlled by Chenzhou. If it were me, I would definitely send troops to Tanzhou to defeat it."

The finger slides towards the north.

"With the capture of Tanzhou, the grassland has since become the inland of Northern Xinjiang. Chenzhou has also changed from the front line to the hinterland, which has many benefits. Moreover, from this, Northern Xinjiang can use Tanzhou as its foundation to expand into the hinterland.

You can attack, you can retreat and you can defend. You can advance and retreat, showing your ease and ease!"

Wei Ming looked at the map and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy to fight."

"Really?" Shi Zhongtang tapped Tanzhou on the map with his fingers, "If it had been anyone else, it wouldn't have been easy to fight. Yang Xuan, no! I'm convinced of this!"

"Then, why didn't he take action?" Chunyu wondered.

"Don't worry about other people's affairs for the time being." Shi Zhongtang said, "Immediately send someone to Chang'an, bring gifts, and greet your Majesty and the empress. Remember to be respectful."

"yes."

Wei Ming said: "My lord, your Majesty's move is a bit ambiguous. It is clearly suggesting that the lord drives Zhang Chumao away, but he refuses to publicly reprimand Zhang Chumao..."

Shi Zhongtang smiled and said, "Your Majesty has many things to consider."

He pointed at the map and his entourage came over to collect it.

"However, Your Majesty has granted me the title of Duke, so that I can become independent from Zhang Chumao.

The first thing is that from today on, I will handle my affairs by myself without asking Zhang Chumao for instructions."

"yes."

"Secondly, I will reorganize my subordinates and drive out all the disobedient generals and replace them with our people."

"yes."

"In addition, I have been saving good horses in the past two years, and now I have five thousand. I plan to use these five thousand good horses to form an elite cavalry."

Wei Ming is a general, so it is naturally impossible for him to lead.

Shi Zhongtang said: "Let Ashina Zheming come."

Chunyu said happily: "Is it Zhe Ming? That's great."

Not long after, heavy footsteps came from outside.

A burly man with darting eyes and lightning eyes walked in and saluted, "I have met the Duke."

"Ashina Zheming!" Shi Zhongtang looked at him, with a smile finally showing on his face, "I want to form three thousand elite cavalry, the best horses, the best warriors, the best armor and weapons, of course.

, and the best warrior."

Ashina Zheling knelt down and said, "I am willing to die for the sake of our country!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Shi Zhongtang laughed heartily.

"You start this matter immediately. Remember, what I want is an indestructible cavalry. Even if it faces the Black Armor Cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army, it will still not fall behind, and it can even be a powerful force that can win the battle!"

"Take your orders!"

Then everyone left.

The chamberlain came and said, "Shang Guogong, we are going back now."

"How many days will I have to rest?" Shi Zhongtang felt that it was too urgent.

The chamberlain shook his head, "Your Majesty needs to know the news urgently."

It seems that Northern Xinjiang has put a lot of pressure on Chang'an.

Shi Zhongtang clapped his hands and Chun Yu came in.

"Spring brings up good things, and a good life will be given to the noble one."

"Yes!" Chunyu responded respectfully.

This means giving another benefit.

The chamberlain smiled and said, "In this case, we will wait in Chang'an to cheer for Shang Guogong's good news!"

"Easy to say."

Shi Zhongtang knew that this servant was fed by him and could be used in the future.

The chamberlain finally said: "Don't forget, Mr. Shang, all this is given by your Majesty."

Your Majesty can give it and you can take it back.

Shi Zhongtang said sincerely: "My loyalty to Your Majesty will be proven day by day."

The chamberlain left, and the room became quiet.

Shi Zhongtang took a sip of tea.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Reach out and gently touch the will.

"This is power!"

That year, he was seventeen years old and a famous warrior in the tribe.

He fell in love with a girl.

The girl has a face that is both angry and happy. When she is angry, she can make him lose his mind. When she is happy, she can make him feel that the whole world is shining.

In order to win the heart of his sweetheart, Shi Zhongtang always rushed to the front in every battle for the tribe and made countless meritorious deeds.

The girl gradually fell in love with this warrior. Seeing that something good was about to happen between the two, Shi Zhongtang was preparing to invite someone to the girl's house to propose marriage the next day...

When he woke up in the morning, his mother sighed and looked at him with a somewhat sad look in her eyes, "She's gone."

Shi Zhongtang didn't know what his mother meant, "What happened?"

"She went to the chief."

Shi Zhongtang ran out of his tent frantically and found the girl's home.

"The leader likes her."

The girl's parents looked happy. Obviously, they would gain more benefits by giving their daughter to the leader.

"I will make meritorious deeds and I will benefit you."

Shi Zhongtang was dizzy and even spoke incoherently.

The girl's father sighed, "The grassland is so big. We are just like a flock of sheep. We can only follow the leader."

He just felt heartbroken and empty.

He didn't go home because he felt he couldn't face everyone.

He wandered on the grassland for more than ten days.

When he came back, he had lost a lot of weight.

But the whole person is different.

He looks peaceful and honest.

He obeyed his parents' advice and married an honest woman.

When he saw the girl again, he bowed respectfully. Occasionally he looked up and saw the contempt in the girl's eyes.

oh!

At that moment, he yelled.

Becoming more peaceful and honest.

When he had nothing to do, he spent time with those warriors, wrestling, horse racing, archery, drinking together, and talking about the future together... They were brothers and sisters.

Tang Jun is coming.

The tribes gathered together and went to the Khan to form an army.

In the ensuing fight, the leader was hit by an arrow. The arrow missed his spine and penetrated deep into his heart... There are countless examples of such accidental injuries on the battlefield.

No one cares about this unfortunate guy.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, Shi Zhongtang led dozens of cavalry to mobilize from the inside, creating chaos. The Tang army generals took advantage of the situation to attack and won a great victory.

After the war, he was brought to the general.
