On June 11th, the wind was gentle and smooth, the sky was blue, and the southern tour began.
It has been half a year since the founding of the Jin Dynasty. Now, the initial turbulent period has passed, and the next step is official and stable development.
It was against this background that Li Xiang prepared this southern tour. Li Xiang's southern territory only included part of Jingbei, Yizhou and the newly established Nanzhou.
The destination of this southern tour was, of course, Yizhou and Nanzhou, which had just been conquered. At present, there were only two places worthy of his mobilizing troops and making a special trip in person.
The purpose of the southern tour was to express the importance he attached to the two places he had just won, and also for Li Xiang to personally go to stabilize the people's hearts in these two states, so that these two places could enter the next stage of work as soon as possible.
The next step for Li Xiang's work is to establish a foothold in the south.
These two places can be stabilized as soon as possible, the Nanman problem can be solved as soon as possible, and Wu Qi, the governor of Nanzhou, can be worthy of his name, and the sooner Li Xiang can start his next plan.
Early in the morning, all civil and military officials gathered at the east gate of Luoyang City to see off Li Xiang's southern patrol team. In the entire Luoyang City, even officials as big as sesame seeds were gathered here.
"Mother, there are so many people outside, and there is even a huge team in front of you!" Qing Li said in surprise as she looked at the long queue.
As the Snake among the 12 zodiac signs, this one was implanted into the Southern Barbarians. Later, she entered the palace as a maidservant of the saint Xianle and continued to be a maid beside Xianle.
After all, he was born among the southern barbarians, and he was dazzled by the scene among the big Han people. It was also rare to see the emperor's southern tour, and the thousands of troops accompanying him gathered together.
Perhaps they have seen scenes of tens of thousands of people gathering together, but the question is, how many of them have seen tens of thousands of elite troops gather together?
Li Xiang's personal guard, the Tiger Guard, naturally has to follow him. However, this personal guard suffered heavy losses in the last war. Although the personnel are now fully replenished, the combat effectiveness is definitely not the same. If you want to return to its peak,
The grand occasion may take some time.
Although not all of the Phoenix Guards were accompanying them, half of them were with them.
After all, it is normal for an emperor to be accompanied by several concubines when he goes on a tour. These Phoenix Guards are responsible for protecting these concubines!
In addition to these, there are Gao Shun's trapped camp, Bai Qi's Killing God Thousand-Man Team, Luo Cheng's Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun, and Chen Qingzhi's White Robe Army.
Of course, Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army had just been replenished, and they were still far from their peak. However, this was also to send a signal to Shuzhong, so he took them with him.
Ten thousand elite troops accompanied him, and there were also several god-level generals accompanying him. The strongest one was naturally Xing Tian, who would follow Li Xiang in most cases.
This is only on the surface, the floating water house and secret guards are already scattered around.
This security intensity has been achieved as much as possible.
Xian Le had already guessed that it was the emperor's southern tour, and he was accompanied by the concubines, civil and military ministers, their families, and even the accompanying imperial doctors and other personnel. What's more, most of the people in the city loved to watch.
It's lively, and there are a lot of people outside.
The emperor was on a southern tour, and he was accompanied by some of his ministers. Not only was he naked, he was the only one.
However, before Xian Le could reply to her words, the curtain was pulled open from the outside, and Li Xiang was seen getting into the carriage in a dusty manner. Qing Li immediately went out after seeing this.
As soon as Li Xiang sat down, he couldn't help but look at her. Seeing her eyes turning slightly green, he couldn't help but frown and ask.
"But you're tired?"
As one of the five concubines, Xian Le has the highest status among the concubines accompanying this time, and she is also the one Li Xiang must take with him when naming her.
What she did was naturally for her special status.
The reason for launching this southern tour this time is to solve the Southern Barbarian problem as soon as possible. As one of the two saints of the Southern Barbarians, she is naturally the top priority. Even if she doesn’t want to go with
That won't work. All the concubines can be excluded from the accompanying team, but she is the only one who cannot.
Of course, no concubine would waste this opportunity to accompany the king.
Xian Le shook his head: "I didn't close the window yesterday, so I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, and I couldn't sleep much after that."
Li Xiang showed a distressed expression when he heard this, and could only say: "If you are tired, just take a nap, and I will watch over you!"
"Your Majesty, are you going to the front?" Xian Le looked at him in surprise.
"No need, everything has been arranged. After everyone bids farewell, we can just set off!" Li Xiang shook his head and said.
Logically speaking, if you leave Sizhou and enter Nanyang, and then enter Yizhou from Nanyang, this road will be much easier.
However, Li Xiang decided to go west to Yongzhou first, wait until he stayed in Yongzhou for a period of time, and then go south from Yongzhou to Yizhou.
Although this road is relatively more difficult to walk, fortunately, it passes through Yongzhou on the way. The three states in the north have to send troops out of the grasslands, and Xizhou is especially under great pressure from the war. Yongzhou is an important food and grass supply location and
Transfer station.
It's rare to go out, so if you have the chance, you have to go and see it with your own eyes.
Furthermore, the impact of the establishment of the dynasty, coupled with the impact of the large-scale transfer of officials from various places this time, inevitably caused a certain degree of chaos in various places, and it took a lot of time to stabilize. Even for this reason, it is worth it
He specially went to Yongzhou to have a look.
While thinking about this, he noticed that Concubine Chen's expression looked a little drowsy. Li Xiang wanted to laugh but felt distressed at the same time, so he could only say: "If you are tired, just take a nap, I will call you when you get there!"
"
"good!"
Xian Le was really sleepy. She suddenly woke up in the middle of the night yesterday, and it was dawn before she could fall asleep. She couldn't sleep when she heard the noise in the courtyard, so she simply got up early, and she had been waiting in the palace for departure. This was unavoidable.
Just tired.
After a while, Li Xiang heard Concubine Chen's steady breathing, looked at her helplessly, covered her with the blanket on the side, and took out the military book he had been reading from the secret compartment next to him.
, read it with relish.
After a moment and three quarters, the front finally started to move, and the team behind them immediately followed. Li Xiang couldn't help but look at Concubine Chen when he saw the carriage moving. Seeing that she frowned slightly, it was obvious that she was not sleeping well, so he took advantage of the situation.
He helped her to his side and let her sleep peacefully on his legs.
