As for who this expert was, Li Sheng could guess it with his toes without much thinking. He was 80% from Rome!
...This made Li Sheng very interesting.
It's not surprising to get support from Rome, after all, even Goguryeo colluded with Rome.
But they can also train these people to infiltrate public opinion...
Li Sheng estimated that the countries in the Western Regions probably did not expect that the Tang Dynasty could gather force at such a speed. In one month, they assembled 300,000 troops and supporting grain, grass, and supplies in Lingzhou.
Most of these guys are not ready, so they have to disgust you to delay some time.
But such a detailed operation, Li Shengqingzhi is definitely not something that the nomadic people can think of. In all likelihood, there is a mastermind behind him!
Of course, Li Sheng doesn't care much about whether there are masterminds and help from these friendly countries in the Western Regions or support from great powers... Anyway, our Tang Dynasty does not exist by relying on the weakness of others, but has always relied on its own strength.
But... Li Sheng is a little worried that since the situation is a bit complicated, Li Er might have to force others to ask him to do the work again.
This is a bit hard. Li Sheng has spent the past few years with great difficulty, and this year he finally feels like a big boss with freedom of wealth and leisure. What if Li Er shakes people again... then what will happen.
But when he left Chang'an, Li Sheng shook his head and told himself not to worry too much.
The men under Li Er's command are really as fierce as clouds, and their advisers are like rain.
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Li Xiaogong, Li Jing... should probably not call me by name again.
and……
Just after leaving Chang'an, Li Sheng returned to Hangzhou and planned to tease the two distinguished guests at home...
As expected, Wu Meiniang arrived with the news of the imperial edict.
"Holy crap...really?"
In the study, Li Sheng looked at Wu Meiniang who hurried over with a confused face.
When Li Sheng looked at her like this, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but grimace, "Young master, this is His Majesty's edict, how can I dare to lie about my identity? Looking at this edict, I'm afraid Your Majesty is also very interested, I'm afraid I can't shirk it..."
…
At the same time in Hangzhou city, Li Sheng was speechless and choked, calling out bad luck.
In the desert of the Western Regions thousands of miles away.
One tent after another is scattered in an extremely beautiful meadow.
The pastures are green, filled with cattle and sheep, and herds of horses.
What a pastoral scene with beautiful mountains and rivers!
And in this lush and fertile pasture, dozens of riders were running fast. Among them were all wearing leather armor, with strange hairstyles, and carrying scimitars at their waists. The leader was a strong man with mottled black and white hair.
The tall recurve bow with carved patterns is exactly what he is leading his troops to hunt!
After a chase, the man with mottled black and white hair suddenly focused his eyes, then raised his right finger and his left arm shook.
The bowstring immediately vibrated with a dull and terrifying sound.
The silver-haired man's eyes lit up, and then he burst into laughter, "My child, come with daddy! Let's see if daddy is qualified to teach you the art of riding and shooting!"
The silver-haired man spurred his horse forward, taking hundreds of steps in the blink of an eye. It took a long time for the soldiers behind him to catch up, one by one. Even though they were riding horses, they were still tired from the high-intensity riding.
panting.
And among the group of riders, there was another young man who rode forward.
An old man and a young man looked at the ground at the same time and saw a big wild sheep on the ground. It had curved and coiled horns and a plump and strong body. It was obviously a top grade sheep.
The sheep had fallen to the ground at this moment, and there was a thick and long feathered arrow stuck in the sheep's head on the sheep's head. This arrow directly destroyed the sheep's brain and killed him on the spot.
The strong sheep didn't even struggle or twitch at this moment, and completely lost all signs of life.
When the young rider saw it, his face immediately turned red for no apparent reason.
Then the silver-haired middle-aged man next to him smiled and said, "How about it, kid? My father can still teach you a thing or two about the art of riding and shooting?"
The silver-haired middle-aged man smiled. The young man was taller and stronger than the silver-haired man, but his face turned redder and redder, as if he was very embarrassed.
"Father...Father, can you shoot from such a distance? Why..."
The other riders on the side seemed to be holding back their laughter.
But the silver-haired man just smiled when he spoke, and then regained his solemn expression. He looked at the young man for a while, and then said seriously,
"That's how hunting is. It requires bravery and tenacity. This is the greatest pride of us Tuhun people!"
"But kid, you must not forget that the prey is prey, it is not raised by you, and it will not act according to your wishes. Only by waiting patiently for the prey to reveal its flaws can the arrow be inserted into the right place!"
As he spoke, the silver-haired man's face seemed to be a little more frosty, and his voice was not as confident and strong as before, and he felt a bit ethereal and lonely.
The young man heard this and nodded his head vigorously, "Father, I understand!"
"Hahahaha... Just understand. If you can understand this truth, we in Tuyuhun will be able to survive forever!..."
While the silver-haired man smiled and expressed his approval to the child, he couldn't help but look into the distance in a daze...
Among the large group of riders around him, although they all wore leather armor, the leather armor on the ones leaning against the silver-haired man was much more refined and thicker, and the material was completely different from the others. Obviously...
One of them approached the silver-haired man and was about to say something when suddenly the young man asked, "But father, what if... you encounter a powerful gift and don't give it a chance?"
The young man seemed a little unsure. He scratched his head and thought for a moment, "For example, a tiger in the mountains is bigger than an ox and as agile as a mouse. What should I do if there is no chance for this kind of thing?"
When the young man asked this question, the silver-haired man was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would be asked back when he spoke. However, after a second, his eyes showed excitement and he burst out laughing on the spot!
"Hahahahaha... Fu Yun, you are worthy of being my son, Murong Shun! It's great that you can ask this question..."
Murong Shun sighed with emotion, and then spoke more earnestly, but in a more gloomy and decisive tone, "My child, you have to remember that all animals in the world will show their flaws, it just depends on whether you are patient enough.
"
"Even a tiger seems to have no flaws...but if we dig a trap, even a tiger will still have flaws!"
Murong Shun, King of Tuyuhun, stared at his heir and said solemnly in the most serious tone of his life!
The young man fell into deep thought after hearing this... After a moment, he looked at his father and nodded vigorously.
After the two of them finished speaking, the knight on the side came closer...
