I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 151 Planning the Western Regions
Li Shimin stood at the west gate, waiting patiently for the triumphant soldiers. Zhang Liao and others found that Li Shimin greeted them at the gate, and quickly got off their horses. They bowed respectfully and said: \"The last general, I pay my respects to the lord (the general).\"

Seeing his beloved generals pay homage to him in unison, Li Shimin laughed and jumped off the horse: \"Haha, generals, please get up quickly. You have worked hard in this battle. The merits of pacifying Xiliang are in Sheji. It takes everyone working together.”

Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and other generals were all rosy, and their hearts were surging. They all felt Li Shimin\'s deep true feelings, a feeling of being trusted, recognized, and praised.

There is also a sense of honor and pride that I have never had before, and I look at Li Shimin with even more fanatical eyes.

This is something called personality charm. Maybe they haven\'t felt it yet, but Li Shimin\'s figure has been completely imprinted in their hearts. From now on, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, they will not hesitate to jump off the cliff in front of them.

All the generals immediately clasped their fists and said excitedly: \"The last general will go through fire and water to share the worries of the Lord, and he will not hesitate to do so!\"

\"Haha,...\" hearty laughter rang out among the crowd.

Seeing three unfamiliar faces standing behind Zhang Liao, Li Shimin asked kindly: \"I think these three are the three generals Meng Qi, Ling Ming, and Yan Ming. , Shiming Sansheng is lucky, haha.\"

Seeing Li Shimin\'s sincerity and enthusiasm, the three of them were a little moved. After looking at Li Shimin carefully, they all felt an indescribable nobleness from Li Shimin, and his gestures showed a domineering arrogance to control everything.

\"Tsk tsk! This Li Shimin is really extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary.\" Everyone was completely overwhelmed by Li Shimin\'s demeanor.

Immediately without any further hesitation, the three of them bowed to pay homage and said: \"The general is absurdly praised, and the last general is terrified. Now that he is under the command of the general, he will definitely do the work of a dog and a horse, and he has repaid the general\'s kindness.\"

\"Haha, please hurry up, everyone, we will not get drunk tonight.\" Li Shimin smiled heartily.

Soon, Li Shimin led the generals back to the barracks first, and the rest of the army circled the city for a week before returning to the camp.

…………

Naturally, Li Shimin personally arranged for this large army to encircle the city. Firstly, to show off his muscles, so that those with ulterior motives can wake up. Secondly, he wanted to enhance the sense of honor of his soldiers. The spirit and temperament of an army are the soul of this team. And self-esteem and sense of honor are the best nourishment for this soul.

Sure enough, the effect was very good. Something called family and country feelings slowly melted into their blood.I feel what is the sense of honor of a soldier, instead of being confused and fighting for no reason.

After the army circled the city for a week, they filed out from the east gate and returned to the Bashang military camp. This Bashang military camp was originally one of the three major camps of the Han Dynasty to defend Chang\'an. The camp was built on the mountain to guard the hinterland of Guanzhong. Geographical location is extremely important.

Li Shimin built a high platform in the barracks in Waibashang, Chang\'an, and prepared to review his soldiers here.

After Dong Zhuo escaped from Chang\'an, it was left idle, and later it was revived again under Li Shimin\'s repairs, and became an important place for Li Shimin to garrison troops.

More than [-] troops marched forward from outside the camp, and the sound of raindrop-like and dense footsteps \"dong dong...\" echoed in the camp.

Under Zhang Liao\'s unified command, more than a dozen thousand square teams lined up neatly on the school grounds, densely packed from a distance, forests of long halberds, seas of swords and guns, which was spectacular.

More than [-] people are as motionless as a mountain, and the crows and sparrows are silent. The murderous aura, if there is any, rises into the sky, changing the color of the world.

Li Shimin walked up to the high platform steadily with sonorous and powerful steps, several generals of the army under the field hurriedly bowed and saluted, and the [-] troops under the field also half-kneeled and saluted in unison.I don\'t know who took the lead and shouted: \"The general is mighty!\"

Immediately, the [-] troops on the field erupted like a tsunami:

\"The general is mighty!\"

\"The general is mighty!\"

Li Shimin drew out his sword and raised it upwards, and all the soldiers stood up quickly, all of them tall and straight, like upright javelins.

\"Soldiers, tell me why you are fighting!\" Li Shimin shouted like dragons and tigers.

\"Unify China and spread the world!\"

\"Unify China and spread the world!\"

The [-] army shouted frantically, piercing through gold and cracking rocks, and swallowing mountains and rivers with anger. Li Shimin enjoyed this long-lost cry, as if dreaming back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and for a while he couldn\'t tell where he was.

\"Soldiers, take up your weapons, destroy all enemies, restore the glory of the Han people, and restore the prosperity of our celestial dynasty!\" Li Shimin couldn\'t restrain his excitement, and tears rolled down his eyes. At this moment, he seemed to have truly integrated into this world. The era, truly regard him as his own era.

At this moment, he felt a strong sense of mission, spreading from the sky, or God had arranged for him to come here.

…………

After the simple but grand military parade, Li Shimin brought several people to the General\'s Mansion. He had a mysterious gift to share with everyone.

That is the map of the 36 countries in the Western Regions that took nearly a year to draw. The huge map records in detail the geographical terrain, mountains, rivers and other information of the countries in the Western Regions.

In the eighth year of the founding of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty (83 A.D.), Sima Banchao was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Western Regions.In the third year of Hedi Yongyuan (AD 91), Ban Chao was also used as the guardian.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial court has actually ruled the countries in the Western Regions, but now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, these small Western Region countries do not buy much from the imperial court. In addition, the Wusun Kingdom has risen in the Western Regions, and these small countries have knelt down at Wusun\'s feet again.

The generals looked at this huge map, and their hearts were surging. Once upon a time, the flags of the Han people searched every inch of land here, and the prestige of the Han people spread to every corner of the Western Regions.

Similarly, this is also a road flowing with gold. The amount of trade between the Central Plains and the Western Regions is huge. Now that the glory is no longer, it can only make people sigh.

Li Shimin had a panoramic view of everyone\'s reactions, and he also felt the restlessness of these generals.

At this time, Li Shimin suddenly asked Ma Chao: \"Meng Qi, do you know the purpose of letting you see this map?\"

\"General, I understand your intentions, open up the territory, expand the prestige of China, reorganize the Western Regions, and incorporate this into my territory of China!\"

\"Well said, it suits me very well. This Western Region was originally my homeland of China. We must not lose it in our hands, otherwise we will have no face to face our ancestors.\" Li Shimin was very excited, as if he had a special liking for this land.
