No one is perfect. No matter how close Li Yuanji is to his elder brother, his mentality will always change when no one helps him when he is frustrated.

He was reflecting on why his father could tolerate this way after Li Shimin occupied one side alone.

Is it because he has strength and power?

There is also every time I support all the good resources for his elder brother. Even if I lose Taiyuan Mansion, it will not affect his elder brother's position in the hearts of his father.

But as for him, perhaps he is not a prince but a general, or an unpopular general.

The soldiers and horses he gave him were called Xiaoqi, but in fact they had very strong combat power. Most of them were recruits who had not been baptized by the battle formation. After fighting with the enemy, they directly lost more than half of the soldiers and horses. Later, there seemed to be many soldiers and horses that were supplemented, but in fact their combat power had not been improved.

Li Yuanji was good at fighting. If his father had not handed over all the troops he trained to his elder brother, he would have lost him after fighting with the vanguard.

The troops blocked by the enemy in the city are considered huge, and such a general leading the army is simply a joke.

The more Li Yuanji thought about it, the less uncomfortable it felt.

So Li Yuanji stopped doing it, and the situation in Shangzhou was already stable and immediately returned to Shuofang with his guards.

Li Yuan naturally agreed to see that Shuofang is the northern gate of Chang'an, and someone must guard it. Who knows if the Turks will suddenly call him?

Although Youzhou destroyed the Turks, no one knows what strength the soldiers and horses of the East and West Turks are scattered in the northwest are as big as the northwest.

Li Yuan wanted to place Li Yuanji in the north to prevent it, but he was not sure that Li Yuanji's mentality changed drastically at this time and had some different thoughts.

Just as the troops from the three sides were staring at Tuyuhun, Li Yuanji immediately took action after returning to Shuofang, established a workshop to produce goods, and sent spies to the north to inquire about the news.

Li Yuanji, who returned to Shuofang, began to keep a low profile at this time.

Tuyuhun, Li Shimin and Zhang Zhongjian, as soon as they arrived, they felt the changes in the environment. The delay in launching an attack was because of environmental factors that many soldiers were not accommodating to the local environment.

Not to mention them, the same was true after the Tuyuhun and Tubo cavalry entered the hinterland of the Tang Kingdom, but their physique should be slightly stronger and their reactions were not so obvious.

However, it still has some impact on combat effectiveness, but their combat effectiveness in combating locally cannot be compared.

Li Shimin had long heard of the environmental problems in Tuyuhun. After trying it myself, he found that it was really uncomfortable.

We can only hold on like this and try our best to recover as soon as possible.

Pei Qingxuan and his men were not far from Tuyuhun, and there was no situation where they were not accustomed to the local conditions. If they were like them, they would probably have their reaction.

"Captain Da'ang, the people of Tang have entered the border."

"We should hurry up and mobilize the tribe's troops and wait for the arrival of the Songzan tribe."

The people Li Shimin brought into Tuyuhun. According to their understanding, the target was Tuyuhun's capital. This time it was their siege.

After Zhang Zhongjian brought his men to Tuyuhun, he found that the soldiers were in poor condition, so he had to stay and recuperate first. It took half a month to stay.

During this period, they sent a large number of scouts to investigate the situation. It can be said that many spies in the vast area were lost and never returned.

It has some impact on their battle plan. The place is really space-wide and wants to find the other city, and you need to find the nomads to investigate the situation first.

All the situations that occurred were unexpected. Fortunately, Li Shimin had already prepared to recruit many familiar people from the border villages before going to war.

After entering Tuyuhun, they need to find nomads to ask about the situation, and the recruited people are familiar with their language, which saves them a lot of trouble.

They were exploring the way forward, and the scouts of the vanguard were also taking action. They were more well-equipped than the scouts of the other side, and had rich search experience. After all, they were scouts who had galloped through the barbarians in the north.

On the vast grassland, it is difficult for cavalry to escape after being discovered, and there is no cover in the vast area. It is easy to say if you encounter ordinary herders. If you encounter a horse team, unless the number of people is greater than the opponent, it will be futile to resist.

It is in this case that the scouts had to be careful about their actions.

In such an environment, scouts sent are often dispatched by a team of hundreds of people, so that they can also have the ability to counterattack when they encounter the opponent's horse team.

The team sent by the Pioneer Army was an elite 100-man team, but not one hundred but three hundred people. They were all light and simple to carry a lot of water and jerky, which allowed them to survive for half a month.

Don't look at the number of people, but who may be in danger.

What they do is to draw and mark the map in Tuyuhun. With the map, they can guide the troops to drive straight in. Don’t blindly explore and save costs.

The exploration time of Tuyuhun will not be too short. At this time, the merchants in the Tang Dynasty brought cattle and sheep back, especially beef jerky, so that the merchants could make a lot of money.

The attraction of beef can be explained by madness. Some merchants even sell all the goods after finding one.

The beef jerky thing was a big deal, and even Li Yuan started to complain because he didn't buy many pounds after learning the news.

Through these small things, we can reflect how rich a family is. If you say that the price of beef jerky is very expensive, even if you spend thousands of stalks like this, you can spend it casually.

As the emperor, his attitude towards merchants was not to compete with the people for profit. In fact, many court officials were secretly operating various businesses.

Especially after purchasing steam equipment from Youzhou, Samurai was given the assignment to other families with advanced money-making tools.

Take the production of cement as an example. To say that it is to supply Wagang to earn meager profits, in fact, it is not just providing cement for Youzhou. In this way, all the workshops in the world are working for Youzhou.

After the aristocratic family made profits, they became even more crazy. Various workshops were opened relatively to drive the economic development of the Tang Kingdom. Unfortunately, the aristocratic family made money but spent very little money.

Most of the expenditures were used to purchase equipment. Such economic development was not very beneficial to the Tang Kingdom. After all, all the money was made by the aristocratic families, and the royal family was still operating their original interests.

This is a disadvantage. If the development continues like this, the power of the aristocratic families will be too strong. Then, it will be easy to change the dynasty and generation.

At this time, Li Yuanji was working secretly with some aristocratic families. In fact, these supporters initially supported Li Jiancheng.

The biggest benefit of the investment of the aristocratic family is from the Dragon Master, and investing in the prince is the most common way of investment.

Li Yuanji is Li Jiancheng's right arm. Although Li Jiancheng's morale is a bit sluggish after his failure, he still has not been neglected with Li Yuan's support.

This gave Li Yuanji a chance.
