Chapter 35 After the Hero

Li Longji was worried about money. When he heard Yang Shenjin say this, he immediately became energetic and said, "Yang Aiqing, come on."

Yang Shenjin is considered a descendant of the emperor. He is the great-grandson of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, great-grandson of King Yang of Qi, grandson of King Yang Zhengdao of Sui, and son of Yang Chongli of Hongnong County.

The Li and Yang families fell in love and killed each other.

In general, the Li family is quite sympathetic to the Yang family. Not only is they not afraid of it, they also have an important task.

Yang Shenjin's father Yang Chongli is the best example.

Yang Chongli was smart and very skilled since childhood. He served as the governor of Luo, Liang, Hua, Fen and Huai, and was famous for his political achievements.

In the first year of Kaiyuan, Li Longji transferred Yang Chongli to the court and served as the position of Taifuqing.

Taifuqing was the real Tang Dynasty's money bag, and it was even richer than the Ministry of Revenue.

The Ministry of Revenue is the people of the world and the financial administration. The Taifu Qing is in charge of warehousing and trade in wealth, and the Kyoto city offices and the world's prices are regulated, and it is mainly responsible for the commerce sector.

It can also be said that the Ministry of Revenue and Taifuqing control the economy of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Yang Chongli worked in Taifuqing for twenty years, and was fair and honest. Not long ago, he was appointed as the Minister of Revenue.

It can be said that Li Longji handed over the economy of the Tang Dynasty to Yang Chongli alone.

Yang Chongli did not disappoint Li Longji's respect, and the wealth in the treasury was piled up like a mountain.

When the court checked the accounts, Yang Chongli's financial statements were all accurate. The money saved by inspections every year was millions of yuan, and he was a veritable official.

Unfortunately, two years ago, Yang Chongli fell seriously ill and resigned from his position as Taifuqing.

Li Longji was grateful to Yang Chongli's great achievements and was unwilling to hand over the position of Taifuqing to others, so he planned to choose one of Yang Chongli's three sons.

Yang Chongli had a very good family education. His three sons, Yang Shenyu, Yang Shenjin, and Yang Shen, were all outstanding people, were diligent and honest in governance, and had the style of a father.

But Yang Shenjin was the best, so he was appointed as the Censor of the Supervisor and in charge of the income and expenditure of the Taifu.

Yang Shenjin did not disappoint everyone's expectations. He was a profound and resolute person and was talented. He was good at managing finances and was in charge of Taifu. He had outstanding political achievements and inherited his father Taifuqing.

Yang Shenjin said respectfully: "I have a good friend, named Wang, who is from the Wang family in Taiyuan. His grandfather was Wang Fangyi, a famous general of the Western Regions of our court. This person is extremely bottom-line about financial affairs and has more abilities than his ministers."

Yang Shenjin's words made Li Longji very interested.

Wang Fangyi was the most brilliant later general of the Tang Dynasty after Pei Xingjian. He was a great success in consolidating border defense and pacifying the Western Regions. Unfortunately, it was broken into Wu Zetian's hands.

"After the hero, he will definitely be extraordinary!" Li Longji also thought of Wang Zhongsi and said excitedly: "Yang Aiqing chose a time to bring the king. I will personally meet the descendants of this famous sect for a while."

************

The soldiers were stationed in Peshawar, and the newly promoted general Abu Muslim, the highest military commander of Arabia, led 20,000 vanguard troops to the Kabul River.

The Tang army cavalry that appeared sporadically along the way was wasted a lot of time and finally arrived near the Kabul River in the morning mist.

At this time, what appeared in front of them were flags that covered the sky and the sun, and the powerful soldiers under Feng Changqing, the governor of Anxi.

Looking at the murderous military formation opposite, Abu Muslim's face was a little heavy.

Arabs and Tubo have the same interests. On the day they received the news, they immediately chose to send troops to the Western Regions.

Mosremasa directly sent Abu Muslim as the pioneer and forced his crossing of the Kabul River.

Abu Muslim moved quickly, but he didn't expect that he was still one step late for the Tang army.

"It turns out that it's not an opponent that can be despised!"

Abu Muslim looked at the other party's powerful military formation and could not help but sigh.

Compared with the opponents they encountered in the past, the army in front of them was obviously completely incomparable.

"No matter what, we must take down the Kabul River..."

Abu Muslim's eyes were decisive.

Arabs planned to use India as pedals to go north to pacify the Western Regions.

However, there are two rivers between India and the Tang Dynasty, one is the Xindu River that runs through the east and west, and the other is the Kabul River connecting the northwest and southeast.

The total length of Xindu River is about 2736 kilometers and has a wide basin. The upper reaches of this river are dangerous, and it has been called Xuandu or Big Headache Ridge and Small Headache Ridge.

The Arab navy has always been their weakness, and they have suffered many losses from Byzantines in this regard.

The lion king Mosremasa also dominated the land battle and was not good at water battles.

Xindu River doesn't think about it at all.

The Kabul River is relatively flat, and the river channel is not very wide, especially at the junction of the middle and lower reaches, there is a stone arch bridge called Tangqiao, which can be passed by the army.

The moment he decided to send troops, Mosremasa sent troops to seize Tangqiao to cross the army.

Abu Muslim knew the importance of Tangqiao and marched day and night, but he was still one step slower.

"Someone is here!"

Abu Muslim was hesitating whether to attack forcefully, but unexpectedly found a man running from the opponent's army and holding a flag in his hand.

Abu Muslim also knew that this was a signal of the message and waved his soldiers and let them go and standby.

The people sent by Feng Changqing naturally spoke Arabic. After more than ten steps, they clasped their fists from afar: "My Jiedushi said that General Abu came from afar and traveled day and night, and would inevitably be exhausted. My Tang Dynasty was a benevolent and righteous army, so he would not move troops at this time. General Abu could rest here and wait for his strength to recover before fighting with our Tang army."

A teacher of benevolence and righteousness!

This is obviously used to deceive children.

Abu Muslim was also a famous Arab general in history. Although he was a slave, he became an important Arab general. He was the one who defeated Gao Xianzhi in the Battle of Talas.

Unlike Mosremasa's bravery, he is good at fighting tough battles.

Abu Muslim was good at using strategies and had a keen and direct insight into people's hearts. He instigated Geluo to rebel against the Tang Dynasty and won the victory of the first decisive battle between the East and the West.

After a moment of contemplation, Abu Muslim had already thought of the other party's intentions.

The Tang Bridge is still there, and the Tang army should have just arrived and had not had time to destroy the bridge.

If you rest on the spot, it would be like giving the Tang army time to demolish Tang Bridge.

Thinking of this, Abu Muslim whispered: "Go back and thank you for your governor's kindness. We are warriors under the command of the Lion King of the Arab Empire. We are protected by Allah and have infinite strength. Under any circumstances, we can crush all pagans!"

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

The sound of the war drums that were deafening were already ringing.

Abu Muslim issued a letter of war and blew the horn of war.

The Arabian specialty infantry shield array is lined up in front of the array in a long row.

The first row is a soldier holding a battle axe and holding a long shield. The four rows of the back row are spearmen with spears, followed by a pair of armored swordsmen...
