Chapter 480: Chapter 31: Wherever the Sun and Moon Shine, There Lies Tang Territory!

This matter was swiftly and thoroughly settled.

At the same time, Gu Quan also began a quelling campaign throughout the Hetao Region.

He was like a guardian for Xue San and other members of the Gu Clan, always working under the name of Gu Yan, striving to bring glory to the entire family.

Not only did Gu Yan and others feel a pang in their hearts, even Gu Yi felt the same.

Gu Quan was indeed a rare individual.

His character, the sense of responsibility for the entire family, and his inner perseverance were unmatched by others.

He cared nothing for fame and fortune.

He always adhered to his principles.

While adding bricks and tiles to the Gu Clan, he helped Li Shimin realize the grand cause in his heart.

Especially after integrating the Luoshu Harmonizing Device, his Commander Attribute had reached the pinnacle of the era.

Now, he—

was the sharpest blade for the Gu Clan and Great Tang.

With Li Shimin ensuring stability in the court and the government, no one could hinder his edge.

This was a perfect pair of ruler and minister.

Li Shimin’s courage and ability provided Gu Quan with absolute motivation; such a configuration of ruler and minister was extremely rare in the annals of history.

In just a few months—

The chaos from all directions ceased, and the discontented noble nomads were buried under the iron hooves of Great Tang.

Gu Quan showed no mercy whatsoever.

Just like Li Shimin, he always adhered to one principle—stability exists only under the sharp blade!

The clouds moved in all directions.

Gu Quan and Li Shimin always controlled the extent, ensuring that the affairs at the borders would not affect the development within Kyushu. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

As the system of Great Tang gradually unfolded.

The migration of various tribes gradually completed and began to stabilize, including stringent prevention and guarding of governance.

Under these various measures.

The national strength of Great Tang was climbing at an astonishing speed.

The resilience of the people of Kyushu was truly astonishing!

With Li Shimin continuously strengthening land supervision and developing land to help the impoverished farmers, this significant growth was also inevitable.

Especially with the continuous revival of commerce.

Although all this had just begun, the benefits from the various tribes integrating into Kyushu were already gradually emerging. The orderly development of commerce was undoubtedly beneficial to a dynasty!

Reports of victory kept arriving in Chang’an from all directions.

Li Shimin became increasingly confident.

This entire development did not satisfy him in the least, but instead fueled his greater aspirations.

As expected, he set his sights on the Western Regions.

Western Turkic, Goguryeo.

These were goals he had long set.

In addition, he also planned to repair post stations, deciding to renovate them throughout the land with Chang’an and Luoyang as the centers.

This was no small project.

The post stations Li Shimin wanted to repair were not just one or two.

He wanted to cover the entire nation, setting up a post station every thirty li, raising the administrative efficiency of Great Tang to the highest level!

This indeed was a major undertaking.

For a dynasty that had just recently unified the realm, implementing such a large-scale project was not considered very prudent.

Especially with the example of Yang Guang from the past still lingering.

Now, in the Great Tang court, Yang Guang had become a typical lesson, with many ministers referencing him in their advice.

In a few short years, advising had become the trend in the Great Tang court.

But this was Great Tang!

And it was the Great Tang founded on the Gu Clan!

From the time of Gu Kang, the productivity of Kyushu had already far surpassed the original history and continued to develop over time.

The recovery effect of present-day Kyushu was the best example!

Repairing post stations was not considered a very difficult task for Great Tang.

In the face of the ministers’ advice.

Li Shimin seriously told the ministers, "Do not look at Great Tang with the eyes of the previous dynasty; they are going to create an unprecedented golden age!"

By now, this had become a fact recognized by everyone.

Li Shimin’s ability and courage were too strong.

And he was also skilled at accepting advice.

How could this character of an Emperor not create a golden age?

For the ministers, being born in this era was definitely considered a blessing for them!

...

Hetaoting.

The dusk was as red as blood, with the setting sun setting the clouds ablaze.

Three hundred warhorses lined up in a phalanx, their iron hooves crushing the gravel on the wasteland, raising billowing clouds of dust.

The warriors on horseback were clad in Profound Armor, their waist-hooked sabers gleaming with cold light in the twilight, the wolf-head totem on their chests rising and falling with their heavy breathing, as if ready to break through the armor at any moment.

"Kill!"

With a resounding horn blast, the front-row cavalry simultaneously drew their sabers, the blades slicing through the air with a piercing shriek.

In an instant, the entire plain was shaken by this synchronized movement.

The scimitars sliced through the air, tracing sharp arcs aimed at the scarecrow targets ahead.

In a flash—the straw on the scarecrows was shredded by the blade’s edge, swirling into the sky.

The middle army’s drums suddenly pounded, the thunderous beat echoing like thunder, the infantry phalanx responding to the sound, raising their spears like a forest, the tips pointing to the sky.

They advanced in sync with the drumbeat, their steps shaking the earth with each stride.

"Kill!!!"

"Kill!!!"

"Kill!!!"

The shouts of killing erupted from the chests of over a thousand soldiers, their roars like a tidal wave, scaring away distant birds in a frenzied flight, and even the eagles circling high above dove down, unwilling to linger in this suffocating airspace.
