The specifications of this greeting are somewhat high...... It was Li Chongrun who came by himself!

Li Ran felt a little relieved and a little regretful.

This eldest brother did not stay in Luoyang to recuperate, but he ran to eat wind and sand outside the Saiwai area, and there was only one reason.

The gossip on Luoyang's side made him extremely unhappy.

Eight thousand officers and soldiers entered the pass, and what awaited them was fine wine and good roasted meat.

The fragrance made the officials and soldiers feel appetizing, and after sleeping in the grassland for so many days, they were already hungry, and Rao Li Ran had no appetite even if he brought supplies...... After all, the Turks are behind the ass, so they can't make a big BBQ in front of each other, that attracts hatred.

Wang Xiaojie was as good as a stream, allowing the soldiers to relax their guard and rest for two days.

Enough to eat and drink!

For a while, the whole pass could waft out the aroma of wine.

"Brother Ran, the Turks won't suddenly kill a horse gun."

Pei Min was eating meat while worrying.

"Why don't you go outside and watch around?"

Li Ran smiled, this proposal immediately made the Tang Sword Saint turn his back on his ears, how far away to hide.

The Turks would never dare to come...... The power of the Shenwu cannon can be used for at least a few days.

The banquet was staggered, and Li Ran sat in the guest of honor position, overlooking the wanton passion of the soldiers.

This time out of the plug is enough for them to brag for a lifetime.

Until a slight sigh came from the side.

"It happened suddenly, otherwise I would have invited you to go to the grassland with me."

Li Ran turned his head and smiled slightly at Li Chongrun beside him.

Months passed, and he was still wearing a leather mask, and he didn't seem to be going to take it off.

"With my body, it's difficult to ride a horse, and it's dragging the soldiers back when I go."

Li Chongrun replied quietly, the temperament of the whole person is completely different from before the injury, and there is a lot less sunshine and self-confidence.

This is never a good sign...... It's a pity that heart disease still needs heart medicine, Li Ran has been looking for investment projects for a long time, and there is no project to treat disfigurement.

"I'm glad you came to pick me up, give you a gift."

Li Ran turned away from the topic and pointed to the Turkic Khan in the corner of the banquet...... It's not necessary to abuse the captives or anything, the identity of the other party is there, and it is not troublesome to have an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks.

"He? You have captured people alive, and I am not greedy for merit. ”

Li Chongrun shook his head and refused, he was not used to receiving alms.

"Credit? No, I'm trying to find you something to do...... If you can't get used to staying in Luoyang, it's good to relax on the side. ”

Change the environment and change the mood, there is nothing wrong.

Besides, in Li Ran's plan, he really needs a helper with the same concept, and he originally planned to borrow Cheng Bo to use it, but Li Chongrun is here, which is even better.

"What's the matter?"

Sure enough, the eldest brother came to be interested, and it was obvious that the monotonous scenery on the grassland was boring to see.

"I signed an agreement with the Turks to pay compensation for the cession of land, which was implemented in installments, and they made it clear that they wanted to pay the bill, so we need to let them learn to behave...... For example, the first step at the moment is to receive the pastures north of Shuofang County, and if the information provided by Ashina Choyun is accurate, it is a medium-sized garrison of the Turkic royal family, about 20,000 people, and about seven or eight thousand cattle and sheep. ”

Li Ran smiled, "People, do we want it or not, the land and cattle and sheep have to be accepted." ”

"Oh! What are you going to do? Do you want the soldiers to go on another expedition? ”

Li Chongrun asked in a deep voice, a little excited.

"It depends on whether the Turks are interested or not, be prepared with both hands, if the golden seal of the Turkic Khan works, we will take over peacefully, if it doesn't work, then drive them out, after all, the land is with us, whether it is to fight or to make peace, we are all reasonable."

"Yes, this agreement is very useful, and it will be justified if we do it again, whether it is a fight or a peace, and the initiative is ours."

Li Chongrun's insight really threw out Wang Haibin's street, and immediately understood the importance of this agreement.

When there is enough force to protect it, the agreement is not a straw paper for the toilet.

"Not only that, but this agreement has a much greater use."

Li Ran suddenly lowered his voice, "Ashina Qiyun needs a reason to stabilize the main battle faction's position, and this agreement is a godsend for him." ”

"Brother Ran, if this son of wolf ambition is allowed to grow, it will definitely be a disaster in the future."

For Ashina Keyun, Li Chongrun has a very high evaluation and vigilance.

A traitor who sells the royal family so ruthlessly and does not leak mountains and rivers is definitely the object that needs to be guarded against the most.

"I know in my heart that people like him only recognize strength."

Li Ran nodded lightly, "If our strength is always stronger than him, he will be as obedient as a dog...... I need the Turks under his rule, from a certain point of view, there is a high degree of complementarity with Datang's industrial chain, we lack meat products such as cattle and sheep, as well as excellent war horses, etc., the Turks can provide it, but for us, it is not a necessity, there are alternatives, and what they are scarce, we Datang can supply it in full, this kind of unequal trade relationship, working well, directly controlling the economic lifeline of the other party, as long as ten years, they will definitely not be able to turn over the storm. ”

He believed that his eldest brother could understand his subtext.

Everything you do today is to pave the way for the future...... Taizong rebuilt the Western Regions Protectorate to bring the Western Regions into his sphere of influence, and if the Turks surrendered in the same way, Li Xian's merits should not be weaker than his grandfather Li Shimin!

“…… Okay, do as you say, I'll do my best to cooperate. ”

Sure enough, Li Chongrun readily agreed, and it could be seen that he couldn't fully understand Li Ran's thinking, but trusting this kind of thing was unconditional.

"Then, when I go back to Luoyang, I will help you ask for the name of the governor of Zhenbei and stay for three or five years."

"That's very good."

The two high-fived, and the agreement was completed.

Two days later, Li Ran's class returned to the court, and he needed to personally report on the effectiveness of Hedong Province and the follow-up ideas for dealing with the Turks, and it was difficult to fully express the meaning of the letter.

Moreover, if you don't return to Beijing for a long time, those courtiers will probably forget the fear of being dominated by him...... Impress them, a must!

Compared with the cold winter outside the plug, the wind in Luoyang has a hint of warmth.

It was much coldest and the willows on the side of the road began to sprout.

The more he arrived in Luoyang, the more Li Ran's heart looked forward to it, he hadn't seen his little wife for a few months, and he wanted to die.

"Immortal Master, the emperor wants to go out of the city in person to greet the triumphant soldiers!"

The old general Wang Xiaojie sent the good news to the palace in advance, and the high standard given by Li Xian was shocking and moving...... He is not the only one, but also a hundred civil and military officials!

"This old man, it's really hi to get a blood."

Li Ranwan smiled, the last time the emperor took the civil and military officials to welcome the return of the expeditionary soldiers, it was still a good story between Emperor Taizong Li Shimin and the god of war Li Jing, obviously, Wang Xiaojie's achievements this time are still a notch off.

However, as the first big victory of Li Xian's administration, there was nothing bad about Long's point.

What I want is a boost!
