The matter is really unusually thorny, whether it is the matter of the "Black Wind Thieves" suffering from Hexi, or the fact that the various ethnic groups want to establish a tribal alliance, it is not a matter that can be ignored, not to mention that the two are now mixed together, and the time will make the already complicated situation in Hexi even more chaotic, if there is a slight mistake in the disposal, Hexi's governance work that has just improved will immediately fall into the danger of collapse, even if it is as strong as Li Xian, it is also quite tricky.

It is obviously not possible to directly send troops to suppress it, you must know that the number of tribes in the southwest of Hexi is far more than that in the north, and the total number of tribes combined is as much as more than 400,000, which is more than twice as many as the tribes in the north, not to mention that at this time, due to the rush of time, Li Xian is absolutely impossible to mobilize the troops of the whole Hexi to encircle and suppress the tribes, even if the whole army can be exhausted, Li Xian does not dare to shoot easily, not that he is afraid of losing to the coalition of various tribes, in fact, with the strength of the first, it is not difficult to defeat the coalition of various tribes, But if you want to wipe out all the tribes, it is almost an impossible task, once the scattered tribes are all against it, if you want to extinguish it, you can't do it without three and five years of hard fighting and encirclement and suppression, and Li Xian obviously doesn't have so much time to toss around like this - whether it is from the strategy of the western expedition to Tibet, or in connection with the possible changes in the imperial situation, Li Xian can really let go of the time to pass through Hexi for a maximum of five years, if there is a war everywhere, then how can we talk about the construction of the military and government of the whole Hexi, Such a situation is obviously inconsistent with Li Xian's original intention of coming to Hexi.

It is not advisable to wait and see the change - Li Xian's planned construction strategy in Hexi is to first pilot the transformation of the northwest of Hexi, which is slightly less difficult, and then tempt and force the southern tribes to submit to the successful transformation of the northwest of Hexi, and at this time, the transformation of the northern tribes has only taken the first step, far from the time when the great success is completed, according to Li Xian's most optimistic estimate, the economic transformation of the tribes in the northwest of the river will not be able to see some clues until this time next year at the earliest, after all, whether it is farming or the construction of workshops and even the circulation of commerce, It takes time to accumulate, and it is not an immediate and visible thing, if you ignore the matter of the tribal alliance, and do not wait for the transformation of the northern tribes to see the benefits, the entire Hexi is afraid that it will be a mess - Li Xian is not naïve enough to think that Sun Quanfu tossed out such a thing as the tribal alliance is really thinking about the interests of the tribes in Hexi, in Li Xian's view, what he did was just to incite the tribes and the Hexi government to carry it to the end in the name of this, and then completely muddy a pond of water in Hexi. If Li Xian can't make a correct response, it is conceivable that this big alliance will become a big tumor in Hexi, and under the control of the Empress Wu, it may break out at any time, thus dragging the entire Hexi into the muddy pond.

Even if Li Xianzhi is a good person, in the face of such a thorny situation, he also has a kind of tiger eating the sky, and he can't put his mouth into a depressed feeling, thinking about it, only feeling that there may be some possibility of success, but Li Xian is a little hesitant about this, because the southern tribes that Li Xian can control are only a few small and inconspicuous small tribes, and relying on such a few small tribe leaders is obviously not capable of implementing the plan of dividing the tribal alliance, for this reason, On the one hand, they mobilized troops from all walks of life to prepare for emergencies, and on the other hand, they urgently summoned Tuoba Shanye and Murong Wenbo to Lanzhou to discuss countermeasures.

"The last general (grass people) see His Highness!"

Li Xian has a call, even if he doesn't know his intentions, Tuoba Shanye and Murong Wenbo did not dare to have the slightest slackness, even after four days of driving, from Hezhou all the way to Lanzhou City, before entering the city, even the atmosphere has not yet taken a breath, then was urgently recruited into the British Prince's Mansion, and when they entered the study, as soon as they saw Li Xian sitting on the top, the two did not dare to be rude, and they rushed forward in a hurry, and greeted them respectfully.

"You don't have to be polite, just be even."

Li Xian has always attached great importance to the great talent of Tuoba Mountains and Wilderness, but seeing that he was covered with dust, it was difficult to hide his heroic nature, and the love in his heart was a little more, so he nodded with a smile, raised his hand in vain, and commanded gently.

"Your Highness."

The two of them each thanked each other, and they all stood up straight, the difference was that Tuoba Shanye's figure stood straight, his eyes were firm and firm, while Murong Wenbo bowed slightly, although his face was still normal, but his eyes flashed with suspicion from time to time, obviously guessing in his heart what Li Xian's intention was to summon him so urgently.

"Come on, show Brother Murong a seat, and ask General Tuoba to go down and change clothes!"

The performance of the two fell in Li Xian's eyes, but Li Xian didn't say anything, just smiled and waved his hand, and commanded indifferently.

"No!"

Li Xian had already opened his mouth, and Gao Miao, who was waiting on the side, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly answered, first ordered a group of subordinates to move Jindun, and then carefully accompanied Tuoba Shanye out of the study, and went to the front yard to change into the clothes of the palace guards and rode Cao.

"Brother Murong, it's been more than a month, can everything at home be arranged?"

After Tuoba went to the mountains, Li Xian was not in a hurry to talk about business, but smiled and started a family conversation with Murong Wenbo.

"Thanks to His Royal Highness, everything is fine, the little old man is old, and he really can't take care of things, and let a few dogs handle the affairs big and small, and the little old man will secretly enjoy a blessing and spend his old age in peace."

Along the way, Murong Wenbo secretly speculated about Li Xian's intentions, and he also discussed privately with Tuoba Shanye, but he couldn't do anything, and he was inevitably a little uneasy in his heart, lest Li Xian give him some difficult and arduous missions, even if he was doing a family routine, Murong Wenbo carefully plugged any leaks in his words that might be used by Li Xian.

Spend your old age in peace? Hehe, this old man is really cautious. As soon as he heard Murong Wenbo's tone, Li Xian immediately saw through his thoughts, but he didn't take it to heart, just because Li Xian dared to invite him to come, he naturally had the certainty of making him obey orders, and he didn't need to use words to cover his tone, so he nodded with a smile and said: "It's a good thing to be able to spend your old age in peace, if you can be as leisurely as Brother Murong in the future, you should have no regrets in your life." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Your Highness is a god today, how dare the little old man be compared with His Highness, panic, panic."

The more amiable Li Xian was, the more apprehensive Murong Wenbo became, and he laughed dryly, not daring to say anything.

"Brother Murong is wrong, people, no matter how high or low, will always have the day when they go, they can have it, but it's just a cup of loess, and those who dominate like emperors are no exception, however, all living beings are one after another, what is the so-called? Not to be famous and profitable, the beneficiary, just a moment of fast, after all, it is something that cannot be taken away, squandering, it is the beginning of arrogance, lonely and not taken, only the name, but there are some calculations, I don't know what Brother Murong can know about the word 'name'? ”

Li Xian waved his hand with a smile, and talked a lot of nonsense, and at the end, he raised a philosophical speculative question, as if he was in such a hurry to invite Murong Wenbo to come, just to talk about such indispensable gossip.

"This ......, the little old man really doesn't know, and I ask His Highness for guidance."

Murong Wenbo is an old man, although he can't find out the root cause of this trip from Li Xian's words, but he doesn't ask much, he is just cautious for the camp step by step, and he refuses to take Li Xian's words easily.

"This matter will be discussed after Shanye comes, come, Brother Murong, please have tea."

Li Xian gave a question, but he didn't intend to give an answer immediately, he laughed, picked up the tea bowl, and put the topic on hold again.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Murong Wenbo is the Xianbei royal family, although it has fallen, the family still has a continuous inheritance, in the Chinese allusions to dabble in every more, can be regarded as one of the few cultural people among the tribal leaders, since he can understand the speculative meaning of "fame and fortune", he himself also has some opinions on this, I really want to hear Li Xian's explanation of the "name", by Li Xian so sold, my heart immediately itched, but Li Xian refused to say, he didn't have the courage to ask, he could only smile and pick up the tea bowl, while pretending to be tea, he secretly guessed what Li Xian's mind was.

"The last general will see His Highness!"

Li Xian said that he tasted the tea, and he really tasted the tea slowly and methodically, and he didn't say a word for a long time, which made Murong Wenbo's heart tremble, and he was in doubt, but when he heard the friction of the armor, a Tuoba Mountain in uniform had turned out of the screen, but when he saw that he walked to the hall, a neat one-knee nod, and made a military salute in a decent manner.

It was really a person who wanted clothes, Buddhist friends in gold, hurriedly washed, and changed into the armor of the Prince's Mansion officer, Tuoba Shanye was full of heroic spirit, not only Murong Wenbo was dumbfounded, but Li Xian couldn't help but applaud in his heart, but he didn't say much, just nodded approvingly, raised his hand and said, "General Tuoba please." ”

"Your Highness!"

Tuoba Shanye respectfully agreed, straightened up, walked to the side in a few steps, and stood tall, waiting for Li Xian's dispatch at any time.

"Wait for all to retreat!"

Li Xian was very satisfied with Tuoba Shanye's words and deeds, but he didn't say anything, just looked around at the people waiting in the room, waved his hand, and gave an indifferent order.

"No!"

Li Xian had an order, and the others did not dare to have the slightest slackness, so they each bowed down and went away, and only three people were left alone in the huge study......
