Chapter 412: Rokutanibu's Decision (Three Changes)
"Don't keep quiet, let's talk about it, what should I do? And just got the news that the Tang people's Anxi Dadu Hufu sent 10,000 cavalry to Liangzhou. β
10,000 cavalry?
Including the army of Liangzhou, it is more than 30,000 people.
What is this for?
Du Lun's department is finished, and there are still so many troops stationed in Liangzhou, is it to attack their Liugu department?
Although they had 40,000 soldiers in the Liugu Division, they were not necessarily opponents in the face of the well-equipped 30,000 Tang Army.
Don't forget that there is also the existence of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, who knows how many troops can be dispatched?
Who said that the Tang people have declined?
Really declined, wiping out a large tribe with a population of tens of thousands, more than 10,000 and nearly 20,000 people in one night?
"Great Chief, do the Tang people want to do something to us? Why don't we go to the Retrievers for help? Someone suggested.
"Uighurs? The Uighurs are not a good thing, they think about us a lot, and they go to them for help, aren't they friends with wolves? β
Although the Uighurs of Ganzhou and the Liugu tribe are not in the same state, they are actually quite close to each other, and there is no shortage of friction.
Although the Guiyi army declined, the emaciated camels were bigger than horses, and the Ganzhou Uighurs did not dare to go to war with the Guiyi army with all their might, but they were not so taboo with the Liugu tribe.
Last year, a major war broke out between the two departments, and Rokutani lost thousands of soldiers.
"If we don't get the help of the Falcons, the Tang people are menacing again, so what should we do? Do you want to abandon the current place? Return to Kuozhou and Shanzhou?
Rather than that, it is better to be like the Tang people and be a minister, and they can still keep all the land. β
"Claim to the Tang people?"
The group looked at each other and seemed to think it was a good idea.
Presumably, the Tang people don't really want them to fight, and the Tang people are powerful, and it is not unacceptable to call the Tang people vassals, and it is not a shameful thing.
The grassland already believes in the strong, and their Liugu Department seems to be strong, but it is still a lot worse than the Tang people. For a moment, the people were a little moved, and if they surrendered in exchange for peace, they could accept it.
Their Rokutani Department originally formed an alliance because of self-preservation, and with today's Rokutanibu, it is better not to fight, or not to fight.

And it's also very good to be good friends with the Tang people, who have all kinds of novelties, such as fine wine, food, beautiful silk and porcelain, as long as you are good friends, these things can be obtained.
Compared to the Ganzhou Uighurs, their ambitions were not great, otherwise they would have already started a war with Shanzhou, Kuozhou and Liangzhou with such a strong strength.
The big leader was also a little moved, in fact, he thought about whether to surrender to the Tang people at the beginning, but he couldn't say it, otherwise his prestige would no longer be there.
But since someone brought it up first, he naturally didn't mind pushing the boat down the river.
"Since none of you object to this suggestion, then I will send someone to Liangzhou to meet the Tang people and find out their intentions, but if you submit to the Tang people, it is estimated that you will have to pay a lot of price." The Grand Leader hesitated.
"Big Chief, what the Tang people want is nothing more than war horses, which is not a problem in our tribe at all. 5,000 can't do it, it's 10,000, can you not go to war, what is this war horse. β
For war horses, Datang is naturally the more the merrier.
In fact, with the establishment of the Songzhou Governor's Office, the recovery of Longyou and the return of Lingzhou to the imperial court, the imperial court had three war horse production areas.
Although many of Longyou and Lingzhou are areas controlled by ethnic minorities, especially in Longyou, there are many fetters in Longyou, which means that the military and political chiefs are tribal leaders, but with the close trade and the strength of the imperial court, these tribes do not dare to mess around.
In the end, they will integrate into the Tang Dynasty, and even their living customs will change, and the war horses they raise will become a sharp weapon for the Datang Iron Cavalry to conquer the grassland.

"Don't have to go to court today, why did Lao Qi ask you to go to the palace again?"
With the help of the maid, Princess Changning dressed Liu Kui in an official uniform, and complained while wearing it, with her intuition, it was absolutely no good thing for Li Ye to summon Liu Kui at this time.
Liu Kui is a military general, and he is destined to get together less and leave more with Princess Changning. It was only two or three months before she came back from the conquest of Hedong, and if there was another war, it would mean that Liu Kui would leave her again.
Liu Kui didn't care that the maid was standing next to her, put her hands around Princess Changning's fragrant shoulders, and said with a smile, "Princess, there should be something important, don't worry, I am a military general, and I have been resting in the mansion for several months."
If you look at other generals, they can only reunite with their families for a month or two a year. β
Liu Kui persuaded Princess Changning to stop him, but the other party wanted to enter the palace with him.
Of course, Princess Changning is under the pretext of going to talk to the queen, and to be honest, she can enter the palace without this excuse.
When Liu Kui came to the Yanying Hall of Daming Palace, Pei Rong, the privy envoy, and Li Sizhou, the secretary of the military department, were standing in the palace.
"Minister Liu Kui, see Your Majesty!"
"Liu Juma, let's calm down, there is not so much red tape in this Yanying Palace."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Liu Kui got up, he nodded to Pei Rong and Li Sizhou, and said hello, and he was even more sure that there was something to do with military affairs, and it was very likely that he was really going to go on the expedition again.
Li Ye smiled and looked at Liu Kui apologetically, "Liu Yuma, I originally thought that you didn't rest for long when you came back, and you shouldn't be allowed to go on another expedition, I think it's more appropriate for you to go on this matter." Thinking about it, the Seventh Emperor Sister has to complain again! β
Liu Kui hurriedly bent down and saluted, and said with a look of trepidation, "Your Majesty is serious, the minister is a courtier, this is the duty of a courtier, and the princess will understand." β
"Maybe you are also curious about why I called you here, mainly because I plan to set up the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion, which is a middle Governor's Mansion, and I mean to make you the first Governor of Liangzhou."
"Your Majesty, isn't Liangzhou the territory of the Guiyi Army?"
Li Ye explained, "Zhang Huaiding, the assassin of Liangzhou, has already left Liangzhou for Shazhou with a large army, and he is going to seize his cousin's position as the envoy of the Guiyi Army. As a condition for me to support him in seizing the Guiyi Army's Jiedu envoy, Liangzhou will be placed under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.
The situation in Liangzhou was complicated, although Li Wenzhong and his men destroyed the second largest tribe in Liangzhou, the Du Nonbu, but the power of Liangzhou Tubo was very strong, and the Ganzhou Uighurs were very dishonest.
The geographical location of Liangzhou is very important, and Liangzhou cannot be allowed to be conquered by the Tibetans or Uighurs, so you need to defend Liangzhou.
Bring the Right Shence Army, don't bring the recruits, and recruit the insufficient vacancies in Liangzhou. β
In the first battle of pacifying Hedong, the losses of the Right Shence Army were not small, especially the cavalry.
Originally, according to the plan, the Right Shence Army had to rest in Guanzhong for half a year, and it would only be transferred after replenishing new soldiers.
In the current situation, it is impossible to bring new soldiers, and there is a shortage of more than 6,000 people in the Right Shence Army.
However, the people of Liangzhou are fierce, and they can not only recruit the children of the local Han people, but also the Tubo, Uighur, Dangxiang, and Wen Mo, and the addition of these people will also improve the strength of the Youshence army to a certain extent.
Moreover, the Shence Army was founded in Hexi, and now it is back in Hexi again, which can be regarded as fate and effect.
Thinking of this, Liu Kui said in a deep voice, "The minister obeys the order!" β
