Li You smiled: "Why are you staying here in such a place where rabbits don't?" Let's all go back to Kabul. ”

Gasif asked, "What about those big cannibals?" ”

Li You smiled: "As expected, if our people are withdrawn, they will also leave." However, General Gasif, your men should keep more rangers in this generation to monitor the actions of the Great Cannibals. ”

Soon after, the Don army pulled out the camp and left.

Looking at the back of the Tang army in the distance, the adjutant general asked: "His Royal Highness, the Tang Dynasty people have withdrawn, what should we do?" ”

Pei Dilan said helplessly: "What else can I do?" Can't you stay here and drink the northwest wind? Withdraw your troops. ”

Soon, the Great Cannibals also left behind a large number of rangers, and the main force withdrew north.

Kabul city.

Li You and the others finally returned to Kabul, and Hamid and others greeted Li You and the others at the city gate.

Seeing Li You come back safely, Hamid's hanging heart finally fell.

In the welcoming crowd, Li You also saw Ma Zhou.

Since Ma Zhou left Chang'an, he temporarily settled his family in Luntai City and came to Kabul by himself.

Subsequently, at the Governor's Palace, Hamid hosted a banquet to entertain Li You and others.

With the threat of the Great Cannibal temporarily lifted, the next step is to begin the handover of Angolt Province.

Angolt province covers an area of 920,000 square kilometers and currently has a population of 780,000 people, with as many as 21 ethnic groups. In addition to the city of Kabul, Persia set up a total of 16 city guards equivalent to the county of the Tang Dynasty, of which 7 city guards were mainly inhabited by Persians with Pars people, and the remaining 9 city guards were autonomous city guards.

The Governor's Palace had a Persian army of 20,000 men, of which 7,000 were stationed in Kabul and the rest were stationed in 16 garrisons.

Li You, Hamid, Abu Hassan, Ma Zhou, and others studied the management system after the Tang Dynasty took over.

Abulhasan suggested that, in order to avoid unrest, the original political system should be maintained for the time being, and the strength of the garrisons of the various cities should be increased to ensure the smooth handover.

In order to ensure Hamid's interests, Li You decided to keep three city guards for Hamid in the border area with Persia controlled by Hamid in Angot Province as a rear base, which was jointly managed by Persia and the Tang Dynasty.

It was decided to allow the Persian officials, troops, and civilians currently in Angart to make their own choices for three months. They could follow Hamid into the Persian regions he controlled, or they could choose to stay there and become Tang people.

Li You decided to set up the Tang Dynasty Governor's Office in Angolt Province, with Ma Zhou as the governor, and asked Abu Hassan to remain as the deputy governor for one year to assist Ma Zhou in the handover.

Cheng Yanjin was the deputy governor, concurrently the head of the marching road of Angt Province, Li Tongshan was the deputy governor, and Xue Rengui was the chief of staff, with jurisdiction over the Flying Tiger Army, the rest of the Tang Army, Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo and other soldiers and horses.

Mi Huai is the Sima of Angolt Province and is responsible for the security of the whole province.

Then, Li You discussed with Hamid and Abu Hassan, and on April 20, a joint meeting of the city guards and chiefs of various ethnic groups in the province was convened to officially carry out the handover.

Subsequently, Li You wrote a notebook of the handover agreement he signed on behalf of the Tang Dynasty and Hamid on behalf of Persia, the list of military and political leaders in Angot Province, and the situation of the Persians and the Great Cannibals in Angot Province, and sent someone to report to Li Shimin.

Chang'an City.

On this day, Xiao Wanyu was called to the Lizheng Palace, and Empress Changsun asked her what Li You really thought.

Xiao Wanyu is not shy about it, she said that Li You hopes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be better trained, and Li You is good at dealing with foreign countries, and he is more able to do things freely.

She said that as long as His Majesty, the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can trust Li You, Li You is willing to guard the border for the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, Li You needs to take care of many things when he walks around the court, and he can't let go of his hands and feet at all, let him expand the territory, although it is difficult and dangerous, but the comfort of independence and the sense of accomplishment of winning the battlefield are difficult to experience in that comfortable nest in Chang'an.

Knowing Li You's true thoughts, Empress Changsun no longer had any scruples and agreed to the arrangement of Changsun Wuji and others.

So the eldest grandson Wuji and others blew the wind in front of Li Shimin, hoping that Li You would stay on the northwest border.

Wei Zheng was very clear about Li You's thoughts, and he also hoped that Li Chengqian could grow up normally and without interference, so he did not object to Li You managing the northwest region for the imperial court.

Fang Xuanling and Li Jing just hoped that the imperial court would be stable, and they also had a supportive attitude towards Li You's ideas.

Hou Junji is Li Chengqian's father-in-law, of course he hopes that Li Chengqian can stabilize his position, and hopes that after Li You leaves, Li Ke can also leave Chang'an.

For a time, the main figures of the imperial court were in favor of the current arrangement.

Li Shimin weighed the pros and cons and decided to adopt the opinions of everyone and appoint Li You as the king of the northwest, concurrently serving as the envoy of the grassland and the Western Regions, and handling the affairs of the northwest with full authority.

Li Youyuan's concurrently held positions in the Northwest Frontier Affairs Bureau and the People's Livelihood Research Institute are still retained. The navy is still under Li You's control.

For a time, Li You's power was extremely powerful.

Li You is very satisfied, his status is very special, not only is he powerful and autonomous, but he also does not have to worry about the entanglement of the rear. Because he has the trust and support of Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and almost all important figures in the Tang Dynasty.

As a minister, it is not in vain to do this part.

All this is because he is capable, and he has no ambition, and he manages it carefully.

Now, Li You can let go of his hands and feet and show his strength in the northwest.

Liangyi Palace, study.

"Son-in-law, see father." Li Ke saluted and said.

"Ke'er, I've read the piece you wrote, it's good, where are you going?" Li Shimin asked.

Not long ago, Li Ke wrote a recital, and he also wanted to leave Chang'an to make contributions outside. He was very smart, and when he saw that it was no longer possible to compete for the crown prince, he also decided to leave Chang'an and leave a way back for himself.

The current Li Shimin, like the sun is in the sky, the opposition forces in the court, with the suppression of the gate valve clan, basically no longer form a climate, he is now a real man of his word.

The only remaining internal friction is the competition between the princes.

Li Tai left, Li You also took the initiative to leave, and now Li Ke is also leaving, and the problems are all solved.

When all this is settled, he can let go of his hands and feet to realize his dream of being an emperor for the ages.

At present, the Tang Dynasty was internally stable, politically prosperous, economically prosperous, and had a strong military, and Li Shimin's ambitions began to swell to the fullest.

What Li You is doing so far is exactly what he expects. This is also an important reason why Li Shimin supported Li You as the king of the northwest.

Now, Li Ke is leaving, Li Shimin hopes that he can also look like Li You and go to the Quartet for him, he looks at Li Ke expectantly, hoping that he can take the initiative to ask Ying to go to the border.
