Since crossing over and knowing that he is in the Tianbao year, Wang Yuan has made up in his mind countless times the upcoming rebellion that made the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline. Many of Wang Yuan's actions were also made in light of the fact that he was at this stage before the chaos came. But Wang Yuan always held on to a hope, he preferred to believe that the era he lived in was a dream, a false history, not the Tang Dynasty recorded in the history books of later generations.
If this is a branch of history, or a false parallel history, then what is about to happen may not happen. Or rather, there is some kind of force that can twist and turn it. Wang Yuan hopes that the wheel of history can deviate slightly, because because he is a person who is not in this history, if history remains unchanged, it is a ridiculous paradox. Wang Yuan thought more than once that maybe because of his arrival, some things that would come would not happen, and indeed Wang Yuan had also made some changes.
For example, killing Mrs. Qiuguo, killing Wang Ji and killing Luo Xi, killing Jiwen, these people's deaths are all related to themselves, and in real history, they should be alive and well at this moment. Wang Yuan felt like a catfish thrown into a pond by the hands of the underworld, and his appearance should logically change many events. But now, Wang Yuan feels that he was wrong.
History has not turned to the other side because of its own arrival, and it may even accelerate into the chaos that it had to face because of its own appearance. The series of transactions triggered by the 20,000 soldiers just made the scene that Wang Yuan least wanted to see. An Lushan got Hedong Dao, which added another heavy weight to An Lushan's rebellion, and all this was actually because his Jiannan Dao increased his number of troops by 20,000.
Hedong Province has 55,000 soldiers and horses, and with these 55,000 soldiers and horses, An Lushan has nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses. It has jurisdiction over two provinces, Hedong and Hebei, which have a huge area and borders Gyeonggi. By this time, the conditions for An Lushan's rebellion were almost ripe, and they had almost become unstoppable. Because no matter in terms of troops and geography, An Lushan already has enough strength to carry out the biggest adventure in his life.
Wang Yuan was very frustrated, in Wang Yuan's original thoughts, it would be a great thing if he could prevent this rebellion from happening, the Tang Empire was the most glorious dynasty in Chinese civilization, and in his heart Wang Yuan did not want this huge empire to be destroyed in a rebellion, and did not want the people to be displaced in this rebellion. Who doesn't want to sing and dance to live a life of a beautiful wife and concubine? Wang Yuan's efforts are just to let himself live freely and have a better life. It is better to be a peaceful dog than a troubled world, rebellion will make people's lives like mustard, and all good things will come to naught, which is not what Wang Yuan wants.
However, until this moment, Wang Yuan suddenly fully woke up. What should come is still coming, no one can stop it, and no one can change it. I am in the real history, although I set off a few small waves, but this is not enough to change the pace of the torrent of history rolling forward, on the contrary, it has played a role in fueling the waves, perhaps making this rebellion come early.
Wang Yuan smiled bitterly speechlessly, from another point of view, Yang Guozhong was actually not wrong, because he didn't know what was about to happen. Standing in Yang Guozhong's position, it is natural to think that Wang Zhongji is the prince's person, and Hedongdao was originally the prince's, and now, Hedongdao has been given to An Lushan. It's like making a deal in the hands of two other people about something that doesn't belong to you, and it has nothing to do with you. In any case, the position of the envoy of the Hedong Province will not fall into Yang Guozhong's pocket, and Yang Guozhong certainly will not care which of them is the envoy of the Hedong Province. And Yang Guozhong obtained 20,000 soldiers from this transaction that had nothing to do with him for no reason, why not? This is also the reason why Yang Guo is complacent in his faithfulness.
But if Yang Guozhong, like Wang Yuan, knew that the host would become a bargaining chip for An Lushan to accelerate the rebellion, I am afraid he would not be able to cry. It's a pity that Yang Guozhong can't know, and no one can know, except for Wang Yuan.
In any case, for Wang Yuan, one can only hope that this inevitable rebellion will come later, because Wang Yuan is not ready. The good news is that Wang Yuan still got the benefits after all, and with 20,000 more soldiers and horses under his command, the weight will be a little heavier, and what Wang Yuan has to do is to seize the time and make the weight heavier and heavier until he can survive the disaster. The geographical location of Jiannan Province is also very good, even if An Lushan starts to rebel in the short term, it will still take a long time to affect Jiannan Province, because after all, one east and one west are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. Qinling Bashan lies in the east, which is also a heavy barrier, which makes Wang Yuan feel a little comforted in his heart.
……
Wang Yuan has a lot of things to do, which are messy and clueless, but Wang Yuan understands that some things cannot be rushed, things are done one by one, and the meal must be eaten in one bite, everything needs to be planned and carried out step by step, and it must not be messed up because of panic. What needs to be done at the moment needs to be sequenced. Recruit new recruits to reach the full quota, strengthen the training of soldiers and horses, weapons and equipment need to be optimized, and the combination of troops needs to be optimized, etc.
**The development of the formula should also be carried out as soon as possible. Wang Yuan needs to have his own killer weapon, as a person who travels through, Wang Yuan can't waste all kinds of technologies that he knows to greatly increase his strength. The ten alchemists were to immediately use their talents and get them to plunge into their studies. If this thing can be successfully developed, it will be his trump card, and it will make Wang Yuan feel much more at ease.
All these things were urgent, but Wang Yuan had to complete another thing first, that is, to go to Nanzhao to announce the decree. The imperial court gave Wang Yuan the identity of Xuanzhi Qincha, and went to Nanzhao to inform Ge Luofeng that the imperial court had signed a peace treaty, and Xuange Luofeng went to Beijing to be entitled. This is what Wang Yuan wants to do immediately. As for the recruitment and training of the alchemists, refining and other affairs, they can only be handed over to the people around them.
Fortunately, there are still available people around Wang Yuan, Liu Dehai has accumulated some experience in recruitment, and the recruitment matter will be handed over to Liu Dehai. As for the training of soldiers, Song Jiangong and Liu Jun and others were to do it, and as for the various needs of the alchemists for refining formulas, they could only rely on Liu Xunzhi to help them solve them.
After simply arranging the affairs of Chengdu, on the first day of the sixth month, Wang Yuan took his personal guards and horses to embark on the road to the south, and went to Nanzhao for the second time to proclaim the decree.
It is already summer, the weather is extremely hot, the land of Jiannan contains various terrains such as deserts, Gobi, mountains, dense forests, etc., although the terrain is varied, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the hot weather after entering the summer. Wang Yuan and his entourage traveled south from Chengdu, braved the scorching heat and scorching sun to travel hundreds of miles every day, and arrived in Yaozhou five days later.
Although the weather was hot and hot, Wang Yuan saw a peaceful scene along the way, which was very different from the situation when he first came a few months ago, when everyone was in danger.
Li Mi, who was still in Yaozhou, learned that Wang Yuan came out of the city to greet him, and since Wang Yuan was promoted to the envoy of Jiedu, Li Mi was promoted to the post of governor of Nanchuan and Sima of the Jiannan Army, this was the first time that the two met and congratulated each other. Li Mi's gratitude is beyond words, Wang Yuan can be regarded as his nobleman, if it weren't for Wang Dashuai and arriving in Jiannan like a timely rain, the original Netzhou would probably be captured by the Tubo people and Nanzhao soldiers and horses. With his temper, he will definitely die with the city, to some extent, Wang Yuan can be regarded as his savior, not to mention that Wang Yuan recommended himself to be the governor of Nanchuan and the position of marching Sima.
That night, Li Mi set up a banquet for Wang Yuan to catch the wind and wash the dust, and when he learned that Wang Yuan was here to go to Nanzhao to announce the decree, Li Mi was very happy.
"I have been waiting for the imperial court to hurry up to Nanzhao to announce the decree, and I have already made plans for the establishment of several detention states in the peace conference, but unfortunately it cannot be implemented. Well, now I'm finally able to do things. ”
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "You, the governor of Nanchuan, can finally live up to your name, and the establishment of the Detention Prefecture in Nongdong City and the establishment of the Detention Prefecture in the reconstruction of Anding City will be handed over to you." But I hope you don't follow the old path of Zhang Qiantuo. As for the Nanzhao Kingdom, my personal opinion is that we should live in peace and respect each other, and we need peace in the south, so that we can concentrate on dealing with the Tibetans. ”
Li Mi nodded and said, "Remember the teachings of the big handsome, in fact, this is also my idea." There's one thing I don't know whether to ask or not. ”
Wang Yuan smiled: "I have to leave tomorrow, otherwise you won't have a chance." ”
Li Mi said: "The words of the lowly position may be a little sensitive, and the lowly position wants to ask about the attack on Wang Shangshu and Luo Yushi." How could they be stupid enough to run to Bison City. There is also the matter of the attack on the handsome. Everywhere it is said that it is the assassin of Nanzhao who assassinated the marshal, but I don't know if this is really the case. ”
Wang Yuan laughed and said, "General Li, I can't give you an answer to what you want to know, if you have to have an answer, I will give you an answer." ”
"I don't know what the answer is." Li Mi said with a smile.
Wang Yuan spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders and said, "My answer is: God knows." ”
