Chapter 410: People come and go

But he never dreamed that Zhang Xiaobao wanted his seal to command this little person on the ship at all.

The letter was first sent to the capital, and in the capital they found the letter that Ke Tu Yu had written to the imperial court, gathered all the letters, and then found someone to copy it according to Ke Tu Yu's handwriting, and mobilized other soldiers from the Song Mo Governor's Mansion.

The generals sent by the other governors who could speak also had false messages to send back the troops, and these soldiers would be scattered and sent to all parts of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Xun of Shuzhou was divided into 10,000 soldiers from the Songmo Governor's Mansion and 5,000 soldiers from the Bohai Governor's Mansion, and he sent 20,000 Shuzhou, each with 10,000 to two Governor's Mansions to station.

Among them, a series of means such as bribery, suppression, co-optation, and assassination were used, and it can be said that there was no major chaos, and there was constant small chaos.

The generals sent to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan this time are able to fight well, just to learn Wang Juan's skills, and at the same time, as a powerful existence, Wang Juan and the two dare not move.

There were not many people in each prefecture, and they were given 160,000 people in the early stage of Jili Prefecture, and then 40,000 real soldiers were sent away.

Those who strongly opposed it either fell ill and died suddenly, or they accidentally put their heads on a piece of wood or a tile that had accidentally fallen from a height while walking.

There are also some people who suddenly become rich in their homes, and the things they use are the same as those in the families of the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and these people tend to let the Tang Dynasty carry out the exchange of troops, and in the name of sending troops into the Tang Dynasty, they can know the livelihood of the Tang people, lead the Tang soldiers into the country, and know the combat strength of the Tang army.

The combat power has been seen, and the specific combat ability is not clear, but the weapons and armor used are not a little stronger than the various governors, especially the soldiers from Shuzhou, who are as strict as an arm, and Li Xun actually went to the Songmo Governor's Mansion in person to sit down.

The remaining part of the people did not oppose the transfer of troops back and forth, nor did they agree, some said that they were sick and went home to rest, and some of them seemed to be in a dream all day long, as if they were helpless, and they also seemed to wait for the day when the elite soldiers sent out would come back.

These things can be suddenly unknown to the generals, the news cannot be transmitted, one is the fleet is fast, the land route is difficult, and the other is all important checkpoints on the land route, which has been guarded by the army, and all non-Tang fast horses are stopped, especially in the river.

When Ke Tuyu's health was completely healed, and the fleet was only a few days away from going ashore and heading to the desert, and he regained his military power, the governor's mansions on the Hebei side of the province were basically settled.

Letter after letter was sent between the capital and Jili Prefecture, and when the sovereign of the Bohai Governor's Office, Dawuyi, sent a letter saying that the Governor's Office was willing to send taxes from the five capitals and sixty-two prefectures this autumn, Li Longji was almost suspicious of being in a dream.

"How so?" Li Longji shook his head vigorously, confirmed what was said in the letter again, and said as if talking to himself.

"Your Majesty, it's the height of summer now, and the two of them promised Your Majesty to let the Bohai Governor's Mansion pay taxes this year." Colliers explained.

"I know that the two of them have said it, but what I want to know more is not what the two of them said, but why the Bohai Governor's Mansion is willing to pay it, is it just because the two of them said it is the reason? Could it be that the two of them said that I can fly in the sky tomorrow, and I will ...... tomorrow Oh, I've flown once.

Not to mention whether to fly or not, just what kind of means did the two of them use? It will not be just because Xun has sent 10,000 soldiers to the Bohai Governor's Mansion that the great martial arts will be afraid, there are hundreds of thousands of people over there, less than 5,000 and more than 10,000 of our soldiers, and also have the power of a battle, and the great martial arts have always wanted to get rid of my Datang. ”

Li Longji's mouth spoke smoothly, but his eyes were full of confusion, how could it be so difficult, in the hands of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, it was like a game, it was the Bohai Governor's Mansion, far away from Jili Prefecture, even if the Tang Dynasty wanted to fight, it was beyond the reach of the whip, it would not be moved by seeing the portraits of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

The two children are good-looking, and there are portraits of the two of them from childhood to adulthood on the wall here, but this is definitely not a reason.

Gao Lishi listened to the emperor's words, and had a kind of *** that wanted to laugh, and tried his best to suppress it, and then explained: "Your Majesty, naturally it's not what Xiaobao and Juan Juan say, but the two of them will do what they say, some time ago, they sent gunboats from Luzhou, a total of twenty, to Bohai Bay to fight pirates."

More than 1,100 pirate ships were killed, countless pirates were killed, and a large amount of silk was given to Bohai to collect the people injured by pirates, and the Bohai Governor's Mansion did not just send out 5,000 people, but 15,000 people, and 10,000 people followed Xiaobao and Juan Juan to protect the desert on the other side of Jinchuan.

Your Majesty thinks like this, the great martial arts of the Bohai Governor's Mansion are less than 15,000 people, although the 5,000 people that were reduced later were too sudden for him, and they were transferred away without his orders, but after all, there are fewer troops, how many troops can hundreds of thousands of people have?

Their navy and the number of pirate ships were almost impossible to defeat the pirates, Xiaobao and Juan Juan sent gunboats to help him, and the minister estimated that the great martial arts were moved by the selfless help of my heavenly soldiers, and His Majesty was blessed with grace. ”

"Huh? Twenty gunboats were sent to defeat all the sailors of the Bohai Governor's Mansion? No, wipe out all the pirates? I also sent a lot of silk, which should have been collected by the nearby state capital, right? Why don't I know? ”

Li Longji finally understood, no wonder the great martial arts who wanted to compete with the Tang Dynasty suddenly became easy to speak, took the initiative to ask for rent and taxes, and no longer continued to think about establishing a permanent trade between the two countries with the Tang Dynasty.

Gao Lishi knew that the emperor was unhappy, and the main problem was not whether the emperor knew the situation over there or not, but that the originally difficult things became simple in the hands of Xiaobao and Juanjuan, which was a bit shocking.

Then he hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that Xiaobao and the others should be fully responsible for the affairs of the northern part of Hebei Province, and there is no need to report more, and only send a letter when the imperial court sends troops, so Your Majesty does not know, and the minister only knew about it the day before yesterday, and I am afraid that the great martial arts will not come to Beijing in the book, so I did not tell Your Majesty directly."

Your Majesty, it seems simple there, but in fact, Xiaobao and Juan Juan mobilized nearly half of the money of the Zhang Wang family for this matter, bribed, co-opted, and distributed it with the commoners, and the letter once told the minister that since he arrived in Jili Prefecture, he only slept for four hours a day at most.

I also discussed with the minister, and when the northern part of Hebei Province was settled, let the minister help ask for more benefits in front of His Majesty, and this time I lost a lot, and the minister didn't know whether to open his mouth. ”

"Oh, it's also bitter for the two of them, and you want to get benefits from me? They occupy a large area in the northern part of Hebei Province, can't they make up for the losses? ”

Li Longji was balanced in his heart, and considering Zhang Xiaobao's ability to make money, he didn't think that he would not be able to get his capital back.

"Your Majesty means to let the two of them occupy the entire northern part of Hebei Province? There is a difficult land route to Henan Road, and the two of them have naval gunboats, and the whole area is dense with mountains and forests.

The strong seedling protection team of the two families of Zhang Wang can be said to be elusive in the mountains and forests, even the king of Tong'an County, Li Xun, who studied with him, also has a thousand troops specially suitable for jungle warfare, and His Majesty is really ready to let Xiaobao and the two of them gain a foothold in the northern part of Hebei Province? ”

Gao Lishi saw that the emperor was a little confused, so he had to analyze the matter, so that the emperor was sober and sober, and not to be carried away by happy things.

Li Longji was stunned, "Uh~? Yes, what Lux said is, but it can be trusted but must be guarded against, so what does the little Baojuan plan? Do you want to occupy that side? ”

"Back to His Majesty's words, Xiaobao is considering that he can't stay in the northern part of Hebei Province, so he wants to get benefits from other places, and said that in the future, it will be divided into dozens of state capitals, and those who have a family background and filial piety will not be sent, those who do not love the people like sons will not be sent, and those who have not served as courtiers and civil affairs will not be sent.

Even if it is sent, it is changed every three years, leaving his family in the capital, one by one, the civil minister, only the civil, the deputy general, only the matter of protection, the three years of the Wenchen, two years later, send the Wenchen to study, familiar with the situation, wait for the predecessor to leave, the successor directly takes office.

The same is true for military generals, but those who go to study a year in advance cannot have the right, so they are not afraid of rebellion, and the naval army is managed by others, and all generals and ministers need to build roads first after taking office. ”

Gao Lishi took out a piece of paper from his arms and read it to Li Longji according to the words written on it.

Li Longji nodded when he heard this, and suddenly asked again: "If there is a war at that time, and you are only familiar with it for a year, you will not be able to fully know what the soldiers should do?" ”

"Retreat, if you can't fight, you'll come back, and the imperial court will send elite soldiers to fight, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about someone fighting there, whether it's Turkic or Silla, as long as you attack, the capital can send troops to attack on both sides, not to mention that Xiaobao and Juan Juan don't seem to want to let the Turks and Silla be as free as they are now, but they didn't free up their hands, Your Majesty, he is still young."

Gao Lishi slightly penetrated *** The thing that his godson vaguely mentioned was that he received a map, which didn't look like the current map of Datang, it was much bigger than the current one, although it was written on the four words of Datang map.

Li Longji finally recovered from the emotions in the letter from the Bohai Governor's Mansion, and when he became smarter, he immediately heard the meaning of Gao Lishi's words: "The two of them still want to fight?" It's always going to be called around, and it's going to die...... It seems that there are not many people who die, and the party that dies a lot is someone else, what benefits can the two of them mention? ”

"I didn't say it, Ruo Xiaobao said it...... Your Majesty...... You must ...... "Colliers still didn't finish his sentence."

Li Longji understood, if Xiaobao mentioned the benefits at this time, he should find another way to stop him, and he definitely couldn't let him achieve his goal easily, so he didn't believe that he would lose every time.

"Lux, take the time to write to the two of them, and say what I said, if the two of them don't want other benefits, I will exempt his family from taxes for three years, and if you don't want to be exempt from taxes, each according to his ability."

Li Long basically wanted to directly say that each depends on his ability, think about it carefully, if that is the case, Xiaobao and Juan Juan will be unfair, but people have cleaned up such a big place, in case they win them this time, they should really lose, and if they don't play after getting angry, they will have less fun, although their hope of winning is not so great.

"Obey." What else could Gao Lishi say, so he had to agree, he couldn't figure out how the emperor had such idleness, he was usually very good, but when he met Xiaobao and Juanjuan, he had to be like a child.

At this time, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also got the news from Shui Yun, there was a small chaos in the northern part of Hebei Province, and the great martial arts of the Bohai Governor's Mansion were tossed and subdued, no matter whether he was in real service or fake service, as long as he recognized his status once, if he didn't want to do it in the future, he would have an excuse to beat him hard, is the relationship of sovereignty recognized casually?

"Xiaobao, you can send a letter to Chide Zuzan in Tubo, and ask him to send troops to help fight more food, I don't even ask him if he supports more food behind his back, see if he sends troops or not."

Wang Juan saw that the matter in Jili Prefecture was almost resolved, and began to make another move against Tubo.

Zhang Xiaobao wrote a letter, asking Chide Zuzan to send troops to exterminate the robbers and cannibals, and the news came that the desert there continued to increase the number of cannibals, and the original more than 100 people left have now become 2,000 people, and the weapons are stronger than the previous 500 people.

Each man was given a horse, and instead of continuing to attack the Suosuo tree, he camped and confronted each other, and it seemed that a big move was about to be brewed, and it was still impossible to guess which one of the Turks or the Tibetans was behind it.

If you want to say support, it is possible in both places, and the supply of 2,000 people has always been exchanged for other things by the people sent by the cannibals, and it is not clear whether it is exchanged for the same money with something worth a penny.

If you can get the news of the exchange, who will exchange with many cannibals like that, who will be the person behind the support, then you can't fight it, you can't get used to it, what about more than 40,000 people, how to train troops without consuming points?

After the letter was written, people were sent to Tibet as quickly as possible, and Zhang Xiaobao brought the generals who were going to be brought over to discuss the matters that were going to be engaged.

"That's the way it is, let's see if the Tubo faction is sent or not, and then it may fight with the Turks, or it may fight with the Tubo, you should prepare early."

Zhang Xiaobao said something about writing a letter to Tubo Chide Zuzan, even if it was a pre-war general mobilization.

Some generals only know how to fight, react slowly, don't understand the meaning behind it, and promise to leave to find their team, while others show an ordinary look on their faces, but their hearts are turbulent.

But suddenly it was one of them, out of the cabin where Zhang Xiaobao was having a meeting, and he didn't go to look for his own team, but went back to his cabin and began to think about things.

"General, do you really want to help Zhang Xiaobao and them fight? If it's okay to only fight Tibet, and fight the Turks, our Songmo Prefecture will be easily retaliated against by the Turks, and it will be next to each other. ”

The staff who also came back asked Ke suddenly worriedly.

"Fight, no matter who you fight, you must fight, if you don't fight the Turks, Zhang Xiaobao will beat us, they are driving ducks to the shelves, and the cows don't drink water and press their heads."

But he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately expressed his attitude.

"General, do they dare?" The staff still did not want to play against the Turks.

"What would they not dare? This time he wrote a letter to Tubo and asked Tubo to send troops, which is simple to say, but in fact, it is not like that at all.

If Tubo sends troops, it will offend Duoshi, and he is afraid that Tubo will support Duoshi behind his back, and then Duoshi will feel that he has been deceived, and he will retaliate against Tubo.

If Tubo does not send troops, it is even simpler, Zhang Xiaobao and the others can announce that the place on the first line of Jinchuan's weak water is not Tubo, otherwise how can they not send troops? Then the exchange of grain with Tibet will be stopped under the pretext of unilaterally destroying the friendship of Tibet, and it is summer, when Tibet is short of food.

If Tubo can't help but send troops to fight Zhang Xiaobao, it would be better, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan directly waved the army to attack Tubo, and they were not the people of the Tang Dynasty, and they would not feel distressed if they died.

Even if our people die and we don't win the battle against Tubo this time, the Tang Dynasty will send troops again, will there still be anyone in Tubo who can fight? This is what people are playing is called strategy, so they shouldn't let the two of them go to Jili Prefecture, it would be good if they didn't force Li Longji like that, and finally forced him to be anxious, hey~! ”

But suddenly regretted it in his heart, he finally saw the power of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, these two are the swords in Li Longji's hands, or the kind of one who will see blood when unsheathed.

After 40,000 people had gone ashore for a few days, and there were still two days away from the desert, Chide Zuzan of Tibet also received a letter from Zhang Xiaobao.

After watching it over and over again, the more I watched, the more sad I became.

"Who came up with the idea to dig a hole in Wangjiang County in Shuzhou? Check again, and kill those who are lucky enough to survive. ”

Chide Zuzan stayed in the palace of the princess of Jincheng, Li Nunu, and gave an order to the people who were waiting for the orders.

This order is inexplicable, why did it remind Zampu after a long time?

Princess Jincheng had never seen the letter, she was a Tang person, but she had no way to deal with the affairs of both sides, let alone how much strength she used.

Hearing Chide Zuzan's order, he approached and persuaded: "Zampu, killing the people again is afraid of chilling people's hearts." ”

"If you don't kill, it's not enough to appease the hatred in my heart, without the person who came up with the idea and did it, how could Wang Juan come and beat us, if you don't beat us, how can we let people stir up the economy of Jiannan Dao, and how can Zhang Xiaobao retaliate if you don't do that? Now they are here again, this time even more powerful than last time, 40,000 troops, to fight or not to fight? ”

Chide Zuzan couldn't find trouble with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, so he had to find fault with his own people.

Princess Jincheng's eyes rolled, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it after all.
