Chapter 142: Determination (4)
More than 40 people, who were beaten by the black tooth Changzhi, were invited from their respective territories to Shanzhou City, and were taken outside the city.
After walking more than 20 miles, there is a valley in the distance, the terrain of the valley is slightly fierce, on both sides are large mountains and steep mountains, and there is a small stream trickling out in the middle. At this time, the creek is all frozen, and there is a vast white space in all directions, only the pines and cypresses are quite straight, and in the thick snow, a little green blue is revealed, indicating that there is still life in the earth.
Approached the valley and looked more closely. Along both sides of the creek there is a flat terrain several hundred meters wide, and at the end is a farmstead, like other farms in Qinghai, with thick mud walls and thick wheat straw and white grass on the roof. However, a few people immediately noticed the difference, not a single citizen of the farm was moving, on the contrary, there were many guards with swords and bows patrolling, watching warily. []
"........ this?" The king of Shule asked the black tooth Tsuneyuki suspiciously.
More than forty people are from the largest force in the Western Regions. For example, the ten surnames, the Yue and other departments, and then the Shiguo, Cao, He and other large countries in the river, or the Tocharian Ye Hu, and then the Qiuzi, Shule, Khotan and other large countries in the Western Regions, they are all their own kings, or can represent the country's uncle, brother, eldest son, or the chief of a department.
The emperor's life and death are unknown, and at very moments, seeing the terrain here, he feels very uneasy.
The black tooth Changzhi laughed and said; "Ladies and gentlemen, I asked you to leave your guards behind and come here alone in order to bring you great news."
"What's the good news?"
"I'll know right away, please."
Brought into a spacious peasant family, and a person sat in the living room.
Seeing this person, most of them had met, and suddenly they knelt down in surprise, beat their chests one by one, and said loudly; "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Some wept silently.
Li Wei smiled, Hu Ren is simple, many actions seem to be simple in the eyes of the Central Plains people, Dao; "Guys, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, why is this so?"
With tears in his eyes, Yu Chi Fuxiong sobbed; "Your Majesty, rumors from outside... …·· For more than a year, where has Your Majesty been? ”
"Rumors out there? How can you believe the rumors, is it General Heizhi, or Wang Duhu, or Li Duhu? ,,
"This ·····
"I have been in Qinghai, commanding in the center. Do you have to go to war to be normal? ”
"yes, but ······" This turn, Fushio was also confused.
"Leave it alone, I have called you to come, there is an important matter to discuss. I have been delayed for too long for the war in the West, and I have not been seen to return in China, and many things have happened that I must go back, but before I return to Beijing, I must suppress the rebellion of Gululu. I need your help. ”
Li Wei's life and death are unknown, and all the ministries and countries are a little confused, but Li Wei is alive, and he has confidence in his heart, and he pats his chest one by one and says.
"But the Tocharian forces could not move, and there was pressure from the Great Eclipse in the west, and the Persians could not raise the banner of resistance alone. There is also Tibet in the southeast, and the ambition has not stopped. There are also southern Tianshan Mountains, especially Khotan, Shule and other departments, which cannot be moved. ”
"Your Majesty, we can draw some troops." King Shule said.
"I also called you to come, and I specifically said one thing, you have all heard the story of Tuyuhun Achai chopsticks in the past, right? You must be united, and you must not have selfish motives, for once the army is gone, and your departments have selfish motives, and the enemy will take advantage of the opportunity. You must understand that all ministries are prosperous and disgraced. Whether you can create a peaceful environment for the Western Regions and Lingxi, where the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the army at the front is safe and worry-free, it is all up to you. I will also leave some officials behind and follow their commands. ”
"Well," a dozen of them replied reluctantly. It's good to fight with Your Majesty, the rewards are fair, and there is a guarantee of victory. I have forsaken it, and my heart is not happy.
But this is a strategic necessity, and we have no choice but to do so.
Li Wei then turned to the others and said; "Something unpleasant happened in the winter of the previous year, I thought that the Tibetans would invade the north, but I didn't expect that Gululu would invade, let alone that Gelulu and Chebishi would riot. It was my negligence, and I am here to apologize to you. ”
"Your Majesty doesn't dare." Dozens of people hurriedly fell to the ground.
Although that negligence once caused the situation in the Western Regions to be very tense, it was finally expelled. Later, the Tang Dynasty, no, it was the emperor who did a good job, not only gave a lot of compensation, but also rewarded them with all the property, population, cattle and sheep obtained by the expropriation of Chebi Shi and Gelulu. When he went to the south to conquer Tehran and Baluchistan, Makran, and Sindh, he gave some rewards to the ministries one after another.
Including the Transoxiana and Tocharian regions, they did not get much gold and silver, and they also received other material distributions, even if they were heavier, but they were also a lot of wealth.
Now that the Heavenly Khan is alive and well in the world, it also means that there will be no major shift in the policies of the Tang Dynasty. What else is there to complain about?
"I will tell you about the expedition, and I plan to draw troops from the river and the northern part of the Tianshan Mountains. However, because of the loss, I plan to subsidize it again, and I will reward ten taels of money for each strong man. ”
A very healthy slave is only a dozen taels of money in the Western Regions, and this generous subsidy makes everyone very moved.
"You have to do what you can, you have to leave some labor behind to graze or farm, and to guard your homes. In addition, I require my concubine to be a strong man with excellent physical health and physical strength, and not everyone can be a soldier. ”
"Whoa." This is a good emperor, how considerate he is.
Looking at the eagerness in the eyes of these people, Li Wei had a headache. Doing so allowed him to concentrate the greatest forces of the various tribes in the shortest possible time, and also played a strategy of uniting the majority and isolating the Eastern Turks from the few Tiele tribes. However, once these tribes develop the concept of a mercenary, if they want to mobilize their troops in the future, and the court does not come up with money, it is very likely that they will grind foreign workers.
However, in order to deter, Li Wei couldn't control so much. And he said; "As for the distribution of materials after the war, it will be distributed according to last year's strategy. However, since the southern part of the Tianshan Mountains and Tocharian are guarding your rear, I will draw a batch of supplies and booty from them and reward them with each other, do you have any opinions? ”
"No," they all shook their heads. This is the benefit of fair distribution, and I believe very much in Li Wei's distribution and various departments.
"But your various armies are messy, and when the time comes, you will have to accept the command of Wang Fangyi, Li Jinxing, and General Qiming, and this time I have a rich reward, which is from the property of the big cannibals, or the big food lackeys, and you and your clans also have merit, so the rewards are rich, and they are exceptional, you know?"
The crowd nodded again.
Li Wei waved his hand, and the guard brought two things. One is two seals, one is a map of the current territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is a giant dragon holding a large Tang character. There is also a silk handkerchief with a pattern on it that is a mixture of two seal patterns.
Road;
"This expedition is not only my army, your army, but I also sent someone to contact the Hui people some time ago, and there will be Tiele tribes to participate. They are all far northeast and unfamiliar to you. Not only that, but some Tiele tribes have always been anti-against our Tang Dynasty, and this time I want to solve them in one fell swoop. In order for you to be able to screen out and go to the battlefield at that time, unless there are special circumstances, you usually use a seal to cover your face with a pattern, and tie this square handkerchief on your left arm. Regardless of whether the other party is a soldier or a civilian, if these two things appear, they cannot be harmed, their property cannot be taken, and there can be no conflict. ,,
Simplicity is the cute side, savage is the hateful side. Once you kill the red eye, grab the red eye, anything can happen. Do a precaution in advance.
"Whoa."
"Okay, time is pressing, I expect the Lingxi army to withdraw too, you should hurry up and prepare when you go back. Also, my news is about whether or not this battle will be successful, and if you leak my news, not only you, but also your clan, will eventually be included in the list of tribes that I will never welcome. ”
This sentence is murderous.
The crowd was shocked and said again; "Whoa."
With the departure, but the face is still very happy. A boulder pressed against my heart for a long time, and finally let go.
Hei Fang Changzhi and the others left, handing over a thick stack of information.
Li Wei opened it and flipped through it, and there was a piece of information that caught his attention: the Avars had come up with a small number of reinforcements in exchange for Byzantine friendship. It's not that this support force has much strength, Byzantium at this time also needs a stable rear, and it doesn't want the barbarians to make trouble behind the back and cause a fire in the backyard.
Then the Avars took the opportunity to silently expand eastward.
One after another, many small tribes were conquered by the Avars.
But if you want to be God's whip, you have to support them secretly, and you have to wait for many years, maybe five years, maybe ten years. But Li Wei can afford to wait. Asked; "General Blacktooth, what will happen if I include Princess Frank in the harem?"
"Your Majesty, something is wrong." Although she was mentally prepared, otherwise Pei Xingjian would not have let Jing Ze send her to Qinghai, and then sent her to Broken Leaf City, the big thing settled down, and she was taken from Broken Leaf City to Qinghai again, but Hei Tooth Changzhi replied truthfully.
The real reason Li Wei couldn't say, and he was not convincing, so he had to say; "General Blacktooth, look at this information."
Hei Tooth Changzhi looked at it, but didn't see it.
"In the First World War in the West, in fact, our Tang Dynasty was a supporting role, and the real protagonists were Da Shi and Da Qin. They are enemies of life and death, and with the Pope involved, this battle will be fought for a long time. In the end, no matter which side it is, both sides will lose, and the participating countries will also have a poor livelihood and a weak national strength. If the Avars become stronger, our court will not have to send many soldiers, as long as we send some generals to guide and support some weapons. The minister of the Frankish kingdom murdered Xiang Dai's father, and if I accepted Xiang Dai, I could use the banner of revenge for Xiang Dai, and at that time, the glory of our Tang Dynasty may be spread in the far west. ”
"····· this?" Black Tooth often opens its mouth wide. Even Khorasan wanted to rule, because it was far away, it was very difficult. Besides, the Frank who didn't know how many miles away.
"Anyway, you don't need many soldiers, so why not?"
"If Your Majesty wants to accept it, accept it early. Take advantage of the fact that the court is full of spineless people, otherwise in a few years, there will inevitably be many opposing voices, and His Majesty will have to make a guideline at that time. The minister has also become spineless," Hei Tooth Changzhi said with a sad face.
It's not a party member, it's a Frank, look at her golden hair, that pair of big waves, and that pair of big blue eyes, put in the harem, how weird it is.
Li Wei was amused by the black tooth Changzhi and said; "I believe me, it's not that I don't know the difficulty, it's just that this intention is very long-term, so I know the difficulty and do it."
In the evening, Shandai secretly brought it over.
Seeing Li Wei, he said in surprise; "Your Majesty..........."
"Sit."
Sit down, full of doubts. The mouth opened again.
"You don't have to ask anything, there are things you still don't know. But I called you to come because I wanted to say something. I can avenge you, and I may bring Pepin's head to your father's honor. But there are two prerequisites, the first is that I must be famous, so I will include you in my harem. Second, once you raise an army, it will inevitably harm your country.
If you agree, I promise you. ”
