Chapter 507: Take the initiative to ask for help
Stuffed Fu Yun towards the Chinese army, and then sent a lot of information from the surprise to Li Jing, even if the work in his hand is over, it can be said with certainty that Shi Lei's first merit has not run away, after all, he has been charging at the forefront, killing the enemy the most heroically, and successfully assumed the duties of the vanguard officer, and finally captured Fu Yun alive, at least in this Northern Route Army, no one can compete with him for this first credit. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The rest of the things are all related to the future direction of Tuyuhun, and what is needed is not just to fight a war, but also to play a relatively slippery role in politics in order to deal with these things well.
This is why many people can only be generals, but can not be commanders, their requirements are still relatively large, can really be at the level of marshals, most of them must be really able to enter the general, that is to say, most of them are civil and military all-rounders, only then can we handle the relationship between the army and the DPRK internally, and deal with the balance of forces of the enemy country externally.
This war against Tuyuhun is basically over for Shi Lei, and all that remains is to hope that it will be over as soon as possible, so that he can go back to Chang'an to take care of his wife and children.
He doesn't care about things like power games, anyway, it's just the local people in Tuyuhun fighting for life and death, and they can't threaten him, what the hell is he doing.
With this kung fu, he might as well find more other generals to drink, or do a few more suture surgeries, save the lives of some battlefield veterans as much as possible, and reserve more capable fighters for Datang.
After Murong Fuyun fell into the hands of the Tang army, Li Jing and they probably spread the news through the tribal association army that followed them, not only to establish the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and declare some force, but also to see if there were any forces that were really loyal to Fu Yun.
A relatively stable, but not so concerted Tuyuhun is more in line with the interests of Datang. Especially the one who came to power, it is best to always rely on the strength of the Tang Dynasty to support him behind his back in order to sit firmly in his seat. In other words, what Datang actually wants is an obedient dog, not a wolf who may jump up and bite back at any time.
In the end, it was probably for this purpose, so Murong Shun, the king of Daning, the son of Fu Yun, was chosen. His mother is the princess Guanghua of the Sui Dynasty, and he himself has been a proton in the Central Plains during the Sui Dynasty, and was once appointed as the Khan of Tuyuhun by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, but unfortunately the local forces of Tuyuhun who really supported him in power were killed before he returned to his homeland, so he had no choice but to run away from the Central Plains halfway.
When the Tang Dynasty was established, Li Yuan and Tuyuhun fought together against Li Liang's forces, so in return, Murong Shun was released by the Tang Dynasty. However, staying in the Central Plains for a long time made him always have more trust in the Central Plains Empire, but unfortunately he had already set up another prince before, and this one was naturally resentful.
This time, Fu Yun was captured, and Murong Shun still had some strength, so he simply killed the staunch anti-Tang faction of King Tianzhu, and took his head as a vote to show his closeness to the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty was looking for such a person to use, and the two sides hit it off, and on the basis of Murong Shun's self-establishment as the Khan of Tuyuhun, he was crowned the king of Xiping County, so legally speaking, Tuyuhun actually became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that the territory that Murong Shun can really command is still too little, at least it failed to cover the entire territory of Tuyuhun, and the territory where his orders worked, that is, all the territories that he helped plow in the Tang Dynasty.
Fortunately, because the three tribes of Tianzhu were basically uprooted by the Tang Dynasty, the core area around Tuyuhun City fell into the hands of Murong Shun, and he, the Tuyuhun Khan, was also justified.
Most of his enemies gathered on Shanshan's side, and on the other side of the desert, they were all Tuyuhun's veteran aristocrats, all of whom were more stubborn and stubborn in their so-called orthodoxy, and of course they also had the meaning of making excuses for their own struggle for power and profit, and they obviously didn't treat Murong Shun as a foreign student very well.
And it can be expected that after the Tang army is gone, even if it nominally submits to Murong Shun and these areas, it will not be able to go anywhere, otherwise there will be no later, the war that Xi Junmai left a strong mark in history happened.
Of course, the reason why Datang was able to agree to escort him was precisely this point, he had received the education of the Central Plains, his heart was towards Datang, and he had a certain strength base, but he had to rely on the support of Datang, which was a perfect candidate.
However, Shi Lei didn't really care much about this, long before the will to reward Murong Shun was issued, Shi Lei, just like during the last Turkic war, simply grabbed the job of returning to Chang'an to report the victory, and brought his own guards and Li Jing's report documents, and embarked on the return journey impatiently, and the running was no worse than eight hundred miles of hurry.
Shi Lei didn't want to meddle too much in the local affairs of Tuguhun, and the other generals may still have a lot of interests there, thinking that they could use this time to cultivate more of their own forces there, so as to pave the way for them to reach out to the local area in the future.
Shi Lei is not able to develop such a new trade route for the time being, there are still too few people, and with the two routes on the sea, the interests of Tuyuhun and even the Silk Road are not too valued and concerned by Shi Lei.
Of course, the interests here have long been carved up by the old forces of Datang, and it is not easy for Shi Lei to get involved, and it is also a very important factor.
And didn't Shi Lei already bury a few nails to come in, and his merits also ensure that when he wants to intervene, he will always have his share, but there must not be too much.
Li Jing still has to weigh the relationship within the Tang Army, and try his best to make everyone rain and dew evenly and impartial, which is also a great test of his level of being handsome. Otherwise, this generalissimo is not something that ordinary people can do, and if he does not have the level of governing a place or even a country, he will not be able to play such a complicated job at all.
For example, Shi Lei has a very clear understanding and positioning of himself, he is a fierce general brother, he has nothing to do to go out and play with others, just forget it when the marshal takes the idea, if it weren't for the many helpers in the family, he would probably not even be a good head of the family, and he would not have the ability to be a lieutenant or a defender, so he would have to catch these things.
But there are no absolutes in the world, maybe one day he will be forced to this part, and he can also come up with this ability, mainly because now he is used to being a shopkeeper, and there is a little bit of a flower in the greenhouse, in fact, he has really experienced a little less wind and rain, so in terms of dealing with people, he is still not mature enough, like now, at the important moment of real division of interests after the war, he will be willful every time.
Fortunately, it is not without any benefit for him to do this, at least it makes other people feel a lot better about a really upright guy like him, and his status in the group is gradually rising, because everyone recognizes such a new star more.
It can always bring more benefits to everyone, but it is not very keen on it, and whoever changes this kind of person, as long as it is a companion and not an enemy, will definitely be very welcome.
