Tang camp, Chinese military tent.

His Majesty Li Er was in high spirits, smiled, and said: "Spread my will, all the soldiers of the army, each of them will enjoy three bowls of wine and one pound of meat, to celebrate this great victory." In addition, the names of the meritorious soldiers were reported by the various ministries, and I received another reward. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

His Majesty Li Er glanced around, and said, "Do you know that Aiqing knows who is the first hero of this battle?" ”

Everyone said in unison: "Qin Guogong Guo Ye!" ”

The Tang Emperor shook his head and said, "Although Qin Guogong has made great contributions, he is not the first hero of this battle. ”

…… People looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was being sold in his gourd. Guo Ye recognized the second credit this time, who else dares to admit the first? Is it that Your Majesty has been trapped for so long, and his brain is a little bad? Or did he deliberately suppress Qin Guogong?

His Majesty Li Er continued: "The first merit of this battle is two people. First, it is the Khitan Eight-Part Alliance Changmo Club. The second is the Su branch of the prince of the Xi tribe. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them understood the righteousness and jointly sent troops. Qin Guogong is afraid that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

If you talk about others, then everyone will definitely disagree. But to say these two foreigners, it doesn't matter. People bring their own dry food to fight for Datang, and the credit is exaggerated, which is nothing.

His Majesty Li Er stood up, walked to the front of the Mo Society, and said, "You Khitan have made such a great achievement, I don't know what reward you want?" ”

"We didn't do much to fight, and it was thanks to the power of the Qin State that we had a big victory. I dare not be your Majesty's reward. ”

"You're wrong. The credit of Qin Guogong is Qin Guogong's, and your credit is your own, not to be confused. I will reward him later, and now I want to talk about your Khitan itself. ”

Mo Hui rolled his eyes and said: "My Khitan was originally a barbarian, not educated. Today, I saw the tiger power of Qin Guogong and His Majesty's invincible soldiers, and I knew the strength of the Tang Dynasty. Now I am willing to join the clan, and I hope that Your Majesty will allow it. ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled and pointed with his hand, and said, "Mohui, Mohui, I see that you are afraid of power...... Well, all in all, your mind is good, and I am very relieved! Well, I'll agree to your request. ”

He originally wanted to say that he was afraid of power but not virtuous, but this was not a good word after all, so he quickly changed his words.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The demon will kneel down and salute.

"Then I will take the Khitan territory as the Governor of Songmo. And you will be the first Grand Governor of the Pine Desert Governor's Mansion. ”

"Yes!"

"Also...... As far as I know, your Khitan's so-called Eight Divisions Alliance is also known as the Dahe Alliance. Do you have the surname Ogue? ”

"Not really. We Khitan people have names but no surnames, and the nobles of the Weichen tribe are called Dahe Zhongren. The so-called Oga clan means the most powerful tribe. ”

"I see. Since I am a citizen, it is not good to have a surname. In this way, I will give all of you the people of the Dahe clan a unified surname of Li. As for the rest of the tribesmen, they can take the surname of Han. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your surname. That Weichen will be called Li Mohui in the future. ”

"You have the same surname as me, but you have to guard this territory for me and govern the people of the Song Desert Governor's Mansion."

"Weichen will live up to His Majesty's trust, and he will die with all his might!"

"Good! Good! ”

Then, His Majesty Li Er came to Su Zhi again and said, "Prince Su Zhi, what reward do you Xi people want?" ”

Su Zhi was still young, and he couldn't help but be a little helpless at this time, peeking at Guo Ye, and muttering: "I...... I...... I don't know. ”

"How could you not know? Think about it again. As long as it is a reasonable request, I will not allow it. Even if it's the same as the requirements of the Mokai Club, it's okay. ”

"I ...... I listen to Qin Guogong. ”

Swish~

Guo Ye suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and said, "His Royal Highness the prince is cautious!" How can Guo make you obey me? ”

His Majesty Li Er's face changed slightly at first, and then he was relieved and said, "It's because the old king of the Xi clan is not here, and His Royal Highness the prince can't be the master." Don't push it on Qin Guogong's head. ”

Only then did Su Zhi realize that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly remedied: "Then our Xi clan also requests to be attached." ”

Originally, Su Zhi, as a prince, did not have the qualifications to request the attachment at all, but His Majesty Li Er didn't care about that. This is a work to expand the territory, how can he refuse?

Immediately rejoiced: "Okay! Then I will take the location of your Xi clan as the Governor of Raole, and His Royal Highness the Prince will be the first Governor of Raole. According to the Khitan example, the surname Li was given. ”

Su Zhi said: "I am not much different from the Mohui, he is only the head of the Khitan Alliance, and he has no real power, but my prince is really powerful." How can the two of us have the same official position? ”

Mo Hui looked embarrassed and said, "Don't be dissatisfied." The governor is the biggest official of the Xi clan, is it possible that you still want to serve in the Tang Dynasty? ”

His Majesty Li Er didn't want to make extraneous branches, and said: "If Prince Su Zhi is not satisfied, then I will add you another position as the county magistrate of Loufu." ”

"That's pretty much it, Your Majesty."

As soon as Su Zhi knelt down, this position was decided.

Today, Datang has set up two prefectures at once, and the area is larger than Goguryeo.

The ministers knelt on the ground one after another and said, "Your Majesty is virtuous and profound, and he has attracted the Xi people and Khitan to vote." Congratulations to Your Majesty! ”

His Majesty Li Er laughed and said, "Today is really a happy day. One joy is the defeat of Goguryeo, the second joy is attached to the Khitan, and the third joy is attached to the Xi people. What does this mean? It shows that our Datang is unprecedentedly strong! I encourage you with all the secretaries! ”

The ministers are again full of rumors.

Guo Ye casually said auspicious words, but his heart was tired. The Xi people are okay, the key is the Khitan.

It was not easy for him to let the Khitan Babu swear to the sky and never call him Khan. In order to prevent the Khitan from forming a real core.

This is good, His Majesty Li Er's words almost ruined his efforts. The Governor of the Desert is not elected, as long as he does not issue an order to deprive him, he can continue to be in office.

In other words, he will be the Khitan leader recognized by the Tang Dynasty in the future. This is not much different from the Khan.

Of course, His Majesty Li Er's move is not that he didn't take advantage of it at all.

Although the Songmo Governor's Mansion is only a feudal state, it can also be regarded as the territory of the Tang Dynasty. In the future, the imperial court can justifiably meddle in some internal affairs of the Khitan. With such an entry and exit, it is really hard to say whether it is a loss or a profit.

When people's voices slowly lowered, His Majesty Li Er announced the rewards for all the soldiers of the Khitan and Xi tribes who participated in the war. In addition to the wine and meat just mentioned, I also rewarded two silk horses, and the money was consistent.

This figure is nothing for the Tang Army, but it is a very considerable number for the two countries.

Let's make a simple comparison. Hundreds of years later, the Khitan and the Great Song Dynasty made an alliance with the Yuanyuan. According to this treaty, the annual property given to the Khitan by the Song Dynasty was 200,000 horses of silk and 100,000 taels of silver.

This made the Khitan satisfied and maintained peace with the Great Song Dynasty for decades.

And now the reward given by the Tang Dynasty to the Khitan and Xi people is 160,000 horses of silk and 80,000 pieces of money. It is similar to the age difference of the alliance of the abyss.

Don't forget, the future Khitan is a large country with a population of nearly 10 million. And now it is nothing more than a small tribe of hundreds of thousands of people.

Such a reward is not insignificant.

The Demon Society and Suzhi knelt down again in Shane.

Then, His Majesty Li Er came to Guo Ye again and said, "Guo Aiqing's merits are known to everyone, but I don't know what reward you want?" ”

Guo Ye knelt on the ground and said, "Weichen doesn't want any reward, as long as His Majesty punishes a person heavily." ”

"Who do you want to deal with?"

"Xun Guogong Zhang Liang!"
