The vacation after returning from the expedition was coming to an end, and Liu Yi also asked these maids not to disturb them at night, and he took two nights to write a summary of the training of his personal guards, and prepared to train them step by step according to the method written.

This is a summary of Liu Yi's experience in some training methods before and after he became an agent in his later life, combined with the receptivity of people in this era, and the comprehensive situation of all aspects. Liu Yi thought about it and wrote it out when he was thinking about it now, even if he was busy in the future, he would not forget it, and he could train according to the plan he made, and he hoped that some of the nearly 100 personal guards would eventually perform very well and be able to do a lot for themselves, including peacetime and wartime.

There aren't too many people to choose from, so you can only choose from your own personal guard, and pick the eldest son among the short ones.

There are still two days to go back to the palace to be on duty, Liu Yi also packed up some necessary things, and prepared to enter the palace a day earlier and hand over the affairs to avoid mistakes.

Who knew that when Liu Yi was just preparing things in the mansion, a eunuch came to the mansion, saying that His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven had announced his entry into the palace.

Liu Yi looked at the sky, it was already late afternoon, and he couldn't understand why Li Zhi and Wu Zetian summoned him now.

It has been several days since the maids sent by Princess Taiping arrived at the house, Princess Taiping herself did not come to the mansion again, and there was no news coming, Liu Yi was also waiting for Wu Zetian's opinion on this matter with a little anxiety, and he finally waited for the summons in the palace, but the situation was a little different, the eunuch who came to summon said that Li Zhi and Wu Zetian had summoned him together, and it didn't look like he was going to say this to himself. Liu Yi thought about it, it was possible that these two people had summoned him for something else, and he didn't worry about anything at the moment, so he followed the eunuch who came to the palace to summon him.

On the way to the palace, Liu Yi also inquired about the eunuch who came to summon him several times, trying to understand some information from the eunuch, but the eunuch replied to Liu Yi with a very respectful attitude, and he didn't know any situation, so Liu Yi had to give up.

Liu Yi entered the palace and followed the eunuchs in the palace directly to Penglai Palace, and a eunuch guarding outside the palace asked Liu Yi to wait for a while, and then trotted in to report.

After a while, the eunuch walked out, followed by Shangguan Wan'er, who was expressionless and dressed as a female official.

"General Liu, please come in with the lower officials!" Shangguan Wan'er said in a tone that didn't have any feelings.

Liu Yi was slightly surprised, and looked at Shangguan Wan'er with inquiring eyes, Shangguan Wan'er didn't see it, lowered her eyes, and made a gesture of invitation, Liu Yi had to step into the hall.

Shangguan Wan'er walked in front of Liu Yi, and when she entered the outer hall, Liu Yi saw that no one was paying attention, so she took a big step to catch up with Shangguan Wan'er, and asked quietly: "Wan'er, why did Your Majesty and Niangniang call me today?" ”

To Liu Yi's surprise, Shangguan Wan'er didn't stop, didn't even slow down, didn't look back, still walked towards the hall, and a sentence that was also not emotionally colorful floated over: "Why did Your Majesty and Niangniang summon you, how did Xiaguan know..."

Liu Yi had a headache, this beauty must have known about Princess Taiping sending her maid to her house, and sure enough, the worst situation happened, and she was very angry, so she had to find a chance to talk to her, and she must not be hated.

In Liu Yi's thoughts, Shangguan Wan'er had already walked into the inner hall first, walked to Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, who were sitting side by side on the couch, and saluted: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the slave has brought General Liu into the hall..."

Liu Yi also hurriedly took a few steps forward and respectfully saluted: "Weichen knocks to see His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven~!"

"Liu Aiqing, let's get even!" Li Zhi waved his hand and motioned for Liu Yi to sit down on the side of His Highness's bed.

Liu Yi also sat down on the side as he said, squinting at the place, Shangguan Wan'er was standing on the other side of the hall, and she could see it from the corner of her eye, but Shangguan Wan'er didn't look at him, her eyes slanted at the other place, with a solemn expression.

Liu Yi felt a special gaze towards him, raised his eyes slightly, and found that it was Wu Zetian staring at him, but Liu Yi couldn't taste the meaning, and it was difficult to look up.

Li Zhi spoke: "Virtuous nephew, I heard that you mentioned some strategies against Tubo and Turks some time ago, and I and Niangniang were also very interested after knowing about it, so I summoned you here today and wanted to hear what you had to say!"

Liu Yi was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that he would be specially summoned into the palace today, and he would ask about this, Li Zhi also asked so bluntly, it seems that it is likely that there is a dispute between the DPRK and China in formulating the politics of the Tibetan and Turkic ministries, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian can't make up their minds, they want to have one more opinion, or they are interested in some of the things they said, so they called themselves here to ask.

Li Zhi's tone and salutation were very easy-going, and Liu Yi's hanging heart when he entered the palace was also relaxed.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, that's just a chance that the minister came up with, just some random thoughts, not well thought out," I didn't think of summoning myself into the palace to talk about this matter, Liu Yi had already written some of the notes on the Tibetan and Turkic policies that he hadn't brought, he originally wanted to show Shangguan Wan'er first, revise it, and then submit it, but he didn't expect Li Zhi and Wu Zetian to ask him first, and he was a little caught off guard.

"Virtuous nephew, since you have thought of some of them, and have been affirmed by some important ministers in the court, what you said must be quite reasonable, today you can say it here, let Your Majesty and the palace hear it!" Wu Zetian, who had been staring at Liu Yi for a long time, also spoke.

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian both said this, Liu Yi didn't dare to shirk anymore, hurriedly got up and saluted, and then said: "Then Weichen will say some immature ideas, if there is anything wrong, please Your Majesty and Niangniang don't blame..."

Out of the corner of Liu Yi's eyes, he saw that Shangguan Wan'er, who had just stood expressionlessly, also seemed to react, raised his eyes, and stared at him quickly for a while, the meaning in his eyes was very complicated, as if he wanted to indicate something, but he immediately lowered his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, most of the wars of my Tang Dynasty against the northern nomadic tribes over the years have been victorious, but the border troubles have not been completely extinguished, Weichen feels that this is something worth thinking about..."

"Oh?!, you go on, say everything you think..."Li Zhi responded, glanced at Wu Zetian, and saw surprise in the other party's eyes, Liu Yi actually started talking in such a way.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the main reason for this situation is that we attach importance to the military and ignore the people's livelihood!" Liu Yi raised his head, looked straight ahead, and said eloquently: "The military blow has been victorious, and the nomadic tribes who are enemies of my Datang will temporarily submit to my Datang, but after the army of my conquest returned to Beijing, the military coercion did not exist, and the tribes slowly began to disobey the orders of my Datang..."

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian did not interject, and motioned for Liu Yi to continue.

Liu Yi also caught a glimpse of Shangguan Wan'er looking at him with some eager eyes, as if signaling himself not to say too much, but the conversation box had already been opened, Liu Yi wanted to vomit as soon as possible, so he said eloquently: "Weichen thinks that if after the victory of our army, we will strengthen the governance of the places obtained in the war, and adopt a series of measures to strengthen governance, such as placing the captured people of all ethnic groups in the interior and scattering them among our Han people... Build a city in a suitable place for the Hu people, garrison it, and the imperial court will send our Han officials to govern it, and then immigrate from the interior to live there, reclaim the land and graze herd, and at the same time garrison it with a force to suppress the various departments, then the tribe will definitely be afraid, just like the places where our army is stationed under the rule of the Anxi Protectorate, then the influence of the imperial court will increase..."

"The troops stationed in various places of our Datang can also participate in the military tuntian, just like General Heizhi Changzhi in Qinghai and General Wang Fangyi in Anxi, so that when there is no war, the army can be planted before the people who move to the station, so as to obtain the materials used in the army, so that our army can be stationed there for a long time, and there will be no embarrassment due to the lack of food supply in our Central Plains..."

"With the deterrent power of the army, coupled with the increase in the number of people I have immigrated, for so long, the influence of my Datang has increased greatly, if some Hu people also pay taxes and serve in the military together, so that Hu people have a sense of identity with my Datang, so that after a few years or more than ten years, decades, the newly occupied land will be stabilized. If we gain a firm foothold, then these places will become the new and permanent land of our Datang, the territory of Datang will be further expanded, and the majesty of Datang will spread all over the four provinces. These places will also become stable logistics places and outposts to counter the invasion of the Beihu people, and the troops stationed there can become a decisive force for counterinsurgency, and if there is a war, they can respond quickly, and the troops sent from here will counterattack the invasion of foreign enemies, which will shorten the distance a lot, and the supply of logistics food and grass will also be much more convenient..."

The most famous military tuntian in later generations is Nanniwan and the production and construction corps, especially the large province in the northwest, that is, the production and construction corps established in the land of Anxi, which plays a vital role in the stability of the northwest frontier, which is the masterpiece of Wang Huzi, the prestige of Wang Huzi can also stop the children in the northwest from crying, Liu Yi is full of respect in his heart for this respectable, Weizhen northwest for many years, and also let Liu Yi further realize the role of military tuntian.

In addition to the fact that the military tuntian had already begun, Wang Fangyi of Anxi had also begun to implement it, and the strategy adopted by the two generals was not strongly respected by the imperial court, which made Liu Yiting puzzled.

"This matter has also been discussed among the ministers at the court, and most of the people's opinion is that the land of Beihu is cold and not suitable for living, which is really the same as chicken ribs..."Li Zhi frowned and said, even he held this opinion, and did not agree with investing a lot of manpower and material resources in governance, but what Liu Yi just said, the reason is completely different from other ministers in the court, and the temptation is still very great.

The role of the military tuntian has also gradually been reflected in the past two years, and the pressure on the imperial court to supply materials to these two places has also been greatly reduced, which is also the reason why the imperial court acquiesced to Wang Fangyi and Heizhi Changzhi to implement this policy...
