Chapter 527: Far North Garrison
What Su Dingfang was waiting for was this guy's words, if he took us back immediately, Su Dingfang probably wouldn't dare to go back, firstly, because it had just snowed, and secondly, he had to test what was going on with this guy, in case he faked his surrender?
Of course, the probability of this situation is almost non-existent, if so many people from the family come to fake surrender, then these people are really enough, not to mention that Su Dingfang asked his subordinates to find out hundreds of miles, and there were people who died of illness under this guy all the way.
So Su Dingfang concluded that this guy really came to surrender, and it would never be a fake surrender, and now the entire Xue Yantuo is in full battle, it is unlikely that we will kill the horse pistol, and in a month or two, it will be a good opportunity.
Su Dingfang showed an embarrassed face, he had to make this guy feel that he was of little use, and he had to let him behave well in the future, if we were overjoyed, it would really give this guy face, so Su Dingfang left after saying a few words, and when he left, he also said that this matter may not be possible.
"This General Su should be able to speak."
Angurtai looked at Su Dingfang's back and cheered himself up in his heart.
"Captain Dadu, a few of his subordinates just looked around, the Datang army is really elite, and there is a large area of black pressure, I don't know how many people there are, I heard that Datang has a million army, we are ......"
Just when Angultai was thinking about something, several of his men came back from outside, just now Angultai sent them to take a look around, these people didn't know and were startled, the Tang army was too strong.
The quality of both the people and the horses is much better than them, and if they really meet on the battlefield, the chance of their victory is definitely no more than two percent.
"Lao Tzu took you to Datang, if Datang is weak, why did Lao Tzu bring you people over, let's do a good job next, we must impress them, let them know our ability, we will follow the strong in the future."
Angurtai strengthened his confidence, and the people around him were still a little skeptical, after all, there were constant disputes between them and Datang, whether it was the Turks or the Datang, they were enemies in their eyes, and surrendering Datang has always been a hurdle that many people could not overcome, and now after seeing the strength of Datang, I believe they also know how to choose.
Li Xiang camp
"This guy is really a careful person, let his people wander around several times, but we are not afraid of them looking, anyway, there is still a month or two in the next month, just look at it, and if you see more, you will know who is stronger."
Su Dingfang shook off the snow on his body, it would snow when there was no snowstorm on the Turkic steppe, and coupled with the cold weather, it was snowing here almost all winter.
"This guy is a capable person, in the future, we will take down the entire Xue Yantuo, it is estimated that the local territory will also have to be handed over to him, we outsiders can't play in this place, but we have to be on some precautions to hand it over to him, that is, to consume all his cronies."
Li Xiang said while roasting the fire, now the temperature outside has reached minus 30 degrees, in such an environment Li Xiang is really a little unbearable, in modern society he also lived in the Yellow River Basin, when did he taste this temperature?
"Your Highness has calculated, this guy will definitely not be able to run out of our palms, but Xue Yantuo is too far away from Chang'an, if possible, we will try to migrate to Monan and migrate all their people in Mobei."
Su Dingfang's idea represents the idea of most of the Tang people, the advantage of this is to reduce our management costs, the north is indeed unable to live, whether it is grazing or farming, it is not a good place over there, if we can let them all move over, we can strengthen the management of them, the fewer people in the north means the safer that side is, even if there is a rebellion, the scale is absolutely large, and the local yamen can suppress it.
"Your idea only considers reducing management expenses, and does not take into account our future generations, although the land in the north is not suitable for human habitation, but it is a vast strategic depth for us, although there are no enemies in the north now, it does not mean that there will be no enemies in the future, it is a policy to relocate some of their population, and it is also a policy to strengthen the management of the remaining part."
Li Xiang's words made Su Dingfang feel a little puzzled, you must know that in the north of Xue Yantuo, except for the endless taiga, I am afraid that nothing can be found, how can there be enemies there? Could it be those ferocious black bears? No matter how powerful the beast is, under the wisdom of man, it will not be able to produce much strength.
"But if we garrison troops in the far north, everything will have to be transported from the south, which will cause great pressure, and this piece of land will not be able to produce any benefits to us, and everything will be expenses at that time, and now the income of the imperial court can wait until the imperial income is sharply reduced, and the ministers of the imperial court will ......."
Su Dingfang thought for a while and said, he is different from Niu Jinda, Niu Jinda is thinking about the little things on the battlefield, Su Dingfang can take into account the financial problems of the imperial court, which shows that this guy can also manage civil affairs, which can be regarded as a double-faced.
"The garrison army does not need much, it only serves the role of an early warning, how much money can it spend a year? If the ministers of the imperial court really think about the country and reduce their lives a little, it is estimated that it will be enough for the expenses of the northern garrison. ”
Thinking about those big families in Chang'an City, Su Dingfang was silent, what Li Xiang said was true, whether it was the Tang Dynasty or Tubo, the life of the upper class was extremely luxurious, dozens of dollars a pound of wine were drunk every day, and hundreds of dollars a pound of tea were the same, so it was absolutely no problem to squeeze some money out of their mouths.
"That's something you think about, not something I think about, will you report the news of this guy's surrender to Chang'an City?"
Su Dingfang didn't feel anything wrong when he said this, if it was heard by the officials of Chang'an City, he would definitely say that this kid was rebellious, but Su Dingfang has now regarded Li Xiang as the emperor, the emperor in the capital is the emperor, and our Royal Highness is also the emperor here, which is almost the idea of the soldiers of the whole army......
