Li Xiang has always been concerned about these toast masters, don't look at the blessings that made them all at the beginning, but in the hearts of many people, they are still unwilling to change their lives since ancient times.

At that time, the reason why they conceded defeat was because they had no other choice, and now that life has settled down a little, the idea of rebellion has reappeared.

Of course, the proportion of this part of the population is not large, but even if it is not much, it is also one of the factors of regional instability, and it is necessary for Li Xiang to pay attention to them.

From the old man Xiao onwards, Li Xiang has written letters to all the officials in charge of Sichuan, asking them to pay close attention to these people, once there is the slightest sign of it, it must be killed, and this kind of thinking must not be allowed to raise its head.

Even when he came to the king of Chengdu, Li Xiang asked people to write a letter, the relationship between the two cousins was not good, but it was related to the safety of his territory, and the king of Chengdu still did not dare to slack off.

Along the way, Li Xiang was also carefully observing the five thousand soldiers, and some of them were willing to follow the Tang army on the expedition, because from the battlefield, their status could be improved, and they could also get a lot of money, which could improve the life of their families.

But more people are reluctant to go out, in their opinion, there will be death if they fight, if they live honestly in the mountains, how can there be this death? All of this was brought to them by Datang.

Don't look at the fact that Datang has changed their living environment now, what can be done is to let their warriors shed blood for Datang, this kind of thinking is not a few, Li Xiang can't think of how to deal with them for the time being, so he can only use force to let them go to the battlefield.

The integration between the two ethnic groups is not so simple, blindly tough is not good, blindly soft is even more not, you must find a suitable middle point, and now it is also being explored.

When there was nothing to do on the road, Li Xiang called Zhang Jiuli over, this guy also used to govern Sichuan, I don't know if he has a high opinion on this matter, but Li Xiang didn't have much hope, after all, when this guy was in charge of Sichuan, the relationship between the two clans was not improved, and because of the weak military at that time, this guy almost embarrassed the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, this is also a helpless thing, the old man of the toast occupies the mountain as the king, if you want to make them surrender, you have to subdue them like Li Xiang, if you want to count on the gift, then don't count on it.

"These days, the younger ones have also visited among them, and found that the people who hold two attitudes are one and half on one side, and we can only find a way from this side."

After Zhang Jiuli listened to Li Xiang's words, he immediately expressed his opinion, and half of this side was naturally half close to Datang, and half of those who hated Datang.

"You mean to woo closeness?"

Li Xiang heard the meaning of this guy's words, and he really deserved to be a ghost, what kind of thing came to him, he could give you a solution, of course, you still have to think about it, this guy's solution has always been very costly.

"Please forgive your majesty for your innocence."

Zhang Jiuli looked at the marching army outside, all the soldiers brought from Chang'an City around here, they wouldn't have much contact with the army of these toast masters, so even if they heard it, they didn't have to be afraid that it would spread out.

"It seems that your method is not very glorious, then you just say it, we are all black-bellied people."

The reason why Zhang Jiuli is willing to follow Li Xiang is because Li Xiang is more practical in speaking and doing things, just take what Li Xiang said now, the people in power in all dynasties dare not say it, they all advertise themselves as a righteous and bright image, these things are done by the people below, how can it have anything to do with them?

But Li Xiang is not like this, people can tell you in the clear, they themselves are not a righteous and bright person, in order to maintain the rule of the Tang Dynasty, they can do anything.

"I hope that His Royal Highness can divide the army of Lord Tusi into two parts, of course it is not so obvious, one part is naturally close to us, let them follow the action of the Tang army, and the other part has a bad heart in their hearts, then let them die out on the battlefield! The most important thing in a nation is these young labor forces, and when their young labor force is gone, the remaining old and weak diseases will not be a problem. ”

Zhang Jiuli lowered his voice, which also surprised Li Xiang, I didn't expect your kid to be so bold, now they are wearing the armor of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, once it is spread out, the two of us will not be able to eat and walk around, and the image established by Li Xiang may also collapse.

Seeing Li Xiang's sharp eyes, Zhang Jiuli quickly knelt down, but Li Xiang still helped this guy up, although what he said was a bit excessive, but it was also a solution.

"Politics is always dirty, then leave this matter to you, divide them into two parts, you must carefully screen them, of course, don't be so clear, if some people have evil intentions, then this time they will not be allowed to come back."

When Li Xiang said this, he suddenly remembered another thing, after all, he came from modern society, and respect for life had been imprinted in his mind.

"Is it possible to keep them in our new occupation and let them help us manage our overseas territories?"

Although these people still have evil intentions, Li Xiang still feels that they should be given a chance, after all, they are already the people of the Tang Dynasty, and if they are counted like this on the battlefield, Li Xiang's heart is still a little uncomfortable, if it were Goryeo and Fusang Li Xiang's brows would not wrinkle.

"It's not impossible, but you can't let their families go over in a short time, you can only let them be there by themselves, so that you can control them, otherwise it will be easy to fight the mountain and become kings, and then it will be another disaster."

Zhang Jiuli also agreed with Li Xiang's suggestion, after all, there were too many newly occupied lands, and compared to the local army, they could be trusted.

And every time they occupy a new place, the local resistance will be very fierce, and when they are stationed in the local area, they don't have the time to think about how to resist the Tang Dynasty, and then suppress the local area first, otherwise they will face all kinds of assassinations every day, and before you can react, your life will be gone.

"Then don't separate them for the time being, so as not to startle the snake."

Li Xiang looked at the Tusi army in the distance and said thoughtfully......
