"From the former Sui to the present, Tuyuhun has surrendered to the Central Plains several times, but he has rebelled several times, Murong Yun, Murong Shun, all of them, and the people of Tuyuhun are also like this." After a pause, Li Xuan stood behind Liu Renliang and said softly: "In terms of the overall situation, if there was no Tubo, Tuyuhun would have ceased to exist a long time ago. ”

Tuyuhun should have ceased to exist a long time ago, and so did the people of Tuyuhun.

The Tang Dynasty set up the four towns of Anxi in the Western Regions, and the Andong and Xiongjin Protectorates in the East Island, with the intention of annexation.

It's just that later, because of the rebellion of Silla, the Xiongjin Protectorate was revoked, and the four towns of Anxi also fell into the hands of the Tubo people several times.

Due to the special terrain, Tuyuhun was not suitable for the establishment of a border state in the first place, and the situation here was even more severe than that of the Turks.

Li Xuan thought in his heart, but the words were not spoken, and he thought about it and said: "Today's Tuyuhun land, aside from the West Tuyuhun, the East Tuyuhun is roughly divided into four parts. ”

Liu Renliang nodded slightly, and raised his hand to signal Li Xuan to continue.

"Qinghai Hubei, Tuyuhun is fighting fiercely with the governor of Anle Prefecture; thirsty Bochuan, Su and Gui; South of the Shazhuyu River, under the control of the Tubo people, there is another one. Li Xuan took a light breath, and then said: "The last part is Fu Qi City, where there are all old and weak. ”

"The Tubo people incorporated Tuguhun into the army, but left the old and weak in Fuqi City, which is really calculating." Liu Renliang couldn't help but sneer.

"But those old and weak are those strong roots, if they kill them, if they don't win, they will hate our dynasty more and more, but if they don't attack them, even if we wait for them more, the Tuyuhun people will not be loyal to our dynasty."

Li Xuan thought about it, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he looked at Liu Renliang in great horror.

At this time, Liu Renliang smiled lightly and said: "So, it is still the previous statement, Su and your department are going to rush to Fu Qi City, with them, our department is just besieging the city, and all the affairs in Fu Qi City are not under my control, even if the food is exhausted, it has nothing to do with us, if it is at that time, they will definitely go out of the city to beg and surrender, then what we do, it is up to them." ”

Leaving the city to beg and surrender, Li Xuan immediately understood Liu Renliang's thoughts.

Also, as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Renliang must be thoughtful.

His coming here means that the Zhongshu Dynasty has a complete way to deal with Fu Qi City.

The emperor has always been a noble person before, if Tubo kills Su and Gui, then Tuyuhun people will naturally no longer be loyal to Tubo.

If they don't kill Su Hegui, with the words of the Tang Emperor, Su Hegui will definitely be panicked in his heart, and he will keep a hand when he fights.

But it's a pity that Li Zhi thinks about the elements and the life of the noble, and the Qinling is already the life of the elements and the noble, so the prime and the expensive can't live.

Even if it is Liu Renliang, what he wants is not Su Hegui, but Su Hegui's soldiers.

As for Su Hegui's death, he can die in Qinghai or Chang'an.

Even if he was willing to dance and beg to the emperor in the court, as Jieli Khan did back then, the emperor might spare his life.

This involves the containment of Murong Nuo's bowl.

The calculations of those old foxes in the court are layered, and it is difficult to see what they are calculating.

Li Xuan also only now understands that Liu Renliang ordered Wang Xiaojie to kill Chaka Salt Lake and cut off the retreat of the Tubo and Tuyuhun coalition forces, and the purpose was not to take down all the Tubo and Tuyuhun coalition forces, but to swallow Tuyuhun and your troops.

Drove them to the city of Fu Qi, trapped in the city of Fu Qi, not to mention the long-term plot, at least in the short term, they did not need to bear the affairs of the people of the city.

"But there's another problem?" Liu Renliang suddenly looked at Li Xuan.

The corners of Li Xuan's mouth twitched, and he arched his hand and said, "Yue Weng, please speak." ”

"It's the governor of Anle Prefecture, and when the time comes, if he can't help but rush into Fuqi City, then he can only trouble his son-in-law to stop him." Liu Renliang smiled lightly.

The Tang Dynasty no longer supports the establishment of the Tuyuhun State, which Tubo does not know, and Murong Nuo, the governor of Anle Prefecture, also does not know.

But everything will gradually show its traces as time goes by.

Once Murong Nuo's bowl is aware, he will naturally make some moves, and when the time comes, if he wants to stop Murong Nuo's bowl, someone needs to stand up.

Liu Renliang didn't want to be this villain, after all, at the moment, the Tang Dynasty exiles couldn't come to Fuqi City for a while, and they still needed Murong Nuo's bowl.

So at the moment, in Liu Renliang's opinion, Li Xuan is the most suitable.

Li Xuan is not only Liu Renliang's grandson-in-law, but also the king of the county.

Murong Nuo is not only the governor of Anle Prefecture and the king of Qinghai, but also the captain of the horse, the husband of Princess Honghua, and half of the clan.

So for this kind of thing, it is most appropriate for Li Xuan to come forward.

"Can my son-in-law refuse?" Li Xuan's face was full of wry smiles, it was not easy to dissuade a concubine who wanted to be the king again.

Liu Renliang smiled, and then shouted outside: "Come on, send some wine and food in." ”

……

Sitting opposite, Li Xuan respectfully toasted Liu Renliang.

At this time, I saw Liu Renliang put down his wine glass, looked at Li Xuan, and asked, "Virtuous son-in-law, when did you know that the old man arrived in Lanshan Dao?" ”

"At the beginning of April, when he first entered Hezhou, Kangle County Ling was a student of Yue Weng, and his grandson-in-law immediately felt that the influence of Yue Weng in Taohe Road was too great, so big that the court and the central government should not plan like this." After Li Xuan finished speaking in one breath, his expression was already solemn.

Although the main force of Taohedao's army is the generals and soldiers who were transferred back from Andong Dao, they are all Liu Renliang's former subordinates, but even the local county commanders are all Liu Renliang's students, which is a little strange.

Although Li Xuan is Liu Renliang's grandson-in-law, he is a clan after all.

Before and after are the generals and commanders who have an indirect relationship with him and the local county commanders, under normal circumstances, there will be people in the DPRK and China who are uneasy.

However, no one in the imperial court said a word at all, not even the imperial history did not move, and Li Xuan immediately understood that their eyes were never above him.

"Several times after that, the rhythm of the imperial court's march into Tibet, the follow-up handling of the matter of the Bolun Zanjian Blade, and the slow march of Lanshan Dao all show the prudence of the imperial court." After a slight pause, Li Xuan continued: "But Wenxi County Gong is definitely not a person with such patience. ”

In the final analysis, Pei Xingjian is still a veteran general on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, he can have the patience to hunt on the battlefield, but he definitely does not have that patience, and before the start of the big war, he patiently calculates the layout.

This is the difference between Pei Xingjian and Liu Renliang.

……

"After this year's secluded and spring drought, the Queen of Heaven ordered the household department to calculate the number of this year's autumn harvest, if the army is tired of fighting, the food and salary must be insufficient, especially the matter of Fu Qi City, on the Qin Ling lure the enemy to go deeper, it is really necessary to consume a large amount of grain and grass in Fu Qi City, not to mention whether to fight Dafeichuan and Wuhai, it is difficult to guarantee the food and salary of our army itself."

Liu Renliang sighed lightly, rubbed his wine glass, looked at Li Xuan and said: "Therefore, it has changed slightly, the coach will naturally be replaced, and finally the old man will come to Lanshan Road to preside...... Naturally, it can't be called Lanshan Road, but the generalissimo of the Northwest Road march, the general manager, and the soldiers and civilians of all roads are all under the control of the old man. ”

"The Queen of Heaven and Your Majesty, this is Lao Cheng's strategy for the country." Li Xuan nodded in agreement and said, "In this way, this army should have a total of twelve departures. ”

"Yes, in addition to Yizhou, Taohe, Lanshan, Ganliang, and Shasu Five Roads, there are also Anxi Dao." Liu Renliang directly said the top secret of Datang today.

Li Xuan nodded calmly, and then said: "Now I think Wenxi County Gong should have gone to Anxi." ”

"Yes." Liu Renliang looked at Li Xuan with appreciation, just because of these things, even if he didn't say it, Li Xuan could completely guess it.

The 12th Road of the Tang Dynasty conquered Tibet, Lanshan Road was the main force, Taohe and Ganliang were contained, Shasu was cut off, and the connection between Turks and Tubo was broken.

As for Anthy, that's a stab in the back.

"Prince of Persia, this time you should go back with the Duke of Wenxi County, right?" Li Xuan suddenly followed, and then said with a smile: "At that time, my son-in-law felt that the courtesy of the court and the Persian prince this year was very generous, and something was not quite right, and it seemed that he was going to use the power of Persia." ”

Liu Renliang shook his head and said: "Persia has been destroyed, and now although there is all the residual strength, it is difficult to have a real climate, the matter of the Persian prince is just to cover people's eyes and ears, Pei Shangshu is going west to Anxi this time, the purpose is to the Western Turks." ”

"Is it the Western Turkic merchants?" Li Xuan raised his head suddenly, and immediately thought about the batch of fake Western Turkic merchants he had found in Chang'an a few months ago.

Among those people, although they are mainly Tibetans, the Western Turks have the most, otherwise they would not have been able to hide all the way through the border pass and come directly to Chang'an.

However, the involvement of the Western Turks in the Tibetan incident is alarming enough.

After all, it happened not long ago that the descendants of the Eastern Turkic Khan tried to flee back to the Eastern Turks, and there were shadows of the Tibetans in it.

As a result, the people involved immediately investigated keenly.

There are ten tribes of the Western Turks, some of whom rely on the Tang Dynasty, and some of whom surrender to Tibet.

Their final choice will not be clear to anyone until the Great War.

If Datang takes rash action, it is very likely to force it to rebel.

If you don't do anything and let Tubo instigate, once the war starts, the Tang Dynasty will definitely lose the first hand in the war.

Under such circumstances, a shrewd commander must be present to deal with the affairs of the Western Turks.

This person is the secretary of the military department, Wenxi County Gong Pei Xingjian.

In his early years, Pei Xingjian served as the governor of Xizhou Prefecture and the protector of Anxi, and when he destroyed the Western Turks, Pei Xingjian was a fierce general.

Later, he had meritorious service in governing Anxi, and his prestige was profound, and many countries were attached to him.

Now Pei Xingjian is going to the Western Regions, there may be something going on in the Western Regions, but there will be no chaos.

"There is news that Zanxiruo is now in the Western Regions." Liu Renliang's words made the situation confusing again.

After Lu Dongzan died of illness that year, Zanxiruo succeeded him as the minister of Tubo, but only for five years, Zan Xiruo gave up the position of the prime minister to his younger brother on Qinling, because he was more suitable to be the minister of Tubo than him.

With this mind alone, you know how difficult it is to mess with Zanxiruo.

It is not for nothing that the Qinling family has occupied the position of the prime minister of Tibet for decades.

"So does Qin Ling know that Pei Shangshu went to the Western Regions?" Li Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't know it before, but I should know it today, but it's too late." Liu Renliang couldn't help but shake his head.

The Tibetans were very conspiracy in the Western Turks, and now it is almost time to break out.

Qingdong is too far away from the Western Regions, and there are deserts and mountains in the middle, and without half a month, the news cannot reach the Western Regions at all.

Not to mention that even if you go to the Western Regions, it will not be so easy to find Zan Xiruo for a while.

It's already too late.

Li Xuan couldn't help but nodded, he could think of the embarrassed look on his face when he received the news today.

"After the big thing, let's talk about the family matter?" Liu Renliang raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, and said with a little worry: "Sanniang is about to give birth in the next few days, right?" ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded slightly worriedly, subconsciously glanced back in the direction of Chang'an, and said softly: "Maybe now, Xin'er has been born." ”
