The oblique moon is like a hook, shining in the new city of Qugou.

The light is as bright as water, and the streets are crisscrossed.

Li Xuan stood on the high slope, looking at the city he had built single-handedly, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

In the whole city, the most central county government is connected to a large area of military camps in the north, and the other south, south, and west sides are densely packed with two-story wooden buildings.

Even then, it was not possible to build enough houses to house 30,000 people before winter arrived.

However, relying on the castle, countless tents were erected around the castle.

The whole winter has passed, and none of the Tuyuhun people who have relocated here have frozen to death.

……

"Lord Wang!"

Two voices sounded behind Li Xuan at the same time.

Changzhou Sima Ren and Qugou County Ling Chi Hongzang.

"Here we are." Li Xuan didn't look back, pointed to the city in front of him and said: "Pengcheng County Gong has already gone to Dafeichuan, and the grain, grass, ordnance, and craftsmen transported from Shanzhou and Kuozhou must be transferred to Dafeichuan in time." But don't let them have much contact with your people. ”

After a slight pause, Li Xuan said softly: "There are everyone in the world, in case there are a few restless Tang people with backgrounds who bully you and mutilate you, even this king is not in charge." ”

After Li Xuan finished speaking, there was a strange cold silence on the high slope.

"Lord Wang!" Ren Enci took a step forward, bowed down and said: "The subordinates don't know why the court and the central government want to appoint their subordinates as Changzhou Sima, and no one has contacted their subordinates in advance, so please ask the prince to ......."

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "It's not about you, it's just someone else's divisive strategy." ”

Ren Enci was slightly stunned, and his face instantly became ugly.

Last year, before Li Xuan returned to Chang'an, he told Chihongzang and Ren Enci.

Li Xuan will transfer Chihong to Xinghai to make a county order.

Li Xuan personally sat in Qugou.

Ren Enci remained in the army, commanding 6,000 Tuyuhun cavalry.

In Li Xuan's conception, the state of Changzhou was governed in Qugou, not Xinghai.

Xinghai is too close to Tibet, and the strategic depth is almost none.

With Qugou as the center, you can control Guinan, Tongde, Tongren, Xinghai, and Fuqi City at any time, and you can even keep an eye on Guide and Jianzha at all times.

But now with Xinghai as the state rule, Li Xuan instantly lost his influence on Fuqicheng, Guide and Jianzha.

He was even forced to face Tibet more squarely.

Chihongzang is old and can't travel long distances, so it's best to be a county magistrate.

Xinghai is all from the Tuyuhun tribe, and it is best for him to take over.

Qugou has a state rule, and it is difficult for the county government to play, so it doesn't matter who the county order is.

Chi Hongzang and Ren En Ci can recommend any person, and they will be able to set aside the county order sent by the court.

The key is benevolence.

Even if the court sent 2,000 Tuyuhun cavalry to join the Changzhou state army, there were still 4,000 cavalry.

It was most appropriate for Ren Enci to stay in the army and take charge of the 4,000 cavalry, but he was kicked out of the army.

Although he officially became the Sima of Changzhou, the number of troops under his command changed from 4,000 to 2,000.

The influence of the Tuyuhun in the army quickly declined.

Unless someone promised Ren En something, he would never dare to betray Li Xuan like this.

However, the actual situation is that no one has contacted Ren Enci at all, and Ming Chongyan has played an empty city plan with the North Gate Bachelor behind him, trying to make Li Xuan and Ren Enci turn their faces.

At this time, if their people get involved, it will be easier to control Changzhou.

Li Xuan only lightly clicked these words, and Ren Enci immediately heard them clearly.

"His subordinates will be loyal to the king, and they will never have two hearts." Ren Enci swore at Li Xuan's gambling curse.

These people followed Li Xuan from Fu Qi City to Qugou and saw too many of Li Xuan's methods.

You must know that when you came to Qugou from Fu Qi City, there was still a Gui Runuo, but unconsciously, your family had completely disappeared in Qugou.

It is said that the noble family came back after the king of Nanchang was impeached by the imperial history of the court last year, and all the men of the noble family went hunting in the mountains and never returned.

No one in the army asked, no one in the DPRK asked, and even the Tuyuhun people themselves had long forgotten about them.

In this case, who would dare to mess around.

Li Xuan smiled gently, waved his hand, and said: "As long as you are loyal to the Tang Dynasty and your majesty, you are loyal to this king, and you can say this directly when you arrive in Chang'an." ”

"Whoa!" Ren Grace let out a long sigh of relief, and then stepped back.

Li Xuan looked at the city in front of him and said softly: "Chi Lao, although the people in the city are still mainly herding, we still need to pick out some shrewd people who are responsible for trading with other merchants, so as not to let our own people lose." ”

"Whoa!" Chi Hongzang immediately surrendered.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then said: "If someone comes to the city, you don't have to kill them, just arrest them and send them to Dafeichuan, I believe that someone will be sent to the Wuhai front line soon." ”

"My subordinates understand." Crimson Zang bowed slightly.

Li Xuan's methods are still ruthless, he doesn't give others a chance to say favors at all, and throws them directly in front of the army.

After World War I, it's hard to say whether to live or die.

Li Xuan took a deep breath and said softly: "In this year's battle, the Tubo Guang Army will inevitably attack the city, from now on, dig moats and canals around Qugou and in the city, and be ready to evacuate people at any time, don't fight to the death because of a momentary fire." ”

Chi Hongzang couldn't help jumping in front of him, before the Tubo Guangjun came, Li Xuan had already said about the fire, who put the fire.

It's the Tubo Guangjun, or the king of Nanchang.

"And then there's the property." Li Xuan looked at Chi Hongzang and said in a deep voice: "In the name of the palace, open a cabinet shop, let your clansmen store as much property as possible in the cabinet shop, and once something happens in the future, the loss can be minimized." ”

"Yes!" Chihongzang immediately gave it up, and the two words of cabinet shop were enough to bring huge benefits.

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it, so far, the savings of the clansmen are the main thing, and they will not operate externally...... At least not now, the methods of the Han people, you can't deal with it. ”

"Yes!" Crimson Tibet's expression froze, and he immediately gave it up.

The Han people are treacherous, and the Tuyuhun people have suffered losses at their hands more than once.

Li Xuan continued to speak: "Those four thousand cavalry are now temporarily serving under the command of this king, but you also have to get one or two generals out...... This time in the war with Tubo, this king can also tilt some military merits to help grow, if it is too late, I am afraid that these 4,000 cavalry will have to be demolished. ”

"Yes!" Red Tibetan and benevolent gifts were given at the same time.

At this time, a sound of footsteps sounded, Zhou Qian came quickly, and arched his hand: "Lord Wang, the history of the Yuan Thorn has arrived." ”

……

In the county office, Li Xuan looked at Yuan Ming, who was wearing a black cloak, and said with a smile: "When the envoy returns from this mission, I am afraid that he will be appointed as a great Honglu in the court." ”

"The prince laughed."

Yuan Ming raised his eyes to look at Li Xuan and said, "If the lower official is appointed as the Great Honglu, then where will Liu Siqing go?" ”

"The Ministry of Rites, of course." Li Xuan sighed lightly and said, "I don't know that the body of the king of Longxi County is getting older and older. There is no one in the clan to replace him for a while, and there is naturally someone in charge for a period of time in the middle, and Liu Siqing is the most suitable person. ”

"I see." Yuan Ming nodded suddenly, it seems that this time, the emperor is really not simply punishing him, if he can really come back from Tubo alive, then the position of Honglu Temple Qing is already his.

There are more than 300 assassins in the world, but there are only 20 positions in the six departments, nine temples and five prisons.

In the coming and going of the moment, everything is clear.

"Although wealth is sought in danger, it is also lost in danger." Yuan Ming looked at Li Xuan and arched his hand: "Please also ask the prince to show you a way to survive." ”

Li Xuan's expression became solemn, this time it was not an easy thing to go to Tubo.

The death of Mangsong and Mangzan was very tightly concealed by the Tubo people.

Even on the Wuhai front, not many people know about it.

Yuan Ming went to Tubo this time, and if he was not careful, he would cause public anger, whether he could come back alive or not, it is still two words.

"In the whole of Tibet, the only one who can really attack the envoy is on Qinling."

Li Xuan poured a cup of hot tea in front of Yuan Ming, and then said calmly: "As long as you can grasp the weakness of the Qin Ling, then the envoy will naturally be able to return safely." ”

"What a weakness." Yuan Ming couldn't help but lean forward.

Today's On the Qin Tomb, the Tubo Minister, especially after the internal rebellion was quelled, the power of the Qin Tomb has been great to the extreme.

What weaknesses can such a character have?

Li Xuan smiled slightly, then took out a copy of "Three Kingdoms" from under the table and handed it to Yuan Ming, and then said calmly: "Please also ask the envoy to deliver this book to the Qinling Tomb on behalf of the king, so that he can study it carefully." ”

"Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" of the Western Jin Dynasty?" Yuan Ming is a little unclear.

"Please also ask the envoy to help me give a message to the Qinling, just say that the Gar family is the Gar family, and Tubo is Tubo, but the Tang Dynasty will always be the Tang Dynasty that embraces the universe and accommodates the four seas." Li Xuan's eyes raised slightly, and Yuan Ming instantly understood.

"Lord Wang, is this going to stir up discussion about Qinling and Tibet?" Yuan Ming's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Lord Shaoguo doubts, this is an inevitable thing, how Qinling doesn't understand, think about Mangsong Mangzan's life, and how Qinling can be stable one day." The corners of Li Xuan's mouth were slightly raised, and he said softly: "Although the lord of Tubo is young now, there will always be a day when he will grow up.

The milk tiger and the old wolf, who lives and who dies, are not so difficult to see. ”

Yuan Ming nodded seriously, many thoughts had already flashed in his mind, his eyes fell on the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he said softly: "The prince's strategy is really extraordinary." ”

"In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the most outstanding people are none other than three people, Zhuge Kongming, Cao Mengde, and Sima Yi." Li Xuan said softly: "Now it depends on whether Qinling wants to be Zhuge Kongming, or Cao Mengde and Sima Yi?" ”

"I'm afraid he didn't have a choice." Yuan Ming took a deep breath, stood up, and arched his hand: "Thank you for the advice, when he returns from Tibet in the future, he will definitely have a few drinks with the prince." ”

"You're welcome." Li Xuan stood up and said softly, "The residence has been prepared in the back." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Yuan Ming followed Li Xuan and walked towards the backyard, and asked at the same time, "Lord Wang, what is next, ......?"

"Go to Fuqi City and participate in the restoration of Tuyuhun." Li Xuan's eyes were slightly cold, and he said: "Now, in the entire Qinghai, I don't know how many people are staring at Xuan, so the chief manager decided to use Xuan as bait, and lead Qinling's gaze to Tuyuhun, and then the envoy suddenly attacked to vent the enemy's anger." ”

Yuan Ming's face was a little strange, although this strategy sounded like that, but it was not necessary to let such a good hand as Li Xuan go.

What was Liu Xianli thinking in his heart?

Are these court scholars so jealous of the clan?

You know, this is the front of the army!

Yuan Ming stopped and asked, "What about after the incident in Fu Qi City?" ”

"If the Pengcheng County Duke successfully takes Wuhai, Xuan will lead the army to the east, contain the attention of the Tubo people, and at the same time, open up the road to Songzhou, converge with the Yizhou army, and completely stabilize the situation in Qingdong, so that even if Wuhai is lost, Xuan can recapture it." Li Xuan's eyes had a hint of firmness in his eyes.

Yuan Ming understood in an instant.

In this battle, the king of Nanchang is going to start another way.
