But even if everything is ready, Li Po will not become king at this time.
Everything is fake these days, which is exactly what was said later, political power comes from the barrel of a gun, and when war is imminent, everything must be moved to the back.
Li Po spent this new year busy. The Wei government and military power were closely linked. This situation may not change for a long time in the future.
Therefore, at the end of winter, it is also a top priority to reorganize the army gathered in Jiangjun, Linfen, and Xihe counties.
To put it simply, the eight guards were divided into eight divisions, and together with the generals of the guards and Li Po's own troops, the hierarchy of Li Po's army finally became clear.
Almost as soon as the new year passed, Li Po immediately ordered Yuwen Huo and others to lead his troops south, and also ordered Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng to join forces from Linfen to Jiangjun.
The weather was still very cold at this time, but the flames of war were already faintly burning.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Li Po met two Turks sent by Yuen Long. In addition to telling Li Po the good news that his mother-in-law had broken her son, they also came to complain to Li Po.
The completion time of Cangshui City on the bank of Cangshui was delayed again. Several apprentices sent by He Chou reduced the already formed Cangshui City to a mess, and large-scale reconstruction was inevitable.
In addition, the Turkic Khan's camp moved northward, which made Yuen Long unable to bear the loneliness and wanted to expand pastures in Yunzhong.
Speaking of which, there are already hundreds of thousands of Turkic tribes under his jurisdiction. The total population of Mayi County has expanded rapidly in recent years. Once Cangshui City is built, it will be able to accommodate some people, but the pastures are gradually insufficient.
Therefore, large groups of cattle and sheep have to be sent to Loufan and Yanmen northern pastures for feeding, which makes Yuen Long very distressed.
So he planned to tentatively expand into Yunzhong. Anyway, the Turkic Khan's tent had moved north, so the Yunnei Turkic tribes with unified jurisdiction would become the most powerful force on the grasslands from Yunzhong to Yunnei.
Of course, you don't need to ask Li Po to know that the people around Yuen Long didn't give him good ideas. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent someone to tell him just after Li Po ordered him to be on guard against the Turkic tribes in Yunzhong a few years ago.
This matter.
Hearing this, Li Po sighed secretly in his heart, damn, the child is too old to be taken care of anymore.
Li Po thought for a while. He and Yuen Long hadn't seen each other for several years since he went south to Yanmen. Did he give this guy too much power?
Yuen Long is younger than him, but his power is already above everyone else. This is undoubtedly due to his trust in Yuen Long. You know, from the time Li Po entered the county government until he reached the Heng'an Town Army, he finally
The three trusted people are actually Li Chun, Li Bi and Yuen Long.
One is his sister, one is his wife, and the other is his cousin. It can be said that they have been with him from beginning to end.
But now, Yuen Long's proposal suddenly made him have doubts.
This was not only because Yuen Long was proposing something that was completely contrary to the order given to him, but also because of this, he also doubted Yuan Long's ability. In addition, the Turkic tribes and the Yunnei garrison led by Yuen Long were from Jin.
The first line of defense dared to hold him back at the critical moment when he was sending troops south.
Is this meant to be a threat?
It can be seen that trust is as fragile as paper in the face of power.
Of course, Li Po did not believe that Yuen Long had ulterior motives and would be detrimental to him. He just felt that some arrangements needed to be made at this time to prevent Yuen Long from becoming powerful in Mayi.
He understands human nature very well. Today Yuen Long will send someone to tell him this, but tomorrow he may ignore his orders and do something.
There are not many examples like this. Just like him, he just thought better back then, but now, he is facing life and death with Li. If he still leads thousands of people,
Will it make it this far?
There is always no end to human desires. Why did Yang Guanggui, as the emperor, use all his strength to conquer the country? Isn't it because of desire?
Therefore, being on guard against subtle changes is what a qualified superior must do, and ruthless suspicion is also one of the qualities they are bound to possess.
Is Yuen Long unlucky? He is indeed quite unlucky. He made a very inappropriate suggestion at an inappropriate time.
To say that he is innocent? That is also nonsense. This is not a sign of his eagerness to make contributions because he holds great power.
The people sent by Yuen Long immediately turned Li Po's attention to Mayi, and he would never allow any problems to arise in Mayi at such a critical moment.
Then Li Po sent a letter home to Jinyang and asked Li Bi to handle the matter. This saved Yuen Long a little face and treated it as a family matter.
If not, Li Po could only send an order to get Yuen Long to serve in the army.
This was a rather unexpected and unfortunate thing. Needless to say, Li Po was annoyed with Yuen Long. What was especially distressing was that he couldn't show it out, so Li Po immediately marked it in Yuen Long's heart.
An account.
However, the two people sent by Yuen Long are quite interesting. They are both young. One is named Ashina Qingyun and the other is named Kuqa.
These two Turkic teenagers are considered adults among the Turks.
Li Po was no stranger to them. This was the trophy he took from heading north to the Yunzhong Grassland the year before last. Needless to say, Kuqa, who was as strong as a calf, would definitely be a standard Turkic warrior in the future. His wolf-like eyes made him laugh.
His courageous spirit is ready to burst out.
The other one is the descendant of the Turkic nobles who is peculiar and speaks very insightfully.
Now that they came to Li Po again, they were already very different from the two unknown people by the Huangqihai Lake.
Ashina Qingyun wandered among the Turkic tribes for more than a year, faithfully fulfilled his original promise to Li Po, and successfully deified Li Po among some Turkic tribes.
Relying on the support of Yuen Long, he held the position of great shaman in more than ten Turkic tribes and regarded Li Po as his divine envoy.
It can be said that Ashina Qingyun is now a successful magic stick and enjoys a high reputation among the Turkic tribes captured by Li Po.
Kuqa, with his fearless spirit except for the gods, has gradually become prominent among the Turkic tribes. He is now one of Yuen Long's personal guards.
Gold was unearthed and finally began to shine.
They led 500 people to Jinyang to protect the gifts that Yuen Long gave to their sister and brother-in-law, and then went south to Jiangjun to meet Li Po, so they were all kept by Li Po's side.
According to Ashina Qingyun, this is the best reward for them. Of course, just listen to what the magic stick has to say. This rather slippery Turkic boy looks a bit like Li Po back in the day.
It's just that they lack some of the Han people's subtlety and restraint, and when flattering, they seem a bit flattering and not "sincere" enough.
