Chapter 159 Su's Guards
After the battle against He Lu, Su Xiaoshuai was granted a lot of officials by Li Zhi. Now his official title is "Kaifu Yi Tong Sansi, the ancestral supervisor of Situ, the sect of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, the sect of the Dayuezhi Grand Protectorate, and the Duke of Lu Guo".
Yes, the Great Yuezhi Protectorate has been promoted and has become a unit on par with the Anxi Great Yuezhi Protectorate. King Su Ananda, the conferred king of Xiaobolu, was the governor of the Guiren Governor's Office, and Balus was the governor of the Persian Governor's Office, and all were controlled by the Great Yuezhi Protectorate.
After the military affairs were rectified, Su Xiaoshuai went to Chang'an to welcome the Tang Dynasty princess to the wedding.
How to say this reward is quite generous, but after hearing this, Li Renfu was very worried, afraid that Xiaoshuai would refuse to give it to him.
Because the reward did not mention the original title of King Dayuezhi. However, you have already established the official Yitong Sansi, and you are at the level of prime minister. You are at the highest position and the highest position. You are not much bigger than the original vassal king?
The Great Yuezhi Protectorate was upgraded, and it seemed that he had become an official. Not only did he officially recognize Xiao Bolu's identity as a vassal, but he also granted Persia to Xiaoshuai.
However, Persia is empty and has to fight it. In this battle to destroy Helu, Xiaoshuai occupied a lot of Western Turkish territory, such as Qianquan and so on.
The Great Yuezhi Massive Protector has become the same unit as the Great Anxi Massive Protector, which means that Xiaoshuai has to spit out the land he has captured and hand it over to the Great Anxi Massive Protector for management.
As a warlord, the strength of territory is the most important thing, and the rest are false names. Can Xiaoshuai give up the territory he obtained for those false names, at most hundreds of households of Duke Lu?
Unexpectedly, Xiaoshuai answered the order happily and thanked the saints for their kindness on the phone. This surprised Li Renfu. Did he think wrong? Su Xiaoshuai is actually a loyal minister?
How could he know that Xiaoshuai could spit out thousands of springs happily, the main reason was that Li Zhi had conferred the Protectorate of Su Ding Fang Mengchi Protectorate.
He had already had a long talk with his ancestors and reached an intention to cooperate to revitalize the Su family. This transfer of Qianquan from himself to Su Dingfang was the same thing for the Su family.
Even if the Tang Dynasty's Binchi Guardians will be replaced in the future, Xiaoshuai will not suffer a lot. Xiaoshuai now has no shortage of territory, and a large number of land under his rule are empty. What is lacking is people. Only with people can one have national strength.
The Western Turkic territory occupied by Xiaoshuai was in a prominent shape and wedged into the territory of the Binchi Protectorate. If it really conflicted with the Tang Dynasty, it would be lost immediately. The front line was too long and it was difficult to defend.
The Tang Dynasty used the nominal Persian territory to exchange for Qianquan, which was exactly the same as Xiaoshuai's wishes. Going north was desolate grasslands and deserts, with no future of development. Going south to the Persian Gulf is the center of competition for major forces in the world.
If Xiao Shuai's current territory population is stable, he will have the strength to participate in the world stage competition of 80,000 or 90,000 troops. It is not cost-effective to send many soldiers to guard a desolate wedge-shaped territory in this world with many open spaces.
Of course, I have suffered all the losses, so I still have to make trouble. Xiaoshuai found Su Dingfang, "Old ancestor, I am going to lead my troops back to Kangju now.
This time, the Dayuezhi Kingdom did not expand any territory, and it was completely dedicated to the Tang Dynasty. You said that if the Turkic herders on those territory voluntarily nomads to the fertile Two Rivers area, the Tang Dynasty should not be able to control it, right?"
Su Dingfang laughed, "You boy are more ghost than me. Who can control where the nomadic people are willing to go? If you are willing to go with you, you can take it with you.
To be honest, this time the Tang army fought hard and you picked the fruit. The threat from the north was gone. In Qianquan, you copied He Lu's family's fortune? Tell me how much money you made?
Forget it, you don’t have to look at me like this. My ancestors are not greedy people. You should take away those treasures. But I heard that you sent troops this time and brought enough food and grass. As a result, He Lu was destroyed in one battle, and a large amount of food and grass was still stored in Qianquan.
The food and grass are transported around, and the loss is very great. You might as well leave it to me. I want to rule the Mengchi Protectorate. Wealth cannot be eaten or drunk, but food, grass, cattle and sheep are what we need in front of us.
I won’t take your food and grass for vain. Didn’t you sign an agreement with He Lu to exchange grenades for grain and grass? This agreement is still counting. I use wool to pay for your food and grass money. You give me the method of making grenades for free. You are not suffering a loss, right?"
Xiaoshuai forgot for a long time, but he still suffered a loss. However, the grenade strengthened the power of the Su family to his ancestors. He was a child of the Su family, and it seemed that he should be...
Su Dingfang patted Xiaoshuai on the shoulder, "I took your grenade, gunpowder technology, it won't spread.
I see that you have red beards under your hands, so I'm not at ease. My five hundred personal soldiers have followed me for many years, and have gathered my efforts and given them to you. The future of Su's family depends on you."
Xiaoshuai knelt down with a thud, "Thank you for your ancestors."
It is difficult to calculate whether Su Dingfang's grenade exchanges for the personal army is profitable or not for the Great Yuezhi Kingdom, but it is very suitable for Su Xiaoshuai.
Su Dingfang's five hundred personal troops had unparalleled combat power in the world. Su Dingfang relied on them to break 20,000 and destroy 50,000.
These five hundred people were not soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but servants of the Su family, and were not from Shiping. Many of them were fellow villagers brought by Su Dingfang from his hometown of Wuyi, Jizhou, so Su Ding had the right to send them out.
The Su family did not have much money. Cultivating these servants almost exhausted all their savings and took Su Dingfang's countless efforts. This was the investment of the generals in the future, and they gave Xiaoshuai all at once, which showed that Su Dingfang had completely recognized the identity of Xiaoshuai's Su family's children.
Each of the five hundred people can fight, but more importantly, they are very reliable. They are loyal to the Su family. They are named the Su family Guards by Xiaoshuai. They are temporarily taken by their side as guards, mainly to get to know each other.
After getting familiar with these Su family fellows, these people can be sent to the army as officers. The little coach ruled the whole world, and with these five hundred people, he could firmly control all the troops under his command.
The imperial court issued an order, "All the lords, the seals, etc., and you don't have to send people to the Western Regions, and you will be given a gift when the Xiaoshuai goes to Chang'an to welcome the princess."
The Su family had two Dukes who had fully mastered the Western Regions, and the government and the country were envious. A censor immediately came to the book, believing that the Su family might be the dominant and develop a sense of disobedience.
The saint and Changsun Wuji and other high-ranking officials suppressed this kind of cry. In their eyes, Xiao Shuai, the Su family's son, was fake, and was stuffed into the Su family by the saint. Su Dingfang was very dissatisfied at the time. Now you see, didn't Su Dingfang want Qianquan back?
Li Zhi enthroned Su Dingfang in the Western Regions, so that he could monitor Su Xiaoshuai nearby and curb Su Xiaoshuai. As for Su Xiaoshuai and Su Dingfang who really recognized their relatives, no one knew that.
Su Dingfang had the food and supplies left by Xiaoshuai, and the work of the Mengchi Protectorate was easier to do.
Passage roads, stations, bury bones, and ask about their sufferings. All those who were plundered by He Lu were returned, and the Western Regions were then pacified. Su Dingfang also firmly settled this escort, building the former territory of the Western Turks into a practical controlled territory directly under the Tang Dynasty, and extending the direct power of the Tang Dynasty to the Aral Sea.
The young coach bid farewell to Su Dingfang and led a large army back to Kangju. He also brought a large number of Turkic herders who immigrated to the Zhaowu Jiuzhai area, and his national strength increased greatly.
When the Northern War ended, everyone was rewarded. The next step was to consider going to Chang'an.
