Chapter two hundred and twenty first order in danger(2/2)
The Tianwei Army was the 30,000 garrison in Shibao City, composed of the elite troops of the three Jiedu prefectures of Longyou, Shuofang and Hexi. It should be said that Li Qing'an's request was not excessive. In the 18th year of Kaiyuan, the Hexi Jiedushi Niu Xianke was ordered to attack Ye, so he mobilized the 60,000 troops of Shuofang, Hexi and Longyou. With this precedent, Li Longji was not easy to refuse.
However, Yang Guozhong was a little anxious. He and Geshuhan had a fierce fight recently. Seeing that Geshuhan was about to become his sphere of influence, Li Qingan snatched the army and snatched Geshuhan's 30,000 elite troops. Geshuhan would definitely blame him for not stopping it.
Yang Guozhong quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I object to this plan."
Originally, Zhang Yun wanted to object, but Yang Guozhong took the lead, so he couldn't speak, so he remained silent. Li Linfu knew very well that Geshuhan would surrender to Yang Guozhong again. If he could take this opportunity to hit Geshuhan, he would also be happy to see this, so he remained silent.
Yang Guozhong walked out of his seat, stood beside Li Qing'an, knelt down and kowtowed, "I am worried that the removal of Longyou elites will affect the pressure on Tubo. Now that Tubo has supported Nanzhao, it shows that his ambition is rekindled. I believe that it must not be taken lightly. I can propose an alternative solution, and I can move another 30,000 military households to Anxi, and allow Li envoys to recruit 30,000 troops to prepare for war."
Yang Guozhong's words also make some sense, so Li Longji asked Li Qing'an with a smile: "What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, the distance from the water cannot quench the nearest thirst! And I also request that the families of the 30,000 Tianwei Army be moved to Anxi together."
A sentence reminded Li Longji. He pondered for a moment and said, "If I agree to my beloved's request, my beloved will also give me a time limit. How long does it take to regain the Broken Leaf?"
"I promise that if I obtain the Tianwei Army, I can regain the Broken Leaf within one year."
Li Longji's heart suddenly became hot. He was eager to regain Thunder Leaf to make up for the dissatisfaction of the court and the country, so he generously agreed: "Okay! I will appoint you as the Tianwei Army envoy. From now on, the Tianwei Army will be stationed in Beiting. He ordered Geshuhan to recruit another new army and change his name to Zhenwu Army."
Li Longji was in a good mood. He looked at Li Qing'an and Yang Guozhong who were fighting side by side, and suddenly had an interest in comparing the two.
These two people were almost the same for the time of officialdom and had similar appearances. When they were officials, they formed enemies and had constant conflicts. He used these two as a reference. Li Qing'an was appointed as the governor of Beiting, so he intended to make Yang Guozhong the governor of Jiannan. Now both of them are important officials of the court, and Yang Guozhong has been promoted to prime minister.
But after a few years, the two stood together again, and Li Longji found that they were very different. In terms of age, Yang Guozhong was ten years older than Li Qing'an, but his temperament seemed to be twenty years older. Yang Guozhong was bloated and fat, slow, and his excessive wine and color were revealed. Li Qing'an was shining with a bright spirit, straight waist, and still maintained the unique firmness and courage of a soldier, but a bit of maturity was added between his eyebrows, which made Li Longji suddenly think of Wang Zhongsi.
People are so strange. When Wang Zhongsi was alive, he hated him very much, but after he was sentenced to death, he missed Wang Zhongsi's heroic spirit back then.
He felt a little sad in his heart, and asked Li Qingan gently: "I heard that Li Aiqing has not married yet, is there a suitable person?"
Li Qingan bowed and said, "I have made my lifelong life with the eldest daughter of Dugu family Mingyue. I hope Your Majesty will fulfill it."
‘Dugu Mingyue?’
Li Longji forgot about it. He pondered for a moment and suddenly remembered that Dugu Mingyue was not a relative of Geluo, but because Li Qing'an killed Prince Geluo, the matter was left unresolved.
He smiled apologetically and said, "I am not handling that matter. I promise you to officially cancel the marriage between Dugu Mingyue and Ge Luolu."
"I thank Your Majesty!"
"Okay! The matter of shattering leaves is urgent. I can only give you three days off to deal with the matters in Chang'an, and then set off for the Western Regions immediately."
Leaving Zichen Hall, the sky was sunny and the gentle autumn sun shone on him. Li Qingan suddenly felt dazzling. He let out a long sigh. Beiting, he was finally able to return to his dream homeland again.
Life is a spiral ascent. When he returns to the starting point, he realizes that he has stood higher than before.
"Qilang!",
Suddenly someone called him a nickname behind him. Li Qingan turned around and saw Li Linfu running out of breath. He hurriedly bowed: "I heard that the Prime Minister was in poor health a few days ago, what's going on now?"
Li Linfu likes Li Qing'an, and others call him Prime Minister Li, but Li Qing'an still calls him Prime Minister. He stepped forward and smiled and patted Li Qing'an on the shoulder and said, "It's not bad! Wherever he fell, where he got up, this is the man who dared to act."
"The Prime Minister has been awarded the award, but I am just a coincidence and I am favored by the emperor."
"Do you know that the high position you can get today is also related to my efforts."
Li Qing'an knew this sentence was the truth. Although it was Li Longji's decision to reinstate his position, he monopolized the military and political power of Anxi and won the Tianwei Army. Li Linfu did not object to this, especially the Tianwei Army. If Li Linfu supported Yang Guozhong, the final outcome would most likely be to adopt Yang Guozhong's plan.
He hurriedly bowed to thank him and said, "Qing'an is remembered by the Prime Minister's love."
"We don't have to be polite, hey! I remember that you came to deliver letters to me for Gao Xianzhi back then, but you were just a small lieutenant, but now you have replaced Gao Xianzhi. Life is impermanent, who would have thought that the black panther skin you hunted is still hanging in my study! Do you want to go and take a look?"
This was Li Linfu's disguised invitation. Li Qingan smiled happily and said, "I'm sorry, just coming to the door with empty hands."
Li Linfu laughed: "You are the best gift for you to come to the door. Let's go! Take my carriage and go with you."
