Of course Qin Huaidao knew that it would be risky to hand over 100,000 troops to Lun Qinling, but he was even more worried about handing them all to Jiumoji. Although Jiumoji had no other thoughts at the moment, people's hearts are unpredictable and he needed someone to check and balance. Lun Qinling was not
The best candidate, but also a suitable candidate, immediately said: "Go and gather the remaining 100,000 troops, serve as the temporary general manager of the seventh army, lead the troops south, guard Nanzhao, and look for opportunities to capture it."
"Sir, do you believe me?" Lun Qinling looked at Qin Huaidao in disbelief.
Of course Qin Huaidao didn't believe it, but the remaining 100,000 troops were also the troops of the Ludongzan family. No one was more suitable to talk about Qinling.
Like is more or less a personal relationship. I give you a chance. It depends on whether you can seize it. If you want to rebel, I can defeat you once, but I can defeat you twice or three times. What do you think?"
Lun Qinling was not angry, but instead solemnly saluted: "In any case, thank you for giving me the opportunity. I will definitely seize it. I am worthy of your trust."
"Go say goodbye to your brother and leave immediately. I hope that next time we meet, we can have a good time over wine instead of a sword fight!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Lun Qinling bowed gratefully again, feeling a little moved that a man would die for his confidant. He turned around and left. His steps were a little weak, but his fists were clenched and his eyes were firm. It felt so good to be trusted by others!
Not long after, Lun Qinling came to another side hall where officials were imprisoned, found Zan Xiruo, signaled him to come out, and walked outside to the garden. Although Qin Huaidao imprisoned officials uniformly, he was only under house arrest and was given a certain degree of freedom of movement.
Zan Xiruo looked around and saw that there was no one around, and asked impatiently: "How is the lobbying going?"
"It has been successful." Lun Qinling responded quickly, and then explained the process in detail, and then said that during the interview just now, Qin Huaidao's appointment of Jiumoji was the last to trust him, and finally added: "Brother, you
Good at planning, analysis, and talking, what do you mean by Mr. Qin?"
Zan Xiruo really didn't expect that Qin Huaidao would re-enable his brother. He was a little confused for a while. After thinking carefully for a while, his face became serious and he warned: "Master Qin is not worried about giving the remaining 100,000 to my uncle. Let you
There are checks and balances in it, but no matter what, things have changed in Tubo. There is no slavery anymore. Farms are divided into households. Life has changed drastically. Our family will also sink. This is the only chance for the family. You must control this.
If we build an army and capture Nanzhao, the glory of the family can be restored, otherwise, it will only sink day by day."
"I understand, what about you?"
"Go with peace of mind. I have no chance. The family will depend on you from now on. As long as you fight well, your family will not die. Remember, no matter what happens in the future, your allegiance must be to Mr. Qin, not
Tang State." Zan Xiruo reminded solemnly.
"Ah... why?" He was a little confused about Qin Ling being bad at politics.
Zan Xiruo looked around carefully and warned in a voice that could only be heard by Lun Qinling: "Have you forgotten what my father told me before he left? The Tang Kingdom is not united, and it is not certain how it will change in the future. But Mr. Qin is young.
You have outstanding abilities and an unpredictable future. There are some things I cannot tell you too clearly. You just need to remember one thing. No matter when you are loyal to Mr. Qin and have Mr. Qin as your backer, your family will last long, otherwise it will be destroyed."
"Remember." Qinling has always been convinced of his brother's plans.
The two brothers chatted for a while, and then a village guard came up to appoint a document. Lun Qinling took the document and left.
Zan Xiruo watched his brother leave, pondered for a moment, and came to the side hall to ask for Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao had already predicted that Zan Xiruo would come, and after being led in, he pretended to be casual and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Thank you, sir, for giving my family the opportunity." Zan Xiruo saluted solemnly.
"Have you made it clear to your second brother?"
"It's clear." Zan Xiruo said quickly. From the mention of Qin Ling that Qin Huaidao asked him to find it, he guessed Qin Huaidao's intention.
Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "You are a smart man, no less than your father. The publicity of Zhenguan Law is not enough. I wonder if you are qualified for this job?"
Zan Xiruo's eyes lit up, and she solemnly agreed: "Thank you, young master, for making it happen. I guarantee it will be completed."
Qin Huaidao saw that the title had changed again, which was a sign of loyalty, and he said with satisfaction: "I will give you a chance to do a good job in publicity, and I will officially accept you as a staff member."
"Thank you, Sir." Zan Xiruo changed his title again, not because he didn't want to follow Qin Huaidao, but to express his attitude and change his name again after the publicity matters were done.
When smart people get along, one sentence is enough.
Qin Huaidao waved his hand and said, "You are allowed to choose twenty people as assistants."
The people selected meant that they would be part of the team in the future. More importantly, everyone was imprisoned with no hope of survival. Once selected, they would have a chance. Qin Huaidao gave the opportunity to Zan Xiruo. In fact, he did not know who was talented and was too lazy to do so.
They went to inquire one by one, but Zan Xiruo mistakenly thought it was trust, and felt inexplicably warm in his heart.
Zan Xiruo, who was taught intrigues and intrigues by his father Lu Dongzan since he was a child. He didn't believe anyone except his family. He felt trust inexplicably, strange but warm. He had never felt it before. He felt certain in his heart. He solemnly said: "Don't worry, sir. I will choose to be loyal to you sincerely."
, but there are really talented and practical people to help.”
"Go." Qin Huaidao waved his hand and said to a team leader of the village protection team: "Take your people and protect Zan Xiruo without making any mistakes."
Even protection is surveillance.
If Zan Xi was so smart, how could he not see through it, but he did not refuse and hurried out the door.
Qin Huaidao watched Zan Xiruo leave and disappeared outside the palace door. He chuckled and said: "He is indeed a smart man, and his decisiveness is no less than that of Lu Dongzan. I hope he will not take the wrong path."
"I wonder what's going on in Chang'an?"
As he said that, Qin Huaidao looked to the east, and the beautiful images of He'er and Yuzhang flashed in his mind. He felt warm in his heart. If you care about someone, you will have a home. This feeling is so good!
At this time, Duan Zan hurried in, saluted and asked: "Sir, now that the 300,000 troops in the east are in crisis contact, should Zhang Yu and Xue Rengui continue to station troops outside, or should they withdraw? What should we do with the tens of thousands of troops outside the city?
Arrangement? Do you want Touya to continue production?"
The threat is basically gone, but some things do need to be readjusted.
Qin Huaidao thought for a while and said: "Wait two days, and the scouts will disperse to conduct reconnaissance in all directions, just in case. If Jiumoji and Lun Qinling really go south, then withdraw Zhang Yu and the others. As for the garrison outside the city, they will be transferred in two days."
Lift troops and station troops along the line of Namtso Lake to prevent the situation to the north, where there are still hundreds of thousands of troops whose attitude is unknown."
"Okay, then just wait two days to be on the safe side. Where's Touya?"
"Rushi has suspended production. These few days will be sufficient for a long time. After settling the wages, we will let everyone leave and go back to farming. Tubo is too short of food."
"Okay, I will take care of it soon, general. Any other orders?" Duan Zan promised solemnly. After spending time together, he found that Qin Huaidao could kill the enemy when he mounted his horse, and he could govern the country when he dismounted. Qin Huaidao could easily solve the people's livelihood problems that he was unable to solve.
He came up with several solutions, all of which were effective and won the hearts of the people, who were full of admiration.
Qin Huaidao didn't pay much attention to Duan Zan's thoughts. After thinking about it, he warned: "Secretly prepare a batch of dry food. It is estimated that the imperial edict from the imperial court will arrive soon, and we will have to take the Tubo royal family and nobles back to use on the way."
"Understood!" Duan Zan agreed, and when he thought of something, he couldn't help but ask: "Sir, will the imperial court send someone to take over Tubo? How will we arrange it?"
"This is a matter of the Holy One. You can't presume to speculate on the Holy Will. Let's wait for the Holy Decree."
"My lord is teaching you not to make arrangements here." Duan Zan left from then on.
Qin Huaidao looked at Duan Zan's back and smiled bitterly. Although Tubo was captured, who will manage it and how it will be managed? I'm afraid the court may not be able to come up with regulations for a while, but it has nothing to do with him. He will go back with the imperial edict. It's too cold and desolate here.
If you are poor and lack everything, how can you be as comfortable as the colorful world of Chang'an.
After being busy for a while, Qin Huaidao walked out of the side hall, walked along the main street to the city gate, climbed up the city wall, and saw Zan Xiruo coming with some people. Under the protection of the village guard team, he left the city and headed straight out of the city. Everyone had a copy of "
Law of Zhenguan".
Tubo did a lot of research for its rival, the Tang Dynasty, and the laws were among them. They bought back many "Zhenguan Laws" through caravans. Who would have thought that one day they would come in handy and become Tubo's laws?
A captain guarding the city came up curiously and asked: "Sir, what are they?"
"The newly appointed law popularization team will promote our laws to the Tubo people." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
The captain also laughed when he heard this: "My lord, this is a good idea. They understand the local language and can communicate easily. It can save a lot of trouble. My lord, the brothers are all talking about it. Tubo has basically won. Should we withdraw?"
"Want to go back?" Qin Huaidao asked with a smile, but his heart became formal. If it was just a general discussion and the captain did not dare to say it, it must have become a trend and must be taken seriously.
The captain nodded awkwardly, but did not dare to say anything more.
Qin Huaidao understood that once the army started to miss him, it would be difficult for him to fight or return home. Fortunately, the Tubo War was basically over. He said with a smile: "Tell brothers, if you keep at it, the imperial decree will arrive in a short time."
"
"Follow the order, thank you for your sympathy."
"It doesn't matter, I also want to go back." Qin Huaidao, who is also a soldier, certainly understands everyone's thoughts.
When the captain saw that Qin Huaidao was so approachable and easy to talk to, unlike other generals who suppressed everyone's ideas, strictly controlled, and had no human feelings, his favorable impression doubled and he smiled gratefully.
The soldiers around me heard what he said and smiled knowingly.
