Abalasha was very clear about the situation in the Western Regions. Wadahan was originally a down-and-out prince with almost no status within Gaochang, but now this guy has become the king of Gaochang.
Of course, this king is not so easy to be king. The Tang Dynasty helped a lot in the middle. Is Gaochang still an independent country now? The Tang Dynasty has the final say on almost everything, including border defense, and the Tang Dynasty is still there.
Gaochang has granted two more kings, and now it is a situation where three kings stand in a powerful position. Even if you become that king, you do not have much rights.
However, this still has a great attraction for Abalasha. Now Abalasha is just a prime minister. This is just an official position and cannot be hereditary. When his son grows up, if he has the ability,
There is still a way, if you don't have the ability, you will be a rich man.
Even if you are a puppet for Datang, that position can be carried out. We have been loyal to Datang for generations. Will Datang be replaced by someone else? This should not be possible. If it is replaced by someone else,
It was not good for the Tang Dynasty either, as they had to rely on local people to rule the area.
"Your Highness, is this guy reliable?"
Yuchi Baolin said with some worry, Abalasha is a thoughtful person. Yuchi Baolin is not worried about this guy's ability to settle external matters, but is he of the same mind as us? Although we detain this guy's son
I live here, but I am familiar with some old tricks of nobles. Many nobles have illegitimate children outside, but they have not been found out. They will only be found out when the family is in danger.
"We have to bet now. We have no other way now. If this guy wants to go further, he will be of the same mind as us. This is an opportunity for him."
Li Xiang said helplessly, Li You must be responsible for the current situation. According to Li Xiang's original plan, you can find trouble in the Western Regions. As long as we find the reason, we can slowly bully them.
.
I didn’t expect you were looking for something like this. Not only is there no way to bully others, but it may also corrupt the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, and even make everyone think that the Tang Dynasty is not serious. If you kill someone for this matter,
It is very likely that the Western Turks will gather armies from various countries. When the time comes, we will not take advantage of the war. After all, our war is unjust.
If it were in an area where the Tang Dynasty had the upper hand, Li Xiang could use public opinion war to turn black and white, but now we don't have much power in the entire Western Region, and it takes time to slowly penetrate, so public opinion war cannot be fought here, and it will be ours if we really fight it.
defeat.
In this case, we can only do our best and listen to fate. Although this is not in line with Li Xiang's usual way of doing things, this is the only way we can do it now.
"My brothers did a good job just now. I will reward them with three months' salary."
Li Xiang suddenly remembered that the army under his command was small in number, but they were absolutely 100% faithful in executing orders.
"I obey my orders."
Hearing that his soldiers were rewarded, although Yuchi Baolin was not mentioned, this guy also felt light on his face. This was all trained by him. Rewarding the soldiers is equivalent to rewarding him. For noble children like them
, the most important thing is official position and glory, but for ordinary soldiers, the most important thing is the money in their wallets.
After living in the Western Regions for several months, going through wind and rain every day, after returning to their hometown, the money was enough for them to marry a wife and live a happy life. It was precisely because of the seniors in front of them and the young people behind them.
Only people are willing to come out and make this money.
When Li Xiang was about to go back, he happened to see that coward Li You. Just now when the whole army was preparing for battle, this guy actually ran under the carriage. He felt that his tent would not last long, but the carriage was very
It's sturdy, so just hide under the carriage for a while.
Not only did Li Xiang look down on this guy, everyone including Eunuch Han had contempt on their faces.
Li Xiang also wondered in his heart, is this guy really Li Shimin's son? Or maybe it is said that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, but you are too far behind. When your father was fighting in the country, he was also a great hero.
Why are you so cowardly here?
Li You also knew that Li Xiang looked down on him, so he usually tried to stay away, but now he was really worried. He had asked several generals just now, but none of them could tell him that he was ugly.
Maybe he had to bite the bullet and come over to feed Li Xiang.
"It was really dangerous just now. Fortunately, your command was better. Otherwise, we wouldn't know what would have happened. What should we do next?"
Li You laughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, but when he saw that no one around him was smiling, he knew there was no need to hide it. He just asked the question directly and left here.
For a second, Li You felt uncomfortable all over.
"Go back to your tent and live your life honestly. Don't come out unless I tell you."
Li Xiang said a few words, and then prepared to go to his tent. There is no respect for seniority at all. Although you are an elder, looking at the nonsense you have done, it is really disrespectful.
Stealing someone's wife is a disgusting thing no matter where you are.
"If it can be solved, I think the princess..."
When Li You said this, Li Xiang still felt that this guy had a conscience and knew how to care about that woman. But now Li Xiang is too lazy to give him a good face. Everyone is worried here, and you are still thinking about yours.
mistress.
"Your Majesty, please go back quickly. Your Majesty, please go back quickly!"
This shocked Eunuch Han. He had seen it just now. Li Xiang almost commanded his army to start a fight with others. All of this was brought about by Li You. Now don't you ask all the soldiers in the army?
, I don’t even ask Li Xiang himself, but he still thinks about that woman. If this spreads out, will you still be able to hang out in Datang?
Li You instantly realized that he was wrong. Fortunately, Li Xiang didn't argue with him. If this matter were made public, he would not be able to reap his benefits when they reached Chang'an City. Everyone in the army was fighting for
You are preparing for things, and you are about to fight with others. What you are thinking about is a Western Turkic woman. No matter what the relationship between you is, you put your brothers in danger for a woman. What are you doing?
