Listening to Fang Jun's serious advice, he could take advantage of Fang Jun's upcoming trip to the Western Regions and follow Nuohebo's "lessons learned from the past". Lun Qinling was sweating profusely and quickly shook his head: "The Wgar family has been passed down for hundreds of years.
Although there is no so-called heirloom of poetry and etiquette in the Han people, he is honest and trustworthy, but he is also upright and will not go back on his promise. Today, we have concluded an alliance with the commander-in-chief. Although it is only a verbal agreement, we will definitely not act according to the wind, break our promises, let alone break our promises."
Facing Fang Jun, he was really under great pressure.
This young powerful official of the Tang Dynasty was not only very courageous in his killing decisions, but also quick in thinking and broad-minded. This made Lun Qinling, who lacked experience and could not take charge of his own affairs, quite constrained, fearing that he would make mistakes and leave loopholes, and be tricked by Fang Jun.
return.
As for what Fang Jun said about "imitating Nuohebo's mistakes", the Gar family would definitely not do that.
Now that the Gar family occupies Qinghai Lake, its foundation is not stable. There are still many remnants of Tuyuhun entrenched here and there. They need to win over and eliminate them one by one before they can completely control Qinghai Lake. Behind the scenes, Zanpu is watching with eagerness, always searching for the Gar family.
Once he discovers any weaknesses or loopholes, he will definitely launch a thunderous strike without hesitation to completely eliminate the hidden danger of the Gar family that threatens his rule.
For a long time, the Gar family needed the support of the Tang Dynasty to offset the hostility of Zanpu. How could they invade the Tang Dynasty at this time and cause enemies from both sides?
That is truly a path to self-destruction, no matter how stupid a person is, he would not do it.
At present, the Tang Dynasty is unable to sweep away the south of the Qilian Mountains, and it is just in time to use the rise of the Gar family to curb the Tibetan offensive and make it have no worries.
Therefore, as long as the Gar family keeps to itself and develops silently, it will be fine.
Fang Jun laughed, raised his glass to share a drink with Lun Qinling, and asked with a smile: "Although Qinghai Lake is rich in water and grass and has a vast territory, in the final analysis it is located at the crossroads between Tubo and Tang Dynasty. It suffers from both ends and is surrounded by enemies from both sides.
, is not a long-term way. Your Majesty is unparalleled in resourcefulness, and the son you taught is also smart and knowledgeable. Why not go to Guanzhong to buy a manor and move all your wives and children there? The Tang Dynasty has an enlightened policy. Even if it is a foreign race, as long as it is
Those with real talent and knowledge can become officials and military commanders, receive salaries, and be promoted to positions and titles. If you really have this idea, I will recommend it to your majesty and the prince, and the court will definitely use it."
Talking about Qinling makes my heart beat with excitement.
In his early years, my father went on a diplomatic mission to the Tang Dynasty, and was highly regarded by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He promised that if his father was willing to stay in the Tang Dynasty as an official, he would definitely put him to good use, and he was even willing to choose a daughter of the clan to marry him, which shows his sincerity.
If he could move to Guanzhong, he would not be as valued as his father, but with Fang Jun's recommendation and the family's current alliance with the Tang Dynasty, it would not be difficult to occupy a high position.
It's not that he admires the official position of the Tang Dynasty, but that the Gar family is now deeply feared by Zanpu and has to devote itself to the confrontation between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty. To survive in the gap, if you are not careful, you will be
The fate of the entire clan is in danger.
If he could really move to Guanzhong, wouldn't it leave an extra way for the Gar family to survive? Even when the situation is most critical, the family would not be annihilated and their bloodline would not be cut off?
After thinking about it, he didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either. Instead, he said cautiously: "This matter is important. I don't dare to take charge of it. I have to return to Qinghai Lake to ask my father for instructions before I dare to give Marshal Yu a response."
"As it should be."
Fang Jun only proposed an idea and did not think that Lun Qinling could agree immediately.
If the Lun Qinling branch can really be moved to Guanzhong, the alliance between the Tang Dynasty and the Gar family will become even more solid. At least in the next twenty years, the Gar family will act as a buffer between the two countries.
This stunning beauty made Tubo not dare to invade the Tang Dynasty.
Twenty years of gathering was enough for the Tang Dynasty to accumulate enough strength to defeat Tubo in one battle.
…
The two chatted happily, and after a few drinks, the banquet was removed. On Qinling was taken down by the soldiers to rest for a while, and was about to go to Chang'an to visit the prince of the supervising country. After all, no matter what kind of alliance between the two countries, it must be on paper.
Safety, even if it cannot be made public, is still a basis for binding both parties.
Although Fang Jun was a powerful official in the Tang Dynasty and could influence the prince's decision-making, in the end he was just a minister and was not qualified to raise a glass to sign a covenant...
Taking him to Lun Qinling to rest, Fang Jun wrote his ideas on the letter paper at his desk, then put it in an envelope, sealed it with fire paint, and ordered Yuchi Baohuan to be called in.
"Commander, what are your orders?"
Yuchi Baohuan walked into the tent wearing armor, bowed and saluted, and asked respectfully.
Fang Jun handed him the envelope and warned: "This son of Lu Dongzan came to discuss the alliance. I talked with him in detail and roughly agreed on the framework of the alliance, but it still needs to be agreed upon by the political hall and approved by His Highness the Crown Prince."
Approved. You will put down your military affairs and escort Lun Qinling to Chang'an. You must protect him on the way. When you arrive in Chang'an, give this letter to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Yuchi Baohuan took the letter and asked anxiously, "Commander, this letter..."
It stands to reason that such a letter is not a confidential secret, and there is no need for him, the Hexi general, to go to Chang'an in person to present it to His Royal Highness.
Since Fang Jun asked him to go by name, he must have other intentions...
Sure enough, Fang Jun nodded with a smile and said: "In the letter, I listed your merits in this battle and personally asked His Highness the Crown Prince for your merits. Although the responsibility of describing the merits lies with the Ministry of War, there will be no mistakes, but so far
When the empire is in turmoil and powerful enemies are around, the court should give many praises to those who bravely fight in order to boost morale. Perhaps, through Zongzheng Temple's negotiation, a low-ranking title can be obtained..."
"Thank you so much for your recommendation, Commander-in-Chief! This kindness and virtue are so unforgettable that even if you tie a knot of grass with your fingers, you will never be able to repay him!"
Yuchi Baohuan's face flushed with excitement, and he immediately knelt down on one knee, extremely excited.
Although he is a descendant of the Yuchi family, how can he get the Yuchi family's title? Not only can't he get the title, but he can't even get a share of the family's property.
Being able to become the guard of a county in Hexi Province is already the biggest help his family has given him. His future career depends on his own hard work, and he has no hope of receiving the care of family resources.
This is evident from the fact that he never had the opportunity to participate in the Eastern Expedition...
It's hard to get promoted, let alone a title?
But considering His Highness the Crown Prince's great reliance on Fang Jun, is there any reason why the generals recommended by Fang Jun should not be reused? Now the Crown Prince has the power to supervise the country. He can not only appoint and remove officials, but also confer titles to reward meritorious ministers.
What's more, the person responsible for reviewing titles is Zongzheng Temple, and Zongzheng of Zongzheng Temple is none other than Fang Jun's brother-in-law, His Royal Highness the King of Han...
I submitted this recommendation letter, why would it be returned?
Even if he can't even be rated as the lowest-ranking founding county man, his rank will definitely be greatly improved. If he can be promoted to a Qingqi Captain... that will be a rank from the fourth rank!
If placed in the army, he would be the deputy general of an army...
Fang Jun was much more calm. He nodded slightly and warned: "Although I recommend you, the credit for this achievement is that you fought out from the sea of blood on the mountain of corpses. Facing the impact of 20,000 Tuyuhun vanguard troops, you led your troops to resist.
You will not retreat until the end of the battle, and you will lead the troops with bravery and bravery. You will protect the rear of the army and ensure the victory of the Battle of Hexi. This is the reward you deserve. I only hope that you can continue to work hard in the future instead of resting on your laurels.
We don’t want to make progress. At this time when the empire is in trouble, it’s time for us to strive bravely to serve our family and country. How can the imperial court be stingy with rewards for meritorious deeds?”
"Here! I will obey the command of the commander-in-chief. I am willing to follow the commander-in-chief to defeat the bandits and make new achievements!"
Yuchi Baohuan was very excited.
Everyone's eyes were on the Eastern Expedition, believing that it was the last way for the Tang Dynasty to obtain meritorious deeds on a large scale. Moreover, the entire country was mobilized in the Eastern Expedition, and victory was certain. As long as you were involved in it, meritorious rewards would be at your fingertips.
Therefore, the nobles of the aristocratic families and the generals and generals of martial arts all tried their best to join the most valued children in the family to join the Eastern Expedition army, just waiting to return in victory and rewarded according to their merits.
Disciples like Yuchi Baohuan would naturally have no chance to join them.
But who would have thought that before the victory in Liaodong was in sight, there would be successive wars in Hexi and the Western Regions, causing the empire to be in a critical situation and even Guanzhong would be threatened?
The war on the border has resumed, and it’s time for us to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!
What's particularly important is that being able to follow Fang Jun, a victorious general who is not greedy for merit, not harsh, and has great power, is the best way to gain merit! I just accompanied him in a big victory, so of course he has merit.
But it’s not like he’s showing off alone, he’s actually about to take a peek at the title…
In the army, it is no different than in the imperial court. Your own ability is important, but standing in the right team and following the right people is even more important!
