    More than forty people were invited all the way from their respective territories by Hei Te Changzhi to Shanzhou City, and then were taken outside the city.

    After walking for more than 20 miles, there was a valley in the distance. The terrain of the valley was a bit harsh, with mountains and ridges on both sides, and a small stream trickling out in the middle.  At this time, the creek was completely frozen, and everything was white. Only the tall pines and cypresses revealed a little green green in the thick snow, indicating that there was still life in the earth.

    As we got closer to the valley, we took a closer look.  There is a flat terrain several hundred meters wide along both sides of the creek. At the end is a farm. Like other farms in Qinghai, it has thick mud walls and thick wheat straw and white cogon grass on the roof.  However, a few people immediately noticed something different. No one was walking around the farm. On the contrary, there were many guards patrolling with swords and bows, watching the surroundings vigilantly.  []

    "This is?" the king of Shule asked Heijichangzhi doubtfully.

    The more than forty people are all from the largest force in Lingxi, the Western Region.  For example, the Ten Surnames, Chuyue and other tribes, and other great river kingdoms such as Shi Guo, Cao Guo, and He Guo, or Ye Hu of Tochar, and other great Western Kingdoms such as Qiuci, Shule, and Khotan, all of them have their own  The king, or the king's uncle, king's brother, eldest son, or the chieftain who can represent the country.

    The emperor¡¯s life and death were unknown. At this very moment, I felt very uneasy when I saw the terrain here.

    Hei Te Changzhi laughed and said, "Everyone, I asked you to leave your guards and come alone in order to bring you some great news."

    "What's the good news?"

    "I'll know soon, please."

    We brought him into a spacious farmer's house, and there was a man sitting in the living room.

    Seeing this person, most of them have met before, and suddenly they knelt down in surprise, beat their chests and stamped their feet, and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

    Some burst into tears.

    Li Wei smiled, Hu people have simple minds, and many actions seem simple to the Central Plains people, and said, "Everyone, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, why are you like this?"

    With tears in Yuchi Fuxiong¡¯s eyes, he sobbed: ¡°Your Majesty, there are rumors outside Where has your Majesty been for more than a year?¡±

    "The rumors outside? How can you believe the rumors? Are they said by General Black Teeth, or by Wang Duhu, or by Li Duhu?"

    "this¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤

    "I have been in Qinghai, commanding from the center. Does it have to be normal for me to go to the battlefield?"

    "Yes, but" Fu Xiong was also confused after this round.

    "Don't worry about it. I called you to come because there is an important matter to discuss. I have been delayed for too long for the war in the West, and I have not been seen back in the country. Many things have happened. I have to go back, but I am returning to Beijing.  The riot in Gu Duo Lu must be suppressed before now. I need your help."

    Li Wei¡¯s life and death were unknown, and various ministries and countries were a little confused. But Li Wei was alive, and they felt confident in their hearts, and they all patted their chests and said, ¡°Here we go.¡±

    "But the Tocharian troops cannot be moved. There is pressure from the food in the west, and the Persians cannot raise the banner of resistance alone. There is Tubo in the southeast, and their ambitions have never stopped. There is also the southern part of the Tianshan Mountains, especially Khotan and Shule.  You can¡¯t move even more.¡±

    "Your Majesty, we can send some troops." King Shule said.

    "No, I'm calling you here to tell you one thing. You've all heard of the story of Tyuhun Achai Chopsticks in the past, right? You all must unite and not have selfish motives. Once the army leaves, each of your departments will have selfish motives.  The enemy will take advantage of the opportunity to move in again. You must understand that every department will be prosperous and humiliated. Whether you can create a peaceful environment for the Western Regions and Lingxi, where the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the troops at the front are safe and worry-free, is all in your mind. I will do the same.  Leave some officials behind and follow their orders."

    "Well," a dozen of them replied reluctantly.  It's good to fight with His Majesty, the rewards are fair, and victory is guaranteed.  If you abandon it outside, you won¡¯t be happy in your heart.

    ¡°But this is a strategic necessity and we have no choice.

    Li Wei then turned to the others and said, "Some unpleasant things happened the winter before last. I thought that the Tibetans would invade from the north, but I did not expect that Gu Duolu would invade, let alone that Ge Luolu and Chebishi would riot.  It was my negligence, and I apologize to you here."

    "Your Majesty, you don't dare." Dozens of people hurriedly fell down.

    Although that negligence caused a tense situation in the Western Region for a time, it was eventually expelled.  Later in the Tang Dynasty, no, the emperor did a great job. Not only did he give a large amount of compensation, but most of the property, population, cattle and sheep obtained from the conquest of Chebishi and Geluolu were dedicated according to their respective military exploits, and all were rewarded to them.  .  Arrive at the southern expedition to Tehran and BaluchistanThe property acquired during the 19th century, Marklan, and Xinde were successively given to various ministries.

    Including the Hezhong and Tocharian areas, they did not receive much gold and silver, but also received other material distribution, which was a bit heavier, but it was still a considerable amount of wealth.

    Now that Tian Khan is alive and well in the world again, it also means that there will be no major changes in the Tang Dynasty's policy.  What else is there to complain about?

    "I'm going to tell you about the expedition to Guduulu. I plan to mobilize troops from each of your ministries from the middle of the river and the northern part of the Tianshan Mountains. However, because of the losses, I plan to provide another subsidy. For every strong man from each unit, I will reward you with ten cents of gold.  "

    A very healthy slave only cost more than ten yuan in the Western Region. This generous subsidy made everyone very excited.

    "You have to do what you can. You must leave some labor for grazing or farming, and guarding your home. In addition, I require you to be a strong man with good health and excellent physical strength. Not just anyone can be a soldier."

    "Here." This is a good emperor, so considerate.

    Seeing the eagerness in these people's eyes, Li Wei had a headache.  Doing so allowed him to concentrate the maximum strength of each tribe in the shortest time, and also used the strategy of uniting the majority and isolating the Eastern Turks and the minority Tiele tribe.  However, it was a bad start once again. Once these tribes develop the concept of being a mercenary army, and if they want to mobilize their troops in the future, and the court does not provide money and silk, it is very likely that they will use foreign labor.

    But in order to intimidate, Comrade Li Wei could not control so much.  He added, "As for the distribution of materials after the war, we will continue to distribute them according to last year's strategy. However, because the southern part of Tianshan Mountains and Tocharia are guarding behind you, I will take out a batch of materials and trophies from them and distribute them to each of their ministries.  Do you have any comments?"

    "No," they all shook their heads.  This is the benefit of fair distribution, and the ministries believe in Li Wei's distribution.

    "But your armies are in disarray. When the time comes, you will be under the command of General Wang Fangyi, Li Jinxing, and General Qiming respectively. Also, this time I have a generous reward, which comes from the property of the Big Eater or the Big Eater's lackeys. Everyone, each of your tribes also has merit,  So the reward is huge, it¡¯s a special case, you know?¡±

    Everyone nodded again.

    Li Wei waved his hand, and the guard brought two things over.  One has two seals. One seal is a map of the current territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is a giant dragon holding a large Chinese character Tang.  There is also a silk handkerchief with a pattern that is a mixture of two seal patterns.

    road;

    "In this expedition to Gudulu, not only will my army and your army be included, but I also sent people to contact the Huihe people some time ago, and there will be Tiele tribes participating. They are all in the far northeast, different from you.  Familiar. Not only that, some Tiele tribes have always been against our Tang Dynasty. This time I want to deal with them in one fell swoop. In order to allow you to identify them when the time comes, and go to the battlefield, unless there are special circumstances, usually use a seal to  The face is covered with a pattern, and this square handkerchief is tied on the left arm. Regardless of whether the opponent is a soldier or a commoner, if these two things appear, they cannot be harmed, their property cannot be taken away, and there can be no conflict. Do you understand?,  ,

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Innocence is the lovely side, and savagery is the hateful side.  Once you become obsessed with killing and robbing, anything can happen.  Take precautions in advance.

    "Here."

    "Okay, time is running out. I expect that the Lingxi army will also withdraw. You should seize the time to prepare after you return. Also, my news is related to whether this battle can be successful and successful. If you leak my news, no matter what  But you, your tribe, will eventually be included in the tribe that I will never welcome."

    This sentence is murderous.

    Everyone was horrified and said again: "Here."

    As he left, his face was still very happy.  A huge boulder weighed on my heart for a long time and finally let go.

    Hei Te Changzhi waited for everyone to leave and handed over a thick stack of information.

    Li Wei opened it and flipped through it, and one piece of information caught his attention. The Avars provided a small amount of reinforcements in exchange for the friendship of Byzantium.  It's not that this support force is very powerful. At this time, Byzantium also needs a stable rear, and does not want the barbarians to cause trouble behind it and cause the backyard to catch fire.

    Then the Avars took the opportunity to quietly expand eastward.

    One after another, many small tribes were conquered by the Avars.

    But if you want to be the whip of God, you have to secretly support them. You have to wait many years, maybe five years, maybe ten years.  But Li Wei can afford to wait.  Asked: "General Black Teeth, what will be the consequences if I incorporate Princess Frank into the harem?"

    "Your Majesty, something is wrong." Although he was mentally prepared, Pei Xingjian would not have let Jingze send her to Qinghai, and then? She was sent to Suiye City again, and after things settled down, she was taken from Suiye City to Qinghai, but Hei Te Changzhi answered truthfully.

    Li Wei couldn¡¯t tell the real reason and was not convincing, so he had to say: ¡°General Black Teeth, take a look at this information.¡±

    Hei Chi Changzhi looked at it but didn't see it.

    "In the war in the West, our Tang Dynasty is actually a supporting role. The real protagonists are Dashi and Qin. They are enemies of life and death, and with the Pope involved, this battle will last for a long time. In the end, no matter which side it is, it will be  Both sides will suffer losses, and the participating countries will have their people in dire straits and their national strength will be poor. If the Avars become stronger, our court does not need to send many soldiers. We only need to send some generals to guide and support some weapons. The internal minister of the Frankish Kingdom murdered Shandai's father.  , by accepting Xiangdai, I can use the banner of revenge for Xiangdai, and by then, the glory of our Tang Dynasty may be spread in the far west."

    "This?" Hei Te Changzhi opened his mouth wide.  Even if Khorasan wants to rule, it is very difficult because of its distance.  Besides, Frank is thousands of miles away.

    "Since we don't need many soldiers anyway, why not do it?"

    "If your Majesty wants to accept it, accept it as soon as possible. While the court is full of spineless people, otherwise there will be many objections in a few years. Your Majesty will also have to set a standard by then. I have become spineless,"  Black Teeth Changzhi said with a sad face.

    ¡°She¡¯s not a Party member, she¡¯s a Frank. Look at her golden hair, her big waves, and her big blue eyes. It would be as weird as she puts it in the harem.

    Li Wei was amused by Hei Te Changzhi and said, "Believe me, it's not that I don't know the difficulties involved. It's just that the intention is very long-term, so I know the difficulties and do it."

    In the evening, Shandai brought it over secretly.

    Seeing Li Wei, he said in surprise: "Your Majesty"

    "sit."

    Sit down, full of doubts.  The mouth opened again.

    "No need to ask anything. It's better for you not to know some things. But I called you here because I want to say one thing. I can avenge you, and I may bring Pepin's head to pay homage to you.  Father. But there are two prerequisites. First, I must have a good reputation, so I will include you in my harem. Second, once I raise an army, it will definitely cause harm to your country.

    If you agree, I will promise you.  "
