    With just one sentence, Li Longji set the strategy for the future military governors of Hexi and Longyou to jointly explore the new land of Qinghai Lake.  The area north of Qinghai Lake, especially Menggu and other places north of Niuxindui, are adjacent to the area under the jurisdiction of Hexi Jiedushi, making it easier to manage; the area south of Qinghai Lake is close to large tracts of land to the east.  It is of course a matter of course for Shanzhou's troops to garrison Chiling and Yaoshui River Valley.  ¡°The large area to the west of Qinghai Lake, especially to the southwest of Fuqi City, will be prone to various wars and conflicts in the future, and will inevitably become a sensitive area that affects the nerves of the two countries.  From the perspective of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there is indeed no problem with Li Longji's arrangement. After all, this great victory was the result of the joint troops sent by Hexi and Longyou. Of course, when distributing the fruits of victory, one must be even in the bowl, otherwise  It will cause speculation and dissatisfaction among the soldiers at the front.  However, His Majesty the Emperor seems to have forgotten to allocate the Longju Island in the middle of Qinghai Lake, which is rich in Longju horses. This is a real pearl in the entire Qinghai Lake area!  After agreeing on the big military strategy, the emperor ordered the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs to seize the time to check military achievements and come up with an overall plan to reward meritorious soldiers. It seems that all the armies that participated in the Qinghai Lake Battle this time  Not only will officers and soldiers be promoted to higher ranks, but they will also be rewarded with money and other rewards.  The emperor was happy for a moment, so when explaining to the ministers, he named a few names, such as Cui Xiyi, Guo Yingyi, Zhou Chengye and Wang Zhongsi.  It was not his turn to speak. Zhou Ziliang, who was standing nearby and making soy sauce, heard that the emperor listed his youngest son's name after Guo Yingyi.  He was also very happy in his heart, but his face kept a calm expression, as if the young general whom everyone was discussing with great interest who dared to surprise Fuqi City with only 700 cavalry was someone else's son.  Recently, there has been an undercurrent in Chang'an City. The emperor listened to someone's "small report" and seemed to have the idea of ??deposing the prince. Although Zhou Yushi objected to the emperor's fuss, he kept in mind the instructions of his youngest son when he left.  He kept silent on the matter of deposing the prince, and rarely avoided the rumors and various disputes.  Zhou Ziliang prayed secretly in his heart.  I hope the victory at Qinghai Lake will make the emperor feel better for a while.  It also asked the emperor to turn his attention from the palace to the border fortress and not to make the decision to depose the prince easily.  Soon, the imperial edict and the Ministry of War orders sent from the capital Chang'an to Longyou arrived in Fuqi City. Along with the imperial edict and the Ministry of War orders came the envoys personally sent by the emperor to negotiate with the Tubo Kingdom.  That is Du Hope, the former governor of Shanzhou, who was newly appointed Minister of War.  Du hopes to be a resolute and thorough militant.  When he took office in Shanzhou.  But he doesn't have a good attitude toward the Tubo people.  This time the emperor appointed him as the special envoy for negotiations, which has fully demonstrated his very tough attitude towards the Tubo Kingdom.  Cui Xiyi, who temporarily moved to the city, saw the edict and the order from the Ministry of War.  So he left 10,000 soldiers and horses to build a city fifty miles northwest of Fuqi City, which would serve as a bridgehead for the Hexi Army's westward march.  According to the practice at the time, after the city was built, it would be named after the army. In the future, this place will also be named after the army on the map of Datang.  The Hexi Jiedu envoy was responsible for the dual tasks of resisting the Turks in the north and resisting the Tibetans in the south. Therefore, after Cui Xiyi left these 10,000 troops, he immediately led his army to withdraw to the town's headquarters.  Before leaving, the negotiation team sent by the Tubo Kingdom also arrived at Fuqi City. Cui Xiyi followed the trend and released Kilixu, who was secretly transferred to his army by Zhou Chengye, in front of the chief envoys of both Tang and Tubo sides. It was completed.  Not only did he save his own reputation, but he also saved Kilisu's life.  It didn¡¯t matter that the Tang army was missing one Kilixu, but the Tubo people suddenly became confused.  Originally, according to Zadayan's idea, he had no intention of actually letting Kilixu return to Luoche City alive. The envoy he sent secretly received the order to find a way to force the Tang army to kill Zadayan, but the Tang Dynasty did not  Without waiting for the Tubo side to negotiate a price, they unconditionally threw the very hot potato of Kilixu over.  With so many people watching from both sides of the outrage, Zadayan would not dare to kill Kilixu in the Tubo Empire, no matter how courageous he was.  The Tubo people suddenly had a leader who could speak and take charge of matters, and they suddenly didn't know whose opinion they should listen to next.  The great talk of the Tubo Kingdom is similar to the first and assistant prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, but the civil servants of Tubo can also lead troops, so Chidezuzan will send Kilixu to Qinghai Lake to preside over important events before his country conquers Dabolu.  .  Zadayan's position is similar to that of a general in the Tang army. He has absolute authority in military affairs, but his official position is still slightly inferior to that of Kilixu.  After Kilixu returned to Zadayan's army, the two had to discuss how to negotiate with the Tang army next, and the result wasOf course they parted on bad terms.  Kilixu suffered a big loss and insisted on applying to Tibet for the army to come for support, and he must take back the Qinghai Lake pasture occupied by the Tang army no matter what.  The reason why Kilixu was so determined was not only because of face issues, but also because he knew very well the importance of the Qinghai Lake area to the Tubo Kingdom.  Without the tens of thousands of fine horses produced every year by Qinghai Lake, Tubo's expansion to the west and north would slow down.  Before coming to Qinghai, Zadayan had just returned to Luoche City from Bolu. It can be said that he came with the power of a great victory.  He was worried that Chide Zuzan followed Kilixu's suggestion and mobilized troops from the territory of Bolu to fight against the Tang army. As a result, he relaxed his control and consolidation of Bolu, which eventually damaged the territory he had conquered, so he insisted on  The armistice boundary was drawn with the Tang army, and no large-scale war was launched in Qinghai Lake for the time being.  Kilixu¡¯s troops had been almost wiped out by the Tang army, so although he was half a head higher than Zadayan in terms of official position, in the end he was still unable to influence Zadayan¡¯s decision, who had ulterior motives.  After many negotiations, the Tubo army and the Tang army reached an armistice agreement: the two sides delimited the territory currently under their actual control. The Tang army was not allowed to enter the area south of Dafeichuan, and the Tubo tribes were not allowed to enter the area within a fifty-mile radius of Fuqi City.  .  After signing this alliance under the city, Zadayan ignored the angry Kilixu and led the main force of Tibet to withdraw from the traditional sphere of influence of the Tubo Kingdom, without worrying that Chide Zuzan would turn around and deal with him.  Later it was proved that Zadayan had figured out the thoughts of Chidezuzan this time. After Dazanpu learned about the armistice agreement reached between Zadayan and the Tang army, he did not blame him, but ordered him to lead his troops directly to Cong.  Ling area, went to support the Tubo army that was currently in confrontation with the Tang army there.  As for Kilixu, who had lost both his city and his troops, Chide Zuzan naturally gave him a severe reprimand, and then naturally dismissed Kilixu from his post as Qinghai Jiedushi and ordered him to return to Luoshe City to concentrate on his work.  Assist yourself with government affairs.  Of course, Chide Zuzan would not really swallow this bad breath. After Kilixu left the Qinghai area, he immediately appointed the late Western Hanshe, who was originally the Prime Minister, as the Qinghai Festival Envoy, and temporarily set up the government office.  Located two hundred miles southwest of Fuqi City, its purpose and intention are self-evident.  Judging from this important personnel adjustment within the Tubo Kingdom, Chide Zuzan not only had the ambition to continue to march into the Western Regions, but also had the determination not to give up the Qinghai region.  After learning about Tubo's actions, the Tang army, whose morale was now high, naturally would not remain indifferent, and quickly made corresponding arrangements and adjustments.  First of all, Guo Yingyi did not hesitate to adjust the defense area of ??the Suirong Army, whose combat power had soared, from the Suirong City area to Fuqi City, and the original Fuqi City became the new headquarters of the Shanzhou Dudufu. From then on, the Shanzhou garrison "  The "headquarters" moved three hundred miles westward from Huangshui City and settled in Fuqi City.  Secondly, Guo Yingyi transferred the Baishui Army, which was equally powerful, from its original station to Moliyi, an important place in Tang Tu's throat, and ordered it to build a new city on the spot that could accommodate tens of thousands of people based on the original city defense foundation of Moliyi.  , and named it Baishui City.  Finally, Guo Yingyi and Zhang Zhongliang submitted a petition to the court, suggesting that the Baishui Army and the Suirong Army be expanded to 20,000 at the same time, and that the emperor personally rename the Suirong Army that had made great contributions.  The original establishment of the White Water Army was 10,000 people, and this time it was also a great success. In the future, it will have to guard choke points such as Moliyi, so it is justifiable to expand the army. I believe that His Majesty the Emperor, who has always been very fond of Wang Zhongsi, will never object.  However, the Suirong Army was originally stationed in a Suirong city with only 3,000 men. This time, Guo Yingyi suggested that it be expanded to 20,000 people. Is this a bit exaggerated?  Will His Majesty the Emperor and the big guys from the Ministry of War and Ministry of Household Affairs agree?  The answer is yes!  Because in this memorial, Guo Yingyi also specifically reported on how the "Big Shaobao" on Tuesday invigorated the "economy" of the frontier for more than half a year and raised the combat power and equipment of the Suirong Army through self-reliance.  I believe that His Majesty the Emperor, who has always been shrewd, and the new Minister of Revenue, Yan Tingzhi, will definitely laugh from ear to ear after seeing Tuesday's "**" story of how they used their own money to train and strengthen the army for the Emperor. Anyway, there will be no need to use the Ministry of Finance at that time.  Pay more money, and some people pay for it themselves!  But then again, isn¡¯t His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty worried that Tuesday¡¯s practice of asking for money from one¡¯s own pocket may be suspected of winning people¡¯s hearts?  Just think about how Li Longji could appoint Wang Zhongsi as the military commander of the four towns and Hu'er from Anlu Mountain as the military commander of the three towns, and you will know how much the emperor trusted and reused military generals.  Tuesday is now just the commander-in-chief of a small army. Not only is he far away from the position of Guo Yingyi, the governor of Shanzhou, but he is also several miles away from the position of the military governor of a town.?, plus the fact that his father-in-law Zhang Jiuling and his relative Zhou Ziliang were guarantors for him in the court, what else could the emperor be worried about?  Li Longji is a typical emperor who believes in anyone he likes, unless this guy goes against the emperor over and over again, which makes him unhappy.  Since he became an official on Tuesday, he seems to have been trying to please the emperor, and he has never disobeyed Li Longji, right?  From a certain point of view, Tuesday is even better than Li Linfu at figuring out the current emperor's thoughts.  Therefore, when the joint proposal from Guo Yingyi and Zhang Zhongliang was delivered to Chang'an, it was almost time for promotion on Tuesday.  A general who commands 3,000 people and a general who commands 20,000 people are both called generals, but they are very different in rank and momentum!
