"I wonder if your Majesty is here late at night, what can you learn?" It was late at night, and Xue Rengui was about to go to bed, but suddenly he heard his son Xue Ne say that Li Xian was visiting. He couldn't help but feel shocked. After welcoming him into the tent, he couldn't wait to speak.
asked.
Li Xian also had a serious look on his face, and he bowed his hands to Xue Rengui and said, "Xiao Wang is here for no other reason. He is mainly here to give advice to the general. I hope the general will accept it."
"The king has something to say, but it doesn't matter. As long as the general can do it, he will do his best." Xue Rengui was grateful to Li Xian for giving a lot of credit to his son, and even more grateful to Li Xian for everything he had done for Xue Na, including
He found a way to make him apprentice to Cheng Yaojin and vigorously trained him to become a qualified general, so he said immediately.
But he saw that Li Xian's face was still serious and he said solemnly: "Now that Goguryeo has been destroyed, our Tang Dynasty has acquired one hundred and seventy-six cities and six hundred and ninety-seven thousand households, and established the Andong Protectorate and the Governor's Office of nine states.
Forty-two, county 100, the general was appointed as the guardian of the Andong Protectorate. It is really gratifying. I believe that with the methods of the general, it will not be long before the situation in Goguryeo is stabilized and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
It’s just that the general affairs must pay attention to Silla’s movements.”
"Silla?" Xue Rengui frowned and said thoughtfully after hearing this.
"Yes, it's Silla. Now Baekje and Goguryeo, the land of three Koreas, have been destroyed. It only takes ten years for our Tang Dynasty to completely assimilate them. However, the royal power of Silla is still there, so we have to
Precaution. Although our Tang Dynasty established the Jilinzhou Governor's Office there, appointed the King of Silla as the Grand Governor, and sent officials from the court to control it. However, if the King of Silla really had different intentions, the officials condemned by our Tang Dynasty would have three heads and six arms.
, it is difficult to achieve anything, and can only become a ghost under the sword."
"No way, Silla and the Tang Dynasty have been allies for many years, and the military power of the Tang Dynasty was so great that even Goguryeo was destroyed. Could it be that Silla was tired of living? How dare it challenge the military power of the Tang Dynasty?
?" After hearing Li Xian's words, Xue Ne on the side first expressed his disapproval, and then said flatly before Xue Rengui could speak.
When Li Xian heard this, he chuckled and said: "Brother Xue doesn't know. In terms of diplomacy, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. When Silla was bullied by the Goguryeo and Baekje coalition forces, it had no choice but to join the Tang Dynasty and cooperate with me."
The Tang Dynasty formed an alliance and used the Tang Dynasty to check and balance Goguryeo and Baekje. Later, our allied forces defeated Baekje and Goguryeo, and successfully destroyed Baekje and Goguryeo. In the process, the Tang Dynasty benefited, but Silla also benefited.
Shao? Especially after the fall of Goguryeo, many soldiers and people took the opportunity to surrender to Silla. This also greatly increased Silla's strength. If there was a change, Silla would be able to mobilize a large army in just a short time and capture hundreds of
Ji Ji's hometown, cut off our army's sea passage, and then take advantage of the situation to besiege Pyongyang and occupy the entire territory of the three Koreas. In this way, our decades of conquest in the Tang Dynasty were not just making wedding clothes for others?"
No matter how stupid Xue Ne was, he still knew how correct Li Xian's words were. He couldn't help but murmured: "What should we do? I, the Tang Dynasty, worked hard to pacify Goguryeo and Baekje, how can we surrender them to them?"
Give it to someone else?”
Xue Rengui, on the other hand, was very interested in Li Xian's sentence of "making wedding clothes for others" and praised Li Xian for the appropriateness of his metaphor and his amazing witty words.
Li Xian plagiarized Qin Taoyu's famous sayings from two hundred years later without any sense of shame. At the same time, he happily accepted Xue Rengui's praise and took on the responsibility of educating Xue Ne: "This matter is actually not difficult. Goguryeo
The rich and powerful families moved to the interior, and at the same time, the refugees of the Tang Dynasty were moved to their hometown of Goguryeo, and they were asked to cultivate fields and borders. At the same time, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty implemented military garrison in the area and established horse farms, which could not only station troops for defense, but also solve the problem.
Food and grass issues. In addition, by allowing them to intermarry with the people of Goguryeo, build schools, and allow students here to participate in the imperial examinations, I believe that it won’t be long before Goguryeo will be completely integrated with the people of the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no desire to restore the country."
"Of course", looking at Xue Rengui who was nodding his head in praise, Li Xian continued: "All these things must be planned slowly and do not rush into anything hastily, otherwise once conflicts arise, they will be out of control. Xiao Wang is here to see you today.
General, the main thing is to ask the general to be careful about Silla and pay attention to cultivating talents. The general should know that although our martial arts in the Tang Dynasty are prosperous, the border areas cannot be too stable, especially the Tubo in the southwest, whose help is Mang Song Mangzan.
That's all, but the late Prime Minister Lu Dongzan's grandson Gar Qinling was actually a famous general. If he leads the army and then unites with the Turks in the northwest, the Khitans in Liaodong, the Xi tribe, etc., the four towns of Anxi will be in danger
By then, I am afraid that the general will be transferred to the front line. When Silla sees an opportunity, it will definitely seize the opportunity to raise troops. If the Goguryeo royal family is further supported, not only will Silla be unable to control it, but this place will no longer be owned by the Tang Dynasty.
.”
"Huh?" After listening to what Li Xian just said, Xue Rengui's eyes suddenly showed a glimmer of light, and then he raised his hands and said: "I didn't expect that the king would be so far-sighted and benevolent. Please rest assured, the king will do his best."
Able to select and train elite soldiers, train generals, settle the people, capture the hearts and minds of the people, to ensure that this place is not lost, and work hard to build defense against Silla."
"In this way, the little king can rest assured. There is a general under my command named Yang Siqi, who is the son of the late Goguryeo general Yang Wanchun. This man has always been prestigious among the people of Goguryeo and is good at appeasing. If the general does not give up, the little king will
The king assigned this person to serve under the general." If given the opportunity, Li Xian would naturally not mind letting his generals practice. This would naturally be an opportunity for Li Xian to place people in the Andong Protectorate, and it would also be an opportunity for the generals.
An opportunity for Xue Rengui to be tied to his chariot.
In fact, what Li Xian did was a bit unreasonable, because Xue Rengui was a direct minister. Although killing prisoners and robbing prisoners would occur on the battlefield, he would never form a party for personal gain. However, Li Xian took advantage of the fact that the other party was doing so.
When employing people, he was also grateful for Li Xian's kindness to his son Xue Na, so he forced his talents to others, which was obviously to win over Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui is not stupid, and naturally he vaguely guessed Li Xian's intentions, but he couldn't refuse at this time. Even if he put his feelings aside, he really needed such talents. Now Li Xian is helping him in times of need, no matter where he is.
Publicly or privately, he should accept this talent. Of course, the premise is that the person is indeed a talent, otherwise Xue Rengui would never raise an idle person in vain.
Therefore, after hearing this, Xue Rengui nodded and said: "That's very good. The general is indeed in dire need of such talents. The king has done a great favor to the general. In this case, the king will ask this person to serve in our army tomorrow. If
If he has really made great achievements, the general will definitely ask for credit for him."
In fact, Xue Rengui still had something to say. If the so-called talents have not made meritorious deeds, don't expect any care.
However, Li Xian had absolute confidence in his people, so he just smiled to show his understanding.
Later, Li Xian proposed to compete with Xue Ne in martial arts and let the great master Xue Rengui provide guidance. Xue Rengui readily agreed without hesitation.
Xue Ne originally thought that after more than a year of battlefield training, his martial arts had improved greatly, and Li Xian would no longer be his opponent. However, after a test, he was frustrated to find that the gap between himself and his opponent was getting wider and wider. He couldn't help but
I secretly smiled bitterly in my heart: It seems that Li Xian's talent is so high that he is really a freak. If I want to surpass him, I may have no hope in this life.
In fact, Xue Na didn't know that the reason why Li Xian's martial arts improved so rapidly was not only because of his talent, nor just because he learned more while fighting life and death on the battlefield, but there was another important reason, that
I learned those broken marksmanship skills from Yuan Nanjian, which are said to be derived from the powerful marksmanship of King Wu Dao!
Li Xian integrated those marksmanship techniques with his own, making his marksmanship more domineering and fierce, and his moves more concise and effective.
"Just these incomplete marksmanship can improve my marksmanship so much. If I can get the complete marksmanship, I wonder how high my marksmanship will be improved?" After the victory, Li Xian was not at all proud.
Instead, he was thinking about how to get that complete set of marksmanship.
"Since King Wu Dao is buried in Dragon City, I might as well go back to my old business and explore the tomb of King Wu Dao. Maybe I can gain something."
On the way back to his camp, Li Xian kept thinking about this problem in his mind. In the end, he couldn't help but return to his old profession and obtain the marksmanship of King Wu Dao by robbing tombs.
Although Li Xian also knew that King Wu Dao was actually captured by the Murong family and then killed and buried, the chance of there being any marksmanship in the tomb was almost zero, because if there was, Murong must have learned it first, and it would have been impossible to retain it.
Among the tombs. But if you don’t take a look in person, you will never be willing to accept it, so you decided to go and try your luck.
"Great King Wu Dao, I admire your heroic deeds no matter in my past life or in this life. In the north where the Five Husbands are in chaos and the demons are dancing, I, the Han people in the Central Plains, are regarded as pigs and dogs, and are killed and raped.
But you dare to confront them. Although the order to kill Hu was criticized by later generations of historians, it was this order to kill Hu that made our land of Jiuzhou finally show its true colors, and prevented our Chinese race from being exterminated, and civilization could continue. If not
How could we have the Tang Dynasty today if we had the King Wu Dao in the past? How could we have the thousands-year-old Chinese civilization of later generations?"
In the vast darkness of the night, Li Xian took a deep breath and said silently with deep respect for King Wu Dao: "I know that touching your mausoleum is disrespectful to you, but for my sake, China can develop further.
, in order for my Chinese civilization to spread all over the world and no longer be threatened by the foreign barbarians, I can only do this. I hope you can forgive me. Please rest assured that I promise you that I will definitely move your mausoleum back to the Central Plains in the future and rebuild it.
I would like to propose a posthumous title for you and praise you for your meritorious service to our country." (To be continued.)
