The boundary of Julan City in this river is not big or small.
Similar to other Hu Kingdoms in the River, the Julan Kingdom is also a typical floating grass that falls with the wind. Last year, Gao Xianzhi defeated the Shi Kingdom and captured Tuqi Shi Khan alive and the King of Shi Kingdom, the Lord of the Julan Kingdom had always been the firm support of Dashi.
Those who are naturally sincere believers of Allah.
However, since Gao Xianzhi established his authority in Hezhong last year, most of the Hu Kingdoms near the four towns of Anxi have changed their flags and flags, and patted their chests to declare that they would be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. In this way, Ashi will not come to the city of Julan City,
The front line of Sailye was nominally under the control of the Anxi Army. Although this is the case, since the Tang Dynasty pursued a policy of ruling the Western Regions, the Anxi Army would not have stationed troops in the Hu Kingdom at all, so it would be impossible to actually control this.
Military and political power in the region.
In other words, Hu masters such as Li Huaizhong were just showing their subordinate attitude to the Emperor of Tang, and their autonomy was still in their own hands. There were about 5,000 troops in Julan City. If they were all dispatched, they would count.
Shangmin Zhuang may be able to increase the number of people. This is why Li Kuo is a little polite to Li Huaizhong. Without having to be in love, the young man did not want to break up with Li Huaizhong. After all, this is the gateway that the soldiers of Anxi must pass through to move eastward.
If the relationship is too stiff and pushing Li Huaizhong to the side of the cannibal, it will seem that it will be more than worth the effort.
Of course, from Li Huaizhong's perspective, he wanted to please the hot governor of the Anxi Army in front of him. Seeing that he was only ten years old, he reached the high position of the governor of a town. In time, he would definitely accept the position of the Anxi Commander in the Great Protectorate.
, by that time the waters rose, and it would not be so easy to win the favor of him.
For people like Li Huaizhong, the ability to judge and grasp the opportunity is obviously very outstanding. Years of betting make their nerves extremely sensitive. No matter how confusing the situation on the surface is, they can always peel off the thread and draw the cocoon and make the most advantageous
Your own decision.
The banquet held in the Royal Palace of Julan City tonight was obviously the first major decision made by Li Huaizhong.
Although the city of Julan is not too big, the palace in the middle of the capital is vast and spacious, with great luxury. Li Kuo was invited by Li Huaizhong and brought nearly 100 confidants from Tongwu Camp to the palace for a banquet, along the way
It is to receive supreme courtesy.
Under the guidance of the palace general, Li Kuo and his confidants came to the seat and returned to their posts. What surprised the young man was that the main hall of the Hu Kingdom's Palace could be so luxurious. Including Li Huaizhong's confidant and the important ministers, the palace had already accommodated him.
Five or six hundred people, but the boy did not feel the slightest sense of crowding.
Li Kuo couldn't help but smile bitterly. Taking the people's fat and arousing it in the palace. It seems that no matter where it is, this is the truth.
Because of Li Huaizhong's consent, Li Kuo was able to sit in a tie with the Lord of the Kingdom of Julan. The trusted generals and close servants of both sides sat in their respective positions.
Because Li Kuo and his group arrived too suddenly, Li Huaizhong didn't have time to carefully plan the banquet process. However, some programs with great characteristics of Hezhong Huguo, such as singing and dancing, juggling, and special art are essential.
I am used to seeing Yingying Cuicui in Chang'an City, and it is a unique taste when I read Hu Xuanwu by chance. What's more, the layout of this palace hall is almost similar to the places where the royal palaces and princes of the Tang Dynasty, so it is connected with the curtains, the hanging of the incense burner, and the placing
The location is extremely exquisite, which makes people think at first that it is a powerful mansion in Chang'an City. However, Li Kuo must not have the leisure to enjoy the singing and dancing now. After clinking glasses with Li Huaizhong, the young man smiled and said, "Su
I heard that the Lord of Julan admired my Tang Dynasty culture, and even the layout of the houses in the palace followed the Central Plains. When I saw it today, it was indeed well-known. Come on, I would like to respect the Lord of the People’s Republic of China.”
Li Huaizhong was thinking about the purpose of the Tianwei Army coming to Julan City. Seeing Li Kuo taking the initiative to invite him, he quickly raised his jade cup and said with a smile: "Governor Li is so generous. The culture of the Tang Dynasty is profound and profound, and he is just a superficial learning.
.As for someone's admiration for the Tang Dynasty, that's true."
Li Kuo took a sip of the wine and said, "Lord Li is loyal to me, the Tang Dynasty, otherwise my Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would not have given you the name of Han."
He said this correctly. Li Huaizhong was originally a native of Lite, named Dajialan. Later, because of his outstanding performance in Gao Xianzhi's military operation to suppress the Hu, he was given the national surname by His Majesty the Emperor and promised him to be loyal.
The Tang Dynasty rarely gave the surname to others, and only founding heroes like Li Ji, who were treated with such courtesy as the British Duke. His Majesty the Emperor gave Li Huaizhong a name because he valued the position of Julan City in the river.
He hopes to see the Tang army completely control the river in his lifetime and extend the empire's territory to the former Persian Governor's Office again. To accomplish such a feat, the first thing to solve is the transportation of food, grass and supplies. If you want to conquer the fragmented
Yecheng opened the gateway to the river, and regaining Julan City would be equivalent to obtaining an important transit station on the road to the west of the Anxi Army. If Li Huaizhong sincerely surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, then the Anxi Army's food and grass were
The baggage does not need to be far away and can be transported from Julan City, so that the supply problems faced by the Anxi Tang army will be solved.
Of course, Li Huaizhong's sincerity needs to be verified in time. At least for the moment, the Anxi Army will not hand over all its food and supplies to a Hu man who had just surrendered.
Li Huaizhong obviously felt the supreme honor of being given by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and nodded and said, "I am so favoured by the Khan of Heaven. I dare not let the death of not responding? I just wish I could pick up the sword and bend the bow for the Tang Dynasty at this moment.
The territory is open to the border!”
Li Huaizhong's words were so passionate that he frothed and his beard trembled.
Seeing his appearance, Li Kuo felt honest and cute, and said, "Your Majesty is kind and will not take the initiative to fight to the people." After a slight pause, the young man slightly raised his tone: "But if someone else
If we stroke my Tang Dynasty tiger beard, we don’t mind using the sword in our hands to teach them enough lessons.”
Li Huaizhong didn't know what the boy said, so he just owed his body and said, "That's nature, that's nature."
Seeing that the temperature was almost the same, Li Kuo paused his wine glass and smiled: "I know that Lord Li is busy with political affairs all day long and reviewed memorials day and night. I wonder if you know the dispatch of soldiers along the line of Julan City?"
Although he said this in a tactful manner, how could Li Huaizhong not know what the young man said? He sank slightly in his heart, rubbed his hands and said, "There are most soldiers in this city, and there will be some places in the border counties along the border.
When arranging and distributing, I wonder where the governor said it specifically?”
When Li Kuo saw that he kicked the ball back to him, he felt a little angry.
"Ahem. I mean, I wonder if the king has discovered that there are troops passing by along the country of Julan?"
Li Huaizhong immediately became alert when he heard this. He had heard the wind from the west earlier, saying that the 30,000 army led by Gao Xianzhi had launched a fierce battle with the cannibals in Talas. Later, Anxi's army was not as strong as it was defeated by the cannibals in one fell swoop.
Cross the Talas River and head eastward.
Over the past few days, local officials have frequently reported that many defeated soldiers came from the west and went east through the Julan Kingdom. However, they could not confirm the identity of these people, and secondly, they were not equipped with them.
In the fight, I just watched them go east.
At the beginning, Li Huaizhong suspected that these people were defeated soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but they were mostly small-scale and did not form a scale, so he did not take it seriously. Now Li Kuo took the initiative to mention this matter, and it seems that it is 80% true
Yes.
"If General Li said he had left the army, he had discovered some. However, most of these people were scattered soldiers and scattered armor, and they should be just mobs. They must not be the army that Governor Li was looking for."
Li Kuo secretly scolded Li Huaizhong for being cunning, but his face did not change. At least it can be proved that Gao Shuai and the others had not arrived in Julan City, and Li Huaizhong was not sure that Anxi army had been defeated!
"That's right!" Li Kuo smiled and said, "Supervisor Gao has sent me a letter to him to tell me about the victory of the army. Calculate the time, he should be about to arrive in Julan City. Now, I will take it.
The troops stationed in Sailye City came to Julan City to welcome him."
Li Kuo said it very relaxed and did not seem to be false at all. Although Li Huaizhong was suspicious, he smiled and said, "In this way, congratulations to the general. The Tang Dynasty King's Army won the Great Food, and I believe it will be unified soon.
In the river.”
"Yes." Li Kuo nodded slightly and continued: "It's just that the Battle of Talas is over. Our Anxi Army will probably take a break in Julan City. I hope the Lord can receive it carefully."
"What's the problem! This matter is covered by someone. I promise to let Gao Xianzhi protect the great commander and satisfy the Anxi army!"
Li Huaizhong thought that what Li Kuo said was such a trivial matter, so he hurriedly patted his chest to protect him. Although the Anxi Army passed by Julan City, his pocket would be bleeding heavily. But if he could follow Gao Xianzhi and get a little joy, he would be
Your position in the river will definitely improve greatly in the future.
As for money, I will spend it. Anyway, I am the one who belongs to Kulan Kingdom, so the money is inexhaustible. After the banquet, I asked Daxiang to draw up a new tax plan and post it.
Within half a year, my own treasury will be filled again.
"Come on, Governor Li, I wish you a cup. I won't be drunk today!"
Thinking of this, Li Huai was very happy in the center and picked up the jade cup and went to Li Kuojing from afar.
ps: Guess what reaction will happen to Gao Xianzhi after meeting Qilang.
