Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 1068;

Chapter 23;

Autumn 644 AD.

Li Yu's grassland wife Taji Guli chose to send troops during Xue Yantuo's internal struggle to avenge her hurt son.

The entire Uighur tribe took action, raised [-] troops, and with the support of the man Li Yu, the upper third house of the Li family in Longxi sent out [-] elite soldiers, fully equipped,

And Ashinasheer's elder brother led [-] troops to support him, and he also took the opportunity to ask Xue Yantuo to settle the old score.

The three-party armies add up to 20 troops, taking advantage of the fact that the nine surnames of Tie Le and the other eight surnames are completely separated, and troops are sent out during small-scale battles.

At the same time, the civil strife in Tubo was still ending, and Xue Yantuo's two major allies were all busy and had no time to send troops to support them.

The war progressed almost like lightning, and it took only 36 days to completely collapse and surrender the Xue Yantuo kingdom, and only then did another crisis of massacres on the prairie be resolved.

The decadent leaders chose to sacrifice the sons of the former Great Khan to save their own lives. They led troops to besiege the tribe of Yi Nan's two sons, and beheaded thousands of heads before killing Yi Nan's two sons, seven grandsons, and five grandsons. The two granddaughters were all tied up and sent to the camp in Tajigul for peace.

Tajiguli didn't even look at it, and directly ordered to kill all the heads that were sent, and hung them in a row on the flagpole at the gate to demonstrate to the public.

Yi Nan under the Nine Springs may not be able to imagine that the powerful khanate he built with one hand was wiped out less than two years after his death, and there was not even a trace of blood left for his descendants. If he knew, even if he came back alive, he would have to die Be pissed off.

So far, Xue Yantuo has completely collapsed and is dead in name only!Tajiguli, who was personally conquered by the imperial driver, finally got a bad breath out of his heart and returned with his troops.

After the three parties withdrew their troops, the grassland did not return to tranquility, but became more and more chaotic.

Some of the many tribes of the Xueyantuo Khanate returned to the former No. [-] man for protection.

Most of the remaining Xue Yantuo tribes are fighting and annexing each other, and they are not sad because Xue Yantuo was destroyed.
On the contrary, they are still talking about expanding their own small tribes. Many leaders are wishful thinking to subdue all the tribes of Xue Yantuo and become a profuse sweat by themselves!
This is also a characteristic of human nature, and it is really unavoidable. After all, there is an old saying that people do not destroy themselves.

Tubo, who had finally ended the civil strife, reacted promptly and pulled out his hand, like the wind and clouds, and the nine-surnamed Tie Le, who had the most Xue Yantuo in the competition.

640 four years in winter and November.

The Xue Yantuo Khanate is divided into three parts. One part has the former No. [-] figure as the leader, retreats to the original tribal territory, and writes with the Quartet. He stops fighting and concentrates on grazing and production. With the support of the Quartet, it became a neutral khanate, and the second person was the khan.

Li Shimin personally decreed that the old man be named Pingbei Khan.

The second part belonged to the militants, which belonged to the Tubo court. With the support of Qizong Nongzan, a new khanate was established. One of the former leaders of Yinan took the lead and proclaimed himself the new Xueyantuo Pearl Khan, but However, he did not get the approval of the Li Tang court, nor did he get any response from the Uighur tribe and the Tie Le Jiu surname, which seemed extremely embarrassing.

In the third part, those leaders who were also unwilling to be lonely belonged to the arms of the eight surnames, and a Khan was also elected as the leader.

The powerful khanate that once forced Li Shimin to eat and drink is now at the end of the road and can no longer threaten Li Tang's court.

Li Shimin, who had just recovered from a serious illness, happily drank a catty of Wuliangye liquor to celebrate.

640 early spring of fifth year.

On the prairie, two groups of people returned to each other, and one side was the Xuanjia Army.

On the other side is the return of Li Yu's caravan.

Li Yu's place of residence was still the same, he lived in the Da'an Palace in the imperial city for a while.

Then he went back to live in General Qin's mansion.

The gate of General Qin's mansion was emptied by Li Yu, and it was no longer the busy traffic like when he was young.

Now the entrance of the General's Mansion is very deserted, and there are hardly any guests visiting.

But there are many more defenders at the gate of the General's Mansion than before.

The previous seven veteran gatekeepers were all transferred back to the camp, and replaced by the Zuowuwei camp, the northern and southern government guards, and the sons of the three guards took turns to be on duty.

The size of the soldiers at the gate of the General's Mansion increased from seven to one hundred and eight.

All of them were fierce soldiers with a murderous look, veterans who had seen blood, well equipped, with extremely sharp Tang knives in their waists, and Tiesuo made of refined iron in their hands.

The official equipment of a centurion is not for people to show off.

An invincible losing front formation can be assembled in minutes.

At the entrance of the generals' mansions in the entire Tang Dynasty, only the place where Li Yu lived had such a lineup.

For those who are sensible, they know well that the desolation of the General Qin's Mansion does not mean that the Qin Mansion is in decline. The death of General Qin Qiong did not affect the tyranny of the Qin Mansion, on the contrary, it is more than ten times stronger than before.

Winter nights are always long.

At three quarters of Yin time, after passing the signal, a dark figure entered from the small back door in the northeast corner of General Qin, and was led all the way to the east courtyard where Li Yu grew up.

"Meet the patriarch."

"Well, get up."

"only!"

"When I saw you come back, I knew something big was going to happen on the grassland, otherwise the steward on your side wouldn't run around."

"The patriarch is wise and predicts things like a god."

"Let's talk, is it Tie Le making a fuss, or Tubo's abandoning sect Nong Zan wanting to be a monster?"

"The head of the Hui clan said that the Tie Le family is ready to move, and the ruler of Tubo has frequent contact with the new Khan of Tuyuhun, and has close contacts with the fake Khan belonging to the Xue Yantuo tribe of Tubo."

"Hey, can't you stop for a while?"

With a sigh, Li Yu put down the book of war strategy in his hand and shook his head. Next to him, Grand Palace Master Liu of the Shangqing Palace poured water with a smile.

"Your Majesty, drink a cup of tea to quench your thirst before it's too late to talk."

"it is good."

The big thing is nothing bigger than the patriarch's eating and drinking. This is something that everyone in the upper three households of the Li family in Longxi must abide by and everyone must remember.

So when Li Yu was drinking tea, the visitor kept his mouth shut and stood straight.

Li Yu, who drank half a bowl of tea, looked up and was a little surprised!

"Why don't you give me a seat?"

"only!"

"Thank you patriarch for the arrangement."

"Sit down and talk, don't worry."

"Yes, patriarch please."

"All kinds of tea this year are very good, and the fried tea is better than last year, which is worthy of praise."

As soon as Li Yu opened his mouth, the little old men who had been sitting in the room all relaxed.

These are the three major stewards Li Yu has re-arranged to be in charge of tea.

The three of them used to be the chief stewards, but they were in charge, they were not necessary, and they didn't have the slightest bit of bullshit power.

At first, Li Yu didn’t pay attention to the planting of the tea business, but when he was walking among the people, he heard that the tea was getting worse and worse, so Li Yu decided to make drastic reforms to the tea business. .

Of the three chief stewards, one is the intercession of the mistress Qiniang, the other is the favor of Lady Liu in the backyard house, and the other is the favor of the noble concubine Lin Bawang.

Originally, there were seven people who offered favors, but four were bought and sold by the eldest lady Xi Chun, and only these three were approved and submitted to Li Yu's desk.

Of course, the forces behind these three people are somewhat related to Xichun's old lady, and they also visited through the back door several times.

As for the identities of Xichun and Tanchun sisters, they are the father's real biological daughters and the real masters of Li's second bedroom. Li Yu has long been clear about it, but he just sees it through and doesn't explain it.

So Li Yu never refuted Xichun's decision once.

Of course, this is also Xichun's extraordinary wisdom, which occupies a large factor!
For example, in recent years, Tanchun has put forward dozens of suggestions, such and such, and more than 90.00% of them were rejected by Li Yu.

In fact, it was only agreed and approved once, because to Li Yu, the other suggestions were child's play, a few blind orders.

It's been almost a year since the three of them took office, and they finally got things done.

At this time, with the approval of the patriarch, the stones in their hearts fell to the ground, because Mrs. Xichun said to try it for a year before making a decision.

That's why the chief steward on their side still wears the word "temporary generation" on his head. These people are eager to get rid of these two words and become the chief steward who truly holds power.

"Thank you for the patriarch's approval, I will definitely wait..."

"Stop."

"Yes."

"The previous steward also said a lot of good things, but what happened? It's a mess."

"In the past two years, the income from tea has gradually decreased a lot. They are still deducting wages everywhere, trying to plug the hole, and revising the ledger, thinking that they are hiding it from the sky and no one knows."

"Facts have proved that there is no necessary connection between talking big and doing big things. What do you think?"

What Li Yu turned to ask was Mrs. Liu, the chief steward of the inner house.

"What A Lang said is that you have to do things down-to-earth. Needless to say, you are not blind."

"Yes, what the lady taught me is that I will remember it in my heart."

Li Yu has lived in Chang'an City for a long time, and the clansmen on the south side of the Lingnan only left the people responsible for taking care of them, and the rest moved from Lingnan back to the old house in Lantian County.

Although most of the people have returned, the living environment in Zhuangzili in Lantian County is very relaxed, because there are more than 2000 clan members who stayed in Lingnan to take care of business.

So Miss Liu returned to Li Yu's side to work as an errand.

"However, the three big stewards are really good. I heard from the accountants that the books of the tea business are much better this year than last year."

"It's really getting better. By the way, I want to ask, how are the wages of those workers handled?"

"If the patriarch Hui said, the wages of the outsiders we used will be restored first, and the members of our own family have not been raised to the original level for the time being."

"Report to the patriarch, the ministers have explained to the clansmen, give it another year, and slowly recover."

"Patriarch Rong, what the ministers said is that after the three of us take office, the salary will be paid within one year next year, and then slowly rise to the amount decided by the patriarch before. As for the salary that will be reduced before I come up, It belongs to the arrangement of the clan, and it is not easy to change it, let alone supplement it, please ask the clan leader to check it out."

"Yes, you guys are doing it in an orderly manner. I agree with this, and I can also tell you that it's not easy, so let me say something loose, there's no need to chase too hard, just relax for another year and solve it."

"Patriarch Xie grants time, I will do my best."

"Okay, let's put it this way. You don't have to wait for the elders' gathering at the end of the year. When you didn't come back a few days ago, the elders of each family discussed this matter. The word "temporary generation" on your head can be removed this year. Take it easy and go back to rest."

"Yes, I will take my leave."

"Let's go."

"only!"

Watching the three chief stewards leave, Li Yu turned his head to look at those who came back from the north.

"Is Tubo preparing food?"

"Yes, the patriarch's guess is very accurate. They are collecting rations, and they are still mobilizing troops. I suspect that Tubo has the same heart."

Li Yu held the tea bowl and looked at the red lantern outside the door;

"Don't doubt it, it's all lice on the bald man's head, it's obvious."

"Qizong Nongzan sent troops a few years ago. Not only did he return without success, but he also killed more than 2 children. How could he swallow this?"

"He is majestic on the prairie. He has been rampant for many years without failing once. On the other side of the Daxue Mountain, he is the peerless overlord. He is the only one who bullies others. There is nothing he can't handle."

While talking, Li Yu stood up and moved his sleepy body after sitting for a long time.

"A person like Qi Zong Nongzan, who has gone smoothly, will remember it most clearly when he encounters a big setback, and he may not be able to forget it in his next life. So as long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely make a comeback and fight for hegemony again."

"Now he has recruited a small half of Xue Yantuo's former staff, and an old friend like Tuyuhun, who follows behind as a follower. It's strange that he doesn't expand."

"The patriarch, will something happen to Tubo?"

"Yes, it should be done soon. This time it should be earth-shaking. It should be more difficult and more than ten times more dangerous than last time."

"Well, I think it's nothing. The last time they united with Xue Yantuo, both sides also sent out 50 million troops. What happened?"

"In the end, the patriarch and the other two general managers managed to defuse the situation, not to mention that there is no tyrannical Xue Yantuo this time?"

"I think it's nothing to worry about!"

"No no no no."

"It's different this time."

Li Yu didn't care about the flattery of his subordinates, and waved his hand lightly.

"This time, Yi Nan is gone, and it belongs to the Xue Yantuo people in Tubo, so it won't be swayed."

"This time the main force has become Qizong Nongzan, so he doesn't have to fool Yi Nan anymore."

"Isn't that right, Patriarch, what you said is true, not to mention there is Tuyuhun behind to stir up the flames!"

Li Yu, who had been in the room for two laps, returned to his seat with a perverted smile;

"Just fanning the flames?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

On the second day after the purchase, from 2022 am to 7:17 am on July [-], [-], I took a three- to four-month-old Kangao out for a walk, and when I came back, I found that there was a tiger-skin tiger-leopard-face missing at home. Russia Central Asia, disappeared. I searched for a day yesterday, plus today, I still found nothing. I plan to call the police tomorrow.
