Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 605
Song Sen seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Although the situation in the Northwest War had little to do with Baiqisi, Song Sen was not idle in Liangzhou City.

During these days when Li Qinzai and Tubo fought against the guerrillas, Song Sen and Baiqisi's subordinates were also on the move.

Perhaps it was Li Zhi's instruction, Baiqisi entered Tuyuhun in disguise during these days, and approached the leaders of various tribes in Tuyuhun as a businessman, and on behalf of the Tang court, offered official salary or great benefits to the tribal leaders to make them loyal to the emperor of Tang Dynasty .

Annexation of a country is not only dependent on war, but many means other than war are even more important than war. After occupying a foreign country, you must first digest it before you can completely integrate it into your own territory.

This is what Song Sen and Baiqisi belonged to.

Before Su Dingfang's army arrived, Song Sen had already started to digest the matter of Tuyuhun.

Once Su Dingfang’s war in Tuyuhun goes smoothly, if Tubo withdraws its troops, Datang will be able to take over all the land in Tuyuhun with the support of the leaders of the tribes in Tuyuhun. Next, officials will be appointed by the Ministry of Officials of the Tang Dynasty to build cities and yamen to complete the Tang dynasty. The rule of Tuyuhun.

Song Sen was very excited when he saw Li Qinzai, and he didn't know if he was pretending, his eyes were red, and he went to meet Li Qinzai, and even raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears.

"Uncle Li, you really want to disgrace yourself!" Song Sen choked up.

Li Qinzai looked at him with a smile, and was quite touched in his heart. He held his hand with both hands, and said, "Lao Song, our relationship should be purer. Don't think about it, two big men. I haven't reached that level yet... "

Holding Song Sen's hand, Li Qinzai suddenly squeezed it hard: "Huh? Where are the tears?"

Song Sen was stunned: "What?"

"Didn't you raise your sleeves to wipe your tears just now? Why are your sleeves dry? Where are your tears?"

"Uh..." Song Sen's old face suddenly turned pale.

Seeing Song Sen's embarrassment, Li Qinzai sighed and said, "Old Song, you are not sincere."

"Uncle Li County has returned from a great victory. It is unlucky to shed tears. The tears of a subordinate official can only flow to the heart..."

"Oh, I don't care if it's auspicious or not, just cry for me right now, the tears are like rain, like the kind of mourning for a concubine."

Song Sen's face was cloudy and uncertain, and then blushed vigorously, as if he had been constipated for ten days but still couldn't express his expression.

Li Qinzai's cheeks couldn't help twitching, silently cheering for him.

After a long time, Li Qinzai suddenly said, "Let's just forget it if we can't make it out."

Song Sen let out a long sigh of relief: "Thank you."

After entering the city and returning to the governor's mansion, Pei Shen, the governor of Liangzhou, greeted him and held a banquet as usual to welcome Li Qinzai and celebrate his achievements.

There were dances and music in the mansion, but Li Qinzai was dull.

After seeing Zi Nu's Feitian Dance, Li Qinzai had already been through the seas, and no matter how beautiful other people's dances were, he had no intention of watching them again.

The officials of the governor's office toasted Li Qinzai one after another, and Li Qinzai responded politely, and he was half drunk in a short time.

Song Sen came up with a wine cup, and after the two drank together, Song Sen whispered in his ear: "For Li Xianbo's contribution, the official has written a memorial, and sent the flying horse belonging to the Baiqi Division to send it to Chang'an City. "

"This time Lixian Boke made a great contribution. Datang swallowed Tuyuhun almost effortlessly. Old General Su led the army from thousands of miles away, so it was just a formality."

"I heard that Lu Dongzan has ordered the Tubo troops to retreat. Today Baiqisi found out that all the Tubo troops in the north of Tuyuhun had withdrawn to the Kunlun Mountains. On the way, they encountered Pei Xingjian's [-] Anxi troops. Hehe, they didn't fight..."

Li Qinzai sobered up a little bit: "Did Lu Dongzan encounter the Anxi Army? Why didn't Pei Duhu fight?"

Song Sen said with a smile: "Chang'an has long had a secret decree for Pei Xingjian. The emperor wanted to take the land of Tuyuhun first, so that there should be no extra trouble. Since the Tubo army is retreating, why bother to fight again? Let them go away honestly, let's take the land and talk about it later. "

Li Qinzai nodded, that's right, take the land calmly first, and don't force Lu Dongzan to jump over the wall.

The performance of the Tubo army in Tuyuhun belongs to the stock market that opened high and went low, with a daily limit at the opening, and a miserable green fall when the market closed. In the early stage, they took advantage of enough, and they were just one step away from destroying the country. In the later stage, they were disgraced and embarrassed.

The battle of Tubo's invasion of Tuyuhun was actually defeated, and it cost tens of thousands of casualties, but nothing was gained, and Datang took advantage of it.

It is conceivable that when the news reaches Tubo, the public opinion will be turned against the sky.

What Lu Dongzan has to deal with now is not Su Dingfang's army, but to think about how to explain to Tubo Zanpu and the powerful landlords after returning to Tubo.

With the failure of the Tuyuhun war, the position of the Prime Minister of Tubo is no longer very secure. If there is no accident, there may be a round of turmoil in Tubo, or even a coup.

"Uncle Li has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. After returning to Chang'an, the emperor will definitely reward him. At least the county marquis of Jinjue is a sure thing. I will ask Uncle Li to continue to take care of the next official." Song Sen's smile was particularly flattering.

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Song Zhang is not bad, you Baiqisi did a great job secretly and greatly in another battlefield. After returning to Chang'an, Song Zhang will also be promoted? What kind of official is Chang'an to be promoted?"

"Hahahaha, with the blessing of Uncle Li, if Chang'an is in charge one level higher, he will be in charge of Gyeonggi. He will be in charge of Guanzhong Baiqi Division. Maybe he will be transferred to Hedong Road or Jiangnan Road."

When the topic of promotion was brought up, Song Sen didn't feel sleepy. While pretending to be reserved, he couldn't hide the embarrassment on his fat face. The fat on his face was greasy and viscous, like a piece of pork belly just out of the pan.

"Since Emperor Taizong set up the Baiqi Division during the Zhenguan period, there have been a large number of Baiqi Division talents for decades, but it is not modest to say that talents like Xiaguan are really rare. In just two or three years, from a mere deputy commander How is it that things have risen to take charge of Gyeonggi..."

"What an asshole," Li Qinzai glanced at him, and quickly cut off his words: "Floating up? Forgot what my last name is? Your promotion is all thanks to my blessing, and I haven't seen anything about your filial piety yet, officer." It gets bigger and bigger, but people's sophistication feeds the dogs..."

Song Sen froze, and forced a smile: "Uncle Li County forgives the crime, but Baiqisi is really useless, but the official is sincere to you, and has no second thoughts. Although Baiqisi is directly under the emperor, but in the heart of the official It's all about you..."

Li Qinzai felt cold and had goosebumps all over his body, especially when he saw Song Sen's watery little mung bean eyes, he shuddered even more.

Song Sen didn't feel nauseous at all, but felt that his flattery was just right, so he respectfully toasted him with a glass of wine.

"Li Xianbo will stay in Liangzhou City for a few days. Chang'an's decree should come soon. Your Majesty will definitely recall you to Chang'an. I'm here to congratulate Li Xianbo in advance on his promotion to the rank and title. His family is prosperous for generations."
