Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 567 Alliance

When it comes to judging people, Wen Yanbo felt that he was very good at it. For example, on the way to Daizhou in the north, he accurately judged that Li Shan who was accompanying him was a person with a very complicated personality. Long-sighted and ruthless at the same time.

Everything that happened afterwards proved that Wen Yanbo was right. Li Shan could redeem [-] Han people, and at the same time, he could mercilessly let his subordinates cut off hundreds of heads...Wen Yanbo clearly remembered when he left Guji Town in the early morning of this morning , Li Shan strolled past the mountains of heads with indifference.

Therefore, after a brief observation, Wen Yanbo confirmed, dumbfounded, that whether it was Tuli Khan or the rate of association, he was sincere in asking Li Shan for advice.

As the so-called good fighters have no great achievements, since Li Shan took office, he has had a rift with his colleagues, and he has no military power. The Turks invade the country every year, and Daizhou is in ruins.

But Li Shan found another way to start from the business route, and used the subtle means to force Yuan Junzhang, who had refused Li Yuan's consolation three times, to surrender to the Tang Dynasty... , It is said that Li Shan took advantage of it again and again.

"Jieli is powerful, but elder brother is weak." Li Shan was not polite, and said directly: "If you want to fight, it is not a day's work."

"Ashina dominates the grassland Mobei, and Jieli claims to control 40 strings, but it's just a lie. I heard..." Li Shan paused before continuing: "I heard that Jieli Khan believes in Zhao Deyan, centralizes power and has strict laws and regulations. Are the Tiele, Huihe, Bayegu and other tribes all dissatisfied?"

Tuli Khan took a deep look at Li Shan, "That's true. The tribes in the grassland have always moved because of the water and grass, and the government orders are weak, but now the old customs are changed, the government orders are onerous, and many tribes are dissatisfied."

The association rate on the side added a few words, which caused the corners of Li Shan's mouth to twitch, and he couldn't help but look at Wen Yanbo, both of them wanted to laugh...Speaking of it, Zhao Deyan is indeed a traitor, but he is very likable traitor.

In the final analysis, what Zhao Deyan wants Jieli Khan to do is to establish a country with a centralized system, similar to the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the Central Plains, where there are three provinces, six ministries, and two levels of state and county administrative systems, but completely ignores the inadaptability of nomads .

The military system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, without the order and military amulets of the Tang Emperor, whoever dares to mobilize troops is a rebellion... Can the leaders of so many tribes in the grassland tolerate it?
Last year, Zhao Deyan even suggested to Jieli Khan to collect the elite of various tribes to form a standing army... Jieli Khan was tempted for a while, but it turned out that Tuli Khan was able to return to Wuyuan County because of the secret support of many tribes.

It can be said that Zhao Deyan stirred up chaos on the grassland by himself, and made many tribes dissatisfied with Jieli Khan... Li Shan felt that the effect of stirring up wind and rain in Shuozhou and Daizhou was really not as good as that of Zhao Deyan .

The leader of the association rushed to ask: "If the elder brother accepts the hearts of all the tribes..."

"Absolutely impossible." Li Shan shook his head and said, "Just like in Chang'an, the Crown Prince and the King of Qin seized the heir, and there were many courtiers attached to them, but more courtiers were unwilling to get involved. For example, they would rather be released as a county magistrate next year or last year... ..."

After hesitating for a while, Li Shan snarled at Wen Yanbo, "Officer Yanbo is the Minister of the Middle School, and he is the Duke of the county, and he refuses to be biased."

Wen Yanbo remained silent, thinking that Li Shan was really good at talking nonsense, he was just bullying others... I really don't have any obvious inclinations myself, but my elder brother Wen Daya is the Shangshu of Daxingtai Industry Department of Shandong Road, a direct descendant of King Qin People and horses.

"Even though Jieli Khan treats the tribe harshly, the leaders of the tribes may not be willing to vote for brother, otherwise disputes will inevitably arise." Li Shanqing said sincerely, "So, brother doesn't need to win over."

The corners of Wen Yanbo's mouth twitched, you really gave advice to Tuli Khan... Li Tang would be more beneficial if there was a big dispute and killing people.

Tuli Khan pondered for a long time, nodded and said: "Your brother's words are true."

"But you can't be indifferent." Li Shan said softly: "With the signing of the covenant, all kinds of salt and tea goods will be continuously shipped to Yunzhou... Jieli Khan treats him harshly, brother should be gentle."

Wen Yanbo, who was listening with squinted eyes, suddenly said, "It's just what people want."

"Yan Bo Gong said so." Li Shan nodded and said, "Jie Li loses people's hearts, brother doesn't need to win over tribal leaders, but he can win people's hearts."

Tuli Khan's face was moved, he hesitated and said in a low voice: "I heard the news yesterday that Wang Zhang wants to give Tie Le and Huihe tribe leaders important positions."

"While treating them harshly while conferring positions, does Jieli Khan treat the chiefs of the tribes as fools?" Li Shan laughed and said, "If that's the case, we must alienate the Ashina tribe. This is also a good opportunity for my brother."

Give a stick and then a carrot... Then you have to choose the right time. Jieli Khan wanted to take over the power, and he was eager to rule the grassland with laws, but he only gave one so small, maybe it was still hidden. Poisoned carrots, what effect does this have?
Maybe it will have the opposite effect!

Under the big tree, the four chatted for a long time, and at noon they only took some dry food. Li Shan kept planning for Tuli Khan, how to be gentle with the various tribes, how to win over people's hearts, how not to cause Xieli Khan's swift and violent counterattack, and The two sides establish a safe and efficient communication channel.

Until dusk approached, Tuli Khan held Li Shan's hand affectionately, "We will meet again someday, and we will have a drink and talk, but my brother is in Shuozhou, so there must be a chance to meet again."

Under normal circumstances, Li Shan, who is in charge of Daizhou's general manager's office, should be in Daizhou and Xinzhou, east of Yanmen Pass. The words of Tuli Khan obviously meant something. The younger brother dared not disobey the order... and please cover up one or two."

"It's just a few trivial things." Tuli Khan counted with his fingers, "In late May, Jieli Khan will definitely commit a crime, but he won't do his best. Brother, it's better to go back to Daizhou."

Obviously, Tuli Khan is not very optimistic about the defense of the Guji Town Fort. After all, although the Turks are not good at attacking the city, they are not helpless, let alone only two months. Strong defense?
Li Shan shook his head and said, "In late May, I'm afraid my younger brother will return to court."

"what?"

"We got married today, although it was due to state affairs, but we hit it off right away. My younger brother is not willing to lie to my elder brother." Li Shan's eyes were sincere, "The governor of the state has been elected by the court."

Listen to this, look at Li Shanna's expression, this time it's Tuli Khan's turn to be speechless... Have you forgotten about Mayi, you really think I don't remember Yushe She who supported me the most How did he die?
Also hit it off!
"The new governor of the acting prefecture is Li Jing, the county magistrate of Yongkang, and he will take office in April or May." Li Shan said in a low voice, "Nowadays, he is a famous general in the world, and if this person can be ranked in the top three, it will be absolutely difficult for Jieli Khan to break through."

Tuli Khan was not worried about this, as long as there were no accidents, it would be very difficult for Jieli Khan to break through the Yanmen Pass. What he was worried about was the implementation of the covenant.

"Brother, don't worry, this person is from the Danyang family of the Li family in Longxi." Li Shan said with a smile: "My younger brother and Danyang family have a very deep friendship. Li Kai, the acting county magistrate who is now in charge of Xia City, is my younger brother's best friend, and he is the Duke of Yongkang County. nephew."

Nodding slightly, and exchanging a few words of pleasantries, they broke up in this dilapidated village. Not long after, Li Shan and Wen Yanbo watched the Turkic cavalry go north.

"Did he notice it?"

"It doesn't matter." Li Shan said with a smile: "This is a conspiracy, and it is upright."

"Didn't Jieli Khan treat other tribes harshly?"

"If Tuli Khan wins over other tribal leaders, will Jieli Khan tolerate it?"

Wen Yanbo was silent for a while, then sighed, "It's like Zhang Yi, Su Qin."
